Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 147: One person dies in one day of detention
"First of all, according to my duty, I need to clearly inform the suspect that he has the right to remain silent..."

As soon as Kazama Takusai opened his mouth, Fushimi Shika frowned. Gen Tamaki didn't think there was anything wrong with it, thinking that he was indeed a senior who paid attention to the details of the rules.

"And I need to make it clear that the suspect will not be subject to adverse inferences or penalties for exercising the right to remain silent. You have the right to hire a lawyer and can request that a lawyer be present during the interrogation. If the suspect expresses the desire to meet with a lawyer, the police must wait for the lawyer to arrive before conducting the interrogation..."

Takusai Kazama was like an emotionless reading machine. Before he finished speaking, Kamei Riko interrupted him and said, "I want to see a lawyer!"

After these words were spoken, the interrogation naturally could not continue.

Fushimi Shika couldn't figure out what leverage Kamei Yuryo had over Kazama Takusai that made him so fearful that he didn't even dare to use his signature skill, the Great Memory Restoration Technique.

Even if Kazama Takusai had killed someone, so what? Even if Kamei Yuryo had evidence of murders by three generations of Kazama's family, as long as he entered the interrogation room, wouldn't Kazama Takusai have the final say? If Kazama Takusai was really cruel, Kamei Yuryo would become a vegetable in the detention center in a matter of minutes, and it would be useless even if he had ironclad evidence.

A suspect accuses a criminal police officer. Regardless of whether the judge believes it or not, who in the police station who is in charge of the interrogation will care?
If Kamei Youliang really wants to report it, who can let him walk out of the interrogation room?
Fushimi Shika was puzzled. Could it be that Kazama Takusai had betrayed his country? Was he actually a hidden spy? Otherwise, why would he let him go like this?
Seeing that Senior Kazama could not come to a conclusion, Gen Tamako skipped the case for now and waited for Mrs. Kamei to hire a lawyer or the court to assign one. She did not intend to sit idle either, so she transferred Kamei Yuryo to the interrogation room for the next step of the interrogation.

This time she and Fushimi Shika personally took the stage, with Fushimi Shika presiding as usual and her assisting. At the beginning, Gen Tamako followed suit and informed Kamei Yuryo of the rights that the suspect had, following the template that Kazama Takusai had just used.

Kamei Youliang didn't care. He didn't shout that he wanted to see a lawyer. Instead, he tilted his head and observed the one-way mirror with interest.

"May I ask what is your relationship with the victim?"

"..."

"May I ask where you were on the day of the incident?"

"..."

"Don't you have anything you want to confess?"

"..."

After being ignored three times in a row, Yuan Yuzi was no longer happy. She was an official interrogator after all, how could the suspect ignore her? Even if he wanted to remain silent, he should at least declare in advance that he didn't want to talk, right?

He didn't take her seriously at all, it was so abominable!
She had thought that Kamei Yuryo had a good personality before. He was so gentle and talkative when they were eating hotpot together, but now he seemed like a different person... As expected, Fushimi-kun was right. People's hearts are hidden, and criminals are illogical.

You can't be soft-hearted in the face of evil, otherwise the so-called justice is just empty talk. Yuan Yuzi still understands this truth. She tried her best to squeeze out the most ferocious little expression she could imagine, with her mouth pouting high, her eyebrows wrinkled into a ball, and her little hand slapped the table, asking the suspect to confess quickly!
Kamei Youliang finally responded. He turned around and asked, "Can we talk alone?"

"How can this be possible? The interrogation process must be recorded..."

Before Gen Tamako could finish her words, Officer Sakai closed the notebook, stood up and left the interrogation room.

This was the suspect's own request. No matter what was written in the interrogation record afterwards, the suspect had to admit it. There were no cameras to record the law enforcement process in those days, and even the new interrogation supervision department was not established until 1993...

