Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 241 Karasuma Heir

When Suzuki Sonoko stood in the Mori Detective Agency, she looked a little angry.

"Ran, have you contacted Xiaoguang recently?" Suzuki Sonoko walked into the room with her hands on her hips and sat down on the sofa next to Mao Lilan. "I can't contact him. Last time you said he had a concussion, right? It's been more than a week and he's still not well?"

"Sonoko..." Mao Lilan looked at her blankly.

"Don't be in a daze, I'm asking you." Suzuki Sonoko patted Mao Lilan's thigh, "I wanted to ask him if he would attend the press conference for the new successor of the Karasuma Group, but the call was always unreachable. Hey, I remember that Conan has Mr. Hamura's contact information, right? This concussion lasted for a long time."

"You've been in a trance these past few days at school. What's wrong? Shinichi, haven't contacted me in a long time? Can't get through on the phone?"

Mao Lilan seemed to remember now that no one had told Suzuki Sonoko about this, and Nagai Hikaru had never held a funeral: "Xiao Guang...something happened."

Suzuki Sonoko's expression turned serious: "Is his concussion serious this time?"

"He..." Ran Mao Li opened her mouth but couldn't continue.

"Amnesia? Any permanent damage to the body?" Suzuki Sonoko covered her mouth in shock. "Could it be that he cut his hair to heal his wounds and hid himself away from people?"

"The building that was blown up in Shibuya last time, the one that burned down five floors." Mao Lilan said slowly, "He is inside and has not come out."

The air was suddenly silent. Suzuki Sonoko stared at Mao Lilan, and after a while she said, "Ran, isn't this joke funny? He was burned?"

Mao Lilan shook her head slowly.

Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief.

"He didn't come out, he fell in there..." Mao Lilan burst into tears again, tears streaming down her face. She lowered her head and covered her face. "When the police found Xiaoguang, they could only use DNA to verify that it was him. I didn't dare to look... I didn't dare to look..."

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned. She looked at the crying Mao Lilan and asked in a trembling voice after a while: "You said that among the three people killed in the Shibuya bombing, one of them was Xiaoguang?"

"I asked Officer Takagi repeatedly, and I also asked Officer Megure..."

.

"Sonoko, are you still going? Karasuma Group's press conference." The Suzuki couple at the door knocked on the door worriedly.

"I'm not going! I'm not going anywhere!" Suzuki Sonoko shouted outside.

Suzuki Tomoko held her face and said worriedly, "That Xiaoguang and Sonoko were childhood friends. This time, the accident happened... It's too unexpected."

Shiro Suzuki sighed, and then his cell phone vibrated. He picked up the phone to read the email he had just received.

I was shocked after reading it.

"what happened?"

Tomoko Suzuki has already put on her dress. She is wearing a black evening gown with a large lapel and the latest limited edition Fusha painted ginkgo leaf brooch.

"Wasn't Xiaoguang part of Lemon Technology's shareholders before? Now it has become the one from the Karasuma family..."

"Is this the heir to the Karasuma family who will be announced at this press conference?" Suzuki Tomoko covered her mouth in surprise.

The door suddenly opened, and Suzuki Sonoko, with red and swollen eyes, looked at Suzuki Shiro: "Press conference... the press conference of the heir of the Karasuma family, I want to go."

"Okay...Okay. Let's get the makeup artist over."

"The person who took Xiaoguang's shares... is the heir of the Karasuma family?" Suzuki Sonoko looked straight at Suzuki Shiro.

"Yes, that's the case according to our business research," Suzuki Shiro explained, "but we don't know yet whether this equity change is an inheritance or a sale."

"I'm going to go see that person. Call the makeup artist and stylist over, and the dress. I want a black one."

"it is good."

In the lobby of the Twin Sakura Hotel, people gathered together and talked quietly about the new person in charge of Karasuma. It was said that the previous person had retired secretly, and now all the power of Karasuma had been handed over to the heir.

"But I've known the person in charge of the Karasuma Group since I was a child, but he has never appeared in the media." Suzuki Tomoko said, holding a small glass of champagne and slightly covering her mouth, "It's a family that likes mysticism."

"This time, announcing the successor with great fanfare is contrary to their usual practice." Suzuki Shiro nodded slightly and glanced at Suzuki Sonoko who was looking at the podium expressionlessly. "Sonoko, what's this?"

"You want to take a look, who got Xiaoguang's property in the end?" Suzuki Tomoko tilted her head slightly, and the champagne completely blocked half of her face. "To be honest, this is quite strange. I heard that his guardian is also very young. After the housekeeper took the body, there was not even a funeral ceremony."

"With his net worth, it's normal for the beneficiaries to fight overtly or covertly after something happens. In this case, the funeral may be delayed for ten days or half a month. It's okay as long as we can save face." Suzuki Shiro lowered his voice and whispered in Suzuki Tomoko's ear, "It's a bit troublesome that Sonoko has an inexplicable hatred for the new heir of the Karasuma Group. If it affects future cooperation..."

"No, it's just a momentary anger. She has been sensible since she was a child. But how many times has this happened recently? Many big family groups have lost their elders recently, and new heirs have taken over."

"And none of them are rash youngsters who act recklessly." Suzuki Shiro nodded gently, "They are all heirs who have been secretly trained. I really envy them that illegitimate children have such strength."

