Conan's Helping People

The call notification sounded for a while, and Suzuki Sonoko patiently sat on the sofa and waited.

After a few seconds, the prompt disappeared, and Mao Lilan's low voice came from the microphone, "Yuanzi."

Suzuki Sonoko perked up, jumped up from the sofa, and immediately reacted. She covered her mouth and looked around for a while, then whispered back, "Xiaolan!"

I don’t know how many days it has been since I came to New York, but Suzuki Sonoko is not happy at all.

The first is the first accident.

Not long after arriving in New York, her father said that he would consider some plans based on the children's preferences, so he specifically asked her for 'help' and took her to visit the Asimov Research Institute.

That’s ‘help’!

Of course Suzuki Sonoko happily agreed.

As a result, not long after arriving at the institute, when she was carried away by a beautiful sister to feed her dessert, the alarm in the institute suddenly sounded. They happened to be in the elevator at the time. The pretty sister reacted quickly and went crazy.

Pressing the button on the first floor, almost within a minute of the alarm going off, she was handed over to the bodyguards downstairs.

But the beautiful sister is almost useless, her father is still upstairs!

After sending her off, the beautiful sister rushed back. Although the bodyguards were also very worried and anxious, they stopped her and refused to let her go up. They were also unwilling to go up to save her father, saying that they had just received an order to protect the little lady.

Fortunately, nothing happened that night, everything was safe, and the bodyguards also breathed a sigh of relief.

They relaxed too early. Suzuki Sonoko, who was relieved at the same time as them, took up her breath again not long after she relaxed.

Because something is wrong with Shiro Suzuki.

She was a child and rarely got along with Suzuki Shiro when he was at work, so she didn't know if her father's status at work had changed, but in his private life, major changes had definitely taken place.

The first is temper. Suzuki Shiro once suddenly got angry at home and blamed the cleaning staff for entering his study and moving things around. He also said, "Didn't I tell you not to enter my study again!"

The cleaning staff felt aggrieved and said that when cleaning, they always walked around the study and never went in, so how could they possibly move things around.

After dismissing this staff member, Shiro Suzuki hired another cleaning staff and installed a camera in the study.

Not long after, Suzuki Sonoko saw him walking into the study a little tiredly. After a while, he frowned and walked out with suppressed anger. He called the cleaning staff and entered the study together.

But they didn't argue. The cleaning staff came out with a confused look on her face and said that the chairman just asked her to look at the unattended surveillance to confirm that she had not entered the study room, and praised her for completing the request very seriously.

Since then, Suzuki Sonoko has never seen Suzuki Shiro conflict with the cleaning staff again, nor has she ever seen him say that his study had been tampered with.

It stands to reason that it is just a small thing in the past.

However, based on intuition, Suzuki Sonoko just felt something was wrong. She felt that her father was acting strangely. He had been particularly tired and suspicious recently. He also increased the number of security personnel, increased the frequency of patrols, and began to stay in the study more often.

Make a phone call...

Followed by the second accident.

Time, generation, square, field.

For the same reason, Suzuki Shiro seriously asked, "I really don't understand children's things, so Sonoko can help me and see if children like the activities in Times Square?", Suzuki Sonoko happily agreed again.

, and noticed something was a little wrong.

Her father seemed to have noticed that she had recently been worried about her father's changes, and thought she was a little scared, so he apologized and wanted to play with her.

Then, Suzuki Sonoko didn't even get the badge. They went there relatively late. As soon as she handed over the official invitation letter and was worried about which cutie to choose, the big screen in Times Square lit up.

There was an attack.

At that time, Suzuki Shiro's reaction was not right.

When Suzuki Sonoko saw the strange change on the big screen, she didn't react immediately. She only realized when she heard the panicked comments from others that someone had attacked the event. When she looked up at her father, she noticed his expression.

Very strange.

It's not the confusion and panic of the people around me, nor is it panic.

But anger.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What those guys said is true...it's true..."

Then, this anger slowly turned into fear. When he felt her tightening her hand, he looked down and looked at her, the expression of fear on his face reached its peak.

Suzuki Sonoko was very troubled by this matter.

Even the happy event of meeting Mao Lilan in New York did not make her happily forget about it and play with Mao Lilan.

"Is your father here?" Mao Lilan asked in a low voice.

