Chapter 017: Arata Tomoaki
On the way back, Higashino couldn't help but ask, "Does President Kaneda have a wide range of information? He knows about the Economics and Management Department's admission to graduate school, and he was able to find someone to help him check the chemistry lab's borrowing records. Isn't that a bit too far?"
Adachi Shizuku said, "It's not surprising. He knows a lot of people." He turned around and smiled, "He's the legendary social terrorist."
As he drove, Toru Matsuzaki said, "President Kaneda is trying to secure customer base in advance."
"Ah?" Dong Yexi was stunned and looked at him with confusion.
"He said he'd open a counseling studio and be his own boss after graduation," said Toru Matsuzaki. "He's almost done all the preparations and has submitted his thesis. He's staying on campus just to build up his clientele. He says at least 70% of Tokyo University students have mental health issues, and they'll get worse after graduation."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Anda Shizuku shook her finger, "I think he underestimated it. Ninety percent of it is true!"
Only then did Higashino Hiroshi realize that Kindaichi was studying psychology.
However, since he could come up with the idea of using the next president's photo as a publicity tool, he probably has some psychological problems!
Soon, news of Kana Hoshimoto's murder spread throughout the University of Tokyo, and professors began to talk to students, paying particular attention to those who hadn't been admitted to graduate school, fearing they might do something wrong.
After Hoshimoto Kana recovered, she came to the club room to thank Higashino Higashi. Although her attitude was awkward, the gift she gave him was sincere, and he gladly accepted it.
A few days later, his mentor Yasuda told him that Asai Narumi had successfully passed the interview at Tokyo First Hospital and temporarily entered the emergency department.
Dong Yexi said happily: "Congratulations, brother, and congratulations to the teacher!"
Teacher Yasuda was also in a very good mood, his face beaming. He said, "Oh! Your senior is truly outstanding! Back then, I couldn't understand why he didn't stay in Tokyo after graduation, but went to that small place instead. I was so angry I couldn't sleep all night! Now that he's finally back, it's like a wish has come true."
Dong Yexi comforted him: "Senior Asai has accumulated experience in Yueying Island for two years, and everything will go smoothly in the future."
Teacher Baotian nodded with satisfaction. "That's not the case. He's been seeing the doctor for quite a few minor ailments in the past two years, so the hospital sent him to the emergency department."
Dong Yexi nodded repeatedly.
When elders praise others, it is right to praise them too.
"But..." Teacher Baotian touched his bald head and said regretfully, "There's still this kid who's giving me so much worry!"
Dong Yexi's eyes drifted away, and he thought: This shouldn't be talking about me, right?
"That kid, Tomoaki Aride, is even more outrageous!" Instructor Yasuda slammed the table and said angrily, "At least Asai found a hospital, but what about him? He refused a job at a big hospital and went straight to be a school doctor! He makes me so angry!"
Higashino Xi asked, "Niide Tomoaki?" Why does this name sound familiar?
Teacher Baotian glanced at him sideways: "Why? You just graduated, and you don't remember me?"
Dong Yexi quickly explained: "No, I'm just a little surprised."
"Oh! Who wouldn't be surprised to hear that? It's not that being a school doctor is bad, but he graduated with the first place! Isn't it a waste of talent for him to become a school doctor?" Teacher Baotian said regretfully, "Oh! I feel sad when I think of him now!" After that, he closed his eyes, covered his chest and leaned back in the chair.
Dong Yexi quickly reached out to help him, but was held by his mentor with both hands.
"Hai Ye!" Teacher Yasuda opened his eyes and said earnestly, "You persuaded Asai to come back, can you help me persuade Shinde?"
Dong Yexi looked at his instructor in confusion and asked, "Where did you hear that?"
"Asai said it himself! He said that if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have returned to Tokyo!" Teacher Yasuda said expectantly, "Since you've persuaded one to come back, can you help me persuade Shinde as well? Maybe when he sees his promising young apprentice, he'll want to make his own move."
Higashino Hi: ...
Senior Asai's determination to strive for success was rekindled because all his enemies had been dealt with. But he really didn't know how to persuade this senior, Shinichi! Someone who chooses to be a school doctor must be very Buddhist, right?
However, looking at his mentor's gray hair and feeling his deep love for his students, he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Dong Yexi took precautions in advance, "If Senior Brother Xinchu still doesn't want to leave the school, then I can't do anything about it."
Teacher Baotian immediately smiled broadly: "Okay, okay! No matter what the result is, I accept it!"
When he saw that his tutor was checking which hospital was short of staff recently, Dong Yexi twitched his lips.
You don't look like you can accept any other outcome!
"By the way, Shinji is now working at Teitan High School. Remember to visit him on weekdays!"
Higashino Hi suddenly reacted when he heard "Teitan High School".
Tomoaki Aride is the doctor that Vermouth once disguised as!
No wonder he felt the name was familiar, his former roommate had told him about this story.
Vermouth, disguising herself as Tomoaki Aishide, attempted to assassinate him. However, the FBI orchestrated a scenario where she believed Tomoaki Aishide's family had died unexpectedly. Vermouth then assumed Tomoaki Aishide's identity, rejected the hospital's offer, and chose to become the school doctor at Teitan High School. However, Vermouth's identity was exposed, forcing her to abandon her disguise. Tomoaki Aishide returned to Japan, but having lost his good job, he was forced to remain at the school temporarily.
