Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Mitsuhiko suddenly had an idea, "We are here to teach nature."

"Yes, after seeing the work of the police officers, we will present it in school."

"Oh, it's like reporting on my uncle's job."

"Then I'll go to the management office and return the key to you later." Just when Gao Mu was relieved, he was startled by the search of the Junior Detective Team. He shouted, "You can't touch things!"

"It's okay," the detective team raised his white-gloved hands, "While you were buying hats and sunglasses, Sister Winette bought us gloves."

Gao Mu's eyes became dotted.

"But you can't move things around casually," Winnet added.

She observed Conan and admitted that he did have a way. Checking the room was a systematic part of the training of agents. She had received relevant education and had a full understanding of the order of items, their placement, and suitable hiding methods. First, there were the gray sheets and curtains that did not match the overall beige room, then there was a square blank on the wall in front of the bed, and then there were signs that the furniture had been moved. In just a few minutes, she saw him looking through the beige curtains and sheets hidden in the cabinet, the calendar that had been removed, and a small matchbox found behind the furniture.

"You've been facing the direction of Edogawa." said Ai.

"Well, he is quite good at it," Winnett replied. "He is very observant."

"Aren't you the same?"

Winnet had no way to defend herself. In a sense, this was a blessing, no different from God's grace. Ai opened the glass window of the balcony, and there were cacti all over her feet. The owner of the izakaya, Ms. Muranishi, said she loved cacti very much. Nowadays, these tropical plants placed outside have begun to wither. And yesterday, the day the case happened, it rained in the northwest.

These were all recorded in the elementary school detective's eyes, and he listed them one by one to Takagi.

1. The only two things that are not beige are the bed sheets and curtains.

2. The calendar is put away. The calendar has traces of markings made every day.

3. There were signs that the furniture had been moved. Conan found a marriage application form with a stamp but no name filled in it in the matchbox he found on the ground.

4. The victim’s favorite cactus was moved outdoors.

Takagi gradually became numb from the shock, and was taught a lesson by Conan: the proprietress was too timid to tell the police about irrelevant things.

"That is to say, there is a mysterious person who asked her to move many things for some purpose."

At the same time, Mitsuhiko also found evidence. "This is it," he said, "the golden tiger cactus that the boss lady gave to Miss Muranishi as a gift on the night of the crime."

Ayumi looked at it and said, "But the thorns are all broken. How pitiful."

Takagi excitedly asked the children to explain: "When the body was found, the suspect was sleeping soundly on the bed in this room as if it were his own. In addition to the videotape cable used as the murder weapon, the door lock and chain lock at the entrance all have Mr. Higashida's fingerprints..."

As he spoke, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Could it be... Could it be that this room is..."

"The two-room trick," Winnett said, "it seems the murderer is a mystery novel lover."

Conan glanced at Winnett and said, "Let's go and take a look. Isn't his room also in this apartment?"

After switching positions, as expected, the furnishings of the two rooms were quite similar. This meant that Mr. Higashida had mistaken Ms. Muranishi's room for his own room, and the so-called secret room was also created by him when he was drunk. In this way, the only person who could implement this plan was Kitagawa, who got Higashida drunk and misled him.

"Then let's go arrest that guy quickly!" Mitsuhiko suggested.

"No," Winnett stopped her, "It's already late today. Besides, it's not in compliance with regulations to investigate a private residence in the middle of the night." She glanced at Officer Takagi and said, "Officer Takagi, do you want to stay here for a night? My house is pretty big."

"Ah, isn't that too disturbing?" Takagi chuckled, touching the back of his head.

Whatever you are thinking in your mind appears on your face.

I fantasized about being in the same room with Officer Sato, but then I felt disappointed because she was tied to the suspect.

As Winnett had expected, a look of dejection came over his face.

Winnett took a taxi. Although it was a bit crowded with so many people, the driver was a gentle middle-aged uncle. Plus, Gao Mu, a nice guy, kept apologizing, so she felt at ease. After all, it was not easy to find a second taxi late at night. After arriving home, she paused for a moment before opening the iron gate. On the slender iron pillar, there was a slight scratch, a cross. This was the mark that Ji Luxi was most used to making.

She came to Japan.

That being said, there is a high probability that Calvados will come along for the sake of Vermouth who has been staying in Japan.

Troubled times.

