Chapter 5252
Kitamura Kazuhisa's expression froze for a moment, and he stood still, with a whirlwind of thoughts in his mind.
It is known that the watermelon rind that the other party gave him at the beginning has special research value. So at this moment, the other party mentioned the watermelon again, which probably contains some corresponding hints - let him conduct more in-depth research on the [Silver Bullet] and its antidote.
In addition, the other party also mentioned the Autumn Festival. The Autumn Festival is a well-known event in Japan. Although it is not as famous as the Summer Festival, it is also quite famous.
This is an event that does not have a specific time point but has a rough time period. I think he was given a deadline to complete it, but it was not strict enough to be precise to a specific day.
A series of reading and understanding flowed through his mind. Kitamura Kazuhisa stood still and slowly sorted out his thoughts.
So far, his drug research is of excellent level and has made good progress.
As early as when he was following his parents, Kitamura Kazuhisa showed his superb ability in drug research.
At that time, his parents did not let him participate directly, but he still understood the secret of [Silver Color Bullet 04] that his parents were researching by reading relevant documents.
After the fire in the laboratory, he grew up and started his own business. He resumed his parents' research and even went a step further - after Asahi Yuaki gave him a bag of watermelon rinds, he started developing a corresponding antidote.
Regardless of whether the person in front of him wanted to use this key drug research to usurp the throne, commit treason, or seek credit, he could come up with a similar framework for the other party within the time limit of the Autumn Festival.
After a brief consideration, Kitamura decided to accept the suggestion of the person in front of him, so he nodded and replied, "Okay."
Yes? Chaori Xiqiu blinked when he heard that, then suddenly realized. Yes means I can be discharged from the hospital?
He was immediately overjoyed.
I originally thought I would have to stay in the hospital for a few days for examination, but since the doctor said it was okay, I thought I could be discharged early.
Now I don't have to lie on this narrow square bed to kill time! Moreover, this is a dark side ward with no light. Chao Ri Xi Qiu doesn't like this chilly room, so it would be best to leave as soon as possible.
"That's great. There's no time to waste. Let's act quickly." Chao Ri Xi Qiu's eyes lit up as he answered firmly and got out of bed swiftly.
——As a result, the next second, he almost fell to the ground with both knees bent to wish everyone a happy new year in advance.
He lay there for a long time and his body had not fully recovered yet. Fortunately, there was a watermelon vine climbing on the railing next to him, which he grabbed to steady himself.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu glanced at the watermelons spreading in the room, and tried to hold back, but in the end he still didn't ask the question "Why are there watermelons in the ward?"
After all, judging from other people’s attitudes, they have become accustomed to Watermelon-kun’s omnipresence…
Chao Ri Xi Qiu slowed down a little with the help of the vines, took a few tentative steps, and was able to walk almost normally again.
He is a well-nourished and adaptable person. He recovers quickly from major and minor injuries, and even after a long illness, he can recover quickly.
Logically speaking, even if I was hit by a car, I shouldn't have been unconscious for so long, Asahi Yuki thought as he walked.
He plotted in his mind: Could it be that Watermelon always covered himself with leaves to make him faint when he was about to wake up? Combined with the darkness he saw, this guess was very reasonable.
This is simply perverted, Watermelon! Could it be that Watermelon is still using some kind of manual time trick?
Asahi Yuqiu was complaining wildly in his mind as he followed Dr. Kitamura. After some basic examinations and completing a series of procedures, he finally walked out of the hospital gate.
When he was discharged from the hospital, Kitamura Kazuhisa was standing at the door watching.
Just before Asahi Yuqiu stepped forward, he said, "...You are sure I can see her again, right?"
In the backlight, Dr. Kitamura's expression was unclear, his black eyes looked even deeper, and his light-colored lips were pursed.
He slowly stroked the small strawberry hair tie on his wrist with one hand. Over the years, the plastic strawberries on it had faded, and the hair tie itself had pilled and spun. But even so, he still carried it close to his body and never threw it away. Because it was the only thing his sister Kitamura Aoi left for him.
After the initial excitement that overwhelmed him at the news about his sister, Kitamura Kazuhisa has now somewhat regained his sanity, and the look he gives Asahi Yuaki is filled with scrutiny and suspicion.
He repeated, "Will I ever really see her again?"
Who was he meeting again? Asahi Yuqiu didn't react at first, but after two or three seconds, he guessed from the Japanese pronunciation of the female in the other person's words that he was meeting another person in the dream - the girl in the wheelchair, the older sister of the person in front of him.
From the dream, it is vaguely known that the two were lost in a fire when they were young. Chaohi Xiqiu understands the other's eagerness to find their relatives.
