I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

The father of the deceased was furious, his voice trembling, and his eyes full of grief and indignation.

The news of his son's death made the father extremely sad, and he also felt deeply guilty towards other people who might have been innocently burned to death because of his son.

"Mr. Machida, we are not sure whether this is revenge killing by a society organization. Please calm down."

Akitomo also reminded from the side.

The father of the deceased is now filled with grief and anger. The tragedy of an old man losing a young man, as well as the possibility that other innocent people may be implicated, have almost overwhelmed the two of them.

Before the results come out, Tomoya Aki's words can only be regarded as consolation, and he just hopes that the two can calm down.

The father of the deceased Machida Saburo trembled, his eyes widened, staring at his son's body in a daze.

They are father and son, but at this moment they can only use this silent way to carry out their final "communication".

Compared with the deceased's father's strength at the moment, the deceased's mother is more agitated and unwilling to accept this fact.

But the person lying there at this moment was their son, and this fact could not be changed now.

Akitomo just hopes that something like what happened to Konoshima Watari will never happen again.

Before the hidden truth comes to light, the deceased will have to experience another social death, which will put more pressure on the living.

The fire, which killed ten people, had already been widely reported.

If it was revealed at this time that the fire might be a case of gang vendetta, it would be hard to imagine what the media, which smelled blood, would do.

If Machida Saburo is charged with the crime of killing other people, I wonder how much criticism he will receive.

At that time, the people who would bear the pressure would naturally be his parents who would remain in the world.

In the speechless environment, Aki Tomoya sighed slightly in his heart.

After Machida Saburo's parents left, he subconsciously wanted to find Hisabe Rokuro and warn him again not to do anything that would cause trouble for everyone.

But when he returned to the office, he found that the man had become a detective to investigate the case.

In this regard, Aki Tomoya could only hope that Kube Rokuro had listened to what he had said before and would stop there.

"An Yi-kun, you seem to be worried about something?"

Mikoto Misumi noticed that something was wrong with Tomoya Aki at the moment and couldn't help but ask a question.

From the moment the gunshot wound was confirmed, to the identity of the deceased, to the deceased's parents coming to claim the body, Aki Tomoya seemed to be worried about something.

"…I'm just worried that someone might do something stupid."

Tomoya Aki hesitated for a moment, and finally said this to Misumi Mikoto.

The latter was a little confused and was wondering who the someone that Aki Tomoya was talking about was.

She thought about it and felt that the most worrying person in the entire UDI seemed to be Zhongtang.

"Ah, you also know about Dr. Zhongtang?"

Mikoto Misumi's words stunned Tomoya Aki.

He raised his eyebrows and laughed a little in his heart. God knows how the other party associated it with the Zhongtang faction.

But it can also be seen that Misaki Mikoto never thought that there would be a traitor in her anatomy class.

However, Tomoya Aki did not intend to reveal the matter of Hisabe Rokuro. Firstly, he had no evidence, and secondly, he wanted to show some mercy.

"I have heard a little about Doctor Zhongtang's affairs. He is indeed a person who can do irreparable things if he is not careful."

It was also Misaki Mikoto who mentioned this, and Aki Tomoya thought of Suzuki, the man who went to jail and lost everything in order to avenge his lover.

Chapter 347 Will Transform into a Devil (2/4)

It is a crime of intentional injury, the person was caught red-handed, the evidence is solid, and there are eyewitnesses.

The distorted values ​​in the case are even more terrifying.

Akitomo was not referring to revenge, but rather that he was harming others because he was unfortunate.

That kind of thought is simply terrible.

"Doctor Nakadashi has been searching for clues and will not stop until he finds the murderer. Something like what happened to Mr. Suzuki must not happen again. We have already missed it once."

Mikoto Misumi still blames herself for not being able to stop Suzuki.

Similarly, there is still some remnant of the anger towards the Zhongtang clique’s actions.

She had decided to help the Nakadō Clan with the investigation, as Suzuki’s situation could have been salvaged, and that added another tragedy to the tragedy.

As someone who can still handle things rationally, Misaki Mikoto feels the need to stop someone who may be losing their mind from doing something irreparable.

It sounds cool to become a devil just to kill, but no one wants to send a good person to prison.

"Doctor Zhongtang is really lucky..."

Aki Tomoya sighed.

It’s a pity that I don’t know whether Zhongtang will appreciate it.

Because of that incident, Tomoya Aki's perception of the Nakadō style changed slightly.

It's not that I have any bad impression, it's just...

tsk...

Tomoya Aki didn't know what to say. Maybe it was because he knew that Suzuki was in prison, and as one of the people involved, he was unable to stop that person, and he felt similar shame as Misumi Mikoto.

"It seems that An Yi-kun has a lot of opinions about Doctor Nakadashi."

"Maybe it's because I think of that forensic scientist who indirectly caused a good man to go to jail."

Suzuki couldn't be stopped and ended up doing something that couldn't be undone.

