Volume 3, Chapter 24: Misdiagnosis (2/2)

Maomao scratched the back of her head.

(There are a lot of parts omitted.)

The quack doctor must be asking the question without understanding it. Even if he knew the answer, she felt that he didnt comprehend the details well enough.

Even so, it was a problem that doesnt have anything that cannot be understood.

In this case, judging the other person on whether he was the liar or not, there, was important.

Does the medical officer lie?

.

Seems he doesnt know this prerequisite. In that case, Maomao changed her question.

The medical officer doesnt misdiagnose, right?

Unlike this quack doctor.

Thats right. He would never.

He emphasised that part. In that case, the answer was simple.

Then, the one who killed the two people was the medical officer, and the survivor would have to be the apprentice who was neither a liar nor an honest person, right?

.

Seeing how hes silent, its bulls-eye, Maomao thought.

How did you know?

With a sulky expression, the quack doctor asked.

It was weird from the very beginning.

The main point of this story was this certain character. It was the medical officer who was everyones teacher. He was known to the culprit from the part where he being the person who doesnt misdiagnose said that it was a death from suffocation from the start.

Normally, death from hanging and constriction looks different. Maomao heard from her dad that people die from the weight of their entire body on their head. It was similar to hanging from a rope around the neck, but the way of dying is different.

From that, speaking of who was the apprentice who was in a frenzy, it was the student that wasnt any of the two. If he was the student who only speaks of truth, he wouldnt say that the answer of the teacher who doesnt misdiagnose was wrong. If it was the liar and unmotivated student, he wouldnt even be in a frenzy anyway.

And then, speaking of who is the other apprentice, it would have to be the diligent student. If he was the lying student, he wouldnt deny the answer of the teacher who should be right.

And then, the student who died the next day was also the diligent student.

The honest student wouldnt think of suicide, and the teacher also answered it was death from suffocation.

The teacher said death from suffocation, but he didnt deny it was a suicide.

To not lie only when autopsying, how difficult.

Maomao said, and smoothly gulped down the rest of the tea.

?

As the quack doctor was going to ask himself a question, he turned his head. Maomao, seeing him do that, as she put the remaining mochi pieces in her mouth, flipped through the medical book that was in the medical office.

She had thought to continue with passing time indolently like this for a short while.

So you were in such a place.

She heard a deep mans voice that she was used to hearing. When she turned around, Gaoshun with his usual wrinkled brows was there.

Normally, this man who was somehow relieving, but this time the circumstances were a little different. She pretended to sip from an empty cup as she held back her spontaneous jumpiness, calming her heart.

What do you require of me?

No, its fine if theres nothing. Its fine, she thought as she looked at Gaoshun, but it didnt seem to be that convenient.

Jinshi-sama has summoned for you.

Has it finally come? Maomao slumped her shoulders.
