I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

What a forensic doctor has to do is basically to dissect the body, determine the cause of death, and provide the police with scientific analysis and clues that can help solve the case.

But the forensic scientists at UDI are a bit strange, because some of them seem to even have to do the investigation.

"Kube-kun, are you investigating again?"

Tomoya Aki knew that the Misumi team was investigating the case.

Not only will she be a forensic doctor, it seems that Misaki Mikoto will also make a cameo appearance as a detective.

"Hey, hey, hey! What?!"

Kube Rokuro, who was looking at his cell phone, was startled and didn't hear what Akitomo Tomo was saying at all.

The latter looked at Kube Rokuro strangely, his eyes passing inconspicuously across the other's mobile phone screen.

"Charcoal burning suicide, is that the case reported earlier?"

Tomoya Aki thought that Rokuro Kube was reading a report on a previous case, but he never imagined that the news on Rokuro Kube's mobile phone was from decades ago.

Kube Rokuro nodded and then shook his head, and his reaction made Aki Tomoya confused.

At the same time, Akitomo saw some guilt in the other person's eyes.

It's really strange. I don't know what this guy is feeling guilty about.

"Are you OK?"

Chapter 293 Curiosity kills the cat (1/?)

Four people agreed to commit suicide through the website. This was the statement before the real cause of death of the unidentified female corpse was confirmed.

As for the other three deceased, according to the police investigation, their personal circumstances were either terminal illness, unemployment, divorce, and full of despair in life.

The cause of their death was clear: carbon monoxide poisoning.

As for the last unidentified female corpse, although it appeared that she died of carbon monoxide poisoning and her body surface was orange-red, her real cause of death was freezing to death.

A note was found in his stomach, undoubtedly a message left before his death.

There is a strong possibility of murder.

The other three had agreed to commit suicide through a website, but the remaining woman was likely murdered and disguised as a charcoal-burning suicide like the others.

The person who wanted to commit suicide dragged others into the process. The first few victims looked quite desperate when they were alive, but it is really despicable that they dragged innocent people into the process.

Hisabe Rokuro is in the Misumi team and has assisted in the investigation of several suspicious cases. It is not known whether this "meddling" was influenced by Misumi Mikoto or he himself is interested in this kind of thing.

However, this boy, who took the exam three times before being admitted to a third-rate medical university, is feeling a little strange now.

"No, nothing, I was just thinking about something..."

Kube Rokuro put the phone screen back into his pocket, speaking a little vaguely.

What he just saw was not a report about the current case, but a piece of news from decades ago that someone had given him earlier.

However, he couldn't directly tell Tomoya Aki who was standing next to him that the news he was watching was about Misumi Mikoto.

"Aki-kun, do you know Dr. Mitsumi?"

At this moment, Hisabe Rokuro asked tentatively.

Aki Tomoya has been in UDI longer than him, and I don't know if he knows about Misumi Mikoto's past.

However, when Kube Rokuro asked this question now, Aki Tomoya frowned.

"From what I know, Dr. Sancheng is a very good forensic scientist."

Is that all?

It seems that I don’t know much...

Kube Rokuro pushed his glasses and kept silent at this time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Aki Tomoya felt more and more puzzled, not understanding what the other party was worried about.

"Are you curious about Dr. Mitsusumi?"

Aki Tomoya asked.

Unlike him, who is also a medical student and works part-time here, it seems that Kube Rokuro's mind is not on these things.

To put it nicely, it means letting things take their own course. To put it bluntly, this person may not have thought clearly about why he studied medicine or why he came here to work part-time.

At least working here, Akitomo doesn't have much time to think about other people's affairs.

"It's just so-so..."

As if his secrets had been revealed, Kube Rokuro replied awkwardly.

Is he going to say that he even knew that Mikoto Misumi's former surname was Amemiya, that her family suffered a sudden change when she was a child, and that her biological parents and younger brother were killed by her mother?

To be honest, after being told that, Kube Rokuro felt complicated.

Such a powerful person has such a past.

"...Sometimes I am also curious about Dr. Zhongtang."

Aki Tomoya said this.

There's nothing wrong with being curious about other people's affairs, but don't be too smart and do anything stupid.

Anyway, according to previous experience, Zhongtang is a guy with bad words, but he is not as unkind as he looks.

As to why the big guy was lying on the dissecting table and what his past was, Aki Tomoya was curious. He asked carefully a few times, but he got nothing.

Since the other party was unwilling to talk, he didn't plan to continue asking, or even investigate it himself.

If others don't say anything, but you still want to investigate their past, aren't you just being idle?

"Speaking of Dr. Zhongtang, I really admire you for being able to get along with that man!"

As if he had found an opportunity to change the subject, Hisabe Rokuro immediately shifted the topic to the Nakadō family.

Kube Rokuro had heard about the Nakadō clan's affairs at UDI from Makoto Sakamoto.

That person has changed many partners, including the current one, Makoto Sakamoto, and he is full of resentment.

In Kube Rokuro's imagination, it must be very hard to be with such a person.

At least he had heard a lot of complaints from Makoto Sakamoto.

On the contrary, Tomoya Aki, who also works part-time at UDI, has never said anything about the Nakadō system.

