"It was the head of the Karasuma family who asked you to come close to me, right?"
In the ward, Keiko Hatoyama was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the doctor in front of her calmly.
Facing her gaze, the doctor looked panicked.
"Ms. Hatoyama, why can't I understand what you're talking about? I'm not familiar with the head of the Karasuma family at all..."
"This answer is a bit deceptive. Now you should ask me who the head of the Karasuma family is, so that you can dispel my suspicions, right?"
"Well, that..."
The doctor became more and more panicked, his face turned pale, and there were a lot of sweat beads on his forehead. His previous aggressive aura had long since disappeared, and only fear remained in his eyes.
Yes, he is afraid.
Even at this time, there are several criminal policemen and public security guards guarding the outside of this ward. As long as Hatoyama Keiko's voice in front of them is louder, they will rush in immediately and take him down immediately.
What's waiting for him at that time is probably that he will be buried in Tokyo Bay after being tortured, and finally be listed on Japan's missing persons list...
Damn it! Doesn’t it mean that this sick daughter’s brain is no longer clear? ! How did she notice it? !
"Half a year ago, the head of the Karasuma family said that he would come to pay his respects."
Seeing the fear on his face, Hatoyama Keiko turned back to the wheelchair and looked at the snowy scene outside the window, and said slowly:
"I was thinking that the head of the Karasuma family might take revenge on me for what happened at the airport.
Although my illness is not a secret in his eyes, and I will die soon even if I leave it alone, this result is ultimately incomparable to the pleasure of killing me with his own hands... Thinking of this, the head of the Karasuma family originally He is also a small-minded person.
Since then, I have been thinking seriously about what method the Karasuma family master would use to 'visit' me.
First of all, forced violent assassination is not advisable. After all, to be honest, because of my relationship, the security of this hospital is still very tight. The probability of success is too low, and once it fails, it will be difficult to find opportunities in the future.
In addition, I almost never go out, so after ruling out this, the only remaining option is to find a way to sneak into the hospital.
Among this choice, the most convenient and appropriate one is to take advantage of my condition and approach me openly as a doctor.
I think you probably wanted to use this identity to poison me to death in the first place, right? But after you arrived, I discovered that this method also didn't work.
The medical team in charge of me monitors all aspects of my condition at all times, not only my body, but also my daily medication, which must be checked by many people.
Even if you are one of my attending doctors, under such strict inspection, you cannot poison me without being discovered.
As for the method of poisoning me through several conflicting drugs, it is impossible. After all, the other doctors in the medical team are also not ordinary people. It is impossible for them not to notice this little trick.
So, after thinking about it, you found that the possibility of killing me here is too low and too dangerous, so you can only choose the last method.
That is to transfer me to the American Empire. As long as I can leave this place of strict surveillance, it will be much easier whether I wait until the American Emperor or directly take action on the road.
Of course, more importantly, this will also allow your master, the head of the Karasuma clan, to see my death with his own eyes in order to avenge his hatred. It’s perfect, isn’t it? "
Turning her head slightly, Keiko Hatoyama looked at the trembling doctor behind her from the corner of her eye.
"This is indeed a very good method, and the reason is also very legitimate. In order to get better medical conditions, I transferred to a hospital in the United States and called in famous doctors from all over the United States and Europe... Unfortunately, you are just too impatient.
The nurse responsible for taking care of me mentioned this to me several times before, saying that although you have excellent medical skills, for some reason, you just want to transfer me to a hospital in the United States, but you have obviously been rejected by the medical team several times. , still kept bringing up this topic, and even thought about opening a breakthrough from me.
My thinking ability has indeed deteriorated greatly during this period, but it’s not to the point where I can’t even notice this small detail. It’s really...
As long as you stay calmer and don't let me cheat you out of your trump card so easily, maybe I might actually agree..."
"Plop!"
There was a sudden muffled sound behind him, and surprisingly, the frightened doctor knelt directly on the ground.
"Ms. Hatoyama! Please spare my life!"
He knelt on his knees, lying on the ground with his whole body, and said with a cry:
"I deserve to die! I shouldn't have listened to the Karasuma family...that old Karasuma! I shouldn't have done such a thing!
But, but there’s nothing I can do about it! My family is all in the United States! That old Karasuma still has dirt on me. If I don't listen to him, he will definitely destroy my family! It ruined my reputation!
It was my fault! I will leave Japan immediately! Please spare my life! Please spare my life! "
Survival is human instinct.
Under the threat of death, almost all people will compromise and leave morality and dignity behind.
Keiko Hatoyama looked calmly at the doctor in front of her who had even begun to kowtow.
After all, she has the last link left in her shackles.
She died too slowly, so slowly that Xiao Qing seemed to be able to accept it.
The shackles are too light. If it continues like this, it may be difficult to suppress the changes in the future.
She needs a way to make this shackle heavy enough to completely crush all the changes that time can bring about...
"Get up, it's such a cold day, isn't it cool to kneel on the ground?"
Hatoyama Keiko said this with a slight smile on her lips.
"I didn't say...not to let you kill him."
"Ms. Hatoyama?"
"..."
"I may have to go on a business trip soon."
In the ward, Xiaoqing sat beside the bed and looked directly at Keiko Hatoyama on the bed.
"Did something happen outside?" Keiko Hatoyama asked.
"A serial murder case occurred in the local area. The local police were unable to solve the case and requested support from the Metropolitan Police Department. Although it has not been decided yet, this case... will probably fall on me in the end. .”
The meaning in Xiao Qing's words is obvious.
This local case is very difficult, and such a complicated case will eventually fall into his hands.
"I carefully read the report they submitted before. It shouldn't take too much time. Counting the round trip, it might only take two days to get back."
"What a coincidence..." Keiko Hatoyama said while looking at the ceiling.
"What?"
"No." She shook her head, then looked at Xiao Qing and said with a smile: "Go ahead, work matters are important. I am in the hospital anyway, and nothing will happen to me..."
"Well, I'll ask Karasuma to stay with you for the next two days."
"It's only two days. I'm not the kind of person who can't bear loneliness."
"...Okay." Seeing her say this, Xiao Qing no longer insisted.
"but……"
However, Hatoyama Keiko changed the subject again, slightly lifted the quilt and stretched out her hand towards him.
"Before you leave, please take me down for a walk. I haven't been out for a long time."
"Okay, I'll get the wheelchair."
"No, I want you to carry me this time."
Keiko Hatoyama laughed.
