Ai Haibara(灰原哀)
Ai Haibara is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it; indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as Conan's mother, have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. both victims of the APTX 4869), she finds it easier to talk to him. She certainly has no qualms about teasing him, and is more than willing to poke a hole in his ego. While Conan initially was disgusted by Ai's ties to the Black Organization, especially with how she introduced herself, seeing her remorse and pain has improved his opinion of her. He is repeatedly protective of her
and tries to give her hope when her fear of the men in black is overwhelming.
灰原哀是第三位可能对柯南/新一有爱恋之情的女孩,尽管她本人从未承认过这些;事实上,哀对柯南究竟有怎样的情感(友情或其他)仍然是个谜。周围的人,比如有希子,就声称她爱上了柯南。可以这么说,由于他俩拥有几乎相等的高智力天赋,他俩过去的遭遇又是惊人的相似(两位都是APTX4869的受害者),这使得哀与柯南交流起来更有共同语言。哀喜欢不加顾忌地开柯南的玩笑,甚至会把柯南戏弄得“体无完肤”。最初得知哀来自于黑衣组织,尤其是听到哀的自我介绍后,柯南对她是很鄙夷和厌恶的;然而,当意识到她的悔恨与痛苦后,柯南改变了对她的消极态度。后来,柯南屡次保护、关切哀;每当她无比惧怕黑衣组织时,试图给她带来希望。
