Chapter 229: Justifiable Defense
Thinking back to the scene when she said goodbye to Kenichi in the afternoon, Mrs. Matsubara finally figured it out.
She stood there like a puppet without a soul.
The tragedy came to a heavy end, and it was all over.
The air in the office was dead.
"Mr. Katsubara, Mrs. Matsubara."
Lin Xinyi put an end to this tragedy:
"You'll all have to pay for what you've done."
Even if the deceased may have been voluntary, it is still against the law to kill someone.
Mrs. Matsubara committed the crime of intentional homicide.
And Katsu Matsubara committed the crime of intentional injury, manslaughter.
In the end, what awaits them will be the punishment of the law.
Hearing this, Mrs. Matsubara did not make any moves, but responded silently with a numb expression.
And Matsubara Katsu, this shameless man, after hearing the punishment he might endure, shouted in shock:
"Why, why?"
"The killing of Kenichi was obviously done by this woman, how can it be counted on my head?!"
Lin Xinyi frowned tightly, his eyes were extremely cold.
He didn't expect this guy to be able to defend himself so unrepentantly after seeing the tragic consequences he had caused.
"Because the extensive trauma you left behind when you committed the violence is itself serious enough to induce crush syndrome and cause the death of the deceased."
"What Mrs. Matsubara has done has only accelerated the process."
"Even if she doesn't do it, as the body repairs itself, the massive ischemic necrotic muscle tissue will resume blood perfusion, which will lead to severe reperfusion injury, which will cause the degree of tissue damage to increase rapidly."
"And this is also an important reason why patients with crush syndrome, when their condition seems to have stabilized, will suddenly worsen and die suddenly a few days after the injury."
According to Lin Xinyi's judgment, the deceased's physical injuries were serious enough to cause death.
So what Katsu Matsubara's actions did can definitely be regarded as manslaughter.
And emotionally speaking...
In Lin Xinyi's eyes, the crime he committed was more than manslaughter.
It was Katsu Matsubara, who destroyed this family with his own hands and drove his family to a dead end step by step.
If it weren't for living in the shadow of this demon father all year round, Kenichi might not have grown up to be so introverted, cowardly, and accomplished nothing.
He may have his own life, and there are infinite possibilities.
But all this was ruined by Katsu Matsubara.
But now Matsubara Katsu doesn't seem to feel guilty at all.
"Bastard..."
Lin Xin suddenly felt angry:
"Your wife, children, and your own home have all been destroyed by your own hands, a scumbag!"
"Aren't you sorry at all because you're human?"
He couldn't hold back his anger and shouted.
But Namatsuba Katsu just closed his mouth with an ugly face, and muttered softly to himself:
"I... I didn't mean to. β
"Kenichi didn't go to the hospital by himself, didn't he?"
There was a depression in his eyes that was unconvinced but did not dare to argue, but there was no sadness and shame.
Lin Xinyi was dumbfounded:
He scolded wrongly.
Of course this guy won't be sorry.
Because from the time he started to commit violence against his family, he was no longer a human being.
Scolding this kind of person is not sobering, and it is a pure waste of saliva.
You should calm down, get things done, and just leave this bastard to your colleagues.
Intellectually it does, but... The anger in my heart just can't be lowered.
Because Katsu Matsubara ruined the lives of two people, and all he had to bear was the charges of intentional injury and manslaughter.
According to Ben's lenient punishment, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit for a few years.
In addition, under the guidance of the humanistic boxing mentality that is common in developed countries, the living environment of this prison surpasses that of more than 90% of the dormitories of college students in China.
Some of these model prisons are as luxurious as star-rated hotels.
After going in and squatting for a few years, it was like going back to my own home.
In short, human fists are enjoyed by the murderer, and the victim only has the right to become a dead person.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Xinyi instinctively felt resentful.
And the bastard in front of him obviously didn't show any signs of hope to complete the transformation and become a new person.
"Damn..."
Lin Xinyi stared at Matsubara Katsu.
He really wanted to kick this guy hard right now and give him a taste of being brutalized.
But this Matsubara Katsu is just a coward who only dares to beat women and children.
Even if he was angry with Lin Xinyi now, he didn't dare to lose his temper or move his hands and feet.
If the other party doesn't take the initiative, then Lin Shinichi will not be able to practice "legitimate defense" like Miss Maori.
"Calm down... Calm down. β
"You are the enforcer, and everything has to be done by law."
Lin Xinyi clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
The ugly face in front of me is infuriating.
He could only keep admonishing himself in his heart:
Can't do it, can't do it.
It is necessary to observe organizational discipline and maintain the image of the police force.
"Wait..."Lin Xinyi was slightly stunned.
He realized in hindsight that he was already in another world.
Now the organization he is in has no discipline at all.
As for the image of the police force...
Where does the image of the Metropolitan Police Department come from?
"Bang!!"
There was a loud and dull noise in the office.
I saw that Matsubara Katsu's tall and burly body suddenly rose into the air and flew upside down, like a cannonball fired with all its might, and quickly crashed into the wall behind him.
There was a loud bang, and the walls cracked.
Katsu Matsubara sat slumped against the wall, a tuft of blood spitting out of his mouth.
His face instantly turned extremely pale, and his expression was even more distorted by the severe pain.
And Lin Xinyi slowly withdrew his legs that swept out, and stood quietly in place like a nobody.
