Chapter 109 Want to live!Leaning against the wall, Jiang Shouhuang stood up tremblingly. Then move forward step by step. When he reached the candlelit area, Suzuki Shiro realized how bad his condition was. The originally sky blue coat was dyed black and red, and even half of the pants were stained with blood. As he walked, drops of blood rolled down and soaked deep into the soil. Jiang Shouhuang is breathing heavily now. He just felt like he was walking on cotton and couldn't exert any strength at all. He had only taken two steps when he fell forward. The injured arm was pressed down again, and the pain seemed to be chiseling him apart, causing Jiang Shouhuang to cry out unconsciously. "Are you OK?!"
Shiro Suzuki saw him fall down and didn't move, and shouted anxiously: "Don't sleep, kid! We'll be there soon! Jiang Shouhuang lay face down on the ground with a severe headache. He subconsciously opened his mouth to breathe more oxygen. The soil on the ground was soaked with blood and floated into his mouth with the air flow, bringing with it a fishy smell of rust. Full of the taste of death. [I don’t want to die…] 【I don’t want to die...】 Jiang Shouhuang's body was shaking. His fear had never been so deep. After struggling on the ground but unable to get up, he simply lay on the ground and crawled towards the cell little by little. The piled up dirt and tiny stones... These things embed into the flesh through the wound, and then cause pain due to friction. But Jiang Shouhuang could no longer feel it. He just looked in the direction of Suzuki Shiro and dragged his body numbly. at last. I don’t know how long it has been... A pair of warm hands held up his upper body. Shiro Suzuki put his face against the railing, stretched out his arms as hard as he could, and carried Jiang Shou Akira in front of him. "Damn it! Why is it so serious?!" Looking at the six bloody wounds on the child's arm, Shiro Suzuki was helpless.
He was not a doctor, and the most serious injuries he had personally treated were just bumps and scrapes. With his limited medical knowledge, he could only pick out the larger debris from the blurry flesh and blood. My fingers were wrapped in flesh, and the sticky touch was very uncomfortable. But in comparison, Suzuki is more worried about Akira Emori. The child's eyes were half open and lifeless. No matter how he was treated, he didn't react. Like a stray dog dead on a garbage dump. Fortunately, his chest was still rising and falling slightly. Shiro Suzuki quickened his movements. After a moment, he took off his coat and tore it into strips with his teeth. Thankfully this is high-end stuff! These luxuries have never been about durability. Then he placed the clean inside of the wound and bandaged it carefully. "All right." Shiro Suzuki sighed and looked at the mess of knotting technique. That's all he could do. "Survive!" Holding the child's cold hand, Shiro Suzuki tried hard to pass on his own warmth to him. It seemed to be a psychological effect, Jiang Shouhuang became a little more energetic. His eyes rolled slightly and he said in a hoarse voice: "Thank...thank you..." "Stop talking!" Suzuki Shiro gripped it even tighter. After a pause, Jiang Shouhuang asked weakly: "Brother...where did he go?" Suzuki Shiro finally heard what he said. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I just saw him walk into the leftmost passage and he never came out again." Jiang Shouhuang closed his eyes without saying a word. Suzuki Shiro was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he kept mumbling to him in a low voice. "Alas, now is a great opportunity to escape, but looking at your body, I don't think it will work." "By the way, is that man really your brother? Is he also from Jiang Shou's family? Why didn't I ever tell you that?"
"However, your Jiang Shou family's education is really a failure. How could they raise such a perverted offspring? It makes me unlucky too." "Hey, it's been three hours since I was kidnapped. Tomoko must have called the police, but I don't know when they'll be able to get here." "And my two daughters, I wonder how sad they would be if they found out I was missing." As he spoke, he began to sigh. "If only someone could save us." Save us... Hearing this, Jiang Shouhuang opened his eyes and tried to stretch his intact hand in front of Suzuki Shiro. "Are you... letting me check the time?" Shiro Suzuki noticed the white children's watch on his wrist at a glance. But soon, he realized something was wrong! "Wait! This seems to be... a phone call, right?" Shiro Suzuki instantly remembered an advertisement he had seen on TV. Carefully remove the watch. After a few operations, the dial-up page popped up. "Great, we are saved!" Shiro Suzuki quickly dialed the police number. But after the joyful wait, a cold voice came. [Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later! ] "Damn it!" Even though Shiro Suzuki was a cultured man, he was still swearing after experiencing so much ups and downs. He said angrily: "I should have thought of it earlier. How could he not block the signal!" After letting go of the worry he had been holding, Shiro Suzuki felt much more tired. Jiang Shouhuang was also a little disappointed. He held the watch back in his hand, mustered up his last bit of strength, and reluctantly clicked on the names in the address book one by one. dad…… Mother…… grandfather…… All calls cannot be made.
