At night, the hospital fell into silence. Except for the emergency department where some people were still busy, there was almost no activity in the inpatient building.
Zhong Linshan pushed open the door of the ward. His burned hands were wrapped in bandages and his black eyes were full of murderous intent. He walked step by step to the door of the intensive care unit and looked at the unconscious person inside. His eyes were ferocious. If eyes could kill, the person inside would have been killed by him several times.
"Surprisingly, he's still alive."
Zhong Linshan murmured, "Don't let him wake up... No, we can't let him wake up."
He didn't expect that Kuroiwa was not dead. After suffering such a heavy blow, he was still alive. After being pushed into the intensive care unit, he was still breathing strongly. When Zhonglin Shan heard the doctor tell him that "Mr. Kuroiwa has a chance of waking up", he was filled with malice.
Why doesn't he just die? Only if he dies can his secret be kept.
Zhong Linshan put his hand on the door handle, he thought: Since it has come to this, what difference does it make even if I kill him!
As long as he says it was Takaoka Haru who did it, that's fine.
The police will firmly believe this, and no one will doubt him, so he can preserve his perfect life.
This was supposed to be his life.
"stop."
A familiar voice sounded beside him, and Nakabayashi Shan was stunned for a moment. He looked to the side, and in the dim corridor, he saw a familiar figure. The man took off his hood, revealing his face. It was Takaoka Yuru who was inside his body.
"It's you, the murderer." Nakabayashi Shan laughed.
"I haven't hurt anyone. This is all your fault." Takaoka Yu Liu frowned, "Don't go too far."
"Huh? Too much?" Zhong Linshan put away his smile, leaving only indifference on his face, "Are you talking about me? No, you are the one who is too much."
Takaoka Yuru looked at him calmly, "We have been in the same company for so long, and I know you resent me for taking away your intended role. Now that we have exchanged lives, isn't that enough? I won't do anything as long as you don't hurt them."
"Yes, that's it."
Zhong Linshan looked at him coldly, "You always act like this, throwing away things you have casually and saying you don't want them anymore."
"Will I listen to you no matter what you say?"
Takaoka Yu Liu frowned, "You can't do anything tonight. If you make the slightest movement, I will call for help. This is a hospital, and there are nurses on duty."
"And then call them over to send you to jail?" Nakabayashi Shan looked at him, his eyes full of malicious expectation, "Takaoka Yuliu, why don't you understand now? In everyone's eyes, you are the terrible criminal, and I am the innocent victim. No matter who you call over, they will think I am protecting this agent."
"And you are the sinner who came to hurt him."
Takaoka Hanyu's face turned pale, but he couldn't refute it.
Because that's the truth.
No one would believe in the so-called soul exchange. The police wanted evidence, and the salvation now was: Nakabayashi Shan was a murderer.
The law does not care whose soul is inside the murderer's body.
This is such a despairing thing.
Takaoka Yuru stood still and said, "Even so, I won't let you continue to hurt Kuroiwa."
"What a perfect match." Zhonglin Shan laughed, "If he stood in front of us now, he would definitely recognize you. Even if you changed your body, he would still be able to find you from the details. Of course, he might never wake up now."
"So you're going to kill him?" Takaoka Yuru looked at Nakabayashi Shan in disbelief. "You're just going to hurt someone else's life for this?"
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth." Zhong Linshan put away the sarcastic smile on his face, "Isn't that what you did before?"
At this moment, there was a click and the sensor light in the corridor came on. The two looked towards the staircase and saw Director Shenshan walking out of the elevator with dark circles under his eyes.
He seemed a little tired, his steps were unsteady, and when he raised his head, he was startled by the two people in front of him.
"Zhonglin Shan!" Director Shenshan yelled. He rushed over and blocked Zhonglin Shan behind him. "Yu Liu, go call the police. Don't worry. I'll help you stop him!"
Zhong Linshan looked at Director Shenshan with complicated eyes, but he could only follow Director Shenshan's words in the presence of outsiders. After all, the shouting just now had already awakened the patients and their families on this floor.
Takaoka Haru quickly put on his hood and looked around, hoping to find a way to leave.
The arrival of Director Shenshan was an unexpected event, and now his way is still blocked by Director Shenshan.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, opened the window, and jumped down from the fourth floor.
Just when he was ready to get hurt, someone grabbed his hand in mid-air.
Takaoka Yuru was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and saw Hinata Hajime's eyes in the darkness.
"Mr. Policeman?"
"Tsk." Hinata Hajime made a tsk-ing gesture towards Takaoka Haru, and then pulled the person up. At this moment, Director Kamiyama walked to the window sill with a puzzled look and looked down, and then looked into Hinata Hajime's eyes. In an instant, Director Kamiyama suddenly understood something.
The police officer responsible for protecting Zhong Linshan rushed over, "Where is he?"
"I saw him run over there after he jumped off the building." Director Shenshan pointed in a direction ahead. "He seemed injured. He probably didn't run far."
