Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Hearing what Kogoro Mori said, the butler Yukichi Kitajima, who had also returned to the first floor, also helped to call other people over.

Even Mika Nishikawa and Chizuru Kokubo, who were still busy in the kitchen, stopped preparing lunch and were called from the kitchen to the hall.

About ten minutes later, most of the people had returned to the hall one after another, leaving only Kyoko Sakai and housekeeper Kitajima who had called her over.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Butler Kitajima came back alone, with a panicked look on his face, "Mr. Maori, it seems that no one is in Ms. Sakai's room. I knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered."

"What?!" Kogoro Mouri was shocked and was about to run upstairs.

But what Sanyuutei said next interrupted Maori Kogoro's actions, "As for Sakai, I think I saw her go out before?"

"What time? Is she alone?" Hattori Heiji asked sternly. Uncle Mori had said before that she was not allowed to go out alone.

Sanyuutei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It seems to be one person. As for the time... Mr. Amuro came to me to ask about the photo and left. I didn't check the time at that time."

"Mr. Sanyou, are you sure that the person you saw was Ms. Sakai?" asked Toru Amuro with a frown.

Sanyou Teiju nodded firmly, "I can be sure of that. I am a photographer after all. By the way, she was heading towards the gate of the villa."

"Ran, the three of you go upstairs and check Ms. Sakai's room."

Maori Kogoro assigned tasks to everyone with a serious face, "Amuro, come with me to take a look."

Knowing the fighting capacity of the minors, Kogoro Mori asked them to go to Kyoko Sakai's room, meaning to ask them to break the door.

He and Toru Amuro were the two adults responsible for going out to take a look.

"Hai!" The three minors responded without hesitation and ran directly upstairs.

Conan hesitated for a moment, and when he made the decision to follow Kogoro Mouri, Akikawa Sarina, who had walked up behind him out of nowhere, grabbed his collar.

Akikawa Sarana nodded to Amuro Toru, who was a little hesitant and did not immediately leave with Maori Kogoro, "I'm fine, you should go and check on Mr. Maori."

"Be careful." After whispering a warning, Toru Amuro turned around and followed Kogoro Mori.

Akikawa Sarana looked at the remaining people with different expressions and said coldly: "I advise you to stay here and not go anywhere, otherwise something bad will happen..."

She didn't say anything else, but the rest of the people understood what she said. Although their faces were still unhappy, they didn't say anything more to object and each found a place to stand or sit.

Akikawa Sarina had already let go of Conan's collar and wrapped herself in a blanket and sat back in the corner where she and Amuro Toru had been chatting at the beginning.

She didn't look at those people and continued to pretend to close her eyes and rest, but in fact she was continuing to communicate with the system.

She already knew what the case was about, so she was not in the mood to deal with it at the moment. She should focus more on her own mission.

[Sui Sui, I already know who the 'black shadow' is. What should I do next? Should I try to send her to prison or what? ]

The empty task bar did not have any clear instructions like before, asking her to save someone or something, so she didn't know how to complete this task.

[Sarina, wait a minute, I'll look through the system manual. ]

Natsuho Arano, who was waiting for the snow to stop, also pretended to close her eyes and rest, but in fact she was transmitting most of her data back to her host. Searching the system rules required her to use a higher computing power, so the body over there could only remain asleep for the time being.

[Found it! Sarina, the system rules say that the system task data will automatically calculate your task completion status. If you encounter this kind of task and it is not shown as completed, it means that there are still secrets that have not been discovered.]

Hearing this answer, Akikawa Sarana frowned slightly, "I understand. 】

It seems that this mission is not to find this person, but to find out what her mission is.

A mission that even Vermouth didn't understand...

Akikawa Sarana felt that she still had to review it again. There must be something she overlooked...

This event has changed organizers once, and the current organizer is the organization;

Koichi Kitajima and the cameras on the maids;

All external communication channels were physically blocked;

A series of murders and the murderer whose information was hidden by the organization;

The missions personally assigned by the boss are carried out in the villa owned by Rum;

And Kogoro Mori has once again entered the organization's sight...

