At 10:30 p.m., Sakaki Makoto and Kidd handed the scene over to the police for protection and hurried to Gunma University Hospital.
Yamamura So also came, and his reason was to collect confessions. This left Sakaki Makoto speechless and he couldn't find any point to refute.
It is only natural for the police to accept the confession of the victim. It is a rule written in the regulations. The same applies to anyone, even the most powerful person.
Following the nurse's instructions, Makoto Sakaki went all the way to the 6th floor. Miss Miyano was sitting on the hospital bed, receiving nutrient solution. Her face was flushed. Although she had woken up, her body had not yet returned to normal.
Beside her, except for Hiroki, Conan and Akai Mary who have not woken up yet, Domon Yasuki and others have woken up.
"The doctor said the child is weak and won't wake up for a while, but his life is not in danger."
Miss Miyano lifted the quilt, staggered out of bed, picked up the IV bottle hanging on the metal rod, and walked out the door with Sakaki Makoto.
Sakaki Makoto hurried forward and put his arm around her shoulders, saying worriedly:
"You should rest well. I'll take care of anything."
"It doesn't matter whether you rest or not. Carbon monoxide is different from other toxins. It just reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body's hemoglobin cells. To put it bluntly, it causes the body to be deprived of oxygen. Instead of lying in bed, it is better to go out and breathe some fresh air."
Miss Miyano said:
"None of us were poisoned too deeply, and members of the Ogawa family have woken up one after another, including the old woman, but the problem lies with Ogawa Yoshio."
"How is he?"
Before the ambulance arrived, Yoshio Ogawa showed symptoms of epilepsy. After being sent to the hospital, Makoto Sakaki had no news of him.
Now that it is suddenly brought up, I am afraid the situation is not optimistic.
"The rescue was timely and he didn't inhale too much carbon monoxide, so his life was saved, but..."
Pursing her lips, Miss Miyano stopped in front of the door of the next ward and looked through the window at the scene inside the ward:
"Yoshio Ogawa's Alzheimer's disease has entered the late stage. He is semi-demented, his intelligence has deteriorated severely, he has lost his language ability, and he can't even get out of bed by himself."
In the ward, members of the Ogawa family, who had just woken up, gathered in front of the bed. They were extremely quiet, with indescribable sadness on their faces, just like attending a relative's funeral in the rain, solemn and dignified.
Carbon monoxide poisoning once again harmed Yoshio Ogawa's fragile brain. He developed severe impaired consciousness and his condition further deteriorated. If Sakaki Makoto hadn't discovered it in time, he might have lost his life.
After all, the bodies of the elderly cannot be compared with those of the young. At this moment, Yoshio Ogawa, who is already in his twilight years, is looking at his relatives in front of the bed, unable to say a word, and his breathing mask is covered with a layer of mist from time to time.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Miss Miyano sighed:
"After a while, I'm afraid he won't even be able to wake up."
After opening the door, Makoto Sakaki and Miss Miyano walked into the ward and hung the IV bottle on the iron rod beside them.
Seeing Sakaki Makoto standing behind the crowd, Ogawa Yoshio, who was in a trance, seemed to suddenly regain consciousness. He raised his arms tremblingly, and opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
The members of the Ogawa family surrounding the bed consciously made way for them.
Sakaki Makoto walked forward, grasped Ogawa Yoshio's thin and bony hand that was frozen in mid-air, and said softly:
"Feel sorry."
Looking at the old man on the hospital bed, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. In order to fulfill his grandfather's last wish, the old man waited until his hair turned gray. His hope finally came true, but in the end he ended up with hemiplegia.
The old man's weak body somehow found strength and he clamped Sakaki Makoto's hand tightly, trying to convey his inner thoughts, but he was speechless and could only utter a few meaningless syllables. Finally, a drop of turbid tear flowed from the corner of his eye, and he pulled Sakaki Makoto's arm hard, like the cry of a dying bird before its death.
"Yio wants you to give up."
The old woman suddenly spoke. She seemed to understand her husband's thoughts and said in a hoarse voice:
"He doesn't want you to end up like this. Grandpa wanted to resist, but ended up dying without a burial place. Yi Nan also wanted to resist, but now his life is worse than death. You are still young, you should pursue your own life."
No matter whether it is Sakaki Ryunosuke or the Miyano couple, anyone who goes against Karasuma Renya will indeed have a bad ending. After experiencing this series of changes, Ogawa Yoshio thought it through. He believed that going against Karasuma Renya was like an ant trying to shake a tree. The last words his grandfather left him were correct. Some secrets should be buried forever.
As the saying goes, when a man is about to die, his words are good. Ogawa Yoshio really wanted to tell Sakaki Makoto this, so that he could withdraw in time, go far away and never come back.
"When the flames of war begin, no one can escape. There is no point in running away."
Sakaki Seisha's voice was very soft, and he answered Ogawa Yoshio from his heart:
“Everything ends with a period. Even if I am not the one who draws the period, I should stand up. This is not only for ourselves, but also for the things that all of us cherish.”
Sakaki Cheng raised his hand to cover his chest:
"They are hidden here. Don't wait until you lose them to regret it. It will be too late then."
The old woman looked up at Sakaki Makoto and asked:
"Is this your final decision? Even if the end is death?"
"I can tolerate failure, but I cannot tolerate cowardice."
Sakaki Makoto said calmly:
"If I abandon everything and run away, maybe I can survive to the end, but this is not what I want. I don't want to be left with regrets for the rest of my life. Living like this is too depressing. I don't like it. It's more painful than being killed."
Under the gaze of the crowd, Sakaki Makoto patted the back of Ogawa Yoshio's old hand, straightened his back, and said word by word:
"No matter who the criminal is, I will find him out. I must fulfill my promise."
Looking at her boyfriend's tall and straight back, Miss Miyano laughed. Even if her boyfriend didn't say it, she knew that Sakaki Makoto was... very angry.
However, he did not shout loudly. Instead, he glanced at Shancuncao who was standing outside the ward and waved to him.
"What's up?"
Yamamura Cao walked forward with a confused look on his face.
"Aren't you going to give a statement?"
Makoto Sakaki said:
"It's time to start."
"oh....."
Scratching his head, Yamamura So stopped a nurse and asked her to provide an empty ward, then let each member of the Ogawa family enter the ward individually for a makeshift interrogation.
"Who should I call in first?"
Shancuncao sat on the chair and asked eagerly:
"Although it's not the first time I've worked on a case with a detective, it's the first time I've taken a statement together!"
"Start with her."
Sakaki Makoto pointed at Miss Miyano outside the ward and said calmly:
"Ms. Huibara, yes, that's right, it's you."
