Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 9: Black Humor Under the Rippling Water 7

Akikawa Sarana glanced at the completion time of the first mission. Seven years ago... It was just a few months after she broke up with Furuya Rei...

According to the time when this task was completed, it was exactly two or three days before she left Japan to study for a master's degree in the United States... Akikawa Sarana sighed in her heart. After all, it happened seven years ago, and now she can't remember it at all. After all, she vaguely remembered that she seemed to have encountered several cases in those days, and she didn't know which one of Hagiwara's cases was related to.

As for the third case, Akikawa Sarana is even more confused. She must have been in the United States when Matsuda completed her mission. What exactly happened?

Although she wanted to study these tasks, the time was not right now, and Akikawa Sarana could only suppress her thoughts for the time being.

As for the system, it was still muttering to itself that its host was able to complete the four tasks of the main storyline under such circumstances.

Akikawa Sarina looked up at the detectives who seemed to have found some evidence in Morita Kosuke's room. After Morita Kosuke and Uchida Masato entered the room, she asked, "System, you just said 'not only is the identity wrong', but you also said 'even...' What else is wrong?"

After hearing the host's question, the system felt that its own program was garbled for a moment. It really didn't expect that the host actually noticed its mumbling just now and grasped the key points in it.

Forget it, there is a saying in human beings, if it is a blessing, it is not a disaster, but if it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. It seems that the host will find out about this situation sooner or later, so it might as well confess now. If it confesses honestly now, maybe the host will not complain to the main system because of its honesty. And even if the host complains about it, it deserves it, after all, the current situation is caused by its lack of business skills.

"Host......"

Although the system had intended to tell the truth, it was a novice and had made mistakes, so it was a little stuttering at the moment.

"The original situation should have been like this. You should have been born into a police family. According to your original date of birth, you should be... 24 years old this year, not 28 years old as you are now."

Akikawa Sarana felt a little tired of standing. She looked around and felt that the detectives and police officers in the room would have to wait a while before they would have time to pay attention to her. There was no emotion in her eyes. "So I was born four years earlier? Why did this happen?"

"When I was traveling through time and space with your soul, I accidentally bumped into the laws of this world, and then accidentally got sucked into the time and space countercurrent. When we came out of the time and space countercurrent, my energy was basically exhausted. I didn't have enough energy to confirm the time again. I only sent your soul over after confirming that the coordinates were correct."

The system's voice became smaller and smaller. "After that, my energy was exhausted and I fell into a dormant state. I should have woken up seven years ago, but I didn't expect that my program code would have problems in the time-space reversal, so the dormant time was forced to increase. I was not awakened until just now when you, the host, came into contact with the protagonist of this world."

There were many key points in the system's words. After listening to them, Akikawa Sarana didn't know what to say for a moment, nor did she know how to describe her feelings at the moment.

Was it anger? resentment? or sadness? She seemed to have all these emotions and yet she didn't.

And these emotions seemed to have been exhausted in the years between the ages of 6 and 12, when she reacted to everything in this way. She hated everything in the world equally, but restrained herself because of the education she had received and the fact that she was not actually a real child.

She desperately relied on her own efforts to prevent herself from falling into an irreversible abyss. Now the system told her that everything was caused by an accident? Everything was caused by its operating error? She could have avoided going through that hellish past...

Akikawa Sarina was silent for a long time, until Uchida Masato in Morita Kosuke's room suddenly shouted: "I just need to get evidence of your cheating. What good will it do me to kill you or kill this woman Haruka Saki? Even if it's this little white face named Amuro that Chisato has just raised, I just want him to be misunderstood by Chisato as having another woman. I will never do such a thing as killing someone!"

Akikawa Sarana, whose thoughts were suddenly interrupted, no longer cared about the messy emotions in her head, or rather, she was forcibly diverting her attention so that she would not let this sudden so-called truth disturb the "past" that she had already let go.

Akikawa Sarana forced herself to regain her composure and, like Mouri Ran who was not far away from her, looked up into the house.

But as she looked over, she was also complaining in her heart, what did that Uchida Masato just say?

The system thought the host was asking itself, "He said Amuro Toru is a gigolo."

Did they say Amuro is a gigolo?

The voice of one person and one ruler sounded in Akikawa Sarina's heart at the same time. After hearing the host's voice, the system realized that its host was not asking it. Feeling that it had made a mistake and knowing that it was still being examined by the host, the system silently hid the complaint button on its panel back into the corner, and at the same time it reduced its presence.

