I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 457 Kenzo Masuyama, kept in the dark (2nd update)
The next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the living room through the gaps in the curtains. Shiraishi E sat at the dining table, slowly finishing the last bite of toast, then downed his coffee in one gulp. He put down his cup, glanced at Akemi sitting opposite him, and said calmly, "Ready?"

Mingmei nodded slightly, her fingertips tightening slightly, her knuckles turning white, clearly indicating that she was not at peace.

The thought of bringing her mother home filled her with inexplicable excitement!
"Be careful on the road." Ai also wanted to go with her to pick up her mother from the hospital, but due to her health condition, it was really inconvenient for her to appear in front of Kenzo Masuyama.

She could only stay at home with regret.

“Okay.” Shiraishi E nodded, then got up and walked towards the basement.

When the door was opened, Kenzo Masuyama was leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. Hearing the noise, he opened his eyes and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "Looks like it's time?"

Shiraishi E did not answer, but walked up to him and delivered a precise chop to the side of his neck.

Before Kenzo Masuyama could even react, everything went black and he fainted.

Half an hour later, Kenzo Masuyama was shoved into the back seat of the car, Akemi sat in the passenger seat, and Emi Shiraishi was in charge of driving.

The vehicle drove smoothly toward the University of Tokyo Hospital, the scenery outside the window rushing past.

During the journey, Kenzo Masuyama slowly woke up. He rubbed the back of his neck and let out a low groan, but quickly regained his composure.

He straightened his slightly disheveled suit collar, and even took the time to tidy his hair in front of the rearview mirror, then chuckled: "Young man, you've got a pretty heavy hand."

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful." Shiraishi E glanced at him through the rearview mirror and smiled.

Kenzo Masuyama glanced at the unmasked bandit and didn't think the other party would be so generous as to show him his true face.

This face is most likely a disguise.

He smiled and said, "However, compared to those hotheads in the organization who are quick to pull out their guns, you know better how to behave."

He leaned back in his chair, looking calm and composed, as if he were just casually chatting about the weather: "Having lived to my age, I've long understood one thing—panic solves nothing."

Mingmei glanced at him through the rearview mirror and sighed inwardly: As expected of a veteran assassin who has experienced countless bloody battles, he can still maintain such composure even when he is at a disadvantage.

The vehicle eventually stopped in front of the University of Tokyo Hospital.

After the three got out of the car, Kenzo Masuyama took the initiative to walk in front and led them through the corridor to the office of Elena Miyano's attending physician.

The attending physician was a man in his fifties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a serious expression.

Upon seeing Kenzo Masuyama, he appeared slightly surprised, but still politely rose to greet him: "Mr. Masuyama, what brings you here in person today?"

Kenzo Masuyama nodded slightly and said directly, "I'm here to process Yumeko Nanjo's discharge from the hospital."

The attending physician frowned and advised, "Although the patient's condition is stable, premature discharge may affect subsequent treatment. Would you like to reconsider?"

Kenzo Masuyama shook his head, his tone resolute: "No need, I've already made up my mind."

Seeing his resolute attitude, the attending physician sighed and finally nodded in agreement.

He took out a stack of documents for Kenzo Masuyama to sign, then handed him a thick folder of files, saying with a slightly apologetic tone, "These are the patients' treatment records over the years. Unfortunately, our efforts have not brought about significant improvement."

Kenzo Masuyama took the file bag calmly: "This is not your fault. Some things are simply beyond human control."

The attending physician gave a bitter laugh and said, "That's true, but I'm still not resigned to it... So many years of effort, and it's all been for nothing."

After completing the formalities, the attending physician personally led them to the ward.

Swipe your card, enter your password, and the heavy hospital room door slowly opens.

The attending physician stood at the door and said, "A nurse will come over in a moment to help you get the patient to the car. I have other work to do, so I'll take my leave." After saying that, he bowed and left.

A few minutes later, three women in white nurse uniforms pushed a wheelchair in.

