Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Akikawa Sarana silently looked at the Thorn Crow pattern on Toru Amuro's phone. Due to the distance, she couldn't use the system monitoring to see the structure of the study room, and could only look at it through the photos on her phone.

Toru Amuro looked at his silent girlfriend in his arms with concern. Knowing his girlfriend's character, he didn't say anything else. He just turned her around and held her in his arms face to face.

"I am fine."

Akikawa Sarana placed her chin on his shoulder and said in a whisper: "You saw Thorn Crow in the study, which means that the owner of this villa is also related to the organization... that Kitajima Koichi..."

Akikawa Sarana thought about the way he looked at her and Reitoki, how he had personally delivered things to her several times, and how he had looked at the medicine box before leaving... She suddenly had a guess, "Could Kitajima Koichi be very familiar with her?"

Toru Amuro paused after understanding the implied meaning of his girlfriend's words. He had previously thought that Kitajima Koichi was also a member of the organization and must know Sarina's mother, otherwise there wouldn't be an identical Thorn Crow here.

"It seems that he showed me the Thorn Crow on purpose." Amuro Toru also confirmed his guess, "He showed me that on purpose..."

Akikawa Sarana sat up straight, their eyes met, and they said in unison, "He is reminding us."

But then Akikawa Sarana frowned, "Assuming that Kitajima Koichi is very familiar with her, then he recognized me because I look a bit like her, plus my hair color and eye color..."

Amuro Toru added to her second half of the sentence, "Then he confirmed my identity because of the rumors in the organization."

Noticing that his girlfriend wasn't upset because the matter of the Thorn Crow involved their elders, he relaxed with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was very happy that everyone knew about the entanglement between Bourbon and Limoux.

Akikawa Sarana noticed his mood change and looked up at him, "Are you happy?"

Amuro Toru had a proud look on his face. "Well, after recognizing you as Limou, he immediately determined that the person next to you was Bourbon, and didn't even consider the possibility that it was someone else. Of course I am happy."

Although they will act out an atmosphere of conflict later, it does not stop him from being happy because Bourbon and Limoux are now seen as a bond in everyone's eyes.

Akikawa Sarina looked at her boyfriend's proud look and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.

Without waiting for Amuro Toru's reaction, she said in a very destructive tone: "Then why did he remind us?"

Seeing his girlfriend acting like a sneaky little fox, Amuro Toru tightened his arms around her and whispered, "What do you think, Sarina?"

Hearing him say this, Akikawa Sarina stretched out her devilish hand and wanted to pinch his face, but the smiling Amuro Toru predicted it and deliberately turned his head to avoid it.

Although he only dodged for a moment, he was still caught by his girlfriend in her arms.

Akikawa Sarana didn't pinch his face this time, but tapped his cheek lightly with her index finger, "I was clearly asking you, why are you asking me again?"

Amuro Toru chuckled, "I just wanted to see...if Sarina's guess is the same as mine."

But he didn't keep the secret any longer and said what he was thinking, "Bei Dao probably doesn't want you to get involved in what's going to happen, so he deliberately led me into that room and let me see the Thorn Crow to remind the two of us that what's going to happen is related to the organization, so we shouldn't interfere."

Akikawa Sarana also smiled, "Just as I thought."

As she spoke, she laid on top of Amuro Toru again, burying her head in his neck, "But have they forgotten one thing? My favorite thing to do is to mess with them."

------

Toru Amuro put one arm around Akikawa Sarina's waist and gently stroked her hair with the other hand. At the same time, he relaxed his whole body to make his girlfriend more comfortable.

Hearing her say this, he whispered: "Rum asked us to team up, his purpose was to let me stop you..."

Who would have thought that in just a few months, the entire situation had changed drastically. Rum went from being the second-in-command of the organization who had the final say to being attacked from all sides and had almost completely lost the trust of his boss.

Originally, Rum used Bo Ben to restrict Limu, but now Limu has become a knife that the BOSS inserts into Rum's heart.

