Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away
Chapter 297 The Darkness Before Dawn 26
The couple who had already exchanged opinions naturally noticed Conan who had quietly approached them. Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Akikawa Sarina made a gesture to him to talk later.
Conan, who finally understood it this time, felt relieved. As long as he was not suddenly excluded again, it would be fine.
Amuro Toru has always disagreed with Sarina's idea of not hiding anything from Conan, but he couldn't do anything about his girlfriend, so he had to cooperate. In this way, at least he knew what information they exchanged, instead of being completely kept in the dark.
The three people's minds were not completely focused on the people who were communicating in the room, but Kogoro Mouri already had some guesses.
"Although this may seem like an attempt to sow discord among you, is it possible that the person who sent this threatening letter was not an external member, but someone in your band?"
Maori Kogoro said this with a serious expression. He had carefully observed all the people in the band who had appeared in front of him. He came to this conclusion because he found that the people in the band were not as harmonious as Uraki Misaya said.
Hearing what Kogoro Mouri said, the manager and the orchestra conductor, who were worried about the condition of the concertmaster Lydia, were stunned, and then they showed some confusion and disbelief on their faces.
"Everyone in the group gets along very well. We are like a family. The group has a very fair scoring rule and conducts an assessment every three months..."
Uraki Misaya continued the orchestra conductor's words and said, "Yes, that's right. Moreover, Martina, the deputy principal, has a very good relationship with Lydia. The two of them are like sisters."
She naturally understood the unspoken meaning of Maori Kogoro's words just now. He was suspicious of the person who would replace Lydia if something really happened to her.
Uraki Mei had long been unwilling to doubt their members, so she pointed this out directly.
"What uncle said is just one of the possibilities."
Conan thought about the argument he had accidentally overheard. Although they had other guesses about the threatening letter, the members of this band were just as Uncle Maori said, not as united as they seemed.
The conversation ended with the manager Uraki Misaya and the band conductor Chapman’s hasty farewell. Watching them leave, Suzuki Sonoko, who did not interrupt, looked at the people in the lounge and said, “Uncle Mori, Mr. Amuro, are you really not outsiders?”
Kogoro Mori nodded without explaining.
Amuro Toru saw that she was really confused, and also saw that Maori Kogoro was just too lazy to explain, so he spoke for him, "Although the criminal who sent the threatening letter deliberately used the most ordinary envelopes and cards, and even the content of the letter was printed with the most common ink, the criminal still missed one thing, that is, the time when he sent each threatening letter."
At this point, Toru Amuro deliberately paused, obviously guiding Suzuki Sonoko to think about the key points herself.
The reason why Conan did not interrupt Kogoro Mori's analysis with a joke as he usually did was because he also thought that the threatening letter was sent by an insider of the band.
Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko had understood, he continued with what Amuro Toru had just said, "Sister Sonoko should have noticed that the orchestra's collective practice time is not fixed every day. They are more casual, so only they themselves know when there will be no one in the lounge and hotel rooms shortly before the collective rehearsal."
Suzuki Sonoko clenched her right fist and tapped the palm of her left hand, "So that's how it is! If you want to send threatening letters without being discovered every time, you must find out everyone's action time..."
She suddenly stopped talking and said, "If it is really an insider, then wouldn't it be possible to figure out who the criminal is just by looking at who was absent during those time periods?"
Seeing several people either nodding or remaining silent, Suzuki Sonoko instantly understood why the manager and orchestra conductor had suddenly left.
They both probably believed Uncle Maori's reasoning to some extent, so they went to investigate.
Akikawa Sarina was using her cell phone to send an email to her own Tomoko, asking her to investigate the room numbers of all the band members in the hotel. She and Zero might do something that was on the edge of the law later.
At the same time, she was also listening to the two people around her guiding Suzuki Sonoko's thinking.
In fact, she also felt very strange. Why didn't these two people in the band ever think about such an obvious thing?
She had just sent the email when she received a reply from Susu. There was a form attached to the email, which was obviously what Akikawa Sarana wanted from her.
Calculating the time, if it wasn't a system skill, then it must have been prepared by Sui Sui in advance. It was likely that she thought she might need this after the two of them finished chatting.
Akikawa Sarana did not open the file. She directly replied to the email with an emoticon and a pat on the head, then put away her phone.
Then she raised her head and looked at everyone, "It's already this time, Xiaolan and Masumi should be almost done, right?
I just made a reservation at the Garden Building. I heard that their hotel’s food is very famous. Shall we go there tonight and try it?”
Although they had already had lunch at the Garden Building at noon, how could they possibly enjoy it to their heart's content? Mouri Kogoro naturally would not refuse. Conan also wanted to exchange information with the two of them, so of course he agreed.
Suzuki Sonoko had no objection. She had originally planned to invite everyone to have dinner at the Garden Building, but she didn't expect someone to get there first. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go call Xiaolan and the others."
"Sonoko, please invite Ms. Uraki and the others as well."
Although she knew that Sonoko must have prepared a thank-you gift for the band, or the Suzuki family sign would be enough, Akikawa Sarina still said to Suzuki Sonoko. Not only to thank the band, but also to hold back the main people so that Zero and others could sneak into their rooms.
Suzuki Sonoko nodded generously, "Okay, don't worry, Sister Akikawa."
Of course she understood these interpersonal interactions, and just as Akikawa Sarana expected, she had already prepared a thank-you gift for the orchestra.
But Suzuki Sonoko is still very happy, because it means that after her persistence for some time, the fake iceberg who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside has been successfully conquered by her!
As for the cost of this meal, Suzuki Sonoko knew it well. Given Akikawa Sarina's personality, if there were financial problems, she would definitely not take the initiative to do this.
Although she has not yet gone to the company, she knows that with Akikawa Sarina's position, her annual salary must not be too low.
As she walked out, Suzuki Sonoko thought, it seems that Mr. Amuro, who claims to be a low-level detective as his main job and works part-time at Poirot, is indeed not as well off financially as Sister Akikawa...
Suzuki Sonoko widened her eyes slightly. Was Mr. Amuro really going to become a "gigolo"? !
