Chapter 123: Revenge and the Prelude to the Final Battle At dawn, the soft light in the sky is clear and three children of the detective team went home yawning and took a nap, but Haibara and Conan gathered at Dr. Agasa's house to exchange opinions on last night's events. "So, you think he's undercover?" "How else to explain it?" Huiyuan drank the coffee that would prolong her life, and said with all her strength, "He knew something was wrong with me, and he even found out that I was pretending to be unconscious, but he still sent me to the main road and left, and he didn't even mention me when he called Gin." "Gin?" Conan heard the culprit who caused him to shrink, and excitedly grabbed her shoulders and asked: "Have you seen Gin?" "I told you it was a phone call." Huiyuan slapped his hand away, looked at Conan who was still expectant, and said helplessly: "Don't think about it, they didn't talk about any confidential topics, they mainly talked about Masuyama Kenzo... and the result, you should know better than me." "...That's it..." Conan was a little disappointed. But within two seconds, he immediately cheered up again: "Okay! In this case, let's go ask him in person!"
Huiyuan's eyes froze: "Huh?" Conan put the phone in front of her, pointed at a photo on it and asked, "Was he the one who took you away yesterday?" Huiyuan frowned. She identified the blond man in the photo and nodded, "Although it was a little dark, it must be him!" But she was a little slow to react and immediately came to her senses: "Wait! Where did you get these photos?!" "Of course I found it on the Internet." Conan explained: "According to Koda Kiaki, there was a private detective with him yesterday, but we haven't been able to find him." "Plus the fact that you were taken away, it's easy to think that the two are the same." He smiled. “So I did a quick search based on the name Mr. Koda gave me, and that’s how I found his photo.” Conan showed the website to Haibara. 【Amuro Detective Agency】 "what?" Huiyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. There are actually members of an organization who would post advertisements on the Internet and upload their own photos? She couldn't accept it. "And I'm sure that Mr. Koda didn't lie. This Amuro Toru was at Jiang Ming's house yesterday." Conan said this and took out a guest photo that he had printed out yesterday - it showed the back of a man in a black suit, with only half of his face showing. "Although only half of his face was photographed, which resulted in no information about him being found yesterday...but if we compare their identities, it's easy to find that they are the same person." He smiled confidently, his glasses reflecting white light: "Since he is an undercover agent, we can definitely get a lot of information from him!"
"Wait...wait a minute!" Huiyuan interrupted him quickly: "This is all my guess! What if I guess wrong? The other party didn't take me back, just because they locked my location and felt safe, and used it to fish?" She was very resistant to this and thought it was too irrational to rush into it like this! But the stubborn Conan obviously didn't have this concern: "That doesn't matter! He's a member of the organization anyway. If there's a problem, we can still get information by catching him!" He was very confident and said directly: "Let's go find him now!" "Wait a minute...Edogawa!" Seeing Conan set off decisively, Huibara quickly put down her coffee and reached out to pull him. And this time. The door was pushed open with a loud bang! Xiaolan walked in angrily and shouted, "Conan!" As if seeing the blazing flames behind her, Conan was so frightened that he immediately forgot his identity as Shinichi and smiled awkwardly: "What's the matter, Xiaolan...sister?" "And you asked me what happened?" Xiaolan was very angry: "It's fine that you stayed at someone else's house yesterday! But a murder happened, why didn't you call to let them know you were safe? Why didn't you go home quickly? I was very worried, don't you know?" Conan quickly smiled. But secretly he rolled his eyes. [Really?! I told you I'm Shinichi, so don't look after me like a child!] But he never dared to say this out loud. "Come on! Come home with me!" "Lan, I have something else to do later... Can I..." "No!" Xiaolan flatly refused. Haibara watched Conan being dragged home by Maori, drank her coffee with peace of mind, and went back to her room to rest. In the early morning, except for the middle-aged office workers carrying briefcases, the pedestrians on the street were still quite energetic. Slowly, Conan's mood improved a lot. He thought it through. Since he knew who the other party was, it would be the same if he went in the afternoon. "Right, Lan." Conan asked curiously: "Has what happened last night been reported this morning?" "Ah." These reporters are really quick when it comes to gossiping about the consortium. Conan just yawned when he heard Xiaolan slow down her voice and said, "Shinichi, I've asked for leave for you. Just rest at home today... You probably didn't sleep well after encountering two cases of murder and extortion in one night."
