Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

After returning home, Akikawa Sarana stroked Haro's head and let it play by itself for a while, then went to her study in the basement of the villa. On one side of the study was a relatively large desk, and then there were three rows of bookshelves like a library, except that the shelves were not filled with books, but file boxes.

Akikawa Sarana walked to the first row of bookshelves and pulled out a file box from the far right side. When she opened the box, the files inside almost filled the entire file box.

Only the top two pages of the document are still of normal paper color, while the ones below have yellowed to varying degrees. Even if they are properly kept, it can be seen that they are documents from several years ago.

This is what Akikawa Sarana has been investigating privately ever since she first gained access to the organization. Now this file box is almost full, and if she wants to put more things in it, she has to get another file box.

Akikawa Sarana looked through the document in her hand carefully and finally found what she was looking for. The main reason was that the content of the document was not particularly important, so she did not remember everything in it at the time. In addition, some of the content was a long time ago, so even if she had a good memory, she could not be 100% sure of the content.

This investigation report is a report data from 38 years ago in an organization that she investigated. Due to the long time, this yellowed paper has become very fragile. Now Akikawa Sarana has put a layer of plastic shell on the outside to protect the paper. There is not much content on the paper, only a few sentences, but more data.

He muted his system and accompanied his host to look at the documents in her hand.

Akikawa Sarana put down the document she had just finished reading, and only then did she notice that the photo that was sandwiched between the documents had accidentally slipped out of the box and fallen to the ground.

Akikawa Sarana bent down and picked up the photo from the ground, turned it over and gently wiped off the dust that was not on it. The front of the photo was a young woman with black hair, blue eyes and a cold and distant smile.

When she was a child, Akikawa Sarina looked a bit like her, but when she grew up, her hair and eye color changed, and her face no longer looked like this woman. The only similarity between the mother and daughter was the cold smile that Akikawa Sarina would occasionally show on her face, which was exactly the same as the woman in the photo.

[I used to wonder...the organization treated her like this, why was she still so loyal to the organization.]

【Host......】

The system was a little worried about its host. Its host had never been an emotionally indifferent person. On the contrary, her emotions were extremely rich, and her love and hate were very obvious. Even though the system did not fully understand human emotions, it could see that its host's feelings for her biological parents were more complicated than her feelings for Vermouth.

Akikawa Sarana did not respond to the system as usual, she just continued to look at the photo in her hand in silence.

The thing just now was the "medical record" left by her mother in this life in the laboratory. She saw it in the laboratory when she and Vermouth went to a small island that was not on the radar map when she was a child.

She took the "medical record" because she saw the code name Limu on it. At that time, she already knew the meaning of these wine names, and she also knew that Limu was the code name of her mother in this life, so she quietly took the "medical record" from the abandoned files of the laboratory.

Later, when she was frightened and regretted taking the documents impulsively, Vermouth gave her this photo, which was a photo of her mother when she was about 20 years old.

Vermouth thought that she took the "medical record" because she missed her mother. She did not blame her or punish her. Instead, she returned the photo to her after helping her clean up the mess.

And she learned after that time that no matter what she did, she should prepare more than one plan to finish it in advance.

As for her mother, the previous Li Mu. She had been unable to figure out this problem since she found this "medical record". She had various guesses, but they all seemed unreasonable. Until today, when the boss pointed out her mother's identity, the doubts that had been bothering her were finally solved.

She had seen the training camps in the organization that specifically adopted the second generation, which was almost equivalent to artificial brainwashing, not to mention that her mother was theoretically the daughter of the BOSS.

However, her mother's choice was different from hers. When she was young, she chose the laboratory, while the woman chose the training camp after entering the laboratory once.

Back then, the boss used blood ties to control her mother, and now he wants to use this thing to control her...

Thinking of this, Akikawa Sarana looked at the photo and said to herself, "My choice is different from yours. I hate the organization, and I hate that man even more."

Having said this, she put the photo and the "case" back into the file box, and put the file box, along with all her feelings for the couple, back to the innermost part of the bookshelf.

[Host, Toru Amuro is back. He should know that you are in the basement and is playing with Haro now.]

[Well, you don't have to be so cautious at home. Tongzi, I don't need your help right now. Don't you usually watch a drama at this time? Go watch it. I'll call you if I need your help.]

[Okay, host, call me if you need me.] The system knew that its host probably wanted to be alone and quiet, so it stopped disturbing him and obediently closed the artificial connection between itself and the host.

When Akikawa Sarana saw that the system interface had turned into the familiar Tongzi hang-up interface, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Then she walked to the other side, took out several documents, and sat down in front of the desk.

The study in the basement is her private study. Due to certain properties of the Internet, she has always been accustomed to keeping secret documents in paper form before the system wakes up.

This study contains some information that is considered confidential but not so confidential. At least if the organization discovers her information, they will only think that it is her intelligence archive instead of betraying the organization.

Just as Akikawa Sarana was about to finish reading the documents at hand, she heard a knock on the door.

There was only her and Zero in this house, the person outside couldn't be anyone else. Akikawa Sarana put down the documents in her hand, "Zero, just come in."

After hearing the voice of Akikawa Sarina in the room, Toru Amuro pushed open the door and saw his girlfriend sitting at the table with two stacks of file boxes at her hands. He knew what was inside without having to think.

