Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"Maybe he did it on purpose?" For the first time, Winnett felt that her psychological analysis was useless. "If it wasn't intentional, don't you think he's a little too exaggerated, Ai?"

Old things and a few Lingjiulong stables

"That's what it means to be obsessed and lustful." Xiao Ai commented sharply.

When she said this, Kisaki Eri had already said goodbye to Xiaolan and the others, leaving Xiaolan looking at Kogoro with resentment and sighing with Conan.

Xiao Ai put down her fork, wiped her hands with the napkin, and said, "Let's go back too. If you get drunk and pass out, my sister and I won't be able to move you. Besides, although you look peaceful when you sleep, if you are touched, you will fight back like a robot, and you might end up in the hospital. In this case, it's really dangerous to be your bedmate."

What pillow person?

Winnet was embarrassed. The so-called "automatic counterattack" was actually carried out in a sober state, not an accurate conditioned reflex. However, it didn't make sense to move it out now. The two sisters thought she was drunk. Mingmei volunteered to drive, and after Xiaolan and the others left for a while, they followed them back to their residence. Staying in the closed environment of the car made Winnet feel a little hot. On the other hand, Xiaoai - her body had shrunk and she was a little tired, her eyes were like a baby's and could hardly open. Even so, she was always paying attention to Winnet's condition. When she looked at her, she gently touched her forehead with her hand.

"Well, you look like you have a fever." Xiao Ai withdrew her hand. Winnet's forehead was just warm, not hot.

Winnett felt surprisingly calm and spoke quickly: "It was a bit of an allergic reaction, as you concluded before, actually. I wasn't drunk at all, right? You know that too."

"That sounds like an excuse. But, I'm very happy today."

"Really? Our table isn't as lively as theirs. We made inappropriate arrangements in an inappropriate place. I'm a little sorry Mingmei, but this is what I thought just now."

Xiao Ai said bluntly that it was not appropriate. Mingmei complained a few words, and then she immediately laughed. From beginning to end, the two sisters were bickering, talking about each other's embarrassing things. Mingmei told her that Xiao Ai was just complaining about her unauthorized actions. After the car was turned off and they returned to the residence, Xiao Ai did not go directly to the doctor's house, but stayed at Winnet's place for a while. She prepared tea for Winnet to soothe the alcohol; it was steaming, and Winnet saw the blurry reflection, thinking that she might be thinking about that kind of thing. Her heart was beating wildly, maintaining an indescribable excitement, and the slightly shaking surface of the tea seemed to be floating with dark green mist.

"Winette, you seem to be worried," Xiao Ai looked at her in a daze, "What are you thinking about?"

Winnet blew on the dark green tea and pretended to be dizzy and replied, "I think maybe I am really a little drunk. The bartender said it was just a low-alcohol drink, but it seemed like there was a raging fire burning on the surface of the tea."

Xiao Ai didn't like what he heard, "Oh, do you want me to help you release it?"

"You misunderstood, that's not what I meant... If it was, I wouldn't let you help me now, except for kissing."

That being said, Winnet only dared to kiss places other than the lips. If it were the original Shirley, she might be a little bolder and kiss her chest or other places. But with Ai, Winnet was not eager to do so. For her, the physical desire was not that intense.

"It smells like alcohol, and a little bit of aroma..." Xiao Ai said, "I don't know where my sister went. She said she went to a convenience store. Did she develop a new hobby of shopping at night? If she did it on purpose, then she must have thought about it more than us."

Mingmei doesn't have such habits. She tries not to go out at night. Because she wants to hide her identity and not attract attention. Winette didn't explain these, but mentioned the helicopter incident. She found that people like to talk a lot after drinking. He described Hiroki, who happened to meet, as a complete villain with a disdainful tone, calling him "a self-righteous young man with two stinky money" who was just played by a woman. She said that people who are promiscuous will eventually be hurt by their feelings, and at the same time looked at Xiaoai with a cautious look. This made Xiaoai feel that she couldn't stay like this, and she should do something, which is better than continuing to maintain this ambiguous atmosphere that makes people crazy.

Perhaps an antidote is the most practical.

