Chapter 254 Kogoro Mouri: I've been so badly hurt by alcohol and women...
The Egg of Memories?
Upon hearing this word, Shiro Suzuki and Tequila were both taken aback.
No, what are you doing here looking for the Egg of Memories?
He doesn't have the Egg of Memory either...
"Haha, sir, you jest."
Suzuki Shiro said with a smile to the burly man,
"I'm sure you know about Kidd."
"In response to Kid, Inspector Nakamori of the Metropolitan Police Department has taken the Egg of Memories away for safekeeping..."
"Okay, I see."
The burly man waved his hand dismissively.
"But that's okay."
"Anyway, the Egg of Memories will eventually return to President Suzuki's hands."
"Once we've got you under our control, your wife will have no choice but to hand over the Egg of Memories to us."
The burly man's words left Suzuki Shiro speechless.
Although that's what he said, he still couldn't quite understand it.
What are they after?!
Or rather, what are these people after?
The Egg of Memories is just a toy egg, so why is everyone so enthusiastic about it?
If you want money, valuable artworks and cultural relics, just say so. It's not like we won't give them to you.
For something of value like the Egg of Memories, giving him ten or eight wouldn't be a problem.
However, the other party seemed determined to accept it...
"Alright, enough with the nonsense."
The burly man waved his hand.
"Brothers, come on."
"Be careful, be gentle. Our President Suzuki can't stand being startled."
As soon as he finished speaking, his men behind him began to rub their hands together, eager to try their skills.
Suzuki Shiro quickly spoke up.
"Sir, please don't do anything. I'll go with you."
"that is"
Suzuki Shiro looked at his own four men, then at the enemy's twenty or thirty, and sighed helplessly.
"Could you please let these people leave first? They are just my guests and have nothing to do with the Egg of Memories."
The disparity in strength between us and the enemy is enormous; it seems we have no choice but to surrender and await rescue...
"can."
The burly man agreed without hesitation.
He only wanted Suzuki Shiro; what happened to others was none of his business.
Suzuki Shiro gave Nishino Masato a subtle wink, and Nishino's secretary immediately understood, pulling Kosaka Natsumi and her old butler away.
Upon seeing that a burly man and a man with a small mustache had remained, the strong man frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
"Alright, President Suzuki, I've fulfilled your request."
"Come with me without worry."
Suzuki Shiro was exasperated when he saw that Tequila and Kogoro Mouri still didn't react, but he could only nod.
He was about to obediently surrender and walked towards the burly man...
At this moment, Agave spoke up.
“Wolf”
"Ok?"
Upon hearing the familiar word, the burly man paused slightly, looking at the tequila with some surprise.
"I didn't expect anyone to recognize me."
"Alright, now that you know me, things will be much easier. Just surrender immediately."
"You look like you're quite strong, but no matter how strong you are, you probably can't withstand twenty or thirty of ours."
As he spoke, the burly man codenamed Hungry Wolf ripped open his leather jacket, revealing two pistols at his waist.
Agave's eyes looked somewhat serious.
He was somewhat confident about the person in question.
But the other side had twenty or thirty men, twenty or thirty guns, and he wasn't a superhero like Cherry. He also had no weapons or ammunition, and was completely helpless against them with his bare hands...
"Do it!"
At the wolf's command, his henchmen charged forward.
Because of Suzuki Shiro's status, no one dared to use a pistol.
Moreover, Hungry Wolf was confident that even if the burly man was strong, he was not a waste and could hold him off for a while.
Tequila glanced at Shiro Suzuki.
This guy could be Gin's future father-in-law, so we can't let anything happen to him!
"drink--"
Tequila shouted and ripped off his black trench coat, throwing it aside.
His imposing figure, as tall as a mountain, suddenly lunged forward, his left fist striking one of the henchmen, while his right hand, like a dragon claw, instantly crushed the neck of another.
In an instant, the enemy team lost two members.
The wolf's eyes turned fierce in an instant.
It seems I underestimated my opponent; this wasn't just a little bit of strength, this was extremely strong.
"Get out of my way, I'll deal with him!"
Hungry Wolf shouted at his men, then leaped up and delivered a powerful punch to Tequila's face.
Tequila immediately crossed his arms to block, his body remaining completely still.