Akikawa Sarina paused for a moment, then asked, "Can you block out my inner voice in this situation?"

"can."

The system adjusted the corresponding button to the panel in front of its host. "Host, here, after pressing this button, I will not be able to hear your usual voice. If you need to communicate with me, just press this button again or call me in your heart."

Akikawa Sarana did not immediately press the button the system instructed. Her thoughts were still on the earth-shattering sound of the "pretty boy" just now.

Although her face was expressionless, her eyes were odd and her voice was rhythmic, "Little white face?"

The people in the corridor originally had somewhat strange expressions on their faces, and after hearing what Akikawa Sarana said, they could not help themselves. The two policemen in the corridor turned their heads to the side and tried to suppress the upturned corners of their lips.

Calm down. We are investigating a case now. You can't laugh, otherwise you might be complained about.

Mao Lilan's face was also a little strange. She recalled the scene when she first met Mr. Amuro. She remembered that her father's classmate Mr. Banba also called Mr. Amuro "little white face". She didn't think anything of it at that time, but now Miss Akikawa repeated the three words "little white face" mentioned by Mr. Uchida again in such a strange tone...

Mao Li Ran felt that she couldn't help it anymore. Although this kind of occasion should be serious, but she... Mao Li Ran took a deep breath and raised her hand to press down the corners of her mouth that were almost raised.

The door of the hotel room was open. As Toru Amuro didn't want to get involved too much, he stood very close to the door. In addition, because he was worried, he also put some of his attention on Akikawa Sarina outside the door. Naturally, he also heard Akikawa Sarina's ups and downs in the voice of "little white face".

A hint of helpless smile flashed across his eyes, and then he looked at the people standing in the room and explained to them in a voice that Akikawa Sarina outside could hear.

"Mr. Uchida and Mr. Morita must have misunderstood. I am just a detective hired by Mrs. Morita to investigate. I am not some gigolo she keeps."

Amuro Toru emphasized the word "gigolo" in his tone, and even Edogawa Conan and Mori Kogoro, who were more familiar with him, couldn't help but look away.

Toru Amuro paused for a moment, then continued, "Mrs. Morita asked me to investigate the evidence of Mr. Morita's infidelity and whether the car accident she encountered half a month ago was related to Mr. Morita."

It has been investigated that the car accident half a month ago was indeed caused by Kosuke Morita. Toru Amuro has already kept the evidence, so he is not worried about Kosuke Morita knowing what he is investigating.

Of course, there were other reasons why he took on these two cases of Chisato Morita, but there was no need for those present to know that.

Conan Edogawa, who had been staring at Kosuke Morita, clearly saw the flash of panic on Amuro Toru's face when the other party mentioned the car accident. Seeing his expression, and having read Amuro Toru's email, Conan Edogawa, who had experienced countless cases, basically had an idea of ​​what was going on.

"what?"

Uchida Masato was suddenly confused. He looked at Amuro Toru in surprise and spoke without any confidence. He stammered, "You...you are Chisato...the detective hired by Chisato?"

Amuro Toru nodded, "That's right."

Hearing this, Uchida Masato wilted completely. Then he thought of something and looked suddenly at Amuro Toru, opening and closing his mouth as if he was hesitating whether to say something or not.

Seeing him like this, Toru Amuro didn't say anything. He had already dealt with the things that had been done to his room, so it didn't matter to him whether Masato Uchida said anything or not.

After hearing what Toru Amuro said in the room, which was deliberately loud, Akikawa Sarana no longer cared about what was happening inside. She just thought that someone was selling her body in order to complete the mission.

Akikawa Sarina turned her attention back to the system. "System, are you talking about the protagonist, Detective Mori or the little boy?"

The system replied: "It's Conan, the little boy with black-framed glasses. His name is Edogawa Conan."

Thinking that she had met this protagonist a few days ago, Akikawa Sarana asked in her heart: "Then I met him once a few days ago, why didn't you do anything at that time?"

"Maybe it's because you didn't communicate much with him at that time, but today, you are a suspect in his eyes. I got enough energy, so I activated it."

The system's explanation was very simple, and Akikawa Sarana understood its meaning in an instant. She asked again: "So, the world I live in in this life is indeed a mystery comic novel?"
