Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

As for the medical staff, Akane Fantian had already ordered a luxury lunch box from a lunch box company and placed them in a designated rest area, which served as a temporary restaurant. The analyzer was already prepared. They were given a two-hour break.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Winnet went to find Vermouth.

"So it's Miss Winnett?" Her expression seemed to be waiting for someone to come. Vermouth gathered the documents and said, "I think the children's certificates will be issued around four o'clock in the afternoon."

"You're too deep into the role."

"Phew. You're such a jerk, baby, for making me do such a chore."

……

461 Showdown

Winnet's face turned into disgust as if she saw mushrooms in an instant; and Vermouth, like a swindler who caught a little lamb, pulled Winnet to sit on the medical bed. She held Winnet's hand between her two hands and gently rubbed it, as if she was flattering someone to ask for something.

"Who's your baby?"

"It's you, dear." Vermouth said. She had been busy with the affairs of Tomoaki Shinide during this period, especially sneaking into the police station to steal files, which wasted a lot of time. Not being able to see Winnett almost drove her crazy. "To be honest, I feel lonely when I have such a lovely girl but can't be with her all the time. I wish I could have reminisced about the past the last time we met."

I only believe two points of what Vermouth says at most.

"Were you discovered?"

"How could that be? I deliberately lured the rabbits into the trap. Just as I thought, they wanted to throw bait to catch big fish..."

"Oh yes."

Winette became more and more disgusted and pushed Vermouth's face aside.

"Ah, I thought men like this were quite popular."

"Maybe. But it makes me feel uncomfortable." Winette leaned to the side, "with a face that is in stark contrast to his actions, just like a strong man with a thick beard winking at people. So you'd better perform well; tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Vermouth shook her head slightly, and resumed her voice as Tomoaki Aida, saying, "It's not the right time yet. I have some things to confirm, and I'll let you know when I decide on a course of action. Also, be careful of the FBI recently, they've sent a large number of people to Japan. Although they don't know your identity yet, they may be lurking nearby."

"So, someone is lurking around you?"

“Around boys and girls.”

She leaned close to her and spoke these words into her ear. Vermouth saw Winnet's beautiful lips tremble slightly because of thinking.

really.

Winnett was finally sure that Vermouth was mainly doing this for Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran.

"Haha, you don't need to be nervous." she said again.

She waved her fingers and drew circles above Winnet's collarbone. It was more like adding psychological pressure to her than teasing her. She suddenly exerted force, and Winnet fell on the bed. The curtains were drawn, and it was a little dark. Winnet saw a pair of particularly dazzling eyes. At this moment, she knew that Vermouth was testing her. If she panicked a little, it would be equivalent to saying that the little girl who transferred to the school around the same time as Edogawa was also problematic.

Vermouth has already seen her.

Winnett was not surprised. Shirley's childhood appearance could not remain a secret, especially in front of an organization elder like Vermouth who was older than both of her parents.

Winnett stared at the ceiling behind Vermouth. The softness of the back of her head made her mind empty. There seemed to be a deeper darkness hidden in the dark room. She sighed deeply and put her palm on Vermouth's throat. With just a little force, she could hold it and break it with her legs, but then it would just continue endlessly and the same thing. So she just stroked it gently and finally murmured:

"I thought her life or death didn't matter to you, or you were resentful of the drug she developed, just like you disliked... she regarded the drug as a burden - a devil that took lives in an unknown place. But now, whether you like it or not, I love her and can't let her go. When my soul is split in two, the remaining half will turn the organization upside down. Because I am really good at exploitation, especially human life..."

"It seems that you admit it." Vermouth suddenly laughed, as if it didn't matter.

Winnett remained silent and let her rub her cheeks and hair. She was surprised to find that this witch she thought was very cunning was actually just an emotional woman who treated her like a lying child.

The uneasiness turned into doubt.

"I can let her go for you, dear." Vermouth suddenly pressed Winnett under her body and clasped her wrists with both hands. "So, you have to agree to my conditions."

"I suppose your condition is not my body?"

There was construction going on at a nearby construction site, and all sounds were eliminated by the loud bangs, so Winnett didn't notice that Vermouth's actions carried a deep meaning.

"Haha, my angel. You are still so humorous."

"Although it's not that," she continued, "it is something even more excessive... You have to agree to my conditions and obey me in everything."

Is it like signing a contract to sell yourself? Winnet felt a huge gap. Only the most naive little girl would believe in verbal promises. This is not like a contract with the devil. There is no cost for breaking it. She almost agreed to her without thinking, but Vermouth's sudden kiss lifted the veil of disaster.

