Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 283 Transformation
February 2th, 15 p.m., the second interrogation room of Mihua Bureau.

"Mr. Kamei, let me tell you straight away... it was you who moved Mr. Hachiya's body to the unmanned warehouse, right?" Yuan asked Kamei Yukichi directly.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about... Even if you treated me to dinner three times, you can't just let me take the blame for a murder case, right?" Kamei shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, as if the matter really had nothing to do with him.

"No, it's not a murder case, Mr. Fengya... it should be suicide." Yuan said firmly at this time.

Kamei paused at this point, but still retorted: "You're getting weirder and weirder... Then why should I move his body?"

"Of course it's because of the letter of accusation, or... Mr. Kamei, you just can't accept that Mr. Hochiya's death was so worthless, right?" Yuan asked back.

If we strictly follow the procedures, Yuan's current question may be misleading.

However, after hearing this, Kamei remained silent.

Seeing this, Yuan continued, "That's why you, Mr. Kamei, would rather give up the opportunity to get your life back on track, and..."

"No." Kamei interrupted.

Without waiting for Yuan to ask, Kamei said, "It's not that I would rather give up, but... the reason why I had the unrealistic thought of 'maybe I can start over' at that time was because of Fengya's encouragement."

There were two times when Kamei "stayed outside for a relatively long time", one was when he was first released from prison, and the other was a year ago.

On the one hand, it was because the "cooperative employer system" gave him hope. On the other hand, and more importantly, it was because he got to know Feng Ya and began to believe in this hope.

"Feng Ya is different from the rest of us. Although he was in jail once, he didn't give up. Not only did he not give up on his life, but he also didn't give up on his sense of justice...

"But... maybe because of this, after he was threatened and framed by [Takigawa Foods], he committed suicide."

Kamei finally admitted it at this time!

"You were the first one to discover it? Then why not..." Yuan asked regretfully.

Kamei also directly interrupted and replied: "Why not call the police? Little officer, we are criminals, and they are a charity organization backed by a big shot who took us in!

"How could anyone believe us? Even if we call the police, the final result will be that someone will commit suicide out of fear of being punished for stealing rice, right?"

source:……

Faced with Kamei's statement, Yuan was also helpless.

Although he dared to say that if it was in the Mihua Agency, he would definitely investigate the truth, but the problem was...

The truth is that it was suicide!

How can a dead person clear himself of the charge of “theft with surveillance evidence”?

As for the report on [Takigawa Foods], it is not the police's responsibility at all...

"So... Mr. Kamei, you moved the body and not only created confusion at the scene, but also hid it in prison to avoid being questioned by the police?" Yuan officially confirmed at this time.

Kamei nodded without hiding anything at this time and said, "That's right..." Then he shook his head and said, "But saying that I hid in prison is a bit too flattering for me. For me, it's like going home. After seeing the body of that guy Fengya, I wanted to go home."

"I'm saying, everyone in Mihua Prison is talented and speaks well, right? I just heard the prisoners talking privately. If the cause of death cannot be found, it will be difficult for the police to close the case. They also heard some tricks of moving corpses by themselves and interfering with the investigation.

source:……

What the hell were those bastards talking about in jail?
"Huh? Mr. Kamei was in Beika Prison last time?" Yuan remembered that his hometown was in Minami-Senju.

"That's right, because I ate a free meal at Mihua... In fact, I started doing this a long time ago. It's not that Mihua's food is good, but I have lived in prisons of all sizes in Dongdu, and Mihua Prison has the most talented people!" Kamei said very experiencedly.

source:……

If you go to jail in the East Island Country, you may be assigned to a prison near the crime scene or where you live.

"Let's continue talking about the case!" Yuan said helplessly.

"At that time, I just happened to know that the warehouse had been abandoned, so I thought it would be great if I could hide it until it was demolished and then be discovered."

"Although they were eventually discovered ahead of time, it was not too early. This gave me the opportunity to throw Fengya's wallet and phone into the trash of Takigawa after I was released from prison."

Kamei was talking at this time.

"How did you throw it in?" Yuan asked at this time.

