Tokyo Detective

Chapter 335 Everyone is doing whatever they want within the sphere of power.
Naoki Hanyu was completely bewildered. What was going on? Why had the doctor run away?

Turning their heads to look into the operating room, they found Suoh Yuki still lying on the operating table, while the other four stood there at a loss.

Just as Naoki Hanyu was about to enter the operating room, he was stopped by the anesthesiologist Kenta Ono.

“Sir, you haven’t disinfected. If you come in, it could cause infection to the patient’s wound.”

"."

Naoki Hanyu left the operating room, his face expressionless, and pointed at Yuki Suo, asking her a question.

"What's happening here?"

"There was a slight problem during the surgery, but it will be resolved quickly, please don't worry, sir."

Kenta Ono wasn't sure when he said this, because patients undergoing general anesthesia need a ventilator to help them breathe, and they could die on the operating table at any time.

"Can you explain it?"

"Our hospital has its own arrangements, please wait patiently, sir."

Naoki Hanyu didn't want to waste time with the other party, so he took out his police notebook.

"I am Naoki Hanyu, the head of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. I hope you will tell me the truth: who are the two people who just left, and why did you stop the surgery?"

Kenta Ono was stunned. Naoki Hanyu, the head of the First Investigation Division, was that police hero, the ruthless man who recently arrested hundreds of medical personnel.

Oh no, it seems he has offended a terrifying being.

"Um, um, Section Chief Yuzuru, you've misunderstood."

"Can we continue the surgery now?"

"."

Naoki Hanyu was furious. He had dealt with so many cases and doctors, but he had never witnessed such outrageous behavior before.

I've only heard of a case in 2018 where a doctor at a hospital in Osaka was convicted of professional negligence and held criminally liable for leaving the patient during surgery, leading to complications. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

"Who are these two?"

"The surgeon and the resident physician."

Damn it, the surgeon ran away.

Under no circumstances should the surgeon, as the one directing the operation, leave the site.

Kenta Ono added softly.

"Dr. Hasegawa is not feeling well."

"What about the replacement doctor you arranged?"

"."

Naoki Hanyu looked at a nurse whose emotions were surging.

“Nurse, please tell me the truth about what happened in the operating room. This is not a question as a patient’s family member, but as a criminal police officer. The head of the First Investigation Division is questioning my testimony. To me, abandoning the patient is no different from murder.”

This situation has a wide range of implications. If it is only a violation of Article 21 of the Medical Practitioners Law, the most that can be done is dismissal.

However, according to the Criminal Law, Naoki Hanyu could treat the case as attempted murder, and if the person died in the operating room, it would be intentional homicide.

Hirohashi Masako clearly also had a problem with those two oddballs, so she recounted the whole story in detail, which immediately made Hanyu Naoki so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Why would they leave Suoh Yuki in the operating room for such a trivial matter?

Damn it, we arrested dozens, if not hundreds, of doctors. That guy was practically asking for death.

Just then, a mature and beautiful woman in a nurse's uniform walked over, prompting Hirohashi Masako, who was also a nurse, to quickly greet her.

"Head Nurse, you've arrived."

Rika Tanba nodded.

"Hirohashi, you should leave now."

Masako Hirohashi asked, looking troubled.

"Has the new circulating nurse arrived yet? The patient can't wait."

"You don't need to worry about that, the new nurse will be here soon."

At this moment, Naoki Hanyu interjected with a question.

"how long it takes?"

Tanba Rika frowned and gave an irrelevant answer. She felt that the man in front of her looked familiar, but she just couldn't recognize who he was.

"This is an internal transfer within the hospital, I can't tell you."

Naoki Hanyu didn't want to waste any more words and made a phone call to get help.

"I am Naoki Hanyu, the head of the First Investigation Division. I have discovered a criminal suspect at St. Louis International Hospital. Please send the nearest police officer for backup."

"Yes, immediately arrange for nearby police to provide support."

As soon as Naoki Hanyu hung up the phone, the head nurse only realized who the caller was after being reminded by the anesthesiologist, and her expression immediately turned panicked.

Naoki Hanyu leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered something.

"I hope the head nurse can tell me the time, thinking about those doctors who were arrested not long ago."

Upon hearing this, the head nurse nearly collapsed to her knees. Arresting dozens of doctors at once was unprecedented in the medical field for decades, so she had no doubt about the man's abilities.

"The person will arrive in another 15 minutes."

Are there any other doctors who can take over as the surgeon?

"Deputy Director Hasegawa is highly respected in neurosurgery; no neurosurgeon wants to offend him."

Naoki Hanyu extended his hand. "Give me the dean's number."

"."

Just then, two traffic police officers ran over; it was Koda Sasuke and his companion.

"Hoo hoo, Section Chief Yuzuru, what can I do for you?"

Naoki Hanyu said in a deep voice.

“I suspect the surgeon deliberately murdered the patient. I want you two to go to the monitoring room immediately and retrieve the surveillance footage from operating room 103, one hour's worth. Don’t worry, although I don’t have an order right now, as the head of the First Investigation Division, I can use emergency grounds. I can submit the order later.”

The two traffic police officers hesitated for a moment before agreeing. It wasn't like they were committing any crimes; even if they did break the rules, the taller guy would take the blame.

