Chapter 459: The Darkness Before Dawn
Noki Suzuki landed a beautiful combination punch.
Promises, deals, threats, inducements, frequent communication with people from all walks of life, and pressure on her father's cronies together, to understand her father's current situation is mainly that her father has not appeared in public for nearly ten days, which makes people feel very bad, and many people are directly shaken.
No one will support a person who is suspected of dying, and they all feel that it is better to stand on the side of the next generation at this time.
On the afternoon of the second day after being shot, someone finally couldn't bear the pressure and gave in, Suzuki Noki got her father's specific condition due to acute heart and kidney failure, although he temporarily saved his life, but due to the lack of oxygen to the brain caused serious brain damage, it was basically confirmed that he lost consciousness directly, and he was completely involuntary.
What's more, his physical condition is still deteriorating, and he may die at any time.
Noki Suzuki immediately took action, urging the lawyer team to start submitting documents to the government and the court to legally crucify his father for his loss of civil capacity, so that she could smoothly take over her father's assets.
She has a legal advantage, the shares held by her father are basically from the conditions of her grandfather and mother, that is, these shares cannot be sold or transferred, after she gives up holding or dies, she still has to return to the Suzuki family, that is, in the hands of Suzuki Riyi Of course, the person is not dead, but in fact, it is almost the same as dead.
On the other hand, because her father's physical condition is so bad, the number of people who support her has increased rapidly, and she has received more cooperation in many aspects, which can allow her to attack the Muto police who directed the killer to shoot her with a more violent posture, and now they are even more unceremonious, although they did not catch the gunman and got the ironclad evidence, but they cleaned up and closed the group, and put Muto under residential surveillance, that is, house arrest in a high-end apartment.
If Muto succeeds in killing Suzuki Noki and has the qualifications to enter the Izumi Suzuki family, it will of course be a treasure, but now that she has failed in her dying fight, there is nothing to say, and it is estimated that the Sekishita group is also going to give up on her, lest the benefits are not touched, and she will be burned.
And this Muto has failed more than once, she has also failed to assign someone to assassinate another competitor, Matsudaira and her ten-year-old son don't know where to hide, and even the police haven't found her.
It's going well, the turtle tactics have been a great success, Suzuki Noki feels that he has seen the dawn, and he is a little proud, but he hasn't gotten carried away yet, he still tied himself to Kitahara Shuji's thigh, day and night, but began to talk about how to settle accounts with her father's mistresses in the future and made her frightened for so many years, no Kitahara Shuji would have been killed several times, she is not a stupid white sweet lady, she must take revenge, not to mention peeling off their skins alive, at least let them go bankrupt, and then step on 10,000 feet, so that they will never be able to turn overγ
Kitahara Shuji watched this inheritance war, seeing that Suzuki was about to win, and secretly glad for her that Suzuki was smart enough, but her grandmother was only fourteen years old when she died, and she was actually quite weak.
She smiles all the time, but when she's alone, I'm afraid she often tosses and turns, and she's so scared that she can't sleep, right?
Everyone wants to live, and no one wants to die......
Kitahara Shuji tried his best to be a good bodyguard, after all, he didn't want to be turned over in a desperate situation, and he fell in the pre-dawn darkness with Suzuki Noshi, and he was afraid that Dongmei and the others would worry, so he turned around and a group of people came to join in the fun and something happened, and he didn't tell them that he was almost killed.
The situation has calmed down for the time being, whether Suzuki Noki takes over her father's shares through legal procedures, or her father can't insist on taking it naturally, it will take some time, but there is no hurry, and it feels almost impossible to lose.
"This is my grandparents. When Suzuki Noki had nothing to do, she took Kitahara Shuji to visit the third floor of her house, which was where her grandparents lived, after all, her boudoir was smashed, and she was soaked in water, so she couldn't live at all for a short time, so she had to move here temporarily.
Kitahara Shuji looked at Buddha and looked at the posthumous photo, and felt that Suzuki Noki's expression and temperament were more like her grandfather, and her grandmother was more like her grandfather's smile, looking like a very kind middle-aged man, a bit like an office worker, not like the leader of a big consortium, but Kitahara Shuji could feel the slightest cunning, which was comparable to Suzuki Noki's nature, and her grandmother died relatively late, she was a gray-haired old lady, wrinkled, and gave people a feeling of being quite serious and old-fashioned, and she was preoccupied.
