Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 252: The Bride of Halloween - Who is the Mantis and Who is the Cicada

Hair of this color... Akikawa Sarana glanced at the back of Pramia's head again and began to think about the information Zero had given her.

It was obvious that Pramya's goal was to take revenge on Zero and the others, and there hadn't been many things that might bring them together recently.

No, even if all the things are taken into account, it seems that they can't be gathered together...

So they kidnapped her. Akikawa Sarana looked down at the collar on her neck that had a strong presence. She suddenly had some divergent thoughts. Judging from Tomoko's performance before she went offline, this incident must have happened in the world line that she was originally familiar with.

In that world line, this dangerous bomb was put on Zero's neck. She was a little curious about how Pramiya put this bomb on Zero. She relied on the protective gear produced by the system and Tongzi's back-up plan, so she delivered it to Zero automatically. What about Zero?

The image of her boyfriend wearing this bomb suddenly popped up in Akikawa Sarana's mind, and she rubbed her knuckles lightly.

Noticing the silence of the woman behind her, Pramiya felt a little uneasy. She always felt that things seemed to be out of her control.

"What are you thinking?"

??? Akikawa Sarana, who was quietly looking at the blue dot positions representing teammates on the map through the system panel, had several question marks popping up in her head when she heard Pramia's question.

Was she familiar enough with her to speak to her in such a casual, homely tone?

But she thought about how she was now a prisoner after all, and based on her guess, this person was probably a big sister who could fight Zero back and forth, so she answered cooperatively, "Of course I'm thinking about your true identity."

She knew what was happening, she wasn't afraid that Pramya would hit her.

Pramiya thought that Miss Akikawa would be more sensible, but she didn't expect her to be so sensible. She was accidentally choked by her answer.

But she was speechless for only a moment. She did not stop and looked back at the calm Miss Qiuchuan. "From the look of you, have you guessed who I am?"

"After confirming that you are a woman, I eliminated a lot of people, and now there are only two targets left."

"Oh?" Pramiya admitted that she was a little curious. "You were able to narrow down the target to only two people in such a short time. Ms. Akikawa must be very confident in her reasoning."

Akikawa Sarana nodded. "To be honest, this is the first time I'm so confident in my reasoning."

Combining Conan's protagonist skills and the God's perspective that Tongzi tried his best to give her before he went offline, she felt that the scope she had narrowed was really reliable.

"I guess I'll have to wait until next time to hear Ms. Akikawa's brilliant reasoning."

Pramiya stopped and pushed open a secret door on the wall on the left side of her body. Then she looked at Akikawa Sarana behind her and said, "Please, Ms. Akikawa."

Akikawa Sarana deliberately pretended to stick her head out to take a look at the space at the door. Although she still had no expression on her face, any intelligent creature could probably read from her sluggish face that she didn't like this place.

She looked at Pramya again, her eyes casually sweeping over her right arm, and after a long sigh, she stepped into the door reluctantly.

Pramiya also followed him in and then locked the secret door.

This time it was Akikawa Sarina who walked in front. As she walked forward, she said, "From what you said, it seems that you know a lot about our organization?"

Pramiya was silent. She didn't know much about this organization. She had only heard some rumors.

Akikawa Sarana guessed something from her silence. She was a little surprised. "Eh, you don't know much about it?"

"Shut up." Pramiya didn't have much patience. The only reason she could have a good chat with these Miss Akikawa was because they were all from the same gang.

Silence was restored. Akikawa Sarina, who was walking in front with her back to Pramya, raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

Finally reaching the end, Pramya opened a door again, and this time the environment was better.

There was only a bed in the room and a small room next to it, which looked like a bathroom.

"I thought you wanted me to cooperate with you so that you could ask them out." Akikawa Sarina walked into the room and looked at Pramya.

"That was the original plan."

Pramiya looked at Akikawa Sarana through the mask, but her intuition told her that this woman was indeed a little weird. "But I can't afford the price Miss Akikawa wants, so I'd better not trouble Miss Akikawa for some things. You just need to stay here for a few days."

According to her original plan, she could still catch those people in one fell swoop.

"That's it."

Akikawa Sarina turned around and sat on the only bed in the room, "What about my food and water?"

Pramya pointed under her bed, "There's food down there."

Akikawa Sarana bent down and looked under the bed which was blocked by the sheets, and pulled out a not-so-big box which contained several boxes of instant noodles and bread, as well as two bottles of water.

"I'll trouble you to stay here for the next few days, Miss Qiuchuan. I hope you will cooperate like you did today. After that, I will remove the thing on your neck and let you go. As for your relationship with those people."

Pramiya paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something wonderful. She said with a malicious smile in her mechanical voice, "When they are all dead, Ms. Akikawa's secret will no longer be a secret that can be blackmailed, right?"

Akikawa Sarana retracted her disgusted gaze towards the food in the box and said, "Are you sure you don't need my help? Using me as bait won't necessarily make them fall into your trap."

"Miss Qiuchuan, please don't worry about this." Pramiya was still confident in her investigation.

After she finished speaking, she walked out, saying, "Ms. Akikawa, don't even think about running away. The thing on your neck has a sensor. Once it leaves the specified range, it will explode immediately. I don't think Miss Akikawa would want to see that happen."

After saying that, she walked out the door and locked the room from the outside.

Akikawa Sarana watched Pramia leave in another direction from the system monitoring. Her expressionless face collapsed only after she walked out of the system's monitoring range.

However, she did not stop her movements. She turned her wrist and smuggled a detector out of the system space. She scanned the entire room, including the collar around her neck. After confirming that there was no monitoring device, she breathed a sigh of relief and put the detector back into the system space.

