"Excuse me, you shouldn't have called me out to get medicine or something, right?" Kazumi Takenaka said this as she walked out with Gregory. "If it's about taking medicine, it's supposed to be your assistant's job, right?"

"I called you because her family didn't come, and there are some things I don't want her to hear." Grigory nodded and said straight to the point. "She's not doing well, at least in lupus erythematosus, it's very rapid and intense — to tell you the truth, we've given her steroids to ease her immune system response just in case, but her symptoms haven't been relieved, and they're getting worse even faster."

"That'...... How much time does she have left? Kazumi Takenaka showed a somewhat sad expression.

"Probably...... It's today," Grigory sighed. "In extremely rare cases, it can cause heart and kidney failure, and it may ...... Today is the so-called 'extremely rare case', and our treatment can do little to stop her condition from getting worse. ”

"Didn't you call your uncle over?" Kazumi Takenaka felt a little strange. "I mean Kiyocho Matsumoto, he's Sayuri's father!"

"He already knew, but he wanted us to tell him about it afterwards — it doesn't sound like he's too afraid to face it." Grigory shook his head. "He wants me to tell you about it and let you tell him afterwards."

"......" Kazumi Takenaka hesitated for a moment, but nodded. I know. ”

"Hmm," Grigory suddenly pulled out a pack of depleted wipes from his pocket and began to wipe himself down. "I think I got my hands dirty when I ate chocolate just now...... Ah, it seems that there is another one, do you want to use it? You seem to have fed Miss Matsumoto pastries just now, and by the way, you helped me use the last one of the wipes, so I just threw this package away? ”

"Huh? Oh, okay. Kazumi Takenaka nodded, although she was a little surprised. Ok thanks. With that, he pulled the last wipe from Gregory's bag and wiped his hand earnestly.

"By the way, do you have time to listen to me tell a story?" At this moment, Gregory, who was watching Kazumi Takenaka's movements of wiping her hands, suddenly spoke. "Stories I've heard before."

"Yes, what do you want to talk about?" Kazumi Takenaka is confused.

"Canberry glass, or rather, cranberry glass, have you ever heard of it?" Grigory said. "It's an extraordinary skill that may have existed in pre-Roman times – they made something interesting inside the glass, and they could create a very fine red glass."

"And in the 17th century, chemists made further breakthroughs in color – a new type of glaze was developed, and even exported to the Qing Dynasty in the 18th century as a completely new enamel paint."

"You are telling me these things to ......," Kazumi Takenaka's face was rather confused.

"Look at your hands," Grigory reminded. "You take a look first, and I'll move on to you."

“？” Kazumi Takenaka looked at her hands, but found that for some reason, her hands and wet wipes were dyed purple. "What's going on, sir?"

"Purple of Cassius, or as it can be called, is the color produced by colloidal gold produced by the reaction of stannous chloride in an acidic environment with gold ions." Grigory picked up the wipes from Kazumi Takenaka's hand and said unhurriedly. "But that's weird, I just added some stannous chloride and weak acid to the wipes, where did the gold ions come out of thin air?"

Kazumi Takenaka tucked her hand into her pocket and said nothing, which made Gregory more confident in her own judgment.

"Gold sodium thiomalate, am I right?" Gregory took a pill box out of his pocket and said this. "My assistant mentioned that you said that you had an allergy test for celecoxib and diclofenac, and that the symptomatic disease of those two drugs was rheumatoid arthritis, and after we searched for your file, it was confirmed that your medication contained this thing."

"But why should I hurt her?" Kazumi Takenaka raised her head and asked. "I've put up with her dating my boyfriend, what reason can I hate her?"

"I came to you because the toxicology test confirmed that the gold ions were seriously exceeded, so I know you have done this." Gregory shrugged. "As for why you're doing that...... I'd love to know too, although I don't think you might be able to tell. ”

After a long silence, Kazumi Takenaka sighed. "I ...... I used to think that I could really be rational about all this, really, I used to think that I could be rational about the rights that other people have rightfully enjoyed. ”

"Takasugi Toshihiko is my ...... The second serious boyfriend. My first boyfriend was when I was in junior high school, and we dated for about 5 years, but in my junior year of high school, because he transferred to Osaka with my parents to study, and I felt that other male classmates were too close to me, so that summer, we had a big fight and ended the relationship. ”

"It's been a long time since I met Toshihiko, although I had broken up for almost three years at that time, I had just come out of the shadow of my last relationship, and I had just prepared for a new relationship, even all the way to a lifetime, but ......"

