Only Director Odagiri and Kuroki Jin were left in the room, as well as the steaming tea on the table.
After the father and son were separated, Director Odagiri's complexion improved significantly.
He raised his hand to signal Kuroki to drink the tea on the table, while he sat upright and stared at him.
To be honest, Kuroki Jin was a little nervous when he was stared at by this gaze, just like a student being stared at by the dean. Yes, he felt guilty.
What's more, he is a criminal, but Toshiro Odagiri is a policeman.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Kuroki put the tea cup to his mouth, tested the temperature before taking a sip.
Odagiri Toshiro had no motive to kill him. Even if he wanted to kill him, for the sake of his own reputation, he would not use poison that kills him when he enters the mouth. As long as he takes a small amount, he can be saved afterwards.
"It was you who bailed my son out." Odagiri Toshiro said, with a serious look on his face, "Some of his recent actions were also directed by you, right?"
"Do you mean that I helped him reorganize the band so that he can continue to perform on stage, or that I brought him back to ease your father-son relationship?"
"Hmph." Odagiri Toshiro sneered, "I don't think there is any room for relaxation between the two of us."
"As the chief of the Metropolitan Police, I am ashamed to have such a criminal son."
Kuroki Ren smiled calmly and said, "Shouldn't it be sad?"
Odagiri Toshiro's expression froze slightly.
Kuroki put down the tea cup and rubbed it twice with his fingers to dissipate the heat transferred from the tea cup.
"You may be a good policeman, but you are definitely not a good father."
"Perhaps, you have never understood your son from beginning to end."
Odagiri Toshiro was silent for a long time, then slowly breathed out: "Maybe."
Kuroki turned his head to look outside the door. Not far away, Odagiri Toshiya was chatting and laughing with the old housekeeper, holding a samurai sword on the wooden stake to compare.
Odagiri Toshiro also followed his gaze and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "This may be the only thing he has persisted in since he was a child."
"He doesn't like kendo."
Odagiri Toshiro was stunned.
Kuroki Jin said calmly: "He prefers boxing. I accompanied him to the boxing ring once. You should really take a look."
"Min Ye said that in his limited time admiring you, only your progress in kendo will make you stay at home for ten more minutes, take a look at him and tell him to keep working hard."
"...Maybe I owe him more."
"It's not too late." Kuroki Jin smiled, "At least he is willing to come back here now."
As if he knew what Odagiri Toshiro was going to say, Kuroki Jin didn't give him a chance to ask, "Toshiya is not following my orders. If he really doesn't want to, he won't take the steps I gave him, and I won't force him." .”
"This is your last chance, Director Odagiri."
Kuroki Jin is twenty years old this year. His father was murdered and his mother was depressed. He entered an orphanage but was tortured since he was a child. He disappeared for a while, but reappeared and opened a popular restaurant near Didan High School. Candy House, and participated in some cases.
This is all the information about the young man opposite that Odagiri Toshiro was able to investigate.
He is such a person who can be said to have had an unfortunate childhood, but he is so sunny, cheerful and attentive.
So now there's only one question.
"In prison, did Minya take matters into his own hands?"
Kuroki Jin knew what he was asking. He had promised that allergies would also allow him to kill the prisoner who killed his mother with his own hands.
"Even if I say it was an accident, I'm afraid you won't believe it." Kuroki Jin spread his hands, "But the man actually committed suicide."
"suicide?"
"Yes," he smiled, "He said his only wish was that the child his sister left behind would live well. I said I could take him over and take care of him personally."
"You're threatening him with a child?"
"The first time he went to jail was for stealing and because he wanted to treat his sister who had a high fever."
"As a result, he was detained for three days. After he escaped, it was already too late to send his sister to the hospital."
"Although her life was saved in the end, her ears will never be able to hear again."
"That's why he rushed into your home in a fit of rage... resulting in the death of Mrs. Ling."
"His sister often visited him during the years he was in prison. After learning that his sister was married and pregnant, he wanted to commit suicide after seeing the child once, ending his guilty half-life."
"That day, his sister was in a car accident on her way back from a visit to the prison. She was already dead when she was sent to the hospital. The doctor could only perform a caesarean section, leaving only one child."
"After his brother-in-law came and cursed him, he took the child and disappeared forever."
Kuroki Jin slowly told, Odagiri Toshiro listened patiently, listening to the stories behind these prisoners that he would never understand.
"In order to punish himself, he squeezed his body and did hard labor every day with guilt. His body was getting worse day by day."
"I found him three years ago."
Three years...? The length of time surprised Odagiri Toshiro, but he did not interrupt Kuroki Jin's story.
"If you investigate carefully enough, you should be able to find out the case where I once worked with a few people to clean up a notorious slum in the suburbs and arrested a bunch of human traffickers who made a living by selling people."
"When I subsequently placed the people inside, I discovered the child through DNA comparison."
"I applied for prison visitation, brought the child to him, and then gave him a choice. No matter what he chose, I would help him take care of the child."
"He chose to leave some capital for the child, and since then I have had an extra pair of eyes in the Tokyo detention center."
Kuroki Jin smiled softly and said, "I knew he didn't want to live for a long time. The moment he saw Toshiya go to prison, he specifically contacted me and said that he wanted to die."
"Died in Toshiya's hands."
"He said that he could deliberately create an opportunity for Min Ye to see him talking about the case in high spirits, and then deliberately approach him while working and ask him to take action... But I refused."
"No one wants blood on their hands if they can help it."
"I said he can die, and I can even make Min Ye feel that he killed someone, but he can't really be killed by Min Ye."
"He knows how uncomfortable it is to bear the guilt of human life. I just asked him, do you want Min to be like him and think of the father who was killed by him when he saw the child in the future?"
"He broke the working machine himself. He deliberately stood in front of Min Ye, and Min Ye pushed him down just as I arranged..."
"But the safety mechanism inside the machine stopped working. The people who went in along the machine were all the people I paid to find in advance. They were rescued by Minya safe and sound, and he pressed the switch to start the machine inside. , cut yourself into pieces.”
"I wonder if Director Odagiri is satisfied with this story? Of course, you can choose not to believe it and investigate it yourself. Even if the facts found in the investigation are consistent with what I said, you still don't have to believe it. You are convinced that Min is the murderer and I am the one who planned the crime. "
"You can use your justice and your belief in the law to capture us as much as possible. Those are your choices."
Odagiri Toshiro looked deeply at Kuroki Jin and said thoughtfully: "What do you want?"
Kuroki Ren smiled. He looked out the door again and said softly: "Since I choose to give him a hand, he is my friend."
"I don't want my friend to have any regrets."