"Sister Winnet, is there something wrong?" Conan asked.

"No, I suddenly remembered something." She opened the door and said with a smile, "Do you remember the school doctor at Xiaolan's school?"

"Oh, it's Dr. Shinichi."

Conan thought of this person who appeared at the magic lovers' gathering last time. The first thing that came to his mind was his bookish face (he didn't admit that he was handsome) and his high diploma.

"We discussed before whether we could allow the children in the orphanage to have regular checkups at his private hospital. He is a good man who loves charity work, so he charges very low fees. Rather than choosing a public hospital and encountering irresponsible doctors, a caring and top student from the University of Tokyo is more trustworthy, right?"

Conan: Haha, maybe he likes you.

Although such fighting power that surpasses Xiaolan is intimidating, one has to admit that this man is both handsome and rich, kind to children, and cooks delicious food... As he thought about it, he couldn't help but glance at Xiaoai.

Where on earth did Huibara find such a hexagonal girlfriend?

……

454 Plastic Guillotine

At Winnet's invitation, they entered the courtyard. Conan was the last one to come. He glanced at the place where she had touched and found a cross-shaped mark. However, this was just like the mark made by a child burying something on the beach. It was the simplest mark. He was not so nervous as to regard it as a secret code for contact. It was probably just left by a nearby urchin or thief. The last time he came was the Christmas party. At that time, he did not have too many doubts about Winnet. In the previous tropical paradise incident, he heard that Winnet and Yuanzi were injured and immediately chased out. However, he and Xiaolan never met her from beginning to end. From time to time, the figures of gin and vodka appeared in his mind, and Winnet in his mind seemed to be covered with a layer of black clothes-she was really too mysterious.

The initial explanation of their relationship was barely plausible. But after getting to know Huiyuan, he didn't think she could think about falling in love while being monitored by the Black Organization. Even if it was a romantic, fateful love, Winnet was definitely a complicated woman.

She doesn't look like a pure British person at all. Her eyebrows are light, and her Nordic ancestry is obvious, but she has a slender body and a small face. Her lips are bright red, and you can see some shadows of Chios girls. The pigmentation is very light, and there may be some genetic diseases. Considering her appearance, she has little to do with Britain or France, and is more of a Swedish mixed race. Although she has a London accent, she can speak many languages ​​and is a genius like Huiyuan.

He remembered that Huibara once said that the Black Organization was recruiting talents from all over the world.

In addition to the feeling Winnett gave him before and after, he judged that she was most likely a member of the organization like Huibara, or had been a member in the past.

Winnet led people into the inner room, where Akemi was talking to Sato and Higashida in the living room. Seeing Takagi was there, Sato subconsciously moved closer and dragged Higashida over as well. She asked Takagi about the investigation, which turned into a small report meeting, and Sato praised the details again and again. Akemi poured him a drink, and Takagi blushed as if he had drunk strong liquor. Of course, he did not forget the professional team. The Junior Detective Team also received waves of praise, and their noses were raised high. Winnet reminded that it was time to go to bed, and asked Akemi to help prepare the room.

of course.

One room for boys and one room for girls.

Her apartment is much bigger than Dr. Agasa's, and there are no messy special rooms. After learning from the last lesson, she turned the vacant rooms into guest rooms. The number is definitely not as large as that of a B&B, but there are still four or five vacant rooms. Ai brought Ayumi into the room, and Conan was dragged into another room by Genta.

Winnett asked Sato if he wanted to break the handcuffs, but Sato shook his head quickly - it would be even more difficult to report if the handcuffs were broken. So Winnett suggested moving the sofas closer so that Sato and Higashida would have a place to rest. Although there were rooms to sleep in, sleeping on the same bed was a bit too weird, and no one except Winnett could accept it. When Takagi heard that Officer Sato was going to rest in the living room, he didn't want to stay in the guest room anymore, and he insisted to Winnett:

"I'll just rest on the sofa."

He was planning to stay up all night, and he was very satisfied to have such a comfortable high-end sofa to sit on. Seeing that he was so obviously focusing his attention on Sato, Winnet stopped trying to persuade him, and went to the bathroom after a polite word of indifference. Sato happened to want to talk to him about something, and saw that he looked shy. She said jokingly, "I won't let you peek at young girls bathing."

