Chapter 88 You Win, Detective
Time seems to have stopped!
Perhaps because of the rain, Conan's body was very cold.
"Su Bei...Xun?"
He blurted it out without realizing it.
Su Beixun also nodded politely in return: "It's me."
The white umbrella was blown away by the wind.
Conan came to his senses and immediately shot out the anesthetic needle in his watch!
But with a ding sound, the black umbrella handle blocked it!
The continuous rain caused a layer of white mist to rise on the ground. In this vast rainy night, Su Beixun said, "Detective, do you want to catch me with these toys? Anesthesia needles, enhanced shoes... It's no different from last time."
He put his hands in his pockets, and the strong wind blew the hem of his black clothes. "Just to be clear, I am not your playmate. Your toys have no effect on me."
"hateful!"
Of course Conan didn't listen.
He squatted down and started his shoes, then looked around but found nothing to kick with.
So he jumped up and raised his foot to aim at Su Beixun's lower abdomen!
but!
A sizzling sound
A blue-white flash of lightning passed by!
Conan covered his legs and half-knelt on the ground with a painful look on his face.
"Look."
Su Beixun showed him what he had in his hand.
It was a long black object, and as he pushed it with his fingers, crackling arcs of electricity flashed continuously.
It's a stun gun!
Conan pressed his hands to the ground, supporting his gradually weakening body.
"Even if you can't get a gun, can't you carry this thing with you? It's much more useful than your thing."
Su Beixun tossed the things up and down, then put them back into his pocket.
Conan asked: "What is your purpose here? Are you here to avenge... Kazama Satoru?"
In just one sentence, he gasped three times!
"I came here specially to see you."
Su Beixun squatted down and covered Conan's soaked body with the umbrella.
"……see me?"
"correct."
Su Beixun smiled and reached out to touch his head: "I'm here to praise you, great detective, you're doing a great job!"
Conan turned his head away in disgust, his expression angry: "Are you mocking me? Or are you proud of what you did?!"
"No, no, no, I really mean it."
Su Beixun smiled: "Even if I sacrificed Asakura Songming, I still couldn't let Fengjian Wu drag it until the end of Ishikawa Kamiji's trial..."
"Moreover, the action was decisive and the confidentiality was excellent. I didn't know what had happened until the dust settled."
Conan's vision gradually blurred, and he shook his head: "So... you have someone in the police station... Who is it?! Who is it?!"
"You need to find it yourself."
Su Beixun stood up, and the wind and rain fell on Conan again, but this made his dizzy mind clear up immediately.
"But don't worry. I won't be staying in Hokkaido from now on. You don't have to care too much about his identity."
A light slowly expanded from afar to here, and the sound of a car engine gradually became clearer.
Su Beixun turned and walked into the hazy rain.
"……wait wait wait!"
Conan tried to chase after him, but ended up falling to the ground in embarrassment.
Amid the sound of rain, Su Beixun's vague voice was heard.
"You know what? In my original script, Kazama Satoru would be dissatisfied with Ishikawa Joji's decision, so he decided to exchange his life for another's and storm the police station."
"But you found him ahead of time, and ended the whole play at its climax."
"but……"
"Not bad!"
"The transformation of a famous detective..."
“It’s also a wonderful show.”
The heavy rain shattered Su Beixun's figure.
Conan could see nothing.
But that exclamatory compliment was still carried into his ears by the wind.
"You win this time... Great Detective."
——Can this be called winning?!
Conan clenched his fists unwillingly until he fainted in the cold rain.
After a long time of passing taxis, someone finally spotted him...
##
Time flies.
"Have you decided?"
Half a month later, before taking a plane to the United States, Kudo Yusaku asked this question while sitting in a wheelchair.
"Yeah! I'll stay and catch him."
Conan nodded, then felt a little guilty.
"I'm sorry Dad, I can't be with you at a time like this."
"It's ok."
Kudo Yusaku smiled gently. He turned to look at Kudo Yukiko who was standing next to the wheelchair and said, "Isn't your mother here? It's going to be okay!"
Kudo Yukiko, who has recovered, has also returned to her normal personality: "Don't worry! I will definitely make your father fat and white... Moreover, after sending the medical records to the doctor in the United States, he said there is still a good chance that your father can stand up again."
"Really? That's great!"
Conan became excited, but before he was about to say something, the airport broadcast sounded.
"Then we'll leave first. I'll call you when we get to America!"
Yukiko Kudo waved to them and pushed her wheelchair towards the plane.
Conan watched them quietly.
"correct!"
