Kamio Kaede was afraid that something might happen to him, so he didn't dare to touch him.

The little nurse who was cleaning up at the side saw it and said: "You can remove it temporarily for a while. Don't let the patient talk too much. The patient is in extreme pain every moment he is awake."

So Kamio Kaede gently took off Okudera's breathing mask.

Feeling the fragrance of the long-lost air, Okudera breathed heavily and said, "I'm sorry for making everyone worried."

Kaede Kamio shook his head, "Since you know we are worried, don't be so desperate in the future."

Okudera smiled calmly.

Kaede Kamio asked the nurse on the side again. After getting a positive answer, he could feed the patient a small amount of chicken soup.

He slowly raised Okudera's pillow, took a small spoonful of chicken soup from the side and fed it to him, "Brother, please never do such a dangerous thing again. Look at you, you don't even have a girlfriend."

No, in the end you have to ask me, a big man, to come to the hospital to take care of you. Do you think you are ashamed?"

Okudera was very cheeky: "Junior brother, I knew you had feelings for me."

Kaede Kamio moved the chicken soup a little further, and Okudera smacked his lips, pouting angrily like a child who had been robbed of a lollipop.

"When you recover and are discharged from the hospital, go to the second department. The master and the others have made arrangements. Your body will not be able to handle serious cases for a while. It happens that there are many girls in the second department, and they are all pretty. You have nothing to do to hook up.

To hook up, hurry up and bring a sister-in-law back."

I don’t know if it’s because the chicken soup doesn’t taste good or because he has a wound in his mouth. Okudera’s expression is a little painful, “I don’t want to go to the second department. That kind of pension yamen is not a place for big men to show off their skills. I want to stay in the first department to deal with important matters.

case."

"Come on, you look so bad now. If you really run into a gangster, a steel nail will fall out of your body and a nut will loosen before they even take action. How embarrassing."

Okudera took another two sips of chicken soup, puffed out his cheeks, and said vaguely: "I don't care, you just don't want me anymore, you think I'm not good enough for my legs and feet, you're a bunch of white-eyed wolves..."

"Hey, Senior Brother, look at your virtue. Now you have learned how to kidnap with morality? Let me tell you, it's useless. We junior brothers have no morals and will not accept your kidnapping."

Okudera sighed for a while, "The tiger fell flat and was bullied by the dog. I lost all my senior brother's face..."

Kaede Kamio persuaded me nicely: "It's not that I don't want you anymore. You go to the second department to recuperate for a while. When your injuries are all healed and you can pass the physical test, I will transfer you back. Isn't this fair?"

Let the senior brother stay in the second department for a while to sharpen his skills. It is best to arrange a beauty trap to attract his soul. Then, even if he begs the senior brother to return to the hard-working first department, he is enjoying the gentle land.

I will definitely not agree.

Thinking so, Okudera still muttered, "Then it's settled. As soon as I recover from my injury, I will be transferred back. You can't lie to me..."

Suddenly, his voice softened, and the ward was so quiet that one could almost hear everyone's breathing. Okudera's face instantly turned pale, and blood poured out of his nose and splashed on the breathing mask.

"Nurse, nurse, come here quickly, my senior brother is vomiting blood, come here quickly!" Kamio Kaede shouted hurriedly.

The nurse rushed towards the hospital bed, first pressed the bedside alarm, and then drove everyone out of the room. When the doctor came in, the door was completely closed, and the curtain of the glass door was tightened from the inside, so nothing could be seen.

Something.

The master and disciples scratched their heads and heads anxiously outside the corridor. They sat for a while and then stood up. When they were tired from standing, they squatted on the ground again. I don't know how much time passed.

Seto Rei and Hino Satoshi went to the stairs to smoke together, while Kamio Kaede kept guarding the door of the ward, looking away.

He heard the sound of the pacemaker inside at the door. Soon, the ward door was opened by a nurse, and a group of people pushed Okudera's bed and rushed to the operating room again.

Seto Rei and Hino Satoshi in the stairwell hurriedly stamped out their cigarette butts and helped push the cart together.

Kaede Kamio and his master helped disperse the crowd in front to make way for a passage.

Soon, the doctors and nurses pushed Okudera into the operating room, the lights came on, Kamio Kaede sat weakly against the wall, the mottled gray wall against his equally gray complexion, and his hands are still trembling even now.

He was afraid that his senior brother would not be able to survive this experience.

Time passed by minute by minute, no one spoke, and no one left. It seemed to be an extremely long time.

Kamio Kaede stared at the ambulances coming in and out outside the hospital. From time to time, there were sounds of mourning from family members, and his mind went blank.

Finally, the lights in the operating room went out and the doctor walked out, sweating as if he had just fought a hard battle.

Kaede Kamio hurriedly got up from the ground and wanted to go over to ask about the situation, but felt his head was dizzy for a while and heard the master ask, "Doctor, how are the patients inside?"

