Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Jiu Yi Si Jiu Ling San Qi Ba Jiu

Hattori is not the type to care about such a small matter.

"It's okay, just consider it my apology to you. But it's already this late, and you may not have time to return to Tokyo after arriving in Osaka."

"Well, that's okay," Winnett replied. "I can find a hotel to stay in."

"Why don't you stay at my house?"

"Don't do that. I don't want to explain all kinds of misunderstandings."

Hattori thought about it for a moment, if Winnett was caught by her childhood friend Toyama Kazuha who entered her room without saying hello, there would be a commotion at home. Even at school, Kazuha would make a fuss about any rumors.

Yes, if I really brought this beautiful foreign lady home, my mother might chase her with a camera.

Hattori immediately gave up the idea.

Winette and Hattori walked side by side, half a meter apart. She went to Osaka for the sake of a Chinese liquor store in Osaka. It was not easy to buy the authentic "Bai Gan Er" that Hattori gave as a gift. At that time, there was a small amount of Chinese liquor circulating on the market, and it was impossible to determine whether it was authentic. The stores selling Chinese liquor were basically located in Osaka and Kyoto. She was not very familiar with these two places.

As for Osaka, she had been there once, but it was to kill someone, so she naturally had no chance to enjoy the scenery or buy local specialties. There happened to be a "native" next to her, and it would be a waste if she didn't make good use of him. She followed Hattori to the airport and booked a flight to Osaka. The journey took about an hour and a half, plus the waiting time on the plane, so the one-way trip took two hours. It was already past six in the evening, so she really had to consider staying overnight in Osaka.

During the ride, Hattori kept asking her about Kudo Shinichi.

Winnett wanted Hattori to lead the way, so she answered a few of his questions casually. When it came to some sensitive topics, such as "Sure enough, that uncle solved the case through Kudo", "Did Kudo Shinichi reveal the reason why he hid", etc., she did not answer, but she knew everything about small topics such as birthdays.

"Oh, you know a lot." Hattori smiled and teased, "You are not really interested in Kudo Shinichi."

Miss Winnett felt insulted.

Even if Kudo Shinichi changed his gender to a girl, he would definitely not be her type. The reason why she knew Kudo Shinichi so well was because when Xiaolan was practicing knitting with her, she would talk about him whenever she had free time. Although he vehemently denied that he was "infatuated with him", anyone with a slightly blind eye could see how deeply this girl loved him.

"How is that possible? I've been listening to Xiaolan so many times that my ears are almost callused." Winette shrugged. "As a pastor, the most important thing is to listen. Otherwise, I would have complained a long time ago. What's so good about a narcissistic, cocky 17-year-old high school kid?"

Hattori felt Winnet's gaze and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, you're not making a veiled accusation, are you?"

Hattori stared at Winnet's deep purple eyes and felt that they seemed to be dancing. Although she was not smiling, she seemed to be smiling a little. Since they booked tickets together, their seats were close to each other, so he could understand how slender her waist was. Sensing the so-called feminine charm, he moved his hips slightly and adjusted his attitude a little. He thought, she is not much "older" than Kazuha, so why is her charm so different?

"I don't mean that, but you care about him more than Xiaolan does. Could that be you?"

Winette placed her left hand on her right cheek.

This is a gesture she learned in a bar in Japan, and it means the same thing.

"Are you really a priest?" Hattori was a little surprised. Isn't it a sin in God's eyes? "There is an old saying in the Central Kingdom, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' In order to defeat Kudo, I have to know him better. Besides, don't you think that a guy who is similar to you, or even stronger than you, is like a soulmate?"

Miss Winnett said that was not the case at all.

She had never seen anyone in this world who was as strong as her or stronger than her. No matter how strong she was, could she withstand a whole load of 357 Magnum bullets?

Miss Winnett is very good at opening holes.

After getting off the plane, Miss Winnett asked for Hattori Heiji's contact information. During the conversation, Hattori agreed to accompany her to the Chinese store, and the time was scheduled for tomorrow morning. Winnett found a hotel not far from the location described by Hattori to stay in. At night, wearing fluffy pajamas, holding a high-foot glass, sitting in the bathtub to enjoy the night view, Miss Winnett finally realized the beauty that Vermouth always talked about. However, she was covered with wounds and could only soak for a few minutes at most, and her hands were always kept outside.

The life of rich people is so decadent!

