Chapter 84 New Identity
Hokkaido International Hospital.

There is no longer the silence that should have existed in the past, and people are coming and going in the corridor.

Doctors and nurses came in and out, stretchers one after another.

"My legs! My legs doc! I can't feel my legs!"

A man with his lower body covered in blood cried out loudly. His voice was not of pain, but of fear. When one suddenly loses a piece of one's body perception, the feeling of emptiness and incompleteness is something that no healthy person can accept.

"Calm down! Calm down! It's okay, trust us..."

The nurse grabbed his waving hands and trotted over to comfort him.

"I...I shouldn't have gone to watch the fun, I shouldn't have gone to watch the fun! I want my legs, I want my legs!"

The man was crying out of breath.

The nurse tried to comfort him while shouting, "Sedative! Give him a sedative!"

Then, the noise gradually drifted away...

Conan leaned against the wall with a numb expression.

He lowered his eyes, not wanting to look at the tragedy before him.

But the smell of blood kept filling my nasal cavity, and no matter how strong the disinfectant was, it couldn't cover it up.

The familiar taste made his stomach churn and he felt like retching.

So, he bit his mouth tightly until blood came out...

Mao Lilan gently took his hand.

Conan didn't look up, and Mao Li Ran didn't speak either.

They just snuggled up to each other, waiting for the final result.

at last……

A doctor walked out of the operating room.

"How are they, doctor? Are they in serious condition?"

Xiaolan and Conan hurried over and asked questions at the same time.

The doctor took off his mask, nodded and said, "His life is saved!"

“… Really… That’s great!”

After releasing her impatience, Mao Lilan couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

Conan was in a trance for a moment when he heard the word "alive": "Then... when can we see them?"

The doctor said, "Wait until their injuries stabilize. It's not appropriate to have visitors right now... Observe them for a few days. I'll call you when they're fine."

"...I understand. Thank you, doctor."

The doctor nodded, his expression still a little serious: "By the way, little friend, where are your grandparents, or other elders?"

Conan was stunned: "My grandparents have passed away, and the other elders are not in Hokkaido."

Xiaolan asked: "Doctor, is...something wrong?"

The doctor hesitated to speak again, but seeing their increasingly uneasy looks, he said, "I shouldn't have said this to you two kids, but... forget it!"

He said seriously: "Although the two patients have saved their lives, the situation is still not optimistic!"

Pulling out the medical records in his hand, the doctor said: "Ms. Kudo is fine. Her upper arm is fractured and her internal organs are also somewhat damaged, but she will recover completely with some rest."

"But……"

He sighed, "Mr. Kudo's situation is more troublesome... He has a spinal injury and his lower body is almost completely paralyzed."

paralysis……

Conan's breathing hitched and he staggered a few steps before steadying himself.

Xiaolan was also incredulous: "Paralysis? This... Doctor, is there no other way?"

"Let's see how it recovers later."

The doctor didn't say anything definite, but his expression told the two people that recovery was basically impossible!

He looked at the two children's distraught appearance, thought for a moment and comforted them: "As long as they are alive, there is a chance. Don't be too pessimistic. Besides, it's already good luck that they woke up... The patient named Fujisai who was sent here with the two of them has not regained consciousness yet."

He shook his head and walked back into the operating room.

There are a lot of patients today, and he has to prepare for the next one quickly.

Behind him were two bodies without souls.

it's getting dark.

The two of them left the hospital like zombies.

It was still as bright as day outside.

Countless people, holding searchlights, marched around the hospital to demonstrate.

[Useless government! Poisoning and bombs! What else do we have to go through?! ]

[The vicious criminals are all students! The Ministry of Education has seriously neglected its duty! ]

【What happened to Hokkaido? ! 】

Conan looked at it silently for a while, then left dejectedly.

——Is it the right decision for me to come to Hokkaido?

Conan asked himself.

He looked up at the starry sky, not knowing where he should be...

##
BAR
This is the name of a bar.

Its name is strange, without any prefix, just the English letters of the bar, and the old neon light even only lights up the lower half of the three letters.

Its location is also strange. It is not on a busy street, but the entrance is on the side of a deserted alley.

The young man pushed open the glass door, and the bell hanging on the top of the door rang crisply.

The bar is very small, with the bar counter filled with drinks taking up more than 70% of the entire space. There are also two small tables similar to roadside stalls placed symbolically next to it.

