Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

"get out."

Winnet pointed at her finger and froze there. After Xiao Ai repeated it again, Winnet exited the bathroom embarrassingly.Probably because she felt shy, Winnet thought uncertainly, after all, Xiao Ai didn't feel too shy when she was a teenager.But it was impossible for her to go to bed early alone. Winnet sat on the sofa and turned on the TV with the remote control.

A European thriller was playing on the TV, presumably the disc was not taken out.The plot of the movie is full of mistakes and omissions, the pictures are shoddy, and there are only vulgar and strange scenes.Winnet looked at the screen, but her mind was not on it. Maybe the bathroom was deliberately made like this. She could hear the crackling water clearly from outside.The sound of water has a sense of rhythm that makes people feel empty. For Winnet, who has super hearing, she can even judge every movement of Xiao Ai: moving, turning off the shower, wiping the body, turning on the faucet, starting Splash to fullness.Then, she heard Xiao Ai entering the bathtub, and the sound of her feet rubbing against the bathtub, and then it fell silent, leaving only the crisp echo when the faucet occasionally dripped into the bathtub.

With the premise of imagination, in a sense, it is more impactful than seeing it with one's own eyes, which makes Winnet go crazy.Of course, what she substituted into it was not Xiao Ai when she was a child, but what she looked like when she was young.After knowing that Xiao Ai was fine, she was really relieved, probably because of this feeling of complete relaxation, she couldn't help but have some redundant imaginations and a strange feeling.However, when she thought that Xiao Ai was just a child now, she quickly shook off the picture in her mind.

She turned off the TV, pressed her hands on her cheeks to soothe her muscles, then found out the bathrobe provided in the cupboard, hung it on the bathroom doorknob, and reminded Xiao Ai that she was still in the bathtub.

After 15 minutes, Xiao Ai opened the door and put on the nightgown that Winnet took out.It's not a size for kids either, it's like a fur coat to Xiao Ai.

The bed was not far from the sofa, and the lamp was still on. Seeing Winnet lying on the bed, Xiao Ai turned off the lamp, stepped on her slippers, and sat down on the edge of the bed slowly.Although she used the hair dryer for a while, she still felt her hair was wet. She didn't lie down immediately, and asked softly, "Are you asleep?" She crossed her legs, propped her cheek with her left palm, and felt the bed move "Sure enough, I didn't fall asleep... I don't know if it's because of the movement, or waiting for me? You'd better relax, even if we are in the same bed, there is nothing we can do."

Seeing Xiao Ai joking again, Winnet bit her lower lip: "Go to sleep, Xiao Ai. Looking at today's situation, the police will come to disturb you tomorrow morning."

"That's right."

Since the elementary school class time is not too early, her night owl habit has not been corrected. Even after taking a hot bath, she is still not very sleepy.Pausing for a while, Xiao Ai lay down, and through the faint light, she saw a little bit of flesh color on the side.

Winnet felt her arms being hugged and her body froze.But when she thought that Xiao Ai was a child now, she didn't have any grievances. She completely fell to her side and let her stay in her arms. It didn't take long for her to hear her steady breathing—this age always loves to sleep of.

Early the next morning, the police arrived again.The salvage operation began at dawn, but there was no result until noon.

Xiao Ai, lying on the sofa, asked casually, "Didn't the murderer throw them into the river?"

"Well, it's also possible that it was hidden on the boat. For the unfamiliar police, it is difficult to search every corner carefully."

Winnet glanced at the paintings hanging on the walls of the room. The color tone was dark. As for the specific artistic features, she couldn't tell. She only knew that it was a graphic art painting with color blocks squeezed together. Every room had a similar one. of.She thought, if the murderer was really impulsive, then wearing gloves and protective gear would seem a bit unreasonable, but if the murderer was impulsive enough, the police would not have troubled him for so long.

In the end, the police still couldn't determine who the murderer was.

