Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

However, I am still not ready to accept it.

Winnet flipped through the postcards, as if her sleeves were being pulled. She responded to Mingmei's request, rarely taking out a dignified touch, and told her about her recent life. Winnet acknowledged this friend, but she didn't want to add family members because it was just a lie.

Come to think of it, I didn’t see her on this mission. Was she sent to clean up the garbage?

She returned to the living room and saw Mingmei sitting on a single sofa chair, her face flushed and her eyes closed. Winette picked her up by the waist and took her to the room upstairs, thinking that she had indeed drunk a lot, and perhaps, not as carefree as she seemed, she still had memories of a heartless guy.

The memory of betrayal may be deeper than love.

"Don't go, don't go..." Mingmei murmured in her dream.

"I'm here." Winnett imitated Miyano Shiho's voice.

Mingmei grabbed her wrist, and her expression stabilized again. She couldn't help but stay in the same position for a while. She was imagining, losing, and not losing. After a cycle, she suddenly laughed. Gently spread Mingmei's knuckles, stuffed the soft plush ball into her palm, and Winette retreated like a ghost.

She went to the courtyard, found the storage warehouse, and maintained her weapons and equipment. At about two o'clock, she took a short nap.

Mingmei didn't get up.

Winette was preparing breakfast, showing a positive attitude. She added honey to the yogurt, cooked pumpkin and millet porridge, and waited for Mingmei to be attracted by the aroma.

Mingmei pretended to be sleepwalking with her head tilted back, sniffed and took the bait, passed the bathroom and sat on the dining table. She picked up the yogurt with honey and berries and took a big sip. She hummed deliciously and continued:

"If it was Shiho, she would definitely scold me and tell me not to go to the table until I finish washing up."

She used this to express her affection for Miss Winnet.

Winnet was busy in the house, Mingmei laughed at her like a newlywed wife, and said that she had taken the position that originally belonged to her sister. Winnet was used to Mingmei's jokes, and she added that this was also part of the habit, and she always had to prepare her own food before.

Occasionally, an additional portion is added.

"Then I will supervise you on her behalf, but the order can be more flexible," said Winnett.

"Sometimes you don't have to be so gentle!" Mingmei put the candied eggs into Winette's bowl.

Maybe it refers to what happened last night.

This sounded strange to Winette.

"Everyone needs to be considerate of each other." Mingmei said with a smile, "Do you know that if you do things too well, it will also bring pressure to others? For example, Shiho, she is too smart and sensible. If you treat her too well, she will feel that she doesn't know how to respond to you, and sometimes she will have an avoidance mentality. Especially in her current state, it is difficult for her to become your dependence."

"It seems to make sense. Then how can I correct it?" Winette did feel that Ai was a little cold.

"It's simple. Just leave the things you are not good at to her."

"When it comes to choosing products, I basically leave it to her." Winnet thought.

She felt that there were many things she was not good at, but only to the extent that she was unwilling to do them.

Mingmei continued:

"There is a trick. Sometimes you have to be clumsy on purpose and give her a chance to show herself. Think about it, she has a strong personality, right?"

"Ah."

"Right. So you have to give her some space to develop. I was worried about her being a little boyish, but now I have no choice but to teach you the love skills of a girl."

"You're obviously single?"

"You've been influenced by Shiho, absolutely!"

Mingmei followed suit and complained about this venomous tongue.

Winette took note of this point silently. It was almost like she was trying to hide her shortcomings and let Ai guide her.

After finishing the breakfast for three people, Winnet left Mingmei at home. She went to the church to be a mascot for half a day and saw Dr. Chengshi in the welfare home funded by the church. He changed back to a neutral dress, but was still mistaken for a sister. He seemed to enjoy it a little bit, after all, he was not going to find his original identity. He greeted Winnet and asked about Renata. It seems that after joining the organization, the two rarely met. However, what he didn't know was that Winnet had even less interactions with him.

Winnett learned that he had obtained a medical license under his new identity and was currently employed by a private hospital. Since his main business was dentistry, his income was still considerable.

Originally, Winnet wanted to bet on him, but seeing that he was very satisfied with his current life, she gave up the idea of ​​asking him to open a clinic on his own. She just told him that he could come to her anytime he wanted to run his own business. Although it was just a precaution, if he got hurt, he could go to him directly without a certificate.

"Then I accepted it. Although it would be busier to open my own store, it is also one of my dreams," he said.

Winnet saw that he saw through her thoughts and wanted to provide secret support, so she actively accepted the proposal. He also said that he wanted to establish a mutual aid relationship with the church because he loved children and was not too obsessed with money. He also joked that Winnet might not be interested in his small clinic. She didn't expect it to be so smooth, and the two of them started discussing the location and scale directly.

