I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

He is not the only one who has been worried recently.

"No, I just have a feeling that you are different from others..."

"Unlike others, haha... When you say that, aren't you saying that I'm not thinking about work and am being lazy?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!"

Hisabe Rokuro shook his head, fearing that Aki Tomoya had misunderstood something.

The latter smiled and signaled him not to be so nervous.

"Besides thinking about the case, I was probably thinking about how the murderer would be cut into pieces if he was caught by Dr. Zhongtang, right?"

As Aki Tomoya was talking, he began to describe a scene to Hisabe Rokuro.

Inside the dark hut, there was a simple dissecting table. The murderer was placed on the table and dissected alive. The feeling was so sour.

"..."

"I was just kidding. Actually, I might leave UDI. I'm only telling you this. Don't tell anyone else."

Aki Tomoya smiled, and then said something that surprised Kube Rokuro even more.

He covered his mouth and almost shouted out, then looked at Aki Tomoya with disbelief.

Everything is fine, why do you want to leave?

"Don't get excited. Even if I'm leaving, it will be at the end of the year. Starting next year, I will spend more time on my studies. I really can't continue working part-time outside. I have other things to do in college."

Tomoya Aki explained to Hisabe Rokuro in a low voice.

The other person's expression was somewhat complicated.

After knowing that Aki Tomoya would only stay here for more than half a year, Kube Rokuro knew very well what everyone's reaction would be if he told others about this.

"It's time. I'm off work. I have something to do."

Aki Tomoya noticed the time, picked up the magazine on the table, and said goodbye to the people in the office.

After he left the institute, he came alone to the building where the body was found.

Taking out the magazine that had published the photos of the police carrying out the bodies from his backpack, Aki Tomoya compared them and roughly found the angle from which the photos could have been taken at that time.

In the corridor of the building opposite.

After finding the place where the photo might have been taken, Aki Tomoya looked carefully at the opposite side again.

"The body was found over there, and the fire was over there. If there hadn't been a fire, the house would have been easily visible from this location."

It is simply the best observation and surveillance angle.

I looked again at the time the report was published, which was after the fire case was concluded.

Among the photos posted were those of the police entering the scene and the subsequent process of carrying the body out.

It was as if they knew in advance that a case would happen here and arrived here before the people from Nishi Musashino Police Station.

What made Akito Tomoya feel even more coincidental was that the angle was so perfect that he could see both the entrance downstairs and the room where the body was found perfectly.

"This magazine company, I remember it was the previous launch of Jiubu, right?"

I don’t know if this is a coincidence.

Of course, Akitomo did not say that it was Hisabe Rokuro who leaked the information. The research institute received the notification later and went to the scene to see the body. The person who took the photo was probably already at this location.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Leaning against the wall, he looked towards the room where the body was found, and once again sighed in his heart that this was a very good location.

Chapter 355 Someone with Information (Second update, reply to the mouse pad in between posts, the first person to get it)

After the fire, the entire building and its surroundings were closed for repairs.

The body was discovered by repair workers who were checking room by room for safety hazards after the fire investigation was completed.

The most important thing is that the door of the room was not closed and you could just push it gently to get in.

Recall this process.

After the case of the fire was concluded, the Fire Department, the National Police Department and the Research Institute all gave a complete explanation, and there was no other information to be dug up.

For the time being, Aki Tomoya was unable to confirm whether the reporter who took the photo followed here or was here in advance.

It’s just that the reporter was really good. He found a place that was not easy to be discovered, and the angle was also very good.

Being able to observe the entrance below, if there is no obstruction from the building opposite, one should be able to perfectly observe the room where the body was found.

After confirming where the person who took the photo took it, Aki Tomoya thought that the focus should still be on that room.

What is that room used for and who owns it?

And the last range of activities of the deceased before his death.

It's a pity that he is not a policeman. If there is a police system, it would take some time to check these things, but it would not be difficult.

"Editor: Shishido Riichi."

I don’t know if Kube Rokuro knows this person.

Maybe this person has some information.

……

When he arrived at UDI two days later, Aki Tomoya specifically asked Hisabe Rokuro if he knew a man named Shishido Riichi.

Kube Rokuro acted a little unnatural and asked in a low voice: "I know, but why?"

Why does he know Shishido Riichi?

Hisabe Rokuro got to know Shishido Riichi because of Suetsugu Kosuke.

In the past, Kosuke Suetsugu was his superior, and Riichi Shishido was also a freelance reporter for the magazine.

