Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 189: Falsehood Disappears with the “True Form” 20

After talking to Akikawa Sarana, Hagiwara Kenji looked at Amuro Toru standing at the door again, and the smile on his face became warmer, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Amuro."

Matsuda Jinpei also said with a fake smile: "Excuse me."

At this time, Amuro Toru also had a smile on his face that was somewhat similar to Hagiwara Kenji's, "You two are so polite."

After he said this, he looked in the direction of Akikawa Sarana and found that she had already entered the room without any reluctance. He felt amused and at the same time, he also brought Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei into his room.

The male staff member who had delivered the clothes had already pushed the hangers to the appropriate location in the room. He was now standing in the room with a booklet in his hand, quietly waiting for Toru Amuro and the others.

Seeing the three people enter the room, he handed the booklet in his hand to Amuro Toru, who was obviously the owner of the room, and said, "Gentlemen, this is a list of men's formal wear. Would you like to try it on first to see if it needs to be modified?"

Amuro Toru glanced at the data of the clothes on the list and shook his head at him, "No need."

He took out an envelope from the side, which obviously contained a tip prepared in advance, and handed it to the man.

The man took the envelope, bowed slightly to Amuro Toru, and said warmly but politely: "Thank you, sir. I won't bother you three anymore. I wish you a pleasant journey."

After saying this, he politely left Amuro Toru's room.

After the man left, Toru Amuro first carefully checked the room, then checked the clothes the other party had sent him, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he breathe a sigh of relief.

During this process, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara were very cooperative and chatted about topics such as the cruise ship scenery. They only stopped chatting after Toru Amuro finished his inspection.

Akikawa Sarina next door did almost the same thing, but she was much more relaxed than Furuya Rei. After entering the room, the system scanned her entire room as usual to confirm that there was nothing abnormal.

[Host, there is nothing abnormal. The dress and jewelry sent have also been checked. ]

[Okay, thank you for your hard work~]

"Ms. Akikawa."

The female staff member pushed the hanger cart to the appropriate location and looked at Akikawa Sarina, "Do you want to try on your dress?"

She has been working in this industry for many years and can tell the customer's measurements with just one look. Just now, she only took a look at the four customers outside and understood why Ms. Akikawa chose to pay for the dress online instead of trying it on in the store downstairs.

You know, even if it is not a custom-made dress, but a ready-made dress, if you want it to be slim-fitting and good-looking, you need to try it on, and the people in their store will make slight modifications based on the customer's actual body shape.

So earlier in the store, they were a little surprised to see someone placing an order on a webpage that they thought they would never use. It was only after the store manager contacted the customer to confirm that he let them prepare according to the order.

Seeing that the four customers all had the perfect body shapes for the four dresses, she completely understood why Ms. Qiuchuan was so sure that she didn't need to go to the store downstairs. It seemed that even if this lady was not a member of their brand's club, she should have some knowledge of their brand, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen the clothes they needed so accurately.

At the same time, she felt happy in her heart that she could reduce a lot of trouble and make money at the same time.

The reason they think so is that their store's service target on the "Tlaloc" is mainly the guests of their brand's club, and the ready-made dresses in the store are just the new styles of the season just in case, and they don't expect to sell them. After all, customers who can afford their brand's ready-made dresses can directly choose private customization.

So now she was just following the routine professional code of conduct and asking the customer about his needs.

Akikawa Sarana naturally did not disappoint her. She simply shook her head and said, "No need."

She has worn this store's custom-made dresses many times, and she knows the details of the dresses, so she doesn't need to try them on.

As per custom, Akikawa Sarana handed the tip in the envelope to the staff member. Another meaning of tipping is to see guests off, so the staff member who saved a lot of trouble naturally left happily.

After everyone left, Akikawa Sarina put down the list in her hand and walked to the clothes hanger. The dress she chose for herself was a dark purple-gray color, without any fancy decorations. It was a very ordinary dress that would not be eye-catching, but the material of the dress was very exquisite and it was relatively comfortable to wear.

