Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"Let's go back to the Maori Detective Agency," Winnett asked Clyde, "So, any useful information?"

"It seems that the Metropolitan Police Department believes there is a high possibility that there is a traitor within the organization," he said.

Before this, Winnett had never imagined that things would develop like this.

"Isn't this a trick?"

"It's possible," Clyde said. "The confidentiality is very strict. But on the day the girl lost her memory, the sister of a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department was having a wedding celebration. Someone I know went to the party, and it was almost all police officers. It seemed that they were sure that the 'cop killer' would attack someone else. Instead of asking me to investigate, it would be better to ask the sleepy detective directly. Isn't he very close to the police?"

“I just felt something was odd,” she said.

"Oh, what else did you analyze from this?"

"No, I think it's stupid of me to try to reconstruct the incident like a detective." Winnet said, "It would be better to catch him in the act. He wants to kill Xiaolan anyway."

The process would be a bit troublesome, for example, tonight, they had to wait around the Maori Detective Agency. This made Clyde doubt whether this was useful.

The murderer was waiting for the moment of slack to pull the trigger. For this kind of assassination, which has no shortcuts, the opportunity is completely squeezed out by Xiaolan's action pattern. Winnett asked him to ambush at the corner of the street. The police car monitoring at the door of the office can only serve as a deterrent. She can see that the police are short-handed. A large group of drunks were walking around in a noisy manner. Some of them were quite likely, while others were completely unlike them, but none of them were the ones she was waiting for, and some were even unconscious. One of them grabbed a handful of wrapped flowers and seemed to be going to the station. The suspicious guy that Winnett wanted had not appeared yet. It was probably time for the good baby to go to bed, and finally an alien appeared on the street.

Clyde lay in the car with a newspaper on his face and fell asleep. He could not be seen from outside through the black car window. Winette sat quietly, like a gentle and virtuous lady.

In the night, a sneaky figure revealed his appearance, a man. He had his hands in his pockets, hunched over, and wore a not-so-tidy blue leather jacket. Originally, he was just in the realm of suspicion, but he almost ran towards the Maori office, and when he saw the police officer in charge of surveillance, he immediately pulled his jacket over his collar and turned and ran.

"Stop pretending and take action." Winette kicked the chair in front of her, and Clyde started driving to block the man's escape route.

He saw the car door open and a pair of slender woman's hands pulled him into the car.

The cold touch against his neck.

"Don't, don't kill me!" he shouted in a low voice, not daring to call for help, perhaps because of the power of the gun or because he was afraid of attracting the police.

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate honestly, I won't kill you or hand you over to the police. We want to catch the real murderer, and I think you agree with this."

"What, he's not the murderer!" Clyde complained, and he lay down dejectedly again.

Good assist.

The restrained man calmed down visibly.

Winnett asked in a tone that did not irritate him as much as possible. When he learned that she also wanted to catch the culprit in the incident, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave his name - Tomonari Shin, the only son of detective Tomonari Nobukatsu.

Hoping that the woman in front of him might be a messenger, he told her that he was framed and received two phone calls. The caller said that he would tell him the truth about his father's death and asked him to wait at the traffic light in Beihua Town. As a result, a detective named Narasawaji died. The second time, he was asked to wait at the Midoridai Park Building, but the other party still did not show up, and the detective named Shibayo Ichiro was found dead in the underground parking lot. So the unlucky guy finally realized that he had fallen into the trap of the real murderer. He dared not go home and spent the night outside.

"The next day, I called home to check the voicemail. A woman claiming to be Officer Sato left a message asking me to come to the Beika Sun Plaza Hotel. She also said that if I didn't come, she would arrest me on suspicion of murder. I didn't expect that when I got there, there were police everywhere. I was so scared that I ran away immediately. However, I didn't expect that Detective Sato was attacked."

"Wow, that's tragic!" Clyde interrupted. "The wedding celebration was held at the Beihua Sun Plaza Hotel. This means that the murderer was on the list of attendees and wanted to frame him."

"So, you risked showing up here because you didn't trust the police because your father died in the line of duty and wanted to seek help from Detective Maori?"

"Yes."