And last night, Kube Rokuro met with Suetsugu Kosuke again, but it was not a transaction, they just drank some wine, and the other party also had something to give him.

"Didn't the person who wrote this report clearly state it here?"

Shishido Riichi.

Tomoya Aki specifically pointed it out to Hisabe Rokuro.

"……What's up with him?"

"I just want to ask him if he has any information. Since I can't pry the police out of their mouths, I'll try here. I've read all of Shishido Riichi's articles in the past two days, and he's also following up on this serial murder case!"

When Tomoya Aki returned that day, he found all the reports that Riichi Shishido had previously published.

Then I was surprised to find that this Shishido Riichi had previously reported other related murder cases besides this one, and the murderer had always been a mystery.

This made him think even more that Shishido Riichi might know something.

After knowing that this person was also following up on this serial murder case, what might have been a coincidence no longer seemed like a coincidence.

Only this man knew what he had been waiting for in the building opposite where the body was found.

Whether he was waiting for the police to find the body and then take the opportunity to take pictures, Akitomo felt that this was no longer the point.

But what else does this person know.

"Are you going to look for this person?"

Hisabe Rokuro asked.

When he thought of Shishido Riichi, he couldn't help but look at Nakadō Kei who was also in the office.

If that person knew about this, he would probably be very excited.

But he didn't dare say that he knew Shishido Riichi.

The only thing about the past that can be talked about openly is what happened with Tomoya Aki.

"I just want to ask if this person has any more information. Sometimes, these paparazzi are more powerful than the police."

If Shishido Riichi has any information, it should be helpful in the investigation of the case.

But the person who knows Shishido Riichi now is Kube Rokuro. If I really want to find this person, I still have to ask Kube Rokuro to act as a connective tissue.

"I can go look for this person."

"Then please."

He had no objection to letting Hisabe Rokuro find Shishido Riichi.

And there was something he didn't know whether he should tell.

Last night, when he went to meet Kosuke Suetsugu, Riichi Shishido entrusted Kosuke Suetsugu to give him something.

It's said to be some explosive news.

It did look like it was related to the case, but apart from a few photos and a painting of a pink hippo, there wasn't much else to see.

"By the way, if you want to go find Shishido Riichi, remember to speak less in front of him. In front of such a person, you must know what to say and what not to say."

At the same time, Akitomo also gave a reminder.

Although he thought that Shishido Riichi might have information, Aki Tomoya still remembered that this person was a freelance journalist and his magazine had done a lot of reports on UDI.

At least Tomoya Aki had a very bad impression of this person and the magazine he worked for.

"Should I tell Dr. Zhongtang about this?"

"What are you thinking? If he wants to investigate, let him do it himself. If I don't provide him with any clues, anyone can find the murderer, but we can't let this person find the murderer!"

Aki Tomoya rolled his eyes at Kube Rokuro.

He spent a lot of effort trying to find clues to solve the case before Zhongtang was arrested.

If the Zhongtang faction wants to investigate now, he can do it himself, don't bother him.

Anyway, whether it is the police or anyone else, it is best not to be from the Zhongtang faction when solving the case.

If he solves the case, it means someone will die.

The lesson from Suzuki was still fresh in his mind, and Akitomo didn't want to see the same scene again.

"By the way, if you have any way, can you do me another favor?"

"what?"

"I want to know what Shishido Riichi has been doing recently and where he has been."

“…I’ll give it a try.”

Hisabe Rokuro looked a little unnatural. He never thought that in the end, he would become Aki Tomoya's spy.

At this time, he remembered the thing that Shishido Riichi gave him. He was about to take it out when Misumi Mikoto came over.

"If you two have nothing to do, could you please help me a little?"

"I'm sorry, Dr. Misumi, I have something to ask. You can talk to Kube-kun."

"No, Amai-kun, have you forgotten what you just told me?"

At first, Tomoya Aki refused embarrassedly, and then Rokuro Kube also looked at Tomoya Aki.

He has a lot to do. He has to help Tomoya Aki, and he is also investigating a case. Mikoto Misumi also has things she needs him to do.

He is not a celestial being, do you think he is a tool?

"Also, Amaki-kun, there's something I think you need to take a look at."

"What, what are you doing secretly?"

Without waiting for Aki Tomoya to speak, Misumi Mikoto asked curiously.

Since no one was willing to help her, she wanted to know what these two were going to do.