They kept their heads down, their steps light, and at first glance, nothing seemed amiss. However,
Just as they passed by E Shiraishi—

The cold light appears!

Three female nurses suddenly slid sharp scalpels from their sleeves and stabbed the three men with lightning speed!
Masuyama Kenzo's pupils contracted sharply, and he hastily dodged to the side, but he was too slow. The blade sliced ​​across his arm, and blood immediately soaked through his sleeve.

He grunted and staggered backward, a flash of shock and anger in his eyes: "You—!"

Shiraishi E's reaction was astonishingly fast. He gripped the wrists of the two attackers with both hands like iron clamps, rendering them unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, he twisted sharply, and in the instant they cried out in pain, he used the force to stab the scalpels in their hands back into their own throats!

Blood splattered, and the two female nurses stared wide-eyed before collapsing to the ground!
Meanwhile, a third attacker was relentlessly pursuing Kenzo Masuyama.

Despite being a skilled and experienced assassin, his aging body became his biggest obstacle, and his stamina quickly waned.

After several rounds, the suit was torn in several places, making it look quite disheveled.

Shiraishi E's eyes turned cold, and she strode forward, delivering a karate chop to the nurse's wrist holding the knife.

The other person, in pain, released their grip, and the scalpel clattered to the ground.

Seeing that her two accomplices were dead, the female nurse realized that they were skilled and that she was no match for them.

Then, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she immediately closed her mouth, trying to bite down on the poison inside her teeth.

As a seasoned assassin, Kenzo Masuyama naturally understood what the other party wanted to do, and warned sharply, "She's going to take poison!"

In a flash, Shiraishi grabbed her chin, pressed down hard with her thumb, and dislocated her jaw.

The nurse opened her mouth in agony as the poison sac rolled out of her mouth.

Shiraishi E glanced at her coldly before putting her chin back in place.

The nurse was flustered and tried to resist.

Shiraishi E casually punched her in the stomach, and the nurse immediately bent over and knelt on the ground, her face full of pain, and she lost all ability to resist.

Shiraishi E turned to look at Masuyama Kenzo, her tone playful: "It seems someone doesn't want us to leave smoothly."

"What...what exactly happened?" Masuyama Kenzo, clutching his injured arm, walked up to the nurse with a grim expression.

After the nurse recovered, she refused to say anything.

"I'll give you one chance. Confess voluntarily, and I'll make sure you die a quick death!" A cold glint flashed in Masuyama Kenzo's narrowed eyes as he said, "I know everything the organization knows!"

These words made the nurse's face turn pale instantly. She finally said, "We received orders from the BOSS to eliminate you."

"BOSS?!" Upon hearing this news, Kenzo Masuyama was shocked. He exclaimed in disbelief, "How could he know about this? I was so discreet!!"

The nurse shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. Our orders are to report to him immediately if anyone tries to move Nanjo Yumeko."

"And the order he just gave us was to eliminate you."

After saying that, she impatiently urged, "I've told you everything I know, just give me a quick answer!"

Kenzo Masuyama said with a grim expression, "Give her a quick death..."

Without wasting words, Shiraishi E grabbed the other person's neck and snapped it, ending the person's life.

He looked at Kenzo Masuyama, the old man muttering anxiously to himself, "How could he know? How could he know?" His expression was extremely flustered.

Clearly, the boss already knew that the other side had hidden Elena Miyano.

However, because Elena Miyano had become a vegetable, she did not cause him any trouble.

Perhaps the BOSS also hopes that Kenzo Masuyama can find a way to wake up Elena Miyano so that she can continue her research.

Therefore, Kenzo Masuyama was manipulated by the BOSS from beginning to end.

What a pathetic worm!
Mingmei stood to the side and witnessed the whole thing, turning pale with fright.

Before she could even react, the battle was over.

However, considering her mother's situation, Akemi forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and whispered, "We... must leave here as soon as possible."

“Yes.” Shiraishi E nodded, her gaze sweeping over the corpse on the ground and the subdued attacker, and said, “Let’s go. The real trouble is probably just beginning!”
