When Genta saw Ai here, he complained, "Haibara is so deceitful." However, Ayumi was attracted by the lake view and trotted to the center of the grass.

"Haibara-san, let's take a photo too!"

Ayumi pulled Ai aside and suggested, then she murmured, "It would be nice if Conan was here too."

"Yeah, it's a pity that the doctor didn't come either," Mitsuhiko added.

Winnet called Dr. Agasa, but he said that he had a friend coming to see him, so he didn't go with them.

With Genta and Mitsuhiko squeezing in, it became a group photo of the Boy Detective Team.

Winnett was happy and relaxed, thinking that this was an alternative way to create memories for Ai, but because of her apparent vision problem, the photographer became Mr. Clyde. While he was taking pictures, there were young girls who hesitated whether to approach her, but when they saw Winnett, they all backed off. She was too lazy to clarify this misunderstanding, after all, they were both foreigners, and it was easy for people to have inertial thinking.

"Let's eat!" Yuantai picked up the eel rice.

He alone took up three parts, no wonder Clyde had a hard time carrying it, and as Yuan Taiping claimed, three bowls of eel rice were a piece of cake, Winnett also gave him a steak sandwich, and the others cut about one-third to share - eel rice is still a large portion. Winnett saw a shadow of herself in her teens, when she was also an emotionless glutton.

You have to stick to various trainings and be careful about your food intake. It's a pity that I didn't develop a strong body in the end.

After the meal, we drove for more than two hours and entered Osaka.

At the toll gate, Winette received a call from Sonoko, saying that the Maori family was already in her car and asked her where she was. They agreed to meet at the art museum.

While we were still on the road, a guy in a helmet appeared outside the car window and greeted us, with a girl sitting in the back.

Winnett lowered the window and saw the face under the helmet. The rider was Hattori Heiji, and he brought his childhood sweetheart Toyama Kazuha with him. He said hello to Winnett: "Are you guys going to the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art, too?"

"Yes."

The car was moving very fast, and Winnet shouted, barely able to maintain a conversation.

"Then let's go ahead!"

Hattori Heiji suddenly accelerated, and Toyama Kazuha behind him was so scared that she hugged his waist, and it was unknown whether it was accidental or intentional. Clyde, who was driving the car, also felt a little competitive, and since the road conditions were good, he stepped on the accelerator directly.

"Hold on tight!"

Winnet herself is a speed racer, so she has no feeling for this speed, and the back is a bit chaotic. They quickly caught up with Hattori, but did not drive side by side, but followed behind, drove into the branch road, and after passing two curved bends, they could already see the appearance of the art museum: it was oval like a radar, and the shape was a bit like a boomerang, connecting several bridge-shaped roads, and the shape was unique, which reminded Winnet of the research building when she saved Xiao Ai.

"There are so many helicopters!" Mitsuhiko leaned on the window and looked at the sky.

"It's heavily guarded."

Clyde turned the car's body and braked it, parking it diagonally to the side of another luxury car. Hattori's motorcycle had also been turned off. As soon as Winette got out of the car, she heard Sonoko and the others talking about Kaito Kidd.

"In my opinion, not even an ant can escape!" Kogoro sighed.

Sonoko raised a finger and said proudly, "Of course! Because the opponent is Kaito Kidd! He is——"

"The mysterious and free-changing phantom thief gentleman!"

Hattori Heiji suddenly interrupted the conversation and commented: "No matter how strict the defense is or how solid the vault is, he can crack it quickly like a miracle. He can even imitate the appearance and voice. He can be said to be a master of disguise."

He attracted the attention of several people and took off his helmet. Sonoko and others looked in his direction and noticed Winnett and her group who had just got off the car. Genta and the other two quickly ran to Conan's side, as if they had found their backbone.

"You've really run into a tough guy this time, haven't you, Kudo?"

He raised his face and called out Kudo.

Ai looked at him as if he were an idiot, glanced at Conan with displeasure, then walked with Winnet and joined the team.

Kogoro also doesn't like Heiji, but the one with a bigger reaction is Xiaolan, she spreads out her hands.

"Really? He's Conan!"

Facing Hattori with a strange look, Xiaolan stood in front of Conan and asked: "Why do you always call him Kudo?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Hattori scratched the back of his head quickly, then leaned forward and pointed his index finger at Conan, "Because this little guy's eyes look like Kudo, I called out unconsciously."

"That's right. Edogawa looks a lot like Kudo Shinichi. They both have common faces."

Xiao Ai stepped out from behind Winnett, providing cover while sharply complaining: "If you randomly pick anyone on the street, they will look like him."

