Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Without waiting for Conan to say anything, Akikawa Sarina looked at the time on her watch and said, "It's almost time. If the murderer wants to strike again, it will be now. You should be able to catch up with him if you go."

[Sui Sui, get ready. ]

[Okay, Sarina.]

Akikawa Sarina asked Conan again: "Can we cut off the last external communication after 3 minutes?"

Conan came back to his senses and knew that Akikawa Sarina didn't want to say that, so he tactfully stopped talking and nodded, "Okay."

[Sui Sui, start the 3-minute countdown. ]

[Okay, the 3-minute countdown begins.]

He said as he handed his detective armband to Akikawa Sarina, "Ms. Akikawa, this is for you."

Akikawa Sarana did not take the detective armband from Conan, but took out another communicator that was about the same size as the detective armband without any logo, "This one is still safer, but the disadvantage is that the range is very short, only 100 meters, and it can't cover the villa."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Conan understood what Akikawa Sarina meant. He put away his detective armband and took the communicator that Akikawa Sarina handed to him. Although it was only 100 meters away, as long as nothing unexpected happened, they didn't need to communicate anymore.

Seeing him turn around and run outside, Akikawa Sarana warned him worriedly, "Be careful."

Conan responded to her with a voice that had turned back into that of a child, "Don't worry, Sister Akikawa."

Watching Conan running out, Akikawa Sarana avoided the water marks on the suicide note and picked it up. She was wearing a pair of silk gloves that would not affect her movements indoors, so she was not afraid of leaving fingerprints on the suicide note that could be used as evidence later.

After reading the contents of the suicide note, Akikawa Sarana sneered, "Adding fuel to the fire."

The content of the suicide note was very simple. Kyoko Sakai said that she killed someone to atone for her sin, and now there was another sinner, so she didn't plan to live anymore and wanted to die to atone for her sin.

If there hadn't been this suicide note, the detectives might have hesitated a little longer in choosing the murderer. But with this suicide note, it would be no different from the murderer turning himself in.

Akikawa Sarana put the suicide note back on the table.

[Sarina, all signals have been cut off, and the 1-hour countdown has begun. ]

Akikawa Sarana glanced at the weather forecast on the system panel, [The snow is almost stopping, are you guys going to set off soon? ]

[They are still waiting to see when the snow will stop. However, Hagiwara has already started investigating based on the information you asked me to give them. As for Matsuda, after he received the news that you were safe, he went to work on the case he came to Gunma to handle.]

Sitting here waiting for someone, Niino Natsuho glanced at the police and said, "Sarina, according to your plan, it seems that I won't be needed."

Akikawa Sarina changed her posture and sat with her legs crossed, saying leisurely, "Why can't I use you? Although Conan's plan is perfect, I still feel a little uneasy. I'm still waiting for you to hack those videos."

【Great! 】

Hearing that she still had work to do, Niino Natsuho was instantly happy, [By the way, Sarina, did you forget something? ]

[Are you talking about the review I just did? ] Akikawa Sarana paused, remembering her review that was interrupted by these people.

[Yes, yes, did you think of something just now?] Niino Natsuho was very sure that her host's emotional ups and downs at that moment must have made her think of something important.

Akikawa Sarana didn't answer her directly. "It's just my guess. I'm not sure now. Anyway, just destroy those surveillance cameras. The rest is not something we need to consider right now."

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Akikawa Sarana stood up and returned to her room with the suicide note. She took out the remaining four smoke bombs from the suitcase. The reason she brought the suicide note was to protect the evidence so that it would not be destroyed.

Niino Natsuho was puzzled, "Sarina, isn't there a bomb in my system space? Why didn't you tell Conan that we brought a bomb?"

Akikawa Sarina changed her coat and pretended to go back to her room to change clothes. When she heard Tongzi's question, she said with a half-mooned look, "Susu, did you forget that the suitcase was packed by zero? He knows best what I brought and what I didn't bring."

[As for the bomb that Conan wants, we don't need to buy it. I think someone should have some.]