Thinking of this, Dong Yexi suddenly became full of confidence.
This trip definitely wasn't in vain! Teacher Baotian might even thank him again!
However, when he arrived at the gate of Teitan High School, Higashino Xi suddenly thought of a question.
While the timeline of the Conan series is unclear, there's a main plot. So... what time is it now? Is that Vermouth or Tomoaki Aida?
He has only met four main characters so far, and has no way of judging the timeline!
"Huh? Senior Higashino?" Before Suzuki Sonoko left the school gate, she found Higashino Xi standing at the gate.
Mao Lilan looked in the direction: "It's really him!"
Sera Masumi hooked her arm around Mao Lilan's neck and asked, "Hey! Who is this handsome guy? Is he here to see you?"
Mao Lilan quickly shook her head: "How is that possible!"
"Just go ask and you'll know." Suzuki Sonoko ran over happily, and before she even reached the person, she called out, "Senior Higashino~ Long time no see~~"
Higashino Hiroshi saw Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan from a distance and knew that he couldn't hide away today. However, when he learned that the girl with them was called Sera Masumi, he immediately stopped worrying.
Masumi Sera has already appeared, so the one inside must be Tomoaki Araido.
Mao Lilan and the other two were a little surprised to hear that he wanted to find Dr. Arata.
"What's so surprising? Senior Arata also graduated from the University of Tokyo." Higashino Xi said with a smile, "He's actually my direct senior!"
Suzuki Sonoko was surprised and said, "Wow! Your sect is really exaggerated! They are all handsome guys!"
Higashino Xi thought of Asai Narumi with short hair, who was also a handsome and handsome guy with a fresh and delicate appearance, and nodded without any modesty.
The three of them brought Dong Yexi to the school infirmary. After knocking on the door, they saw a girl running out with her face covered.
Four people:?
Then, Tomoaki Arai came out and saw Ran Maoli and the others. He said, "So it's you. What do you want from me?"
Sera Masumi looked at him questioningly and asked, "What were you doing just now?"
Shinide Tomoaki sighed helplessly: "You guys come in first."
He walked to the desk, pinched his brows and didn't know where to start.
Dong Yexi saw a pink letter on his desk and said, "Brother, someone confessed to you again?"
Shinide Tomoaki opened his eyes and looked at him, surprised: "It's Dongye, why are you here?"
Higashino Hi: You only noticed me when I was already a grown-up...
He put his hands on his hips and said, "I'm here to save you!"
Arata Tomoaki was bewildered.
Dong Yexi pointed at the letter and said, "A high school doctor can't have a romantic relationship with a student, right? If someone reports you, even if you're innocent, the scandal will only get worse. By then, you won't be able to clear yourself even if you jump into the river."
Suzuki Sonoko retorted, "We all know what kind of person Dr. Shinde is. He's very tactful when communicating with girls!"
Dong Yexi spread his hands and said, "But when that girl ran out just now, didn't you suspect he did something?"
Shira Masumi touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."
"I'm not saying anything, hiring such a handsome guy for a high school medical office is just an inducement for everyone to skip classes," Higashino Xi said, looking at Aida Tomoaki. "Tell me, since you started, how many students have used the excuse of feeling unwell to come and rest in your place?"
Shinde Tomoaki rubbed his nose sheepishly. It was indeed a lot...
"Actually, I've thought of many ways, but nothing has worked." Shinde Tomoaki opened a drawer filled with envelopes. "They just threw the letters away and ran away. I can't go find them directly, so I can only keep them for now."
Dong Yexi was amazed: "As expected of the new senior, he is really popular!"
Arata Tomoaki gave him a strange look. "What are you talking about? Aren't you more popular? There are even a bunch of people helping you get a seat in your professional class!"
"I'm a lone ranger now!" Dong Yexi said righteously, "What happened in the past has nothing to do with who I am now!"
Sera Masumi couldn't help but complain, "Can you guys stop praising each other?"
Dong Yexi coughed lightly and said, "Anyway, this place is no longer suitable for you. You should find a job in a hospital!"
Shinide Tomoaki sighed, "Do you think I don't want to? You can't just go to a good hospital whenever you want."
Dong Yexi smiled: "What a coincidence!"
He said that Professor Baotian had collected the contact information of many hospitals, and he had contacted all the hospitals that were recruiting recently, and several of them were quite suitable.
As Tomoaki Arata listened, his eyes became moist.
The two were discussing at the table, and Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing by, couldn't help but lament, "Is Doctor Shinde really leaving?"
Mao Lilan advised: "It would be good if we could go to a big hospital. After all, Dr. Shinde is still very young."
Sera Masumi also agreed, "Besides, what that Higashino-senpai said makes sense. If someone ever reports him for teacher-student romance, he won't be able to explain himself even if he has a mouth full of mouths."
Suzuki Sonoko was convinced: "Okay~~ Then I will go to the hospital where Dr. Shinde works from now on!"
Mao Lilan & Sera Masumi:...
Outside the infirmary, a girl lowered her head silently.