Because she was too focused on talking about Ai, the construction noise interfered with her judgment, so that she didn't notice the uninvited guest at all.

The feeling of being watched.

Vermouth has discovered it.

She is really cautious.

Winnett then realized that there was a mirror on the small table beside her, which just happened to reflect the view from the window on the door. It should only be a short moment.

"Don't tell you that you don't have any other little thoughts," Winette sighed, "This is the first time I know you are such a naive woman. Now it's good, Shirley will misunderstand me."

Vermouth buried his head under her shoulder, and his lips touched hers lightly, but it was the leather texture of the camouflage mask. It cannot be said that she did this without any intention of expressing intimacy, but at least 80% of it was to create a wrong impression for the peepers - that they were secretly dating.

Even the character collapsed.

Winnett couldn't imagine how hungry a couple must be to have sex in a room where children were given physical examinations. This was probably Vermouth's little revenge and bad taste.

After pretending like this for a while, when the construction noise stopped, Winette signaled Vermouth to stop. She didn't hear the door hinge turning or the door opening, and the glass mirror was still clean. This meant that the peeping criminal had left. Winette was already thinking about whether to deal with the peeper.

She sat up and looked at Vermouth. Seeing that she was even blowing kisses, she couldn't help but frown. She asked who was snooping outside the door, maybe because her mood had improved, or because she felt a little guilty. Vermouth did not hide it and said that the person was the announcer Rena Mizunashi - that is, Kiel.

Winnett knew where her confidence came from. If it was Gere, the other party would just keep such a boring scandal to himself. The organization is not a fan club - the big star Chris is not wearing makeup now.

463 Witness Keel

"Yes." Winnett agreed, "The gentleman in the single room is one of the doctors we hired to do physical examinations for the children in the orphanage. He is responsible for-"

"Physical examination." Akane Fantian added.

"Yes, a physical examination. It measures height, weight, and vital signs. His name is Sakai Takuma. He has a medical license, but he no longer works in a hospital. Instead, he runs a drug store. We have established a cooperative relationship, which is why he came to help."

The police officer named Chiba was already questioning the first person who discovered the body, but he didn't have any useful information. He just came to the toilet and saw Sakai Takuma's body when he came in.

Then, Megure whispered to the forensic personnel.

"Based on the situation at the scene," he said, "it must have been suicide."

"If that is the case, you should remove the dead quickly; you may not know that we do not use that word. He has chosen to be here, which is disrespectful to God, and I am unwilling to pray for him because of my faith."

"By the way, Miss Winnett, that person didn't come?" Megure asked in a low voice.

"Inspector Megure, who are you talking about?"

"That's... that's the disaster star. I see you guys are often together. Whenever a case happens, Brother Maori is definitely related to it. And after being a fool for a while, he would suddenly do a strange dance, and then that's how he became famous. However, he suddenly didn't show up at the crime scene, and I'm a little uneasy."

Ha ha……

It turns out that cases don’t occur all the time.

Miss Winnett thought this was the norm in the Touto area and even in Beika Town, and she had never thought that the detective's "halo of bad luck" would be so strong. If people were dying everywhere they went, it would be better to lock up all the detectives and put an end to it once and for all.

It’s better to give up complaining.

After taking photos of the scene, the forensic personnel said that the bullet must have been lodged in the victim's skull. However, apart from the obvious bleeding in the mouth, there was no more blood splatter around, and the intracranial bleeding had solidified after such a long time.

"To be on the safe side," Megure said to Winnett, "Let's gather all the people who were in the church at the time and ask about the situation."

"Ok."

Winette gave the task to Akane Takata. She provided two rooms as interrogation rooms and was the first to be summoned. She was with "Arata" at the time and the two testified against each other. When she left the room, she saw Reina Mizunashi in the waiting line. She greeted her and noticed that the announcer's response was a bit stiff.

Sure enough, a complete misunderstanding occurred.

"Ms. Mizuno, I thought you had gone back." Winnett said, "I'm so sorry that this happened. Maybe you can report this... Although, I personally don't want it to be spread. But the news will be reported sooner or later. If possible, it would be better if your TV station reports it together."

"Miss Winnet..."

Mizuno Rena called her name and gestured for her to come closer.

Winnet did just that.

“Actually, I saw…”

Coming?

Although Winnett felt that the relationship between the two was not close enough to discuss such topics, since Mizunashi Reina brought it up on her own initiative, it meant that she might just want to give a friendly reminder.

