Chapter 106 Pushing Hands
Dense forest in the suburbs.

Xiaoxi parked the car here as agreed in the morning.

He opened the car door, dragged the bodyguard and Shiro Suzuki out of the car, laid them face up in the weeds, and covered them with branches.

After finishing, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he hid behind a tree, sticking his head out to peek secretly.

But after a long time...

Still no one came.

Xiaoxi cursed softly in the morning, then drove back to the city unwillingly.

But less than five minutes after he left, another car came from the side road.

——Su Beixun had actually arrived a long time ago.

While on the phone, he completed his location of Xiaoxi in the morning and waited until she left before coming out.

He opened the door and got out of the car, then gave each of the two unconscious people in the bushes an injection of anesthetic.

They also searched their mobile phones and other electronic products and then dragged them back to the car.

"This is...Uncle Suzuki?"

Jiang Shouhuang saw an acquaintance lying on the back seat.

"You know him?"

"……Um."

The little fat boy gave him a well-behaved smile, trying to restore the atmosphere between them to the level that made him feel at ease before.

"I saw him when I went to the banquet with Grandpa."

"No wonder."

Su Beixun nodded.

Soon, the car drove into the woods.

It's strange that such a small place like Japan has so many wildernesses. And the less people go there, the easier it is to find abandoned buildings there.

This is exactly the place Su Beixun was going to.

Under the dense branches, there stood a dilapidated little house.

Most of the blue bricks and gray tiles have fallen off, and you can vaguely see the former bright colors from above, but under the ravages of time, they have all turned into dust.

In the window corners, door sides, eaves, and cracks, spider webs were woven and broken wood was exposed.

It looks like a shabby product abandoned by the times.

The wind squeezed through the cracks, making a whimpering sound, mixed with the rustling of leaves.

Jiang Shouhuang swallowed and his face turned pale.

I couldn't help but ask: "Where is this place?"

He looked around at the tall trees that blocked out the sunlight.

The combination of light and shadow creates a gloomy picture.

Children have the most vivid imaginations. At this moment, Jiang Shouhuang was already scared to death by the shabby haunted house in front of him.

"follow me."

Su Beixun ordered coldly.

He carried Shiro Suzuki on his shoulders and instead of walking through the front door of the house, he went around to a big tree on the side.

He used his foot to sweep away a layer of loose soil, revealing the dark yellow, somewhat rotten wooden boards underneath.

——This was the safe house he bought from a bounty hunter in Hokkaido before coming to Tokyo to study.

creak~

The old connecting shaft groaned harshly.

Fortunately, although there is blockage, it is not completely rusted.

The wooden board was opened, and there was no staircase underneath, but a pit about two meters deep.

Su Beixun threw Suzuki Shiro down, and then pulled Jiang Shouhuang to jump in together.

In front of the pit was a dark passage, which extended to the bottom of the dilapidated house.

Walking out of the passage, there is a huge cave of about one hundred square meters!

Su Beixun took out the candles, lit them and fixed them to the depressions in the earth wall.

The candlelight jumped and drove the darkness into the corner.

Jiang Shouhuang then saw that in addition to the passage they came through, there were four other holes in the wall!

I don't know where it leads to.

When I turned my head, I saw four cells separated by iron bars on the opposite side of the cave entrance!
The overall shape of this hollow cavity is obviously that of a prison!
In the orange-red firelight, large dark stains could be vaguely seen on the cell floor.

...Is it blood?
Jiang Shouhuang made this association subconsciously.

He suddenly felt eerie and took several steps back.

Throw Suzuki Shiro into a cell.

Su Beixun said to him, "Wait here, I'll bring the remaining one in."

After saying that, he returned to the passage.

He jumped lightly and grabbed the ground, using his arms to push himself forward.

After coming outside, Su Beixun first put the car into the space, and then carried the bodyguard.

After looking around, Su Beixun nodded with satisfaction.

Before coming, he drove left and right in the woods, and since there was hard, lumpy ground nearby, not many traces were left.

After cleaning up the surroundings.

Su Beixun stuck dead branches and dust on the wooden board of the basement entrance, then jumped back in and carefully closed it.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Alexi, my husband may be in some trouble. If you don't mind, let me accompany you."

In the reception room of the Suzuki residence, a short-haired woman with a dignified and steady appearance placed tea in front of the guests.

The guest had blond hair and blue eyes, and spoke Japanese very fluently.

At this time, she smiled politely and said, "No, it is an honor for me to have Mrs. Suzuki accompany me. I wonder what you think of the Egg of Memories..."

The two chatted harmoniously for a while, and Suzuki Tomoko sent her out of the house.

