Winnet knew him quite well. He was just bluffing now. A mere shoulder injury would not cause much loss to her fighting power.
At the moment when Conan received the egg of memories, Winnet got in the car and started the engine. The people watching the excitement around had no intention of stopping her, because she was just confronting Kaito Kid, and the "masked death god" rumored on the Internet was just regarded as a performance art. The people she actually killed in the East Capital Tower were not spread as news by the police. How could ordinary people dare to offend a little-known murderer who had a back-and-forth with Kaito Kid? Winnet basically did not encounter any obstacles along the way, except for the little tail on the skateboard behind her.
"Really, I have to suffer a little."
Winnett used her injured arm to steady the steering wheel, and with her other hand she opened the side window and threw two bombs to the back. At the same time, she checked the road conditions ahead, climbed over the broken window to the roof, and used the hook to leap onto the quick access stairs of a building.
Conan was blown away by the bomb and fell on the road. He saw the large vehicle breaking through the fence in front and sinking into the Osaka Bay.
He snorted angrily and punched the ground with his fist: "Damn it!"
He had already heard the sound of alarm bells, and it was just a matter of seconds. If he could hold that guy back a little longer, his investigation into the dark organization might make a major breakthrough.
"Alas," he said dejectedly, "at least the egg was saved."
Looking at the egg in his hand, Conan didn't feel happy at all. He looked at the policeman who came in and out of the police car to ask him if there was anything he wanted.
……
393 Too unstable
Winnett packed her bag, packing up her gear. For a moment, she looked sideways, trying to move her injured arm, making sure nothing was wrong. She assessed the wound, feeling the pinch, because she couldn't remove the bullet herself, leaving it inside would cause infection. She took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, strolled through the brief peace brought by the chanting of the Lord, and gently closed her eyes. She found a phone booth and called Clyde.
At that time, dinner was almost finished. As Winnett expected, the commotion that had just happened was enough to dominate the pages of tomorrow's news, and it had been passed on to the police and the Suzuki family through Conan's mouth. Clyde used her phone to communicate with Sonoko. Since Hattori and Conan were both injured, the Junior Detective Team was also eager to return home and wanted to check on Conan's condition.
Winnet walked away from Osaka Bay and entered the area where power had not yet been restored. She told the other party the buildings that could be used as coordinates and put a wet towel on her shoulder. She gently wiped the wound. The pain was something she was used to. It seemed that her bones were injured and it was not very smooth when she stretched. If she was alone, this little injury would not attract her attention, but with Xiao Ai around, she might be noticed. She had no intention of concealing her injuries, but she didn't like being tested by the fortune paper at the shrine, because it was as if her fate was controlled by something. At the same time, an immoral and transgressive thought emerged in her mind: even the Lord Jehovah should not examine and control her.
Disgust, arrogance, love.
The wound will heal in just half a month, so there is no need for Xiao Ai to worry about her.
A familiar horn sounded.
Clyde was prepared and lowered the car window. He was slightly stunned when he saw Winnett with her right arm bare and the palm print on the car window.
"You are hurt?"
He opened the car door hastily.
She heard his question but ignored it. This was very common, and she really didn't need to explain. Anyway, as long as she continued this lifestyle for another day, she would encounter all kinds of situations. He soon realized that his reaction was a bit excessive, so he just searched the trunk and took out a medical kit. He didn't have a deep understanding of medical treatment. He could treat injuries, but he couldn't pick bullets. He immediately thought of someone who was extremely proficient in this, and happened to be someone who had a deep connection with this young lady.
"Do you want me to ask her to come..."
"No need."
Winnett's voice trembled as she spoke. She thought of Xiao Ai's previous request that she should be careful not to hurt herself over the years. She thought that even if she was hurt, Xiao Ai would only complain a few words and then help her deal with it. But deep down, she didn't want this to happen, as it would touch Xiao Ai's sensitive nerves.
Shirley is a glass girl.
This was something she had already known.
No matter how much she emphasizes the word "danger" verbally and cognitively, as long as she has not witnessed it with her own eyes, she will be optimistic. Those who kneel down and beg for mercy in front of the enemy also have a similar mentality. The metaphor may not be appropriate, but as long as she does not show this in front of Xiao Ai, she will not think about what happened behind the scenes and explore what kind of danger she is facing.
Clyde understood and didn't understand, and just thought Winette was just a strong-willed person. If it were him, he would definitely do it without reservation if someone supported him from behind.
"But this is a gunshot wound! We can't find a reliable private clinic here."
