6pm, Gunma University Medical Hospital.
Sakaki Makoto and his companions got out of the car. In front of them stood a huge building with sharp edges and corners, as if it was made of several white blocks. It was surrounded by greenery and a statue could be seen at the entrance.
This hospital is quite old. It has developed step by step from a low building in 1949 to its present state. The statue at the door bears witness to its history.
And this is the hospital where Ogawa Kusanagi's grandson is admitted.
Yasuteru Domon took the lead and led everyone into the hospital. As a former candidate for parliament, he was quite famous. As long as he could show his face, Sakaki Makoto and others would have smooth sailing.
However, just in case, before getting off the bus, Makoto Sakaki asked Kid to prepare a few masks for himself, Conan, Miss Miyano, Hattori Heiji, and Akai Mary.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Even if Hongshu deletes the hospital's surveillance video afterwards, it would be bad if Karasuma Renya sent someone to investigate and found that Sakaki Makoto was among them.
People were coming and going in the hospital, but everyone noticed this extremely strange-looking team. They didn't look like they were here to visit relatives or friends. Their expressions were serious, as if they would pull out a long knife from under their clothes at any time, put it on the doctor's neck, and ask them to save their elder brother who was shot and in critical condition.
"Hey, that looks like Domon Yasuki..."
"Domon Yasuteru? The parliamentary candidate with 64% approval rating?"
"Yes, yes, but for some reason, he suddenly withdrew from the election before the results were announced, and Senzu Junji was involved in the case, and in the end, Tokiwa Eisaku, whose support rate was only 10%, won the election..."
"Why is he coming to Gunma Prefecture instead of staying in Tokyo?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's here to visit a friend."
Amid the discussion, Domon Yasuki went straight to the hospital front desk and asked politely:
"Excuse me, which ward is Ogawa Yoshio staying in?"
Of course, Yoshio Ogawa is the grandson of Ogawa Kusanagi. The Ogawa family is quite famous in Gunma Prefecture. Most of the younger generations in the family are engaged in honorable professions such as doctors and lawyers, and they can be considered a prominent family.
As the head of the family, Yoshio Ogawa is highly respected, especially in Gunma University Hospital. It is said that 7 of the chief surgeons here are his juniors, and he has countless disciples and students. Even the dean is a distant relative of Yoshio Ogawa. It is no exaggeration to say that Gunma University Hospital is a one-man show of the Ogawa family.
but....
People who know some information about the Ogawa family are wondering why the Ogawa family, who are fully capable of running for Gunma Prefecture council members, never participate in elections. They seem to have no interest in being officials and are devoted to studying medicine.
"Do you have an appointment?"
Seeing that Domon Yasuki was coming in a threatening manner, the nurse at the front desk did not dare to answer immediately, and could only say indirectly:
"There are many people visiting Mr. Ogawa, and the doctor also advised him to rest and recuperate. If you don't have an appointment, we can't tell you the ward number."
“This is my business card.”
Domon Yasuki took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a white card and handed it over:
"I have something important to discuss with Mr. Ogawa Yoshio."
"this...."
After receiving the business card, the nurse was in a dilemma for a moment. Just as she was hesitating, a handsome doctor who looked to be in his thirties came to Domon Yasuki and politely extended his hand:
"Mr. Domon, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Ogawa Seiji, the chief surgeon at this hospital. I wonder what you want from my grandfather?"
Now that his grandson has appeared, Yasuteru Domon has no choice but to hide anything. He knows that if he wants to get information about what happened back then from Yoshio Ogawa, he must have sufficient evidence. Otherwise, who would mention the secrets of that year to an outsider?
Thinking of this, Domon Yasuki took out the wallet he had found on the skeleton, and while shaking hands, he quietly put it in the doctor's hand and said:
"I really have something important to discuss with Mr. Ogawa."
When he first saw the wallet, Ogawa Chengzhi was stunned for a moment. He had seen people bribing doctors, but he had never seen bribery by directly stuffing wallets into their pockets. Not to mention being too explicit, you could at least disguise it by putting it in a red envelope, right? How could he be so straightforward!
But when Ogawa Chengzhi opened his wallet and saw the note signed by Ogawa Kusuke, his pupils suddenly contracted, he took a breath, and even his arms began to tremble.
For a doctor, especially a surgeon, his hands must be steady. This is a basic skill. If he had not suffered a huge blow, he would never lose his composure like this.
"I understand. Please follow me!"
Ogawa Seiji put his wallet in his pocket, his face became extremely solemn, he bowed deeply to Domon Yasuteru, and solemnly invited him to go with him.
In the Ogawa family, Ogawa Seiji can only be considered a junior, and there are some things that he cannot decide.
Since the other party has taken out the relics of my great-grandfather, this matter must be told to the elders of the family.
If it were anyone else, Ogawa Seiji would definitely not believe it easily, but the other party was Domon Yasuteru, who had just appeared on TV not long ago and was a strong candidate for the next member of parliament. What he said was most likely not a joke.
Following behind Ogawa Seiji, Sakaki Makoto and his companions had a smooth journey. They took the special elevator and went all the way up to the single special ward.
"Grandpa accidentally fell down the stairs the night before yesterday and hit his head. Fortunately, he was found early and was finally rescued."
In the elevator, Xiaochuan Chengzhi sighed, with a look of fatigue between his brows:
"The family has been in a mess these days. Grandpa is the backbone. He is 82 years old this year. This injury may leave some sequelae. In addition, he already has some early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. His mental state is getting worse day by day. I hope Mr. Domon will be gentler in his words and not irritate him too much..."
“Alzheimer’s?”
Domon Yasuki raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked at Sakaki Makoto, feeling a little worried.
Alzheimer's disease is naturally the well-known senile dementia. There is no treatment for this disease so far, and it can only delay its progression. However, once you suffer from this disease, you will forget even your closest people, let alone things that happened decades ago?
With a ding, the elevator arrived at the 11th floor, which was a high-level care ward specially for special patients.
From a distance, Sakaki Makoto could see that the corridor was crowded with people, all members of the Ogawa family.
"Chengzhi, father needs to rest, why did you bring outsiders here?"
A middle-aged woman walked up to stop Ogawa Chengzhi, with a hint of blame in her words.
"Mom, this is Mr. Domon. He has something important to ask Grandpa."
"No matter how urgent the matter is, we have to wait until your grandfather is better!"
The middle-aged woman with wrinkles in the corners of her eyes glared at Xiaochuan Chengzhi, then looked down at the wallet in her son's hand. Her breathing suddenly stagnated, and she turned back and shouted to a gray-haired man:
"Yashu, come here quickly! Father's wish has been fulfilled!"
