The Fourth Calamity

In the next few days, Feng Zhu still didn't go to school, and slipped out with Hong Shu almost every day, and then he simply asked for a period of leave from school.

Oh, of course, Conan still managed to contact Feng Zhu last night, Feng Zhu directly said that he had something to do not come to school recently, and he would avoid suspicious people by himself, so that he didn't have to worry.

"Zujiang just went to school, so you're getting impatient so soon?" Dazai asked curiously, who was listening with his ears up.

"No, I have business to do."

"Business? What business?"

Feng Zhu turned to look at him, showing a smile: "I'm going to make friends."

Dazai and Oda:?

"By the way, Dazai, are you free recently? I have something I want you to help with." Feng Zhu leaned into Dazai's ear and whispered in Dazai's ear for a moment, Dazai's expression was a little surprised, "Okay, it looks very interesting, I also to join~"

"Ah, I'll leave it to you then."

Odasaku: ...What's the matter with this feeling that only you are excluded?

Regardless of the psychological activities of Conan and his parents, Feng Zhu is busy with his plan to win Hong Shu, quietly stealing him out of that prison-like house every day, and then sending him back at night.

After so many repetitions, Hiroki's attitude softened day by day, his personality was much more cheerful than before, and the smiles on his face were more than before.

"It's almost like Romeo and Juliet."

After they escaped from the rich area one day, Hiroki suddenly said with a chuckle.

"Ah?" Feng Zhu had never read Shakespeare's poems, so he looked confused.

"Nothing." Sawada Hiroki shrugged, "Where are we going today?"

"Aquarium, I have booked a ticket."

……

In the blue water, dreamlike jellyfish swim naturally in the water, passing clownfish of different colors beside them. Whenever they swim around, the children around will exclaim.

"It's so beautiful." Feng Zhu said with emotion.

"Well," Hiroki stared blankly at the marine life in the huge tank, and suddenly whispered: "But do you know, for the entire ocean, this place is just a small cage like a fish tank."

"..." Feng Zhu suddenly turned his head to look at him. Is this finally going to be honest with him?

"Zhu," Hong Shu also looked towards Feng Zhu, and the two looked at each other. Repressed pain and sadness flashed across Hong Shu's immature face, "If one day your invention is used wantonly by adults and hurts you, What would you think if there were many people?"

"This kind of thing won't happen." Feng Zhu blurted out.

"If only I could be as confident as you." Sawada Hiroki showed a wry smile, and slowly squatted down, hugging himself like an insecure child, and buried his head between his knees.

No, it should be said that he is a child at his age, and he is too different from Feng Zhu, a hypocrite. He is only a child forced to mature because of the environment.

Feng Zhu hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached him and stood in front of him.

Hong Shu didn't raise his head, and said in a muffled voice, "Zhu, I don't know what to do..."

Feng Zhu looked at him calmly: "Then ask me for help, then I will save you."

"You don't understand, the other party is the Syndora chaebol, the leading Internet capitalist in the United States." Hong Shu shook his head, with a hint of crying in his voice, "I can't escape."

"You also said that it is in the United States." Feng Zhu said flatly, "Are they very strong, do they have a company of armed forces, do they have people with supernatural powers who are strong enough to tear down buildings?"

Hong Shu raised his head to look at Feng Zhu, and was stunned.

Perhaps Feng Zhu himself didn't notice that he had experienced confrontation with the Hong Kong and black forces, hunted down the devil, and served as the second in command of the ghost killing team. On the outside, the inside is the domineering accumulated strength and the coercion of the superior.

The little friend who had been playing with him with a harmless appearance suddenly showed another side. Hiroki almost couldn't recognize that the person in front of him was the same as the person he played with before, subconsciously replied: "No, no .”

"Then there's no need to be afraid of them." Feng Zhu forcefully pulled him up. A 10-year-old boy in Hongshu couldn't match the strength of a younger child, "And Internet leader? They also deserve the word? "

"——If they are the leaders of the Internet, you and I are the masters of the modern Internet. As long as we want to, we can completely subvert the entire Internet world." Feng Zhu raised his chin, "Why should we be afraid of them? They should be afraid of us. Stand tall, Hiroki!"

Feng Zhu's lines were arrogant and domineering, and Hong Shu's blood boiled, and a handful of flames gradually lit up in his numb eyes.

That is the flame of struggle that should have been extinguished, belonging to genius.

"What about the answer?"

Who wants to die by himself if he can live?What's more, at the young age of 10, his life has not yet begun.

Hiroki's eyes that were originally filled with melancholy were astonishingly bright at the moment, and he looked at Feng Zhu's extended hand seriously, slowly but firmly, he held the other's extended helping hand: "Please help me."

