Chapter 50: A Heavy Price
"Police Department, it seems that Shinki Wanzhai is the murderer we are looking for!"
Miki stood by Lin Xiuyi's side and listened to the entire interrogation process completely. This time, Shinki Mansai's confession basically coincided with the actual situation that the police had in their possession. Even some details that the police did not inform the media before, Shinki Mansai described very clearly. Therefore, from now on, it can be concluded that the murderer of Hamada Daichi is Shinki Mansai himself.
However, Miki noticed that Lin Xiuyi seemed to be still thinking about the case. Although in Miki's opinion, the case is already clear, and it can't be clearer anymore. But Lin Xiu still hugged his arms, stood in front of the single lens with his brows furrowed, and quietly thought about something!
"Is there anything else you can't put your mind at ease?"
Miki asked Lin Xiuyi cautiously, now that the result of the interrogation is very clear, as for what to do next, Miki must get Lin Xiuyi's approval.
"Hmm...... It's something I really care about! But ...... It shouldn't affect the identification of the murderer in this case! I'm just a little concerned...... Miki, you say...... If you were Eiko Irie, would you bear the charge of murder for Mansai Shinki? What's more, Eiko Irie is a lawyer! He wouldn't be unaware of the serious consequences of murder!"
Lin Xiuyi said to Miki with some hesitation. In fact, Lin Xiuyi now has a very bad feeling. He always felt that the case he handled this time, whether it was from the detection process to the murderer's voluntary confession in the end, there was a feeling of being led by the nose. In many cases, clues related to the case are not deliberately searched for. On the contrary, it was as if someone had sent the evidence to the door, just waiting for Lin Xiu to open the door and see it. Especially when Lin Xiu faced Jingzi or Irie Yongzi, this feeling was particularly strong.
"So...... Police Department: Are we going to continue to detain Jiang Yongzi herself?"
Miki asked Lin Xiuyi for some doubts.
"No...... Considering her identity as a lawyer, if the alibi that Shinki Mansai said is true, let's let Irie Yongzi go!"
As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, he left here directly. In any case, Shinki Mansai's confession was enough to put an end to this case. Lin Xiuyi just felt that if he didn't always care so much about all the details, he might be able to live a little easier.
……
A few days later, when Eiko Irie walked out of the door of the prison, she turned around and bowed deeply to the officer who had sent him away. At this moment, I don't know when the two big stones that had been pressing on her heart were finally solved by her. After walking out of the gate of the criminal center, Irie Yongzi finally felt a sense of relief that she had never felt before.
Walking along the road leading to the distant town, Eiko Irie couldn't help but think of the big drama she directed, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. On the road next to her, cars whizzed past her from time to time. Although the destination in front of her seems far away, Eiko Irie likes the feeling now. She can roam freely and carefree, and no one can force her to do things she doesn't want to do. Isn't this the freedom that Eiko Irie has been pursuing?
"Wheel!"
I don't know when, a car suddenly followed slowly behind Irie Yongzi, driving slowly. As the window of the car rolled down, Lin Xiuyi turned his head and said loudly to Irie Yongzi.
"Mr. Irie, do you want me to give you a ride?"
Hearing someone next to him exchanging his name, Irie Yongzi hurriedly turned around. But when she saw Lin Xiuyi following her, she couldn't help but be a little vigilant.
"Thank you for your kindness, but ...... I want to walk around on my own once in a while, and there's nothing wrong with it, because it makes me feel very relaxed!"
Irie Yongzi replied unhurriedly to Lin Xiuyi.
After all, the two men you hated were getting the punishment you thought you deserved, and it would make you feel more relaxed and lighter than you had ever felt before. But then again, is it really what you want to see in the cruelty of instigating your own father to kill the man who betrayed you?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Hearing Lin Xiuyi's question, Irie Yongzi finally stopped her steps, and she asked Lin Xiuyi with some anger.
"Mr. Irie, the motive for Shinki Mansai to kill Hamada Daichi was actually arranged by you, right? The purpose is to make this man who betrayed you pay the price he deserves......"
Lin Xiuyi suddenly said a showdown to Irie Yongzi, and after Irie Yongzi heard this, he was silent for a while. Then she quickly adjusted her mood and asked Lin Xiuyi rhetorically.
"Officer Lin, it seems that I have just been approved for release! Do you want me to go back to the prison again? But ...... It seems that it takes hard evidence to do so!"
"Actually...... You already knew that Shinki Mansai was your real father, right!?"
"What did you say?
"Don't deny it, I've been to the adoption agency where you used to live and verified your past experiences. The staff there told me that you once revealed to someone that your father was actually a university professor, and I think you already knew who Professor Shinki was, right?"
"So what? Do you have evidence that I instigated Shinki Mansai to kill Hamada Daichi?" Irie asked Eiko still calmly to Hayashi Shuichi.
"Frankly, we don't have any evidence to prove your guilt! However, there is one unfortunate thing that I have to regret to inform you! Just an hour before you were released from prison. Your biological father has just ended his life in a prison with a broken pair of chopsticks...... I don't know if you ever regretted your choice when I said this. But now, there is really no evidence that you ever instigated your father to kill Hamada. ”
"Although you eventually escaped the law, ...... You will carry this heavy burden forever and continue with the rest of your life......
