"Excuse me……"
"I work part-time at UDI Research Institute. I'm 19 years old and a student. Please blur my face. Thank you!"
What do you want to ask?
Being surrounded by a group of reporters, Aki Tomoya didn't think it was a good thing.
Even if you don't want to be questioned, as long as you speak, there's no guarantee they won't take it away and use it.
It's alright to encounter a conscientious journalist, but it's scary to encounter a conscientious journalist combined with an unscrupulous media outlet.
What are your thoughts on the Kobayashi dismemberment case?
So that's what happened. I haven't been paying much attention to the news lately, and I just thought it would be good if they found the real culprit. But it turns out it has already attracted public attention.
This group of people clearly didn't want to leave unless they got something exciting or eye-catching.
Then let's play along with them.

Chapter 208 Mom, I'm on TV! (1/?)
When facing reporters, one should appear nonchalant, disdainful of everything, and regard what one sees as insignificant.
To put it simply, just stay calm!
"A prisoner instigated a seriously ill elderly person to agree to be murdered, but the patient's family was heavily burdened with financial difficulties, and their cancer was incurable, leaving them only to wait for death. What is your opinion on this?"
How can you even ask such a question? Do those Japanese reporters like to profit from tragedy?
Why don't you go die instead?
But to be honest, this kind of question is not easy to answer. If anything goes wrong, it will be taken out of context and then hyped up.
Who knows what kind of stigma UDI will be given in the future.
The so-called rumor-mongering is to open your mouth and refute the rumors.
"I don't really understand either. Uncle, you're very knowledgeable. If you were in that situation, what would you think?"
"Hehe, I'm asking you."
"I'm only nineteen years old, and I'm just working part-time. How could I possibly know so much? Also, did you blur my face? I don't agree to appear on camera in real life. I'm still a minor."
Just pretend to be innocent and that's it.
Aki Tomoya imagines himself as a complete novice who knows nothing.
But at the same time, he also understood that if there was hope for life and people to care about, no one wanted to die.
That pharmaceutical representative who instigated an elderly person on the verge of despair is truly a beast.
However, on the other hand...
He wanted to ask these Japanese reporters, "Is it delicious to eat human blood buns?"
In fact, this matter only needs to be examined from one aspect: the sentencing of that pharmaceutical representative. I suggest the media first create a social death scenario.
Furthermore, the company behind the pharmaceutical representatives will not only be sued by Mrs. Kobayashi and her daughter, but the hospital will also sue it later.
Are pharmaceutical company representatives sent to hospitals instigating patients?
The hospital where Mr. Kobayashi worked must be furious. In this day and age, the medical community in Japan also has to deal with the doctor-patient relationship. After this incident, shouldn't the hospital take responsibility for not noticing the abnormal behavior of that pharmaceutical representative?
If you don't want the conflict to erupt on yourself, you have to shift the blame. The pharmaceutical representative and the company behind that representative will both suffer. Just wait for the compensation and the public outcry, and that's it.
Aki Tomoya pretended not to know anything, while the reporter kindly explained things to him, which was hilarious.
"From what you've all said, it seems that the company behind that pharmaceutical representative hasn't been properly managing its employees. You know, there are so many patients in the hospital."
Click, click, here it comes, as if I had been waiting for this critical remark.
This is pretty much what he expected.
But this fire cannot be directed at the hospital, nor can it be directed at UDI, and even less can it affect Mr. Kobayashi's bereaved family.
Considering that Mrs. Kobayashi and her colleagues are still suing the companies behind the pharmaceutical representatives, it's time to say what needs to be said.
"Is it the pharmaceutical company's fault? Did they misjudge people?"
"I don't know, but the doctors did their best, Mrs. Kobayashi persevered to the end, and the police solved the case quickly this time. UDI provided guidance in the process. That's all I know. I'm just a part-time college student."
Did he say anything?
Anyway, put the hospital and the bereaved family in a vulnerable position first. It's a fact that the police solved the case quickly, it's a fact that UDI also made contributions, and it's also a "fact" that he was just a college student who knew nothing.
When dealing with these persistent flies, it's important to understand who to side with and who not to side with.
Those you can offend, and those you shouldn't...
"Excuse me, it's very late, may I go now?"
"There are two more questions, could you wait a moment?"
"I'm very busy. I have part-time jobs and studies. I only do part-time work, so I don't know much. Goodbye!"
"Wait, which university are you a student at?"
"The University of Tokyo."
……
What's it like to be on TV?
Can't I proudly say to my mom—
"Mom, I was on TV?"
No way. Do you think I would go all the way to Hokkaido to tell my parents when they are on business trips?
However, he still saw the photos released even though his image was blurred out.
Much of the dialogue was cut out, leaving only comments about how the company seemed to have failed to properly supervise its employees, as well as evaluations of the doctor, Mrs. Kobayashi, the police, and UDI's stance in the case.
The small caption in the bottom right corner reads "Dongda University student & UDI general part-time employee." Clearly, the TV station wants to draw attention to the former's identity as the person who offered insightful opinions, while the latter is irrelevant.
"Luckily, I didn't say anything bad about the hospital."
Unexpectedly, he was actually released. Aki Tomoya thought about it and realized that he probably hadn't done anything wrong.
As long as they didn't say anything bad about the hospital, that's good. The hospital certainly won't blame UDI, since they're also being watched by the media.
When it comes to regulation, it's still very easy for someone to cause trouble.
"It's okay not to reveal your real name, it's okay to blur your face, it would be even better if you could change your voice a bit."
I don't know if this will help Mrs. Kobayashi's case.
However, he heard that someone from the hospital helped him testify in court, saying that the patient was actually very optimistic and that it was all due to the instigation of others.
Because of this incident, their hospital's reputation has been affected, and even Mr. Kobayashi's attending physician and caregiver have been verbally attacked.
The hospital and the patients stood together this time, which is truly commendable...
However, someone always has to be unlucky.
The pharmaceutical company is incredibly unlucky to have hired such an employee. It won't be easy for them to distance themselves from the situation; neither the hospital nor the bereaved family will agree.
"You're on TV, Tomoya!"
Eriri sent a message on LINE.
To his surprise, this person actually watches TV?
Isn't it supposed to be watching animation?
He only found out when he asked that it was Sayuri Sawamura who told Eriri.
This made Aki Tomoya remark that it was quite a coincidence.
Although the face is blurred, the voice has not been altered, so those who recognize people can still recognize the person.
Then, in his opinion, appearing on television isn't a big deal.
Just try not to get into trouble. I said a few words for the hospital, UDI, and Mrs. Kobayashi out of kindness, but sometimes kindness can also cause trouble.
Thinking about this, I felt a little flustered for no reason.
But as it turned out, once the storm passed, it wasn't a big deal at all; people are always forgetful.
"Aki-kun, keep up the style of a Tokyo University student!"
Majima, who was in the same period, sent his praise.
It didn't surprise him that this person paid attention to current social events.
"You have time to pay attention to these things, Majima-kun."
“It was my father. He mentioned this incident. The hospital director was his contemporary. The hospital also bears responsibility for inadequate supervision. If the media catches up on this, there will be big problems. My father also said that the director should thank a student from the University of Tokyo for bringing the fire to the pharmaceutical company.”
As it turns out, that company was indeed incredibly unlucky.
