Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 245 Parallel lines of light and darkness 7

Akikawa Sarana lowered her eyes, and she suddenly felt that her whole world had become quiet. Even the system that had been making a lot of noise beside her quietly locked itself in a small dark room after Toru Amuro finished speaking, and no longer disturbed the two of them.

Amuro Toru did not continue to speak, he just looked at his girlfriend in silence. The only sound in the entire car was the flashing screen of Akikawa Sarina's phone.

After a long while, Akikawa Sarana finally said the first sentence, "You really are..."

However, she could only say the beginning of this sentence and could not continue. A tear fell on the back of the hands of Toru Amuro and Sarina Akikawa that were clasped together.

Toru Amuro was startled and quickly took a handkerchief to wipe his girlfriend's tears.

"You are so unfair." Akikawa Sarina looked up at Amuro Toru. There were still tears in her eyes, but a smile on her face.

Her tearful smile directly broke the last line of defense in Amuro Toru's heart, "Sorry, Sarina."

He apologized while raising his hand to gently wipe the tears from his girlfriend's cheek.

Akikawa Sarana let him wipe her tears, staring at him intently, "Why are you apologizing?"

Amuro Toru knew that he could no longer hide what he had just said from the person in front of him, so he replied honestly: "I explored your secret again when you didn't know."

"What have you found out?" Akikawa Sarana was still staring at Amuro Toru.

"blank."

Amuro Toru whispered again: "Even the things that could be found before are the same. Except for the normal personal information, everything else has become blank."

Akikawa Sarana asked again, "Why are you checking on me again?"

She thought for a moment and added, "This question is very important. Please think about it before answering me."

But Toru Amuro didn't need to think about this question at all. He was not investigating his girlfriend's past for the purpose of obtaining intelligence from the organization. "Because I noticed that something is wrong with your body, Sarina... Are you becoming insensitive to pain?"

Akikawa Sarana was stunned. She thought that he would restart the investigation on her for many reasons, including his concern for her health, but she didn't expect that he would notice this.

"You...when did you find out?"

"Not long ago, you were injected with truth serum and hallucinogens. After the two drugs wore off, you would have a severe pain reaction. Your reaction at that time was somewhat different from your previous physical condition.

Also, at home, you hit yourself once, and the wound was bruised, but you didn’t react at all…”

"I thought I hid it well." Akikawa Sarana muttered.

"So it's true..."

When Toru Amuro heard her mumbling, he stopped his analysis. His voice was trembling. "What is the side effect of this? Is it the side effect of your original medicine or the effect of the capsule you are taking now?"

Or was it really a human experiment program of aliens? Amuro Toru suddenly wondered if he was crazy, for he could deviate to such an angle in such a situation.

"What are you thinking about!"

Akikawa Sarana held his hand in return, "It's okay! Think positively!"

"Ah?" Toru Amuro was unable to react for a moment and was a little dazed.

"I didn't dare let you see it because I was afraid you would think too much."

Akikawa Sarana looked at her boyfriend's stunned expression and found it adorable. "Well, just treat it as if I took some painkillers that don't hurt my body. Besides, my current state is obviously the state of a normal person facing pain. It was abnormal for me to not be able to bear even the slightest pain before!"

“Eh? Is… is that so?”

Toru Amuro was still a little dazed after imagining all the tragic situations of his girlfriend, but he did not miss the point of his girlfriend's words, what does it mean to treat it as...

What does "take it as it is..." mean?

Before Amuro Toru could ask the question, Akikawa Sarana let go of his hand and pressed her index finger on his lips, stopping him from saying the next word.

She just realized something. If Zero could notice the changes in her pain perception, could he also notice other things? She was always more relaxed in front of him, and Tongzi would occasionally scare her suddenly, so did Zero notice something else?

However, no matter whether he discovered it or not, or what he discovered, he couldn't say anything more now. Although Tongzi entered the small dark room, she could come out at any time in this situation. Before she was sure whether the existence of the system could be known to outsiders, she couldn't gamble.