Conan looked constipated.

Haha, I’m really sorry for having such an ordinary face!

Winette also felt that although he was not at the level of having a face everywhere, he looked very similar to Kaito Kid. Not only that, half a year before Kudo Shinichi became popular, a barber shop launched a model of him. Maybe the reason why Gin didn't have much impression of Kudo Shinichi was because his face was too common.

"That's right!" Hattori nodded in agreement, trying to get away with it.

"It's like an idiot."

Behind him, Toyama Kazuha looked up and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "You were shouting 'Kudo is coming! Kudo is coming!' early this morning. I think you'd better go see a doctor."

"Are they in that kind of relationship?" Xiao Ai put the back of her hand on her left cheek.

"That shouldn't be the case." Winnet said awkwardly.

"I was just kidding, why are you answering seriously?"

……

"Is he the high school detective Hattori Heiji from Kansai?" Sonoko asked Xiaolan quietly, and then said with a little surprise, "He's quite handsome."

"No, Sonoko. He and Kazuha are childhood sweethearts. Even though they often bicker, they have a very good relationship!"

As soon as Xiaolan opened her mouth, she saw Sonoko raise her right hand and make a "pass" gesture.

“You can tell by looking at it!”

Sonoko said with a matter-of-fact expression, as if she was talking about what she had eaten: "You and Shinichi are the same, exactly the same."

"Eh..." Xiaolan was stunned for a moment and looked at Hattori and Kazuha who were arguing. She saw the shadow of herself and Kudo Shinichi in the two of them. Then she realized that she had said something stupid and her face turned slightly red.

Sonoko hugged her shoulders and continued in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Ah, I also want a childhood sweetheart!"

As Sonoko spoke, she acted like a dizzy noble lady, staggered to Winnet's side, and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I only have Miss Winnett to rely on!"

With an exaggerated expression of compassion and a strange dramatic tone, Sonoko leaned on Winnet's shoulder and said, "We are the only two single people left. The 'driver' over there has found a boyfriend, and even that kid with glasses is surrounded by girls... Oh, when will I meet my Mr. Right?"

Although Sonoko's performance was very funny, her words offended both Winnet and Ai. Winnet was not angry about such a joke, she comforted Sonoko instead:

"As long as you keep looking forward to a new day and are full of energy, you will definitely meet him soon."

“It’s so healing!”

Sonoko hugged Winnett and gave her a gentle hug: "If I were a boy, I would definitely want to pursue you!"

Winnet smiled shyly, not taking Sonoko's words seriously - she always did what she wanted - sometimes the object was her, sometimes it was Xiaolan, but in the end she still followed her own "handsome guy standard" from the heart. In short, Sonoko had a lot of resentment towards love, even though she was only a high school student.

However, there is no concept of premature love in Japan, so she could still understand it. It is normal for her to feel a little excited when she sees other people and Xiaolan showing their affection since she was a child.

"Why do you look so fierce?"

Sonoko noticed that Ai was staring at her from below with an expression that said "unhappy", so she leaned forward and smiled at her:

"I see. You like Miss Winnett too, right? Then I'll lend it to you!"

Winnet pointed at herself in confusion.

Have I become an object? Can I still be pushed around?

Xiao Ai's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself:

"It's mine..."

Sonoko put her hands behind her back and took a step towards the art gallery, looking around at everyone.

After confirming that the scheduled guests and unexpected guests were all present, she called out:

"Then let's go in quickly, little brats, hurry up and follow us!"

On the way, Sonoko introduced the driver who had just driven her to Winnett.

This Mr. Nishino was her father's assistant. He wore glasses, had small eyes, and looked gentle. Winnet had never seen him before. Through Yuanzi, she learned that Mr. Nishino had only recently returned to Japan. Before that, he had been wandering around the world and was proficient in Russian, French, Spanish and other languages. He was a rare talent.

At the entrance of the museum, Mr. Nishino said goodbye first. He was going to the preservation room to get the egg of memory, and Sonoko was the one who led the way.

"It's bright inside." Winnett looked around. The decoration of the art gallery was quite gorgeous, reminiscent of the tones of Victorian rooms.

She still remembers the layout of the Beihua Art Museum. Although the exhibits were outstanding in style, the decoration was far behind. Walking in the museum, every step felt like walking on a carpet. The surroundings were decorated with armor statues, which were gorgeous and solemn, and somewhat like the exhibition room of the nobles of the last century.

However, the art museum is not open to the public yet and seems a bit empty. Yuanzi led them to a sign that said "No entry for non-staff members" and then took an elevator to an independent space in the air. Then they walked through a long corridor with rooms on both sides. At the end, there was a conspicuous Chinese sign that read "President's Room".

