Chapter 273: Chapter 212: My Brother Temple, Unrivaled in the World! (8000-word goal achieved!)_2

"Almost there."

After all, he was asking Gangye Yoshiko for help, so Beichuan Si had no thoughts of holding anything back.

Gangye Yoshiko took another sip of her canned coffee before replying, "Don’t worry about Kawakami Nami’s mother. I will make sure she continues treatment with Suzuki Pharmaceutical. They have no right to refuse on this matter."

When she spoke these words, she was assertive, her piercing eyes revealing an indescribable seriousness, "You can also rest assured about Suzuki Fumi. Even in prison, I won’t let him live too comfortably."

Gangye Yoshiko leaned closer to Beichuan Si, gazing at him intently before chuckling softly, "Of course, I just wonder whether you, kid, have done something to Suzuki Fumi and his people."

She raised her head and screamed as if venting, "I don’t know anything! I don’t know anything at all! I don’t understand anything!!!!"

After shouting, Gangye Yoshiko laughed at herself mockingly, "What a failure I am as a police officer..."

In fact, she had already formed a certain tacit understanding with Beichuan Si.

Even now, she could somewhat comprehend Beichuan Si’s thoughts.

Although Beichuan Si had never shown any overtly radical behavior, the less he did, the more likely he was to have done something beyond her common sense— and this, Gangye Yoshiko understood as well.

But was what Beichuan Si did really wrong?

Is it wrong to punish evildoers?

On this point, to avoid falling into the cliché ’concept of good and evil,’ Gangye Yoshiko chose to maintain a neutral stance.

She watched as a smear of white light spread across the sky.

After a long while, she suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of Beichuan Si’s clothing.

Gangye Yoshiko’s lips moved slightly:

"Beichuan."

"Hm?"

"Stay with your sister a little longer," Gangye Yoshiko rubbed her tired eyes, "Suddenly... I feel weary at heart."

"Hm."

Beichuan Si nodded.

...

Gangye Yoshiko took over the follow-up to the case and repeatedly assured Beichuan Si that she would not disappoint him.

When the scandal at Ibaraki Prefecture Second Mental Hospital was leaked, it sent ripples through all sectors of society.

Was such large-scale murder of patients really just for a corporate succession battle?

Suddenly, the major media, like wild dogs scenting blood, mobilized en masse and dug up a lot of explosive information.

Ibaraki Prefecture Second Mental Hospital was to be shut down, with its staff being transferred to work at other hospitals.

The circumstances of Kawakami Nami’s death, somehow exposed by someone, shocked society when they learned that such a medically ethical Tokyo University graduate was brutally killed at the Ibaraki Prefecture Second Mental Hospital, and that his mother was still lying unconscious in the hospital. Many ’kind-hearted’ individuals and the general public expressed their willingness to fundraise.

This attitude led Suzuki Pharmaceutical Group to promptly step forward, stating they would follow Kawakami Nami’s wishes and provide his mother with excellent medical services free of charge.

But behind the scenes, as the key figure who revealed the dark secrets of the Ibaraki Prefecture Second Mental Hospital, it was rumored they didn’t want to affect their everyday life, so they refused the request to go on record.

The uproar of the affair unfolded; it was currently the hottest topic of conversation.

Even high school students were enthusiastically discussing it.

Just like now—

"Wow! Can you believe what happened in Ibaraki?!"

Sakurai Saki was looking at the news on her phone and showing it to her four best friends beside her.

Otomoto Ai, Takigawa Nanako, Sakura Miori, Beichuan Huili.

It was lunchtime at Kyubei High School.

In the midst of their mundane and dull daily life, the four of them sat on two adjacent benches, chatting.

On Sakurai Saki’s phone screen displayed for them were several bold headlines, each followed by a gigantic exclamation mark that seemed as if it could tear through the screen.

"Ibaraki Prefecture Second Mental Hospital? Is it a psychiatric hospital or a slaughterhouse?!"

Scrolling down, there was news about the Ibaraki Prefecture Second Mental Hospital.

"This isn’t energy-efficient," Otomoto Ai commented indifferently with a glance before she stopped paying attention.

All she wanted was to have a peaceful lunch without such things upsetting her stomach.

But aside from her, Sakura Miori and Takiyama Nanako both showed expressions of curiosity.

After reading the article, Sakura Miori touched her chest, her face filled with disbelief, "This is too horrifying, how can such a place exist in the world? An outwardly gentle director turned out to be a cold-blooded murdering demon."

"Indeed terrifying," Takiyama Nanako swallowed and nodded in agreement.

"Is that so?" Sakurai Saki took her phone back and suddenly spoke out of the blue as she looked at the news, "Speaking of which... seeing that young man A who doesn’t want to reveal his real name, I can’t help but think of someone."

"Right? We should think of that person, shouldn’t we?"

The three girls exchanged glances, their voices vibrant and in unison they exclaimed, "Brother Temple!"

They smiled at each other as if they had come to a consensus.

On the other side, Otomoto Ai looked at her three best friends as if they were idiots, then turned her head to the preoccupied Beichuan Huili and said, "Hui Li, please don’t mind them. To put it simply, these three are just too idle, so their mental states are kinda off-kilter right now."

Hmm—

Beichuan Huili came around and gently shook her head: "I’m not worried about that kind of stuff, Ai."

"Is that so?" Otomoto Ai took a bite of her bento and then asked, "Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Brother Temple for a while now. Has he gone off to do something?"

Otomoto Ai’s question immediately drew the attention of the other three girls, who turned their heads to look at Beichuan Huili, equally curious.

Logically speaking, since Kyubei was so small, they should have encountered Beichuan Si frequently. Yet, it had been four or five days with no sign of him.

How could they not be curious?

"Brother Temple..." Beichuan Huili wore a troubled look and sighed, "I remember he went out of town last Friday... He seemed to have gone to Ibaraki Prefecture and hasn’t come back since. I called him, and he just briefly replied to me with an email saying he would be back in a few more days."

Hmm?

Hmm????

After hearing Beichuan Huili’s words, Otomoto Ai’s mouth hung open, while Takiyama Nanako, Sakura Miori, and Sakurai Saki also gaped in astonishment.

"Gone, gone to Ibaraki Prefecture?"

Sakura Miori’s voice trembled.

"Yeah. What about going to Ibaraki Prefecture?" Beichuan Huili, having not heard the earlier discussion from her friends, found their overreaction puzzling.

Sakurai Saki showed Beichuan Huili the phone with an uncertain tone, "We were just talking about whether this grotesque case in Ibaraki Prefecture might be related to Brother Temple..."

And now you’re telling us that Brother Temple set off last Saturday?

Isn’t that the day the incident was discovered?

The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt, even the usually calm and astute Otomoto Ai began to harbor suspicions, "Could it be that this young man A... really is Brother Temple?"

To their suspicions, Beichuan Huili scoffed and looked at them with scorn, confidently asserting, "It must be Brother Temple. Infiltrating a psychiatric hospital alone and uncovering earth-shattering secrets? Such things that could only happen in novels are only possible for Brother Temple!"

How could you, as not his sister, understand Brother Temple’s thoughts?

Beichuan Huili was very confident.

"...At a time like this, I think you should be worried."

Otomoto Ai stared blankly at Beichuan Huili, "I just read the news, and it said something about a shooting..."

"Why worry?"

Beichuan Huili stood with her hands on her hips, speaking with absolute conviction:

"Brother Temple is invincible in this world, there’s no need to worry."

Uh...

They looked at Beichuan Huili, then at each other, silently thinking:

’Your extreme confidence in your own brother is also a problem though....’
