Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away
Chapter 375: Running Towards Dusk 22
If it were someone else, Mika Nishikawa might have thought that the other person was trying to find out about the castle, but when it was a little kid like Conan, she just thought it was childish curiosity.
"We didn't work in this villa before. We just came here temporarily to entertain the guests of this event."
Nishikawa Mika lowered her head and smiled at Conan, "Besides, there aren't that many guests this time. We only need to prepare three meals for the guests, so it's not too tiring."
She blinked her eyes when she said this, "Tell Conan secretly that Kokubo and I have earned two months' salary just by working here for a few days."
The labor cost for someone like her working in a high-end villa is not low. In addition, it only takes a week from coming here in advance to preparing until leaving, and she can earn two months' salary directly from this one week's work.
In fact, another way of saying this job is that she and Kokubo had to beat many people to get this opportunity.
Conan's face suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."
The roads in the villa are winding, which is why no one doubted Conan's decision to get lost. After the two of them went around several bends, Mika Nishikawa pushed open a door and the two of them successfully returned to the hall.
At this time, Ran Mouri and others were waiting for Conan in the hall. When they saw Mika Nishikawa bringing Conan back, Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri walked up to them.
Ran Mouri thanked Mika Nishikawa, while Kogoro Mouri gave Conan a slap on the face, blaming him for running around and causing trouble for others.
Conan was holding his head in his hands, jumping and shouting in pain. Hattori Heiji, who was forcibly pulled back by Toyama Kazuha, was watching and laughing beside him.
When he heard Kazuha and Xiaolan say that Conan was lost, he knew that it was just an excuse made up by Kudo. Even though the passages inside the villa were winding, he didn't believe that this guy would get lost.
Now seeing him being punished by Mori Kogoro, Hattori Heiji, who has a bad friend personality, naturally will not miss this opportunity to have fun.
When Conan turned around, he saw Hattori Heiji who was grinning. He originally wanted to discuss the news he had just overheard with Hattori Heiji, but he immediately retracted his idea and grinned at Hattori Heiji.
No one took this little accident seriously, and everyone went their separate ways to "explore". Only Kogoro Mori and screenwriter Yokoyama were still drinking and chatting in the hall.
Around five in the afternoon, Akikawa Sarina was woken up by the system alarm that was set in advance. After taking a nap to restore her strength, she opened her eyes and looked at Toru Amuro who was still holding her with his eyes closed.
Seeing that he was pretending to sleep, Akikawa Sarana snuggled a little closer to his arms, then leaned over to blow gently on his neck.
Knowing that he had been discovered, Toru Amuro deliberately opened his left eye only slightly and met the smiling eyes of his girlfriend.
This time he opened his eyes completely, and his eyes were also filled with smiles.
"When did you come back?" Akikawa Sarina put her hand under the quilt on his waist, which felt very good, and rested her head on his chest, "You are not wearing pajamas."
"I just came back not long ago. I saw you were sleeping soundly so I wanted to lie down with you for a while. I didn't expect you to fall asleep."
Toru Amuro rested his chin on his girlfriend's head, his voice still had a hint of huskiness from just waking up, and there was a hint of grievance in his voice, "It's uncomfortable to sleep with clothes on."
He woke up when Sarina just woke up and moved. It was rare for him to sleep in the afternoon, and he occasionally wanted to be lazy, so he deliberately didn't open his eyes.
The two of them lay there hugging each other for a while, and then got up when they felt it was about time.
Toru Amuro stood up first, and under the gaze of his girlfriend, he slowly took out the clothes he wanted to wear from the closet.
The clothes they were wearing in the morning were soiled during their "exploration" in the forest. It would be impolite to wear them again, so they had to change their clothes.
Akikawa Sarina's resentful voice came from behind Amuro Toru, "You are deliberately seducing me."
Amuro Toru turned around and smiled at her, revealing a bit of pure innocence, "I didn't."
Akikawa Sarana pursed her lips at him and said, "So I misunderstood."
After she finished speaking, she got up from the bed. Amuro Toru took this opportunity to put on the white low-necked sweater and dark gray pants he had just taken out.