The way to deal with it is to let everyone go back temporarily, and wait until the investigation is over before summoning them.And today happened to be a holiday, and normally Winnet would stay at the church, but with Xiao Ai by her side, she couldn't help but think a little more.

"I don't know when the doctor will come back."

Winnet said, "Probably tonight."

Xiao Ai was surprised by her answer, "It turned out that you arranged it... I'm just talking about how the doctor's crappy inventions can be invited to such an academic meeting..."

Winnet actually planned to visit the doctor's house today, Xiaolan and Yuanzi's visit disrupted her plan, but it turned out to be a good one, and it turned into an early meeting.Before leaving the boat, she met with Xiaolan and Yuanzi again, and offered to send them off. Clyde was already waiting nearby in his car.

After Xiaolan got into the car, she still had lingering fears.

"The case hasn't been solved yet..."

"Well, it would be nice if Shinichi was here, it must be a trivial matter for him."

Sonoko continued to mention Kudo Shinichi in front of Xiaolan.When Xiaolan was depressed before, she seldom said anything, but seeing that Xiaolan had made up her mind to have a date on Kudo Shinichi's birthday, she said it with confidence.

"What are you talking about him for! My dad can definitely solve the case, there is no need for that egomaniac who suddenly disappeared!"

Winnet sat quietly in the front row and listened silently.

Wynette didn't mention about Xiao Ai until the Maori Detective Agency.

"By the way, Xiao Lan. I think it's better to let Xiao Ai stay with me. My residence is very close to that Dr. A Li. I also want to take this opportunity to get to know him. Besides, I alone It's boring to stay here, I hope to have a child for company. Can you agree to my request?"

Xiaolan didn't seem to expect Winnet to say that.It seems that just as Yuanzi said, the relationship between the two of them has become very good, she thought.Xiao Lan put her eyes on Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ai nodded, acquiescing to this matter.Xiao Lan touched Xiao Ai's head, told her to listen to what Winnet said, and called Dr. A Li by the way, but the phone didn't work, so she finally sent a text message.

After bidding farewell to Xiaolan, Winnett sent her back to the garden before going to her residence.

"Let's go to church." Xiao Ai tugged on Lawinette's sleeve, and after sending the two away, Winnet had already moved to the back seat, "If I go to your residence, I'm afraid she will recognize me. Seeing me like this, she must be worried."

Winnet understood what Xiao Ai meant.

"You want to keep hiding it from her?"

"Isn't there you? As long as you forwarded my letter and conveyed my words, she will believe it, and she can live the current life with peace of mind. Maybe I will tell her, but I don't think now is a good time."

Seeing Xiao Ai's insistence, Winnet turned around.On weekends, the newly recruited staff have gone out to organize activities, and there is no one in the church.When they came to the spacious reception room, Winnet poured Xiao Ai a glass of water. "There's not much here," she said, thinking of the recent changes, "but I plan to make changes soon."

Winnet led Xiao Ai to visit the layout of the church and the "new room" built by Qian Tian.She is going to show off her skills in the experience bakery, and solve the problem of lunch by the way.

"Baking bread...at church?"

"Well, prepare some experience courses. This can also involve young people and elderly people who are interested."

Xiao Ai didn't know what to say, she walked to the window and opened the curtains to make the room brighter.Winnet showed her bread-baking skills, but she hadn't done it for a long time, and her technique became a little rusty, Xiao Ai saw this and followed up to help.Put the prepared embryos into the oven, and when the time was up, Winnett took out the bread, untied the thread and paper, and the yellow-orange-orange bread appeared in front of her eyes, exuding a rich aroma.

"how is the taste?"

"It is too sweet."

"No way, the only material left is raisins."

……

247 Church anecdote

Both of them tasted it and came to the unanimous conclusion that the bread was too sweet.

So, Winnet put the kettle on the gas stove, prepared to boil water to make tea, and took out a lighter from the cabinet.