Miss Winnet cannot be easily corrupted by these evils!

Tonight only!

Meimei was lying on the bed, and she finally thought of calling Mingmei to tell her that she would not go home tonight. Mingmei implicitly expressed her temptation of "whether she had cheated on me", and Miss Winette solemnly swore her innocence.

"I was just kidding." Mingmei said with a smile, "Xiaolan just called and said that Conan has been sleeping since he got home, but his fever has completely subsided."

"This kind of joke is not worth taking, especially..."

Winette originally wanted to say "in front of Shiho", but considering that the sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, she instead talked about what she saw and heard today - a cut-off version.

"Maybe you'll be interested, Akemi. A live showdown between high school detectives from the East and the West. I remember Shiho said you were following the news about Kudo Shinichi."

"That was to find a partner for Shiho, but at that time, Shiho had already captured Miss Winnett. I was so stupid that I kept worrying about her emotional problems... You see, friends around me always say that family environment determines a person's view of love, right? During that time, I was worried that Shiho would be deceived by someone with bad intentions - because she was in the organization."

Bad intentions...

The word pierced Winnet's heart like an arrow.

From an objective point of view, she actually had bad intentions towards Ai.

Miss Winnet laughed it off, giving up on going deeper into the topic, and exchanged pleasantries from multiple angles about life before hanging up the phone with Mingmei. She hugged the soft pillow of the hotel, wanting to chat with Xiaoai for a long time on the phone, and then moved her body like a crawling earthworm, buried her head under the pillow, and hesitated for a long time while grabbing her hair. Seeing that the clock had passed ten o'clock in the evening, she deceived herself that it was time for the good child to go to bed, and she would give it to Xiaoai after getting the wine, and then talk again.

She tossed and turned in bed, her mind full of what happened today. Kudo's enlargement and shrinkage gave her a considerable shock, which meant that the antidote might really be developed successfully, and Xiao Ai had a chance to turn back into Shirley. But she couldn't guess what Xiao Ai would choose, whether to continue like this or turn back into Shirley. These two choices had an absolute difference in their situation, like pulling the trigger or not.

"My opinion, what is it? Do I think this is better?"

There are orange devils and golden angels floating above his head.

Orange Devil: "Of course it's better to change back! Keep a beautiful girl in a golden house, and live a shameless life with Shirley from now on!"

Golden Angel: "But she will lose her freedom, or she will live a life of wandering and fear."

Well, there is another option, destroying the organization, but this is almost impossible! In her eyes, the power of the organization is increasing like chips in a gambling game. Every once in a while, new weights are placed on the table, and no one knows its specific size. It's the same for her. Even if she is careful, she can't completely leave society. Winnett thought of Vermouth's disguise with nervousness. If she used this skill on others, everyone she and Shirley came into contact with - passers-by, waiters, restaurant owners, neighbors. Anyone could be a member of the organization coming to kill them.

No, they can even dress up as another Wynette or Shirley.

As a result, she had no confidence in guaranteeing Shirley's safety.

"Don't think about it. You are not a sentimental girl anymore..."

Winnet forced herself to sleep with her cheek tilted. This skill kept her from being exhausted during training. The next morning, she received a message from Clyde. The organization began to take action. The people on the list she recited died one after another like dominoes in motion. She ordered breakfast, and the waitress with sharp eyes came and kindly prepared a knife and fork for her - unfortunately Winnet was not a "pure" European. At about 8:30 in the morning, Winnet called Hattori and arranged to meet at the street corner in front of the hotel.

At nine o'clock, Winnet appeared there, but she saw Hattori Heiji and a girl with him. The two of them were openly quarreling on the street, like a couple flirting. Perhaps her invitation ruined their original weekend date plan! Winnet understood. If Hattori had made it clear earlier, she would have gone alone, at most it would have taken a little more time.

"Sorry, sorry! Have you been waiting for a long time? This guy kept clamoring to come with me, so I was delayed on the road for quite a while... By the way, I forgot to ask, what exactly did you want to buy in the Chinese store?"

Hattori gave Winnett an apologetic look.

Before Winnet could answer, the girl, whose head was being pressed down by Hattori, finally clasped her hands together and acted as if she was angry.

I was misunderstood! Winnet sighed. She had no interest in getting involved in their relationship. These girls who grew up in a greenhouse were really like that. They couldn't even tell who they were jealous of. Unlike my little Ai - uh, wait. Does little Ai also get jealous all the time? Miss Winnet was in heart failure. She was about to explain -

"Hey, are you the woman named Kudo?"