Halfway through the walk, Kudo Yusaku suddenly turned around and said: "In my next novel, I will create a villain based on Asakura Takaaki, which may be helpful in promoting the Child Protection Law... Remember to read it."
"Eh?!"
Conan was surprised: "Dad...are you okay?"
Kudo Yusaku smiled generously: "It doesn't affect me. Besides, I really got a lot of inspiration from this trip. I can't wait to go back."
Soon, they followed the crowd and disappeared into the cabin.
The plane took off, leaving a white trail in the sky.
"Lan, when are our tickets?"
Xiaolan said, "It's 2:30 tomorrow afternoon."
Conan looked up: "We still have a day and a half left, do you want to go shopping together?"
Xiaolan has been following him between the police station and the crime scene for so long in Hokkaido... He doesn't want this trip to Hokkaido to be filled with only bad memories.
Xiaolan smiled gently and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me. Don't you have things to do?"
"no need."
Conan shook his head.
Ever since he met Su Beixun that night, he had been investigating who in the police station passed the information to the other party, but fifteen days had passed and there had been no results.
Since nothing could be found out in a short period of time, he didn't plan to stay in Hokkaido any longer.
"It's almost noon. I heard there's a famous Asahikawa BBQ restaurant nearby. Do you want to go and try it together?"
Conan made another invitation.
##
A relatively luxurious independent building in Hokkaido.
A teenager who just came back from school put down his schoolbag.
He was wearing all black and a silver wolf head necklace, looking very fashionable. He was just about to go to the kitchen to heat up his lunch box.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
I opened the door and saw a middle-aged man in a suit outside.
He bent down slightly and said, "Is it Master Jiang Shou?"
The boy named Jiang Mingyu was a little confused: "You are..."
"My name is Sakai Akiwa, and I'm Mr. Jiang Mingzhe Tetsunosuke's personal butler."
He pulled out a business card from his pocket and handed it over with both hands: "I heard that three days ago, your grandfather Jiang Shouze unfortunately fell into the sea while sailing."
"Mr. Jiang Shouzhe was worried that you couldn't take care of yourself, so he sent me here to take you back to Tokyo."
Hearing that name, the boy's expression was a little complicated: "Did... my fourth grandfather ask you to come?"
Sakai Akiwa nodded and said quickly: "Don't worry, although Master Tetsunosuke and Master Ze had some conflicts when they were young, he still cares about you very much."
"He even took the initiative to mobilize the family's power to search for Master Ze who fell into the sea during these three days. When he couldn't find him, he immediately sent me to see you."
Seeing that the boy was still hesitant, Sakai Akiwa continued, "Master Tetsunosuke said that if you really don't want to, he can understand... He will give you a large sum of money every year until you graduate from university and take over some of the work of the Jiangshou Foundation."
The young man looked shaken, with some emotion in his eyes.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to go back to Tokyo with you."
Sakai Akiwa showed his signature smile: "Master will be happy if he knows!"
The boy asked, "When are we leaving?"
"If you don't have anything to bring... now!"
Sakai Akiwa replied: "The plane is parked nearby. I will send someone to say hello to the school later. You don't have to worry about these."
The boy thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go pack some clothes."
"Do you need my help?"
"No, it will be done soon!"
After saying that, he turned and went back to the house.
Less than 20 minutes later, he returned with a small suitcase and said with a smile, "Mr. Sakai, it's done."
Sakai Akiwa bowed again: "Please follow me."
Then lead the way.
The boy followed him and soon saw a helicopter in a wasteland.
Sakai Akiwa first opened the door and helped the boy in, then he sat in the driver's seat himself.
The boy was a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Can you fly a helicopter?"
Sakai Akiwa smiled confidently: "I have been flying helicopters for more than 20 years, young master, you don't have to worry."
soon.
With the propellers humming, the helicopter flew up into the blue sky.
##
Tokyo, a luxurious villa area with gardens, swimming pools and fountains.
An old man wearing round-frame glasses, with only black hair left on his temples, was sitting in the study processing documents for the consortium.
He is thin and has a slightly mean face, giving people the impression that he is not easy to get along with.
This is the current head of Jiang Shou Group, Jiang Shouzhe's assistant.
In Japan, although the Jiangshou Group cannot be compared with the top groups, it is still well-known in the financial and banking fields.
However, in recent years, affected by Japan's gradually declining economy, the Jiang Shou Group has inevitably begun to decline.
In order to reverse the decline, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke introduced a series of new strategies. In addition to the part of the industries that he had divided up during the turmoil of the Jianggu Group, he is now so busy that he has to eat and live in the study.
