Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Covered and wrapped.

When she got home, she saw a note left by Mingmei, saying that she had signed up for a mountaineering tour. There was an exclamation mark and a playful expression on the note – a furry cat face. At the bottom, it also said “I will find my own love and show it to you.” There was no need to say who this “you” was directed to.

“How childish,” Winette commented.

Completely ignoring her usual behavior, Winette was calm and composed, but she still checked the information left by Mingmei to prevent any unstable factors. What worried her most was that such safety accidents were common in Japan, and there was no place that was absolutely safe.

Most of the time, the word security only describes the distance between the individual and the detective.

She thought that Xiaolan often won the first prize in some shopping malls and some invitation tickets, so she felt that Xiaolan was too lucky and was not affected by Conan.

Winnet buried her head in the pillow, then slowly raised it up, like a little girl in love. She kept thinking about Ai and had no intention of doing anything else.

In fact, she is very free now.

The organization had not issued any tasks, and the church had not made any specific requests. She thought to herself that even if the anti-Tian Qian used her as a gimmick, no one would come to her church to hold a wedding ceremony so soon.

If it is a funeral, although she is very professional, the image of the old priest is more in line with people’s expectations. Moreover, Japanese-style funerals are the mainstream, and the system of funeral homes is very developed.

She stayed home to maintain her props and her stash of guns.

The toy library in the study had been touched before, and she guessed that it was just Edogawa’s impulse. He was the only one who was bored enough to solve such a puzzle. Winnet opened the secret compartment in the room and took apart the accessories skillfully. The quiet life did not make her unfamiliar or dull. The training may not be as intense as when she first started, but she was also testing herself periodically. As she got older, her core strength also improved, and it was still in the rising stage. She simulated in her mind that her current self could easily kill her former self.

While oiling the knife, Winette remembered what Xiao Ai had said. A strong enemy like Kyogoku Makoto might be better than her in bare hands, but what she pursued was not competition, but a simple, efficient killing technique, and the first lesson of this technique was that everything could be used as a weapon.

Therefore, she cannot lose.

Even if it was just a simple rivalry, she didn’t want to be inferior to someone in Ai’s impression, which would make her already weak sense of security even worse. The pressure from the organization was still too strong; she could laugh it off, but Ai couldn’t ignore it.

“I shouldn’t have gotten hurt in front of her.” Winnet said to herself.

An immature fifteen-year-old made a mistake.

The influence of this lingering impression even affected Ai’s judgment when she heard the news of her death.

Because pure rationality does not exist, there is always empiricism and risk aversion in self-righteous rationality. This is also true for people with abnormal brains, and Winette regards herself as the best example.

He threw the knife like a butterfly knife, letting it spin in the air, then grabbed the handle.

After playing for a while, Winnet stood behind the curtains and looked downstairs through the gap in the window.

“An uninvited guest…”

At first I thought it was related to the people in the organization.

When Winnet saw who was coming, she lowered her guard.

It’s a garden.

She was a little confused, wondering why Yuanzi looked so hesitant. Seeing that she was coming to find her, she went downstairs, climbed out of the French window, and took a detour to the entrance.

When Yuanzi lowered his head in thought, Winnet appeared as if by teleportation.

“Ahhhh!” Sonoko was startled.

“Yuanzi, why didn’t you ring the doorbell?”

Winnet tilted her head slightly.

Yuanzi covered his chest and said:

“Miss Winnet, why are you walking without making any sound?”

Because this is the basics of assassination.

In fact, only part of it was due to habit, and more of it was the way Winnett learned to greet Mingmei. She always said that showing up suddenly like this could give the other person a surprise. But now there should be one more prerequisite – based on the other party’s enthusiastic expectation. Obviously, this situation is not quite right now. Yuanzi took a deep breath, revealing the air of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law. However, after brewing for a few seconds, she still took a tactful way to speak, wanting Winnett to accompany her shopping.

Sonoko also said that she also invited Xiaolan, and the destination was Beido Department Store.

Miss Winnett was not good at dealing with things, and did not ask what Sonoko’s goal was. She thought it was just a small matter of shopping in the mall, so she agreed. Moreover, it was not that she had no interest at all, and she wanted to improve her fashion sense a little bit – she wanted to buy some clothes for Ai. Now Ai’s clothes are basically bought online by Dr. Agasa, which means that her Ai is a clothes rack, and she looks good in anything.

