Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

The others immediately understood what was going on, and their faces changed. Kokubo and Nishikawa leaned against each other in fear.

In order to avoid the cold wind in the room, Akikawa Sarina stood against the wall farther away from the door, and her eyes met with Ochi Eri who had just heard the noise and came over.

Neither of them looked away first. After staring at each other for a few seconds, Ochi Eri gave Akikawa Sarana a faint smile, "How is Miss Akikawa's cold? Do you need me to take a look at you again?"

Facing her seemingly gentle smile, Akikawa Sarana's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and then she said coldly: "No, thank you."

She was wearing a mask and no one else could see her facial expressions.

"Well, if you feel your cold is getting worse, Ms. Akikawa, you should come see me. It's best not to delay. After all, your physical condition..."

Ochi Eri paused deliberately, then continued: "You look a little weak. A common cold is nothing to us, but it's still very serious for you."

Akikawa Sarana didn't have any special reaction to her words, "Thanks for the reminder."

Everyone heard the conversation between the two people. Conan resisted the urge to enter the crime scene and quietly observed the two people.

After hearing Eri Ochi's last words, which seemed to be concerned but actually sounded like a threat to those who knew the inside story, Conan pursed his lips slightly.

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha looked at Ochi Eri and then at Akikawa Sarina, whose expression was invisible, "Akira..."

Conan's babyish voice interrupted what Mao Lilan was about to say, "It's so cold here, are you cold, Xiaolan?"

Mao Lilan was certainly not cold. She and Toyama Kazuha came here fully dressed. She squatted down and touched Conan's face. "It's so cold, Conan, I'll take you back to the room to put on more clothes. Kazuha..."

Mao Lilan turned her head to look at Toyama Kazuha, who made an "OK" gesture to Mao Lilan and said, "Leave this to me, Xiaolan."

"Sister Akikawa, do you want to go back together and put on some more clothes?" Ran Mouri looked at Sarina Akikawa again.

Although Mao Lilan felt that Akikawa Sarana, who was also dressed neatly, did not need to go back to put on more clothes, the atmosphere between Ochi Eri and Akikawa Sarana just now made her feel that something was not right, so she asked this question.

Whether I need to go back or not, at least I can interrupt the atmosphere between these two people.

Akikawa Sarina glanced at Ochi Eri, and then turned to look at Mao Li Ran, "I don't need it, Xiaolan, you take Conan to change clothes first."

She glanced at the other people who were anxious to see what was happening, so they just hurriedly put on a coat over their pajamas and came out.

She walked a few steps toward the door of the room, then looked inside. Seeing the people inside, she raised her voice, "Mr. Maori, can we let everyone go back and put on some clothes?"

Maori Kogoro heard the voice and looked back at the people at the door, "Okay, please help Miss Akikawa."

After hearing Kogoro Mouri's answer, everyone wrapped themselves up and went back to their rooms to change without Akikawa Sarana saying anything.

After asking Kogoro Mori, Butler Kitajima took Kokubo and Nishikawa to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone.

Soon, only Akikawa Sarina, Toyama Kazuha and Ochi Eri were left at the door of Mika Morimoto's room.

------

On the way back to the room, after separating from Sanyuutei Tree, Conan looked at Mao Lilan, who was obviously worried, and asked in a baby voice, "Sister Xiaolan, you look like you have something on your mind. Can you tell me?"

Ran Mouri looked down at Conan who was concerned about her. She thought of something that she had just remembered recently. She wanted to say something... but in the end she shook her head at Conan.

"Is Conan scared?" Mao Lilan finally found another topic to talk to Conan.

When Conan heard her ask himself this, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes. Is Xiaolan afraid?

He originally wanted to say that he was not afraid, but then he thought of something and changed his words.

"I am a little bit scared." Conan continued to speak in a baby voice, even with a little tremor in his voice.

But before Mao Lilan could comfort him, he raised his smiling face and looked at her, "But with Sister Xiaolan here, I don't seem to be so scared anymore."

Conan said as he made a karate start pose, "If a bad guy comes looking for us, Xiaolan will definitely knock him down like this, right?"

Looking at Conan who was deliberately making a fool of himself, the anger between Mouri Ran's brows, which was originally a little worried, gradually eased a little.

The two had already reached the end of the room where Conan and Hattori Heiji lived. Mao Lilan reached out and gently touched Conan's forehead affectionately, "Don't worry, I will protect you, Conan-kun."

To be honest, Mao Lilan thought she knew Conan quite well, and she could still tell whether he was really scared or just pretending to be scared.

But seeing that Conan had taken the trouble to comfort her, she decided not to expose him. Feeling warm in her heart, Mao Lilan decided to put her previous entanglement aside for the time being, took the key from Conan and opened the door.

Before she went in, she took a look at the room opposite that belonged to Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru. Anyway, she had no way to contact the outside world now, so she would ask Shinichi after she returned. She didn't know if Shinichi still remembered what happened that year.

One more thing...In the room, Mao Lilan looked at Conan who was putting on thick clothes obediently with his back to her, "Conan, are you feeling unwell?"

Conan paused as he buttoned his shirt. He adjusted his facial expression and turned to look at Mao Lilan in pretended confusion. "Why do you ask that, Xiaolan?"

Mao Lilan's face was solemn. "Whenever a case happened, you would have already started to investigate secretly with your father, or with Hattori, but you haven't said much since yesterday. Are you feeling unwell?"

Although to outsiders Conan is still the little boy who likes to ask questions at the crime scene, to people who are close to him, Conan's silence is obvious.

Conan had already thought about the answer to this question in advance. He buttoned his shirt and scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He leaned in front of Mao Lilan and whispered: "Sister Xiaolan, please don't tell anyone. This is a secret between me and Sister Akikawa."

