Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 417: A Glimmer of Light in the Cracks 12

"intuition."

Amuro Toru looked down at his girlfriend and saw that there was only confusion on her face without any other emotions. The last trace of coldness in his eyes also completely dissipated, "And that man... I have a very familiar feeling when I see him, especially his eyes..."

He did find those two people suspicious at first, and even wondered if someone was targeting him and Sarina, was it someone from the organization or the police?

But the eyes of the man behind him gave him a very familiar feeling, and the emotion in those eyes seemed to be more than just superficial apology. When he looked at him, he seemed to be looking at a stranger, but for some reason he always felt that the other party was worried about him...

Given his current situation, if someone makes him feel familiar subconsciously, then that person is definitely not a stranger.

You know, he didn't have this feeling when he and Sarina met Vermouth together before.

After he woke up, only Sarina and the people in his dream had this feeling, so he felt that the man must have been very important to him in the past.

After figuring this out, Toru Amuro began to think again about the reason why that person bumped into Sarina.

Then he came to the conclusion that they knew his current state and deliberately pretended not to know him and bumped into Sarina for a purpose, but the purpose was not what he thought at the beginning. These two people wanted to see his reaction...

Thinking more deeply, it was definitely not a coincidence that these two people appeared on the same flight as him and Sarina.

So...can he conclude that these two people got the information about his current situation from Sarina?

Or, when Sarina went out alone that day and specifically told him not to follow her, was it because she was going to meet these two people?

Thinking of this, he naturally came to a conclusion, but because of his guess about another question and what happened on the way to the Los Angeles airport, he decided to ask directly.

Fortunately, Sarina's answer satisfied him.

What he was betting on was whether Sarina would change the subject. Sarina said she would try her best not to lie to him, so she just changed the subject.

And Sarina also knew that when faced with his question, changing the subject would simply mean acquiescing to the answer to his question.

Facing his silent girlfriend, Toru Amuro reached out and took Akikawa Sarina's hand, interlocked their fingers and continued walking forward, "It looks like he should be one of the people who is very important to me. Sarina, can you tell me later what he thinks of the meeting just now?"

There was an inexplicable sense of ease in his tone, and he even made a joke.

Akikawa Sarina sighed helplessly, "Although I knew you would figure this out soon, I didn't expect it to be so fast... But as expected, you recognized him from his eyes. Maybe you should find someone else. He is too important to you."

"It's Sarina you guys are too anxious."

Toru Amuro thought about the questions about undercover that the organization had asked him during the test. He knew that his emotional reaction was wrong at the time, but the result was that there was nothing wrong at all. While resting on the plane, he had a guess, could it be that Sarina had done something?

But he also felt that under the circumstances at that time, Sarina had neither the conditions nor the help to help her do anything.

Now that he thought about it, were they those two people? The man who bumped into Sarina looked like a freshman who was a bit reckless, but the man he felt familiar with looked quite powerful.

Thinking of this, Amuro Toru smiled and said, "You guys move too fast, as if you're worried that something big will happen in the next second."

"Of course I am anxious."

Akikawa Sarana thought of the way this person looked at Hoho just now, "You can even bear the headache now, and you received a mission again. I'm afraid that you will secretly do the mission behind my back, and then something irreversible will happen."

"So, I really am..."

Toru Amuro stopped and looked around at the empty space. There was no possibility of being eavesdropped.

After confirming, he bent down and put his forehead against Akikawa Sarina's. There was a relaxed smile on his lips, "I am not just a member of the organization... You said that we are not traitors, so I am..."

This time, Akikawa Sarina didn't drive, so she had time to carefully watch his every move. At just one glance, she could see the forbearance underneath his seemingly relaxed appearance. She was very familiar with this expression, as she had endured the pain in this way before.

So she raised her hand to cover Amuro Toru's mouth before he could say the answer, "Okay, stop talking, even if you can bear it, stop talking, forget about it now!"

Amuro Toru raised his hand and held his girlfriend's hand covering his mouth, "Okay, I won't say anything."

The disgust towards himself that had been lingering in his mind ever since he woke up from the brainwashing, constantly telling him that he was a criminal, completely disappeared the moment Sarina acquiesced.

Even though he had a headache now, he felt relaxed.

After confirming that he was really obedient and didn't think about it, this time it was Akikawa Sarina who pulled him towards the parking lot, "Okay, then we can go home directly now."

"Didn't Sarina plan to take me home directly before?" Amuro Toru followed his girlfriend's footsteps with a smile.

"Yes, I was planning to take you somewhere else."

There were too many secrets in the villa where she and Ling lived, and she originally planned to take him to her other residence.

It was obvious that there was no sign of anyone having lived there, so when Sui Sui bumped into her, she stuffed the key into her hand and asked her to take Zhu Fu to set up the place.

Amuro Toru, who was walking behind, looked at his girlfriend's back and said, "Sarina, aren't you afraid that I was testing you just now?"

Akikawa Sarina turned around and looked at someone, "Because now you don't remember how well we knew each other, and..."

She deliberately lowered her voice, and the smile on her face disappeared. "We are now a community of shared destiny, and we are accomplices. Even if you are testing me, it won't cause any harm to me, right?"

------

Hearing her words, Amuro Toru lowered his head to look at their tightly clasped hands and said softly, "Pretending to be fierce again."

Akikawa Sarana suddenly couldn't hold back her expression and turned to look at someone, "You are the same."

Don't think she couldn't see that this person was deliberately teasing her, so she said these words with the same cold face.

Akikawa Sarana grumbled, "I finally got to be handsome for once, but you're not cooperating at all."

Although her voice was very low, Amuro Toru still heard it, "It's not that easy. I have many memories of Sarina being very handsome."

