Chaoguang

Chapter 101 Good Night
Genichiro Sanada raised his arm to wipe off the sweat on his face casually, "Why did it touch the railing?"

Sanada Ling: "There was a quarrel. I didn't pay attention. I was hit by someone. When I was backing, I hit the railing. Who knew it would break."

On such a big occasion, how could there be such a mistake, the location of the break is so strange, this is still the third floor.

Moreover, she had discovered earlier that the man and woman who had been arguing fiercely had disappeared.

No matter how timid and fearful people are, they never slipped away so fast. No matter how they are in public places, they have to save some face. It is unreasonable for such a sudden quarrel to disappear suddenly.

More importantly, Sanada Ling glanced around, looking at the group of people in front of her.

The only son of the Atobe Zaibatsu, the only son of the Tezuka family, the second daughter of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, the eldest daughter of the Nishimura family, and herself, the eldest daughter of the Sanada family.

Whenever something happens to someone, it will cause an uproar, and no force will let it go.

Sanada Ling didn't almost have an accident, but she had already fallen out and was saved by her own ability.

But if it was her before, it would be a dead end.

If something happened to her here today, with these few people present, the consequences are still unknown.

The question now is whether this accident was aimed at her, or someone, or a random person in this group.

After all, it was a coincidence that she appeared here today. If it was her, she would definitely not choose to come to the art exhibition.

Sanada Ling looked at Keigo Atobe, "Senior Atobe, who knows about your visit to the art exhibition today?"

Atobe Keigo was stunned, "What do you mean? You doubt."

Sanada Ling shrugged her shoulders slightly, she has nothing to doubt now, "It's nothing, just ask casually."

Keigo Atobe was about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice behind him.

"Ling! Sanada Ling!"

The crowd moved away, and Sanada Ling also saw the person running towards her, surprised, "Brother!"

Gentaro Sanada ran over in a hurry, breathless, and pressed her shoulder, "What's the matter, are you okay, are you the one who fell just now? How are you?"

Sanada Ling hurriedly comforted, "Take a deep breath, take a breath, take your time, I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry."

I repeated the explanation just now, but it was a bit of a headache, and I probably had to explain it when I got home.

Gentaro Sanada listened to these remarks, walked to the broken railing, carefully looked at the break, pressed his fingertips on it, rubbed his index finger and thumb lightly, and smelled it again. There was a pungent smell of chemical reagents, this is, Traces of acidic corrosion solutions.

What happened today was not an accident, it was man-made!
Gentaro Sanada frowned, which was more irritating than the accident, "Xianichiro, you take Ling home now, and I will stay and deal with the matter with the police."

After all, he is a policeman in Kanagawa, and he cannot directly investigate the matter across the local police.

"I see, I'll take her back right away."

Sanada Genichiro also realized that this matter was unusual, he pulled Sanada Ling and was about to leave, but he didn't.

"what happened?"

Sanada Ling pursed her lips slightly, and pointed at the person below who was still taking pictures. Originally, filming was strictly prohibited in the art exhibition, but now the staff can't control the situation anymore.

"I don't want my face on the internet or in the newspapers."

She doesn't like to be the talk of people after dinner.

Atobe Keigo immediately said, "I'll take care of it, and I'll take care of everything after that, and I won't let you appear in public."

Sanada Ling nodded, "Okay, sorry to trouble you."

Atobe Keigo realized later that Sanada Ling's expression hadn't changed a single bit from the thrill just now to the present safety, and her indifferent pupils were exactly the same as when she first arrived in Tokyo.

Sanada Ling waved his hand at him, then greeted the others to leave, and went downstairs along with Sanada Genichiro's strength.

It's just that at the corner of the stairs, I saw Kudou standing against the wall, and blinked at him. It's not convenient for her to move now, so I'll leave the rest to you. Go back to the call union.

Kudo Shinichi nodded invisibly, and walked towards Mao Lilan.

"Sister Xiaolan."

"Conan!" Mao Lilan hurriedly grabbed him, "Where did you go again? It's such a mess here, don't run around alone."