Obviously, Bai Gan'er, the protagonist of the last Kudo Shinichi recovery incident, has not yet provided the key to the antidote. And now, she also drank alcohol, but did not feel any discomfort. Maybe the cold is the key. If she caught a cold, Winnet would only think about taking care of her. All kinds of thoughts were derived from her head. When she was talking, she and Winnet were almost face to face. Therefore, Winnet leaned on the sofa with her hands and stared at her like a cat... There was a little sense of deterrence, only a little, and more of it was cute. Xiao Ai suddenly had a thought, thinking, just push her down like this, do anything... She will definitely not refuse.

……

333 Poker

Xiao Ai swallowed her saliva, crossed her arms and leaned on the sofa, "Don't stare at me like that, or do you actually have that kind of fetish?"

"Well, I didn't say anything like that!"

"But your expression is telling me that I have already started researching the antidote, and it will be soon! Well, maybe not that soon, but I believe I can succeed! Also, I don't like you dressing up like this. I hate people complimenting me, and I hate people who compliment you, stare at you, and tell you how beautiful you are even more. I just want you to belong to me and I hope you only have me in your heart."

She whispered.

Winnett didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or shyness, but even the tip of her nose turned slightly red. Winnett whispered, "I only love you," and squeezed Xiao Ai's hand, with a light flickering in her slightly dim pupils. Winnett rarely mentioned the word "love." Xiao Ai pinched Winnett's cheek and said, "Don't cry."

These were tears of joy, Winnet explained, as Ai rarely expressed her emotions so directly. Winnet placed the back of her hand on her forehead, wondering if today could be considered a successful day, had she succeeded in getting Ai to say that she loved her? She felt as active as radiating metal, and nothing could move her more than a sincere word, and the excitement was eventually smoothed out by a faint smile. "It doesn't matter if there's no antidote," she expressed her point of view sincerely, "I don't mind waiting another ten years, as long as you love me, as long as it doesn't change... I'm beginning to understand those who die for their ideals, but what I have is not an illusory goal. Shirley, as long as you're by my side..."

She pressed her lips against his to stop her from continuing.

And Winnet was really drunk, drunk with Shirley, and was completely infatuated with her.

Finally, she couldn't help but kiss Winnet. The restraint and shyness between them gradually disappeared, and they felt much more relaxed, just like crossing the red line in a race or ringing the bell at the end of an exam. They didn't indulge in it, but still tried it briefly, maintaining a tacit understanding. The current state did not allow them to do more. Xiao Ai endured her temper, buried her face in Winnet's chest, listened to her heartbeat, kissed the red dot on the snow, and caressed the space between her knees.

"Winnett, you really make me feel so conflicted," Xiao Ai let her lie on her knees and murmured, "Absinthe is really a suitable code name. It brings people a hallucinatory experience, then experiences the burning of high-concentration alcohol, and finally a light and fresh taste lingers between the teeth, with a rich aroma and a leisurely aftertaste."

"Maybe I should taste it."

"You'll get drunk."

"Then let's have sherry."

"But now there is no Shirley, and no Miyano Shiho... I thought you were murdered, so I gave you your current name. Maybe it brings me luck."

They talked about a lot of topics, and Mingmei came back. They saw the two of them sitting on the sofa drinking black tea. It was brewed by Winette, using brandy to make black tea. Mingmei added milk and asked for a cup. She couldn't help but praise Winette's tea-making skills, and then complained that she didn't have such treatment, slightly hinting at the intimacy between the two.

She was actually a little worried, after all, her sister was only seven or eight years old, if something really happened, it would be a bad incident that would be criticized by the society, but she also knew that her sister was not so irrational. It was late at night, Mingmei sent Xiao Ai back to the doctor's house, Winnet wanted to see her off, but Xiao Ai said that there was a sisterly conversation, so she had to give up.

After the task was successfully completed, there would be no need for her for about half a month. So Winette had the leisure to accompany Mingmei to do housework. It was quite strenuous to clean a whole big house, and the weather was getting hotter, so there was more work to do. The purchased milk needed to be heated to prevent it from turning sour; Miss Winette started to make handmade orange jam and put the finished product in the freezer. Cleaning some rooms that she didn't often go to, the dust raised by the broom covered her cheeks and arms, but she didn't feel bored at all. She began to look forward to every little bit of life. This sentence is the most appropriate to describe Winette now.

After a long time, she found the Redemption Diary again.

Sure enough, it was marked as completed and even had a Super rating.

Let me see...what's the reward?

[Task Reward: Telepathy (Subject Already Bound: Huiyuan Ai)]

telepathy?

