In Soul Society, I just want to retire

Yumiko's reactions were strange from beginning to end.

She had tried her best to protect her husband in Central Room 46 before, but now she seemed to be indifferent.

After knowing that her husband was going to be executed, she left home in a hurry, apparently wanting to find someone.

The two people followed quietly behind, and Yumiko actually came all the way to the outskirts of Rukongai, took out a letter from her sleeve, and pressed it in the tree hole of a big tree. Finally, she looked around to make sure that no one noticed, and then left quickly, acting as if nothing had happened.

Mako Hirako didn't expect that she would have an unexpected gain.

"As expected of an old witch who has lived for four hundred years, she is quite capable." Mako Hirako looked at Yaoba Chiyo.

"I can tell from the look in your eyes that you must be thinking about something rude." Yaoba Chiyo muttered.

"How is that possible? I was praising you for being cute in my heart." Hirako Mako smiled, and then secretly added "old witch" in her heart.

After Yumiko left, the two of them continued to wait, wanting to see who would come to take the letter, but they waited until dark and no one came to take the letter away.

Finally, Yaoba Chiyo couldn't help it anymore.

"I'll go see what's written in the heart." Yaoba Chiyo strode over and took the letter.

Mako Hirako was also very curious about what was written in the letter.

The two men opened the envelope.

After reading it, the two looked at each other, and Yaoba Chiyo felt a strong sense of gossip in her heart.

"I didn't expect this to be so exciting!" Yaoba Chiyo said in surprise.

This letter only has a few short sentences, but the content is very explosive.

"My damned husband is dying. Our plan has succeeded. Tomorrow I will retract my confession in Central Office 46. After he dies, we will both flee far away."

Mako Hirako was so excited that this was his biggest gain since he took over the case.

Do all these ladies spend so much money?

Her husband was about to be executed, but she actually wanted to elope with her lover.

Chapter 149: Reversal

Unfortunately, no one came to pick up the letter until the end. Yaoba Chiyo couldn't stand the mosquitoes and ran away long ago. Hirako Mako almost did some charity for the mosquitoes, but in the end, she had to go home because no one came to pick up the letter.

But this letter is already a huge gain.

When the second hearing of Central Office 46 begins, it will be time for him to make the final move.

……

three days later.

The second hearing of Central Office 46 took place.

Ryunosuke Kusakawa looked very listless and staggered. He always thought that he was dead. If he could not produce new evidence in these three days, he would definitely be found guilty by the Central 46th Office.

"Could it be... that I really killed my wife after getting drunk? This is too ridiculous!" Kusakawa Ryunosuke stared blankly at the scene in front of him. For a timid person, the most terrifying thing is the process of waiting for death.

He walked shackled and staggered to Room 46.

He closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the sage's final judgment.

Everyone who should have arrived was there, including Ranpo Inuda, Yumiko, and Mako Hirako.

Compared with Ryunosuke Kusakawa, Ranpo Inuda appears very calm.

This group of sages first read out a long and meaningless speech, which roughly meant that the law is sacred and inviolable, and you must abide by the laws we set, and then got to the point.

"Ryunosuke Kusakawa, if you don't have new evidence to prove your innocence, the Central Forty-Six will find you guilty, because you yourself cannot explain why your Zanpakuto killed people, and after killing people, the sword will return to your waist." The sage said loudly.

Indeed, even he himself could not explain this matter.

Ryunosuke Kusakawa closed his eyes in fear, waiting for the final judgment.

Just when he thought everything was settled, Mako Hirako slowly took out a report from her arms.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the latest evidence I have obtained. On the night of the incident, Ryunosuke Kusakawa was drinking with his good friend, and his good friend is willing to testify in court." said Mako Hirako.

This is a huge turning point.

But only Ryunosuke Kusakawa was pale. He looked towards the witness stand with difficulty, but suddenly froze and looked at Kujo Yomi with an incredible look.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he knew he was saved.

After reading the confession, the forty-four sages began to ask questions in turn in order to determine the authenticity of the confession.

Jiujo Huangquan answered all the questions very calmly, and there was no logical flaw.

After discussion among these forty-four sages, they all agreed that the confession was true. In other words, Ryunosuke Kusakawa was not at home at the time of the crime. Unless he had spatial abilities, it would be impossible for him to kill his wife.

