Chapter 47: The Formalities Are Completed and We Go to the Doctor's House
Dongye Ning arrived suddenly, and his departure was not expected by everyone.
At least according to the normal standards of making "new friends", simply exchanging names and then walking away seems less formal.
But it's understandable, after all, Higashi Yening is very busy.
After watching Higashino Ning go away, Hattori Heiji took off his hat and put it back on, "Then let's keep going. The wedding that I want to attend on my mother's behalf can be done later."
"Before he came here, this guy was talking about going to Shibuya to buy clothes. Xiaolan, do you have any recommended stores?"
...
While the Shinigami were traveling around Tokyo, Higashino Ning also returned home.
Because the package was not big, the delivery man put it directly into the mailbox after asking for his permission.
After coming to the sofa and sitting down, Dongye Ning couldn't wait to open the package, and a brown paper bag came into view.
Taking out the things inside, there is an "Adoption Conditions and Qualification Certificate" at the top, and below are some identity information forms and the like.
All documents are stamped and legally binding.
"Haihara Ai, 7 years old, Japanese, related to the head of the household... brother and sister."
After taking a rough look at the information, Dongye Ning carefully put it away.
Now Haihara Ai is indeed his child.
"Then when will you come to live here?"
"By the way, should I change my house first..."
Dongye Ning suddenly had the idea of buying a house.
Just... suddenly I have a particularly strong desire.
"Let's wait a little longer. The rent is almost due soon."
"Besides, I can't afford it even if I want to buy it now."
Dongye Ning put his thoughts away, then closed his eyes and took a nap.
The lunch break ended quickly.
This period of time will pass very quickly whether you are playing with your mobile phone or taking a nap. Only when you are a child, this period of time will pass very long.
Higashino Ning did not struggle for a long time between the two options of "Metropolitan Police Department" and "Dr. Agasa's house".
Anyway, there is no mission for me, just go to Haiyuan Ai and that’s it!
It was completely too late for him to go to work when Mumu Shisan gave clear instructions.
Bring a brown paper bag and splurge on a cab.
Neither the sights nor the mood on the road left much impression on Higashi Yening.
Stepping on the ground, the fresh wind blew slightly, helping him to completely calm down his mentality.
Ring the doorbell.
"Who?"
"Dr. Agasa, it's me, Higashino Ning."
"Oh, it's Officer Higashino. I'll come over and open the door right away. Wait a moment."
However, the person who came was not Dr. Ali, but Haihara Ai.
The moment she opened the door, little Loli's eyes suddenly felt a little trance-like.
It was clear that Higashi Yening was only wearing ordinary casual clothes, and what she held in her hand was not roses but a brown paper bag, but she still seemed to see the hesitation called "expectation" from the other person.
"Idiot, your thoughts have been too erratic lately! If you continue to think about your heart like this casually, sooner or later you will be deceived into a fool!"
Hui Yuan Ai quickly warned herself a few words and asked seriously, "Is it a day off today? Why did you come here suddenly?"
After seeing the real owner, the nervousness in Dongye Ning's heart completely disappeared.
He leaned against the wall like a socially delinquent young man and said in a frivolous tone, "Didn't you say yesterday that I would find an opportunity to talk to you in detail?"
"I just have time now, so I'm here."
Hui Yuan Ai blinked and thought to himself, you really didn't do any extra homework.
If he had already understood the relevant regulations in detail, Higashi Yening must have given up by now.
"Is it really just a random mention on a whim?"
Hui Yuan Ai suddenly thought of this, and his heart, which had been a little turbulent just now, completely calmed down.
Indeed, we just met by chance and got to know each other for a few days.
It was her own expectations that were too high.
But it doesn't matter, Higashino Ning is still her favorite type, as long as conditions permit, chasing him is not impossible.
Haibara Ai already had an idea the night she first arrived at Higashino Ning's house.
She must take the initiative to meet everything, including her own happiness.
"Okay, please come in." Haiyuan Ai calmed down, moved aside, and invited Higashino Ning to come in.
Dongye Ning didn't hesitate, changed his shoes and went straight in, as if he had returned to his own home.
Hui Yuan Ai looked a little helpless and silently closed the door again, and gave Dong Ye Ning a real label of "childlike innocence".
Because Higashino Ning is usually very polite when dealing with others, but just now he acted like a child who suddenly came to visit a good friend's house.
What is this if not childlike innocence?
"Officer Higashino, you are in very good spirits today."
Dr. Ali, who didn't open the door, came over with three cups of hot tea on a tray, "I wonder what brings you here today?"
Dongye Ning took the tea and nodded in thanks, "I have some things to discuss with Xiao Ai. If the negotiation is settled, I need to talk it over with you, Doctor."
Dr. A Li was a little confused, "You actually have something to do with me... Then let's talk about it. Do you need me to avoid it temporarily?"
Hui Yuan Ai, who was following him, was a little speechless, but he still took the initiative to say: "Doctor, please avoid it first."
Then Dr. Ali went to the laboratory to do research, and only said to call him when he was needed.
Dr. Ali is a kind and simple person.
Because Tono Ning is a policeman, he didn't set up any defenses, and Huiyuan Ai also agreed, so he left without any pressure.
As for curiosity...it's the same to wait until the other person finishes talking.
Dr. Agasa's departure brought silence to the living room.
Huiyuan Ai thought about it and chose to sit down opposite Tono Ning, and her eyes drifted to the brown paper bag on the table.
"What is this?"
Tono Ning leaned back, "Adoption materials."
Hearing this, Huiyuan Ai frowned instinctively, "I said, you should also understand, according to the adoption regulations, you are not..."
"Wait." Tono Ning raised his hand to interrupt, "Originally, it's okay not to take legal means. It only depends on whether you want to do it, right?"
Huiyuan Ai was speechless.
Indeed, although she is now staying at Dr. Agasa's house.
But if she wants to live somewhere else, as long as she tells Dr. Agasa clearly, she can go directly.
Even if Dr. Agasa disagrees, she can still leave willfully, because Dr. Agasa can't do anything to her because she has the evidence that Conan is Kudo Shinichi.
The reason why she never thought about these things at the beginning is simply that her mind itself will not lean towards this tendency.
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm forcing the emperor to abdicate...
Huihara Ai twirled her fingers a little uneasily. She caused the trouble herself, and she should solve it herself.
After a short silence, she said, "It would be too offensive to Dr. Agasa to leave directly. I don't want to do that."
