Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

Sing! ?

Conan thought, there is absolutely no mistake.After drinking, he was not afraid that he would not be able to sleep, but that he was worried that it would damage his throat, so the medicine bottle was originally filled with throat-moisturizing tablets, but it was replaced with sleeping pills by the secretary, Ms. Ting Tian. He hadn't noticed it because he was so drunk.

However, based on this alone, it is still too early to assume that Haruna Niwata is the prisoner.

He didn't think that Ting Tian, ​​who was the victim's secretary, would take such a blatant murderous action. For her who was beside the victim, she obviously had more opportunities to make sophisticated plans, so it was too stupid to use a knife directly.

"That's right, it's throat lozenges!" Mori Kogoro also realized, "She must have replaced the lozenges with sleeping pills!"

"But won't the victim be unable to eat it?"

"There are also tablets that have similar functions to throat lozenges. According to personal habits, they may not necessarily be used as lozenges."

Chiba suddenly realized, but he had the same question as Conan. "If Ms. Tingtian did it, wouldn't it be superfluous to use a knife?" He recalled the situation at the scene. It is impossible to be the first discoverer..."

Conan glasses reflect light.

He was right. Fear followed after venting anger. It would have been impossible for ordinary people to remain calm in such a situation, unless the person who attacked was a perverted murderer. However, the scene was messy and the perpetrator was not like What kind of "elegant spirit" does it look like?

"Maybe it's pure psychological quality? Therefore, it is also possible to make a maze, right?"

Kogoro, who said so, felt a little guilty himself.

Conan also stopped talking.He already had a lot of guesses, and he had to wait for all the suspects to arrive before he could confirm them. It would be much easier to solve the murder by then.

"Sister Xiaolan, I want to go to the bathroom!" Conan made a request.

Before Xiaolan could reply, he rushed out.

Obviously there is a toilet in this room.

Maybe it's because she doesn't want to go to the toilet near the murder scene... Xiaolan convinced herself.

And Conan who rushed out, of course, couldn't really go to the toilet.He trotted all the way to the captain's cabin and looked around. He pulled out the drawer under the audio board, rummaged through it, and saw an old photo of a middle-aged man and a girl smiling together.Then, he looked at the standing drawing board again, and drew a line with a red pen on the map fixed with a magnet.

really!

According to the scheduled project, it is impossible to have too many turns.

In this way, the captain is also suspected of committing the crime.

After collecting the information, Conan returned to the room where the three were.At this time, Mouri Kogoro, who couldn't reach a conclusion for a while, promised Chiba that after Police Officer Megure called all the parties involved, he would have a face-to-face confrontation, and the truth of the whole case would definitely be revealed.Chiba, who often heard about the "Glorious Deeds of Mori" from Police Officer Megure, was naturally overjoyed and coaxed Kogoro Mori out of the boat.Kogoro got into the rented car and bid farewell to Chiba while starting the car.After the car drove a certain distance, Xiaolan asked, "Dad, do you already know who the murderer is?"

Because Winnet and Sophia were also on board at the time, Xiaolan was a little concerned.

"How can it be so simple to be sure? I have to look at the expressions of those suspects and ask them some questions in person. However, that Haruna Niwata is the most suspicious."

Two hours later, he drove to the villa built by Sijing Group in the mountains.The huge courtyard is full of all kinds of luxury cars. The Toyota rented by Kogoro seems a bit out of place, but he is not the one who cares about these.After getting out of the car, he handed over the invitation letter to the secretary of the chairman of Sijing Group who was waiting in front of the door. It clearly stated that he could bring relatives and friends, and he had just helped the daughter of Sijing Group find the lost dog not long ago. Very enthusiastic.

However, one of the reasons he brought Xiaolan and Conan here was to save money for a dinner and buy wine.

It can not only save money, but also taste luxurious meals, it is simply perfect!

After all, this kind of rich people's banquet cannot be met anytime and anywhere.