And there is only one person in the entire Soul Society who has spatial abilities.

That is Yamabuki Detang sitting at the highest point.

"Since the murderer is someone else, Kusakawa Ryunosuke, you are also a victim. I hereby announce that you will be released in court."

Ryunosuke Kusakawa was so excited that he burst into tears. He originally thought that he was dead, but he never expected that there was still hope of survival in such a desperate situation.

"I will never drink again, and I must be a good person." Ryunosuke Kusakawa burst into tears.

Now the question is, since Ryunosuke Kusakawa is not the murderer, who is the real murderer?

Everyone's eyes turned to Inuda Ranpo.

Inuda Ranpo couldn't help but become nervous.

"I have no motive to kill and no evidence. I should be released in court. My wife can testify that I was at home on the night of the incident." Inuda Ranpo said loudly.

The eyes of the forty-four sages were fixed on Yumiko.

"Inuda Yumiko, you have to think carefully. Perjury is a serious crime. What exactly happened that night?" asked the sage.

"Yumiko, just tell me the truth." Inuda Ranpo said, "Just tell me the truth and you can prove my innocence."

Yumiko's face showed an embarrassment and hesitation. She clenched her fists tightly and bit her lower lip unwillingly. Finally, she seemed to give up and said in a tired voice, "Dear, I don't want to lie anymore. You were not at home on the night of the incident. You came back in a hurry. Your clothes were covered in blood. There was even a button on your collar with the family emblem printed on it that was broken off. You took off your clothes and asked me to sew the button back on. Then you told me to hide the clothes... I'm sorry, he forced me to do it before. I don't want to lie. But my conscience won't allow me to do this. An innocent woman was killed by my husband. I can't protect my husband."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Inuda Ranpo's face was pale and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Yumiko! What are you talking about? I was at home that night. I never left your sight. What are you talking about?"

"Everyone! I know that the crime committed by my husband is unforgivable. Now I can only pray that you will not punish me for my previous perjury. I was forced to do it, please forgive me. After all, the man who killed people is my beloved husband." Yumiko took out a handkerchief and kept wiping her tears.

Inuda Ranpo slumped in his chair, as if the sky was falling.

"Why? Why on earth did you frame me? We've been married for so many years, how have I ever let you down? Why did you frame me?" Inuda Ranpo looked like a madman, and the two Shinigami beside him used all their strength to pin him down on the chair.

"Why? It's just to relieve my conscience. Ranpo, you know best what you did!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Inuda Ranpo's face.

Inuda Ranpo was still struggling desperately, and had completely lost his previous calm appearance.

"Inuda Ranpo, the law is strict and there is no loophole. Now you can explain why you killed Kusakawa Ryunosuke's wife." The sage said loudly.

"I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill anyone? Please believe me, this woman is talking nonsense. I stayed at home all day on the night of the incident and didn't go out at all. You must believe me!" Inuda Ranpo kept begging, but now no one was willing to listen to him.

"Snapped!"

The gavel fell.

"I now declare that Inuda Ranpo is suspected of murder. There is both witnesses and evidence. He is guilty and sentenced to death..." the sage said loudly.

Suddenly, someone in the audience raised his hand.

"Could you please wait a moment, gentlemen? I have another version of the story here. Would you like to listen to it?" Mako Hirako raised a letter in his hand with a smile on his face.

Chapter 150: Continue the reversal

Generally speaking, when the Central 46th Office announced the final result, no one dared to interrupt. However, Hirako Mako never took these people seriously. Besides, he was a subordinate of Yamabuki Detang, so the Central 46th Office did not dare to look down on him too much and could only let him finish his words.

When Yumiko saw the letter in Hirako Mako's hand, her face instantly turned pale and she clenched her fists tightly.

"Three days ago in the afternoon, I visited the Inuda family in order to investigate the truth of the matter. It was this lady who received me. When she learned that her husband might be executed, she was very happy! She only regretted that her husband died too late." Hirako Mako said with a smile.

"Is there such a thing?" The sages turned their eyes to Yumiko.

Yumiko's expression was very unnatural, and she said stiffly, "I thought it was a joke at the time, so I didn't take it seriously. I never thought that my beloved husband would actually be executed!"