For modern people, it is relatively convenient to find someone in the new society. Especially now when information technology is becoming more and more popular. So as long as you persist and don't give up, you can always find your relatives!
"As long as you work hard, you can definitely do it." After a brief thought, Asahi Yuaki decided to encourage him. After all, this kind of thing definitely shouldn't discourage others.
As long as you work hard, you will succeed?
Kitamura Ichi-Hsun heard this and a hint of strangeness appeared on his face, but he eventually wiped it off and smiled faintly: "...Of course, I will try my best."
As expected, the condition for the exchange is the progress of drug research, thought Kitamura Kazuhisa. But with such a condition, he felt relieved - the transaction was the most sincere exchange of information.
It seems that the person in front of me really has news about my sister.
"Maybe, you can also try to contact the police." Chaori Xiqiu added.
It is the simplest logic to go to the police if there is a problem. Moreover, in the vague dream, the wheelchair girl was mixed with Sakura Junzhang.
Asahi Yuaki was a police academy candidate for a day. When he was going through the withdrawal process, he saw the Sakura Medal - the symbol of the police.
Kitamura Kazuhisa heard his words and his body trembled slightly. There was a hint of astonishment, confusion and caution between his eyebrows: "What?"
Let him contact the police?! Is this fishing, or--!?
Asahi Yuqiu thought about it carefully, but her memory of this incident was vague, and many past events were covered with a layer of gauze. The only clear clue was probably that——
"...Nightingale." He murmured the word at the end of the email unconsciously, more like a soliloquy than a reply.
Kitamura Kazuhisa keenly caught the sound of the other party's breath and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't know the meaning behind this word, but his intuition told him that it might be a very important code... or a secret code.
"Okay, I understand." Kitamura Kazuhisa spoke here and stopped the conversation.
Kitamura Kazuhisa didn't expect that the other party would reveal a unique secret at the last moment. He saw the other party's sincerity and stopped immediately - he had no interest in digging out other people's secrets, and the more secrets you know, the better. He just wanted to find his sister.
However, through this layer, Kitamura Kazuhisa also saw:
The fact that the person in front of me let the police go in the past and is now tracking the drug research is probably not for the sake of the organization itself. Since the other party has clearly mentioned the police, the position cannot be clearer.
She actually trusted me so much that she told me her side of the story? But maybe it wasn't out of trust, but because she was confident that I, who cared about my sister, would not betray her.
Kitamura Kazuhisa put down his hand that was stroking the strawberry hair tie on his wrist, and his slender eyebrows curved in a smile, his expression revealing a certain calm determination: "I know, you can rest assured."
Chaori Xiqiu: "..."
He was strangely silent for two seconds.
So what did Dr. Kitamura realize from the beginning? Did he realize how to find his relatives after he mentioned that he had encountered difficulties and went to the police?
Anyway, cheer up and wish him the best!
Asahi Yuqiu prayed sincerely for him in her heart. During this time, it seemed that he was the main doctor who took care of her in the bed.
What's more, Dr. Kitamura will accompany me to complete the discharge procedures later! What a nice person!
Asahi Yuqiu cheered Kitamura Kazuhisa until an indescribable look of strangeness appeared on his face again.
He followed the other party, and after a simple examination, he completed a series of discharge procedures.
Chaori and Yuqiu walked out of the hospital. It was a sunny day, but looking ahead, there seemed to be dark clouds floating over the horizon.
He raised his head and took a deep breath of the air of nature, then lowered his head to fiddle with his new cell phone.
This phone is really new! It is no longer a flip phone, and the screen is two times bigger than before.
Chaohi Xiqiu looked back and forth curiously for several times before opening the email inbox on her new mobile phone.
As expected, he saw his friend with a crow avatar—the only friend in the special mailbox.
Oh, it seems that the medical expenses during this period were really paid by Crow's friend. Asahi Yuqiu guessed, and then another question popped up. However, according to Dr. Kitamura, the person who came to give him a new phone was that Kuroshikikai Gin.
How come the phone sent by Gin, the leader of the Kuroshige Club, has the email address of the friend with the crow avatar? Unless the two are friends.
After a brief thought, a bright light flashed in my mind.
In other words, Crow's friend is also a member of the Kuroshiko Society, and he works in the same company as Gin!
The morning sun and evening autumn make me feel extremely emotional.
Oh my god, I never thought that the notorious black society in the eyes of the world actually has so many kind-hearted citizens. Everyone misunderstood, they are actually good people!
He still remembered that his good friend Crow had been paying attention to his watermelon business from the beginning and had provided him with a lot of material support and spiritual encouragement.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu was so eager to make some achievements in the watermelon market, and he also didn't want to disappoint his friend Crow's earnest expectations.
