Chapter 17521759 [Bourbon vs. Uzo]
The ambulance drove with sirens blaring and quickly sent Ito Tamanosuke to a suitable hospital.
A few hours ago, this hospital actually welcomed another patient.
No matter how hot the weather is, the river water is icy cold.
Amuro Toru spent so much time in the river, and then worked non-stop for two nights to make up for the time he had wasted in the water. After all this, he suddenly found that he had a fever.
Although the problem could be solved by taking some medicine and sleeping at home, before falling asleep, Toru Amuro discovered that this illness came at the right time: if he remembered correctly, the congressman Takada, whom he had been paying attention to recently, happened to be staying in the VIP ward of a hospital.
Councillor Takada looks like an incompetent fool, and his private life is a bit decadent, but he is very capable at work. It's a pity that his ideas and achievements just touch the red point of the organization, and the more capable he is, the closer he is to death.
Combining the clues he collected from various channels, Toru Amuro suspected that the organization would target Congressman Takata during the election.
"Blatant assassinations are likely to arouse suspicion from the outside world. This method may be used once or twice when necessary, but if direct assassination is chosen every time, it will easily expose the existence of the organization. In comparison, deaths due to 'medical accidents' are definitely more in line with the organization's wishes."
Amuro Toru used his overheated brain to think: "Why don't I take advantage of this illness and stay in a ward near his. Even if I can't save people from the organization directly, I can catch the trace of the assassin and dig out information about the organization from that person."
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Amuro Toru didn't even have time to recuperate and rushed to the hospital exhausted.
The congressman's VIP ward is difficult to approach, and waiting is boring. After thinking about it, Toru Amuro decided to start wandering around the hospital looking for a suitable doctor.
Toru Amuro has several parallel schedules, one of which is about Uzo - ever since he accidentally saw the mission report with "Uzo" written on it from Gin, Toru Amuro always felt like he was being plagued by bad luck.
Part of it was simply bad luck, but part of it might be due to other reasons: just a while ago, before the opening ceremony of the Nishitama Twin Towers, Toru Amuro received an invitation letter from "Ouzo".
That time he went as promised, and was nearly stewed like a teppanyaki in a burning building. He also met an extremely suspicious pink-haired young man.
Faced with this sudden malicious intent, it was hard for Toru Amuro not to pay attention to this organization leader who was trying to harm him. However, the other party's whereabouts were too mysterious, and the rumors were too true and false, so his investigation never made any progress.
But even so, Toru Amuro still found some clues.
A while ago, when he was working as a flower deliveryman, he was involved in a doctor murder case. The doctor who fell to his death in that case turned out to be a peripheral member of the organization. Amuro Toru got some information from the items he left behind.
He thus guessed that Wuzo might have had some contact with some psychiatrists - according to rumors and various clues, that guy was different from ordinary cadres. He not only killed people for missions, but sometimes he would kill people for fun. It was said that he particularly liked doctors, and among doctors, he liked psychiatrists the most.
"This hospital also has a related department. Although the possibility of contacting Uzo's target is small, it is better than looking for a needle in a haystack as before... It is probably equivalent to reducing the difficulty to looking for a needle in a swimming pool?" Amuro Toru silently planned in his mind:
"If I'm lucky and the psychiatrist in this hospital happens to be Wu Zo's target, that would be great. If not, I can get to know other doctors through him in the future. If I continue to get to know other doctors like this, maybe I'll run into Wu Zo one day. Anyway, I have a lot of chores to do, so this one won't make a difference."
In addition to doctors, clues about Uzo may also be found from Ireland.
Toru Amuro already knew why Ireland was anxious to find him these two days, but he kept procrastinating and didn't want to establish a solid connection with Ireland immediately.
But on the one hand, he hated these organization cadres with blood on their hands from the bottom of his heart. Cooperating with them would make him feel bad and it would be easy for him to expose himself accidentally. It was not a good choice.
Secondly, he always felt that if Ireland really had key information about Uzo, would he make himself so miserable?
He was hit by people falling from the building every day and almost had a plane crash. He had to push out a confidant to protect himself... Maybe this was just a bait thrown by Uzo. Approaching Ireland would not only fail to deal with Uzo, but would bring disaster.
In short, Toru Amuro didn't have much hope for the Ireland line.
But it was a clue after all, so he didn't reject it directly: just keep Ireland hanging for two days, and when that guy is cornered by Uzo, he might voluntarily reveal more information, which would save a lot of trouble.
…
In this way, Toru Amuro began his short hospitalization.
Of course, he was indeed tired, and life in the hospital was comfortable and peaceful.
After a good sleep, when he opened his eyes again, it was already late at night. Amuro Toru stretched comfortably and took out his mobile phone to check the news, but suddenly found a reminder popped up on the page: the live broadcast has started.
Toru Amuro: "...?"
There is only one live broadcast that he has been paying attention to recently, which is Jiang Xia’s live broadcast.
It's not that I want to see Jiang Xia's schedule and avoid him. It's just to prevent myself from accidentally breaking into the live broadcast. Too much exposure is not a good thing for both the members of the organization and the undercover, especially the latter.
So... why did the live broadcast suddenly start in the middle of the night?
Amuro Toru was silent for a long time at the message, then slowly stretched out a finger from under the quilt and tapped it heavily. He didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling.
The next moment, the page popped up, and a whistling ambulance appeared on it.
The reporter sat in his car and explained the situation to the shaky camera: "A second murder has occurred in the theater, and a victim has fainted! The victim is being rushed to the hospital. I hope the case ends here and there won't be a third life."
The night scene outside the window was very blurry as the vehicles passed by.
But Amuro scanned the area with a perspective line and was able to quickly identify the road section where the vehicle was currently located.
As he watched, he fell into deep thought - was this an illusion? How come this car was driving towards the hospital where he was?
After another ten seconds, he confirmed that it was not an illusion.
“…”
Toru Amuro sat up suddenly, grabbed the clothes beside him, and instinctively wanted to leave.
However, the sound of an ambulance siren faintly heard from the window brought him back to his senses.