Well, Dr. Agasa’s fashion sense is much better than mine.

However, she has two talented girls, Sonoko and Xiaolan, by her side, so at least she can get some reference from normal girls.

“Just the three of us?”

“No, Uncle Maori… Well, that little devil will come with us too. But they definitely won’t move with us.” Then she warned, “Don’t forget, tomorrow morning at nine o’clock.”

……

529 Poirot Cafe

Winnett watched Yuanzi become inexplicably nervous, then leave in a hurry, then changed her clothes and went out.

She was wearing a long-collared sweater with a black coat on the outside. She didn’t know what to do, so she just strolled on the street to relieve her thoughts.

There were few pedestrians. Occasionally someone walked by her and looked twice at her because of the color of her hair and eyes. The sky was cloudless. Sometimes a few cars passed by her side. Only a few drove as recklessly as vodka. At the corner of a small road, an elderly gentleman and an old lady were chatting; a young man in a shirt was sitting on the edge of the boulevard and painting facing the park square. Winnet glanced at it casually and saw the bright golden oil paint. The autumn feeling was even more intense than in reality. According to the method of analyzing the author’s mood, it was probably a melancholy memory. A feeling of being out of the world tickled her heart, as if a bug was crawling on her arm; she sank one foot into the sand for children to play, and then she reacted from this confusion.

That was the sentimentality of ordinary people. She thought that she was more like an ordinary person, and at the same time she became sober. This was a gift from Ai. Finally, she stopped in front of a plum blossom forest that had not yet bloomed.

After a while, I’ll bring Xiaoai to appreciate the plum blossoms.

She stuffed her dry hands into her coat pockets. She walked until dusk, looking at the scenery like Ai did in the car. She suddenly found herself near the Maori Detective Agency, but she didn’t go to the door to disturb them. Instead, she focused on the cafe downstairs of the agency.

Café Poirot.

When Winnet saw this name, she felt that it was a little unusual. After all, the great detective Poirot was also well-known, and as one of the detective novels that had not been distorted, Winnet had to be cautious about names related to these.

After all, Edogawa Conan is a combination of these elements.

Ha, how could this happen?

Winnett stopped thinking about it. The coffee shop was lit up with a sunset light. When she touched the wooden door, the wind chimes swayed. Then, Winnett saw two figures busy at the counter. One of them was packing things. The back of the figure gave Winnett a familiar feeling; dark yellow hair, about 1.8 meters tall, but not that strong temperament. She had only seen one guy like this; a guy who hovered in the dark like a sinister snake.

“Um, this way please?”

When Winnett was quietly looking at the man at the counter, the waitress came over to show her to her seat. She was not used to such attentive service.

The waitress was a gentle and lovely young woman with beautiful long straight brown hair, big aqua eyes that looked tearful, droopy eyes, a baby face, but a slender figure; her smile was energetic and friendly, giving her the feeling of a girl next door.

Before Winnet could speak, the clerk held her arm and carefully led her to her seat, as if she were a completely blind person. She could not refuse until she sat on the sofa in the back row with the least obstruction. Winnet explained in an apologetic tone that she could actually see blurry scenes. Hearing her words, the clerk said to Winnet embarrassedly:

“Oh, I’m sorry. Your eyes are just…”

Winette smiled and winked playfully.

“Are you going to compliment me on my beautiful eyes? People I’ve met recently have been saying that.”

The young girl understood the meaning of the words and became more relaxed, as if they were good friends. The clerk laughed:

“Yes, it’s really beautiful, like a gem.”

Cracked gemstone.

The clerk smiled and praised Winnett’s Japanese. She introduced herself. Winnett learned that her name was “Yanjie”. She said that she was a Japanese clerk and a Japanese clerk. She was very good at Japanese. She introduced herself. Winnett learned that her name was “Yanjie”. She was very good at Japanese. She introduced herself. Winnett learned that her name was “Yanjie”.

With such a lovely clerk, it’s no wonder that there are so many regular customers as long as the food isn’t too bad.

“Ms. Azusa, the ham sandwich is ready.”

In an instant, the atmosphere around Winnet changed. The departing man was no longer in awe, and the old man was no longer in awe. The old man was no longer in awe, and the old man was no longer in awe. The old man was no longer in awe, and the old man was no longer in awe.

