Chapter 40 Section 40

Soichiro Shimabara's surgery has already begun.Nanao was in the waiting room on the first floor of Teito University Hospital, constantly scanning the gloomy-looking people around her.He has a photo of Naoi Joji in his pocket, but Naoi's face is already deeply rooted in his mind, so he doesn't need to look at it again. As a result of his inquiry with Japan's Ichibi Electronics Tokyo Headquarters, he learned that Naoi Rangji had applied for a special leave, and it was said that he had applied for it a week ago. One thing cannot be ignored.Naoi Rangji took three days off in the past two weeks.After investigating these dates in the hospital, it was found that one of the days was the surgery day that Soichiro Shimabara had decided on when he was hospitalized, but it was later postponed due to the intimidation incident.

Joji Naoi will definitely take action today.The question is, what exactly is the action. When Nanao began to explain at the Central Office, Honma was still full of anger, with blue veins popping out of his temples, blushing and thick neck.However, listening to Nanao's words, his expression kept changing, and in the end, his facial muscles were tense, and beads of sweat emerged from his veined temples. "Why didn't you report it earlier?" Honma asked moaningly, "Since you think it's someone who has a personal grudge with President Shimabara, why didn't you tell me?"

I'm sorry - Nanao sincerely apologized. "Because I want to investigate it myself anyway, and I'm not sure, it's just that I'm not satisfied with the original investigation policy." "You bastard!" Honma grabbed Nanao's neckline. "But the team leader, if Mr. Nanao hadn't conducted the investigation, Naoi Rangji would not have been found out." Sakamoto intervened to mediate. "If Nanao-san acts together with me, nothing will be found." Perhaps in agreement with this statement, Honma let go of his hand and clicked loudly. "Be careful. Afterwards, I will definitely ask the higher-ups how to deal with you, and I will definitely report to the higher-ups."

"It's okay." Nanao said. "On the hospital side, we need to send more police." "Of course I know, you don't need to explain!" Honma roared angrily. Soon, police officers were sent to Teito University Hospital, along with plainclothes criminal police, including Nanao.Obviously, in this situation, Honma couldn't let him go. And Honma must be pressing Nozomi Manase now, thinking that she can find out what Naoi Rangji's intentions are from her.But Nanao thinks this is probably a pointless move, Naoi didn't reveal anything to her, presumably he intends not to have any contact with her from now on, that's why he didn't answer the phone call this morning.

When the pointer passed twelve, he stood up and walked towards the gate.There were two criminal policemen at the door, one of them was Sakamoto, who was comparing the photos with the people who entered and left the hospital. "I didn't see anyone." Sakamoto said, noticing Nanao. "It doesn't have to come in through the gate." "There is another entrance and exit to the hospital." "The entrances and exits for night and first aid are also being monitored by people there." "Could it have sneaked in?" "It shouldn't be. I went around and asked people in the hospital to see the photos, but no one saw him."

"Is he trying to interfere with Shimabara's surgery? You can't do anything if you don't come to the hospital." "I heard that the operation may last until night, and there is still a lot of time." "I don't know what Naoi is thinking? Even if he comes to the hospital, he can't harm Shimabara without getting close to the operating room. Does he want to force his way?" "I don't think he would do that." Nanao left Sakamoto, wanted to take out the cigarette case, but hesitated again.Naoi doesn't know when he will appear, and now is not the time to go to the smoking area.

In addition to the cigarette case, he touched another thing in his hand, which was a piece of note paper. When he inquired about Japan's Yibi Electronics, he wrote down Naoi Rangji's affiliation unit on it. Electronic Measuring Equipment Development Section—— "Electronic measurement...electronic...electricity..." Nanao muttered to herself, shocked.He ran with a note in his hand. Kasaki, the head of the affairs bureau, was puzzled by Nanao's question. "Electrical equipment...is that right? There are a lot of them here, and almost all medical procedures require electricity."

"So, where is the most important part? I mean, if it breaks, the part of the hospital that suffers the most." Nanao asked. Kasagi looked around the office. "Uh, who is more familiar with this?" "It should be Mr. Nakamori?" The female staff beside him replied. "He's in charge of equipment and construction." "Oh, that's right. Where did Nakamori go?" "I don't know. I think it's somewhere in the hospital." The slow tone of the female staff made Nanao very impatient. "Please contact him immediately and ask him to come here, the situation is very urgent!"

"What's going on?" Kasaki frowned, but that expression was not because of awareness of danger, which made Nanao even more irritable. "The prisoner is a technician in electrical machinery, so he is likely to use his expertise in this area. Since electricity is the lifeline of the hospital, he will definitely start here." "From here? What to do?" "That's why I ask you to think about it." Nanao suppressed the urge to shout. At this time, a man wearing glasses, about forty years old, appeared with a look of panic. "Mr. Nakamori?"

"I am." It may be Nanao's aggressive eyes, Nakamori backed away somewhat at a loss. Nanao asked Kasaki the question again.Nakamori crossed his arms in front of his chest, and spoke while thinking. "It should be the switchboard, that is, the circuit breaker. If it is tampered with, the power supply to each building will be cut off." "The others?" "Next is the main computer. All kinds of information are shared through the LAM. If the main computer suffers, it will not be available." "Where are those things?" "Next room."

Nanao called Sakamoto and ordered him to confirm whether there were any abnormalities in the switchboards and main computers on each floor. "Especially scrutinize the switchboard in the operating room, which is a prime target for inmates." "Yes." Sakamoto jogged out of the office. Nanao faced Kasaki and Nakamori. "Thank you for your cooperation. If you think of anything, please contact me immediately." With that said, he was about to leave. "Excuse me..." Nakamori stopped him. "What's up?" When Nanao asked, Nakamori said hesitantly, "Aren't the ones outside the hospital not used?" "Outside?" "Yeah, don't we need to consider the equipment outside the hospital at this time?" "You mean, equipment other than hospital equipment?" "No, the equipment is in the courtyard." "In the courtyard..." Nanao returned to Nakamori. "what is that?"