She chose this color because Zero had already announced their relationship to everyone, and she had to give a corresponding response. Although she was still cooperating with Kenji and Jinpei to settle accounts with Zero, it did not prevent her from announcing their relationship.

And this is not actually a conflict, right? She, Sarina, is a first-class balance master! Akikawa Sarina gave herself a thumbs up in her heart!

It was not too early, so Akikawa Sarina did not delay any further and quickly changed her clothes.

Akikawa Sarina even quickly put on a proper makeup during this time, and asked while putting on her earrings in front of the mirror: [Tongzi, is Hayakawa Keisuke still with Ishihara Aoi? ]

[Still there.]

【Where is Asakawa Rito? 】

[Looking at the coordinates, they should be on the way to the banquet hall. Host, the three of them are outside the door, ready to knock.]

[So fast, I thought the three of them had a lot to say. 】

[Host, did you mean "friendly communication"? ] The system was still worried that its host would misunderstand its meaning, so it put the word "friendly communication" in quotation marks on the system panel.

Akikawa Sarina looked at the mirror, and after confirming that everything was correct, she walked out of the bedroom. [Yes, with all the hateful words and deeds that Zero had done before, I thought Jinpei and Hagi would do something to him.]

Amuro Toru knocked twice before the door opened. Akikawa Sarina, wearing a dark purple-gray dress, stood in front of the group. Her light blue hair looked casual but was actually tied up in a beautiful bud hairstyle. The remaining loose hair just embellished the dark color on her body.

Toru Amuro had never seen the style of Akikawa Sarina's dress before, so after being surprised by the sight of opening the door, a completely unconcealed smile appeared on his face.

The arrogance in his smile was so strong that even Hagiwara Kenji felt like doing something to himself, not to mention Matsuda Jinpei, who had an even more straightforward temper.

So when the two of them saw the smile on his face, they put their hands on Toru Amuro's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, and the duo, who had a tacit understanding of childhood, exerted force on their hands at the same time.

"Hiss, it hurts!" Amuro Toru, who was suddenly attacked, instantly made an exaggerated grimace. As for how much pain he was in, how could he hide it from the other three people.

Akikawa Sarina looked at the three people at her door. She asked with her half-moon eyes, "Jinpei, Hagi, are you two venting your anger on me, or are you assisting Toru?"

Fortunately, Sarina is a "wise and brave" person, and she will not feel sorry for someone because of his self-torture! Otherwise, if she felt sorry for him because of someone's exaggerated expression, Jinpei and Hagi would be stabbed in the back by her!

······

The three people outside the door stopped what they were doing because of what Akikawa Sarina said. Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei looked at each other, withdrew their hands, and planned to wait until Sarina was not around before taking action again.

Toru Amuro stopped his performance and smiled bitterly, "Sarina..."

Akikawa Sarana suppressed her laughter and stepped aside to let the three people enter the house.

After closing the door, her eyes fell on the three people standing in the living room. Looking at them wearing the clothes she had picked out, Akikawa Sarina nodded with great satisfaction.

Vermouth always said that her taste in choosing men's clothing was very average, but when she looked at the three men in front of her, she felt that her taste was pretty good.

Also considering their mission, when she picked clothes for the three people, she chose the same simplest and most mobile styles as herself.

Jinpei Matsuda wore a dark blue suit with a warm grey pocket square and bow tie, and the cufflinks were warm grey gemstone cufflinks specially selected by Akikawa Sarina. He was also very considerate and did not wear his sunglasses which were almost becoming his true self, but placed them in Toru Amuro's room together with his clothes.

Kenji Hagiwara wore a beige suit with a simple and elegant brooch. The color of the gem in the middle of the brooch was exactly the same as the color of his eyes, and the cuffs chosen for him were made of warm pearl cufflinks.

As for Toru Amuro, Akikawa Sarina originally wanted to choose another suit, but then she thought of his current identity as a private detective and the need to match his suit with her dress.