"This is just the beginning. After I left, I secretly monitored this lady and found that she quietly left home, went to Rukongai, and left this letter under a big tree. In order to avoid accusations of me forging it, you gentlemen can verify the handwriting of the letter." Mako Hirako handed the letter in her hand to the sages.

Central Office 46 immediately took the letter and, after comparing the handwriting, found that the letter was indeed written by Yumiko.

The content of the letter shocked them even more.

"My damned husband is dying. Our plan has succeeded. Tomorrow I will retract my confession in Central Office 46. After he dies, we will both flee far away."

No one expected that the development of the plot would become so exciting, and that there would be such a big reversal before the final trial.

"Mrs. Inuda Yumiko, please explain the content of this letter and who you are writing it to?" the sages asked sternly.

Yumiko's face turned pale, and she suddenly pointed at Hirako Mako: "Why are you framing me? This letter must be a false testimony you fabricated, right? What is the grudge between us? Why are you picking on me? Please, gentlemen, take a closer look! This letter was definitely not written by me."

Hirako Mako calmly raised her hands and said, "My Lords, I have a witness. The other person who was monitoring Yumiko with me was none other than the leader of the Kidou clan, Yaoba Chiyo. You should be able to believe what that lord said."

Yaoba Chiyo is a veteran of the Gotei 13.

Even though he isn't very serious in normal times, he holds a very important position in the Gotei 13.

The sages did not dare to be arrogant and hurriedly said, "Please ask Miss Yaoba Chiyo to come and testify."

Soon, Yaoba Chiyo arrived.

And it was proved that the development of this matter was exactly the same as what Hirako Mako said, and the letter was indeed written by Yumiko.

Now we have strong human evidence.

Yumiko's face was pale, she slumped in the chair, her eyes dull.

"We have all the witnesses and evidence, Inuda Yumiko, why don't you confess your crimes quickly?" the sage shouted loudly.

Inuda Yumiko covered her face with her hands in despair.

"I... I actually already had a lover before I got married, and we've been secretly meeting each other even after we got married." Yumiko said sadly.

Inuda Ranpo never expected that his wife would cheat on him, and he didn't know how to feel for a moment.

"I'm tired of this kind of life. I can't stand meeting my lover in secret, so I came up with an idea. If my husband dies, I can be with the person I love and inherit a lot of assets. In this way, a plan to frame someone was born in my head." Yumiko recounted what happened that night.

All the investigation results prove that the Kusakawa family and the Inuda family have no intersection, but this is actually wrong.

Yumiko and Ryunosuke Kusakawa's wife were good friends in their early years. Although they had not been in contact for many years, Yumiko suddenly had an idea and included this good friend whom she had not seen for many years as part of her plan.

She first came to the house and stayed at the Kusakawa family in the name of a guest. Then, according to the plan, Yumiko would kill her good friend, and finally drop the family emblem to frame her husband. Then she would appear in court to testify and successfully send her husband to prison.

This was a perfect plan, but she never expected that just when she was about to take action, Ryunosuke Kusakawa came home drunk.

At that time, Ryunosuke Kusakawa was so drunk that he had no idea what was happening and fell asleep.

Yumiko drew the Zanpakutō from his waist and sheathed it after killing her friend.

Then leave the badge on her husband's clothes, and the perfect blame is complete.

After returning home, she used her own blood to make blood-stained clothes and waited for investigators to come.

The moment Mako Hirako arrived at her house, she had fallen into her trap. Under Yumiko's constant hints, Mako Hirako really found the blood-stained clothes.

But during the first court session, she had to act like a good wife and mother in order to create a contrast and make a decisive move during the second court session.

If Mako Hirako had not found a letter in advance, Inuda Ranpo would have been thrown into death cell, waiting to die.

After learning the truth, everyone present was shocked. A woman's heart is the most poisonous.

These grown men could never have imagined that a woman could be so cruel. In order to live with the person she loved, she not only killed her long-time friend, but also put the blame on her husband.

The dust has settled.

"Excuse me, does anyone have any new evidence?" the sage asked loudly to the people below.

Ryunosuke Kusakawa and Ranpo Inuda can be said to be a pair of unlucky guys who were fooled around by a woman without knowing what was going on.

Especially Inuda Ranpo, he originally thought that his wife and he loved each other very much, but he didn't expect that his temperament not only made him a big cuckold, but also put him to death.

The despair was clearly visible on his face.
