Chapter 43: Truth and Lies

The police arrived a little later than they did, because they had to be well prepared and not act rashly.

There were also some teenagers in the house who got together, but they were all subdued and finally put into the police car.

And those girls who have been trapped for a long time have been sent to the hospital.

Chapped lips, haven't eaten in a long time.

Yuaki Kuwabara, who received the news that his daughter had finally been found, didn't finish his meal, and hurriedly rushed to the hospital after putting down the dishes and chopsticks.

As soon as I arrived near the ward, I saw someone coming out of the room where I was never good.

"Miss Tang!"

Qinghai Chuantang was stunned for a moment and looked at the person who came, "Mr. Kuwabara." ”

"Weiyou didn't suffer any serious injuries. The doctor said she would wake up soon. ”

Kuwabara Yuaki's expression was a little excited, he took her hand and said solemnly, "Miss Tang, thank you." Thank you very much! ”

Qinghai Chuantang shook his head, "It's okay, let's go in." ”

Just as she walked to the door of the hospital and was about to leave, she happened to meet Kawanishi Kiki and Takagi.

"Kawanishi Kiki, Officer Takagi. Are you here to visit the sick? ”

Instead of answering her question, Kawanishi Muji asked, "Is Miss Weiyou awake?" ”

"Come on. But with such a serious expression, there shouldn't be any case that has anything to do with her, right? ”

As it turned out, Qinghai Chuantang's guess was correct.

Fingerprints were detected from a knife found near the body of Bitayama, and the results were consistent with those extracted from the notebook. And add to that the testimonies of those children......

"So, are you here to arrest her? But before that, you should listen to what the kid has to say. ”

Silence or defense, recognition or denial, this is everyone's right.

Kawanishi Kiki and Takagi glanced at each other.

"I should have stopped him at that time, and I should have told him to go and call the police." Wei You sobbed, and then said, "Not long ago, Haozhang came to me......"

The two came to a no-man's land, and Haozhang handed her a newspaper clipping, a report of a disappearance from ten years ago, with a photo of the man.

Haozhang told her that the person in the photo was his brother, who was not missing ten years ago, but was killed.

"The person who killed my brother is the ghost brother." His conviction was immense.

Because it was when we got together somewhere, Haseki said it himself.

"At that time, that person was thrown into the pipe by me, his name was Taketa Takayanagi, and he was a wreck living in an orphanage with his brother. What is he to dare to stare at me with wide eyes? ”

The other party's words, Haozhang remembers clearly, that tone as if showing off.

When he said this, he still had a devil-like smile on his face, and he just felt very crazy. To him, killing people seemed as simple as cutting fruit, without any guilt.

Weiyou told him to go to the police, but the other party said: It's useless. Last time, too, the police investigation ended after a few times. My poor brother...... I want to avenge him.

"You mean, Taketa Takayanagi was killed by Gravel Hase?"

The pros nodded.

After knowing all this, Haozhang wanted to avenge his brother. also said that if you don't strike first, Brother Ghost will definitely not give up. ”

"Then why did you take him away?"

"Because the ghost brother knew that Haozhang told me about it, he kidnapped me."

There was a slight tremor in her tone.

Kuwabara Yuaki's hand gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, as if to tell her: Don't be afraid, it's all over.

"But the surveillance shows that you naturally left with an umbrella."

"That's what Brother Ghost threatened me."

Wei You shook his father's hand and continued, "He said that if I didn't obey, he would kill Hao Zhang. ”

However, in the end, Haozhang died.

"One last question."

Kawanishi Mu Ji stared at her, carefully observing her expression: "On the knife that assassinated Takayanagi Kosho, your fingerprints were extracted. ”

Weiyou looked up at him.

"I didn't kill Haozhang. It's the knife that Brother Ghost deliberately asked me to touch after killing Haozhang. ”

"However, the people of the ghost group say that you killed him in the Bili Mountain......

"It's them lying! Neither I nor Haozhang have been there! ”

Truth and falsehood, truth and lies.

"I was in another room at the time, and it was as if I heard them hitting someone, but at some point it stopped......"

"Then, I saw them dragging a man out, and that was the last time I saw Haozhang."

"He was pulled barefoot, and in the secret base of the ghost group, there should be the shoes I gave to Haozhang, which are a pair of black sneakers......"

When Kawanishi Kiki opened his mouth to ask something again, Kuwabara Yuaki said, "Please leave." Weiyou is tired now and needs to rest. ”

Wei You's eyes were closed, his expression was a little painful, and he didn't seem to feel good.

Eventually, Kawanishi Kiki and Takagi left the hospital.

Between the ghost group and Weiyou, there must be someone who is lying.

Then just go back to that place and see if there are any black sneakers that Weiyu said.

"As a result of external force, there were broken shoulders, bruises on arms and legs, and black mold was found on hands and feet."

Humid and without sunlight...... This is the secret base of the ghost group.

For some children, it may be a place that can be called home.

In their original home, they were like invisible people, and they were not taken seriously.

Perhaps their parents attach too much importance to them, and they feel suffocated by too much pressure and burden.

So they fled.

Where should you go after you escape?

Homeless, nowhere to go.

Such children are the easiest to get together.