Conan looked at Mori Kogoro, who had begun to get carried away, and began to have a bad feeling.

Hehe, this uncle is always making all sorts of embarrassments, I hope there will be no trouble... Conan smiled dryly.

"Student Edogawa?"

Suddenly, Conan heard a very recognizable indifferent voice.

He turned his head quickly, terrified.

"Huihara, why are you here?"

……

251 She Likes Women

Seeing Conan, Hui Yuanai had two thoughts in his mind.

He is literally everywhere.

Because you are a detective, did you smell the murder in advance?

During the communication with Winnet, she knew that there was a high possibility of homicide here.Staring at Conan, she felt that she shouldn't speak out, because such behavior was suspected of betraying Winnet's trust. "That's what I want to ask too." She buttoned her hat and said.

Conan put his hands behind his neck: "You can tell by looking at it. I came here with Uncle Kogoro and Lan, and I was invited by the organizer here."

"Ah, you two are really two plague gods, one big and one small."

"what do you mean?"

Conan felt that Haibara Ai's tone was not very friendly, but he quickly understood the meaning behind it: "I don't want to either, maybe just like detectives chasing cases, cases are also attracting detectives."

During the speech, Xiao Ai closed her eyes and smiled lightly.Conan waited for her reply, but instead of waiting for a reasonable explanation, he figured it out right away when he saw the new Winnet, who leaned over to greet him.It seemed that Winette Moriarty was invited, and Hui Yuan, who was staying with her, followed.However, according to his understanding of Hui Yuan, it is natural to not participate in an event like this, at least the attitude will not be so natural. What reason did the pastor use to persuade her?He was puzzled, glanced at Xiao Ai's back from the corner of his eye, and found that the other party was also looking back here, with the same sneaky look.

He was a little afraid of the perceptive woman in front of him.

Conan inevitably substitutes Winnet into characters in some novels. What they have in common is that they lack a door. In the state of lack of vision, the "window to the soul", they often have other judgments beyond ordinary people. ability.This is not something he imagined. Before this, he also came into contact with similar people, and they were often more careful and sensitive.

"Miss Winnet, are you coming to Miss Sijing's banquet too?" Mao Lilan found Winnet and rescued Conan.

"Yeah, Sophia wants me to come."

"That……"

Xiao Lan's eyes wandered around, and soon found Xiao Ai wearing a hat.Because the weather has been relatively cold recently, she didn't think there was anything strange about it, but said happily: "Xiao Ai is here too, you two get along really well!"

"Actually, she was very unwilling to participate in such an activity. It took me a long time to convince her. Maybe children of this age have a kind of shyness that we don't know?"

"Yeah." When Mao Lilan answered, she looked at Conan, "Are you right, Conan?"

Conan, who was thrown out of the topic, responded stammeringly, saying, "Maybe it's like this..."

He didn't think so at all.

Since Xiao Ai didn't tell him her real age, Conan has been guessing her maliciously.

With such an unlovable personality, she might actually be a 60-year-old old woman!He glanced at Huiyuan and thought to himself.However, what Winnet said dispelled his doubts: Huiyuan had rejected her invitation.He felt that he was getting to know the other person gradually, and found that she was quite indifferent to children, small animals, and sincere adults.

Maybe, this guy is actually quite cute?He met Shang Huiyuan's disdainful gaze, and immediately thought in his heart: Forget it!

Kogoro, who ended the conversation, urged Ran and Conan to come in quickly.Mao Lilan showed a somewhat apologetic expression, and said to Winnet that they would meet again inside.

At this time, Sophia, who was talking with business celebrities in the back, also stepped forward and handed over the invitation card of Sijing Group.Seeing Kogoro Mori, Sofia said to Winnett, "It seems that today's mystery guest is him."

"secret guest?"

"Well, the chairman of the Four Wells Group invited a mysterious guest. Presumably, the guys in the upper class are very interested in detective stories... He is a famous Japanese detective, right?"