Jiang Shouhuang pursed his lips. As if to make himself give up, he dialed the number from beginning to end. until…… Press the last number in the address book. ## Suzuki House. Tomoko Suzuki sat on the sofa. She looked calm and didn't seem anxious at all. But you can tell from the fact that the cup of tea in her hand was already cold. Tomoko Suzuki was absent-minded at this time! At this time, Officer Shiratori pushed the door open and walked in. Suzuki Tomoko stood up from the sofa and asked anxiously, "What's going on, officer? Any news about my husband?" "…I'm so sorry, ma'am." Officer Shiratori felt a little guilty: "We only found the car that Mr. Suzuki was riding in when the accident happened, but we didn't find any trace of him now." "Where's the surveillance? Now that we've found the car, don't we know the route it took?" "Surveillance only covers the city, but Mr. Suzuki was sent to the suburbs, where there are surveillance cameras. We are still checking them one by one." "Yeah……" Suzuki Tomoko took a deep breath and suppressed her disappointment: "Sorry for the trouble, officer. Please continue to pay attention." "Of course!" Officer Bai Niao nodded solemnly. He returned to the purpose of his visit: "Mrs. Suzuki, how is the progress of Noah's Ark?" Hearing this, Suzuki Tomoko rubbed her swollen and aching temples. "It didn't go well." "I've mobilized every hacker I can find, but they're always at a disadvantage on the Internet." "According to them, the side that was blocking them had more people and better technology." “I have sent out hiring messages abroad, but it will take some time.” Officer Shiratori was silent for a while. He had thought that if things went well here, he could set a trap during the transaction. That seems unlikely now.
After informing the family of the current progress, Officer Shiratori said goodbye and left. Suzuki Tomoko slumped back onto the sofa. Suzuki Sonoko next to her also had red eyes. "It'll be okay!" Xiaolan hugged her best friend and comforted her softly. "Good things will come to those who are lucky. Uncle Suzuki will definitely come back safely!" "orchid……" Conan looked anxious. After all, no matter how gossipy Sonoko was, she was still a friend he had known since childhood. Of course he wanted to find Uncle Suzuki as soon as possible. But Conan had no choice. There is no room for him to play in this case. [Damn it! If only there were any clues! ] Conan sorted out the information over and over again in his mind. hum~ The cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang. Conan took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After thinking about it, he didn't hang up, walked out of the room and answered the call. "This is Edogawa Conan, who are you?" There was no answer from the other side. Just when Conan thought it was a prank call. He suddenly heard a faint voice. "……please……" "help me……" Conan immediately smelled the scent of a case and asked anxiously: "Who are you? What happened?" The voice on the other end of the phone was intermittent. "…My name is Jiang Shouhuang…" But he was interrupted before he could finish the sentence. It wasn't Conan who interrupted. But it was the voice coming from the other end of the phone again.
"Wait! Your call went through?!" click! Without waiting for him to ask any more questions, the phone was hung up abruptly. Conan stood there with his eyes wide open! Because he had heard... The last word... It's Shiro Suzuki's voice! He called back immediately. But I only heard the prompt voice "out of service area". "Damn it!" Conan realized that something was wrong and immediately called Shiratori. "Officer Shiratori! Come back soon! I have news about Uncle Suzuki!" ten minutes later. Several people gathered around the table. I listened to the recorded call on my phone over and over again. "No mistake! It's my husband's voice!" Suzuki Tomoko affirmed. Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and said, "Eshou Akira... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere before?" "I met the two brothers on the ship to Shikishima." Conan explained. He rolled his eyes again and said, "Uncle, you seemed to have asked this question at that time, right? And didn't you take the initiative to hand him your business card?" Kogoro Mori choked and suddenly realized. But then he found something suspicious: "That's not right. You and Jiang Shouhuang have only met once. Even if he really got into trouble, why would he call you?" "do not know." Conan shook his head solemnly. On the phone, Jiang Shouhuang's tone was earnest, as if he was begging. Plus the other party's weak voice... There is no doubt that something bad must have happened to Jiang Shouhuang! It's even in danger!