"what?"

Winette was dumbfounded.

"You don't have to keep pretending. He has been repeating your name since he came back yesterday. You are the woman named Kudo that Heiji met in Tokyo, right?"

Uh……

Miss Winnet was suddenly speechless.

This kid is a little bit stupid.

"Do not……"

"I'm telling you. Heiji and I have been good friends bound together with iron chains since a long time ago! If you want to do anything to Heiji, you have to get past me first!"

The girl raised her fist and spoke to Winnet in a semi-threatening manner.

Miss Winnet's embarrassment cancer had become extremely serious, and she looked at Hattori Heiji for help.

What are iron chains? Are the trafficked people tied together with iron chains?

"Hahahaha! Hahaha...He Ye, what nonsense are you talking about? No matter how you look at it, Miss Winnet is a European!" Hattori Heiji laughed while holding his stomach.

"But she might have given herself a Japanese name..."

"No, no, she's not Kudo! Miss Winnett and I were at the crime scene together. On the way back, she wanted me to take her to the Chinese store. She probably wanted to buy something."

"Uh..." Yuanshan and Ye were stunned for a moment, "But there is no need to ask you, Heiji, to buy things, right?"

Yuanshan and Ye remained vigilant.

"Ah, I didn't think it through." To prevent the misunderstanding from continuing, Winnet said, "A time like the weekend is the time for couples to go out and have fun. I didn't expect that I would interfere with you."

"Boyfriend, boyfriend?" Yuanshan Heye shook her head quickly. "I, I, Heiji are not in that kind of relationship... If I must say, I am the kind of big sister who always takes care of him. That's the kind of relationship!"

Winette: Do I look like a fool?

……

295 My dear sister Winette

Yuanshan Heye still couldn't let go of her worries. The woman in front of her was different from the girls in school. The feminine part of her was challenged. She thought Winnet was like the protagonist in an old foreign movie. She exuded a quiet and virtuous demeanor, a calm personality and pleasant speech, which made her feel that Winnet was a well-educated and noble person. The key, the bad thing was that this woman was too beautiful. Her slender figure and the gauze on her face made her look weak and charming, making her attractive to the opposite sex to an incredible degree.

Comparing this woman with herself only highlights her own dullness and mediocrity! Yuanshan Heye clenched her fists. How could she cheer up the enemy? She should at least be more lively and cheerful than this woman!

"Yeah, Kazuha and I are not in that kind of relationship." Hattori denied it and came to Winnet's side, "Well, let's go. By the way, you haven't told me yet, what are you going to buy?"

Winnet's headache worsened.

It seems that the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan is not an isolated case. It is another childhood sweetheart who has a deep relationship but never breaks the window paper. She felt the needle-like gaze of Kazuha on her back, and her forbearance came from the killer's instinct. She pondered how to make Kazuha clear up the misunderstanding, as if the annoying things about other people's emotions were far more consuming for her than an organization's actions.

In Heye's eyes, this journey was not as smooth as Hattori's. She glimpsed Hattori and Winnet side by side in the corner of her vision. In just a few minutes, she seemed to run down the hill, across the river, across the swamp valley, and climbed up a new hill - she didn't know when she would be able to enter Hattori's heart. At this moment, the whole meaning of her appearance here was to stop Hattori from going to Winnet's white cylindrical house, which she guessed.

"You got the 'Bai Gan Er' from the detective agency last time. One of my elders likes Chinese liquor very much, and his birthday is coming soon, so I want to buy some as a gift."

Winnet explained that she could send someone to buy it, but the changes in Kudo Shinichi's size could not leave her mind, so she decided to come here in person and contact Ai secretly.

After all, in the eyes of Dr. Agasa and Conan, she still didn't know that Ai was Miyano Shiho. But since Conan has been exposed, it would be abnormal not to doubt Ai. When everything is exposed, she can take Ai and Mingmei to meet, and no longer have to experience the anxiety of being caught in the middle. During this period of time, Winette also realized that Mingmei is not an impulsive person. Mingmei wanted to ask her about Ai several times, but in the end she hid it in the back wall of her heart.

