Chapter 393: Running Towards Dusk 40
Ran Mouri looked at Eri Ochi, who suddenly turned pale and looked very weak, and then looked at Sarina Akikawa who had already walked forward, with a somewhat conflicted look on her face.
But before she could say anything, the equally considerate Toyama Kazuha said, "It's okay, Xiaolan, you and Sister Akikawa go find Conan, I'll take care of Dr. Ochi."
Mao Lilan was about to agree, but Akikawa Sarina, who had already walked some distance away, said, "Didn't Miss Ochi say she was just tired? Kazuha, don't disturb her. Let her have a good rest. Let's go find Conan first."
Hearing her obviously impolite words, Mao Lilan was stunned. In her eyes, Akikawa Sarina has always been the type with a cold face but a warm heart. How could Akikawa Sarina treat Dr. Ochi like this...
Ochi Eri smiled at the two girls in front of her whom she disliked very much, and said softly: "Ms. Akikawa is right, I will go and rest by myself, you should go and find Conan first, the snow hasn't stopped completely yet, it's not safe for him to be outside alone."
The parties involved said so, and Ran Mouri was not completely naive. She still trusted Akikawa Sarana, with whom she had shared hardships, more, so she agreed with Akikawa Sarana's idea.
Toyama Kazuha saw Mao Li Ran nodded. Although she was a little confused, she still chose to go with her friend.
"Then Dr. Ochi, you should have a good rest. We will go find Conan first and come back soon." Ran Mouri nodded to Eri Ochi, and then she and Kazuha Toyama caught up with Sarina Akikawa who was waiting for them at the corner.
Eri Ochi stayed where she was and waited until Akikawa Sarina and the other two disappeared. Then she put away the hypocritical smile on her face, took out her mobile phone to send an email, but found that there was no signal.
Her expression suddenly became more and more unpleasant. What happened? Why was there no signal all of a sudden? The shielding equipment she brought with her obviously couldn't block the satellite phone signal...
[Sarina, there are 30 minutes left in the signal blocking time. Do you need me to add a little more time? ]
[Don't worry, let's see what's going on with Conan first. 】
[Sarina, will Ochi Eri complain to the organization after you treated her like that?]
[I definitely will, but I’m not afraid. ]
Akikawa Sarina heard Ran Maoli's concern for her health and said, "Don't worry, Ran, I'm not trying to be brave. Besides, it was me who didn't think highly of Conan. I should have gone with you to find him."
At the same time, she replied in her mind, "Like I said, she's dying. Death is what awaits her after completing this mission. Rather than being killed by other members of the organization, it's better to let her die in my hands and be controlled by the police. Anyway, death is death anyway, so it's better to help me gain some notoriety."
After hearing what Akikawa Sarina said, Mao Li Ran and Toyama Kazuha knew they couldn't win over her, but Mao Li Ran still retorted: "It's not Akikawa sister's fault that Conan ran away by himself. He ran around on his own. We couldn't keep an eye on him normally, and he would have slipped away if we weren't careful."
Yuanshan and Ye also whispered: "I thought Conan had changed his personality because he was so quiet these past two days, but who knew he was still the same."
Several people quickly walked to the door where Mouri Ran had discovered Conan's footprints. Akikawa Sarina adjusted the scarf that she had draped around her neck and put on the hat on her clothes.
The same went for Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha, both of them put on hats and gloves.
Conan's footprints were still on the snow, and because he had not been away for long, the footprints were not covered much, making it much easier to find him.
Of course, this is also a clue that Conan deliberately left for those who come to find him.
Akikawa Sarina took a look at the red dot where Conan disappeared and reappeared, and quickly followed the footprints with Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha to find out.
"Speaking of which, Uncle Mori and the others have been looking for Ms. Sakai for such a long time and haven't come back yet. Could something really have happened to Ms. Sakai?" Although it was daytime now and not as scary as last night, Toyama Kazuha was still a little scared.
However, her worry about Kyoko Sakai, who left alone and left a suicide note, eventually prevailed.
Mao Lilan looked at Akikawa Sarana, "Akikawa sister, what do you think of Ms. Sakai? She is still..."
As someone who also saw the suicide note, Mao Lilan found it difficult to say the following words.
"I guess she's not doing well."
Akikawa Sarana touched the suicide note in her pocket that she had put in a transparent bag. "Whether the suicide note was left by her or not, if she didn't commit suicide, then the murderer wanted her dead. It's been a long time since she left the villa, and when we noticed she was missing, all the remaining people were in the villa. If it wasn't suicide but homicide, then it means the murderer has already done it.
This is also the reason why Mr. Maori and Toru are in a hurry to find someone. Hattori-kun divided them into two groups to help Mr. Maori find someone, and at the same time let everyone monitor each other to create conditions for Mr. Maori and his team to be as unaffected as possible. "
After hearing what Akikawa Sarana said, the two kind girls looked a little unhappy, and even their fear of the environment was reduced a lot.
"This way."
Conan's footprints began to overlap with the footprints of others, "Is this the direction where Ms. Kokubo and Ms. Nishikawa went?"
Akikawa Sarina turned her head to look at Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha, and they both nodded, "That's right."
Akikawa Sarana looked at the three rows of footprints on the ground and said, "Then let's go this way."
The three of them continued to move forward. Akikawa Sarana looked at the countdown for blocking the signal, which showed there were still 20 minutes left.
As Conan walked forward, his steps became more and more disordered. It seemed as if something had happened. Both Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha were a little nervous and their pace involuntarily quickened.
At this moment, Yuanshan Heye said in a trembling voice: "Xiaolan, Sister Qiuchuan, is there a person lying over there?"
Akikawa Sarana really had no idea what story the two of them had heard. After Toyama Kazuha finished her story with a trembling voice, Mouri Ran also shuddered, obviously frightened.
But although the two girls were scared, their first reaction was to protect Akikawa Sarina, who looked very weak, behind them.
Looking at the two people who were suddenly standing in front of her and were still trembling, a hint of tenderness flashed in Akikawa Sarina's eyes. They were really two very well-behaved and kind children.
Even though he was so scared, he still didn't forget to protect her behind him.
As an adult, Akikawa Sarina naturally would not let the two children stand in front of her. She patted Mouri Ran's shoulder gently, then walked in front of the two people and walked towards the person lying in the snow.