“Mr. Amuro, what’s wrong? Are you looking at a foreign beauty?” Xiao Zi, who had just delivered the meal, held the plate and looked at Amuro Toru with a teasing look, and even touched the corner of his clothes with her elbow. Amuro revealed a troubled look and explained to her: “No, it’s just because we happened to meet. And we didn’t get along very well.”

Xiao Zi was surprised by this. In her opinion, Mr. Amuro was definitely a popular man. She teased him:

“Is it because you hate me because I think I’m a frivolous man with dyed hair?”

“No,” he said.

There was a time when he cared a lot about the color of his hair, but in most cases it was just like the misunderstanding that Miss Zi mentioned. People often don’t have much opinion about native blonde hair, but there is still prejudice.

Although Winnet Moriarty mocked him with words, she was not one of those people who had any prejudice against him.

Content related to the organization cannot be disclosed.

“It’s because there’s something unpleasant about the detective work,” he added.

Xiao Zi nodded. It was true that detectives were a profession that could easily offend people. In her impression, Mr. Amuro was different from the great detective Mori upstairs. She thought his job was to investigate extramarital affairs, find cats and dogs, etc. In fact, this was also the content of Kogoro’s job most of the time.

“Then an apology is necessary.” Xiao Zi interjected.

Toru Amuro laughed at the liveliness of the young girl.

He knew that she was at the age where she was interested in love.

“That’s true. Then I’ll buy her a cup of coffee.”

He started to prepare after he finished speaking, and Xiao Zi deliberately “ignored” Winette, the guest, and wandered among other guests. She remembered everyone’s name and greeted them warmly, showing her dedication and love for her work.

Amuro Toru took a break from his busy schedule and headed to Winette’s seat with his coffee cup and dinner tray. He sensed the lack of goodwill, but he didn’t care.

“Miss Winnett, I have offended you before and there have been many misunderstandings between us. This is my little apology for my abruptness and rashness. You are a generous pastor. I have heard about you as I live nearby.”

He smiled and spoke sincerely, but Winnet thought it was a complete disguise. At this time, she smiled and said to him with the same hypocrisy:

“It’s a good thing to know your mistakes and then correct them. I think that even as a detective, you should carefully select the content of your work and maintain good moral standards and professional standards, right, Mr. Amuro?” Then she picked up the sugar bowl, added an amount that would make any coffee lover frown, and said, “I agree with you. Don’t take it personally! That’s it!”

……

530 Each with His Own Agenda

The two people, each with their own agenda, shook hands. Toru Amuro excused himself by saying he was working, while Winette enjoyed the coffee and food and gave her frank compliments.

She showed little interest in him. Amuro Toru noticed that she had a strong taste for sweet foods.

“The 19th century, the 19th century, was a period of rapid development. The 19th century …

The answer was of course. She asked Winnet to call her Xiao Zi directly and handed her the menu. Today’s recommended menu included pizza steak and seafood udon. Winnet ordered the recommended menu and picked a few items from the regular menu, leaving Xiao Zi with a self-doubt that she had heard it wrong. She was stunned for a moment and asked Winnet to confirm. After getting the exact answer, she kindly reminded her: “There are a lot of them.”

Xiao Zi reported to Amuro Toru exactly what Winnett ordered; then, he started to prepare the food separately. He thought she was really petty, and if she wasted food, he would embarrass her a little. He had already prepared the ingredients and some semi-finished products in advance, and the dishes were served quickly. Xiao Zi was busy all the time, so he personally served the dishes to Winnett, and did not forget to say:

“Please use.”

Winnet saw that he didn’t leave immediately, and she was not in the mood to argue. Her mind was on Xiao Ai, and it didn’t matter whether Bourbon liked to play house or work games. Then, she ate quickly as usual.

With pizza in the right hand, he elegantly rolled up the pasta with a fork in the left hand.

Toru Amuro was shocked by her lavish eating style, and then he slowly returned to his work. In the following time, he did not forget to glance at Winnet occasionally. When the plates were stacked up, he confirmed that this was a woman who could win the championship in the big eater competition.

Xiao Zi was more surprised than him, and she stared at Winnett while delivering the food. Because it was getting late, the number of customers in the store gradually decreased, and she began to be idle, so she kept staring at Winnett, and she stood on tiptoe and whispered in Amuro Toru’s ear:

“Mr. Amuro, where did the food go?”

