“This is indeed a good sign.”

Winnet thought. Conan quickly changed back to Kudo Shinichi and recognized Xiaolan. This was the most comfortable development. She was sure that Gin had long thrown him out of the sky. Only he was like a young man who didn't understand the fun of life, always chasing after the organization. An insignificant little person like him, who just saw Gin, was nothing special, just like other people who were lucky enough to see Gin and were still alive.

No, there was something special about it, because he was on the list of people taking medication. But anyway, he had an ordinary face, and with a fake identity, no one would take him seriously, and he could also stay away from her Xiao Ai - he might as well go abroad with Xiao Lan to get married and settle down.

"I think this refers to you and Shinichi."

Sonoko expressed everyone's thoughts.

After hearing Hattori mention Kudo Shinichi many times, Toyama Kazuha also became interested in him: "Let me meet him next time when I'm free."

Xiaolan blushed.

Immediately, they turned their attention to the lot that Winnett had drawn. After hearing that it was a bad omen, even He Ye had a strange look on his face.

I have never drawn a bad lottery in my life... Her expression said this. Winette spread out the paper in her hand and showed it to Sonoko and the others. Sonoko immediately looked very sorry:

"I was the one who brought you here, Miss Winnett...Is there going to be any problem?"

"It's okay," Winette admired Yuanzi's kindness and simplicity. She smiled and said, "I'm a pastor. The Almighty Lord will protect me."

Influenced by the nuns, she still prayed to the Lord Jehovah most of the time. This did not have much of an impact, as the concept of the Trinity was clear even to people who did not understand religion.

"Should I go to the church and pray? It would be great if I could find a handsome boyfriend." Sonoko murmured. She thought of how Winette was safe and sound at the hands of the murderer (Numabuchi) last time, and felt that Christianity was also very effective.

During this somewhat embarrassing conversation for Winnett, there were two people who were always outside the crowd. Conan and Hattori stood far away, discussing something in secret. The Junior Detective Team noticed this and took on the task of scouts, going up to insert themselves between the two - they believed that Conan was hiding something from them again - every time.

Conan, who was entangled, also revealed the contents of the signature paper.

Xiaoji.

“An ordinary sign.”

Xiao Ai, who was walking over, also took a look and gave a brief comment.

"We are all Xiaoji, maybe we can catch Kaito Kid in one fell swoop!" Mitsuhiko said.

How is this possible? Conan had this expression on his face.

Winnet took a look at the specific content. In the travel column, Edogawa's signature read: The secret will be revealed.

"The fortunes from this shrine are pretty accurate," Hattori said, as he is also a Koji. "But if it's Koji, I have no idea how the match with Kid will go."

Seeing this group of troublesome little devils, Hattori didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He originally wanted to discuss the secret code with Kudo.

"It's still early. How should I kill time before three in the morning?" He said to himself, thinking for a while, "Let's go somewhere to eat something delicious first."

His words resonated with Yuantai.

Of course, Winnet would not let the Junior Detective Team mess around with the two of them. She brought them up, and if something went wrong, it would be difficult to explain to their parents. After spending these days together, she also realized that the Junior Detective Team's ability to commit suicide was at the MAX level. It was only because of good luck that they could escape danger every time. Winnet even wondered if they also had divine help, just like the Hallelujah Giant.

"It would be better if we act together?" Winnett said, looking towards Xiaolan.

"Miss Winnet, please take care of them."

Hattori said to her, and then shouted to Kazuha in the distance: "Kazuha, please entertain them."

"What about you, Heiji?"

"As for me, I will be responsible for entertaining him."

Hattori raised his thumb and pointed at Conan.

"Why? Come with us."

"It's better for boys to be with other boys, right?" Hattori squatted down and patted Conan's shoulder. When he was about to call his name, he started with the Chinese character "工" again, and then showed a constipated expression, "Ko, Ko... Conan."

Mitsuhiko and Genta pointed at themselves.

They are boys too.

"It's really strange, why are they so close?" Xiaolan also looked puzzled. Although they had met several times, they were too familiar with each other. They always stayed together in a mysterious way, and it was the same when they came to Osaka last time.

Sonoko didn't care about it at all. She felt that without Conan, the troublemaker, she could have fun.

"What does it matter? Leave him alone, Xiaolan."

Sonoko held up a finger, "Let's get together as girls and find some cool guys to treat us to a meal!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko looked at themselves again.

