Chapter Seventy-One: Threats

Mieko stared at the patient lying on the hospital bed with her beautiful eyes wide open under my reminder. Le Wen Novel|

At this time, the patient slowly opened his sunken eyes, moved his fingers slightly, and slowly opened his mouth with difficulty.

He coughed violently, breathing, and gasped for air. His tired body trembled, and his eyes were wide as he stared at Mieko, who was sitting beside him.

Mieko clenched her father's wizened right hand with both hands in a choked and sympathetic voice.

The patient's left hand was raised, slowly pointing to his face, which was completely covered by an oxygen mask, and his meaning seemed to be very clear. He hoped that Mieko would help him remove the oxygen mask so that he could speak a few words.

Obviously, at this moment, he seemed to have something very important to explain. But what is there to say that he is willing to risk his life and take off his mask?

Mieko reached out and wiped her tear-stained eyes, then took a deep breath and slowly removed the oxygen mask covering her father's face.

The patient was gasping for air violently in his throat, and his face was sallow and dry, like a rotting corpse about to dry up.

He braced his bony hands and struggled to sit up. The patient's lips were dry, and he looked up at me, who was leaning against the door, and he blinked, coughed at Mieko and asked, "Keiko, is this......?" Who is this gentleman? ”

Mieko was full of tenderness, and whispered in his father's ear: "Dad, this is the famous Chinese detective Mr. Long Shaoyou Long that I often mention to you. ”

When Mieko's father heard my name, he was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and his sunken eyes stared at me so hard that I felt chills all over my body.

After more than ten minutes, he finally came to his senses, and he opened his mouth with difficulty.

He was short of breath and said, "You...... You're Mr. Long? ”

I nodded at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Musashi, I'm Long Shaoyou, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Musashi shook his hands and pointed to the outside of the ward, his eyes looking straight out of the room.

After a while, after seeing that there was no one passing by outside the door of the ward, he said disappointedly: "Mr. Long, Keiko's request for you to find Mitsuko has not been completed......

Without waiting for me to answer his question, he sighed and continued: "Alas! We have known for a long time that things will not be so easy, we have been looking for photons for more than 20 years without a trace, how can we expect Your Excellency to bring photons back in just a week...... Alas...... In fact, I have always had a bad premonition, I know that she must have died a long time ago, otherwise why would she not contact us, there must be no way to find her again, let alone hope to see her again. ”

At this time, I naturally couldn't hide the fact that I had found his wife, Mitsuko Yamada, so I took a deep breath and relaxed before I spoke: "Mr. Musashi, you don't have to be disappointed, in fact, I have already helped you find Mrs. Yamada. ”

After Musashi heard my words, his sunken eyes widened, he held my right hand tightly, and said in a lost voice, "Really...... It's true? You didn't lie to me? Then why didn't I see her come back? ”

I paused, let go of his hand, and said softly, "Mr. Musashi, someone Ryu has really found Mrs. Yamada, and she has definitely not deceived you, she has promised to come back tonight to meet you." ”

After Musashi heard my words, he was extremely excited, and his body trembled violently, and he kept coughing.

He coughed and gasped, suddenly raised his eyes to look at Mieko, and said with a short breath: "Keiko, is what Mr. Long just said true?" He really didn't lie to me? ”

Mieko nodded heartbrokenly, tears falling uncontrollably. She lay on Musashi's chest and said in a choked voice, "Dad, it's true, Mr. Long has really found Mom, and I've already seen her." ”

After Musashi heard Mieko say this, he was even more excited, he opened his mouth wide, and said in an impatient voice, "Keiko, is your mother okay?" Where the hell has she been after all these years, and why didn't she come to us when she was still alive? Why don't you come and join us? ”

Mieko was so frightened by him that she immediately sat up, she was just about to speak, but I had already interjected at this time: "Mr. Musashi, Mrs. Yamada is okay, you don't have to be impatient, the reason why she hasn't come to you for so many years is because she has no way at all, because...... Because she has her own unspeakable suffering. ”

Musashi sighed and said, "So will she come back to meet me tonight?" ”

I smiled and said, "Of course, she will definitely come to meet you tonight, Mr. Musashi, I hope you take good care of yourself, and I will definitely bring her back to meet you in the evening." ”

After listening to my words, Musashi slowly closed his eyes and lay on his back on the hospital bed, he reached out and pointed to the oxygen mask, motioning for him to put it back on.

Mieko looked sad and picked up the oxygen mask with both hands and slowly put it on her father's face.

When her father was asleep, I patted her on the shoulder, pointed out the door, and motioned for her to go out with me.

Mieko reluctantly glanced at Musashi lying on the hospital bed before standing up and following me.

Walking out of the ward door and coming to the entrance of the hospital, Mieko and I sat quietly in a flower bed in the hospital.

Mieko didn't speak, I took a deep breath and said to her slowly, "Keiko, we must go and rescue your brother Miyamoto first." ”

Mieko looked at me in despair and sighed, "How are you going to save him?" Now we simply don't know where Johnson, who kidnapped him? ”

I didn't feel discouraged after listening to Mieko's words, because I saw a familiar figure not far from the door.

The man was dressed in a cheap suit and had an elongated beard, but he looked energetic, and he stood in front of me and Mieko with a smug look on his face.

This person is Johnson, who kidnapped Miyamoto in a broken temple. At this moment, he was standing in front of me and Mieko in a grand manner.

Before I could speak, he first looked up at me and Mieko Senran and sneered, "Mr. Long, Miss Mieko, are you worried about Mr. Miyamoto's whereabouts?" ”

I clasped my hands in front of my chest, looked up at Johnson's face, pointed at his nose and scolded: "You beast, you still have the face to come to see me, you pretend to be repentant all the way on the surface, but in fact, you have already made a conspiracy in your heart, deliberately stalking us, and then knocking Miyamoto unconscious while we are not paying attention, and then kidnapping him, do you think I don't know?" ”

Johnson "hehe" Sen Ran smiled: "Mr. Long is worthy of being a famous detective, and he has already guessed that I did it, yes, Mr. Miyamoto was indeed kidnapped by me." ”

After Mieko heard Johnson's words, she immediately stood up, pointed to his body and shouted loudly, "What the hell did you hide my brother in?" Get him back or we're going to call the police......"

Johnson shrugged his shoulders proudly, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Miss Mieko, I advise you not to call the police, if I can't rush back within twelve hours, then your brother's life will be difficult to protect, because I have already asked someone to make arrangements in advance." ”

Mieko hurriedly asked, "What arrangement?" ”

"Chop him to death with a knife and bury him with me. Haha......"

Mieko glared at him, clenched her fists, and said angrily, "What do you want to let go of my brother?" ”

Johnson turned his head to look at me and suddenly sneered: "My request is very simple, this matter is just a gesture for Mr. Long." ”

I naturally knew what his request was, I rolled my eyes and said contemptuously to him, "You just want the yin and yang mirror on my body, you want to use it against Mrs. Yamada, who was mutilated and killed by you." ”

Johnson nodded frequently and smiled: "That's right, you're very right. ”

He paused, then smiled again: "Mr. Long, in fact, I have no grudge against you, as long as you are willing to give me that treasure, I can promise to give you a lot of money as a reward, this amount is absolutely unimaginable to you." ”

Mieko was afraid that I would accede to Johnson's request, so she tugged at my sleeve and whispered in my ear not to agree.

I patted her hand lightly, signaling that I was in my own hands. Then I sneered at Johnson: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't dare agree to your conditions." ”

Johnson frowned and said hurriedly: "This is not a small amount, don't you think about it first?" ”
