If I remember correctly, Haibara's last name, "Ai" stands for the letter "I" in Irene Adler, you know, the woman. In Sherlock Holmes, A scandal in Bohemia.
I think so.
It would make a lot of sense too, since Conan is basically a cuter version of Sherlock(no offense here). Both woman/girls, haibara and Irene changed both men's(Sherlock and Conan's) thoughts on girls. Sherlock? Yes, more. certain, but Conan did think that all girls were like Ran Mori before haibara showed up(not saying that ran isn't good or anything).
And also these girls share the same wit, although in Sherlock BBC version of course Irene is slightly more flirty.
And they both are kinda, well at least the way I see it, crushing on the detective. , even though there's another person for him. For Sherlock, Molly, which, well, Irene didn't know but just to make it better to understand; for Conan, it was Ran Mori.
Anyway, that's how I see it. Anyone agree?
