7:20.
Tang Ze and others came to the interrogation room again.
"You are here"
Chiba Kouta's expression remained lifeless, "The person is dead, so I will confess all this to you."
After hearing what Chiba Kota said, Karasawa and Officer Megure looked at each other and looked at Chiba Kota in silence without speaking.
"I was indeed threatened by that guy Miyamori." Chiba Kouta spoke slowly, recounting the most painful memories of the past.
The death of Chiba Kota's father was not actually an accident, but an accidental murder arranged by Miyamori Takao.
On that day, he happened to be riding in his father's car due to an accident, so he was also implicated.
His father dragged him upstream desperately, but because he was too injured and lost his strength, he was the only one to escape death and climb ashore.
But Miyamori Takao was standing on the coast and watching, and when he saw him coming ashore, he immediately grabbed his neck.
Miyamori Takao threatened him, saying that he was absolutely not allowed to tell the criminal about this matter, otherwise his mother would be killed.
When the young Chiba Kota was on the verge of death, he developed great fear in the face of the threat from Miyamori Takao.
Coupled with the fear of losing his mother, Chiba Kouta finally chose to remain silent.
After all, he was just a child at that time. He could do nothing, only a sense of powerlessness lingered around him.
But fortunately, time is on his side.
As he grew up day by day, his mother finally passed away a few days ago, and the only tie that had been binding him completely disappeared.
"So you hid him at the bottom of the lake in Mihua Park just to make him feel the fear you felt back then?" Karasawa couldn't help but sigh after hearing what Chiba Kouta said.
"How do you know where he is!?"
When Chiba Kouta heard Karasawa's words, his previously calm face suddenly showed impatience: "Why do you know!!"
"We found another car where your mother's body was, and after seeing what was in your trunk, I understood everything."
Karasawa looked at Chiba Kota with a complex expression and said: "You wrapped Miyamori Takao's whole body with tape, making him look like a mummy, making him unable to move at all.
Then you threw him into the river, but instead of killing him immediately, you sealed his nose and put a fixed water pipe in his mouth so that he could breathe through it.
Then you sink him to the bottom of the lake, use the wax dissolved in the candle, and fix the hemp rope that binds the water pipe to the pole lamp in the park.
Moreover, the lamp you chose is under a big tree or next to a bush. A criminal search will only look for people, and there is no way you will notice the rope.
Then when it gets dark at 6:30, the column lights are turned on, and the countdown begins.
Because the light bulb will continue to heat up, the wax holding the hemp rope will soon dissolve due to the temperature.
You should have calculated the time and dropped a fixed amount of wax liquid so that the rope would fall off in half an hour due to the dissolved candle, thereby killing Miyamori Takao."
"But you still found me"
Miyamori Takasheng smiled sadly, without the excitement before, he just looked at Tangze numbly: "Why, why should you save him?"
"That's our job."
Koshizui Nanatsuki shook his head, then looked at Chiba Kouta and said: "On the other hand, senior wants to save you."
"Save me?" Chiba Kouta couldn't help but be startled when he heard Karasawa's words.
"Homicide and attempted murder are two completely different concepts." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Chiba Kouta and said sincerely: "If it's the latter, you still have the possibility to start a new life.
Senior, he knows your past and feels that you should not live such a miserable life all the time, even in the future.
Moreover, Miyamori Takao cannot escape, he will get the trial and punishment he deserves."
"Thanks"
After Chiba Kouta heard Koshizui Nanatsuki's words, he turned to look at Karasawa and thanked him. Then his voice turned lonely and said: "So you still saved Miyamori, right?"
"Both you and I only win half the battle."
Tang Ze shook his head when he said this and couldn't help but sigh: "When people are exhausted, should I say that God's will is like this?"
Although I noticed your trick in advance, the only thing I didn't calculate was that when I contacted the park ranger, he actually turned on the pole lights half an hour in advance.
When we went there, the water pipe had fallen down.
Although the rescue was timely, Miyamori Takao is most likely in a vegetative state."
