Chapter 214 Things Started to Get Bad
The email edited by Nobutushige is very brief, but it must have a huge impact on Suzuki Sonoko.
He was looking forward to where things would go next.
After sending the email, Shinman reopened the organization's internal website and browsed the recent information on the task page and information page.
This matter is a required course for almost every member with a code name every day, and the leader among them is undoubtedly Gin. But Nobuhiro is different from him.
Gin's purpose in browsing these messages was to see if there were any recent tasks worthy of taking over, or to look for clues left by undercover agents and traitors. And he is in order to grasp the overall trends of the organization.
It was just a routine move at first, but Nobuhiro's attention was attracted by one of the messages from the Nordic branch.
The message page will only read a "summary" similar to that in a document. The specific content must be opened to see it, and not all members have the permission to view the information.
"Is it the organization's expansion operation in Northern Europe? It seems to have hurt a lot of innocent people." Nobushige sighed and clicked to check.
With his status, he could of course have unimpeded access to these daily reports, and a new web page quickly popped up on the computer screen. The report was written in detail, from planning to action, with a long death list attached at the end.
Nobuhiro never paid attention to these names in the past. After all, there are too many people who lose their lives directly or indirectly due to the organization's tasks every day. Just like Gin never remembers the names of dead people, Nobuhiro doesn't have that much time to pay attention to this.
But today, perhaps there was some foreshadowing. Nobuhiro casually glanced at the death list, and saw a familiar name in it.
"Irina..." Nobushige murmured softly, "Things are starting to get bad."
He picked up the phone and entered a series of familiar numbers that he already remembered, but he still didn't press the dial button.
The setting sun gilded Nobuhiro's body with a layer of gold, making his expression even darker and unclear.
Haiyuan Ai opened the door of the piano room and turned the corner of the corridor. She was just about to say hello to Asano Nobushige with a smile, but she saw this scene.
Haihara Ai's footsteps stopped, and she called softly: "Mr. Asano?"
Nobushige actually heard it when she left the piano room, but he still closed the computer slowly in front of Haibara Ai: "The last time I played was very good, I can learn new songs tomorrow."
"Well..." Hui Yuarai hesitated for a while, "Did something happen to you? I... I felt that you seemed very sad just now."
"Sad?" Xinfan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "How could I be sad? Xiao Ai must have seen it wrong."
In the last sentence, Nobu Fan's voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself.
Hui Yuan Ai pursed her lips and did not ask any more questions.
But she was very sure that Mr. Asano must have been sad just now. Because even now, his smile did not reach his eyes, and the things in his deep eyes that she could not understand were extremely heavy.
After a brief absence of concentration, Nobufan suppressed all the emotions he shouldn't have, and even the deepest part of his eyes seemed to become clean and clear in an instant.
He knelt down with a smile, looked seriously into Hui Yuan Ai's eyes and said, "Xiao Ai must be hungry, let's go home."
Haiyuan Ai nodded heavily to the man: "Yes!"
Since Mr. Asano didn't want to say anything, she chose to respect the self-esteem of adults. A man of Mr. Asano's age must have a lot of burdens on his shoulders, such as supporting his family.
Although according to Mr. Matsumoto, the brother she got halfway seems to be quite rich.
…
Nobushige's place was laid back and warm, but one of the Suzuki family villas, also in Tokyo, was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Suzuki Sonoko was wearing her iconic headband that sealed her appearance, and she was lying on the table swinging her legs out of boredom.
"Did you listen to me, Sonoko?!" Suzuki Tomoko said seriously, "This kind of thing should never be treated as a joke."
Suzuki Shiro immediately agreed; "Yes, the threat was so clearly stated in the email. If we don't take it seriously, we will definitely be plotted by the other party!"
"It's because you care too much that you fell into other people's traps." Suzuki Sonoko not only didn't feel dangerous, but she was a little excited in her heart.
Suzuki Shiro suddenly felt a headache: "Are you going to attend a magician's party recently?"
"Dad, what are you going to do?" Suzuki Sonoko immediately looked at him alertly.
That was her first romantic encounter with Mr. Takeki Doi, nicknamed "Red Herring"!
Absolutely, absolutely cannot let such an opportunity go to waste just because of the family’s sensitive nerves!
"Of course I want you not to participate." Suzuki Shiro advised earnestly, "The guy who sent us the email thought I wouldn't find out his identity, but little did he know that he had already exposed himself to me!"
Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously: "What did he expose?"
"Perhaps that guy is a professional habit, or he deliberately used magic terms in his threat letter because he wanted to show off, right? But your father and I happen to be very interested in magic recently."
"is that so?"
"Hmph, you just decided to attend a gathering of magicians, and someone sent something like this to the Suzuki family. The truth of the matter is already obvious!"
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko opened her eyes wide, "Dad, you don't think the person who sent the email is a friend who attended the party with me, right?"
Tomoko Suzuki took an elegant sip of black tea, and then said very seriously: "Your father and I have completely the same view on this issue. The person who claims to take away your most precious things is likely to want to confront him at the party. Take action!"
"How, how is it possible?!"
Suzuki Sonoko's rebuttal seemed extremely weak to her parents.
But Suzuki Shiro suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how does he know what you value most? Could he be a friend who is very familiar with you?"
"Ah, how could it be?" Suzuki Sonoko laughed guiltily and avoided her father's sight, "He, he, he can guess, after all, there are only a few things that people value. Maybe it's my supercar Good-looking guest…”
"That's it!!" Suzuki Shiro said with great certainty, "The thing a person values most is his own life, so he is probably here for you!"
"ah??"
Tomoko Suzuki shook her head slightly, and then said in anticipation of Sonoko Suzuki: "I think it might be money. The gangsters may want to kidnap Sonoko at the party, and then take the opportunity to ask for ransom from the Suzuki family."
Suzuki Sonoko: "???"
