Conan seemed to sense some kind of aura and kept his distance from Winnet.
There were seven people in the group, and three of them were injured.
Although the iron barrel that Conan kicked was quite powerful, her injury was not serious and the bleeding stopped after a few minutes. However, there was a large piece of tape on the back of the doctor's head, and black bruises could be seen. As for Conan, he was still running around like a tenacious mouse, full of energy, and did not look like he had been knocked unconscious at all.
Don't judge a book by its cover. Dr. Agasa has a strong ability to withstand blows... Winette thought about it and thought that it might be because neither she nor Conan had suffered from the hair loss crisis, so the wound could not be seen.
"This castle is really interesting!" Yuantai put his hands behind his head and exclaimed excitedly.
“It’s really full of thrills.”
When Mitsuhiko spoke up, Ayumi also agreed, saying that only Dr. Agasa looked miserable, and even his lenses were patched.
The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten.
Winette also felt helpless. It seemed that these restless little troublemakers would never learn a lesson. They forgot that they almost lost their lives in a blink of an eye.
Before leaving, the castle's gardener, Mr. Tian Dian, happily called them over and asked them to stay for breakfast.
He looked at Conan kindly: "Eat before you go, little brother with glasses, didn't you eat nothing yesterday?"
"You don't have to be polite. In fact, we have some things prepared for camping in the car," Conan declined shyly, and then raised the bag of bread in his hand, looking at Ayumi with a sunny smile, "Besides, I think this bag of bread is more delicious!"
Seeing that her preparation was recognized, Ayumi was very happy with a smile on her face.
I don't know if it's because of her high or low EQ, but to Winette, this part is almost the same as flirting. If she didn't have such thoughts, it would be fine, but Ayumi obviously has a good impression of Edogawa, which is a bit intriguing. However, Winette just glanced at it and didn't intend to meddle in such trivial matters.
"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
Xiao Ai was not interested in this either. A whole night of investigation and running around was very exhausting both mentally and physically. She responded pragmatically to the invitation of the castle owner.
The second day after returning to Dongdu.
"Discounted tickets to the cinema..."
Winette drawled out her tone on the phone.
The reason was that Dr. Agasa won a discounted ticket to the cinema in the shopping street, so the excited young detective team prepared to watch the movie together, and Ai and Edogawa were also invited. The cinema is a standard place for dating. If she and Ai were alone, she would be willing to do it. Frankly speaking, Edogawa and the others were quite a nuisance.
"Yes, I was invited too. The movie being played was Godzilla, which is quite suitable for children."
Winette tightened her grip on the microphone and retorted, "I'm not a child..."
"Ah, why didn't you behave like an adult when you were acting like a spoiled brat the other day?"
Xiao Ai teased, she thought Winette, who was angry with Edogawa, was also quite cute, of course, she would not force her to follow:
"It looks like we have to postpone it for a while. They are very excited about the movie this time, and it's a good way to relax their minds occasionally. By the way, with the information my sister brought me and the samples you brought, I already have an idea of how to develop the antidote. That bottle of white wine is also crucial... I was thinking, if it really succeeds..."
“Frankly, now is not a good time.”
Thinking of the organization's activities and Bourbon's reminder, Winnett advised Ai to give up the idea for the time being.
"I understand. They won't give up looking for me in such a short time... Okay, don't worry. Besides, it's impossible for me to succeed all at once." Seeing Winette silent on the other end of the phone, Xiao Ai maintained an optimistic attitude and her words did not reveal any flaws.
In silence, Winette felt annoyed by her own powerlessness. No matter which path she took, it was not foolproof. In fact, deep down she hoped that the status quo could be maintained.
Even if they use methods such as escaping from the shell, they can't guarantee success. Now, the people who are targeting Miyano Shiho are not only the Gin duo, but also intelligence agents like Bourbon have been assigned tasks. Rum and his men who are hiding in the dark must also be paying attention in secret.
