Chapter 596: Cousin during the day ()

Mrs. Suzuki's appearance quickly attracted the attention of many people in the Tourism Hall, but no one tried to come up and talk to her. They just noticed her for a moment and then immediately returned to normal and continued doing what they were doing.

After getting out of the elevator, Mrs. Suzuki quickly brought Sonoko and Xiaolan to Serabelle and the other two.

She noticed the blonde British girl who was holding the boy's clothes tightly in her arms and had no intention of letting go, so she leaned down slightly, supported her knees with her hands and smiled kindly.

"Ala, there's a very cute girl, who is she?"

"Ah, she, she, she is..."

When someone asked about her mother's identity, Sera Masumi suddenly became nervous and stuttered for several words before she could recover.

Fortunately, Serabelle had anticipated this and remained calm.

"This is my cousin from my relative's family."

"cousin?"

Suzuki Tomoko raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.

She knew that Sera Masumi was Serabelle's sister, but she had never heard of this blonde cousin.

At this time, Xiaolan next to her also interrupted to explain.

"Oh yes, I remember her name was... Sera Mari, right? I met her with Sera-kun and Sera-san when I went to Izu with my parents last summer."

"That's right."

With her daughter's good friend's endorsement, and hearing that everyone's surname was Sera, Suzuki Tomoko believed it without any doubt.

And Akai Mary, who was forced to temporarily put on a fake identity, seemed to have successfully integrated into her age group, and used both hands to hang herself on Serabel.

The implication is obvious.

Want to get close to Bell? No way when I'm here!

This scene also stunned Masamune Sera who was standing next to him.

Why do I feel like my mom is quite into the role?

"orchid……"

Less than two seconds after Xiaolan finished speaking, she found that her best friend was staring at her blankly.

Huh?

Xiaolan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that she had just said the wrong thing.

"Lan, you just mentioned last summer. Could it be that your memory has already..."

Yuanzi still had that look of disbelief yet expectation on her face.

She had originally given up on the possibility of her best friend recovering her memory, but just now, this sentence rekindled some hope for Sonoko, and she even thought that Xiaolan's memory had been restored.

After all, going to Izu happened last summer, which was about half a year before Xiaolan lost her memory. If Xiaolan can recall what happened at that time, it means...

"Ah sorry Sonoko."

Xiaolan quickly adjusted her mood and smiled apologetically.

"This is actually because my mother showed me the photos she took in Izu at that time in order to help me recover my memory. Although I didn't recover my memory after I saw all of them in the end."

“Yeah…”

The girl with the hairband stiffened for a moment.

Sonoko shook her head and smiled again.

"It's okay, it's nothing. Memory is not that important. For me, as long as you are safe and sound, that's all that matters."

"Thank you, Sonoko."

Xiaolan said from the bottom of her heart.

The little episode passed, and while Suzuki Tomoko was talking to Serabelle on the other side, Sonoko brought up the conversation again.

"But come to think of it, Lan, when you said 'Dad' just now, your tone seemed quite natural, didn't you...?"

At this point, Yuanzi paused, and even tried several gestures but still couldn't finish the sentence, as if no matter what words he used, they didn't quite express what he meant.

Reconciliation? That doesn't seem to be the case.

Recognize each other? This word seems even more strange when used between father and daughter.

However, Xiaolan obviously understood what her friend meant. She smiled and shook her head: "No, it's not like that. How can I put it? After all, it's been so long. I've gotten used to some things."

"Naran, are you planning to move back in with Uncle Maori in the future?" Sonoko asked curiously.

“There is no such plan at the moment.”

Xiaolan shook her head as tactfully as possible.

"At least for now, I feel that living with my mom is pretty good. It's closer to school, and I can help my mom a little on weekends."

"Too."

Yuanzi thought about it and nodded, then grinned and patted his shoulder.

"It's really good. Compared to the past when I had to rush home to cook for Uncle Maori and that little brat after school, now at least you can have some free time after school, Lan. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back~"

"Haha, yeah."

When talking about the past days, Xiaolan's face dimmed slightly for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal.

It is a great pity that we don't meet some people at the right time, but fortunately the result is good in the end.

"Okay, let's go to the upper exhibition hall and take a look, shall we?"

The voice came, and Suzuki Tomoko, who had already finished talking, turned around with Serabelle and others and said.

"Oh, okay..."

Xiaolan agreed immediately and was about to turn towards the elevator at the back.

However, at this moment three tourists passed by them, causing the girl to stop subconsciously.

Of course, these three people did not know each other. There was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with an elderly foreign couple. As they walked, they pointed at a residential building in the distance below the window and introduced it in a very slow broadcast-style English.

"Yes, that yellow building over there, it was built thirty years ago, and now that the Suzuki Tower is complete, it has a four-star view, I guarantee it's a five-star asset."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man stopped and stretched out his palm to the foreign couple, making a five gesture.

"I feel like I heard a sloth talking." Serabell held Akai Mari's butt with one hand and dug her ears.

"And you still have the nerve to call it a five-star asset when the house is thirty years old..."

