Chapter 989: It's All Because These People Spoil Him [Bonus Chapter for Lord Meng Chujiu Writing Books for Fun]
After entering the Metropolitan Police Department, Ran and Conan went with Officer Chiba to give their Written Statement. Takagi took some officers to interrogate Suenaga Kenji, while Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai waited Outside.
If Suenaga Kenji hadn't run away earlier, he might have been able to delay things a bit, but his attempt to assault a Police Officer and escape was inexcusable. It didn't take long for him to honestly confess.
"...But Police Officer, it was that Woman who was too much!"
Ran and Conan were leaving when they heard this sentence from Next Door, so they went to the Next Door Doorway to listen.
"I saw that she was always alone, and I had already fallen for her. A month ago, when she came to the Shop to buy Things, I mustered up the Courage to ask her out. She rejected me, saying she had a Boyfriend and that her Boyfriend would visit her at Night..."
"I had already given up, but that Night, a Fire broke out Vicinity. When the Fire Truck passed by, I went to the Balcony to Check the Situation, and I saw that she, who lived across the way, was also on the Balcony, and she was alone. She didn't have a Boyfriend at all!"
"Last Night, she went to the Shop again and bought a bottle of Good Wine, saying her Boyfriend would come. So yesterday, I wanted to see for myself, but there was no one else at her Home!"
In the Interrogation Room, Suenaga Kenji's voice was very agitated, "She even said she would Call the Police. In a fit of anger, I picked up the Copper Ornament next to me and smashed her with it. I didn't expect her to... It's all her fault! Why did she Lie to me and put on airs..."
Ran frowned as she stood at the Entrance, and silently clenched her Fist again.
Officer Chiba broke out in a sweat, worried that Ran would barge in and beat the man up again, and quickly stepped forward, "Ran..."
"If he was just going to take a Look, there's no need to wear Gloves," Chi Feichei said in a low voice, "The Prosecutor won't ignore this Point."
The Sentencing Standard for Impulsive Murder and Premeditated Murder is different.
The reason Suenaga Kenji gave for the Murder might be true, but it wouldn't be an impulsive Murder out of anger. He might have had the intention to Murder as early as when he was rejected, and chose to Take Action last Night just to conveniently shift the Crime to Sachiko Nishimura's non-existent Boyfriend, which has nothing to do with whether he misunderstood Sachiko Nishimura.
Even if Ran rushed in, explained Sachiko Nishimura's real Intention, and cleared up the misunderstanding, making Suenaga Kenji feel guilty and cry in pain, so what? Suenaga Kenji might not care at all whether it was a misunderstanding, he just wanted to leave a ‘Impulsive Murder’ Impression.
However, the Prosecutor isn't that easy to fool. At that Time, the Prosecutor will definitely Seize the ‘wearing Gloves’ Point and not let go...
Ran looked at Chi Feichei blankly, not understanding so much Subtext.
Haibara Ai, who was leaning against the Wall Aside, sighed. Could her Brother Hissashi speak a little more clearly and not hide so much content in one Sentence? She helped explain, "In Other Words, judging from his Behavior, he is clearly committing Premeditated Murder, but he wants to portray it as Impulsive Murder. He is simply Lie. For this kind of person who is still Lie, has no Repentance, and is only thinking about how to reduce his sentence, you don't need to be angry, and you don't need to explain so much to him, because he may not care about these Things at all now..."
Ran's Face turned ugly, "No, I feel even more angry!"
Conan quickly looked up and Acting Cute, "Didn't Brother Chi say that? The Prosecutor won't ignore this Point. Isn't the best Outcome to prevent him from succeeding, rather than Ran going in to beat him up?"
Haibara Ai looked at Chi Feichei and said in a Leisurely Tone, "Moreover, after someone has seen through his Intentions, I'm not in the Mood to watch his Performance anymore."
Ran was silent for a moment, Also Correct. After Chi Feichei saw through him, even if she went to explain, to beat Suenaga Kenji up, or to make Suenaga Kenji cry and Repentance, she wouldn't feel any Comfort. The breath in her Heart was still stuck...