Yes. After Xiaolan said this, his fatigue suddenly intensified. But after a moment, Conan was suddenly stunned: "Wait... blackmail? What blackmail?" "Huh? Don't you know?" Xiaolan was surprised. She took out a newspaper from her schoolbag and said, "Look, it says that Mr. Koda killed his brother and pretended to be missing in order to go to Jiang Shou's house to defraud money." ??? Conan had a question mark on his face. He immediately asked for the newspaper and read the news attentively. A small newspaper actually revealed all of Koda Ki-ming's life story! His parents divorced when he was young, and he lived with his father. His life was ordinary and he had no experience of abuse. I was admitted to a very ordinary university, but when I graduated, the economic bubble occurred and I couldn't find a decent job. I have been in a daze until now. But what is different with him is. Although living with his mother, Yota Koda has made a name for himself in the Jiang Ming family. He is appreciated by Jiang Mingzhe and his salary is even higher than that of some corporate executives. Conan frowned. Although this newspaper only revealed the basic information about Koda Kiaki, these reports hinted at one thing: The Koda brothers are at odds! Even at the end of the report, there was speculation that Koda Kiaki killed his brother and then extorted money from Jiang Morie on the grounds of his disappearance. Considering the above news together, there are definitely many people who believe in this speculation. Conan found it strange. After all, the murderer Kenzo Masuyama was a fairly famous entrepreneur, and this news was obviously more eye-catching, but the newspaper did not mention him once throughout the entire article. Instead, it focused on an ordinary person like Okiaki Koda. Just thinking about it. A red car whizzed past and then backed up to Conan. "Officer White Bird?" Conan came back to his senses and greeted him, then asked curiously, "Didn't you go back to the police station? Why are you here?" "I just went to the detention center." Officer Shiratori rubbed his aching temple and said, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride." But Conan seized on the previous sentence and asked: "Officer, what are you doing in the detention center?" Shiratori explained, "Someone just paid a large sum of money to bail out Koda Kiaki. As the officer who arrested him, I need to go over and take a look at the situation." "Bail? Who paid for him? Does Mr. Koda meet the bail conditions?"
"The bailor is a friend he knows." Shiratori continued, "Although Mr. Koda is guilty, his crime is not particularly serious and the heavier punishment will not exceed ten years, so he meets the conditions for bail." Conan stopped talking. He frowned and looked grim. This news, coupled with the morning newspaper, suddenly gave him a very dark and absurd thought. But then he shook his head. --how can that be possible…… ## before the sun rises. The messy room was still dark. Su Beixun was lying on his side on the bed and sleeping soundly. But the little figure in his arms had disappeared. suddenly! The tightly closed door cracked open. A man squeezed in carefully. He stood on tiptoe, avoiding any toys on the floor that would make noises, and moved closer to the bedside. Suddenly! Silver light flashed! A sharp knife was stabbing straight towards Su Beixun's head! But the blade never shed blood and was fixed in mid-air, leaving the man holding the knife unable to move even though his face turned red. "Too tender." Su Beixun sighed. He turned his back without looking back, and with a slight force of his hand behind his back, the blade slipped out of his hand. He turned slightly sideways, letting the knife brush past his ear and pierce into the pillow. Then he sat up, grabbed the fat boy's wrist and brought him in front of him, forcing him to sit in his arms. "Although you were very careful, I was already awake when you got out of bed." Jiang Shouhuang let him do whatever he wanted. Su Beixun put his arms on the fat boy's shoulders and pushed his body backwards. She hugged him and said affectionately: "But don't worry, I will slowly teach you what you are missing." He rubbed the fat boy's cheek. After a pause, he asked casually, "But before that, I have a question." Jiang Shouhuang tilted his head, pretending to listen attentively.
"Besides me, Xiao Huang, do you want revenge?" Su Beixun lowered his head and put his ear close to his. His fingers dropped down and drew circles on the fat boy's belly. "Although Kenzo Masuyama is dead, Koda Nobuaki, who hurt your mother, is still alive... How about it, do you want to see the power of Jiang Shoujia?" Jiang Shou rolled his eyes and said nothing. ## The sun is shining. Although it is rush hour for work and school, the roads heading to the suburbs are still deserted. And it was on such a remote road. The young man in a black suit fell in the middle of the road. His body was in pieces, his chest was sunken, his arms were bent at 90 degrees, and the exposed bones looked terrifyingly white in the sunlight. On the rough lime ground, bright red blood spread under his body and stained his face, like a most beautiful masterpiece painted in ink. There is even a nearly 10-meter-long trace of flesh and blood friction next to it as decoration! At the end of the trace, there was a white vehicle with a sunken front and blue smoke coming out. Sitting in the vehicle was a thin driver who was gasping for breath. A very clear car accident scene! "Son! Son!" Suddenly there was a scream. Just behind the white car, a middle-aged man around 60 years old rushed over. He quickly ran to the young man, knelt down on the ground, and stretched out his hand to help him, but was at a loss when he saw his horrific injuries. After a long pause, he tremblingly called the emergency number. just now. He came to take his son who was released from detention. But just as the father and son were walking and talking, a car at a speed of 150 yards suddenly came out from behind and knocked his son away! In just a moment, the man heard the most terrifying sound in his life, the sound of bones tearing! The crackling sound was like a symphony from hell. The man was panting, his hands and feet were cold. He carefully extended a finger and hesitantly placed it under the young man's nose. then…… It was like a mosquito frozen in amber, without any movement. [My son...is dead...]
