anwhile, Amuro Tooru entered the hospital and went directly to the director's office on the third floor.
After submitting the proposal, the other party had emailed him, asking him to co directly to the director's office once the investigation was complete.
He didn't want to run the errand himself, but having Kazami do it would create a ti discrepancy. When dealing with a clever boss, it was better to be cautious.
Killing ti in the coffee shop and conveniently sharing his analysis with Kazami worked out quite well.
Actually, he had still shown too much, which wasn't conducive to hiding his investigation; he should have held back more.
But faced with this kind of challenge, seemingly aid specifically at curious people who strive to do better, he couldn't bear missing any step. He really couldn't help himself...
Third floor, the director's office door was open.
After Amuro Tooru knocked, Soma Taku looked up and imdiately stood. "You must be Mr. Amuro?"
Amuro Tooru nodded, handed over the printed papers after entering, "The solution proposal ntioned investigating Doctor Hirata's reputation. I've brought the investigation results."
Soma Taku took the papers in surprise, returned to his desk, and sat down. "You're much faster than I expected."
"I hired a private investigator for the inquiry," Amuro Tooru explained with a smile. "As the director's assistant, there should be many tasks to handle. I felt I shouldn't waste ti; utilizing resources appropriately is the wisest choice."
Even if Kazami Yuuya had used a disguise, anyone determined to investigate could easily find out he hadn't gone to the hospital himself.
He never expected Kazami to be able to pass as him from the start. Having Kazami use a disguise for the investigation was just to make it easier to attribute it to a private detective.
Soma Taku nodded, made a phone call summoning soone to the office, and explained to Amuro Tooru with a smile, "The consultant provided assessnt criteria. Besides you, two others also qualified, but they weren't as thorough in their considerations, nor did they perform as well as you. In fact, only their solution proposals passed. When the consultant emailed the assessnt criteria, even I thought it was difficult. I didn't expect soone could actually complete it so well..."
"You flatter ." Amuro Tooru smiled slightly. Just as he thought, for the applicants, figuring out one or two key points was enough to pass. The so-called assessnt criteria were likely just as he'd deduced.
That consultant was truly remarkable.
Soma Taku pondered for a mont, then looked up at Amuro Tooru. "Actually, having you be my assistant at the hospital is a bit of a waste of your talents. Would you consider taking a position at the Maike Group's Tokyo branch? With your abilities, I believe the person in charge and the consultant would be very willing if you are."
"I prefer the environnt of a pet hospital, being able to see sick or injured pets get help. So, I'd still like to stay at the hospital." Amuro Tooru smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly. He ca to the pet hospital to make contact and investigate a few targets, not genuinely seeking employnt. Showing off too much was indeed proving troubleso.
Soma Taku, being a good-natured veterinarian himself with a natural love for animals, found Amuro Tooru's words struck a chord, making the old man's eyes imdiately crinkle with a smile.
"You like this feeling too? Didn't you study veterinary dicine?"
"I stopped schooling after high school and have worked many jobs, so..."
"That's truly a pity. Have you thought it over? Are you sure you don't want to go to the Group?"
"Yes, I've considered it. I'd also like to learn so related knowledge while at the hospital."
Soma Taku's favorability score maxed out. After considering, he picked up the landline phone on his desk. "I'll call the consultant first."
The call went through and was answered shortly after.
"Professor?"
The cool male voice on the other end was accompanied by the sound of children laughing and playing.
"Consultant, the recruitnt results are out. It's the three people I ntioned to you. Regarding their positions..."
"You can discuss it with Oyama."
"Beep... Beep..."
The call was directly disconnected.
Soma Taku was speechless for a mont, then looked up to explain to Amuro Tooru, "Ahem, actually, the consultant just dislikes idle chatter. He has quite a good temper usually..."
Did that sound a bit insincere?
But Chi Feichei had always been quite polite to him, never lost his temper. That counts as a good temper, right?
