Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 123 This is a "Father"

In response to the evidence presented by the legal team, Ninomiya made an impassioned speech, stood up from his seat and strolled around the conference room.

Yuno looked at him and said nothing.

Uno is the second-in-command of the Criminal Division, and Ninomiya is the second-in-command of the Investigation Division 1. However, Uno is one year older than Odagiri, and he has never thought that he can get promoted. In comparison, Ninomiya, who is young and considers himself to be a confidant of Deputy Director Moroboshi, has much stronger ambitions, so he behaves more "bravely" at this time...

Obviously, Ninomiya positioned himself as someone who "charges into battle" for the deputy director, and he can be said to be a typical bureaucratic police officer.

Immediately, Ninomiya looked at Shiraishi Kuro again...

But it turned out that Shiraishi was still playing with his mobile phone.

"Director Shiraishi, the people from the Tani Shige family beat the victim, who is also a witness in this case, in your jurisdiction, right? What do you think about this?" Ninomiya directly carried Shiraishi up.

Bai Shi took a final look at his phone, then stood up and said, "Whether the witness's testimony is true or false, I cannot say for sure..."

Seeing that he was playing dumb, Ninomiya immediately wanted to push him a step further. But before Ninomiya could speak, Shiraishi said, "But for this retrial, I think all the legal professionals here should also listen to the voices from the public, especially... the voice of a father."

Bai Shi looked sentimental.

Uno also looked at him in confusion at this time - in his opinion, Shiraishi should not be so "naive" and should understand very well that these people in front of him cannot be moved by "sensational means".

In the public opinion hype, Hiroyuki Mashima's father was indeed portrayed as a tragic figure by the media and gained a lot of sympathy.

However, finding the prisoner's father to cry about such things will have little impact on the mentality of those present!

Before everyone could wonder what this guy was up to, Bai Shi had already stood up and opened the door of the conference room, and then...

I saw an old man sitting in a wheelchair, with a thin body but still bright eyes, waiting at the door. Bai Shi pulled the wheelchair in directly, and... Bai Shi immediately closed the door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a father who lost his children. I think his wish is to find out the truth and comfort the souls of the dead..." Bai Shi was talking at this time.

but……

The other parties had different expressions at this time.

Karma Hao and the presiding judge showed impatience, especially the latter, who was also wondering... who let that person into the court?

At the same time, the lawyers in the legal team were also wondering...

This isn't Majima Hiroyuki's father either!

Reiko Kujo was also wondering about this matter. She had been following the reports on the case. Although the photos were blurred, the criminal's father should be... stronger than this old man and not so frail, right?

At this time, Ninomiya said: "Old man, I understand your feelings about losing your son..."

Hearing this, the old man in the wheelchair frowned and seemed to want to say something.

However, Ninomiya continued without leaving any room for words: "No one wants to believe that their son is the murderer, but people still have to look forward...

"Excuse me, but I don't know when this trend of 'forcing the police to re-investigate just because someone important to them has died' started. Is it the wish of the deceased to see us continue to make trouble?"

"The investigation of the case has ended, the prosecution and trial have also ended, and the dead will never come back. I think the police and prosecutors have no responsibility to continue to care about the family of the deceased, and they should not waste manpower and resources simply to satisfy the family of the deceased..."

Ninomiya was talking to the old man...

In short, tell him not to be willful and don't think that everyone will give in to you just because your son died!
"And... old gentleman, I must remind you that it has been eighteen years, and I think everyone has forgotten about this matter. If this case has any impact on your family in the future, it will be entirely the responsibility of the person who expanded the impact this time!" Ninomiya said and glanced at the legal team.

Then Ninomiya walked up to the old man, leaned over and said sincerely: "Also, think about it, the family of the victim, Ms. Ono Miki, has finally come out of the pain. In any case, there is an explanation. If you are used by certain people and stand at the cusp of the storm, I am afraid that the Ono family will not let it go... Ouch! You..."

Just when he was halfway through his speech, the old man was trembling with anger. When he approached, he picked up the crutch on the wheelchair and hit him!

Everyone rushed to stop him upon seeing this - although the old man no longer looked aggressive, it was still indecent to see him "beating people" here.

"and many more……"

"Don't do it, don't do it..."

"Wait a minute, old man, you can't..."

In the chaos, Ninomiya, who was hit unexpectedly, suddenly shouted: "You, you... are going too far! Shiraishi Kuro, did you instigate this? We are in a meeting, why did you invite the prisoner's father? His son is dead, so everyone should sympathize with him? You, you are using public opinion to influence the judiciary!"

