Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

The lenses are reflective.

……

Winnett's speed was for others to see. She accelerated as she ran, wantonly and happily. Xiao Ai, feeling the vibration, hugged her arm, her cheek against her chest, her brown short hair dancing in the night wind like short waves; she could only hear the humming sound of the wind, looking up at Winnett's profile.

"I see, you just wanted to hug me, but you had to find such a silly excuse. I think it would be more comfortable to ride in a car," she said hypocritically.

Winnett argued that she was running faster, and she felt a little dizzy. She sped up again. Ai could clearly feel Winnett's body temperature rising and the movement of her internal organs. Although it was an exaggerated speed, the embrace did not shake very fast. In this sprint, the sound became more unclear. Her cheeks and muscles rubbed against each other. The feeling was not good, but she felt reluctant to leave. When the space returned to the flow speed of stillness, Ai did not struggle.

She brought spare glasses with her so she could find Yuantai and the others.

"Yeah. Follow the path here to the west, and they'll be nearby."

Winnet slowed down, and Xiao Ai stayed safely in her arms. The red dots on the tracking glasses were still gathered together and stayed in one place.

In addition to the three of them, there was a man in a dirty windbreaker; he lit a match and was trying to sneak up on the children from behind. Winnett put Xiao Ai down, and the two exchanged glances and immediately understood each other's thoughts; Winnett went around the other side of the alley and picked up an aluminum trash can on the side. Xiao Ai glanced at her movements, and just as the children were frightened by the arsonist, she spoke from behind to attract his attention.

"Hey, do you know what the ghost behind your butt is?"

The arsonist turned around, and he looked exactly like the one in Winnet's portrait. He was stunned when he saw that there was only a little girl. He was tall and thin, and his beard and hair were as dirty as his windbreaker stained with kerosene. His bright and crazy eyes were bright in this turbid dress, like a flame that was about to devour life.

His movements were slow, as if he was really thinking about Ai's puzzle.

But he was looking in the wrong direction and lacked the necessary vigilance. When he was concentrating on watching Ai, a shadow fell from the sky. Winnett, who had flipped over to the window on the wall like parkour, held the trash can in both hands and put a pot lid over her head.

Literally, the twin peaks pierce the ears.

She slapped the sides of the empty trash can hard, and the arsonist was trapped in the deafening enclosed space and swayed from side to side. Then Winnet punched him in the abdomen, and he fell to the ground.

But I didn't faint.

As he was dying, a hoarse voice could be heard clearly.

"garbage can……"

It's really a puzzle.

All of a sudden, his evaluation in Miss Winnet's mind changed from a vicious criminal to a funny talent.

"bingo."

Xiao Ai tilted her head slightly.

"Why is the answer a trash can?" asked Winnett.

"'Butt' can be written as 'ketsu'. If you are cursed, you will become a monster (化ける). Ghosts are also monsters. A cursed butt is '化けたケツ'. Put them together and you get a trash can (バケツ)."

A cold joke in the style of Dr. Agasa.

Miss Winnett curled her lips.

Her little Ai has been led astray!

……

518 A Dream Come True

Seeing Ai and Winnett solve the arsonist in a few moves, the fleeing Yuanta and the others were no longer panicked, but came over excitedly, as if they had defeated the suspect themselves and now was the time to reap the fruits of victory. Their euphoric look soon became unsustainable, and Ai scolded them. If it were Edogawa, they might have refuted a sentence or two, but if it was Ai, they would not have the courage. Winnett also felt that Ai was very courageous, as well as a calm intellectuality and elegant temperament. When she talked about it, it was as if she saw the stern side of a gentle elder.

No wonder they didn't dare to breathe.

About five minutes later, Shiratori also arrived. At the end of the corridor, where the arsonist had set the fire, there was an orange glow, and the shadow of the fire was like a hideous elf. A wooden warehouse with its back to the fire was burning fiercely and was almost engulfed. Shiratori handcuffed the arsonist, then searched him for a tin can of kerosene and matches, confirming that he had made no mistake. Mitsuhiko pointed to the fire not far away and said to Shiratori with some palpitations:

"Look at that warehouse, is there anything wrong? The fire is already so big."