Winnett took out the gauze from the medical kit and bandaged the wound. She bit one end with her teeth to stop the bleeding again. Although it would cause foreign body inflammation if left in the body, it would only last for a day or two at most. When she returned to Tokyo, she could ask Dr. Cheng Shi to help deal with it. The wound caused by Walter, who was only 100 joules, had a cavity effect that was not serious enough to cause permanent consequences. In addition, there was one thing she had long been concerned about. In this world, the power of guns did not seem to be as great as she had expected. Not only that, people's recovery ability was also considerable.
A few drops of sweat appeared on her forehead, and Winnet found a tissue to wipe it.
Seeing her skillful handling, Clyde stopped talking and drove her to the residence prepared by Suzuki Sonoko. During the journey, she found a rope and made a flower rope by herself to test her flexibility in order to cope with the subsequent cover-up.
The car was parked in the garage of a villa. Sonoko and Xiaolan opened the curtains of the French windows and walked out of the yard to greet Winnett, telling her about the experience of Kaito Kidd and the regret of not meeting him in person. "Uncle's prediction of the time turned out to be wrong, what a pity," Sonoko said with the demeanor of a sad and young girl, "Why! Why do I always miss Mr. Kidd!"
The last time at the villa where magic lovers gathered, Sonoko also missed the opportunity to meet Kid face to face.
"That masked man is so abominable! He actually attacked a kid like Conan. If I meet him, I will definitely beat him up." Xiaolan was filled with righteous indignation.
Then she struck a karate stance to show her determination.
Winnett didn't know how to respond, so she just glanced at Xiao Ai who was standing on the inside of the French window with her arms crossed.
She asked about Conan's condition. Xiaolan said that they were just scratches. The doctor of the Suzuki family had already checked and there was no accident, but his body was still wrapped in several layers of gauze. From Xiaolan's worried expression, it can be seen that she has already taught Conan a lesson for taking the initiative to take risks - but it obviously has no effect - his suicidal behavior will not stop. Sonoko also comforted her, saying that Conan is lucky and has a long life.
"But the man in black and mask is pretty handsome too. Some people on the Internet call him the Masked Grim Reaper! That's pretty cool!"
"Garden!"
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding! I don't like people who use violence against children."
Sonoko teases Xiaolan and talks about the video on the Internet. The scene of her confrontation with Kid was uploaded to the Internet. According to Sonoko, it has been viewed more than 300,000 times in just one hour, and even the police have begun to investigate the "Masked Grim Reaper".
However, Kidd is the one who attracts more attention.
The police began the search overnight, patrolling and fishing at sea, trying to find the whereabouts of Kaito Kid.
Winnett didn't think it would be effective. As long as he was good at swimming and had the ability to disguise himself that was comparable to Vermouth's, it would be easy for him to escape.
Compared to him, Winnet was more concerned about the shooter. If she hadn't reacted at the time, the bullet was obviously aimed at the head - more precisely, at the right eye. Maybe he wanted to hit the part that was not protected by the mask, or maybe the shooter was a slightly paranoid person with his own shooting standards. Winnet was more inclined to the latter.
She remembered that there was a faint smell of blood on Kaito Kid.
It is likely that he had been nearly sniped before she was attacked, and simply concealed the wound in front of her - using a top hat and a monocle.
Thinking of this, Winette stopped pursuing the matter. Since the killer was after the eggs, she would not become a secondary target, and Xiao Ai would not be in danger. She was no longer at the age to spend energy to find the killer for a trivial gunshot wound. However, she still had to be vigilant. If the killer was lurking around and watching secretly, people who accidentally discovered his identity would be in danger.
"But then again, why did that person confront Lord Kidd?" Sonoko asked.
Xiaolan said subconsciously according to normal thinking: "It should be for the egg of memories."
"But he didn't take the egg away." Sonoko said, "He even gave the egg to Conan."
At this point, Xiaolan didn't know how to explain it. The purpose of the mysterious masked man was also mysterious, which was not difficult to accept. Sonoko turned her eyes to Winnett, and seemed to want to consult her opinion.
"Maybe he has a grudge against Kaito Kid," she said casually, "or maybe he is a killer hired by someone to deal with Kaito Kid."
Yuanzi nodded quietly. She listened to Winnet's words and felt that they made sense, so she commented on the third person who had intervened. His purpose was easy to understand, and it was closely related to the egg of memory.
"Miss Winnet, are you okay? You seem to be in low spirits...are you sleepy?"
The more attentive Sonoko noticed that Winnet was a little absent-minded. She stopped muttering and told Winnet the location of the villa room. She also said that if she needed anything, she could call Mr. Nishino and he would be on standby here.
Winnet shook her head. It was still a little early to go to bed at this hour.
"No, I was distracted. Frankly, it's because—"
She pointed to the window. Xiao Ai was wearing a nightgown, her hair was wet and fluffy, she had glasses on her nose, and she was holding a travel diary in her hand, but it was not opened.