The two police officers left under the watchful eyes of medical personnel and those around them, making it clear to them that Naoki Hanyu was not lying.

"Head Nurse Danbo, I hope you won't put me in a difficult position."

"I give you."

Although Tanba Rika had an affair with Hasegawa Makoto and wanted to protect him, she felt it wasn't worth it to be targeted by the God of Death for her lover's sake.

Soon, Naoki Hanyu called the hospital director by phone. He had met this person once before; the director of St. Louis International Hospital, named Akito Owada, was one of the medical representatives at the recent event.

"Director Kowada, I am Naoki Hanyu, the head of the First Investigation Division."

The hospital director, who was enjoying tea in his office, was immediately alarmed. Could it be that someone in their hospital was involved in the Longgao Group case?

"Officer Yuzuru, is your call about the Longgao Group?"

No, this is how it is.

As Naoki Hanyu finished speaking, Akito Owada immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be such a small matter; all he had to do was call the person back and promise to criticize them afterward.

"Officer Yuzuru, don't worry, I'll call Dr. Hasegawa back right now."

"No, I think you've misunderstood. I want you to arrange for a new surgeon immediately."

Owada Akito frowned as he listened; a policeman actually dared to order him around as the hospital director.

"This is against the rules."

"I'm still investigating the Longgao Group case. I hope you'll reconsider."

Longgao Group
Owada Akito chickened out. To be honest, his hospital had a close relationship with Longgao Pharmaceutical Company. For example, Longgao was the first choice for patients at his own hospital. He didn't want to be labeled as Longgao again because of this.

Now, any company that still has any connection with Longgao is doomed to fail; several small and medium-sized companies are already on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Okay, I'll go arrange it now."

After hanging up the phone, Owada Akito thought for a moment and decided to protect Hasegawa Mami. After all, the other party's medical skills were indeed top-notch, even if her personal morality and character were questionable. Moreover, Takaoka Rui's background was not to be offended.

So, while calling in the best neurosurgeon to take over, he also notified Hasegawa Makoto to return to the operating room immediately, and arranged for someone to delete the surveillance footage to make it look like the surveillance cameras had just broken that day.

To prevent Hasegawa Masami from doing anything outrageous again, he planned to have the new neurosurgeon as the chief surgeon and Hasegawa Masami as his assistant, so as not to give anyone any leverage against him.

However, it was clear that Akito Owada's plan had failed, and he knew he was in trouble when he learned that the police were forcibly accessing the surveillance footage.

The police acted first and reported later. If the surveillance footage was false, they could make things difficult for Naoki Hanyu. However, if it was already detrimental to Makoto Hasegawa, the police could easily cover it up with a supplementary application.
.
Hasegawa Makoto quickly calmed his lover down and returned to the operating room, while Takaoka Rui didn't want to get angry anymore, so she didn't come.

Hasegawa Makoto pushed open the door and immediately stared at his subordinate, who was the most likely candidate for the director's position. Before he could speak, Hanyu Naoki held him down.

"Hasegawa Mami, you are arrested on suspicion of attempted murder."

"what?"

Hasegawa was completely dumbfounded; how did he get arrested?

Dr. Naoki didn't care what the other party thought. He signaled to the arriving support to take the person away. In any case, he had already sent the surveillance video back to the First Investigation Division and asked his subordinates to apply for an arrest warrant from the prosecutor's office.

After all, if it's a petition from Naoki Hanyu, the prosecutors will be more lenient.

Hasegawa Makoto saw that the police seemed to be coming and immediately shouted.

"What are you doing? I still need to have surgery. Let go, let go now."

Naoki Hanyu looked down at the man in front of him.

"You don't need to perform the surgery. Please take him back to Headquarters for Investigation Division 1."

"Yes."

Just then, Akito Owada arrived and, seeing that the deputy director of neurosurgery had indeed been arrested, immediately spoke anxiously.

"Officer Yuzuru, please wait a moment. I think there's a misunderstanding."

“The prosecutor’s office has issued an arrest warrant. If Director Kowada wants to help him, he can find a good lawyer to fight me.”

"."

Logically speaking, the director of a top-tier private hospital should have a higher social status than the head of the First Investigation Division, but there's nothing that can be done when the other party doesn't want to consider personal relationships.

Naoki Hanyu spoke in a voice that was only spoken by the two of them.

"I hope Director Kowada would be willing to be friends with me."

"."

In the end, Akito Owada decided not to get involved in this mess anymore. As for Makoto Hasegawa, he had only himself to blame, and there was nothing that could be done to help or save him.

Although Owada Akito couldn't help, Takaoka Rui, the instigator, didn't think so. After all, the two had a deep relationship, and if Hasegawa Makoto fell, she would also be in deep trouble.

This little incident ended quickly. Naoki Hanyu waited until the surgery was over, which lasted 7 hours, before leaving. During this time, no one else was seen visiting Yuki Suo. It seems that Shonan Suo has really severed ties with Hiroshi Suo and his grandson.

As for the other party involved, Takaoka Rui, he didn't want to deal with her for the time being. After all, it was Hasegawa Mako who suggested leaving the operating room. He would let the hospital director decide on the punishment later.

It's obvious that Naoki Hanyu didn't expect that someone also had a powerful background.