Masumi Sera was also very upset.

You have to know that houses also have a lifespan, and it is not as long as generally imagined. Forty or fifty years is the limit. Normally, thirty years is the limit. Problems such as leaks, wall powder loss, insect bites, and termites are endless.

You still have the nerve to call it a five-star asset? You are just trying to cheat and defraud foreign elderly people.

"..."

Even Mrs. Suzuki couldn't help but take another look at the man. She was probably ready to call security to drag him out.

call--

Hundreds of meters above the ground, a strong wind blew at this moment, causing the white clouds in the sky to move slightly.

Without the obstruction of clouds, the slightly dazzling spring morning sunlight shines down from the sky.

At this moment, on the top of a building hundreds of meters away from the Suzuki Tower, a dazzling reflection passed through the gap in the corner of the eye and slightly stung Serabelle's eyes.

That reflection is...!

Instantly, a chill ran up her spine, and her instinct to sense danger made Serabel react, but she only had time to stretch out her arms to embrace Shiliang Zhenchun and shield her back in front of the girl.

The next moment, something seemed to pierce the window glass of the observation hall at an extremely high speed. With a "bang", the unscrupulous real estate agent who had just been talking about the many benefits of buying real estate fell to the ground on the spot.

The heart was pierced and blood gushed out instantly.

Chapter 597 Xiuyi: Mom, can you get off him first?

A quarter of an hour after the shooting, as the riots subsided and tourists were evacuated, a series of emergency measures were implemented step by step. The originally bustling sightseeing hall quickly returned to its quiet state before opening.

The square downstairs was urgently cleared, a long isolation belt was set up around it, and uniformed police officers took the elevator to the upper floors of the Suzuki Tower as quickly as possible.

"The heart was pierced and completely destroyed. He died on the spot. Even if he was on the operating table at the time, he couldn't be saved."

In the tourist hall, Inspector Megure lifted the clothes of the deceased and briefly examined his injuries. He then stood up and shook his head at Serabel and the others who were still in the exhibition hall, his expression extremely solemn.

There is no doubt that this was a murder, and it happened on the first day of Suzuki Tower's soft opening.

This is not only a slap in the face of the Suzuki Group, but also a slap in the face of the Tokyo Police.

You should know that Suzuki Tower is another newly built landmark building in Tokyo. For today's trial opening, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, at the instruction of the Tokyo government, volunteered to take on the security work for the trial opening.

From morning till now, for nearly half a day, helicopters from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department have been patrolling back and forth around the Suzuki Tower almost non-stop, ensuring that there are at least three helicopters flying at the same time.

But who could have thought that with such strong security, the criminal could still kill people successfully, and judging from the location where the victim was attacked and the way he died, there is no doubt that the method used by the mortal was sniping.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Tokyo police will once again face a new round of challenges.

"Mrs. Suzuki, and brother Sera, although there were many tourists in the Tourism Bureau at the time, considering that you were the only ones who really paid attention to the death process of the deceased, I would like to trouble you to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to take detailed statements later."

"Whatever..."

Serabelle shrugged nonchalantly.

He has almost gotten used to it since he has been in Japan for so long. Basically, he encounters murders every time he goes out for travel or something. He is almost numb to it.

But speaking of it, in the past, when I encountered murders, it was because Conan was present, but today he was not there at all...

Could it be that I have also been infected by the aura of the god of death?

No, it shouldn't be possible.

Serabelle rejected this possibility without hesitation.

It must be because Japan is a place with "talented people and beautiful scenery", it has nothing to do with him.

"Then let's go over there now and solve any problem as soon as possible," said Tomoko Suzuki.

"it is good."

Inspector Megure nodded slightly and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Takagi, let the forensic department get ready to come up, and then let Sato drive, and we'll go back to the Metropolitan Police Department first."

"Yes."

The person on the other end of the intercom answered.

……

A moment later, when Serabelle and others arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department in a police car, the lobby of the department was busy, with police officers walking quickly with their heads down, holding documents, everywhere.

The entire Metropolitan Police Department building was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Apparently what happened at Suzuki Tower had reached the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, just as they were getting used to the route and preparing to go search the class, they were stopped as soon as they entered the hall.

Serabelle didn't know him, but Megure did. He was also a police officer from the First Investigation Division, and also a member of the Third Investigation Division. He was his own subordinate.

"Inspector! Four people want to see you. They say they have information about the Suzuki Tower sniper incident. Three of them seem to be foreigners."

"Foreigner?"

Inspector Megure couldn't help but feel a little confused.

It's not about anything else, the main reason is that the scene was in chaos when the incident happened, and most people were just rushing towards the elevator and couldn't possibly pay attention to so many things.

What's more, if there really was any information, why didn't he just stay at Suzuki Tower and tell him? Why did he have to go through a big detour and come to the Metropolitan Police Department to look for it?

Forget it...

After a little thought, Inspector Megure waved his hand.

"Okay, then take me to find them first. Where are they now?"

"Well, we are already in our class's meeting room."