However, Nakadō, who had the same experience as Suzuki, had a group of people around him who would help him regain his sanity before he did the same thing and would not let him turn into a devil.

Although he was very unhappy, Akitomo had to admit that he would probably have no choice but to stop it when the time came.

Having witnessed one misfortune, we cannot sit idly by and watch the next one happen.

Besides, his opinion on the Zhongtang faction was limited to this.

In other aspects, there are many faults to be found, but they are not directed at Tomoya Aki. It is a headache for Makoto Sakamoto who is in the same anatomy class.

"I understand how you feel, but don't worry about it."

Mikoto Misumi said that she could understand Tomoya Aki's feelings.

At the beginning, she was very angry about that incident and demanded that Zhongtang Xi resign.

But at this point, there is not much point in worrying about such things.

"Ami-kun, do you have time later?"

Director Yasuo Kamikura walked into the office and asked.

"Yes, what's the matter, Chief?"

"Please come with me to do something, and then you can go back directly."

Tomoya Aki nodded, then went to the locker room to change into casual clothes. After getting his things, he left the institute with the director.

"An Yi-kun, there's something I don't know how to say. Do you think there's anything strange going on in the institute recently?"

While on the way, the director suddenly asked a question.

He seemed to be hinting at something, saying that some things were hard to say out loud.

Amano Tomoya pushed his glasses up. He carefully looked at the director's expression and gradually understood what the director was talking about.

The strange things the other party was referring to were probably related to the fact that in the past period of time, the outside media seemed to have clairvoyance and super hearing, and had detailed reports on all cases related to UDI.

After all, he had occasionally heard the director complain about this matter.

"Excuse me, does the director have any suspicions in his mind?"

"It seems that Amiya-kun knows what I'm asking, but if I were to suspect anyone, I wouldn't want to suspect anyone in the institute, but you've been here for so long, and you know the situation in our institute."

The director looked helpless. Besides the recent headache caused by the fire case, he was also troubled by the leak of the case.

UDI also assisted in the investigation of this fire. Although it is calm outside now, there is no guarantee that the same thing will not happen again in the future.

"Forget it. It's not good to let Amami-kun say who the suspicious person is. I hope this situation will stop here."

The director interrupted Aki Tomoya before he could speak.

The research institute is his hard work, and it is a rare fate that we can get together. After being together for so long, when talking about such things, everyone will inevitably feel a thorn in their heart.

He will investigate this matter, but he also hopes that the situation will really stop here. After all, what people value most is feelings, so he should keep that little bit of kindness if possible.

But at the same time, Yasuo Kamikura is responsible for the entire research institute.

This is his hard work and it shouldn't be ruined because of something like this.

"I hope so."

Aki Tomoya noticed the director's complicated mood at the moment.

There are problems among the people in the institute, but they all trust each other. As the director, he is very humble and approachable in his daily life.

He is a sentimental person, and he is sentimental towards everyone in the institute.

Now compared to the funding issue, this matter is even more troubling to him.

The director obviously already had someone he suspected in his mind, and Aki Tomoya was unwilling to say more at this time because the other party seemed to be in no mood to think about this matter anymore.

Talking more will only cause more trouble.

While feeling sorry for the director, Aki Tomoya was also praying in his heart that Kube Rokuro would not do anything stupid again.

The director is a very good man, but he has almost done his best.

Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

On the small road outside the house, Akitomo saw that the yard was full of garbage bags, some of which had even fallen out of the yard and onto the road.

The director picked up the garbage bag on the road and put it back in the yard.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to help throw away the garbage, but he simply can’t tell which is which. Thanks to Neon’s complicated garbage sorting management, unsorted garbage cannot be thrown away in Neon.

An old man lives here alone. According to the director, his wife had an argument with him one day and fell on the way out, dying of heart failure.

Although the identity could be confirmed, the old man refused to claim it, so his wife's ashes were kept in UDI.

The director insisted on persuading the old man day after day, and even called him his shogi master.

"We brought some new young people today!"

"I brought Kube-kun here last time."

The old man had already set up the chessboard and was waiting for Director Yasuo Kamikura to take his seat.

At this moment, Aki Tomoya was looking at the surroundings filled with garbage bags in a daze.

Chapter 348 Send Her Back (3/4)

This messy house hasn't been cleaned for who knows how long.

The yard is piled high with garbage bags, looking like a recycling station, making one wonder if people can really live here.

"I wish I could beat you today."

"Don't be silly, it's your turn."

The director and the old man continued playing shogi as usual.

It seems that if he can win the game of chess, he can convince the old man to claim his wife's ashes.

Aki Tomoya remembered that in that warehouse, there were not only the old man's wife, but also many unidentified dead people who had not been claimed.

However, it is rare that the identity of the deceased has been confirmed but the immediate family members refuse to claim the body.

"Oh, this is such a headache, can Amami-kun give me some help?"

"What are you doing? You can't ask for help!"
