I am a literary giant in Japan

Chapter 195 You are not worthy of writing books, nor of calling yourself a writer, let alone talking about literature!

"You don't regret it, you just know you're going to die."

Kitagawa Hide's last words hit Shinichiro Azuma like a heavy hammer.

At this time, Shinichiro Azuma was still half-bowed with his mouth slightly open in surprise.

He was a bit unresponsive.

He was interrupted by Kitagawa Hide before he could say thank you.

His emotions were at the peak of excitement at the moment, and then he was inexplicably poured with cold water.

It feels so frustrating.

Recalling the way Kitagawa Hide just laughed and patted his cheek, that tone and that mocking expression.
He felt very familiar.

Wasn't that the same expression he had when he faced those murdered children and their grief-stricken parents?
Would you be so angry if someone joked with you like this?
"You bastard."

Shinichiro Tou gritted his teeth and felt like his lower lip was about to be bitten through.

Boundless anger burned from the bottom of my heart.

Clench your hands into fists.

His eyes were red and his eyes were about to burst.

It turned out that he had seen through his own thoughts from the very beginning.

He clearly knew everything, yet he could still pretend as if nothing had happened, as if he really wanted to repent!
He had clearly been planning to play a "joke" on me like this, but he still acted mysteriously to provoke my emotions!

asshole!

asshole!

asshole!

Kill you!

Kill you!

Kill you!

"You bastard!!!"

Shinichiro Tou suddenly lost control of his emotions and was completely defeated!
Before, when I was in the family court, I knew that the civil servants here could not do anything to me, so even if I knew I was wrong and committed a crime, I would do my best to defend myself.

Therefore, he always looks at everything with a joking attitude and a look down upon others.

In order to make things more interesting and make the adults more anxious, he even deliberately admitted to the crime and then refused to admit that he had a mental illness.

The main purpose is to disgust you.

These days, the officials at the Family Court have completely lost their patience and empathy for him.

They know it better than anyone else.

Those imprisoned here are not lost lambs, but real little devils.

But even so, they had no way to punish Shinichiro Tou.

But today.

Everyone present witnessed Shinichiro Azuma's emotional roller coaster ride, from full of hope to dashed hopes to his current emotional breakdown.

Originally this was an excessive thing.

To be honest, what Mr. Beichuan did was a bit disregarding of his status and a bit of bullying.

But I don't know why.
I feel so good!
The presiding judge was happy, the judges were happy, the civil servants were happy, and the bailiffs who were with Kitagawa Hide were also happy!

Therefore, before Shinichiro Higashi could even swing his fist, his thin body was held down by several bailiffs!

"You guy! Don't act rashly!" The bailiffs showed no mercy and handcuffed his hands behind his back and pressed him to the ground, making it impossible for him to cause any harm to Kitagawa Hide.

"It hurts so much!" Shinichiro Higashi didn't expect the bailiffs to be serious. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat and the anger in his heart turned into pain.

Of course they didn't dare to hold back.

The person next to you is a “national teacher”!
Don't say you're a juvenile delinquent with an uncertain future.

Even if the presiding judge was standing here, he would have to smile at Kitagawa Hide.

At the age of 24, Kitagawa Hide's money, social status, and national popularity are still rising rapidly, and no one can tell where his future limits will be.

Any civil servant with a common sense would not want to offend or become enemies with such a young writer.

“You’ve been pretending to be very mature, acting like you’re superior even after killing someone.

Do you feel that we adults are just your toys?
Do you think that as long as the Juvenile Law exists, you are a man of destiny and can do whatever you want?

Actually in my eyes.

You are just a childish, ridiculous little brat who only wants to attract attention.

Literature is a bridge to show the beauty of the human soul, not a tool to show off your little things.

You are not worthy of writing books, nor of calling yourself a writer, let alone of mentioning literature!"

Kitagawa Hide squatted down, looked at Shinichiro Azuma who looked like he wanted to eat him, and said word by word.

He himself is not that extreme in character, and doesn't like to say harsh words.

But this man, this juvenile delinquent, really made him sick.

The murder was cruel and he deliberately showed off on the Internet. He refused to change his ways despite repeated admonitions and even mocked the victim's family in various ways.

Forget it all.

He even dared to write his murder experience into a book and sell it, causing secondary harm to the victim.

Kitagawa Hide admits that he is not a literary figure at present, but his love for literature has never changed in his two lives.

Literature cannot be ruined by such people.

After making a mistake, he doesn't want to receive education, but wants to continue to take advantage of loopholes.

It’s so damned!
Crime and Punishment is right.

Some people are born with the ability to evade legal sanctions.

But there are some people who are born bad and should be severely punished!
Kitagawa Hide stood up, picked up the crumpled apology letter, and after thinking for a while, he felt that there was no real sincerity in it, so he put it back.

Instead of an apology, let him confess alone facing the wall during his long prison life.

Just as he was about to leave, Shinichiro Tou suddenly shouted, "Kitagawa Hide!"

He paused without looking back. "I won't be sentenced to death! As long as I plead guilty and have a good attitude, even if you revise the Juvenile Law, the most I can get is life imprisonment or suspended death sentence.

I already knew that.

In Japan, life imprisonment and suspended death penalty can be easily reduced in sentence as long as one behaves well.

Moreover, I am still a minor, so my sentence will be reduced faster than that of other prisoners.

In five years at most, I'll be able to get out.

Guess what the first thing I'm going to do when I get out?
You have a girlfriend, right? I know her, her name is my wife."

Kitagawa Hide didn't even finish listening to what he said and left without looking back.

The presiding judge and others hurriedly ran out.