Winnet had a look of approval, maybe, she said with a smile, then walked to Xiao Ai's side, grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Hold my hand, don't get lost!"

Hui Yuan Ai can hear this kind of talk every day in the parks around the school, the kind used to deal with restless little devils, it's rare that Winnet has such an interest!She didn't feel the feeling of falling into trouble, but a feeling of helplessness towards Winnet's childishness.

After Sophia handed in the invitation, they followed into the villa.The sky has not yet completely darkened, but the corridor already looks quite gloomy. The lights installed in the corridor are not all turned on, but form a sense of dislocation.They walked up to the second floor, and under the guidance of the waiter, they walked into the hall where the banquet was held.Inside is a completely different scene, with huge chandeliers hanging from the roof and lamp holders adorning the walls.

It can be seen that preparations are still underway. There are huge white cakes on the center table, and the rest of the tables are arranged around like stars around the moon. Some dishes have been placed on them for the guests to taste.

This is also a link that Winnet is familiar with.

Because basically, those foods can only be seen but not eaten, which will give a bad impression to the surrounding people. The Japanese pay some morbid attention to etiquette. Although they will not condemn those who do this, I think no one will Try it yourself-

Seeing Kogoro Mori eating happily, Winnet couldn't help questioning her own thoughts.

"It's so embarrassing!" Mao Lilan whispered, "As soon as I came in, I went straight to the dining table, picked up the food and devoured it! Don't pay attention to the image at all—"

Seeing that Winnet seemed to have found someone with the same position, she couldn't help complaining.

Conan, who was following her, also stayed away from the table because he didn't want to be seen as being with Mori Kogoro.

The area of ​​the entire banquet hall is not very large. After all, it is just a room in the entire villa. The place where they settle is a bit crowded, like a traditional banquet where they hold a glass of red wine and talk to each other.Although the people around did not raise any opinions, they still felt alienated from Kogoro's actions, and no one came forward to talk to the famous detective.

Winnet looked calm. In her eyes, Kogoro Mori did not fall into the cliché. "Okay, isn't this also a rare opportunity, usually you can't eat such a high-end cuisine?" She turned to Xiao Ai and Conan with a smile, "You two should taste it too, it seems that there are only two of you in the venue Oh kid."

"Edogawa..."

Haibara glanced at Conan, who quickly understood her intentions and followed her.

"Is there something wrong, Haibara?"

"I have a question to ask you, what do you think of Winette Moriarty?"

"What do you think... a priest who feels a bit strange. What's the matter, is there something wrong with her?"

"You must feel strange?" Xiao Ai said, "Why, in a short period of time, I have become so familiar with her."

"It's true, according to your personality, even if Xiaolan wants to get close to you, it's extremely difficult. How about opening up a little? That way, maybe you're more like a child at ordinary times, rather than relying entirely on acting—"

"I think my acting skills are not bad," Xiao Ai smiled. "Isn't this the key trick we rely on for survival?" She glanced at Mao Lilan who was talking with Winnet, and lowered her voice, " In order to be by that girl's side, you don't hesitate to put on a child's mask, but you can't recognize each other when you're close, it's just a bitter drama on TV."

"The topic is off topic, Huiyuan. However, I really don't want to continue to be like this. I didn't get the disk last time. We didn't get any useful information at all, and we couldn't move forward... Just now I was still thinking about how to Find those people from the Black Organization. By the way, is there anything else you haven’t told me, and it will be good for you and me to find out the information about that drug earlier?”

"I'm going to say this," Hui Yuanai seemed a little impatient, "Oh, detective, haven't you figured out the reason why I approached that woman? You know, now I'm running away with my head in my arms, and I'm regarded as a thorn in my flesh by the organization." Why on earth would I meet with a priest who makes public appearances? Yes, you should have guessed—”

"You mean!?" Conan stared at Winnet with wide eyes, "She is related to that organization?"

"How is that possible?" Xiao Ai almost rolled her eyes, "If she really has contact with that organization, wouldn't it be a trap for me to find her? However, she has a good relationship with my sister, and the two of them met a lot before. .”

