The call notification sounded for a while, and Suzuki Sonoko patiently sat on the sofa and waited.

After a few seconds, the prompt disappeared, and Mao Lilan's low voice came from the microphone, "Yuanzi."

Suzuki Sonoko perked up, jumped up from the sofa, and immediately reacted. She covered her mouth and looked around for a while, then whispered back, "Xiaolan!"

I don’t know how many days it has been since I came to New York, but Suzuki Sonoko is not happy at all.

The first is the first accident.

Not long after arriving in New York, her father said that he would consider some plans based on the children's preferences, so he specifically asked her for 'help' and took her to visit the Asimov Research Institute.

That’s ‘help’!

Of course Suzuki Sonoko happily agreed.

As a result, not long after arriving at the institute, when she was carried away by a beautiful sister to feed her dessert, the alarm in the institute suddenly sounded. They happened to be in the elevator at the time. The pretty sister reacted quickly and went crazy.

Pressing the button on the first floor, almost within a minute of the alarm going off, she was handed over to the bodyguards downstairs.

But the beautiful sister is almost useless, her father is still upstairs!

After sending her off, the beautiful sister rushed back. Although the bodyguards were also very worried and anxious, they stopped her and refused to let her go up. They were also unwilling to go up to save her father, saying that they had just received an order to protect the little lady.

Fortunately, nothing happened that night, everything was safe, and the bodyguards also breathed a sigh of relief.

They relaxed too early. Suzuki Sonoko, who was relieved at the same time as them, took up her breath again not long after she relaxed.

Because something is wrong with Shiro Suzuki.

She was a child and rarely got along with Suzuki Shiro when he was at work, so she didn't know if her father's status at work had changed, but in his private life, major changes had definitely taken place.

The first is temper. Suzuki Shiro once suddenly got angry at home and blamed the cleaning staff for entering his study and moving things around. He also said, "Didn't I tell you not to enter my study again!"

The cleaning staff felt aggrieved and said that when cleaning, they always walked around the study and never went in, so how could they possibly move things around.

After dismissing this staff member, Shiro Suzuki hired another cleaning staff and installed a camera in the study.

Not long after, Suzuki Sonoko saw him walking into the study a little tiredly. After a while, he frowned and walked out with suppressed anger. He called the cleaning staff and entered the study together.

But they didn't argue. The cleaning staff came out with a confused look on her face and said that the chairman just asked her to look at the unattended surveillance to confirm that she had not entered the study room, and praised her for completing the request very seriously.

Since then, Suzuki Sonoko has never seen Suzuki Shiro conflict with the cleaning staff again, nor has she ever seen him say that his study had been tampered with.

It stands to reason that it is just a small thing in the past.

However, based on intuition, Suzuki Sonoko just felt something was wrong. She felt that her father was acting strangely. He had been particularly tired and suspicious recently. He also increased the number of security personnel, increased the frequency of patrols, and began to stay in the study more often.

Make a phone call...

Followed by the second accident.

Time, generation, square, field.

For the same reason, Suzuki Shiro seriously asked, "I really don't understand children's things, so Sonoko can help me and see if children like the activities in Times Square?", Suzuki Sonoko happily agreed again.

, and noticed something was a little wrong.

Her father seemed to have noticed that she had recently been worried about her father's changes, and thought she was a little scared, so he apologized and wanted to play with her.

Then, Suzuki Sonoko didn't even get the badge. They went there relatively late. As soon as she handed over the official invitation letter and was worried about which cutie to choose, the big screen in Times Square lit up.

There was an attack.

At that time, Suzuki Shiro's reaction was not right.

When Suzuki Sonoko saw the strange change on the big screen, she didn't react immediately. She only realized when she heard the panicked comments from others that someone had attacked the event. When she looked up at her father, she noticed his expression.

Very strange.

It's not the confusion and panic of the people around me, nor is it panic.

But anger.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What those guys said is true...it's true..."

Then, this anger slowly turned into fear. When he felt her tightening her hand, he looked down and looked at her, the expression of fear on his face reached its peak.

Suzuki Sonoko was very troubled by this matter.

Even the happy event of meeting Mao Lilan in New York did not make her happily forget about it and play with Mao Lilan.

"Is your father here?" Mao Lilan asked in a low voice.

