Chapter 54: Murphy's Law
"The Metropolitan Police Department's bento is really not worthy of feeding a dog, so I actually eat this kind of thing!"
Yuhiko Watase pushed aside the lunch provided by the Metropolitan Police Department with a look of disdain, not paying attention to the room full of police officers at all. It was as if the detectives standing around were his servants.
"Hey, it's easy to eat good food, as long as you tell us about your murderous behavior, and then you can stay in the Tokyo detention center with peace of mind and wait for the last meal of your life, please rest assured, you are still very generous to the taxpayers of the severed meal!"
Lin Xiuyi sat opposite Yuhiko Watase and unceremoniously scolded back.
"Didn't you already find evidence that could convict me, and what else do you want me to say!"
Yuhiko Watase leaned back in his chair and suddenly closed his eyes. This expression is as if he is about to fall asleep, and that face is really annoying and annoying.
However, there is one thing that Yuhiko Watase said is good, Lin Shuichi has indeed found enough evidence to convict him. Just as Lin Xiuyi expected, this guy really showed favor for collecting the victim's personal belongings. Police found a storage box under the sofa in his home, which contained not only nude photos of the victim, but also some hair samples and personal belongings of the victim. However, it is a pity that Yuhiko Watase refused to admit that he killed these people, and naturally refused to reveal the whereabouts of the bodies of these victims.
Based on the DNA analysis of Kotsuken, the police initially suspected that a total of five victims had been used by Yuhiko Watase to carry out criminal activities using similar methods. And these victims were not limited to the Tokyo area, but also included two victims in Osaka and one in Hiroshima, and almost all five victims had experienced school bullying.
Frustrated with peers, so that he is gullible to the adults he meets by chance. Yuhiko Watase obtained a new job for the victim by joining forces with the theft, and lured the victim to frequent truancy and running away from home, gradually leaving the protection of school and family. Once the time is ripe, Watase Yuhiko will suddenly reveal his true face to the victim, constantly torture the victim, and force him to ask for money from his family and classmates until the victim loses his use value and is killed by him, and the whole criminal process is completely inhumane.
However, in the absence of a body found, it is likely that Yuhiko Watase will escape due to insufficient evidence. Because without a body, it is impossible to infer that the victim is dead, and it is impossible to prosecute Watase for murder. In order for the judge to be convinced of the police investigation in court, it is necessary to produce facts sufficient to prove that the victim is dead. If Lin Xiuyi can't produce evidence, then Watase's lawyer will seize on this point and question the police investigation. Disappearance is not the same as death, and neither the prosecution nor the judge can afford to take such a risk if the Ministry of Justice indicts and convicts Watase on the charge of homicide, and the victim reappears after the execution. Therefore, in line with the principle of no doubt of guilt, in the absence of a corpse, it is impossible for Watase to be prosecuted for murder, and can only be charged with lesser crimes such as kidnapping and illegal detention.
Although Tomomi Yano's arm can also indirectly prove her death, it still can't be legally treated with Yuhiko Watase. The items belonging to Tomomi Yano recovered from Yuhiko Watase's home only prove that the two had contact. It does not directly link Tomomi Yano's death to Yuhiko Watase. The law is a very strict thing, and therefore puts high demands on law enforcers. And how to use evidence to speak in this almost harsh situation is the best opportunity for an excellent criminal police officer to show his talent.
"President Watase, didn't you think that you would have such a day after all?"
After being silent in the room for a long time, Lin Xiuyi suddenly took the initiative to ask the suspect Yuhiko Watase.
"Officer Lin, if it weren't for my own negligence, how would you have a chance to find me. Don't you think it's ironic to think that time in my office when you humbly asked me for advice?"
Yuhiko Watase slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Lin Xiuyi with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of contempt for the police.
"President Watase, I've read your profile, and it seems that you used to be a teacher too? I heard from Kaede Takasaka that you seem to like this title very much. But do you think you are worthy of that title in your actions?"
"You blamed your arrest on your own negligence, I don't think so, I wonder if you've ever heard of Murphy's Law?"
Lin Xiuyi slowly stood up, propped up the table with his hands, and stared at Watase Yuhiko with an oppressive perspective, and when he mentioned the word Murphy's Law, Watase Yuhiko couldn't help but repeat it.
"Murphy's Law?"
The original sentence of Murphy's Law says that 'if there are two or more ways to do something, and one of the choices will lead to disaster, someone will have to make that choice.'" If that were to you, it would be that fools always choose the stupidest method and smugly think they're smarter than anyone else......"
As soon as Lin Xiu said this, the angry Watase Yuhiko was about to get up from the chair immediately, but unfortunately, the criminal police behind him unceremoniously pressed him back.
Lin Shuichi ignored Yuhiko Watase's aggressive gaze, and he continued to Yuhiko Watase as if he were talking to himself:
"If I'm not mistaken, Tomomi Yano's arm was thrown in Asakusa Park by you, right?"
"I really know your mind very well, and the police haven't noticed that they have killed so many people. Shouldn't the police be concerned about such a genius killer? Overconfidence makes you believe that you will never lose to the police, so you throw Tomomi Yano's arm in the park in Asakusa. So from that moment on, everything changed, the police began to notice you, and they continued to investigate the people around you, and you, the fool, covered up your mistake with another, even more stupid mistake, as Murphy's law dictiated......"
"You want Jun Ono to take the blame for you, so you continue to be self-righteous and want the police to notice him. What a scapegoat for a madman with bipolar disorder! But in my opinion, this is a schoolboy level ruse. When you triumphantly write that seemingly rampant sentence on the wall, you don't realize that your handwriting is leaking through you. ”
"The most ridiculous thing is that it is such a fool who claims to be a teacher, a fool who tries to send himself to prison step by step, and he has not woken up until now. ”