She called over Tian Qian.

"Speaking of which, the medical industry is still not well regulated. My hospital has sold homemade medicines without authorization, and the sales of other medicines have exceeded the standard. These days, I have also seen many patients using other people's national insurance. The private sale of medical devices is also common."

He hinted that Winnet could get contraband and surgical instruments, and would provide corresponding medical assistance. He also implicitly reminded her not to attack innocent people. It was easy to communicate with smart people. Tian Qian directly proposed to open a hospital in the name of the church and use donations to guarantee its operation.

She thought of the doctors who came last time and asked Akane Fanta to extend an olive branch.

Although low fees are charged to a certain group of people, regular medical treatment must also be provided.

As for the license, it was actually the simplest thing. Durant was already doing this to transfer benefits to the congressmen. It was just a small matter, and Sophia only needed to mention it briefly.

513 Organization's Funding

Recruiting personnel and training all require Fan Tianqian to formulate plans.

After several successful actions, Winnett successfully obtained the organization's funds. The signal from that person was to let her continue to expand the scale of charity and get involved in various industries. Tian Qian was promoted to a small leader and managed a group of people. Now she started wearing glasses and suits, and looked no different from a strong woman in her thirties. Winnett sold part of her shares in name and injected funds into the group she created. In fact, the shareholders were still members of the organization. Most of the funds were provided by the organization, and a small part was used as a way to launder money.

Now, apart from the church which is still her own, the rest can be said to be half the organization's property.

As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow.

The organization did not place anyone in the organization, but handed it over to Winette to manage. Winette delegated power, which was equivalent to Tian Qian controlling the specific operation. If she could achieve the same level as Pisco one day, she might also be promoted to become a core member.

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Transferring assets in the name of charity, operating behind the scenes, this is the American way. That person and Akane Fantian have understood that trick and even improved it. Even the charity part is just a trivial consumption in the money laundering process.

Because the time span is too long, there is no way to trace these funds. All it takes is a name. Even if it cannot withstand a detailed investigation, there is no way to find the core evidence.

Winette couldn't imagine how much money the organization had.

There is not enough space for a single line in the account.

Although she could have embezzled some, there was no need to do so. She invested part of her assets in Sofia's project, and once the Fantasy Park was completed, she could enter the real estate investment industry. She still had a basic macro perspective, and finance was an unstable bomb.

That person had the same idea. Even the funds raised by gin and vodka were all invested in science and technology, and the rest were also chosen in the real economy and shipping industry.

Winnet thought, that shameless old liar - the nonsense said by her predecessor, Abbes, might be true - he could go from being penniless to being worth millions. Although he still looked penniless in front of her, he actually had no idea how much money he had embezzled from the organization and how many people he had harmed. A good liar could make people willingly give him money and even have them sign their names on the estate trusteeship documents.

"Here are the accounts," Akane Fantian took out a thick stack of papers, revealing a look of both pain and joy, "We have done two projects at the same time, targeting ordinary families and wealthy people. The revenue from the latter can offset the previous hole, and even have a surplus, with 30 million yen in various accounts. As for the new capital injection, it is 2 billion yen. We opened a club near the Beika Central Building and rented an office building in a nearby commercial district for training and guidance. Thanks to the 'generous sponsors', we are now fully capable of operating a hospital of sufficient specifications and providing medical services to other industries."

"I'll leave it to you. As for the salary, you can decide for yourself."

"I'll do it myself?"

"You are the boss!" Winnet patted her shoulder, stood up and said respectfully.

"Pastor, please don't do this..."

"I'm serious! You are supposed to be in charge. Also, you have to show your desires so that you won't be targeted by the organization."

She said coldly in Fan Tianqian's ear:

"This is not a joke. You'd better be more greedy, live a more luxurious life, and maintain or even improve your business ability."

"I... I understand." Akane Fanta shuddered, and she felt a sense of terror running straight down her spine.

Then, with all her might, she said to Winnet:

"But I don't make all the decisions. You have to give me guidance. To me, you are my real boss."

Show loyalty.

Winnet believed she had never experienced the terror of the organization.

There was a moment of silence; Akane's heart was beating like the hands of a clock. The halo of light from the window made the ceiling look white, while the half-closed curtains were very dark, like overlapping black gauze. Winette smiled as usual, showing a safe and friendly smile, and her laughter was light and happy.

Akane Fantian suddenly felt like she had survived a disaster. She had been with this good-tempered pastor for so long that she sometimes forgot that she belonged to a criminal group. Her teeth, which had been biting her lips, loosened and she felt a little relieved. Then, she saw Winnett take out a heavy thing from her arms and put it in her hand.