His girlfriend, with such a weak body, rescued him from the unconscious laboratory table in the organization's base without any injuries. From the injuries he saw after waking up...

"Hehe, since you're so sweet, I forgive you."

"Thank you, Lady Sarina, for being so magnanimous and forgiving me~"

On the other side of the airport parking lot, Zhu Fu Jingguang and Niino Natsuho got into the car that the police had sent to the airport in advance.

As she was about to drive away, Natsuho Arano picked up her phone and took a look. "Sarina said that Amuro had guessed it, so we don't need to make any arrangements..."

Before she finished speaking, Niino Natsuho suddenly looked at Zhufu Jingguang who was looking down at his phone. She thought of how he was not in a hurry after getting off the plane. "Zhufu, did you know it from the beginning?"

Zhu Fujingguang, who was contacting his friends and asking them not to get close to those two people recently, raised his eyes and said, "I have guessed a little, but I don't know how far Zero can deduce, but..."

He said with a relieved smile on his face, "Judging from your reaction, Shinno, Akikawa's situation is much more optimistic than I originally guessed.

According to my original speculation, given Zero's personality, he would have a few more rounds of mutual testing with Akikawa, and he would have investigated both of us in depth. He would not have come up with an answer so quickly as he did now, and would have chosen to ask Akikawa directly."

Given Zero's suspicious personality, his suspicion and defensiveness towards the outside world would definitely become stronger after he lost his memory. In this case, even he didn't have the confidence to gain Zero's trust in just a few days.

But Akikawa did it.

Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but praise: "It's amazing."

Hearing who he was praising, Niino Natsuho was quite pleased with herself, "My Sarina is really amazing."

As a mother, she was also surprised that her host was able to gain Toru Amuro's trust in such a short time.

Originally, she had already imagined a lot of things in her mind, such as Amuro Toru not trusting his host, being suspicious and defensive, hurting his host, and the host being unable to say anything, and finally being tortured.

But her host is a super practical person. She knows how suspicious and defensive Amuro Toru is, so she deliberately reveals the truth in front of Amuro Toru, letting him reason and analyze and investigate on his own.

This is what Natsuho Arano thought to herself, as she had no idea how bad her acting was, which exposed her flaws and led to Toru Amuro guessing that something was wrong.

Since those two people don't need their help for the time being, they can go and do other things first.

Zhu Fu Jingguang thought about what he would be busy with next... One of the most troublesome things on Zero's side has been handled by Akikawa, and they need to do the rest by themselves, and they can't always trouble Akikawa.

"Niino, does Akikawa have any plans for you next?" Zhu Fushimi looked at Niino Natsuho who was driving.

There was no need to keep this kind of thing secret, so Niino Natsuho answered directly: "Sarina asked me to protect Professor Agasa and Ai."

Miyano Akemi was busy helping them contact people in Sicily. Akai Shuichi also helped them a lot this time. In addition to the transaction with Akai Shuichi, she and Sarina naturally also had to help protect Haibara Ai.

She glanced at Zhu Fu Jingguang and said, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head. "You and Qiuchuan have helped a lot. I think we will have to trouble you to communicate with Sicily about Zero's situation. Leave the rest to us."

Hearing him say this, Niino Natsuho didn't think much about it.

Although her host wanted to leave the organization and Amuro Toru wanted to complete the mission, she was just doing it for the mission and to help her host...

Wait, mission!!!

Natsuho Niino thought of her host's unfinished main mission. She had been so busy these days that she even forgot the existence of that mission.

"By the way, Zhu Fu, has the person you took away from the villa woken up?"

Hearing this question suddenly, Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "She has woken up and is being held in the police station's place for special prisoners. Do you have any questions for her?"

Niino Natsuho did not make the decision for her host, and shook her head, "I don't have anything to ask. Sarina must have some questions to ask her. She didn't say anything, probably because of what happened in the past few days. Sarina has temporarily put this matter at a later priority."

She is no longer the same ruler as when she just woke up. Although she doesn't particularly understand other things, she knows one thing: in the heart of her host, Toru Amuro's priority is much more important than the mission.

Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't say much, "Okay, when Qiuchuan has time later, I will contact her to discuss this matter."

He may not be able to take Qiuchuan directly to the place where the person is being held, but he can help her inquire. It is best for Qiuchuan not to meet that person directly, so that even if something unexpected happens in the future, Qiuchuan's safety can be guaranteed.

Standing in front of the strange yet familiar villa, Toru Amuro turned his head to look at Akikawa Sarina, "I have this place in my memory, but not too much."

"The two of us haven't lived here very long."

Akikawa Sarina walked over to open the door of the villa, and the two of them walked into the yard. "We've been on missions one after another since we moved in, so we don't have much time to actually stay at home."

Just as she said this, Harrow came running over from the backyard.

Its original route seemed to be to jump directly into Toru Amuro's arms, but for some reason it suddenly stopped in front of Toru Amuro, sniffed a little, and then jumped onto Akikawa Sarina's legs and rubbed against them, as if wanting a hug.

Akikawa Sarina smiled and bent down to pick up Haro and kissed the cute puppy, "Hello, long time no see, how have you been recently?"

"Woof~" Haro, who was well taken care of and had shiny fur, barked happily, then hummed and acted coquettishly in the arms of his mistress.

[I originally wanted to write him as a dark person, but after thinking about it, I realized that the education Lingling received from childhood to adulthood and his own life experiences destined him to be an upright and kind person.

An unsuccessful brainwashing experiment might erase his memory and implant in him the memory that he is a criminal, but it is impossible to directly turn him into a black person, especially since there is Sarina who keeps hinting that there is something wrong with his identity. Moreover, I think even if Sarina didn't hint at him, he would hate and reject this identity. 】
