Being able to arrange two agents at the door of Shirakawa Rui's ward was the best he could do.
Mr. Kudo, you're on your own. If something unexpected really happens, I just hope you can shout louder so that at least the two people outside the door can hear you...
"Captain, what's the problem? I see you are very skilled." An FBI agent nearby couldn't help but laugh and asked after hearing his silent curse.
"Damn it! Even you are here to laugh at me, right?"
Walking in the corridor, Michael cursed and slapped the young agent on the back of the head. Then he looked at the people who were laughing behind him and said in a low voice:
"Learn it well, maybe it will be useful to you guys someday."
"Understood, Captain..."
"Okay, everyone, disperse. I'm going to give you a task."
After laughing for a while, Michael suddenly looked serious and said in a serious tone:
"Remember what Mr. Kudo said to us in the elevator before?"
What Michael was referring to was that Kudo Yusaku asked him to carefully investigate the other wards on this floor.
“Although we can’t enter the young master’s room, they can’t possibly not let us into other wards, right?
Now let's split up, two people in a group, and check all the wards on this floor as quickly as possible. Keep your eyes open and see if there are any dangerous items hidden. You all know this, so I don't need to explain...
Remember, don't make big moves, don't be tough, be more tactful, tactful! Did you hear that clearly?"
"Yes, Captain!"
So, after giving instructions to everyone, Michael himself, along with an agent, walked to a ward at the end of the corridor.
When he passed by this ward before, he took a deliberate glance at it. At that time, in addition to the patient, there was also a female nurse who seemed to be taking notes.
After knocking gently on the door, Michael raised his hand to open it, and put on a decent smile on his face.
In the room, a male patient was sitting on the bed. Beside the bed was a female nurse who was communicating with the patient while writing something in the notebook in her hand.
It was no different from what Michael had seen outside the door a few minutes ago.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
After hearing the noise behind them, both people in the room stopped at the same time and turned to look in Michael's direction.
"Michael, an FBI agent."
With a slight smile, Michael took out his ID again and walked towards the female nurse.
Agent?
"Don't be nervous. We just came here with that gentleman. You little nurses should know this, right?"
"Are you talking about Mr. Kudo?"
Upon hearing this, the female nurse nodded immediately.
"Indeed, the director informed us half an hour ago that Mr. Kudo would come to visit Master Rui soon, and asked us to keep our voices down and not disturb Master Rui and the others.
However, Master Rui's ward is not here, what are you doing..."
While the nurse was answering, Michael had already walked up to her side and, using his height advantage, glanced calmly at what was written in the notebook in her hand.
It was full of medical terms, and the handwriting was so sloppy that I couldn't understand it at all. It looked very professional.
"Oh, don't be nervous. Mr. Kudo has already met your Master Rui. We just came here to check out the other rooms around here. It's our duty. Don't be too nervous..."
Without saying the word "check", Michael shifted his gaze and quickly looked around the ward.
It was basically the same as the image of a ward he had in mind: a white room with an LCD TV hanging on the wall, a hospital bed, several cabinets, and a bathroom.
Apart from these, there was nothing else in the ward.
"How long has this gentleman lived here?"
After winking at the agent following behind him, Michael looked at the female nurse and male patient in front of him and asked with a smile.
Behind him, the agent immediately understood what he meant and turned to check the bathroom in the ward.
"It's been almost half a month." The male patient replied, his tone seemed a little nervous and stiff.
Michael has seen this kind of situation many times. Even though he was being humble to the maid just now, in fact, these ordinary people also looked nervous and scared when they saw the FBI.
"Well, are you feeling unwell? It should cost a lot to be hospitalized here, right?"
While asking all these random questions, Michael casually opened the two cabinets beside the bed and took a look.
It was basically empty inside, there was nothing there.
Finally, Michael bent down slightly and glanced under the male patient's bed.
It is truly a hospital where even members of large families come to stay. Even the floor under the beds is swept so cleanly without any dust.
"Come to think of it, I see this ward seems to be a multi-person ward, right? Are you the only one living here now?"
Continuing to communicate with the male patient, Michael sat down beside his bed in a very familiar manner. Taking the opportunity to communicate with him, he calmly and quickly stroked around the bed.
During this time, he did not feel that there was anything strange hidden, like a gun or a bomb.
At this time, the agent in the bathroom also came out. The two looked at each other, and the agent shook his head silently.
