Winnett did not blame her for saying this. For those who appear to be strict on the surface, people will naturally look for their dark side. In fact, this is generally true, because perfection is a word that cannot withstand scrutiny. Seeing that Winnett could not resist the teasing, Mingmei gave up and turned the topic to Winnett's future arrangements.

Thus, the reservation for picking matsutake mushrooms was exposed. Winnett asked Mingmei if she wanted to go with them, and she shook her head quickly, saying that she was not interested in such activities. This was of course a lie. Winnett still remembered what Professor Hirota's wife had said, Mingmei was very active in both mountain climbing and swimming, and was the core of the whole team, always full of energy.

She doesn't force her.

On Sunday morning, Winette prepared Clyde's car. Dr. Agasa's Beetle was too small and was eliminated. He came here to try driving yesterday. The driving seats of the Mercedes and Beetle were on one side, so he got used to it. Winette put on her backpack and put some snacks and drinks for fun in it, ready to give to the children.

When she arrived at Dr. Agasa's house, she saw him surrounded by a group of children, looking very proud and happy. He was very confident about this trip and had already booked a seat at the hotel, so there would be no mistakes. Finally, he piled the package on the wide back seat and started the engine to set off.

Ai pretended to be very sleepy and lay down on the row of seats at the back of the car; the Young Detectives had to sit on the opposite side of the seats in the front with a small table, and Winette took the seat close to Ai.

Xiaolan's first prize was not paid out in time, so when Conan Edogawa followed her, she had a bad feeling.

However, it's just picking mushrooms, the probability of encountering the murderer is too low.

"Give me a bottle of water." said Ai.

Then, she sat up with the back of the chair blocking her, and whispered to Winette:

"Phew, what bad taste. You dress like a forty-year-old hiker, and that brown cowboy hat is so weird."

As it happened, there was a burst of laughter in front, and Winnet thought they were laughing at her. In the end, it was only Mitsuhiko's joke that harvested the laughter. Winnet pulled Xiao Ai's sleeve and said aggrievedly that she would wait for her to help her match her clothes. Although she was not as pretentious as a girl when she was acting coquettish, Xiao Ai was still a little hesitant and changed her words to say that it didn't matter what she wore because she was good-looking; she rested her head on Winnet's khaki loose trousers.

Winnett smiled again and talked quietly about the preparations she had made and the recommendations Mingmei had helped to make.

"Sister is really a worrier," she commented, "It's almost like preparing for the elementary school students who are about to go on a spring outing."

Humph! You are the elementary school student!

Miss Winnett dared not say a word and sat there in silence; she had become a motionless couch.

She was struggling in her heart, and opened the bag that Mingmei had prepared, which was full of things that suited Xiao Ai's taste. Winnet took out a vacuum-wrapped peanut butter cookie and twisted it in her hands, making various poses, like an eel, so that Xiao Ai would take the bait and then realize that she was the elementary school student who deserved attention. However, Xiao Ai imitated the goldfish and looked up to take the cookie away.

Xiao Ai slowly tore open the package, then sat up with one hand on Winnet's thigh, savoring it carefully:

"So you didn't make it yourself! I've been spoiled by your cooking skills. My sister's taste is too ordinary."

"Am I doing well?" Winnett said. She completely forgot about her little thoughts just now, and her mind was full of Xiao Ai's praise for her. She looked like she was in love, but in fact she was happy because she found the right measure. She felt that what she was doing was affirmed, and from now on she would firmly grasp her love.

"Well, I won't lie to a poor, single-minded silly girl," Xiao Ai stuffed the other half of the cookie into Winnet's mouth and said, "How is it - do you feel a little sweet? I suspect this is made according to your taste. Sister is really eccentric. Obviously, she is almost becoming an old woman."

"Mmmm."

Winette chewed her biscuit.

Super sweet.

The taste was mixed with other senses. This was Miss Winnet's unique sense of communal perception, which seemed to be the result of some mysterious practice. She thanked Mingmei in her heart and couldn't help but say a few good words for her:

"Keep the spirit of youth—"

"Okay, okay, I get it! You're going to tell me a story from the Bible again. I've already heard it once last time. If you keep talking like this, be careful not to turn into an ugly, old spinster." Xiao Ai interrupted.

Winette blushed.

She saw the smiling Xiao Ai.

There was a certain ambiguity in that smile that was not typical of a child's, as if it was saying that she had already prevented this possibility.

Winnett felt her throat dry and wanted to get a bottle of water. Suddenly, a loud noise woke her up. The children leaned against the car window, looking at the yellow leaves falling slowly and the endless woods. Winnett regained her composure. At this time, Xiao Ai also joined the queue. Her height made her kneel on Winnett's knees to look out. Winnett rarely showed a gentle look.

"Do you like it?" she asked.