He handed the beige turtleneck sweater that was hanging with his clothes to Sarina who was already standing next to him, "How about this one? The weather has been a little gloomy since the afternoon. It might snow tonight."
Her boyfriend's clothing style is always good, so Akikawa Sarina naturally wouldn't refuse him, "Okay~"
Toru Amuro took out another pair of pants that were also gray but a little lighter than his and handed them to his girlfriend who was already wearing leggings.
After Akikawa Sarina changed her pants, Amuro Toru took out two apricot-colored mid-length jackets.
Seeing that he was obviously going to wear couple outfits, Akikawa Sarina naturally would not object. On the contrary, she was very happy about it.
Again, Zero is not the only one who gets jealous. She is also jealous and possessive. Her boyfriend is so outstanding, she also wants to declare her possessiveness to the world all the time.
Just as the two of them simply washed up and put on their coats to get ready to go out, Akikawa Sarana suddenly stopped.
Amuro Toru noticed her condition and looked down at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Akikawa Sarina looked a little strange. When she heard Amuro Toru's question, she shook her head slightly at him, "Nothing, I just had a sudden ominous premonition just now."
Amuro Toru frowned, "An ominous premonition?"
He glanced outside through the unopened door, as if he had thought of something, and whispered, "Perhaps...something is really wrong in this villa. Let's be as careful as possible when we act."
After saying this, he was still a little worried, "Sarina, try not to separate from me."
Hearing him say that, Akikawa Sarana's expression changed again, "Okay."
[Hoho, what's up with this main quest that was suddenly released?] The two pushed the door open and walked out. In the corridor, Akikawa Sarina, who was holding Amuro Toru's arm, communicated with Niino Natsuho in Tokyo in her mind.
[I don't know either. This is a sudden mission. What happened to you guys, Sarina? ]
This is Natsuho Arano, who is hurriedly packing the items she wants to take with her. She and the host have been waiting for the daily tasks that have not been refreshed today, waiting to continue completing the tasks to accumulate energy.
Unexpectedly, the main quest was suddenly released. She couldn't leave the host alone there, she had to get to the host as quickly as possible.
The reason why she asked the host this was because her system perspective was previously locked in a small dark room, so she could not see what was happening around the host.
Akikawa Sarina felt a little depressed, and her good mood was swept away. [Nothing happened between me and Zero. We were just getting ready to go downstairs for dinner...]
She looked at the name of the mission she saw. [Dark Shadow, this mission name... just looks creepy.]
[Sarina, I'm done packing. I'll be at your place soon.] Niino Natsuho rushed out of the door carrying the suitcase she had hastily packed and threw it into the car parked in the yard.
Akikawa Sarina gently patted Amuro Toru who was looking at her worriedly, signaling that it was okay.
At the same time, she reminded herself in her heart, "Be careful on the road."
......
At the same time, in a corner of the villa.
A shadowy figure quietly sent an email with a cell phone, "Successfully contacted the target person, but unexpectedly ran into Limoux and Bourbon, requesting further instructions."
------
Putting aside the situation with Akikawa Sarina, Toru Amuro was also on guard.
He believes that the so-called sixth sense predicts danger and anxiety, which is the brain unconsciously sorting and analyzing the information received from the outside world through the five senses. The analyzed information is usually stored in the subconscious of the brain, and when a certain moment triggers the information hidden in the subconscious, the anxiety about the danger judgment is obtained.
To put it simply, based on this person's past experience, Sarina's perception of danger is stronger than theirs, so he doesn't think that Sarina's "ominous premonition" is an illusion.
Something dangerous must be happening!
Just like that, the two people, who were secretly on guard, came to the restaurant again.
Everyone's seats in the restaurant were similar to those at noon, except that there were two fewer people, one was Kogoro Mori and the other was screenwriter Yokoyama.
Akikawa Sarina instantly thought of the scene in which she saw Kogoro Mouri drinking before returning to her room in the afternoon. Thinking of that man's passion for wine, she thought that he was probably drunk, right?
