Chapter 45 A Statement

"Bang!"

As the door of the conference room was gently pushed open, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly walked in. As soon as he entered the door, Lin Xiuyi saw that the venue was already full of high-level officials from the Police Department at this time.

"Sorry for the delay on the way!"

"Don't worry, Lin Police Department! The reason why I brought you here today is because ten minutes ago, the National Police Agency just received a report from the Tokyo Detention Center. Shoji Kuroda orchestrated a sudden escape from prison and kidnapped a prisoner named Goro Sakuraba in full view of the Tokyo Detention Center...... We brought you here to hear your thoughts on this incident!"

"Nani?"

Hearing Keiko tell him in person, Shoji Kuroda had planned an escape from prison, and the location was still in the high-security Tokyo Detention Center. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel very surprised. It wasn't until a while later that he finally accepted the information.

"No wonder...... He's going to go to such trouble on Halloween?"

"Lin Police?"

"Ah, I'm really sorry, can I take a look at the information of the kidnapped prisoner Sakuraba Goro first, I want to know what his relationship with Kuroda is......"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's rhetorical question, Jingzi hesitated slightly, then nodded and signaled to the person in charge of the public security. Next, a piece of information with the words top secret on the cover was passed to Lin Xiuyi.

"Thank you!"

Lin Xiuyi thanked him softly, and then silently opened the information, and then he roughly browsed the information about Sakuraba Goro.

What made Lin Xiuyi feel strange was that, judging from the information displayed on the data, the life trajectories of Goro Sakuraba and Shoji Kuroda did not have any intersection. Although both were once imprisoned in the Tokyo Detention Center. But Goro Sakuraba was in prison a month ago. And then...... Shoji Kuroda has already served his final sentence and has been released from prison at the end of his sentence. So...... Judging from the prison records alone, it is impossible for Sakuraba Goro and Kuroda Shoji to know each other at all.

"I'm so sorry, excuse me...... Do you have any other information about the relationship between the two of you? “

"Not yet, but the inmates who were there to help Sakuraba Goro escape should know. Merely...... Several of the organizers were prisoners who had already been sentenced to death, and none of them would say why they did so......"

"Nani?"

"Also...... I don't know if it will help you, Goro Sakuraba...... He was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, and according to his current physical condition, doctors estimated that he had just over a month to live! Why did Shoji Kuroda go to such lengths to kidnap a death row inmate from a Tokyo detention center......"

"Lin Police Department, you are the last person to contact Shoji Kuroda before his disappearance, from now on, I hope that you will take over the case of Shoji Kuroda, and please arrest the suspects involved in this case as soon as possible, otherwise, neither the Ministry of Justice nor the National Police Agency will be able to give a satisfactory explanation to the public......"

"I ...... I got it, I'm going to do my best......."

Lin Xiuyi looked at Jingzi, who had announced the task to him, and couldn't help but feel very puzzled, why did he suddenly hand over Kuroda's case to himself at this time......? Wouldn't it be simpler for the police to take over?

……

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

"Mr. Sakuraba...... How are you?"

"Ah...... It's nothing...... It is...... I just feel a little disgusting...... But...... I didn't think I'd have a chance to get out of there in my lifetime!"

"Mr. Sakuraba...... If...... If you're ready, can we get started now?"

"Hey, I'm ...... I'm ready!"

Hearing Mr. Sakuraba's answer, Shoji Kuroda immediately helped him to the center of the room, and then helped the frail Sakuraba Goro to slowly sit down on the chair.

"Is it okay?"

"That's it, Mr. Kuroda!"

"Okay, let's get started now!"

……

Kuroda said as he slowly walked behind his assistant, and then watched as the other party turned on the lens of the camera equipment. Soon, an image of Mr. Sakuraba sitting in a chair appeared on the computer.

"Please begin, Mr. Sakuraba!"

……

Hearing the other party's prompt, Sakuraba Goro nodded silently, and then said slowly in a weak and slow voice:

"My name is ...... Goro Sakuraba, currently ...... I am currently a prisoner serving a sentence in the Tokyo Detention Center, what I want to talk about today...... and together with what happened twenty years ago...... Sensational murder case related ......"

As Goro Sakuraba silently recounted the case that happened ten years ago in front of the camera, Shoji Kuroda and his assistant couldn't help but show a hint of relief and anticipation on their faces. Next, as long as you can upload this video to the Internet, then ...... Someone from the Metropolitan Police Department will take over.

"Twenty years ago, I was ...... I was still a working person! I was ...... The main source of income is to drive taxis to pick up and drop off guests at night. I vaguely remember that night twenty years ago...... When I was driving to the Ginza Imperial Hotel to pick up guests, I forgot to pull the handbrake and accidentally bumped into a car behind me, I remember...... It was a pretty luxurious car, so I was scared right away...... And then...... I got out of the car and quickly apologized to the other party...... But...... To my surprise, the other party waved his hand like that...... Let me go. ”

"Because...... The person who let me go didn't seem to be easy to mess with, so in order to prevent the other party from getting me in trouble afterwards, I ...... I went around a short distance and stopped, and then waited quietly there for a while. At this moment, I saw a person surrounded by several other people hurrying back to the car, and then ...... The car drove away, and the guy who let me leave got out of the car alone and went back to the hotel......"

"A few days later...... I just learned from the newspaper about a murder at the Ginza Imperial Hotel, where a member of parliament killed a young girl who worked in a Ginza club......! I didn't know about it from the newspapers until recently...... The person who was hit by my car and asked me to leave was the president of the Sumiyoshi Association, Haruaki Fukuda, who was killed in the Takadanobaba area of Tokyo a few days ago......"

"I don't know who was picked up by that car that night, but ...... I later found something belonging to the gentleman from where the car was parked...... That thing...... I'm keeping it safe in my companions' hands now......"

……

As Goro Sakuraba looked weaker and weaker in front of the camera, Shoji Kuroda, who already felt that he was about the same, asked his assistant to stop recording, and then Kuroda's assistant checked the content of the video several times, and after confirming that it was correct, he used an anonymous account to put the video on YouTube......
