Kogoro touched the back of his head and uttered several onomatopeia, trying to get around the matter.

"I'm sorry, but even the most capable person can stumble...hahaha."

Conan complained in his mind: Hey, this is simply misattributing things and confusing right and wrong.

Just when he thought the matter was over, he suddenly heard Moriya Teiji's dull laughter. Conan frowned. Ever since he was arrested, Moriya Teiji had been unnaturally calm.

"If you think that's all, you're totally wrong. Because the building I plan to destroy... there's another one."

Conan turned around immediately after hearing what Moritani Teiji said.

He searched through the paintings of the works, and finally his eyes landed on a building. When Moriya Tei was in his twenties or thirties, the painting closest to the destroyed building was -

Could it be that!

Conan broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes widened. At this moment, the hunter and the prey switched places.

"Rice Flower City Hall!"

How is it possible! Isn't there perfect symmetry there too? Conan stared at the painting, hoping that his judgment was wrong, but his hope was destroyed by Moriya Teiji in an instant.

"Saying that there is not enough construction funds due to the collapse of the bubble economy is ridiculous! That is the most unsuccessful work of my life! You people don't understand my aesthetics at all! Well, there is one minute left until ten o'clock..."

Declaring this with an emotion that was even more irritating than being teased by Kudo Shinichi, Moriya Teiji stood where he was, quietly observing Conan who was anxiously snatching the phone.

……

"You are quite busy."

After Xiao Ai walked out of the cloakroom, she didn't see Winnet. She walked out of the semi-open store and saw her put down her phone.

For Xiao Ai, who learned that Winnet was placed by the organization, Winnet almost never avoided making special phone calls during the time she spent with her.

It was quite unusual to receive a call at such a late hour.

If it was her sister calling, there would be no need to find a secluded place.

"Well, there is a situation."

"So are we going back? If it's something over there, it's more urgent. I don't want them to focus on you because of your passiveness."

Although it’s a bit unpleasant to be interrupted in the middle of a date, it’s still better to put organization first.

When it comes to things that concern her, Winnet is surprisingly sentimental.

After all, Winnett wasn't the type to hold pretty little flowers in her hands.

"I may have to leave for a while, but not now. If such an important moment is ruined by some trivial matter, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Really? Then your life is too cheap. Can you buy it with this?"

Ai pulled a crumpled coupon out of her pocket.

It's printed with the cake shop's crystal grass print.

"Could it be..."

"I confiscated it from the Doctor."

I knew it was like this...

Winnett prayed silently for the doctor for half a second and came to the corresponding half-open cake shop.

Although it is past tea time, as the saying goes, dessert is in another stomach. Ai is a child now, even thinner than her adult form, so it would be good for her to eat more sweets.

"Are you stupid?"

Ai looked at the cute pink strawberry cake in front of her and sighed.

"You definitely, are you treating me like a child again?"

"Is the cake with blueberry jam better, or the one with bitter coffee flavor? But isn't it a little weird for the two of us to eat that kind of cake?"

"That's true."

Xiao Ai agreed helplessly, saying that if it was a real child, like Ayumi, she would definitely not be able to stand the cake with bitter coffee.

She watched Winnet cut a small piece of the round cake and placed it in front of her.

Are you planning to eat all the leftovers?

If it is an ordinary girl, she can maliciously ask the other person to wait for the result of getting fat.

But Winnet is really an anomaly.

"You will definitely get fat after you turn 30. Otherwise, wouldn't this world be unjust?"

Xiao Ai murmured softly.

Winnett put her fork to the edge of her lips a little embarrassedly.

"You have to eat the strawberries first! If you eat them later, you won't be able to taste the sweetness of the strawberries."

Seeing that Xiao Ai didn't move for a long time, Winnet said with a little pride.

——As expected, since you love sweets, you also love strawberry cake.

What innate girlishness... Ai feels that the vase role in the film was tailor-made for Winnet.

It's not an exaggeration. After sitting here, Xiao Ai clearly felt the gazes from all directions. It couldn't be that the little girl was the one who attracted the attention.

"It's almost time to go back."

Xiao Ai glanced at the clock in the main hall of the mall and saw that the hands had already passed nine o'clock.

"Hey! It would be nice if you could stay overnight."

"Staying overnight, definitely not. My sister is a caring person. If I come to your house, she will definitely hang around me and think, 'She looks exactly like Shiho when she was a child.' After all, mixed-bloods do have their own unique looks. Well... not as good as you."

Winnett pointed at herself and tilted her head. It seemed that...she herself was also mixed-race?

I saw Winnet pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiao Ai widened her eyes slightly.

