21st Century Necromancer

"Mr. Chen Yu, are you saying that this is a suicide caused by school bullying? But why would Y choose such a method to commit suicide?" Jounouchi Hiromi was skeptical of Chen Yu's judgment, struggling to understand why Classmate Yokoyama would choose such a bizarre method of suicide: "And what's the purpose of this Killer S? Why would he go to the trouble of staging this act?

Just to attract attention?"

"Attracting attention is only part of the reason. Classmate Shirai's ultimate goal in doing this was to let more people know about the matter, and thus to retaliate against those who bullied them, right?

Since it was a conspiracy, Classmate Shirai must have suffered a lot of bullying as well." Chen Yu slightly shook his head, finding it difficult to pass judgment on such a situation, wondering why they didn't fight back if they weren't afraid of death.

Chen Yu couldn't understand the thoughts of the deceased. In his view, if you're not afraid of death, what can't you do? If you dare to commit suicide, why not dare to fight back? Is it because the other side is more powerful? Do school teachers not care?

If you can get hold of a knife, why not grab the other party and stab them a couple of times instead of committing suicide, which doesn't inflict any harm on the opponent?

"But in case of a suicide, if you want to attract widespread attention, couldn't there be other better ways? Why would Yokoyama choose such a bizarre method to commit suicide? If Shirai is the co-conspirator, what's his purpose of calling himself Killer S?" Misumi Mikoto's younger brother was Classmate Shirai's tutor at the cram school.

Hearing Chen Yu say this, and thinking about the Shirai he knew, he suddenly had even more doubts.

"I don't know. To find out their purposes, we need more clues. But those purposes are nothing more than revenge against those who bullied them or the school, or both. It won't deviate from this scope," said Chen Yu, glancing at the school teachers and the principal standing behind him, dissatisfied with their behavior.

If only the school teachers had taken a little more action, such an incident wouldn't have happened: "As for Yokoyama's bizarre method of suicide, it probably has something to do with those who bullied them."

"Shouldn't this just be playful fighting among friends? If boys have a good relationship, don't they often roughhouse?" At this point, a male teacher standing behind Chen Yu seemed to belittle the matter, trying to downplay it or absolve the school of its responsibility with his indifferent remark.

His words immediately caused Chen Yu's brows to furrow, and he said sternly, "The wounds on Yokoyama's body are at least a week old, and there are also injuries from three days ago that are clearly caused by beatings. Are you actually telling me this is playful joking?"

Seeing Chen Yu's stern demeanor, the teacher immediately took a couple of steps back, not daring to say anything more.

It was the principal who stepped forward to say, "Let's not worry about that right now. First, let's find the students from Classes Shirai and Yokoyama to understand the situation."

"Doctor Chen, thank you very much for today. Without you, we would not have been able to uncover the truth so quickly." While the teachers went to ask the students about the incident, Misumi Mikoto and Chen Yu were chatting in the corridor of the school's academic building about the incident.

"No need to be so polite, I'm just doing what interests me," Chen Yu slightly shook his head, not taking the matter too seriously: "And even without my help, with your professional forensic qualifications, Dr. Misumi, uncovering the truth would have only been a matter of time."

After a brief chat, Misumi Mikoto said she needed to make a call to have professional equipment sent over, and Chen Yu headed toward the office, planning to keep Jounouchi Hiromi company. The sight of the body seemed to have impacted her quite a bit.

Just as Chen Yu walked into the teachers' office, Rokuro Kube's voice suddenly came from outside, "Dr. Misumi, what do you think about Dr. Nakado's matter, the one where he killed his girlfriend eight years ago?"

"That's irresponsible gossip." Mikoto Misumi's tone was very firm, revealing great trust in the Nakado Department.

When Chen Yu heard their conversation, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he did not eavesdrop on their conversation and continued to walk into the office.

It's just that hearing the conversation between Mikoto Misumi and Rokuro Kube reminded Chen Yu of the person from the Nakado Department he had seen before at UDI, who acted like everyone owed him millions. That person didn't look like a murderer who had evaded the punishment for homicide; on the contrary, he seemed more like a revenger, always intent on vengeance.

The taste of such hatred might not be perceptible to others, but it was all too obvious to the Necromancer.

However, this matter had nothing to do with Chen Yu. Compared to whether the Nakado Department was a murderer, he was more concerned about his fiancée.

"Hiromi, are you okay? You looked rather pale just now." After getting a cup of hot water from the water dispenser in the office, Chen Yu handed it to Jounouchi Hiromi, who seemed not yet to recover from the shock she had just experienced.

"Mr. Chen Yu, why do people have to die? Isn't everything gone after death? Alive, we can have a future, more possibilities, right?" Jounouchi Hiromi asked Chen Yu in a melancholic tone, staring blankly at the cup in her hands, "Why throw life away in suicide? Why not find another way to solve the problem? There's nothing left after death!"

This was not Jounouchi Hiromi being overly sentimental but rather, for doctors who heal and save lives, life and death are the things they should be most indifferent toward, yet they can never truly be indifferent to them. No doctor would want to watch a life that could have been saved end before their very eyes, and in such a cruel and resolute manner.

If it wasn't for the Necromancer, perhaps Chen Yu would also have been affected like Jounouchi Hiromi, unable to recover for a long time.

"Perhaps it's because living is too tiring, too despairing," Chen Yu hugged Jounouchi Hiromi's shoulders, letting her lean against him, "Unable to bear it, that's why some choose to escape; enduring too much, that's why some choose such a definitive way."

"I still can't accept it…" Jounouchi Hiromi lifted her head to look at Chen Yu, clearly unable to accept this perspective. In her view, everyone should cherish their lives and live properly. But before she could finish her sentence, Mikoto Misumi's younger brother suddenly came in from outside and approached them.

"It has been confirmed that Yokoyama and Shirai were indeed bullied regularly, mainly by a group led by Student Xiaochi from their class. The knife also belonged to Student Xiaochi," Mikoto's younger brother was reporting the latest developments to them, but his face looked very grim, "But Student Xiaochi refuses to say anything and has a very bad attitude."

"Bastard!" Jounouchi Hiromi angrily smashed the cup in her hand onto the table in front of her, ignoring the hot water splashing and showing a rage on her face that Chen Yu had never seen before, "Where's that bastard kid? I'm going to teach him a good lesson!"