According to the previous barrage information, fake liquor is prevalent in this Heishenhui company... Perhaps, Crow's friend hates this and focuses his attention outside.
Seeing his hard work and dedication, his friend the Crow was deeply moved and kept donating money to help realize the new market order.
Asahi Yuaki came up with a perfect logic in his mind.
He stood at the entrance of the hospital, looked up at the changed environment of the street outside, and looked down at his bank card balance. Then he thought about it and edited a message to his crow friend on his phone.
[In my previous life, I worked diligently and my career was on the rise, but I was framed by a vicious teammate in a car accident and fell to the bottom from then on!
Now, I am reborn in a hospital, holding an army of watermelons, and about to start a new struggle. Transfer me 100,000 yen and listen to my revenge plan. 】
Very good. Chaori Xiqiu looked at the content on the screen with satisfaction. His words were full of energy and sentiment, showing his logical thinking after regaining consciousness, and he was able to clearly point out his current financial needs.
After a quick browse, Chaohi Xiqiu happily pressed the send button.
Three seconds later, he received a new email.
【？ 】
A new big question mark has emerged!
the other side.
In the room with cold black, white and gray tones, the mask of Karasuma's successor is placed on a corner of the desk.
He stared at the message on his phone, and after the initial big question mark, he spent two or three seconds deciphering it before collecting his thoughts.
Well, if you read it carefully, this paragraph may seem frivolous, but in fact the key point is very clear - it lies in the last half sentence "revenge".
It seems that the guy has remembered something. He chuckled. For the guy, the car accident was a great gain.
The former knight's original plan was indeed ingenious. He used himself as bait to trap their promising reserve member Anklaus into prison, and also let the local police investigate the mafia incident at the time, causing the organization's spies in Nagano Prefecture to lose a lot...
The heir of Karasuma counted them in his mind. Even though it had been several years since the Nagano incident, he still remembered it.
He is indeed an elite member of the organization and the best former knight - but unfortunately, they are not on the same path after all.
He folded his hands and looked far away at the wooden cross decoration at the front of the room, where there was a stuffed bird nailed to death with a long needle.
His fate was sealed when his identity was revealed. But before reproducing everything, he wouldn't mind making the setting more magnificent.
The heir of Karasuma lowered his eyelids and tapped the screen a few times with his fingers.
There was the jingling sound of money flowing.
-
Chaori Xiqiu was walking alone on the way back to the store. It was early autumn, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, just right.
Although he had just come out of the hospital, he was not wearing a hospital gown. Otherwise, if he walked on the street, he would probably be quickly arrested by enthusiastic people who called him back.
Kitamura Kazuhisa brought him a clean shirt and pants, and he was discharged from the hospital wearing ordinary casual clothes.
Over the years, Tokyo's streetscape has changed a lot. Some old shops have closed down, and some new shops have opened.
On the big screen in the center of the street, the glorious battle achievements of "Sleeping Kogoro" were playing, and passers-by were whispering about it.
"Wow, it's that Kogoro-san again. He's been solving a lot of cases lately. He's really amazing."
"Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a while since I heard about the case solved by that [Tokyo Savior Detective]."
"Is it the famous Kudo Shinichi? My sister is in the same high school as him. I heard that she went abroad some time ago, so she has been away."
"Oh, so you went abroad! I thought something happened to you and you disappeared suddenly..."
Chaohi Xiqiu caught a familiar name and was cheered up.
Kudo Shinichi? Shinichi? Many years have passed, and the elementary school student Shinichi has grown up and is now in high school.
He is also called the savior... As expected, now is the era where high school students save the world!
I wonder if Shinichi can grow bigger or smaller and transform into a magical girl? Asahi Yukichi thought about it, and suddenly felt the vibration of the mobile phone message in his pocket.
He took his hand out of his pocket, opened his mobile phone, and saw the bank account notification at first glance.
[Dear user, your account **** received a transfer of 100,000 yen on * year * month * day * hour, and the current balance is...]
Chaori Xiqiu raised her eyes and widened them.
Wow, the other party actually gave me 100,000 yen so easily! It's touching!
Now I have to run my own melon shop seriously. Chaori Xiqiu put away his mobile phone, feeling proud and ambitious. Only in this way can I live up to the expectations of my crow friends.
He thought to himself, and walked towards his shop with a heroic and confident step. He only needed to turn the alley in front and a few more corners to arrive.
Chaori Xiqiu turned the corner one second, and the next second - "bang"!
A black car rushed towards him. Asahi Xiqiu had no time to react before he was hit by the front of the car and flew into the air.
Asahi Yuqiu: ???
No buddy, he just got out of the hospital!!!