"I always feel that this is a picture depicting a lonely person," said Ai.

"is it?"

"Yeah. But since I'm not alone, I can enjoy it without restraint."

……

520 Good smell

The continuous mountain ridges are golden.

When they arrived, it was still early and it was not yet time for the hotel to provide services. Instead of calibrating the reserved rooms, it would be more reasonable to go to the forest to pick matsutake mushrooms first.

After parking the car in the hotel parking lot, they walked towards the park on the mountain. There was a checkpoint at the entrance of the highway. Dr. Agasa showed the staff the proof of appointment, and the staff took them to the middle of the mountain as a guide. The staff explained some safety knowledge and precautions, and when they arrived at the picking area, he mentioned the rules of the activity:

"You can pick matsutake mushrooms here, but there are restrictions: adults can only pick three, and children can only pick two. Once you have picked them, the hotel will serve them to you immediately."

"Okay!" the young detective team said in unison.

"Oh, there's more." The staff pointed to the barbed wire about ten meters away and said, "After crossing these two barbed wires, there is the hunting area. You must not go in!"

"Hunting area?" Dr. Agasa didn't see this in the travel brochure.

"Because there are bears here." The staff member approached him and whispered.

However, Dr. Agasa's surprised cry made everyone know about it.

"But don't worry," he assured, "there aren't any bears on this side of the wire. It's absolutely safe."

Despite his assurance, the children still felt uneasy when they heard about the bears. In the face of their nervousness, Miss Winnett stood up with a gentle, self-sacrificing attitude, showing her muscles without any ripples, and said that she would drive away all the bears. If this was said by someone else, Conan would just think that she was comforting the children, but when it came from Winnett's mouth, he imagined that she might really be able to do it. This in itself is more terrifying than the bears.

"How can I let you, sister Winnet, stand in front of me?" Ayumi looked like she was looking at a weaker woman who was even more miserable than herself.

"That's right, Sister Winnet, you are so thin, I'm afraid you will be swallowed by a bear in one bite." Yuan Tai added.

"Didn't the staff say that there would be no bears here?" Mitsuhiko emphasized the rules.

Winnet's dream of being a reliable adult was shattered. She had shown her strong side, but she had not established the corresponding authority. Xiao Ai patted Winnet's thigh and said:

"You can't blame them. As long as you put on a tighter skirt, everyone will think you are a lady who doesn't care about worldly things."

Conan also came over to join in the conversation:

"You're even more deceptive than Xiaolan. But then again, can you really fight a bear?"

amount.

Maybe?

Miss Winnett was a little hesitant because she had never fought a bear before. If she just attracted its attention, then dodged and climbed a tree, there would be no pressure. She was confident in her reaction ability, and she would not freeze or slow down her movements because of fear.

"Why are you, a great detective, asking about something that even a child can figure out?" Ai looked at him with a sarcastic expression, shrugged and shook her hands to show how it was impossible. "Let alone a bear, Winette may not be able to beat a slightly stronger man - for example, the guy named Kyogoku we saw on Izu Beach. The physical difference is difficult to reverse, and there is a limit to using cleverness to defeat strength. You don't understand this, do you? Or do you take Hollywood kung fu movies seriously and think she has some internal strength or qigong? Also, what kind of emotional idiot would ask a lady such a question?"

Winnet seemed to see Conan's head full of arrows.

"I'm sorry, I'm just that kind of emotional idiot man who doesn't understand romance."

He surrendered and apologized repeatedly.

Conan thought about how he had wasted a great opportunity at the Lookout Restaurant, and he couldn't help but agree with Ai's opinion.

He really is an emotional idiot.

A man who is useless at the critical moment.

Seeing his dejected look, Xiao Ai couldn't help but change her words out of pity, saying that at least he was quite romantic, as the date location was chosen at a place that created a romantic legend twenty years ago.

This sounds like finishing blow to Conan.

"If you really pity me, then give me another antidote."

Xiao Ai ignored his obsession. She warned him again:

"It's not that I'm stingy with it, but your body can't withstand continuous changes in a short period of time. I was just speculating before, but the day before yesterday, the last mouse that took the drug periodically and continuously died due to cell tearing throughout its body. Although the effect will be somewhat different on humans, the probability of the same result is definitely more than 50%. If you don't want her to see the corpse of Kudo Shinichi, I advise you to be more obedient recently."

Conan's face changed and he stopped pestering Ai for the antidote.

Winette understood what Ai was thinking. If she didn't explain it clearly as she did now, Edogawa might do something like stealing. Without the guidance of the attending physician, taking medicine indiscriminately and potentially killing someone is no joke.

Her daughter Xiao Ai is a kind-hearted doctor.

It's all the organization's fault for drug abuse.

