Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen

In the reception room of the Faculty of Medicine of Kaiming University, except for a landscape painting on the wall, there is nothing that can be called decoration.What will the guests here talk about?Nakaoka thought.Since it is the medical department of a first-class university, there must be many patents.Wouldn't there be a lot of conversations going on here involving huge sums of money?For a moment his imagination wandered. It was four days ago that I met Qing Jiang from Taipeng University.It was his first time dealing with this kind of engineering university.Nakaoka himself is a graduate of the Department of Economics, but what he learned has not been used at all.

This morning, he nervously called the Medical Department of Kaimei University, saying that he wanted to see Dr. Habara, a neurosurgery doctor.Generally speaking, as long as it is in the name of the police, the next step will be relatively smooth.Sure enough, the person who answered the phone was very polite, saying that Habara had just left and asked him to call back in an hour.Nakaoka followed the person's instructions and called in an hour, and he got in touch with Habara without any problems. Nakaoka said he wanted to meet up, Habara of course wanted to ask why.Nakaoka felt that it was not a good idea to let the opponent see his hole cards clearly, so he just said, "It's about Lingmei."

"Did something happen to Yuan Hua?" Just listening to this reaction is already rewarding, Habara Zentaro and Enka are indeed father-daughter relationship. "No, that's not the case. It's part of the investigation." "Investigation? Is my daughter connected to any case?" "This, I can't say yet." "What kind of case is it?" Habara kept asking, but Nakaoka insisted on having a face-to-face interview, so the two agreed to meet in two hours. Kaiming University has a huge campus, and it took Nakaoka a lot of effort to find the Department of Medicine.He gave his name, and after a while, a woman in a black suit arrived.She was about thirty years old, and she was a beautiful woman with an excellent figure.On the way being taken to the teaching building, Nakaoka couldn’t help asking her: “Are you a doctor too?” She only said softly, “I’m in administration.”

While sipping the Japanese tea brought out by the woman, Nakaoka thought about how to get in touch with Habara.It is still unclear how much the other party knew and how much it was related to what happened in the hot spring area.The most important thing is that I don't know if he will assist the investigation in all aspects, so I can only try to get him to talk, as much as he can. After seeing Qingjiang, until today, during this period of time, Nakaoka has done several investigations.One of them is the matter of Amakasu Kenren. Qingjiang said that the young man Madoka Habara was looking for looked exactly like the young Amakasu Saisei.Then, it can be considered that it is Kento Amakasu.Has Qianren, who was unconscious eight years ago, recovered enough to walk around?

He wanted to ask the nurse who was in charge of Kento Amakasu at the time.Saisao Amakasu's blog has her name, "Miss Yamada".After asking the Affiliated Hospital of Kaiming University, I found that among the registered nurses at that time, there were only two nurses surnamed Yamada.After careful investigation, it was found that the person who took care of Kento at that time was a woman named Yamada Kayo.However, she was transferred to another hospital three years ago. Nakaoka rushed over, and the two met in the coffee shop in the hospital.Yamada Kayo is a little fat, but a very kind woman.

But as soon as she asked Amakasu about Kento, her soft expression suddenly became stiff. Because it happened in the previous hospital, so I don't remember much, she replied. "It doesn't matter, you can say as much as you remember. According to Amakasu Kento's father's blog, six years ago, Kento-kun recovered very quickly. How has it been since then? Is it still so smooth?" "This... I'm not very clear..." Kayo Yamada said vaguely. "Why? Aren't you in charge of taking care of him?" "Although this is the case, I have not always been in charge, and soon another person will replace me."

"Even if this is the case, when you are in the same hospital, you will always hear some information about his condition? For example, he can talk and stand up." "No, because the patient was moved to another ward, so I really don't know." "Another ward? But, he's still in the Affiliated Hospital of Kaiming University, right?" "Yes, but that hospital is huge..." Saying that, Yamada Kayo glanced at the clock on the wall, revealing that he wanted to be liberated early. "Then, can you tell me the name of the person who will take over Amakasu Kento-kun from you?"

She shook her head, "I don't know." "But, don't you need a handover?" "There is always a way to hand over or something. Anyway, I don't know. That, is it okay? I slipped out of my job." Nakaoka couldn't keep her, so he had to say thank you.Kayo Yamada fled the cafe as if fleeing. Things are obviously very strange.Nakaoka felt that someone seemed to have put a password on Amakasu Kento.If so, why? Next, Nakaoka investigated Amakasu Saio.However, Amakasu's house has been demolished, and it is not known where he lives now.So, he went back and interviewed the people he met when he was investigating Yoshiro Shuicheng. Many of them knew that Amakasu was born.In particular, playwright Da Yuan Zhao was one of the few people who met Amakasu after the hydrogen sulfide suicide incident.

"I was also greatly affected by that incident." Da Yuanzhao sat by the table with a sad expression on his face. The books and materials on the table were piled up like a hill.He was small and thin, about fifty years old, with a full beard. That incident, of course, was Amakasu Moe's suicide. "I helped prepare for the wake and funeral. Seeing Mr. Amakasu's appearance, I was worried, and there was nothing I could do. If I left him alone, I'm afraid he would commit suicide. Although he is a ghost and a weird person, he is born after all. Personally. As you know, his wife and son were harmed, and he probably felt as if he had been thrown into hell."