The wolf's eyes grew increasingly wary.
I took the initiative and used my body's strength to block the attack, while my opponent simply stood upright to receive it. It was clear that my opponent's strength was extraordinary!
"Come on, come on!"
The hungry wolf let out a fierce roar, its body constantly intertwining with the agave.
The two fought fiercely, but overall, Tequila had the upper hand.
The reason they couldn't quickly take down the enemy was because they were worried that all their underlings were armed and feared the enemy might launch a surprise attack.
Furthermore, Tequila also intends to ensure the safety of Shiro Suzuki.
At least Chairman Suzuki treated him to a drink!
There is an old Chinese saying: "A drop of water in need should be repaid with a spring of water."
Moreover, this wasn't just a small favor from President Suzuki; it was three large jugs of top-quality sake!
We must repay them!
In comparison, Garou's fighting style was completely unrestrained.
Without any restraint, he unleashed his full fighting skills, tearing at the agave like a mad dog.
They were locked in a fierce battle with this difficult big guy, and surely their twenty or thirty henchmen could take down President Suzuki.
Once we get this key figure, the other side will inevitably be hesitant to act, afraid to make any moves...
boom--
Just as Ella was feeling smug, a heavy tremor suddenly came from the ground.
He took a moment to glance at his underlings, only to find that things were clearly not going as smoothly as he had anticipated—
The hungry wolf saw that the mustachioed uncle, whom he had previously taken for granted, had now transformed into a war god, easily defeating several of his subordinates with a few punches and kicks.
Even though he was unarmed, while his men were all armed with knives, they were both frozen in place, not daring to make a move.
"Uh-"
A zoo henchman was once again brutally taken down by Kogoro Mouri with an over-the-shoulder throw.
The other henchmen didn't dare to push any further, fearing they would be the next ones to fall.
This can't happen anymore!
The hungry wolf gritted his teeth in anger.
Despite having a clear advantage, they were somehow routed by just two opponents.
This burly man is one thing, but how come that guy with the mustache is so formidable too?
As expected of the president of the Suzuki Group, his bodyguards are no ordinary people.
Even some of the big company bosses in Europe are harder to deal with...
"Fire! Shoot them!"
The hungry wolf roared at his underlings.
The group of henchmen then realized that they were armed!
So one by one, they pulled out their pistols.
At this moment, Tequila seized the opportunity and sent the hungry wolf flying with a whip kick.
Taking advantage of the opening, he quickly picked up Suzuki Shiro and ran backward.
"Mr. Mori! Let's get out of here! Find cover!"
Tequila didn't forget to shout a reminder to Kogoro Mouri.
Kogoro Mouri also retreated rapidly.
As a former criminal investigator, he naturally knew what to do in this situation.
"hateful!"
The wolf, who had been knocked away, roared and pulled out two pistols, firing them directly in the direction the three were fleeing.
He couldn't care less about all that anymore!
He thought it was just a task to help Spider and the others pick up scraps, but he ended up running into two tough guys and completely lost face!
"Fire!"
bang bang bang-
bang bang bang-
In an instant, gunshots rang out one after another at the Suzuki Museum.
Tequila, holding Suzuki Shiro and with Mouri Kogoro by their side, hid behind a display stand.
There was no other way; although the Suzuki Museum was large, any route to other places would be exposed to gunfire, so hiding here was really just a temporary measure.
Despite the hail of bullets outside, the three members of the Tequila trio showed no signs of despair or fear.
Tequila gave Kogoro Mouri a thumbs-up, sparing no praise.
"Mr. Mori, you're amazing!"
"I never imagined that you not only have an amazing capacity for alcohol, but you are also so skilled in hand-to-hand combat. You truly deserve to be called a renowned detective in Japan!"
"Whoohoo-"
Kogoro Mouri, panting heavily, waved his hand.
"Never mind, Mr. Long is the real expert."
"My body has been severely damaged by years of drinking and womanizing."
He wasn't lying; if it were him at his peak, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
It's not necessarily that their strength has declined by much, but rather that their stamina is not what it used to be.
On the one hand, it's because I'm getting old, and on the other hand, it's because I've always played the fool over the years.
Ugh--
Kogoro Mouri sighed inwardly.
I never imagined that I would be so badly hurt by alcohol and women.