Chi Feichei started walking towards the Stairwell Entrance and called out, "Let's go."
When facing punishment, many people Hope to strive for lenient treatment. Ran couldn't stand this kind of sophistry and hypocrisy, but he had seen too much of it.
As Long As it doesn't disrupt his Itinerary Arrangement for Tomorrow.
The Matter is over, and what's left is Matters for the Police and the Prosecution. Professionals know better how to handle it. No Matter what the Outcome is, he won't pay attention to it anymore.
"Officer Chiba, then we'll leave first." After Ran said goodbye to Kazunobu Chiba, she sighed and followed Chi Feichei.
Conan followed Speechless.
Sigh, this Fellow Chi Feichei, can't he leave them a little Fantasy Space sometimes? He has to say it so bluntly.
He is okay, he has a strong ability to accept, but Ran's Mood will probably not be good for the next two Days.
...
The Next Day, Time jumped back from October to the end of July.
Takagi took half a Day off in the Afternoon to accompany Chi Feichei to Visit Shimabukuro Kimiie.
"Mr. Chi?"
Shimabukuro Kimiie was a little surprised to see Chi Feichei's Visit, but being in Prison didn't make this Witch from Mermaid Island depressed. On the contrary, probably Because she no longer had Hatred in her Heart, her Gaze was much brighter. After sitting down, she smiled, "Unexpectedly, you would come to see me."
"I've been idle Recently. See what you need, and I'll send you whatever can be sent in," Chi Feichei said.
"Can't you say that you took Time out of your busy schedule to Specially come to see me?" Shimabukuro Kimiie joked, and didn't wait for Chi Feichei to answer, so as not to be Blow, and started Self-Absorbed talking about her Situation.
The Villager on the Island will come to see her whenever they have Matters in Tokyo. Everyone said to let her behave well and they would wait for her to go back...
Her Body is fine, and she gets along well with the others here. No one bullies her, everyone is quite good...
Chi Feichei had previously followed Takagi to understand this from Prison Administration, but he didn't Interrupt and listened to Shimabukuro Kimiie finish speaking. The Visit Time was almost up.
Then Shimabukuro Kimiie Get Up to say goodbye and left with the Prison Guard.
Takagi watched the whole Strange Visit, feeling confused.
Mr. Chi came over and really only Say one Sentence, and then... Nothing Else?
Didn't even Care About her for a few Sentences?
The other party was so Cooperative, and said her own Situation without even being asked.
No wonder Mr. Chi's Written Statement is so Headaches, it's all Because these people spoil him.
After leaving the Prison, Takagi got into the Car and suddenly sighed, thinking of the Troublesome Matter he encountered in the morning.
"What's Wrong?" Chi Feichei asked, fastening his Seatbelt.
From the Afternoon when they met, Takagi had looked Mood, and occasionally he would be absent-minded and distracted, which was very Weird.
"Ah, no, Nothing Else." Takagi quickly shook his Head.
He wouldn't tell Chi Feichei that he had actually taken leave for this Afternoon and Tomorrow, planning to go on a Date with Sato to Tropical Land, and had even bought a Ring to give as a Marriage Proposal.
As a result, he was caught by his Colleague in the morning and taken to the Dark Room for Interrogation. He couldn't hold on and told them about the Date, but fortunately, he was witty and left the Football Match Ticket in the Desk Drawer in Advance, so that those fierce Colleagues thought they were going to watch the Competition, but in fact, he was planning to go to Tropical Land.
No one can Destruction his Marriage Proposal Action Tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Takagi's Gaze became much firmer, and his Mood also improved. He secretly glanced at Chi Feichei.
Including Mr. Chi as well, he Don't Want To encounter Acquaintance on a Date and Destruction the Atmosphere of their Private Time for Two. Moreover, Mr. Chi is very Ominous, and he Don't Want To encounter any Case when he finally has a Vacation to go on a Date.