"In that case, I'll take these kids out to eat something." Winnett didn't want to join either party and take on the responsibility of taking care of the children. "Just tell me what you want to eat. I'll treat you."

390 Answer & Feed

After they parted, Winette called Clyde and asked him to come over while he was relaxing. He complained a little and said that he had not finished the drinks he ordered at the bar.

While waiting for the bus, Winnet led the children towards the station. She suggested taking a walk around Osaka Castle. The trio was very excited, and when they saw Kamen Rider passing by, they ran excitedly. Ai took this opportunity to pull the corner of Winnet's clothes.

"Why did you choose to separate from them?"

"No, I don't want to be approached by boys. I can consider girls, but those who do that are carnivorous. I prefer quiet and gentle women."

"Really? I'm so sorry, I'm not quiet or gentle!"

Xiao Ai crossed her arms and turned her head away.

Winnet smiled lightly, without much explanation. In her opinion, Xiao Ai perfectly fits these requirements. She behaves elegantly and works attentively. As for gentleness, she never judges it based on appearance. She knows that Xiao Ai is gentle and kind at heart, and knows how to consider others. However, it would be too embarrassing to say it bluntly. She brushed Xiao Ai's hair that was messed up by the wind, and then told Yuanta and the others not to look around on the road... About five minutes later, Clyde's car parked sideways, and they headed to Osaka Castle.

Frankly speaking, it wasn't very shocking to the senses. The wall was not very high, and tourists were not allowed to climb it at many places. They walked around the outer edge and then went to the castle tower in the center, the tallest tower in Osaka Castle.

Winnet looked up and could see the tall buildings in the distance, which were much taller than the Osaka Tower. It was not until she climbed to the top of the tower and used the telescope that she had a sense of looking down at the city. The novelty of the scenery wore off, and the children began to miss the special food in Osaka. Winnet also visited all of them, but did not find anything special. If she only associated the castle tower with the contents of Kidd's notice because of the lights at night, it would be somewhat one-sided.

"Well, let's go to Dotonbori and try some Osaka food."

"Great!"

Dotonbori is the birthplace of Osaka's food culture symbol "eat until you can't walk", and the area is full of restaurants and snacks, which makes people look forward to it.

"Are you still thinking about the thief's notice?" Xiao Ai asked casually when she saw her thinking. Winnet knew that she couldn't hide this kind of thing from her, so she frankly admitted that the reason they came here was more or less related to this matter.

"The glowing sky attic... This is the last sentence. It is very likely that the place will glow only after a certain date and time. As for Osaka Castle, I have seen it on TV before. It is brightly lit every day, regardless of summer, winter, cold or hot."

Xiao Ai sighed slightly and said, "Huh, why didn't I realize before that you were so interested in guessing riddles."

"Are you saying that I've been infected by these detectives?"

"No, they can't influence your thinking. You want to find Kaito Kidd, and the reason is definitely not for the egg. I don't know what you are going to do. If it is as you said, then the time of the second sentence is also given a special meaning. The time given by the confused detective is probably wrong... In this way, no one knows when he will appear." She frowned slightly and pursed her lips, but kept staring at Winnett. "Wait, I remember that the first sentence of this puzzle is exactly twelve words, right?"

Well, from The Lion at Dusk to The Maiden at Dawn... ending in Japanese, the twelfth character is へ - she had read the contents of the preview letter before, and there was no pseudonym on it. Now she thought there was another intention. But if that were the case, it would be too much of a brain teaser, but it would be much more reliable than counting from the beginning of the English alphabet. After all, Kaito Kid is very young, and as a thief, he wouldn't put too much effort into the puzzle. She agreed with Ai's idea and said, "If it's へ, then the time it represents is..."

"Seven twenty!"

Winnet and Ai looked at each other and told the specific time at the same time.

Seven twenty! Winette thought, the place that will light up at seven twenty. Since the time is limited to minutes, it is definitely not referring to the castle tower that is always lit, but a place that will light up within ten minutes. She didn't know this place well, and just knowing this news was far from enough. Edogawa didn't have a cell phone, so she had no idea where he went, and the possibility of handing over the mess was also ruined.