Amuro Tooru nodded with a smile. "Apologies, I overheard a little. The consultant is with children, right? Soone who likes children and can get along with them can't have too bad a personality."
Soma Taku was convinced by Amuro Tooru's counter-argunt. Thinking about how much children liked the consultant, maybe he was actually a very warm person inside. "Ah, actually, the consultant just seems a bit cold on the outside; he's quite easy to get along with. I'm telling you this because I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to be our consultant's assistant? Our consultant has never had an assistant. The recruitnt was handled by Mr. Oyama, the head of Maike Group Tokyo. The consultant said you and Mr. Oyama should discuss your positions. With your abilities, Mr. Oyama will surely agree."
"Then... what exactly would I be doing?" Amuro Tooru asked.
He didn't want to get tied down by Maike Group affairs.
Soma Taku nodded. Asking clearly before considering the position, assessing one's own capability—this young man was quite good. "Actually, the consultant's side doesn't have that many tasks. He doesn't need to worry about most of the Group's affairs. Generally, it's just so banquets he needs to attend. Mr. Oyama's side will have soone organize the specifics and inform you. You just need to let the consultant know. The rest of the ti, you can learn about dical knowledge at the hospital. How does that sound?"
Amuro Tooru nodded with a smile. "I'd be delighted!"
Plenty of free ti, the title of Consultant's Assistant would make it convenient to find opportunities to contact those targets, and he could also interact with the interesting Chi Feichei. Simply perfect!
...
Teitan Elentary School.
After hanging up the phone, Chi Feichei continued watching the stage play performance.
Faster than he expected. That guy made his subordinate run errands again, huh?
But it's fine. Equivalent to hiring one Amuro Tooru, with a bunch of free labor thrown in.
It's just that the company doesn't seem to have any difficult tasks left. Letting him sit idle is too wasteful...
On stage, Conan stood solemnly before Genta, rattling off a speech for a while. "...Confess! You are the real killer!"
Genta looked dejected and slumped to the ground. "How could this be... That woman forced to marry..."
A group of children pulled Genta away.
Conan and Haibara Ai turned around to find Ayumi and Mitsuhiko.
"Officer Ayumi, I have already found the real killer!" Conan said seriously. "Mitsuhiko, your suspicion has been cleared. Go find your mother; she's waiting for you at ho."
"That's great," Mitsuhiko smiled. "Thank you, officers! Thank you, everyone!"
Yes, they were acting out the case where Sato Miwako and the suspect were stuck in the restroom, betrayed by Chi Feichei, only for Chi Feichei, the Detective Boys, and Takagi Wataru to find the real culprit together.
Apparently, the Detective Boys initially wanted to perform a story about Masked Rider and a female spy betraying the organization, but ultimately adapted a real case instead.
Mitsuhiko was the wrongly accused suspect, Genta was the real killer, Conan was the male detective who solved the case, Ayumi was the female detective accompanying the wrongly accused Mitsuhiko, and as for Haibara Ai... she played Chi Feichei...
The other parents didn't know the case. Watching it for the first ti, they all found it novel and interesting. As the children took their bows, the applause was very enthusiastic.
"They perford really well," Mouri Ran applauded in praise, turning to ask Chi Feichei sitting beside her, "Right, Brother Hassashi?"
Chi Feichei nodded. The events were clearly presented, slightly adapted but still reasonable. And for elentary school students, these kids' acting skills were genuinely good. Occasional minor mistakes added to the codic effect.
The first prize for this Teitan Elentary School fair performance was definitely theirs~
Mouri Kogoro looked utterly speechless.
Even if the others weren't watching with smiles, they were watching the stage with expectant eyes. Only Chi Feichei maintained a cold face and a calm, scrutinizing gaze throughout. Didn't he see how several children were making frequent mistakes under his stare?
Whose idea was it to invite Chi Feichei to watch a children's stage play? So cruel...