Because of her posture, Akikawa Sarana's voice was muffled. "Forget it. No matter what he wants to do, at least it proves that Kitajima Koichi is not targeting the two of us."

Although it feels a bit unfair to say this about Kogoro Mouri who was targeted, it is still much better than a situation where all of them were targeted.

"I'm suddenly glad that I didn't drag you away during the day."

Amuro Toru said firmly: "You won't."

"That's not necessarily true." Akikawa Sarana muttered, and then brought the topic back to where she had strayed from. "What do you think now? And what is Conan going to do?"

Amuro Toru pondered for a moment, "First, let's investigate what they want to find out from Mr. Maori. As for Conan... He didn't tell me what he was going to do, but at least he promised us that he wouldn't mess around."

Akikawa Sarana felt his gentle touch and rubbed his palm. "He can't do anything rash in this situation. We are trapped here now. If anything happens, everyone will die here."

This time she was really not worried that Conan would do anything wrong. No matter how radical that boy was, he would not do anything in the villa.

"Do you have any idea about the murderer?" Akikawa Sarana asked again.

Amuro Toru thought about the people he had listed as suspects. "I originally thought that the more suspicious people were Mr. Kitajima, Ms. Nishikawa, and Ms. Sakai. Now that I see the information, Mr. Kitajima can be ruled out. The remaining Mr. Nomura and Ms. Morimoto are included in the scope of suspicion."

"Ms. Nishikawa?" Akikawa Sarana heard an unexpected name, "Why is she here?"

Amuro Toru pursed his lips, "The reason why she was not ruled out is that her alibi is easier to forge."

"So that's how it is." Akikawa Sarana suddenly realized that the thinking was indeed different.

"Teacher Maori has repeatedly told the others not to open the door to anyone at night and not to go out alone. It's getting late tonight, let's wash up and go to bed."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom with her in his arms. "Although you slept for a while in the afternoon, Sarina should be very tired."

Akikawa Sarina, who was indeed very tired, put her arms around his neck and said, "I am a little tired."

She just received a message from Susu that the three of them had arrived in Gunma and had already contacted the on-duty detective at the Gunma Prefectural Police Headquarters. They would go into the mountains by helicopter as soon as the snow stopped tomorrow.

Now the three of them have arrived at the resting place to recuperate.

So she could rest assured and wait for tomorrow morning.

......

Just as the sky was getting light, Akikawa Sarana and Amuro Toru were awakened by a knock on the door.

Amuro Toru sat up and said to Akikawa Sarina, who was woken up and still had a confused look in her eyes, "I'll go check it out."

As he said this, he quickly picked up the clothes beside him, put them on and walked towards the door. However, he only opened the door a little bit.

"Mr. Kitajima?" Looking through the crack in the door, seeing Kitajima Yukiichi outside, an ambiguous emotion flashed across Toru Amuro's eyes.

Noticing that the door diagonally opposite was open, Toru Amuro walked out of the room and quickly closed the door with his backhand.

Kitajima Koichi had a typical frightened expression on his face, "Mr. Amuro, something happened."

"What happened?" The speaker was Hattori Heiji, who also heard the knock on the door and walked out, with Conan following him.

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, who had the door of the room next to theirs open a crack, opened the door and walked out after seeing the three of them come out.

Looking at the way they were both dressed neatly, it was obvious that they had heard the noise a long time ago. However, because of what Kogoro Mouri had told them last night, they obediently did not open the door. They only came out to see what had happened after they both came out.

Kitajima Yukichi spoke very quickly, "Ms. Morimoto seems to have had an accident. Mr. Mori has already gone there. He asked me to call Mr. Amuro and Mr. Hattori."

"What?!" Everyone looked at Kitajima Yukichi in disbelief. At the same time, Akikawa Sarina, who had already changed her clothes in the room, also opened the door. She also picked up a mask and put it on her face.

She heard these words as soon as she opened the door, so she turned on the system monitoring perspective to see Mika Morimoto's room.

Kitajima Koichi simply told a few people: "I saw it when I was clearing snow in the Kokubo courtyard."

