Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 28 The reasoning team is resurrected with full health!

The police academy shooting case was declared closed in less than ten days.

The murderer was Kazuo Ishizuka, who shot Chizuru Sakurai; as for Nagano Kawai, she was killed by Chizuru Sakurai.

There are still many doubts in the details of the case. For example, the fingerprints on the pistol do not match those of Ishizuka Kazuo; for another example, the mobile phone left at the scene has call records... But these are not unimportant. The prosecutor only needs the criminal to plead guilty, and the Metropolitan Police Department is happy to go along with it.

It is worth mentioning that Section Chief Kazama was demoted.

The minister really transferred him to be a patrolman, saying that he wanted to temper his temper, otherwise he would get into trouble sooner or later.

On the other hand, Fushimi Shika refused all media interviews and announced that he would be recuperating for a period of time due to injury.

Even so, the reporter named Yazaki Momo still published a special report with the title "The Witch Instructor's Weak Male Lover"... The whole article was full of vulgar and romantic scandals.

To be honest, the appearance of Momo Yazaki was completely beyond his expectations.

In Fushimi Shika's original plan, he should have recuperated comfortably in bed for a while, and would only be detained and interrogated after the police found nothing more.

But unexpectedly, Takusa Kazama did not follow the rules and tortured him away that night.

Fortunately, Yazaki Momo disguised herself as a nurse and used the excuse of a private examination to get rid of the guarding detective, thus gaining five minutes of conversation time. Fushimi Shika had already prepared a script in his mind and told the fabricated story in full, which led to the popular news report.

Back to the day of the crime, Fushimi Shika used a needle to forge fingerprints, dragged the corpse to cover up the secret code left by Nagayakawa, and wrote bloody words on the wall imitating Ishizuka Kazuo's handwriting.

After doing all this, he used Chizuru Sakurai's cell phone to call Kazuo Ishizuka.

"My daughter's funeral was presided over by the Nagano family. Every year during the Obon Festival, I would go to her temple to pay my respects..."

"I envy Kawai, really, really envy her. She was able to find the murderer who killed her relatives. I sincerely hope to see her avenge her relatives... That feeling is like I have done something for my daughter..."

Ishizuka Kazuo burst into tears at the end of his speech.

Fushimi Shika did not persuade her, he just asked calmly: "Do you want Nagano Kawai to be charged with murder after her death? Even if she is dead, her parents still have to bear the pain of losing their daughter and the abuse of the world. Do you want to see such an ending?"

"Of course I don't hope so..."

"Then why did you become her accomplice? Why did you allow her to do such a thing? You wrote the anonymous letter, didn't you? When Yuan Yuzi and I asked about it, you were also hiding it for her, right? You also stole her gun for her, didn't you? You had so many opportunities to persuade her to turn back, but you did nothing."

Although Fushimi Shika was questioning Ishizuka Kazuo, this was also a torture of himself.

He had the opportunity to stop Kawai from taking revenge, but he chose to indulge him.

At the time, he felt that this was Nagano Kawai's personal choice. 'When the law cannot bring justice to the parties involved, private revenge is justified and even noble from this moment on,' so he had no right to interfere.

However, when Nagano Kawai said the four words "I don't hate you", Fushimi Shika realized that he had made an irreparable mistake.

It's too late to undo what has happened.

When Ishizuka Kazuo apologized guiltily, Fushimi Shika interrupted softly, "Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life, or be a hero for a few seconds?"

Ishizuka Kazuo was silent for a long time.

Finally, he answered in the affirmative.

Just as Fushimi Shika promised, all major newspapers portrayed Ishizuka Kazuo as a tragic hero: he had a sense of justice, avenged others, and later voluntarily surrendered himself without implicating anyone else. He was simply the standard character of a tough guy in the Showa era.

When a TV station came to interview the police academy, his colleagues all showed their unique skills in face-changing. They used to think that Ishizuka Kazuo was just an invisible person, but now they say that he is "quiet and powerful", "a man who can do great things", "real celebrities are good at keeping a low profile"... Even his ex-wife said with emotion, "I didn't expect he had endured it for so many years."

In order to avoid suspicion, Fushimi Shika said that he was not feeling well and did not attend Nagano Kawai's funeral. The A-class students' class had a new responsible instructor, a stern middle-aged man. On the first day of his appointment, he informed Fushimi Shika that if the attendance was not enough, the graduation would be postponed, and there would be no discussion even if he was dying of illness.

Half a month later, he was discharged from the hospital.

The heat of the case has died down, and now everyone is discussing who Matsushima Nanako's rumored boyfriend is.

"Congratulations on your recovery! The reasoning team is back to full health!" Yuan Yuzi cheered loudly while holding a fruit basket.

She made a special excuse to ask for leave to pick up Fushimi Shika from the hospital.

"What are you here for?"

Fushimi Shika was not grateful. He had already planned his itinerary and didn't want it to be disrupted by Minamoto Tamako.

"Of course I'm here to pick you up from the hospital. After all, we are partners!"

Yuan Yuzi followed him with a fruit basket, and said to herself, "Although you don't seem happy about it, you're actually thinking that it's lonely to be in the hospital alone, and you hope that a cute girl will pick you up from the hospital... Now that I'm here, you must feel lucky, right?"

"Who said that? How could you have such narcissistic thoughts?" Fushimi Shika complained.

He stood at the medical payment counter, staring at the amount on the bill, feeling his heart bleeding.

——「153500 yen」

Not more, not less, just enough to empty his savings.

Fortunately, he had already paid the school's room and board fees in advance, so he didn't have to worry about food and accommodation for the time being. The problem was that he had no source of income in the first month of work, and he had to make plans for his life after graduation.

How can I make money without leaving school? Fushimi Shikako feels overwhelmed just thinking about it.

"I'm not narcissistic!" Gen Yuzi argued, and then said: "As a future famous police officer, I must care about the physical condition of my partner!"

"The case has been closed long ago. Have you forgotten? We agreed that after finding out the truth, we would terminate our partnership on our own accord..."

Before Fushimi Shika could finish his words, he heard Yuan Yuzi interrupt him and said, "The case is not over yet!"

She said with a serious face, "The real murderer has not been caught yet! Mr. Ishizuka is just a scapegoat. The murderer who wrote the bloody word of heavenly punishment is still at large!"

Fushimi Shika glanced at her, signed the check, and said casually: "Well, I won't ask how you came to this conclusion for now. The police have already announced that the case is closed... I'm just a little curious. Instructor Sakurai killed Kawai, but that mysterious man avenged your friend. Even so, are you going to track him down?"

"In order to maintain the fairness of the law, we must get to the bottom of this matter!" Yuan Yuzi said in a loud voice.

"Even if it goes against the justice in your heart?" asked Fushimi Shika.

"Law is justice!" said Yuan Yuzi.

"Ha!" Fushimi laughed dryly and handed the check through the window. He put his hands in his jacket pockets and walked quickly through the hospital corridor: "Whatever you want, I won't get involved anyway."

"I've paid!" Yuan Yuzi insisted and trotted after him.

"That's the fee for the last case. Instructor Sakurai's case has been investigated thoroughly," Fushimi Shika walked faster and faster. "The shooting case is another case. You can't spend one dollar and ask me to do two things, right?"

"It's okay, I still have a lot of pocket money this month!" Yuan Yuzi ran quickly, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and begged: "I will hire you as my partner again! Please, I will find out the truth no matter what!!"