I happened to run into Suzuki Sonoko who was walking home with her schoolbag.

"Hey, why are you the one receiving the guests, mom?"

Suzuki Tomoko snorted coldly, "It's your dad. He probably thought there were too many things to do today, so he went to slack off somewhere... He didn't even call me this time, so I had to force him to do something!"

Suzuki Sonoko laughed dryly twice, and seeing that her mother was in a bad mood, she quickly smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. I'll go back and do my homework first."

"stop!"

Suzuki Tomoko shouted.

"You must attend all the following meetings with me!"

"what?"

Suzuki Sonoko had a bitter face.

She used to be very interested in the adults' meetings, but after arguing with her father to attend them once, she deeply regretted it.

It was not the place she had imagined with strategic planning and wise strategies, but instead there was only cursing and haggling.

The gap is as big as that between online dating and meeting in person.

Since then, Suzuki Sonoko has been reluctant to attend meetings and always finds various reasons to refuse.

"Ah for what?"

Suzuki Tomoko became furious when she saw her resistance.

"Your sister will be getting married in the second half of the year, and you will be the only heir to the Suzuki Group. If you don't start training now, how can I trust you to inherit the business when the time comes?!"

"I'm just a high school student!"

Suzuki Sonoko whined.

Just when Suzuki Tomoko was feeling very disappointed with her friend, her phone suddenly rang.

"Who is it?"

Thinking it was a work-related matter, Suzuki Tomoko suppressed her anger and remained calm.

"Shiro Suzuki is in my hands." An old voice came from the other side.

Suzuki Tomoko narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this.

But she didn't seem flustered. She turned on the speakerphone and signaled her daughter with her eyes.

"How much do you want?" Suzuki Tomoko asked directly.

Suzuki Sonoko didn't understand what was going on at first, but when she heard this, she immediately reacted and hurriedly took out her mobile phone and opened the recording software.

"No, I don't want any money."

The old voice chuckled and said, "Although Mr. Suzuki Shiro is worth a lot of money, I want something more than money." "What is it?"

Suzuki Tomoko asked calmly.

"A procedure."

"……What?!"

"There is an artificial intelligence called Noah's Ark circulating on the Japanese Internet. If you can get it, I will exchange it with Suzuki Shiro."

Suzuki Tomoko frowned. She couldn't understand what the other person said.

"Artificial intelligence... sir, are you kidding me?"

"Haha, go check it out. With the strength of the Suzuki Group, it will definitely not be difficult to find out about this kind of thing... I'll be waiting for your good news."

"and many more!"

Hearing the other party's intention to hang up the phone, Suzuki Tomoko hurriedly said: "Let me hear my husband's voice!"

No words were spoken on the other side.

There was only the sound of a fist being thrown.

And then... there was that familiar groan of pain!
A flash of worry appeared in Suzuki Tomoko's eyes, but she couldn't say anything more as the call was disconnected.

"What should I do, Mom? Dad..."

Suzuki Sonoko was at a loss. It was the first time she faced such a thing and she was completely confused.

Suzuki Tomoko hid the fragility in her eyes and said calmly, "Don't worry. Since the other party has made a request, your father's life safety does not need to be worried for a short time... Sonoko, you call the police first. Mom wants to check what the Noah's Ark he mentioned is."

"Ok!"

With the instructions, Suzuki Sonoko calmed down and quickly called the police to briefly describe what happened.

After hanging up, she remembered something and quickly made another call.

"What's wrong, Sonoko? Did you leave something at school?"

Hearing this gentle voice, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but blush: "Lan..."

##
"…Morning Xiaoxi, how is my driver?"

Suzuki Shiro coughed a few times, and after the pain in his stomach subsided, he asked with difficulty.

Su Beixun pulled out a chair and sat down.

"What are you expecting? Do you hope that Xiaoxi has to do this in the morning?"

"I just want to make me die."

Sitting on the cold ground, Shiro Suzuki did not panic but smiled at himself.

"I have known him for almost 30 years and I have great trust in him. I have kept nothing from him, whether it is his schedule or business secrets... I thought I was good at judging people, but I didn't expect to be wrong here."

"Oh I got it."

Su Beixun bent down and looked closer at him, nodding with interest.

"Compared to betrayal, you can't accept your own mistakes in judgment... You are a proud person."

Shiro Suzuki remained silent and did not refute.

Su Beixun shook his head: "Xiao Xi Zaojian is a well-known intelligence dealer in the underground world. Disguise is his instinct... Besides, your perception may not be wrong. Maybe when he was in 'Xiao Xi Zaojian', he really trusted you."

"Information dealer?" Suzuki Shiro frowned. "Really? When did it happen?"