"I see, Sister Xiaolan."

Suzuki Sonoko glanced at him, "Don't worry, Lan, nothing will happen to this little devil."

Mao Lilan sighed, "Yuanzi!"

Kudo ignored Sonoko's words this time, and looked at the oil painting on the wall called "Hope", which was facing the broken railing.

Kudo Shinichi's eyes darkened when he saw this almost blood-stained picture, so is it because of this picture that you didn't notice the movement around you, Sanada Rei?
He was too aware of Sanada Ling's force value, how could she not react when others bumped into her, unless her mind was completely out of shape.

So, Rei Sanada, what are you thinking when you look at this painting?
Genichiro Sanada naturally ignored the kid who appeared here, and he didn't even notice him.

When he was about to go out, Sanada Ling signaled him to stop, the phone was broken and he couldn't take it, the phone card had to be retrieved.

Sure enough, as soon as Sanada Ling arrived at the entrance, before she changed her shoes, Mrs. Sanada came out with a worried look on her face, "What's going on? Why did you fall down the stairs in a good way? How are you, Ling? Injured? Scared?"

Sanadaling held Auntie's arm, "Auntie, I'm fine, really, I'm fine, don't worry."

Mrs. Sanada was still worried, "Come in quickly, Grandpa has been waiting for you to come back after he found out, so go over quickly."

Sanada Ling and Sanada Genichiro speeded up and hurried over. The old man was already waiting on the chair, and even the newspapers he usually read were put aside.

Sanada Ling: "Sorry grandpa, I made you worry, I'm fine."

Master Sanada beckoned people to sit down, "What happened to the painting exhibition?"

Sanada Ling sighed in her heart. To be honest, she didn't want the elders in her family to know these bad things. Apart from being difficult to explain, it would also make them worry. After all, she is not a real child. report worry.

But today I was caught in the face, not only Genichiro Sanada was there, but my elder brother was also there!
She was really wronged today, she didn't cause this incident on purpose, she was a pure victim this time, it was an innocent disaster.

Sanada Ling repeated the situation as simply as possible, "I was looking at a painting, someone was fighting, he bumped into me, and when he was backing, he hit the railing, the railing broke, and I fell over."

Even if Mrs. Sanada knew the reason beforehand, she still felt terrified when she heard it again, "Did someone catch you?"

Sanada Ling shook her head, but that was not the case, "There is a gap under the railing, my foot hooked it, and it didn't fall."

"Then did your foot hurt?" Mrs. Sanada lowered her head and was about to look at her foot.

Sanada Ling hurriedly said, "It's all right, nothing at all."

It's true, she was numb for a while when she first went up, but now she doesn't feel it anymore.

Sanada Panshi quietly watched his granddaughter talking with his daughter-in-law, and looked at the same expression on his granddaughter's face as usual. His heart sank slightly. A normal fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl would have no reaction to such a dangerous thing. ?Not to mention howling and crying, at least there should be fear. Let me repeat it again, and I should be a little shocked when I recall the previous things.

But now her appearance is so stable that it seems that she just looked at a picture when she went out, even Genichiro is also frightened and frightened at the moment.

Sanada Panshi's years of criminal police experience told him that this is not normal, but there is usually unbearable pain behind the abnormality.

The person in front of him was his only granddaughter, the only heir of his dead son. This child lost his parents and came to a completely strange country alone. Sanada Panshi couldn't bear it and didn't dare to imagine what happened behind it.

"Don't be afraid, go back and have a good rest, leave this matter to your elder brother to solve, don't think about it."

Sanada Ling nodded, "Yes, Grandpa, I understand."

When Uncle Sanada came back at night, he was anxious and anxious again, so he had to explain.

When Sanada Ling returned to the room to rest, she was exhausted physically and mentally. Today's experience was even harder than her going out to solve the case. She really had a hard time.

After washing up, just picked up the phone to make a call to Kudo, when the phone rang, the calling number was Kudo.