Da Yuan said that he met Amakasu Saio after the incident, mainly to discuss and postpone the planned film production indefinitely. "I really want to continue working with Mr. Amakasu, but there is no way. After the incident, Mr. Amakasu seemed to have lost his soul. Let's go to the movies and so on." Da Yuan said that the last time he met Amakasu Saisei was six years ago.Because he wanted to confirm the copyright of the movie he made together, he contacted Amakasu. "Although it's different from when the incident just happened, he still doesn't have much energy. I'm afraid he didn't listen to what I said."

Since then, the two have exchanged business emails a few more times, but have now completely disconnected.However, Dayuan has a piece of information about Gansu Caisheng. "It was about a year ago. I heard from a familiar editor that Mr. Saisheng wanted to publish a book. It is a record of his half life. Including the things in that blog, it records the things he has traveled so far. The road of life is an autobiography." Nakaoka recalled that in the last blog post, he also expressed this meaning.After a few years, it's finally time to act.Da Yuan said that the book has not yet been published. After Nakaoka confirmed the editor's name and contact information, he asked Saisao Amakasu for his contact information just to be on the safe side.Da Yuan flipped through the phone and found out the phone number and email address, but it was the same as what other people had.In other words, they have been disabled.After Zhonggang pointed out this point, Da Yuan nodded and said, "It really is like this." "I'm sorry, there's nothing else. Our film industry is full of ups and downs, and it's always going on. Once it is forgotten by the world, it will be silent forever. It's a pity that he is so talented." Da Yuan said in a The tone of nostalgia for the deceased concluded. The above are the results of these days.Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a harvest.Based on these alone, can any information be fished out from Habara Zentaro? As he was flipping through his notebook and sorting out the information, there was a knock on the door. "Please come in." Nakaoka closed his notebook and stood up. The door opened and a thin man walked in.The short hair has been dyed hoarfrost, and the face is long, but it doesn't look shabby.The eyes under the black-framed glasses were wise and steady, and Nakaoka felt that he must be a person with an exceptionally keen mind. "I'm Habara. You've been waiting for a long time." "Where, I came here rashly." Nakaoka handed over his business card. The two sat opposite each other.There was another knock on the door, and Habara answered. The woman who brought Nakaoka came in with a tray with two teacups on it.She put the teacup in front of the two of them, put the empty cup that Nakaoka drank on the tray, saluted, and walked out. "So," Habara stretched out his hand to the teacup, "You said something about my daughter, right?" His tone was the same as on the phone, calm and unhurried. "Before that, I want to ask you about another person. A patient you have operated on." "I don't know which patient it is?" Nakaoka took a deep breath and said, "It's a young man named Amakasu Kento. Ah, no, it's been a few years, he may be an adult now." Habara's eyebrows seemed to move slightly, but her expression hardly changed. "Amakasu Kento-kun is indeed my patient, what do you want to know about him?" "The first is his current situation. I learned about him from his father's blog, but the blog stopped updating six years ago. I don't know what happened after that." Habara took a sip of tea and put down the cup. "Why do you want to know that?" "It may be related to a certain incident. I really want to ask him directly, but I don't have his contact information. So I thought of you." Habara lightly shook the index finger of his right hand. "He has been out of hospital for several years. We don't know where he is now." "Years...so, how was he when he came out? The blog says he was able to use a computer six years ago. Has he recovered well since then?" Habara stared at Nakaoka for a while, the corners of his mouth relaxed. "You may know that it's about the patient's privacy, and I can't tell outsiders without authorization." "It's natural, I know..." "However, if that's all you ask, I can tell. You're right. He's recovering well, and he looks just like any other person." "It's amazing!" Nakaoka's eyes widened, he really thought so. "About Amakasu Kento-kun, that's all I can say. If you ask again, I can't answer. I have an obligation to keep a secret. Besides, I don't have much information about him. He is a past patient." The tone It's soft, but it sounds like it has an indescribable taste. "Okay. Then, let's get to the point. About your daughter." Nakaoka sat up straight, "Where is Miss Madoka Habara now?" Habara adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, crossed his legs, and leaned comfortably on the sofa. "She's gone on a trip." "Travel? Where did you go?" Habara shrugged: "Who knows. Anyway, it's a freewheeling trip." "Is it a tour of the hot spring area?" "Hot spring area?" Habara's eyes darkened, and he shrugged again, "Maybe it's possible. I don't know the specifics." "Did she go alone?" "Yes. She said she wanted to travel around Japan when she was a teenager. She's always been a bit of a weird kid." "Young girl, being alone...don't you worry?" Habara shook her head expressionlessly. "Eighteen is already an adult, my daughter has the ability to distinguish right from wrong." "You trust her, don't you?" Habara glanced at her coldly: "Can't you?" "Oh, no, it's all right. When did she go out?" "Leaving home about a month ago." "Have you been in touch during the period?" "Send an email once in a while. She looks quite energetic." "Ever called?" "Not yet. Maybe she thinks there's nothing worth calling to talk about. I'm also very busy. If there's nothing else, she won't call me