Chapter 29 A Country with a 99.99% Criminal Conviction Rate
There was silence for a long time in the courtyard of the Oda Town Autonomous Committee.
Takeshi Nanabaru's reasoning explained the ins and outs of the "murder case of Yosuke Tominaga" so clearly that it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Even the details were correct and no one could shirk the blame.
Koga looked at Takeshi Nanabahara for a long time and sighed softly, "I was wondering before why the police brought you here, so it turns out that..."
They originally thought that this matter was well planned and that it would most likely end with "Tominaga Yosuke disappearing". However, they did not expect that more than 20 of them had been searching for the secret room for a whole night but could not find it, and that Takeshi Nanabahara would find it inexplicably.
So, Yosuke Tominaga, who should have been kneeling there forever to repent for his crimes, was directly exposed to the broad daylight.
However, even if they were discovered, they were not too worried at the time. They had already been prepared and had unified their rhetoric. It would not be difficult to mislead the police in the investigation with the strength of more than 20 people. After all, it had been five years since Hirano's disappearance.
Six years later, no one knows that Tominaga Yosuke committed the crime. On the surface, no one has the motive to kill Tominaga Yosuke.
It was Takeshi Nanahara who inexplicably saw through the lies again and caught everyone's clues. He even found countless clues after looking around, and deduced the incident accurately. He even used this as a little trick to kill them.
We were all lured here together, and there was no room for sophistry.
There’s nothing more to say, it’s probably destiny!
"It's really a great reasoning, without any mistakes..." Koga Katsu didn't regret killing Tominaga Yosuke, and he wasn't afraid of being arrested. He stretched out his hands calmly, "Take me back to the police station, it's what I should do anyway.
It’s done, there’s nothing to regret.”
Mrs. Koga cried even harder. Everyone in Oda Town looked at each other a few times and sighed together. It seemed that they did not intend to trap the beast and continue to fight, add crime to crime, kill Takeshi Nanabahara and Ruri Kiyomi, but were prepared to plead guilty collectively.
Fu Dharma.
"Ahem, that..."
Everyone in Oda Town was thinking about how to live in prison, what to do if they lose their jobs, what to do if they have no income, and how to face the strange looks from others after being released from prison. Takeshi Nanabahara coughed and said sheepishly
He said, "Have you made any mistakes? We are not the police and have no power to arrest you. The reason why I say so much is mainly to confirm whether I have made any mistakes, to confirm that a child was really killed, and to confirm that Yosuke Tominaga
Should that scumbag deserve to die 100% and then apologize?"
Everyone was stunned, "Apologise?"
"Yes, apologize!" Takeshi Nanahara reached out and pressed the back of Qingmi Ruri's head, asking her to bow to everyone, "It is only natural that a father avenges his daughter. If I send the father who avenges his daughter to prison, it would be against me.
The principles of life and work are contrary to the teachings of my old man and the rules of our industry. I do not want and cannot be resented by Hirano-chan.
Speaking of which, you may not believe it. I would not have meddleed in this kind of thing, let alone deliberately sabotaged your plan. Unfortunately, by some strange combination of circumstances, I was implicated by a certain troublemaker, and that's how I ended up now.
, I would like to say I’m sorry to everyone here, I’m really sorry!”
Everyone in Oda Town was even more stunned. Qingmi Ruri muttered "I'm not a troublemaker, I just didn't expect it", but did not resist. He was pressed on the back of his head and bowed, saying sorry in a low voice.
After a moment of silence, Koga Sheng said hesitantly: "Hirano is no longer here, and it is impossible to resent you anymore. If you think so, there is no need..."
"For me, she is still here. I must consider her thoughts and cannot just watch her cry, otherwise I won't be able to do this job." Takeshi Nanahara glanced at Isamu Koga and said softly.
, did not explain much and got back to the point, "If it weren't for me and the troublemakers around me, you would have a high chance of hiding it from the police. Of course, it's not possible now. I have no good way to do it. I can only try to make up for it and help.
You guys come up with ideas."
Yamada Obasan, the tofu seller, smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, smart little brother, we are all going to jail. There is no need to make up for it. We don't blame you."
