Chapter 298: Sincerity [4K]

“You said he was the first to attack?”

In the office, Ikumi Eda took off her glasses and rubbed her nose bridge with a slight headache.

This kind of thing is very troublesome to deal with.

After all, both the little girl in front of him and Risa’s younger brother are students.

“Yes, sister, you have to make the decision for me. He is a boy, but he bullied me like this. Look at my wrist, it was pinched red by him… In short, he was the first to start!”

The hot blonde girl said this with a look of grievance on her face as she lifted up her sleeves, revealing her wrists.

I don’t know if it was because she recovered too quickly or because the way he used force was different, but anyway, the red marks that were there before were gone now.

But this did not prevent her from playing the role of a victim, or rather, she was already very familiar with such role.

“We can tell right from wrong! Now, please continue to tell the story relatively objectively.”

Ikumi Eda put on her glasses again, frowned slightly, and sternly warned the girl in front of her.

This is not a school, this is a police station.

They will investigate the specific situation themselves and there is no need for any party to exaggerate.

Moreover, she instinctively didn’t like the girl in front of her.

It’s not that she discriminates against blondes, but she has seen too many ‘hot blondes’ like this, who bully their classmates in class, and are really unreasonable when they meet them outside of school, while being well-behaved like a rabbit.

Typical bully and fear of the strong.

And because of their nature of being concerned about reputation, being competitive, and liking to act like a big shot, they are more likely to take the wrong path to make money quickly, including but not limited to using bullying to obtain money and trading money for sex.

In short, that’s really what I said.

It is too easy to fall into the abyss step by step.

“…This is what happened.”

Hearing this, the hot blonde girl suddenly shut up and then honestly told the story that happened.

Of course, it is a version that she has personally beautified.

But she did not exaggerate as she did just now.

She was not a fool. She could see that the female police officer in front of her was different from the police officers she had met before. The former had never thought of trying to smooth things over.

Fifteen minutes later.

“Okay, that’s all for the record. Please wait here for a moment.”

Ikumi Eda closed the pen cap, put away the documents, and stood up.

The record here is almost done, and what remains is the record of Watanabe’s side.

In fact, according to the rules, the record should be taken by different people, but considering that Watanabe is her acquaintance and that incident on the subway helped the police station solve a big problem, she coordinated with her colleagues.

“Oh.”

The hot blonde nodded honestly.

“…”

Ikumi Eda didn’t say anything, but just looked at her meaningfully, then left the office and went to the office next door.

pat.

After pushing the door open and walking in, Ikumi Eda sat down at the table and looked at Watanabe Yu and Hamabe Ryoko in front of her.

“Tell me what the situation is.”

She raised her chin and took the initiative to start talking.

But compared to just now, her tone was obviously much gentler.

Firstly, Watanabe Yu could be considered an ‘acquaintance’, and secondly, based on her understanding of Watanabe Yu, he would not do such a thing as bullying others for no reason.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that he was the one who called the police first.

“Well, let’s put it this way. She bullied her classmates and forced them to give her money. The amount was not small. There were six Yukichis.”

Watanabe Yu gave a truthful answer.

“Sixty thousand yen is indeed a lot.”

Hearing this, Jiang Tian Yumei frowned, and a look of “as expected” flashed across her eyes.

She just said it.

Yu Watanabe is definitely not the kind of person who bullies the weak.

If he was really that kind of person, he would not have stood in front of his classmates so firmly.

Of course, she did not rule out the possibility that he might want to be a hero and save the beauty.

Because that girl named Hayakawa is really pretty.

Although that girl also had blonde hair, the feeling that Hayakawa gave was completely different from that of the blonde hot girl just now.

The former would make her feel protective, while the latter would make her feel an almost instinctive aversion.

“But she said you guys were the first to do it.”

Ikumi Eda looked at Yuu Watanabe.

What she meant was that they had to find a way to explain this, or to insist that it was the hot blonde who started it first.

If that’s the case, she can smooth things over here.
——The final result is most likely that the issue of “who started it first” will be left unresolved.

This is also the best result.

Then, according to the procedure, she had to collect evidence from the person who was bullied.

However, based on her experience in handling cases, she probably wouldn’t be able to get to this point.

“Don’t talk nonsense, now we need evidence!”

Watanabe Yu coughed lightly and turned to look at Hamabe Ryoko beside him.

When he took action, he had already prepared a backup plan.

“Officer, here is a recording and a video, please take a look.”

Ryoko Hamabe took out her cell phone from her pocket, opened the folder, and then handed the phone over.

“Let me see.”

Ikumi Eda took the phone and looked at the screen.

A word also came into her eyes.

【Physical evidence】

The moment she saw this word, she subconsciously raised her eyebrows and glanced at Watanabe Yu and Hamabe Ryoko.

If she didn’t know that Watanabe Yu was a kind person, this document alone would be enough to make her think that this was a setup.

Normal high school students don’t have so many thoughts and twists and turns.

But even though we don’t doubt it, we still have to make fun of what should be made fun of.

“You guys seem to be well prepared.”

She raised her head, met Watanabe Yu’s gaze, and said this sentence with a double meaning.

“Just more cautious.”

Watanabe Yu spread his hands and explained.

“Ah.”

Ikumi Eda chuckled and then clicked on the audio.

The hot blonde’s voice then appeared in the office.

What should be said is, “I was the first to start the fight, and I was the first to bring up the idea of ​​a samurai duel with you.” For some reason, it made her have hallucinations.

But she didn’t say much, just clicked on the video again.

The scenes in the video were pretty much the same as what she had imagined. The shaking camera and the candid angles made it seem more like it was ‘premeditated’ than an accidental act.

