After the Undercover System Went Haywire, I Switched to Grinding Suspicion Points Chapter 149
Besides gasping, no one spoke. Everyone who heard was exchanging glances.
In this mont, suspicion values poured in across the distance. Though Usuha Izuki had worked several extra hours, the overti was absolutely worth it!
Inspector gure was so frightened his mind went blank for several seconds before carefully asking: "How did Kitami die?"
"Killed by Miss Fukasawa. You'll understand when you get here."
After reporting a string of addresses, he hung up. The investigation headquarters fell silent.
"Inspector..." Shiratori Ninzaburo asked with difficulty. "Is Kitami really dead?"
Inspector gure was also dazed: "Samukawa has no reason to lie. He should really be dead."
Shiratori Ninzaburo's partner couldn't help wondering—did Miss Fukasawa really kill him? Samukawa Shinryu wouldn't have done anything underhanded, would he? After all, Miss Fukasawa was ntally ill with uncontrollable behavior, easily influenced by external factors. If it was Samukawa Shinryu, being able to control Miss Fukasawa's actions was possible too. That guy seed capable of it...
Hagiwara Kenji imdiately asked: "If Miss Fukasawa killed him, will it implicate him?"
Shiratori Ninzaburo also felt this was a serious issue—Kitami Hitoshi's father was a Police Superintendent. If his son died while on a mission with soone, taking it out on the accompanying person would be all too normal. Even if not enough to kill you, using so thods to tornt you into requesting resignation wasn't impossible.
Inspector gure took a deep breath: "This... depends on the subsequent investigation."
When Samukawa Shinryu ca to him saying the mastermind was Kitami Hitoshi, Inspector gure found it hard to believe, but everything Samukawa Shinryu had said before proved true. This ti he'd also very rationally and confidently said he needed Inspector gure's assistance to find evidence.
"How should I assist you?"
"I need to be alone with Kitami Hitoshi to extract information."
This sounded fairly normal. Inspector gure agreed, repeatedly emphasizing: "Just extract information! Don't do anything else! Especially don't let anyone suspect you coerced a confession! Otherwise, given the slightest chance of a reversal, his father won't let you go."
Samukawa Shinryu had agreed, so Inspector gure had cooperated, letting Kitami Hitoshi go out alone with Samukawa Shinryu.
Now Kitami Hitoshi was directly dead.
If Samukawa Shinryu hadn't obtained solid evidence, then...
Shiratori Ninzaburo's partner couldn't help muttering again: "Why didn't Kitami think twice about going out with Samukawa?"
Inspector gure wanted to say sothing but held back: "Anyway, let's get over there first."
After all, the criminal being a high official's son—before getting evidence, better not speak carelessly. Wait until reaching the scene to assess the situation!
With ntal illness, deaths, and catching criminals, the investigation headquarters sent several cars crowding over.
Looking up, this abandoned building in the middle of the night looked quite ominous—exactly like a place for murder and hiding bodies.
When assembling, the officers had generally understood what happened. Now getting out of cars one by one, those responsible for road blocks set them up, those handling lighting began installing lighting equipnt, those following Inspector gure inside went in—division of labor clear and precise.
Hagiwara Kenji stayed very close. If not for considering hierarchical factors, he might have rushed ahead of the portly Inspector gure.
No matter how much trouble Samukawa Shinryu had caused before, none was as sensitive as this ti. Was Kitami Hitoshi's status soone who could just die casually?
Of course he believed Little Shinryu wouldn't so recklessly kill people—even kill police—but this didn't an everything was fine if Little Shinryu hadn't killed him. Rather, that's when all the problems would start!
And why act independently? Why not call him along? Wasn't he Little Shinryu's partner?!
Inspector gure suddenly stopped, causing everyone behind to halt.
They saw a girl in work clothes, handcuffed, wandering aimlessly in the abandoned building. Thinking this person had just killed their colleague and was ntally ill made all the officers shudder.
Facing madn, everyone felt more fear than facing ordinary people, because ntal patients were illogical and unpredictable.
"What's Samukawa doing... how can he let her wander around like this..."
Soone couldn't help complaining, then the next second heard the person in question respond.
"Because there are no railings installed here yet. I couldn't find anywhere to cuff her, and I didn't want to cuff her to myself—if the evidence got damaged from a fall, that would be troubleso."
Inspector gure's eyes lit up, imdiately looking toward the voice.
He saw a suited youth walking slowly from around a corner. Inspector gure's flashlight instinctively shone on him, imdiately illuminating blood stains on his cuffs, lower hem, and knees.
Everyone: ".................."
Inspector gure paused before finding his voice: "Where's Kitami?"
Usuha Izuki said carelessly: "Still upstairs. Soone take Miss Fukasawa away first."
Inspector gure's team imdiately sent several people to nervously escort away Fukasawa Yukari—this was a ntal patient! She might suddenly attack!
The remaining people followed behind Usuha Izuki continuing upstairs.
Inspector gure had many questions he wanted to ask, but most importantly, he needed to confirm one thing: "Did you get the evidence?"
