"Haibara…." Conan sighs, frustrated and embarrassed at the same time.
"It's ok, isn't it? Since you're still a little kid. You can't do anything about it, can you?" Haibara says, piggybacking Conan.
"Did you forget? I'm here because I want to solve the case before I go!"
"Yes yes, you've made that clear. I'm just making the process of getting you to the scene a little more amusing…" Haibara answers, obviously amused already, "O chibi-chan!"
"Geez…" Conan turns his head away in exasperation. They arrive at the mansion, filled with police officers and various reporters from news channels.
"Can I go in? I was chasing this boy after he ran away." Haibara asks a police officer after putting back on her hat. "He came from inside the mansion, so it's fine, right?"
"No, I can't let you pass. Megure-keibu said not to let anyone in. Once you're out, you're out, sorry." The officer shakes his head.
"I'm an important forensic examiner, keiji-san. If you don't let me in, the case might take much longer to solve than usual, and way more difficult too. When that happens, won't you be responsible for holding up everyone's work?" Haibara says in a challenging tone. "This boy is a witness to the murder too. If you let him go…."
"U-uh…" The police officer flinches, obviously swayed by Haibara. "…f-fine. I'll let you through…" The police officer lets us go, an uncertain look on his face. 'Huh-huh' Conan thinks, a funny expression on his face. 'You can't underestimate Haibara…Eh?' Conan thinks, a surprised look on his face. 'That conversation…I see! When that person spoke it was unnatural compared to what happened just now!'
"Haibara, can you put me down, I need to go check something in the yard." Conan says seriously, but with a confident look on his face.
"Mm? Did you find out who the culprit is?" Haibara turns her head around to look at Conan.
"Yeah. The culprit is probably Karazuwa-san." Conan answers as Haibara lets him down onto the ground.
"Nnn…then, be careful." Haibara says, and steps away from the shrunken Shinichi. "I have to act as the substitute forensic examiner for now."
"Ah, yeah right." Conan says, remembering. "I almost forgot… but jeez why are you even a qualified forensic examiner?" "
"It's a secret." Haibara smiles, "Then see you later, Kudo-kun." Haibara smiles and walks away into the mansion, her right hand holding down her hat. Conan looks after her with a curious look, and then walks towards the yard
