Chapter 149 An old case
The lawyer was summoned in court and asked Yuri Kamei several tricky questions.
"How is your relationship with the victim?"
“Very bad.”
"Where were you on the day of the incident?"
"No comment."
"Do you know the mental state of the client?"
"Clear."
Yurō Kamei still had an indifferent attitude and answered truthfully in court, even saying "no comment". Yuan Yuzi murmured in her heart, this guy is so confident, isn't he afraid of being jailed?
After the judge listened to the arguments from both sides, he asked Kamei Riko the simplest question based on his rich past experience:
"Excuse me, defendant, have you adopted a dog recently?"
This sentence was like a sharp knife cutting through the messy thread, causing everyone to subconsciously hold their breath. Everyone looked at Kamei Riko, and Minamoto Tamako was sweating. She felt that the judge had been convinced. As long as Kamei Riko nodded and admitted that she had a dog, the court would return the case. Under the pressure of the prosecutor, the police station will definitely conduct vigorous investigation, and the real culprit will surely come to light - the fork in fate lies between Kamei Riko and Riko Kamei.
"No." Kamei Riko said.
……
She paused and added: "I haven't had a pet in half a year."
……
Yuan Yuzi wanted to shout that it was impossible, but her good upbringing since childhood allowed her to hold back her shock and anger. She didn’t understand that Mrs. Kamei clearly had a dog. On the day of the crime, she begged the police to help find ‘Marujiro’... Why would she give perjury now?
"You can't expect a mother to accuse her child, right?" Fushimi Lu's unclear voice came as he ate senbei with relish.
At this moment, Yuan Yuzi was enlightened.
She thought she finally understood. No wonder Fushimi-kun said at the beginning, "It doesn't matter whether the case is investigated or not." No wonder Fushimi-kun has been fishing... When they were eating hot pot, she once asked Fushimi-kun, "Can't the turtles be allowed to die?" Did Mrs. Jing identify the murderer? ’, the latter sneered in return.
From that moment on, Fushimi-kun knew it would end like this.
——Mrs. Kamei pushed her husband downstairs and confessed personally. Even if Kujo Yui came, it would be difficult to overturn the verdict.
Minamoto Tamako recalled more and more details. For example, during the interrogation, Yurō Kamei once said, "Fushimi-kun should know better, even if you catch me, there is no point." Communication with Kamei Yurō...
Reasoning is of no use as both the police and the murderer are showing off.
From beginning to end, she was the only one kept in the dark.
——‘It’s time for you to see what a real murder game is. ’
If Minamoto Tamako also had a system, now would be the time to upgrade. During this period of time, her experience bar continued to increase, until now, she finally broke through the invisible shackles.
It turns out that this is how the case was solved.
Murder is not a reasoning game. The murderer will exploit every loophole he can, jump out of any established rules, and not be bound by any framework... This itself is a game between people.
Yuan Yuzi realizes that the world is more cruel than she imagined, and some things are doomed from the beginning.
But she was unwilling to do so.
She was really unwilling.
No matter how hard she worked during the New Year's business trip to investigate, no matter how hard and tired she was, it didn't matter. She just couldn't bear to watch the real murderer escape justice.
Kamei Yurō turned around and smiled slightly at Minamoto Tamako.
He was not in the dock, but he was acquitted.
When the court hearing was over and everyone dispersed, Kazama Takusai patted her on the shoulder and stood up to leave. Fushimi Lu sat next to her, finished eating the senbei, clapped his hands and asked: "What do you think?"
Seeing that Yuan Yuzi didn't answer, he turned around and saw that Yuan Yuzi was secretly crying. She lowered her head, put her hands on her knees, clenched her fists tightly, and couldn't stop tears from pouring out. She knew she looked useless like this, but she couldn't help it.
Instead of comforting her, Fushimi Shika added insult to injury and asked: "Do you still think the law is justice now?"
"It's just...it's just that I'm not capable enough..." Yuan Yuzi said with a cry.
