Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"This is because when a masked performance was cancelled, Kamen Rider and the children agreed to perform again."

"But, it might be Mr. Fujita who did it, right? He secretly received kickbacks from Mr. Hosono, but Mr. Hosono didn't pay him, so he was dissatisfied and killed him, right?"

Otake Wataru directed his criticism at Fujita.

"This is easy. Just look at the feet and you'll know who the murderer is."

Conan spoke again.

"Because it takes a lot of force to blow through the rubber band used for safety. If it's on the inside of the rubber band, the criminal's feet will definitely be burned."

After hearing Conan's analysis, Takagi immediately muttered "Excuse me" and was about to check Otake Wataru's ankle.

"Do not touch me!"

After letting out a scream, Dayue She fell backwards and lay on the sofa.

This is basically an admission of guilt.

Winette took the videotape from the TV, but because it was to be used as evidence, she could not return it to Mizunashi Rena for the time being. She was not interested in the confession of the criminal, so she returned to the previous room and saw Akemi chatting intimately with Mizunashi Rena.

The topic turned to younger brothers and sisters, and it seemed that Rena Mizunashi had a younger brother.

However, maybe it was just a fabrication, in order to have enough topics to talk about with Mingmei. People in the organization like them, who lie all the time, can be called kind.

What made Winette sigh was that Akemi's affinity was so strong that even a character like Rena Mizunashi started to smile and talk endlessly. Her arrival actually ruined the atmosphere.

After Winette explained the situation to the other party, Rena Mizunashi's entourage had already gone to the entrance of another room to wait for the police. Although the police would provide information afterwards, people were most interested not in the case itself, but in the course of the case.

"By the way, Ms. Mizuno, I have a question..."

……

265 Borrow

"Are you participating in any new project? Sorry, I'm a little too curious... because most of your programs are news broadcasts, and you rarely attend entertainment activities."

Winnet looked at Mizunashi Rena with the attitude of a fan, saying "I'm really sorry to bother you."

"No," Mizunashi Rena said, "It's just that a colleague at the station had something urgent to do, so I took over her job, and Nichimi Land is also a branch industry of Nichimi TV... Although it's not good to say this, they probably wanted me to appear on the show to help increase its popularity. A combination like you and Ms. Lin is too rare in Nichimi Land. The main station hopes that more adults will patronize the new projects here."

Winnett said with some regret, "I see. I thought I could still see the programs you set up at the center."

"Recently I have an exclusive interview program with a popular star - I heard she is a mysterious beauty, but I don't know the details yet. I told you in advance, Miss Winnet. Maybe we can meet on TV."

Rena Mizunashi's words stunned Winnett. She almost suspected that her identity had been discovered, and her expression became a little stiff.

"You know me?"

Rena Mizunoshi smiled, her red lips curved into a full arc, and she placed her hands in front of her, facing Winnet.

"As a media person, it is basic to know influential people. Moreover, Miss Winnett, you are different from those wealthy people who are famous for their scandals. You are wholeheartedly supporting charity. I can hear about you in many charity places... When I heard that you are my fan, I was shocked. I thought that I must have known you unilaterally."

Winette thought that Rena Mizunashi might have seen her name in welfare institutions or charity events, most of which were in the name of sponsorship. She stretched out her hand to shake Rena Mizunashi's hand, and felt a burning sensation, so she psychologically felt that she was a little different from the others in the organization, maybe her performance was too deceptive - Rena Mizunashi on TV was brave and kind, while Kiel in the organization should give people a cold and gloomy impression.

Because she still wanted to know the details of the incident, Rena Mizunashi hurriedly said goodbye to Winnet and walked briskly to Officer Megure who had arrested the suspect.

Taking photos is prohibited now. Takagi looked at Mizunashi Rena shyly. At the same time, the Boy Detective Team appeared behind him. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi recognized the popular TV host Mizunashi Rena in an instant.

“Is this big sister famous?”

Only Yuanta, who had eel rice on his mind, didn't recognize her.

"She is a very famous beautiful anchor now!"

Mitsuhiko answered Genta.

Conan next to him still had a speechless expression, thinking, premature love, suicidal behavior, star chasing, what else can't today's kids do.

Rena Mizunashi showed her kindness to the children, leaned down to look at them, and expressed her desire to interview them. Upon hearing the news, Genta got excited and took the lead in performing the Detective Boys' appearance pose that was decided at the entrance of the Beika Museum of Art. The blue wall seemed to have become their stage. At the urging of Genta and Mitsuhiko, "Conan, you should come along too," Conan looked like he had lost all hope in life, completing the last piece of the Detective Boys' pose.

Winnett felt a sense of déjà vu of Team Rocket.

