Chapter 170: The Princesses in the Castle
Kitahara Shuji paid attention to the movement around him and put Suzuki Noki on a platform in the sewer to rest for a while. Running with people on his back, whether it's the one who runs or the one who is carried, it's uncomfortable, especially Suzuki Noki's body is very weak, and he can't die for a while, but he doesn't seem to have many good parts on his body.
Sewers in Japan have always been well built, but it is not the so-called "craftsmanship" that is forced to do so.
Typhoons come at least three times a year, five or six times more, each time it comes is a strong wind and heavy rain, the rainfall starts with 50 mm, often more than 100, and it is usually rainy weather, if the sewer is not well repaired, the city has already soaked - the city is not unable to flood, the sewer is well repaired in recent years, there have been accidents, and dozens of people have drowned at a time.
And rainwater accumulation can cause a lot of diseases, for example, Japan has been rampant with schistosomiasis, cystedema, people marched in the streets and almost blew the head of the ruling party, and then there is today's sewer system - legislation, Japan has a special "Sewer Law" Rainwater and domestic sewage are discharged separately from the two systems, and the sewer standards for rain and flood drainage are quite high, concrete pouring, the main pipeline is wide enough to drive, the flood discharge shaft is more like a missile silo, and the drainage machine room is directly on the high-power pump pulled by the aircraft engine.
Of course, as a sewer, no matter how well it is repaired, it is still a sewer, not to mention very cold, the smell is not very good, full of damp and rotten smell, and in addition to special maintenance personnel, ordinary people will not come down, and the supervision intensity is incomparable with the ground- Kitahara Shuji and Suzuki were chased by people, even if the sirens were getting louder and louder, those gangsters didn't mean to run away, they had to catch Suzuki Noki or kill her first, they instantly substituted for this gang of gangsters and thought about what to do if they were chased by the police for a while, and immediately thought of escaping from the rain well.
By the time the police reacted, the gangsters had already run into the sea along the channel, and they wanted to come there to pick up the boat - if they had caught or killed Suzuki Noki, maybe they would have just abandoned the car and fled, leisurely, without having to stage a police and bandit war like in the movie.
Kitahara Shuji and Suzuki Noki thought of doing it immediately, the other party was going to escape the police along the sewer, then they took the first step and also took the sewer to escape the pursuit of the other party, and it really worked, it hasn't rained in Nagoya City recently, and there is basically no water in the rainwater drainage pipe, and it really extends in all directions, dark and wide, except for not being able to see clearly, there is no particularly big problem - Kitahara Shuji found a flashlight from the dead body - it is better than running on the ground, and in a blink of an eye, Kitahara Shuji slipped away with Suzuki on his back.
No, no, carrying Suzuki Noki on his back to fight with a white blade, Kitahara Shuji tried it once, and felt quite troublesome, not only his speed and movements were affected, but also to guard against Suzuki Noki being stabbed, and fighting alone are two different things, but he can't leave Suzuki Noki and just kill people - kill the bandits and run away, even if he turns around and awards him a prize for righteousness and bravery, but Suzuki Noki is still busy in vain when he is captured, so what's the trouble? He is not a righteous hero, and he has no natural obligation to eliminate violence and peace.
The purpose is to save people, not to fight against evil forces -- let the police do it, and they will receive their salaries.
So he ran all the way with Suzuki on his back, for fear that the other party would find out that they had come down and continued to chase, so it would become a cocoon and self-restraint, and the two of them had time to take a breath after running a long distance.
Shuji Kitahara placed Suzuki and sat down cross-legged with the knife, trying to recover his strength, while Suzuki sat there and slowed down for a while and said softly: "I don't know what happened to Ah Pan......
Kitahara Shuji didn't answer, feeling that Ah Pan was afraid that he would be more than lucky. But there is no way, after all, it is to eat that bowl of rice, and you should have been mentally prepared.
Suzuki didn't hear Kitahara Shuji speak, and the flashlight was also turned off to save power, and he couldn't see anything in the darkness all around, so he suddenly felt tight, and quickly touched around and grabbed one of Kitahara Shuji's arms, for fear that this guy would run away and leave her here alone.
Kitahara Shuji still ignored her, and remembered that he should call Yoko to say something, but he took out his mobile phone and found that there was no signal, presumably because the communication operator didn't take into account the problem of underground calls, and didn't get a signal adapter or anything like that. And this is a little light Suzuki Noki calmed down a lot, looked at Kitahara Shuji's angular face in the low light, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to ask something?"
