Chapter 555: Chapter 466: Car Accident, Old Acquaintance Returns, Continue to Instigate (Two-in-One for Monthly Pass)

It was after eight o’clock at night. The curtain of darkness had descended upon the city, and the streets of Sapporo were lit by an array of street lights and neon signs, no longer shrouded in snow. The pedestrian traffic was heavy, and the roads bustled with vehicles.

Due to Japanese women’s indifference to the cold, the streets of Sapporo saw many skirt-wearing, leg-baring females as soon as the snow melted in March—relying solely on a pair of thin black or flesh-colored stockings to keep their legs warm.

If it weren’t for the fact that most of them had knock-knees.

It could have been quite a charming sight.

In the Central District, across from the office building of Beiyuan Construction Co., Ltd., Yamada Shinryu, clad in a grey cotton jacket, was rubbing his hands and breathing into them while his eyes, through the car window, were fixed tightly on the office building’s entrance.

Due to the temperature difference inside and out, a layer of fog had formed on the car windows and windshield, necessitating him to crack open the window slightly. Although this helped to disperse the fog, it also allowed the cold wind from outside to pour in.

Yesterday, Yamada Shinryu had taken a tour inside Beiyuan Construction, and after browsing the employee roster hung in the lobby, he had his sights set on the new president, Ito Kayo.

Today, he was prepared to take action. His plan was to step on the gas and drive straight into Ito Kayo the moment she stepped out. After the collision, he intended to flee by car, the backseat filled with food and water to last him through the escape.

This man was determined and resolute in his actions.

For this fiend who had reduced him to a homeless dog, this vile capitalist, only by grinding her into mincemeat could he find solace for his deep-seated grudge.

Murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Yamada Shinryu as he muttered to himself, "Damn capitalists, just wait until you taste the might of a working man’s wrath, bastard!"

His grudge against Ito Kayo went beyond the fact that she was the developer who had demolished his home; he had also, in the extreme, focused all the resentment he had toward past employers solely onto her.

After another three or five minutes of waiting, he finally saw Ito Kayo emerge, carrying her briefcase.

Yamada Shinryu’s expression tensed, revealing a cruel, ferocious smile as he decisively turned the key, gripped the steering wheel, and floored the accelerator toward Ito Kayo.

"Bang!"

His eyes locked solely on Ito Kayo, he failed to notice a black Toyota Crown speeding from the side. As he sped out, he collided with the rear of the Crown right in front of him. Accompanied by a loud crash, the high-speed Crown gyrated amidst the screams of bystanders, finally rolling onto its side by the curb. Yamada Shinryu’s Honda slid forward, crashing into a pole; every airbag deployed and he passed out in the driver’s seat.

"Ah! There’s been an accident!"

"Call an ambulance, quick!"

Panicked screams filled the air.

Ito Kayo was equally startled, though she didn’t realize she had narrowly escaped harm, and earnestly helped by calling the police and an ambulance.

Officers from the Central District Police Station were first to arrive on the scene.

They cleared the crowd and set up a police line.

After the ambulance arrived, it was announced that the two people in the Crown had died on the spot, leaving the scene to the police. They only took away Yamada Shinryu, who still showed signs of life in the Honda.

Before the ambulance had even arrived, the police had carefully photographed the scene for evidence. So, after the Crown’s passengers were declared dead by the doctors, they began the grim task of attempting to remove the bodies from the vehicle.

Apart from the two corpses, they found a box in the car. Its edges were leaking some strange fluid due to the accident. One of the officers placed the box on the ground and opened it to inspect. Upon opening, he exclaimed in shock and collapsed to the ground.

"Idiot! What the hell!" The police inspector in charge of the scene, seeing his subordinate’s pitiful display, cursed as he walked over and took a glance inside the box. His expression changed drastically as he cursed, "Dammit!"

Journalists who had come to the scene at the news crowded outside the police line, scratching their heads in curiosity, craning their necks to catch a glimpse of what was inside the box.

"Officer, what’s inside?"

"Yes! What’s in there?"

The inspector’s expression shifted as he squatted down, with gloved hands lifting the box, and approached the journalists, "Have a look for yourselves."

"Ah! It’s... a kidney!"

"My God! Why is there a kidney?"

The reporters were abuzz with exclamations as they took continual photos.

In the box was a fresh kidney that should have been immersed in some type of solution. However, due to the violent collision and compression, the box was deformed and ruptured, causing the solution to leak, and the sight of the pristine kidney was indeed ghastly.

The discovery of a fresh kidney at a traffic collision site naturally alerted the headquarters, and the Director of the Criminal Affairs Department, Oda Take, because of his personal involvement in another major case, entrusted the matter to Deputy Director Aoyama Xiu Xin to follow up on the investigation.

He instructed him to solve the case without fail—after all, the incident was bound to hit the news by tomorrow.

Aoyama Xiu Xin delegated the matter to his top subordinate, Nakamura Shinichi, then left for home himself.

Meanwhile, at Hokkaido University Hospital, a patient lying on the operating table, anticipating a new lease on life with a kidney transplant, received devastating news. Director Panasonic Toyoshige told him that the transplant was canceled due to a sudden emergency, as the matched kidney had been lost.

"What? How could this happen!" The patient, upon hearing this, was shocked, furious, and panicked, grabbing hold of Panasonic Toyoshige’s arm and bellowing, "What kind of operation are you running here! How could a located kidney source be lost?"

"I’m terribly sorry, sir!" Panasonic Toyoshige was very respectful and spoke in a subdued tone, "The vehicle transporting the kidney was in an accident on its way here, and the kidney ended up in the hands of the police. However, rest assured, we will quickly organize free physical exams across all middle and high schools and universities in Hokkaido to match a new kidney for you."
