Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

After seeing the highlight of the day, the gem "Akassia", everyone who still had work tasks also started to act separately.

The exhibition downstairs would not start until 10 noon, and the banquet would begin after 10 pm. Before that, from the 16th to the th floor, there were only a few people present, except for the police and staff.

Matsuda Jinpei's temper remained the same. He didn't like this kind of social occasion, and he didn't plan to go downstairs to check the exhibition in advance. He said, "While there are no outsiders here yet, I'll go downstairs to check again."

Conan, who just wanted to go downstairs to check, quickly raised his hand and said, "I'll go with Officer Matsuda!"

The three members of the detective team saw that Conan was going to act alone, "We want to go together too!"

Matsuda Jinpei looked at the little brats and was about to say something when Suzuki Sonoko, who was holding her best friend, said, "Can we come along too?"

Mao Lilan, who was hugged by her arm, saw her best friend's appearance and knew what was going on with her. She gently pulled Sonoko and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Sonoko..."

But all these requests were ruthlessly rejected by Jinpei Matsuda, including Conan's request to work with him later.

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya looked at Jinpei Matsuda's back as he left and exclaimed: "Officer Matsuda is still as cool as ever."

This was not the first time they had interacted with Officer Matsuda, who looked very much like a gangster. And because they had interacted with him so many times, they knew that this officer only appeared to have a bad temper.

Joyce, who almost thought that Officer Matsuda was a corrupt cop at first, nodded in agreement when he heard the kid's words. He also thought that the officer was very cool.

Maori Kogoro looked at Joyce and said, "Mr. Joyce, I'll go check it out as well."

After all, he had taken other people's money, so Kogoro Maori thought it would be better to do something. Of course, the most important thing was that he was not very interested in the exhibits downstairs.

"Okay, please feel free to do as you please, Mr. Maori."

Joyce looked at the people around her with her honey brown eyes and said, "Leave the children to me to take care of them."

Jiro Suzuki said that the arrangement was basically done and he wanted to take a rest and come back in the afternoon. After refusing Joyce and Sonoko Suzuki's company, Jiro Suzuki took the elevator to the lounge on the 12th floor alone.

......

At the safety passage on the 10th floor, Jinpei Matsuda, who had been checking floors one by one from the upper floors to this floor, stood at the stairs after checking the last passage entrance, leaning against the wall as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, footsteps were heard coming from upstairs. After seeing who was coming, Jinpei Matsuda smiled and asked, "Why is Mr. Amuro coming down from upstairs?"

Amuro Toru also smiled and looked at his good friend, "I am the same as Officer Matsuda. I always have to see it in person before I can feel at ease."

After staring at Amuro Toru for a while, Matsuda Jinpei still couldn't hold back his inner desire to complain, "I think Hagi will definitely regret not coming this time. You really need to let him see what you look like. You really look alike."

Amuro Toru nodded in agreement, "Hagiwara's personality does make it easy for him to get closer to strangers."

He did not deny at all that he imitated his friend.

"Tsk..." Matsuda Jinpei said with some disdain, "I haven't seen you for so long and you've become even more shameless."

However, he only expressed his disdain verbally. Seeing his good friend standing in front of him unharmed, Matsuda Jinpei felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Toru Amuro coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

Well, actually, even now he would feel a little embarrassed if his friends saw him pretending to be another friend.

Seeing him like this, Jinpei Matsuda couldn't help but laugh out loud, but considering the environment, he still paid attention to his volume.

By the time he had laughed enough, Toru Amuro had already returned to his current state as Rei Furuya.

"I still like you better like this."

Matsuda Jinpei commented, and then asked, "Are you here to perform a mission? Do you need my help with anything?"

"There is no important mission this time."

Amuro Toru leaned against the handrail of the stairs and said, "Just pretend you don't know me."

Matsuda Jinpei nodded, "Okay, I understand."

He stood up and prepared to go back upstairs, but before leaving, Matsuda Jinpei looked back at Amuro Toru who was still leaning against the handrail of the stairs and said, "We are all waiting for you to come back safely."

The corners of Amuro Toru's mouth raised a smile again. This time it was not the smile he imitated when he was with his friends, but the confident smile of Rei Furuya. "Well, I will be back to see you safely."

Whether it's him or Hiro.

......

Inside the banquet hall, Akikawa Sarina, wearing a long evening gown, stood in a corner looking at her target of this mission, who was also the host of this banquet - Joyce Le Goff Cornell, not far away.

She has done everything she should have done and reminded everyone she should have. If Mr. Joyce is still not on guard, then it's not her fault that she took the information away. After all, she still has to give an explanation to the organization.

"Beep, the host has triggered a daily mission. Please stop the poisoning at the banquet and assist the police in arresting Kamo Ichiro who poisoned the drinks. Save a life that is about to die."

“Mission prompt: See that glass of non-alcoholic grape juice? That’s it!”

Today's daily task finally arrived, but after reading the task content and prompts, Akikawa Sarana and the system fell into a brief silence.

Akikawa Sarina stared silently at the grape juice in her hand. After a long moment, she sighed in her heart: "Your mission... came just in time, Touko."

Although she had no intention of drinking the drink in her hand from the beginning, this was her habit. She usually held the food in her hand for show and would not drink it. This was also her vigilance as a member of the organization.

The system also lamented that the random daily task was refreshed in a timely manner, "Fortunately, host, you did not drink the grape juice in your hand."

Akikawa Sarina shook the cup in her hand again. She did not rashly sniff the liquid in the cup. She asked the system in her mind, "Can you detect whether Kamo Ichiro poisoned only the cup in my hand or poisoned indiscriminately?"

"It was a separate drug."

The system quickly came to the conclusion, "Kamo Ichiro is at the host's 8 o'clock position."

After saying this, the system subconsciously sighed again, "I'm so scared. Isn't it said that Kaito Kidd is the god of survival rate? The host was almost poisoned to death!"

Akikawa Sarana heard an interesting name, and she asked, "God of Survival Rate?"

"Oh, I almost forgot that the host didn't hang out on Ming Ke's forum in his previous life."

The system explained to its host: "The general meaning is that whenever Kaito Kidd appears, basically no one dies. Even when he is on the same stage with Conan, no one dies, so the forum nicknamed him 'God of Survival Rate'."

Looking at the cup in her hand, Akikawa Sarana nodded. It seemed that Kidd's title of "God of Survival Rate" was not wrong.

There is still plenty of time now, enough for her to complete today's daily tasks.

Thinking of this, Akikawa Sarana took the wine glass in her hand and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall. If she had any difficulties, she would find the police.
