Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

"careful!"

It was unknown when Toru Amuro came to Akikawa Sarina's side and grabbed her arm. Because his strength was too great, Akikawa Sarina was pulled up by him and fell into his arms.

She felt the familiar yet strange embrace and the strength of his arms. However, she reacted quickly and after hearing the same pounding heartbeat of Amuro Toru, she quickly struggled out of his arms.

Akikawa Sarana rubbed her arm imperceptibly. Touched? The moment he held her was indeed touching, but...

Akikawa Sarana, with her back to Amuro Toru, felt that she could no longer hold back the expression on her face. The place where her arm was held by him was really painful, especially because of the medicines she had taken back then, her body was very intolerant to pain. Her arm would probably be blue tomorrow.

Of course, Toru Amuro silently loosened his arms around Akikawa Sarina when she made a move. He still had his usual warm smile on his face. Only he and Akikawa Sarina, who was being helped, knew how fast his heart was beating at that moment.

"Hey, brat, I told you not to run around at the scene!"

At the moment when Toru Amuro grabbed Sarina Akikawa, Kogoro Mouri walked to Conan Edogawa who had just spoken, punched him on the head mercilessly, and then grabbed his collar and apologized to Sarina Akikawa.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Akikawa."

Akikawa Sarana looked at the child who was being carried obediently by Maori Kogoro and shook her head gently, "I was just thinking about something and didn't pay attention. It has nothing to do with the child."

As mentioned before, she knew the new favorite of major TV stations, newspapers and magazines, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, who was known as the "Sleeping Kogoro". There were probably not many people in Japan who didn't know this famous detective. She also remembered the child in his hand wearing big black-framed glasses. It was the child with his head down that she met when she left Poirot two days ago.

Edogawa Conan didn't expect that he would scare this person. Although she said that it had nothing to do with him, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the other person almost fell into the swimming pool after he spoke. He still apologized honestly, "I'm sorry, Miss Akikawa."

There are thin calluses on the fingertips, and the first joint of the middle finger of the right hand has traces left by long-term holding of a pen. Although the body is in good shape, it can still be seen that she is a standard office worker. The physique is poor and she doesn't look good at sports. The blue hair doesn't smell like hair dye, and the color doesn't look like dyed. Is it natural? Edogawa Conan has basically come to an analysis of Akikawa Sarina after just a short encounter.

Akikawa Sarina and Edogawa Conan exchanged glances, "It has nothing to do with you. I just didn't pay attention."

She didn't want to tell others that she was frightened by a voice that sounded like an auditory hallucination, so she could only repeat dryly that it had nothing to do with the child.

Seeing the child looking uncomfortable being carried, Akikawa Sarana said to Maori Kogoro, "Mr. Maori, please put the child down first."

Maori Kogoro saw the person said so, he put Edogawa Conan on the ground and said: "Hey, kid, don't run around, understand?"

Then he looked at his daughter, Mao Lilan, who had just walked over, and motioned for her to come over and take the little brat away.

Mouri Ran just let Conan run away from her without noticing. She held Conan's hand, nodded apologetically to Akikawa Sarina, and then took Conan, who didn't want to leave, to a corner.

Akikawa Sarina turned around and looked at Amuro Toru who was still standing next to her, "Thank you for just now, Mr. Amuro."

Hearing her thanks, Toru Amuro squeezed the right hand that he had hidden behind his back and had just held her. He seemed to still be able to feel the warmth of her body when he held her and the fleeting hug that was a long-awaited one for both of them.

With the same polite yet distant smile, Toru Amuro said to Akikawa Sarana: "You're welcome, Ms. Akikawa."

Although Akikawa Sarana was somewhat curious about why Toru Amuro was here, this was neither the time nor the occasion for small talk. In addition, on the surface, she and Toru Amuro were only casual acquaintances, having met once before in Poirot, so she simply thanked him and stopped talking.

Conan Edogawa, who was pulled away by Ran Mouri, also heard two simple exchanges between Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru. He didn't notice Akikawa Sarina at all in Poirot two days ago, so he looked at Amuro Toru curiously. Does this Miss Akikawa know Mr. Amuro?

Everyone present was interrupted by the accident. Yokomizo Shigego looked at Akikawa Sarina and asked, "Ms. Akikawa, do you remember where you met the deceased?"

Akikawa Sarana nodded. "After Mr. Fujiita's reminder, I do seem to have seen this lady yesterday, but she and I have no connection. I only saw this lady in the hotel lobby."

