Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Coming out of the police station, Akikawa Sarina, wearing sunglasses, looked up at the sky. It was still early, but after chatting with the system yesterday, she no longer planned to continue her vacation trip to Kanagawa.

The recording process just now was just as Yokomizo Shigego said before, from the time she entered to the time she came out, it was finished in less than fifteen minutes, basically just a formality. But she still felt inexplicably tired, including but not limited to the case that happened yesterday, and the result of her communication with Gin after she finished chatting with the system yesterday.

After chatting with the system yesterday, she calculated that the time was about up, so she informed Vodka of the news of Kamiya Saki's death. She originally thought that it would be Vodka who contacted her, but she didn't expect that she would receive a call from Gin not long after sending the email.

Recalling the content of yesterday's phone call, Akikawa Sarana secretly congratulated herself on her good timing. She told Gin about Kamiya Saki a little later than someone else, and successfully got rid of the workaholic Gin. As for who Gin entrusted the aftermath to, she had guessed from his tone that he was about to vomit. It must have been to Bourbon, whom he hated very much but told him about it earlier than she did.

Passing the corner, looking at the figure not far away, I realized that Akikawa Sarina was standing still.

When the person came to her, Akikawa Sarana said, "Good morning, Mr. Amuro."

One look at his expression showed that it was not a coincidence that the two of them met.

Amuro Toru had his usual clear smile on his face, which made people feel better just by looking at it, "Good morning, Ms. Akikawa."

Even though they were the only two people in this corner, they tacitly agreed not to mention Amuro Toru's current identity. They just stood there looking at each other, and it seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact it was only a moment.

In the end, it was Toru Amuro who spoke first. His restrained gaze fell on Akikawa Sarina's arm that he had injured yesterday, "Is your arm okay?"

He actually didn't want to ask this. He wanted to ask why her health had deteriorated again, and how she had been doing these years. He wanted to ask her too many things, but in the end, he looked at her slightly distant eyes behind her glasses and only asked this one question. And even this one question was still a little too intimate for their current superficial relationship.

"Thanks to your ointment, I was fine after two days of applying it."

After all, the person in front of him was his former lover, and especially now there were only the two of them. After hearing his words, Akikawa Sarina's expression softened a lot, and even her tone became less distant.

Especially seeing the hidden worry in his eyes, she couldn't help but said again: "Don't worry, it's still the same old problems."

There was a hint of dryness in Amuro Toru's tone, "You wouldn't have been hurt by this kind of force before."

Her health had deteriorated again over the years.

Seeing him like this, Akikawa Sarana said in a nonchalant and joking tone, "I'm getting older, and I've been busy with work in recent years, so my health is a little worse than before. But I got a promotion recently, and I have more free time, so I'm preparing to start recuperating."

"you......"

Amuro Toru naturally heard the hidden meaning in her words, and he was a little suffocated. Before they broke up, he could still supervise her to take good care of her health, but after they broke up...

"Okay, let's not talk about this after not seeing each other for so long." Akikawa Sarana knew what he wanted to say by looking at his expression, so she quickly changed the subject, "Are you going to take a statement? I won't keep you any longer."

Unexpectedly, Toru Amuro shook his head and said, "I have already finished taking the statement."

He saw her when he was about to leave, and he was here just to wait for her. After all, there were not many occasions when they could meet alone like this, so this was a very rare opportunity.

Of course, he also saw what Sarina was thinking, swallowed what he was about to say, and changed the subject according to Sarina's thoughts, "I never had the chance. Hiro's matter back then was all thanks to you. Thank you for saving him, Sarina."

Given Hiro's injuries back then, if he hadn't met Sarina by chance, he probably wouldn't have survived until he found Hiro.

Akikawa Sarina wanted to say that it was because Morobushi Keimitsu was his childhood friend, but she couldn't, so she just shook her head gently, "Moruobushi is at least my friend, and I didn't do anything, I just gave him a ride."

She kept the incident a secret, and even the rescued Keimitsu Morobushi thought she was just passing by, not knowing she had been waiting there all along. Even the injuries on his body were caused by her, in order to prevent Keimitsu Morobushi from refusing her help when he was awake, so Sarina was very straightforward and directly injured Keimitsu Morobushi and made him unconscious, and then drove him away from the organization's pursuit.

In fact, if she had known that the one pursuing her most closely was the FBI, she would not have given Zhu Fu Jingguang such a strong drug.

Of course, she was mainly worried about her own money. Those fake identities, weapons, medicines, and finally the residence to accommodate Zhu Fu Jingguang were all prepared by her for herself!