"Oh, Miss Winnet," Sonoko teased slightly exaggeratedly, "How did you tame this girl? I feel like she's cold to everyone except you... like one of those sexually apathetic women who focuses on her career."
In Sonoko's eyes, Ai is full of thorns, difficult to approach, and extremely sharp. However, although her evaluation is not very pleasant, it is particularly convincing and makes people care.
This description... Winette saw Xiao Ai frowning. Yuanzi's view was also unique. She felt a little funny, because of a subtle feeling.
Finally, Xiao Ai sighed and slowly walked into the courtyard.
"You really make me worried."
Winnett supported her knees with her hands and faced Xiaoai. Xiaoai tilted her head and squinted her eyes, as if she wanted to see her clearly.
"This invitation is a bit sudden."
She hinted slightly.
The explanation given by Sonoko and the others was the same as the excuse they used at the time. At the time of the incident, Xiaolan and the others were in Dotonbori, and when they gathered, they also received the news. Judging from the time, Winnet's return was not too late.
She changed the subject.
"How many are they?"
"If you mean the little kids captured by the gaming equipment, they are having fun in the room." Xiao Ai curled her hair and replied.
Under the gaze of Xiaolan and Sonoko, she pulled Winnet into the villa and walked up the stairs. They had a good relationship, and the others had already agreed on this point, and Sonoko didn't feel strange. When she passed the corner, Xiaoai's expression changed significantly, like a judge appearing in a story, solemn and emotional. Winnet was obviously taller, but she now felt strangely looked down upon.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" she asked.
Winnet really didn't want to say it. She shook her head and nodded in confusion, as if she had no idea what Xiao Ai was referring to.
She thought Xiao Ai would be slow to realize it, because she didn't like to pay attention to gossip on the Internet. It was troublesome to actively load too much information. Xiao Ai once told her that in this era, Internet garbage has begun to run rampant, and its users are screened. As for the news broadcast, that would be at least tomorrow, and they were already on their way back.
Sonoko said her father has decided to stop the exhibition and plans to send the eggs back to Touto to check for damage.
Although it is fairly solid as a work of art, it has been handled several times and has been through many twists and turns in one night, like an unlucky character who has suffered a series of disasters. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up. As for the way of travel, just as the Suzuki family has made a big fuss - they will take the Suzuki back by water. Compared with the winding land route like an elliptical ring, the water route is straighter and the speed is basically the same as taking a car.
"Any clues?" Winnet asked with a smile, as if she was playing a guessing game.
Ai nodded helplessly, put on the hood of her pajamas, and posed like a role-playing pose. Winnet recognized this pose, so she couldn't laugh. It was similar to what she did when she chopped up Conan's football.
It seems that Xiao Ai has watched the video of Kaito Kidd fighting the mysterious masked man and put herself into the role. She breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that she had won. Xiao Ai's eyes fell on her right arm. Even if there was a camera, it would not be clear, but now Xiao Ai easily noticed it.
It's like catching a white flower in the hazy fog.
Playing dumb in purchases and sales no longer works.
"You've become an adult, why are you still like a child?" Ai kicked Winnet's ankle with her slippers and squeezed out these words.
"Yeah, I feel like I've stopped growing," Winnett replied.
"Are you talking about breasts?" Ai joked, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Of course not! Winnett put her arms under Xiao Ai's armpits and lifted her up easily. Winnett put her lips gently to her ear so that she could say something embarrassing.
She said to her in a trembling and awkward voice, like a beginner speaking on a podium: "From the day I fell in love with you, I grew up in an instant."
Xiao Ai tried hard to turn her head to see Winnet, but due to Winnet's deliberate force, her whole body almost spun around.
"Winette," she whispered, "put me down!"
She almost couldn't help but scream, and soon became worried about Winnet's injury.
She kicked her stomach impatiently, but not hard, and the process continued until they entered the room.
The Suzuki family was very wealthy, so all of their rooms were single rooms. The room they entered was reserved for Winette.
Xiaoai thinks that it is really unstable for him to be so jumpy after being injured!
……
394 Do you want me to give it back to you?
As soon as Winnett put Ai down, she could not avoid seeing an angry little face, like the expression a child would show when facing a useless adult. Ai asked Winnett to take off her shirt. She asked Winnett, since she was injured, why didn't she confess to her directly? Winnett answered hesitantly and told her that it was just a trivial wound. However, this was obviously not the answer Ai wanted to hear, but Winnett's anxious look expressed how lame her lie was. After the communication, Winnett returned downstairs and took out the medical kit hidden in the backpack... Ai opened it, took out the knife, needle and thread, and disinfectants from the box, she drew the curtains, turned the gear shift light to the brightest level, and turned on the bedside lamp.