After Mizunashi Rena instructed the photographer behind her, she began to ask questions about the Junior Detective Team incident. Genta and the others also felt that the case could be solved and that they had made an indelible contribution, and they explained the case in a way that half sought credit. Winette and Mingmei stood quietly on one side waiting, and she glanced at Mingmei's snickering with her hands covering her mouth.

"I wish Shiho was as energetic as them when she was little."

Mingmei's sigh did not resonate with Winnet. Although she met the thirteen-year-old Ai at that time, she was much more mature and reliable than an ordinary thirteen-year-old. Perhaps it was a happy thing to be like these children in front of her, but for her, this would make them pass by each other.

Having said that, Ai is now one of them, although she is not here now.

Winette imagined how Mingmei would feel when she found out about this. It would definitely be very interesting, even make her grinning from ear to ear.

"In the future."

Hearing Winnet's reply, Mingmei did not respond. She realized that she was not the only one who had expectations for Shiho, and she was a little self-centered, and became a little depressed. For a while, she stared at Winnet with a dull expression out of the corner of her eye - she must want to meet Shiho more than she did.

Mingmei realized that it was reasonable for Shiho to meet her within the organization, but it was against common sense to meet Winette.

When the interview with the Junior Detective Team came to an end, Mizunashi Rena said that she would follow them to the police station. This matter was related to Nichimi TV, and the decision-makers above also attached great importance to this matter. Mizunashi Rena hoped that it would not bring any bad influence.

So, they were in charge of the children again, but time did not allow them to continue playing - it was already dusk - the day market was about to close. In the evening, Winette called the parents of these children on her mobile phone and told them that she would send them back, but only after dinner.

Winnet spoke hastily and told them that they could tell her whatever they wanted to eat.

“French cuisine!”

“Superior sushi!”

“Eel rice!”

"You guys, stop it!"

Conan couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Come on, not to mention that these are all very expensive things, there is simply no place that sells all of these at the same time, right?"

Winnett thought for a moment and said, "I actually know a place like this, but it's too late today, so how about we just have sushi?"

Winette looked at them and smiled.

"it is good!"

Yuan Tai and the other two said in unison.

Seeing that he could get a free sushi meal, Conan followed obediently.

Winette called the store in advance and made full use of the big brick memo, which contained phone numbers for various purposes. After ordering the food, she also called a car rental service - including the person and the car. Conan, who witnessed this, felt that "although she doesn't look like a lady like Sonoko, she is indeed a lady."

Mingmei saw how well Winnett had arranged everything and her unique state when facing children, and smiled and shrunk her shoulders, as if she had completely relaxed. Dinner was sushi at a nearby hotel. After dinner, Winnett asked the driver to send everyone in the Junior Detective Team home, with Conan at the end - because Beika Gochome was connected to the shopping street, and the direction was different from the others.

After seeing off the great god Conan, Winnet did not ask the driver to take them back, but planned to walk back.

Mingmei rested her hands on the straps of her shoulder bag and said, "Miss Winette must like children to continue to be a pastor, right?"

Winette looked at Mingmei strangely and replied, "I can't say I like them. To me, they are like some strange creatures. I don't understand what they are thinking at all. It's as if we are not actually the same species. I often have this feeling when I get along with them."

Mingmei tilted her head and said, "But I think your attitude towards them has obviously changed a lot."

"This is the same conclusion as what psychologists have concluded. People always like to be kind to strangers rather than to the people around them... However, when I was in the church, I hated children very much. You never knew how they would desecrate the altar. Although it no longer exists, their mischief would make people angry and want to hang them up and spank their buttocks hard, just like the nun slapped my palm with a ruler."

"I find it hard to imagine Miss Winnet being punished."

"Ah, this is related to the level of requirements. Sister Alyssa, who is responsible for taking care of me, has very strict requirements, and I am completely 'unmotivated'. At least everything I do is just for show and then muddle through. I think the stupidest question is 'what is the goal', but it is indeed difficult to move forward without a goal, so the existence of God is necessary. Even if you are not pious enough, the rules will push you forward from behind, just like most of the time in life, you have to accept it, you also understand this, right? I was wrong - you shouldn't keep thinking about these things. If you are still brooding over the organization, Shirley... everything Shiho has done will be in vain. She hopes to see you devote yourself to ordinary life. This is what she must think."

As she spoke, Winette turned around and looked at Mingmei, waiting for Mingmei's figure to be parallel to hers.

Mingmei blinked, and her ice-blue eyes seemed to spread a sense of calmness.

"I know."

"That's good."

Mingmei smiled again, and stretched out her arm as if jokingly, then put Winette's arm in and held it, "Then today, I will borrow Miss Winette from Shiho."

After standing close to Winnet, Mingmei smiled at Winnet again.

