Chapter 83: The Defendant
As long as you are locked up here, you can't easily take action to reverse your disadvantage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Not prosecuting because of insufficient evidence is the last hope for Rentaro.
Rentaro's breathing slowed down, as if in prayer, he clasped his hands vigorously.
It is impossible for me to be prosecuted. After all, I didn't kill people at all.
The jailer urged Rentaro, but he remained put.
Two days later, Ryotaro Satomi was formally indicted by the assistant prosecutor, changing from a suspect to a defendant.
After the indictment was confirmed, Rentaro was depressed every day.
Feeling unjustified and furious at first, he was subdued by the bailiffs. Then he was greeted by a deep sense of prostration.
Rentaro was extremely disappointed.
Isn't the so-called law the last bastion of the weak? At some point, civilization has degenerated into an era where witch hunting is rampant. No, it is the human heart that has degenerated.
Today, Rentaro sat down on a chair in the reception room again.
It's just that the person on the other side is not Sumire.
For a long time, Rentaro fell silent because he didn't know what to say. The girl in the black sailor suit on the opposite side seemed to be the same. The second hand of the wall clock on the wall made an inorganic sound of Titicaca, and after about three minutes of precious meeting time, the girl finally spoke: "Sorry, I was going to come early......"
"Nothing, don't care. Miss Kigen. Since he had heard from Sumire beforehand, Rentaro could barely pretend to be calm.
Of course, Rentaro who was held in the detention center had no way of knowing, but after Rentaro was arrested and Yeonzhu was taken away, a large number of reporters naturally had to gather around Kisara.
Although Rentaro respects Kigen from the bottom of his heart for being both intelligent and bold, he also knows that she is just a sentimental sixteen-year-old girl.
In addition, the absence of Lanyuan Yanzhu and Rentaro also means that the number of partners available for missions in the Tiantong Civil Security Company is zero.
Although the initiator of the wooden gambit is still there, she can only sit in the office because of her kidneys.
"Satomi-san, I've thought about it a lot. Until a clear answer is present, I don't think I should hesitate to meet with Satomi-san. But I finally got the answer. ”
Kigen raised his lowered head and sat upright to stare at Rentaro.
"I'm willing to do anything for Satomi-san. I'm going to help you get the best lawyers. You don't have to worry about money. Tong Sheng will definitely be found not guilty, and we can still run the Tiantong Civil Security Company together with the four of us. It doesn't hurt if it takes a little while, that's my answer. ”
A large amount of emotion squeezed into his chest, and Rentaro looked at Kigen without saying a word.
The poor Tiantong civil security company, which can only eat sweet potatoes for dinner, where does it get all this money? Mu Geng's decision must have been to use the tuition reserves from her private Meihe Women's College, and to convert all her stock and futures holdings into cash-no. The money should still not be enough.
In the event of a loss, the total amount of losses could swell to a staggering figure, leaving the Tendo Civil Security Company in ruins. But even so, she chose this path.
However, Rentaro didn't know that recently, the Tendo Civil Security Company ........ It's better to say that Mu is no longer short of money.
Kigen thinks that Rentaro is very important to her, and it has been fully conveyed through what he just said.
Rentaro closed his eyelids, then slowly opened them.
- That's enough, I shouldn't ask for too much.
"Miss Kigen, I appreciate your kindness, but I understand it."
"Why?"
Ignoring the surprised Kigen, Rentaro looked at his knees and said lightly: "You can also calm down, okay?" I've been listening to you say since you say that it's your freedom to indulge in the emotions of a lonely heroine, but I don't feel like I need your help. ”
"You say, what ......?"
Mu Geng's eyes widened and he was speechless.
Rentaro changed his tone and said as if he was telling the other party, "It's almost time, Miss Kigen?" I can't take care of Miss Kigen like I used to. ”
The happiness of Tendo Kigen cannot be realized by Rentaro's side. This is an indisputable conclusion.
After all, Kigen only needs to see Rentaro's prosthetic eyes and prosthetic limbs. In an instant, she would recall the tragedy of ten years ago, reinforcing her belief in revenge.
In other words, for Kigen, the presence of Rentaro is equivalent to the painful memory catalyst of his parents being preyed on by the original intestines.
