Chapter 37 Section 37

The apartment building was a cream-colored building.Nanao ran up the stairs in three steps and two steps, knowing that the other party would not run away, but she couldn't calm down. He stood at the door and pressed the doorbell after confirming the house number.There is no number plate on the door, it may be that women live alone for the sake of caution. The door opened a crack, revealing the face of a young woman, a girl with big eyes, who looked about twenty years old, and seemed to be suitable for wearing a nurse's uniform.However, at this moment, she showed a nervous look. "Are you Ms. Nozomi Mase?" Nanao asked.

"yes." Nanao shows the police handbook. "I'm the Nanao who contacted you just now. I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning. Is it convenient to talk now?" "Ah, convenient." "Then can I go in and disturb? Or do you want to change places?" Momoko Mase lowered his eyes, but quickly shook his head. "It's fine here, but the place is small." "Excuse me." Nozomi Mase closed the door first, then opened the door again after unlocking the chain. "Please come in." Nanao said "excuse me" and stepped into the door.There were many pairs of shoes in the small shoe-off place, and it was not easy to find a place to stand. Nozomi Mase noticed this and quickly put a few pairs of shoes aside.

"It's fine here." Nanao said standing at the shoe-off place.It seemed to be a small suite. If it wasn't for the suspect, he would try to avoid entering the woman's room alone. Nozomi Mase stood facing Nanao.He found that her eye sockets had started to turn red. Before coming here, he only said "I have something to ask" on the phone without mentioning any details, but these few words alone may make Mase Hope to feel something ominous. "I heard you work the night shift tonight?" "yes." "How do you spend your time when you don't go to the hospital? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Nanao's question surprised Nozomi Mase. "Why do you ask such a question? May I ask what's your business?" Nanao took out the photo from the inner pocket of the suit, which was the photo of Haruna Kanbara, and he held the photo in front of her. "Is there anyone you know in this photo?" Nanao stared closely at Nozomi Mase who was staring at the photo.Her eyes fixed on a certain point in the picture for a moment, and her eyelashes fluttered. "Yes." Nanao confirmed. Nozomi raised his face, licked his lips, his expression was confused, he didn't know whether he should answer or not.However, she should really want to know why the criminal police let her see this photo, and she should also want to know why "he" is in the photo, and why the criminal police came to her because of this.

"They look alike, but they may not be the same person..." She finally spoke. "Because it's a photo from a few years ago. Still, it hasn't changed much, has it? Another person who has only seen each other a few times recently recognized this photo." Nanao is talking about Himuro Yuki.She said that she had recently seen the person in this photo in the hospital.She doesn't know the man's name or identity, but she knows an important clue. That is, the other party should be someone that nurse Nozomi Manase knew.Himuro Yuki said that when he saw him late at night, he was with Nozomi Mase.Although the two pretended not to know each other, they could tell from the atmosphere.

Nanao has always attached importance to women's intuition.Because of these words, he contacted Nozomi Mase.At this time, he once again thought that Xi Ji's eyesight was good. "Which one is it?" Nanao asked. Nozomi Mase hesitated for a while, still pointing to a part of the photo: "This man." Seeing the person she pointed out, Nanao couldn't help but shut her mouth tightly.Sure enough, Yuki Himuro was talking about the same person. "Can you tell me the name of this person? And the contact information. You should know, right?" Nanao opened the manual and prepared to copy it.

However, Nozomi Mase didn't answer right away, but looked at the photo and said, "What exactly does this photo mean? Why are you investigating him?" Nanao shook her head. "I'm sorry, this is an investigative secret and we can't disclose details. All I can say is that it is very likely that he was involved in an incident, so we are investigating." "A certain incident refers to the intimidation case at the Imperial University Hospital? How could it be related to him?" "This, I have nothing to say." "Then I won't say anything, I won't say anything." Saying that, Manase Momo pushed the photo in front of him. "Please go back."

Nanao sighed and scratched his head. "Troublesome. If I don't get your assistance, I will have to search your room forcibly. I really don't want to do this kind of thing." "But you can't come in and search right away, can you? Don't you need a search warrant? I read it in a book." Nanao couldn't help but want to click her tongue at her words.Everyone now has this level of knowledge. He looked at his watch, it was past eight o'clock, and Soichiro Shimabara's operation was about to start soon, and the situation was urgent. He took a big breath with a "huh", looked at Nozomi Mase, and made up his mind. "As you said, it is related to the intimidation case. Although I don't know how related the person in the photo is, I want to confirm."

"You mean...he's a prisoner?" Manase Momoko's voice was full of tragedy. "I don't know this yet. There are many things that need to be checked, so I ask you for help." "But Mr. Criminal Police doesn't even know his name? Then how can you doubt him?" "We have sightings, people have seen him in the hospital." She was silent for a while before speaking. "It's Dr. Himuro. I did take him to the hospital a few times, but so what? Many people go to the hospital, why do you have to doubt him?" "It's difficult to explain, and it will involve the privacy of many people, so I can't speak casually. Please understand that we are still in the verification stage."

