As long as Uehara Katsumi maintains absolute neutrality in the testimony, the lawyer will have more room to mediate. This is a very simple truth——
Because he was the policeman who caught the two criminals on the spot.
Whether it is the judge or the jury, they will 100% refer to the valid testimony submitted by the prosecutor before the trial.
At that time, it is hard to say who will receive a heavier sentence, Nagato Komitsu or Hinata Yuki, not to mention that Nagato Komitsu himself has a dark history of arson.
Although the arson case that killed Hinata Yuki's parents has passed the prosecution period, his bad character is evident, and the judge and jury members will definitely consider it for reference.
"If you have time, you can come and sit at my place more often."
After the matter was discussed, Nagato Dōsan turned back into the affable, fat old man. He patted the man in front of him on the shoulder to show his friendliness: "I'm very optimistic about you."
Again, in Japan, the honor of the surname is higher than that of blood, which is why so many adopted sons or sons-in-law often come to the fore in large Japanese families.
There are now only three women left as successors to his Nagato family——
What if, what if, there will be some love sparks, especially for his second daughter.
He had read Katsumi Uehara's profile and found out that this man preferred older sisters, and all his previous girlfriends were basically about 2-3 years older than him, without exception.
A typical example is his current girlfriend Miwako Sato, who is 28 this year and three years older than him.
The already old Nagato Dosan estimated that he would not be able to withstand the impact of another Nagato Komitsu. It just so happened that he had seen Katsumi Uehara's character and it met the standards.
At least it's better than Nagato Mitsuyo, the son-in-law who wanted to kill him and usurp the throne.
To put it another way, if the Suzuki family likes a man who is willing to invest, it will never be a mistake for him to invest.
"If I have time, I will."
After finishing the conversation with the leader of the Nagato family, Uehara Katsumi returned to the police team and saw Hinata Yuki who was handcuffed by Miwako again and taken into a police car.
Perhaps because she did not succeed in committing suicide, she looked lifeless and lifeless, like a walking corpse.
"What's going on with her?"
After seeing the police taking over, Katsumi Uehara ran to his girlfriend's side, raised his hand and put it on her shoulder.
"It seems that she has no hope of dying, so she is almost heartbroken. After all, she seems to have no family in this world now."
After understanding the whole story, Sato Miwako's expression changed slightly and she sighed: "The arson case in which her parents died has passed the prosecution period. I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why she wanted to kill Nagato Miguel herself."
Nagato Hidetomi's suicide note and confession came too late after all. Even late, Hinata Yuki knew the truth about the burning of his parents, but was unable to take revenge through formal legal means.
After noticing the change in his girlfriend's mood, Uehara Katsumi subconsciously said: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, just a little emotional."
Miwako Sato leaned her head on her boyfriend's shoulder, feeling a little depressed: "Do you still remember what I told you about my dad's case at the cake shop? That case was internally named by the police as the Sad Death Case.
This case passed the prosecution period three years ago."
"..."
The words that had already flowed to his lips were swallowed back by Katsuki Uehara. Without saying any more, he subconsciously hugged his girlfriend's shoulders tightly, tilted his head slightly, and touched her forehead with his chin.
It seemed to be comforting and reassuring her.
"No matter how long the retroactive period has passed, I will help you catch the final murderer."
If I remember correctly, the murderer in Chou Silang's case was finally brought to justice. In other words, it is 100% certain that the murderer went abroad for a period of time.
Because according to the law, if the prisoner has entry and exit records, the retroactive period will be suspended when he leaves the country and will continue to take effect after he returns to the country again.
This was enough for Katsumi Uehara to further narrow down the identity of the murderer.
Anyway, his hand is injured now, so he will have nothing to do in the office until he returns to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow to retrieve the relevant files on the Chou Silang case.

"I'm back."
Night, Sato House.
After saying goodbye to her boyfriend, Sato Miwako returned home and just took off her shoes at the entrance when a strange feeling suddenly came from behind her that made her body stiffen instantly——
Turning his head suddenly, he suddenly realized that it was his mother. He breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and complained: "Mom, what are you doing standing here? You haven't turned on the light yet, you're scaring me to death."
"Miwako, you have finally grown up, and my mother is very happy."
Sato's mother, who didn't know what she saw, had tears in her eyes, and a loving hug made the latter a little overwhelmed——
"Mother?"
"Mom is fine, she's just a little excited. It's fine."
Sato's mother patted her daughter on the shoulder hard: "Okay, you go back to the room and take a shower first. Get some rest early, and I'll go burn two sticks of incense for your dad."
"Eh?"
Sato Miwako was confused and could not understand her mother's undisguised joy.
She didn't do anything either.
So much so that when she picked up her phone after taking a shower, she subconsciously shared the incident with her boyfriend, causing Katsumi Uehara, who was taking a bath on the other end of the phone, to be stunned.
"Are you sure Auntie really said that?"
"What else? My mother is so good that she doesn't know what she is doing."
Miwako Sato, who was wearing pajamas, tilted her head and held her mobile phone between her hands, while her hands were opening a package placed on the desk——
A large envelope with "Arsene Wenger" written on the cover immediately came into view, causing her eyebrows to curve into crescents in pleasure.
After hearing the sudden silence on the other side of the phone, I couldn't help but wonder: "Hello? Hello? What's wrong? Can you hear me?"
"Huh? Ah, I was thinking about something just now and got distracted." On the other end of the phone, Uehara Katsumi said excitedly with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"What are you thinking about? You are so serious and still distracted. Isn't the case already over?"
"When I think of it, what wish should I ask you to fulfill?"
"..."
Sato Miwako's cheeks were slightly red. She raised her hand to hold the mobile phone and silently made a "bah" gesture at it. However, her words were a bit unscrupulous: "I don't care."
,no sooner said than done."
Perhaps imagining his girlfriend's current state, Uehara Katsumi's laughter suddenly came from the phone receiver: "How about you take a guess, Miwako, what do you think I will wish for then?"
"Besides letting me kiss you, I can't think of anything else."
Miwako Sato still didn't understand her boyfriend's virtues. Fortunately, she didn't do it in person, and her state was relieved a lot over the phone.
"Guess again?"
"Huh? Isn't it?"
"you guess."
"...No more guessing, go to sleep!"
Sato Miwako instinctively issued a threat, but a certain expectation in her heart was quietly aroused.
To be honest, when she said in the cake shop that she would do anything as long as she solved the Chou Si Lang case, she was already ready to kiss him. It was just a matter of time.
