Conan: Above force, everything is truth!
Chapter 218
The sky was full of smoke, but the weather was very hot.
—— "Huhu, buzz, buzz, buzz"
An hour later, everyone heard a loud noise outside the house and walked out.
Looking at the blue and white helicopter with the words "Metropolitan Police Department" in the sky, everyone suddenly felt "flattered".
After the helicopter landed, Inspector Megure walked down with Officer Gao Mu and others.
After approaching the crowd, Inspector Megure was surprised and said, "Huh? Isn't this Brother Ryuno? And Xiaolan and Sonoko! Why are you here?"
"..."
After a brief greeting, Inspector Megure pressed his hat with his hand: "We received a call from a guy who claimed to be a 'red herring'. What he said on the phone happened to be related to a case at the Beihu Police Station.
Not long ago, someone found the body of Nishiyama Mu in an apartment in Beihu Town. On the computer next to him, there were messages left by the criminal and a signature called 'Kagemusha'. According to the investigation, he was planning to attend a gathering of magic lovers today..."
Hearing this, Miss Tanaka slowly walked out from the crowd: "I'm very sorry, officer, I am the criminal ”
“Oh~ you are the criminal, I know... huh? !”
After answering the woman in front of him casually, Inspector Megure also reacted and looked at Miss Tanaka in surprise: "You are really the criminal? Wait, if that's the case, the case has been solved? !”
Seeing this, Officer Takagi on the side immediately reminded in a low voice: "Inspector, Inspector..."
At the reminder of Officer Takagi, Inspector Megure realized his own gaffe and immediately covered his mouth and said: "Ahem! Sorry. Brother Tatsuno, can you please tell me what happened?"
“Okay, Inspector Megure.”
“…”
After listening to Tatsuno's explanation, Inspector Megure asked everyone some more questions and understood the whole story.
Since the criminal, Miss Tanaka Kikue, confessed what she had done, she had no intention of hiding it.
Therefore, after completing the basic record, Inspector Megure sent Tatsuno and others to the foot of the mountain, and then left by helicopter.
Soon after, Ryuno came to a pizza shop and prepared to have a snack.
When the "spontaneous combustion of the suspension bridge" happened, everyone had only eaten half of their dinner. When everyone returned to the living room, they were affected by the two things "the landline had been destroyed" and "Kaito Kidd was actually next to me", and had long forgotten about eating.
The food on the table had long been cold.
Seeing that the matter was over, Sonoko immediately suggested that they go for a midnight snack together. As soon as the proposal was made, it was agreed by Ryuno and Xiaolan.
"Woo! Huh~ It's delicious!"
"Sonoko, eat slowly~"
Seeing Sonoko swallow half a pizza directly into his mouth, Xiaolan immediately reminded him.
Just after the reminder, Xiaolan remembered what Sonoko said in the afternoon and asked in confusion: "By the way, Sonoko, when you were on the terrace this afternoon, what happened to your sister?"
Hearing this, Sonoko picked up the cup at hand and swallowed the food in her mouth with a large cup of iced barley tea: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot to tell you! Actually, my sister is in big trouble recently!!"
"Big trouble?" X2
"Yes, it's 'blind date'! My sister is about to graduate from graduate school, but she still has no boyfriend. My mother seems to be planning to let my sister go on a blind date with three men from the Tozawa Group..."
Hearing this, Tatsuno and Xiaolan looked at each other and understood the general situation.
Although Sonoko used such an exaggerated word as "big trouble" to describe it, it was actually Sonoko's mother who was going to introduce a partner to her sister.
Next, during Sonoko's "tearful" explanation, Tatsuno and Xiaolan had a deeper understanding of the matter.
The direct member structure of the Suzuki family is very simple, with only Sonoko's father Suzuki Shiro and uncle Suzuki Jirokichi.
Shiro Suzuki has only two daughters, Sonoko and Ayako.
Jiro Suzuki is a man who likes to "travel around the world" and "challenge everywhere". Not to mention daughters, he doesn't even have a partner.
This creates a very serious problem - the Suzuki Group has no obvious male heir.
This problem sounds simple and doesn't seem to be a big problem.
But in fact, wherever there are people, there will be disputes. Not to mention the "organization" of the Suzuki Group that involves huge interests!
As the "leader" of the group, it is not a problem for the Suzuki family to not determine the heir in a short period of time.
After all, Shiro Suzuki and his wife are in good health and can stay in their current positions for a long time.
But if the successor is not determined for a long time... the consortium will inevitably be "unstable" and even produce "chaotic voices"!
Even the "old ministers" who are loyal to the consortium will inevitably have disputes over the issue of successors. In the end, the consortium will definitely be divided into many factions, and everyone wants to support someone who can bring benefits to themselves to take over the consortium.
Over time, the Suzuki Consortium will inevitably collapse from within.
It has nothing to do with loyalty, it's just human nature.
In recent years, Sonoko's parents have obviously realized this problem and are ready to find a "solution" to it.
The simplest of all solutions is to let their daughter's husband take on the "big responsibility" and take over the Suzuki Consortium.
And Sonoko's sister Ayako is the eldest daughter in the family, and her marriage partner is the first choice to inherit the consortium!
At the beginning, Sonoko's mother was not going to interfere in her "marriage issue". As long as her daughter likes, it is her freedom to marry anyone she likes.
Anyway, she and Sonoko's father are not too old, so even if this son-in-law is useless, there are ways to solve it. At most, they can teach this son-in-law to manage the company and cultivate his ability personally.
But what makes Suzuki Tomoko anxious is that her eldest daughter has not found a partner to marry until now. Even she has not even had the simplest love affair at this age!
Suzuki Tomoko also talked about related topics with Sonoko's sister in a roundabout way, but the answers she got were "I don't want to find one" and "I don't have a favorite partner"...
In desperation, Suzuki Tomoko decided to personally select a suitable partner for her.
Since the Suzuki Group and the Tozawa Group have always had a good relationship, the three men of the Tozawa Group were immediately listed by Suzuki Tomoko as the first choice for Ayako's blind date.
...
After listening to Sonoko's statement, Xiaolan asked curiously: "What does Sister Ayako say?"
Sonoko first glanced at Tatsuno quickly, then shook her head and said: "Sister doesn't like that man at all, not to mention that she doesn't want to choose her future husband in this way..."
"That's right..." Hearing this, Xiaolan also nodded and sighed.
Put yourself in their shoes, who would be willing to find a future partner through "blind date"?
What's more, all this is for someone to inherit the consortium...
It's better to say that it's looking for a partner for the "consortium" than to say that it's looking for a partner for yourself.
