215 Video games are a good way to vent

He turned around slowly, revealing a somewhat sly face.

A small man with sofa-colored hair.

Winnet doesn't remember seeing each other.

The other party didn't answer her question, but ran away when he was about to take the road. Before he could take two steps, he was tripped by Winnet.Then she poked the man's head with the tip of her umbrella.

"You'd better explain, sir, or I'll call the police," said Winnet.

"Don't call the police," the man panicked, "I'm a detective, someone sent me to investigate what you've been doing recently."

"I understand."

Winnet didn't make things difficult for him and removed the umbrella.Without him answering questions, she knew who sent him—Sophia.Naturally, it was impossible for her to show strong force in front of ordinary people. It was probably because the other party was curious about what she was doing that they called the detective over.

"There is so much money that there is no place to spend it."

While complaining, Winnet thought that she did not leave her phone number to Sophia, she never used the landline at home, and usually left the church number.

"An accident, I don't have the energy to follow her around for a while."

Winnet left the trivial things behind, she walked for about 5 minutes, and Clyde's car stopped in front of her.

"Good morning, Clyde."

"Good morning, Miss." He waited for Winnet to get into the car, and said slowly, "Miss... is there anything that the man needs to pay attention to? I don't think you need to follow at all, if he can't even do this well , he is only at this level, and he is not the person the organization needs at all."

Winnet put the umbrella by her hand, shifted her weight to the backrest, took a deep breath, and said softly, "I'm just here to relieve the pressure."

Although Gin asked her to take care of Shirley, if she visited her frequently, it would inevitably arouse unnecessary suspicion.I also have nothing to do in the church, and I have no other commissions for the time being.Winnet could vaguely feel that her emotions were temporarily overwhelmed, not only because Akai Shuichi was still alive, but more because of her entanglement with this weird phenomenon.

"ease?"

"Haven't you tried it? I mean, Japanese video games. If you're not busy, you can try it."

"Is this an invitation?"

"No, sir." Winnet didn't intend to walk with people, in her eyes, socializing with people is a pressure.Especially when both parties can't relax in front of each other.

Although she is often nervous in front of Shirley, she is relaxed most of the time.Because she knows that in this space, she can do whatever she wants, and Shirley will directly and concisely put forward her own ideas instead of testing each other.The way they get along is more like a family than a pair of young lovers.

"If you compete with me in video games, I don't think you will be happy. There is only one kind of guy who is happy in the face of setbacks, and that is the one who gets up and tramples the opponent under his feet. What do you think?"

"If you can think that way, I can feel at ease." Clyde drove Winnet to Mantian Company.

He noticed that Winnet was carrying a canvas bag, and felt a little incongruous in his heart. Even from the priest's point of view, it was too plain—too cheap to match her identity and beauty.Its surface is even dirty, but as long as she holds it, it seems to become shiny, no less than silk and leather.

From the surface, she looks like she exudes some kind of deceptive brilliance, which confirms the logic formula of some absurd and horror novels. There is always another side under the deep layer——which is completely contrary to the brilliance, like black mud gushing out weird phenomenon.

At this time, the parking lot next to the company was almost full.There are many ordinary family groups on the road, and there are also people with walking sticks and bowler hats, with a bit of British gentleman style in the [-]th century, as if they are about to start a grand party.

"Have a nice day, miss."

After Winnet got out of the car, Clyde opened the window and said goodbye to her.

"See you."

Holding an umbrella in hand, Winnet followed the team into the hall on the first floor of Mantiantang Club.At this moment, she heard a familiar voice, and cast a suspicious glance into the distance—the Maori family was also in the line.This made her feel a sense of coincidence. For a moment, she even thought that the detective had spotted something. When she was planning something, the Maori detective was always on the scene.

And of course, there's the abnormal kid named Edogawa Conan.

Mao Lilan, who entered the hall to talk to Conan, raised her eyes and happened to see Winnet in the queue. She ran over and said to Winnet, "Miss Winnet, why are you here? What a coincidence, you are also here." Come to my dad's press conference for the game?"

When Mao Lilan spoke, she folded her hands, bowed slightly, and her big eyes were wide open. "Unexpectedly, Miss Winnet is also interested in detective games."

"Uh, a game supervised by your father?"

Mao Lilan knew that there was a misunderstanding, and she explained: "Well, the staff of Mantiantang Company found my father and made a game with the theme of 'Moori Kogoro's Reasoning Mansion'. He was specially invited to the press conference .”

