Chapter 652 Whose Daughter Is This
"This is impossible. We can't do what you said."
The exhibition hall of Hachijo Island is now crowded with people, and the police are outside to stabilize the situation. Most of the people inside are high-level officials and people from all walks of life who came to attend the wedding.
In the middle of the siege were the Kudo family and the Suzuki family who were negotiating with the gangsters for the second time.
"I have already received the money. They are all old banknotes with no marks." Kudo Yusaku held the phone, and the conversation between the two parties was still transmitted to everyone's ears through the loudspeaker.
"Mr. Kudo, I know you very well. To put it more clearly, I am very worried about you."
"We can go with the money." Yuzuki and Kaori anxiously moved to the phone, and Xiaolan, who didn't know what to do, also agreed.
"We only need that child to be sent to him, and of course Mr. Kudo can come with him."
The phone was hung up again, and the people on the phone looked at each other helplessly.
"The gangster designated you and this little girl to deliver the money." Mouri Kogoro pinched his chin. He bent down and put his face in front of Kuroba Rise, and asked doubtfully: "Are you worried that the people we sent will catch them all? ?”
"Uncle, how could we let a child do such a dangerous thing!"
The eagerness of Yuzuki and Kaori made Kudo Yusaku a little puzzled, but now it is not a problem that can be solved just unwillingly. The social elites around them have already squeezed in.
"Mr. Kudo, don't hesitate, let this kid take the money to appease the murderers!"
The president of a group raised his hand. He ignored the girls glaring at him and called on the people behind him to suppress the Kudo and Suzuki families who were obviously hesitant in front.
There were few people who did not speak or express their opinions, and just stood aside. The few voices that said "this is not good" were drowned in the calls of "send her away".
"Uncle Kudo, the police..."
Kaori wanted to push her back as the chief's granddaughter, but no one ignored her when her life was threatened. Even Toru Amuro's severe reprimand was ignored.
"Everyone, we have to think about it, after all, this is a child..."
"It's just a child." The old man who walked out of the crowd was very disdainful. As a senior member of the wedding guests, the old man observed from side to side: "Isn't it better to stump a child than to protect the safety of so many social elites?"
"you……"
Suzuki Jiroji also stood up. Before he finished speaking, the phone rang again.
"I am very satisfied with your awareness of current affairs, so I have prepared a fish replenishment boat."
This time it was not Vodka who wore a voice changer and spoke. Gin held the phone and returned to his murderous face after nodding as Belmod entered the submarine lounge.
"When we get the money, we will activate the ship's automatic cruise function and drive it to the east coast of Hachijo Island. You can leave here by ship."
"Very good!"
Cheers filled the hall. If Kudo Yusaku and Suzuki Jirokichi hadn't been guarding Kuroba Rise behind them, this group of people might have rushed over and pushed the girl to give away the money.
"So be it."
After coldly observing a circle of people, Kudo Yusaku asked everyone to leave the exhibition hall while he checked the money again.
"Uncle, how can we..."
Sonoko pulled Kyogoku towards Suzuki Jirokichi, but was immediately told to stop. Seeing something in Kudo Yusaku's eyes, Suzuki Jirokichi rubbed his aching temples.
"I have to tell your father that those guys just now, no matter what previous dealings they had with the Suzuki Consortium, must be completely cut off." The old man smiled disdainfully at those who were leaving.
"Uncle, we..."
Xiaolan hugged Rise worriedly, but found that Kudo Yusaku waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not worry.
"I will accompany this child." Yusaku Kudo pulled out a pistol from his breast pocket when everyone was surprised: "If those guys are deliberately making things difficult, it means they are not doing it for money."
Realizing that Kaori and Yuzuki were still a little scared, the old father could only promise: "I will bring her back safely."
So Kuroba Rise, his verbal uncle and real grandfather set out with the money.
The place to pay is on Hachizhang Mountain in the East District. Overlooking the entire island from the top of the mountain, this is the most beautiful place.
Carrying the cash box up the mountain, Kudo Yusaku kept staring at the frustrated girl with his peripheral vision and sighed.
"Not happy?"
"Um……"
Kuroba Riyo was naturally uncomfortable because of the faces of those people, but the mothers' concern still made her feel warm. At least Kaori and Yuzuki, who were hanging on the car door and asking to come with them, once again made her understand that she was living in love. middle.
Girls who grow up unnaturally often fall into self-doubt, but only with this, now she truly no longer has doubts and fears.
[But why did Kaori’s mother secretly tell me not to worry? 】
At the end of the mountain road, several men in black smoked quietly, waiting for the grandfather and grandson. The one sitting in the middle was a bald man wearing sunglasses. When he saw Kudo Yusaku, he didn't say much. He just asked the girl to bring the cash box and check it carefully, and then called his companions to go down the mountain road on the other side.
"I originally thought these people were just trying to fish in troubled waters, but now it turns out that they might actually be the people behind it."
Kudo Yusaku lowered his head: "But it shouldn't be like a faction. Why are you using Shinichi as an excuse..."
Kudo Yusaku didn't finish his words, because there was an extra anesthetic needle on his neck. Even if old Kudo noticed the flying needle and turned around in advance, the person who fired it had predicted his position after turning around.
"Of course it's to take our Rize home!"
In the middle of the mountaintop, Vermouth, who had come up from the cliff covered by the guardrail, knocked Kudo Yusaku down and opened his arms towards Rize, hugging her tightly as the girl exclaimed "Grandma".
"Bang" sounded in the distance, and after fooling Rize with the rhetoric of fireworks, Vermouth smiled and said, "I'll take you to find your dad."
"Then Uncle Kudo... Grandpa..."
"Someone will take him down."
Holding Rize and running away, Vermouth's footsteps gradually faded away, and Kudo Yusaku, who was lying on the ground, turned over and sat up.
He first took off his disguised neck with an anesthetic needle, then walked to the guardrail, looking at the fishing boat in the distance with many black spots floating beside him and sinking continuously, muttering.
"Grandpa?"
