Chapter 351 It was clearly arranged
Chapter 357: Arranged Clearly

I was held hostage by Sato all the way to the police station, and I couldn't help but sigh. Because I was always by Sato's side, I didn't even have the chance to pick up my cell phone. I could only sit there. It seemed that I could only wait until I got to the police station to call Jingliu.

Before leaving, I did not forget to put on a hat and tied my hair inside the hat. This way, at least the undercover police would not see me. After all, my appearance, um... In other words, Baihe Bing's appearance has been seen by the organization. Regardless of whether there are undercovers in the Beihua Police Station, I must do a basic disguise. Although Sato was puzzled by my behavior, he did not stop me from doing so.

I followed Sato all the way to the police station. After entering the police station, I followed Sato to her office. It was past ten in the morning. The police officers had already started their busy day, and the office of the Criminal Division was even busier. However, there were some idle figures in the busyness, such as... Five small figures sitting at the conference table.

"Hey, Officer Sato, you're so slow." Genta, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to start complaining when he saw Sato hurriedly walk in.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Sato walked to the conference table and looked at the five children, and apologized hurriedly, "I was delayed by something. I'm really sorry."

"Hmph, but you made us wait for a long time." Mitsuhiko said with his arms folded across his chest and in a dignified manner.

"Well, well, don't say that." Conan hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "I believe Officer Sato must have been delayed by some case. Look, she brought back a strange older... brother..." The change of subject was successful, but once Conan's eyes were fixed on me, he couldn't look away anymore. Not only him, but even the brown-haired little girl next to him also opened her glasses wide and looked at the person who appeared behind Sato in surprise.

"Hey... Haibara, although I have never seen it, this is my intuition, but am I seeing it right?" Rubbing his eyes, Conan confirmed again with Haibara beside him.

"I guess... I'm not mistaken." Shiho frowned and muttered softly. "No wonder I suddenly lost contact with you last night and didn't even reply to your message."

"Is this big brother the criminal that Officer Sato brought back?" The children did not have the same thoughts as Conan and Shiho, but just asked what they were thinking.

"Him." Sato looked back at me, who was wearing a hat in the middle of summer, and his mouth twitched slightly. "He is a strange older brother that my sister brought back when she was catching a criminal. We don't need to worry about him."

"..." I was speechless about Sato's words, and in fact, I was even more speechless about the five children in front of me. I was just worrying about how to explain to Shiho why I didn't go home last night, and now we met at the police station. But what case did Conan, the holder of the Death Halo, encounter again?

"Anyway, I'm going to settle this guy first, you guys wait for me." Sato said to the children.

"No need, I'll just wait here." I rejected Sato. Shiho was here anyway, so it didn't matter where I went.

"Well... well, you can go over there and call your family first." Sato pointed to the phone on the desk not far away. Then, she went to her seat to get some documents. Seeing her leave, I gave Shiho a look and then went to make a phone call.

"Moshi Moshi, who are you?" Soon, Jingliu's sweet voice reached my ears.

"Sister Jingliu, it's me." I whispered.

"Bing? How do you sound..." Jingliu on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned when he heard my voice.

"Well, for some reasons, I have turned back into an adult." I explained simply. "Time is short, please help me send the certificate of the newly picked up Renault to the Beihua Police Station. My current name is Baihe Bing."

"Pfft... Hahaha, Bing, did your driver's license get checked while driving on the road?" Jingliu burst into laughter. I could picture that cunning and charming smile in my mind without even having to think about it.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I will never drive without a license again." I said frustratedly. "I will ask Shiho to send a photo of me to your phone later. Please ask Shoulang to help me get a driver's license quickly. I don't have much time to transform, and I can't change back in public."

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I will handle it quickly." Jingliu restrained his smile. "Bing, you haven't come back to visit for a long time. I miss you so much..."

The gentle word "I miss you" hit my soft spot. Yes, it has been a long time since I went back to visit Jingliu. The last time seemed to be in... Oh, I can't even remember it myself. We have been in contact over the phone, but most of them were about business. It seems that I haven't seen Jingliu for a long time.

"It's my fault, Sister Shizuka.. Maybe not this week, maybe next week or the weekend after, I will definitely go back to see you and bring Shiho with me."

"Yeah~ It's settled~" The next moment, Jingliu's voice regained some vitality. "I look forward to your return and showing you the changes in our new home!"