Winnett nodded and said, "So that's how it is, Ms. Mori. I heard that Man Heaven is open to the public today, and you can experience various games. I came here on a special trip. I'm still very interested in Japanese video games."

"In that case, why don't Miss Winette come with us?" Mao Lilan's tone showed sincerity, "Isn't it more fun to play games together?"

"That's fine," Winnet said. "Maybe there will be special treatment for the famous Maori detective."

She was joking and laughing.At this time, Conan and Maori came together.

"It's okay, Detective Mori doesn't seem to be in a good condition." Winnett reminded Moori Kogoro when he saw that he was standing unsteadily.

"It's okay, it's normal for Dad. When he heard the news, he wanted to celebrate what he said last night and drank a lot of wine." Mao Lilan looked back at Kogoro with displeasure, and then Greeting Conan, "Conan, what a coincidence. Miss Winnett is also here, come and say hello to her."

"Hello, Sister Winnet."

Conan greeted with a big smile.Winnet's inexplicable questioning last time made him look embarrassed.He has also been introspecting recently, trying to behave like a child as much as possible, and he has restrained himself in many things.The process of helping Mori Kogoro to solve the case is getting smoother and smoother-becoming a well-known detective, maybe he will be able to trace the news of gin and vodka in a short time.

Mori Kogoro looked haggard with a hangover. He walked in front of the three of them, and when he was about to speak, he felt sick and quickly covered his mouth.

Conan complained in his heart:

Is uncle's virtue really all right?

"I've got hangover meds here,"

Winnet took out a medicine bottle from the canvas bag and handed it to Mao Lilan.

"Thank you, Miss Winnet."

Mao Lilan found the water dispenser at the edge of the venue, took a glass of water from a self-serve paper cup, came to Kogoro, and took out the medicine from the medicine bottle.

When Conan saw the white capsule, his back trembled.The two men in black infused him with red and white capsules, and as time passed, the memories of that time became clearer.

Mori Kogoro was a little confused, and drank the capsule with the assistance of Mori Lan.

Winnet began to observe Kogoro Mori's reaction, watching while queuing.The medicine bottle she gave to Mao Lilan was given to her by Shirley, and it contained the anti-alcohol medicine she studied.

Shirley thought she was becoming an alcoholic, but she wasn't, and wasn't even interested in alcoholic beverages.Maybe Shirley didn't like how she looked drunk, so she invented a hangover drug and asked her to give feedback on the effect.Winnet felt that it was too stupid to drink alcohol specifically to test its effect, so she used ready-made objects as test subjects.Anyway, it's only for hangovers, it's impossible to eat people to death.

The four of them lined up together, and it didn't take long for Kogoro Mori to wake up.

"This medicine is really effective!" Mori Kogoro said pleasantly, "With it, wouldn't it be possible to drink more alcohol? Hahaha...Miss Moriarty, what is the name of this medicine? "

Winnet was a little embarrassed, thinking that the Maori detective's perspective was really strange.

"Ah, this is developed by my friend's company. It has not yet been put into mass production, so there is no official name for the time being. Although it is a trial product, its safety is guaranteed. So far, its effect is not bad." She prevaricated with.

Winnett was not "generous" in giving the medicine to Kogoro Mori.It was prepared by Shirley for her.Winnet felt that it was a token of the heart, like everything Shirley had done for her so far.It might seem pedantic to take it so seriously, but that's who she is. ——The church life related to the small town has never been forgotten.

Winnet and Mao Lilan stood in front chatting.

She noticed that Mao Lilan never mentioned Kudo Shinichi's name like last time, and the hidden emotions were revealed in a subtle way like petals held in her hands.

Mao Lilan mentioned the topic of love.

"Miss Winnet, have you ever liked someone?" Mao Lilan asked.

Winnet didn't answer for a moment.

They're in different worlds, they lack a commonality, and she doesn't want to "show off" her Shirley everywhere.

Selfish love, she admits it.

"Sorry, nuns are not allowed to marry, right?"

"No, I'm a priest," she replied, "and it's all right to be married."

However, it still exists as one of the constraints.Naturally, Winnet thought, women in the dark would compromise—there was no need for red tape.

"Sorry, I don't know much about these."

"It's okay, I couldn't tell the difference a long time ago."

Before Winnet said, it was a long time ago.

In order to prevent Mao Lilan from feeling depressed, she took the initiative to return to the topic just now: "Anyone can have someone they like, and the pastor is the same, and so are the nuns."