Chi Feichei discovered that Takagi was smiling foolishly and happily for a while, and then looked solemn for a while. He didn't Ask further and drove away from the Original Place, heading to the next destination.
Takagi's Emotion changes really fast... Never Mind, Guess it's about Affection Matters again. He still needs to go Check on Numabuchi Kiichiro.
Compared to Shimabukuro Kimiie, this ‘Criminal’ Numabuchi Kiichiro has not yet been formally sentenced.
Because Numabuchi Kiichiro Murder more than one innocent person, the Degree of Danger is high, and he fled after committing the Crime, causing Panic among the Public. After Numabuchi Kiichiro was arrested, he also Lie and claimed to identify another Burial Site of the Victim to escape once. Although it was to See Firefly, this Reason cannot reduce the negative Impact of ‘escape’, and can even be said to be quite willful.
Regarding Numabuchi Kiichiro's sentence, the Prosecutor's Opinion has always been the Death Penalty, but they are very cautious about Death Penalty sentences. It is difficult for Criminal to be sentenced to Death Penalty. For Fairness, the Court also provided Numabuchi Kiichiro with a free Lawyer Team as Legal Aid. The results of the First Trial and Second Trial were different. The Prosecutor directly raised the Indictment to the Supreme Court. Numabuchi Kiichiro has also been held in Tokyo Prison, living alone in a single room, waiting for the next Court Hearing.
When Chi Feichei and Takagi asked the Prison about the Situation, the other party also said that the final Result might be Death Penalty, and then Numabuchi Kiichiro's Lawyer would file an Appeal. After the Case is sent back for Retrial, they would Request a Psychiatric Evaluation...
If a non-Death Penalty Result is not obtained, the Lawyer will file many Appeals, and the two sides will constantly argue between Death Penalty and non-Death Penalty until all Appeal Opportunities are exhausted.
Even if it is Death Penalty, it must be executed after the Minister of Justice signs the Execution Order. Due to Political Factors and Personal Factors, the Minister of Justice generally refuses to sign the Execution Order during their tenure and sends it back for Retrial.
Repeating this over and over again, it is estimated that it will take about ten years for the Verdict Result to come down.
"I heard that he is related to some Matters that the Public Security Department is paying attention to. Someone from there has been here, and they don't seem to want him to be sentenced to Death Penalty so early. The Retrial Time will continue to Extend," Takagi's Classmate during Police Academy took the two of them over and revealed a little Insider Information in a low voice on the Road, "So it's really hard to Say what the Result will be, and he may really have Mental State Problems."
"Is it about July Matters?" Takagi asked in a low voice.
Public Security probably Hopes that Numabuchi Kiichiro can provide some Clue that Outsider don't know. Then what he can think of is the Clue of ‘July’.
Chi Feichei didn't Speak Out, nor did he feel Unexpectedly.
What Public Security wants to Ask Numabuchi Kiichiro about may be July Matters, or it may be Organization Matters.
July's Identity has been kept Confidentiality. Besides Amuro Toru, the only people who know are that Public Security Committee member, and at most one or two high-level officials, such as a Big Shot. That level of Confidentiality is truly high.
However, precisely Because the Confidentiality level is too high, many Public Security Police don't know that someone inside Public Security knows who July is. People who know are also inconvenient to directly announce the cessation of the Investigation into July. That would instead show Abnormality. They can only use other Matters to slowly suppress the Investigation into July. So it is Possible that someone came to Numabuchi Kiichiro to Ask about July's Clue.
If they are here to Ask about ‘July’ Matters, the level of the person who comes will not be too high, at least not someone from Zero Group.
On the contrary, if they are here to Ask about Organization Matters, the level of the person who comes will be even higher.
He is more inclined to Judgment that both have been here.
It doesn't Matter whether Numabuchi Kiichiro said anything about Organization Matters, Because Numabuchi Kiichiro really doesn't know much. And Numabuchi Kiichiro didn't provide July's Clue, Otherwise he would have received Information from Public Security long ago.
