Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 104 Fictional Reasoning
By the time Fushimi Shika had finished interrogating everyone, it was already past 4 a.m.

Inagawa Yuhiro and others had long been impatient and were clamoring for Fushimi Shika to produce the results. Fushimi Shika calmly sorted out the notes, pretending that he had not heard anything.

It was not until the bald man ran out of patience and pointed his gun at Fushimi Shika's head that he slowly raised his head and said, "I have found the murderer."

Kaga Keito glanced at Satake Gen without leaving a trace. The latter closed his eyes and looked calm, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Really? I advise you to think it over before you speak." Kazama Takusai kindly reminded.

"There's nothing to think about. This case is simple and clear. There's no need to make it so complicated." Fushimi Lu folded up all the transcripts and arranged them neatly on the table.

Yes, that's it, exposing my conspiracy... Gen Satake opened his eyes.

Next, Fushimi Shika should use "fictional" reasoning to make everyone believe that he is the real murderer.

And Gen Satake was also prepared, intending to confess his purpose before his death: he assassinated Seijiro Inagawa in order to throw the dirty water on Takamasa Ishii - he wanted to step on the corpses of two people to rise to the top.

Only when he is exposed can Ishii Takamasa be cleared of suspicion.

"The murderer is dead." Fushimi Shika continued.

"..."

"?"

You could hear a pin drop in the room, and everyone was waiting for Fushimi Shika's next words.

He stood up, touched the body of the woman in kimono with his foot, and reiterated: "Yes, she is dead."

"——What a joke!" Inagawa Yuhiro slammed the table and stood up: "How could Himeno be the murderer?! How could she betray her father!!"

"Then how do you think the murderer could have poisoned the cup in front of the toasting people?" Fushimi Shika asked back, "There were so many people in the room, so the murderer could only have poisoned the cup in advance. The cup was prepared by this woman, and she was also responsible for pouring the wine, so who else could it be but her?"

Yuhiro Inagawa was choked for a moment, as this touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

Satake Gen opened his eyes and looked at Fushimi Shika with a bit more confusion.

Kaga Keito watched coldly for a while, then suddenly asked, "If that's the case, then what's the point of your interrogation? Isn't it a waste of time to have us take notes?"

Fushimi Shika wanted to imitate Gen Tamako and strike the "There is only one truth" pose, which was just like calling out the name of a move when taking action. It was simply a human instinct. But he thought about it and felt that it was too childish, so he gave up.

"Because I want to find out who ordered this woman to poison me," Fushimi Shika looked at Satake Gen from a distance, the corners of his mouth rising continuously, and the latter had a bad premonition in his heart: "I think everyone here has the answer in their hearts, right?"

Yuhiro Inagawa was startled and suddenly fell silent; Kenichi Ouchi's forehead was sweating and his eyes were rolling around; Zhao Chunshu was still in a daze in the corner, not knowing whether it was because he couldn't understand Japanese...

The bald man didn't understand and asked Fushimi Shika to explain.

"I heard that the president of your society is a playboy, and he is very good at dealing with women."

As Fushimi said this, he brought the transcript closer to the candle. The pages flew and burned in front of everyone, and ashes filled the room. Satake Gen's temples throbbed, and he realized that he had messed up.

The man in front of me must have done it on purpose. This guy is not investigating the case at all, but looking for his motive for surrendering!
"Some time ago, someone under the chairman's command embezzled a large sum of money. Everyone knows the details of what happened, so I don't need to explain it in detail." Fushimi's eyes moved around, and everyone subconsciously looked away, not wanting to look at him. "Someone told me that Mr. Satake helped Ishii Takamasa find out the truth."

Kazama Takusai was confused: "Who is Ishii Ryuki?"

No one paid any attention to him, not even Fushimi Shika was too lazy to answer.

Kenichi Ouchi wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help asking, "Who said that?"

"You all have the transcripts in your hands, you can look at them yourself!" Fushimi Shika said with a smile.

Everyone exchanged glances, but no one suggested exchanging the transcript. They realized belatedly that after Fushimi Shika burned the other copy, the transcript had no reference value - because everyone had deleted or modified the contents of the transcript, it was like a diary, and writing it down was a lie for people to read.

"I declare in advance that the following content is purely personal subjective conjecture and is for personal reference only. I have no intention of instigating, slandering, framing, or spreading rumors..."

Fushimi Shika read the legal disclaimer very quickly, as if he was reciting a passage, and then announced the "truth": "Mr. Inagawa suspected that the current president, Ishii Takamasa, was an undercover police agent... Of course, I don't know whether it was true or not, but anyway, there was a conflict between the two, and Ishii Takamasa wanted to kill her, so he ordered this woman to strike first..."

"What nonsense!" Satake Genshu shouted.

Everyone looked back and saw that Gen Satake had taken off his glasses, his face was red, and his jaw muscles were bulging. It was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

"Oh? Wasn't it Mr. Satake who suggested that I conduct the investigation? Why are you not satisfied with the results now?" Fushimi Shika said jokingly.

The others did not refute. Seeing this, Satake Gen kicked over the small table and roared at everyone, saying that he was the murderer and that he was the one who poisoned and that it had nothing to do with Ishii Takamasa.

But everyone remained silent and looked at him with sympathy. Even the bald man did not raise his gun.

"I know that you and Ishii Takamasa are like brothers," Inagawa Yuhiro stood up and patted his shoulder: "But now that things have come to this, you must not protect that guy anymore." He paused, his eyes cold and said: "The hatred for killing your father is irreconcilable. I respect your loyalty, which side you want to stand on, you can choose it yourself."

The breath in Satake Gen's chest escaped, he gradually became weak, and the blood in his veins grew colder inch by inch.

As an outsider, Fushimi Shika could see that in this werewolf game, regardless of whether the werewolves had swordsmen at night or not, Ishii Takamasa was destined to be voted out.

The bald man left the room with his men, intending to find Ishii Takamasa to avenge his blood debt.

Satake Gen woke up as if from a dream, he hurriedly stood up and wanted to inform Ishii Ryumasa to escape, but was pushed to the ground by Ouchi Kenichi and Zhao Chunshu. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, both advised him to wake up and not to have anything to do with the traitor anymore.

Satake Gen shouted that I was the traitor, and he angrily scolded himself for betraying his brothers;
In the first half of his life, he told himself again and again not to learn from fools, not to pursue fame and fortune, not to be defeated by his own weaknesses, and not to pursue those illusory friendships - now, he finally admitted defeat to this damn world.

Satake Gen's head was pressed on the tatami, his face was squashed, and his body was pressed by the other two people so that he couldn't move. Fushimi Shika walked forward, squatted down, tilted his head, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, I had a great time."
