Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away
Chapter 377: Running Towards Dusk 24
Before the elevator door reopened, Toru Amuro and Sarina Akikawa exchanged glances.
Just now on the first floor, the signal that Ling gave her was that there was a camera, so the two of them were much more careful when they talked afterwards. According to Ling's cautious character, this camera must not have existed when he came in the afternoon.
I just don't know if this camera is part of the game or if someone deliberately placed it in the tower. The former is easy to say, but if it's the latter...
That means there is something wrong with the organizer of this game, so they let them draw a specific clue card. The verification method is also very simple. They will know it when they go to the so-called "Beidou" to take a look.
With the experience on the first floor just now, Akikawa Sarana first used the system's monitoring to check the seventh floor. She relaxed a little only after finding no cameras or the like.
The structure of the seventh floor is completely different from that of the first floor. The entrance and exit of the elevator is very conspicuous. It is located right opposite the staircase, and there is even a small arrow on the ground to indicate it.
Looking at the arrow, Akikawa Sarana complained expressionlessly: "This designer and the owner of the villa seems to be a person who likes to play pranks very much."
Imagine that someone who couldn’t find the elevator climbed to the seventh floor and the first thing he saw was the elevator. Although seven floors are not very high and climbing up is not too tiring, this design is full of bad taste.
Amuro Toru chuckled, "Fortunately, I'm not the one who was deceived."
He found the elevator first and then took the stairs this afternoon, so it wasn't like he was cheated.
Hearing what he said, Akikawa Sarina looked at him with a smile in her eyes. It seemed that he took the stairs first in the afternoon.
Being looked at, Toru Amuro gave his girlfriend an innocent and aggrieved look in return, and his cheeks puffed up childishly, which made him look even more adorable as his age-defying appearance grew.
Yes, it is cute, the smile in Akikawa Sarina's eyes became more and more intense. At the same time, she pulled her scarf down slightly, tiptoed and kissed Toru Amuro on the cheek.
In an instant, Toru Amuro got what he wanted and smiled with his eyes curved. He pulled his girlfriend's scarf up again, and even pulled it up a little more, so much that only Akikawa Sarina's eyes were exposed.
Noticing his girlfriend's slightly narrowed eyes showing dissatisfaction, Amuro Toru hugged her and whispered in her ear: "The wind on the top of the tower is too strong. I'm worried that you'll catch a cold when I open the door."
The top floor of the tower is not closed like the first floor. It has many windows and a platform leading to the outside. What Amuro Toru meant by opening the door was opening the door leading to the platform outside.
Akikawa Sarana also knew that he was worried about her, so even though she had some thoughts in her mind, she did not refute his words, but took the initiative to say: "I'll wait for you inside."
As she spoke, she reached out to button up someone's open coat. Even though she had just felt the heat from his hand, she didn't stop her from doing that. "You have to keep warm too. Don't try to be cool!"
Of course she knew that her boyfriend was a super strong man like a gorilla, but she was jealous and envious, so he had to button up his coat obediently.
There is a kind of cold that your girlfriend makes you feel, so after buttoning up his shirt, Akikawa Sarina untied the scarf around her neck.
"Sarina." Worried that she would catch a cold, Toru Amuro wanted to stop her, but was stopped by a look from his girlfriend.
The look that Sarina gave just now really looked like that of Gin with murderous intent. Amuro Toru had never been looked at like this by her before and his eyes moved with guilt.
He had only seen Sarina look at other people in the organization with this kind of eyes before, and at the time he only thought they were similar in appearance. But this time when they met face to face, he realized how similar his girlfriend had learned this trick, it was almost like Gin himself.
Putting away her previous look, Akikawa Sarina returned to her usual appearance when facing him, her deliberately narrowed eyes turned back into their natural round arc, "It's windy outside, but it's still warm in here. I won't get cold even if I don't wear it. You can wear it to block the wind."
Amuro Toru obediently bent down to allow his girlfriend to perform better, "Sarina is right."
After Akikawa Sarina finished all the preparations and walked to a sheltered place, Amuro Toru turned and walked towards the platform leading to the outside. After going out, he quickly closed the door, keeping the wind and snow outside.