"Your memory is really scary, you can even remember its location," Xiao Ai watched Winnet prepare everything, "Sometimes I almost suspect that your eyes are no different from ordinary people - I have private It has been studied, but due to the supervision of the organization, there is no specific experiment."

"that's right."

Winnet said.

Although from a physical point of view, her eyes do have pathological problems, but there is a supernatural gift, which does not hinder her too much.Before accepting this gift, she was used to hearing the life around her.

She was worried about confessing in front of Xiao Ai, because she couldn't explain it, and she couldn't pull out a magic drug like ATPX4869 to show that she had recovered part of her eyesight.

"If I devote myself to research, I will always find a way." Xiao Ai said, making up her mind in her heart.

When the antidote research has a breakthrough or stagnates, she will turn to the research on the medicine for the treatment of amblyopia, which at least makes sense in theory and has a certain possibility of success.

"What's important now is the antidote for turning you back into an adult..." Wynette felt something was wrong halfway through her speech. Even if this drug was developed, it would only put Xiao Ai in danger. I will try to solve the 'Miyano Shiho' matter, until then, I have to wrong you to continue to maintain the current state."

Xiao Ai understood what Winnet meant. She was not the one who wanted to change back to an adult. She shrugged and said, "There is already the best little mouse waiting. Presumably, in order to change back, he Be willing to take no matter how many risks the antidote entails."

"That's true."

Winnet felt that the value of Kudo Shinichi had increased a lot.

She told Xiao Ai to wait a moment, and walked to her private room in the church.The curtains in the room are completely opposite to the attitude I maintain in the church. The interior is dark and damp, with a simple style, but the curtains are opaque dark gray. Stacks of books and newspapers are randomly piled up on the floor. Except for stools, there is almost nothing. Things are put where they belong.

When Xiao Ai disappeared, she had no intention of tidying up the room at all.Fortunately, she used to use it as a temporary residence, with refrigerators and dinner plates, and dirty mugs.

Winnet cleaned and dried the dinner plate and mug, poured milk that had not expired in the cup, returned to Xiao Ai, and divided the bread into slices of reasonable size with a knife.

Xiao Ai has no objection to such a breakfast-like lunch. Although it may be the right choice to go out and find a restaurant, she still does not want to appear on the street in a grandiose way due to psychological factors, let alone a restaurant that is easy to leave an impression. place.

"So-so." Xiao Ai commented.

"Under the current conditions, we can only make do with it."

Winnet did not prepare fresh food, and there was no such thing as a frying pan in the church. Up to now, it is still only at the stage of planning to gather the number of people who need to prepare meals by itself.

The water in the pot boiled, and Winnett filled the teapot with water, and taking into account Xiao Ai's acceptance, she found some butter. "Well, it feels pretty good." She spread on a small piece of bread, and sat on the chair next to Xiao Ai.Xiao Ai saw an animated figure engraved on the handle of the knife and fork. It was a blue cat playing the violin flamboyantly.

Carefully turn the slices of bread with your fingers, then spread a thick layer of butter, and when eating, let the plate be directly under the bread to catch the falling crumbs.Since she has been in Japan for a long time, this way of eating gives her a strange sense of freshness - just like the daily relationship with Winnett now.

"The doctor said he will be back tonight," Xiao Ai returned to eat the leftover bread crumbs, fiddling with the knife and fork.When she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. According to the pace between them, this kind of getting along is undoubtedly precious, so it seems contradictory-they will have more opportunities to meet and get along next.

"Tell me about him? Remember I was walking by his house one day and I heard a big bang, bang, like an old 'dirt bomb' recipe, and saw his house like A big hole has been opened like a temple that no one worships." At least she knew that the other party was an inventor, and the content of the research was curious.However, Xiao Ai can't say what the doctor is studying, just some practical small objects, like the ones he prepared for Kudo Shinichi, they can always come in handy, but if they are larger and have a more definite purpose, The Ph.D.'s research will inevitably fail - and it is seriously inconsistent with expectations.

