"The period of prosecution has passed."

Mrs. Omiya Yanko said quietly, with a very determined look on her face, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

The statute of limitations refers to the period of time within which a criminal offender is held criminally responsible, and the maximum period of validity in Japan is 15 years.

If a person's crime has passed the statute of limitations, criminal liability will not be pursued, and the statute of limitations will be calculated from the date of the crime.

The reason for the establishment of such obviously unreasonable regulations is that the national government has a 'economic account' consideration.

In consideration of judicial efficiency, in order to combat current crimes more effectively, it is uneconomical to dwell too much on long-pending cases, and the longer the unsolved cases, the more likely it is that the evidence will be annihilated, and the manpower paid here will divide the current criminal case.

An ongoing serial homicide case, a serial homicide case that has already occurred, whether it is the influence of public opinion or something else, the police will choose to solve the current one.

Justice may be late, and justice may be absent.

Not to mention anything else, as far as Mito Moon knows, the Nagoya pregnant woman case that occurred a few years ago is already an unsolved case in Japan that has expired.

In Nagoya City, a good-looking pregnant woman, Mitsuko Moriya, was about to give birth, but she was strangled to death at home with a wire, the sharp blade wound was cut from the chest to the lower abdomen, the fetus was taken out of the pregnant woman's body along with the umbilical cord, and the telephone was stuffed into the pregnant woman's body.

In 2003, the prosecution period had expired, which meant that even if the offender was found by then, he would not be convicted.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's already a murder case fifteen years ago, according to the laws of our country, can't it be over if it hasn't been solved for fifteen years after the case has been filed?" Junichiro Omiya, who has always been cowardly, couldn't help but smile at this time, "Not to mention, that incident was not filed at all back then, and it wasn't even filed, so there was no problem." ”

But looking at Officer Twilight's wide-eyed eyes, Junichiro Omiya shrunk his shoulders.

The police officers at the scene have seen a lot of prisoners, but after being identified as the fact of the crime, the criminals tried their best to deny it, and resolutely refused to admit that they had committed the crime.

"Yanzi she used to have a father, who lived in Chibane, his father was very bad in all aspects, he would beat Yanzi at every turn when he was a child, and Yanzi would walk on the road of a water vendor back then, which was also the credit of his father, and more than half of Yanzi's income at that time was handed over to him."

Unexpectedly, the proprietress of the café was also engaged in a special industry such as water vendors, and everyone present took a few more glances at the proprietress one after another.

The proprietress is still beautiful and moving at this age.

But among the crowd, Himeko Omiya, who is her daughter, did not show any special surprise, and it seems that she has long known what kind of past her mother has.

"Before I met Yanzi, he had already suffered from colon cancer, and after having this lesion, he reached out even more and asked Yanzi for money, completely becoming a bloodsucking worm lying on Yanzi, and it was also the biggest obstacle between me and Yanzi."

When he said this, Junichiro Omiya's tone hardened.

"So in order to clear this obstacle and end his pain of being plagued by cancer, I gave Yanzi a bottle of poison and asked Yanzi to feed it."

"This time he is relieved, and we are also relieved, but that was the case from fifteen years ago."

Sounds like a story about a manual euthanasia for a person in pain.

"Mr. Junichiro Omiya......" Officer Twilight narrowed his eyes, "I checked the case record and found that a decade or two ago, you seemed to be a frequent visitor to the police station, right?" ”

"Ah, that's right, I was an unobtrusive gangster at the time, and I often fought with other gangs for turf, and I also had a few younger brothers, and I often went to the police station because of this and that."

Although Junichiro Omiya is tall now, his body is very thin, but if his skeleton is filled with meat, you can imagine that he must have been a burly and powerful young man when he was young.

"After giving Yanzi that bottle of medicine at that time, I also went to Izu with a few of my men to do some things, but now I am a good person, and I will never get involved in those illegal things again."

Officer Twilight looked at Yanko again, and Mrs. Yanko put her hands on her knees, and she didn't show much remorse for killing her father with her own hands, if, as Junichiro Omiya said, it was the father who had poisoned her who ruined her life.

"Yes, I personally poured poison on my father and watched him die, and it was a doctor who lived in Akabane who was in charge of the investigation, and after that I waited at Akabane's house for Junichiro to come back, and about ten days later, Junichiro returned."

"Hmm......" Officer Twilight nodded, "What you two said is the same as what the whistleblower said. ”

"Mr. Officer, I want to know what kind of evidence the other party gave?"

"A medicine box with the fingerprints of the two of you, it's hard to imagine that the other party has been able to keep this kind of thing so well for so many years." Officer Twilight was also a little surprised when he said this, and only special public units such as the police and prosecutors would be so careful and meticulous in preserving the evidence from fifteen years ago.

"Of course...... Junichiro Omiya said through gritted teeth, "because he needs this evidence to blackmail the two of us all the time, to extort money on the charge of murder, he has been using that medicine bottle to extort money since it was accidentally exposed fifteen years ago, and he has already extorted tens of millions of yen from us over the years!" ”

Tens of millions of yen made everyone's hearts skip a beat, and even in the golden age of the 80s, tens of millions of yen was not a small amount.

"But even if there are medicine bottles as physical evidence, this police officer, the two of us collaborated to murder Yanzi's father on October 5, 1980, that's right, Yanzi, today is October 6."

"Hmm." Yanko added to Junichiro Omiya's statement, "It was the day when Momoe Yamaguchi said goodbye to her fans at the Budokkan, so I remember it very clearly, and I will never be mistaken. ”

"Oh?"

Officer Twilight sighed in confusion and took out a piece of paper from the information bag he was carrying: "It seems that you two have misremembered, this is a copy of Mrs. Yanko's father's household registration, and the death declaration time on it is 10:25 a.m. on October 8, Showa 56." ”

"In other words, there are still two days left before the prosecution period of the case."

Officer Twilight slammed the copy on the table, along with a photo of the medicine bottle!
