Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Around 11 o'clock in the morning, after having a good rest (crossed out) and reading the case summary sent by Niino Natsuho, Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru stood up from the sofa, feeling a little overwhelmed.

While they were sorting each other's clothes, Akikawa Sarana asked in a subtle tone: "What do you think it will be this time?"

She asked this question without any context, but Amuro Toru understood it. He looked a little strange, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's hard to guess, but there will be ghost stories in the mountains that can be used to play tricks... probably the more famous ones, such as Hannya, Yamado, or Tanuki?"

Akikawa Sarina paused as she straightened his collar. "Come to think of it, this place shouldn't be too far from Akagi Mountain, right? Maybe we can borrow some of the legends there?"

Amuro Toru held her hand and replied seriously: "That's possible."

Even though the two of them wear amulets and talismans, they really don't believe in them. Although they occasionally say things like thank you for blessings, they are both atheists in the final analysis.

Even when Toru Amuro began to suspect some of Akikawa Sarina's strange behavior, the biggest idea he had was whether she was abducted by aliens instead of classifying it as something supernatural.

So when they read the case summary just now, they focused more on the murderer and his methods, and did not pay much attention to the myths and legends that Niino Natsuho wanted them to pay attention to.

Moreover, the two men did not take it seriously, but felt that it was unnecessary to use those messy legends to commit crimes. It could not achieve anything except scaring people, but would add a lot of unnecessary traces of the crime.

The lunch time written in the check-in instructions was 11:, which was just the right time to go downstairs. Walking down the spiral staircase to the first floor, the hall where the villa was previously located was now empty, and only the sound of someone talking could be heard faintly from the restaurant next door, so the two of them walked towards the restaurant next door.

The structure of the restaurant is very simple. In addition to the common castle and villa furnishings, there is a long dining table that can accommodate twenty people.

Some people were already seated at the table, while others were standing and talking and had not yet sat down.

Akikawa Sarina quickly glanced at the two people sitting two seats apart at the corner of the dining table.

Toru Amuro looked at the people who were standing and talking. They were Kogoro Mori who was surrounded by three strangers.

"Sister Akikawa, this way." On the other side of the dining table, Ran Mouri, who had already sat down, waved at Sarana Akikawa and called out softly.

To her right is Conan, and to her left are Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji.

Akikawa Sarana and Amuro Toru did not hesitate and walked straight towards Mouri Ran and the others.

After greeting each other, Toru Amuro pulled out the two chairs next to Conan and the two sat on Conan's side.

Akikawa Sarana glanced at Maori Kogoro who was surrounded by people not far away and asked, "Mr. Maori, has he been recognized by someone?"

Mao Lilan nodded and said, "There is a gentleman among the guests who is a fan of Dad."

Conan, who was sitting next to Akikawa Sarina, also looked at her. He smiled with his crescent eyes, and it was obvious that he was secretly complaining about something in his heart.

At the same time, Mao Lilan was also motioning Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru, who were listening to her, to look at the man in his twenties wearing a gray sweater standing next to Mao Li Kogoro. "That's Mr. Yokoyama Joji, the screenwriter of a unit that will be broadcast in the future of this drama."

It was obvious that these people had already introduced themselves to each other, and Mao Lilan continued to introduce them to those who arrived later.

"Standing on the other side of my father is Mr. Kento Nomura, a mystery enthusiast who is also a fan of my father.

The other one is Mr. Sanyu Teiju, he is a photographer.”

Although Mao Lilan lowered her voice, the two ladies sitting opposite them were not far away from them, and they obviously heard their conversation.

So when the three people's eyes fell on the two ladies opposite who were not sitting together, the two ladies who looked a little aloof but were not actually introduced themselves.

Among them, a young girl in her twenties wearing a pink sweater waved at Akikawa Sarana and said, "Hello, my name is Morimoto Mika, and I'm a cartoonist."