They really don't want to go to jail. Even if they go to jail for a short time in Japan, the price is still very high. From now on, they will be the scum of society and a different kind of people. Their nature is similar to that of toilet paper that has wiped their noses. People hate dogs and their lives are basically ruined.
But there was no way, things were like this, she didn't think there was any room for redemption, so she could only accept her fate.
"No one will go to jail, at least not for that scumbag Tominaga Yosuke." Takeshi Nanabahara said, "As long as you do what I say, and with the voluntary assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Hamano, you have a 99% chance.
Won't go to jail...well, 99% may be an exaggeration, but there is a high probability that he won't go to jail."
Everyone was confused and asked hesitantly: "There is a high probability that you will not go to jail. Things have come to this point. Is it impossible?"
"Please come here." Takeuchi Nanahara, Koga Masaru, the Yamada couple, the Iga couple and others hooked their fingers and began to whisper. Qingmi Ruri also wanted to listen, but there were too many people crowded into a circle, and she couldn't get in.
, the voice was very low, and at most I could only hear some scattered words and the surprised voices of Oda Town people saying "Ahhh" and "Is this really okay?"
It took a long time to say this. She was extremely curious when a surprised voice came from the door of Lengbuding Courtyard, "Hey, why are you all here?"
She was startled, turned around and saw that it was two detectives, Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji. She instinctively rushed towards him, trying to buy some time for Nanabahara Taketa. Even she didn't know if it was right or not, so she asked nervously
Said: "Why are you two here?"
"I came here to find you and them. They are asking if there is no one at home..."
"Looking for us?" Qingmi Ruri noticed that Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji looked confused, and couldn't help asking: "What happened?"
Taiji Okuno looked strange and said: "The police station called and said that the murderer surrendered..."
"What, the murderer surrendered?" Qingmi Liuli glanced back subconsciously and found that Takeshi Nanahara and everyone in Oda Town had already finished talking, and everyone in Oda Town looked weird.
Who committed suicide? Aren’t all the murderers here?
She turned back and asked hesitantly: "Who is the murderer?"
"It's the old Hamano couple. They took the murder weapon and a lot of bloody evidence and went to the police station to surrender." The expressions on the faces of Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji became even weirder. "One was leaning on a cane, and the other was sitting.
Went in a wheelchair.”
…………
The "Oda Machi District Referendum Case" has come to an end, and the "murderer" surrendered. At this moment, one was sitting in a wheelchair with his ears folded and yelling, almost scaring the questioning little policewoman from having a heart attack, while the other was wailing.
Sighing, he took antihypertensive medicine desperately. From time to time, he would hold his chest and gasp for air, his face pale, and the interrogating detective was so frightened that he asked his superiors whether he should call an ambulance first to prepare.
The police station is in big trouble. Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji want to bring back all the people involved in the case in Oda Town to cooperate with the investigation. Takeshi Nanahara drags Qingmi Ruri on the way home - Qingmi Ruri hasn't done anything yet
She understood what was going on and didn't want to leave, but Takeshi Nanahara had already left. She couldn't follow him to the police station alone, so she could only return depressed.
The more she thought about it on the way, the more she felt wrong. She asked in confusion, "Why did things become like this? Doesn't this mean that the Hamanos are taking the blame for everyone?"
"Take the blame? Take the blame for what?"
"Didn't you persuade the Hamanos to surrender?" Qingmi Ruri was not completely stupid. She also figured it out at this moment. There must be some hands and feet of Takeshi Nanahara in this, who did it when he tricked her into buying water.
I just don't understand why he would do this.
Takeshi Nanabaru said casually: "It's generally true. It was indeed me who told the old Hamano couple about their current predicament and gave them suggestions. They also volunteered to help, but surrendering is not an admission of guilt."
"What's the meaning?"
Qing Jian Liuli looked at her with a smile and said nothing, Qing Jian Liuli was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Accounting!"
After receiving the money, Takeshi Nanabahara immediately smiled and said: "Japan is a country with a criminal conviction rate of 99.99%. Do you know this?"
In Japan, taking people to court for criminal cases is a very serious matter.
If an ordinary person is arrested and prosecuted, it will cause great damage to his reputation. Even if the judge rules that he is innocent, the impact on the person involved may be irreparable. He may have broken up with his girlfriend or become estranged from relatives and friends.