Oh, by the way, someone knocked on the door and delivered the phone in the afternoon. She knew it was from Atobe when she thought about it.

After answering the phone, "Hey, how's it going, did you find out anything?"

Kudo nestled in the toilet, and whispered everything he had found, "One thing, the railing will break because someone has applied a layer of acidic corrosion liquid on it in advance, and painted a new layer of paint on the outside. The trace inspection department has seen it. It’s been nearly three days, and the monitoring on the third floor just broke down during that time period, and there is no record.”

"The man and woman who quarreled have been arrested. Their identities are false, and they are not in a relationship. They are paid to do things."

"The IP address of the fund is abroad, so it is invalid. These two people are homeless. The man is a hooligan and the woman is a bar girl. There are mixed people around me. No useful information has been found so far."

"The invitation letter to enter the door. His master is on vacation abroad and hasn't come back for more than half a year. He doesn't know about it at all."

"As for whether this incident is aimed at a certain person or a certain group, it is currently unknown. Those chaebols are also continuing to follow up. They will pay more attention to this incident than the police."

Sanada Ling nodded, this is true, most of them are only children, how can they not worry about the mastermind behind this matter.

In fact, the person she was more suspicious of was Atobe Keigo, and the people behind it seemed to be targeting him.

They have been together since entering the exhibition. If the murderer saw it, would he use her to kill her?

Hit her and make her fall, and Atobe will definitely come to help her. If she doesn't know any martial arts, she will definitely struggle reflexively. Then during her struggle, will Keigo Atobe hit the railing and fall? go down.

At that time, he won't have time to react, and she won't be able to catch her, and she may even be taken down, so the consequences will be severe.

Sanada Ling recalled her position at that time and the angle at which the man rushed over.

"Hello, Sanada, Sanada?"

Sanada Ling woke up startled, "Well, what did you say?"

Kudo frowned, "I kept calling you just now, what are you doing?"

"Think about some more questions," Sanada Ling told Kudo what she just thought.

Kudo sat on the toilet seat and pondered, "What you said is not impossible." On the contrary, it makes sense.

"I will continue to follow up in the future, and maybe the police will have no right to interfere after the investigation."

Sanada Ling hummed, "If what I think is true, it is indeed possible."

After Sanada Ling finished speaking, there was no movement on the opposite side for a long time, huh?No signal yet?
"Sanada Ling."

"Why are you calling me by my full name all of a sudden?" This kind of time is usually not a good thing.

Kudo looked up at the incandescent lamp on the ceiling, pale and dazzling, "Why didn't you avoid it?"

"what?"

"You can't let strangers approach your property, and you can't let someone bump into you and not react."

"All these impossible things just happened, Sanada Ling, tell me, what were you thinking when you were watching "Hope"?"

Being able to be so ecstatic that you don't know anything about the changes around you.

Sanada Ling suddenly fell silent when he was asking, her loose hair fell to her eyes because of the movement of lowering her head, covering all the emotions in her eyes.

It took a long time for Sanada Ling to speak slowly, "The name of that painting is inappropriate, I'm thinking of a new name."

Kudo looked away, the glare of the light hurt his eyes, "What were you thinking at that time?"

Kudo Shinichi asked again, and Sanada Ling lay on his back on the bed, "I'm thinking about something that's not very good. Don't ask, I won't tell you. It's not time yet."

"If the time comes later and there is still a chance, I will be the first to tell you."

Kudo frowned even harder, "Sanada."

"It's getting late, I'm going to bed, hang up."

Before he could say anything, he hung up the phone and threw the phone aside.

Kudo, who was hung up on the phone, did not call back, looked at the phone silently, sighed, and went back to the room.

Sanada Ling got off the bed with bare feet, walked to the oil painting on the wall, stared at it for a while, touched the glass lightly with her fingertips, felt the coolness from her fingertips, and slowly got back into bed to sleep.

Sanada Ling was woken up by the vibration of the mobile phone in the middle of the night. He raised his hand and took out the mobile phone, squinted to see the number of the caller, and then glanced at the time in the upper right corner. It was very good, it was 45:[-] in the morning.

