After clarifying the truth of the matter, finding the real culprit naturally didn't take much effort.
It was just a surgery from seven years ago, all that was needed was to follow Yamada Yonegoro's dical records to identify at which hospital the operation took place, and then retrieve the relevant archival records to find out who had provided the hematopoietic stem cells.
As expected, following this clue, Officer Maori and his team spent less than a day to identify the true suspect. However, this person was indeed living a deplorable life without a fixed abode, wandering among several parks and surviving on relief funds.
After committing the cri, this person naturally did not stay in one place waiting for the police to catch him but chose to flee.
Unfortunately for him, he was too poor; even though he had stolen so valuable items, he lacked the connections to fence them. Therefore, he didn't get far. Within two or three days under police manhunt, he was dug out from under a railway bridge where he was hiding, and all the stolen goods were recovered from his hideout.
There's not much to say about the arrested man's background. He used to be a construction worker with a ager inco but managed a passable life with a wife and kids, an ordinary mber of society's lower class. It was precisely because his life was bearable that he donated bone marrow to Yamada Yonegoro seven years ago, allowing him to undergo a transplant operation.
But fate is fickle, and five years ago his construction company went bankrupt, suddenly rendering him jobless. And without a job, he could no longer support his family, which led his wife to take the children back to her parents' ho, leaving behind only a divorce agreent.
And since the house was rented, unable to pay rent, he had no choice but to beco a holess man, drifting between parks and under bridges, living off governnt relief funds.
But thanks to his foundation as a construction worker, he was still fairly strong and, being familiar with building structures, he would occasionally engage in petty theft to slightly better his living conditions.
This ti was no different; life had beco particularly tough after the winter, and he simply wanted to steal sothing valuable to improve his situation.
However, when he broke into Miyoshi Yoko's house and saw her past swimsuit photos on the wall, his long-suppressed sexual desires exploded. Moreover, when he saw Yoko, who had woken up to investigate the noise wearing only a nightgown, his animalistic urges took over, and the sexual assault that followed was, regrettably, all too understandable.
As for why he committed murder, he only wanted to stop Yoko from screaming, so he strangled her. During the assault, he applied too much force and ended up killing her.
After the act, the man fell into both regret and panic, hastily grabbing so valuables and fleeing the cri scene.
He hid away in his usual haunts, haunted by the fact he had committed murder. He planned to quickly offload the stolen goods and then hide sowhere else until the heat died down, but due to his lack of experience in fencing more valuable items, he found himself stuck, unable to dispose of the loot.
Moreover, learning from the newspapers that the police had apprehended a suspect, he harbored a slim hope and didn't rush to flee, which allowed the police to eventually nab him at his hiding place.
After being arrested, although he tried to lie, he couldn't hold up against the already frustrated officers. After a few rounds of "technical questioning," he confessed to everything.
With the actual criminal caught, Yamada Yonegoro was naturally cleared of all suspicion and released without charge.
Even though he had the misfortune of visiting the police station, learning the whole story and knowing that his child's DNA matched his own was an unexpected gain for Yonegoro. For a mont, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
With the case concluded, Misumi Mikoto naturally made a call to Chen Yu to report the resolution. After all, Chen Yu had been a lot of help from beginning to end, and while Kube Rokuro had been in touch previously, as Chen Yu's apprentice, Mikoto felt she should still maintain contact with her ntor, so he wouldn't forget he had such a disciple.
Especially since Chen Yu had promised to teach her the real ditation Technique, but despite passing the test before he returned to China, he had not taught her the thod.
It was supposed to be taught once he was back from China, but during that ti, both Chen Yu and Mikoto had been busy with work and had forgotten about it.
So when Mikoto rembered, she naturally needed to moan to her ntor about it, hoping he would fulfill his promise sooner.
Although Mikoto had already learned the Clairvoyance, which she was most interested in from necromancy, now that she had entered this realm, she was very curious about the other necromantic spells as well.
————————————————————
When Chen Yu received Mikoto's call, he was doing a routine check-up for Nanami.
"Sorry, Nanami, your brother needs to take a call," he apologized to Nanami after glancing at his ringing phone, signaled to Jounouchi Hiromi to continue with the check-up, and then stepped aside to answer the call.
"iqin? What brings you to call all of a sudden? Is it about the case, has there been a result?" Chen Yu could guess why Mikoto might be calling and wasn't surprised by it.
"Yes, based on the dical records you sent over, the police have caught the real criminal who has also confessed to the cri. Mr. Yamada Yonegoro has been exonerated and released. Now, all that's left is for the case to go to trial and be judged for this to co to an end," Mikoto briefly explained the situation over the phone, and also brought up the ditation Technique Chen Yu had promised to teach her: "ntor, when can you teach the ditation Technique you promised? I happen to have so free ti right now, and I can focus on learning…"
"Hmm, it's indeed ti to teach you so real skills. But not in the next couple of days, I'm dealing with an important patient right now. Once I'm done with this patient." Chen Yu thought about it and decided to put off teaching Mikoto the spells until after Nanami's surgery: "Ryosen-kun will teach you the ditation Technique and so basic necromantic spells first. You should study them on your own, and if you have questions, ask later."
"Is that so? Alright, I understand, I'll go to Kyuuzai-san." Mikoto sounded a touch disappointed upon hearing Chen Yu's response but still agreed.