Since his own existence is only an obstacle to happiness, Tendo Wood is even more with Satomi Rentaro. There is no other means than physical separation. This is the only and last way to make her forget about revenge and live well.
If he could, Rentaro also hoped that he was an existence that could make Ki happier. If only we could teach her all the joys of being a woman and help her reach the pinnacle of happiness. It's a pity that it can't be done.
"What's your attitude?"
For some reason, Kigen seemed to be very unhappy with Rentaro's cold reaction.
"Satomi-san, is it okay if you are found guilty? Didn't Satomi-san kill him? It makes so much sense. ”
Mu Gengfeng turned around and lowered his head with a red face. He rubbed his thighs timidly.
"You know that I can't fight for long because of my chronic diabetes? So、So after that, I still have to rely on Satomi-san to protect me.。 To be honest, I'm a very weak girl. ”
Rentaro couldn't help but shake his head: "Please, Miss Kigen, don't come back in the future." ”
"Why? Why do you say that? Do you hate me? ”
Rentaro's gaze was straight at Kisara.
- Thank you, Ms. Kisara. Ever since I was adopted by the Tendo family ten years ago, I've been thanking Miss Kigen. Although Miss Kisara's parents sacrificed my hands and feet when they were preyed on by protozoa, the only thing I was proud of was the only thing I was proud of to be protecting Miss Kigen.
I like you, Miss Kigen.
"Please don't come to see me again. I don't want to see your face again. That's it. ”
At the same time as the chair sounded, Mu Geng slammed his feet, his hands covering his mouth, tears spilling from his eyes sliding down his cheeks.
"What is this... What? ”
No matter how much he wiped it, Mu Geng's eyes still kept flowing with tears.
I'm afraid she didn't expect to cry at this time. After saying "oops", she immediately turned around and tried to snatch the door out of the reception room.
Rentaro said to himself - this is better.
Regarding the back of Kigen reaching out to hold the doorknob, Rentaro insisted on watching it as a punishment for himself.
When Kigen's figure was about to disappear behind the door, Rentaro couldn't hold back his tears.
- Don't go, Miss Kisara.
Tears fell from the tip of her nose, and water stains spread across his trousers.
The pain of losing forever something that cannot be replaced made Rentaro lower his voice and whimper.
The image of the Tendo Civil Security Company being torn apart quietly spreads in Rentaro's mind.
"It's really embarrassing, Rentaro." A lazy voice startled Rentaro, who was immersed in his thoughts.
"Mr. Lunas?" Rentaro recognized the person at once, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Seeing me so embarrassed really disappointed Mr. Lunas." ”
"I'm not here to see you as a defeated dog," Lunas looked at Rentaro's dead fish eyes and said very seriously, "There are two choices in front of you now,"
"One, escape from prison with me, I believe that with my strength, it is really not difficult at all........"
"This kind of thing........ How could it be! Rentaro immediately retorted.
"Two, wait here, obediently wait for the judgment, of course, the ending will definitely be very disappointing to you."
Hearing this, Satomi Rentaro clenched his hands tightly.
"Okay," Lunas nodded slightly, showing respect for Rentaro's choice, "By the way, I'll give you a warm reminder, you're going to meet a big guy tomorrow........"
As he spoke, Lunas's figure disappeared into the parlor as if it had never been there.
........
The next day-
"Why...", I don't know how many times this is the first time Rentaro opened his mouth slightly and muttered "why?" as he looked out at the Sacred Residence, the first ward of Tokyo, standing in front of him.
Why are you here?
In retrospect, it should have felt suspicious from the instructions that were sent this morning not in tracksuits but in uniforms and asked him to change into. After all, as soon as he was sent to the detention center, he was warned by the jailer for a long time that the belt and buttons should not be kept.
Two jailers and the driver let Rentaro get into a van and drive on a different road than he usually went to the District Prosecutor's Office, and it was only then that Rentaro realized that something was not quite right. However, he did not hold any emotion, and just accepted this fact lightly.
The scenery outside the van window was lifeless and gloomy in his eyes.
Since the incident of Kigen. Rentaro was sluggish from the stimuli of the outside world and fell into deep thought for a long time.
He tried to pick up the pleasant memories, the happy ones, and let himself sink into them. However, the memory of the Tiantong Civil Security Company that Rentaro desperately reviewed was still unexpectedly short-lived.