, he was fired from his job, and even appeared in the newspaper. Ninety-nine percent of social deaths occurred.
Therefore, when a prosecutor prosecutes a suspect but cannot send him to jail, that is, he cannot convict the suspect, then the prosecutor will 100% be pressured by public opinion, and at least be scolded.
If you have a shower on your head, you may need to hold a press conference to publicly apologize. Even if the pressure from public opinion is too great, it is not impossible that you may be forced to resign.
Similar things have appeared in mystery novels and TV news. Qingjian Liuli knew a little bit, but said inexplicably: "So what?"
"You are such a pig-brained person!" Takeshi Nanahara scolded her angrily, and then explained, "Now that the case has become like this, you have to look at the problem from the perspective of the prosecutor. Do you think the Hamanos surrendered?
Would prosecutors dare to prosecute them?
Even if they are really prosecuted, will the judge dare to send them to jail as long as they have not eaten two kilograms of brain fragments? The two of them are almost two hundred years old together. One of them gasps for breath after taking two steps, and the other leaves home in a wheelchair.
It’s inconvenient, but who can believe that Tominaga Yosuke was really killed by them? As long as the judge dares to sentence him, the reporters will definitely go crazy with joy!”
Qingjian Liuli was stunned for a moment. She felt that Takeshi Nanabahara was right, but she was even more puzzled. She pouted and asked: "Then why did you ask them to surrender? In the end, weren't the murderers Koga-san and the others?"
Seeing that she was not understanding, Takeshi Nanabaru said speechlessly: "You said that Koga Katsu and the others were the murderers. What evidence do you have? The old Hamano couple took the murder weapon and many replaced damaged and bloody utensils from the Tominaga family as physical evidence.
It is covered with their fingerprints, and they also admitted that they killed the person out of righteous anger. If you were a prosecutor, would you dare to bring Koga-san and the others to court in this case? There is a lot of physical evidence on the other side, and they also surrendered.
A confession was given, as well as testimony from all the residents of this town, but there were more than 20 witnesses."
He asked Old Man Hirakawa to provide the murder weapon and physical evidence. Everyone in Oda Town was busy cleaning the scene twice. The furniture and murder weapons replaced by the Tominaga family were piled at Hirakawa's house. The old man simply burned them on the river beach and buried them.
Although the wild couple heard the news and discovered the incident, their health was not as good as that of the old man Hirakawa. Their mobility was limited and they were unable to provide direct help. They only cooperated and perjured themselves out of indignation afterwards.
Strictly speaking, the Hamano couple had basically nothing to do with the case. At least the murder had nothing to do with them. It was just perjury to cover up the case.
Qing Jian Liuli was stunned and asked in confusion: "One case, two groups of murderers? What should we do?"
"If we don't do anything, this case will go bad."
"Rotten?"
"Yes, now that the 'murderer' has surrendered, the police can only take Koga-san and others away for investigation on the pretext of perjury and interfering with the search. But these people are very united. They were originally going to go to jail. There is nothing to be afraid of. Now they just want to bite them to death."
It was a perjury that was done just to help the old Hamano couple, and together they identified the old Hamano couple as the murderers. That was the witness, and the physical evidence was complete. The police could only bite the bullet and send the case to prosecution.
But as long as the prosecutor has a milligram of sense, even if the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, he will not dare to bring the old Hamano couple to court. He can only send the case back to the police station and ask the police to conduct supplementary searches, and then the case will be dragged out.
, the prosecutor will not ask, the police will continue to supplement the search, but the prosecutor will never ask another question, and the police will not take the initiative to send for inspection again."
Qing Jian Liuli was stunned for a while, then hesitantly asked: "Is this really going to happen?"
Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said: "How else do you think Japan's criminal conviction rate of 99.99% comes from? Otherwise, how do you think the inefficiency of the Japanese police has brought the crime rate to the bottom in Asia? The rotten cases in the police station,
I dare say the basement is already full of them. If you have one more item, it won’t be too much, and if you don’t have one item, it won’t be a big deal.”
This is the truth. Just like the United States, which engages in plea bargaining, sometimes the guilty do not need to go to jail. Japan also has its own national conditions. If it is not brought to court, it will not be counted. The data on paper is very good.
