Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 378: Running Towards Dusk 25

At this time, several people also rushed out from the restaurant quickly. They were Hattori Heiji, Mori Kogoro, and the mystery enthusiast Nomura Kento. Following behind them were Toyama Kazuha and their gaming teammates.

Except for the detectives who had already rushed upstairs, the rest of the people looked at each other in confusion, and then ran upstairs as quickly as the detectives.

The only exceptions were Akikawa Sarina and her companions, Mori Ran and Toyama Kazuha. She did not run because of her poor health and could not do strenuous exercise.

Seeing that so many people had already passed by, Mouri Ran decided to accompany Akikawa Sarina, whose face suddenly turned pale. Toyama Kazuha had the same reason, and she had another one.

She came back earlier than everyone else and while drinking the warming soup she heard some legends about ghosts that she was quite afraid of. So she was a little scared and didn't dare to go to the place where the screaming happened.

The main reason is that they are too familiar with this voice.

The reason why Akikawa Sarina turned pale was that she turned on the system monitoring view as soon as she heard the scream. She saw Mika Nishikawa sitting on the floor in a room on the east side of the fourth floor with the door opened, staring at the direction of the bathroom with a look of horror on her face.

In the bathtub in the bathroom was a pool of blood and Seiji Yokoyama was dead in the bathtub with a grim face.

The first two people to arrive at the east side of the fourth floor were Toru Amuro and Conan. They walked straight past Mika Nishikawa who was sitting on the ground and entered the bathroom. Then they began to check the scene and Seiji Yokoyama's condition one by one and the other tacitly.

Toru Amuro reached out his hand to Seiji Yokoyama's neck and confirmed that he was dead. He raised his hand to look at the time on his watch and silently noted it in his mind. The body of the deceased was found at 9:45 in the evening.

Conan went to the bathtub and sniffed, smelling a faint fragrance, "It's not blood, it should be some kind of bath ball."

He sniffed again, and there seemed to be another smell besides the vomit and the fragrance, but because the smell in the bathroom was too messy, all the smells were mixed together, and he couldn't tell what the smell was for a while.

Toru Amuro also came to his own conclusion, "Judging from the current state of the deceased, the time of death is no more than one hour."

At this time, the two people heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, looked at each other, and heard that there were more than two people shouting.

After taking a look at the dead body lying naked in the bathtub, Amuro Toru said loudly: "Girls, don't come in."

Hearing Toru Amuro's voice, the women following Kogoro Mori subconsciously stopped their steps. They looked at each other, and in confusion saw Toru Amuro walking out.

He simply explained, "Mr. Yokoyama has no clothes on."

Then he looked at the butler Kitajima, "Mr. Kitajima, please call the police. Mr. Yokoyama has been confirmed dead."

Butler Kitajima nodded seriously and walked downstairs quickly. Sanyou Teiju beside him said, "Don't bother. We can just use our cell phones to call the police."

Hearing his words, the butler Bei Dao also stopped temporarily.

He took out his cell phone and said, "Why is there no signal on my cell phone?"

After hearing what he said, everyone else took out their cell phones and also found that their cell phones had no signal.

“It’s also common to have poor signal in the mountains.”

Maori Kogoro said, "Anyway, Mr. Kitajima, you should call the police first."

While waiting for the housekeeper to call the police, the detectives had already entered the scene. Nishikawa, who had regained his composure, and Kokubo, who arrived later, temporarily blocked other non-detectives from entering the scene under the instructions of Kogoro Mori.

The three people who were going upstairs happened to meet the butler Bei Dao who was returning quickly. The three people looked puzzled, "Mr. Bei Dao, what happened?"

Kitajima's face was solemn. "Mr. Amuro said that Mr. Yokoyama has been confirmed dead. I'm going downstairs to call the police."

Mao Lilan glanced at Akikawa Sarana, and after seeing her nod, she said, "I'll go with you."

Yuanshan Heye hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Then I will accompany Miss Akikawa."

As the daughter of a policeman, she understood that after a case occurred, everyone should try not to act alone.

Akikawa Sarina naturally had no objection. Looking at the two people leaving, Akikawa Sarina sighed in her heart, "Ms. Toyama, can you check if your phone has no signal?"

Although somewhat puzzled, Yuanshan Heye still took out his cell phone and took a look. "Eh, there really is no signal. It was working before."

As expected, Akikawa Sarina glanced at the inner pocket of her coat, where her cell phone was. Her cell phone was connected to a special satellite signal, so unless someone specifically targeted her, her cell phone would normally always have a signal.

To be on the safe side, she decided to maintain the same state as everyone else and to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

Knowing that someone had died, the two of them quickened their pace a little. When they reached the fourth floor, they saw a group of people blocked outside the door of a room from afar, with different expressions on their faces.

Everyone just turned around to look at the two people who arrived last, and when they saw that it was Akikawa Sarina, who looked frail, and Toyama Kazuha, who seemed to be accompanying her, they retracted their gazes.

Akikawa Sarina, who was standing at the back of the group, turned to look at Toyama Kazuha, who seemed a little curious but also a little scared. "Ms. Toyama, why do you look a little scared?"

Toyama Heye glanced inside the room. Because of the angle of view, she didn't see the body, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she whispered to Akikawa Sarina, "Ms. Akikawa is the same as Xiaolan. Just call me Heye."

Akikawa Sarina nodded when she heard this, "What is Kazuha afraid of?"

Toyama Kazuha glanced at the room unhappily, as if she wanted to glare at her childhood friend Hattori Heiji through the wall. Then she said with a slightly complaining tone towards Hattori Heiji: "It's all Heiji's fault. He insisted on asking about the legend of Akagi Mountain. They just told a lot of scary stories downstairs, so I..."

Speaking of this, Yuanshan Heye's face turned slightly red. After all, they had just met, and she was known as a sister with a particularly good personality by her good friends. Now that she knew she was afraid of these things, she felt a little embarrassed.

"So that's it."

Akikawa Sarina had learned this from Tomoko before, so she had made it clear in front of the children. She said to Toyama Kazuha, who was still shy, "If you're scared, just stand here with me. You don't have to muster up the courage to see what's happening over there."