Kamei paused and then said: "I also learned skills from the people inside. I sneaked into his house and threw it into his trash can..."

"No, it's Yamakawa Akira who is cooperating with you, right?" Yuan said seriously at this time.

"Who is Yamakawa Akira? I don't even know anyone with the last name Yamakawa..." Kamei started to be shameless again.

"Mr. Kamei..." Yuan was also helpless at this time, not because Kamei did not admit it, but because he had to reveal it.

……

On the other side, the No. 3 retrieving room.

Shiraishi personally sat at the interrogation table, giving Yamakawa Akira a "familiar feeling of oppression."

However, this time, Yamakawa Akira's performance was completely different from six years ago.

Six years ago, Yamakawa Akira was obviously scared, but he was more afraid of his boss than the police, so he was afraid to tell the truth...

But this time, there was more "calmness" in his expression.

Of course, this is also because Shiraishi did not take the initiative to intimidate, but just sat on the big chair he customized - there are several of this kind of chairs in the police station, and there is also a special one in the investigation room.

After all, Bai Shi would look around from time to time...

"You've already decided to live a good life, right? Why are you doing this?" Shiraishi asked regretfully.

This is more of a leading question, but...

Shiraishi knew after seeing Yamakawa Akira's expression that he would not lie this time, and Shiraishi would not let him off the hook when there was surveillance evidence. Although this matter could be big or small, and considering that there were reasons for it, the prosecutors might not prosecute in the end, but after several investigations, it would be a fatal blow to "a rehabilitated person who was about to get his life back on track."

As long as he starts the investigation and the people around him find out, all his previous efforts will be in vain, and the Ministry of Justice will definitely not coordinate with his "cooperating employer" anymore.

"Officer Shiraishi, you know... I really understand you now." Yamakawa said somewhat excitedly.

"Huh?" Bai Shi was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Shanchuan to suddenly say this.

and……

In Shiraishi's impression, Yamakawa, this bastard, is always timid, secretly looking at people during interrogation, and is always the "first suspect"...

But this time, he was rather eager!
"The Fuman couple brought their child to visit me and thank me... When I looked at that healthy and lively child, I had a magical feeling...

“It turns out that what I did back then would eventually allow a little life like this to survive and grow up… I just felt it was an impulse back then, but now I suddenly feel it’s real.

"I have to say, 'justice' is really an addictive thing. Although I was exploited by [Takigawa Foods] and did some bad things, I didn't dare to resist and never thought about resisting. Even when you sent me back to work, all I wanted was to continue like this, at least I could live a relatively normal life..."

Shanchuan was talking at this time, and Shiraishi couldn't help but interrupt: "Being forced to do high-intensity, isolated labor is not considered a normal life, right?"

"Eh? Aren't many cows and horses like this in society? I see that the police officers in the Beihua Police Station also have a very high intensity of work..." Yamakawa asked back as a matter of course.

Shiraishi:……

Who the hell do you want to say is being exploited?

“Of course, the police officers of the Mihua Police Department are different from us… After all, you are maintaining social stability, but what are we doing?
“Since my thoughts began to change, I couldn’t stand my behavior for even a day, and… seeing more ex-offenders become accomplices of crime again in their conspiracy, and even faced threats, I couldn’t sit idly by!

"So I not only resigned from [Takigawa Foods], but also started to take the driver's license test. I originally wanted to be a truck driver directly, but for a criminal like me, it was too difficult to find a truck driver job, so I had to settle for the next best thing and find a job as a garbage truck driver..."

Shiraishi:? ? ?
Why the hell are you talking bigger and bigger?

Originally, there was an element of luck in this incident - Kamei happened to meet Yamakawa near President Takigawa's house, and Yamakawa helped him inexplicably. Otherwise, it would be impossible not to check the surveillance for such a thing as "the deceased's wallet and mobile phone were found in the garbage", and Kamei's frame-up would be completely meaningless.

However, thanks to Yamakawa's assistance, this "frame-up" was actually concealed from the police for a time.

But why did Kamei happen to be there and met Yamakawa who was not at work at the time? Shiraishi thought it was "good luck", but who knew...

