I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

Maori Tadashi nodded and said.

But it’s more like seeking death than suicide.

Eating these things really works up a good appetite.

"It is not certain whether it was suicide."

Don't jump to conclusions before you finish the inspection.

And, seriously speaking, there is a difference between seeking death and committing suicide.

Although, if the deceased really swallowed these things himself, it would be no different from suicide.

But if that's really the case, it would be more appropriate to say that he was courting death.

……

The autopsy investigation was completed and preliminary identification showed that the deceased Miharakami died of poisoning.

This was confirmed by extracting cardiac blood and subsequent examinations.

All signs indicate that this person died of poisoning from eating something he shouldn't have.

"I'm done."

I came to see the inspection report on Monday afternoon, and after that, Akitomo could only express his admiration.

Let's call the deceased Mr. Mihara, the bug eater, for now.

"That person really committed suicide?"

"It's hard to say. The police didn't find a suicide note, nor any signs of the room being broken into. Although it's highly likely that he swallowed the food himself, it's hard to say it was suicide..."

Mikoto Misumi's expression also looked a little helpless.

I was called to the crime scene, and the body I encountered this time was also very "personal".

But whether it was suicide or not cannot be completely confirmed, but it is certain that it was a case of seeking death.

"However, the Maori officer wanted to rule it a suicide, but even now, we still have to investigate it seriously."

Why eat bugs, pica?

It seems that this is the only explanation.

There are still people who seek death like this.

Almost everyone was thinking this, and today, the UDI Misumi team went out again to another death scene in Musashino.

Following the Misumi squad, they found a bottle containing insects in an apartment at the scene of death.

"Another bug?"

Chapter 231 Something (2/?)

Bugs. The bottle was full of bugs, alive.

"No, no, this is a really bad feeling!"

Maori Tadaharu at the scene sighed heavily.

It's such a coincidence. A few days ago, a person was found dead from eating insects, suspected to be suicide.

Now here comes another one...

"Isn't this just courting death?"

One can be said to be a case of stupidity seeking death, but a second one appears every few days, which is a problem.

The topic of suicide in Japan is not uncommon, and there are even suicide shrines.

Eating bugs to commit suicide?

It’s also a bit fresh.

Whether there is any connection between the two deceased persons or it is just a coincidence, this matter should be left to the police to investigate carefully.

The three people from UDI just need to do their job.

"Is there an instigator?"

Maori Tadashi on the other side muttered something, as if he felt that this matter was unusual.

It has been confirmed that the last deceased died of poisoning shock.

Here is another person who is suspected to have died of eating insects. It happened within the jurisdiction of Musashino Police Station, and Mori Tadashi is involved.

By the time we finished the work on site, it was already dusk.

The body will be sent to UDI the next day for a thorough autopsy.

"What on earth are these two people doing? It's impossible that they would think of eating insects for no reason? And eat them raw?"

Aki Tomoya muttered while sitting in the back.

Originally I felt that someone was just courting death, but now it seems that there is a possibility of suicide agreement, and there is also a possibility of being instigated by someone.

It was neither a simple suicide nor an accident, so a case can be filed.

After the case is filed, the investigation will naturally be the responsibility of the Musashino Police Station.

UDI only has forensic work.

"Serial murders, no, serial incitement to murder? Is that what Amai-kun wants to talk about?"

Tokai Lin Xizi said without turning her head.

Her and Misumi Mikoto's reactions were calmer. Although the two victims died in bizarre ways this time, they had seen even stranger deaths.

As for filing a case to investigate the truth, that is the police's business and has nothing to do with UDI.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that they are not really curious about whether there is any connection between the two deceased persons.

"Not necessarily. What if it's really a coincidence? It's just a coincidence that two people died in the same way..."

Aki Tomoya said as he wiped his glasses.

There is also the possibility of coincidence.

Two idiots who liked to eat insects were courting death and died of poisoning one after another.

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

"Having said all that, Amai-kun won't be coming to the institute tomorrow."

Misumi Mikoto sighed.

Akitomo will not come tomorrow, which means they have to either ask other people for help with the recorder's work or do it themselves.

"If you're really curious, why don't you come and see it in person tomorrow?"

"Unfortunately, it seems I won't have the chance to learn the truth!"

Although I am curious whether there is any connection between the two, I don't really want to find out.

He even said that he could borrow the report from the Sancheng class later, or ask the director about the police's investigation status.

and--

"Even if you can come tomorrow, it will be in the afternoon. By then, Doctor Sancheng, you will have finished the autopsy..."

"It seems like that, then we don't need you anymore."

"ruthless!"

……

I encountered strange cases at UDI, and I had no time to rest at university.

At the same time, Suzuya had one less thing to worry about after his father's lawsuit was settled out of court.

After he had time, he never stopped trying to win over the people around him.

Tomoya Aki's contacts with Suzuya are increasing.

The contact between them did not escape Takagi, one of the trio.

"Aki, you and Suzuya are getting along pretty well lately?"

Takagi asked secretly.

Many of the interactions between Tomoya Aki and Suzuya were seen by Takagi. There were even many times when Suzuya came to find Tomoya Aki in front of Takagi as if on purpose.

"so so."

"That's not normal. Your relationship with that guy..."

Takagi was a little bit skeptical about Tomoya Aki's answer.

Recently, he felt that the relationship between Tomoya Aki and Suzuya was getting better and better.

This is not good news for him.

You know, he really hates Suzuya.

Takagi felt unhappy when he saw his friend getting close to Suzuya.

"Mashima-kun and Suzuya-kun have a similar relationship."

Aki Tomoya replied helplessly.

If we talk about a good relationship, his relationship with Suzuya is only average now.

Moreover, in the trio, besides him, the other person, Majima, has a similar relationship with Suzuya.

The only ones whose relationship can really be said to be bad are Takagi and Suzuya.

When Takagi heard Aki Tomoya mention Majima, his expression changed. He curled his lips and said, "I advise you to keep a distance from Suzuya."

"…Everyone can take what they need."

Keep a good distance, even without Takagi's reminder, Aki Tomoya knew what to do.

He didn't dislike Suzuya, but Suzuya himself was a troublesome character.

How should I put it? Recently, when I was in contact with Suzuya, I could easily feel that the other person was exuding a sense of wanting to be used by him.

It’s too early. It happened when he was in college. I don’t know what will happen to this person in the future.

In the third grade class of the University of Science, everyone has his own specialty. Their classmate, No. 1 Suzuya, is a troublesome guy who thinks he is a king.

Not annoying, but annoying.

"An Yi...you are not an easy person to deal with!"

"Your statement makes me feel ashamed."

Hearing Takagi's description, Amaki Tomoya burst out laughing.

He felt that he did nothing wrong. He tried his best to make some friends and not make any enemies. At least here, everyone was in the same class and there was no question of who was the enemy.

However, Takagi is a little special. He is a young man from Kyoto. He is not rebellious, but if he hates someone, he can express it confidently.

Just like how he treated Suzuya.

"Aki, you're free next month, would you like to go to Kyoto with me?"

At this time, Takagi suddenly put his arm around Tomoya Aki's shoulders and whispered.

"What are you planning again?"

He turned and looked at Takagi in confusion.

Why go to Kyoto?

and--

"Have you forgotten what you said?"

Before I graduate from medical school, I want to die in Tokyo!

This is what Takagi said himself.

This guy had said at the beginning that he would never return to his hometown Kyoto in the next six years!