……

442 Seduction Plan

To express her sympathy and trust for Mr. Scapegoat, Winnett pulled the trigger and a bunch of fake flowers sprayed out of the muzzle of the gun. This is a very popular prank prop overseas. After all, handling a real gun will cause character problems.

Obviously, You Chengzhen couldn't understand, and he closed his eyes in fear.

Of course, opening your eyes is not heaven.

"It's just a toy, sir." She smiled kindly, "We will help you. Let's find the real culprit together."

You Chengzhen was devastated by the development of the situation, but he was really at a dead end now. Even if there was a spider silk in front of him, he had to climb it first.

Winnett also cited several things to reassure him: Xiaolan's friend was very familiar with Detective Maori and had acquaintances in the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Then what should I do?" You Chengzhen said almost unconsciously. He pressed his head with both hands and looked at Winnet with a pleading look. After realizing that she was such a beautiful woman, he looked away again.

"The current situation is not optimistic. Even if I testify for you, the police will most likely not believe you because you have appeared at the crime scene several times, and you made a statement that almost threatened to retaliate against the police in a fit of excitement at your father's funeral. However, we are not completely helpless. There is an idiom called "making the fake look real". We can stage a drama and catch the real culprit."

You Chengzhen was persuaded.

He was induced by Winnett, who assumed that the police would not believe him, so he had to rely on himself and people who had nothing to do with the police, such as her who was releasing him with good intentions. When she told him the plan, the young man who was full of resentment towards the murderer felt it was absurd at first, but finally accepted it. It couldn't be worse than it is now, he believed it. Moreover, he did get some benefits, a sum of money from Winnett, a brand new mobile phone, headphones, a small portable camera, and a recorder for seeking help.

A nominal imitation gun (imported from a black workshop) with performance comparable to that of a real gun, and sufficient imitation bullets.

You Chengzhen handed his wallet to Winnet, which contained his driver's license.

"You are such a kind lady, you are willing to think so much for your friend. Don't worry, I will not disappoint you and will definitely help you bring the real murderer to justice. After all, it is better to say that my father died while investigating this criminal than that the police killed him. Even if I can't bring him to justice myself, I have no regrets if I can help."

"Then let's start the first phase. I'll let you know what to do next." Winnett asked Clyde to drive him to 4th Chome and opened the door for him.

"You want me to pretend to be this young boy, miss, shouldn't you pay me double the overtime pay?"

"Of course you can. But have you developed a gambling habit? You know, men always behave like this when they ask for money."

The last living example had burned to death in the ruins. When he asked for money, it was only because he owed gambling debts, prostitution money, or was craving for alcohol.

"That's prejudice. But I'm really short of money. I just bought my own car. Anyway, why let this young man get involved? Whether it's pretending to be the murderer or setting up a maze, isn't it enough to have you alone?"

"It seems that you have become dull in the past few years. A fool like him who has been deceived by the murderer three times in a row, with a straightforward character and easy to trust others, is the most useful chess piece. It is the most appropriate to remove the unreasonable parts and hand them over to the reasonable chess pieces. As long as the matter is properly resolved, he will definitely not betray us. Moreover, in his perception, I am not a powerful criminal, but a kind-hearted girl who cares about her friends, isn't it?"

"She's beautiful and kind-hearted..." Clyde muttered.

Complaining about your boss is not a good habit, Winnet said.

In any case, the bait must be spread first. Winette's idea is very simple. First, let You Chengzhen pretend to be the murderer and attack Xiaolan. With her as an insider, the attack will be very leisurely, and she will be responsible for preventing Xiaolan from getting into trouble. In this way, the police will be 100% sure that Xiaolan has seen the murderer's face and focus their attention on her, while the real murderer will be more cautious and more urgent - he must create an opportunity before Xiaolan recovers her memory, and this opportunity must not be created by him, but given to him by her.

Next, the fake You Chengzhen will divert the police's attention, while the real You Chengzhen will pretend to be the fake murderer and attack Xiaolan in order to lure out the real murderer.

The attack will be commanded throughout by Winnet, with real-time communication to control the route and location.

The next step is to identify the murderer and use the trick of "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind".