From today onwards........
Okay, nothing happened.
"We owe a lot to the two of you this time."
Shiro Suzuki still had that same smiling expression, but he shook his head with a hint of helplessness.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I would already be in their hands by now."
"President Suzuki, you're too kind,"
Kogoro Mouri's expression turned serious.
“I’ve watched Sonoko grow up since she was a child. As her father, how could I not help you if you were in trouble?”
"Haha, that's right,"
The tequila also laughed heartily.
"If I stand idly by, Gin will probably curse me to death later!"
"A friend in need is a friend indeed!"
Shiro Suzuki sighed once again.
He didn't show it on his face, but he secretly made up his mind that he must not let his benefactor down and that he should repay a small kindness with a great one.
Let's start with a simple figure of a few hundred billion...
"Don't worry, both of you. Secretary Nishino has already gone to request the security team."
Suzuki Shiro was still a little worried about Tequila and the other person, so he quickly brought them some good news.
Tequila and Kogoro Mouri nodded.
It's good to have support, but...
The two of them took out their phones at the same time.
Tequila quickly sent a text message to Lin Jiayou, while Kogoro Mouri dialed Heizo Hattori's number.
Without saying much, Hattori Heizo understood the situation and quickly dispatched the police.
"come out!"
The hungry wolf roared loudly towards the tequila.
"I'll say it one more time: hand over President Suzuki, and I'll spare your lives!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand again, and his henchmen gripped their pistols tightly and surrounded Tequila and his men.
Tequila and Kogoro Mouri felt a chill run down their spines.
Our reinforcements have been slow to arrive, while the enemy has already surrounded us. It seems...
We have no choice but to take a gamble!
The two stood up, ready to unleash their full power and engage in another fierce battle...
Da da da--
Da da da--
Suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps approached from all around.
The hungry wolf's eyes widened suddenly, its fierce gaze sweeping around.
The situation doesn't seem too good...
At the main entrance of the art museum, Secretary Nishino calmly issued orders over a walkie-talkie.
"Group 1, enter from entrance B. The sounds of gunfire are coming from over there."
"Group Two, advance straight through point A and cut off the opponent's retreat."
"Groups three, four, and five, rush to the scene from exits C and D respectively, and ensure the president's safety..."
As he watched the security personnel, fully armed and carrying standard rifles, swarm in, Shiro Suzuki's smile finally broke into a genuine expression.
Surely no one really thinks the Suzuki family are like children clutching gold, completely defenseless...
..........................................
the other side
An arcade in Osaka
"hateful!"
Sherry smashed the fighting game console again in a fit of impotent rage.
"Why did we lose again!"
"hehe,"
Lin Jiayou gave a cold laugh.
"I said, even if we fight a hundred times, I will still win and you will lose, that won't change."
"I do not believe!"
Shiho Miyano gritted her teeth.
From childhood to adulthood, she was always the model child. She published a paper in a world-class journal at the age of thirteen and took over the organization's research tasks at the age of fifteen. There was nothing she couldn't learn!
She couldn't believe that a mere video game could stump her!
"Come again!"
Sherry shouted loudly, then decisively clicked the start button.
However, Lin Jiayou stopped and looked at her phone.
Why aren't you opening it?
Sherry said with dissatisfaction.
Lin Jiayou said calmly,
"It seems something's happened at the tequila plantation."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing that there was something important, Shiho Miyano forgot about the game and immediately pressed Lin Jiayou for answers.
"What happened at Tequila? Did the zoo staff attack Gin's father-in-law?"
"Looks like it is."
After saying that, Lin Jiayou closed his phone and pressed the start button.
Sherry frowned slightly.
"Shouldn't you be going to provide support right now?"
"That's not necessary."
Lin Jiayou said calmly,
"It happened about an hour ago."
"If it was going to be resolved, it has been resolved; if it's going to be gone, it's gone."
"continue."
"Oh, that makes sense. Let's continue."
Sherry nodded.
The two played another round.
This wasn't because they didn't care about their brothers' lives, but because after the battle just now, they had come to understand the strength of the zoo.
In short, Lin Jiayou alone, or Gin with Tequila and the others, could hand over this organization to Yang.
That kind of strength isn't worth worrying about.
We might as well try again...
