I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Kato Megumi nodded upon hearing this, and then exclaimed, "Aki-kun is really amazing. He made that senior happy with ease."

"It's just that we had different experiences. It just so happens that the senior student wanted to write something more profound."

Aki Tomoya believes it's simply a matter of specialization.

He happened to be working part-time at UDI, so he had a lot of experience with cases and such.

Kato Megumi's work is primarily focused on legal matters and various lawsuits, so her understanding of the situation is somewhat one-sided.

He's handled cases that are even more outrageous than those in novels.

Is there anything else that can't be said?

"Wow, that sounds like something a University of Tokyo student would say. No, Aki-kun is a University of Tokyo student."

Kato Megumi's flattery made Aki Tomoya quite uncomfortable, to be honest.

Her flattery, delivered in a monotone tone, was quite embarrassing.

Because Kato Megumi herself is not good at flattery.

"Kato-kun, please stop for a moment. I'm not used to your flattery!"

Aki Tomoya quickly stopped Kato Megumi.

If the other party continues to flatter me, this sense of incongruity will really explode.

Kato Megumi was speechless. She was clearly speaking from the heart, haha...

I spent the afternoon with Megumi Kato in the library, but we didn't stay long. We just chatted about what had been going on in our lives recently.

We didn't chat for long, only about an hour and a half, before we went home.

……

After returning home, Aki Tomoya thought about the case of dismembering a body to extract poison and then contacted Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Senior writer, would you like to learn more about the details of the case now?"

First, ask if the other person is free.

Let's resolve this matter as soon as possible and get it over with quickly.

They didn't keep Aki Tomoya waiting long before replying to his message.

"Let's not use Line, it's better to speak. I'll write it down here."

Kasumigaoka Utaha is already prepared.

I've been waiting for Aki Tomoya to be available, but he's never free.

She was quite interested in this case.

Especially since I heard it's related to a club.

This has a lot of room for expansion; if conceived well, it could be a good story.

Just as Kato Megumi told Aki Tomoya, her previous book, "Suspect TAKI," sold quite well, especially since Eriri converted a wave of otaku fans into her on the day of its release.

According to Megumi Kato, the transformation went quite smoothly.

Therefore, it is especially important to continue creating new works.

Kasumigaoka Utaha has recently been working on a new book, hoping to finish it by the second half of the year and release it smoothly.

"can."

Aki Tomoya replied.

There's no problem with verbal explanations; it's much more convenient than typing them out bit by bit.

Aki Tomoya still remembers the details of that dismemberment case involving dissecting a body to extract poison very clearly, because it left a deep impression on him.

Regarding dismemberment cases, Aki Tomoya remembers the first one he encountered most clearly: an elderly man with cancer was instigated to commit suicide, and then came this case of dismemberment to extract poison from the body.

After replying, Aki Tomo took the initiative to call Kasumigaoka Utaha's cell phone, as she still had it in her contacts.

"Good afternoon, Kasumigaoka-senpai."

Chapter 310 Spare TAKI (4/10)

Good afternoon, Aki-kun.

Kasumigaoka Utaha greeted him calmly.

She found in him the source of inspiration she craved.

She really wanted to use this case as a basis to write a good story.

"I can't wait to hear you talk about this case of dismembering a body to extract poison."

It's like Ning is digging for treasure; at this moment, there's a strong sense of anticipation.

Aki Tomoya was somewhat surprised by Kasumigaoka Utaha's curiosity about this case.

It seems the other party really intends to use this case to create a new book.

"The case is as follows: One day, two plastic bags buried in the bushes in the mountains were found, containing body parts. There were a large number of flies, maggots, a small number of fly pupae, and various black beetles around them."

First, we need to capture as many details as possible of the situation on-site to make Kasumigaoka Utaha's writing more realistic.

"The upper body remains are covered with piles of long black hair, and there are scattered jawbones, vertebrae, and teeth in the pile of stones. There is a skeletonized skull on the mountain road below the scene."

