I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Next, blood and stomach contents were extracted, and parts of the liver, kidneys, and pancreas were removed and preserved in formalin for histological and pathological examination by Makoto Sakamoto.

"It's likely suicide, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

After putting the body back in the refrigerator, Nakado took off his mask and said something.

"He swallowed five bottles of dizziness medication... There are so many suicides lately!"

Aki Tomoya exclaimed.

Diphenhydramine hydrochloride tablets, also known as Vertigo Stop, have antiemetic and anti-vertigo effects.

Consuming as many as five bottles constitutes suicide.

Adding to the previous mass suicide case, and the murder case involved, there are few doubts in this case, and the cause of death can be basically determined as suicide.

Of course, there's also the fact that the police found no signs of forced entry during their on-site investigation, raising suspicions of homicide.

Similarly, the autopsy revealed no signs of restraint or struggle before the death of the deceased.

Subsequent toxicological tests on the heart blood and stomach contents did not reveal any other common toxic substances.

As for being given sleeping pills beforehand, that's impossible.

However, after blood tests revealed the presence of difenidol, the drug concentration reached 12.86 μg/ml.

A rough estimate suggests that the pills contained more than 150 tablets, consistent with the pill bottles found at the scene, making suicide the only explanation.

An autopsy with no major issues, after completing the examination, histological examination, and pathological examination, can yield an accurate conclusion.

When Aki Tomoya returned to his office from the lab, he ran into Tokai Rin Yuko, who asked him if he knew where Misumi Mikoto had gone.

"Dr. Misumi has gone to investigate a case."

It has been quite some time since Mikoto Misumi left.

While he was in the autopsy room taking notes for the Nakado class, Misumi Mikoto and Kube Rokuro were investigating the case somewhere.

Upon hearing that Mikoto Misumi had gone to investigate a case, Tokai Yuuko sighed helplessly.

The two of them went to investigate the case, even though it was still working hours, and ended up leaving her alone at UDI. Luckily, they didn't have to work in the afternoon.

Yuko Tokai only complained about it briefly, without any other concerns.

However, not long after, someone in UDI received a call for help from Mikoto Misumi.

They found the place where Xiaohua had frozen to death, but they also got trapped by accident.

Mikoto Misumi was unharmed, but Rokuro Kube suffered a minor arm injury.

After some twists and turns, Zhongtang analyzed the available information and determined their location, allowing the police to rescue the two.

……

"You two really did run into a murderer."

The day after the case was solved, Aki Tomoya made a remark to Kube Rokuro in UDI.

I'm really afraid of whatever comes next.

As they investigated, they actually found the murderer's hideout.

Imagining them locked in a refrigerated truck, Aki Tomoya was speechless.

If they weren't from the Nakado faction, they would probably have drowned.

"...What would you have done if you were in Aki's shoes?"

Just then, Kube Rokuro asked a question, as he still vividly remembered yesterday's experience.

Upon hearing this, Aki Tomoya thought for a moment and casually laughed, "Just wait to die."

What would he do in that situation? He would just do whatever he could. If someone gave him paper and pen, he might even write his last words.

"Dr. Misumi was very calm afterwards, as if he had never experienced that life-or-death moment..."

Suddenly, Kube Rokuro was moved by Misumi Mikoto's reaction.

They were rescued thanks in part to divine intervention, which gave them a cell phone signal, and in part to the help of the Zhongtang faction, who managed to deduce their location from that limited information.

The actions taken by the Zhongtang faction in this matter are quite astonishing.

Having experienced such a thing, Kube Rokuro was also deeply moved.

In other words, he is someone who has experienced death.

"But it's also true that it could have been an accident!"

Aki Tomoya knew that they had faced a near-death experience.

Unfortunately, they never saw those two people again after yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Kube Rokuro felt a little ashamed, realizing he had unwittingly walked on the brink of death.

"...Unfortunately, Xiaohua's identity is still unknown, and no one has come to claim her."

The murderer has been apprehended, and the girl who was imprisoned with Xiaohua was also discovered and rescued.

However, what remains unchanged is Xiaohua's unknown identity; no one knows her real name or where she comes from.

It really is like a helpless little flower by the roadside, enduring wind and rain, only to be trampled out in the end.

But at least some people will remember her.

"It happens often."

Aki Tomoya replied softly.

His words sounded somewhat cold, but Rokuro Kube sensed a hint of helplessness in them.

The other person seemed to be used to it, yet was also moved by it.

"The remains, whose identities cannot be confirmed and who have not come to claim them, end up here."

There are too many to list. Even Aki Tomoya knows of quite a few that he has handled.

Without a clear identity, even if it is reported, there is no guarantee that anyone will come forward to claim it.

Xiaohua wasn't the only one who died and couldn't go home. If Kube Rokuro had gone to that warehouse, he would have understood.

This is a very helpless situation, and all they can do is pray.

"It's really not a pleasant story, just like Dr. Misumi..."

"Kube Rokuro muttered to himself."

This is not a good thing; it's filled with a lot of helplessness.

Just like when I first came across the news about Mikoto Misumi's past, and learned that Mikoto Misumi was the only survivor, I still had illusions about the murderer who was her mother.

But it seems that wasn't the case at all.

"What happened to Dr. Misumi?"

"...It's about that report I saw last time, about her past."

"Oh, then you don't need to tell me."

It was said to be about Mikoto Misumi's past, but Tomoya Aki didn't press for details at this point, instead telling Rokuro Kube to stop.

The latter asked with some doubt, "Aren't you curious at all?"

"It would be a lie to say I'm not curious, but judging from your expression, it's probably not a good thing, so I won't ask you to tell me."

Chapter 297 How disgusting is it? (3/4)

It would be a lie to say I wasn't curious, but Aki Tomo didn't think it was a good thing either.

I am curious, but there's no need to know right now.

Kube Rokuro seems to be looking for someone to share with, but he's probably looking for the wrong person.

That was all Aki Tomoya's curiosity was about.

"Aki-kun actually came today? Has the sun risen in the west?"

At the same time, Mikoto Misumi and Yuko Tokai walked in from outside. Rokuro Kube subconsciously lowered his head, after all, they had just been talking about Mikoto Misumi.

Aki Tomoya remained unfazed, not minding their jokes at all, and even laughed, "Winter break is coming soon, then we can have a proper New Year!"

If you make up for lost attendance now, you'll have time to do other things during the New Year.

Even on a normal vacation, this is what Aki Tomo wants.

Moreover, the winter break is not long, only two weeks.

"University life is great, there are holidays and normal vacations!"

Tokai Rin Yuko looked on with envy.

They do have holidays, but it's common for them to be pulled in to work overtime during their holidays.

Students are really good; their statutory holidays definitely won't be taken away.