In Xiao Ai's impression, he recently planned to invent a rocket that can fly in the sky, and wanted to solve the problem of ground congestion, but he became "flying into the sky", flying around, causing various accidents.She told this to Winnet, and saw a candid smile on Winnet's face.

Xiao Ai thought to herself, isn't it very interesting?When she talked about this, she realized that there were very few things that could be shared with Warm Tie. What Shirley in the laboratory could share with her was the work of raising mice and talking about the distress exposed in some experiments.When it comes to fashion magazines, Winnet can't keep up with the rhythm at all. It's not that she doesn't understand at all, but that she always comes up with weird ideas, such as unusual and unacceptable matching colors, and "too fashionable" hairstyle and accessories, but I am conservative like the old girl who appears most often in the book.

Even if Winnet did something like holding a handmade cake and enjoying afternoon tea in a coffee shop, she didn't think it was a surprise.If she wasn't around, Winnet would be so quiet and uninteresting.

There are still school matters to talk about—Xiao Ai gathered the bread crumbs into a cone, not sure whether to talk about that aspect.Because it's still a cocoon - the evil place in Winnett's mouth.To a certain extent, she spent more time in school than Winnett, but she didn't feel Winnett's feelings. It might be better to say that among the children, except for the weird body of Conan Edogawa In addition, they are all quite cute, allowing her to see the kind-hearted and pure side of children.

Xiao Ai yawned, straightened her legs, put one foot on the ankle of the other, and said: "If you insist on finding a topic, the only thing you can talk about is my time at Didan Primary School. But I It's only been a few days since I went to school, and I haven't encountered anything particularly interesting, but the children are pretty cute." She turned her face and looked at Winnet, "I think it's your loss that you didn't go to school much, It’s really easy to meet nice people.”

Winnet replied, "I've met the best people."

"Spoof. I mean, it's a good thing to get in touch with people around you. Don't think that I don't know you. You look harmless to humans and animals. In fact, the city is very deep. It's okay to lure those two ignorant girls. Fool me, it's still too shallow."

"Uh……"

Winnet was choked up by Xiao Ai's words, and the vocabulary in her head was washed away, but a fascinated fantasy soon emerged.That is, she and Xiao Ai went to school together, but because of the age difference, her illusion was quickly shattered.After that, she spoke slowly: "How can you say it's a trick? I'm dating them very sincerely."

"Oh, dating."

"In the sense of an ordinary friend, to put it bluntly, the same as the two little sisters?"

"Arrogance as always, anyway, 17 is not a child anymore. Some people are not as mature as others."

Seeing Winnet, who still had milk stains on Xiao Ai's lips, felt that her words lacked convincing.

It seems that maturity has a certain relationship with the appearance of age, no matter how mature Xiao Ai's attitude is, in the eyes of others, she is just a little kid.

"By the way, are you living with my sister now?" Xiao Ai asked.

This sentence sounded very ambiguous to Winnett's ears.

"Probably..."

"It's hard to say what's going to happen to my sister who is gentle and pleasant, and has a face somewhat similar to mine?" Seeing Winnet hesitate in speaking, Xiao Ai stimulated her again.

However, she knew in her heart that the two of them couldn't make any sparks.One is still obsessed with a certain cheating man, and the other probably only thinks of her.But this does not prevent her from teasing Winnet. The so-called small talk cannot be established when she is not interested, but when she is interested, it will evolve into uneven routines and gossip.

"No, I swear I didn't think that way."

Winnet is very concerned about the word "loyalty", even if Xiao Ai shows the slightest suspicion, she feels vaguely uneasy.

"I didn't say yes either. Then tell me about her."

Seeing what Xiao Ai said, she gave a general account of Mingmei's situation.In life, except for the occasional meals that Minmei prepares, the two of them hardly interfere with each other, and there are things like language learning.During the period when Minmei lived in her home, the two did not communicate much. Winnett felt that the reason was that Minmei was too empathetic and knew that she was not used to "deep conversations."