It seems a bit strange now. When she knew that Xiao Ai had turned into a child, why didn't she think it was a good thing to make the truth public? Whether it was Mingmei or Conan, she regarded them as unstable factors. It was not until this period of contact, Mingmei's separation and Conan's protection of Xiaolan that she began to trust them. Is it so difficult for her to trust someone?

Which is more trustworthy, intuition or reason?

"It seems that I brought the right gift."

Hattori sighed, then turned his attention to Kazuha: "Kazuha, what's wrong with you? You're suddenly depressed again."

"Nothing, the sandwich this morning wasn't my favorite flavor."

"You are such a troublesome woman!"

"What's your attitude?"

Winnet already wanted to touch her forehead. To break this deadlock, someone must take the initiative to propose love. To be honest, Winnet felt unfamiliar with this slow rhythm of love. It felt like those songs and poems praising youth, extremely distant - she rarely read them. Even if they really couldn't express their feelings for some reason, in Europe or the United States, people were good at expressing love with their eyes. Hazy but not distant, staring with an eager and sad expression, she had felt it from Xiaoai. Rather than being at a loss, she knew better that she loved her.

Why didn't she explain it to him? This is something Winnett couldn't understand. If Kudo Shinichi was hindered by Conan's identity, what was the reason for this pair? Winnett had no interest in becoming a love consultation instructor, and this time she was really shooting herself in the foot.

Miss Winnett decided to add fuel to the fire. She smiled and fumbled in her pocket, pulling out a business card.

Yes, a calling card for pastoral status.

"Well, Ms. Toyama, please accept this." Winette handed the business card to Kazuha and smiled, "If you two decide to get married after graduation, I can preside over the wedding. However, Tokyo is a bit far away, I can also discuss it with the church in Osaka. Or do you two prefer a traditional Japanese wedding?"

In Japan, which has experienced the black ships and been influenced by Western culture for many years, most wedding ceremonies tend to be Western-style. It’s not that it’s so good, but it’s the trend, and it has a deeper impact on young people.

As soon as Winnett said this, both of them blushed and said in unison -

"what are you talking about!?"

"Who wants to marry this guy!?"

Immediately, the two men pointed their spears at each other again.

"What do you mean!?"

"Humph!"

The two of them turned their heads away and didn't look at each other.

Winnet thought that the two of them were the perfect match for each other, and that they were the perfect couple. Although she said that, she still saw He Ye put the business card in her pocket.

She is a classic tsundere. She is not tall, but her movements are very smooth. She must have practiced dancing or martial arts. She has a thin waist and sharp features but a pretty face. It can be seen that the harsh side she shows is fake. She glances at Hattori from time to time, like a child who is just beginning to fall in love. A ten-year-old child in the United States can probably express his emotions better than her. The black ponytail trembles, showing her youth and liveliness. Her eyes are full of the carefree spirit of young people, which shows that she will not worry about abstract problems. She probably only thinks about simple and practical things, such as whether her lover has an affair with someone else. Her obviously curved eyebrows and straight nose make her look a little belligerent.

This state of cold war lasted for about five minutes, and Miss Winnet was glad that she had escaped from the state of being caught in the middle. She entered the Chinese store in Osaka. The plaque was red and the words on it were written in regular script. The business situation in the store was a bit quiet. Hattori followed Winnet into the door. Before he could greet the boss as a regular customer, Winnet asked the store owner in fluent Chinese.

"Excuse me, do you have any 'Lao Bai Gan'?"

The shop clerk was stunned for a moment when he heard a European speaking authentic Chinese in a Japanese store.

"Oh, of course!"

Hattori opened his mouth slightly. It was okay that Winette spoke Japanese well, after all, she might have lived in Japan for quite a while, but it was incredible that she was also proficient in Chinese. He only knew a few Chinese characters, and that was when he was actively learning them, and he ignored the differences between Japanese characters and Chinese.

"What a surprise! The skills you demonstrated in front of Teitan High School last time already amazed me. I never thought you could speak Chinese so fluently. Could it be that you used Chinese Kung Fu last time?" Hattori cleverly imitated Bruce Lee's moves. "Winette, how about teaching me a few moves when you have time?"

"No," Winette replied awkwardly. She just raised her umbrella. This guy was really sharp. "I don't know Kung Fu. Besides, compared with practical fighting skills, even if you practice Kung Fu for ten years, you may not be able to defeat them."

"really?"

Hattori Heiji felt that this was just an excuse that Winnet didn't want to show.