"Got it. I placed a video cara here in advance—everything that needed recording was recorded."
Are you kidding? He'd specifically chosen this location—would he really co without any preparation?
He knew that with Kitami Hitoshi's personality, at the first location he'd definitely wait for him to speak first. As long as he didn't budge and waited until here to act, the battlefield would be completely under his control.
Fortunately, Kitami Hitoshi was very cooperative. When unaware of his identity, he hadn't revealed the slightest intelligence related to the "yakuza detective." Otherwise, Date Wataru and Kitami Hitoshi's partner knew he called himself a detective—following that trail would be troubleso.
If that had happened, he'd have had to swallow his anger and buy so cheats from the system to secretly edit the video... Now he'd saved another sum of points. Usuha Izuki was very satisfied.
Unaware of losing potential inco, the system was quite happy: [Feels like you can still get ho to sleep before midnight.]
[A bit difficult. I'll try my best to see if I can skip the report.]
System: [............You have to write this report yourself! Kitami Hitoshi who was with you is dead!!!]
Usuha Izuki didn't care. He hated such troubleso things most. Ignoring the system, he continued telling Inspector gure: "Kitami also confessed to other cris. Very honest."
Inspector gure: "............"
Kitami had no idea you'd placed a video cara here...
Shiratori Ninzaburo asked confusedly: "Wait, what does Kitami confessing to other cris an? He was the criminal?"
"Yes, a high official's son." Usuha Izuki deliberately turned to look at Shiratori Ninzaburo's partner. "'Strawberry Night' was founded by him. Whether his father knew is unclear."
Shiratori Ninzaburo's partner went completely stupid, opening his mouth but unable to say a complete sentence.
—The criminal was really a high official's son?! Did he have to eat shit while doing a handstand?! No way...!!!
"Where's the evidence!" The partner now seed more anxious than Inspector gure. "What did he say?! Did he admit it directly?"
Inspector gure looked at this person's sudden excitent in confusion: "Calm down..."
Usuha Izuki stopped walking: "Since he's already dead, we might as well look at the evidence first."
Inspector gure: "...What kind of way is that to put it? Anyway, forensics should go up first."
That was the logic, but when Samukawa Shinryu said it, it seed particularly cold! What strange enhancent was this!
Hagiwara Kenji had been silent, but now quietly occupied the position closest to Usuha Izuki, planning to see how exactly Kitami had died.
A group of officers surrounded Usuha Izuki, watching the playback on the handheld cara's small screen.
The parts without activity were fast-forwarded. Only when human figures appeared did it return to normal speed.
The cara position wasn't ideal, so distance from where events occurred, but sufficient to see what happened. As for sound, Kitami Hitoshi was inexplicably excited and agitated with a loud voice, so his words were distinguishable, but Samukawa Shinryu was too calm—his voice was barely audible.
As Kitami Hitoshi exposed himself, the officers' expressions beca strange. When Kitami Hitoshi suddenly ambushed Samukawa Shinryu, everyone gasped.
Hagiwara Kenji, feeling retroactive fear, directly grabbed Usuha Izuki's shoulder, originally planning to communicate privately with Usuha Izuki later, but now emotionally exclaiming: "Why didn't you call along? You knew he had ill intentions! This was too dangerous! If his marksmanship had been a little better..."
"I initially just wanted to negotiate with him. If you were there, he might not have said anything." Usuha Izuki explained.
Hagiwara Kenji wanted to say more, but Inspector gure patted him. The video was still continuing—he could only swallow his words and keep watching.
Kitami Hitoshi's words indeed proved he was the mastermind behind "Strawberry Night." When Fukasawa Yukari appeared, Kitami Hitoshi inexplicably began reminiscing, recounting his past misdeeds while analyzing why his pursuit of thrills kept escalating, trying to give his actions a veneer of righteousness. Now even Inspector gure, who'd just been comforting Hagiwara Kenji, couldn't stay calm. All the officers beca furious.
After all, what Kitami Hitoshi had done was truly inhuman! Anyone with a sense of justice would want this guy to get his couppance!
Finally, they saw the scene of Kitami Hitoshi's death—Samukawa Shinryu hadn't said a word. Kitami Hitoshi ambushed again, then actively approached Miss Fukasawa's side, only to get his throat slashed.
What followed was Samukawa Shinryu's rescue attempt. Though his back was to the cara and his actions weren't clearly visible, it proved Samukawa Shinryu had indeed tried to save him. But with a severed major artery, survival was impossible—couldn't bla him.
Inspector gure put away the cara: "This is indeed very solid evidence, sufficient to close the case... You worked hard, Samukawa. Don't do this next ti—too dangerous. Actually relying more on teammates would be better..."
"I really did work hard." Usuha Izuki said imdiately. "Can I go back and rest? I'm covered in blood."
Inspector gure: "...? Ah, this..."
Usuha Izuki looked at him pointedly: "The entire process is in the video. There shouldn't be any necessity for to stay, right? Can soone help write the report?"
Inspector gure: ".................."
—For so reason, he suspected Samukawa Shinryu chose a video cara instead of an audio recorder because he didn't want to write a report...