Yuan Yuzi was confused. She was about to ask what was going on when she saw the one-way glass suddenly darken. Officer Sakai pulled down the "curtain" before leaving, completely isolating the inside and outside of the interrogation room.

"Go ahead." Fushimi Shika said calmly, "Now there are only three of us."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuzi perked up and opened his little notebook to start recording.

Kamei Yuryo asked, "How is your relationship with Kazama Takusai?"

Fushimi Shika didn't answer. He turned to look at Gen Tamaki, who said in a serious tone: "I respect Senior Kazama very much. He is a superior who is like a teacher to me...but this has nothing to do with this case. If you want to use your connections to get in through the back door, you are wrong! Neither I nor Senior Kazama will bend the law for personal gain!" "It's just that the connection is not strong enough." Kamei Yuryo said.

Without waiting for Yuan Yuzi to refute, he changed the subject and continued, "Fushimi-kun should know that it is meaningless even if you catch me... unless you intend to torture me to extract a confession."

Yuan Yuzi wanted to ask what this meant, but she was afraid of being embarrassed, so she turned her head to look at Fushimi Shika. The latter lived up to her expectations and continued the conversation very naturally. Although she didn't quite understand, she still nodded in agreement.

"Everything depends on human efforts. Senior Kazama is too lazy to deal with you, but we have plenty of time." said Fushimi Shika.

"Really?" Kamei Youliang leaned back in his chair, "Do you remember the bet I mentioned to Mr. Kazama?"

"Remember." Fushimi Shika nodded.

"From today on, for every day I'm detained, one person will die outside." Kamei Youliang shrugged: "If you find it troublesome, you can also try to force a confession. I'm very afraid of pain. As long as I get beaten, I will confess everything."

He was sure that people like Yuan Yuzi would not do things like torture to extract confessions.

If the police officer in charge of the case is a lazy person who abuses his power, it would be even better. The other party would not argue with him at all and directly close the case as Mrs. Kamei's impulsive murder. With a ready-made suspect in front of them, only people like Minako would dig deep into the matter... People with a sense of justice will also pursue judicial justice.

The only problem is Fushimi Shika. He can't figure out which side this guy is on.

This is like a game that gives two options of passing the level, A or B. The NPC can either choose A or B, but players like Fushimi Shika will choose "or". Not only will they jump back and forth between A and B, they may even deliberately exploit bugs to come up with option C... In the food chain, such people are neither prey nor hunters, but just troublemakers.

As expected, when Fushimi heard this, he scratched his nose with interest and asked, "Is this true?"

"Why don't you try it and know?" Kamei Youliang said deliberately provocatively.

"So you admit your guilt?" Fushimi Shika asked back.

"Eh? I didn't say that..."

"Then let me ask you," Fushimi Shika crossed his fingers, "Do you plead guilty to the indirect murder of Kamei Yuta?"

"Wasn't what I just said clear enough? During my detention..."

"So what?" Fushimi Shika interrupted, "Everyone can brag. You are in the detention center. Even if the sky falls outside, it has nothing to do with you. Stop flattering yourself."

Kamei Youliang couldn't sit still any longer: "Just wait, there will be new victims tomorrow..."

Fushimi Shika knocked on the table, looking down and said, "What a joke, people die every day in Tokyo? According to what you said, all the victims in the world are related to you? Let's be honest, even if you use your shadow clone to blow up the Tokyo Tower, I will only ask you about the falling case!"

Gen Tamako listened and nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Fushimi-kun said made sense.

At first, she was almost fooled, and thought that Kamei Yuryo was a super-powerful perverted serial killer, and there were unknown victims or accomplices outside; however, after hearing what Fushimi-kun said, she realized that she was being led by the suspect...

But what does shadow clone mean? Is it some jargon?

Yuan Yuzi kept this word in mind and planned to ask her senior some questions. It seemed that she still had a lot to learn. Interrogating suspects was indeed a profound subject.