Then she showed a lovely jealousy, envying the physique that could never gain weight no matter how much one ate.

Amuro Toru comforted her, saying that keeping in shape is a combination of activity and metabolism, and there is no shortcut. In short, it is obvious that Winette is definitely doing high-intensity exercise.

Considering her relationship with Abby, it’s really intriguing.

Toru Amuro planned to get information about Abis indirectly. However, Winette Moriarty was a stubborn person, and he didn’t want to put the Miyano sisters in the spotlight. Moreover, Toru Amuro felt that Abis was mysterious and must have other tricks up her sleeve. So he temporarily put this idea aside.

Winette ate all the food, and her experience of being hungry made her neither picky nor wasteful. She drank coffee with full sugar, raised her head, looked at Amuro Toru without hesitation, and then praised his cooking skills in French.

“Welcome again.” Amuro gave a standard business smile.

“The food and service were excellent, I will come again.”

Winnet smiled, but it was to Xiaozi. Then, she pushed open the door of the coffee shop and changed her expression in the place where the glass could not reach. As for the only purpose of Bourbon working in this place, she could only think of it for Maori Kogoro. This detective who suddenly became smart and famous might have become one of the objects of observation by Rum and even the organization. Winnet concluded that Bourbon was only collecting information about him and it was impossible for him to start to suspect Conan.

“However, it’s only a matter of time before Edogawa is so arrogant and gets exposed. It’s just that Bourbon doesn’t know about that drug.” Winnett thought and turned back home, thinking that this person had a keen sense of smell. Winnett hated such a person lurking in her circle of life, as if even the stable life that Xiao Ai hoped for would be involved in a struggle.

However, Bourbon had not yet taken the initiative to approach the Maori family and had not touched her sensitive spots, so he just let it go. His risk had been reduced to the lowest level since he asked her to protect Mingmei.

She was not the only one who was not on the same page with the organization. Everyone acted based on some desire, including Gin, and there was nothing strange about it. Although she did not know the specific reason why Bourbon protected them, if Mingmei’s identification was correct, then Bourbon was a man who remembered the old friendship and was not as cold and ruthless as he appeared to be.

If he took a step too far, now that she knew his true identity, Winnet wouldn’t mind playing the role of a murderer to nip him in the bud.

Even though this would fuel the organization’s suspicion of her.

She went back home to rest and turned on the TV to listen to the news program. The TV reported that single girls were attacked. This was the third case so far. The victims were dressed like standard hot girls, with their faces painted like light-skinned black South Africans, but their lips were white. The host called it “Yamaba makeup”, which seemed to be similar to a monster in Japanese legend. Winnett couldn’t understand this new trend, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was also a non-mainstream culture, a resistance to the oppression of the mainstream.

Although the victims were all hot girls, it still caused some panic. No wonder she rarely saw women walking alone at night when she came back at night. Even if their common point was that they were hot girls, it cannot be denied that the murderer could have attacked ordinary girls.

Winnett doesn’t care about this because Ai is portrayed as a little girl and she herself is not afraid of attacks.

Mingmei booked a hotel on the mountain and would not come back tonight. Winnet turned off all the lights in the house. In the dark environment, she would be more calm. She opened the curtains and felt the moonlight pouring into the room. She couldn’t help but move the piano in the house and play a song for herself before people were about to think about going to sleep. Her senses were not damaged. She still had a preference for music and food, but she was constrained by her emotions so that they would never be enthusiastic.

At night, she tossed and turned, and it was difficult for her to fall asleep; as soon as she closed her eyes, the face of the girl in the past appeared in her mind, and then gradually changed to a younger one, calling for a hearty smile and bright eyes staring at her. Such a picture seemed to whisper through the light of the soul through time and space. In the darkness, Winnet felt that there was a bright light that she could see clearly, casting a soft and beautiful light on the way to the dreamland of heaven.

Winnet did not assimilate this beautiful fantasy with reality. She did not dream, and her self-proclaimed noble emotions fell into a vulgar state. She was still in a state of being awake at any moment, but a little more dazed than usual. She woke up in the morning, found the secret compartment in the room, and stared at Xiao Ai’s photo for seven or eight seconds.