She wanted to speak, but her hands and feet were cold, her heart was still hurting, she had to shift her attention, and it was so dark and silent that she felt very depressed.
Kitahara Shuji didn't give up holding his mobile phone and shook it, wanting to see if he could shake out a signal, and said casually: "I don't want to." ”
"Don't want to know why those people are chasing me?"
"Don't want to know. Kitahara Shuji is still the same rhetoric. He really didn't want to, he just happened to have this incident, and the more he knew, the deeper he fell, and tomorrow he was going to pretend that he didn't know Suzuki Noki.
But he didn't want to know, but Suzuki wanted him to listen, grabbed one of his arms tightly and smiled, "Okay, I'll tell you." ”
Kitahara Shuji shook his phone and said again: "What I said is that I don't want to hear it." ”
"My real name is Rika, and Noki's name is a fake - I'm the eleventh heir of the Suzuki family. Noki Suzuki, or should I say Riki Suzuki, didn't care whether Kitahara Shuji wanted to hear it or not, and insisted, "My father is now in charge of the Daifuku Industrial Group and is the chairman of the 'Fire and Earth Society' that controls the Daifuku Industrial Group and its affiliated companies. ”
Suzuki Noki looked at Kitahara Shuji's frowning brows, didn't stop at all, and continued to smile: "My father is in our family, our family was in charge of the shogunate in the era, and after the reform, it was the Chinese family, but it was the kind of inconspicuous local Chinese family, without a title, and then the Chinese system was abolished, and our family began to do business, with the help of the previous family connections, after four generations there is the current Daifuku Industrial Group." ”
Suzuki Noki whispered in the dark, "My grandfather is an only daughter of my mother, in order to inherit the family business, he personally chose my father as a son-in-law, carefully cultivated, and after he passed away, my father took over the chairman's position, and not long after I was born, my mother also passed away - our family doesn't seem to be in good health, it seems that she didn't live past the age of fifty, and my mother died in her twenties." ”
"After my mother passed away, I lived with my grandmother, and my grandmother also ...... a year and a half ago" Suzuki Noki was in the dark, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, but there was a faint sadness in his tone, it seemed that she had the best relationship with her grandmother, and Kitahara Shuji was stunned, is this a family that is basically dead? They all died of illness? Isn't medical technology quite developed now, your family should be very rich, why did you die so quickly?
But at least Noki Suzuki is in poor health.
He couldn't help but listen carefully to Suzuki Muki's breathing, and found that the breath was really short, and recalled the situation when he checked Suzuki Muki's body in the café last time, remembering that she didn't seem to be able to do intense exercise, so he quickly held her wrist again, but before he could activate the [Looking, Smelling, Asking] skill, he felt that she was trembling continuously.
He couldn't help asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Yes, I'm so cold and flustered. ”
"I'll take you out right away. Kitahara Shuji checked it with his skills, and found that Suzuki Noki's heart rhythm was slightly out of balance, and there was indeed a precursor to a heart attack, as if everything that had just happened was too exciting for her, and the kind of bumps that were carried on her back were also a great burden on her body.
This sick seedling lives up to its name.
He wanted to help Suzuki Noki up, no matter how much he didn't like this person, but he had to save half of it, but Suzuki Noki refused, and said with a smile: "I've already taken medicine, if I can, please let me rest again...... Don't worry, I have experience and can't die. ”
Kitahara Shuji hesitated for a moment, then sat back down, there is no danger for the time being, the gang of gangsters who can't attack should be busy retreating, it doesn't matter if the police find it or not, and Suzuki Noki is in this situation It is best to sit and lie still, so it doesn't hurt to rest for a while.
Noki Suzuki picked up the topic and continued to laugh: "After my grandmother passed away, she left me a large inheritance - a lot of real estate, equity, jewelry and many antique paintings. Among them, the equity of the core enterprises of the Daifuku Industrial Group is more or less, such as the core bank of the Daifuku Industrial Group, the Nagoya Shigekura Bank, which has 16.23%, which is enough to influence the decision of the board of directors, but I will not be able to fully control it until I have passed the 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and I can't use it at present, and there are only nine independently operated funds for my life, education, security, etc. ”
Kitahara Xiujiao looked at Suzuki Noshi's direction speechlessly, this guy had offered 200 million yuan to let him run quickly, it turned out to be a lie, it sounds like she is spending money to repay the account now, and there is no large amount of cash in her hand at all...... But it doesn't matter, it's not about the money to save her.