She began to feel embarrassed. Seeing this, Xiao Ai told her not to worry about them and go investigate. She was stunned, and Xiao Ai tilted her head towards the window and said, "As long as you check the Internet and stand high enough to take a look around, you will have a rough idea in your mind, right? I can only say that you will not have a good meal today, but with Xiaodao-san here, we will help you eat your share."

"Ah," she said with a smile, "I'll just run away then. But thanks to my little Ai, I was able to solve this puzzle. Um..." She paused, wondering how to make up for today's fun. "It's a little regrettable this time, but I've already thought of a surprise. When the time comes, I'll take you, little Ai, to have a good time."

Winnett thought about the amusement park project that Durant was cooperating with. She was also one of the shareholders. It was not a problem for her to get some personal treatment. However, someone would have to take away the little detectives who were in the way. Otherwise, she would be stuck with Xiao Ai all day and she would have no chance to be intimate with her secretly. Thinking of this, she felt a little excited, but she still focused her eyes on the present.

Ai said, "It's hard to have fun even if you play like this. Why don't you wait until I develop the antidote and then have some fun."

"Uh, this-"

"Yes, that's what you think. Have you thought about it?"

Ai was hinting at something, and Winnet understood but pretended not to understand. However, Ai's eyes were lively and teasing, just like when he said he loved her in the small room, but when such a private matter was brought out in the open, it still had a big impact on Winnet. She felt that she was teasing her, and perhaps she wanted to make her blush and panic.

She didn't answer, but turned and walked up the stairs. Xiao Ai waved and walked slowly towards the elevator to join the Junior Detective Team and Clyde. She only knew Clyde's identity, the criminal in the headless case on the ship. Unfortunately, he was a lousy Spanish detective at the time and his crime was not uncovered. Later, he was recruited by Winnet as his subordinate. She signaled him with her eyes, so he began to enthusiastically tell the children what he saw in the Osaka tourist brochure, such as the Saishin Bridge and the big shopping mall. When Xiao Ai integrated into the group, Mitsuhiko and the others remembered to ask where Winnet was.

After spending these days together, they also knew that Winnet and Ai were closer. Conan explained that Winnet and Ai's parents knew each other, and plus, Ai had obvious foreign ancestry, making this statement quite impeccable.

"She suddenly received a call from a friend who said she was in Osaka and wanted to meet up, so she left first." Ai made up an excuse, "She said she would meet up with us later, so it's better for her to focus on the food now."

As she said that, Xiao Ai looked at Clyde: "This uncle will treat us to a delicious meal, right?"

Clyde's smile was slightly stiff, and he nodded, finally knowing why his young lady could never do anything to her. He raised his hands enthusiastically like the children, humming an unknown country tune, and playing the Kamen Rider radio in the car. After living in Japan for a long time, he couldn't help but find some hobbies, special effects and animation being one of them. Kamen Rider fights for justice, which makes him feel a little bit of resonance, but his methods are too naive. The monsters in the world will not be reformed just because of a failure, and they are far from being as simple as the monsters in the animation.

……

After leaving the castle tower, Winnett randomly found an Internet cafe nearby.

Her presence always attracted other people's attention. However, it was not annoying at all, and I gradually got used to it.

The keywords she searched for were, of course, date and time. It was difficult to find any useful information if she searched to the minute, but a fuzzy search at seven o'clock soon yielded an unexpected result.

Weather changes.

Yesterday's weather forecast predicted sunny weather, but it could not cover the whole day's conditions. For example, today, the weather changed. The online weather news predicted that it would rain between 7:10 and 7:30.

A tower for predicting weather... Tsutenkaku.

After coming to the conclusion, Winnet felt that it was not interesting. It was a rather boring puzzle. The Japanese police were too self-righteous. They assumed a location and completely ignored other possibilities. No wonder the thieves succeeded repeatedly. After knowing the answer to the puzzle, Winnet was a little unsure about what to do now. If she appeared as a "masked death god", what was her purpose? Fighting for the egg of memory? Moreover, this could not link this identity with the organization - it was not enough to make people suspicious.

If it was just to increase his fame, then it would be a very good opportunity. Taking things from the police and Kidd, plus the short-lived experience before, was enough to get into the police's sight. This kind of highly publicized incident would most likely be broadcast on TV, and the FBI, which pays attention to crime and searches for traces of organizations, has no reason not to know about it; next time, add the suspicion of the organization, and preparation will be enough.

"I don't know if those two detective boys have solved it."