"Well, my little Ai is so alert and smart, of course I feel relieved!"
Xiao Ai held her face in a straight line and tried to speak calmly, "Naughty."
"I'm not exaggerating or lying."
Winnett vowed solemnly. Before hanging up the phone, she whispered, "Be careful recently. The organization has begun to cast a net against the FBI."
"FBI..."
When Xiao Ai heard the name, she frowned and the first thing she thought of was the unfaithful man who abandoned her sister. She nodded softly, indicating that she would be careful.
We have to let Edogawa behave himself.
Winnett's words have two meanings: Shuichi Akai reappears and the FBI sends people to Japan. If these two sides clash, Edogawa will definitely intervene, which will cause a lot of trouble.
Rubbing his temples and leaning his head on the sofa for a while, Xiao Ai came back to her senses and murmured, "These are not things I should worry about... As expected, I should watch a movie to relax."
Tickets for Cinema Street... Winette remembered that the area was about to be redeveloped, and because the stores were old and business was slow, they were negotiating with construction companies and contractors.
Although it is not quite the same as the economic bubble in memory, the overall economy is still going downhill. Compared with other industries, the decline in land is the largest, and one of the main reasons is population density. Now is not the time for the surrounding population to pour into the East Capital on a large scale, the old industries have not been completely replaced, and economic changes are relatively stable. Therefore, the real estate industry, which is larger than the demand, has ushered in a downturn.
On the contrary, the renewal of industries is the most worthwhile investment at this time. High-end hotels and high-rise plazas are popular among young people, and Beihua Town is located in a prosperous area. The changes in industrial renewal often cause a series of chain reactions, and the underworld has room for development.
"This is really..."
Winnet flipped through the commissions on her computer and found one of them was from Movie Street. The client was a middle-aged man who loved movies and denounced the real estate developer for hiring thugs to harass her frequently.
In the details, Winnett learned that the real estate company was a small and unknown enterprise. She asked Miss Fantian to help investigate and found that the movie street had been in a state of loss for many years, and the surrounding businesses had not been revitalized. There were also rumors that gangsters often fought in the movie street, resulting in fewer and fewer people buying tickets to watch.
What a despicable move, Winnet thought.
Now she had to do something. What if these hooligans didn't even let the children go and Xiao Ai suffered injustice? She wouldn't be able to swallow this.
"They are just idle people... I thought I had to knock on the doors of these small gangs and factions, but now it seems that I can save some effort..."
Winnett called Clyde and soon got his information.
Zhang Tianzhengci.
He has a prison history of violent assault and theft. He is currently running a small company that earns profits through harassment and soft violence, forcing residents to submit, and also engages in the illegal business of loan sharking.
"It's still more lovable to murderers with a purpose. Even perverted killers and lunatics are more pleasing to the eye. At least they won't bully ordinary residents, and usually have their own beliefs." Winette smiled while holding the glass, "Am I right?"
"Do you want me to take action?"
Clyde did not completely agree with Winnett's point of view. He felt that those who made mistakes temporarily still had a chance to change their ways, but this kind of social scum was used to gaining benefits through oppression, and even imprisonment and persuasion would have no effect. Although it was just a small ant that could be crushed to death, it was more disgusting than a blood-sucking worm.
"I'm quite optimistic about the future of the cinema. How about asking Sofia to help buy it? I haven't asked her for any gifts or birthday presents..."
Anyway, in two years, as long as the equipment is updated, the cinema will immediately regain its vitality. Japan attaches great importance to the protection of film and television property rights. At present, video recorders and discs have a great impact on the film market, but when they develop to a certain extent, just like the Renaissance, the film market will regain its vitality and become a low-cost social activity venue.
"Well, I'll let her do it. Where's the gangster?"
A movie street is really nothing, and its value may not be as good as the scriptures that Burgundy gave to this young lady a while ago.
Although it is a historical relic, the scriptures inlaid with rubies and diamonds are still too eye-catching.
