Entering the Metropolitan Police Department, Mao Lilan and Conan followed Chiba and Nobu to take notes. Takagi Wataru led people to question Suenaga Kenci, while Chi Feichi and Haibara Ai waited outside.
If Suenaga Kenji hadn't run away before, he could have delayed it for a while, but he couldn't explain his intention to attack the police and run away, so he told the truth honestly not long after.
"...But Mr. Police Officer, that woman went too far!"
Mao Lilan took Conan out and heard this sentence coming from the next door, so he walked to the next door and listened.
"I saw that she was always alone, so I already liked her. But a month ago, when she came to the store to buy things, I mustered up the courage to propose that I want to date her, but she rejected me because she had a boyfriend. She also said that her boyfriend would visit her in the evening..."
"I originally gave up, but that night, there was a fire nearby. When the fire truck passed by, I went to the balcony to see the situation, but I saw that she who lived opposite also came to the balcony. She was alone. She didn't even What kind of boyfriend!"
"She went to the store last night and bought a bottle of good wine. She said her boyfriend would be there, so I wanted to go and see it with my own eyes yesterday, but it turned out that there was no one else at home!"
In the interview room, Suenaga Kenji's voice was very excited, "She also said to call the police. In anger, I picked up the copper decoration next to me and hit her. Unexpectedly, she... It's all her fault! She Why are you lying to me and pretending..."
Mao Lilan frowned and stood at the door, silently clenching his fists.
Chiba and Shen sweated, worried that Mao Lilan would break in and beat someone up, so they quickly stepped forward, "Xiaolan..."
"If he just went to have a look, there was no need to wear gloves," Chi Feichi whispered, "the prosecutor will not ignore this."
The sentencing standards for impulsive murder and premeditated murder are different.
The reason for the murder mentioned by Suenaga Kenji may be true, but it would not be because he was so angry that he could not kill. He might have had murderous intentions when he was rejected, and he chose to kill last night just to conveniently blame Sachiko Nishimura for the crime. That non-existent boyfriend has nothing to do with whether he misunderstood Sachiko Nishimura or not.
Even if Mao Lilan rushes in, tells Nishimura Sachiko's true intentions, resolves the misunderstanding, and makes Suenaga Kenji cry with guilt, so what? Suenaga Kenji probably didn't care if it was a misunderstanding, he just wanted to leave an impression of 'impulse killing'.
Although the prosecutor is not that easy to fool, when the time comes, the prosecutor will definitely grasp the point of "wearing gloves"...
Mao Lilan looked at Chi Feichi blankly, not understanding so many subtexts.
Haiyuan, who was standing against the wall, sighed. Could her brother Fei Chi be a little more detailed and not hide so much content in one sentence? "In other words, judging from his behavior, he clearly had a premeditated plan." To call it an impulsive killing is simply a lie. For a person who is still lying, has no guilt, and is just thinking about how to reduce his sentence, there is no need for you to be angry, and there is no need to explain so much to him, because he You may not care about this at all now..."
Mao Lilan looked ugly, "No, I feel even more angry!"
Conan quickly raised his head and said cutely, "Didn't Brother Chi say that? The prosecutor will not ignore this. Rather than beating him up like Sister Xiaolan, preventing him from succeeding is the best result, right?"
Haiyuan Ai looked at Chi Feichi and said in a leisurely tone, "And after someone revealed his thoughts, I have no intention of watching him perform anymore."
Mao Lilan was silent for a moment. That's right. After Chi Feichi told him the truth, even if she explained, beat Suenaga Kenji, and made Suenaga Kenji cry and confess, she would not be relieved at all. The tone in her heart was still the same. Can't go up, can't come down...
Chi Feichi started to walk towards the stairs and greeted, "Let's go."
When facing punishment, many people hope to get a leniency. Mao Lilan can't stand this kind of sophistry and hypocrisy, but he has seen too many.
Just don't ruin his schedule for tomorrow.
After the matter is over, the rest is a matter for the police and prosecutors. Professionals know how to handle it better. No matter what the outcome is, he will not pay attention to it anymore.
"Officer Chiba, let's go first." After saying goodbye to Chiba Heshen, Mao Lilan sighed and followed Chi Feichi.
Conan was speechless and followed.
Alas, Chi Feichi, can't he sometimes leave some room for them to imagine? It must be said.
It doesn't matter to him, he has a strong ability to accept things, but Xiaolan may not be in a good mood in the past two days.
…
The next day, the time jumped back from October to the end of July.
Takagi Wataru took half a day off in the afternoon and accompanied Chi Feichi to see Shimabukuro Kimie.
"Mr. Chi?"
Shimabukuro Kime was somewhat surprised to see Chi Fei come to visit him belatedly. However, being imprisoned did not make the miko of Mermaid Island feel depressed. On the contrary, it was probably because she no longer had hatred in her heart and her eyes became much clearer. , smiled after sitting down, "I didn't expect you to come see me."
"I've been idle recently. I'll see what you need and I'll give you whatever I can bring in." Chi Feichi said.
"Can't you just say that you took time out of your busy schedule to come just to see me?" Shimabukuro Kimie joked, without waiting for Chi Feichi's reply to avoid being shocked, and started talking to himself. Case.
Whenever the villagers on the island came to Tokyo for business, they would come to see her. Everyone told her to behave well and would wait for her to return...
She is in good health and gets along well with everyone else here. No one bullies her and everyone is nice...
