Chapter 32 Section 32

When Nanao learned that Himuro Yuki was one of Shimabara Soichiro's doctors in charge, she hesitated.He does not intend to disclose here the reasoning that the target of the intimidator may be Shimabara, because if it is leaked out, he is afraid that this hypothesis will become a rumor out of control. However, perhaps you can tell the female doctor what you think.After meeting several times, he has reason to believe that she is an extremely rational and responsible woman.Regarding this incident, she had been involved in it from the very beginning, and knew the whole context of the incident better than anyone else.More importantly, she is the daughter of Kensuke Himuro.

"Actually, this is my personal idea..." Nanao went all out and decided to speak out her reasoning.The target of the intimidation criminal may be Soichiro Shimabara, and the prisoner may also be the victim of a defective car of Arima Corporation. Himuro Yuki looked a little surprised, but his expression hardly changed, and the eyes under the long eyelashes were only slightly widened. "If my reasoning is correct, then the prisoner should have approached Mr. Shimabara in some way, because he will definitely collect information about the condition, the scheduled time of the operation, and so on."

Xi Ji nodded while listening, but after listening, she tilted her head slightly and thought. "I understand what you're saying. But if that's the case, why threaten the hospital? The prisoner insists on the hospital admitting to medical negligence. The two things have nothing to do with each other?" "That's right, that's why I didn't dare to report to my boss." In fact, it was for other reasons, but Nanao gave this explanation at this time. "It's just that I think there is such a possibility. The prisoner's series of demands is a kind of blindfold."

"what do you mean?" "His purpose may be to mislead the police. In fact, the police are currently conducting a thorough investigation on the inside of the hospital and related people. No one is focusing on the connection between the prisoner and Mr. Shimabara or Arima Car, of course, I am an exception .” Yuki's gaze moved away from Nanao, and stared diagonally downward.Her expression was clearly pondering the implications of his words.It seems that her personality is probably not to just listen to it, but to chew and digest it before giving up. "If so, the prisoner must be very sure of his actions."

"How to say?" "Because, even if it is to disrupt the direction of the investigation, the risk of sending a threatening letter is very high after all! The best proof is that besides Mr. Nanao, there are many policemen coming and going in and out of the hospital. For the criminal, it is necessary to commit a crime under such circumstances It is very difficult. However, he chose to send threatening letters, which shows that he is very sure of his actions." Nanao nodded. "What you said is absolutely right. It is worthy of being the daughter of the ice room police department. Most people would not think of this."

"Sorry, I'm so self-righteous." She bowed her head embarrassedly. "Where, this is a very worthwhile opinion." "What does the prisoner want to do? Of course it has something to do with Shimabara-san's surgery, right?" "If the prisoner's target is really Mr. Shimabara, of course it's relevant. In my opinion, I'm afraid he wants Mr. Shimabara's life." Maybe it was because the words were too intense, Xi Ji froze for a moment. "I would like to ask again. Based on the hypothesis just mentioned, have you thought of anything? It doesn't matter how trivial it is. The prisoner must have collected information through some means, and Shimabara was admitted to the Teito University Hospital. With this level of news coverage, the prisoner should be unable to take any action."

Xi Ji crossed her arms and bit her lip.The face with a serious expression has no makeup at all, and the facial features are beautiful.Does she have no admirers?Nanao couldn't help thinking of unimportant things. "Although the hospital seems to be closed, it is actually a very open place. Even if there are strangers walking in the corridor, no one will pay attention to it. Rather, there are these people everywhere in the hospital. So you asked if there is anything suspicious Characters, if they didn’t do something weird, most people wouldn’t remember them. However, after hearing Nanao-san’s words, I will pay more attention in the future.”

What she said made sense.Doctors like them probably only care about patients, and don't pay much attention to visitors other than patients. Xi Ji is willing to help, which is a great help to Nanao.If the prisoner approaches, she should pay attention.Nanao had such a premonition for no reason. "I'm sorry to trouble you. Having said so much, it's just my guess. Maybe it's completely wrong. Those threatening letters and smoke pipes may still be a hoax." Xi Ji's expression is not cheerful, maybe she also thinks that the possibility of pranking is very low. "Please do one thing, don't tell anyone what I just said. In fact, I didn't even tell Professor Xiyuan. I will tell him when it is necessary."

Xi Ji smiled wryly and nodded. "Okay, I know that, trust me." "Sorry to take up your time when you are so busy. Then I take my leave." Nanao got up from the sofa. Xi Ji also stood up. "Mr. Nanao..." "yes!" She showed hesitation for a moment, and then looked at Nanao with a determined expression. "I want to ask Nanao-san something unrelated to the incident." "What's up?" "Father's business." "Replenishment from the police department?" When Nanao asked this question, there was a voice in the corridor, and Xi Ji's expression looked very embarrassed.It seems that the user of this room has returned.