After she finished speaking, another lady who was dressed in casual clothes and looked a little older, about 30 years old, also spoke up: "Sakai Kyoko, she's a novelist."

Hearing the two people introducing themselves, Akikawa Sarana and Amuro Toru also introduced themselves to them.

"Toru Amuro, a private detective who is also a student of Mr. Mori's."

"Akikawa Sarina, a company employee."

Well, even the CFO is an employee of the company. And although she hasn't been to the company in public for a long time, her salary is still paid by the company as usual, and even her insurance is paid on a monthly basis as usual.

Toru Amuro seemed to know what Akikawa Sarina had complained about in her heart. He quietly held his girlfriend's hand with the hand under the table, and the smile at the corner of his lips changed slightly.

The two people opposite were obviously just introducing themselves politely. After hearing what Toru Amuro and Sarina Akikawa said, they just nodded simply, said hello, and then returned to silence.

At this time, the butler and two maids came out from the passage leading to the kitchen from the restaurant. Each of the three people pushed a small cart for delivering food.

Seeing the butler and his companions coming over, Maori Kogoro and his companions, who were chatting animatedly, stopped their conversation.

The three people who were chatting with Mouri Kogoro over there noticed that there were two more people in the restaurant. They looked at the two people who were obviously familiar with Mouri Kogoro's family and were talking and laughing, and realized that these two people were traveling with Mouri Kogoro.

"Mr. Mori, who are these two?" asked the most talkative screenwriter Yokoyama curiously.

"Ah, this is my eldest apprentice, Toru Amuro, he is also a private investigator, and the other one is Akikawa Sarina, Ms. Akikawa."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between Toru Amuro and Sarina Akikawa, so Kogoro Mori didn't say anything extra.

After another round of greetings, everyone sat down again.

After everyone sat down again, the butler and two maids served lunch to each guest.

Akikawa Sarana noticed that the meals of the two ladies sitting opposite them were obviously different from theirs. It seemed that this was the rule written in the accommodation rules that allowed orders to be placed two hours before the meal.

After the butler finished serving the meal, he bowed slightly to the guests and said, "Except for one lady who will arrive at the villa in the afternoon due to some matters, all the lucky draw guests have arrived."

Those who had not yet picked up their cutlery looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces.

The butler continued, "A game will begin after dinner. The content of the game will be kept secret for the time being. The scope of the game at night is in the living rooms of non-guests and staff in the entire castle villa.

The area outside the castle villa is within ten meters of the surrounding forest. Any further out is not within the game range and there will be obvious signs in the forest.

After lunch, guests can pick up a hand-drawn map in the lobby next door if they are interested, and explore the terrain for the evening game. All explorable areas have been marked on the map. "

After saying this, the butler bowed to everyone again, then left the restaurant with two maids.

When the butler finished, everyone in the restaurant looked at each other again.

The talkative screenwriter Yokoyama spoke first, "Hahahaha, you sound so mysterious."

Hattori Heiji glanced at the dryly laughing screenwriter Yokoyama and said, "Mr. Yokoyama is almost an insider, right? Is there any inside information you can tell us?"

Nomura Kento, who is also a fan of Maori Kogoro, also echoed: "Yes, yes, Mr. Yokoyama is an insider, he should know the process of this event, right?"

When asked such a question, screenwriter Yokoyama showed a very embarrassed expression on his face, "The event was discussed by the sponsor and the producer. I am just the screenwriter of one unit and I don't know the process.

All I know is that the sponsor of this event seems to have changed, and the director and his team will probably come tomorrow.”

He shrugged and a hearty smile appeared on his face. "Besides, it's fairer for this event that I don't know the inside information, isn't it, hahahaha."

Photographer Sanyu Teiju agreed, "Yes, Mr. Yokoyama's qualification to participate in the game is the same as ours. He got it through a lottery, not through any internal qualification."

While a few people were chatting, a few had already started eating in silence, such as Akikawa Sarina and the two ladies sitting opposite her, as well as Toru Amuro and Conan.

