The jewelry store owner was shocked.
"Mayor Shichui, why are you here?"
"I just happened to have a vacation, so I went to Hokkaido for some fun," he replied.
Maori Kogoro was puzzled when he heard this: "What do you mean by being good at something?"
The subordinate actively explained. "That's just a rumor," he said. "Some people think that the robbery incident was a farce staged by our boss to gain popularity in the mayoral election. It's completely nonsense." After he finished speaking, the president with the stone hammer said, "But there is no smoke without fire. This is not without basis."
"What are you talking about?" The jewelry store owner was very dissatisfied.
Kogoro also spoke up for him: "But the security camera captured it, and it looks like it was captured by a professional robber with a criminal record. This can't be a deliberate plan, right?"
"That's why it's so strange!" Mayor Shichui asked back, "It's too suspicious that such an experienced person would not do a good investigation beforehand, but would watch someone press the alarm and then run away without saying anything."
Amuro Toru, who listened to the whole process, smiled and interrupted, "Maybe it wasn't a deliberate act. The robbers were just fooled and thought the jewelry store wouldn't have any defenses, so naturally they didn't make a careful plan."
……
403 Mysterious Woman
Toru Amuro's inference was so aggressive that Kogoro Mori couldn't help but look at him twice.
Although the other party claimed to be his fan, his arrogance reminded him of a very annoying guy - Kudo Shinichi who was always pestering his daughter.
As soon as he had this thought, Kogoro suddenly felt that Conan, who was eating for free at his house, was very similar to Kudo Shinichi. They were both young and inexperienced detective fans. The annoying thing was that Kudo Shinichi was really good at it!
That is about one-third of this real famous detective!
he thought.
"By the way," he looked at Amuro Toru carefully, his attitude not as friendly as before, "Who are you exactly?"
In his impression, guys with beachy skin and blonde hair were all people with bad habits, with the exception of the hot-tempered beauties; he would never let such guys get close to his daughter. Compared with those hooligans, he felt that Kudo Shinichi was relatively harmless.
Toru Amuro has a rather humble attitude towards Kogoro.
"My name is Toru Amuro, and I'm also a private detective. Of course, I can't compare with masters like you, Mr. Mori. I just take on some small commissions and make a living."
Conan had an expression that said, "You must be kidding."
Not to mention the little detective, even someone as famous as my uncle can't afford to ride on the luxurious Beidouxing train.
At least you have to be as rich as some young lady.
Conan's mind flashed through the images of Sonoko and Winnet. He glanced to the side and saw that Huiyuan was also a rich girl. He couldn't understand why she made all kinds of material demands when he asked her for a small favor. If he wanted something, he could just ask Miss Winnet.
However, he overlooked one point. Even if Xiaolan was as rich as Sonoko, he would not be able to bring himself to ask her for a monetary gift.
This is the same for Xiao Ai.
In front of Winnet, she actually has a strong need for self-esteem, especially now that she has become a child, which has magnified this need a lot.
"Detective..." Kogoro murmured.
The clerk was still defending his boss, and his tone was a bit weak, and it was unclear whether he was forced or willing. He defended his boss:
"But, we can't doubt our boss just because of this."
This is true.
Amuro Toru did not add any doubts. He said this because he wanted to show off a little in front of the Maori detective. Of course, this performance was not positive, but as long as he could remember him, it would be fine. The famous detective had a very good relationship with Winnett, and they would visit each other from time to time. He did not expect to change her impression of him, but just to get her used to his existence. As for the information about Ablis, he needed to investigate it himself.
However, Mayor Ishihammer scoffed at the jewelry store clerk's words:
"That's not all. The criminal said something strange before he left. Your clerk clearly heard it!"
"What strange words?" Kogoro asked curiously.
"It is said that the criminal said this reluctantly when he was escaping..." He imitated her very well, "Humph! This is totally different from what we agreed on!"
"What? Is this true?"
he asked the clerk.
These words sounded suspicious to everyone, making people feel that someone in the jewelry store had colluded with the robbers, but when the robbery came, that person suddenly changed his mind, causing the robbers to return empty-handed.
"Yes, that's what the criminal said at the time, and I heard it too," the clerk admitted.
Conan listened to the whole process, but what he thought in his mind was not the possible filthiness involved, but a feeling of familiarity, as if he had encountered a similar incident before.
"Sister Xiaolan, it seems that a similar case has happened before."