This is the elder of the friend, Kitahara Shuji obediently knocked on the rock, reminded the two deceased that he had come to visit, and then put on incense and saluted, and Suzuki Noki smiled and watched from the side, and whispered and joked: "Don't be so serious, they are all their own people, if they are alive, they must also like you." β
"Etiquette cannot be abolished. Kitahara Shuji replied, looking at the two deceased people on the portrait, and suddenly felt a little happy for themIf Suzuki Noki was killed by their son-in-law's mistress, these two people should be quite self-blaming, right?
Noki Suzuki nodded again and again, indicating that what Master Kitahara said was unique, and then pointed to the piano, full of memories: "This is my grandmother's, she is a famous lady from Kansai, she is talented and beautiful, and she plays the piano very well, I often listened to it when I was a child." β
Kitahara Shuji looked at it with great interest and asked, "Do you know how to play?"
"Of course!" Suzuki Noki went directly to the piano bench and sat down, lifted the lid, raised his small pointed chin slightly, and said reservedly: "I am a famous lady in Guanzhong, and I will not lose to my grandmother!"
Kitahara Shuji perked up, sat down obediently, and put on a listening pose, while Suzuki Noki took a deep breath and played a song "Wooden Rattle", which is comparable in nature to China's "Two Tigers", which is a very short kind of nursery rhyme, with a cheerful and simple rhythm.
Kitahara Shuji only thought she wanted to warm her hands, and she didn't care, she was still looking forward to it, but Suzuki Noki turned her head and asked him, "How is it?"
Kitahara Shuji was inexplicable: "That's it?"
Although he can't, but I feel that this level is also the level of elementary school, no, that is, the kindergarten level, right? It seems that many children who have been practicing piano since elementary school will not choose this kind of nursery rhyme to practice fingering, and they feel that it takes them a few hours, and they can play it in eight achievements, which is not difficult at all.
Suzuki Noki was confident: "That's it! As a superior person, it is enough to know that there is such a thing and know how to make a judgment, and you don't have to do it yourself at all!"
Kitahara Shuji looked at her speechlessly, you dead goblin is so talking, it's really like a waste!
I'm looking forward to it in vain, what a waste of feelings!
Noki Suzuki playfully stuck out his tongue, left the piano, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, Lord Kitahara, I'm not kidding you...... I'm not in good health, playing the piano is actually very tiring and physically exhausting, I can't help but study hard, I can only do this, my appreciation ability is still very strong!"
This reason is okay, barely makes sense, Kitahara Shuji has no opinion, and begins to follow Suzuki Noki to see her grandparents' collections. Her grandmother was married into the Izumi Suzuki family, her husband died early, she was widowed for half her life, and the family industry was managed by her son-in-law, so in addition to raising her granddaughter, most of the time was actually spent on social and artistic aspects, and the collection was extremely rich This old lady is not short of money, and built an art museum at home.
If you come to this treasure house and see so many genuine works, you can probably be excited, but Kitahara Shuji basically doesn't know anything about art, so he can only maintain a freshness, or even ...... He didn't appreciate it much.
The rectangular canvas, covered with black paint, and then there are four gray rectangles of various sizes, I don't understand what the painter is trying to express, and I don't even feel like I can talk about geometric beauty.
Seeing him standing still in front of the painting, Suzuki leaned in and asked curiously, "Master Kitahara likes minimalist paintings?"
She is full of interest in exploring all of Kitahara's preferences, and if Kitahara likes this style, she can consider catering to his preferences when she redecorates her boudoir.
Kitahara Shuji hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much does this painting cost?" He, a layman, can only judge the value by the price.
Noki Suzuki recalls for a moment: "Adelaiinhall's work, known for taking expressionism to the point of reaction, was auctioned for $55,000, and is now worth between $35 and 400,000 dollars." β
Kitahara Shuji was a little stunned when he heard this, this ...... I feel that it is easy for a painter to make money, and if you apply paint like this, you can't talk about the technique, and you will get a large amount of income?
But he knew that there must be some doorways in it, and it was not as simple as it seemed, so he honestly admitted: "I can't say I like it, I can't understand it." "For about this lifetime, he can't appreciate the so-called modern art, and it is estimated that he only deserves to listen to Dongmei's milky voice and sing nursery rhymes.
Noki Suzuki's eyes rolled, and he immediately agreed: "Actually, I can't understand it, and my grandmother doesn't understand it either, so I bought it mainly for investment." Buy gold in troubled times, buy antiques in prosperous times, the nature of artworks is the same as antiques, it is a good choice for value preservation investment, mainly because the painter is dead, and the potential for long-term appreciation of the work is very optimistic. β
Kitahara Shuji suddenly looked at Suzuki Noki a little pleasing to the eye, and had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend, but he began to feel that the painter's job was not good After selling the painting, the buyer must be all Suzuki goblins, and eighty percent of them are looking forward to his early death, right?