"Ha ha"
"Hahahahaha"
Chiba Kouta laughed wantonly when he heard Karasawa's words, and his laughter became even crazier, but no one stopped him.
Because he was crying, his expression seemed to be smiling but not crying, showing infinite desolation and pain.
At this moment, he was finally able to vent the pain in his heart.
He endured 14 years of darkness and countless pains, and no one would help him.
But this time, God was on his side in his revenge.
How could he not laugh, and why shouldn't he cry.
After leaving the interrogation room, Tang Ze let out a long sigh, unable to describe the complicated feeling in his heart.
Sherlock Holmes once said: "When the law cannot bring justice to the parties involved, private revenge is legitimate and even noble from this moment on."
Chiba Kota's plight makes people sympathize with him. On the emotional side, he even feels that Chiba Kota's revenge is very satisfying.
However, Karasawa also sympathized with Chiba Kouta.
I don't want him to kill anyone, I just don't want him to live in such pain in the future.
As mentioned before, the sentence between murder and attempted murder is hugely different, not to mention the extenuating circumstances of his case to avenge his father.
On one side is the law, on the other side is emotion and sympathy.
In the end, Tangze acted in his own way, but ultimately lost to God's will.
Perhaps even God couldn't stand it anymore, so he helped Chiba Kota and forced the situation to be a tie.
Walking to the beverage vending machine, Karasawa chose a can of soda and drank it in one gulp. The originally complicated emotions seemed to dissipate with the cold liquid.
After calming down, Tangze clicked on the system panel, intending to look at the rewards to divert his attention.
After clicking on the panel, pieces of information appeared on Tangze's retina.
【Death Layout】
Completion: Perfect
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill escape technique (5 years)]
Rating: This case is a desolate and cruel revenge. With almost no clues, you relied on the profile and only a few clues to detect the criminal's tactics and rescued the hostages.
But fate has a twist. As the night comes gradually earlier, the park lights also light up earlier, causing the mechanism to be activated in advance, and the hostages become a vegetative state with only consciousness and cannot move.
Perhaps two years later, Miyamori Takao will have the opportunity to wake up and atone for the crimes he has committed.
After seeing the evaluation of the reward settlement for this case, Tang Ze had a strange look on his face.
He never expected that he would predict so many situations this time, as he usually just lamented the situation of the entire case and his evaluation of his actions most of the time.
Although vague words like "maybe" and "opportunity" are used above, since they are all displayed by the system in the evaluation, it means that this is the future development.
After all, there is an accurate number "two years". If you are not sure, why did you give the date so accurately?
It's perfectly concealed.
After reading this evaluation, Tang Ze felt that all the complicated emotions before had been swept away, and now he only had one thought left.
Miyamori Takao is so hated by God that he actually plays tricks on him like this.
This ending is simply extremely miserable, with men crying and women silent.
Miyamori Takao is currently in a vegetative state, but has not completely lost consciousness.
In other words, he can feel the movement of the outside world and is conscious, but it is as if a ghost is pressing down on the bed and cannot control his body.
Thinking about living like this for two years, Tang Ze couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
This experience was comparable to torture, and even if he woke up, he would still have to be sentenced for killing Chiba Kouta's father.
It can be said that apart from being alive, there is no other benefit at all. The rest of my life will be torture.
I can't tell whether this is more comfortable than death.
But no matter what, Tangze felt comfortable.
Because Miyamori Takao was able to wake up after two years, it proves that he was saved and his efforts were not in vain.
As for atonement, that is what the other party deserves.
After feeling comfortable, Tangze looked at the rewards for this case.
Perhaps because Miyamori Takashi died so tragically, the related skill rewarded by the system is escape technique.
I have to say that when he thought of the horrific scene of Miyamori Takao being kidnapped, mummified and thrown into a lake, Karasawa instantly felt that escape techniques were a valuable life-saving tool.
The target of this skill is Kaitou Kidd's runaway. After reaching the max level, there are only a handful of places in the world where he can be trapped.
