Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

The smile on Toru Amuro's lips suddenly became a little stiff and then slowly disappeared. He was careless. Because of Sarina's acting before, he almost forgot that this was Sarina's true character. His Sarina only looked calm and steady.

And with Sarina's personality, how could she choose to stand on his side when Hagiwara and Matsuda were still venting their anger on her?

Although he understood it in his heart, Toru Amuro made an expression that said "I'm hurt" and looked at Sarana Akikawa, "Sarina~"

He used these three simple words to express a variety of tones, including grievance, sadness, and expectation, which could be directly drawn into a fan-shaped diagram.

"Humph."

Akikawa Sarana hummed twice in a low voice. She looked at the movement in the room from her perspective and said, "Yesterday I only said that I didn't blame you, but I didn't say that I would calm down or forgive you."

Just when Toru Amuro was about to ask something else, the voice of Jinpei Matsuda came from the room, "Where is Mr. Amuro? As Mr. Mori's apprentice, he must have some ideas."

Because of his voice, everyone in the room looked at Toru Amuro who was standing outside, and Akikawa Sarina beside him.

Just now, when they were moving from the deck to Keisuke Hayakawa's room, they already knew that Mr. Amuro had successfully become Ms. Akikawa's boyfriend last night. So at this moment, the couple who just confirmed their relationship would definitely be together.

Look, that's it. Looking at the two people whispering, except for Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, everyone else showed a smile of understanding.

After hearing Jinpei Matsuda's voice, the two people being looked at also raised their eyes and looked at the other people in the room.

Amuro Toru regained his usual smile, not even showing the expression of having just been teased by his girlfriend. "I think Officer Matsuda's reasoning just now makes sense. I have almost the same opinion."

Although he had just come out, he was also distracted by listening to the conversations of other people in the room regarding the case.

"Oh?"

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Maori Kogoro spoke up, "Since everyone thinks what Officer Matsuda said makes sense, let's discuss it with Mr. Ishihara and have the cruise ship return."

Akikawa Sarana and Amuro Toru's first reaction after hearing what Kogoro Mori said was that his idea was impossible to achieve.

It is definitely impossible to return. The Ishihara family has paid too much, and the sunk cost has reached a point that the Ishihara family cannot accept. There is no way they can return.

Even if they want to return, the Ishihara family will only agree to do so after tonight's auction, but this choice will definitely create a conflict of interest with other people on the ship who are participating in the auction.

Why do those people choose to auction on a cruise ship? Isn't it because the items are not allowed to be seen in public? And this cruise ship is exempt from entry inspection, so they can take away the items they have auctioned without anyone noticing.

This is also why Amuro Toru chose to secretly investigate with the public security after he had some evidence in his hands, instead of directly calling for a return trip and arresting those people. There are too many interested parties involved, and it may even cause international conflicts.

And...Toru Amuro thought about the news coming from Kazami, that they were still discovering new explosives one after another. It was from these messages that he understood why Sarina asked Hiro to come for support.

If those explosives exploded on the ship, even if the more than 3000 people on board were able to take emergency shelter in advance, it would definitely cause considerable damage in a place like the high seas.

The only thing is that they really didn't expect that Takagi could actually lose sight of Keisuke Hayakawa.

There is another suspect. Who of the two of them has the detonator of the explosive? Or do they both have their own detonator?

Akikawa Sarana lowered her eyes at this time, seemingly paying, but actually communicating with the system.

[Tongzi, have you found Keisuke Hayakawa? ]

[I have found him. He is in Ishihara Aoi's room. ]

Akikawa Sarana paused, [Ishihara Aoi? He...wait, why is he there? Could it be that Ishihara Aoi is his accomplice?!]

It was obvious from her words that she directly ruled out the possibility that Keisuke Hayakawa kidnapped Aoi Ishihara.

Even though Akikawa Sarana had already obtained a lot of information through the system, she never expected that Ishihara Aoi would actually be Keisuke Hayakawa's accomplice.

[The two of them have no past experience...]