None of them had any interest in getting involved in this discussion.

Moreover, Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru, who planned to have a date atmosphere, were both very interested in the evening games and planned to finish their meal quickly and then explore the villa!

A few people who were also interested in the evening game and liked reasoning talked in low voices while eating so as not to disturb others.

After a meal, a few people with high emotional intelligence at the table can tell the personality of each person present.

After the meal, Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru said hello to Maori Kogoro and the others, and then went back upstairs. There was heating in the villa, and their first exploration target was the forest outside the villa, so they had to go back to the room upstairs and put on thick coats, otherwise it would be easy to catch a cold and have a fever if they were out in the mountains in such weather.

Before stepping onto the spiral staircase, Akikawa Sarana picked up a hand-drawn map that the butler had mentioned.

“This hand-painted map is quite unique.”

Akikawa Sarana looked at the map in her hand, which should have been printed in color, and finally concluded, "It's very cute. It's the kind of map that even children can understand."

As she spoke, she handed the map in her hand to Toru Amuro.

Amuro Toru took the map and took a look at it, a smile flashing in his eyes, "It's a very childlike map, it doesn't look like the style of a mystery drama crew."

He put the map on the table in the room, took the coats that the two people were wearing today from the hanger beside them, and handed Akikawa Sarina's to her.

After putting on his coat, Toru Amuro took out a scarf and gloves from the closet and carefully wrapped the scarf around his girlfriend and put on the gloves.

Akikawa Sarina pulled down her scarf a little bit, and said coquettishly, "You're going to wrap me up like a bear."

"Nothing like a bear, and Sarina is so cute like this."

With a smile in his tone, Toru Amuro bent down and kissed her forehead. Then he picked up the hat beside him and planned to put it on his girlfriend before going out.

Akikawa Sarana was just complaining on purpose. She knew her physical condition and would not act willfully.

However, she took another look at her boyfriend who was only wearing a thin sweater and a not-too-thick coat.

She was not envious. Sui Sui said that after the mission was completed and she took the potion and recovered, her physical fitness would be no worse than that of the people around her whose physical fitness was comparable to that of gorillas.

And that day isn’t far away, she can wait!

After Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru left the restaurant, Toyama Kazuha looked at the intimate two with a little envy in her eyes. When she withdrew her gaze, she subconsciously glanced at Hattori Heiji who was sitting next to her, and noticed that he had also just withdrew his gaze from the two.

She tilted her head slightly. Heiji felt weird. He had been feeling weird since he met Ms. Akikawa and Mr. Amuro.

Mao Lilan has become accustomed to the atmosphere between these two people. Although she is a little envious, she is not that envious. She also received a gift from Shinichi a few days ago, a beautiful cherry blossom pendant necklace and even red bean milk.

The email Shinichi sent her said that the Sakura necklace was the same as the Sakura badge and Sakura number plate that they had known each other for when they first met, and now it was given to her as a gift to commemorate their change of identity.

As for the red bean milk, Shinichi said that he drank it by chance and thought it tasted good, so he shared it with her.

To be honest, Mao Lilan was a little confused when she received these two gifts. She had never thought that one day the straight man Shinichi would take the initiative to do such a thing.

He would give her gifts to commemorate their relationship, and would even share with her something he happened to drink that tasted good.

The confused Ran Mouri told this to her good friend Suzuki Sonoko. Sonoko swore that Shinichi must have met a love master and learned something from him.

Even the little kid Conan thinks so. He also said that Shinichi was embarrassed or didn't realize it before, but now that his identity has changed, he dares to express his feelings openly.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan felt her cheeks slightly blushing. She has been thinking about what gift to give Shinichi recently, also as a gift for his change of identity after starting a relationship.

Ran Mouri glanced at the direction where Akikawa Sarina had just left. How about asking Sister Akikawa later? She should have some experience, right?
