Chapter 46: Tokyo Drift (16)
Ameko used the broken blanket behind the car to cover the unconscious Toru Takeda underneath, then thanked him and jumped out of the car with Zhang Heng's support.
"Did you say he was lying?"
"No, I just think there's something debatable about his story." Zhang Heng locked the car door and took the elevator to the supermarket with the girl.
"The main thing is that Ghost Hitomi's attitude towards him makes me feel very strange, if it's really like what he said, Naoto Asano woke up in the hospital and told his uncle about his participation in racing, it doesn't make sense that Ghost Hitomi's people wouldn't go to him at that time, you must know that hatred is strongest when people have just died."
"Hmm, maybe the people of the Ghost Hitomi failed to find him, didn't he choose to be incognito after that incident?"
"If that's the case, how can you explain what happened six years later, the stone and the newspaper." Zhang Heng said, "Especially the above sentence, with all due respect, this does not seem to be the tone adopted by a well-organized Jidao society. ”
Ameko thought for a moment, "It seems true that you say that, but the person who set fire to the shop and kidnapped me last night is indeed a demon Hitomi." ”
Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "It's still the same sentence, the time when this group of people appeared is too strange, and now more than twenty years have passed since that incident, why did they suddenly choose to start revenge at this time?" And who is the mysterious person who called him in advance? The people inside the ghost pupil? And why help? Your father is not stupid, he should have been able to detect these problems, but his brain refuses to think now, so we have to investigate this matter. ”
"But we have nothing to do with those people back then." Ameko worried.
"No, we have a breakthrough point right now, if Naoto Asano wakes up from a coma, it is impossible for the nurses and doctors around him not to know, as long as they can find the medical staff who rescued him back then, they can know who he has been in contact with during this period." Zhang Heng pushed a shopping cart to the shelves where the tape was placed, "But before that, we have to calm your father down first." ”
…………
The two bought ten rolls of black tape and two bundles of climbing ropes, returned to the van, tied Toru Takeda tightly, and Zhang Heng drove the L300 to an apartment building under the guidance of Ameko.
"This is my cousin's residence, she is a flight attendant, flying internationally, she is not at home all the year round, she left a key for me so that I can help her water the plants on the balcony, no one should be able to find here."
Ameko opened the door while introducing, although the apartment is small, but it has all the furniture and appliances inside, and it is very clean.
Zhang Heng dragged Toru Takeda in the blanket to the bed, the coma buff of the soup bowl had expired, and the latter had already woken up halfway, staring at him and wanting to say something, but his mouth was sealed with tape, and he could only make a whining sound.
"Even if you really want to die, give us some time, at least don't hang up so unexplained, otherwise Xiao Lin sacrificed himself in vain."
Zhang Heng didn't care if the owner of the aquatic shop could listen to his persuasion, anyway, the other party was now tied up like a zongzi, even if he didn't agree, there was nothing he could do.
Ameko apologized, and then with someone, he used the remaining bundle of climbing ropes to completely secure the fish shop owner to the bed, and after doing all this, the two took a taxi to the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Library.
This is a public library located in Minami-Azabu Festival in Minato Ward, which was founded in 1973 and has a collection of about 1.8 million volumes, which is open to the public free of charge.
At the time, almost all newspapers reported on it, so as long as you searched for the date, you could find the corresponding news, and Ameko only doubled through two copies to find Saburo Kurobe, the doctor in charge of rescuing Naoto Asano at the time, and the Asahi Shimbun had a brief interview with him.
Zhang Heng searched for this name on the Internet and found that Dr. Kurobe Saburo had left the public hospital where he worked at the time and transferred to a private hospital as the vice president, which was a bit troublesome, people at this level were generally very busy, and their vigilance was too high to contact.
Ameko flipped through more than a dozen more newspapers from the same period, including scanned editions found in the library system, and finally made a new discovery in a local tabloid that had ceased publication, "Zhang San, do you think this is useful?" ”
The girl gave the screen to someone on the side, in the past nine months, Zhang Heng has not only been learning to hone his driving skills, but also the language has not been pulled down, in addition to the school curriculum, he is usually grasping every minute to strengthen vocabulary memory, and now he has finally received a reward, he can already complete daily communication in Japanese, as long as the newspaper is not too professional, he can also read a rough idea.
"Rinko Early, the nurse back then?" Zhang Heng was attracted by the serious-looking old nurse in the newspaper.
"Yes, she has been in that hospital for thirty-two years, and it says that when Naoto Asano first entered the hospital, her condition was very serious, so she was accompanied by her with the most experience, and she didn't close her eyes for two days and two nights, but unfortunately in the end the person was not saved, but at this age...... I guess I'm retired by now. ”
"Let's go to Kurobe Saburo and ask first, and if it doesn't work, let's find a way to find Rinko Hayami." Zhang Heng finally made a decision.
As expected, Kurobe Saburo is not easy to approach, he is considered an expert in surgery in Tokyo, and his contact information is disclosed on the Internet, but it is one of his female assistants who answers the phone.
Although the other party's tone was polite, he was unwavering in insisting on making an appointment in advance, but Dean Kurobe's schedule had been scheduled for a month, and the two tried to block people directly at the entrance of the hospital where the latter was now working, and finally saw the main owner after waiting for two hours.
But Kurobe Saburo only said that he had no impression of what happened back then, and after chatting for less than two sentences, he became a little impatient, and opened the door of the black Mercedes-Benz, "If there is anything to find my assistant, I asked a few friends from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to have lunch together." ”
Zhang Heng is not strong, Kurobe Saburo is not a small role like Takeda Tetsuya, once he disappears or is forced to confess, he will soon attract the attention of the public, and this guy may really not remember, a surgeon like him sometimes has more than a dozen operations a day, and he is often so tired that he can't even remember his name when he gets off the operating table.
Ameko watched Mercedes-Benz go away, turned his head and asked Zhang Heng, "What now?" ”
"Try Rinko Hayami's line, she's been in the hospital for decades, and even if she retires, someone should know where she is."
