Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 12: Black Humor Under the Rippling Water 10

"what?"

Akikawa Sarina, who had just put her mind at ease, turned to look at Maori Kogoro in disbelief. What was going on? Why did everyone suddenly think she was the murderer after they had basically ruled her out as a suspect?

However, before Akikawa Sarina could ask Kogoro Mori in return, he appeared to be drunk in front of everyone. He spun around for a few steps and then fell on the sofa in the room at an incredible angle. Then there was the "sleeping Kogoro" that everyone often saw from various channels.

"Hahahaha, I was just joking with Miss Akikawa just now. I hope Miss Akikawa doesn't mind."

There was a hint of joking in Maori Kogoro's tone, but after he finished saying the previous sentence, which explained to everyone why he had just identified Akikawa Sarina as the murderer, his tone became serious again, "Now the joking time is over, and now I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will solve this so-called swimming pool murder case."

No, she actually still cared a little. The tone of the famous detective when he identified her as the murderer just now did not sound like a joke. He really believed that she was the murderer. How come he suddenly seemed like a different person?

Akikawa Sarina looked at Maori Kogoro who was sleeping with his head down. She only heard him talking but didn't see his mouth moving at all. It didn't look like ventriloquism. She remembered something she had overlooked for some reason. The system said that the protagonist of their world was Conan. Akikawa Sarina had some guesses in her mind, but like some of her previous doubts, she put them aside.

After searching around for a long time without leaving any trace, Akikawa Sarana finally saw the very distinctive little tuft of hair on the child's head in the corner behind the sofa. It was just like the unruly little tuft of hair on her head that usually liked to stick up.

Akikawa Sarana moved a few steps and changed to a different angle where she could see the child's movements. She could even clearly see the reflection of little Conan's lenses. At this moment, he was holding a bow tie in his hand and talking to the bow tie. It seemed that it was a voice changer that he carried with him.

Sarina tried hard to recall the few memories she had about the anime "Detective Conan". She only remembered that it was a story about a high school student who encountered a criminal organization and then fought a battle of wits and courage with that organization. If the system had not told her that the protagonist was the little boy with glasses, she would have forgotten that there was such a supernatural event as a high school student becoming smaller.

It turns out that the truth behind the famous detective "Sleeping Kogoro" is this... Akikawa Sarina is worried that her gaze will be noticed by Conan, so she plans to change her position quietly.

But she had only taken two steps when she realized that her ex-boyfriend, who had deliberately reduced his presence, was approaching her.

Sarina turned her head to look at him, and when she saw the smile that was about to burst in his purple-gray eyes, she knew that he had seen everything she had just done.

Feeling that he was laughing at her own childishness, Akikawa Sarina turned her head away angrily to listen to Conan's reasoning, no longer looking at him, leaving only the back of Amuro Toru's head.

Conan was already talking about the murderer's modus operandi, and she wanted to listen carefully to the detective's reasoning, mainly because she was really curious about how the murderer killed Saki Kamiya, a member of the organization, and why the other party wanted to kill Saki Kamiya. Was it because he discovered something or was there a problem in their relationship that led to Kosuke Morita killing Saki Kamiya?

Wait... Come to think of it, that criminal organization that Conan was outwitting... couldn't it be the organization?

Akikawa Sarana suddenly thought of the research in the organization's drug laboratory and the drugs that had been used on her. Thinking of those crazy scientists in the organization, Akikawa Sarana lowered her eyes slightly to hide the disgust in her eyes towards those people.

The detective's reasoning continued, "The reason why no one found Miss Shangyao drowning in the swimming pool is because Miss Shangyao did not drown in the swimming pool on the top floor, but was drowned in the bathroom of the room where she lived."

When "Mouri Kogoro" said this, most people in the room gasped.

Yokomizo Shigego couldn't help but interrupt, "Mr. Maori, why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?"

After adjusting her emotions, Akikawa Sarina looked at the police officer who acted as if he was owed millions from the moment they met. It turned out that the other party's emotions could be so exposed. She thought that he was a person with performance-oriented expression paralysis like her.

Of course, her sullen face was to avoid the crowd. She had previously thought that the criminal police officer had a sullen face to establish his authority or to scare the criminals.

It turned out that she guessed wrong.

"Of course there is evidence."

"Mouri Kogoro" was very confident, "I don't know if the murderer was too panicked. He didn't seem to check that there was something wrong with the clothes belonging to Miss Haruka Saki that he left in the women's locker room at the swimming pool."

Akikawa Sarina looked a little strange. The women's locker room...did he sneak into the women's locker room when the little detective was not there? Wasn't this behavior a bit too reckless? Even if he looked like a child now and the swimming pool was temporarily closed because of a case, he would still be seen as a pervert, right?

Just as Sarina's thoughts were flying, Amuro Toru guessed what she was thinking from the look in her eyes when she looked in Conan's direction, and pulled her clothes imperceptibly. When she looked at him, he gestured for her to look at Mouri Ran, the daughter of Mouri Kogoro, who had just disappeared and walked into the house.

Oh, it seems I have to ask this little girl for help.