"Ok?"
Xiaolan had no impression of this and just responded in confusion.
Kogoro Mouri believed Mayor Ishichui's words and felt that it was indeed suspicious. Mayor Ishichui's attitude displeased the jewelry store owner, who frowned and stared at him, asking him who he was.
With Toru Amuro's words before him, most people around him had heard Kogoro's name. When someone asked him his name, he also had a little bit of a confrontational attitude, thinking that the other party would be surprised to hear his name, so he said:
"I'm telling you, I don't care how you hide it..."
The famous detective who is useless in front of me——
Before he could finish this sentence, a passerby pointed out his identity.
"You are Mr. Maori Kogoro, right?"
His opening remarks were held back in his stomach, and he stopped talking halfway through his cool act. He rested one arm on the backrest of the seat and tilted his head to look at the passenger who had spoken his name.
"Yes," he admitted dryly.
"I'm so touched! I didn't expect to meet the famous detective Maori Kogoro here. Can I take a picture with you later?"
The passenger was very excited, and Kogoro was infected by his enthusiasm and felt embarrassed to refuse.
However, when everyone heard the words “famous detective,” they all looked weird.
Winette witnessed the development of the situation and thought that they were involved in trouble again; but she couldn't just ignore the Mori family, not to mention the unstable factor of Amuro Toru. She was silent for a moment, then asked Mingmei uncomfortably:
"Why do I feel like you're very friendly to him?"
"Really?" Mingmei poked her chin as if in reflection. "I don't think I treated Mr. Amuro any differently."
"The biggest problem is that there is no difference. He is entangled with the Maori family again. He may have secretly investigated us behind our backs."
"Miss Winnet, you are too nervous. I was not sure before, but now I am sure that he is the one from that year..."
When she got to this point, she saw Ai's puzzled expression and stopped talking. It's not that she didn't want to talk about the past, but Shiho was just a baby at the time and had no memory of the past.
"The band-aids on the face are exactly the same." Mingmei mentioned at the end.
Only then did Winette notice that Bourbon did have a Band-Aid on his face, which was not there when he met her. She didn't know if he was really injured or put it on to hint to Mingmei.
"What are you two talking about?" Xiaoai put a cherry tomato on the fork in her hand.
Mingmei looked at her with a smile, and she looked into her eyes with a helpless look.
"Even if that's the case, there's no guarantee that he's still the same as he was back then."
She said it sincerely.
People change. Winnet never thought that she would fall in love one day, and that man has become a sinister character. He must be different from what Mingmei remembered, but Mingmei's innocence made her hold an inexplicable trust.
Find an opportunity to test it, Winnet thought.
Her relationship with Bourbon was mainly based on missions and actions; his role was mostly to provide intelligence. As an intelligence officer, he had only made a few moves, but that didn't mean the organization would give him the code name of incompetent. All she had to do was find an opportunity to force Bourbon to take action against innocent people. If he hesitated, it meant he wasn't a bad person; if he was decisive, it meant he was hiding something; if he was casual about it, it meant he was very cunning; if he couldn't do it, the problem would focus on another point: he had another purpose in joining the organization.
Although she doesn't kill indiscriminately, she is also a bastard. She will attack irrelevant people without any mercy. People in the organization are generally like this. Frankly speaking, she has no psychological burden.
"You are talking about that person." Ai glanced at Amuro Toru standing next to Kogoro and pointed at him with her fork. Her expression changed from displeasure to alertness.
The only people Winnet could think of who might be afraid of her were the members of the organization with code names.
However, she had never seen him.
On the contrary, her sister knew of his existence, and maybe the same thing was true in reverse.
But neither of them wanted to talk about this in front of her, so she didn't dare to ask. However, in private, she could ask Winnet to explain it to her if she strongly requested it.
"Yeah, there's no such thing as coincidence!"
At this time, a woman appeared at the door of the dining car; she was wearing a forest green sleeveless dress, a sun hat on her head, her arms under her chest, and sunglasses, making it impossible to tell her expression.
This meaningful but confusing sentence made Winnet frown.
Women’s dream?
Is it the incident that Maori and others are discussing, or Bourbon and himself?
While she was thinking, the waiter of the dining car came up to the woman and gestured for her to come in:
"Ah, you must be Miss Mingzhi who reserved a seat with us. Come this way, I will show you the way."
She nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry, I want to cancel my reservation now." After she said that, she turned around and left, leaving the waiter at a loss trying to keep her.
Her attitude made the waiter think that he had been rude for a moment.
Winnett tightened her grip on the fork. She was good at guessing other people's actions. Combining the woman's behavior, she thought something happened in the dining car or someone was seen. She foresaw what was going to happen, so she decided to stay away from the dining car or go somewhere else.
Before leaving, she looked back and smiled.
“It looks like this journey will be exciting.”
This flamboyant personality reminded Winnet of someone, a woman who had been giving her a headache until now; she thought that since it was a luxury train trip, Vermouth might also be interested in it - she claimed that she was on vacation. However, Winnet did not know the details. Even if she had her private number, she rarely contacted her. She knew that Vermouth seemed to be carrying out a secret mission and would go to London from time to time, and would not stay in Japan for too long.
She secretly glanced at Ai, who was eating slowly but had no reaction, and it seemed that the "sensing" did not work; Winette thought that she was too sensitive, and it just happened that this woman's temperament was somewhat similar to Vermouth's. After all, Vermouth had more substance.
It is understandable to change your body shape by dressing up as a man or a child, but there is no reason to shrink your body size when dressing up as a woman.
Seeing that Winnet seemed to be very concerned about the woman, Xiao Ai hugged the juice cup in front of her and said:
"What a strange woman, she always says strange things. What's even stranger is that you seem to care about her very much. Do you understand what she is saying?"
Winette shook her head frankly.
"I don't know, I just feel that she looks like someone."
Xiao Ai knew it immediately. It was the thigh dancer. She used the derogatory term used by Winnett because she hated her. But she didn't feel the feelings of the organization members from that woman. I think it was just Winnett's illusion.
"Come on, I guess you're just thinking about her. You're with us, but you're thinking about..."
Seeing Mingmei listening attentively, she stopped talking halfway, as if in revenge for what Mingmei had just done. Should I say it's cute or childish? In short, the two sisters have striking similarities.
Just as Toru Amuro and the Mori family were getting to know each other, they finished their meal.
The few people who were discussing the robbery kept silent when they heard Kogoro's name. Kogoro responded to the passengers' fans and Amuro Toru. Amuro Toru chatted with the passenger, mostly about Kogoro. In Winette's eyes, this behavior was telling her that he had investigated Kogoro Mouri.
However, this is also where the worry lies.
An unknown detective suddenly became famous, and at the same time, Kudo Shinichi disappeared. The relationship between their two families is very close, which makes it easy for people to think that it was actually Kudo Shinichi who was giving advice to Mouri Kogoro.
It just so happens that in the organization's list, Kudo Shinichi was already a dead person, and the last person to handle the list was Ai, who betrayed the organization, which is very intriguing.
To be honest, she was very surprised that Kudo Shinichi's identity had been kept secret until now. As long as someone did a little investigation, they would find that the current disguise was full of mistakes.
Could it be that he not only carries the "Halo of Death", but also has additional lucky attributes?
She was brought back to her senses by the sound of Toru Amuro taking a photo with Kogoro. Perhaps to ensure the photo went smoothly, he devoured the food. After they took the photo, Xiaolan asked about his relationship with them, because Toru Amuro kept looking over here and was ignored by Winette.
"Because of some coincidences, I happened to meet him a few times."
He explained to Xiaolan.
Conan, who was reading the air beside her, felt a chill on his back. After spending more time with her, he gradually became aware of Winnet's unhappy look. Facing such a woman who was even stronger than Xiaolan in combat, it would be a lie to say that he was not a little afraid.
How did he offend her?
In Conan's impression, this pastor lady has never been angry with anyone except him, and her temper is even milder than Xiaolan's.
"Oh, by chance..."
Winnet cooperated with the criticism and smiled:
"It seems that the financial backers behind Mr. Amuro are very strong, and it is easy for them to create such a coincidence."
"Oh, this is all my fault," he said to Xiaolan and the others. "I failed to explain clearly, so Miss Winnet thought I was a detective following them."
"Isn't that so?" Conan laughed in his heart and asked innocently.
"It's really just a coincidence. A good friend of mine gave me the ticket temporarily. She had something else and couldn't come along... Come to think of it, maybe she and you, Miss Winnet, have met a few times."
Winnet responded to his words by slightly putting her five fingers together and giving some small reactions.