The sky was spinning and the earth was spun. A feeling of weightlessness came over me. Chaori Xiqiu was like a large loaf of bread, tumbling several times on the hot cement floor, turning over until it was evenly baked, and finally rolling into the green grass beside it.
He just came out of the hospital a few minutes ago, and now, less than half an hour later, he is lying on the ground again. Congratulations, congratulations.
Chaori Xiqiu An was lying flat on a green lawn, with a few festive big watermelons hanging on the branches above him. If another watermelon fell and hit him at this time, it would be a fatal blow.
Then he will ascend to the highest palace in heaven!! Murder, naked world consciousness murder!!
It's not like I woke up and found myself in the script of Final Destination.
His consciousness was somewhat disoriented, and he sincerely hoped that this time he would not wake up to find several more years having passed.
The road he was walking on was not a main road, and there were not many people on the road at noon, not to mention that he fell into the green grass on one side.
Asahi Xiqiu turned his head and vaguely saw a fat black figure approaching. He guessed it should be the driver of the car.
The driver seemed to be quite surprised, but he still moved quickly. He picked up a small square box in his hand, squatted down in front of him, opened it, and hurriedly fed him water and medicine through a small test tube.
My god, these days there are still drivers carrying medical kits and taking first aid measures.
He swallowed it instinctively, and then his thoughts slowly moved to the second half of the beat: But, will taking medicine work after a car accident? I haven't heard of taking medicine first after a car accident!
Could it be that times have changed during the years he was in a coma?
Chao Ri Xi Qiu half closed his eyes, he felt the capsule sliding down his throat all the way into his stomach.
My vision turned gray, my consciousness gradually faded, and the bones in my body seemed to make a creaking compression sound.
He closed his eyes.
-
Gin's fingers clicked on the lighter, the faint blue flame fluttered in his eyes, making his face look even colder.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at his watch. The minute hand was approaching the next moment beyond the hour.
At this moment, a black car approached from a distance and stopped in front of him.
"Vodka." Gin's voice was low and hoarse, "You're late."
"Brother!" A slightly fat man in a top hat jumped out of the car. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, brother. There was an accident on the way."
"What?" Gin snorted, and his eyes scanned the front of the car - with his eyesight, he had naturally caught the scratches and some marks on the front of the car.
"Uh, I was careless... no, to be precise, someone suddenly rushed out from the corner of the alley and bumped into my car!" Vodka explained hurriedly.
It turned out that he had bumped into someone. Gin remained calm.
"Oh, come to think of it, that person seems familiar." Vodka paused, thinking back, "It seems to be the person we saw on the rooftop during the Pramya incident."
The Pramya incident, the rooftop? Gin's mind worked quickly, and he rarely remembered trivial things that failed, but that time, he remembered it.
The last person on the rooftop that Vodka saw was——
The image of an innocent-looking young man with fox eyes appeared in his mind, and Gin slowly stopped clicking his lighter.
Half an hour ago, he received an email from Mr. K. The email said that the former knight had awakened and recovered some of his memory, and asked him to continue preparing for him to join the organization.
Gin is skeptical about Asahi Yuaki's memory recovery. Or to be more precise, he thinks the more memory he recovers, the less likely he will come to the organization.
But after all, it was an order from his superior, so on the surface, he still responded with a yes.
At this moment, I heard news from Vodka again...
Gin was silent for a second.
This is, just released from hospital, and then hit by a car? It can't be such a coincidence.
He opened his lips and asked, "Describe the man's appearance."
The loyal younger brother Vodka opened his mouth and said, "Reddish brown hair, upturned eyes, golden pupils. Upturned lips, pale skin, and a scar on the inside of the wrist."
As an elite younger brother, Vodka has a good grasp of the character's characteristics, so he can summarize it quickly at this time.
Gin: “…”
Well, it is sunrise and sunset.
Very good, now you don’t have to consider the other party’s joining the organization for the time being. I just got out of the hospital and got into a car accident again. I’ll continue to lie down in the hospital.
He casually asked, "How did you deal with it?"
Vodka straightened his back and said proudly, "Don't worry, big brother! I've handled it very well. I've taken care of the surveillance, the physical evidence at the scene, and the man himself. I guarantee that no one will find us!"
Gin frowned, thinking that things were not simple: "How did you deal with people?"
"I learned this from you, brother!" Vodka patted his chest and replied, "There happened to be a box of discarded Aptx4869 in the car, so I imitated you and dealt with the high school student without leaving any trace last time. I also gave him drugs! I guarantee that there is no cure and there will be no evidence! Don't worry!"
Gin: “…”
Gin: “…………”
Vodka held his head high for a long while, but did not receive a reply from his elder brother. He turned around with some doubt and asked sincerely, "Brother, why don't you say anything?"
Gin: “.”
Vodka: "Brother?"