According to Xiao Ai's understanding of her sister, she thinks that Minmei might use a tumbler to secretly listen to Winnett on the wall.

They were talking, and after a while, Winnet heard something else.She guessed that it was Qian Tian who came, only high-heeled shoes would make such a unique sound, and Qian Tian was the only one who would wear them in church.Xiao Ai communicated with Winnet with her eyes, in a state of seeming shyness. "It's from the church," Winnet said. "If you're worried, put on your hat. Whoever looks at it will think he's a handsome boy."

When she was a teenager, Xiao Ai also had the same temperament.Winnet has always felt that Xiao Ai is very suitable for handsome and fashionable dresses. As for herself, she is completely different from those. Although she has had one or two experiences in the United States, she does not want to look like a magazine title page—— Looking at myself in the mirror feels exaggerated enough.

Following the smell of bread, Akane found the baking room, and also looked at Winnet who was sitting at the table with half-eaten bread.For a moment, she thought she was wrong. After all, the pastor seldom appeared in the church recently. It seemed that she had something very important. Her attitude was completely different from the usual lazy one, and she looked tense.And now, looking like he's radiant after a serious illness, and doing weird things like baking bread in church.

"I didn't expect you to be here." Fan Tianqian expressed her opinion.

"How are things going?" Winnet changed the topic, trying to shift the focus of the discussion to things in the church.

"It's going well," Fantian Qian naturally found the "little boy" who was staying in the corner quietly, but she didn't take the initiative to mention it, but answered Winnett's question, "We have visited three hospitals in total, and we have achieved a lot. It’s a pretty good publicity effect, but the fact that the pastor himself is not here makes the effect discounted. Fujita Satoshi and the newcomers here are quite distressed about raising children, and they have asked me about your arrangements more than once... About Mr. Clyde We didn't find the person we were looking for."

"I see." Winnet didn't know what excuse Clyde was making, so she simply said it.

She didn't have much hope for "locking Shuichi Akai from the hospital", but she confirmed at least one thing - the power of the FBI in Japan is not small, which is somewhat beyond her common sense judgment, after all, special police activities The scope of the FBI is generally the same as the country, but this world seems to be a little different. The FBI not only has its own people in the auto industry, but also in the medical industry.

Judging from the extent of Shuichi Akai's injuries, it is necessary to have the equipment of a large hospital for treatment. She has already placed manpower in qualified hospitals, and implemented "visiting patients" activities to reduce the scope, but there is still no news—— —This means that Shuichi Akai was hidden by the hospital. It is impossible for the FBI to communicate with the Japanese police. In this way, it can only be considered from the perspective of undercover and personal friendship.

"By the way, who is that little boy?" Fan Tianqian still raised her mouth.

Winnet smiled and explained to Fan Tianqian, "It's a child who lives in a neighborhood near my house. Because the guardian has something to travel, he entrusted me to take care of it."

Fan Tianqian's expression was still a little unnatural, "But why didn't you bring him home, but came to church?"

She also has the second half of the sentence: You should know that there are few people in the church now.

no one...

Fan Tianqian looked at Winnet strangely. After all, this lady pastor is not interested in men with the naked eye, and she is not a Catholic who needs to keep the doctrine. There is no need to deliberately avoid the relationship between men and women.

Shouldn't...

"Hello, sister."

Xiao Ai rushed out and took the initiative to say hello. Her hair was pressed out by the brim of her hat, and she had a sense of sight of a TV drama hero or a pop singer.

Although the appearance is very deceptive, Xiao Ai's voice is very recognizable, and Tian Qian can tell that it is actually a girl, and then deeply feels that the pastor's lady is unreliable - there is only bread and milk for lunch, at least It was time to get some vegetables and meat, but she quickly understood that Winnet was living alone (she hadn't seen Minmei).

Even Miss Pastor is not exempt from the weaknesses of single women!

248 Banquet Invitation

"Hello." Fantian Qian looked at Xiao Ai curiously.