"The bright European-style design always reminds me of a hotel..." Winnett noticed that no one else reacted to this, as if she was the only one who felt like a country girl coming to the city.

When we got closer to the president's office, the golden door opened automatically, as if it was using some kind of sensing technology, which is a costly cutting-edge technology in this era.

As for the room, there were four people sitting around the sofa, including Suzuki Shiro, the chairman of the Suzuki Group and Sonoko's father. Except for a man wearing a fancy shirt that looked like he was wearing it for a beach vacation, the rest of the people were quite solemn. When Suzuki Shiro saw Maori Kogoro walking in the front, he immediately stood up to greet him and thanked him for coming from afar.

"Hello." Kogoro shook hands with him.

Then he greeted Xiaolan and Winnet, and looked at Conan who had fought with Kid.

The Junior Detective Team took advantage of this opportunity to make their presence felt and expressed their willingness to assist in capturing Kid. Only Ai was not very interested and said nothing.

"That's really reliable!" Shiro Suzuki smiled kindly, and immediately noticed the two Hattori standing at the end.

"Garden."

Suzuki Shiro, who saw Hattori for the first time, motioned for Sonoko to introduce them: "Who are these two?"

"They are Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, Dad." Sonoko leaned out in front of Kogoro and introduced, "Heiji is known as the high school detective in the west, and he is very famous in the network!"

"That's great. I'll be counting your help." Shiro Suzuki smiled and waved at the two of them.

"Oh, leave it to me, uncle." Hattori also waved in response.

The assembled lineup of detectives can bring a certain degree of reassurance, which is also the result of the repeated failures of the Second Investigation Section represented by Officer Nakamori in targeting Kaito Kid.

During the last farce at Tokyo Tower, Investigation Section 2 was not even able to get involved. However, due to her intervention, Investigation Section 1 got involved instead, and in the end they only arrested the black market dealers who forged gemstones—most of whom were dead.

"You little brat, how dare you call President Suzuki old man!" Kogoro shouted at Hattori. The last incident in the office and at the diplomat's house was enough to make him unhappy.

"It's okay, it's okay! Mr. Maori!"

President Suzuki mediated and immediately raised his hand to introduce a tall foreign man sitting opposite the door: "Let me introduce you, this is the first secretary of the Russian Embassy, ​​Siruov Chinikov."

"Please give me your guidance." The big gray-haired man stood up and smiled.

"This guy next door is the art dealer I hired, Mr. Ganjiang Yi."

The art dealer was an elderly man, and he nodded slightly.

After that, there was another beauty dressed in Chinese style, who made Winnet look at her twice more. It was not because she was drooling over her beauty, but because she was wearing a crimson purple dress that was similar to a long gown, with buttons shaped like Phalaenopsis. Even the style of having no bangs and combing her hair back made her feel familiar.

"She is the Romanov dynasty researcher, Pu Siqinglan."

"Hello."

Pu Siqinglan replied in Chinese.

Winnet was a little confused. She had never heard of the surname Pu Si. As for the surname Pu, there are many people with the surname Pu, and there are many celebrities who can be easily named.

She didn't ask in person, but looked at the last person.

"Also, he is Mr. Ryu Kanakawa, a freelance video writer who applied to shoot the treasure."

Compared with the other solemn guests, he behaved very casually. He raised the video recorder and aimed it at Kogoro who was talking with President Suzuki.

Out of curiosity, Kogoro asked about the price of identifying the Egg of Memory.

"800 million yen," Qian Jiangyi, the art dealer, quoted the price, "If you're willing to sell it, I can raise it a little more."

His words made the Russian diplomat beside him anxious. Siruov said quickly: "President, this is a Russian product. Instead of selling it to such a black marketeer without vision, it would be better to send it to us and let our Russian Art Museum preserve it."

"What, you said I have no taste!?"

Seeing how eager they were to grab the egg, Hanchuan Long, who was holding the camera, couldn't help laughing and joked, "Photographing people is more fun than photographing the egg."

"You look like it's none of your business."

He stood up, as if the matter was not serious enough, and pointed his finger at Pu Siqinglan who remained silent like a jokester: "Logically speaking, you are a researcher of the Romanov dynasty, and you should want this egg more than anyone else."

Pu Siqinglan was hurt by his provocation and admitted with embarrassment:

"You're right, but I don't have 800 million yen on me."

"That's true," he brushed his bangs, looking like he deserved a beating, "even I can only come up with 200 million."

"Let's talk about it another day."