As soon as Conan heard about the black organization, he would become extremely excited.But he quickly calmed down, because it was related to the research progress of the drug that made them smaller, and he said: "Yes, yes, Haibara, I understand! Your sister was in front of that robbery. , I met Miss Winnet once, and it is likely that I left a key message with her... However, the people in the black organization must have thought of this..."

Hui Yuanai showed a slightly arrogant smile, and spoke like an arrogant adult, "They are just like me. They have been in a dominant position for a long time, and they have developed a lot of arrogance."

"Arrogance... Could it be? They haven't looked for it carefully, or haven't had time to deal with it?"

"No——" Hui Yuanai turned around and said without a word, "I specifically brought it up to the church and found that there were signs of intrusion there. As a pastor, she also noticed it, but it was just as a break-in and because she didn’t lose anything of value, she didn’t even mention it. I thought that people from the Black Organization should have installed bugs in the church, but after getting no good news, they Take the initiative to remove... After all, it is impossible for them to eliminate all the people and things connected with my sister in the world."

"In other words, may there be messages left in the church?"

"Oh, but it's not the Church, but in her head—you know, there are many ways for a person with poor eyesight to mistake one thing for another, such as in small parts. It is almost impossible for her to find out." She raised her wine glass, "I have already found it, the message left by my sister." Xiao Ai was compiling, she thought, once the great detective heard about the organization No matter how ridiculous the story is, you will believe it.

In the end, the effect seemed to be better than she had imagined. Conan, after a transition from shock to surprise, walked around in front of her, pressed her shoulders impatiently, and almost knocked the wine glass out of her hand. "What is the message?" He asked anxiously, but she hadn't compiled this part yet, so she showed a bad mood-someone is still chatting with high school girls; who is not interested in this at all, or Say no attention at all.

Haibara got angry and flicked off Conan's hand like flicking off dirty dust.

At this time, Xiaolan noticed the situation here and thought it was the two of them having a conflict.But Xiaolan still had a higher priority to deal with - she leaned over to take the wine glass from Xiaoai's hand. "This is not fruit juice!" She exhorted, and then handed a cup of orange drink to Xiao Ai, "Here!" The pleasant Xiaolan made a slightly fierce expression when she saw Conan: "Conan, no You can bully girls!"

Please, which eye of yours saw me bullying her?

"No la!"

He hastily denied it, after all, he put his hand on Hui Yuan's shoulder just now.

Really urgent!

Obviously, he had already got the news that he was related to that mysterious organization, but Hui Yuan Que refused to tell him.

Very impatient!

He doesn't want to remain like a kid for a second!

"We were just talking about the books we read in school! I'm very interested in the follow-up content, so I asked Haibara to tell me."

"Ah, it seems so." Xiao Ai shrugged and said, then took a sip of the juice in the glass.

Conan stared blankly.

What is "like this"?please!Can you cooperate a little in front of Xiaolan?He was very worried about being labeled as "disrespecting girls".

"Get along well!"

She had just finished speaking when all the lights in the banquet hall were suddenly extinguished.On the dining table in the center, the cake has been lit enough for 24 candles.Then, under the leadership of the chairman of the organizer, Sijing Group, everyone began to sing "Happy Birthday", and Xiaolan also sang along.During this gap, Haibara grabbed Conan's sleeve and said in a teasing tone, "You'd better be careful, that woman named Winnet."

"What's wrong, is there something wrong with her?"

"Don't you think she's getting a little closer to your girlfriend?"

Girlfriend... Conan blushed a lot when he was called this.While waving his palms, he argued: "She is not my girlfriend, we are just childhood sweethearts!"

"Oh, what a pity!"

Xiao Ai smiled arrogantly again: "Our great detective, who has not even tasted the green forbidden fruit, has become like this... If he can't change back like this, what will happen?"

……

252 Full of Jealousy

"what are you talking about?"