"The secret with Sister Akikawa?" Mao Lilan slightly widened her eyes, then nodded, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

After seeing Mao Lilan nod, Conan continued: "I played a game with Sister Akikawa before, and I lost, so I must abide by the agreement between me and Sister Akikawa."

This was something that Akikawa Sarina brought up on their own initiative on the way back from outside yesterday. If Xiaolan and the others asked, this would be the answer.

He did not explain in detail what the agreement between him and Akikawa Sarina was, leaving it to Mouri Ran to figure it out herself.

"So that's how it is." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought something had happened."

She always felt that everyone had become strange, including her father, but she couldn't tell exactly what was strange about them.

Especially just now... The conversation between Ms. Ochi and Ms. Akikawa was obviously normal, but she always felt that there was an indescribable undercurrent between the two of them.

Also, last night, she could clearly find that Sister Akikawa and Mr. Amuro gave her a very dangerous feeling, but later they became very normal, especially Mr. Amuro who returned after sending Sister Akikawa back. He was no different from usual in Boroli...

Mao Lilan thought of something that suddenly occurred to her before she went to bed last night. She couldn't help it. Conan usually communicated a lot with Shinichi. Maybe Conan...

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan unconsciously lowered her voice, "Conan, I also want to ask you something, you must keep it a secret for me, okay? I originally wanted to ask Shinichi, but now I can't contact him..."

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaolan, I will definitely keep it a secret for you." Even though they were the only two people in the room, Conan childishly covered his face with his hands and replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, looked at Conan's blue eyes behind his glasses and said, "Conan, what kind of person would change his name and become completely different from before and appear next to others?"

"Huh?" Conan was stunned for a moment. When he heard what Mouri Ran said, a lot of people popped up in his head in an instant. It seemed that there really were a lot of people around him who changed their names.

But his distraction was only for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Conan, who didn't know why Mao Lilan suddenly asked this, blinked his eyes. He replied like a child who didn't understand anything: "Is there some secret?"

His voice was still at a volume that only the two of them could hear, and his speech speed was also very slow. "Just like some of the cases we encountered before, those people changed their names for a secret... Did Sister Xiaolan discover something?"

The nice way to put it is that it is a secret, but all the people they met before changed their names just for revenge.

Mao Lilan certainly understands this, but the ones she encountered before were all cases, and the purpose of those people was revenge. This time is different...

Or maybe the person she met that year had a different identity.

"What if that person used to be a policeman?" Mouri Ran lowered her voice a lot, and even Conan almost didn't hear clearly what she said.

Conan froze when he heard what she said. His fingers curled up unconsciously. He pretended not to have heard clearly, "What did Sister Xiaolan just say?"

Mao Lilan came back to her senses instantly. Looking at Conan's confused expression, she realized what she had just said and shook her head quickly, "No, I think what you said makes sense, Conan."

She is not a person who knows nothing. Her father used to be a criminal policeman, so she understands some things very well.

But she was confused about whether she had recognized the wrong person. After all, she was still young at that time and her memory was a little fuzzy...

The most important thing is that Officer Hagiwara didn't seem to have a very good relationship with him at the time...

And the frightening aura they both had last night...

Maybe she recognized the wrong person...

Realizing what she had said to Conan impulsively, Mao Lilan quickly changed the subject, "Conan, do you want to wear gloves?"

Fortunately, Conan didn't hear what she said clearly just now, and Mao Lilan felt a little relieved.

Conan realized that she was trying to change the subject, so he smiled at Mao Lilan and said childishly, "No need, Xiaolan, this is already warm enough."

Mao Lilan stood up and said, "Let's go back then. Dad may need our help."

"hai~" Conan responded in a baby voice.

But the moment he lowered his head, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes. What Xiaolan wanted to say just now was... Mr. Amuro, right?

He thought of what Xiaolan said at the beginning, that is, Xiaolan wanted to ask Kudo Shinichi this question at first...

Thinking of this, Conan felt a little relieved. From Xiaolan's reaction, he could tell that she knew that she shouldn't ask or say anything about this matter casually.

However, he had to find an opportunity to talk about this with Mr. Amuro. He really didn't expect that Xiaolan would suddenly remember this. So many years have passed, how could Xiaolan suddenly remember it?

Although he used the name "Zero" to deceive Mr. Amuro because he thought of his childhood.

At the door of Mika Morimoto's room, after Eri Ochi went in to assist in the preliminary examination of the body, Kazuha Toyama quietly approached Sarina Akikawa.

She looked around and asked quietly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister Qiuchuan, is there something wrong with that person? You don't seem to like her very much?"

Just now she was a little closer and could see Akikawa Sarina's resistance to Ochi Eri.

Akikawa Sarina shook her head at Toyama Kazuha, "No, it's because I have never liked seeing doctors since I was a child."

"He Ye, stay away from me. Be careful not to catch a cold from me." She took a step back and coughed a few times. "I have always been in the hospital because of my poor health since I was a child. So I don't like seeing doctors or going to the hospital."

Speaking of this, Akikawa Sarana pretended to be a little shy, "Isn't it a little too childish to still be like this at this age?"

Yuanshan Heye relaxed a little after hearing that. She smiled and waved her hands, "Don't be childish. It's very common for Sister Qiuchuan to be like this. Many people don't like to go to the hospital or see a doctor."

At this moment, Toru Amuro walked out of the room. Seeing him come out, Akikawa Sarina and Toyama Kazuha also stopped communicating.

Yuanshan Heye very tactfully walked a few steps to the side so as not to disturb their conversation.