Chi Feichi had previously followed Takagi Wataru to find out about these matters from the prison management, but he did not interrupt. After listening to Shimabukuro Kimie's words, the visiting time was almost here.
Then Shimabukuro Kimie stood up to say goodbye and left with the prison guards.
Takagi Wataru watched the whole process of this strange visit and was a little confused.
When Mr. Chi came over, he really only said one sentence and then...he was gone?
Don't you care about a few words?
The other party was so cooperative and told me everything about his situation without asking.
It’s no wonder that Mr. Chi’s writing of notes is such a headache. These people must be used to it.
After leaving the prison, Takagi Wataru got into the car, thinking of the trouble he had encountered in the morning, and suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong with you?" Chi Feichi lowered his head and fastened his seat belt.
Ever since they met in the afternoon, Takagi Wataru seemed to be in a low mood, and would occasionally be in a daze or distracted, which was very strange.
"Ah, no, it's nothing." Takagi Wataru shook his head quickly.
He would not tell Chi Feichi that he actually took the afternoon and the day off tomorrow and planned to go on a date with Sato at the tropical paradise. He also bought a ring and prepared to give it away.
As a result, he was caught by his colleagues in the dark room for interrogation in the morning. He couldn't hold on and told him about the date. Fortunately, he was smart and left the tickets for the football match in the desk drawer in advance, so that the vicious colleagues thought they were going. to watch the game, but actually he planned to go to a tropical paradise.
No one can ruin his proposal tomorrow!
Thinking about it, Gao Mushe's eyes became firmer and his mood improved, and he glanced at Chi Feichi secretly.
The same goes for Mr. Chi. He doesn't want to go on a date and meet an acquaintance, which will ruin the atmosphere of their world. Besides, Mr. Chi is very evil. He doesn't want to encounter any cases when he takes a rare vacation to go on a date.
Chi Feichi noticed that Gao Mushe was smiling happily and looking solemn for a while. He did not kiss her again and drove away from the place and rushed to the next destination.
Takagi's mood changed so quickly... Forget it, it was probably a matter of emotion, and he still wanted to see Numabuchi Kiichiro.
Compared to Shimabukuro Kimie, Numabuchi Kiichiro, the 'evil criminal', has not yet been formally sentenced.
Because Kiichiro Numabuchi killed more than one person with no grievances and was highly dangerous. He absconded after committing the crime, causing panic among the public. After Kiichiro Numabuchi was arrested, he also lied about identifying the burial place of another victim and fled once. Although it was to see the fireflies, this reason could not reduce the bad impact of 'escaping', and it could even be said to be quite willful.
Regarding the sentencing of Kiichiro Numabuchi, the prosecutor's opinion has always been the death penalty, but he is very cautious in pronouncing the death penalty. It is difficult for criminals to be sentenced to death. For the sake of fairness, the court also provided Kiichiro Numabuchi with a team of free lawyers as legal aid. , the results of the first and second trials were different. The prosecutor directly referred the prosecution to the Supreme Court. Kiichiro Numabuchi has been detained in a Tokyo prison, living in a separate room, waiting for the next trial.
When Chi Feichi and Takagi Wataru approached the prison authorities to understand the situation, the other party also said that the final result might be the death penalty, and then Numabuchi Kiichiro's lawyer would file an appeal and request a mental evaluation after the case was sent back for retrial...
If they cannot get a non-death penalty result, the lawyer will file many appeals, and both parties will continue to argue between the death penalty and non-death penalty until they have exhausted their appeal opportunities.
Even if it is the death penalty, it must be executed with an execution order signed by the Minister of Justice. Due to political and personal factors, the Minister of Justice will generally refuse to sign an execution order during his tenure and remand the case for retrial.
With so much going on, it will probably take about ten years for the verdict to come down.
"I heard that he is related to some matters of concern to the Ministry of Public Security. There are people over there who have been here. It seems that they don't want him to be sentenced to death so early. The retrial time will be extended forever," Takagi Wataru's classmate from the police academy took the two there. , revealed a little inside story in a low voice on the way, "So I can't say what the outcome will be, and he may really have mental problems."
"Is it about July?" Takagi Sheba asked in a low voice.
The police probably hoped that Numabuchi Kiichiro could provide some clues that outsiders didn't know, so the one he could think of was the clue about 'July'.
Chi Feichi didn't say anything, nor was he surprised.
What the police want to know from Kiichiro Numabuchi may be about the July issue, or it may be about the organization.
The identity of 'July' has been kept secret. Apart from Toru Amuro, the only ones who know about it are the public security committee member and at most one or two senior officials, such as a certain big shot. That level of confidentiality is really high.
However, because the level of confidentiality is too high, many police officers do not know that anyone within the police knows who Qi Qi is. Those who know are inconvenient to directly announce that they will stop investigating Qi Qi. That would appear to be abnormal, and they can only use other things to find Qi Qi. Yue's investigation is slowly being suppressed, so it is possible that someone comes to Numabuchi Kiichiro to ask for clues about Yue.
If you are here to ask about 'July', the level of people who come will not be too high, at least they will not be from Group Zero.
On the contrary, if you come to ask about the organization, the level of the person coming will be higher.
He was more inclined to judge that it had been both.
It doesn't matter whether Kiichiro Numabuchi said he didn't say anything about the organization, because Kiichiro Numabuchi really didn't know much, and Kiichiro Numabuchi didn't give out any clues about 'July', otherwise he would have received the information from the police long ago. .