"The warehouse was originally scheduled to be demolished next week. There was nothing inside. The firefighters are already putting out the fire." Shiratori explained the situation. There were indeed fire truck alarms around. The small intersection they were at did not allow the fire truck to pass, so the firefighters were on the main road on the opposite side. The restless children followed Shiratori to meet up with the police force.

Miss Winnet's gourmet temptations had no effect either.

"They won't fall for your trick," Xiao Ai said with a smile, "Now they are probably thinking about being praised by the police uncle."

"It's good enough that I don't get scolded."

"Who told them they were just kids? That's how children tend to have unrealistic and beautiful imaginations."

She turned her back to the fire and saw Winnet smiling as if to say, "You can be like them."

Ignoring Winnet's occasional persuasion, Xiao Ai yawned and patted Winnet's arm. Before exhaling and opening her eyes, she fell into her arms again. It seemed that the fire on the other side raised the temperature of the air, and she felt warm.

"Then I'll give you a beautiful dream now, do you like it?" Xiao Ai asked, with a smile that looked a bit like a sly grin.

"great."

"You are really easy to satisfy."

"Have it?"

"Isn't it? You are so stupid that you don't even know how to take advantage of the fact that you are favored. I am different."

What's the difference? It's exactly the same. She kept the words in her heart and didn't say them out loud. She seemed to see Shirley, who had returned to her original state, looking at her with a charming smile. But in fact, Xiao Ai was closing her eyes slightly, and her breath was hitting the inside of her arm. Although the girl closed her eyes, she still murmured that in her imagination, the position should be reversed, because it was more cinematic and in line with her appreciation of beauty.

As for Miss Winnet's beauty, it was left behind. She said that Winnet had no idea how to use the girls' willful weapons, and could only be ordered around by her. If she met the wrong person, the result would be tragic, as she said - a woman who was deceived and abandoned. Winnet didn't take these alarmist words to heart. Her love was deformed, one of the miracles, and a place of yearning that could not be resisted. She held her and walked slowly. In the noisy firefighting scene, they were like layers that didn't fit in, until they were caught by the Junior Detective Team. However, the childish child could not understand this tranquility, but laughed a little sadly.

"Usually, Haibara-san acts like an adult, but I didn't expect that she would act like a spoiled child in front of adults." Ayumi whispered.

"That's right, I stopped needing my parents to hold me two years ago." Yuantai followed.

"That's because I can't hold you." Mitsuhiko teased Genta.

This happy atmosphere did not last long. Megure, who was acting as the temporary conductor on the scene, suddenly shouted and his expression changed drastically.

Takagi's name was mentioned.

Sato, who was originally looking for the murderer, also appeared at the scene, staring at the intense flames. From a few words, Winette and the others learned that, by coincidence, Takagi was tied up in that warehouse.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's too late," said the white bird.

"What are you talking about!" Sato shouted, her voice revealing a firmness that would never accept it, "He must still be alive, get out of the way!" She pretended to rush into the sea of ​​fire, but was blocked by Shiratori, and she pushed him away. "Get out of my way!"

After the obstruction was removed, the outer perimeter of the fire began to collapse.

It seems that there is no chance at all.

Sato stared at the place with his eyes wide open, muttering something like "idiot". Finally, he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and shouted:

"Takagi you bastard!"

Her face was filled with unforgettable tears and sadness, and then the sadness came and ended quickly.

Miss Winnett had already noticed Takagi who was trying desperately to squeeze in from the audience, and wanted to remind her, but was stopped by Ai.

"It's a touching farewell," Xiao Ai said in a lazy voice, "Let them perform on their own."

"But she looked very sad."

"It has to be sad to be profound." Xiao Ai looked at her with a thought-provoking expression, "The lover who should have been buried in the sea of ​​fire suddenly appeared in front of me. Every girl has had such a dream."

Winnett couldn't quite empathize. Before she met Ai, dreams were far away and incomprehensible. It is said that the depths of dreams are connected to the devil's residence and are a hotbed of desire. She looked at Ai in a daze, as if asking, "Have you had the same dream?"

"My dream has become reality, hasn't it? I can't forget the way you desperately rushed to my side amid the explosions," she said bluntly.

Winette's face was rosy in the firelight.