Of course, his escape technique has only been upgraded from C level to B level [12/20] after this reward. It is still a bit difficult to reach the level of Kaitou Kidd, but ordinary small difficulties will not be difficult for him.
After counting the rewards and reading the reviews, Tangze felt a little more relaxed.
Although this ending develops in a bad direction, it is not a balance. Both the victim and the criminal are punished.
Although it's not perfect, Karasawa is quite satisfied with the ending.
After all the matters were resolved, Karasawa said goodbye to Officer Megure and others, and drove back home.
After returning home, looking at Ayako who greeted him with a smile, the haze covering Karasawa's heart seemed to be swept away at this moment.
Just like an actor entering a play needs a switch to get out of the role and avoid schizophrenia, the negative emotional impact of Karasawa's cases when he returned home also dissipated.
Especially after the yoga after dinner, Tangze completely eliminated the previous negative emotions.
Early the next morning, Karasawa went to work as usual. At the same time, he also heard that Miyamori Takao's diagnosis result was the same as Karasawa's evaluation, that he had become a vegetative state.
And their family members don't know that the other party will wake up in two years. I heard from my buddy that they are already fighting for the family property.
As for Miyamori Takao who became a vegetative state, no one cared.
Karasawa could already imagine how miserable it would be for Miyamori Takao to wake up two years later.
Not only did he have to go to jail, but all his property was taken away by his children and wife, making his family miserable.
But this is all his fault. It is people like him who say evil will be punished.
In the next few days, Tangze once again had nothing to do.
In addition to digestion and escape techniques, they also practice underwater combat and other skills.
However, as his skill levels get higher and higher, it is difficult to improve as quickly as before.
"It's really annoying, it's actually raining."
Arriving at the office, Koshimizu Nanatsuki took off his coat and complained: "It's okay if it snows, but rain is too annoying."
"For people who go to work, snow is not a good choice."
While correcting the official document, Tang Ze said without raising his head: "If it's light snow, it doesn't affect it, but if it's heavy snow, the transportation means won't be able to function properly, so you have to walk to work."
"No, no, no, I have another choice."
Koshizui Nanatsuki waved his hands when he heard this: "I choose to skip work and enjoy the snow scenery at home."
"Thinking about beauty is the prerogative of leadership."
Tang Ze laughed when he heard this, "I am enjoying the snow scenery at home, and you are on duty in my office. This is reality."
"Hey, are you so blatant!?" Koshizu Nanatsuki said with eyes drooping: "Be careful, I will sue you for dereliction of duty!"
"Who doesn't know that I don't do anything except solve cases? There's no point in suing me."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "If I were really diligent, they would have a headache that I want to be promoted again.
This situation is a tacit understanding between us, and there is no point in suing me."
"You damn bureaucrat." Koshimizu Nanatsuki complained helplessly with his dead eyes drooped upon hearing this, and then ended the topic.
Upon seeing this, Tang Ze raised the corner of his mouth proudly and continued his work.
I don't know if it was because the last case was too cruel, but nothing major happened this week.
However, the seemingly abnormal spring disappeared and the cold winter returned to normal, which made Tangze feel that the expected case was about to happen.
On the day when Kyogoku was really suspected of being the murderer, Karasawa made a point of saying those words to Conan while he was going to the bathroom in the middle of eating.
Its purpose is not only to remind him to pay more attention to protecting his identity, but also to prepare for subsequent cases that are about to happen.
Because he remembered that there was a case that went to Nagano Prefecture where Wakada Kanori, who was also a sushi restaurant, was unable to go with Xiaolan, so he went with her instead.
Therefore, Karasawa vaccinated Conan in advance and asked him to reject him when the time came, so that he could be included in the commission to Nagano Prefecture.
In this way, not only can Kanere Wakita be prevented from doubting Conan, but he can also be involved in the case and get rewards for preventing the case from happening.
Of course, Karasawa didn't know exactly when this case would occur, but the only thing he knew was that there was a heavy snowstorm on the day they went to Nagano Prefecture.
Coincidentally, the weather forecast shows heavy snowfall in Nagano Prefecture this Saturday.
