Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

TV… Winette left the dining table, went to the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, switched to the corresponding channel, and then a bald old man appeared.

He is the cousin of Sonoko's father, an advisor to the Suzuki Group, and an eccentric who loves to travel around the world, participate in races and win first place.

At this time, Suzuki Jirokichi was surrounded by reporters, squeezed in the middle of a microphone, and made a statement that he must catch Kaito Kid.

Kaitou Kidd...

When Winnett thought about Sonoko's obsession with magic during the magic lovers' gathering, she was not surprised.

"How about it, Miss Winnet, are you interested too?"

"Uh……"

It seems that the last time when Vermouth dragged her to the party, a misunderstanding occurred. Whether it was magic or Kaito Kid, they were irrelevant matters to her.

Having said that, sending out a warning letter before stealing can indeed easily be seen as a provocation... Wait, doesn't this also prove that it will hype up the incident?

Should we let the masked Grim Reaper show up to stimulate the long-silent popularity in advance?

"not bad."

The TV program did not make the Kaito Kidd's notice public, which was not conducive to her idea. After all, there might not be an audience for the appearance, and even if the two sides met, it would probably not be recorded by the camera, and the location was in Osaka - near the newly built Suzuki Museum of Modern Art.

"Because of this incident, the original exhibition plan had to be adjusted. My uncle is now considering how to place the Egg of Memory... Based on my recommendation, he has decided to invite Xiaolan's father to protect Mr. Kidd. Miss Winnet, you can come along too!"

"Well, I also want to see... the lost treasure of the Romanov dynasty."

"Then it's settled!"

Winnett hung up the phone with a little helplessness. The voices of some fanatical Kaito Kid fans could be heard from the TV, which made her laugh and cry.

"I also heard about this from Edogawa. Two nights ago, this Phantom Thief appeared on the windowsill of Yoshida's house and became the criminal who stole the young girl's innocent love. Recently, they have been discussing this a lot."

"If the girl's father goes, Edogawa will definitely go with him. According to the style of the 'Boy Detective Team', they will definitely clamor to go with him."

After thinking about the personalities of these children, she reminded Winnet.

Will something happen again? Winette was worried that someone would die again. Every time Maori Kogoro and Edogawa teamed up in such a powerful way, they would definitely be watched by the god of death. Putting this aside, this time, she might be the one playing the role of the god of death.

Winnet lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "If that's the case, you, Ai, will also be involved. Why don't I take you to Osaka to have some fun? Anyway, that Kaito Kidd is just a thief, so I think there shouldn't be any danger."

"It is irresponsible to take children out for a trip casually. At least their parents should be informed..."

Ai said something disapproving, but her emotions were slightly aroused: "Once you show up, their thoughts will definitely be rekindled...right, Doctor?"

Dr. Agasa almost choked.

He coughed twice into a napkin, drank some beef bone soup, and then nodded frequently, indicating that his car had just been sent to the auto repair shop. Two days after his castle trip, the car broke down and would take two or three days to repair.

"The egg of memories..."

"This secret treasure of the Romanov dynasty is so popular that countless people flock to it just by its name. Its complex mechanical structure makes many people believe that it hides some secrets. Although in my opinion, it is just an exquisite gift from a wealthy king to his wife and children. You should be able to easily guess why it is made in the shape of an egg."

Winnet could not deny: "Easter."

"Kaito Kidd's previous targets have always been gems. Strictly speaking, the egg in the hands of the Suzuki Group cannot be considered in this category. At best, it is just an exquisite work of art."

"How do you know so much about this?"

Xiao Ai left the dining table, rummaged in the drawer of the table in front of the sofa, and took out a magazine with an introduction to the Egg of Memory.

Sure enough, girls all like sparkling gems, just like the dragons in fairy tales. Winnet wondered whether she should buy some exquisite jewelry as gifts.

"Why are you suddenly paying attention to Kaito Kidd?" Ai stared into Winnet's eyes. "Last time when you went to a party without telling me, you ran into him. Is there anything going on between you two?"

"No, it's just a coincidence..."

When Winnett mentioned this, she felt a chill down her spine and pretended to be nonchalant: "Well, he said something strange to Edogawa at that time."

"Strange words?" Xiao Ai looked at her suspiciously.

"When the clock strikes the end of the century, we will meet again."

Winnett was shocked when she saw Ai's gaze. Could it be that Conan Edogawa had betrayed her? Winnett had to repeat the story: "When he said that to Edogawa on the windowsill, it was more like a declaration of war than an agreement. A thief's challenge to a detective... It seems that Edogawa's identity might have been exposed to him."

"Is there nothing else you want to tell me?"

