Chapter 29: Speed Racing
The mission assigned to the colonel began to be implemented that evening. The colonel spent the entire night arranging and organizing the search mission, and the first people he thoroughly checked were those under his own department.
Those with problems were then sent to Ozaki Koyo's interrogation department.
By the next day, the search scope was expanded to the entire organization, and the leader directly issued an order that all departments must cooperate with the colonel's investigation. Those who did not cooperate would be treated as having problems and sent directly to Officer Ozaki.
Ozaki Koyo has just taken office and has not made any outstanding achievements yet. She is a person who defected before (although only during the time of the previous leader), and she is a woman. Her prestige in the organization is actually similar to that of cadre A who just bought the position.
But after this incident, I believe Hongye-kun will be able to establish a lot of prestige through this, even if it is just because his torture methods make people afraid.
"Catch drug-related people?" A looked strange when he heard his subordinates report why there was such a big move today. "I should have joined a mafia, right?"
Aren't mafias just doing shameful and illegal activities? It was fine to ban human trafficking before, but now they are banning drugs? The mafia is doing something that the government hasn't done. I feel like I'm dreaming just thinking about it.
The subordinate stood before him with his head lowered, not saying a word.
A glanced at him, feeling rather bored, and said, "You go down."
"yes."
After joining the Port Mafia, his special ability naturally had to be revealed. However, his special ability was rather useless, as it could only turn his subordinates into gems of equivalent value. Although it could ensure that he had money, there was a prerequisite, which was that the target of the ability must be his subordinates.
Besides dealing with waste and traitors, what other uses does this ability have?
And because of this ability, Mori Ougai also gave him a special warning -
"We, the Port Mafia, will not care about your own men, but you must never use your special ability on the people assigned to you by us, Mr. A."
Thinking of Sen Ouwai's dagger-hiding smile at that time, A couldn't help but click his tongue.
…
Halfway through the day after the anti-drug campaign was launched within the organization, Ace received a call from Dazai Osamu.
[BOSS——]
Ace happily pushed his homework book aside and said, "Hey, Zhi, what's the matter?"
[Well, I have some idea about the resurrection of the previous leader. It can be solved this afternoon. I will send you an address later. Remember to bring someone from the medical department.]
"Huh?" Ace was puzzled. "What happened? Is anyone injured?"
[Not now, but I can’t say for sure later. After all, the enemy is quite dangerous. Maybe Chuuya and I will die.]
"Eh——?" Ace stood up in shock, "Who is the enemy? Where is he now? I'll bring people to support you! Zhi——"
[Drip, drip, drip, drip…]
Ace was hung up unexpectedly. He stared at the phone for a while, then suddenly became anxious: [Mr. Ogai! He might die if he is treated! Should we send someone to look for them now!? ]
[Calm down, didn’t he say he would send the address later? We just need to hurry up when the time comes. ] Mori Ogai comforted.
But he said this, but he didn't mean it in his heart.
Dazai Osamu is not the kind of person who would ask the medical department to prepare in advance when he is about to die. And from the voice, you can tell that he probably has no idea at all. Instead, he has already uncovered the identity of the person behind him and even designed a battle plan. He is very confident.
Therefore, the person that the Medical Department needs to prepare for is definitely not Dazai Osamu himself.
It is possible that it was Chuuya Nakahara, considering that the mastermind behind this might be a traitor in the organization, and perhaps it could be prepared for that traitor.
But if it's the latter, then the candidate for the traitor is narrowed down - someone who has been close to Ace recently.
Dazai would not contact enemies who were not related to him, and would just find someone to write a report for him after the mission was completed. Dazai would do the same thing if it was not Morio, but even if it was someone related to him. Now he would give a reminder in advance, probably for Ace's sake.
Although this expression is also tortuous enough.
Sen Ou wanted to sigh again.
He was the one who came first, but Dazai-kun seems to be closer to Ace. Is this a generation gap?
Ace knew that what he said made sense, but since it concerned the lives of his companions, he was now restless. After thinking about it, he ran to the medical department and stayed there.
In the medical department, the doctor looked at the leader who had just come here last night to apply medicine on his ankle, and issued various orders, asking the people in the medical department to pack up the life-saving equipment and be ready to go at any time. He also contacted the Ministry of Transportation to prepare the fastest car and the most skilled driver, and then stayed in the medical department and refused to leave, feeling a little sad.
