Chapter 59: Time is Running Out

"Mr. Sakuraba...... Are you feeling better now?"

When Kuroda slowly injected the medicine in the syringe into Sakuraba Goro's body, Mr. Sakuraba, who had been tortured by the pain in his body, finally slowly relaxed. His face gradually returned to his usual expression.

For the average person, the blind use of medical narcotics is likely to be addictive. For patients with advanced cancer, the effect of medical narcotics can only temporarily relieve the pain caused by the disease. For patients like Goro Sakuraba, because they have adenocarcinoma, the circulatory system in the body spreads the cancer cells faster than usual. Because of this, Sakuraba Goro's life is actually running out!

"I promise...... Promise you...... things...... It's done! You ...... Promise...... Promise me ......"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sakuraba, we'll definitely ...... Will definitely find you soon...... The whereabouts of my daughter!"

Hearing that Sakuraba Goro was dragging his weak body and still asking about what he had promised the other party, Kuroda Shoji and his assistant Kimura Akio couldn't help but feel very ashamed in their hearts.

When the effect of the drug gradually took off, the weakened Sakuraba Goro gradually fell asleep. Seeing that the last wish of this dying person in front of him has not been fulfilled. Kuroda and Kimura's hearts suddenly couldn't help but feel very embarrassed.

"There's no news from the Busan Society?"

Kuroda hesitated for a long time before asking Kimura in a low voice.

"Unfortunately, there has been no news from the Busan Club so far. Mr. Kuroda, is it ...... Are we just watching Mr. Sakuraba leave this world with regrets?"

"Time is of the essence...... Seemingly...... I'm going to figure it out!"

Kuroda said, his eyes inadvertently looking at the coat he had snatched from the police last time on Shibuya Halloween. Soon...... A somewhat bold idea popped into Kuroda's mind.

"Well, let's think of a way to see if I can disguise myself as a police officer to check the police's household registration system, although Mr. Sakuraba's daughter is likely to have married and changed to another surname, but ...... If it's the police, I'm sure there will be a way to find out!"

"Mr. Kuroda, you can't do that, like this...... It's so dangerous, you're the most wanted criminal in the Metropolitan Police Department right now!"

Hearing Shoji Kuroda's absurd and bold idea, Kimura Akio was immediately startled. Immediately afterward, he did not hesitate to dissuade him.

"These ...... I know. But...... What can we do now?"

"Mr. Kuroda, for your safety, you are still ...... Let's think about it again! Maybe the whereabouts of Mr. Sakuraba's daughter will be found in Busan in the next few days!"

……

"Knock knock!"

"Please come in!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's voice in the room, Adachi Sheng hurriedly tidied up his remains outside the door, and then gently pushed open the door and walked in.

"Ah...... Ashikaga-kun, may I ask...... Is there something going on?"

"Sorry to interrupt your work, Director......! There's an urgent matter I want to report to you!"

"What the hell is it?"

"Director, I just received an order from the Metropolitan Police Department. Tomorrow morning, the Metropolitan Police Department will hold a meeting of Kabukicho residents at the Shinjuku Ward Hall...... The Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency will also be present at this event, so ...... We've got to get to grips with it right now!"

"What is that?"

Hearing that the Metropolitan Police Department suddenly issued such an order, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but ask with some puzzlement.

"I guess we will gather the residents of Kabukicho and listen to their suggestions for the work of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"I'm sorry, excuse me...... Has the Shinjuku Agency organized similar events before?"

"Uh...... Stopping it has been organized, that is, ...... It was a long time ago!"

"So what are we going to do now?"

"Uh...... First of all, I should inform the residents of Kabukicho about the meeting...... Do you have any instructions for you?"

"I? no...... There are no orders or anything, but ...... If it happens tomorrow, is it too late to let you know?"

"Of course, it's too late, you know, most of the residents of Kabukicho only work at night! Don't worry, I'll be sure to inform the residents of Kabukicho as soon as possible to join us tomorrow morning!"

Hearing Adachi's explanation, Lin Xiuyi learned a little about the matter of the earnest meeting, but ...... Lin Xiuyi has been engaged in criminal work since he joined the Metropolitan Police Department, and he is indeed not familiar with things like the Residents' Earnest Meeting. Now that there is Adachi to promote the work, Lin Xiuyi can be regarded as relieved.

When Adachi was about to leave, he couldn't help but look at the mountain of materials in Lin Xiuyi's room with some curiosity. Even with curiosity, he looked at the two men and women he hadn't seen before. Seeing Adachisheng's puzzled eyes, Lin Xiuyi remembered that he hadn't introduced his subordinates to the other party, so he stood up and took the initiative to say to Adachisheng:

"That...... These two were my subordinates when I was searching for a lesson, and now they ...... We have a lot of cases in Shinjuku City, so ......"

"Ah...... That one...... Understood!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's introduction, Adachi couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, although he also admitted in his heart that there was an insurmountable identity gap between himself and his subordinates and the search lesson, but ...... Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was now actually recruiting his former subordinates to come over to assist him in his work, Adachi still felt a little sad. I thought that with the behavior of his people at the Shibuya Halloween parade that day, the new commissioner should have entrusted himself with a more difficult job, but now......

"Adachi-san...... Do you have any other assignments in the Criminal Division lately?"

"Uh...... Hey, there are still a few cases of robbers that have not yet been solved, and we ...... We'll be looking for it!"

"Adachi-kun, put those cases aside for a moment, and we have now found a key person involved in the escape case of the Tokyo Detention Center in Katsushika Ward, his name is Akio Kimura, I think...... I've entrusted you with the task of tracking down this Akio Kimura, and I hope you can find his whereabouts as soon as possible!"

"Akio Kimura, I know, Director, don't worry, we'll find him as soon as possible!"

"Very good...... Adachi-kun, you should work hard tonight and make good arrangements for the residents' earnest meeting, and tomorrow morning, there will be this Miji Police Department to introduce you to the relevant situation of Kitamura Akio!"

"Hey!"