Suzuki Sonoko looked up at the study and continued to lower her voice, "He is in the study!"

"Today is also very strange. He has been in the study and his secretary uncle came to see him, but he didn't come out," she added. "I heard from the secretary uncle that he had canceled several important meetings!"

I overheard it, and then I was carried out by Suzuki Shiro.

"That's so strange." Mao Lilan also pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the phone, "Your father is waiting for a call from someone."

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

She clenched her fists and said, "Don't eavesdrop on our phone calls!"

She somewhat understood how her father felt when he took her out of the study. Now she really wanted to take Kudo Shinichi out of Mao Lilan's side!

"Hey, let me tell you, you have been discussing it for two or three days," Kudo Shinichi ignored that sentence and asked instead, "Have you never thought about telling your father?"

"Tell Mr. Suzuki about your worries."

Then Mr. Suzuki can quickly clean up his strange behavior. Otherwise, if this continues, Kudo Shinichi feels that sooner or later, Suzuki Sonoko will be able to figure out "My father is threatened", and the person who threatens Mr. Suzuki will probably pay the same attention.

to her.

This is probably something Mr. Suzuki definitely doesn't want to see.

"How do you know I didn't say it!" Suzuki Sonoko immediately raised her voice, "I said it a few days ago!"

A few days ago, she tentatively asked Suzuki Shiro during afternoon tea time, saying that her father felt very haggard recently. Did something happen? She had been feeling weird recently...

Kudo Shinichi asked: "What then?"

"Then..." Suzuki Sonoko's voice lowered, "He apologized to me and said that he has been too busy recently."

The apology was sincere and the reason was very sufficient, at least in the eyes of a child. It said how busy I have been recently and so on.

Suzuki Sonoko thought it was her illusion.

As a result, just yesterday, Suzuki Shiro suddenly said, "Sonoko, your mother has always wanted to travel around New York. Yesterday she and I discussed going. It happens that you are about to start school soon. Why not go and play together? After playing, go back to Tokyo to go to school."

.'.

Even a child is not a fool!

Kudo Shinichi understood clearly, "He is sending you away."

"I'm not an idiot, of course I know!" Suzuki Sonoko said angrily, she waved her fist, "Damn it, what on earth is going on! I told my mother secretly, and she also said that my father was too busy, and I felt wrong

Got it!"

"It's too dangerous for children to be exposed to these things. Of course they don't want you to be exposed to them too early." Kudo Shinichi was very calm.

Suzuki Sonoko puffed up her face, "That's not what you said when you were looking at those documents with great interest. Only Xiaolan can stand you looking at pictures of the discovery scene!"

Mao Lilan whispered: "It's indeed almost time to start school... Do you plan to go out with auntie?"

Of course that's impossible!

She must crack the 'father's anomaly' case!

Just as Suzuki Sonoko was about to raise her head to answer, she suddenly heard the sound of the study door opening.

"Sonoko, are you talking to your friend on the phone?" Suzuki Shiro walked out and pressed his eyebrows tiredly.

Suzuki Sonoko's flames were immediately extinguished, and she answered obediently, "It's Xiaolan."

"Oh, that's no wonder," Suzuki Shiro suddenly realized, and then added, "Do you still want to continue chatting? Then use your mobile phone to call. Mom is waiting for you below."

well……?

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, "Mom has arrived in New York?"

"Yes," Suzuki Shiro glanced at the time, "Mom brought some of your luggage from home. No need to pack it anymore, just go."

"Come, I'll take you down."

Suzuki Sonoko: “!

"

How is that possible! She hasn’t figured out the abnormalities in recent times!

She shouted: "Dad——"

"Good boy, I've been really busy recently," Suzuki Shiro looked at the time again and hurried over, "Say goodbye to your friends first and wait on the car to make a phone call. Don't keep mom waiting."

He picked up Suzuki Sonoko, quickly packed the stuff downstairs, and stuffed it directly into his wife's car. He also told his wife, "Be sure to pay attention to safety, don't go to places with few people, and call me immediately if you have any questions. And

Security…”

"We can't get rid of them, I know." His wife said helplessly, "Don't be too hasty, Shiro, don't let us affect your judgment."

Suzuki Shiro wiped the sweat from his forehead and did not refute anything, but couldn't help but continue to warn, "Be sure to pay attention to safety, Tomoko!"