"You're not... planning to stay in a hotel, are you?"

Novel qun9 five 0 eight nine

"Uh……"

"Let's just... forget it again."

When it comes to this topic, a lot of colorful content can't help but emerge in my mind.

Considering the actual situation, it is better to quickly put this idea aside.

"Then I'll let Clyde take you back."

Then where are you going?

phone.

Got organizational stuff that needs to be taken care of?

Since there is still enough time to sleep at night, it means that it won’t take too long to be resolved.

Do you want to ask?

It's not an attempt to intervene, nor is it an attempt to act together with Winnet.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Xiao Ai's serious look and not asking about the organization, Winnett said directly: "A traitor from the organization is coming to this building."

"That's it..."

——What date? It’s just a side job and we’re planning to eliminate the traitor.

"This is just an emergency." Winnett was afraid that Xiao Ai would misunderstand, so she explained, "The guy who was avoiding us suddenly came here. Maybe he wants to meet someone."

Frankly speaking, this was a little beyond her expectations. Even if she had to choose a busy and inconspicuous location, the Rice Flower Municipal Building was not a good choice.

Besides, at this time...

Wasn't the person who asked him to meet someone from the Japanese Public Security Bureau?

In short, she had to be prepared to be tracked.

"I don't expect you to explain it clearly. I just want to ask a question - is it dangerous?"

"The target is just an ordinary person, and he's a coward. Maybe even your Junior Detective Team can easily subdue him."

Xiao Ai thought about the "heroic experiences" of the Junior Detective Team. Almost every time, it was Edogawa and her who came to the rescue. Moreover, Edogawa was equipped with equipment made by the doctor, and his skills barely reached the level of an athlete. Anyone who was targeted by his anesthetic needle, unless they were professionals, would basically fall to the ground.

If it were just that, Winnet would surely be able to handle it easily.

However, if we keep the other party and want to track his whereabouts...

It seems that the target also has someone in contact with this person.

There will probably be a big fight.

A bit of a headache.

After all, this is a busy place. If a gunfight breaks out, it will inevitably cause casualties among the people.

"By the way, isn't that girl also in this building? If it's a movie theater, it should be on the fifth floor, right?"

"Xiaolan..."

Winette recalled the joy on her face when she had just finished making the sweater.

Maybe today is the decisive day for confession. Unfortunately, the person Xiaolan loves is unlikely to be there. After all, it is impossible for Kudo Shinichi to meet her as a child.

"Then do you want to go to the movies with her?"

"Don't be ridiculous. I don't have the intention of being a light bulb."

"But he can't be there?"

"That's true, you poor 'heartless man'. Speaking of which, it's about time you handed over the information about the medicine to me, right?"

If there is information, the development of the antidote can be put on the agenda soon.

"Hey, do you want to help him?"

“It’s also to help myself.”

It was inconvenient to become smaller, in every sense. Although she couldn't change back until the organization gave up trying to capture Shirley.

"By the way, didn't Conan follow the police to Moritani Teiji's house? Maybe he was planning to stand Xiaolan up from the beginning and watch "The Legend of the Red Thread" alone, but the red thread was broken. Isn't it very sad..."

Just saying this made Winnet feel sorry for her.

"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten that you can disguise yourself. Since you sympathize with her so much, why not dress up as Kudo Shinichi and go on a date with her? After all, you're better at pleasing women than that cocky high school kid, aren't you?"

Winnet's mouth grew into a zero shape.

This is not right!

At least you should say this in a sour way!

"But how do I explain it to him now? There is another Kudo Shinichi in the world."

"I'm just telling you, do you really want to go?"

Xiao Ai had a fierce look on her face.

"Uh……"

Miss Winnet felt aggrieved. It was you who asked me to go.

"You'd better solve that trouble quickly. I'll wait for you at the cinema on the fifth floor. If anything goes wrong, you can still help that kind girl."

"It's going to be okay!"

Just as Winnett finished speaking, the phone in her arms rang again.

She exchanged glances with Xiao Ai who was about to leave, and came to the side window. With Clyde's reminder, she quickly confirmed the location of the target vehicle.

"I don't have time to dress up, so this is a little troublesome."

Winnett quickly returned to the entrance to the first floor. She pretended to be waiting for someone and sat in the waiting area very close to the entrance. The elevator was less than twenty meters away from her.

She remembered Kousuke Kamikura's appearance early on. The difference from the photo was that the suit he wore when facing clients was replaced with a somewhat worn dark gray youth jacket, and he wore a baseball cap on his head.

Clyde also explained the information about clothing.