He first looked at his girlfriend's face, and after confirming that she looked normal and not injured, he was in the mood to observe the room.

He had always known of the existence of this room in the basement, but had never been inside it before. This was the first time he had entered this room since moving here.

Even though Sarina had told him before that he could enter the room at will and look through the things inside at will, he never thought of coming in alone out of respect for his girlfriend.

For him, there is a big difference between Limu being Sarina and Limu not being Sarina.

Toru Amuro glanced at the three rows of full bookshelves in the room and subconsciously analyzed the situation in the room. The room had a constant temperature, which was perfect for storing paper documents. It had the latest air filtration device, so there was not much dust or the like. It also had smoke alarms and fire extinguishing devices. It was a perfect room for storing paper documents.

Realizing what he had just been thinking, Amuro Toru blinked and looked at Sarina who was looking at him, "Did you encounter any problems today?"

He could tell from the traces in the living room upstairs that Sarina must have just hurriedly prepared food and changed the water for Haro after returning home and then came down.

Sarina received an email today asking her to go to that base again.

"Did anything go wrong with the report we sent?"

Akikawa Sarana shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with the report. It's because of something else."

------

Akikawa Sarana pulled out the file box at the bottom of her left hand and handed it to Amuro Toru, "Take a look at this first."

Amuro Toru glanced at the name on the file box and saw a black crow pattern and the signature number 0102. Thinking of his girlfriend's preference for keeping things simple, he said, "Number 102, is there a number 101 before the number of the relevant documents of the Karasuma investigation?"

His girlfriend responded by giving him a thumbs-up gesture, "Smart."

The black crow is the totem of the Karasuma family. Akikawa Sarina told this to Toru Amuro when she shared information with him.

Toru Amuro stopped talking and sat down on a chair next to Akikawa Sarina that looked completely different from the desk, and carefully looked through the documents in his hand.

He flipped through the information very quickly, and in just a few minutes, he had finished reading a whole box of information.

Amuro Toru frowned and looked at Akikawa Sarana, his expression clearly showing that he was thinking about something, "Here are the industries that the Karasuma family was and is currently involved in, as well as a list of family members..."

He couldn't understand why after Sarina came back...

Wait, Toru Amuro's eyes fell on the file box next to Akikawa Sarina...

"Conan's current appearance is caused by the organization. This can be said to be an unbelievable truth..."

Akikawa Sarana, who was originally planning to open her mouth to answer him, swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. This was a good opportunity for her to see how far Zero could analyze.

"Combined with what happened to you and what you told me before, the organization's purpose should be... rejuvenation." Amuro Toru said in a heavy tone.

Akikawa Sarana did not interrupt. She nodded and continued to look at him. She knew he had not finished speaking.

Zero should have known about the purpose of the organization after guessing Conan's identity. She even thought that since Zero and Morobushi were so close, Morobushi should have had the same concept.

Toru Amuro began to talk about the main point, "According to our investigations during this period, the current head of the Karasuma family does not seem to have much connection with the organization?"

He pulled out two personal files with photos and placed one of them on the table. It was a file of a man who looked to be around 60 years old. "But the police didn't find this person at the Karasuma family."

Although Toru Amuro didn't continue speaking, Akikawa Sarana understood what he meant.

Akikawa Sarana shook her head slightly, "It's not him, it's your other guess, the boss of the organization is still him."

She pointed to another file in Toru Amuro's hand, the one he had not put down, the one with Karasuma Renya's photo printed on it.

"Is it really him?"

Amuro Toru put down the file in his hand and looked at the old face of Karasuma Renya. He actually preferred this answer in his heart just now, but...

"Has the organization's technology reached this point? If Karasuma Renya is still alive, he would be 140 years old."

When he spoke later, there was a hint of uncertainty in Amuro Toru's tone.

"He is at least 140 years old. According to my investigation, he should be older." After she guessed that the BOSS was Karasuma Renya, the system had already given her a positive answer, so she was no longer surprised.

She could hardly believe that her mother was actually the daughter of Karasuma Renya, rather than the granddaughter or great-granddaughter. After all, the old man was already very old.

Amuro Toru was keenly aware of Akikawa Sarana's mood swings, "Sarina, is there anything else that happened?"

There was something not right about Sarina's condition since he saw her today. She seemed to be surprised by something. He just thought Sarina was surprised that Karasuma Renya was not dead yet, so she started to study the information as soon as she came back.

He was equally surprised by this speculation.

But looking at Sarina's condition now, there is another thing that she can't believe.

Amuro Toru looked at his girlfriend's face. He didn't know why he suddenly felt that his girlfriend's face was familiar with the face of one of the people in the files just now. He blurted out a guess, "Sarina, you and the Karasuma family..."

Realizing what he was saying, Toru Amuro stopped talking. The person who was about to say that it was just a random guess instantly understood after seeing the expression on Akikawa Sarina's face.

Akikawa Sarana looked at her boyfriend who was thinking something, "The person I met today was Karasuma Renya, and he said... he said my mother was his youngest daughter."

What was Toru Amuro thinking at this moment? He thought of another person in the organization who was related to the boss by blood.

"That is to say, Sarina, you are the boss's grandchild by blood."

Hearing him deliberately use such a caring way to express his concern for her, Akikawa Sarana, who was still a little uneasy, felt relieved.