Akikawa Sarina's heartbeat paused, as if she had thought of something, [Aoi Kodaira suddenly married Ishihara Chaoyang, could it be that the other girl in the incident five years ago was her? ]

In the case where Ishihara Chaoyang and Kikuchi Shintaro jointly molested a girl five years ago, there were actually two victims, but they only succeeded in raping one, and that was Sumire Naganuma who committed suicide by jumping into the sea five years ago. Everyone's eyes were on Sumire Naganuma, and the figure of the other person disappeared from everyone's sight.

Because it happened five years ago, there was a limit to the content that Tomoko could find without violating any rules, so Akikawa Sarana really didn't expect that the other person was Aoi Kodaira, who was already married to Ishihara Asahi.

With Kodaira Aoi's intelligence and physical strength, it was not difficult for her to avoid the invasion of the two playboys, and judging from the results, she soon became the young lady of the Ishihara family.

No wonder, with the Ishihara couple's personalities, they could allow Aoi Kodaira, a girl from an ordinary family, to marry their only son. It must be that Aoi Kodaira had something on her, and they didn't want to fight to the death with Aoi Kodaira, so they accepted her as the wife of the next head of the Ishihara family.

Toru Amuro, who was originally waiting for Akikawa Sarina to complain about what he had just said, did not hear her movement. He turned his head to look at her and found that she was stuck on the payment interface, wondering what she was thinking.

Glancing at the people in the room, he saw that everyone except his friend had already checked Hayakawa Keisuke's room for the last time. He whispered, "You should know my card. The password is your birthday."

Hearing his whisper, Akikawa Sarana came back to her senses. She subconsciously pressed the last digit of the password that she had not yet entered. Looking at the payment success displayed on the mobile phone interface, both of them blinked.

After realizing what Amuro Toru had just said, Akikawa Sarana replied, "No, I was just thinking about something."

Of course Toru Amuro knew that Akikawa Sarana had money. After all, he could reimburse so many expenses in various ways, not to mention Sarana who was in charge of part of the organization's accounts.

He just remembered that he should hand in his wallet.

Noticing that everyone in the room had finished their work and were preparing to leave, Akikawa Sarana stopped what she was about to say and exchanged a look with Amuro Toru that indicated they had something important to discuss later.

......

Returning to the temporary meeting room, Officer Megure looked at his subordinates who had all returned, and exchanged information and opinions. He glanced at the time, it was already 10:30 in the morning, and it was almost time for the luncheon that the Ishihara family had invited them to.

"Then we will split up like this."

Inspector Megure had a gloomy face. Several murders had occurred on the ship in succession. After basically narrowing down the culprit, he could no longer watch more cases happen.

"Sato, Shiratori, you and brother Mori, stay close to protect the Ishihara couple and Mrs. Ishihara Aoi."

"Hai!"

"Takagi, Hagiwara, you are responsible for keeping an eye on and protecting Yuma Kiya and Toshiya Harada at the banquet."

"Hai!"

"Matsuda, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the other suspect we are currently targeting, Asakawa Rito."

"Hai."

"Qianye, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the entrance and exit of the banquet hall."

"Hai!"

Officer Megure pressed down his hat and told everyone his responsibility, "I will be responsible for keeping an eye on Captain Shimada Masaya at the banquet."

According to his assignment, no matter whether they are potential victims or suspects, they are all under one-on-one protection and surveillance, and there is also a capable fighter in each group, so there will be no mistakes this time.

As for the return flight, the Ishihara family was busy at the moment, so they could only discuss it with them after the banquet.

"Police department, where is Keisuke Hayakawa?"

Sato Miwako questioned, lowering her voice, "There are explosives on the ship. What if the missing Hayakawa Keisuke takes action? Or should we take two more people to continue the search on the ship."

Others had the same doubts, but it was just Sato Miwako who spoke up before them.

Hearing Sato Miwako's doubts, Inspector Megure said succinctly, "Someone will be responsible for continuing to search for Hayakawa Keisuke's whereabouts."