"Teacher Beichuan, that kid has gone insane! Don't take his threats seriously."

"He is not mentally ill, he is very healthy." Kitagawa Hide interrupted the presiding judge.

The presiding judge nodded awkwardly and smiled: "Yes, yes, he is not sick."

"That's it, please go back, this matter ends here." Kitagawa Hide turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, okay, then, take care, Mr. Kitagawa. You are welcome to come to the Family Court often to teach those children in the future."

The presiding judge really couldn't think of anything that could continue to contact Kitagawa Hide, so he had to bite the bullet and say this.

It is also common for social elites to come to the family court to assist in guiding and educating juvenile offenders.

"Okay, I'll come again if I have the chance." Kitagawa Hide said as he got into his Benz.

As he sat in the back seat, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

The driver driving the front seat was Kinoshita, whom he had temporarily requested from his big boss Shizuko Kawaide.

There was another person sitting in the back row - Hiroshi Yamaguchi, chairman of the National Liaison Association of Lawyers for Inspirational Commercial Law Strategies.

As soon as Kitagawa Hideichi got into the car, he told him everything that happened in the family court.

The two of them met when they were lecturing at the University of Tokyo.

After exchanging business cards that day, Hiroshi Yamaguchi also invited Hide Kitagawa to serve as the honorary president of the liaison association.

Kitagawa Hideya took the opportunity to introduce him to Tomiichi Murayama, and then Tomiichi Murayama and Hiroshi Yamaguchi worked together to bring down Aum Shinrikyo.

Since the cult was destroyed, Hiroshi Yamaguchi's Lawyers Liaison Association has been committed to helping the public and providing legal aid and other public welfare undertakings to vulnerable groups in need.

Every time the donation box at the door of "Peter Cat" was filled with members of the yakuza organization, Mengzi would take them out and give them to the liaison association as charity funds for public welfare.

It can also be considered as accumulating some merit for those extreme people.

By the way, Kitagawa Hide is now the honorary president of the liaison association.

However, Hiroshi Yamaguchi basically never asked him to do anything, but the monthly salary of 10 yen was always deposited into Kitagawa Hide's bank account on time.

After listening to how Shinichiro Higashi broke through the defense, Hiroshi Yamaguchi breathed a sigh of relief and felt very happy!
Many people think that lawyers are conscienceless bastards who make dirty money.

Indeed, the legal profession is full of such money-driven guys, but there are also many lawyers with a strong sense of justice who are willing to use the knowledge they have learned and legal weapons to help the disadvantaged groups speak out.

Shinichiro Tou killed elementary school students and kindergarteners, which made Hiroshi Yamaguchi, who was already married, very disgusted.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, even if the Juvenile Law is amended, is there really no chance of sentencing him to death?" asked Kitagawa Hide.

Yamaguchi Hiroshi sighed and nodded, "The criminal is so young, and being able to amend the law to make him bear criminal responsibility is already the limit of what the judicial legislation community can do.

Looking around the world, prisoners of this age group are generally considered to be immature mentally, taking into account the unlimited possibilities they have in the future.

In the future, it will be common for the court to dismiss the prosecution's death penalty charges because it cannot be concluded that the prisoner has no chance of rehabilitation.

It is difficult to sentence such juvenile offenders to death, not only in Japan but also in any other country.”

There are too many complexities involved, not only judicial and legislative issues, but also human ethics and power struggles among those in power.

In Hiroshi Yamaguchi's opinion, it was already remarkable that Hide Kitagawa had been able to push things to this point!

It can be called a miracle!
"But don't worry, Mr. Beichuan. I have a young daughter myself, and I can't imagine how someone could be so cruel as to hit such an innocent little girl with a hammer and brutally kill her.

If the judiciary cannot severely punish such people, what is the point of the judiciary? I absolutely do not agree with such a verdict!
Once we succumb to such a trial result, this case will become the benchmark for judges to make decisions in the future and will also become a crime indicator for juvenile offenders.

So I will never allow this to happen!
Even if everyone in the legal profession objects, I will continue to prosecute.

Even if I fail a hundred times, I will try the hundred and first time.

Teacher Beichuan, let us work together to promote judicial reform! "

Yamaguchi Hiroshi clenched his fist and spoke like a young man.

He spontaneously contacted the victims' families, provided them with free legal aid, and has been paying close attention to the matter because he hopes that he can promote judicial reform through unremitting efforts like Kitagawa Hide.

Maybe Shinichiro Azuma will not be sentenced to death now, but as long as he keeps doing it, it is possible!
Kitagawa Hide nodded slightly.

But he knew it in his heart.

This was the first juvenile offender in Japanese history to be sentenced to death. The final trial of the case was in 2008, 12 years ago.

The judicial reforms that Hiroshi Yamaguchi wanted were indeed achieved.

But it is ineffective against Shinichiro Tou.

At present, it seems impossible to be promoted this year.

Thinking of the last words that Shinichiro Tou said to him as a threat, Kitagawa Hide suddenly laughed.

Although the law protects you, I will not forgive you!
Everyone thought it was just a line in "Confessions".

I thought that what Kitagawa Hide said in the interview was just to promote his new book and to vent his disgust and hatred towards Shinichiro Azuma.

But in fact.

Revenge like that of Yuko Moriguchi is not completely impossible to be reflected in reality.

"Yamaguchi-san, there's an old saying next door, 'It takes evil to punish evil.'"

Kitagawa Hide suddenly said to him,

"It means that what can punish evil people is not the law, not justice, but even more evil people."

Hiroshi Yamaguchi nodded continuously as he listened, but his face was full of confusion.

What does this mean, Mr. Kitagawa?