Clyde felt even more strange when he thought of Winnet using this scripture to pad the corner of the table.
Although Winnett thought that keeping such a person would be a disaster, she did not intend to let him have a close contact with death in public, even if this approach would make people happy. There were disgusting guys like this everywhere in the world, and it was impossible to make them disappear, so it was better to use them as waste and let them play a little role.
In the last conversation with Bourbon, he mentioned the method of luring the snake out of its hole. The reason why the FBI came to Dongdu was to investigate the organization. In order to make them show up, they needed to throw out enough bait first.
There are two ways to induce them. One is for internationally renowned criminals to contact them, and the other is for them to show up as members of the organization. Of course, showing up is not enough, the other party must be made aware that this is an action related to the organization, and she is the bait.
The "Masked Grim Reaper" is back.
Winnet thought the title was stupid and not as nice as the Black Death, but she was wearing a mask and black clothes at the time, so it did fit some of the characteristics.
The police could not find any clues about the organization from the person he killed at that time, but thanks to the spread of this video on the Internet, it still has some influence now. As long as he appears again in this appearance, he will not be afraid of not attracting attention. Attention is only secondary. The key is to let them know that the masked death god is related to the organization.
In fact, the simplest way is to bring a few crows. If it were Shuichi Akai, he would definitely notice this. Unfortunately, Miss Winnett does not have the ability to tame animals, so she can only take the stupid method - creating a case.
Bourbon has a list of people who are suspected of having second thoughts about the organization, mostly low-level personnel. If they are big shots in the political and business circles, such matters will be handed over to Gin's coordination personnel to hunt them down. For low-level personnel, most of them don't know much and can only do a limited amount of things. Most of the time, even if there is a problem, it is not something that needs to be dealt with urgently.
However, Bourbon discovered serious problems during the investigation.
The intelligence personnel belonging to the organization were purged, although only a small number, but there is a high possibility that they leaked from the inside. Judging from the tragic deaths of these intelligence personnel, the people who did it are mostly unrelated to the official organization, or they are radicals within it.
Judging from the current situation, the NOC list has not been leaked, but a secret line has been detonated. However, the situation is not optimistic and may expose the information of senior intelligence personnel.
A big part of the reason why Winnett agreed to cooperate with Bourbon was that he suppressed the news and did not report it to Gin. Otherwise, according to Gin's temperament, he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, and directly start a bottom-level reshuffle.
She is still waiting for his news and making a list of suspects.
At times like this, scum like this comes in handy, used to confuse the audience and prevent the opponent from finding patterns in the deaths. However, one is really not enough, so Winette plans to gather a few more and put on a new show.
"Keep it for now. In many cases, death is something to be thankful for..."
……
386 The Deeds Were Exposed
The acquisition was not going smoothly. Winnett hired someone to threaten the real estate developer, using a tit-for-tat approach. However, the person she hired was a "pure-blooded" gangster, and the tactics he used were much more thorough than those used by Zhang Tian who harassed the movie street. Zhang Tian Masajiro himself was also in this category, and he had no time to get away and continue to act like a rogue in the cinema.
The investigation on Bourbon's side will continue for some time. In the past few days, Winette went to the Pure Girls' School twice and established a relationship with Reiko Akiba, indicating that she was a good employer.
The other party's main accomplishments are in classical music and he has a good image. Apart from being a little arrogant, he has no other shortcomings.
She thought there would be many opportunities for cooperation in the future, so she exchanged contact information with Akita Reiko. As for the orchestral competition, it was in June, which was still a long time, and Akita only took two days a week to come and give guidance.
Ms. Winnet, a potential sponsor, was once criticized sharply and bluntly by her.
Mingmei was still taking training courses. During the summer vacation, she had a corresponding rating test. Winnett found someone to ask for help and bribed a retired teacher from Teitan Elementary School, and took Mingmei over to ask him to write a recommendation letter.