He didn't explain it very clearly, but several people had already been informed by him in advance and they all knew that there were police officers on the ship, so when they heard Officer Megure's words, they immediately understood what he meant.

Matsuda Jinpei casually glanced at Amuro Toru, who was not sitting at the front, and sneered, "Those arrogant people actually have a day to offer help."

Officer Megure looked helpless, "Matsuda, they are colleagues after all. And they didn't do anything this time. Instead, they helped us a lot. They even took the initiative to share some intelligence with us."

His subconscious intention was to ask Matsuda to be more restrained, even though they were the only ones here.

Hagiwara Kenji put his arm around Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder and said, "Ah, little Jinpei, at least there is someone helping you from behind."

He emphasized the word "someone" and took advantage of the fact that everyone was not on his side to look at Akikawa Sarana who was listening in the corner. After yesterday's communication with Jingguang, the two of them knew who gave the public security part of the information.

Those were all the information that Sarina had worked so hard to obtain. Giving them to the public security was Sarina's way of helping them investigate through the public security.

Of course, Jinpei Matsuda was just deliberately picking on the public security, so he followed the instructions of Inspector Megure and Kenji Hagiwara and did not say anything else.

After discussing the next steps, and after Inspector Megure confirmed that Kogoro Mori had no objection, everyone took action.

Well, it was mainly about going back to their rooms to change clothes and eat something to fill their stomachs. They wouldn't have much time to eat at the luncheon.

As for changing clothes, the group had been running around all morning, and their clothes were not really clean. There were all kinds of so-called "upper class" people at the banquet, and they were more or less representatives of the police, so even if they didn't have to wear formal clothes because they were going to work, they still had to dress neatly and elegantly.

Conan came out of the temporary meeting room and wanted to follow Akikawa Sarina and her group, but was taken away by Mouri Kogoro. He could only watch helplessly and pitifully as Akikawa Sarina and the other three left.

The four people returned to the floor where Akikawa Sarana and Amuro Toru lived. When they passed by Mouri Ran's room, they didn't hear any movement. Akikawa Sarana guessed that the girls should not have returned with their children yet, or they should have changed into dresses somewhere else and went directly to the party.

At this moment, the clothes that Akikawa Sarana had ordered on her mobile phone were just delivered to her door. Two store staff members, a man and a woman, were waiting for her at the door.

The two staff members with professional smiles on their faces saw the four people. They bowed slightly to them and said, "Good morning, everyone."

Then the female staff member looked at Akikawa Sarana politely, "Excuse me, is this Ms. Akikawa?"

Akikawa Sarana nodded, "It's me."

The female staff member's smile became much more enthusiastic when she heard this. After all, this was a customer who had chosen four sets of high-end dresses in one go, including jewelry accessories. "We have delivered the dresses you ordered. Do you need us to deliver them to your room?"

During this process, neither she nor the male staff member behind her even glanced at the three men around Akikawa Sarina. There was no emotion other than enthusiasm on their faces and in their eyes.

Anyone who works in a store that's even remotely related to luxury goods is the same. They've seen all kinds of weird things, let alone a luxury cruise ship like this.

So what if a beautiful and rich woman is surrounded by three handsome men? They have even seen more outrageous things.

Just when Akikawa Sarana took out her room card and was about to open the door to have the clothes sent back to her room, Amuro Toru spoke up, "Sarina, please send their clothes to my room. This way it will be more convenient for them to change clothes."

Akikawa Sarana glanced at Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, and seeing that they had no objection, "Then please send the men's suits to next door, and the women's to my room."

The two of them nodded at the same time after hearing what Akikawa Sarana said. The female staff member who had been in charge of the communication nodded and replied, "Okay, Ms. Akikawa."

After Akikawa Sarana and Amuro Toru opened the door, the two of them methodically pushed the semi-closed clothes hanger carts that were originally hung with men's and women's dresses separately into the two adjacent rooms.

Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, who had been silent, looked at Akikawa Sarina. Hagiwara Kenji winked at her and said, "See you later, Sarina."