He glanced at the watch on his wrist.
Jiang Shouzuru put down the tea in his hand and said to Jiang Shouyi who was standing beside him: "Calculate the time, Jiang Shouyuzuru's kid should be here soon, you go and arrange his accommodation... Remember, everything should be done in the best way!"
Jiang Shouyi nodded: "I understand, father."
After saying that, he slowly opened the door and went to find Jiang Shou's maid.
Jiang Shouzhe stretched his aching waist and continued to bury his head in the documents on the table.
But it didn't take long for him to calm down.
Then I heard the study door being pushed open with a "bang", and the solid wooden door collided with the wall with a loud noise.
Jiang Shouzhe's assistant shuddered, leaving ugly ink marks on the white paper.
He raised his head with a frown, but immediately relaxed when he saw the person coming.
A little fat boy rushed towards him happily: "Grandpa, I'm done with school!"
Jiang Shouzhezhisuke had a hint of joy in his eyes, but he still pretended to be stern and frowned: "Grandpa is working, don't be so reckless next time! After all, you are the heir of the Jiang Shou Group, you must maintain your dignity no matter where you are!"
"Oh……"
Jiang Shouhuang pretended to be aggrieved and stood still obediently, but he was not afraid.
Jiang Shouzhezhisuke often said such things, but he never got angry about it.
Jiang Shouzhezhisuke doted on his only grandson very much. Before he could scold him, he took out a piece of candy from the drawer next to the study and handed it to him.
Jiang Shouhuang took it, unwrapped it and threw it into his mouth, mumbling, "By the way, Grandpa, I just saw Dad had someone clean up a new room. Is anyone coming?"
"Correct."
Knowing that he couldn't work, Jiang Mingzhe simply put the documents away and said, "He's your cousin, Jiang Mingzhe Yuzuru... His grandfather is my second brother. He accidentally fell into the sea while sailing a few days ago. The child has no other relatives, so I took him in."
The little fat boy scratched his chin and said, "Grandpa's second brother? I remember you mentioned him when you told me a bedtime story... He was the bad guy who fought with you for the family property!"
Jiang Shouzhezhisuke's face turned red and he coughed dryly: "Yes, that's right, it's him!"
The old man picked up the tea to hide his embarrassment.
Actually, if you really think about it, he is the bad guy.
His second brother Jiang Shouze was a very arrogant man. He had a very high opinion of himself at the time and did not bother to use any conspiracy or tricks when fighting for the family property. Then he was taken advantage of by Jiang Shouzhezhisuke who used conspiracy and tricks.
But even so, Jiang Shouze was still very confident and did not make any moves when handing over the assets. As a result, Jiang Shouzhe's assistant was able to take over the consortium safely.
Therefore, he has always felt guilty towards Jiang Shouze.
After Jiang Mori's death, the guilt naturally fell on his only descendant, Jiang Mori Yuzuru.
At this time, another dignified lady knocked on the already opened door and then walked in.
"I'm so sorry, Dad. The kid ran to you as soon as he came back, and I didn't stop him, so he disturbed your work."
Then she glared at the fat boy who was hiding behind Jiang Shouzunosuke: "Jiang Shou Huang, come here quickly!"
"Your mother is calling you, go quickly."
Jiang Mingzhe patted Jiang Mingzhe's butt.
The little fat boy walked over timidly and stood obediently beside the lady.
"Then you go ahead and do your work, Dad. I'll take him to meet Yuzuru, and then we'll come see you together."
Jiang Shouzhe nodded with a smile.
He was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law, who came from the prominent Ogura family, had a gentle personality, was well-educated, and cared very much about the children's education.
Jiang Mingzhe knew that his doting was not good for his grandson's growth, so when it came to educating Jiang Mingzhe, he always followed the example of Ogura Junka.
The lady closed the study door quietly.
After this incident, Jiang Shouzhezhisuke no longer had the heart to deal with the documents. He stood up, opened the window, and looked at the vast sky in the distance to relax.
Suddenly, at the border where the blue sky and white clouds intersected, a helicopter slowly grew from a small black dot in his eyes, and then rolled up with a strong wind and landed on the exclusive helipad of the villa area.
he knows.
Yuzuru Jiang Ming has finally arrived!
but……
He doesn't know...
Come on people!
It’s Su Beixun!
The story of Hokkaido is over, and the next big storyline will be Noah's Ark, but there will be a transition in between.
After Noah's Ark comes the decisive battle.