The lights above are warm yellow, and the lamps are carved into the shape of clear crystal, making them look like the most expensive things in the entire bar.

There aren't any guests here.

The young man sat at the bar.

The middle-aged man in a black and white bartender uniform put down the wine glass he was wiping and asked softly, "What would you like?"

“Martini.”

The young man looked at him and said.

The bartender gave a predictable look.

——This is an established code.

It turns out that all the people who come to his bar are gangsters.

Three parts Gordon's Gin, one part vodka, half part Kina Lillet, shaken with ice and a slice of lemon.

The bartender pushed the pale white liquor in front of the man and asked, "Who told you?"

"Miyamoto Ze."

The young man, Su Beixun, who was wearing a mask, said softly. He picked up the wine glass and tasted it, then frowned slightly.

"It seems that the guest is not used to drinking."

The bartender keenly caught his movements.

Su Beixun did not hide it and pushed the glass away: "This is the first time I drink in these years."

"I see."

The bartender turned around, took out a bottle of mineral water and placed it next to the wine glass, motioning Su Beixun to do as he pleased.

Then he said, "Since it was the old agent Miyamoto Ze who told you, then he should have also told you about the characteristics of my place, right?"

Su Beixun nodded and didn't care: "Expensive!"

"Yes."

The bartender said, "After all, we still have to maintain this bar...Okay, you can tell me your request."

"I need a new identity in Tokyo, preferably one that is connected to the upper class."

Su Beixun said.

Things here will soon be over. Instead of staying in Hokkaido, which will soon be the focus of police attention, it is better to return to Tokyo.

And since Noah's Ark couldn't follow the path of the winery, it could only start from the upper class. The bartender frowned: "Tokyo? Then why did you come to the black market in Hokkaido? And you have to be from the upper class..."

Because I am not familiar with Tokyo.

Su Beixun sighed secretly.

He said bluntly: "I can add money."

The bartender smiled and stopped complaining about the difficulty.

"Well... Actually, I do have one here! He's a collateral descendant of the Jiang Shou Group."

Jiang Shou?

Su Beixun showed an interested smile under the mask: "Tell me in detail."

The bartender smiled but said nothing.

Su Beixun said, "How much? I want this identity."

"One hundred million yen!"

"can!"

Su Beixun did not hesitate.

He hasn't spent much of the ten billion he got from the maple leaf gold coins and vodka, and he is rich enough now.

"Wait."

Su Beixun jumped off his seat and left the bar. Ten minutes later, he came back dragging a large sack.

When the mouth of the sack was opened, it was filled with large-denomination banknotes worth tens of thousands of yuan.

The bartender didn't ask why the money was left at the door. After checking a few bills to make sure they were genuine, he took the sack behind the counter.

Su Beixun unscrewed the water and took a sip: "Can you tell me now?"

"Of course!"

The bartender said, "Do you know who is the current head of the Jiangshou Group?"

Su Beixun replied: "With the help of Jiang Shouzhe."

Giving him a somewhat surprised look, the bartender continued, "Yes, it was Jiang Shouzhe's help."

"Eshou Tetsunosuke has five brothers, and he is the fourth oldest. One of his older brothers is named Jiang Morize, and the identity we can provide is Jiang Morize's grandson - Jiang Morize Yuzuru."

The bartender said as he pushed a photo over.

This is a photo taken during the cherry blossom season.

On the ground covered with pink cherry blossoms, a boy in black clothes smiled cheerfully. He was about 15 years old, with fair skin, and looked like a spoiled young master.

The bartender continued, "Jiang Shou Yuzuru's father died a long time ago, and two years ago, Jiang Shou also died of drunkenness in his own room."

"A burglar found his body and fled, then sold the news to us."

Su Beixun nodded.

People like them who make a living by selling identities pay special attention to information about bodies that have not yet been discovered by the police, and they offer high prices to them, so it is normal for thieves to sell them.

"After receiving the news, we investigated Jiang Shouze's identity, went there overnight to clean up his body, and fabricated the illusion that he was traveling."

"And what's even more coincidental is...his grandson Yuzuru Emori was at a dorm with his classmates and had no idea about this."

Su Beixun took another sip of water: "So you are interested in these two identities?"

"Correct."

The bartender nodded. "When Jiang Shou Yuzuru comes home from his training camp, we'll kill him as well... and then find two people to have plastic surgery to look like them, and seamlessly replace them in life."

Su Beixun frowned: "Replacement? Is it reliable?"

