Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 22 Acacia's "Protection" 3

"Acacia..." Akikawa Sarana looked at the invitation in front of her with a faint smile in her eyes, "Acacia, what a nice name, natural... beautiful... just like its previous owners."

"Host, are you really going to do this?"

After hearing what the system said, Akikawa Sarana's eyes moved from the invitation letter to the notice letter with Kid's head on it. "Well, this is the best solution I can think of, and the plan has been more than half successful, right?"

"But host, even if you are halfway successful, it is not the final moment yet. You can stop now. Otherwise, you will be the one facing danger." Sarina's planning system also helped a little. It was a little worried about its host who had poor physical fitness.

Without hearing the host's answer, the system knew that its host had not listened to it at all, so it said again: "Host, you have saved a lot of treasure chests, why don't you open the treasure chest to see if you can get some useful things?"

Hearing what the system said, Akikawa Sarana's eyes drifted for a moment. Thinking of the three treasure chests she had already opened, she said, "I don't think my luck is very good. Even in the most dangerous situation this time, I only suffered minor injuries. As for the treasure chest, let's forget about it for now."

Although she was short of money, it was a headache for her to open the treasure chest and get all the money, especially since the money she got was not much, which gave her a headache even more.

The system fell silent after hearing what the host said. It hesitated for a moment and said, "Host, how about you try to shake hands with Miss Mao Lilan next time, and then try to open the treasure chest?"

Akikawa Sarana thought of the girl she had met once before, "Are you talking about Maori Kogoro's daughter?"

"Well, that's her."

"She's lucky?"

“Excellent!”

"Then I..." Akikawa Sarina sat up straight in an instant, her eyes shining. She was about to say that she would find a chance to shake hands with that lady next time to try her luck, but then she thought of the person who gave her a headache.

Thinking of that person, Akikawa Sarana slumped back down, "Forget it. It's too easy to run into Amuro Toru if I run into Ms. Mori by chance."

The system has a different opinion on this. "But if the host can draw something good, it would be worth it even if he encounters Amuro Toru, right?"

"That being said, I really don't want to see him recently."

In the end, when Akikawa Sarana faced emotional problems, she was just like most people, saying nice things in her heart, but it was not so easy to control the human heart. Realizing her situation, she could only try not to think about him or see him, so that she could slowly cool down her heart and continue with her subsequent plans.

The system sensed the host's conflicted emotions and shut up obediently.

......

"I heard that the gemstone called 'Acacia' was named after the wife of its first owner. It is a story about life and miracles."

In the Mori Detective Agency, Toru Amuro tells the three people in front of him what he knows about gems.

That's right, there are three people. Mao Lilan, who was preparing food but had not yet started cooking, heard that Amuro Toru had sent a sandwich. She didn't have to continue cooking dinner. After thanking Amuro Toru, she heard about the client's request just now. She also became curious about the gem that Kidd had set his eyes on this time.

Maori Kogoro doesn't know about this, and doesn't want to know. Conan, who knows a little bit, doesn't want to show off his knowledge in front of Maori Ran, so the only one who can explain this is Amuro Toru.

"I heard that the first owner of the gem was a businessman. He and his wife loved each other very much. Unfortunately, his wife became seriously ill and the doctor said she only had three months left to live. Because his wife got sick suddenly, the trip they had planned could not go on.

One day, the businessman got an emerald. He thought the gem was very beautiful, transparent and green, full of vitality, so he polished it and gave it to his wife. He hoped that this emerald green gem full of vitality could bring luck and miracles to his wife, and also hoped that it could inspire his wife who was depressed due to a serious illness to cheer up.

Mao Lilan saw that Amuro Toru had stopped and subconsciously asked, "What happened next?"

"later?"

Amuro Toru shrugged. "There are two versions of the story. One is that the wife really cheered up, defeated the disease, and created a miracle. The other version is that the wife only lived for another six months, and the two went to the place they had planned to go together. Later, the owner of the gem named the gem 'Akassia' in memory of his beloved wife."

"Oh, so that's it..." There was a hint of regret on Mao Lilan's face. The endings of the two stories were completely different. She hoped in her heart that it would be the first ending.

Maori Kogoro naturally noticed his precious daughter's emotions. He said, "Didn't Amuro say that this gem is a story about life and miracles? Then the real story must be the first ending. Maybe the doctor misdiagnosed the lady's condition, and the gem was just a coincidence."

Hearing the teacher's words, Amuro Toru nodded, "Mr. Maori is right. After all, our modern science can basically prove that most of these gemstones are just beautiful decorations."

Stories are just stories, and they are stories from a long time ago, so naturally most people would hope for the ending to be what it is. Moreover, this story is just a legend, and there is not much actual evidence.

Edogawa Conan also changed the subject. He looked at Amuro Toru and asked what he already knew, "What happened next? Amuro brother, the gem has another owner, right?"

"The name 'Acacia' symbolizes nature and beauty. Whether it is the symbolism of the color of the gem itself or its name, its subsequent owners regard it as a symbol. This gem is worthy of its name, and its owners are also safe and stable. Unlike some other gems, there are all kinds of ups and downs in the story. In general, the symbolic meaning of this gem has always been very good."

Amuro Toru thought about what he had recently investigated, "The owner of this gem bought it at an auction a few days ago. I heard that the other party thought it had a good symbolic meaning and bought it to give to his elders at home, but he didn't expect Kidd to have spotted it first."

He could understand why Kidd had his eyes on this gem, but why did the organization do that?

Toru Amuro thought about the day when he "accidentally" heard the relevant news while having dinner with Vermouth, and the code name... Limu, which was a code name he had never heard of before.

Unfortunately, he could only discern that code name from Belmode's lip movements, nothing more. That day, in order not to arouse Belmode's vigilance, he did not deliberately test the other party as he usually did.

But there is one thing that Toru Amuro is sure of, this Limu is different from other members of the organization in Vermouth. Although he does not know how important this person is to Vermouth, the little detective and Miss Mori, this person is definitely one of Vermouth's breakthrough points.

Toru Amuro, who has already made up his mind to investigate this man's situation, believes that no matter how easy or difficult this Limu is to deal with, using this man is always better than using the little detective and Miss Mori. At least this man is a member of the organization, and he does not need to hold back.