But Kitahara Shuji thought of a creepy thing, and couldn't help but answer, "Those people shouldn't be your ......" family inheritance disputes, involving a huge amount of wealth, those people shouldn't be sent by Suzuki Noshi's father to kill his daughter, right?
Noki Suzuki found that Shuji Kitahara finally answered, and smiled happily: "No, my father is not that stupid." I am still far from adulthood, and it seems to him that I am very early to take over a large consortium, he has at least twenty or thirty years to go, and I may have died of illness myself, and at the same time those shares are now managed by him, and the votes are cast by him, the same as belonging to him, and he does not need to kill me at all. ”
"Who's going to kill you?"
Noki Suzuki smiled and said, "Everyone in our family is in poor health, and they get married early in order to have children early, so they ......"
Kitahara Shuji didn't understand, and wondered, "What do you mean?"
"It means that my father is only 39 years old this year, and when he was 21 years old, he took a fancy to my grandfather and married my mother, who was 18 years old at the time, and I was 16 years old when I had me a little more than a year later. ”
Kitahara Shuji somewhat understood, Suzuki Noki's father, as a man, died before the age of thirty, and it is estimated that he was not able to keep the empty house alone, and there was a new woman.
He asked with some sympathy, "Is it your stepmother?"
Suzuki Noki smiled and groaned: "No, I don't have a stepmother, my father is rich, and he inherited the shares that originally belonged to my mother before he became the president, if he remarries, I am afraid it will cause a big turmoil, and will be opposed by many people, and even shake his position, especially at that time my grandmother was still alive and her influence was still there, and he didn't dare to do it anymore - he had four long-term underground lovers outside, and there were countless short-term bed partners, and there should be eight or nine illegitimate children...... Maybe more than a dozen. ”
Kitahara Shuji shook his head, this wealthy family is in chaos! He asked, "Then who is going to kill you?"
"I don't know, it's one of his four women...... They all want to be on top, and they all want to turn Daifuku Industrial Group into their children in the future, and when I die, my grandmother's estate will lose its designated heir, and it will naturally fall into the hands of my father, and in the eyes of those stupid women, it may be a great achievement, enough to be on the throne, and at the same time, Daifuku Industrial Group will naturally fall into the hands of her children in the future- The prerequisite for my father to inherit my mother's shares is that these shares must be passed on to me again in the future, otherwise the inheritance will become invalid, so I am the legitimate heir of the Suzuki family, and the legitimate heir has always been the most hated, like the first prince of a dynasty in ancient China, basically rarely ends well...... It just so happens that I seem to be the first prince, no, the first princess. ”
Noki Suzuki grinned and continued, "If I don't die, they won't even have a chance to fish in troubled waters. I was locked up at home by my grandmother since I was born, and I rarely went out, but I almost died several times. You can go to my house in the future and see the place where I live, and it is definitely worthy of the title of castle - I am the real princess who lives in the castle!"
Suzuki Noki said it very happily, but Kitahara Shuji was even more sympathetic, this money may not be happy, Suzuki Noki may have a lifetime of money in the future, but he also lives in fear all day long, and even her father doesn't necessarily care much about her, maybe he is watching from the sidelines - this daughter was killed by someone else, and he turned back to avenge his daughter, anyway, he didn't kill him, but the Suzuki family is completely his.
Fortunately, Suzuki Noshi's grandmother made preparations to save the life of this single seedling, and if Suzuki Noki had been placed next to her father, she might have "died" long ago.
Kitahara Shuji couldn't help but ask, "In that case, why do you still want to run out and stay in your castle?"
"I've been there for sixteen years, I'm sixteen years old, and I want to go to high school...... And I've been very careful, I bring a large group of bodyguards when I go in and out, but I didn't expect the other party to be so frustrated, he used to poison or something. ”
"Let's stay at home and don't come to school. Kitahara Shuji sincerely persuaded her, it is estimated that Suzuki Noshi's grandmother passed away, no one restrained her, she couldn't stand it at home for more than a year, even if she knew that there was danger, she wanted to run out and have fun - this guy has been in prison for sixteen years!
Noki Suzuki replied obediently, "I know, I'll try to go out as little as possible in the future." ”
Kitahara Shuji nodded, holding Suzuki Noshi's wrist to see if she was getting better, and Suzuki Noki said confidently: "Okay, I've told you everything, now it's your turn to say - who are you?"