A minimalist fishing plan was born.

Afterwards, as long as You Chengzhen confessed as agreed, the whole incident would have ended perfectly.

"But your method is really inefficient. We will both be the bodyguards of that girl for a few days, 24 hours a day. Isn't there an option to just shoot the murderer with two shots?" Clyde complained. According to the plan, he and Winette had to take turns to rest and keep watch.

"Yes. You sneak into the Metropolitan Police Department, tie up a police inspector named Megure, and ask him to tell us the details of the case. Then we can accurately deduce the scope of the suspects and then knock them out one by one."

"Be a bodyguard."

The detective process may not be smooth as they are not professional.

Clyde stayed up until 4am, when Winette took over. During this time, she made a mask for You Chengzhen, but the details were not in place. At around 9am, Winette woke Clyde up. Gao Mu, who had replaced the night shift, began to move.

Eri Kisaki accompanies Xiaolan on the trip, and of course Conan also comes along.

Maori Kogoro was not accompanying them, and Takagi also got off the bus. Winnett speculated that they might be going shopping or sightseeing, and there were no suitable places near Beihua Town, so the travel plan was to walk - train. Winnett asked Clyde to follow, and after confirming the route, they went to the station first.

Arriving at the station, Winette checked the flow of people around.

With information provided by You Chengzhen, she learned that the murdered police officers were members of a case that he and his father were investigating. Although the suicide case of doctor Ninoho was closed as suicide, a secondary investigation was initiated. There is no doubt that there are doubts.

Clyde got hold of the list of people who were going to the celebration.

She was checking to see if there were any corresponding characters. However, this was not an organized large-scale search, so the possibility of her bumping into them by chance was close to zero. After waiting for a while, she successfully confirmed the location of Xiaolan and her group.

While waiting for the train.

opportunity.

If she was the murderer, she would definitely push the person onto the tracks and then blend into the crowd.

This means that the real murderer may have the same idea as her.

Strike first to gain the upper hand.

Winnett asks Clyde, who is dressed as Tomoka, to push Xiaolan after the train starts. Of course, it doesn't matter who does it, Tomoka's mask is just a safety precaution.

……

443 Primary School Student Saves Beauty

The train in the opposite direction slowly entered the station, and there was another timely pause. The open door burst out the crowded crowd. Takagi, who was standing at the back observing the suspicious person, was immediately shocked. During this period, he also gracefully helped a lady. But what gave the criminals an opportunity was the psychological shadow that emerged when Takagi supported the woman - the image of Officer Sato who was unconscious in a pool of blood. Just when he was distracted for a short time, the alarm bell of the train was about to stop sounded, and according to Winnett's script, the disguised Clyde pushed Xiaolan.

Xiaolan's attention was distracted by her memories. She lacked the ability to react to danger and just knelt down near the railway.

Fortunately, the three people around him reacted quickly.

Conan rushed out faster than Winette, who only wanted to cover the bottom, and pulled Xiaolan away from the railway. At that moment, the train was still seven or eight meters away from the girl.

Considering the plan, Winnet felt that it was too early to start.

If Xiaolan hadn't been in such a distracted state, she could have left the railway on her own, provided she wasn't so frightened that she couldn't move.

The reason why the rescue was so smooth was also because she didn't move around, which made Conan not hindered when pulling Xiaolan, which was a blessing in disguise. As long as there was no danger, Winette wanted this effect. The only pity was that the real murderer was calm and didn't reveal any flaws. She couldn't even be sure that he was nearby.

"Our goal has been achieved, let's retreat," said Winnett.

Although the timing of the attack was a bit unnatural, she did not do it herself, which made the detective boy feel a little strange at most. However, this little abnormality would be eliminated by the key point of "taking Xiaolan's life".

Not long after, the police car arrived.

They took on the role of an ambulance and sent Xiaolan to the hospital.

The murder caused only minor scratches, uncertain psychological pressure, and the elementary school student risked his life to save Conan. Judging from the fact that Xiaolan was still able to confirm Conan's condition at the time, it should not have caused much psychological impact.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

"I'm not a gentle guy anyway."