She pointed to the middle-aged man standing nearby and said, "I remember that this lady was with this gentleman at the time. Although there seems to be a big age difference between them, she should be the gentleman's wife."

When Akikawa Sarana said this, the faces of several people present changed to varying degrees. Several people with more active minds looked at Akikawa Sarana with slightly surprised eyes. This cold-faced lady spoke so directly. Wasn't she afraid of offending people?

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Akikawa Sarana asked knowingly, "Sorry, did I say something wrong?"

Everything is wrong, right?!

This is what most people are thinking. You can see that there is a big age gap between the two people, so how can you still think they are a couple? Could it be intentional?

That's right, Akikawa Sarana, who had already recognized who the man was, did it on purpose as everyone thought. She was just asking even though she knew the answer.

The man is the president of Morita Corporation - Kosuke Morita. He has seen his real wife, Akikawa Sarana. She is not the dead person in front of him, but Chisato Morita, the eldest daughter of the Morita family.

As for Mr. Kosuke Morita, he married into the Morita family many years ago. Such a man being so intimate with a woman who was obviously not his wife was one of the types that Akikawa Sarina hated the most, so she deliberately said this to disgust Kosuke Morita. Akikawa Sarina, who had no idea that the Morita couple had cheated on each other, only thought that Kosuke Morita had betrayed his marriage.

As a criminal policeman, Yokomizo Shigego was used to all kinds of ridiculous relationships between the people at the scene. His expression remained unchanged, "Ms. Akikawa, are you sure that you and Ms. Haruka only met once yesterday? Didn't you know each other before?"

Akikawa Sarana shook her head, "I'm not sure."

Everyone's attention once again returned to Akikawa Sarana.

"Although in my own impression, I should have only met this lady once yesterday."

Akikawa Sarina glanced at the employee who had just spoken and said, "But based on what Mr. Fujiita just said, from a normal person's perspective, this lady's behavior of asking about the location of my room means that I should have had some other connection with her in the past, but I can't remember if I have seen her somewhere else."

Yokomizo Shigeo understood. This was indeed the case. If Miss Akikawa still said that she did not know the deceased, he would increase his suspicion of her. "Then Miss Akikawa, please wait for a moment. We will trouble you to cooperate with our police work later."

Akikawa Sarina nodded, "Okay."

Only then did Yokomizo Shigego and Mori Kogoro look at the other two people they had just talked to.

"Well, Mr. Uchida Masato, please continue."

When Conan Edogawa, who was pulled away by Ran Mouri, heard this, he also pricked up his ears again and secretly listened to the police's questioning of the suspects.

Uchida Masato, who was interrupted in his statement of his alibi, recalled what he had said before, reorganized his words, and then continued: "As I just said, officer, the purpose of my coming here is to vacation, and it was really an accident to meet them..."

Hearing him say this, Kosuke Morita snorted coldly, "Don't even mention it as a vacation, you just followed me here."

As he said this, Kosuke Morita looked at Kogoro Mori, "Mr. Mori..."

Hearing Kosuke Morita calling him, Maori Kogoro, out of responsibility for his employer and also noticing the look in Yokomizo Shigego's eyes, cleared his throat and replied, "According to my investigation, Mr. Uchida Masato, this is not the first time you have followed Kosuke Morita. The purpose of your coming here this time should be the same as before, for Kosuke Morita."

Noticing the looks of the people present, Maori Kogoro added: "I forgot to introduce myself. This time, I am the detective and bodyguard commissioned by Mr. Kosuke Morita to investigate some things and also responsible for protecting his safety."

Maori Kogoro did not explain the details of the investigation, after all, it involved the employer's personal information. With so many people present, as a detective, he would not take the initiative to reveal more secrets if the police did not ask him to. Although Maori Kogoro felt that everyone present should know the employer's privacy, especially after what Miss Akikawa said just now.

Yokomizo Shigego stopped writing and asked, "Bodyguard?"

Kosuke Morita answered Yokomizo Shigego's question on behalf of Kogoro Mori, "It's like this, recently I always feel that someone is following me, and even has bad intentions towards me, so I asked Mr. Mori to help investigate and protect me."

"Yes, that's it."

Maori Kogoro nodded, "Moreover, according to my investigation, the person who has been following Mr. Morita recently is Mr. Uchida Masato."

Masato Uchida was choked by what Kogoro Mori said. He then saw Kogoro Mori take out his mobile phone and look at his investigation records on it. He opened and closed his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to argue.

Suddenly, he saw Toru Amuro standing not far away. Looking at this man, whom he thought was the new "gigolo" kept by the master's family recently, Uchida Masato, who thought that his handsomeness was only slightly inferior to this "gigolo", felt a little more resentful towards the master's family.