Suzuki Sonoko looked up at the study and continued to lower her voice, "He is in the study!"

"Today is also very strange. He has been in the study and his secretary uncle came to see him, but he didn't come out," she added. "I heard from the secretary uncle that he had canceled several important meetings!"

I overheard it, and then I was carried out by Suzuki Shiro.

"That's so strange." Mao Lilan also pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, Kudo Shinichi's voice came from the phone, "Your father is waiting for a call from someone."

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

She clenched her fists and said, "Don't eavesdrop on our phone calls!"

She somewhat understood how her father felt when he took her out of the study. Now she really wanted to take Kudo Shinichi out of Mao Lilan's side!

"Hey, let me tell you, you have been discussing it for two or three days," Kudo Shinichi ignored that sentence and asked instead, "Have you never thought about telling your father?"

"Tell Mr. Suzuki about your worries."

Then Mr. Suzuki can quickly clean up his strange behavior. Otherwise, if this continues, Kudo Shinichi feels that sooner or later, Suzuki Sonoko will be able to figure out "My father is threatened", and the person who threatens Mr. Suzuki will probably pay the same attention.

to her.

This is probably something Mr. Suzuki definitely doesn't want to see.

"How do you know I didn't say it!" Suzuki Sonoko immediately raised her voice, "I said it a few days ago!"

A few days ago, she tentatively asked Suzuki Shiro during afternoon tea time, saying that her father felt very haggard recently. Did something happen? She had been feeling weird recently...

Kudo Shinichi asked: "What then?"

"Then..." Suzuki Sonoko's voice lowered, "He apologized to me and said that he has been too busy recently."

The apology was sincere and the reason was very sufficient, at least in the eyes of a child. It said how busy I have been recently and so on.

Suzuki Sonoko thought it was her illusion.

As a result, just yesterday, Suzuki Shiro suddenly said, "Sonoko, your mother has always wanted to travel around New York. Yesterday she and I discussed going. It happens that you are about to start school soon. Why not go and play together? After playing, go back to Tokyo to go to school."

.'.

Even a child is not a fool!

Kudo Shinichi understood clearly, "He is sending you away."

"I'm not an idiot, of course I know!" Suzuki Sonoko said angrily, she waved her fist, "Damn it, what on earth is going on! I told my mother secretly, and she also said that my father was too busy, and I felt wrong

Got it!"

"It's too dangerous for children to be exposed to these things. Of course they don't want you to be exposed to them too early." Kudo Shinichi was very calm.

Suzuki Sonoko puffed up her face, "That's not what you said when you were looking at those documents with great interest. Only Xiaolan can stand you looking at pictures of the discovery scene!"

Mao Lilan whispered: "It's indeed almost time to start school... Do you plan to go out with auntie?"

Of course that's impossible!

She must crack the 'father's anomaly' case!

Just as Suzuki Sonoko was about to raise her head to answer, she suddenly heard the sound of the study door opening.

"Sonoko, are you talking to your friend on the phone?" Suzuki Shiro walked out and pressed his eyebrows tiredly.

Suzuki Sonoko's flames were immediately extinguished, and she answered obediently, "It's Xiaolan."

"Oh, that's no wonder," Suzuki Shiro suddenly realized, and then added, "Do you still want to continue chatting? Then use your mobile phone to call. Mom is waiting for you below."

well……?

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, "Mom has arrived in New York?"

"Yes," Suzuki Shiro glanced at the time, "Mom brought some of your luggage from home. No need to pack it anymore, just go."

"Come, I'll take you down."

Suzuki Sonoko: “!

"

How is that possible! She hasn’t figured out the abnormalities in recent times!

She shouted: "Dad——"

"Good boy, I've been really busy recently," Suzuki Shiro looked at the time again and hurried over, "Say goodbye to your friends first and wait on the car to make a phone call. Don't keep mom waiting."

He picked up Suzuki Sonoko, quickly packed the stuff downstairs, and stuffed it directly into his wife's car. He also told his wife, "Be sure to pay attention to safety, don't go to places with few people, and call me immediately if you have any questions. And

Security…”

"We can't get rid of them, I know." His wife said helplessly, "Don't be too hasty, Shiro, don't let us affect your judgment."