"This is not a question of ability. As the saying goes, 'The place outside the law is just a few inches away.' The human heart is always a private place. The law can only adjust people's external behavior, but the law often regulates people's thoughts, emotions, and inner motivations. There is nothing you can do. If you study law, you know that law has its limitations..."
Before Fushimi Shika finished speaking, Yuan Yuzi suddenly raised her head. She wiped her tears randomly and said loudly:
"I won't give up!"
After saying that, she stood up suddenly, quickly left the court and rushed back to the police station.
Officer Sakai saw her and asked her what the outcome of the trial was, but she did not answer. Under the watchful eyes of the other detectives, she plunged into the archives room with murderous intent and began to look through Sugamo's recent and past case files.
Even if the law has limitations, so what? The abolition of bad laws and the proper use of good laws can promote the perfection of the law as long as there is a precedent - the law is by no means a dead thing with rules and regulations, but the pursuit of order and morality in people's hearts!
And what she has to do is to make this 'precedent' come to light! !
In order to no longer allow people to hurt their loved ones without any bottom line in the future, and in order to let people respect the things that others choose to cherish in the future, she must get the most just outcome for this falling case! !
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Yuan Yuzi locked herself in the archives room and read through recent cases sleeplessly.
"There is no perfect crime in the world. As long as a crime occurs, it will inevitably leave traces." She believes in this principle. From a scientific point of view, there is nothing that will not leave traces - Kamei Yurō's interpersonal relationships and crime The tracks are scattered among the mountains of files.
It's just that no one has ever connected them.
Yuan Yuzi had no way to judge whether the confessions in the dossier were true. She could only read all the dossier files in her mind and constantly cross-compare them.
During this period, Watanabe-senpai and Kazama-senpai advised her to rest, but she ignored them. Fushimi-kun brought Sakurako to see her and wanted her to go home, but she refused.
"I'm doing the right thing." Yuan Yuzi said seriously with a small face.
From Sugamo to Ikebukuro, from Ikebukuro to the port area, all the way to the fishing town in the distance. She finally saw clearly. In the intricate interpersonal relationships like a spider web, she finally saw the core and the very beginning...
She saw two familiar names in the sealed files of the illegal educational institution "おESTし-****camp".
——Yu Ryo Kamei, a 12th-year student.
——12th-term student Chiki Kazama.
……
That morning, when the director went to work, he noticed something was wrong with the way his subordinates looked at him. When he walked into the office, he saw a familiar figure sitting on his office chair.
Kujo Yui sat sideways with her head lowered, reading the investigation report; Minamoto Tamako stood beside her with her hands behind her back, looking tired but with amazing momentum.
"The suspect seduced a married nanny, used her position to contact female executives, used the love relationship to defraud huge amounts of stolen money, spent lavishly in custom shops, and captured the heart of the lady sitting on the stage... Well, accounting books, charging receipts, There is ample evidence from witness statements and love letters.”
Kujo Yui raised her head and asked: "Even the female student who sent the anonymous photos and letters confessed... How did you find her?"
Without waiting for Gentamako to answer, Kujo Yui threw the investigation report on the table and said: "Forget it, this kind of thing doesn't matter. Otomo Police Officer, you came at the right time. From now on, I will take over the Toshima District Criminal Police Team and establish Special Investigation Division, conducting large-scale investigation work.”
The office was silent for two seconds. The director came back to his senses and cautiously asked the superior. He wanted to know what happened that made the police inspector mobilize so many people.
"Do you still remember that disappearance case?" Kujo Yui asked.
There are countless missing cases in Tokyo every year, but when Kujo opened his mouth, the director knew which disappearance case she was talking about - Kujo Yui's father-in-law, Minamoto Tamako's grandfather, had disappeared in the suburbs of Tokyo.
"He is the new suspect."
Kujo Yui said: "The Search Section 1 is already on the way to arrest Kamei Yurō, and I want to interrogate him personally."