When she said this, Kazumi Takenaka lowered her head again, and her tone even brought a little smile. "Can you imagine? At the beginning, he confessed, it was he who launched a long pursuit offensive, and then he was the one who promised me a lifetime with sweet words, and finally I paid my true feelings, I really had to be him, but he told me that he liked someone else? ”

"Is that the bride?" Gregory frowned slightly—he had previously known that Takasugi had only started dating Sayuri Matsumoto a few months after their breakup.

"yes," Kazumi Takenaka nodded. "He told me at the time that he was in love with my friend – can you imagine how I felt at the time? He also proposed a plan for me: stay with me for another six months, go through four years of college with me, and then he will pursue Sayuri...... What can I say? Let him get out of front of me right away, of course. And then...... You may know the rest, he waited a few months as a window period to create a basis for his split, and then Sayuri really accepted the ......"

"I understood that he had nothing to do with me anymore, and that they were indeed suitable for each other, and had been waiting for each other for twenty years...... But why hurt me at the price? Why is he still blatantly chasing my girlfriend? Why would my girlfriend still blatantly accept my ex-boyfriend? They're cool, but what about me? ”

At this moment, the ECG alarm suddenly sounded from the special ward.

"Well, I guess that should be good news for you? Although it may be a bit of a ruin in my job. Gregory didn't even make a move to confirm what was happening, he just stood and said. But seriously, is it worth it, just for this kind of thing, to send yourself to the charge of intentional homicide - don't look at me, I know that your poisoning behavior has been going on for a long time, and this drug is only easy to cause toxicity after it has accumulated a certain amount. ”

"I originally thought that Toshihiko would kill her, so these poisons were just for the sake of coolness, but now it seems that ...... Did I add a layer of insurance to him? Kazumi Takenaka turned her head to look at the special ward, but she didn't have any intention of going back. Forget it, anyway, if he had given up in the first place, I would have done it myself, and it would be no different from now. ”

Ten minutes later. "She's dead." As Chiba returned to Gregory's office alone, she said this.

"I know, you may not be familiar with it, but it's all too common for a doctor, after all, we're just mortals." Grigory threw the tennis ball he was playing with in the direction of Chiba.

"On your report, the cause of death was a heart attack, right?" Chiba caught the tennis ball, looked at it, and threw it back with a force far lighter than Gregory's. "Although it is true that gold poisoning occurred, that symptom was not a common symptom of gold poisoning."

"yes, plus the elders of their family seem to have a history of heart disease, so I didn't put this thing as the cause of death in the end - it can also be given to that ...... I also don't know how to judge the young lady to reduce some of the sentence. ”

"His ......," Qian Yu said after adjusting the auxiliary unit to the full-band full-power interference mode. How could his death be so familiar? Looking at the way he looks, I always think, did you do something? ”

"Hmm," Grigory nodded. "I drugged her APTX-4869 and made her die."

"When did you do this with a patient...... Qian Yu asked after glancing behind him to make sure there were no other eavesdroppers. That guy should have been able to be cured and discharged from the hospital if he had been treated with chelation properly, right? Aren't you ......?"

"Someone needs her to die, can you understand it now?" Grigory took a sip of the coffee in his cup and said. "If she doesn't die, the rest of her job will be very risky."

"Job risk?" Qian Yu was stunned at first, then turned to astonishment. "What do you mean......"

"Or else?" Gregory asked rhetorically. "Well, no one will be able to break down the two of them anymore, and we'll be much safer—if it weren't for him, you'd probably have to live a life of fear right now!"

Seriously, Kazumi Takenaka in this chapter was created by myself, because I asked everyone in the pigeon nest and redid the character with everyone's answers - after all, it would have created a better mille-feuille feel