Miss Winnett criticized Gin in her heart. After so many years of hunting, he actually degenerated to the point of using drugs to erase the traces. At the same time, she also criticized herself. Why did she show mercy in the first place? Even if she smashed Kudo Shinichi's head with a stick, Sonoko would not know about it. And maybe, beating Kudo Shinichi to death would be a good deed.

It's so scary to see people dying everywhere you go.

Miss Winnett felt that this strange power had an influence on her.

Even when the organization was busy with the most work, the amount of crosses consumed was far less than what Conan consumed when he took a stroll around Beika Town.

and many more.

Miss Winnett found the blind spot.

No wonder the old pastor often complained to Qian Fantian recently that there were too many funeral businesses.

Could it be that she still has to thank Conan and Kogoro?

At this time, Xiao Ai grabbed Winnet's hand and pinched her palm:

"Why, you don't really want to fight a bear, do you, you silly woman?"

"Maybe."

"Yes, you are indeed capable of doing something stupid like this." She meant, "I don't need you to do something stupid like this to prove anything."

Then, she took Winnet's hand and began to walk slowly through the pine forest, picking up pine cones on the ground, putting them to her nose and sniffing them. Then, with a teasing tone, she moved closer to Winnet and sniffed them.

"Do I smell funny?" Winnet asked.

"It smells nice. Maybe it's the pheromones that attract me."

Then she slipped away from her and joined the mushroom-hunting team, standing next to Ayumi who was pulling the grass, with her hands behind her back.

Only then did Winnet remember that she had completely forgotten her original purpose.

It’s better to pretend to look for it.

……

521 The difficulty is too high. It is recommended to give up.

Yuantai was impatient, and because he couldn't find the matsutake mushrooms, he started yelling and scratching the dust under the moss at the roots of the tree, raising dust and making his face dirty. He kept complaining, causing Ayumi to look back at him; she originally wanted to pick mushrooms.

Fortunately, it wasn't mushrooms, Winnet was thankful in her heart.

"You should know that Matsutake ranks first among autumn foods! Besides, its price is much higher than apples." Yuantai stood up for Matsutake.

However, it is not advisable to criticize one and praise the other.

"Really? But after Adam and Eve took a bite of the apple, God banished them from the Garden of Eden to the human world. This forbidden fruit is the fruit of knowledge that can help you distinguish right from wrong." Ai said intelligently, "Compared to Matsutake, I think it is much more mysterious."

Winnet was happy to hear that, thinking that Xiao Ai was reading the Book of Genesis for her; she stood quietly behind her and looked at her, but there was another pair of eyes watching her.

He was a young boy whose character could be seen through at a glance.

"This is what is said in the Old Testament. Miss Winnet should be very familiar with it," said Dr. Agasa.

Xiao Ai spoke again:

"Being so familiar with her, it's natural to want to know more. Besides, the claim that it is an apple is just folklore."

"It's the forbidden fruit." Winnet came over quietly.

He was tempted by the snake and became wise, and was thus expelled from the Garden of Eden.

This love was like a forbidden fruit to her.

But she was not exiled by anyone, on the contrary, she broke into that wonderful territory.

At this time, some young sheep were coveting her corner.

There is also Edogawa Conan who has the same keen observation ability as Winnet. He is slow to sense subtle emotions, but he can still see that Mitsuhiko is in a daze, so he goes over to talk to him. Mitsuhiko flatly denies that his expression is different, and only says that he is concentrating on looking at her.

"Are you referring to Haibara?" Conan looked right in front of him, and saw Ai talking about Bible stories with Winnet who was bowing.

"Yes! Although Huihara-san speaks in a cold and aloof manner, I find that she is very knowledgeable and her manners are very steady. Don't you think she gives people a very mysterious feeling?"

Conan seemed to have sensed something. Before he could think in that direction, the inexperienced man confessed first. Mitsuhiko said he had no other intentions. After seeing this, Conan sensed the beginning of the flames. He patted Mitsuhiko on the shoulders and said, "Mitsuhiko, listen to me! I don't want to pour cold water on you, but I advise you to give up. Huibara is definitely not someone you can pursue."

Rather than hurt his young heart, Conan decided to nip it in the bud.

However, Mitsuhiko seemed indifferent.

He had already said it very tactfully. After all, Mitsuhiko didn't even have the gender as an entry ticket. He was already sure that Huihara was a complete lesbian, and even took the initiative, firmly standing on the left side of the middle between the two sexes. Even if this tendency could change, it was impossible for him to win over the woman next to her.

Her looks are even better than those of a movie heroine, her family background is that of the daughter of a world-renowned large group, her emotions are that of a traditional religious family, her skills are at the professional level that always surpass Xiaolan, her visual impairment ruins her perfection but makes her even more lovable, not to mention the title of cooking master.

Conan thought that the reason why she was not harassed was because men generally felt inferior to them.