"Y-you..."
Matsubara Katsu clutched his chest, which he didn't know how many ribs had been broken, and angrily accused:
"How can you hit someone?!"
"It's justifiable defense."
Lin Xinyi replied calmly:
"Everybody's seen it, right? I am justified in self-defense. β
β......β
In the midst of a strange silence, it was Mao Lilan who reacted first.
She would never open her eyes and tell nonsense.
But then there was more "justifiable defense", and she slowly began to feel used to it, and she was able to forget the guilt:
"No, that's right... Mr. Lin is justified in self-defense! β
Maorilan stammered to testify, his eyes filled with undisguised anger.
"Youβyouβ" Matsubara's face turned pale with pain, and now he was even more angry: "Nonsenseβ"
"It was you who made the first move just now, how can this be legitimate defense?!"
"Who said I did it first?"
Lin Xinyi slowly approached and said condescendingly:
"It was Mr. Matsubara, you came up to me to provoke me, and took the initiative to wave your fists at me."
"It's just that I'm prepared and ready to go, and as soon as I see you raise your fist, I immediately shoot back."
"I'm nimble and fast, so I kicked you in front of you."
"At first glance, it really looks like I hit my first shot."
Hearing this, Matsubara Katsu's face turned green with anger.
As soon as he was so excited, his already painful chest was like a few more knives, and he was even more breathless.
With his head tilted, his eyes closed, and blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, he finally fainted like a dead pig.
...........................
Katsu Matsubara was carried on a stretcher and taken to the hospital.
Mrs. Matsubara also pleaded guilty and took the initiative to put on handcuffs.
The curtain finally fell.
Not only Mao Lilan, who has too strong empathy ability, but Lin Xinyi also stood quietly for a while before recovering from the impact of this case.
Later, seeing that it was already dark at night, Mao Lilan quickly thanked Lin Xinyi and Belmode and said goodbye, and prepared to take Conan back to sleep.
And Belmode also held Lin Xinyi's arm and wanted to go home with him to rest.
The two groups left in different directions.
Because the floor is not high, they have to take the stairs to the first floor and take a taxi at the entrance of the building.
On the other side, you have to take the elevator and go down to the underground garage to pick up the sports car.
In this way, the two groups parted ways at the door of the office.
And Lin Xinyi had just walked out a few steps before he suddenly stopped and said to Belmode:
"Teacher, you wait here."
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"Hmm." Belmode naturally agreed, as if he did not suspect him.
Lin Xinyi just pretended to go to the bathroom, turned around and went in the other direction.
In the same direction as the bathroom, it was the staircase that Maoriran and Conan were going to take.
Turning the corner at the end of the aisle, avoiding Belmode's sight, Lin Xinyi trotted in three steps and two steps, and finally caught up with them at the top of the staircase:
"Miss Maori, and Conan."
"I have something to tell you."
Seeing Lin Xinyi hurriedly come to the door in this way to exchange information, Conan suddenly realized something.
He rushed ahead of Mao Lilan and asked with great concern, "Lin, do you have any major discoveries?" β
"Hmm." Lin Xin nodded:
"Now Belmode lives with me, sticking to me at all times."
"You have to be careful when you call and text me, don't."
He first quickly instructed Conan and Maolilan a few words, and then shook out a fierce message:
"Also, based on what I've observed..."
"Belmode, she seems to have something to do with the two of you."
"It's not like she's here to investigate Kudo and Miss Mori for the organization, but she's here to protect the two of you."
"W-What?" Both Maoriland and Conan were surprised:
What can a mysterious female cadre of a criminal organization have to do with their two high school students?
This is Lin Shinichi's teacher, and he is not Kudo Shinichi's teacher, how can he protect them?
"Time is short and there is no time to explain."
"But I want you to try to think about where you've seen Belmode before."
Lin Xinyi sped up his speech and said his thoughts.
Conan bowed his head thoughtfully, but Maolilan's reaction was still only shock:
"W-This can't be... Mr. Lin, are you mistaken? β
"No, I'm pretty sure of that."
Lin Xinyi shook his head and said extremely seriously:
"If you don't believe me, we can do an experiment now."
.............................
Half a minute later, Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan were still standing at the top of the stairs chatting.
And at this time, a graceful figure appeared in front of them unconsciously:
"Shinichi, didn't you say you went to the bathroom by yourself?"
Belmode smiled and looked at Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan, his gaze was a little dangerous:
"I wanted to avoid me and come here to whisper to Miss Maori."
β.......β
Lin Xinyi's face was cold, and his expression was as usual.
And Mao Lilan's acting skills still need to be refined, and his expression looks a little unnatural.
But this unnaturalness is just right in Belmode's eyes, not only does it not look suspicious, but it also fits her personality very well.
"Miss Maori."
Belmode looked at Moriran with some amusement and asked quips:
"Can you tell me what my boyfriend talked to you about?"
Maolilan hesitated.
She pondered for a while, and according to Conan's previous instructions, she found the emotion before she replied:
"Mr. Lin said that he wanted me to help contact Shinichi... Forehead... Contact that guy from Kudo. β
"This..."
Belmode's eyes quietly changed.
She suddenly set her eyes on Lin Xinyi, and her tone became a little meaningful:
"You want to contact the great detective?"
"Why?"
