Chapter 30: Interrogation

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were not raining, and he silently recited the name in his heart.

After a breath, he smiled and spoke softly.

"The Akutagawa Police Department... Your name is really... It's quite literary. ”

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, born in the Meiji era and died in the early Showa period, was a Japanese writer whose works were included in Japanese textbooks and read by students across the country, and had a decisive influence on the Japanese literary world.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Mori Ouwai and Natsume Soseki are known as the three great masters of Japanese literature in the first half of the 20th century, and eight years after Akutagawa Ryunosuke committed suicide, his lifelong friend Kikuchi Kan established the "Akutagawa Award" named after him, which still has a lot of weight in the hearts of newcomers in the literary world.

The Akutagawa Police Department in front of you may just have the same name... Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke carefully, his mood was not very relaxed, and he vaguely felt a sense of threat from the person in front of him.

It may be the keen intuition brought to him by practicing kendo, or it may be that the baptism of the mirage building has enhanced his sixth sense, anyway, he subconsciously feels that there is something wrong with Akutagawa Ryunosuke in front of him.

"This man looks to be in his early twenties, and he is already sitting in the position of the police department? What kind of son of a wealthy family? Or is it... Does he have a special talent, from some of the [Special Operations Units]? ”

The position of "police department", in Sakurada Gate, it is not high, it is not low, it is indeed not a big official, after all, this is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and the police department can smash a piece of the police department if you throw a brick in, and the police department will make up for it.

The police department is the starting point of the Japanese police professional group - elite police officers who have passed the "national first-class civil service examination", and the starting point is the police department.

It is also the end of the non-professional group - only participated in local exams, and the police officer who was born as a local civil servant has no more than a police department for the whole of his life.

But Ryunosuke Akutagawa's age is too young, and if he doesn't wear such a formal trench coat and hat, Uesugi Kiyoshi even thinks that he is not as old as himself.

This also made him suspicious, but he didn't show his face, but greeted Ryunosuke Akutagawa as usual, and even made a small joke.

For Uesugi Kiyoshi's ridicule, Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't care, he didn't answer the stubble, but opened the book in his hand, turned a pen, looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with meaningful eyes, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"I won't ask about the nonsense that recorded basic information, but I'll investigate you a little bit before I come, Uesugi-kun."

"The family background is innocent, there is no criminal record, he is a talent with excellent character and learning in school, and his reputation has always been very good. Maybe we'll become alumni in the future. ”

Listening to this, Ryunosuke Akutagawa seems to have graduated from the University of Tokyo – a diploma that is a stepping stone to Japan's upper class.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's smile is kind, his tone is gentle, and he can make strangers feel good, like a spring breeze, and he is quite skillful in speaking.

Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't eat this set.

The corners of his mouth curled into a smirk.

"There, the Akutagawa Police Department can already be in charge at a young age, and it is the real young and promising, I am the light of fire, and I dare not fight for Haoyue."

"If the Akutagawa Police Department has anything to say, just ask directly, I know everything and will never hide it."

The two smirked and looked at each other like two little foxes calculating each other - none of them were fuel-efficient lamps.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa touched his smooth chin, nodded slightly, and muttered, "In that case, I'll have something to say, Uesugi-kun--"

"I want to know, how did you kill Yokodano, can you tell me?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his sword eyebrows, the fox's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face became a little cold, this is really a good person who does not come.

A murderous hat came up and buttoned up?

He didn't argue in a panic, he didn't retort angrily, but spoke in the same calm tone as ever.

"The Akutagawa Police Department may have misunderstood something, I didn't [kill] Mr. Yokota, all I did was [legitimate defense]."

"I told a police officer at the scene what happened, I came to visit, and when I entered the door, there was a bloody Shura field like hell, and there were corpses all over the place, and Mr. Yokota was kneeling down to an empty shrine, with a strange face, as if he had been subjected to a ghost, and when he saw me coming in, he couldn't help but raise a knife to attack me, and I was forced to fight back."

"In the course of the fight, I managed to snatch Mr. Yokota's bone chopping knife, leaving a wound in his back, and also slashing him in the chest with a wooden knife, but it was definitely not enough to kill an adult male on the spot, I studied kendo, Akutagawa Police Department, I am very sure of that."

"As for Mr. Yokota's death, I can't explain it, he suddenly became hideous and painful during the battle, his whole body was wrapped in a strange mist, he struggled and rolled on the ground a few times, and then he didn't move, I was hit hard by Mr. Yokota several times, and my physical condition was very bad, and when I got time to breathe, I immediately called the police."

"I believe that all the evidence at the scene can confirm what I said, and Apricot can also serve as my witness."

"I don't think Mr. Yokota's death has anything to do with me, if you don't think so, and can produce sufficient evidence to prove that I constituted Mr. Yokota's death, then I will not be sophistry, I am willing to plead guilty and pay for my own actions..."

"But do you really have proof?"

"So, Akutagawa Police Department, if you still use that trick to deduct my hat, and put psychological pressure on me to confess my guilt... You might as well save it. ”

"I'm not the ignorant kid you think!"

"I also work to make money, I am a taxpayer, you are a policeman, I have the obligation to cooperate with your work, but please also have a slightly more correct attitude." --This is actually nonsense, students don't have to pay taxes when they work part-time, it's just Uesugi Kiyoshi talking nonsense in order to gain the upper hand in momentum.

"I am willing to talk to you about public and private, but if you are not sincere, then I will not say a word before the lawyer comes."

Uesugi Kiyoshi first recounted what happened, flatly denied that Yokotano's death was related to him, and mixed up the cause of Yokotano's death by asking questions and not knowing - all this is quite credible, provided that he is really an ordinary person.

Then, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he sarcastically ridiculed Akutagawa Ryunosuke in his words, and his attitude became tougher.

There is no way, people are good and are bullied, if he behaves too submissively, that is a manifestation of weakness, this kind of reasonable, without any guilt to speak, sometimes can win the trust of others.

If Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't know the details of Uesugi Kiyoshi and was pushed up like this, maybe he would really have nothing to say.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa snorted twice, and the pen in his hand paused in the notebook, smudging a little ink.

He also narrowed his eyes and leaned back in his chair with a playful expression.

"Lawyer? Uesugi-kun seems to be living in poverty, you can't afford to hire those barristers, do you want to apply for legal aid? With all due respect, the lawyers assigned by the government to legal aid are all novices, and their level is really average, and they can afford it, can you afford it? ”

"What about school? What about wind reviews? What about your bright future? ”

"Although Uesugi-kun and I have only met for the first time, I will say that this is just my personal judgment, if you are offended, don't be surprised!"

"I don't think Uesugi-kun, who can face the enemy and brazenly draw his sword, is not like a person who believes in the law..."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was not affected by Uesugi Kiyoshi in the slightest The rhythm and momentum of his speech, for a while, the atmosphere between the two was a little-for-tat.

The smile on Uesugi Kiyoshi's face flickered, and he stared at Ryunosuke Akutagawa's smiling eyes with a sinking face, and was silent for a moment.

Then, he shook his head slowly, word by word.

"No, you're wrong, Akutagawa Police Department."

"I am a law-abiding citizen, and I believe in the law."

"It's just..."

"I don't trust certain people who enforce the law..."

"For example... You? ”