If there is a huge difference between the actions before and after, it will be easily exposed and cannot withstand investigation, and the value of this identity will be greatly reduced.

The bartender said, "Don't worry. Jiang Shouze is quite rich, so he doesn't go to work and doesn't interact with other people much. He basically drinks every day, so it's not difficult for him to act."

He boasted like a businessman: "In order to reduce the loopholes, we didn't even move home."

Su Beixun nodded.

The bartender continued, "As for Jiang Mingyu, he just graduated from junior high school two years ago. After entering high school, his interpersonal relationships basically started from scratch."

After a pause, seeing that Su Beixun did not respond, he said what he had prepared: "According to your request, we will arrange for Jiang Shouze to die unexpectedly, without leaving any body..."

"Afterwards, since Yuzuru Emori is a minor, the police will definitely contact his family. Among his currently living relatives, the closest ones are Emori Tetsunosuke and his brothers, and they are all in Tokyo now."

"Then, you will take over Yuzuru Emori's identity and be brought to Tokyo to live."

Su Beixun tapped lightly on the counter with his index finger.

He asked, "I understand the general situation, but since Jiang Shouze and Jiang Shouzhezhisuke are brothers, why is he here?"

The bartender explained: "We have investigated. The two of them turned against each other in order to fight for the family property. As the loser, Jiang Shouze was squeezed out of the power center. In a fit of anger, he brought his grandson to Hokkaido."

"But don't worry, the culture of the consortium is based on family members. Even if Jiang Mingzhe and Jiang Mingze have a grudge, he will not or cannot stop you from returning to Tokyo... In order to show the leader's generosity, he may even adopt you personally... After all, Jiang Mingzuru is a regular family descendant, not an illegitimate child."

Su Beixun didn't say anything.

The only sound in the quiet bar was the tapping of fingertips on the table.

Seeing that Su Beixun had been staring at the photo, the bartender said, "This is the photo he took when he went to the training camp... It's also the last photo he took when he was alive... But this one is not important!"

He took out another photo: "This is the current photo of the man who had plastic surgery to look like Jiang Mingyu... If you want to have plastic surgery, it's best to follow this."

Su Beixun asked: "Do you have the real Jiang Shou Yuzuru's hair and blood?"

The bartender shook his head. "No. We burned his entire body to ashes. Nothing was left."

Hearing this, Su Beixun frowned and said, "I have a question. How about the paternity test?"

Although he is related to Jiang Shoujia by blood, the test results of his direct and collateral descendants are different.

If there was hair and blood, he would have a chance to switch it.

The bartender said: "The probability is very small... but if it really happens, you can only consider yourself unlucky."

After saying that, he quickly added: "I've already told you the news. Whether you take over this identity or not, I won't return the money."

Su Beixun remained silent.

In fact, if it comes down to probability, he who possesses [Disaster] shouldn't be afraid.

But after overdrawing his energy last time, his body could no longer maintain the [Disaster] state for a long time. He wanted to save the few remaining chances for a more critical moment.

So he asked, "Can you help me get it done if I pay more?"

The bartender was puzzled: "How do you do that?"

"Every hospital under Tokyo Satie-no-Kami has bribed the doctors involved to make false certificates."

"This……"

The bartender was surprised: "It's really not necessary. The probability is..."

Su Beixun interrupted him, stared into his eyes and asked, "Can you do it?"

The bartender pursed his lips and said after a long while: "Five hundred million, just give me five hundred million and I'll take care of everything!"

Su Beixun grinned: "Deal!"

Afterwards, he used the same trick again and dragged in 500 million yen from outside the bar.

"Don't worry now, wait until I notify you before taking action."

The bartender nodded: "Of course, you are God."

Su Beixun finished drinking the water in the bottle and turned back halfway through his walk: "Oh, right, those two people who disguised themselves as Jiang Shouze and Jiang Shou Yuzuru..."

The bartender understood what he meant and assured him, "Don't worry, they will fly to the United States on the day of the operation, undergo plastic surgery, and will not come back for 20 years."

Su Beixun's face remained expressionless.

He actually wanted to kill those two people.

But they were a team with the bartender, and if they really did that, it would probably irritate the bartender. Even if they killed the bartender, it was unknown whether there were other people in their team.

Forget it...

Su Beixun finally asked: "That thief?"

"rest assured!"

The bartender said, "The day he came to sell the news, he disappeared from the world."

"That's good!"

Su Beixun smiled and walked out of the bar.