Winette only took on the bridge-building part, and the retired teacher herself could see Mingmei's enthusiasm and hard work, and in the end she was basically willing to do it.
On the day of the movie, Winette went to Dr. Agasa's house to wait for Ai.
"Why are you back so late? Didn't you leave in the morning?"
Winnett took some time out from her busy kitchen work and went to the door to open it for Ai, and saw that she still looked a little sleepy.
In the evening, Xiao Ai, who was standing at the entrance taking off her shoes, rubbed her eyes which were oozing tears and said slowly:
"The complete Godzilla series, a luxurious package of six hours, plus a halftime break..."
"Hey, how do you feel?"
There was a hint of joking in Winnet's words.
She knew the movie Godzilla, and its status in this world was similar to that of Ultraman. It was a pioneering and classic work in the special effects category, but she herself had no interest in special effects and had heard about the content from the children in the welfare home.
As a pastor who is committed to welfare work, Miss Winnett has invited leather suit actors to perform at her home. However, because the audience is children, the income from this industry is relatively low.
"It's quite interesting..." Xiao Ai yawned, thinking that this was too general.
She added: "It's a little creepy to see how stupid humans are to indulge in the end of science, when you look at it from the inside out."
Winnett almost became beady-eyed when she heard this: "That's a very unique comment. But as long as you think it's interesting, I'm actually worried that you'd get bored with them. Now it seems that I'm too narrow-minded."
Ai seemed to be thinking: "It is indeed a bit narrow. It feels like a fox's ear."
Winette groaned, and her cheeks began to burn.
Xiao Ai smiled teasingly and sniffed: "What are you doing? Watching a movie is quite exhausting. I'm a little hungry."
After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen, smelled the aroma inside, stepped on a stool, lifted the lid of the pot, and saw a steamed fish. There was also a prepared vegetable sandwich on the table next to it. Xiao Ai took one.
Winnet patted her cheeks with both hands, regained her composure, and came to the kitchen. It seemed a bit childish of her to ask for food as soon as she got home. She glanced at the pressure cooker that was stewing beef bones and continued to cook the fish in the pot.
When the dishes were served, Dr. Agasa couldn't help rubbing his hands. Ai saw the sumptuous food on the table and felt her appetite surge. At the same time, she secretly thought that Winette was like a newlywed wife waiting for her husband to come home for dinner.
It seems that I will have to work to support the family in the future... Xiao Ai imagined them after leaving the organization. By then, Winnet will not be a rich person anymore, and the family finances will fall on her.
It seems that I need to pay more attention to studying.
She doesn't expect to continue living with her original identity, so she'll get a decent degree. At present, intellectual property protection is still very important. She can focus on drugs to treat diseases and then apply for patents, which will not be difficult to cover her living expenses.
The fantasy isn't entirely a fantasy.
"It seems that my cooking skills are no longer up to par." Xiao Ai looked at Winnet with a smile. In this regard, she had no desire to compete with others. She had already regarded Winnet as her own.
"It's not that exaggerated. I just followed the instructions in the recipe." Winnet was very happy with the compliment, but she was not proud. Her sensitivity to time and dosage made her use of ingredients accurately. On this basis, she also consulted some chefs and spent a lot of time and effort.
She still holds the old view that things that are handmade and full of heart are the best.
At this time, Winnet's cell phone rang.
Although it was a phone that had nothing to do with the organization, it still puzzled her because not many people had her number, and even fewer would call her.
Normally, employees would not call their bosses directly unless they encountered a major problem, and this also applied to her. She had a landline at home, and portable cell phones were not so popular at that time.
Xiao Ai raised her head slightly and asked, "Who's calling?"
"Garden..."
Winnet murmured, a little surprised, and immediately pressed the connect button.
"Hello, Sonoko?"
"Did you hear that, Miss Winnet?"
"What did you hear?" Winnett was confused.
"You haven't watched TV yet?" Sonoko asked mysteriously, and told Winnet to turn to the news channel first.