Because of this extra resentment, or perhaps because he felt deep down in his heart that his master would be a person who "gets bored with the old and loves the new", and believed that he would definitely be defeated by this "pretty boy" named Amuro, he did not intend to cover up for his master.

"Yes, I did follow Kosuke Morita here, but I didn't do anything else to him besides following him."

Uchida Masato looked at the unhappy Morita Kosuke in front of him, with a hint of subtle provocation in his eyes, "Chisato said that as long as she finds evidence of your cheating, she can kick you out of the Morita family. I am here to get evidence of your cheating."

Oh, standing by with her arms crossed, Akikawa Sarina exclaimed in her heart. Knowing that the couple had cheated, her disgust for Morita Kosuke decreased a lot at this moment, and she became a bystander.

Amuro Toru, who had been paying some attention to Akikawa Sarina, noticed her look, the familiar look of watching the fun. He just thought Sarina was cute, and at the same time, he moved aside a little bit to make it easier for Sarina to watch the fun.

"Heh... Qianli, you're calling me so intimately."

That’s right, it’s really an intimate call! Akikawa Sarina nodded frantically in her heart.

Hearing what Uchida Masato said, Morita Kosuke's face became even uglier, "She herself is not clean, and she even asked someone to find evidence against me... My guess turned out to be right... Fortunately, I entrusted Mr. Mori..."

Seeing the two people about to quarrel over these things, even Yokomizo Shigego felt a little overwhelmed. Those of them who were on the scene were most afraid of encountering this kind of messy interpersonal relationships.

Yokomizo Shigego coughed lightly, drawing the attention of the two people who were about to quarrel back to himself, "You two calm down first."

He looked at Uchida Masato, "Mr. Uchida Masato, do you have anything else to add about your alibi?"

Uchida Masato shook his head. "No, I was in the room after 11 o'clock last night. Although I can't find anyone to prove the time later, I ordered the hotel's midnight snack delivery around 12 o'clock. The hotel staff should know about it. After that, I drank and watched the live tennis match in the room. After that, I fell asleep until you knocked on the door."

Then he briefly recounted the key points and results of yesterday's game that he remembered.

But his words cannot be completely regarded as a credible alibi. After all, they have handled so many cases, and the detectives present and Shigeo Yokomizo all know that it is possible to falsify the time of an alibi for something like a live broadcast of a game, especially Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa. They have encountered this kind of alibi case more than once before.

Shigeo Yokomizo just nodded at what Masato Uchida said, and quickly wrote down the key information points in his police manual. After he finished writing, he looked at Kosuke Morita, whose emotions had calmed down.

"Mr. Morita, it's your turn now. Please tell me in detail your whereabouts from 8 o'clock last night until we came to find you this morning."

Kosuke Morita replied, "My schedule was very simple. I went back to my room after dinner yesterday. I had a business appointment, so after nine o'clock I took Shang Yao out to meet someone at a nearby club. We didn't return to the hotel until about eleven-thirty. After returning to the hotel, I rested in my room until you, officers, knocked on my door this morning."

Seeing that the other party was trying to distance himself from the deceased Kamiya Saki, Yokomizo Shigego asked, "Mr. Morita, do you know when Ms. Kamiya left the house after returning to her room?"

"do not know."

Morita Kosuke shook his head. "The relationship between me and Shang Yao is really not what you think. Besides, we live in different rooms. I really don't know when she went out again."

Yokomizo Shigego just nodded his head without any other reaction. He made a few notes in the manual and then asked, "Mr. Morita, did you drink alcohol while discussing business at the club?"

"Drank some."

Kosuke Morita nodded, "How can we discuss business in a place like that without drinking some wine?"

"Did you drink a lot?"

"Not too much, at least not to the extent that Shangyao and I usually get drunk."

Kosuke Morita is lying. Akikawa Sarina, who was watching the show, made a judgment in her heart that Kosuke Morita must have known that Saki Kamiya went out again after returning to the hotel room.

She is not as good as Toru Amuro and Kogoro Mori in reasoning, but she has learned a lot from Vermouth and has her own way of judging in this regard, so she can be sure that Kosuke Morita lied just now.

Thinking of this, Akikawa Sarina's gaze fell on Amuro Toru. After receiving a puzzled look from the other party, she pursed her lips and retracted her gaze.

He must have his own reasons for not solving the case, so she should not interfere too much.

Then again, who exactly is this Kamiya Saki working for in the organization?