Xiao Ai sat on Winnet's lap, with a hand on her shoulder: "Why did you attend such a gathering of magic lovers? I haven't heard that you have this hobby. Keeping up online communication for more than half a year... Do you have anything to explain?"

"It's not me, actually."

Seeing Ai narrow her eyes, Winnett felt pressured. She felt that she couldn't explain it clearly, but she still said, "Someone took me there. He was the one who attended the party. He thought he could meet someone at the party, but in the end, only Kaito Kid showed up."

"Okay, you're off. Since you said so, I won't ask about the identity of this sensitive person."

Winnet let out a surprised "eh" when Ai didn't get to the bottom of the matter.

"Do you think I'm the kind of woman who is extremely controlling?" Winnet's reaction made Ai unhappy.

It was common to want to understand the other person. She was just confused about Winnet's whereabouts. After hearing her explanation, she could probably guess that most of the people who went with her were from the organization.

When they met Edogawa by chance, it was Winette who was troubled.

Xiao Ai blew into Winnet's ear and said in a mosquito-like voice: "As long as you don't bring a woman of questionable character to me, I can forgive you generously."

"How could I possibly do something like that!"

Winnet almost couldn't sit still, and entangled her fingers again, sighing:

"Alas, words like this sound like they are not trusted."

"You're taking it too seriously. Of course I believe you, but I just don't want you to get too involved with me. In fact, I think it's not bad for you to occasionally attend such gatherings, such as this one. Too close contact can sometimes backfire."

"I see." Winnet's voice was no longer low.

"Recently, I've been helping the school students prepare for orchestra and chorus competitions, and I've also been helping Mingmei achieve her dream. You don't have to worry that I'm neglecting my own business..." Winnett wanted to give some more examples, but the only thing that made her truly happy seemed to be the time she spent with Ai. It would be putting the cart before the horse to establish close relationships with others.

She glanced at Xiao Ai and found that she was stroking her hair with a hint of doting in her expression.

"Sure enough, he's a stupid fox. He's a little too clingy."

……

387 What kind of relationship do they have?

"Wow, what a luxurious car!"

On the agreed date, Winnet Toclade drove the children to Osaka for a tour; Sonoko was originally scheduled to pick her up, and Winnet asked if she could take the children with her. Sonoko agreed very generously, saying that it didn't matter if there were more people, as it would be more lively with more people, so they split up into two groups, Sonoko took the Mori family, and she took the children.

Yuantai and the other two circled the car a few times, and Mitsuhiko, who was well-informed, called out the name of the car:

"This is the Bentley Mulsanne, a very popular model ten years ago."

Clyde smiled and touched Mitsuhiko's head, then nodded and said:

"Yes."

It was a troublesome car model… There were only two seats in the back seat, and they were separated. There wasn’t enough space, so Winette could only sit on the passenger seat.

It is more convenient to take the Shinkansen to Osaka, but considering the current speed of trains, self-driving tours are not much different. In this way, there is no need for the children to buy tickets. Winette prepared drinks and snacks in the trunk in advance, ready to share them with them during the break.

Clyde, who had changed into casual clothes, was quite friendly. He turned on the car stereo and played soothing religious music.

"That uncle, could it be..." Mitsuhiko said in a low voice to the three people.

Winnet pulled the drawer and opened it a crack, and saw the undealt revolver inside. She was about to blame Clyde with her expression, but she heard the whispered discussion behind her, and she couldn't help but narrow her eyes and smile.

She placed her hand on the storage lid in the middle, turned her head, and pointed her face at the little brats who were about to gossip:

"Not really."

Clyde, biting a chocolate bar, laughed. He already knew the true identity of the person behind him, and of course understood the embarrassment of this young lady. When he thought about the ruthless Winnett making a special explanation for this, he found it interesting and even teased:

"Haha, you are so ruthless!"

Favor? Winnet's eyes wrinkled, as if giving a glare.

"That's a pretty serious statement. Clyde, your Japanese needs some improvement."

Stop it. If you keep joking, you will be the one who gets upset. Clyde nodded quickly and helped to clear up the misunderstanding:

"Well, I'm the young lady's driver. You should have seen me before, the one dressed all in black, dressed like a crow, but I heard that this time we were just traveling, so I changed into casual clothes."

Xiao Ai was used to him, but she thought he was a dangerous person, but with Winnet mediating, she was not afraid. This kind of welcoming car has a stable chassis, so she simply took a magazine to read.

It didn't take long before Yuan Tai couldn't sit still anymore:

"How long will it take to get to Osaka?"