"Rum should have replied to my email. I'll see what else he has to say."

Akikawa Sarana changed the subject abruptly.

Toru Amuro's eyes darkened. No, there was something wrong with Sarina's behavior!

Could it be that...it is really some unknowable existence?

But he also understood his girlfriend's hint, asking him not to continue exploring...

Seeing Rum replying to her that she didn't need to worry about the follow-up emails, Akikawa Sarina handed the phone to Amuro Toru and said, "We'll just throw it away after we use it."

Amuro Toru also quickly read the contents of the email and chuckled, "This is perfect. The whole process has nothing to do with the two of us."

"Too."

Akikawa Sarina replied with an "OK" and put away her phone. "Let's not take up a bed in the hospital. If Xiaolan and Mr. Maori ask about it later, just tell them that I've been transferred to the sanatorium in Karuizawa. Shall we meet up with Morobushi now?"

Amuro Toru naturally had no objection. He was about to start the car, "Okay."

After the car drove away for a distance, Akikawa Sarana glanced at the system still in the small dark room and said softly, "When I have time later, I will tell you the story of Limu."

Her tone did not have the sadness and sorrow that had always filled her voice in the past, but was replaced by ease and relief.

Amuro Toru's expression relaxed slightly, his eyes brightened a little, and his tone was also gentle and soft, "Okay."

------

After successfully catching the criminal, Conan, who was standing next to the police car, glanced at Rum who was talking to his uncle a little further away, and then he turned sideways and pulled the hem of the suit of Zhufu Takaaki who was beside him.

Zhu Fu Gao Ming looked down at Conan, and seeing that he looked like he was about to whisper something, he bent down slightly and whispered, "Conan-kun, what's the matter?"

Conan covered his face with his hands and lowered his voice, "Does Officer Moriobushi have a brother?"

Hearing him ask this, Zhu Fu Gao Ming's smile faded a little, "Why do you ask that, Conan-kun?"

"I have worked with a gentleman who has eyes very similar to yours, Officer Morobushi, several times before..." He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "Mr.", "So I am a little curious."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming stood up straight, his expression did not change much, as if he had just heard something new, "Conan-kun made a wrong deduction this time, I don't have any other brothers, the gentleman you mentioned should just be a coincidence."

Conan didn't find it strange to hear his answer. He just blinked and said, "So it was just a coincidence. Sorry, Officer Morobushi."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming just smiled and shook his head at Conan, "It's okay, there's no need to apologize for this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Conan scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and said in a baby voice: "Yes, yes, you must apologize."

Originally, he wanted to remind Officer Morifu to pay attention to Rum, but looking at Officer Morifu's current state, he felt that another Officer Morifu must have reminded him, so the smart officer in front of him would directly deny that he had a brother.

Hearing the voice of Mao Lilan calling him not far away, Conan politely said goodbye to Zhu Fu Gao Ming, "Officer Zhu Fu, Xiao Lan is calling me, so I'll take my leave now. Goodbye."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming also nodded at him with a smile, "Well, goodbye, Conan-kun."

"Sister Xiaolan, are we going to visit Sister Akikawa?" Conan ran to Ran Mouri and asked childishly.

Of course he knew that now was not the time to visit people, but Conan was an elementary school student, and as a child he naturally wanted to visit his friends first.

Maori Kogoro, who happened to be walking over with Wakita Kensuke, heard Conan's words and rolled his eyes at him, "Kid, who would go to visit a patient so late at night? If you want to go, you should wait until tomorrow morning."

In response to the two's questions, Mao Lilan replied: "I just called Mr. Amuro, and he said that Sister Akikawa has woken up and told us not to visit. He will send Sister Akikawa directly to the nursing home in Karuizawa. If we want to visit, we can only wait until the next holiday."

Maori Kogoro frowned slightly, and there was a hint of worry about the person he knew. "Has it come to the point where he needs to stay in a nursing home?"