"Okay," Suzuki Tomoko hugged Suzuki Sonoko tightly and said gently, "I will report it to you every time I go."

“I’ll go back to the hotel to pack my things this afternoon and go to the beach tomorrow.”…

ey isnd Beach is a very famous beach in New York. It has many recreational facilities and is very popular with children.

And, as a beach, its sun is very, very, very, very, very bright, so dazzling.

*

Hinata lay down on the beach chair, staring at the sand on the ground and lost in thought.

Someone walked by him, and he saw the shadow walking past. The human-shaped shadow walked over, came back a few steps, and then continued to walk slowly over again.

He continued to lie down, staring at the sand and thinking.

The figure swayed for a while, and then a figure stepped into the shadow of the beach chair.

Belmode smiled and said: "Wow, you're so good, you didn't just follow others away, that's great!"

The tone of coaxing a child.

Hinata sighed calmly, looked up and saw Belmod's bright smiling face.

There is no disguise on her face, and her current identity is Chris.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Hinata moved her eyes slowly and reasonably, searched the beach for a while, and found a golden figure under a beach chair not far away. The other person was also lying down and resting.

It's Judy.

He said: "Actually, the FBI can be dumped."

Belmod glanced over there nonchalantly, pushed up the sunglasses on his head, "That's not necessary."

She raised her phone and said, "Come on, make your expression a little more disgusting, a little more indifferent, yes, it's this expression of reluctance, when you're being forced by me -"

Hinata is reasonable: "..."

He heard a clear kacha sound, but no flash came on.

"No," Belmod tilted his head, "It's not a look that looks like someone is mentally retarded, it's a look that expresses disgust."

Is there a possibility that it's not 'like'?

Hinata was too lazy to pay attention to her, and lowered her head again, staring at the sand in a daze.

Belmode sat down on the sofa chair and said, "Don't be so upset. After all, we came out to play together."

After thinking about it, she glanced at the golden figure not far away with her peripheral vision, and then changed her words, "Forget it, this is just right."

It just so happened that Hinata was a little reluctant and a little disgusted with her, especially the kind of attitude where she just wanted to ignore her, turn away, and never see her again.

It's almost like a member of a horrible and hateful organization is getting in touch with a smart righteous detective and trying hard to bring him into the organization.

Belmode smiled and reached out to touch Hinata's black hair. Then, the coaxing and comforting words she was about to blurt out paused and turned into a surprised inquiry, "A bit wet? Did you just go into the water?"

"

Hinata raised her head reasonably, took the initiative to look at her, and said seriously: "I was just waiting for you on the beach chair."

Didn't go into the water.

Belmode: "..."

She tested Hinata's reasonably soft black hair with her fingers to make sure that the roots were really wet.

Moreover, Hinata was actively looking at her.

"You did go into the water." She smiled, "Did you go swimming?"

Hinata thought for a while and continued to look at Belmode, trying to let her non-existent sincerity play a little role, "No, a child just fell into the water, I went to save him."

"Oh——" Belmod said in a tone of sudden realization, "Helping others?"

As if he believed it, Hinata replied immediately, "Yes."

"Then when I found you just now, you looked cold and unhappy. Is it because you didn't feel well going into the water to save people?" Belmode continued to ask.

Hinata hesitated for a reasonable moment, and he looked at Belmode who had a look of 'You must not be showing that cold expression towards me, right?', and responded a little reluctantly, "

Um."

"That's no wonder, I thought you didn't like me very much," Belmode nodded clearly, then changed the topic sharply, "I just rented a luxury inflatable yacht. There are only two of them on the entire beach. You can yacht in the deep sea area. Listen.

Said you can also dive there.”

"Since the FBI is following you and you are not feeling well..."

"It's okay with the FBI," Hinata stood up reasonably, "Did you put on sunscreen? It's not good for your skin if you don't sunbathe. Let's go to the deep water area."

"Hey, does it really matter?" Belmod said, "How about going to the deep water area?"

She paused, couldn't hold it back, and her face became bright again.

So serious, so serious. Even if he knew she was deliberately teasing, Hinata was still so serious, and Belmode would feel a clear sense of contrast.

...Seriously speaking, it is also a subtle sense of inhumanity.

She blinked briskly and said, "There is also an aquarium. The water is covered by glass. We can go visit it together later."