Akikawa Sarana looked at Mouri Ran and the other two running down. She saw that the two girls had normal faces and were not frightened, as well as Hattori Heiji's ugly expression.

No, Kogoro Mori has once again entered the organization's sight...

Hattori Heiji placed the suicide note on the table with a handkerchief, looked at everyone and said, "There is no one in Miss Sakai's room, only a suicide note."

Akikawa Sarana continued to think while listening to their conversation.

[Speaking of which, Sarina, have you noticed that the cases that have happened around Maori Kogoro recently seem to be a little strange. ]

Akikawa Sarana's intention in reviewing the situation was to share the system, so she also performed substitution operations to see if she could calculate any results from her side.

[Strange?] Akikawa Sarana pretended to open her eyes as if she had heard the suicide note, and looked in the direction of Hattori Heiji.

"A suicide note?! That couldn't be it?" Nomura Kento was surprised. He wanted to say something but then closed his mouth. He also subconsciously took a step back.

"Since it is a suicide note, it means that the other party may be dead."

Ochi Eri glanced at everyone, her eyes lingering on Akikawa Sarina in the corner for a moment, before she said, "It's too much work for Mr. Mori and Mr. Amuro to go out and look for people alone. Should we team up in pairs and go out to help look for people?"

Hattori Heiji also meant the same thing. If we calculate the time, if they had found her in time, Sakai Kyoko should still be alive.

Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement, "I agree. Let's all form groups of two and go out in different directions to search together. This way we can avoid encountering danger."

He looked at Akikawa Sarina, who was barely trustworthy, and said, "Miss Akikawa is not feeling well. Can you stay in the villa and help take care of her?"

Akikawa Sarana naturally would not object, she nodded, "Okay."

Hattori Heiji walked up to her and placed the suicide note in front of her, "I'll trouble Miss Akikawa to take care of this."

Then Hattori Heiji divided everyone into several groups. "Waha, Xiaolan and Miss Ochi will form one group, while Miss Kokubo and Miss Nishikawa will form another group. The two groups will be responsible for the front and back yards of the villa."

"Mr. Nomura and Mr. Sanyou are in one group, and Mr. Kitajima and I are in another group. Our two groups left the villa and separated from Uncle Maori and the other two. Their footprints should not have been covered yet."

------

Everyone had no objection to this grouping. They put on thick coats to prepare for the cold and then left the room.

However, before leaving, Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha specifically asked Akikawa Sarina to help take care of Conan.

There was absolutely no room for Conan to refuse.

Akikawa Sarana naturally would not refuse the two of them, even though she guessed that Conan would definitely not stay in the villa obediently.

After everyone left, Akikawa Sarana confirmed with the system that there was no surveillance or eavesdropping around, and then looked at Conan who was studying the suicide note that Hattori Heiji left with her.

Seeing his bitter and resentful expression, Akikawa Sarana asked curiously, "What did you see?"

Conan whispered: "This suicide note should be left by the murderer."

Akikawa Sarina nodded, "I can tell from Hattori-kun's expression. As for the murderer, have you figured it out?"

Conan glanced around, seeming to be hesitant.

Knowing that he was looking for surveillance and wiretaps, Akikawa Sarana said, "For now, there are none of the things you're worried about."

"Has it happened before?"

Conan didn't miss the point of her words. Before Akikawa Sarana could say anything, he held his chin with one hand and looked like he was thinking, "I carefully observed Ochi Eri, and didn't find any wiretapping or surveillance on her... Could it be Mr. Kitajima?"

After returning from the broken bridge, Conan had a secret communication with Toru Amuro. They had already communicated the most important intelligence to each other, so there was no difficulty in communicating at this time.

"It's not just Kitajima, there's also Kokubo and Nishikawa, but they both don't know about it."

Hearing what Akikawa Sarina said, Conan's expression became more serious. After a moment, he said again: "Ms. Akikawa, do you have any other ideas about those surveillance cameras?"