Suzuki Tomoko snorted, grabbed Suzuki Shiro's arm, twisted the flesh and spun it around: "What are you envious of?"

"Nothing! Nothing! The garden is very nice, the garden is very nice."

The lights in the hall dimmed, and a spotlight came on, illuminating the podium in the hall. A deep red curtain was drawn in the middle, and a man with short blond hair, wearing a black haori with a pattern, walked out slowly with a white folding fan in his hand.

The venue was extremely quiet. The man walked to the front of the stage, put away the fan that was slightly covering his face, and tapped it on the palm of his other hand: "Hello, I am Karasuma Akimitsu."

Under the spotlight, his blue eyes were extremely bright. He slowly scanned the silent hall and said, "I would like to inform you that the Karasuma Group and all its subsidiaries will be under my management from now on."

The blunt words caused a slight commotion among the guests.

"That's all." Karasuma Akimitsu swung the white fan in his hand, opened it again, and gently fanned his face. "Over." He turned around and was about to leave.

Someone below suddenly asked loudly: "Excuse me, are you the head of the Karasuma family now?"

Karasuma Akimitsu turned his head and looked into the darkness below the stage: "Yes."

"Will there be any reforms to the family business? What is the company's operational strategy direction? Why don't you tell us about these?" The voice continued to come from the darkness.

Karasuma Akimitsu frowned slightly, then relaxed: "That is an internal matter of our group and has nothing to do with you. If there are any changes to the cooperating company, there will be legal communication." After saying that, he turned back, raised the fan and flipped it. The spotlight dimmed, and a few seconds later the lights in the hall came on. There was no one on the stage, and the curtain had been restored.

Some of the guests were stunned, while others gathered together and whispered.

Suzuki Sonoko opened her eyes wide, was stunned for a moment, and turned her head suddenly: "Dad, it seemed that I saw Xiaoguang just now?"

"Karasuma Akimitsu...you can also call me Xiaoguang." Suzuki Shiro answered, touching his chin.

Suzuki Tomoko was also a little stunned. She turned her head and looked at Suzuki Sonoko: "Um, your childhood friend, as I remember, was Nagai Hikaru. You looked very similar to him. Brother or sister?"

"What brother and sister? That's Xiao Guang! They look exactly the same! With short hair and wearing a men's kimono, do you think I can't recognize you?" Suzuki Sonoko lifted up the hem of her black skirt and rushed towards the backstage with a menacing look.

Suzuki Shiro raised his hand to stop him, but Suzuki Tomoko held him back and shook her head: "He's her friend of more than ten years, she won't make a mistake easily."

Suzuki Sonoko arrived at the backstage door and hesitated before drawing the curtain: Is it really Xiaoguang? The voice sounded different, slightly low, with a lazy and casual flavor. Even if I had heard Xiaoguang's male voice before, it was always clear and crisp.

"Master, do you want to go to the lounge?"

This is Xiao Guang! Suzuki Sonoko suddenly pulled open the curtain separating the backstage from the outside. Inside, Karasuma Akimitsu was looking at his phone while slightly tilting his head to talk to the person next to him: "Let's go to the lounge. These people are really troublesome."

"Mr. Hamura!" Suzuki Sonoko looked at the man standing next to Karasuma Akimitsu, "As expected, it's Hikaru!"

"You are...?" Karasuma Akimitsu tilted his head slightly, "The one from the Suzuki family?"

Suzuki Sonoko stared at him blankly, tears gradually forming in her eyes: "Do you know how scared I was, Xiaoguang? They said you were dead..."

Karasuma Akimitsu looked at Suzuki Sonoko with some surprise as she shed tears. He elegantly raised his hand to take off the folded scarf on the chest of Hamura Shuichi's suit, opened it and held it in his hand.

Then he walked up to Suzuki Sonoko and wiped the tears from her face: "Ms. Suzuki, did you mistake me for someone else?"

Suzuki Sonoko grabbed Karasuma Akimitsu's hand that was wiping her tears, pulled it to her nose and blew her nose with the handkerchief: "Xiao Guang, how did you become a member of the Karasuma family? If you were here, who was the body in Shibuya?"

Karasuma Akimitsu smiled gently and said, "Ms. Suzuki, you may have recognized the wrong person. It is true that there is Hikaru in my name, but I am probably not the same Hikaru you know."

"..." Suzuki Sonoko was still holding Karasuma Akimitsu's hand, her tears still lingering, "You're...you're kidding, right?"

"Ah?" Karasuma Akimitsu looked at Suzuki Sonoko with a completely unfamiliar look, which did not seem fake.

Suzuki Sonoko turned around with tears in her eyes and looked at Hamura Shuichi standing next to her: "Mr. Hamura?"

"Ms. Suzuki, this is Karasuma Akimitsu, my new head of the family." Shuichi Hamura bowed slightly.

"...Liar." Suzuki Sonoko let go of Karasuma Akimitsu's hand, "Akira, you are kidding me, right? Because you never told us that you are from the Karasuma family... so you were embarrassed to tell me."

"Ms. Suzuki, it's our first meeting, but if the Suzuki family is willing to form an alliance with us," Karasuma Akimitsu folded his fan, used the handle of the fan to lift Suzuki Sonoko's chin, and said with a smile, "I would be extremely happy."