"Can we talk outside?" she asked. "it is good." Nanao slammed the door open, and the two young doctors seemed taken aback and stopped.They were about to enter this room.Nanao nodded to them, walked out of the room, and Xi Ji followed behind him. Take the elevator to the first floor and walk out of the hospital.Yuki stopped at the place where the ashtray was set up, and seemed to be considerate of Nanao. "A few days ago, you told me the reason why my father resigned from the police." Yes, Nanao nodded in agreement, picked up a cigarette, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"My father was chasing suspicious people, and a middle school student died in a car accident..." "What happened to that?" Nanao lit a cigarette, frowned, pretending to be smoked. "Do you remember the name of that middle school student?" Sure enough, it was this matter, Nanao thought, that was the topic he didn't want to touch. "Why are you asking this now?" "That boy," she ignored his question, "is his surname Xiyuan?" Nanao smoked silently, and from Xi Ji's tone, she could tell that she didn't know anything about it, and Nanao also regretted her talkativeness. "Am I right? Sure enough. It's the son of...Professor Xiyuan from our department?" "If yes, so what?" "When did Mr. Nanao know?" "I just remembered it not long ago. Because I was so preoccupied with the case that I didn't realize it for a while, and it was a long time ago." "Why didn't you tell me?" "It's purely because I didn't remember it when I saw you last time. Besides, I don't think it's necessary to tell you. If I did, it might become my meddling." Xi Ji blinked and lowered his eyes.From Nanao's point of view, it seemed that she had been hit. "So, didn't you learn from that professor after knowing this?" Nanao asked. Xi Ji shook his head. "I don't know anything. The reason why my father resigned from the police was only known to you last time when you told me." "Ah... that's true." "My mother didn't say anything, and neither did Professor Xiyuan..." "Does the professor know?" "I think he knows." Xi Ji said in a firm tone, "I think he knew from the very beginning, from the moment he met my father." "See the police department?" Regarding Nanao's question, she showed a hesitant expression, and then took a deep breath. "The one who operated on my father was Professor Xiyuan." "Hey!" Nanao's smoke almost fell.Only then did he realize that the ash had burned for a long time, so he extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and threw it away. "Really?" Xi Ji nodded. "Mr. Nanao really doesn't know about this." "It's the first time I've heard of it, because I didn't expect the attending doctor from the police department at all." Said, Nanao looked at her again. "So, you decided to study under Professor Xiyuan because you knew that Professor Xiyuan had operated on your father?" "Yes. I chose to study medicine at Imperial University because of him." "I see. Ah, but..." Nanao swallowed the question that suddenly appeared in his mind. However, Xi Ji seemed to see through his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Is it strange to study under a doctor who couldn't save my father?" "Where, what do you think, ordinary people like us don't quite understand it." "I decided to do this because I had my own thoughts. It is also true that my father entrusted his life to him." Nanao nodded deeply. "Indeed. Since he is someone trusted by the ice room police department, he may also be the most worthy teacher for you." However, Xi Ji frowned, and Nanao knew that she had guessed wrong when she saw her expression. "Mr. Nanao, no matter what the reason is, how do you think the doctor will deal with the person who killed your son as a patient?" Nanao was speechless at Yuki's words.If Himuro Kensuke's attending doctor is Xiyuan, then the situation is indeed as complicated as she said. At the same time, he also found that she had doubts about Dr. Xiyuan's operation. "I'm not a doctor, so I don't understand, but no matter what the situation is, you should face it with the same attitude, right? That's the only way to be professional." Xi Ji shook his head. "I can't do it. If it were me, I must be in a mess." Nanao stared at her.Could it be that this young female doctor has suspected the doctor who held the knife since the time her father died?In order to find the answer, she boldly chose to study under that doctor—thinking about it this way can explain why she had that expression just now. "This matter, what do you say to the wife of the police department... and Lingtang?" I saw Xi Ji shaking his head slowly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but that kind of smile made people want to describe it as a sneer. "I didn't say anything because my mother was his accomplice." "Partner? You mean..." Xi Ji's smile disappeared, and she licked her lips, showing an expression of wanting to vent her inner depression.But finally he sighed. "I'm sorry, I said a lot of incoherent words, please forget about this." "Miss Himuro..." "Sorry for delaying your work, please don't mention this matter to Professor Xiyuan." "Of course I won't." "Excuse me. I must go, then, thank you." "Ah, where, I should thank you." Watching Yuki's back, Nanao took out a cigarette again. At this time, the phone rang, and the caller ID was Sakamoto, presumably because he was very annoyed at his partner's solo show.Nanao was smoking a cigarette, waiting for the bell to stop.