This is another completely metaphysical power! Winnet gradually felt numb, and so did revelation. Although it was useless at ordinary times, it was a life-saving ability at critical moments... Wait, since it was telepathy, it meant that when Ai was in danger, she could feel it at the first time, right?

This was good news, and it made Winnet re-evaluate the importance of her diary, but the situation was not yet such that she needed to rely on it.

In less than a week, Winnett stabilized her pace of life. During the day, she negotiated with Mingmei about the trivial matters of life. The two of them divided some of the work. In her spare time, she would go to the church. Now the construction has been very systematic. In addition to those who come to participate in interest classes, there are also people who worship in the main hall. Winnett had a brief exchange with the new old pastor. The other party expressed his enthusiasm. Winnett was also willing to help his son solve his financial problems. Recently, the church has also received a wedding service-this made Winnett have some reverie, maybe she and Xiao Ai can also have a wedding. Red carpet, white wedding dress, and ceremony, she imagined herself holding Xiao Ai's hand, and couldn't help but giggle. But Winnett is not a delusional personality. She follows the rules. After arranging everything, she did not become a hands-off shopkeeper, but let new people know her. The characteristics of her eyes made it easy for her to integrate into it. Faith represents a sustenance, and it can also gather people who are suffering and want to avoid suffering.

The reputation of being kind and generous was very useful. She was almost equivalent to a parish priest here. Although she did not actually manage anything, she only had to attend meetings. Under the advice of the old priest, Fan Tianqian began to set up a choir. Winnett spent a lot of money to invite music teachers to attract some parents to send their children to participate. Of course, she would also teach the use of musical instruments in private.

But Winnett didn't expect that the other party wanted her to sing at first. The teacher who was invited thought she was a student. Winnett thought that she was once a popular country singer, so she showed her skills. In just the first second, the music teacher was completely attracted by her voice. While praising her, he also used a very religious word "as if the church emits a holy light." He even asked her if she was in school and if she had any plans for further studies, but Winnett refused. After Fan Tianqian's explanation, the other party knew her identity as the heir of the group.

What a pity, it was angels singing.

He said.

Winnett didn't think it was a pity, but still became the choir leader at the other party's strong request. However, she also said that it was impossible for her to be present every time and she might often miss practice, but the other party didn't think it was important. She said that her sense of pitch and control of voice did not need correction and practice at all, and she was a complete genius.

However, the area where this genius truly demonstrated his abilities was in counter-reconnaissance and assassination.

In less than a week, Winnett began to miss Ai absentmindedly again. Although she could use the excuse of going to the doctor's house, it was hard to justify their frequent meetings, and it couldn't be explained by neighborhood relationships. If there were organized people around and knew that she often visited, they would definitely not think it was a normal neighborhood relationship. Even Conan wouldn't always go to the doctor's house. Besides, Ai usually needs to go to elementary school. But unfortunately, although Ai has a school to go to, she doesn't have a household registration. If she wants to go to high school or college in the future, she needs to prepare.

Winette thought of finding a local household registration department, launching a large-scale construction project to bribe them, and then pretending to be the Huibara couple to get a household registration and completely confirm Ai's identity.

This way, the chances of problems being discovered will be much less.

At the weekend, the teacher got two opera tickets. Winnett planned to invite Ai to go with her, but even though she also invited Mingmei, Mingmei refused because she "didn't want to disturb your date." So Winnett sent the ticket for Verdi's "Otello" to Ai.

The only thing worth worrying about is that the performers are all Japanese, so the situation might seem a little weird.

However, the next morning, when Winnet was weeding in the yard, the telepathy from the diary took effect. As a superpower, it was a little shabby, and she just felt a tightness in her heart, which meant that Ai was very worried about something. The doctor's house was nearby, and she planned to go and take a look. However, when she arrived, she saw Ai anxiously calling, the glass of the doctor's door was broken and open, and Dr. Agasa was lying on the ground, breathing faintly in pain.

Her brows furrowed. "What happened?"

Ai had a serious expression on her face. She explained to Winnett, "A man on a motorcycle suddenly appeared at the doctor's door. After he broke the glass, the doctor thought it was a prank and wanted to check it out. However, when he opened the door, the man pointed a crossbow at him. Fortunately, it only hit his butt. By the way, Edogawa was there just now, and he has already gone after that man."

"The man on the motorcycle..."

The condition was too vague, and she might not have been able to find it in time if she went to search for it since she arrived late.