Mao Lilan nodded, her tone full of worry, "That's what Mr. Amuro said."

Wakita Kensuke, who was standing by, looked embarrassed, but still asked curiously, "Actually, I wanted to ask before, is Miss Akikawa familiar to everyone?"

"I've encountered this in several previous cases."

Conan answered in a baby voice before Maori Kogoro and Maori Ran: "It's just that Sister Akikawa seems to be unlucky. She has been treated as the murderer in several murder cases. Fortunately, her uncle helped her clear the suspicion."

Mao Lilan blushed for a moment when she heard Conan's words. She thought of the first time she met Akikawa Sarina, her father seemed to be the only one who thought that Akikawa sister was the murderer, and the following few times...

But here, Maori Kogoro was already being very immodestly polite, "Hahahaha, it's just a coincidence, hahahahaha."

"As expected of Mr. Maori, you are really amazing!" Wakita Kensuke praised Maori Kogoro and casually asked, "Then Amuro must have met Ms. Akikawa when he was studying with Mr. Maori."

When Conan heard his question, he felt a chill on his back. When he was thinking about how to answer, Mouri Kogoro spoke.

"That boy Amuro fell in love with Miss Akikawa at first sight."

Because it was his apprentice's privacy, Maori Kogoro did not mention the details of the past, and only roughly summarized: "When he first met Miss Akikawa, Amuro saved Miss Akikawa, and then he became interested in her."

"A hero saves a beauty." Wakita Kanenori replied with a smile.

Perhaps he saw that Kogoro Mouri didn't want to talk about other people's private affairs, so he didn't ask any further and started talking to Kogoro Mouri about today's case.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. His uncle's answer was truly brilliant.

From an outsider's perspective, Mr. Amuro fell in love with Miss Akikawa at first sight, but from the perspective of the organizers, especially Rum, it was during that mission that Mr. Amuro noticed something unusual about Miss Akikawa. Later, after investigating the intelligence, he learned that Miss Akikawa was Limu. As an intelligence master, Bourbon naturally wanted to use her.

Ran Mouri looked down at Conan, who seemed happy again. She was a little confused, but then she thought that Conan was probably happy for both Mr. Amuro and Sister Akikawa.

On the police car side, after Kogoro Mouri and his group left, only Morobushi Takaaki and Yamato Gansuke who had just walked out of the car were left.

Yamato Gansuke turned his head to look at his friend and asked in a low voice: "Gao Ming, I remember that you have a younger brother in Tokyo. The guy just now should be talking about your brother, right? With your performance, could it be that your brother..."

He had already sensed something was wrong from his friend's concealment of the truth from Conan, so the voice he spoke at this time was only known to the two of them.

Zhu Fu Gaoming put away the smile on his face and chose to remain silent in the face of his friend's questions.

"I see."

Yamato Gansuke, who had no idea that his friend had just met his brother in the past two days, had a serious expression on his face. He raised his hand and patted Zhufu Gaoming's shoulder, "No matter what, I'm glad you're safe."

He had already confirmed his guess from his friend's silence, so he stopped asking and could only comfort his friend in this implicit way.

Zhu Fu Gao Ming also nodded. He looked in the direction where Mao Li Kogoro and his group had already left. "Yes, as long as they are safe."

His younger brother, Morobushi Kagemitsu, suddenly quit his police job and disappeared without a trace. As soon as he lost contact with Kagemitsu, he had some guesses about his whereabouts. After that, he deliberately did not mention his younger brother to anyone, and secretly hid all the things related to Kagemitsu in the old house in Nagano.

Ganzhu is different. They grew up together, so Ganzhu is naturally very clear about his family environment. But Ganzhu also knows the importance of the matter. He will not reveal Jingguang's existence, nor will he tell anyone about it.

There is only one thing that Zhufu Gaoming found a little strange. Why did Conan deliberately mention Jingguang in front of him? Could it be that Conan also had some entanglement with the organization where Jingguang had been undercover?