Winnet murmured and decided to call the Suzuki Museum anonymously, of course around seven o'clock. She would not give them too much preparation time, otherwise the show would not be effective enough.

With an idea in mind, Winnet contacted Clyde and found Ai and the others in a roast beef shop.

Winette immediately felt that these kids were very cunning. She looked at the price list and saw that what they ordered was definitely the most expensive. However, the store was not too high-end, so you get what you pay for.

Xiao Ai picked up a piece of grilled beef tongue and handed it to Winnet. "This is quite delicious," she fed it to her mouth, "How is it?"

Seeing this, Mitsuhiko grumbled, "They are really close."

"Really? This is quite common among girls."

Ai even replied, which immediately made Mitsuhiko, who was whispering, feel embarrassed. Ayumi looked at them thoughtfully.

Winnett thought that Ai was not going for the friendly route, and this was indeed a bit out of place. Ayumi's reaction might just be to get along well with Ai. In Japan, it is quite common for girls of the same age to call each other by their names, not just in the traditional academy for young ladies. Just look at Xiaolan and Sonoko. She actually took advantage of her age and could call them by their names.

Otherwise, she could only call her Haibara... Winette didn't like the name given by Ai, it was too pessimistic, but she couldn't call her Miyano Shiho, and the name she called most often, Shirley, also became a taboo.

Soon, Ayumi made a sound with a little shyness. She asked, "Can I also... can I get along well with you, Haibara-san?"

Ai was caught off guard, "It's okay with me. Why? Do you want me to feed you too?"

"No, no, that's not what I'm talking about."

Ayumi shook her head in panic. The two little boys next to her looked stupid, and no one knew what was going on in their heads.

If you want to be fed by Ai.

Miss Winnet doesn't mind twisting their heads off. Okay, just kidding... Miss Winnet is bitter. She used to have a name but no substance, but now she has substance but no name.

"So that's it..."

Ai thought that Ayumi probably wanted to call her by her name and have more contact with her. But——

"This still needs to be done step by step. Although I have a good relationship with her, I actually used to hate her."

Xiao Ai said sincerely that what she said before was indeed the case. The identity of the organization alone was enough to make her hate it, not to mention that she was a person who seemed to have a "bloodthirsty" hobby. Except for her harmless face, she was like a character from a dark fairy tale. In the past, Winnet was entangled by a person who claimed to be a horror film director; it was not that she did not want to have a better relationship with Ayumi, but her identity was sensitive. Whether she turned back into an adult or died, one day she would disappear from their sight, and the deepening of this relationship would only increase the sadness.

The only one who could stay with her for a long time was Winnett.

"Is that so..." Ayumi was disappointed for less than three seconds before she cheered up immediately, "Well, I will try my best!"

Seeing how innocent the child was, Ai couldn't bear to make things worse, so she just put the freshly grilled meat into Ayumi's bowl.

Winnett thinks that it's okay to have a good relationship with Ayumi. She knows what Ai is thinking and what she should do - gradually help Ai get rid of this worry. She also joins the "foodie camp" and teases Clyde to pay the bill to liven up the atmosphere.

Well, the taste is really good, but a little bland.

Miss Winnet's sweet tooth is quite unusual among Japanese people. The various local sweet foods are completely unable to bring any sweet shock to Miss Winnet.

……

391 Mysterious Masked Man (Fog)

Before the evening, Winnett asked Clyde to take the children to the commercial center of Osaka, saying that her friend asked her to buy some special products from Osaka. They thought that since they were in the same place, they did not stop Winnett from leaving. She found the car, opened the trunk, and took out the costume props and weapons that she had prepared in advance, which were packed in a black briefcase.

Winnet took a shortcut and completed her disguise in an empty alley, with a mask, windbreaker, grappling hook, and a short blade. She didn't have a gun ready, and if she opened fire in downtown Osaka, the problem would escalate to the point where other police officers would need to be dispatched.

Whenever possible, Winnet never liked to add unexpected elements, which might disrupt her vision. She ran through the streets at night, crossing the busy roads, like a pure black phantom, wandering among them. Most people did not notice her, and those who saw her only took a quick glance and never had a chance to see the shadow that passed by. She was still a short distance away from Tsutenkaku. At this time, the sky lit up with colorful colors. She glanced at the big clock in the building next to her. The time was exactly 7:20.

It is obvious who started this fireworks show.