"It's easy to say, from today onwards you will be my partner, and I will cover you!" Feng Zhu's smile was bright, and it was worthwhile for him to ask for leave for so many days, and he finally opened Hong Shu's heart.

"About your question, I have a plan..."

On this day, Hiroki returned to the room without being noticed by anyone as usual, but instead of eating obediently in the room, he opened the door and calmly went downstairs to Xindo Pull the front.

"What's the matter? Is there anything I need?" Syndora was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper at the moment, when she saw Hiroki, a stiff smile appeared on her lips.

At this time, the two of them were only one step away from tearing their skins apart. In fact, it was not a shame, but it was just that Sindora had lost the original patience with Hiroki.

If at the beginning, Syndora really regarded Hiroki as a talented and intelligent successor candidate, then since Hiroki discovered his secret, he was just an obstacle that must be eliminated.

He hasn't done anything yet, not because he has bored into Hiroki because of his age, but because Hiroki's brain is still worth a bit, and it's just a matter of patience before using him to get artificial intelligence.

Hiroki also discovered this early on, and his lowered eyes always revealed a sense of melancholy: "Father...Mr. Syndora, can we really not go back to the past?"

He has no intention of tracing this person's secrets at all. The so-called blood relationship seems to him extremely ridiculous. He doesn't even understand why this person cares so much, and even does not hesitate to get rid of him.

At the same time, he felt disheartened to some extent. After knowing his adoptive father's disgust, Hiroki had already terminated his research, but even so, he still felt the change in the atmosphere at home.

When he came back to his senses, he had already fallen into the situation of being supervised.

"Hiroki, go back to sleep." Syndora didn't answer this question, but instead scolded him in a stern tone, "Bodyguard."

"No, I'll go by myself." Hiroki said softly, walked up the stairs, and said softly in a voice that only he could hear without looking back, "Goodbye, Mr. Syndora."

Syndora stared at his small back and disappeared to the second floor, suddenly feeling ominous in her heart.

It seemed that something was about to escape his control.

At this moment, a black Porsche slowly drove into the community.

-

The next day, at noon, Maori Office.

As usual, Uncle Mori sat in his seat smoking a cigarette while watching the news, commenting a few words from time to time, staring at the time next to him, waiting for Miss Yoko's program.

"It's been a few days since I haven't worked. Is it really okay if this continues, Dad?" Xiao Lan took the opportunity to clean up the table messed up by her father.

"It's okay, it's the off-season now, it will be fine after a while." Mori Kogoro stared at the TV screen intently.

"Really." Xiaolan sighed and looked down at Conan, "What would Conan want to eat tonight?"

"I also can."

"I want a beer."

"I know, I know." Xiaolan said helplessly, planning to go to the supermarket later to prepare the ingredients needed tonight.

At this time, the time was finally approaching 12 o'clock, Mori Kogoro resolutely switched the TV station to the news channel, muttering: "I've been waiting~ Miss Yoko!"

"Hi everyone, it's the noon news. Yesterday morning we interviewed Thomas Syndora, the chairman of the Syndora chaebol in the United States. Now let's take a look at the live interview."

On the TV screen, Yoko Okino came to a Western-style villa, Thomas Syndora received her, and then the two went to the living room of the villa to have a talk.

"Why does Mr. Syndora want to come to Japan in the near future?"

"Actually, our company is about to exhibit newly completed project products in the near future. I am very optimistic about the technology and market in Japan, so I came here to investigate in person... At present, our company has successfully reached an agreement with the Suzuki chaebol..."

Mori Kogoro was not interested in these business talks at all, and focused on Okino Yoko: "Miss Yoko's smile is as good as ever~"

"Father is really too..." Xiaolan was quite speechless to her father, this idiotic Yoko, and then she saw Conan, who was not interested in the original, actively squeezed over to watch TV with Maori, and she was in a bad mood. , "Even Conan...Dad, it's all your fault for leading Conan badly."

"Huh?" Mao Li was baffled by the accusation, "You little brat is also at this age."

"No, I'm interested in the Syndora chaebol." Conan was speechless, and then looked at the TV solemnly.

The word Syndora once again awakened the memory of a few days ago. Since seeing Feng Zhu at the doctor's house, Conan has never seen him at school again. Very busy message.

Hiroki, Artificial Intelligence, Black Organization.

The combination of these three words made his detective instincts flutter, and there was always a sense of events that would happen later.

He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless. The so-called detective can only intervene after the incident happened...

"Tuk Tuk"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and just as Xiaolan was about to put down the tray to open the door, Conan jumped off the small bench first: "Sister Xiaolan, I'll open the door!"