Tomoya Aki still remembers the photos from the scene.

There is already a skeletonized body, but it is not the case of the skeletonized body with burn marks, but another case.

The two cases have similarities, such as the skeletonization and the disposal of the body.

However, this case is related to a triad.

The subsequent autopsy revealed something very sensitive.

"...Most of the skull is ossified, with no fractures observed. Except for six molars and the right upper incisor, all other teeth are missing from the upper alveolar bone. Fourteen teeth are missing from the lower alveolar bone...Both condyles show varying degrees of bone loss, with rough fracture ends; no other fractures are observed..."

Before contacting Kasumigaoka Utaha, Aki Tomoya had already recalled all the details, recounting the information he remembered to her in its entirety.

Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha, on the other end of the phone, turned on speakerphone and kept recording what Aki Tomoya said into a document on her laptop.

"Ten vertebrae were found at the scene, ranging from the atlas to the third thoracic vertebra. Irregular bone defects were observed in the cervical sixth vertebra, the three thoracic vertebrae, and their transverse processes. No obvious cutting marks were found on any of the vertebrae..."

Aki Tomoya told Kasumigaoka Utaha everything he knew about the various characteristics of the upper body parts and the lower body parts.

As Aki Tomoya recounted the events, Kasumigaoka Utaha mentally simulated the scene at that moment.

To be honest, when Kasumigaoka Utaha imagined the corresponding scene in her mind after such a detailed description of the characteristics of the dismembered body parts, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

This level of disgust is already quite disgusting. Kasumigaoka Utaha can hardly imagine how Aki Tomoya would have reacted after witnessing it firsthand.

She was curious, but wisely refrained from interrupting Aki Tomoya at this moment.

After explaining the details of the lower half of the body parts, Aki Tomoya then told Kasumigaoka Utaha the measured height and age.

"Through forensic autopsy and DNA testing, as well as examination of teeth and pubic angle, it was deduced that the deceased was male, approximately twenty years old. Based on the length of the humerus, the length of the right foot, the length of the lower limb, and the length and waist circumference of the jeans found at the scene, it was analyzed that his height should be around 1.65 meters, with a medium to thin build."

Aki Tomoya paused briefly here, giving Kasumigaoka Utaha time to take notes.

"...The measurement methods and standards can all be found online, so I won't go into details."

Since some things can be found out, Aki Tomoya doesn't intend to go into detail again.

He will also explain the necessary information and what needs to be said.

"The toxicology test on the remaining body parts did not detect any common poisons. However, we found something interesting in the intestines. This person was probably a henchman who transported goods for the gang. The goods broke inside, and then he was unlucky."

Therefore, doing such things harms both oneself and others, and deserves divine retribution.

This person died, and Aki Tomoya felt absolutely no sympathy for him; he deserved to die!

"This is consistent with the subsequent investigation. No other fatal mechanical injuries were found. The most likely cause of death was poisoning from the rupture and leakage. Based on the degree of decomposition of the body and the presence of flies and maggots, the time of death was estimated to be about two weeks ago."

With so much information, the case can be roughly analyzed.

The henchman who transported goods for others had his internal organs ruptured, so the only option was to dissect the body to extract the poison, then dismember and dispose of the body.

This case involved the discovery of that substance within the remaining colon tissue during an abdominal cavity cleanup. Combined with other factors, the cause of death was then analyzed.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, it would be best if you changed the background when you wrote it. This matter is a bit special, and there are some things I can't tell you..."

The case was solved, but only a few scapegoats were caught, and there wasn't much media coverage; it seemed like the investigation was just dropped.

Those who went in were incredibly stubborn.

The police were completely helpless.

"...You really do encounter all sorts of things where you are!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed.

As a forensic institution that deals directly with death, they are commissioned by the National Police Agency and frequently visit various crime scenes or are commissioned to conduct autopsies.

You can encounter all sorts of dead people there.

This was just one case that left a deep impression on Aki Tomoya.
