Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 383: Running Towards Dusk 30

When asked this by Toyama Kazuha, everyone else looked a little unnatural, and Nomura Kento suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing their performance, a barely perceptible light flashed across the eyes of the detectives except Kogoro Mouri.

Akikawa Sarana could see the expressions of these people more clearly through the system monitoring perspective. By analyzing their subconscious facial expressions, she instantly came to a conclusion in her mind that these seemingly complete strangers had secrets.

Ah, except Sanyutei Itsuki. His expression looks a bit naive. He should be a passerby who won the prize by chance, just like Zero, Maori Ran and Toyama Kazuha.

As for everyone else…

Akikawa Sarana used her perspective, which was left for her by her own mother, Tomoko, who was afraid that she would worry. She was currently waiting in the rest area for Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei to meet up.

Seeing that she seemed bored and had even started watching the drama, Akikawa Sarana said: [Hoho, come on, check the lottery information of these people, maybe there will be some surprises.]

Niino Natsuho instantly returned to her self-perceived elite mode, threw the tablet on which she was watching the drama aside, pretended to take out a pair of plain glasses and put them on, and then picked up the computer she was working on from the passenger seat, "Okay, give me five minutes."

Seeing her acting so funny, Akikawa Sarana couldn't help but smile in her heart, "Come on, you've worked hard, Hoho."

Although she was distracted communicating with Niino Natsuho, she did not forget Toyama Kazuha who suddenly stood up to speak for her. After looking at Amuro Toru, she let go of his arm, slowly stood up and took two steps forward.

Now it's her turn to see if she can lure that person out. She has to first confirm whether that person knows Limou or Bourbon.

Fortunately, in the eyes of most people in the organization who do not know the truth, she is a person who has accepted a secret mission and needs to maintain friendly relations with the police. Yuanshan Heye is a family member of a police officer, so naturally she is also one of the people who needs to maintain friendly relations.

Akikawa Sarina glanced at the others calmly, "He Ye, don't get angry about these things."

Hattori Heiji, who was about to speak, stopped because of the way Akikawa Sarina addressed Toyama Kazuha. He was about to get angry.

What's going on? It's only been a short while, how come the way they address each other has suddenly become so intimate!

It was this step that he was late that caused the butler Bei Dao to step out to mediate, "Please don't quarrel."

Hattori Heiji came back to his senses and looked at everyone meaningfully, "Yes, otherwise according to the legend you told in the restaurant tonight, the next person to die is the one who took the initiative to provoke the dispute."

As he said this, several people in the room visibly trembled, even Toyama Kazuha who was standing behind Akikawa Sarina.

Mao Lilan, who had not heard the story yet but knew what Toyama Kazuha was afraid of, walked to Toyama Kazuha and gently held her hand to comfort her. Because she had not heard the story yet, Mao Lilan was a little scared, but she did not tremble like usual when she hugged Toyama Kazuha.

Nomura Kento opened his mouth, but finally said, "I was just asking a reasonable question. After all, everyone was looking at the situation in the room at that time. Only Miss Akikawa walked straight to the window after hearing what Mr. Kitajima said..."

He didn't say the rest of the words because he was facing the eye attacks from Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru, which made him swallow back what he was about to say. He also took two steps back and sat back in his original position.

Faced with this little episode, the detectives had already taken in all the reactions of those people. Even Kogoro Mouri realized belatedly that something was wrong. He also glanced at the new people he had met, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

However, his intuition prevented him from being as reckless as usual. Instead, he coughed lightly, interrupting the unfriendly atmosphere in the room, and said, "Anyway, let's first confirm everyone's alibi at the time of the crime."

------

Hearing that the alibi investigation had begun, everyone present finally calmed down. Toru Amuro pulled Akikawa Sarina back a few steps and let her sit back on the sofa which was a little distance away from the others. He stood next to Akikawa Sarina.

Seeing this, Mouri Ran also pulled Toyama Kazuha, and the two of them sat next to Akikawa Sarina.

Maori Kogoro first looked at Nishikawa Mika, who was the first to discover the body, and said, "Ms. Nishikawa, please tell me the timeline before and after you discovered the body."

As the first person to discover the incident, the frightened Mika Nishikawa sat silently in the corner, while her colleague Kokubo stood by her, holding her hand to comfort her.

The two heard what Maori Kogoro said. Kokubo looked at the pale Nishikawa worriedly, "Mika."

After being frightened for a while, Nishikawa Mika was able to reorganize her words. She took a deep breath and began to speak in a trembling voice, "I went upstairs for the first time around 7:20. Mr. Kitajima asked me to see if you and Mr. Yokoyama were awake. Mr. Maori should still remember that I went to the third floor to call you first, and then went to the fourth floor to knock on Mr. Yokoyama's door."

Maori Kogoro nodded. He even glanced at the time when he was woken up. "I remember it was 7:22."

"No one answered Mr. Yokoyama's room at the time. I thought he was still asleep, so I went back downstairs and told Mr. Kitajima about it."

Butler Kitajima nodded and said, "Nishikawa will be back around 7:35. I asked her to call Mr. Yokoyama again a little later."

"Around 9:, I thought it was about time, so I went upstairs to take a look."

Nishikawa Mika clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands. "When I went upstairs this time, Mr. Yokoyama's door was open. I knocked twice on the door, but still no one answered... Then I saw red liquid flowing out of the bathroom. I thought it was blood, so I walked a few steps into the room, and then I saw Mr. Yokoyama lying in the bathroom like that."
