Chapter 186: Haibara Ai drank too much

Returning to their residence, Haibara Ai hadn't gone to sleep yet; she was wearing a pink, cute little pajama set and sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Akaso Kaze come upstairs, she asked, "Was the potion I made useful?"

Akaso Kaze nodded.

Replacing the poison and creating a fake-death effect—of course, it required an expert to take action.

If it weren't for that magical potion, the mother and daughter Kimie wouldn't have succeeded so easily.

Hey, what am I saying? That wasn't my goal.

"I'll leave the matter of acquiring the laboratory to you. Once you've chosen it, I'll step in. I've already chosen an assistant, and I'll have her come to help you then."

Akaso Kaze wasn't lying about providing a job for Katsuragi Sachiko.

Haibara Ai needed a laboratory, and of course, she needed an assistant—an assistant she could completely control.

Katsuragi Sachiko, a medical student who depended on her mother, was just right.

"Hey, what are you carrying in your hand?"

Haibara Ai asked curiously.

"Nothing," Akaso Kaze hid the bottle in his hand behind his back.

"You should get some rest early; I'm going to the study for a moment."

Akaso Kaze entered the study and found a place to hide the white liquor.

He had gotten this from Hattori Heiji.

He had originally wanted to give it to Haibara Ai to drink, but after seeing the label, Akaso Kaze didn't dare to.

He had seen Hengshui strong white liquor before, but what the hell was "White Spirit"?

This thing was probably fake liquor.

Could it be that Conan grew bigger because he drank fake liquor?

Akaso Kaze decided it was safer to wait until Haibara Ai's laboratory was established and have it tested before considering whether to drink it.

After hiding the liquor, Akaso Kaze went back to sleep.

After a while, the bedroom door opened quietly, and a little head poked in.

Seeing no one, Haibara Ai entered the room and closed the door.

She muttered curiously, "I want to see what good things you've hidden from me."

Akaso Kaze hadn't intended to hide it from Haibara Ai; he just planned to tell her later.

So, of course, he hadn't hidden it very secretively.

It was soon found by Haibara Ai.

"What is this? White liquor?"

Looking at the Chinese characters on the label, Haibara Ai was completely confused.

She took the liquor back to her room, took out her little cup, and poured a glass.

"Hey, the taste doesn't seem bad."

Haibara Ai sipped it little by little and soon finished a glass.

"Hey, I'm so dizzy."

She climbed onto the bed with her little face flushed red.

After a while, she began to toss and turn unconsciously.

"Ah, I'm so hot."

"It feels like my body is on fire."