For this, she almost sacrificed her insider in the organization's development. Fortunately, the girl was smart and pretended to be killed by the escaping Zhu Fu Jingguang. She took the opportunity to fake her death and left the organization. Now she lives happily in a corner of the earth with a new identity. Even she doesn't know where the girl is now, and only occasionally receives some mysterious emails from her.

After all, the road has an end. Although Sarina also wants to walk with Amuro Toru for a while longer, she knows that they can no longer walk together.

A breakup is a breakup. Maybe they could still be together back then, but from the day that Furuya Rei entered the police academy, they no longer had a future. Furuya Rei should not have anything to do with her anymore, even though they both knew that the other still cared about the other.

Even in her own heart, Akikawa Sarina couldn't say that she still loved Furuya Rei. Besides, people can live without love, and no one can live without anyone else.

Glancing at Toru Amuro who was walking outside her, Akikawa Sarana deliberately avoided his sight and said, "I have something else to do. Goodbye, Mr. Amuro."

Goodbye, Zero. Akikawa Sarina said goodbye to her former lover silently in her heart, and planned to avoid all occasions where he might appear as much as possible.

They had just walked to the side of the road where they could call a taxi. Without waiting for Amuro Toru to answer, Akikawa Sarana walked past him and raised her hand to hail a taxi and leave.

As Toru Amuro watched Akikawa Sarina's movements, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu. The last phone call between the two of them was when she broke up on the phone and disappeared. Thinking of what happened back then, he subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the person next to him. Of course, he was careful with his strength this time to avoid hurting her again.

Akikawa Sarina looked back in surprise. Although she didn't say anything, Amuro Toru could see what she meant through her eyes behind the glasses: Are you crazy?

Realizing what he had done, Amuro Toru pursed his lips, but still did not let go of her wrist. Anyway, he had already thought of what to do if something went wrong. He had a premonition in his heart that if he let her leave him this time, there would really be no future between them.

Akikawa Sarana lowered her voice, "Amuro Toru, let go..."

At this moment, a taxi stopped in front of the two of them, and Toru Amuro slowly let go of Akikawa Sarina's wrist.

Thinking that he had finally returned to normal, Sarana found that he was also pretending to want to get in with her after she got into the taxi. Seeing his matter-of-fact look and noticing that the driver was curiously looking at the two of them in the rearview mirror, Sarana Akikawa resisted the urge to scold him, and finally compromised and moved inside to make room for him, then she told the driver the address of her hotel.

Forget it, they know each other anyway, and they are staying in the same hotel, so there is no problem in going all the way back.

Although she comforted herself in her heart, Akikawa Sarina ignored Amuro Toru along the way. Even the softer expression on her face when facing him was gone, leaving only anger towards him.

When they arrived at the hotel, Akikawa Sarana did not pay the bill, nor did she pay attention to Amuro Toru. Without waiting for the driver to open the door from the front, she opened the door on her side and got out.

She only felt that her movements were swift, but she had no idea that to outsiders, she looked like she was having a quarrel with her boyfriend.

Toru Amuro looked at Akikawa Sarina leaving with a helpless smile on his face. He stayed behind and took out his wallet to pay the bill, then got out of the car under the silent and gossipy eyes of the driver.

After getting out of the car and walking a few steps forward, Akikawa Sarina slowed down. The hot summer had passed, and the sea breeze was a little cool. Blown by the wind, Akikawa Sarina's heart, which had been a little uneasy because of Amuro Toru's previous behavior, regained its composure. Realizing what she had just done, she stopped and waited for Amuro Toru to catch up.

"I'm planning on going back to Tokyo soon."

After regaining her composure, Akikawa Sarina made another decision and said to Amuro Toru who came up to her.

After pestering Sarina for a while, Toru Amuro thought of the task that Gin had given him. Moreover, he could not pester Sarina anymore rationally and said softly, "Be careful on the road, and remember to apply medicine on time."

After adjusting her mentality, Sarina deliberately used the most distant tone to Amuro Toru, "Thank you Mr. Amuro for your concern, I will leave first."

After saying this, she walked straight towards the hotel door, leaving Amuro Toru standing there alone, watching her back as she turned away seemingly without mercy, just as resolute as she had been when she proposed to break up.

But knowing Sarina's personality, Amuro Toru felt much more at ease. In his opinion, Sarina's current appearance was very similar to the time when she picked up the cat. Because she didn't have time to raise the kitten, she could only send the kitten that pestered her to the pet hospital with a cold face and an attitude of keeping cats away from her.

Although he still didn't know why she suddenly wanted to break up, as long as she didn't find an excuse to leave like she did near the police station just now, Amuro Toru was not that worried. His intuition told him that since they could meet again after many years, the relationship between him and Sarina would not be the same as before, and there would always be a chance to meet again.