The door opened, and a man and a woman in suits and leather shoes were already waiting outside, exuding the aura of elites all over their bodies.

Xiaolan hurriedly welcomed them in, and Mao Li reluctantly left the TV screen and sat on the sofa in the reception room.

"Hello, Maori detective, please allow us to get straight to the point because of the urgent time," the woman spoke quickly, "We would like to issue a request to you, the client is Thomas Syndora, and the content of the request is to assist us in cracking the If you accept the message left by the robber, the entrusted amount is this amount."

The man presented a check, and Mao Li accepted it with a question mark on his face. He took a breath when he saw the number on it, and immediately stopped asking. He grabbed the woman's hand excitedly: "No problem, I'll take it."

"Okay, so time is urgent, let us talk about the rest on the way, please."

It took only 5 minutes for the two of them to enter the Maori Detective Agency. Maori and Xiaolan had already gotten into the car and drove to the client's villa. Conan took the opportunity to follow.

In the car, the woman explained to Maoli the content of the commission in detail. The cause of the incident was that Mr. Sawada Hiroki mysteriously disappeared in the room this morning.

"Have you been kidnapped?" Maori asked with a serious expression.

"That's right, the kidnapper left a message in the room, but he didn't mention any ransom. Our boss thinks it's a bad commercial kidnapping case. Syndora is facing an important stage before the launch of new products. Maybe it's a commercial one. The enemy deliberately kidnapped Master Hiroki."

"Have you called the police?"

"Not yet. The boss doesn't want the police to know about this. There are codes left by the kidnappers at the scene. If you can solve the riddles, you may know something. This is your job."

Hearing that there was no call to the police, Mori Kogoro, a policeman, frowned subconsciously, and emphasized: "It's best to call the police when encountering such a thing, but I understand your concern, so how about I let the police officer I know come in disguise, how about it?" ?”

"You can tell the boss about this, we can't make the decision." The two pushed back.

Mao Li felt depressed, but he had no choice but to wait until the bridge truck arrived.

Syndora came out to receive them in person, with a look of anxiety on her face, she seemed like a normal father worried about the disappearance of her child: "Detective Maori, it's our first meeting. Compared with the situation, you have already heard about it on the way, this time please, Please find my child."

"It's our first meeting, Chairman Syndora, don't worry, I will definitely let Hiroki return safely." Mao Li looked serious, of course, whether it was due to the professionalism of the former policeman or the huge commission, They will make him stand ready.

"Then I'm relieved, by the way, who are these two?" Syndora looked at Xiaolan and Conan who came with Maori, and looked a little unnatural when she saw the children there.

"This is Xiaolan, my daughter. As for this kid, he is staying at my house. His name is Edogawa Conan. He came with me because of an emergency. Don't you mind?"

"It doesn't matter, it's also because my commission is urgent, please feel free to investigate." Syndora nodded.

Mao Lilan and Conan also greeted Xindola. Under Conan's immature childish voice, he analyzed and looked at the business tycoon with a calm gaze.

According to the information Feng Zhu gave at the doctor's house a few days ago, Hiroki Sawada's unfavorable situation came from his guardian, that is, Thomas Syndora in front of him.

But that's just one-sided remarks, Feng Zhu himself said that he was skeptical, and there was no definite conclusion on what kind of person this chairman of Xindola was.

Conan believed in the facts judged by his own eyes even more.

"It seems that this place is not suitable for me to stay, or I'd better leave first."

A young voice came from the second floor, and everyone looked up, only to see a young man with black curly hair and a sand-colored overcoat leaning on the railing on the second floor, looking down at everyone, his handsome face was not inferior to the TV. Celebrity idols on the Internet.

"he is?"

"This is the secretary of the chairman of Tianjie Technology Company, and he is here to discuss the project with me." Xindola briefly introduced that if it was normal, he would definitely not let others see his own scandal, but facing this young man It was an accident.

This morning, when Hongshu was found missing, Xindora was receiving representatives of Tianjie Technology Company. This company has not been in the rise for a long time, but it has technologies that are superior to others in clean energy and graphene. It is like a behemoth swallowing gold. It has generally become the fragrant steamed bun that everyone covets.

These two technologies have no direct connection with the Internet. Syndora himself did not expect to receive an invitation to cooperate with this company, but of course he is not a fool. The rise of this company has been obvious recently. One more A partner is always better than an enemy.

But what was a little unexpected was that the person representing their chairman this time was actually a young man in his early twenties.

Of course, before the two of them officially started negotiating, the bodyguard sent bad news.

Hiroki's matter can be said to be the top priority for Xindola. Originally, he wanted to see off the guests, but the analysis of the code shown by the other party just now is very useful.It's not that she doesn't trust Maori detectives, but Sindora is really anxious and wants to find Hiroki's whereabouts as soon as possible before he tells his secret, or simply kill him.