Xiao Ai took a deep breath and looked out the window. She could vaguely see a corner of Mount Fuji. She thought for a moment and said:

"It will take at least three more hours, but we set out earlier than Edogawa, so we won't be too much later than him when we arrive."

"It's going to take another three hours." As Genta sighed, his stomach also expressed its opinion, making Ayumi next to him laugh.

Mitsuhiko started complaining, saying that Yuantai had eaten four meat buns in the morning and was hungry again before nine o'clock.

"We will pass the Hamanako service area on the way. It is said that the eel rice there is very famous and all the eels are caught on the spot."

When Yuan Tai heard the words "eel rice", he was immediately intimidated and almost drooled. Miss Winnet generously said that she would treat them and that it was okay to eat as much as they wanted. There was a cheer in the car, and only Xiao Ai smiled faintly.

"Hamanako Service Area... I see."

Xiao Ai thought of the Spring and Autumn Travel Column Magazine, where she had seen related introductions. It was a very popular service area, close to the lakeside and the ocean, rich in eels, and had parks, beaches and aquariums. It was known as a sanctuary for lovers.

It seems that there are other considerations for choosing to drive there.

After arriving at the destination, Xiao Ai looked up at the indigo sky. It was cloudless, the air was clear and fresh, and the sea breeze blew from the south, bringing a hint of chill and a faint smell of cooking smoke.

There are souvenir shops everywhere, gathering the specialties of Ise, Mie and Nagoya, forming a dazzling street. As soon as they got off the car, Yuantai and the other two couldn't help but rush out and look at the sea from the slope.

"This will take up quite a bit of time."

"Well, as long as they are happy. According to Sonoko, Kaito Kid will most likely show up at 3 a.m. tomorrow. He will be sightseeing around in Osaka. This place is not bad either."

"Oh, doesn't someone have an ulterior motive? You must think this is a good date spot, where you can have a picnic with a tablecloth by the lake and spend some leisure time. I can see that you are very thoughtful. It really makes people feel relaxed here. However, don't always be so well prepared, or I will feel stressed."

"I think there might be some trouble in Osaka."

"Edogawa's Death God physique."

"That's right, every time I run into him, it's always a murder case. I'm so tense that I can't relax at all."

Winnet said this as if blaming Conan for always ruining the atmosphere.

In fact, Ai is not very interested in the turmoil caused by this egg. Edogawa had previously boasted that he would catch Kaito Kid, and the confrontation between the detective and the Kaito could barely be called interesting. However, what she cares more about is Winnet's enthusiasm for this matter.

Does she know Kaito Kid, or is she his enemy?

Although it is possible to ask about this matter in person, Winnet sometimes stands behind the sun and acts as a criminal, just as she has connections with many criminals, which makes people pay attention but not investigate further.

"And how long do you plan to stay?"

"One and a half hours. By the time we get to Osaka it will be around two in the afternoon. We can go to the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art to meet up with Sonoko and see the Russian treasure with our own eyes."

Winnet had already made plans in mind. She smiled and opened the trunk, then pulled out a wicker basket that looked like something you would bring for an outing.

"I brought a lunch box. Once we finish ordering at the restaurant, we can go to the lake for a picnic."

"Food delivery is also considered a picnic." Xiao Ai complained quietly, and was amused by Winnet's preparations.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Eel rice is fine. Isn't it a famous specialty?"

Xiao Ai pointed to the bustling eel rice shop next to the service area. Yuan Tai and the other two had already dragged Clyde to line up. The children were on holiday, so the traffic conditions were average today. There were also many people coming to the service area, but it was not the weekend, so it was not crowded overall.

Being in the service area feels like being on vacation.

Winnet handed the lunch box to Clyde and ran to the lakeshore to spread the cloth. In her small bag was a prepared vegetable salad, which had been soaked in warm water to keep it fresh. She also made a few thin steak sandwiches to go with the eel rice. She and Xiao Ai sat quietly and watched the scenery like the couples around them who were preparing for a picnic. On the shore, many couples took photos with cameras, and Xiao Ai was also asked to do so. Winnet waved ambiguously from behind.

Who said they, one big and one small, don't look like a couple?

Somewhat reluctantly taking the picture for others, Xiao Ai snatched Winnet's camera, turned around and pointed the lens at her, causing Winnet to sit up straight.

She moved the camera away from her eyes. “Am I taking some bad photo shoot, looking like a young woman being threatened by a thug?”

"what……"

"What? Relax a little, and try some seductive poses."

Ai held the camera and directed Winnett to sit sideways with her legs curled up until she found a good moment: "Well, very good."

Click!

At this time, Clyde, who was coaxing the children, came back with a plastic bag and a lunch box in his hands.