"Hey, turn forward, you're going to see the Son of Heaven."
After his consciousness returned to reality, he tried to drive his unfocused thoughts, and only when he finally understood did he suddenly come back to his senses.
"Lord Son of Heaven?"
Do as the jailer says, and a key reaches into his handcuffs. Let Rentaro's hands be set free.
The rope that was tied around his waist like a dog leash was also untied, and two jailers carried him forward one after the other.
It seems that there has been contact beforehand, and the guards standing upright at the door of the Holy House let them pass with a little salute.
After waiting in a reception room with an eagle statue and many trophies, they were taken to the hall where the event was held. The soaring ceiling depicts arched lines. Mosaic puzzles on polished shiny floors. Marble columns stand side by side. Any decoration is beyond the scale of human common sense, and I thought I had accidentally run into the giant's house.
The scene in the Holy Seil was so lavish and exquisite that it could not be compared to the lead-gray walls of the interrogation room and the detention center. Rentaro's mood is also a little more cheerful because of this.
"Hey, take this."
It's amazing. The jailer who said this handed over the police license that was confiscated by Rentaro when he was arrested.
"What's going on? What's next? ”
The jailer did not answer.
Just nudge Rentaro's back and let him stand behind the front of the gate. The door opened with a heavy thud, and bands of light shot through it.
Walking inside, climbing to the top of the winding staircase, the Son of Heaven got up from the throne where he had been sitting and slowly walked in the direction of Rentaro.
The jailers on either side just straightened their backs.
With a wave of his hand, the jailer who was holding Lotus Taro couldn't help but feel flustered.
"It's dangerous to be alone with a prisoner, Lord Heaven."
"It doesn't have to be too much. Step aside. ”
The nerve-wracking jailer looked at each other, and then reluctantly disappeared to the other end of the door.
So in this extremely large space, only Rentaro and the Son of Heaven were left.
"It's been a long time."
The Son of Heaven said these words with a smile, but his tone was implied with pathos.
"Of course, you are the head of state, I am a police officer, and I would not have met without something special."
That's a good thing. Since the police are very idle, it means that the world is very peaceful. ”
"That's right."
Rentaro shook his shoulders slightly, and the Son of Heaven covered his mouth with his hand and smiled implicitly. There was a relaxed atmosphere flowing between the two.
"What are you looking for me?"
The Son of Heaven crossed his hands in front of the skirt of the dress and straightened his posture: "Does Mr. Satomi know where public opinion is heading now?" ”
"It's a pity. I don't see newspapers or TV in the detention center. ”
"Public opinion is that it is necessary to re-examine the private security companies that fought desperately to protect the Tokyo area during the Third Kanto War. And Mr. Satomi's arrest of the current culprit at the scene of the murder is the fuse that this kind of public opinion has been waiting for for a long time. ”
"Do you think I killed someone too?"
The Son of Heaven shook his head.
"I don't know. I can't judge my position. ”
"You're the head of state."
"I am the head of the administrative unit, but I cannot interfere with the judiciary."
Rentaro senses that the conversation is not quite going and breaks out in a cold sweat. Why was I deliberately called to the Holy Residence today? Again, he thought it was incredible.
"I have sad news today, so I have to tell Mr. Satomi."
The Son of Heaven stopped the topic for a moment and raised his face: "Mr. Satomi, your civil security company promoter license has expired. ”
"What!"
License invalidation? It means-
Ignoring the consternation in Rentaro's heart, the Son of Heaven turned away.
"The matter has been decided."
His clenched fists trembled violently. Rentaro took out the license from the ID sleeve and handed it to the Son of Heaven with a trembling hand.
The Holy Son of Heaven, who wanted to stop talking, hastened his steps and left the Holy Abode.
Whether it is a painting decorated in the corridor with a market price of 50 million, or a brass vase engraved with arabesque patterns, it cannot make the mood of the Son of Heaven better.
Walking in the corridor after leaving the hall to return to his dormitory, he noticed a man in a traditional white kimono approaching him. The white-haired and white-bearded man had a physique, so strong that he didn't look like he was in old age at all.
He is the political hero who assists the Holy Son of Heaven, and the prince of Tiantong Ju.
"Your Majesty has worked hard."
"Ju Zhi Cheng Xianqing........ So is it really good to do? ”