He should have noticed the problem earlier! Thinking of the hesitant conversation in the hotel corridor. Conan couldn't help but look annoyed. He shouldn't have forgotten about it after solving the case on the island and finding out that the two brothers had left! Officer Shiratori said, "I have sent people to look for the place where Mr. Suzuki and the child had contact. There may be clues there." It was a rare good news, and the worry on Suzuki Tomoko's face eased a little. She asked, "Was this child kidnapped as well?" Officer Shiratori nodded: "It's very likely...but the strange thing is that we haven't received any related reports so far." Maori Kogoro couldn't believe it: "His parents haven't found out yet, have they?" Do not! It’s definitely not that simple! Conan frowned and interrupted their conversation. "Whatever!" "We all need to go to Jiang Shou's house now!" ## Su Beixun bent down and took the watch from Jiang Shouhuang's hand. "!" "When did you come back?!" Shiro Suzuki was horrified. It was not until Su Beixun finished this action that he realized the other person was standing next to him. "It's been a long time. But you were facing that way and didn't see it." Su Beixun picked up Jiang Shou who was lying on the ground. Shiro Suzuki immediately yelled, "Wait! This was my idea, it has nothing to do with this kid!" "I know." Su Beixun nodded. "I have tampered with this watch. Outgoing calls will be redirected to my phone. Only after I allow it can it be connected." Shiro Suzuki suddenly realized. "No wonder only the last call could be made." He was suddenly stunned when he said, "That's not right! Why did you let it go out?" "secret." Su Beixun smiled at him. He looked down at Jiang Shouhuang. The little fat guy seemed to have fainted the moment he saw him.
Su Beixun picked up two benches and put them together to make a simple lying board. Then put the little fat guy on it. He reached out and untied the messy strips of cloth wrapped around Jiang Shouhuang's arms. And then he took off his shirt completely. "What do you want to do?" Shiro Suzuki couldn't help but worry and tried hard to arouse the feelings in Su Beixun's heart. "He's not your brother! Do you really want him to die?!" Su Beixun took out a medical box from an invisible corner. He said coldly, "I just don't want him to end up with amputation because of your bandage." Suzuki Shiro suddenly stopped talking. Su Beixun took out a large bottle of saline solution from his box and poured it directly onto the eroded wound. Seeing this scene, Shiro Suzuki felt a dull pain in his arm. The transparent liquid turned turbid in an instant. Jiang Shouhuang, who was in a coma, also shivered reflexively. Su Beixun used a cotton swab to slowly remove the dirt inside. Then take out the suture needle and catgut. "You're not going to sew it up like this, are you? Where's the anesthetic?" Shiro Suzuki couldn't help it again. Su Beixun said without even turning his head: "Anesthetics are not good for children... Besides, it's only level 6 pain, it will pass if you endure it." "No, this is just a rumor, right? There is no scientific basis at all!" Shiro Suzuki felt that he should still fight for his child. But Su Beixun was already very impatient. "Stop talking nonsense! He is my brother. How I want to deal with him is none of your business!" As he spoke, he used a needle to pierce the surface of the skin. Suzuki Shiro was afraid of disturbing others, so he immediately shut his mouth. Su Beixun moved quickly and completed the suturing in about 20 minutes. Take out the gauze and wrap it layer by layer. Soon, everything was settled.
Watching him put the things back into the box one by one, Suzuki Shiro finally asked: "Why did you save him?" "You really want him to die?" "No, of course not!" Suzuki Shiro hastily retorted: "Do you understand what I want to ask?" Su Beixun finally turned around and looked at him. He smiled softly and said, "Why are there so many reasons... I saved him just because he wanted to live." He pointed to the bloodstain on the ground. Those were the traces left by Jiang Shouhuang as he crawled all the way here. "Death is the great baptism." "Only after you have experienced death will you do anything to survive." Su Beixun looked at Jiang Shouhuang's face. "He proved to me that he wanted to live." “So I gave him the chance.” (End of this chapter)
