Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 72 Soul Trial
Watanabe Shun was the first to come to support.

When he arrived at the scene, Fushimi Shika had been surrounded by a few hooligans. He stepped forward, dispersed the onlookers, learned the general situation from other residents, and held down the younger generation's hand that was about to draw his gun: "Be patient."

"That's right! The most important thing for a patrolman is patience!" Nagashima Tsuyoshi was wearing a work uniform, with a lot of fat and a beard on his cheeks. He shone a flashlight on Fushimi Ka's face, put his hands on his hips and tilted his head, and said, "Are you going to arrest me for obstructing public service?"

Watanabe Shun glared at him, but Nagashima Zhigang didn't care. He had no choice but to stand in front of Fushimi Shika, staring into the eyes of this junior, and whispered: "It is common for police officers to be provoked by scumbags. They are insulted, grabbed by the collar, and tripped... It's not surprising to encounter these things."

"Yes, yes, listen carefully to the teachings of your seniors!" Nagashima Tsuyoshi raised his head, looked over Watanabe Shun's shoulder and looked at Fushimi Shika.

Watanabe Shun pressed Fushimi Shika's hand hard, and he spoke faster and faster: "Even if you arrest him for obstructing public service, you still have to submit a letter of service, a victim application, an accident scene investigation report, a criminal record inquiry record, a criminal arrest procedure, a detention decision, an interrogation record... at least fifteen documents must be written! It is not worth spending so much time and energy on a scumbag. The police must be prepared to endure what ordinary people cannot endure. This is the teaching from Senior Kazama!"

"That's right, it's not illegal for residents to talk! While it's still hot, do you want to have some too—"

Before Nagashima Tsuyoshi finished speaking, Watanabe Shun suddenly turned around, grabbed his collar, and headbutted him to the ground. Then he raised his fists and beat Nagashima Tsuyoshi left and right, causing his head to bleed.

Several other residents on the third floor wanted to stop them, but when they saw Fushimi Shika sweeping his eyes around and holding the police gun in his right hand, they dared not move. Only one person was a little braver and shouted to the outside of the alley: "The police are beating people!!"

It was not until the detectives came to support him that Watanabe Shun let go of Nagashima Tsuyoshi's collar. He shook off the blood on his hands and said to Fushimi Shika: "The above is what the boss asked me to tell you. But I think I am also a senior and qualified to teach the newcomers."

While Shun Watanabe was speaking, some residents pointed at him and complained to the detectives who came. Two detectives handcuffed Shun Watanabe and asked the paramedics to look after Tsuyoshi Nagashima. The forensic officers took photos for evidence and put Yukimura Aoi's body into a body bag.

"Listen carefully! This is the teaching from Senior Watanabe: If you see someone you don't like, punch them! Only when you beat them into submission will they be afraid of you!"

When he was taken into the police car, he did not forget to show off and adjusted his haircut towards Fushimi Lu.

After the criminal police finished taking the statement and handling the scene, everyone dispersed and the apartment building became quiet, as if nothing had happened.

As usual, this falling case fell into the hands of the Toyota District Police Station. Yamaguchi Takamasa was in charge of handling a girl's corpse abuse case that was at the center of public opinion, and he had no energy to deal with this suicide case, so he handed it over to his subordinates.

The criminal police in charge of the case did not take it seriously. After recording the residents' statements and confirming that Xuecun Kuihua jumped off the building on her own, he closed the case as suicide. As the residents had said, every once in a while someone would jump off the building in Sugamo Apartment due to dissatisfaction with their life. It has almost become a famous supernatural check-in attraction, and the criminal police are unable to control it.

Afterwards, when Nagashima Tsuyoshi woke up from the hospital, he immediately complained about Watanabe Shun and Fushimi Shika, which led to their suspension for investigation.

Fushimi Shika was lucky. He followed the patrol regulations and fired a warning shot. The second shot did not hit anyone. At most, it was considered dereliction of duty. If Nagashima Tsuyoshi did not sue, the punishment would most likely be a warning or a pay cut.

But Watanabe Shun is in trouble, he is definitely guilty of assault. If it was just a fight with the Yakuza, it would be fine, people in the underworld follow the rules, and they won't call the police if they lose, but they are afraid of encountering a rogue like Nagashima Tsuyoshi who knows a little about the law. It is said that he is already looking for a public prosecutor and is preparing to sue civil servants. During Fushimi Shika's suspension, Minamoto Tamako has been comforting him, saying that it was not his fault that Yukimura Aoi jumped off the building, and asked him not to blame himself; she also said that she has been persuading the director and there has been some progress. The other party has been moved. If she works hard for a few more days, the director may change his mind and pay attention to the case...

Fushimi Shika didn't reply.

After Yuan Yuzi finished nagging, he closed the door, walked into the bathroom, and looked at himself in the mirror.

In fact, he didn't feel guilty at all. What did Xuecun Kuihua's desire to jump off the building have to do with him? It's not like he had never seen someone commit suicide by jumping off a building.

In his previous life, he met a migrant worker who was demanding his wages. He kidnapped his boss’s son and stood on the rooftop shouting at the contractor to pay back the money.

"My daughter is dying of illness! I just want to buy her some dumplings on New Year's Eve! That's my hard-earned money. What's wrong with me taking my own money back?!"

After the man finished shouting, someone below shouted, "Your daughter is dead. She just recovered from a high fever last night. If you don't believe me, release her and go home to have a look." After hearing this, the man was stunned for about five minutes. He let go of the hostage and jumped down from the building.

Fushimi Shika was the developer's defense lawyer at the time. He also needed to make money and eat. He did not break any law. What was wrong with defending his client? Who can say he was wrong? What did he have to do with other people jumping off the building? He had already told Xuecun Kuihua not to jump, he had already fired a warning shot, he had done his job, why did he still feel guilty?
"Of course you don't feel guilty." Kawai's voice sounded in his ears again.

Fushimi Shika raised his head and saw a reflection in the mirror. The devil man materialized and appeared before him, sitting on his shoulders and shaking his legs.

"You just want to kill him." Kawai said again.

"I didn't." said Fushimi Shika.

"When you were choosing your rank, did you notice Instructor Shirata's expression? You knew this place was dangerous, but you chose to lie to yourself. During the graduation exam, you knew the consequences of a punctured tire, but for a moment you were really immersed in it... You can fool yourself for a while, but you can't fool yourself forever."

Kawai's voice seemed to drill into his ears, echoing in his brain along the inner wall of his skull.

"Why do you like cases? Why do you like to watch crime? If you want an easy life, why do you want to be a patrolman? Birds of a feather flock together. Admit it, you are ready to do something... As I said before I died, your hatred is purer than mine."

"You don't sympathize with the victims, otherwise you wouldn't have dragged the situation to an irreversible point. Rather, you are expecting this to happen... You hate them. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. Whether they are perpetrators or victims, you have the same disgust."

"Admit it, admit it. Only by judging your own soul can you punish the bodies of others."