It seemed as if the oppression of the Nakadō faction was only directed at Makoto Sakamoto.

In fact, it is not wrong to say so. The Nakadō clan has little chance to express any dissatisfaction with Aki Tomoya. Even if they can't help but say a few words like bastard sometimes, Aki Tomoya will ignore them.

"When you get a chance, you'll find out that Doctor Zhongtang isn't that scary."

Kube Rokuro was not surprised by what Aki Tomoya said.

From the moment he first came to UDI, Hisabe Rokuro knew that this person was the one being fought over by the Nakadō class and the Misumi class.

If you think about it carefully, it's only natural.

Unlike him, who is a half-baked person, Akitomo is also a third-year student at the University of Tokyo, works part-time at UDI, and knows more about forensic medicine than him.

Kube Rokuro spent a lot of time at UDI, but in his observation, the recorder of another class was happy to follow the clinical examination technicians in and out of the laboratory to do those pathological slice studies which he thought were a bit boring.

Yes, it is boring. He is a person who always says that he wants to develop in the direction of clinical medicine in the future, but in his heart he finds such things boring.

"Compared to Amami-kun, what on earth am I doing here?"

Kube Rokuro couldn't help but ask himself this question.

He applied for a leave of absence and left a place full of medical students like him. But at UDI, he met people from the third department of science or the medical department, which was the most difficult to enter in Japan, which slightly hurt his dignity.

His father is a professor at the National Medical University, and his brothers are all doctors. It can be said that they are exactly the same as the people from medical families that Tomoya Aki knows.

But compared to the people that Aki Tomoya knew, Kube Rokuro was very different. This person had no idea why he studied medicine.

Those people in the Science 3 class are all elites among elites. They are prouder than anyone else and think more clearly than anyone else.

"Kube-kun, can I take the liberty of saying something?"

Tomoya Aki looked at the silent Hisabe Rokuro, as if he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't say something.

His expression made it impossible for Kube Rokuro to refuse, so he could only nod and say, "Please."

"I've never seen such a confused look on someone's face!"

After Aki Tomoya said this, he felt relieved all of a sudden.

In fact, he wanted to say that if he had not come into contact with people like Hisabe Rokuro, he almost thought that all medical students were the same as those in the third grade of science!

Chapter 294 Workaholic (2/?)

What kind of person is the third type of person? The pride that is retained inside or revealed on the outside.

Tomoya Aki really has no intention of looking down on other universities' medical departments or other medical schools.

Among the national universities, the University of Tokyo is ranked first, followed by the University of Tokyo, Osaka University, and Kyushu University.

Among the private schools, Keio University and Tokyo Jikekai University are at the forefront.

Forgive me for saying that after entering the University of Tokyo, Tomoya Aki was somewhat influenced by the environment and subtly felt what a medical student like him would be like.

But now after seeing Hisabe Rokuro, he seemed to understand a little bit how the chain of contempt in medical universities or medical departments was formed.

If you want to go to medical school after three years of exams, your family must be well-off.

But entering the medical department is just like idling away the time, and I'm sick!

Of course, it seems that Kube Rokuro doesn't really intend to just live a lazy life, he is just more confused than others.

But this is just like muddling through his days, including at UDI, where he just follows the routine like an old man without any dreams at all.

That's right. Even if you are a person without dreams, you may live a better life than most people in the future.

To put it bluntly, there is no pressure.

Tomoya Aki did not feel any sense of superiority towards Rokuro Kube, he was just curious about what this man was thinking.

"How old are you now, Kube-kun?"

"twenty one."

Almost twenty-two.

If he had not taken the exam three times, he and Akitomo would not be of the same generation.

"I don't think so. You look like someone who is about to retire. You look like a stagnant body, without any passion at all."

Aki Tomoya shook his head and couldn't help but tease.

Among the people he knew, Takagi was the most passionate. He was not honest at heart and would definitely show his passionate soul when given the opportunity.

As calm as Kato Megumi is, she doesn't fight or compete, and looks like she's accepting the fate. At least she has a dream and won't be perfunctory about it. It is because she accepts the fate that she is steady in everything she does.

Where is Kakube Rokuro?

He dropped out of college in his first year. Firstly, people envied him for having such capital, and secondly, he was really a guy who was about to become a slacker.

I work as a recorder at UDI, but that’s just what I do.

Sometimes, when you express some inaccurate opinions, people will sigh that he could still be saved, but then they will immediately go back to the previous second.

Although he keeps talking about developing clinical medicine, it does not seem that when he faces the corpses at UDI, he respects them as cadaver teachers.

Of course, Akitomo couldn't use his own standards to demand others.

It's just that Kube Rokuro is like this, and it's really hard to understand what he wants...

And Kube Rokuro is definitely a good-tempered person. Fortunately, he didn't think too much about what Aki Tomoya said, wondering if this was a mockery from the elites of the University of Tokyo?

On the contrary, it was because of Aki Tomoya's words that Kube Rokuro began to think carefully.

He was like a person who fell into the water, unable to find the direction. He could only keep treading water, repeating such mechanical movements to avoid having his head submerged in the water and drowning.

But he had not yet tried to determine the direction of the shore. If he continued like this, he would surely drown when his strength ran out.

"Oh, my apologies."