"Just this once," Xiao Ai poked her cervical vertebra, "It's best not to encounter those dangers again. Such a dramatic reunion can only be based on the premise that everything is fine. Their relationship has taken a step further, and we have also been emotionally touched. This is the key to my approval. Don't do anything stupid that is deliberately created! In my opinion, you have not made any progress since you were fifteen."

Quite the opposite.

She was fifteen, Winnet thought. From that time on, she began to change, becoming active again from a stagnant state. She stared at the ragged Takagi and the motionless Sato who looked back with tears in her eyes, and thought that what Ai said was right, and that she was emotionally touched, maybe a little. It is easier to believe that something is really happening than to believe that something is really happening. Only those who maintain appropriate ignorance are sober people.

Except for Sato, most of the other police colleagues were stunned. Takagi explained in front of everyone that he had removed the iron window of the warehouse, escaped from the window, and then came here in a daze. His head was bleeding and there was a burning smell on his body. Sato came up and supported him who could not hold on. Megure sent someone to call an ambulance. Sato checked his condition and found a pistol in his arms.

"You have a pistol to use!" she said. "How could you be so stupid as not to use the pistol to unlock the handcuffs?"

Winnett figured it out a little bit, and she said:

"He doesn't want to destroy the handcuffs you gave him."

"Yes! This is your father's relic, Officer Sato!"

"That's why he couldn't do it."

"This guy really loves to be a hero."

The three little ones are talking to each other.

“These people tend to die the fastest.”

When saying this, Ai looked at Winnet as a warning.

However, Miss Winnett was self-indulgent and had the opposite effect. She thought that she was not as weak as Takagi, and she must protect the people that Ai cared about, as well as the person herself.

"Come to think of it," Ai added, "This time it was Officer Takagi who solved the mystery of the truth. Edogawa was just enlightened."

When she heard the Shinagawa sign, she also knew the truth. This was because the organization only allowed her to take public transportation and private cars.

Sato's expression froze, but Officer Takagi had already fainted. They had nothing to do with the follow-up, but after Xiao Ai's reminder, the three children immediately remembered Winnet's promise to take them to a barbecue, and from Genta to Ayumi, they talked about grilled eel, grilled beef, and grilled oysters. Even Conan got involved, saying that there was such a good thing, and that he wanted to eat grilled steak.

"You will die soon if you don't eat vegetables." Xiao Ai reminded again.

Miss Winnet's wallet was in great danger. Yuan Tai, who had been hungry for a long time, was not to be underestimated. Fortunately, the location was just at the Qiqu Tavern, and the steak Conan wanted was also affordable. The boss saw that she was an underage girl with so many children, and gave her a discount. Miss Winnet was speechless. She didn't expect that being young would have such an advantage.

Because it was just a meal, and the drinks were all orange juice, the efficiency was much faster than that of adults who drank alcohol. Before the police stopped her for questioning, she asked Clyde to take them home. He complained that he was driving an elementary school bus. Winnet's favorite thing was that Dr. Agasa's house was located in the remote last stop. Just two days ago, Kudo Shinichi showed a flaw and greeted the three little ones in the form of a high school student. Before meeting Conan, the three little ones had no intersection with Dr. Agasa and Xiao Ai, so naturally they would not know Kudo Shinichi.

"The lights are on, it looks like the doctor is back." Before arriving, Xiao Ai invited her, "Would you like to come over and sit down? I only put a little sugar in the coffee I made."

After all, to Winette's taste, coffee can no longer be called coffee, but rather sugar water with a little bit of coffee added.

Winnet accepted it happily. Ai led her to sit on the small sofa, and went to the open kitchen to adjust the coffee machine, which should have been introduced after Ai came. Dr. Agasa's house now looks spacious and clean. Winnet guessed that it was all Ai's secret efforts. Last time, she said that she found a pornographic magazine on Broadway at the doctor's place. Normal single people, especially single men, would never be so clean. In her opinion, Ireland was already a sophisticated man, and to be as meticulous as Bourbon, it was necessary to suspect that the person had a psychological problem.