After changing her clothes, Akikawa Sarana picked up the suicide note again and walked out, returning to the hall.

She had just sat down when she saw the three people from Mao Lilan's group pushing the door in.

Mao Lilan didn't see Conan, and looked at Akikawa Sarina with some confusion, "Akikawa sister, Conan?"

Akikawa Sarina raised her eyes and looked at Mao Lilan, "The child just said that he wanted to go to the toilet. He said that he was already a big kid, so he didn't let me accompany him. Maybe he was shy?"

As she spoke, she pointed in the direction Conan had left before. There was a toilet and a small door leading to the outside, which was the small door used by the villa staff to enter and exit.

Without waiting for Mao Lilan and the others to say anything, Akikawa Sarana looked at the three people, mainly at Ochi Eri, "How is it going over there? Did you find the person?"

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha both shook their heads. Ochi Eri replied, "No, and we won't find anyone in the direction we're going. Didn't Mr. Sanyou say that Ms. Sakai went out of the villa? We were responsible for some places in the front yard of the villa that are not easily seen by others, and we didn't see anyone."

Mao Lilan knew Conan's character very well. She was a little worried that Conan might have sneaked out again. "Sister Akikawa, I'm still a little worried that Conan will run away. How long has he been gone?"

Akikawa Sarina raised her hand and pretended to check the time on her watch, but in fact she was monitoring the location of the communicator that Conan carried with him through the system monitoring. "Probably less than five minutes?"

She raised her eyes to look at Mao Lilan who seemed a little worried, "Since you are worried about him running away, why don't we go check it out together?"

Ran Mouri nodded repeatedly. She and Kazuha Toyama ran in the front, while Sarina Akikawa and Eri Ochi, who deliberately slowed down their pace, followed behind.

After the two of them turned the corner and disappeared from sight, Akikawa Sarana stopped and said in a low voice, "Chartreuse.1"

Following Akikawa Sarana, Ochi Eri's smile froze for a moment. She slowly put away the harmless smile she had put on her face and said with a slightly sighing tone, "You are worthy of being Lord Limu. You were able to find out my information so quickly under such circumstances."

Hearing her address her as "Sir", Akikawa Sarana, who was facing away from Ochi Eri, had a dark gleam in her eyes, and then she pretended to be angry and said, "What exactly do you want to do? Did you kill that person?"

"Of course not..." Ochi Eri chuckled, "I didn't expect that Lord Limu and Bourbon would come to a place like this for a date. I'm so sorry for causing trouble for your date."

Listening to her insincere words, Akikawa Sarana turned to look at Ochi Eri, "So it was you who provided the environment for the murderer."

In response to Akikawa Sarana's words, Ochi Eri just smiled at her to show her agreement.

"Your target is Maori Kogoro?"

Akikawa Sarana pretended to have just figured out the answer. Her eyes carried the same murderous intent as Gin's. "You should know that Maori Kogoro is Bourbon's target. Do you want to steal his mission?"

"Lord Limu, what you said is a bit too biased."

The murderous intent locked onto Eri Ochi, and cold sweat formed on her forehead. "It's not something I can decide on my own."

"Then you, a researcher in the laboratory, should know the consequences the first time you meet me here."

Akikawa Sarina had already grasped another gun in her sleeve and pointed it directly at Ochi Eri's forehead. "You should know my character."

It seemed that Eri Ochi finally remembered the rumors about Limu in the organization. Her voice trembled a little, "Lord Limu, you can't do this. This time I am on a mission personally ordered by the boss. How can I report to the boss if you kill me? And... don't you want to maintain a good relationship with those detectives? If you kill me, you..."

"Since you keep calling me Sir, I guess you must be one of the people who knows my identity. So what do you think the boss will do to me after I kill you?"

Akikawa Sarana interrupted her nonchalantly, her tone cold and sinister, "Besides, I have killed many people like you before, so one more of you is nothing."

"As for your mission... Bourbon will naturally report to the boss on your behalf,"

Akikawa Sarana moved closer to her with a malicious smile in her eyes, "The boss only wants the observation report on Maori Kogoro. It doesn't matter who submits the report. I asked you to come because you happened to be in Japan, and Bourbon is accompanying me on vacation..."