"Before the attack, were there any signs?" She asked about recent events. Such terrorist acts, without using more lethal methods, were likely intended to torture Dr. Agasa. "For example, receiving threatening letters, having windows smashed in the middle of the night, and being almost hit by a car on the road?"

"No," Ai said. She remembered what she heard from Conan and told Winnett, "Before the doctor was attacked, the police officer named Megure was also attacked by a crossbow. Not long after he was attacked, the girl...Mori Ran's mother also received chocolate containing pesticides and almost got into trouble. But I tested the chocolate and the amount of pesticides in it was not lethal. Maybe the criminal's intention was not to kill them... If there is anything in common among the victims, it is probably that they are related to the Maori family."

Maori... Maori Kogoro may offend a lot of people by becoming a famous detective, but he has only become famous recently because the people arrested by him as a detective have basically no chance of being released from prison.

The prisoners' families, or...

Winette remembered what Xiaolan had mentioned before, that Maori Kogoro was a policeman when he was young, and maybe he was the one who was offended when he was a policeman. But attacking Dr. Agasa was a bit far-fetched, as he and Kogoro had only met a few times and were not close friends.

However, once Dr. Agasa fell, the evening appointment had to be cancelled. Although she didn't need to stay in the hospital to take care of the doctor, it was not the right time. As a half-doctor, Xiao Ai judged that it was best not to deal with it now. If she rashly dealt with the crossbow arrow, it would easily lead to further deterioration. They waited until the ambulance came, and Mingmei followed.

Before leaving Dr. Agasa's house, Winnet discovered a strange thing in front of the yard.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ai asked.

"Ah, nothing..."

Winnett picked up a double circle object that represented a cycle, and said that she and Mingmei would go to the hospital immediately, and let Ai follow the ambulance first.

In the car, Winette held it and asked Mingmei: "Do you know this thing?"

"I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..." Mingmei glanced briefly while driving.

"Poker," Winnett said uncertainly, "This shape looks a lot like the sword in Jack's hand in the poker."

"Oh, I remember now! It is exactly the same."

As for JACK, the number is eleven. The "Shi" in Dr. Agasa's name is exactly eleven. Winette also thought of what Ai said about Xiaolan's mother being murdered. Although there is no number in Eri Kisaki's name, there is the word "Hisui". If it is interpreted as a princess, Queen can be used to refer to it. As for Megure, there is probably the number thirteen in his name.

When they arrived at the hospital, they immediately asked the front desk and found Dr. Agasa's ward. Ai had already informed the police long before, and not long after, a police officer with a strange hairstyle, with only the left bangs protruding and wavy, came. After he learned about the situation properly, Kogoro and Ran also came - they were taking care of Eri Kisaki in the next ward. Finally, Conan, who ran out to chase the criminal, also rushed to the scene.

"Sister Winnet, what are you holding in your hand?" As soon as Conan entered the door, he noticed the strange object in Winnet's hand.

Winnet didn't hold back, she handed the thing to him and told him her inference.

"Inspector Megure's name is Megure Jusan, which is indeed very appropriate." The police officer named Shiratori nodded.

"But why did he use playing cards and specifically choose spades?" Xiaolan was puzzled.

Shiratori explained, "Because spades represent death, just like hearts represent love... diamonds represent money, and clubs represent happiness."

"So this criminal wanted to use playing cards as marks, secretly planning to kill everyone whose names contain the numbers 13 to 1 one after another?" Kogoro murmured solemnly.

"And these people are all related to you, uncle."

Conan added.

Winette felt like complaining, it was obviously related to Kudo Shinichi.

……

334 Here Comes Green Light

That's true, but the current Conan is not the same as Kudo Shinichi, and the criminal couldn't notice it. Based on the license plate number provided by Conan, Shiratori found out that the criminal was riding a stolen car. As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was opened again, and Officer Megure walked in, still wearing his orange suit. The small ward was now bustling. However, the people present were not optimistic about Megure's physical condition. Winette heard that he was shot in the abdomen and the wound was quite deep. Now he should be barely able to move normally.

The arrival of Inspector Megure finally made some progress in the investigation. After expressing his misfortune for the experience of the doctor and Kisaki Eri, Megure ignored Kogoro's dissuasion and insisted on joining the investigation, and proposed a possible suspect - Murakami Takeru.

"Is the criminal Murakami Jō?" Kogoro frowned.

"Who is he?" Bai Niao asked the question on everyone's mind.