So she followed the idea she had when choosing a dress for herself and very unoriginally chose a tuxedo suit for him that matched her dress but was not in the same color scheme as hers. She also chose a light blue pocket square and tie that was similar to her hair color, and the gemstones for the cufflinks were naturally the same sapphire.

Akikawa Sarana never thought that her aesthetic taste was indeed very ordinary as Vermouth said. The only reason she could still think it was pretty good at this moment was because the looks and figures of these three people supported her car accident-level outfit.

She was still feeling smug at this moment.

Among the three people in the room, two of them have completely straight male aesthetics. One usually wears work clothes as casual clothes, or has sportswear in his wardrobe that is easy to move around in.

One is that he is so busy that he has no time to buy clothes for himself, and relies entirely on Yuya Kazami to buy clothes. He wears whatever Yuya Kazami buys.

Kenji Hagiwara, who has a good aesthetic sense, has known Akikawa Sarina's weaknesses since childhood, and he also thinks that what she is wearing looks pretty good.

So none of the three people expressed any dissatisfaction with their clothes. Instead, they all noticed Akikawa Sarina's expression that wanted to be praised, and the three of them started praising Akikawa Sarina one after another.

Akikawa Sarana, who was a little embarrassed by the exaggerated way of the three of them, looked at the time and saw that there was still time left. She blushed slightly, cleared her throat, and started to talk about business, "By the way, I have something to tell you."

Although she only exchanged glances with Zero, she believed that Zero had already told them.

As expected, none of the three looked surprised.

She told the three people what she had thought of before: "I suspect Hayakawa Keisuke was hidden by Ishihara Aoi."

"Ishihara Aoi?"

The three of them were all startled, and then Amuro Toru, who had contact with both of them at the same time, seemed to have thought of something, "No wonder, when Officer Megure came to question them last time, I always felt that the relationship between the two of them seemed a little abnormal, and seemed a little too unfamiliar..."

Matsuda Jinpei looked at Akikawa Sarana, "Did you find any evidence?"

"We have found the victims, perpetrators and the victims' families in the incident five years ago, but there is one person who has completely disappeared in the case."

The three of them had thought about this before. They were the same as Sumire Naganuma, but they were luckier than Sumire Naganuma. The girl who escaped the clutches of two demons.

Akikawa Sarana took her cell phone from the coffee table and pulled out the information she had just asked Tomoko to investigate. "Five years ago, Aoi Kodaira was also here."

The system searched through everything it could find related to five years ago and found it in a commemorative photo taken by a passenger at that time.

That passenger recently uploaded the photos he took that year to his blog because of the "Tlaloc"'s re-setting sail. After the system restored the blurred background of the photo, it is clear to see Aoi Kodaira and Sumire Naganuma. Also in the distance are the deceased Shintaro Kikuchi and Asahi Ishihara.

After knowing the result, it is much easier to work backwards than to infer out of thin air. The system directly locked onto this photo. At the very least, this photo can be used as evidence to put Ishihara Aoi into the new suspect selection.

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who had already reviewed the testimonies of the three days during the meeting, also reacted.

Hagiwara Kenji held his chin and said, "I remember that in the testimony against Ms. Ishihara Aoi, Officer Megure showed her a photo of Naganuma Sumire, and she said she didn't know her, right?"

Toru Amuro, who was at the scene at the time, nodded and said, "Yes, she did say she didn't know him at the time."

Ishihara Aoi even concealed the truth from him, and he didn't even realize that she was lying.

"Great, there's a lot we can do with just this one photo."

There was a dazzling light in Matsuda Jinpei's eyes, "Sarina."

Akikawa Sarana nodded at him and gave three copies of the photo in her hand to the three of them.

Amuro Toru looked at Akikawa Sarina, "Sarina, did your friend find out about this as well?"

Akikawa Sarana nodded, "I asked her to check it."

Toru Amuro keenly noticed that Akikawa Sarina's way of addressing her friend had changed to "she", which clearly indicated her female identity.
