Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

410 Three people traveling together

The playfulness of the train journey consumed a lot of energy, and the two sisters were quieter than Winnet expected at night, curled up and fell asleep. Winnet picked up the kettle on the stove, filled it with hot water, sat in the small rocking chair in front of the window sill and watched the night view for a while, then moved to another bed, turned her face to the side, glanced at Xiao Ai's childish sleeping face for a few more times, and then fell asleep.

I had a dream that is difficult to talk about.

Winnet opened her eyes instantly, her body shivered, and the pillow behind her head sank a little. She touched her chin and found some sweat still left.

Should I say it was wonderful or terrifying? Anyway, the feeling of being controlled was very strange. She suppressed the afterglow of the dream and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Her movements were gentle, and the two sisters with disordered biological clocks remained quiet. She picked up the ornamental tea saucer in the hotel, as well as the plastic-wrapped sugar and creamer, and made tea. As a half-British, Winnet was quite familiar with tea.

She foresaw that Ai wanted a cup of coffee, but she was not prepared. She felt that relying on coffee was not a good habit. There was a bad example before - a famous writer - the whole person was almost soaked in coffee. Winnet put the teacup on the table, feeling the warm steam, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart. It was just like Ai cared about her always eating sweets. She couldn't help but consider Ai's coffee addiction.

It was almost time when the sun was shining on her butt when Xiao Ai lazily got up and tried to smooth her hair which was as messy as a mess. As soon as she moved, Mingmei also responded. She rubbed the corners of her tearful eyes, then sat down naturally at the low table, picked up the teacup, and there were three biscuits on the small porcelain plate, just enough for each person.

"We played a little too crazy last night."

Mingmei rubbed her forehead and blew the white air from the top of the teacup.

Xiao Ai was not interested in tea, as if she was afraid that Winette would add too many sugar packets in it, so she turned to the freezer to get a bottle of mineral water, gulped down two sips, and went straight into the bathroom to wash and fix her hair.

"How about it, do you want to rest for a while?"

"It's okay. Besides, it's a rare trip, so I don't want to miss out on the attractions worth visiting."

"Well, there's still plenty of time. I mean, there's no need to rush."

Having said that, Mingmei still expressed her willingness to go sightseeing, and put on some makeup while she was getting ready: she put on some lipstick. This made her look much more mature, like a woman who sneaked out during her free time at work. At this time, Winnett realized the difference between age and experience. The so-called makeup is a respectful etiquette. Although it looks good, the intimacy seems to be sharpened by one or two points, making her unconsciously polite.

After packing up, they started their day of play. The dim light in the shape of small glass beads lit up at the staircase, causing Xiao Ai to yawn. Winnett thought of the "yawning woman" mentioned by Conan and found it a little funny. She met Xiao Ai's eyes and said, "I envy you so much. You feel so energetic after just a short sleep." Her voice was lazy. The elevator started, and the space vibrated rhythmically.

Winnet squeezed her shoulders, smiled slightly, and said, "Well, when I think of sightseeing with Xiao Ai, I don't know where my sleepiness flies away. Maybe the other me in the dream slept soundly for the real me, so I am so energetic. This spirit has been hinted a long time ago. When I planned this travel plan, I was very excited. An opportunity to relax like this should not be missed. We can catch up on our sleep in the park. The sun is out."

Xiao Ai crossed her arms, squinted her eyes and showed a slight smile.

She felt that Winette could be more frank and simply simplify this sentence to: I want to be with you. She had the same wish, but it was not intense all the time, like a lifeline floating up and down, always with some buffer time, reaching the top at a certain moment, and drawing an arc in the short separation.

"Winette, are you frozen?" she whispered.

Winnet didn't understand the word, so she asked directly:

"Ah, what does this mean?"

"I'm talking about time. You don't seem to change at all, your appearance and your manners—"

"What kind of style?"

Winnett held Ai under her arms, straightened her arms, and picked her up, her expression still a little confused.

"I understand, I understand. Miss Winnet is just like that." Mingmei and Xiaoai agreed and exchanged glances with each other as if they knew each other.

"Yes."

"What on earth are you talking about..."

Winnet could guess a little, for example, she spoke in a roundabout way, but she still hoped to hear clearer words. She always believed that private understanding was biased and could easily lead to hidden gaps.

"Anyway, put me down first!" Xiao Ai said, "Well, I mean you are young." She touched Winnet's hair in the air and held a strand, "For example, the hair quality is still like a little white fox."

You yourself are not small, like a little fox?