The leader is different from other people. You can talk to him casually, not to mention others. Even the cadres can be given a glass of water to ease the atmosphere, but the leader cannot give anything he wants. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be a disaster.
But it was hard for him to watch the leader rummaging through the medicine table and equipment cabinet in the medical department out of boredom. But he was the head of the medical department and had to receive the leader.
And I always feel that the leader's behavior is not right.
Wasn't the chief a doctor before? He was a doctor who had good skills and was assigned to the previous chief. Why would he still look through these things? If you need anything, just ask. He will arrange it for you!
Mori Ou also felt that it was very difficult to bear. The doctor only needed to stand by and watch without looking away, but he also had to satisfy Ace's curiosity. Because every time Ace turned over an unfamiliar medicine or instrument, he would ask him "What is this?" If he asked about instruments, he would follow up with questions like "What is this used for?" If he asked about medicines, he would follow up with questions like "What is this medicine used for?"
Moreover, he was worried that others would see him and suspect him for looking like he had never seen the world. After all, Sen Ouwai was a doctor and it was impossible for him to show such curiosity about these things.
In short, I feel very tired.
But it's really not Ace's fault. He never paid attention to medical matters before. When he got injured, he just waited for the ship's doctor to treat him. At most, he would sometimes ask what this thing was used for.
Now, the medical department of the Port Mafia is asking Mori Ogai all sorts of questions, purely because they are anxious after receiving the call from Dazai Osamu. If they don't find something to do, Mori Ogai is afraid that he will cause trouble.
At around 3:00 p.m., Dazai Osamu sent an address to Mori Ogai's mobile phone.
As soon as he got the news, Ace immediately stood up, asked the people from the medical department to go to the underground parking lot, got in the car and rushed to the location mentioned in the news as quickly as possible.
Albatross drove the car like a speeding car. Several medical staff members sitting in the back seat held on to the armrests at the top of the door tightly, their faces looking pale.
The traffic light ahead turned red. Albatross took a look, tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and reminded, "Chief, shall we take a shortcut?"
Of course, the sooner the better at this moment, and Ace immediately responded with "OK".
Upon hearing the leader's agreement, Albatross immediately curled up his lips excitedly and turned the steering wheel directly.
The tires made a screeching sound as the car turned into a side alley, brushing past several bicycles. A member of the back row shouted with a pale face, "Wall! Wall--!"
The Albatross quickly turned the reverse wheel left and right, changed lanes and went up the slope outside a house, stepped on the accelerator, rushed up along the outer wall of the house, and then flew out at the break in the slope!
The passengers in the back seat screamed, and the doctor clutched the handle on top of the bike frame with a pale face.
If you open it so hard, won’t my medicine bottle break?
The vehicle flew out, and the right tire hit the extended eaves of the house for a while. The rear wheel pressed against the wall at the end of the alley, rushed out the other side of the wall, and moved forward for a long distance in the air before falling heavily to the ground. It shook violently several times before gradually regaining stability.
The adrenaline rush made everyone's hearts beat violently. One person in the back row even opened a pack of disposable rubber gloves and vomited all over one.
Doctors who have never taken this kind of express train due to their profession feel numb all over and simply feel very weak.
The vehicle soon drove onto the flat road again, which made the people in the back seat breathe a sigh of relief.
Under normal circumstances, Ace might have been excited about the thrill of racing, but because of Dazai Osamu's death message, Ace's mind was not on this matter and his brows were still tightly furrowed.
"How long will it take?" he asked anxiously.
"Almost there," the Albatross estimated, "about a minute more."
Just a few seconds after he finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion from the building in front, and glass fragments flew out of the building.
Albatross stepped on the accelerator and stopped the car in front of the annex. "Chief, we're here!"
Ace opened the car door and rushed into the annex.
The annex was in a mess, even the floor was turned upside down. The only two people still standing inside looked at him.
"Ji! Chuuya! Are you guys okay?"
Nakahara Chuuya's eyes widened: "You bastard, is that bastard willing to let you out?!"
Dazai Osamu tugged at his collar and said, "I'm hurt! I'm bleeding a lot and it hurts."
There was a huge tear on his white shirt, and the cut was completely stained red with blood.
Ace's heart tightened, and he was about to turn around and call for a doctor, but he heard Dazai continue to say, "But we are still lucky. If he had been delayed for a while longer, he would have really died."
Ace followed his gaze and saw another person lying in the rubble, dying.
“…Lan Tang!?”