"I don't have that idea!" Takagi turned the chair sideways, facing the bathroom.

They talked a little more about sending Toda off tomorrow, thinking about not bothering Winette any further, so Takagi was responsible for arresting the criminal and getting the keys, while Sato was responsible for sending him to the airport.

They were exhausted from the day. Winette changed into pajamas in the bathroom, whispered a few words to Mingmei, helped turn off the chandelier in the living room, and returned to her room. As the night deepened, the whole house became extremely quiet. The door of the second room on the left hand side of the second-floor corridor opened slightly, and a small black figure slipped out.

"Kudo, what are you doing?"

Conan was about to explore the house on tiptoe when he was startled. Ai came up the stairs and looked at him with contempt like a thief. He was at a loss for words and felt overwhelmed. But he couldn't admit that he was investigating Winnet, so he answered carelessly in a low voice, "I'm going to the bathroom."

“The stairs are this way,” she said. “You were going the other way.”

Since they are in the same situation, it is better to be honest about some things. Conan sighed, adjusted his glasses, and looked at her seriously. If Winette is a member of the organization, then Huiyuan must be her accomplice. Her attitude is also one of the conditions for reasoning, he thought.

"I suspect she is related to the Black Organization." Conan went straight to the point.

It is absolutely not allowed to expose Winnet's identity, as that would push her into the trial of justice. Ai tried to remain calm and told him: "I think you miss them so much that you are crazy. If Winnet was a member of the organization, you would not be sleeping peacefully here now, but sinking into Tokyo Bay." Conan knew that what Huibara said was right, but right and wrong were not clear. He could see Winnet's feelings for Huibara, so he stopped asking her and turned to leave.

"Gray, why are you following me?"

"Because you will cause trouble to her, I have to keep an eye on you."

"Then don't get in my way."

"As long as you don't do anything out of line."

Her voice was low, and she hoped that Winette would not reveal any clues. Perhaps she should expose Edogawa's actions, but that would be suspected of confessing himself, so it would be better to let him give up this idea naturally after he failed.

Opening one of the doors, they walked in. Conan turned on his watch-shaped flashlight and explored the space filled with bookshelves, and then his shoulders tightened again. At the end of the light, there was a furry purple dumpling mascot doll in the gap between the bookshelves. Because of its strange appearance, it was still quite creepy in the middle of the night.

"Why put this kind of thing..."

Ai was very calm about this. Since her sister became cheerful, she often collected some strange things. Winnet was also the culprit who accompanied her in making trouble. The two of them cooperated well, like a pair of old friends.

Then Edogawa Conan began to live in shock and panic until he became numb. A prank clown and a fist popped out of a wooden box that might have hidden something. There was a secret compartment on the shelf where the books were arranged in a disordered order. Conan put his head in it, but there was a groove on the top board of the bookshelf with a firing pin structure on the inside. After it was triggered, a plastic toy that looked like a guillotine axe fell from above and hit him on the head.

"If it's a real trap, you'll be the same as Louis XVI." Xiao Ai couldn't help but utter a sentence. She expected the two innocent girls to play tricks, but she didn't expect them to go to this extent. After thinking about it carefully, she was relieved, because there was still the possibility that members of the organization had infiltrated, and Winette was simply trying to play a trick on them.

……

455 Toy Arsenal

Coming out of the study, Xiao Ai yawned.

"Haven't you had enough fun yet, Detective?"

In just ten minutes, he had touched all the tricks. They were all hidden in relatively hidden places, as if they were specifically designed for detectives and thieves. Conan ignored Ai, and found that the shape of each of these tricks could be regarded as a letter, and the layout of the room was a long corridor running through the door, and all the props were arranged on the vertical line of this corridor. He searched everywhere and finally gathered the word that the code referred to.

dead angle.

Conan returned to the entrance of the study and looked around. The flashlight swung back and forth and found a small bookcase that was out of sight. This bookcase was partly attached to the wall. It was a staggered staircase-like art cabinet with nine grids. The grids with books were connected to form an "X" pattern, as if telling the solver "You have found the treasure."

Conan looked miserable.

"No way?"

"No matter how you look at it, he's just teasing a child." Xiao Ai complained.