Dr. Agasa said hello to them, and then assembled machine parts on his workbench. When the coffee was ready, he put down his work and asked for a cup. After sitting down and chatting, he also mentioned his plan to take the children on an autumn outing; being with the children, the old naughty boy also regained his childishness, and Xiao Ai insisted that he take more walks and exercise. Dr. Agasa would rather go on an outing than a painful combination of weight loss punches, not to mention that he can also eat some delicious specialties. In this way, he thought of the top delicacy that must be tasted in Japan in autumn - Matsutake.

Winnet has no objection to traveling. For her, what’s important is to be with Ai.

Dr. Agasa found a travel magazine of the season and found a travel plan with the gimmick of "freshly picked and cooked" among the recommended scenic spots, and a model of cooperation between scenic spots and hotels. His suggestion was affirmed by Xiao Ai, because picking matsutake is a byproduct of mountain climbing, and pine-oak mixed forests generally grow at an altitude of about 2,000 meters. It is a good choice for physical exercise, and matsutake itself is also a healthy food.

The time is set.

Because of the Autumnal Equinox holiday, the holiday is longer than expected, and the scenic spots in Japan can be reached in a few hours by car, and it can be accelerated if you drive faster on the highway. As for the other children, Dr. Agasa has already informed them, and the only thing that has not been finalized is the location, so there is no need to worry about this now.

I don't know when Xiao Ai changed her clothes. Now she was wearing a white pajamas covered with cartoon animal stickers. It was the kind of cute one. When she turned around in the room, some of the loose pajamas swayed, as if she was about to fall. Miss Winnet finally understood Mingmei's hobby. Xiao Ai was also very cute when she was a child. She secretly admired her for a while, but was ordered to leave by Xiao Ai; her smile, the posture of holding the thermos cup, and the slightly tilted head, all the momentum was exhausted. Winnet stood up and stepped back reluctantly, in the form of retreating.

"When you walk, look ahead carefully."

"You can't see it anyway!" she said pretentiously, and then walked out of Dr. Agasa's house amid Ai's laughter.

Everything that happened today, that slightly blurry but full of room for imagination, Xiao Ai's smile flipped in her mind. When she opened the door, she found Mingmei hiding behind it.

If it hadn't been Mingmei, Winette would have thought someone was about to stab her in the kidneys.

"Has the game of hide-and-seek begun?" Winnett said to herself, putting down her shoes.

"We've been discovered..." Mingmei stepped forward and asked, "How was your day?"

"The unsolved case from eighteen years ago has been solved, and the relationship between Officer Takagi and Officer Sato of the Metropolitan Police Department has taken a step further. This is cause for celebration." Winnett said, "Yuanta ate twenty-seven pieces of grilled eel."

"What are you talking about? I'm asking about you and Shiho."

Mingmei raised her eyebrows, thinking that today's date plan was not going well.

"Yeah, it's good." Winnett thought about it and felt that her body circulated quickly, "It's really good."

"Hey, so stingy! I'd better go ask Shiho." Mingmei pouted.

……

519 Lonely Scroll

Winette didn't know whether to say Mingmei was young or immature, so she stared at her angrily. It was hard for her to ignore her girlish anger, as if she had been abandoned. She sorted out her words and roughly told her what happened that day, and Mingmei's attention shifted from them to Sato and Takagi.

She could see that Mingmei simply wanted to listen to stories to entertain herself.

She talked for a while, then went to the bathroom to wash up. The smell of fireworks on her body reminded her of the feeling in the evening and Xiao Ai's words. In the warm environment of the mist, her mind became a little dull. At this moment, a sound of footsteps came into her ears. It turned out that Mingmei brought pajamas. However, Winette suspected that her purpose was not pure.

She usually just wears a shirt and underwear.

The habits left over from that time have not changed.

Spend some time to take care of her hair. When she walked out of the bathroom, Mingmei, who was sitting on the sofa, looked wandering, and after a while, she took the initiative to help her take care of her hair.

Half an hour later, a news report about a fire appeared on a TV program, mentioning a certain unfortunate detective. Mingmei asked her why she stayed in the bathroom for so long today, which made Winnett feel something unusual. She put on a helpless expression, exposed Mingmei's little thoughts, and imitated Xiaoai's bluntness:

“Do I look like someone who would do that kind of thing in the bathroom?”

"Oh, not really. But that's exactly why I'm curious," Mingmei said playfully.