Winnet murmured to herself in a self-deprecating tone. If Xiaolan had been afraid to recall the past for the rest of her life because of this horrible memory, it would have been in line with her wishes.

"What, are you pitying the poor girl?" Clyde asked her.

"In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." She laughed mockingly, "But no matter where this light comes from, it cannot shake the perdition of darkness."

"You are a pastor, but you blaspheme your Lord."

"Every day, I confess my sins, but I never fall into the lake of fire."

He kept silent and did not pursue the subject any further. While they waited for the result, they found a restaurant for dinner. While Clyde was paying the bill, Winnet received a call from Sonoko, telling her thrilling story of escaping the tram tracks. Although she and Conan did not get along, she praised him frankly at this time.

"Then let's go visit her. I'm having dinner outside and the driver is here too. I'll go pick you up, Yuanzi."

After the discussion, she went to Sonoko's home to pick her up and visit her together - Xiaolan had been injected with a sedative and was currently resting. So they waited in the reception room of the hospital. Sonoko was a little embarrassed and told Winette that she could take care of other things first. Winette said that she would take a day off today and asked Sonoko about her understanding of the whole incident in a roundabout way.

She learned that at the time of the crime, the murderer used a timer to cause a power outage and placed a flashlight in the bathroom cupboard. It was because Xiaolan picked it up that her and Officer Sato's positions were exposed. Sato also rushed forward to block the gun in order to save Xiaolan.

Judging from the fact that the shot did not penetrate the human body at close range, it was undoubtedly a small pistol.

But this does not provide any clues, and it is impossible for the police to use the M60 rotary and P230 semi-automatic. What concerns Winette is the trap set by the murderer. When the light is on, the flashlight placed in the cabinet of the sink will not be discovered. After the power is off, it is like a Pandora's box that leads people to open it - a beam of light pokes out from the gap of the cabinet.

Anyone who is not in a state of high mental tension will immediately open it and check it out. Only then will they realize it is a trap because of the deliberate arrangement. This little trick undoubtedly takes advantage of human psychology. At first glance, it is a simple plan that anyone can complete. In fact, the murderer must have studied psychology quite well.

There was a chance that her crude plan would be seen through.

However, she was not worried about this. Because she felt the other party's arrogance: setting a subtle trap to make You Chengzhen a scapegoat. In the process of committing crimes, he habitually used his abilities, psychological induction, voice synthesis, and was a guy who was both confident and liked to leave room for maneuvers. She was sure that after he learned that You Chengzhen was pretending to be him, he would definitely take advantage of the situation to frame him and snatch food from the hook.

At dusk, a beautiful red glow floats in the sky.

Winnet and Sonoko finally saw Xiaolan. She looked good and could move freely. She had been lying for too long so she wanted to exercise a little, so they went to the conversation room together.

"Xiaolan, I'm so glad you're not hurt!"

"Thank you for coming to see me."

Xiaolan thanked them with a twinkling look in her eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Hey, Miss Sonoko, Miss Winnet..."

"Just call me Sonoko."

"What kind of kid is Conan? Why did he risk his life to save me at that time?"

"Well, for a kid, he's pretty agile." Sonoko raised her head and touched her chin, "Yeah, his senses are pretty sharp too, anyway, it's amazing! But, really, I would say, he's just an arrogant kid."

"My answer is much simpler," Winnett said with a smile, "because everyone likes you, Xiaolan, and saving someone you like is often not about gains and losses. Adults may be influenced by various factors, but children will not think too much, and Conan is a child with strong action ability."

Sonoko made a check mark: "That's right! But I think that precocious brat has a crush on you."

It's worthy of being called Yuanzi, Winnet thought.

"Yeah……"

Now Ran is not as good at dealing with Sonoko's jokes as before. Winette said this because she wanted to magnify Conan to the point that everyone likes the gentle and kind Ran, thereby blurring the boundaries of emotions.

In retrograde amnesia, after memories are retrieved, current memories will not be affected.

She estimated that Xiaolan, who had been with Conan day and night and experienced many events, had more or less begun to doubt his identity. Perhaps it only took an opportunity for her to connect him with Kudo Shinichi.

At this moment, Xiaolan suddenly stood up from the sofa.