It can be basically confirmed that there is nothing wrong with this ward.
"Okay, excuse me for disturbing you. You guys continue. I'll leave now. I wish you a speedy recovery, sir."
"Thank you, thank you!" Upon hearing this, the male patient nodded quickly in response.
And so, Michael took the agent out of the ward.
Not long after him, the detectives in the other wards also came out one after another. They gathered together and told each other about their investigations in the wards, and finally came to a conclusion:
The hospital does not contain any dangerous items that could cause a conflict.
【Mr. Kudo, you can rest assured. 】
Michael said silently in his heart.
Chapter 588 Huh?
In the other ward, Shirakawa Rui had already met Kudo Yusaku.
"Long time no see, Uncle Kudo."
The door was closed by the maid outside. Shirakawa Rui sat on the hospital bed and looked at Kudo Yusaku who was standing at the door with a smile.
It was morning and the sunlight was shining in from the window. A small table was set up above Bai Herui's bed, on which was a set of tea sets for making tea.
There was no one else in the room except the two of them. There was an empty chair next to his bed, which was obviously prepared for Kudo Yu.
"Xiao Rui, it's been a while since we last met."
Kudo Yusaku nodded slightly, he walked forward with a smile, but did not sit on the chair. Instead, he walked straight to the window and pulled the curtains on both sides.
Bai He Rui had no intention of stopping him, and didn't even look at his actions. He just picked up the already boiled teapot on the small table in front of him and poured a little into the teacup next to him.
The sunlight was blocked out, and the light in the ward became much dimmer in an instant.
"How's your health lately?"
With his back to Shirakawa Rui, Kudo Yusaku pressed the communicator in his chest pocket.
Suddenly, a slight sound came from the tiny earphone that he had hidden in his ear early in the morning.
The communication is connected and the signal in this room is normal.
"What else?"
Upon hearing this, Bai He Rui picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled slightly.
"I am born with a defect. I am afraid I will have to spend my whole life in the hospital..."
"Don't say such depressing words."
Kudo Yusaku finally turned around and walked towards Shirakawa Rui's bed, but he still did not sit on the chair. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the back of the chair, moved it a few steps to the side, and then finally sat down.
"Medical science is so advanced now. Maybe one day, there will be a miraculous drug that can heal your body. It's too early to give up hope now, isn't it?"
His words seemed to mean something.
"Mr. Kudo is right." Shirakawa Rui said with a smile: "This possibility does exist. Maybe some special medicine will appear one day and cure me..."
After the two of them said this, they suddenly fell silent at the same time.
But immediately, it was Kudo Yusaku who spoke first to break the silence.
"Xiao Rui, you told me on the phone before that you have found out a lot of things you want to discuss with me in the past few days. What are they specifically?"
Of course, Kudo Yusaku knew that two days ago, Shirakawa Rui used the power of the Karasuma Group in the political arena to conduct a detailed investigation of the archival information of Akai Shuichi's family.
Unlike organizations that hide in the shadows, although the Karasuma Group possesses considerable power on the surface, their every move is watched by outsiders.
It is impossible for Shirakawa Rui to hide his investigation of the Akai family from his superiors.
"Actually, it's nothing special. After all, it's probably all things that you, Uncle Kudo, already know..."
Shirakawa Rui said this, looked at Kudo Yusaku, and suddenly asked back:
"Uncle Kudo, what do you think of the mysterious organization that Mamiya mentioned?"
Baihe Rui asked him in return, and was even more direct than him.
As expected, Kudo Yusaku directly brought out the words he had prepared long ago.
"In my opinion, this is an extremely violent terrorist organization. The organization is extremely powerful and has presence in many countries around the world. It has long gone beyond the scope of ordinary terrorist organizations.
Such an organization must have the support of some powerful forces behind it..."
"Well, it seems that Mr. Kudo and I agree on this point."
Bai He Rui nodded when he heard this, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
“Mamiya was my good friend. When he was alive, he entrusted me with matters related to the organization. This was not only a trust in me, but also a trust in our Karasuma family.
Therefore, whether out of personal feelings or a sense of responsibility to our democratic society, the Karasuma family cannot stand aside in this matter."
Kudo Yusaku did not interrupt him, but listened patiently to Shirakawa Rui's "empty words". He knew very well that Shirakawa Rui asked him to come here today not just to say these things.
"at the same time……"