Two policemen rushed downstairs, and Hinata Hajime took Takaoka Yuriu out of the hospital and returned to his home.
So far, perhaps Hinata Hajime's home is the safest place. After all, he is a policeman in name only, and no one would think that a wanted criminal would be in a policeman's home.
"You saved me again, thank you Mr. Hinata." Takaoka Yuru sat on the sofa, looking very tired.
"How's your investigation going?"
Takaoka Yuliu smiled bitterly and said, "No."
"I investigated Nakabayashi Shan's family situation. I wanted to find a way to threaten him, but he didn't." Takaoka Yuliu lowered his head. "He thinks his life is a mistake. He has no love for his family and is obsessed with so-called success and winners in life."
"Even if I threatened him with his parents, he wouldn't even blink."
"Hinata-san, he is a villain who doesn't care about anything, and he has a firm grasp on my weakness."
Everyone Takaoka Haru is familiar with is his weakness. Nakabayashi Zen will attack everyone who can recognize him, but he will not be punished. Although I don't know why, the police all take it for granted that these are all done by 'Nakabayashi Zen'.
He bears all the blame.
He would be desperate, there is no doubt about that.
Hinata Hajime looked at him, "So you went to the hospital?"
"Mr. Hinata knew I would go to the hospital, and he saved me at that time." Takaoka Yuru's voice was bitter, "I couldn't grab anything. He was right. I didn't value my things enough, so everything was stolen from me."
"Director Shenshan, I recognized you."
Takaoka Yuru was stunned for a moment, "Director Kamiyama... are you talking about Yolin?"
"He, recognized me? No, he also knew that the person in the body now was not talking about me, right?"
"I met him when I went to see Black Rock for you. He told me that he thought something was wrong with you, so I casually told him to be careful."
"I thought he would disappear, but he came back at this time." Hinata Hajime exclaimed, "It seems that you have a very good relationship. He has made a decision for both you and the Black Rock agent."
Shenshan Yanglin returned home and prepared himself mentally for a long time. He kept calculating the gains and losses in his mind and kept telling himself that he must not get involved in this matter.
Finally he gave up and came to the hospital at this time.
Because he was worried, if it was really as Hinata Hajime said, and it was the current Takaoka Yuryu who attacked Kuroiwa, then Kuroiwa was not dead, would he attack Kuroiwa again at any time?
Black Rock is now unable to resist.
Concern for his friends outweighed his fear, so he came back.
However, Takaoka Yuru's face became paler as she listened to Hinata Hajime's words.
Director Shenshan, who is worried that he will return, may become the next target of Zhonglin Shan. Although on the surface, he and Shenshan Yanglin have no personal relationship, they are really too familiar with each other. If this continues, one day Zhonglin Shan will realize that Shenshan Yanglin is also the one who needs to be eliminated.
No, this can't go on.
A solution must be found as soon as possible.
Looking at Takaoka Yuru who was frowning and thinking about a solution, Hinata Hajime left him in the living room and returned to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Chiaki Nanami was sitting in front of the computer, holding her Usagi doll, and looked a little listless.
"Nanami?" Hinata Hajime sat on the chair, "What's wrong?"
"I just feel very sad." Nanami Chiaki lowered her head, "Because the people he loved were hurt and brought despair, but he was unable to save those people, Hinata-kun, he must be very sad."
Hinata Hajime leaned back in his chair, his heterochromatic eyes showing a bit of gentleness, "There must be a way."
"Nanaha, didn't you teach me? To believe in my companions, to believe in everyone, to believe in love, and even more, to believe in the future."
"Everything will be fine."
…
The next day, the sun was shining brightly, there was no trace of anyone outside, and no one knew that there was a sad soul in the house.
Hinata Hajime pushed open the door, and then he saw Takaoka Haru sitting on the sofa.
He sat quietly, looking at the sky outside the window. Although he had not slept all night, he still did not feel much tired. Or rather, this seemed to be the most peaceful time for him.
When she heard the bedroom door open, Takaoka Haru turned and looked at Hinata Hajime.
"Good morning." Takaoka Yuliu greeted Hinata Hajime and said, "Mr. Hinata, I think I know what to do."
Hinata Hajime blinked, "Do you know what to do?"
"Yes." Takaoka Yuliu stood up. Nakabayashi Shan's body had not been in a healthy state for a long time. Not sleeping for a night made him sway a few times and feel dizzy, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
He said, "I'm going to turn myself in."
Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, "Turn yourself in?"
"I don't know how the police still targeted me after Nakabayashi Shan injured Kuroiwa. Maybe all the bad things he did will be replaced by me, but it doesn't matter, or it's really too good to be true." Takaoka Yuliu came over and grabbed Hinata Hajime's sleeve, "As long as I am caught by the police, it will be fine."
"The evil Nakabayashi Shan has been successfully arrested. As long as he is in prison, he will not do terrible things again. That guy can't just throw all the blame on us at will."
"That way, everyone will be safe."
Takaoka Yuru said, "Mr. Policeman, please arrest me."
