Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, each with their own reasoning.
After all, Kohei Kamata was about to establish a new medical theory, representing the most advanced medical research knowledge, and being on the verge of creating this new theory meant he was at the forefront.
On the other hand, the experts hired to criticize him stood on the foundation of basic medical theory, pointing out the contradictions in his ideas.
In simple terms, each side had its reasons, and they were still arguing while the media tried to verify the claims, and the public watched from the sidelines.
However, this still-unidentified news story might have been forgotten or buried in time. But it was unexpectedly confirmed by a staff member named Mai Kogami at the Beika General Hospital!
Suddenly, this seemingly insignificant news story exploded, catching the attention of the masses!
The opposing side stepped up and revealed a big scandal to the investigative journalists!
As a result, this news directly ignited public interest.
Subsequently, the Beika General Hospital image exploded, but this time, it was not a good thing.
For a while, the situation was turbulent, and everyone was waiting for the final outcome of this incident.
Mai Kogami not only confirmed Kohei Kamata's actions but also exposed an even bigger scandal!
To establish his theory for funding purposes, Kohei Kamata not only prescribed the wrong medicine to a late-stage patient who didn't fit his theory, leading to their death.
Furthermore, when he was drinking with Miss Mai Kogami, the whistleblower, to drown his sorrows after his engagement was called off by the headmaster's daughter, he not only showed no remorse for causing a patient's death but also uttered a statement that angered the public.
— "I can dispose of lives as I please, yet I was dumped by a little girl in her teens. What a foolish world."
And this is precisely why Mai Kogami chose to stand up and expose her colleague's wrongdoing.
She couldn't bear this callous disregard for human life, especially from someone who acted so superior.
So, although she didn't know how such a well-hidden matter got leaked, she saw this as the best opportunity.
As for the cost?
The price of losing her job and being gossiped about behind her back wouldn't be enough to concern Mai Kogami.
For this, she had already prepared herself for dismissal, and she believed no hospital would dare to hire her after this.
From the hospital's perspective, such "justice-seekers" would also be seen as troublesome. While everyone might praise their noble spirit for the sake of appearances, they would prefer to avoid having them around.
It's ironic, but that's the reality. Many morally upright individuals, despite doing what is right, end up harming the interests of those in power.
Instead of being hailed as heroes, they become thorns in the side of their superiors and are shunned, as people fear being associated with them.
After a scandal occurs, their first choice is not to expose it but to cover it up for their own benefit. Those who remove this "fake leaf" and cause significant damage to their interests are seen as "thorns on their side."
Thus, good people often don't receive good treatment, and this is mostly the case in such situations.
It is precisely for this reason that heroes are so precious.
Knowing that Mai Kogami had stepped forward to testify, Senichi knew that the second case could be considered closed.
Angry citizens unleashed their fury on the Beika General Hospital, berating the doctors for lacking professional ethics and treating patients as mere livestock to be slaughtered at will.
Under pressure, the hospital soon began investigating Kohei Kamata.
The outcome didn't surprise Senichi.
Kohei Kamata was sued by the enraged families of the patients, and after the investigation confirmed his deliberate murder of patients, he lost everything and received the appropriate punishment.
As for Mai Kogami, even though she declined the hospital's efforts to keep her, Senichi asked the detective agency's boss to use his connections to introduce her to a well-regarded private hospital.
After all, having established a detective agency that was much stronger than a small private detective firm with just a couple of cats, he naturally had some connections.
As for why the boss appeared to be fawning over Senichi in person...
Well, it's because he was paying him an exorbitant amount of money.
After tying up all loose ends behind the scenes, including settling matters with Mai Kogami, who was used as a pawn, Senichi's second-phase plan came to a complete close.
No matter what, Mai Kogami stepped forward and became the driving force behind the acceleration of Senichi's plan. She resorted to extreme measures because she couldn't see any other possibilities. Unable to bear the callous disregard for human life, she made the decision to kill her target.
However, Senichi's tactics from the shadows presented her with an alternative. Once the stage was set, and she saw the possibility of Kohei Kamata facing legal consequences, Mai Kogami didn't hesitate to come forward.
In this lifetime and under Senichi's plan, Mai Kogami chose not to resort to murder but instead decided to expose Kohei Kamata's crimes.
Regardless of whether her actions were involuntary or willingly played into Senichi's plan, as someone who possessed a conscience and became part of his scheme, it was only natural for Senichi to eliminate any unfavorable outcomes for her.
This was Senichi's way of handling things. Though the process might involve unscrupulous means, the results were always aimed at bettering the situation.
Smooth and principled, he didn't blindly pursue justice and turn it into a blade that harmed others; this was Senichi's conviction.
Ahem, after all, beliefs and such are always in the background.
But this was indeed Senichi's philosophy.
The second phase was successfully eradicated before the Teitan High School's cultural festival ended, and Senichi was quite satisfied with the progress.
This meant that he and Ayako could enjoy their date at the cultural festival without worrying about any cases popping up.
Speaking of which, Senichi found the cultural festival quite refreshing. While he had memories of previous cultural festivals, he hadn't experienced one firsthand like this before.
Although he wasn't directly involved in its preparation, for someone like Senichi, who had a somewhat lazy and carefree personality, participating and enjoying the festival was exhilarating.
Furthermore, being at the cultural festival with his girlfriend would double the joy.
He could experience the youthful energy of the students, eat and drink, and watch Conan dispel Ran's suspicions.
Killing multiple birds with one stone, bringing about multiple times the happiness!
While Senichi looked forward to the arrival of the cultural festival, Kudo Yukiko in the United States once again became a tool for her son, taking on the role of his substitute.
And so, the cultural festival approached quietly amid the day-by-day preparations.
The plan with Kudo Shinichi finally began!