This made Winnett look a little embarrassed, but Mingmei's eyes were very innocent. She gradually accepted this way of action, and she could naturally hold hands - then she suddenly remembered that neither she nor Shirley had done this before. However, she could hardly imagine that Xiao Ai, who always had a cold face, would take the initiative to do this. The possibility of this happening was even lower than the probability of Mount Kilimanjaro erupting.

Along the way, they held hands and only separated when crossing the road. When they were close to Beika-cho Ni-machime, Winette felt a little frightened, and was always worried that the current situation would be seen by Ai. If she was seen, she really didn't know how to explain it. If she was considered to have a special relationship with Sister Mingmei, she would not be able to clear herself even if she jumped into Tokyo Bay.

Fortunately, there was no incident of encountering the Doctor and Ai, and they arrived at the front yard safely.

“Today is a really happy day.”

Mingmei said as she hung her parasol on the hook of the coat rack and took off her brown leather gloves for protection from the cold.

She took off her shoes and walked across the hallway like a tired office girl after a long day, then made eye contact with Winnet.

Xianxun: The memory of the spirit of the mortar ③ Qiba

Winnet rubbed her shoulders and nodded "yeah".

If she hadn't encountered the case, Conan, and Rena Mizunashi, she might have thought so.

"What a perfunctory reply!"

"I think you should bring someone else with you next time. Besides, aquariums and movie theaters are probably more attractive to ordinary people than Kamen Rider."

"But I'm not Miyano Akemi now, so I don't have that kind of partner..."

Mingmei deliberately made a helpless expression.

Winette said as she took off her coat, "This is what it's like to start over. You have to be able to endure the loneliness at the beginning."

"That makes you sound like someone who has experienced this, Miss Winnet."

In a way, she did experience it more than once.

"Just take it as it is. Doesn't it mean that I understand your situation better?"

"Eh!" Mingmei blinked in surprise, "This is really not something you would say, Miss Winnet."

"Why, does it sound like a man paying attention to a lady?"

"It's a lady to a lady," Mingmei said with a smile, "The impression you give me now is completely different from when we first met."

Winnett didn't dwell on this too much because she didn't care about other people's impressions and opinions, unless it was for a special purpose. After all, there was no systematic evaluation standard. Even the opinions about herself were full of bias. Although it was said that the way others saw her was the most real, she didn't think so.

She said, "I'm going to take a shower..."

“Is this an invitation?”

Mingmei made a joke.

"I mean, you can come first."

Winette noticed that Mingmei's palms were sweating a lot and the temperature in the afternoon was a little higher than expected.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry." Mingmei said, "I just want to deal with the ingredients. If I make it for myself, I will think, 'It would be nice if I could make dinner myself - it would be nice if I could make everything myself', but if I make it for sharing, I will enjoy the process, and similarly, taking a bath is also an enjoyable process."

Winette felt that Mingmei's words were a hint that she took a very short shower.

"you're right."

Winnett made all the preparations and cleaned up thoroughly. When she came out with a towel wrapped around her hair, she heard the phonograph playing the Beatles' songs, which sounded beautiful. Winnett went to bed earlier than usual. What happened in the past two days and today made her feel a new change. The next morning, Winnett put away a basket of clothes to be washed. When she came to the living room, she saw Mingmei shelling peas and reading a pocket book in her other hand. The words "Spring and Ashura" could be vaguely seen on the cover.

"English baked beans, what do you think?"

“It’s nostalgic, it’s good.”

They looked at each other in tacit understanding, as if they were a new family. Winnet came to the yard and looked through the mailbox. There was a new letter inside.

Winnet turned the letter over and glanced at the sender. "It's Ayako..."

……

266 read as date?

It was more of an invitation than a letter, in which Suzuki Ayako invited her to attend a party at the Suzuki family's villa.

This was a regular gathering of the film research club during Ayako's college years. She was invited last year because they met on a ship five years ago. That shoot was the first achievement of the club, and it was commemorative. She, as a guest actor, also became one of the stakeholders. However, Winette did not attend last year because she was carrying out a mission for the organization. The suicide of Atsuko Kamikawa, one of the six members, two years ago also cast a shadow on the gathering.

"If I refuse again, it will feel a bit alienated."

Winette muttered to herself, then turned her head to look back into the house, wondering whether she should take Mingmei with her.

On the letter, Ayako specially noted that friends are welcome to come along. She felt that Ayako should be aware that there was a gap between the five people because of Atsuko's suicide, and she wanted more people to liven up the atmosphere and forget the unpleasantness.

In terms of her mood, she would rather go with Ai, but it is rare for Dr. Agasa to travel as far as he did last time - Ai said that he is a scientist who stays at home and lacks exercise.

"It's better to ask."

Winette went back upstairs, turned on her computer, and sent an email to Ai. Then she went downstairs to help Mingmei shell peas.

As she got closer, Winette also saw the words on the spine of the book: "Written by Kenji Miyazawa."