Akikawa Sarana was observing clues through the system monitoring perspective together with Amuro Toru outside.
The scenery outside the tower is very beautiful, especially since it is the highest point in the entire villa and also the highest point on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the snowflakes falling outside, Akikawa Sarana turned her surveillance camera toward the sky. If it didn't snow today, the stars in the sky would probably be very beautiful...right?
Wait, the stars in the sky, "the Big Dipper"...
Akikawa Sarana looked up at the sky and "looked" according to the approximate position of the Big Dipper at this season.
Then the corners of her mouth twitched. The location that stood out like a conspicuous bag in the dark seemed to be the approximate location they thought it was after seeing the "Big Dipper" before.
The answers to "Tower of the High Tower" and "Dipper of the Big Dipper" actually refer to the same place. Isn't this question too simple?
Naturally, Toru Amuro had also thought of what she could think of. Akikawa Sarina saw that he was also looking up at the sky, and also looked in the direction she had just looked.
Similarly, she also saw her boyfriend's almost concrete speechlessness and his sudden wide eyes.
Toru Amuro outside was indeed speechless just as Akikawa Sarina had guessed. He had thought that there would be a different answer to the puzzle in the evening, but who knew it would be the location of the Big Dipper.
However, before returning to the interior of the tower, he took another look at the layout of the entire villa and took two photos with his mobile phone, recording the layout of the villa as seen from a high vantage point on his mobile phone.
After closing the door to the outside again, Amuro Toru brushed off the falling snow on himself. Akikawa Sarina also came over from her sheltered corner to help him.
Noticing that she didn't take off her gloves, Toru Amuro was not worried about the snowflakes freezing to his girlfriend's hands, so he asked her for help. He even took the initiative to put his head in front of her and asked her to help clean the snow off his head.
Akikawa Sarina smiled as she helped him clean up and said, "What a fire man."
Thinking of Tomoko's promise that she would have the same physical fitness as Zero in the future, Akikawa Sarana felt a little more excited about the future.
After cleaning up the snow, the two began to slowly walk downstairs. After confirming that there were really no clues in the tower, it was more than an hour later when the two returned to the first floor.
Akikawa Sarana looked at the new clue card they found on the third floor. It had the same symbols they had seen in the afternoon. "It's a good thing we looked for it a little longer, otherwise I would have thought there was only one clue in this tower."
However, the new symbol is still a small part of the shape and still cannot form a recognizable pattern.
Amuro Toru said with a smile: "I think the clue above should be that the person who set the question wanted us to see the scenery of the villa from a high place. The person who set the question probably didn't expect it to snow suddenly."
Akikawa Sarana sighed softly, "What a pity, the scenery that was specifically pointed out by the questioner should be very beautiful."
But she wasn't particularly disappointed, because she had watched it with Zero through the system monitoring perspective. She didn't wait for the people around her to comfort her before continuing to speak: "It's getting late, let's go back and find another clue, and then go back."
Although the clues might not be complete by then, she believed in her lover's reasoning ability, and looking at the expression on his face she knew that he should have almost got the answer.
As expected, Amuro Toru nodded with a confident smile, "Okay, let's take another look over there, we should be able to come up with a conclusion."
Akikawa Sarana took off her slightly dirty gloves and rubbed his face with her hands. "Sure enough, you already have the answer."
Amuro Toru, who was already used to having his cheeks rubbed, bent down slightly and cooperated with her ravages.
------
The snow was getting heavier, and when Akikawa Sarana and Amuro Toru left the tower, the snow had already covered the footprints they had left when they came in. Amuro Toru looked at the thickness of the snow on the path they had come from, and he walked in front of Akikawa Sarana, intending to carry her back directly to the main house of the villa where they lived, which was also the direction of the "North Star" they were going to.
Noticing his actions, Akikawa Sarana, who was secretly contacting the system to ask her to drive carefully on the road, reminded her again to be careful.
At the same time, she raised her hand and gently patted her boyfriend's shoulder. "The thickness of the snow is not bad. I won't get cold. But my shoes may not be very slip-resistant. You have to hold on to me and don't let me slip."
