Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 156 Xiaolan made a blushing and heart-pounding wish
Suzuki Sonoko took out her cell phone again and took a look at it.

There were more than a dozen call records to Haruhiko on the phone screen, but he didn't answer any of them.

Just as the ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin, this guy suddenly disappeared.

This made Yuanzi a little unhappy.

It’s not that he has to be there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but mainly because Sonoko’s expression looked a little unnatural when she recalled Haruhiko mentioning chatting with that acquaintance just now.

A woman in love always has a strong intuition that is almost animal instinct.

Relying on this intuition, Sonoko keenly realized that the woman whom Haruhiko called just a friend definitely had a relationship with him that went beyond ordinary friendship.

At this time, Haruhiko's sudden decision not to answer the phone would easily lead Suzuki Sonoko to make a bad guess.

Could it be that this guy is going to have a tryst with that woman again?
What a hateful guy! I clearly took advantage of him just now, but he still thinks it’s not enough.

If that bastard knocks on her door again at night, she will definitely not open the door for him. Well... at least make him stand outside the door for 20 minutes. Sonoko has already thought of the punishment in her mind.

Sonoko clutched her phone, her face brimming with anger. Her presence emanated a chilling aura, causing several guests who had hoped to become acquainted with the Suzuki Group's daughter to hesitate in approaching her.

But I can't contact Haruhiko now, so someone will have to take the empty seat next to her when the cutting is done later.

After thinking about it, Yuanzi decided that Xiaolan was the only one who could take over.

Suzuki Sonoko found Xiaolan in the crowd and explained the situation to her.

"Of course you can." Mao Lilan seemed worried. "Have you seen Conan? I don't know where he ran off to. I called him but he didn't answer."

Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about that brat. He must have gone somewhere to play. But it's really abominable that he didn't answer the phone. When he comes back, I'll punish him by making him do three holiday homework assignments."

It seems that Yuanzi's tolerance for people who don't answer the phone has dropped to the lowest level.

Mao Lilan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that serious."

"Okay, let's go. I'll tell you the specific process first." Sonoko pulled Mouri Ran to the back of the temporary stage.

For such an important ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Suzuki family naturally invited many heavyweights to attend, and Watanabe Daiki's family also helped to make connections and introduced many new faces.

In addition to inviting Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro, Suzuki Sonoko also invited Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

However, Hattori Heiji didn't seem to be at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, leaving Kazuha standing there alone, looking unhappy.

Next to her was Watanabe Daiki, who had previously failed to confess his love to Sonoko. Unexpectedly, he now shifted his target to Toyama Kazuha.

However, judging from the gradually becoming obvious #-shaped blue veins on Kazuha's forehead, if Watanabe Daiki does not restrain himself, his ending will probably not be very good.

At this moment, the door to the hall was pushed open.

Waiters in work clothes slowly entered the hall pushing a cart that looked like a wine tower.

The guests who were standing and chatting near the door took the lead and walked over to take out their wine glasses, ready to raise their glasses to celebrate when the ribbon-cutting ceremony began.

This was also a part that had been arranged before.

Normally, the waiters should be serving the guests at this time, but the waiters who came with the cart stood against the wall, far away from the cart.

Suzuki Jiroyoshi frowned when he noticed this little detail. He was just about to ask his assistant to go over and ask what was going on.

boom!
The cart filled with fine wine exploded.

The sudden explosion startled everyone present.

Everyone's eyes fell on the direction where the explosion came from, and then after seeing the body fragments on the ground, louder exclamations and screams echoed in the banquet hall one after another.

Blood mixed with broken glass spilled onto the hall floor, and the soft music that had been surrounding the venue disappeared in an instant.

Just when the scene was in chaos.

The sound of submachine gun bullets pouring down on the ceiling temporarily suppressed the screams at the scene.

Then, a waiter in a hotel uniform walked up to the crowd and said with a smile, "Sorry to interrupt everyone's fun. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kobayashi Taizo, and I'm the initiator of this operation..."

Kobayashi Taizo began his speech as if no one was around.

Several armed gangsters who came in with Kobayashi Taizo guarded the surroundings, forcing everyone to listen to his speech obediently.

However, it stands to reason that with such a loud noise, the security personnel should have rushed over immediately, but the criminals talked for several minutes and no one came.