He just felt dizzy! With her hands on the ground, tears fell on her son's blood-covered face. On the grass by the roadside. In a parked gray-green SUV, two people took in the man's deathly pale expression. Su Beixun leaned on the steering wheel and looked sideways at Jiang Shouhuang with a comfortable expression. "How is it? Are you satisfied?" He laughed playfully, without any sorrow or sympathy on his face, instead he looked as if he was enjoying a hilarious grand comedy. "I asked the Jiangshou Group to use their connections to discredit Koda Kiaki's reputation, making him suspected of killing his brother. I also bribed a gambler to make Koda Kiaki die miserably under the watchful eyes of his father." "A man who will suffer from rumors because his son is a murderer, and who will see his son die in front of his own eyes..." "Hum..." Su Beixun stood up with a smile, then lit the fire: "Compared to the death of Ogura Junxia that you witnessed with your own eyes, to some extent, this can be regarded as karma." Jiang Shouhuang bit his lips tightly. Looking at the man who seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, the fat man turned his eyes away slightly. But this time, he didn't say anything compassionate. ——Because he is not qualified! Strictly speaking, he is also the main driving force behind today's tragedy. His silence last night represented his acquiescence to everything that happened. It's all a chain reaction! Just like the call he made to Conan. The difference is that one is because of his weakness, and the other is because of his strength. So one makes himself collapse, and the other avenges himself. The consequences of strength and weakness have never been so clear! Su Beixun chuckled, started the car and drove along the forest. He looked at the sullen little fat boy and said loudly, "Have fun! Revenge is the most satisfying thing! It has nothing to do with the law or morality, you just need to enjoy it to the fullest!" he said. Then he took out a red button from his pocket and pressed it. Boom! The white car on the road suddenly expanded into a fireball! Various broken parts, wrapped in flames, splashed in all directions. The driver who caused the accident also screamed and turned into silently burning firewood. The gambler who decided to kill someone for 300 million dollars never got the price he paid for his soul. Jiang Shouhuang was shocked by the sudden explosion. He turned his head, looking across the burning ruins between the gray tree trunks he passed by, and stared at the kneeling figure on the ground for the last time.
People always see their own shadows in others and learn lessons from other people's misfortunes. Jiang Shouhuang saw in that man a weakness similar to his own. Because there is nothing we can do, we can't protect anything. The little fat man laughed miserably and clenched his fists silently. …… The vehicle quickly entered the city. suddenly! A series of crisp ringtones rang out in the quiet car. Su Beixun frowned and took out his cell phone to answer the call. He coughed and when he spoke again his voice had already changed to Jiang Shouyize's. "Hello? What's wrong?" Jiang Shouhuang couldn't help but look sideways when he heard the voice. "boss!" The person on the other end of the line was a middle-aged man, a senior executive in charge of program maintenance at Jiangshou Group. With a hint of excitement, he said in a tone of seeking credit: "There is news about the artificial intelligence you asked us to locate!" Su Beixun raised his eyebrows and asked urgently, "Where is it?" "Osaka!" Osaka? Su Beixun asked again: "What is the exact location?" "This..." The middle-aged man paused and said in embarrassment: "The exact location is still unclear." Su Beixun's face twitched: "Then why are you calling me now? Wait until you have confirmed it!" “…I can’t do that, Boss!” The middle-aged man complained: "There are too many people fighting against us on the Internet. Being able to lock on to Osaka is already the limit... Unless the other party releases the blockade, there is no way to go further." “…Tsk, I understand.” Su Beixun didn't say anything and silently increased his driving speed. He was not surprised by the result. It was good enough to know the approximate location. To be more specific, it depends on the direction of the organization's personnel transfers. Although it will be a step slower, there is still a chance.
