21st Century Necromancer

Because Yamada Yonegoro had a perfect alibi, even though the DNA retrieved matched his, he could not be convicted on this evidence alone.

Such an obvious flaw would be seized upon by any competent attorney in court for a defense of innocence, so the police could not ignore it and forcefully convict Yamada Yonegoro. They had no choice but to interrogate him overtime, hoping to find a new breakthrough.

While the police continued to interrogate Yamada Yonegoro for a breakthrough, Kube Rokuro, at the request of Misumi Mikoto, visited Tokyo University Medical School Hospital to see Chen Yu and confirm matters again.

As the son of Professor Kube and a frequent visitor of Chen Yu, the nurses at the hospital had come to recognize Kube Rokuro, so they greeted him when he arrived.

"Mr. Kube, are you here to see Professor Chen again?" asked a round-faced nurse with a smile. Despite rumors that he had been kicked out by Professor Kube, there were still nurses who considered the prospect of becoming Professor Kube's daughter-in-law.

Rokuro nodded shyly, somewhat overwhelmed by the nurses' enthusiasm.

In fact, his shyness and fear of strangers was a big reason why he had always struggled to find a girlfriend.

"Professor Chen is in surgery. Why don't you sit at the nurses' station for a while, Mr. Kube?" the round-faced nurse informed Rokuro that Chen Yu was in surgery and took the opportunity to invite him to the nurses' station, emphasizing, "Doctor Chen has a rather lengthy surgery today. If you're waiting for him, it'll be a long wait. Why not rest at our nurses' station? I brought some tasty snacks today, specially sent over from Okinawa by a friend."

Rokuro hesitated for a moment. His plan had been to go straight to Chen Yu's office, and if Chen Yu wasn't there, he could speak with his secretary Shirai Reina and wait in his office. But now faced with the invitation from the round-faced nurse...

Rokuro decisively abandoned his initial plan and followed the round-faced nurse to the nurses' station. Rather than sitting idly in Chen Yu's office, it was better to chat with the pretty nurses at the nurses' station.

Rokuro's choice was sincere and practical.

However, you couldn't blame Rokuro, as even the nurses working at Tokyo University Medical School Hospital were exceptional; not only were they highly skilled, they were also warm-hearted, and every one of them was beautiful.

Sitting in the nurses' station break room, Rokuro had a cup of herbal tea prepared by one nurse, snacks given to him by the round-faced nurse, and occasional chit-chat with nurses who passed by him, leaving him feeling pleasantly surprised by the attention.

Although it had been the round-faced nurse who brought Rokuro to the break room, in reality, she didn't stay to chat with him and barely exchanged a few words before she went off to attend to her duties.

After all, it was working hours, and even though the round-faced nurse wanted to chat with Rokuro, it was clearly not the right moment. Her original plan had been to have lunch with Rokuro.

It was apparent that the nurses at the station were eyeing Rokuro, the son of the Chief of Surgery, with great interest, making Rokuro, who seemed like a sheep among wolves, feel quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Kube Rokuro didn't have to sit for too long; Chen Yu finished his surgery before mealtime.

Upon hearing this news, Rokuro felt as if he had been granted a reprieve and left the nurse station, which made him feel like he was on pins and needles, escaping towards Chen Yu's office.

"Oh dear!" Rokuro was walking so fast with his head down that, when he turned a corner, he bumped into someone, causing that person to let out a cry of surprise.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Rokuro quickly apologized to the person he had bumped into, but when he looked up and saw the person's face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Standing in front of him was a long-haired female doctor, with one side of her hair pinned up elegantly, revealing her delicate earlobe. It seemed that Rokuro had bumped into her shoulder, causing the folder she was carrying to fall to the ground. At that moment, she was holding her shoulder and frowning slightly.

Rokuro hurriedly picked up the folder from the ground, wiped off the nonexistent dust, and then handed the folder back to the female doctor, apologizing with a remorseful expression, "I'm sorry, it was my fault for not noticing you. I'm really sorry for hurting you!"

"Oh, it's nothing, I wasn't careful enough." The female doctor's voice was very pleasant. After taking the folder from Rokuro, she rubbed her shoulder to confirm it was fine and then gave him a warm smile before walking away, sidestepping past Rokuro.

However, Rokuro, who stood still, watched the female doctor walk away and couldn't shake a sense of loss, feeling somewhat downhearted as he continued towards Chen Yu's office after she was out of sight.

As he walked, Rokuro couldn't help feeling annoyed with himself for forgetting to ask for the woman's name.

"Rokuro? Why do you look so out of sorts?" As Rokuro walked with his head down, he met Chen Yu coming out of the operating room. Yu frowned upon seeing Rokuro's preoccupied demeanor.

"Ah? Brother Yu! No, it's... it's nothing!" Hearing Chen Yu's voice, Rokuro snapped back to reality, his face flustered as he hastily responded to Yu, as if he had just come to his senses, "Brother Yu, have you finished your surgery?"

"Yes, I have, but why are you looking so distracted here? My office is that way; this is the path to the operating room." Chen Yu looked at Rokuro, surprised by his strange behavior.

Reminded by Chen Yu, Rokuro suddenly realized he had taken the wrong path and quickly apologized to Yu, "I'm sorry, Brother Yu! I was just preoccupied with something."

"Preoccupied? What was so engrossing?" Chen Yu glanced at Rokuro and walked toward his office.

Following behind Yu, Rokuro hesitated for a moment but ultimately gave up his intention to inquire about the identity of the female doctor he had just seen, turning instead to discuss the reason for his visit, "It's about that case from before. The police have caught a suspect based on DNA results, but the suspect has a perfect alibi..."