This morning, he saw that the snow was not too heavy and showed no signs of stopping, so he asked Kokubo to drive the snowplow out of the garage and asked her to simply clear the snow in the villa courtyard and create a path for everyone to pass through.

When she just started cleaning, she noticed that something seemed to be wrong on the balcony of Mika Morimoto's room. Looking closely, it seemed like there was a person. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Kokubo felt a little uneasy, so she called the butler Kitajima. Butler Kitajima didn't dare to confirm whether the figure on the balcony was a human, so he called Kogoro Mouri first.

As everyone rushed towards Mika Morimoto's room, Butler Kitajima told them more details.

After listening to this, Hattori Heiji asked, "So, Butler Kitajima and Miss Kokubo have not entered Miss Morimoto's room yet?"

Butler Kitajima replied, "Yes, because of Mr. Maori's instructions last night, I did not knock on Miss Morimoto's door without permission, but came to Mr. Maori first."

I have to say that Butler Kitajima's behavior was very cautious. Kogoro Mori was recognized as safe by everyone present, so it was safest to let him go.

The group of people rushed to the door of Mika Morimoto's room, and their movements along the way also woke up Sanyu Teiju in the room they passed by. Hearing the noisy sound outside, Sanyu Teiju in the room dared to open the door to see what happened, and then he followed behind a few people silently.

"Miss Morimoto? Miss Morimoto?!"

When everyone arrived near Mika Morimoto's room, which was also on the fourth floor, they saw Kogoro Mori in his nightgown knocking hard on the door, but there was no movement. Next to him were Kyoko Sakai, who was woken up by his knocking, and the villa's two maids.

Toru Amuro glanced at his girlfriend, then quickly walked over to Kogoro Mori, "Mr. Mori."

Kogoro Mouri's face didn't look very good. He hadn't knocked on the door for such a long time, and he was not optimistic about the situation inside.

Hearing Toru Amuro's voice, Kogoro Mori stopped knocking on the door, looked at Toru Amuro, and the two of them started to break down the door.

In fact, every room in the villa has a spare key, but after what happened yesterday, Butler Kitajima gave everyone the spare keys to everyone's room, so Kogoro Mori and Toru Amuro chose to break into the room directly.

The two of them knocked on the door several times and finally broke it open.

As soon as they pushed open the door, they felt a chill rushing towards them. The temperature in this room was much lower than that in the corridor.

"Ms. Morimoto?" Kogoro Mori shouted into the room again, but still no one answered.

The two of them didn't hesitate and walked straight in. Hattori Heiji followed them into the room.

Akikawa Sarana had already seen the situation inside and outside the room before she broke open the door. Knowing how cold it was, she didn't move forward too far.

Standing closer, Conan noticed the temperature problem when the two people knocked on the door. He felt the cold air coming from the bottom of the door.

In the room, because of what Butler Bei Dao said, the three people went straight to the balcony and found out why the room was so cold.

The sliding door to the balcony of the room was not completely closed, and there was a gap of about ten centimeters.

Kogoro Mori stretched out his hand to stop Toru Amuro and Heiji Hattori who were walking forward. The faces of the three people who had already seen the situation on the balcony through the glass suddenly became more and more ugly.

Mika Morimoto fell on the balcony, her body covered with thick snow. Only her face was not affected by the snow because it was facing the ten-centimeter gap.

Looking at the half-smile on Mika Morimoto's face, the three detectives already knew what was going on.

Maori Kogoro turned to the door, "Mr. Sanyou, did you bring your camera?"

Sanyuuteiju, who was standing at the door, heard this and realized what Maori Kogoro meant. A sad expression appeared on his face, "I brought it."

He just took his camera with him when he went out, but he didn't expect...

Maori Kogoro turned back to Sanyu Teijuu, took the camera from him, and said to Maori Ran: "Xiao Ran, from now on, no one is allowed to enter this room."

Mao Lilan also understood what was going on. With a look of reluctance and sadness for the loss of a life, she nodded to Mao Li Kogoro and said, "Okay, Dad."