Winette complained a little in her heart, and then obeyed Xiao Ai and put her down. They walked out of the elevator, and the hotel sign told them that the subway was only about one kilometer away, so they did not take the subway, but walked to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Walking from the lush greenery of the park to the city, the slightly damp and cold feeling turned into a cool and desolate feeling; it is not yet the peak tourist season. Hokkaido has its own characteristics in each season, but there are not many tourists before spring - the air is so cold that it makes people shiver. Winette saw Xiao Ai pull her hands out of the pockets of her brown coat, exhale, rub her palms, and then pull her scarf, like squeezing cream, and wrap the scarf around Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai sniffed, lowered her head slightly, and buried part of her face in it, as if she was smelling the scent.

Walking down the street, I saw the clock ringing on time again. This seemed to be a symbolic building. Many people stopped in front. Mingmei gently bumped Winnet with her waist, winking playfully. With her red lips, she looked like a TV star. This reminded Winnet of someone. Another intelligence officer in the organization, Mizunashi Rena, who was a host at Toudou TV. Although the style was completely different, she thought Mingmei could also shine. With her friendly personality, she would probably gain amazing fans.

Winette understood her signal and stood with Xiao Ai in front of the square with the city as the background. Mingmei took out the camera from her bag and skillfully adjusted the focus and value. She bent slightly like a professional photographer with a guiding smile on her face. The camera just stopped at a pearl button on the collar of her long sleeves, highlighting her sexiness.

“It’s time to shoot.”

Winnett reached out her hand and slowly met the fingers extending from the other side. Their knuckles intertwined and they touched each other's palms: smooth and cold. They moved a little closer, but her smile was not as bright as the sky's. There was a hint of restraint in it. Ai cooperated with the camera and smiled calmly.

This scene would probably look quite strange in the eyes of others, as the two of them did not look like an elder and a younger generation, and this was actually the case. The two were immersed in a small, slightly tense, secretive mood, cautious and eager, their clasped fingers becoming more and more restless until the camera stopped clicking, and the two palms, now warm and wet, briefly separated; they changed some movements under Mingmei's guidance, but there was no new trendy naked posture to show love - which only appeared on social media.

Then, the positions were changed, Winnet took the photo position, and her appearance made the people standing next to her want to help - they didn't think she could take good photos with her visual impairment. Winnet declined, she hated external interference, and adjusted the angle under Mingmei's guidance to take photos of the two of them; compared to her, Mingmei was much more relaxed, mostly showing intimate actions, and even wanted to pick up Xiao Ai or carry her on her shoulders, but this request was naturally rejected.

Winette held the camera steady, feeling amused. Mingmei smiled brightly and carefreely, and the makeup she put on became a negative enhancement. However, the combination of the two created a wonderful phenomenon - it was full of infectiousness; many people passing by had already glanced at her - it was just like admiring a flower or other natural landscape, making people unable to take their eyes away.

In the photo, Winnett was thinking of the sun and the moon. The moon was inevitably invisible next to the sun. She looked at the two girls with watery eyes and seemed to think of many things at once, but she couldn't express them. It was like the moon in the water experiencing a gentle ripple. Everything she thought of turned into ripples and she couldn't outline a specific image.

"Are you satisfied?"

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at Ming Mei, and the photo shoot came to an end. But this was just the beginning. Ming Mei's plan was to take photos everywhere and then pick out the best ones. Winette had seen her little photo album, and she must be still filling it up.

"Hey, who told my sister to be so unique? Miss Winnett, let's take a photo together. I'm sure you don't mind those poses, right?"

Winnet curled her lips. She felt that she was too easy to talk to, but how could she be so tough in front of a girl like Mingmei? She didn't make any excessive demands, and Winnet convinced herself in an instant.

However, Mingmei is very sensible.

The talk of posing intimacy was just a lie, just a daily teasing of her sister. She was free, with her hands gently pressing on Winnet's shoulders, and her smile was like a wild flower covered with dew.

Xiao Ai quickly raised the camera above her head:

"Is that all? I'd like to see Winette do those moves. If I take them out later, she might hug the pillow and bang her head against the bed."

"Hehehe...it doesn't matter. I can't see the photo clearly anyway."

Winette deceived herself and acted carefree. "Then you should do it with me!" She smiled with wrinkles on her cheeks.

Ai held the camera in one hand and shrugged. She didn't care about the photo! It was just that the current posture was not suitable! She handed the camera back to Mingmei and said nothing. The sky had become a little warmer. The houses and the floor tiles were shining and blurry. A jackdaw passed by in the sky and made two loud calls, as if expressing its joy for the good weather. They went straight to the Sapporo TV Tower, took the sky elevator to the observation deck, and looked at the view of the whole city; the view here was much wider than that of the hotel, and the shy clouds that were dispersing in the distance were slowly moving and gradually embedding into the deep blue sky. Winette took a deep breath, exhaled a white mist, and looked into the distance.

Mingmei held up the camera and took several pictures of the sky in succession, while she and Xiaoai stood in front of the telescope.