As for murders that cannot be found out, they are considered suicides, and people who are killed and whose bodies are not found are considered missing. Not to mention those special cases. They are all Japanese national conditions. If you can't understand them, it just means you don't understand Japan at all.
Qingjian Liuli was stunned, but still refused to accept it. After thinking for a while, he said: "No, the prosecutor can combine the two groups and prosecute them together, and sue the Hamanos for cover-up... No, if you sue the Hamanos for cover-up, you must first prove that they are ancient.
Koga-san and the others are the murderers, and all the physical evidence proving that Koga-san and the others are the murderers are in the hands of the Hamanos. Then we must first prove that the Hamanos are not the murderers... Ah, it seems difficult...
Then treat them all as the criminals who killed Yosuke Tominaga and prosecute them for murder. The Hamanos are accessories... Well, the Hamanos are innocent. The prosecutors dare not, otherwise the prosecutors will be in big trouble if the case is reversed in the future... Same thing
As the main culprit, ah, it doesn’t seem possible..."
The case suddenly became so complicated. Qingmi Liuli was confused as he talked. Takeshi Qiyuan nodded slightly and said: "So this is actually a cost issue. There are too many things that can go wrong in this case, so I
Bet five hundred yen that the prosecutor won’t be willing to risk his career for a scumbag.”
Qingjian Liuli was stunned for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was really possible, and murmured: "So, the case ended up being dropped like this?"
"We can only let it go. Even if one or two of Koga Masaru and the others have a problem and let it slip, the District Prosecutor's Office will still be afraid that the two old men and women in Hamano will cause trouble again, and will be afraid of the two middle ones.
The old man and the old lady took out new evidence to overturn the case and made everything get out of hand.
After all, as long as this case is exposed, it will definitely attract widespread attention. They don't dare to bet that they can really succeed 100%, so it is their best choice to die silently - prosecutors are not required if they are not students from prestigious schools, and the passing rate is only 10
It’s about 1.5% in 10,000. It often takes half a lifetime to pass the exam, and then you risk your professional honor and future for a perverted scumbag. How is that possible? It’s not like filming a Japanese drama.”
After a pause, Takeshi Nanabaru added meaningfully, "The most important thing is that Tominaga Yosuke is alone. Now that he is dead, he doesn't even have a victim. The case is dragging on and no one is pursuing it. It will drag on for several years."
, Mr. Hamano and his wife have passed away or are so old that they are delirious and cannot speak fluently. This case will be even more impossible to investigate, and we can’t even think about letting it go."
Seeing that Liuli had nothing to say, Qing murmured: "How can I still do this..."
She didn't expect Takeshi Nanahara's thinking to be so weird. She found that the case was not easy to handle with the police, so she turned around and went to the prosecutor, which put the prosecutor in a dilemma. He could only send the case back for additional searches. Unfortunately,
At the police station, it is really possible that this case will disappear without a trace, and it is really possible that Koga Masaru and the others will not have to go to jail - not to mention the two old men and women, even Koga Masaru and others will not be detained by the police forever.
In the department, you can only let it go home.
I really don’t know how Nanahara Takeshi has such a brain!
but……
She lowered her head and thought about it for a while, then raised her head and said hesitantly: "But is this really good? After all... After all... Koga-san and the others really killed people, even if Tominaga Yosuke was a scumbag, they did kill him.
Man, is it really okay to escape legal punishment like this?"
Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her sideways and said: "Our line of work has rules and regulations. We insist on three things: don't touch and five things: don't take. One of them is not to touch the fruit of hardship. We can't incite others to take revenge by blood, but we can't stop or hinder them either.
Revenge of other people's blood - there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and there is cause and effect. This is not something we can interfere with. Otherwise, if something goes wrong later, the cause and effect will be ours, and our conscience cannot afford it.
Moreover, that scumbag Tominaga killed a child with cruel means. I am unwilling to provide any help to such a scumbag, even if it is to pursue the crime of his murderer for him after his death. This is
It makes me feel sick to my core."
After explaining, he saw clearly that Liuli still looked confused, and said angrily, "Also, you should be crying and thanking me for wiping your butt now. You should be thanking me for preventing your conscience from feeling guilty in the future, instead of
Talking nonsense about the law!"