After hearing this, the old man trembled with anger...

At the same time, because of the noise in the conference room, the person outside the door could no longer stay and quickly pushed the door open.

I saw... two burly men dressed as security guards separating the other people, and a lady dressed as a private nurse came over quickly to calm the old man down.

"Mr. Ono! You can't be angry now..." the private nurse said anxiously.

Everyone:? ? ?
Judging from the look of it, he doesn’t look like Majima Hiroyuki’s father who comes from an “ordinary family”, and…what did the nurse just say?
Ono?

Is it...

At this moment, Onoyama suddenly pushed the nurse away, and then said in a trembling but very firm tone: "Is this... your attitude? Where is Moroboshi Toshio? Is he... fooling me!"

Onoyama was very angry. Although Ninomiya just said that he was "Mashima Hiroyuki's father", but...

The principle is the same!

In short, "dead people are not that important" and "you family members, stop making trouble." This undoubtedly made Ono think of his daughter and thought... Are you police investigating the case seriously? Are you just perfunctorily dealing with me, just like you perfunctorily dealt with the application for retrial?
It was through this case that Toshio Moroboshi got in touch with "Yama no Real Estate". Because of his daughter's case, Ono did trust Toshio Moroboshi before.

Even though Toshio Moroboshi is now the deputy director and doesn't need "Mountain Real Estate" that much, it doesn't mean that he can easily tolerate Ono falling out with him!
Apart from anything else, "Shanzhi Real Estate" has helped him a lot of "unspeakable favors" over the years.

Especially now that Onoyama doesn’t have much time left, no one knows what he will do!
"You...you are...Ono...President Ono?" Ninomiya also stuttered at this time and didn't even bother to cry out in pain.

Onoyama has been in poor health in recent years and has long since retired behind the scenes. He has also lost a lot of weight due to his illness.

If you weren’t an acquaintance and had only seen him in the media before, you really wouldn’t be able to recognize him immediately!

"That's right, everyone...this is the father of the victim, Ms. Miki Ono. I think everyone should consider the feelings of a father who has lost his children." Shiraishi emphasized again.

What do you mean by "the prisoner's father"? Shiraishi never said that!
But at this time, everyone looked strange...

Judging from your tone and rhythm just now, it doesn't sound like you have invited Ono Miki's father!
and……

How did you invite Onoyama?
……

That’s right, of course it was Ayako who set up the connection!
Last night, after Shiraishi got off work, Ayako took him to the Ono family's estate, and Shiraishi was able to communicate directly with Ono Miki's father...

Although Onoyama was indeed as stubborn and obstinate as Ayako said, Shiraishi finally convinced him. In the morning, he heard that Toshio Moroboshi would attend the questioning meeting himself, so... Shiraishi decisively invited old man Ono as well.

When Suzuki Tomoko learned about this visit, she was very angry - after all, Ayako and Shiraishi had no official status and were not engaged, so it was disrespectful for her to bring a man to visit her elders!
Etiquette was secondary. Tomoko was most angry about...

How come this daughter doesn't look like me at all? Wouldn't it make this man even more arrogant if I just took him to Ono's house?
"President Ono...I...am not..."

Chairman Ninomiya was undoubtedly the most panicked at this time. There were some things he could say to Majima Hiroyuki's father but not to Ono Miki's father!
"Director Shiraishi, Mr. Ono needs to rest." The private nurse reminded with a frown.

She had always been dissatisfied with Bai Shi for bringing the old man here.

"Well, I'll see Mr. Ono off. I don't think you'll need me here later." Shiraishi said, and took the initiative to push Onoyama's wheelchair and left the meeting place.

Because of the embarrassing scene just now, no one else tried to stop it...

After leaving the meeting room, Ono reached out to touch Shiraishi's elbow. After Shiraishi squatted down, Ono said with a stern face and glaring eyes: "Little boy...if...Misaki's revenge...can't be avenged...because of you...uh, cough, cough, cough...I will never forgive you!"

Although it lacks logic, in Ono's opinion, if the case of "Hiroyuki Mashima" is overturned successfully but the real murderer has not been arrested, then the fact that his daughter has not been able to get revenge is the fault of those who overturned the case.

It would be better not to tell him that "Hiroyuki Majima is not the real murderer" so that he wouldn't have to leave with regrets.

After all, he was a stubborn person, and now he was old, so there was no point in reasoning with him.

"Don't worry, we will definitely... find the real murderer!" Bai Shi promised solemnly.