Facing the Datong Park to the south, they took some photos in the fountain; the benches here were also nice, with thick shade from the trees. There was also a hard dirt path outside the square, which was more comfortable than the dusty sidewalk. They took a leisurely walk, passing a green meadow with slender grass, unbloomed wild hyacinths under the trees, and a few blooming dandelions. Xiao Ai stopped, bent down, and stroked the flower path.

“Great shot!”

Mingmei squeezed to Winnet's side and showed her the photo. Perhaps because of the people, this kind of small garden in the city also touched her heart, making her discover another kind of beauty - the orderliness is pleasant. She regretted not bringing a lunch box. This well-trimmed grass is very suitable for picnics. Having dinner and lying on it gently is like coating the surface of a cake with maple syrup - she thought of lying on the grass by the river when she was a child, looking at the water and the water lilies flowing quietly in it.

They crossed the path, Mingmei took the sightseeing map she had prepared in advance, and crossed two platforms to reach an observation deck on the edge of the city. There stood a bronze statue with one arm stretched out and pointing forward. "Young people, please have great ambitions!" This famous saying was engraved on the base. In front of them was Yingying Grassland, and there was a place to rest nearby. Winnet once again regretted not bringing a lunch box and food.

Afterwards, they tried the food recommended in women's magazines. Although it was Xiao Ai's idea, she was not satisfied at all. The combination of small sandwiches, soups and mini rolls was exquisite; Winnet felt that the quantity was too small and the taste was relatively light, which was also contrary to her cooking principle - both taste and quantity were important. Winnet was a little worried before, because she was not very good at traveling and was afraid that she could not arouse Xiao Ai's interest, but Mingmei completely made up for this and made up for the passion necessary to stir up emotions.

"What a joyful day," they all agreed.

The trip returned on the third day. A short trip is full of novelty, but fatigue is easy to accumulate over a long period of time. Winnet was particularly sensitive to this.

Before boarding the train, Mingmei prepared a lot of things. In the evening, Mingmei held a small tea party for the girls, "Let's have a little fun before going back!"

Xiao Ai stroked her forehead and smiled helplessly: "Okay."

Winnett naturally did not refuse. Although the three of them had very few topics to discuss, each of them was an excellent listener and would not say anything annoying. Winnett only mentioned the church and the things she founded, and also promoted Reiko Akibaya. Mingmei seemed to be her fan and was very interested in this new generation of traditional singer, and expressed the hope to see her up close.

Finally...

The three of them snuggled together, with their backs against the wall, and spent the entire night.

……

411 Sato Miwako

After daybreak, the train arrived at the departure station.

The sky over Toudou was slightly gloomy, but the familiar air made them feel relaxed. They took the train back to Beika Town and the first thing they did was to return to their residence to rest. The consequences of last night's frolicking were still there, and they were so tired that they wanted to fall asleep as soon as they touched the bed. Winette was the only energetic one among them. Being in the same environment with the two sisters, she rarely had the opportunity to completely relax and fall asleep, which gave her plenty of energy. She also said that if Ai was too sleepy, she could lie on her back and sleep for a while.

"Okay," Xiao Ai didn't care about this. She was just being carried by her girlfriend. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Then try to walk more steadily. You know that my sleep quality is not very good."

Winnet didn't expect that what she blurted out would come true, but she still held Xiao Ai firmly on her back. Although she felt nothing, she felt a little strange. Perhaps she still had some strange grudges about her becoming smaller and having some space to move. At present, she couldn't find a proper limit, which led to different little thoughts. When Xiao Ai's breathing became more stable, Mingmei slowly held her hand, like leading a junior - her eyesight was still problematic. Mingmei stood on the outside of the road, always so considerate.

Winnet silently accepted her kindness until they arrived at Beika Town and stopped in front of the doctor's house; Mingmei gently woke up Ai, and then she and Winnet greeted Dr. Agasa and handed him some local specialty products. Dr. Agasa looked at Ai with a guilty look, which showed that he had been a little indulgent recently, and the days to come would be a bit sad.

On that day, they received a summons from the Metropolitan Police Department regarding the incident at the Blue Castle.

Collecting evidence against Mutsumi Nishikawa is a troublesome matter. The time span is too long, so it is difficult. In addition, due to their sudden travel plans, the recording of the statement has been delayed and postponed until now.

After the time was set, she and Ai showed up in front of the Metropolitan Police Department the next morning, along with the Junior Detectives, including Conan. They didn't bother Miss Hatamoto for too long, because they were leaving a little earlier than them.

"This is the Metropolitan Police Department. How magnificent!"

Yuan Tai looked at the tall building in front of him and sighed.

“You handle a lot of cases here every day, right?”

"After all, this is the top police department in Japan!"

“I suddenly feel so excited!”

Ayumi placed her arms in front of her chest, clenched her fists, and jumped a little with excitement.