Megure explained: "He is a bachelor and a card dealer. Ten years ago, he killed someone and was released from prison a week ago after serving his sentence."

"What is a banker in card games?" Xiaolan was puzzled.

Jiu Yi Si Jiu Ling San Qi Ba Jiu

"Actually, it's the dealer. He's the one who deals cards to customers who play card games, and he doesn't participate in the games himself." Winnett said first.

Seeing that Xiao Ai seemed to want to explain, she was afraid that such a subtle detail would attract attention. In any case, this was not something that an elementary school student should understand.

Megure took out an old photo from his pocket. The edges were already worn. The photo showed a man dealing cards, surrounded by gamblers and spectators. The man was wearing a waiter's uniform, with a crew cut and a band of bangs on his forehead. His face was very wrinkled, with large earlobes like a Buddha's, slightly protruding cheekbones, a high nose bridge, a long chin, and inverted triangular eyes. His appearance might scare a child, but in the eyes of an adult, he looked harmless. Judging from his face alone, he didn't look like a dangerous person.

"Come to think of it, he does have reason to hate me," said Maori.

"Why?" Conan asked.

"I was the one who arrested him in the first place."

"What? These are the police arresting a criminal. This is only natural!" Xiaolan was very unhappy.

"That's right..."

In the middle of the conversation between father and daughter, Bai Niao raised his head and made a reminiscent expression, and then said: "I have also heard something about that case. I remember this man, after he was taken to the police station..."

He was about to speak when Megure interrupted him. "Officer Shiratori, don't mention him about the past!" His expression was serious and his voice was like an order, so Shiratori had to swallow back his words. Conan and Xiaolan were a little surprised and couldn't hide their curiosity about what Shiratori said.

"But why didn't this Murakami Jō come to me directly? If he had a grudge against me, he should have come to me directly!"

"This is because he wants to torture you as much as possible, and then slowly force you into a dead end."

Maori and Megure are talking, and Conan interrupts to ask Kogoro if he knows anyone with a cross in their name. Kogoro sweats anxiously, and tries his best to recall, then hammers his palm and calls out "Ms. Towako". After everyone asks, they learn that this is a mama-san who runs a nightclub in Ginza, which makes Ai look at her with a bit of disdain.

Winette didn't care about this, and she didn't think Murakami was the real murderer. A man who had been in prison for ten years and just got out of prison, a week might not be enough for him to adapt to the changes in the outside world. Even if he hated Kogoro to the core during these ten years, it would be difficult for him to investigate his interpersonal relationships and start a plan to retaliate against Kogoro within a week. Even if he really had this ability, what about motorcycles? Even a bicycle would become rusty after not riding it for ten years, let alone a high-risk vehicle like a motorcycle. Judging from Conan's description alone, the criminal is obviously a guy with rich riding experience.

She guessed that the spade poker numbers he had gone to great lengths to match were most likely a cover-up to conceal who he really wanted to kill. If not, the criminal would not have needed to reduce the amount of pesticides used, and only use a crossbow. Although guns are banned in Japan, it is not difficult to get one if you are determined. There are many people who sell them illegally, including local Japanese gangs, who have many hot weapons in their hands. The Matsuba Society, who confronted her a few days ago, also had someone holding a rifle. As for the Mud Society, grenades and rocket launchers are common in their arsenal.

Although it was a bit absurd, with Kogoro's statement, Megure and the others set off immediately. Winette naturally stayed behind, she didn't care about the life or death of the nightclub mama-san, and this was probably a trick, unless Maori Kogoro had an affair with her, but even if so, it was still unrealistic.

"Aren't you interested in the case?" Xiao Ai asked doubtfully, "It's enough for me to take care of the doctor. He is all alone. If he had been more proactive in life, his granddaughter would be the one taking care of him now. Winnet, you don't have to stay with me. It's my fault that the reservation tonight was cancelled. We'll go next time. Well, it's a bit greedy to say this. Next time, I'll invite you instead. You'll honor me, right?"

When the doctor heard this, his face was buried in the pillow. If he hadn't been lying on his stomach and it hurt to move, they would have thought he was about to fall asleep.

"Of course. But I'm not really interested in the case."

"Really? I thought you were like Edogawa, unable to resist this kind of intellectual confrontation game. No, you are not a detective, it is indeed different. However, I am still very concerned about the criminal in the case, because he is the murderer who hurt the doctor. What do you think? Is the criminal really that Murakami Joe?"
