Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 27 Justice is in the hearts of the people
[Hokkaido Police School Big Scandal: The Whole Story of the Murder Case of the Slutty Instructor]

The local newspaper Morning News used this report as its headline and printed it overnight, rushing it out before the murderer turned himself in. As time went by, public opinion began to spread exponentially.

Just looking at the title is enough to attract attention. Office workers passing by the newsstand will pick up a copy. It's 100 yen for a piece of melon and you won't get cheated or fooled.

You don't know until you read it. After opening the newspaper, you will find that this melon is fresher than Yubari melon. The twists and turns of its content, the resentment of the characters, and the richness of its elements are breathtaking. It contains revenge, training, female police officers, female students, and the confession and reflection of the murderer. It can be said to be appreciated by both the elite and the masses, and it can be said to be the best drama of the year.

Early in the morning, the Minister of Criminal Affairs had just cleared out his stool when he was blocked by reporters at the toilet door and questioned.

These guys are like crazy. As long as they hear the hottest and most popular news, they will even dare to break into the police station!
The news spread throughout the industry that the newcomer named Momo Yazaki brought a newspaper that was on the verge of bankruptcy back to life with just this one report!

Only two hours had passed and 70,000 copies of the newspaper had already been sold out - the reporter who could write this report is truly a natural media person!
For local newspapers, the timeliness of news is their lifeline, and speed is everything!
The Minister of Criminal Affairs arrested several leading reporters and came forward to clarify that the report was pure rumor and the case was still under investigation... Before he could finish his words, he was slapped in the face.

The murderer actually went to the police station and surrendered himself.

The criminal minister was so angry that his face turned green. He could imagine what the outside world would say: "Incompetent police group", "Journalists' investigation speed is faster than the police", "Hurry up and make a collective public apology"...

So he asked his subordinates to buy a newspaper, intending to criticize this fabricated article based on hearsay.

Unexpectedly, when he opened it, he found that the report was more detailed than the police investigation progress... Could it be that there was a mole in the newspaper? Or was it that a police officer was earning extra money? Is being a reporter really that lucrative?
"Please transfer me to the criminal office on the second floor."

The criminal department chief called the landline and asked with a gloomy face about the progress of the case of Kazama Takusai. The latter claimed that he had locked the suspect and the murderer who surrendered must be a scapegoat.

The Criminal Minister's expression looked better then, and he then asked him if he had any key evidence.

Takusa Kazama said no.

The criminal department chief's face turned red again, but he was a warning officer after all, and he had to remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe. He made himself a cup of tea, suppressed his anger, and continued to ask Kazama Takusai what the basis for locking in the suspect was.

Takusai Kazama told all his speculations in detail.

"Using a needle to forge fingerprints? You're going to use such nonsense to get away with it? Okay, where's the needle?" asked the minister.

"I haven't found it yet." said Takusai Kazama.

The needle he showed to Fushimi Shika in the interrogation room was actually bought randomly from a grocery store.

……

The criminal minister's blood pressure rose, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. He pinched his brows and ordered:
"Since there is no evidence, let him go."

We must do our best to calm the situation! Otherwise, after he takes his first shit tomorrow morning, he will read in the newspapers about the police torturing innocent practitioners.

Takusai Kazama remained silent. When the minister asked him to reply, he whispered "yes".

The Japanese police want to exercise the right of detention, mainly based on the three categories of regulations: "detention of a criminal in flagrante detainee", "emergency detention" and "detention with a warrant", and the total limit time shall not exceed 72 hours... If we really want to exaggerate, Fushimi Shika does not meet any of the requirements. Kazama Takusai detained him without authorization, which is actually illegal.

"Boss, what should we do?" Watanabe Shun asked, "Should we release them?"

Takusa Kazama hung up the phone, holding the newspaper in his hand, and reading it quickly.

"Chizuru Sakurai ran away from a hit-and-run accident thirteen years ago, running over the dead..."

"The victim's family members searched for him desperately, and they met him at the police academy as if by fate..."

"The former murderer has become an instructor at the police academy. He has not changed his bad habits and is keen on humiliating the trainees..."

"Naganogawa persuaded Sakurai Chizuru to surrender, but was silenced by the instructor..." "Ishizuka Kazuo and Naganogawa fell in love and took revenge for her with a gun..."

"The incompetent police treated the only survivor as a suspect and illegally detained him..."

"Ishizuka Kazuo couldn't bear to see innocent people implicated, so he resolutely chose to surrender..."

……

"..."

So the reason the murderer turned himself in was because he thought the police had arrested the wrong person?
What does "I can't bear to see innocent people oppressed by the police" mean? And what does "the ending of this kind-hearted man is so sad" mean?
"A bunch of idiots!"

Takusa Kazama slammed the newspaper heavily on the table.

He took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to enter the interrogation room when Watanabe Shun hurriedly stopped him: "Boss! Don't get excited! Don't fight!"

"Get out of the way!" Fengjian Takusai's forehead was bulging with veins: "Do you doubt my judgment too?"

Watanabe Shun said anxiously: "This is not a question of whether to judge or not. We have no evidence! The Forensic Science Department just sent a handwriting identification report, saying that the handwriting on the wall is basically the same as Ishizuka Kazuo's handwriting..."

"If fingerprints can be forged, what's the big deal about imitating handwriting?" said Takusai Kazama.

"Calm down, boss! If you beat someone up, you won't be able to investigate the case any further!" Watanabe Shun said earnestly.

Among all the police officers present, he was the only one who dared to persuade Fengjian Takusai to calm down. The others were afraid of getting in trouble and didn't want to be the first to stand out. They sat at their workstations pretending to be busy, but in fact they were secretly watching the fun.

Takusai Kazama stopped and suddenly realized that Fushimi Shika was deliberately provoking him.

The game started from the moment the two met. With Fushimi Shika's psychological quality, he could easily pretend to be panicked and get away with it.

But he didn't.

Fushimi Shika put on an arrogant attitude of "arrest me if you dare", and even threatened to sue Kazama Takusai, just to get into the interrogation room - only by entering the interrogation room will Ishizuka Kazuo surrender, and the content of the report will become the fact in the eyes of everyone.

Takusai Kazama didn't know how he did it.

The landline rang again, and the minister urged him to release the person, saying that a large number of reporters were surrounding the police station gate, filming and interviewing.

Fengjian Takusai opened the blinds and looked downstairs. There were only six or seven people. But this meant that six or seven regular newspapers had started to do special reports.

He sighed heavily, and that feeling of powerlessness came over him again.

"Let him go." Takusa Kazama waved his hand.

Watanabe Shun was overjoyed. He pulled Fushimi Shika up and uncuffed him. He didn't have to return any of his personal belongings because Fushimi Shika came in wearing a hospital gown and didn't bring anything with him.

Fushimi Shika flexed his wrist and signed neatly.

A moment later, he walked out of the police station under the escort of the police. Reporters surrounded him and rushed to interview him. Kazama Takusai turned on the TV and changed channels continuously. There was actually a reporter broadcasting live.

"...A shooting incident occurred at the Hokkaido Police Academy last night. A student was arrested as a suspect, but was released this morning due to insufficient evidence. We are now connecting with reporters for an interview... Do you have anything to say?"

Takusai Kazama stared at the TV screen. Fushimi's handsome face looked a little tired. He smiled gently and said to the camera:
"Justice lies in the heart of the people."
