Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 50 I'm not in the mood to hear your insincere apologies
At the police station, several officers were standing in the monitoring room, watching the footage from three interrogation rooms.

"We found the information. The boy is an orphan, and his adoptive mother, Yoshiko Uta, passed away eight years ago. The girl was adopted by Yuko Matsushima. As for this Kayano..."

Looking at the surveillance footage, the beautiful girl, clearly terrified and trembling like a leaf, lowered her head and cried silently as she faced police questioning, biting her lip tightly and remaining completely silent during the interrogation.

"We contacted her parents, but one of them was completely indifferent and told us to find her father, while the other was drunk and treated her like a complete stranger."

"Continuing to interrogate like this isn't a solution; it will leave the child with psychological trauma."

A subordinate's voice sounded reluctant. Asahi Junfu crossed his arms and looked into the interrogation room. He rubbed his temples and sighed heavily. Then he looked at Jia Yezi, who was facing interrogation, looking terrified, helpless, and pitiful.

"Three lives lost, and three wanted criminals, and they just started killing each other out of nowhere. How can we explain this without getting to the bottom of it?"

Asahi Junfu rubbed his temples. He didn't want to interrogate such a delicate girl so intensely, but the matter was just too complicated.

After answering his subordinate's question, Toshifuku Asahi looked towards the other two interrogation rooms.

Uta Kassapa, who was very cooperative and engaged in a back-and-forth conversation with the police, and Fukie, who was bored and being coaxed into answering questions by the two policemen.

Asahi Junbok frowned and looked at his subordinate beside him.

"Tell Yoshida and Tomoyoshi to be careful. This is work, not picking up girls!"

"Hi!"

However, shortly after Asahi Toshifuku issued his order, Kiwa Arima, dressed in a suit, barged in with his secretary.

"Governor Kiwa, what brings you here?"

Asahi Toshifuku knew Takawa Arima; as the head of Osaka Prefecture, it would be difficult for someone within the system not to know him.

"You must be Director Tomorrow? Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what we should do!"

After a brief greeting, Kiwa Arima looked at Asahi Toshifuku and said with a light smile.

"Here's the thing, I came here today to ask how the case investigation is going? If everything is alright, I'd like to take Miss Fukie and the others with me."

Upon hearing this, Tomorrow Junfu was taken aback and frowned slightly as he glanced at his subordinates who were investigating the backgrounds of the individuals.

Faced with Toshifumi Asahi's questioning gaze, the subordinate felt somewhat bewildered and aggrieved.

"That might not work; these people are all very involved."

Before he could finish speaking, someone walked in from outside the door.

"Chief, there's a phone call."

"Excuse me, Governor Kiwa, I need to take this call."

Kiwa Arima smiled gently, indicating that Toshifuku should do as he pleased.

One minute later, Toshifuku returned.

"So now, can I leave with my men?"

"That's natural."

After finishing speaking, Toshifumi Asahi immediately looked at his subordinates.

"Chief, them..."

"Let go!"

The subordinate's hesitation was met with a stern rebuke from Toshifuku Asahi. Takakasa Arima patted him on the shoulder and walked to the door of the interrogation room.

"You've gone to so much trouble."

As Fukie emerged from the interrogation room, she glanced at the respectful Kiwa Arima and frowned slightly.

"Kasyapa?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Utakayo smiled and said goodbye to the two policemen in the interrogation room before walking out.

"Your Excellency the Governor."

"No, Mr. Uta can just call me Ima."

Uta Kasyapa glanced at Fukie.

"Then I'll call you Brother Arima."

Kiwa Arima smiled with delight upon hearing this, and was about to exchange pleasantries with Uta Kasyapa when Fukie's unpleasant voice suddenly rang out.

"They tortured you?!" The two looked over at the sound and saw Jiayezi with tears streaming down her face. Uta Kasaya felt sorry for her and went over to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Jia Yezi, still reeling from fear, twitched occasionally, her hands nervously twisting into a knot in front of her lower abdomen. Seeing this, Fu Jiang gave the two policemen who came out of the interrogation room a cold look.

"Governor Arima, I remember that police officers are held accountable if they use torture to extract confessions, right?"

"Yes, if illegal means are used, they will be punished."

Kiwa Arima glanced at Fukie, whose expression was frighteningly cold, then looked at Asahi Toshifuku and gave him a look. Upon receiving the look, Asahi Toshifuku immediately ordered his subordinates to apologize to Kayoko.

However, instead of apologizing to Jia Yezi, the two subordinates started to make excuses.

“We did not use any illegal means against Ms. Jia Yezi, we were just asking her a normal question, and the fact that she didn’t say anything was simply because Ms. Jia Yezi was too nervous.”

"nervous?"

Fukie glanced at Asahi Toshifuku with a half-smile, then turned to Kiwa Arima and said sarcastically.

"Governor Arima, do I look like an idiot?"

Kiwa Arima looked at Fukue's expression and his heart skipped a beat.

"You bastards! If you hadn't used some underhanded tactics, Miss Jia Yezi wouldn't be in this state! Apologize to me right now!"

Before Kiwa Arima could speak, Asahi Toshifuku, who had realized that Fukie's identity might not be simple, immediately roared at his subordinates.

Seeing this, the two subordinates looked at Asahi Junfu with aggrieved expressions, thinking to themselves, "Didn't you ask us to use this girl as a breakthrough point?"

We are so sorry.

"no need!"

Before they could finish apologizing, Fujang suddenly raised her hand to interrupt them.

"I have no interest in hearing your insincere apologies, and I don't want to see you."

After saying that, Fujang pulled Jia Yezi, who was standing to the side with tears in her eyes, and grabbed Utakayo and walked away.

Kiwa and Arima glanced at the two young policemen, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, while Asahi Toshifuku patted them on the shoulder.

"Find them a quiet and peaceful place to go."

Before Asahi Junboku could react, Guihe immediately turned around and chased after them with his secretary.

In the park not far from the police station, Fukie arranged for Taka and Arima to take people to deliver the camping equipment back to Uta Kayo's house, while she and Uta Kayo sat in the park with Kayoko.

On a park bench, I watched as Kayanoko, comforted by Uta Kasyapa, slowly relaxed from her tension.

"You didn't say anything out of fear, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Yezi immediately shook her head vigorously.

"No, I... I didn't say anything!"

Fu Jiang rubbed her temples.

"You didn't say a single word the whole time, did you?"

Jia Yezi nodded.

"Fujiang, you told me not to say anything."

"."

"Actually, you could have said a little something."

Jia Yezi shook her head vigorously upon hearing this.

"No, no...they'll arrest Fu-jiang."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jiang looked at Jia Yezi, who seemed to have a somewhat one-sided personality, with a mixture of helplessness and amusement.

It means you shouldn't say anything carelessly, not that you shouldn't say anything at all.

Okay, maybe we misunderstood those two police officers. Facing a suspect who won't say anything, it can be quite stressful.

But it doesn't matter anymore, if it's a mistake, it's a mistake.

Fu Jiang looked at Jia Yezi, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and thought, "She's such a fool."