"I'm sorry, I don't know if you are free in the future. I really need your help in this incident. If you are willing, the reward is this amount." Syndora repeated his old trick and took out a check.

Osamu Dazai took it naturally, without even looking at the numbers: "Mr. Syndora is so good at writing, since this is the case, it is a bit unreasonable for me not to accept it."

"Chairman Syndora, this..." Kogoro Mouri hesitated to speak.

"Ah, don't mind Mr. Mori." Sindora said calmly, "Mr. Dazai also has some ability in deciphering. In order to increase the chances of saving Hiroki, please cooperate."

"That's not a problem." Mori Kogoro said this, and he secretly regarded Dazai as a competitor. As a detective, if he lost to a layman in the speed of solving puzzles, wouldn't it be a sign of failure? Therefore, he must be in Dazai Unlock the password before the cure.

"It's an honor to work with that famous sleeping Kogoro." Dazai had an impeccable smile on his face.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man.

Under Dazai's compliment, Maori couldn't face it badly, and his attitude towards him was a little better.

But Conan didn't. In fact, ever since Osamu Dazai appeared, his detective intuition was faintly reminding him that there was something wrong with this person.

From this young man, he felt an aura similar to that of a member of the black organization, which is the aura that only those who have been in the dark all year round will have.

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai noticed Conan's gaze sensitively, and squatted down, "Are you the child of Mr. Mori?"

"How is it possible, this is just a kid borrowed from my house." Mori Kogoro quickly denied, "He also likes to run around while I'm working on a case, which is very troublesome."

"Really." Osamu Dazai smiled at him, and patted his head affectionately, "If you want to see big brother, you don't have to peek, I don't mind."

"...Okay, okay." Conan responded weakly, acting like a kid who felt guilty after being caught peeping, full of acting skills.

"Sorry." Mao Lilan also apologized.

"It's okay, well, let's go to see the scene where Hiroki disappeared first." Dazai Osamu said lightly.

The group moved to Hiroki's room on the second floor.

The room on the second floor is very spacious, but there are few personal items. The most conspicuous one is the workbench with three screens in the middle.

Syndora had people protect the scene before, so there is no difference between here and when it was first discovered. Mao Li looked around: "Where is the code left by the robber?"

"Here." Osamu Dazai, with gloves on, picked up an unpacked letter. Kogoro Mori took it and opened it, his face getting more and more serious.

This is obviously a threatening letter, with words taken from the newspaper, written one by one:

[You know what you have done, and you will definitely pay for it, but revenge like this is too boring, I want to play a game with you, if you have any regrets, come to me here, if you can Reaching the finish line before six o'clock, Hiroki's life is naturally not in danger. 】

After that was attached a map full of '×' marks and codes.

"This is..." Mori Kogoro looked ugly. The kidnappers who don't ask for ransom are the most difficult to deal with, because they don't ask for money. In this case, the chances of the hostages being rescued are very slim.

"I still recommend calling the police. In this case, with the help of the police, we can be more sure of tracking the movements of the robbers."

Syndora frowned: "But..."

Osamu Dazai suddenly interrupted him: "This is a bit difficult. Syndora Company will release an important new product in the near future. If the heir disappears at this time, if news of revenge from the enemy comes out, the stock price of Syndora Company will It will decline, and other partners will also doubt the cooperation with the company."

Maori got a little angry: "No matter what, it can't compare to a child's life!"

Syndora remained silent.

"Besides, if you call the police at this time, maybe the kidnappers will be angered and they will tear up their tickets on the spot."

"That's a problem."

"Call the police." Syndora suddenly said with a heavy tone, "The longer it drags on, the less sure Hiroki's life will be. Compared with him, the stock market is not important at all."

"Mr. Thomas," Mori Kogoro was a little moved, "You are such a good father."

"Of course, I have always treated Hiroki as my own son." Sindora smiled.

But he was praying silently in his heart, hoping that those kidnappers would be offended and tear up their tickets directly, so that he would not have to bother to find Hongshu back.

Although it is a pity to lose a genius like this, compared with his secrets, it is not impossible to sacrifice.

Mori Kogoro didn't see the shadowy eyes behind Sindora.

Conan, who was always watching Sindora, noticed it, and his heart shuddered. The incident this time was really not that simple.

The missing Hiroki, the mysterious Osamu Dazai, and the treacherous Syndora, the mysterious organization behind it.

The truth of this incident - who is it that kidnapped Hiroki?

The author has something to say: Inexplicably, I feel that the lyrics fit the content of these chapters, so I confidently used