She just thought about it. There is only one possibility why Ochi Eri chose this villa as the venue. On the surface, she is the boss's person, but in fact, she is also Rum's confidant.

As for her later words, they were purely to fool Eri Ochi. The boss called her here probably because he knew that she was also Rum's confidant, so he treated her as a discarded pawn.

The old lady Karasuma Renya probably didn't expect that she and Bourbon would come here, nor did she expect that Ochi Eri would take the initiative to provoke her.

"Lord Limu..."

Akikawa Sarana saw the fear hidden in her eyes, "Are you scared now? Why weren't you scared when you provoked me before? Do you think I'm not Gin and have no right to kill you?"

"I was wrong, Lord Limu." Ochi Eri uttered these words with difficulty.

"You are wrong. As long as you are not a rat, Gin will not kill you immediately even if you provoke him. But I am different."

Akikawa Sarina said as she pressed her finger on the trigger, and saw Ochi Eri close her eyes in despair...

"Bang." Akikawa Sarana made a sound from her own mouth simulating a gunshot.

This sound made Eri Ochi sweat break out on her forehead. Then she realized something was wrong and opened her eyes suddenly, and found that Akikawa Sarina was still pointing the gun at her, but she had moved it slightly away.

Noticing her gaze, Akikawa Sarana said impatiently: "Tsk, if Bourbon hadn't said you were still useful, you would have died just now."

Looking at Ochi Eri who was breathing heavily, Akikawa Sarana curled her eyes, as if she was very happy because she had just scared her. "Tell me, what is your mission?"

"Lord Limu, the mission is a top-secret mission sent directly by the BOSS..." Ochi Eri is also a scientific researcher. She knows very well that she cannot beat Akikawa Sarina who has a gun, so she can only say this.

"That's it."

Akikawa Sarana nodded and said lightly: "Then you just wait to die."

Ochi Eri gritted her teeth, "Lord Limu?!"

Akikawa Sarana ignored her. She had already seen Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha running back from the system monitoring perspective. One second before the two people returned to their corner, Akikawa Sarana instantly put away the gun in her hand.

She didn't turn around, her tone was cold but also showed some concern, "Are you feeling better, Ms. Ochi? Do you want to go back to your room and rest?"

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha, who were originally anxious, heard her words. Toyama Kazuha asked, "What's wrong with Miss Ochi?"

Akikawa Sarana seemed to have just heard their footsteps and turned to look at the two of them. "Ms. Ochi suddenly felt dizzy and then broke out in cold sweat..."

"It's okay, I just didn't get enough rest last night. I'll be fine after some rest later."

Eri Ochi couldn't even beat Sarina Akikawa who was holding a gun, let alone Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama. In addition, she knew from Limu why she said that.

So, she said this in coordination with Akikawa Sarana.

Akikawa Sarina knew she would say that. She asked Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha, "Look at the expressions on your faces, did Conan go out to play?"

Mao Lilan looked helpless, worried, and a little angry. "There was no one in the toilet. I saw Conan's footprints on the path leading outside. The kid must have wanted to play the detective game again, so he sneaked out."

She looked at Akikawa Sarina and Ochi Eri, and vaguely realized that the two seemed to dislike each other, and Ran Mouri was a little conflicted.

Toyama Kazuha was also someone who had seen the sarcastic scene between Akikawa Sarina and Ochi Eri this morning. Just when she was about to say something, Akikawa Sarina spoke.

"Let's go out with you, Xiaolan, to find Conan. You asked me to keep an eye on Conan, but I didn't do it. I will go with you to find him."

Mao Lilan, who had originally planned to go by herself, was stunned for a moment, "It's too cold outside, Sister Akikawa, you're still catching a cold, I can go by myself."

Akikawa Sarina waved her hand, "It's okay, I've already made sure to stay warm, I'll stay with you."

As she said this, she walked out without waiting for Mao Lilan to continue to refuse.
