Although he had expected it, Ameko was still a little depressed after running into a wall at Kurobe Saburo. She and Zhang Heng found a place nearby to have a quick lunch, and then rushed to the public hospital where Asano Naoto had been rescued before.
After asking at the ward visit registration desk, it turned out that Rinko had not been seen before, but the head nurse who was passing by stopped when she heard the name.
"Senior Zaijian did work here, but she has retired. When I first came here, I couldn't do anything well. It was senior who always encouraged me and guided me. Do you have anything to do with her?"
Zhang Hengdao raised the fruit basket in his hand, "My father had a serious car accident before. Aunt Linzi took care of him and recovered. We would like to thank her again."
This kind of thing is quite common in hospitals. Many patients or family members will come back to thank the attending doctors and nurses after being discharged. Hayami Rinko is often thanked because of her extremely serious attitude and meticulous and dedicated work. In addition, Zhang Heng has a hand in In that basket of fruit, the current head nurse had no doubts about the purpose of the two people in front of her.
She tore off a piece of paper, wrote a bunch of addresses on it, and handed it over, "Fortunately you met me, Rinko-senpai is here now."
"Wanzakura Nursing Center?" Ameko read out the name of the place on the piece of paper.
"Yes, I saw that my senior was not married and had no children. After retiring from the hospital, she went there to do volunteer work. She said she wanted to continue to use her remaining energy and find a place for herself in the future." The current head nurse said in her tone. Full of respect.
Zhang Heng thanked her and took the subway to a nursing home on the outskirts of the city with Ameko. This time, with the help of the staff, he successfully met Rinko Hayami herself.
She was teaching flower arrangement to an old man who had almost completely lost his hearing. When she saw Zhang Heng and Ameko, she looked a little confused but nodded to them.
Five minutes later, Zao saw Linzi settling the old man and came over, "Who are you?"
Perhaps because of her career, Hayami Rinko looked very serious and meticulous in the photo. Zhang Heng was worried that she would not be easy to communicate with, but after meeting her in real life, he found that she was much more easy-going than expected.
Zhang Heng handed over the fruit basket, and the three of them sat down on the sofa.
"We want to ask you to know something. I don't know if you still remember the vicious traffic accident 22 years ago. At that time, two young people were racing in the opposite direction at high speed, and eventually collided with a large truck. One person died on the spot and the other Seriously injured, seriously injured people are called..."
"Naoto Asano." Hayami Rinko continued, "I remember this incident, not because it was reported in the news at the time, but because the child was still very young. He had been fighting death. It was obvious that he did not want to leave this place. world, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t help him.”
Zhang Heng and Ameko looked at each other, "I heard that you were with him all the time. I...we are his family members. We want to know if anyone visited him when he was awake, or asked to see someone. .”
"No, you are not his family members." Hayami Rinko shook her head. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Ameko couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot under her gaze.
Zhang Heng remained calm and added, "I am a distant relative."
"…………"
Hayao Rinzi smiled, but did not dwell on this issue anymore, "If you are asking about other people's affairs, I will not tell you without the consent of myself or my family, but what he said... is rare. There will be people in this world other than the media who will care about him."
"What's the meaning?"
"Naoto Asano, he is a very lonely child. During the three days he was hospitalized for rescue, only his grandfather came to see him. His parents heard that they had severed ties with him... Oh, by the way, he seems to have an uncle. , but he only sent two subordinates to guard his door and never went in."
"So does that mean no one cares about him at all?" Both Zhang Heng and Ameko were a little surprised by this answer.
Hayami Rinko sighed, "In our line of work, we are accustomed to life and death, but it is indeed rare to leave alone at this age. He did not regain consciousness in the end, and I don't know if it was luck. Still unfortunate.”
…………
Ameko looked confused when she left the Wanzakura Nursing Center. It was different from what she imagined. After meeting Rinko Hayami, not only did things not become clear, but they became even more confusing. Now the two of them are surrounded by fog.
It seems that Asano Naoto's uncle doesn't care that much about his nephew. He didn't even want to take the time to come to the hospital to see the nephew 22 years ago. It makes no sense that he suddenly wants to avenge him after so many years.
But if the person who set fire to the seafood store that night was not Kihitomi, who would it be? Why did they attack Takeda Tetsuya, who had already retired from the car industry, and why did they pretend to be Kihitomi?
"No, this doesn't make sense at all logically." Zhang Heng said, "Looking at it now, the purpose of the other party is to force your father to surrender to Guitong. But since they know this, they can just stab him Go to Guitong and let Guitong's people deal with your father."
The investigation of the two people came to a dead end, and there were no other clues for the time being. Seeing that it was getting late, and there were still people with empty stomachs who had not even eaten lunch, so Ameko went to the KFC on the roadside and packed up two family buckets, and the two took a taxi back. To my cousin's small apartment.
Walking into the elevator, Ameko rummaged for the keys in her bag, but Zhang Heng's expression suddenly changed the next moment.
Because he found that the door was actually open. Although there was only a small crack, Zhang Heng remembered clearly that the two of them had locked the door when they left. Although Ameko is usually a bit silly, she will not do it. Such errors.
The girl was a little anxious when she saw this scene. She was worried that Toru Takeda would go to Ghost Eyes alone and throw himself into the trap. Although Asano Naoto's uncle was not too concerned about his dead nephew, the murderer came to visit, even if it was for protection. He couldn't let the other party go because of his reputation as a big boss.
Ameko raised his foot and was about to rush in, but Zhang Heng held him back.
There was a strong warning sign in Zhang Heng's heart. In Takeda Tetsuya's condition, it was impossible to break free of the ropes on his own. There must be others to help, and the state of this door was really weird. A little, half open, just telling people outside to come in and take a look.
Before the situation became clearer, Zhang Heng planned to take Ameko out of here first, but their footsteps had obviously been heard by the people inside. The next moment, a figure rushed out from behind the door. Seeing that he was dressed the same as before in the aquatic products store The guy who got off the dark blue voxy at the door was from the same place.
Zhang Heng has never practiced boxing, but he has been working out. His current physical fitness is still better than that of ordinary people. When the guy opposite him just put his hand into his pocket, he was already in front of Ameko and punched with enough strength. In the face of the other party, the latter was completely stunned by this, and fell directly back into the house.
Zhang Heng has not fought with anyone since he graduated from elementary school. He was a little surprised by the result of this punch, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. Now is not the time to lament that he is strong. The top priority is to think about it first. In order to expand the results of the battle, you must know that the opponent is probably carrying a gun. He was about to pounce on him and try again, but the next moment a cold barrel was pressed against the back of his head.