She turned her head to look at Amuro Toru, who already knew what she wanted to ask. He leaned close to her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "They were both drunk. When I came out this afternoon, I helped send them back to their room."
As expected, Akikawa Sarana turned her head to look at someone who was already standing and gently tickled his palm, indicating that she already knew.
Then the two of them sat down at the seats they had sat at noon. After sitting down, Amuro Toru looked at Mao Lilan and asked with concern: "Ms. Xiaolan, how is Mao Li teacher?"
Thinking of her father who had just arrived here and was drunk and asleep and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard she tried, Mao Lilan subconsciously clenched her knife and fork, and her face became a little uglier, but it was only for a moment. She looked at Amuro Toru and replied: "Dad is fine. He was still sleeping when we came down just now. I have asked Miss Nishikawa to save dinner for Dad and Mr. Yokoyama."
By the way, I also asked Mr. Kitajima to take care of Mr. Yokoyama who got drunk after drinking with his father.
Dinner was also peaceful and smooth. Nothing like what Akikawa Sarina had imagined happened, such as someone suddenly getting poisoned and dying at the table or someone quarreling.
After dinner, no one left the table. The butler, Kokubo and Nishikawa removed the plates and served refreshments to everyone.
Seeing the butler coming back, everyone knew that tonight's game was finally about to begin.
"After this afternoon's 'adventure', I believe you have already guessed what our game tonight will be about."
Hearing him say this, most of the people present laughed good-naturedly.
Hearing everyone's laughter, the butler Bei Dao's smile deepened a little. "Then I'll cut to the chase. Our game activity tonight is a treasure hunt. The map used for the treasure hunt is the hand-drawn map that everyone took away in the hall this afternoon."
At this time, the maid Mika Nishikawa pushed a cart and walked to Kitajima's side. After stopping the cart, she stepped back a few steps and stood next to her colleague Kokubo.
The butler lifted the cloth covering the cart to reveal a not-too-big box underneath, which looked like a small lottery box.
"Since this is a treasure hunt game, there must be a puzzle-solving phase, and the information about the treasure is in it."
Without hearing the housekeeper continue, the mystery enthusiast couldn't help but speak up, "Are you asking us to randomly draw clues?"
The butler smiled again, "Mr. Nomura is right. Our master said that luck is also a kind of strength, so the requirement for this part is to draw a lottery."
"Can the information we draw be exchanged?" Manga artist Mika Morimoto asked curiously, her eyes falling on the group of people sitting opposite her who were obviously familiar to her. "If it can be exchanged, wouldn't that be a bit unfair?"
Hattori Heiji was young and full of energy. He noticed the look in Morimoto Mika's eyes. Before he could speak, the butler Kitajima continued, "You can exchange. The master said that communication skills are also a kind of strength."
"I agree with this."
The doctor who came later in the afternoon, Ochi Eri, smiled and spoke. She glanced at the group of people sitting together, and finally her eyes fell on the minors, "It's not necessary to cooperate with people you know well, right?"
Hearing what Ochi Eri said, Hattori Heiji grinned, "That's right, it's more fun to solve puzzles by yourself."
After the two of them said this, the atmosphere in the restaurant, which had been a little stagnant, became lively again. Photographer Sanyu Teiju scratched his head and said, "But I'm not very good at solving puzzles."
After saying this, he looked at Hattori Heiji, a high school detective from Kansai, and then at Amuro Toru, a disciple of the famous detective Mori Kogoro. Thinking back to the atmosphere between them when he met these two people in the afternoon, he decisively gave up the choice of forming an alliance with Amuro Toru.
He looked at Hattori Heiji, "Hattori-kun, can I hold your thigh?"
The alliance must be formed before drawing clues, otherwise it is not an alliance but a desire for other people's clues.
Sanyu Teiju was also very confident when he spoke, without any embarrassment in asking for help from a minor younger than himself.
Hattori Heiji paused for a moment. To be honest, this was the first time he met someone so straightforward. "Okay... okay."
When Toyama Kazuha heard that Hattori Heiji agreed to the alliance, she naturally did not object since she was not very good at reasoning. She smiled and waved to Sanyutei Ju.
