Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 289 The Darkness Before Dawn 18

Since Kogoro Mouri has been commissioned to find the criminal and protect the threatened concertmaster violinist, they need to stay in the hotel.

So before leaving for the concert hall, Uraki Misao booked a room in the hotel for Kogoro Mori until the end of the performance next week.

Originally, she planned to open one for Mao Lilan as well, but Mao Lilan refused on the grounds that she was only here to accompany her father to handle a case today and had to go to school afterwards.

She and Conan came here today with Kogoro Mouri because today is the weekend.

Mao Lilan looked at Conan, who did not cause trouble for his father today, with a somewhat relaxed smile on her face, "Sonoko and Sera would never have thought that we could actually see the concert rehearsal in front of them."

Conan, who was thinking about the problem, nodded in agreement when he heard Xiaolan's words, "Sister Xiaolan, are you going to tell Sister Sonoko and Sister Sera?"

This must be told to the two of them. Mao Lilan took out her cell phone and said, "I'm going to tell them now."

She muttered to herself as she sent the email, "I just don't know if Sister Akikawa has time recently. I'll discuss it with Sonoko later. Let's try to invite Sister Akikawa during the rehearsal."

Conan wondered, "Sister Xiaolan, Sister Akikawa shouldn't be too interested in events like concerts, right?"

From his observation of Akikawa Sarina, Miss Akikawa herself is not particularly fond of music. The last time she went to the concert, it was probably simply because Miss Niino was a fan of Yoko Okino, right?

"Even though that's what I said, I always feel like Akikawa-san seems very lonely." Mao Lilan sent the email and lowered her head to Conan, "Although it's not obvious, Sonoko and I both feel that Akikawa-san occasionally shows that lonely look."

Conan thought about it, and after he figured it out, Han Yue looked at Mao Li Ran.

He thought it might be a misunderstanding between Xiaolan and Sonoko. He felt that with Miss Akikawa's strong heart, her dramatic nature, and the obvious look on her face when she occasionally watched a show, the word loneliness had nothing to do with Miss Akikawa.

Xiaolan and Sonoko must have been deceived by Miss Akikawa's acting skills.

But Conan didn't say much. He also had something he wanted to discuss with Miss Akikawa. If she had time, he would take the opportunity to discuss it. He hadn't seen Miss Akikawa since the last meeting at her house.

Coincidentally, Kogoro Mouri and Uraki Misaki also came over, and Conan and Ran Mouri followed them and went to the concert hall together.

Conan was originally listening to the two people in front of him talking about the band's experience before coming to Japan, and he also heard Uraki Misaki say that many people in the band are mixed-race...

Conan, who was thinking about something else, seemed to be struck by lightning suddenly and stopped abruptly.

His mind raced through his recent experiences.

The scene when he and Akikawa Sarana were talking about drug A; Huihara Ai sat in front of the computer with her back to him and said that she had a new research direction, which was to study genes to prolong the stability of the antidote...

As well as Akai Shuichi, Sera Masumi, Haneda Hideyoshi, the "sister outside the field", Miyano Shiho, Miyano Akemi, and Haibara Ai who had shrunk and put on makeup, the faces of these people also appeared quickly in his mind, and finally stopped on the faces of the "sister outside the field" and Haibara Ai.

Wait, so is there a possibility that the “sister outside the field”...she is also the one who took drug A and became smaller!

Conan remembered what Akikawa Sarina had said to him before, and the look in her eyes that he misunderstood at that time, and he reached out to touch his cell phone.

He needs to confirm this matter with Miss Akikawa.

"Conan-kun?" Ran Mouri noticed Conan who had fallen behind, turned around and walked back to Conan, took his hand, and originally wanted to say something to him, but then she noticed the sweat on his forehead and his cold hands when she pulled him up.

Mao Lilan suddenly panicked, "Conan-kun? Are you feeling unwell?"

As she spoke, she quickly took out her handkerchief, squatted down and wiped the sweat from Conan's forehead.

Conan was brought back to his senses by Mouri Ran's actions. He looked at the worried expression of his beloved in front of him and quickly calmed down.

He forced out a cute smile, "I'm fine, Sister Xiaolan."

"Then why are you sweating all of a sudden? Your hands are so cold. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

After wiping the sweat off his face, Mao Lilan touched his forehead to see if he had a fever.

Conan continued to explain obediently, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm not feeling unwell. I just suddenly thought of a scary story I saw before, so I scared myself."

Hearing him say this, Mao Lilan finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to gently touch Conan's head, "I'm glad you're okay. Be sure to tell me if you feel unwell!"

"Hai!" Conan replied in a baby voice.

"Hmph, little brat, don't watch things that are not suitable for your age." The two of them made quite a noise, so Mouri Kogoro and Uraki Misaya naturally noticed it. As soon as they turned around, they heard Conan's answer, and their original worries dissipated in an instant.

As his guardian, Kogoro Mori naturally had to say a few words to him. As for what Kogoro Mori was thinking when he said this, no one knew except himself.

After being interrupted, Conan calmed down and realized that now was not a good time to contact Akikawa Sarana. He silently let Mouri Ran pull his hand and got into the car driven by Uraki Misaki.

He began to recall the hint Akikawa Sarina had given him before.

Yes, it's a hint.

He felt that with the abilities of Akikawa Sarina and Niino Natsuho, they must have known the whole story when the "sister from outside the field" first came to Japan, so they reminded him.

At this time, Akikawa Sarana, who was in a meeting with Amuro Toru and Morobushi Keimitsu, turned her head to cover her mouth and nose with a tissue and sneezed. She took another tissue and wiped her itchy nose.

Turning around, she saw three pairs of worried eyes looking at her. She waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. "I'm fine. It's probably someone talking about me behind my back."

She had been in good health recently, so there was no possibility of her catching a cold. She also guessed that the person who was talking about her was most likely Shuichi Akai or Conan.