Akikawa Sarana shook her head. "Since Su Su is not here, there is no other way. If I want to destroy it, I can only use physical means, but..."

Conan understood what she meant, "It must be destroyed in a reasonable way, otherwise it will be more suspicious."

"Yes."

Although having all means of external communication blocked is good for the masterminds behind the scenes, it is not entirely bad for them.

Akikawa Sarana looked at Conan, "I am now almost certain that they have not sent the surveillance video back yet. What do you want to do?"

Although she also had some ideas, she felt that she should look at Conan's side. As Susu said, plans that have gone through Conan's hands generally won't have any major mistakes.

Conan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Akikawa Sarana, "Ms. Akikawa, do you have any way to make it so that everyone is really unable to contact the outside world? Including satellite phones."

Akikawa Sarina did not answer Conan immediately, but asked her own son again, "Hoho, can you do it?"

Niino Natsuho quickly gave Akikawa Sarana the answer, [Yes, it will cost 10 energy points, the time limit is one hour, and the energy consumption is not much. ]

After hearing Tomoko's answer, Akikawa Sarina said to Conan: "One hour, is that enough time?"

Conan showed a look of delight, "That's enough."

Akikawa Sarana asked again: "What do you need me to do?"

Conan thought for a moment and then asked, "Ms. Akikawa, did you bring a gun this time? What about bombs and smoke bombs?"

These were what he discovered when he was with Akikawa Sarana before. The other party would carry these things with her when she was on a mission, but he also knew that the two of them were here for a date and vacation, not a mission, so he was not sure whether Akikawa Sarana brought those things this time.

Akikawa Sarana took out a pocket pistol and a small marble from her waist and handed them to Conan, "I didn't bring much with me this time. I brought two pistols, which are not recorded in the organization. I didn't bring a bomb. After all, we are not going out on a mission, so there is no need to bring such a dangerous thing.

As for the smoke bombs, there were only five of them, and the other four were in the suitcase in the room. He only brought a pistol, one on his person and one in the suitcase.

Although there are no bombs, it is enough.

The pocket pistol is not big, it looks like a simulated children's toy, even in Conan's hand it is not too big. This is what Su Su made for her to use for self-defense after she was kidnapped by Pramia last time.

Conan took the marble that Akikawa Sarina handed to him. He had also seen Akikawa Sarina use this marble-shaped smoke bomb.

He looked up at Akikawa Sarina who was about to give him the pistol, "I have a tranquilizer gun, that's all."

Then he motioned for Akikawa Sarina to lower her head, leaned over to her ear and whispered his plan to her.

After hearing his plan, Akikawa Sarana thought for a moment and nodded to Conan, "It's not a big problem."

Conan scratched his head, "It's a good thing there's no bomb, otherwise this villa might be destroyed by accident."

Akikawa Sarana thought for a moment, "It's not impossible to destroy it. It's under Rum's name anyway."

Although this villa was once owned by her mother, judging from Kitajima Yukichi's behavior, one can tell that this place is probably similar to those safe houses she bought that can be abandoned at any time.

So if it is destroyed, it is destroyed. Even if it is not destroyed, it will not belong to her.

Conan muttered quietly, "It is indeed the organization's industry."

Akikawa Sarana heard what Conan was mumbling, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "You actually found out?"

"We stayed at the Twilight Annex in a previous case, the one in Tottori Prefecture."

Conan explained: "When I was exploring yesterday, I saw a crow pattern in a room that was similar to the one in the Twilight Villa. However, compared to the crow pattern in the Twilight Villa, the one I saw had more thorn patterns, so I'm not 100% sure."

Akikawa Sarana recalled, "The Twilight Annex in Tottori Prefecture... ah, you mean the annex built with gold? It seems to be an asset of the Karasuma family. I remember seeing the update record of the Tottori Annex when I was checking the accounts not long ago. As for the pattern you mentioned..."

She blinked slowly at Conan, "Because the pattern you see was drawn by my mother. The crow is the totem of the Karasuma family, and the thorns were added by her herself."

Conan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on, "That is to say, this villa was once..."