This matter was entirely Vermouth's fault. She was always so frivolous and frivolous when she spoke. If it was a normal conversation, it wouldn't be a big deal even if someone saw it.

"So you saw it."

Winnet sighed, unable to speak. Asking her to admit that she had a relationship with "Xinchu" played by Vermouth was like some kind of torture. It was really painful for her to lie about such a question involving feelings and beliefs. Winnet had no choice but to swallow her anger and suppress her sadness. She stuffed her wholehearted love for Xiao Ai into the locker and spoke with difficulty:

"Dr. Shinde and I..."

"What happened between you and Dr. Shinde? Ah, I wanted to ask you, Miss Winnet, do you know anything about the doctor named Gaokou?"

Uh.

Her acting skills are not even a little bit worse than Vermouth's.

Winnett almost exploded, and then she realized that Mizuno Reina didn't want to mention that matter at all, and she was overthinking it. And she didn't know why Mizuno Reina asked Dr. Gaokou Naoya.

"You mean Dr. Takaguchi?" Winette said. "I don't know much about him. I just know that he graduated from the University of Tokyo like Dr. Shinde and is doing an internship at a hospital in Haido. He is responsible for the children's oral examinations."

At this point, Winette had a guess in her mind. Dr. Gaokou was working hard to become a dentist, and only a dentist could make a person appear to have committed suicide by shooting himself. From the perspective of a professional criminal, this was entirely feasible. However, it was hard to imagine that a young man who used his limited rest time to volunteer would commit murder.

Winnet was 100% sure that he was not of the same kind.

I heard that he also lived in an orphanage when he was young, and was later adopted by a well-off family.

"I saw Dr. Sakai go into Dr. Takaguchi's office. I was planning to do some random interviews, but when I got to the restaurant, I saw that most of the doctors were not there, so I came to the clinic."

In other words, Mizunashi Reina might be here to find Shinde. Winette thought this was also an excuse. This kind of interview would not be held in a closed space, and the time of the interview should be before and after the physical examination. Vermouth's reason was more credible.

It is even possible that he is doubting her identity.

But the severity of this suspicion depends on one’s position. If they are investigating as spies, they must be dealt with as soon as possible. If this is the case, Vermouth’s ambiguous behavior will become a smokescreen. I think Kiel would not think that a woman who is secretly in love with a doctor can be related to the organization.

Vermouth's casual and playful order of playing cards can sometimes achieve unexpected results.

"Well, are you doubting Dr. Takaguchi?" Winette pretended to be surprised, "But Dr. Sakai committed suicide."

"That's right, so I'm wondering whether I should tell the police."

"It's better to tell the truth about things like this," said Winnett.

"I feel much more relieved when you put it that way. Actually, I get flustered when I'm faced with something I can't make up my mind about."

Mizuno Reina gave an embarrassed smile, then cheered herself up again. It was almost time for her to accept the questioning.

After watching her leave, Winette couldn't tell whether she was trying to get close to her or was really hesitant. Based on her first impression, she felt that she was not the type to lie easily. Thinking about the fearful days in the organization all day long, it seemed normal to be exhausted.

But Winnet couldn't relate.

……

464 The Second Scene

After all the inquiries were completed, the police evacuated the scene.

In the temporary interrogation room, Takagi called on Dr. Takaguchi to cooperate with the investigation, because Rena Mizuno's testimony conflicted with Takaguchi, so the police needed to reconfirm. Of course, Rena Mizuno who testified also had to come along, so Winette mixed in by pretending to be the person in charge and the escort. Dr. Takaguchi's temperament is completely different from that of Arata played by Vermouth. Although both of them wear glasses, Dr. Takaguchi's eyes are drooped and his speech is heavily accented, giving people a stereotyped and sharp feeling. He glanced at Rena Mizuno and Winette, nodded slightly, and accepted Takagi and Sato's inquiries, while Megure listened.

Seeing that the police force was so complete, Winnet couldn't help but think that "the detective should temporarily stop working." However, even she herself seemed to have become prone to cases, as if she had a detective virus that was contagious.

"Do you have any questions, Mr. Policeman?" Gao Kouzhi also raised his glasses slightly.

"In fact, according to Ms. Mizuno, she once saw Mr. Sakai enter the clinic you were in charge of." Takagi put on the serious look that a police officer should have. "Do you remember this incident?"

"No, I don't know." Takaguchi Naoya answered, "I'm not familiar with Dr. Sakai. In fact, I have always participated in various volunteer activities. Although I only recently received an invitation from the pastor's side, this is the first time for Dr. Sakai. This is what he said himself when we were in the equipment vehicle."
