In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

Do you think that under these circumstances, the police would still hastily cremate Ms. Matsui Yuki's body just because of your so-called family wishes, letting all possible truths disappear with the flames?

As long as the criminal coercive measures taken by professionals in accordance with the law...

"I told you to shut up!!!"

When Chiya Minamoto uttered the word "suicide," Kento Matsui finally broke down completely! He rushed straight towards him!

But Yuan Qianye didn't even look at him.

next moment--

"boom!"

A muffled thud!

Matsui Kento felt his forward-moving body suddenly lighten, and his vision spun around him.

Before he could even see what was happening, a sharp pain shot through his back, making his internal organs feel as if they had shifted, and he let out a painful groan.

Sergeant Michida, still in the position after the over-the-shoulder throw, glanced coldly at Matsui Kento, whom he had subdued in an instant, and gave a wink to the detective next to him.

Two people immediately stepped forward and firmly held down Matsui Kento, who was curled up on the ground in pain.

“I think the events of last night were roughly as follows,” Hattori Heiji said, nodding to Minamoto Chiya.

Having received his message, Gen Chiya, who was standing at the doorway, turned around and walked outside, looking at Matsui Kento and Arisu Shinju.

“Last night, the two of you returned to Ms. Matsui Yuki’s room.”

Perhaps you came back together, or perhaps one of you came back first and then discovered Ms. Matsui Yuki's condition, and frantically called for the other person.

But that's not important; what's important is what happens next.

In front of so many people, Gen Chiya, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, grasped the hand of Eriri, who was closest to him.

The intention was to compare the two of them to Kento Matsui and Shinju Ariyama at the time, and to give a brief demonstration of what happened last night.

Eriri's face turned red, but she could tell that he was acting on a serious matter.

So she obediently let him hold her hand without any resistance.

However, even without that reason, she would definitely not refuse, based on her own heart.

"You have discovered Ms. Matsui Yuki, who has committed suicide."

Inside the room, Hattori Heiji, following Minamoto Chiya's narration, assumed a kneeling position as if examining something.

"Ms. Matsui Yuki discovered your affair and, feeling betrayed, does not want you to receive the insurance money from her death."

Therefore, she chose suicide, perhaps by taking an overdose of drugs, or perhaps by some other means.

But by the time you realize it, it will be too late.

Gen Chiya led Eriri by the hand to Hattori and said, "After realizing that Ms. Matsui Yuki had committed suicide, you also realized a very serious problem for you."

At this moment, Inspector Kuma finally realized what was happening and blurted out, "If Ms. Matsui Yuki commits suicide, the insurance company will not pay out the insurance money!"

Hattori Heiji nodded: "That's right, she doesn't want the traitors to get any benefits from what she left behind."

Yuan Qianye continued, "And you two, having realized this, were shocked and panicked, but you came up with a greedy plan."

If the suicide scene can be disguised as a homicide, the conditions for insurance compensation will still be met.

The compensation of over 100 million is enough to make you take the risk.

As for what Matsui Kento said to persuade Arisu Shinju, it might be like this—"

Gen Chiya faced Eriri and slowly placed his palm on her face.

Yinglili: "!!!"

She froze completely, her eyes wide open, reflecting the handsome face of Yuan Qianye so close to her.

She could feel the warmth of his fingertips and smell his refreshing scent. Her mind went blank, and her heart pounded wildly, almost bursting out of her chest!

Yuan Qianye remained focused and single-mindedly attempted to recreate the conspiracy between the two men from the previous night.

"Shinju, listen to me... I am Yuki's legal husband and the sole beneficiary of the insurance policy, so I cannot be the one who killed her, otherwise I will not receive a single penny of the insurance money and I will be finished too!"

Therefore, you are the only one who can play the role of the 'murderer'!

Don't worry, Japanese law doesn't impose particularly harsh sentences on those who commit crimes of passion and show remorse.

I am the only family member of the deceased. As long as you are sincere and actively confess your guilt, I will present a letter of understanding to the court to express my forgiveness for your momentary impulse. The judge will most likely give you a lenient sentence.

You will only need to stay in prison for a few years at most, and if you behave well, you may even be released early.

I love you. When you get out of prison, you'll be in your thirties at most. We'll move to a different city, change our names, get married, have a child, and live happily ever after.

You're not worried that I'll betray you or abandon you, because we're accomplices in this matter. You can tell the police the truth at any time and have me arrested. We're in the same boat...

After saying this, Gen Chiya stopped gazing affectionately at Eriri and slowly let go of her hand.

Eriri's mind was filled with the words "I love you" that Chiya had said. Her eyes were darting around, and she was dizzy as if she were drunk.

Yukino quickly stepped forward and helped Eriri up. Not only her, but Utaha, who was standing next to her, also glared angrily at Minamoto Chiya.

These issues will be dealt with later, so Yuan Qianye ignored them for the time being and turned to Yu An Zhenzhu beside him: "...What Matsui Kento told you last night, that's the gist of it, right?"

An Zhenru felt as if her soul had been instantly ripped away; her body was ice-cold, and she slumped to the ground, motionless.

The events of last night were recounted almost verbatim by the young man in front of him.