The doctor took off his mask and said: "After so many years of practicing medicine, this is the first time I have seen such a tough-minded person. I don't know what kind of belief is supporting him to live. If he hadn't been hanging on like this all the time, he might have died before the operation was completed.

I couldn't survive it. Now, fortunately, the patient's surgery was successful."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to the doctor to thank him. Seto Rei and Hino Satoshi happily clapped their hands in celebration.

Kitamura's worries were relieved, and the growth rate of the white hair on his head seemed to have slowed down a lot. He finally took the time to take out his cell phone and glanced at the many unread messages on it.

After browsing, he said to the three of them: "Director Maori is having a meeting with me. Please keep an eye on Okudera and contact me in time if anything happens."

Kamio Kaede and the other three nodded in unison, and Kitamura Yuki added another sentence, "Also, half an hour ago, Takase Fumi was executed by the prison, and it should be over now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Kamio Kaede and the other two helped push Okudera's bed back to the ward. After confirming that the nurse no longer needed their help, they gently closed the door and walked to the corridor.

The three of them walked together in the small park of the hospital. The sun was shining high and the sky was clear and cloudless, indicating a beautiful day.

Not long ago, one life was saved from death by a doctor, while another died under the hanging rope of the gallows.

The summer wind blew on their faces, burning hot. Seto Rei and Hino Satoshi were smoking. For the first time, Kamio Kaede did not avoid the smell of second-hand smoke and asked for a cigarette from Hino Satoshi.

The wind was a bit strong, so Kamio Kaede lit the lighter several times before igniting it. After taking a puff of his lungs, he coughed uncomfortably, so he simply held it in his hand.

He raised his head and tried his best to look up into the sky, his ears catching every trace of movement he could hear.

It is said that after death, the soul will fall from the sky like a meteor, so it should be the same for Takase Fumi. At this moment, is his soul floating on a certain cloud, taking one last look at the human world?

Kaede Kamio couldn't help but think that half an hour ago, Okudera was being desperately rescued in the operating room, and Fumi Takase suddenly received a notice of execution from the prison.

At the moment he received the notice, did he feel fear, regret, or guilt for the sins he could not atone for in this life?

Because of his greed, he went astray and killed an innocent woman, a person who was about to become a mother. His evil deeds caused the child to lose his mother forever just after he was born. Only death can atone for his sins.

In a hidden dungeon, Takase Fumi was dragged out of the police car by the prison guards and handed over to the court police to supervise the death penalty. When he was walking the last few steps of his life leading to the gallows, was he reflecting on this?

It should be right. It is said that before being sent to the gallows, prisoners on death row in the Republic of China will be sent to a confession room first. The prisoners can use the last moment to write a will, deal with the inheritance, or shed tears in front of the Buddha statue and regret their past mistakes.

Then, in front of the Buddha statue, the prisoner will be handcuffed again by the bailiff, his head covered, and taken to the execution room until he steps up the high steps and stands on a strange pedal.

On this step leading to death, no matter how strong the psychological quality or the most vicious criminal is, his legs will become weak and it will be difficult for him to walk alone. He often needs two bailiffs to help him up.

Right above the pedal is the place where the rope is hung. The bailiff will put Takase Fumi's neck in the noose. The prisoner can feel the rough texture of the rope, and the pedal under his feet is shaky, as if it will loosen at any time.

After all this is done, three bailiffs will press the pedal switch of the gallows at the same time. One of the buttons is the real switch, which will instantly open the pedal.

Plop!

In just a moment, the prisoner's cervical spine will be torn off by the 2-meter-long rope under the action of his own gravity and inertia. The broken bones will get stuck in his throat, and he will eventually suffocate to death.

From now on, ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust, and the debts of the offender in this life and in the world are written off in one fell swoop, and no more debts are owed.

Compared with Mrs. Sonoko who died due to dystocia, Takase Fumi's death was probably the most pleasant.

Kamio Kaede gently raised the cigarette in his hand, and the smoke drifted away in the wind. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to see the hanging figure of Takase Fumi from the smoke.

What he saw was a pair of eyes that had lost all life and looked ashen. It was the saddest and ugliest look of a criminal who deserved to be cut to pieces. It was like crocodile tears.

It is said that the death row prisoners who come down from the gallows have their tongues hanging out and incontinence of their bowels and urine. It is terrible to see. This should also be the final destination of my wife Shanwu, right?

Kamio Kaede put out the cigarette that was burning to the end and flicked it into the trash can. In the end, it only made a soft bang and was mixed with other garbage, leaving no trace from his field of vision.

Takase Fumi, from now on, all your debts to this world will be settled once and for all. When you are reincarnated in the next life, remember to be a good person.

On July 31, the first year of Reiwa, Fumi Takase was escorted to the gallows from Katsushika Prison in Tokyo. His identity was verified, he was executed secretly, and he was killed on the spot.

The body was then cremated. Since no family members claimed it, Takase Fumi's ashes were finally sent to Muxiang Temple in Sumida District for proper placement.