Qingjian Liuli listened thoughtfully and was a little convinced by him, but after hearing what he said, she immediately became angry, "What are you wiping... wiping or something? I didn't know it was so complicated at the time, so you can't blame me! I warned you.
You, don’t say such rude words to me, otherwise I won’t be polite to you either!”
But after all, she was a little unreasonable and didn't dare to be too tough. She let it go if she lost her temper. She just hesitated and said, "I'm not blaming Koga-san and the others. I just think it's better to call the police and let the police handle it, and let the prisoner accept the punishment of the law."
, he uses lynching like this, what about the fairness of the law?"
"Then do you know how the law will punish Tominaga Yosuke?"
"Of course it's the death penalty. Do you even need to ask?"
Takeshi Nanabahara said unceremoniously: "You are not only a pig brain, you are also legally illiterate! If Yosuke Tominaga is really brought to court, he will be sentenced to life at most. If he weeps bitterly in court, has a good attitude of repentance, bows and says solemnly
A few words of 'red bean paste and a close Marseille' might only lead to a sentence of ten to eight years, or even if a mental illness is identified, it is not impossible to stay in a mental hospital for a few years and then be released."
Qingjian Liuli said in disbelief: "So light? This is impossible. He killed a child in a bad way, and he was also an abductor!"
"So you are legally illiterate." Takeshi Nanahara squinted and said with disdain, "Japan's standard for imposing the death penalty is the 'Nagayama Principle'. It was only after Nagayama Norio killed four people that he was sentenced to death, and it took thirty years to do so.
death penalty.
According to this standard, Yosuke Tominaga only killed one person, even if it was a child, and he would be forced to do so indefinitely. Ten to fifteen years is a high probability. If you spend money to hire a good lawyer, if you are lucky, and the sentence is commuted, it will be possible in about eight years.
Hope to be released."
After saying that, he glanced at Qingmi Ruri, who was in a daze, and then said: "I think Koga Katsuya also knows this, so he must kill Tominaga Yosuke, otherwise every day and night in the future, whenever he thinks of his daughter's tragic death at a young age,
There is no peace after death, but the murderer can still bask in the sun, breathe fresh air, still have the opportunity to smell flowers, smell the fragrance of grass and trees, and still enjoy life, so he will live a life of extreme suffering, and life would be worse than death."
"He must seek justice for his daughter. This is the only thing he can do for his daughter. He really has no more choices."
According to Takezhi Nanahara, in Western cultural circles, people are no longer human after death, they are just pieces of rotten meat, and no one will consider their feelings. However, it is different in Chinese cultural circles. People have souls after death and are still human beings.
, we should still have basic justice.
Killing to pay for one's life and debts to pay back money are the moral foundation of the Chinese cultural circle, and only this can truly deter lawlessness.
Therefore, if the Japanese law can give Yosuke Tominaga the due punishment and give justice to the little girl Hirano, but Koga Masaru resorts to lynching to retaliate on his own, then he will go home after pointing out the murderer, which is not the case now.
In this case, he had no choice but to try his best to make up for it.
Well, try to make up for it as much as possible. If this bad idea fails for some reason, there is nothing he can do. Anyway, he tried his best to make up for it, as long as his conscience can live with it.
The real blame for this is Qingjian Liuli, a curious and troublesome person, it has nothing to do with him.
It doesn't stick to pans anyway.
Qingjian Liuli was speechless again, and was stunned for a moment. The complexity of reality made her not know what to say, but Takeshi Nanahara looked at her expression, shook his head, took out a small paper bag from his pocket and handed it to her.
, said: "I have no interest in Japanese law, and I feel it is not enough to reflect justice to the victim, but this is just my personal opinion. You are my fat, ahem, you are my friend, and I respect your thoughts."
If you really think what I did was wrong, or if you want to uphold the justice of the law, then this is for you."
Qing Jian Liuli blankly took the small paper bag, squeezed it, and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Takeshi Nanahara spoke softly, as if the devil was tempting people to pervert, and whispered in her ear: "This is the ironclad evidence that can confirm that Koga Katsu and others committed murder. As long as you hand it over to the police or prosecutors, they will be able to be prosecuted."
Send him to jail to uphold the justice of Japanese law."