Now it seems that Yamakawa clearly wants President Takigawa to "get lucky", which is why he is hanging around?
In this case, it is easy to imagine why Yamakawa would so naturally assist Kamei in completing an almost perfect frame-up.

only……

"So you cooperated with Kamei, whom you met for the first time, in order to take revenge... no, to expose the dark side of [Takigawa Foods]?" Shiraishi interrupted.

Otherwise, what these mountains and rivers reveal is already a bit "scary".

Yamakawa was silent for a moment, then said, "That's right, but it wasn't for revenge or to expose... It was more because Mr. Kamei, after knowing that I was also a criminal, told me about Mr. Hachiya."

Sure enough, Yamakawa met Kamei by chance at that time - it was not that the two of them really met by chance, but the "coincidence" was that they were probably both following President Takigawa!
Yamakawa was just trying to stop Kamei, the sneaky old man...

However, after the two knew each other's identities, Yamakawa heard what Kamei said and realized that this was President Takigawa's home. He then had a "good idea" and did not continue with his plan of taking chances. Instead, he switched shifts with others to collect garbage here and complete the "just punishment" for Kamei.

It was not the encounter with Kamei that interrupted Shanchuan's peaceful life, but Kamei gave Shanchuan a much more harmonious choice!

Shiraishi:……

At this time, Shiraishi didn't know whether this change was a good thing for Yamakawa Akira and for society.

If he was also Shiraishi's subordinate, Shiraishi would probably see by now that his [Justice] has exceeded the limit.

If any of the “heart” is too high or too low, people will become crazy…

"Huitani, just ask more about the things related to the case. You don't need to remember anything else." Bai Shi didn't want to say anything more at this time. He just got up and left.

After all, it's just a matter of going through the motions and there's no need for Shiraishi to say anything in person.

In fact, Shiraishi didn't need to interrogate Yamakawa. As an "acquaintance", Shiraishi really wanted to know why he did this...

Now Bai Shi already knows.

However, Shiraishi also doesn't know whether it would be better for society to have more of the Yamakawa Akira who was timid and occasionally even did despicable things, or more of the Yamakawa Akira who was full of justice and might demand "justice" at any time.

One of Shiraishi's strengths is that he does not regard himself as an omniscient and infallible god, nor does he think that he can judge everything subjectively...

Since he “doesn’t know”, Bai Shi won’t judge.

Since he “didn’t know”, Shiraishi would not do anything else but just handle the case at hand.

This is all Shanchuan did in this case. The Beihua Agency would not cover up for him, and there was no need to "raise the level", so there was the final reminder to Huigu.

Of course, in addition to this kind of thing where he doesn't know right from wrong, Shiraishi also has a deep self-judgment in this case...

Before getting off work, Shiraishi left the police station early, but he did not leave early. Instead, he went to the Toudu Prosecutor's Office in person - for the director, this also counts as work, right?

When the people from the Procuratorate saw that "Rice Flower King Kong" actually came in person, they also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy!
It's not that I'm afraid that this King Kong will suddenly go crazy and climb up the prosecutor's office building to masturbate, nor am I afraid of his physique, but...

Afraid of his purpose!
As the Director of Mihua, Mihua has had many jaw-dropping inspections.

But Director Mihua has not come in person yet!
More importantly, Bai Shi did not hide his identity at this time, or rather... it seemed that he wanted to show off himself by swaggering in from the front door.

When Shiraishi deliberately wanted to show off, it was hard for anyone not to notice him, and there were reporters squatting outside the prosecutor's office at any time!

Dongdong: That’s all I have… some of it was typed on a mobile phone, so there may be many typos. I’ll correct them later.

The past three days were not smooth sailing at all, and it can even be said to be full of twists and turns... Not only did the natural delivery turn into a cesarean section, but there was also a small accident after the baby was born in the early morning. I was almost scared to death at the time, but fortunately everything is fine now...

I was so scared that I couldn't sleep the whole night. I didn't sleep until the afternoon when I was sure that nothing was wrong. I took a short nap. That's all for today. I went to the hospital to take over the job of taking care of my wife in the evening. I'm not sure about the time and amount of updates tomorrow.