"Okay, I will!" I hung up the phone with an apology. I no longer cared whether the police station's phone had a recording function. Compared to these, I now wanted to finish all the things at hand as soon as possible and then return to Jingliu.

"Huh... Somewhere in the world, there is always someone who misses me desperately. This feeling... is happiness, nothing more than this."

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

After the call, I returned to my desk and pulled out a chair to sit next to Shiho. The children didn't dare to say much about my actions, after all, I was wearing a hat and had a bandage on my face. The children couldn't see me clearly from the side, so they didn't pay much attention to me. Compared to my appearance, the children were more curious about the police station. But there were two exceptions.

"Xiao Xun, why... did you turn into an adult? Did you take a temporary antidote?" Conan moved closer to me. Although he had never seen what I looked like after I grew up, it was not difficult for him to guess from the color of my hair behind the hat and Shiho's reaction.

"I had an accident and had to grow bigger to participate in a battle." I whispered to Conan. "But you don't have to worry about the details. It's not a big problem." "You can force you to grow bigger to fight, and you still say it's not a big problem..." Conan looked at me with contempt. "So how long can Haibara's potion make you bigger?"

"According to the time it took you to grow bigger in the past two days, today is already the last day. I have to find a way to get away from Sato." I scratched my head. "What are you doing here? Are you involved in another case?"

"There was an arson case last night, and Ayumi seemed to have seen a guy who might be the murderer, so we came to help the officer." Conan said. "What about you? Why are you here with Officer Sato?"

"I...had a car accident last night. I was knocked unconscious by a criminal that Sato was chasing. After I woke up, Sato checked me for driving without a license. So I could only accompany her here to make a record." I gave Shiho an apologetic smile after saying that. "I don't want to get into any trouble right now. I have to go back to the doctor and wait for my body to change back."

"Remember to take your own blood sample when you get back." Shiho said in a light tone, as if she was dissatisfied with my failure to return home last night.

"Hey, don't be angry, Shiho. I was careless."

"You're lucky to be alive, especially after a car accident. Let's see if you dare to drive so fast next time." Shiho gave me a sidelong glance. Although it was sarcastic, it was not difficult to hear the concern in her words.

"Well... I'm the passive one this time." I said with a smile, lowering my voice. "Okay, okay, I got it. I'll pay attention. Oh, and take a front-facing photo for me. I'll send it to Sister Jingliu for identification later."

"I told you to prepare your documents in advance, but you didn't." Shiho took out her cell phone helplessly and pressed the shutter button on my face. As for the gauze on my face, I'll let Shoulang find someone to deal with it.

"Hey? When did you two get so good at chatting with this big brother?" Our conversation and actions attracted the children's attention.

"No, nothing. I just want to know why this big brother came here with Officer Sato." Conan waved his hand and smiled apologetically.

"Tsk... I always thought you two could always get along well with older people." Yuan Tai said disdainfully. "You don't have the energy of a child at all."

"Ahaha, ahahaha." Conan could only smile in apology. Shiho crossed her arms and bowed her head, saying nothing, skipping the question.

"That's right, you two rarely participate in any of our Junior Detective Team's group activities, and Xun is even worse, he just skips classes and doesn't come." Mitsuhiko also expressed his dissatisfaction with this.

"Since... since that's the case, let's do something together next time." In order to save his friendship, Conan had to reply.

"Eh? Really?" Ayumi was the first to perk up. "Then let's call Kaoru to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms together!"

"He won't go." Shiho took over. "What Kaoru can't accept the most is mushrooms."

"Hey...why is this happening?" Ayumi was a little unwilling.

"Then, let's go pick some pine mushrooms," Yuan Tai suggested. Pine mushrooms are the number one mushroom in seasonal food!

"He doesn't mind that." Shiho shrugged and agreed to the next event on my behalf. "I think he should go back."

"I have a feeling that Haibara-san knows everything about Kaoru." Mitsuhiko said with a surprised and envious look.

"After all, they are childhood friends." Ayumi also had an envious look on her face.

"Oh, never mind. Let's just do it this way!" Yuantai raised his fist.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!" The desire to play together is more important than anything else. At this moment, the children decided on the destination of their next trip.

"...Why do I feel like everything is arranged for me clearly?" Sitting aside, I couldn't help scratching my head.

"Accept reality." Conan patted my shoulder implicitly.

"You guys seem to be having a good time chatting." As soon as we finished speaking, Sato came over with a drawing board and police notebook in his hand. "Well, let's get started. Ayumi, could you please describe the appearance of the criminal you saw to me?"