At night, in front of the window covered by green leaves, a ray of moonlight penetrated the middle layer of the bookcase. Conan, who was originally planning to move the books in the central cabinet, suddenly had an idea. He picked up the small mirror on the desk, leaned against the window sill, and let the watch-shaped flashlight reflect through the mirror, making the light swing up and down.

"What are you doing?"

"This blind spot should refer to the place where light cannot reach. It's not daytime now... simulate the angle of light, and I got it!"

The area blocked by the large bookshelf formed a shadowy triangle on the third step. Conan came to the front of it. Because the small bookcase had been specially treated with surface art, the alternating colors formed a special kind of eye-catching trick. He tried to push it, but it didn't work. But when he pulled it in reverse, a secret compartment appeared.

Inside was a key and a note.

Conan chuckled and put the key in his hand. The note read: Dr.Mk. He thought he had found the answer, but suddenly felt ridiculous. He walked to the corner covered with a black curtain and lifted it, revealing a strange old man statue with a red and white base. He looked around but couldn't find the keyhole. So he put his hand into its open mouth.

"I see. DR doesn't mean doctor, but soldier. This doll is wearing the British military uniform of the Regency period. MK means putting the key in the mouth. As a puzzle prepared for children, it's quite interesting."

Xiao Ai leaned against the bookshelf and smiled.

Conan fumbled for the keyhole and turned the key. There was a metallic sound like an old oven being opened. It sounded like metal parts scattered on the ground. There was a big hole in the soldier's chest, open like the battery slot of an electronic toy. In its chest and abdomen, there was a pile of black guns.

"Haiyuan..."

Ai was also startled by this sudden change. Before she could explain or argue with Kudo, she picked up one of the pistols, her eyes fixed, pulled the safety and quickly aimed at Edogawa.

"Now that you've discovered it, there's nothing I can do." She gave a wicked smile.

"Graybara, you..."

Conan subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Ai once again emphasized that he should not move and took out a grenade from the "arsenal".

"Officers Sato and Takagi are downstairs, and Genta and the others are sleeping in the next room."

"Do you think this childish threat is useful?"

Conan had an illusion. It was an illusion of following a member of a huge criminal group. The Huibara in front of him became extremely unfamiliar, standing with those cruel men in black. Conan was sweating profusely. He realized that Huibara was staring at his wrist, and if he tried to open the anesthetic needle or press the belt on his waist, she would immediately shoot.

"You are kidding, right? You are so kind to those kids, how could you affect them?" Conan asked tentatively, and then showed his usual silly smile.

"Don't worry. After making a hole in your head, I will detonate this grenade. By then, we will all be nothing but disgusting fragments. Since you have discovered Winnet's true identity, I, as the middleman, must disappear from this world. The organization will never know about you and me, your friends and family are safe, and my lover can continue to live in the world. Isn't this the best ending for dead people like us? Kudo Shinichi, from the moment you were fed the incomplete drug, you were already a dead man."

There was a hint of sadness in Xiaoai's voice.

"Goodbye," Ai's finger slowly pulled the trigger, "Heaven and hell will never meet; I will be in hell, waiting for Winnet to reach me," her tone became gentle, and the object of this tenderness was Winnet, but it was like a dagger piercing Conan's heart.

His lips were completely bloodless, and he could not find anything that could be called a flaw on that resolute face. There was a wall behind him, and there was no place to hide.

The only option is to hope that Haibara will hesitate.

Gurgle.

Conan couldn't help but close his eyes, but the expected smell of gunpowder and pain did not appear, and even the sound of the gun trigger was eliminated. In his extreme tension, he knew nothing about reality. This delay lasted for two seconds, and he finally synchronized with time. He opened his eyes and saw a mini pirate dog connected to a spring spewing out of the dark muzzle, which was now drooping under the handle.

Conan broke into a cold sweat.

"It seems that my acting skills are not bad." said Ai.

"Please, you almost scared me to death..."

She put the stuff back into the "arsenal".

"Are you satisfied now, great detective? All of this is just the owner's bad taste. Even if it is true as you said, Winnet is related to the organization, and the dangerous goods must be hidden in her bedroom. I advise you to save your energy for the next case. Or do you want to take advantage of your youthful innocence and break into a girl's room? Have you ever thought that if what I just said is true, I will really get rid of you with my own hands. Unlike you who are loved by so many people, only Winnet will love me without reservation. From the moment you stand on the opposite side of her, we will be enemies."