It's a gun.

Winette said:

"Use it as a self-defense device, or lock it up at home."

She said that if something happened to Fan Tian Qian, she would be very troubled. However, she did not hesitate to continue to intimidate her:

"You have to obey the organization, not me. Only if you don't make mistakes and obey the organization completely can you live in peace. Otherwise, the bullet from this gun will hit you in the chest."

"I understand." said Akane Fanta.

If she showed obvious inclination towards her, that would be the beginning of danger. Winnett thought that the man had some special reason for letting Rum go, and she was not Rum, and it was wrong to cultivate her own team. She was not like Gin, a man who could see through everything at a glance, and his naked desires and devilishness were not concealed. And she——

She considered herself to be nothing.

The center is now occupied.

They don't know yet.

People like her whose thoughts are unpredictable can be used, but cannot be made into confidants.

After giving a brief reminder to Akane Fanta, Winnett was ready to leave. Before leaving, Akane Fanta asked her for instructions on something, which was caused by a letter from singer Akiba Reiko; Winnett read it and saw that the general content was about her soliciting sponsorship for her concert. The strong words in her words were not concealed, such as "I will not let you down", "cooperation is a priority", etc. The wording was formal, which was very different from her previous witty remarks. Her personality reminded Winnett of Xiao Ai, so she agreed.

Frankly, she loves her singing voice.

A voice that was completely different from her own, rich, profound, and full of vitality, a voice that only a healthy, energetic human being could possess.

Change is rapid.

It’s been a long year. It must be an illusion, Winnet thought.

The chorus concert that was supposed to be held has not started yet, maybe it will be next year. Akiba Reiko is still not here to guide, she is preparing her core single and has put commercial cooperation on hold.

As autumn deepens, the air becomes drier.

After the last mission, she had plenty of time to rest. There was no news from Vermouth yet, she was still playing house, and she was also living her life; she went out with Akemi, sometimes driving for a ride, sometimes going fishing, and after Ai got out of school, they planned dinner and brought Dr. Agasa to enjoy it together. Occasionally, Edogawa would shamelessly come over to eat and ask Ai for the antidote. Since the restaurant incident, Xiaolan no longer doubted him, and life gradually returned to peace.

514 Painting Skills Display

By the weekend, Winnet's expected date did not come.

The cause was that the night before, Ayumi, who went shopping with her mother, witnessed an arsonist and was frightened.

Ai told her it was okay, but her worried expression betrayed her concern for the girl and her love for her friend. Although Winnet felt a little regretful, she felt relieved. She thought that time was changing Ai, enriching her feelings, and she would slowly get closer to her. Her love was growing, and she was thinking more and more about her lover.

So, Winnet took the initiative to ask to solve this matter first.

She saw Xiao Ai's charming smile, beautiful and warm. She hugged her neck apologetically, and Winnet could feel her small chest rising and falling with her breathing; her sharp eyes showed a lazy side at this time, and she opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

Winnet blinked exaggeratedly to indicate "it's okay"; Ai saw her look and couldn't help but smile. This kind of silent communication came from tacit understanding.

The girl kissed the tiny upper earlobe.

Doorbell rang.

Winnet's heartbeat slowed down a beat, and Ai's arm left her neck.

"Alas, death always comes at the wrong time."

Now, Ai has changed Conan's view from a disaster star to the god of death.

"Oh, it's time!" Winnett said, "Clyde sent me a message."

However, Xiao Ai still looked at her with a mocking look.

"Well, it doesn't matter. You'll get used to it sooner or later anyway!... The timing is always wrong, like then, and now, but also in the future. These are all promises you made. If it really continues like this as you said, you have to be mentally prepared."

"I'm ready! But it's still morning."

"Humans are creatures that are in heat 24 hours a day, regardless of the season."

As always, Ai made some sharp and explicit remarks, which Winnett said were not ladylike.

"Most of them are just pretending. But you give me that feeling, so it's really fun to see you let go of your reserved side!"

"Yeah……"

Winnet didn't think she had anything to do with being a lady. She had always been the opposite of Sister Alyssa. She rushed to open the door. Conan was outside, and the other members of the Junior Detective Team had gathered. When everyone was there, they should go to the police station. Normally, Dr. Agasa should have taken them there today, but he had to attend a meeting today, so this matter fell on her.

Clyde was called in to act as driver.

If she could drive herself, she wouldn't need him. Unfortunately, the driving qualifications are too strict for people with poor eyesight.

In the car, Winette also learned some information.