Winnet followed Xiao Ai's wishes, exposing the wound and glancing at Xiao Ai from time to time. Xiao Ai frowned and watched beside her, not saying much, perhaps because she felt that preaching was useless, and she went forward to untie the ribbon tied to the wound. She leaned her head forward, her bangs forked between her serious eyebrows, like a creeping branch, and the few curls of hair around her ears seemed to represent her mood, worried and messy, with the ends of her hair fluffy and close to her fair neck. Xiao Ai stared at her injured part and pulled off the last layer of gauze. The sticky blood and skin caused a slight obstruction, making her breathe tight. The same thing happened in the past, Winnet thought. That was when they just met, and it was also an opportunity for them to get to know each other. If there was no episode, the subsequent things might have been missed. Maybe "injury" is not a "big disaster" but a favor from God, she couldn't help thinking so. In the picture composed of blood and smoke, Shirley's hair is what it looks like now. She was thirteen years old at the time, and Winnet was fifteen or sixteen years old. After so much time, she felt a sense of distance. No, it wasn't far away. Some things were like mountains and ocean currents, which remained unchanged. It was just that time was moving forward. At that time, Shirley felt the same concern for her as a stranger, and did her best. Now that she has changed her identity, she is still the same as before.
Xiao Ai thought that she couldn't delay any longer, but she had a new worry. There was no anesthetic here. There had never been one before, Winnett replied nonchalantly. "Then you just bear with it for a while." She used an alcohol bottle and a container to make a simple alcohol lamp to heat the knife.
Winnet watched this scene and smiled and said, "Sometimes I wonder if you stole my heart through your wounds."
"You're such a snob. Do you want me to give it back to you now?"
"It's jumping around a lot. It's moving."
Winette spoke in a serious and sincere tone: "Shirley, this reminds me of the past. I like this pain."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai paused. She knew that the silly Winnet didn't know any pick-up skills at all, but now she was like an emotional expert, teasing her heart. Not every tree will bloom, and she was too lazy to argue with Winnet. She should have reprimanded her severely, otherwise, she would definitely take risks next time - but what is not dangerous? Every step is walking on the invisible abyss. She began to regret entering this peaceful and tranquil living environment, like a blind girl who can't see the darkness and filth of the world, always holding doubts and uneasiness. However, the real blind girl is still walking on danger, and she should create a safe alley to accept her.
She took the knife, stuffed Winnet's mouth with the new towel that Yuanzi had prepared for them, and began to work on the red and black wound. In all the years she had been in the laboratory, she had never laid hands on a human being, especially with her lover in front of her. This made her a little scared, but she remained calm and focused. Sweat broke out on both of their foreheads. Winnet didn't even breathe heavily: this was not an uncommon thing. She saw the bullet being taken out, and saw Xiaoai start to clean and suture the wound. After everything was done, Xiaoai said weakly while bandaging the wound: "Being like this, it takes more energy than I thought."
Winnett pulled out the towel from her mouth and wanted to wipe Xiao Ai's sweat, but she felt that it was stained with saliva, so she took two tissues instead. She tried to say to her as casually as possible: "Then it's my turn to take care of you."
She raised her hand with a look of disgust and shook it. Winnet heard Xiao Ai say, "I don't need a patient to take care of me."
After that, Xiao Ai did not forget to remind her to change the bandage regularly, check whether the wound was infected, and the healing condition, like a serious and responsible doctor. She moved her arms to show that she remembered it, but she didn't take it too seriously. Her healing ability was far beyond her imagination.
Winnett said, "Would you like some candy? It would be better to replenish your energy after being tired. Maybe you can stay here today? Anyway, they are all single rooms. Isn't it normal for children who like to act like spoiled children to sleep with adults?"
"Oh, a little kid who likes to act like a spoiled brat." Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at her.
Winnett's expression was calm. After experiencing Xiao Ai's "torture", she had become slightly resistant to such words. She stared at Xiao Ai lying on her side, "It's not bad to be like this, the thirteen-year-old you, the eighteen-year-old you, and then the seven-year-old you... So, we are also what they call childhood friends, or the term 'childhood sweethearts'?"
"You know a lot, but it's usually used to describe men and women."
Winette handed the chocolate to Ai and said, "Well, the symbolism is more important than the reality. Also, we are close friends, more solid than childhood sweethearts, right?"
"Huh, why didn't I think you were so talkative before?"
"is it?"
"Well, I looked like a doll at that time."
"How could that be? No matter how you look at it, you look more like Ai, right?"
"It's just like the idol election. It's not just about having a good-looking face that makes you qualified," Xiao Ai said, "There are other factors, such as temperament and the feeling you give others." She said nonsense seriously, and then pulled Winnet's face hard, "Well, even the skin is so soft."