They don't have any money on them, as long as the ghost brother takes out the money to invite them to dinner, they can take it away. As long as they are brainwashed in a pyramid scheme, they can be vented unscrupulously.

"You're still young, not yet old enough to be a teenager in conflict with the law. At most, it will be in the juvenile detention center, and it will come out soon. ”

This is the truth that the ghost brother taught them.

But where did the ghost brother learn this truth?

He mentioned once that he was taught to him by an interesting lawyer.

Eventually, the police found a pair of black sneakers with blood stains on them in the secret base of the ghost group.

"From Taketa Takayanagi's corpse, the DNA of the prisoner was found, which is consistent with yours."

"So what?"

Haseki smiled, "At that time, I wasn't even 14 years old. So I'm just a teenager who touches the law. ”

The children of the ghost group who knew the inside story were reluctant to speak, as if they were afraid of something, even if the ghost brother had been caught, they were still afraid.

Is there any way to get them to speak? You must know that the times are different, and it is absolutely impossible to extort confessions by torture.

Just when they were in an embarrassment, Kuwabara Yuaki accompanied his daughter and sent a cardboard box.

"This is what Takayanagi left to you."

This carton was finally delivered to the group of children.

They knew Haozhang and had a time of wandering together.

There were no shocking secrets hidden in the carton, they were all some points coupons and meal coupons and the like, which he had kept.

"Curry rice, hamburger ......"

"Wow, that's a lot. What else? ”

They were a little excited, as if they had found some treasure.

The man in red found two photos from the box, which were photos of them with Haozhang, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

"February 14th is the day to become a family."

"On March 14th, we want to be happy."

Everyone fell silent all at once.

You look at me, I look at you, and then I bow my head, as if remembering something.

The money that was robbed has been almost spent, and the remaining money is only enough to buy a bag of instant noodles and crush them, and then a group of people gather around to eat, which is naturally not enough to fill their stomachs.

So someone proposed, "Why don't we go grab another wave." ”

"No, I can't sin anymore."

Haozhang said: "Sleeping on the street and eating cup noodles as a meal, I was very happy at that time." Can't we go back to before we saw the ghosts? ”

Someone paused, but still grabbed a little bit of broken noodles and put it in their mouth.

"It's too late."

"yes, it's late." The other chimed in.

"No, it's not too late."

Haozhang tried to persuade them, "Those things are not what we want to do, they are all instigated by the guy called the ghost." ”

"So...... I want to kill him. As long as we are united, I have a plan and I will definitely succeed. ”

He didn't notice that something was wrong with their expressions, and his movements began to become restrained.

Just like his nickname "ghost", he quietly appeared in the back.

"What a bold and interesting idea."

Haozhang turned his head to look at the visitor, his expression becoming frightened.

"Who are you going to kill?"

Haseki smiled, and he was followed by several teenagers, all of whom were his subordinates and members of the Oni Regiment.

Like a devil, he approached them.

Hirojang was punched and kicked by one of Hase's men, while the others knelt on the sidelines and watched.

Here's what Haseki wants to teach them: lessons.

At the same time, it is also a warning to them, you must not betray him, otherwise...... I don't know how I died.

Seeing that the fight was almost over, Haseki motioned to his subordinates to stop and threw the knife in his hand in front of the man in red.

"Now, it's your turn."

The man in red looked at the knife in front of him, and then looked up at Haseki on the sofa, a little at a loss.

He didn't dare.

Naseki saw through his inner thoughts and smiled.

Got up and walked up to the man in red, kicked him at him, and kicked him against the wall.

Then, he picked up the knife and shoved it into the other man's hand.

"Why don't you come?"

The man in black's hands trembled and looked at him.

"If you don't stab him, you'll all have to die together."

With that, Haseki stepped aside.

"Brother......

The man in black trembled and looked up at him.

"I told you to stab!"

He was terrified.

The man in black held the knife in both hands and stood up tremblingly.

But he didn't immediately stab at Haozhang.

Nagatani smiled and said to the people standing on the side, "Hey, you can go and find Kuwabara Miyu." ”

After speaking, he looked at Haozhang.

"Didn't I say I got your girlfriend here? If they don't have the guts to kill you, then you'll have to let your girlfriend do it for you. ”

Haozhang struggled to get up from the ground, walked up to the man in black, and held his hand.

Then stab yourself hard.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement, which they had never expected.

"It's fine. You didn't kill me, it was me who killed myself......"

As if he didn't want them to feel guilty, Haozhang said this, using his last strength.

In the end, they confessed the full facts to the police.

The guilt for Haozhang is also a kind of compensation for him...... It's a kind of liberation in terms of itself.

"Trespassing, robbery, arson, abetment to murder and aiding crime, and so on...... Do you want to commit all the crimes of the Penal Code and then win the Grand Slam in one fell swoop? ”

Haseki smiled, then slapped the table and looked at the group of teenagers outside the monitor.

"Took in a bunch of boys who didn't have a place to go, and betrayed me." As he spoke, he yelled at them, "I won't let you go!" ”

Several people couldn't help but shrink their bodies, and some were so frightened that they took a step back.

Sato was relieved: "Don't worry, he's finished and won't have a chance to do anything to you." ”