Then she took out another thing, and Akikawa Sarina silently thanked Mouri Ran in her heart.

Thanks to lucky Xiaolan, this is the same as the locator in her body, both of which were won in the last lottery. Thank you, lucky Xiaolan!

After thanking Xiaolan, she took the thing in her hand and stabbed herself. Tongzi said that this was a nutritional supplement that had no side effects and temporarily improved the user's condition in all aspects. One bottle would last for about two days, which was just enough for her to hold on until Tongzi woke up.

Moreover, there are five nutritional supplements in a set, and she happened to draw a set, so she didn't feel too bad about using one.

Next, she just waited, waiting for Ling to find her based on the location, and waiting for Tongzi to wake up.

------

Toru Amuro did not make Akikawa Sarina wait too long. After about half an hour, his blue dot was almost overlapping with Akikawa Sarina's blue dot.

Akikawa Sarana heard no movement outside and knew that he was not sure about the situation here, so he did not dare to act rashly.

She walked to the door and knocked on it rhythmically a few times. This was a secret signal between the two of them, indicating that it was safe and there were no eavesdroppers.

Sure enough, Toru Amuro outside became much bolder after hearing her rhythmic knocking. He came to where the sound came from and saw that there was a very obvious lock on the place where there should have been a secret door.

The lock was not difficult to open. After studying the door lock, Toru Amuro raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times in a rhythmic manner using the same secret code.

<Are you okay? Are you injured?>

Akikawa Sarana listened to the rhythmic knocking, judged his secret signal in her mind, and continued knocking on the door after listening.

<I'm fine, I'm not hurt.>

Now Toru Amuro felt a little relieved. He took out a very thin wire from his body and skillfully picked the lock.

Akikawa Sarana took a step back and waited for her boyfriend to open the door.

In just a few breaths, Toru Amuro opened the door that was locked from the outside, and he pushed open the door of the room directly.

Looking at his girlfriend who seemed safe and sound standing not far from the door, Toru Amuro took two steps forward, walked up to her and hugged her in his arms.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Akikawa Sarana patted his lower back gently and apologized.

Toru Amuro loosened his hold on Akikawa Sarana, his eyes fell on the strange collar around her neck, and at the same time he raised his hand and gently stroked the side of her face, "Sarina, you don't have to apologize."

He was only worried all the way, without any thought of blaming her, because he understood Sarina, if it was him, he would choose the same approach.

The warm reminiscing between the two did not last long. Akikawa Sarina pulled Amuro Toru, who wanted to take her away, and sat on the bed in the room.

Amuro Toru understood something from her actions. He took another look at the collar on his girlfriend's neck and asked, "Is it this thing that is controlling you and preventing you from leaving?"

"Yeah." Akikawa Sarana nodded, "There's a sensor on it. It will explode immediately if you leave this range. As for the previous explosion..."

Akikawa Sarana gestured with her hands, "Only two thin bracelets like these caused the explosion above. So, if the one on my neck also explodes, I'm afraid this whole street will be destroyed."

Hearing Amuro Toru's subconscious inhalation, Akikawa Sarana gently patted their clasped hands and said in a casual tone: "She still wants to use me to lure you guys, and she won't detonate the bomb immediately. We still have at least two days. So..."

Akikawa Sarana looked into her boyfriend's purple-gray eyes, "The mission of saving me will be left to you."

Amuro Toru held Akikawa Sarana's hand with his backhand and said with a firm tone as if he was risking his life: "I will never let the bomb explode."

Akikawa Sarana gently kissed the corner of his lips, "This is an early reward for the winner."

Amuro Toru couldn't help but hugged Akikawa Sarana again, "Sarina, you've already locked on the candidate for Pramya."

He said an affirmative sentence, not a question.

"Ah."

Talking about business did not prevent them from drawing strength from each other. Akikawa Sarina leaned on his arms and said, "Pramya is a woman, so I have two suspects."

"two?"

"Well, combined with your information, I have locked the person between Natalie Ida and Christina Lisa."

Noticing that something was wrong with Amuro Toru, Akikawa Sarina sat up straight. She looked at him with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

"Sarina, the two of them..."

Toru Amuro thought that one of these two people was Ms. Natalie, who had been in a long-term relationship with the class monitor and had just married him a year ago, and the other was Nakamura-senpai's fiancée, whom he had been in love with for three years and was going to marry in two days. Even he found it difficult to accept it for a while.

Even if he didn't say it, Akikawa Sarana understood what he meant. "I know it's hard for you to believe, but these two are the only ones I can focus on right now."

Amuro Toru pursed his lips, as if he had made a decision, "I understand. I will focus on these two people."

Akikawa Sarana thought of her observations of Pramiya along the way, "Oh, by the way, she should have an old injury on her right arm. You can use this as a basis for a test."

"An old injury to your right arm?"

As if he had thought of something, Toru Amuro said, "Hiro's shot at her left her with an old wound."

Akikawa Sarina looked at his understanding expression and probably pieced together the missing clues, "So, she wants to take revenge on you guys because of her old injury."

Amuro Toru shook his head. "More than that, it may also be related to the fact that we accidentally ruined her plan back then."

He briefly told Akikawa Sarina that there was a foreign organization that was also hunting down Pramya.

After hearing what he said, Akikawa Sarana thought of the obvious hatred in Pramia's tone when she mentioned them, as well as her decisive actions in killing the two bombers, and she was still a little worried.

"You must be careful during the investigation. Pramiya is a cruel and vicious person, and he is also quick-witted. You must be careful."

(Sure enough, it relapsed again. I feel a little sleepy after taking the medicine. I will sleep first. If I wake up before 12 o'clock, I will continue writing. If I wake up after 12 o'clock, I will code again tomorrow.)