She said the last sentence with a smile, obviously joking with Amuro Toru.
Hearing this, knowing that she was seriously refusing to be carried on his back, Amuro Toru nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I won't let you slip, Sarina."
He reopened the umbrella and held it over their heads, and then the two of them walked back slowly with their fingers interlocked.
"Sister Akikawa, Mr. Amuro, you guys are back."
At the same place in the morning, Mouri Ran and Conan met Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru again.
The only difference is that this time, Ran Mouri and Conan are accompanied by their game teammates, while Akikawa Sarina is held in the arms of Princess Amuro Toru.
"Ran, Conan, what a coincidence." Akikawa Sarana, holding an umbrella in her hand, nodded calmly to Mouri Ran and greeted her.
Toru Amuro, who was holding someone, greeted them with a smile.
But Conan, who knew these two people a little better, could see at a glance the despair and hopelessness behind Akikawa Sarina's calm expression, and the smile hidden in Amuro Toru's eyes.
"What's wrong with Sister Akikawa?" asked Mao Lilan with concern.
Ochi Eri, a doctor standing by, also asked in a doctor's manner, "Are you injured?"
"It's okay, thank you." Akikawa Sarana seemed a little embarrassed when several people suddenly stared at her with concerned eyes. She turned her head slightly and didn't look at them, and just replied with a few simple words.
Conan had seen through everything from the two people's expressions. Adhering to the attitude that these two people would definitely not do anything to him when there were many people around, he pretended to be a child and deliberately said: "Akikawa sister must have slippery shoes, so Amuro brother brought her back."
Children speak without restraint. Facing Akikawa Sarina's angry eyes, Conan, who had been teased many times before, smiled at Akikawa Sarina, and his eyes clearly expressed this meaning.
Amuro Toru suppressed his smile and explained to Mao Lilan and the others: "Thank you Ms. Xiaolan and Ms. Ochi for your concern. Sarina is fine. The snow was too thick on our way back. I was worried that Sarina's shoes would get wet and she would get cold, so we came back like this."
Thinking of how cute Sarina was just now, trying to walk back after she nearly fell down several times, Amuro Toru pursed his lips to suppress his smile, "Before leaving, Miss Nishikawa said she would prepare some warming soup. With such a strong snowstorm, let's go in and drive away the cold first."
Hearing him take the initiative to change the subject, Akikawa Sarana expressed her satisfaction and decided to forgive him for not being able to help laughing at her behavior just now.
In fact, after Toru Amuro started to explain, even Ran Mouri could see the smile hidden in Toru Amuro's heart, but everyone was a person with high emotional intelligence, and after knowing that the person was not injured, they naturally would not continue to ask any questions.
So everyone returned to the main house of the villa together.
"Have Amuro brother and Akikawa sister found any clues?" Conan asked curiously on the way.
The direction these two people came from could be the garden in the backyard of the villa or the tall tower. Conan was a little curious about what clues they had found.
Amuro Toru said with a smile: "Of course I found it."
And because there were two outsiders present, Akikawa Sarina continued to maintain her cold personality and did not take the initiative to talk to anyone.
"But don't tell Conan-kun."
Before Conan could continue asking, Toru Amuro added, "After all, we are now considered gaming competitors."
Although he knew that he could not get any information from Amuro Toru, Conan still persevered without any frustration, "What a pity! I was originally planning to exchange some information clues with Amuro brother."
Toru Amuro just smiled at Conan and didn't respond to Conan's words, as if Conan following them was really just an ordinary elementary school student.
Back in the main hall of the villa, just as everyone was changing their shoes and brushing off the snow that was blown onto their bodies by the wind, they suddenly heard a terrified scream coming from upstairs.
"what!!!!"
Hearing this voice, everyone's expression changed.
Conan said in a serious tone, and ran upstairs quickly, "It seems to be Miss Nishikawa's voice."
At the same time, Toru Amuro came to the conclusion, "The direction of the sound is from the east!"
Before leaving, he glanced at Akikawa Sarina, and after receiving her reassuring look, he quickly caught up with Conan who had already run out.

(I had a good sleep and feel much better. At least the fever is gone. I am a little happy.)