Suddenly, a bad premonition enveloped everyone's heart.

"Okay, that's all I have to say." After a few minutes, Kobayashi Taizo ended his speech.

As the owner of this place, Suzuki Jirokichi walked towards the other party with a gloomy face: "Who are you? Do you know the serious consequences of doing this?"

However, Suzuki Jirokichi did not walk directly towards the criminals.

He first took off his coat that was accidentally splashed with blood, put it on the stool near the left side of the hall, and then walked towards Kobayashi Taizo along the left wall.

Unexpectedly, Taizo Kobayashi, who was dressed as a waiter, took the initiative to step forward and blocked Jiro Suzuki's way in advance.

"Do you want to activate the emergency response device here?" Taizo Kobayashi pointed to the part of an orange in the oil painting hanging on the wall.

Suzuki Jirokichi's pupils widened instantly and the expression on his face became very ugly.

At this time, the people around him suddenly realized that Suzuki Jirokichi deliberately took off his clothes in order to change his route so that he would have a chance to touch the switch of the emergency response device on the mural.

But I didn't expect that the other party would see through it.

"What do you want?" Suzuki Jirokichi asked in a deep voice.

"I just hope you can cooperate with me and not cause me trouble. I will promise not to hurt anyone here." said Taizo Kobayashi.

This sentence is not very convincing and does not give people much sense of security.

Because the small bomb just now had already injured several people, Suzuki Jirokichi just took a quick look and found that the bloated thigh that fell at the door, if he guessed correctly, should have been left by Congressman Naoya Mitsui who liked to brag about how good he was in bed.

Although Councillor Mitsui's personality is not very likable, the power behind him cannot be underestimated.

In other words, up to now, the Suzuki family has gotten into big trouble with a congressman dying here.

I don’t know if things will continue to develop and what even more unpredictable things will happen.

Seeing that no one spoke, Kobayashi Taizo continued, "It seems that everyone doesn't trust me very much. In that case, I will show my sincerity."

As he spoke, he made an unexpected move.

Kobayashi Taizo actually reached out for the trigger button on the wall.

The highlighted orange part of the painting was pressed in.

Immediately afterwards, there was a mechanical roar around.

But after waiting for a long time, the security system did not activate as Suzuki Jirokichi had expected.

"Impossible! How could you possibly hijack the world's most advanced security system?" Suzuki Jirokichi's face was filled with disbelief. Kobayashi Taizo smiled and said, "Mr. Suzuki, even the most powerful systems are still built by people. It just so happens that our people are a little more capable than the ones who built this defense system."

Suzuki Jirokichi clenched his fists, and the joints lost color from the excessive force.

"Okay, my sincerity has been conveyed. If something happens to make me unhappy again, don't blame me." After saying this, Kobayashi Taizo asked his men to escort everyone to Suzuki Jirokichi's office.

This office is very large and looks as luxurious as a presidential suite. The only strange thing is that there are pictures of Kaito Kidd on the wall, from all angles.

If someone doesn’t know the inside story, they might think the owner here is a fan of Kaito Kid.

There is also a small lounge in the office, which is a very common configuration. There is a bed in it where people can catch up on some sleep.

But now the door of the lounge was half open, and through the gap in the door one could see that the floor of the lounge, which was not very big to begin with, was piled with strange black machines.

A tall man with a somewhat rough appearance was concentrating on operating the machine in front of him.

If I'm not mistaken, the criminals used these machines to hack into the operating system of the Suzuki Building.

As soon as he entered the door, Taizo Kobayashi pulled out a gun, pointed it at Jiro Suzuki's forehead, and asked him to hand over the controller that controlled the building system.

Of course, Suzuki Jirokichi refused to agree. He guessed that the other party might not be able to control the security system of the entire building through technical means, so he wanted the controller in his hand.

However, Kobayashi Taizo didn't waste any time and shot and killed the two unlucky guys. The blood splattered on Watanabe Daiki's face, scaring him so much that he peed.

When the other party moved the gun towards Suzuki Sonoko, Suzuki Jirokichi finally compromised.

After Kobayashi Taizo got the controller, he walked into the lounge and tossed it to his men: "How is it? How long will it take?"

Ah Tian plugged the controller into the black machine and said with a bright smile, "About ten."

"Hurry up, the Metropolitan Police Department should be able to react soon." said Taizo Kobayashi.