It was as if he had been hiding in the corner of the room and heard every single word they said!

Hattori Heiji said calmly, "This is why you chose to stage the scene as a home invasion robbery, and did so in such a crude manner, and deliberately left so many wounds on Matsui Yuki, all to confuse the police."

The police easily passed through the first level and noticed something was wrong. After identifying the so-called 'real culprit', Ayumi Shinju confessed, and the murderer was successfully caught. Matsui Kento, her only surviving family member, also 'sadly' accepted this result.

This seemingly straightforward case of intentional homicide, with its "clear facts and conclusive evidence," appears to have been solved, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, including the police who might choose not to pursue the matter further in order to close it quickly. Consequently, the insurance payout would naturally follow.

Unlike Ayane Shinju, who was pale and filled with despair.

Even as he was pinned to the ground, Matsui Kento continued to resist stubbornly, attempting a final stand.

"Stop talking such nonsense! This is all your imagination. I did not do such a thing. Yuki was killed by Shinra, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"This is a frame-up! There's absolutely no evidence! I'm calling a lawyer!"

"Evidence?" Yuan Qianye knelt down slowly in front of him: "Mr. Matsui Kento, you underestimate modern criminal investigation technology."

Indeed, in Japan, there is a severe shortage of forensic human resources, as well as the influence of traditional cultural concepts and the wishes of family members.

The rate of autopsies in cases of unnatural death is indeed extremely low in developed countries.

However, that usually happens when the case is very clear, a conviction is basically possible, or there is strong opposition from the family.

To respect the deceased and their families, the police may choose not to conduct an autopsy and close the case based on the existing evidence.

However, that was under the premise that no one raised reasonable doubts and no major hidden secrets were discovered in the case.

The police are now aware of your strong suspicion and criminal motives regarding fabricating the crime scene to defraud insurance money.

Do you think that under these circumstances, the police would still hastily cremate Ms. Matsui Yuki's body just because of your so-called family wishes, letting all possible truths disappear with the flames?

If a professional forensic pathologist carefully examines Ms. Matsui Yuki's body, then her true cause of death will be determined—

Was it a drug overdose or a sharps injury?

Which of those wounds were inflicted before death, and which were inflicted after death?

What was the order, intensity, and angle at which the wounds formed?

Does it match the traces of a passionate murder or struggle?

If you are willing to put in the effort to investigate carefully, your little tricks will be exposed under the modern medical system.

in addition……"

Gen Chiya looked at Ayumu Shinju, whose eyes had completely dimmed and who had given up struggling, and his tone carried a hint of indescribable emotion.

"Miss An Zhenzhu, I don't know whether to call you naive or foolish, but you actually believed the wonderful future this man painted for you."

One hundred million yen sounds like a lot, but if it's split between two people, it will instantly shrink by half.

Even if your plan happens to succeed by chance and you receive the insurance money smoothly.

Do you really think a man could be so calm and almost cold-blooded as to devise a plan to fake his wife's suicide and collect insurance money?

Would he keep his promise and take huge risks to wait for a woman who has been to prison to be released, and then spend the rest of his life with her?

Putting myself in Matsui Kento's shoes,

The first thing I'd do upon receiving the insurance money is definitely not wait for you to be released from prison, but rather immediately find a way to transfer the money, and then leave the country as quickly as possible, change my name and identity, and fly far away. That's when I'll truly be free to roam the world.

Why stay here, constantly worrying that you, my accomplice, might change your mind one day, or leak the secret for some other reason?

After all, only the dead can truly keep a secret. Living a life of luxury with a new identity in a foreign land is obviously much safer and more comfortable than having a lover in prison with an uncertain future, isn't it?

"Bastard!" Matsui Kento struggled even more fiercely, wishing he could kill Minamoto Chiya as soon as possible.

"Let's talk about it at the police station!"

Sergeant Michida immediately took out handcuffs from his waist and swiftly handcuffed Matsui Kento.

"On Saturday, July 27th, at 2:17 PM, I arrested Kento Matsui on charges of attempted intentional injury, insurance fraud, and assault on a corpse!"

Yuan Zhenzhu's eyes turned completely dark: "I confess. The truth is as you all said. I and Kento..."

"Zhenzhu, don't listen to his nonsense! I love you! I know you made a mistake, but it's okay, I forgive you. After you atone for your sins, I'm still willing to be with you! Believe me, think about our past!"

Even now, Kento Matsui still harbors a sliver of unrealistic fantasy.

Even Yuan Qianye felt that the scumbag in front of her was too pathetic.

"Kento Matsui, it seems you still haven't realized what's going on. Let me remind you of one last thing."

Yuan Qianye squatted down in front of him again.

"Your trip started at the end of last month at the suggestion of Ms. Matsui Yuki."

The expenses along the way, including accommodation, food, transportation, and shopping, must have been considerable.

The watch on your wrist is very new; it's a Vacheron Constantin, and it must have cost a lot of money.

Given your unemployment situation, paying in full might be too much of a burden. Are you opting for installment payments?

"Get out!" Matsui Kento, who still didn't quite understand what he meant, glared at him with bloodshot eyes.