Suzuki Noki grinned at him, and led him to the other side, away from modernist works, and this time Kitahara Shuji can understand a little bit, but more to listen to Suzuki Noki explain that this goblin is basically equivalent to a waste person in life, lazy and gluttonous, and has countless problems, but you have to admit that she knows a lot about messing around, and it's fun to be with her.
The two of them wandered around for a while, and Kitahara Shuji was full of "eyes", then looked at his watch and suggested to Suzuki Noshi: "It's almost time, go back and review your homework, right?"
Suzuki didn't want to screw him now, so he obediently said, "Okay, listen to Master Kitahara...... Can I help you study? I'm a great student. β
"That's fine, as long as you don't get you wrong. "Kitahara Shuji has no opinion, Suzuki Noki is very good at learning, and his brain is very easy to use.
Noki Suzuki was very happy: "I don't have anything to do, I have to let them wait in advance, and the most important thing is to accompany Master Kitahara!"
Kitahara Shuji sighed: "If only I could talk less crazy things." "But it's okay, at least this goblin is very restrained during this time, and he can't be too demanding if he doesn't lie anymore, if this goblin stays at this level in the future, he can barely accept it.
Suzuki Noki didn't care about Kitahara Shuji's complaints, and walked with his hands behind his back, and just turned out of a corridor, he felt that Kitahara Shuji reached out and gently pulled himself, and quickly hid behind Kitahara Shuji She emptied the third floor again for safety, and the person who suddenly came up was very likely to be an enemy, as long as Kitahara Shuji judged that there was danger, she was responsible for killing her on the spot.
Fortunately, the man also knew how to count, so he greeted from afar: "Miss, there is an urgent matter." β
Suzuki Noki looked at it, it was the housekeeper Aoki Chuan, she was still more at ease with this person, after all, she followed her grandparents at the age of twenty, served the Izumi Suzuki family for more than 40 years, loyal and reliable, usually she was inconvenient to treat this old man too stiffly, so she walked out again, stood beside Kitahara Shuji and asked, "What's wrong, why don't you call us?"
"The president doesn't seem to be able to do it......" After Aoki Chuan approached, he said this in a low voice, and Suzuki Noki was stunned, and couldn't help but be overjoyed to hear that his father was going to hang up and be so happy, and it was estimated that there was such a person in the world.
Aoki Chuan pretended not to see it, lowered his head and got closer, feeling very heavy, and said in a low voice: "The old lady told me something before she died, let me tell you when the eldest lady takes charge of the fire and earth meeting again, I feel that now is the time, is it convenient for you now, eldest lady?"
Suzuki Noki was a little surprised, what other secrets did she not know at home? She immediately said, "It's convenient, just say it." β
Aokigawa didn't say anything, just glanced at Kitahara Shuji slightly, and Kitahara Shuji hesitated, understanding that the old man was afraid that the secret would be heard by outsiders, which was normal, but he just didn't know whether to leave Suzuki Noshi's side.
Noki Suzuki believed him very much: "Kitahara is not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if you say it directly." β
Kitahara Shuji's scalp tingled, it's good to trust him, and he will be worthy of this trust, and it really won't hurt Suzuki Noki, but isn't this an outsider but an insider? That's not right!
Aokigawa lowered his head and hesitated, and insisted: "I'm sorry, Miss, I was told that I could only tell Miss Major. β
Suzuki Noki can't figure out what's going on, and Aoki Kawa is a loyal servant of the family, and she grew up watching her, and she belongs to the most reliable group of people except Kitahara Shuji, and after thinking about it, he motioned to Kitahara Shuji to stay away first If he really wants to know, then I'll tell him later.
Kitahara Shuji didn't want to be this "insider", after this period of contact, he felt good about this old loyal servant, and walked away directly, not to mention eavesdropping, and looked at a black pottery tea bowl in the corridor very morally, feeling that this thing is not cheap, and the Izumi Suzuki family has more than ten generations, from the local small wealthy family to the overlord of the economic circle in Guanzhong, and the accumulation is not ordinarily rich.
"Can you say it now?What did my grandmother leave behind?" Suzuki Noki still looked at Kitahara Shuji, and wanted to go over to discuss the tea bowl with him, but Aoki Kawa took two steps closer, lowered his head and said faintly, "The old lady said ......"
As he spoke, he pulled a small revolver out of his pocket and fired two shots at Suzuki in quick succession. 2k reading web