A Tian nodded and started to operate on the interface.

The office was then divided into two parts, and the hostages stayed near the door and were asked to squat on the ground and not get up.

The criminals were mostly distributed in the inner area. The lounge was occupied by the big man. The door was half-open, and the sounds of typing on keyboards and machines running could be heard from inside.

Suzuki Sonoko held Xiaolan's hand tightly, and she was extremely scared.

On the one hand, she was worried that this group of criminals would do something bad to them, and on the other hand, because of the appearance of the criminals, the fact that she had called Haruhiko before but he had never answered the phone suddenly had another possibility.

Could it be that he encountered a gangster?
But he is so powerful, it shouldn't be that easy to catch him, right?
But Sonoko thought again, the other party has a gun. No matter how powerful Haruhiko is, he can't fight against a gangster with a gun, right?
When Suzuki Sonoko thought of this possibility, she became extremely panicked.

Ran Mao Li, who was standing by, felt Sonoko's trembling little hand, and her heart was also infected with uneasy emotions.

In addition to worrying about Haruhiko, she was also a little worried about Conan.

That guy usually likes to play detective games. Could it be that this time he discovered the whereabouts of the criminals, chased them, but was discovered by the other party, so he couldn't answer the phone?

But Conan is just a kid, the criminals shouldn't make things too difficult for him, right?
Xiaolan comforted herself in her heart, but the uneasiness always hung over her heart.

But there is no good solution at the moment. Although she has karate skills, the other party is holding guns, and there are quite a few of them. No matter how powerful she is, she cannot use karate to directly fight against firearms.

What would happen if Shinichi were here?

This thought suddenly popped up in Xiaolan's mind.

Shinichi will definitely find a way, right? Even though his fighting ability is not even a fraction of hers, that guy is so smart that he will definitely come up with a solution at this time, right?
but……

How long had it been since that damned reasoning geek appeared before her? She seemed to have never seen him since that amusement park trip, except for a few phone calls.

And every time they talked on the phone, just when she wanted to talk about some intimate topics, the bastard always hung up the phone in a hurry.

What a bastard!
He only knows how to reason and solve cases, has no idea what girls are thinking, and loves to act cool and feel good about himself. He's a big jerk!!

but……

If you can come and rescue me and Yuanzi this time, I will forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye.

Xiaolan secretly made a wish in her heart.

Then she seemed to feel that if Shinichi could really save them all, simply forgiving him for leaving without saying goodbye seemed too light.

So Xiaolan secretly added another "additional condition" in her mind, which made her blush and her heart beat fast just thinking about it, and she was so shy that she clasped her toes together.

Although that would seem too proactive.

However, if he can really rescue everyone, it wouldn't be a big deal to give him some advantage.

At this moment, cheers came from the criminals' side.

Judging from the excited expressions on their faces, there must have been a major breakthrough, but so far it is still unknown what the criminals' exact intentions are.

The man named Taizo Kobayashi picked up the intercom and confirmed the situation in other parts of the building one by one.

Judging from the content of their conversation, this group of people should have almost taken control of the Suzuki Building and turned on the signal jamming equipment.

Apart from their own devices, no one has any way to communicate with the outside world, not even inside the building.

Because the defense system was shut down, people outside had no way of knowing what had happened in the building for a short period of time. They probably thought that the Suzuki Group cut off all signals to the outside world in order to demonstrate its security system.

Taizo Kobayashi held up the communication equipment and paced around the room, confirming the status of each control area in turn.

First floor lobby...

meeting room……

Guest room area...

Swimming pool...

When he called to the dining area, he got no response after calling several times.

"What's going on, Sato Masao?" Kobayashi Taizo said in a hurried tone.

At this time, the intercom made a harsh crackling sound.

Then, there was finally a response from the intercom, but it was a strange voice that Kobayashi Taizo had never heard before: "Although I don't know who you are, your men have been wiped out, cough... cough..."

The other person's tone was a little weak, and he couldn't help coughing.

Kobayashi Taizo stood there holding the communication device, as if trying to digest the other party's words.

But this voice was like a shot of adrenaline for Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran, making them almost jump up with excitement.

The two looked at each other and saw surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Because they immediately realized that the voice on the other end of the intercom was Haruhiko Kousaka.