Dr. Agasa looked at the excited Junior Detective Team and couldn't help but remind them worriedly:

"Listen, we are here to take statements regarding the Blue Castle incident!"

"We're not here to camp or have a picnic." Conan put his hands in his pockets, looking like he was trying to be cool.

This appearance of his was the first thing that caused resistance from the Junior Detective Team.

Ayumi's happiness was taken away by him, and she unhappily revealed Conan's background, "What? You dare to say that about us? Conan, you have been nagging about this yourself. You can ask about the unsolved cases."

Mitsuhiko raised a finger, "That's right! The happiest person among us is obviously you, Conan!"

"Is that right?"

Conan rolled his eyes, bared his teeth, then rubbed the back of his head with a wandering look in his eyes. His behavior was exactly like Kogoro's.

Xiao Ai looked uninterested and didn't even have the heart to challenge Conan. Winnet felt that if she wasn't here, Xiao Ai would probably turn around and leave. At that time, Xiao Ai would probably say something like "it's enough for you to be here to take the statement."

Xiao Ai put her hands behind her back and waited for a moment, then a young police officer walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Winette remembered him, the detective in the gold coin incident, whose name was Takagi. He introduced himself and then invited Dr. Agasa and them to go inside the Metropolitan Police Department building.

"I'm sorry to trouble you for the trip," he said.

Dr. Agasa politely said, "It's my duty."

Ai, who originally thought it was boring, looked around the interior of the Metropolitan Police Department and said with a bit of surprise, "It's quite clean here."

"That's weird. I thought it should be dirtier here, with cigarette ash everywhere."

Mitsuhiko looked around and came to the same conclusion as Ai.

"Anyway, it's just good-looking!"

"Yes, when we get to the police office, we will..."

Genta and Ayumi also thought that what they saw now was just the surface. After all, there were only a few policemen like Takagi in the warning hall. In the impression they got from watching police and gangster movies from time to time, most policemen looked fierce and unkempt, and the police office was like a smoking room, messy and incomprehensible.

When they arrived at the office, the scene they saw was completely different from what they had imagined.

A vast office space, with square desks tightly fitted together to form a rectangular office area. They are scattered in the room. There are only a few telephones on the desks, which are clean and tidy. Only a few people sit in front of the desks, and the scene is depressed.

"Why is there no one here?"

Mitsuhiko expressed the thoughts of the Young Detective Team: this place is completely different from what they expected.

"Because everyone has already gone out." Gao Mu replied with a smile, and seeing their disappointed looks, he said, "Are you so surprised?"

"Of course, a police officer's office should be littered with cigarette butts!"

"I thought that as soon as we came in, there would be an evil-looking uncle staring at us non-stop!"

Gao Mu was embarrassed by Genta and Ayumi's words, but he still tried to correct their ideas, saying that they watched too many police and gangster movies; he immediately pointed at himself, indicating that he was a vivid example of a policeman, but the Junior Detective Team did not buy it and talked about it in private. They said he had no courage, doubted whether he could really catch the criminals, and even said that he could not get a girlfriend, which made Gao Mu laugh awkwardly.

It's true that I don't have a girlfriend.

Winnet saw his embarrassment. If he really had a girlfriend, he would have refuted her face to face like most people. In this case, he was looked down upon by a group of children. Just imagine how pitiful he was. She thought of the female police officer she kicked away last time. They were still partners at that time. It seemed that this timid and weak man in front of her did not seize the opportunity. She was afraid that he would be hit hard by the Junior Detective Team again and become angry, so she got to the point: "Well, can we start?"

"Ah, no problem."

Due to his self-esteem and face, Gao Mu would not get angry with the child in front of the lady. He went to his desk to organize the documents.

As he was getting ready, Dr. Agasa asked, "By the way, where is Officer Megure? This time, it was he who asked us to come here."

Takagi patiently explained that Inspector Megure was investigating a bank robbery case.

Dr. Agasa had heard about this matter. Three days ago, the bank in Haido Town was robbed of 200 million yen by gangsters, which had a relatively bad impact.

Winnet was traveling at the time and didn't know about this, but she thought it had nothing to do with the organization. To be precise, the amount of 200 million was really embarrassing. There was still a chance to rob a bank if it was more than 100 million, but there was no need to rob a bank if it was less than that. It was obviously done by a guy with little criminal experience. Moreover, the stolen money could not be used directly. It had to be washed or settled over time. Even the organization would not deliberately do such a troublesome thing.

Takagi directly exposed Officer Megure's thoughts. His wife also went to the bank that day and was hit by the gangster and slightly injured. Therefore, Megure was particularly concerned about this matter and tried his best to solve the case quickly.

Conan looked frivolous and said, "So that's why Officer Megure asked Officer Takagi to take our confessions on his behalf..."