When I hired Xiaoxi Zao Zao, I checked his background, but I didn't find any suspicious points!

Su Beixun shrugged.

All I can say is that people who succeed in this field are all capable.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Shiro Suzuki looked down at the timid child beside the chair.

"By the way, this is Jiang Shoujia's grandson, right? I thought he looked familiar just now... Who are you and what is your relationship with Jiang Shoujia?"

"It has nothing to do with you. I'm just a kidnapper who's doing it out of interest." Su Beixun yawned and said perfunctorily.

Suzuki Shiro choked.

He stared at Su Beixun, and after a moment he suddenly said, "How about letting me make a phone call?"

He explained: "After all, Tomoko is just my wife, she doesn't have much power... and there are many people in the consortium who wish I would die."

"If I give the order myself, I will definitely get what you want faster."

Su Beixun chuckled and seemed not to care.

"No, I don't put all my hopes on you."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together on his knees, and he looked very relaxed.

"Suzuki is not a consortium that focuses on the IT industry, and you are one step behind in entering the market. You alone cannot grab Noah's Ark."

Shiro Suzuki understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

"...You mean to say that the one who attacked that AI now is very powerful?"

Su Beixun did not hide it: "Wushuan, have you heard of this surname?"

Suzuki Shiro frowned, "Of course, the richest man in Japan 80 years ago was called Karasuma Ren'ya. Although the Karasuma family gradually disappeared after his death, many assets belonging to the Karasuma family still exist."

"But why do you mention this?"

Su Beixun scratched the dust from his hair, appearing nonchalant.

"The one who competed with me for Noah's Ark was Karasuma Ren!"

"impossible!"

Suzuki Shiro retorted subconsciously.

"If Karasuma Renya is still alive, he would be 140 years old now! How is it possible for a human to live that long?!"

"Well, who knows?" Su Beixun spread his hands: "But it is true that he is alive... If you can go back alive, go find the answer yourself."

Will Suzuki and Karasuma fight for eternal life?
Su Beixun was looking forward to this interesting future.

Shiro Suzuki looked into his eyes, and his expression instantly brightened after confirming that he was not lying.

After a long while, he murmured, "No wonder... If it's really Karasuma Renya, who can hide for so long, then my Suzuki Group may not be a match... But in this case, what's the point of kidnapping me?"

"Haha, there's no need to belittle yourself."

Su Beixun smiled slightly: "Although Suzuki is not a match, I will help you."

"Help...us?!"

The corner of Suzuki Shiro's eye twitched and he emphasized the last two words.

Su Beixun didn't care at all.

He placed his left leg over his right and straightened his back.

Then he said: "After all, this is reality, not a game. If there is no solution on the Internet, then let's solve it directly in reality!"

He licked his dry lips.

He smiled with his fangs showing, "I have already asked Xiaoxi to find the location of the other hacker this morning. I believe that with his ability, it won't be a problem."

"You want to just kill their hacker?!"

“That’s wrong!”

Su Beixun shook his finger with a nasty smile on his face.

“I’m just a pusher.”

"It's not me who has to deal with them, it's Xiaoxi Zaoma!"

##
"That's the way it is."

Suzuki Tomoko turned off the recording and looked at the three people in front of her with a serious expression: "My husband is missing now, and the other party asked me to exchange him with Noah's Ark."

Miwako Sato asked in confusion: "Ms. Suzuki, what exactly is this Noah's Ark?"

“It’s an artificial intelligence.”

Suzuki Tomoko pushed a stack of reports onto the table: "After receiving the call from the other party, I used the power of the consortium to conduct an investigation."

"It is currently known that this is the result of research by the American Syndorra Corporation. The person who directly wrote the program is Hiroki Sawada, a genius who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 12."

"But he jumped to his death a few years ago."

Officer Shiratori took the report and looked at it for a few seconds before asking, "Why did this artificial intelligence appear in Japan?"

"do not know."

Suzuki Tomoko shook her head. "Sindora was attacked by unknown persons half a month ago. It is not clear what happened in between, but judging from the results, this artificial intelligence has come to Japan."

Maori Kogoro scratched his head and asked, "Could this group of unknown people include the person who kidnapped Mr. Suzuki?"

"should not."

The one who answered Maori was Conan who had been following him.

He explained: "I think the kidnappers and the unknown group are competitors, otherwise they can handle it themselves. There is no reason to let the Suzuki Group know this news."

Conan's face was heavy at this time, and he had already vaguely guessed who the two parties were!
The one who attacked the Sindora Company was the Black Organization, and the one who kidnapped Suzuki Shiro was Su Beixun!
But this information is related to Haibara, and Conan has no way of saying it here.