Of course, her wording may not be that accurate, but the general meaning is conveyed.

“With these two, there will be no problem.”

After handing the phone back, a hint of surprise flashed across Eda Ikumi’s eyes.

She could hear and see that the audio and video were recorded at different time periods, but were just brought out together now.

The most crucial point is that Hamabe Ryoko did not exaggerate or specify the time of the recording, and Watanabe Yu did not explain this.

This is undoubtedly the smartest approach!
This is the only way to achieve the best effect of this video and audio.

Because people will not doubt the results they come up with in their minds.

To use a very vivid metaphor, this is like shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target. Of course, this is not perfect.

If the bullied person chooses to act cowardly, it will cause big problems.

But judging from the expression of the boy wearing glasses just now, such a low-probability event is unlikely to happen.

“but……”

Suddenly, Ikumi Eda changed the subject.

“but?”

There was a hint of doubt in Watanabe Yu’s eyes.

“Why do you suddenly want to take care of this kind of thing? You know, this kind of thing is usually thankless.”

Ikumi Eda didn’t beat around the bush and said this directly.

Yes, it was somewhat inappropriate for her to say this given her identity, but Watanabe Yu was not an outsider, so she still asked directly.

In their society, school bullying is not uncommon, and everyone from teachers and principals to students accepts it.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a convention.

It is really difficult to break this status quo, and if you are not careful, you will be bitten back.

At this time last year, she handled a related civil dispute.

In the end, to everyone’s surprise, the bullied girl, due to pressure, actually blamed the people who helped her and chose to stand with the high school girl who bullied her.

At that time, she really felt very sad and angry.

Afraid of retaliation, so choose to hurt good people.

Should good people who stand up be bullied?
But for some reason, she didn’t say anything in the end. She just patted the girl who bravely stood up for justice on the shoulder and bought her a can of coffee.

The girl who bravely stood up for justice said she didn’t care, she was just carrying out the justice in her heart.

But how could she not see that the girl was completely desperate and would most likely not do such a thing again?

“I saw it, so I took care of it.”

Watanabe Yu’s answer was concise and to the point.

“Didn’t you think about the consequences?”

Ikumi Eda looked straight at him.

Their eyes met in the air.

At this moment, she seemed to see through his soul.

“I thought about it.”

“That……”

“You can’t be so afraid of this or that that you won’t stop something that’s wrong in the first place, right?”

In this regard, Watanabe Yu knew that he was a little too idealistic.

But since we can do it again, why not be more sincere?

“I suddenly seem to understand why Risa is full of praise for you.”

Ikumi Eda smiled and shook her head.

In her eyes, the most valuable thing about a man is always his sense of responsibility.

In this respect, Risa is the same as her.

In other words, if they were not highly united on this point, they would not have been the single mothers for so long.

“Maybe it’s because my grades are good.”

Watanabe Yu shrugged and made a little joke.

“I think so too.”

Ikumi Eda nodded in agreement.

It’s just that this ‘result’ is not that ‘result’.

“Well, that’s the end of the transcript. I will do my best to ensure that this matter is dealt with as it should be.”

After saying this, Ikumi Eda stood up and walked out of the office.

In fact, she did it.

after an hour.

Watanabe Yu, Hamabe Ryoko, and the bullied boy left the police station together.

As for the hot blonde girl and her friend, the former was waiting at the police station for parents and teachers to come and pick them up, while the latter had already sneaked away.

To tell you the truth, it’s not so nice to hear.

The latter’s escape was indeed consistent with his understanding of this relationship.

“Thank you for today.”

After walking for about five or six minutes, the boy with glasses stopped and bowed deeply to the two people in front of him.

He originally thought that the stolen money would never be returned, and his mother’s gift would also be ruined.

But who would have thought that things would take such a turn.

After coming to his senses, the scene of Watanabe Yu taking action kept repeating in his mind.

The girl who, in his eyes, had enough intimidation and was the one who had the final say in the class, was actually taught a lesson like that.

While feeling relieved, he also inexplicably developed some yearning.

If he could be like Watanabe Yu, he would not be bullied by them, and he would also help those who were bullied when they bullied people in his class.

“The person you should thank is not me, but my girlfriend.” Watanabe Yu paused, “Besides, you really should thank her.”

“……Um.”

Hearing this, the boy with glasses was stunned at first, but then he lowered his head and responded.

According to the comics he had read, at a time like this, Watanabe Yu should have said something impolite.

Why don’t you play according to the routine?
“If she wants to bully you again, you can use today’s incident as an opportunity. If she refuses to give in, you can make things worse, because this matter has not officially ended yet.”

Watanabe Yu taught him earnestly.

How could he not have thought of the things that Ryoko was worried about?

He knows very well that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

So, what he had to do was very simple, to give a talisman to the boy in front of him.

As for what this boy will do in the future and what choice he will make if he encounters such a thing again, it is not something he can decide.

“Ah.”

The boy still bent over.

“But what I hope more is that you have the courage to resist.” Watanabe Yu paused, “These people are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong.

“If you are a little tougher and hurt them, they will think twice before trying to bully you again, and they will pay the price for angering you.

“A fist can make an unreasonable person reasonable.

“It will make them more gentle.”

In fact, he didn’t intend to say so much at the beginning, but he couldn’t help it.

“Hai!”

The boy bent his waist even lower.

He could understand good and bad words, and he knew why Watanabe Yu wasted so much time talking.

“Don’t bend over, I’m leaving now.”

Watanabe Yu waved his hand and took Ryoko’s hand.

“Hai!”

But the boy didn’t listen to him and still bent over.

But there was a hint of determination in those drooped eyes.

He has memorized what Watanabe Yu said.

In the future, he will work hard to move in this direction.