Sanada Ling rubbed her face and answered the phone helplessly, "Kego Atobe, can you pay attention to the time when you are on the phone?"

No one spoke, and there was silence, "I hope you don't tell me that you accidentally pressed the wrong button."

Still no one spoke, Sanada Ling clicked her tongue impatiently, and raised her hand to hang up the phone.

At the last moment when her finger was about to press the hang up button, the other party finally spoke.

A hoarse and dull voice came from the opposite side of the phone, with a hint of bewilderment, "Sanada Ling."

As if hearing the impatience in her voice, she added in a low voice, "Don't hang up."

Sanada Ling was silent for a moment, then raised her hand to turn on the night light on the bedside table, "Speak, I'll listen."

What important event kept you up in the middle of the night, and you even called her on purpose.

Keigo Atobe just woke up from a nightmare, sweating profusely, and the panic in the boy's eyes was reflected by the crystal lamp.

That dream was horrific. Blood gushed out from Sanada Ling's body all over the ground, and it couldn't be stopped. He called for someone, but no one responded.

He licked his dry lips, "I, I didn't catch you, Sanada Ling, I didn't catch you."

Sanada Ling blinked her eyes, she seemed to know the reason why this person was so abnormal.

"Keigo Atobe, are you having a nightmare?"

There was another silence, she could only hear the unsteady breathing on the other side, and rubbed between her brows, "Atobe, dreams are the opposite, those are all illusions, they are fake."

She doesn't have time to care about honorific and disrespectful words at the moment, so she hastened to get him to sleep, and she doesn't usually see such a big person, so she's afraid of nightmares?

The girl's light voice came from the opposite side, Keigo Atobe's beating heart slowly calmed down, he covered his eyes a little helplessly, why couldn't hold back the phone for a moment.

"Ling..."

Sanada Ling raised her eyebrows, she didn't talk to her, what are you doing?Why does she feel that the following development is not right?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, for ruining your weekend."

Made you come all the way from Kanagawa to end up in such trouble because of him.

Originally, he just wanted to ask her out and stay with her for a while, but if he didn't find it, it would drag her down to this point.

He is not stupid, the last sentence Sanada Ling said, and the things he found out later, the people behind it came for him, and Sanada Ling blocked the disaster for him.

Ask yourself, if he is the one who fell today, he will definitely not be able to save himself like Sanada Ling, and he might fall in a daze.

Sanada Ling: "It's okay, it's not your fault."

But she heard the meaning behind this sentence, raised her hand and pulled her hair aside, "Did you find anything?"

Atobe Keigo nodded, and hummed again, "If I find some clues, I will deal with them, don't worry."

Today's incident was so big, the bodyguards behind him notified his father immediately, and naturally all the conspiracy behind him could be thoroughly investigated, it was only a matter of time.

Sanada Ling understood, "Okay, just pay attention to yourself, keep your eyes bright, and look at the people around you."

Atobe Keigo pursed his lips, "I know, I will pay attention."

Knowing his whereabouts so clearly, and arranging everything in advance, just waiting for him to pass, there is only a ghost in the family.

"Ling, why are you still awake at this late hour?"

Atobe Keigo just said this sentence out of words, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and it was too late to take it back.

Sanada Ling:
You are talking about something confusing, why don't you sleep, didn't you wake her up in the middle of the night?

"Atobe, I think if you hadn't called, I'd be in a deep sleep right now."

Atobe Keigo didn't have the nerve to answer, and an unusual blush also appeared on his face, but fortunately no one saw it.

Forget it, Sanada Ling rubbed the center of her brows, "Seeing that you're almost done, I'm going to sleep, goodbye."

Atobe Keigo hesitated for a moment, opened and closed his lips, and finally said, "Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Keigo Atobe stared at the call record on the phone screen, and said with a low smile, "It's not too gorgeous."

Sanada Ling threw the phone aside and pulled the quilt to cover the top of her head. It was still several hours before she woke up normally, and she could still sleep for a while.