Mase shook his head. "He is not a prisoner, why would he do such a thing?" "So," Nanao took a step forward, "If you believe him, you should cooperate with the police, so that he can be cleared of suspicion as soon as possible." Mase Wang lowered his head, as if he didn't know how to answer.It can be seen from her expression that she doesn't fully trust her boyfriend. "Miss Mase." When she heard Nanao's call, she raised her head, her eyes were full of tension and urgency. "His name is Naoi Rangji, and he is a very ordinary office worker. He has nothing to do with the Imperial Hospital."

"How to write it?" Nanao took the manual, wrote the four characters Naoi Rangji that Nozomi Mase told him on the manual, and asked for the mobile phone number.Still confused, she walked inside and took out her phone. "Before I tell you the number, I want to ask one thing." "I can't guarantee the answer, but please tell me, what's the matter?" "Rang treat him...why did he threaten our hospital? What motive does he have? Does he have any enmity with our hospital?" Nanao looked away from her.It was difficult to judge whether this question should be answered, but he knew her mood very well. "It's not a hospital," he said. "His real goal is not a hospital. It's just a coincidence that he chose the Imperial City Hospital. There is a person who is admitted to your hospital and is going to be operated on in your hospital. That's the reason why he chose the Imperial City Hospital." "Could that person be..." Nozomi Mase said hesitantly, Nanao looked into her eyes and took another step forward. "You know something, please tell me, who do you think that man is?" "Shimabara...sir." Nanao took a big breath. "He asked you a lot about President Shimabara." She nodded vigorously.Seeing her reaction, Nanao was convinced that everything was coming together. Naoi Rangji got information on Teito University Hospital through Masenomo.It is conceivable that she must have told Naoi about Shimahara Soichiro's condition, the date of surgery, and so on. How Naoi got close to Nozomi Mase is not the current focus, but it is probably impossible for him to happen to be a girlfriend. Seeing Nozomi Mase's sad face, Nanao's heart aches for her.From the very beginning, Naoi had approached her for the purpose of committing a crime, and established a relationship with her as a boyfriend and girlfriend, and now she should know better than anyone else. But now was no time for his sympathy. "Miss Mase, please tell me the contact information of this person... Joji Naoi." In fact, he really wanted to snatch her mobile phone, but he held back. Momoko Mase stared at his phone, then looked up at Nanao. "I want to ask Mr. Criminal Police one thing. Please let me contact him. I will never mention Mr. Criminal Police." "Uh, this..." He was about to say no, when another thought crossed his mind.Although I don't know where Naoi Rangji is doing now, but if he sees an unfamiliar caller ID, he may not answer the call, and may even become suspicious. "Understood, well, please call him, but never mention me. Ask him where he is, tell him that he has something to say to him, and that he wants to meet right away. If he refuses, make an appointment with him." What a good time and place to meet, do you know?" Nozomi Mase nodded as if thinking carefully, then answered "OK" in a low voice, and started calling the phone. Nanao held her breath and pricked up her ears.Soon, her cell phone rang. However, the bell immediately turned into a short signal. "Hanging up." Nozomi Mase said with an expression on the verge of tears. "play one more time." She pressed the button with a tragic expression, held the phone to her ear, and closed her eyes as if praying. But then he shook his head with a look of despair. "I can't get through, it seems to be turned off, maybe I have a meeting in the company or something." "I hope so too. You calm down and call again. Leave him a message saying you want him to contact you." She nodded and followed Nanao's order, even Nanao could tell that her fingertips were shaking. After confirming that she left a message, Nanao took her mobile phone, pressed the redial button, copied the number displayed on it into the manual, and returned the mobile phone to her. "Which company does he work for?" "Uh, it's called..., uh, it's a pretty famous company. Alien...uh, Japanese alien..." Nozomi Mase held her head in her hands. "Ah, by the way, it's a heterotopic electron..., it should be a Japanese heterotopic electron." Nanao has also heard of this company, so the location should be found immediately.He asked about Naoi's job department, but Manase Wang said he was not very clear. "Miss Mase, I'm sorry, can you please go out immediately? I want you to go to the police station with me." She took a step back in fear. "I do not know anything." "That's okay. Anyway, please come with me." "But……" "Hurry up!" Nanao couldn't help shouting. Shocked, Mase straightened her back.Seeing her like this, Nanao's expression softened a little. "I'll wait outside, please prepare as soon as possible." Walking out of the room, he took out his mobile phone and called Sakamoto, but the voice on the other end was not Sakamoto. "Nanao, give me a little more." It was Honma's voice, and it seemed that he was with Sakamoto. He must have seen Nanao calling, so he snatched the phone. "Team leader? I have something important to report." "Stop talking! You actually acted on my own initiative. Why don't you follow orders?" "Now is not the time to pursue these things. I have found clues to the criminal." "What did you say?!" "I'll take the witness to the Central Office now. Team leader, the prisoners will make trouble in the Imperial Hospital today, which is the next period of time."