specifically. " "When was the last time you sent me an email?" "When..." Habara thought for a while, "It should have been ten days ago." "What's in it? If it's convenient for you." "It's nothing inconvenient. Say she's fine, so I don't have to worry about it." "Can I see that email?" Habara let out a breath through his nose, laughed, and adjusted his glasses. "It's okay for you to see, but unfortunately, I have deleted it. It's not a big deal." "Delete? Don't you want to keep the email from your daughter who went on a trip alone until the day she returns safely?" "Perhaps there are such people, but I won't. Can't I?" Habara's words contained a hint of challenge, but it was hard to fathom.It seems that this person is not simple. "That's it. Then, can you tell me your daughter's contact information? Just an email address and a mobile phone number." Habara sat up straight. "It's all right to tell you, but I want to know something about the situation. What is this investigation about? Why are you asking about my daughter?" He had a smile on his face, but there was a stern light of a scholar in his eyes.Nakaoka met his gaze, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. If he concealed too much, this person wouldn't say anything—he looked at Habara Habara and came to a conclusion. "It's about the investigation of the fatal accident that happened in the two places." Nakaoka made up his mind and said, "It is still handled as an accident, but it may be an incident." "What was the accident?" "All I can say is that he died of poisoning." "Oh...then, what does it have to do with my daughter?" "It's not clear yet. However, your daughter was witnessed in the two places where the accident happened. These two places are rural, more than 300 kilometers apart. Moreover, your daughter appeared near the scene of the accident. The police did not let her go. After that, it's natural to want to ask her, right?" Habara sighed, and adjusted his glasses again. "You will not tell me the details of the accident." "Please forgive me." Nakaoka lowered his head. "Then, please tell me this: If it was a simple accident, the police would not investigate. You said that this may be an incident. So, there is a possibility of homicide?" Nakaoka thought about it and nodded. "You can think of it that way." "My daughter is related to the murder?" "I also wanted to confirm this, so I asked you for her contact information." "Ok." Habara took out his mobile phone from the inner pocket of his jacket, looked at Nakaoka's business card on the table, and quickly operated it. Not long after, the phone in Nakaoka's pocket rang an email notification.It was from Habara, with an email address and cell phone number written on it. "It's just," Habara said while clicking on the phone, "Even if you send an email to my daughter, I don't know if she can receive it. There is no guarantee that the phone will be connected. It seems that she has set a lot of restrictions." "Such as rejecting unwanted emails and incoming calls?" "right." So that was the case, Nakaoka nodded and pointed at the other person's chest. "Could you please call your daughter now? After the call is connected, I will speak for you." Habara stared at Nakaoka, as if trying to see through the police officer's plan. Finally, the genius doctor looked away, took out his mobile phone, operated it with one hand, and put it to his ear. After a while, Habara said, "I can't get through." Nakaoka stretched out his right hand silently, meaning to confirm.Habara sighed and handed over the phone.Nakaoka took the phone and listened to it, and it really said "the number you dialed cannot be connected".The outgoing number is also correct. "Thank you." Nakaoka returned the phone to Habara. "My daughter is very willful. Unless she wants to call herself, she can't be found." "What if you are in a hurry?" "So far, there hasn't been anything that requires her to be contacted. However, if it really gets to that point and the phone doesn't work, she will send an email. After she reads the email, if she thinks it is really urgent, she will call came." "That's it. Then, please send Lingmei an email, tell her the email address and mobile phone number on my business card, and ask her not to reject my call, is that okay?" Habara seemed to be thinking, and after a while, his head moved slightly. "Okay, I'll post it when I have time." "As soon as possible, if possible." "You mean now?" "Yes." Nakaoka looked into the other's eyes. Habara seemed to want to say something, but he held back and started to operate the phone. After the input was completed, he showed Nakaoka: "Is this okay?" The email read: "This person may contact you, do not refuse." Below is Nakaoka's name, occupation, email address and mobile phone number. "Okay." Nakaoka said.Habara sent the email in front of him. "Is there anything else you want to ask?" Habara put the phone away and asked, "If not, I'm sorry." "And one last point." Nakaoka raised his finger, "What is the relationship between Madoka Habara and Kento Amakasu?" Habara opened her eyes wide in surprise, and seemed a little flustered for the first time. "...I don't know what you mean by that." "Literally. I'm asking about their relationship." Habara frowned, closed his eyes, and looked back at Nakaoka. "Yuanhua is my daughter, Amakasu Kento-kun is my patient. That's all I know." "You mean there is no direct relationship between them?" "As far as I know." Habara said calmly, the momentary panic has disappeared. "Okay. Sorry to disturb you in your busy schedule." Nakaoka stood up. "It's nothing, I'm sorry, I didn't help you. If you find anything new during the investigation, you can come to me again at any time. I will try my best to assist." "Thank you very much. I will ask you again then." After bowing his head and saluting, Nakaoka walked out of the room, thinking in his heart that when he comes next time, he will get the trump card and the day will collapse the lie of the genius doctor.