It is human nature to have this kind of emotion, just like the sad thoughts described in books, not everything will have results.In her opinion, Mao Lilan also held the same sad thoughts, and now she is still yearning for a person who does not exist.Faced with such a situation, she held a bit of pity, but she was not too moved. Similar things can be seen everywhere, and her empathy did not overflow to care about others who are not compact.

"What kind of person is the one Winnet likes?" Mao Lilan looked shy.

"It's a bit unpredictable, it's cold on the outside and hot on the inside."

She picked out some distinctive features and said that it is naturally impossible to disclose gender matters.

"Ah?" Mao Lilan was very stunned, "I think, Miss Winnett, you are more like the one being pursued. You are beautiful, peaceful, and very protective."

"Hahaha, if I were as good as you said, I'm afraid I would have found someone I like very early." Winnet thought it was funny, and laughed loudly.

In the past, she was a problem child in the eyes of Sister Alyssa.When I participated in compulsory education, I was also excluded by others. My personality can be described as quite unpleasant, and I lacked a sense of initiative. Various ideas are always optional.Perhaps thanks to this, a ribbon of fate pointed her to where Shirley was.

Winnet thought to herself: Girls like Mao Lilan are more likely to be liked, although it is a bit scary to smash a telephone pole with her feet.

"Speaking of which, the line is so long!" Mao Lilan leaned out her upper body and glanced at the front. There were at least a dozen people in the line.

"Of course, because almost all the famous people in the video game industry have come to participate." Mori Kogoro who stood behind responded.

Just then, a young man came from behind.As soon as he opened his mouth, Winnet knew who it was—Hideaki Nakajima, the target of this transaction.

"Hey, Mr. Mori!" Hideaki Nakajima stepped forward, pointing his index finger at himself, "Hi, I am Hideaki Nakajima, who is full of heaven. I planned the video game 'Detective Mori Kogoro Mansion'."

"Ah, hello."

Nakajima continued: "Thanks to Mr. Mori, I have completed a set of great video game software."

Hideaki Nakajima focused his attention on Maori and talked eloquently.

"Nakajima, you are really outstanding."

Suddenly, a man in a suit and leather shoes appeared. His hairstyle reminded Winnett of the manga character "Hiroshi Noda". The mouth grows very wide, and reveals itself with undisguised sarcasm.It makes people feel that he is here to dissuade Hideaki Nakajima.

"If you planned that set of video game software..."

"Ueda!" Hideaki Nakajima was surprised.

"Using Maori detectives to design video games will definitely make a lot of money - I accidentally revealed it to you, but three days later, you put forward a proposal with the same theme. In a blink of an eye, a presentation meeting has already been held, you He is a genius who plagiarizes other people's things! Haha!"

The man's name was Ueda Koji, and he said with a smile, "Both work and women!" Then, he turned his head and faced Takeshita Hiroyuki with short hair and glasses, "Are you right?"

"That's right, but... that happened in college. I, I've already forgotten it." Takeshita said awkwardly.The three of them are college classmates, and they work together in Mantiantang after graduation.

"Well, I'll just pretend I didn't see what happened this time." Ueda narrowed his eyes, "I always feel like you're going to be cornered by the underground bank."

Nakajima's face suppressed anger, and Ueda's interruption made him unable to get off the stage.

This episode, which was not very harmonious, ended, and the guests in front were basically gone.Winnet was not interested in Nakajima's relationships, so she came to the counter with the three of the Mori family.

"Number 96." Mori Kogoro got the storage number plate.

Winnet was about to hand the canvas bag to the front desk. Behind her, Takeshita looked at the watch and shouted, "Oops! It's already late!" Ueda looked at the watch and became anxious together.Takeshita said again: "We have to enter the venue as soon as possible to prepare!"

As they talked, they ran past Winnet to the front of the counter, and pressed the leather bag with the company logo on the counter surface.

"You deal with this first."

"mine too!"

Nakajima stepped out and reminded: "You two don't jump in line, okay?"

"You'd better move faster, too."

"You will be scolded by the boss for being late."

The two reminded Nakajima in turn, and there was one more guy who jumped in line.Nakajima said to the staff: "Please, don't make a mistake."

Winette withdrew her hand. Although the behavior of jumping in line made her uncomfortable, this is the opponent's home field.She glanced sideways and saw that Mao Lilan didn't mind at all, but instead spoke to the three of them with a smile.

"All three of you use the same suitcase!"

"Yes! It's not just a suitcase, but a tie clip and a watch. This is the idea of ​​our president. He hopes that ordinary people can leave a deep impression on our company." Takeshita explained.
