Chapter 485 The New Job of the Working Emperor
…Who? Amuro Toru? So Furuya Rei suddenly found himself a new job?
Xiang Yuanguang almost lost his grip on his coffee cup, with a look of surprise on his face. In his impression, Amuro Toru should be responsible for investigating Miyano Akemi’s affairs, so how come he was doing other things in just a few days?
His surprised expression naturally caught the attention of several people on the field, and Gui Yueying asked curiously.
“What’s wrong? Mr. Xiang Yuan, is there anything strange about this name?”
Xiang Yuanguang coughed twice and took another sip of coffee to cover up his embarrassment.
He was the one who gave this name to Furuya Rei. Now the other party is using this name to contact Kigetsuki Hotaru with a clear conscience. As the only person who knows about it, how could he not feel embarrassed?
“If it’s him, I don’t think it’s surprising… After all, he’s a working emperor. I’m not surprised at how many jobs he changes and how many places he goes to in a day, even with the new scene of the court.”
If you must say it, as a public security officer, Fūya Rei does have experience in criminal cases, so it’s not surprising that he said this to Kizuki Hotaru. Moreover, due to the special nature of his identity, it is impossible for him to stay in the Procuratorate as a prosecutor for a long time.
As for why Furuya Rei came to the Criminal Department as a prosecutor instead of going to the Public Security Department, which had the closest relationship with him… maybe he was worried that Kusakabe Makoto, the ace prosecutor of the Public Security Department, would have a cerebral hemorrhage and explode with him.
“…But prosecutor isn’t something that can be considered a part-time job, right?”
The young prosecutor tilted her head, her confusion visibly evident.
Just when Xiang Yuanguang was thinking about how to explain the situation of Furuya Rei to Guiyue Ying, Furuya Rei himself was standing quietly in a high-rise room in a residential building somewhere, looking at the Xiangyuan Universal Office not far away and fell into deep thought.
Although he knew that Gui Yueying and Xiang Yuanguang had a good relationship, it was too outrageous for a prosecutor to ask a defense lawyer for help when he was entangled by a new junior…
He raised the telescope in his hand and tried to see the scene inside through the window of Xiangyuan Universal Office so that he could roughly judge the specific situation. However, the curtains of the office had never been opened.
“I feel like that little girl will mention my name soon, and then she’ll ask her hedgehog friend to call and ask about the details——————”
Furugaya Rei sighed and muttered to himself. His goal in approaching Kizuki Hotaru was naturally to use Kizuki Hotaru, the newly arrived prosecutor, to integrate into the atmosphere of the Criminal Department Prosecutor’s Office to facilitate further investigation.
Although he did not enter the courtroom and did not know the situation inside the courtroom on the day of the arrest of Curacao, he speculated that there must be a reason why the mysterious gunman could appear in the courtroom so suddenly.
For example, the sharpshooter was very familiar with the internal structure of the Tribunal, so he was able to immediately determine the location where the police intended to detain Ireland and Pisk, and then ambush them and escape unscathed.
And based on the witness’s description of the black-clad gunman’s body shape, he could probably rule out the three presiding judges who appeared most frequently in that courtroom as suspects – these three brothers were simply copy-and-pasted with only their hairstyles changed.
Then, Furuya Rei narrowed his suspicions to the lawyers and prosecutors who frequently appeared in the courtroom. First of all, he could rule out Genkou because there were eyewitnesses who saw him being sniped, thus ruling out the possibility that he staged the incident himself.
In addition, there is the lawyer who is often active in that courtroom, the rookie lawyer Sono Nakaki who only handles civil cases, and Eri Kisaki, who was scolded by the client at the time and has a high attendance rate because she is an ace lawyer… This person’s gender does not match, and she has been active in Tokyo. According to the information collected from Kogoro Mouri, the possibility that Eri Kisaki has extraordinary marksmanship and physical skills can be basically ruled out.
Then there are the prosecutors from the Ministry of Public Security. Because the prosecutors from the Ministry of Public Security do exactly what the public security police do, except for the ace prosecutor Kusakabe Makoto, who may be dissatisfied with the Ministry of Public Security and take negative actions, the others can be cleared of suspicion.
And Kusakabe Makoto… According to Furuya Rei’s observation, this guy doesn’t seem to have that kind of fighting ability. All he does every day is fight lawsuits and type code on his computer, and he rarely even exercises.
In the end, Furuya Rei narrowed down the possibility of the black-clad gunman to several prosecutors in the Criminal Division. Because of Vermouth’s existence, he did not dare to assert that he could not be a suspect because of his different gender.
Because most of the criminal prosecutors do what they want, Furuya Rei simply entered the criminal prosecutor’s office and planned to judge who is most likely to be the black-clad gunman by the way they handle the case and prosecute the case.
“It seems unlikely that it’s Gui Yueying, so, is it someone else?”
Furutani Rei put down his telescope. It was said that Mr. Xiang Yuan was both literary and martial, and was proficient in wind magic and mind reading. Although he did not believe it, judging from his extremely high winning rate and martial arts skills, the rumors were not groundless.
The fact that he is both literate and martial is obviously true, but the magic of wind is most likely fake, because the other party is a famous black magician who is good at magic. It may be a special effect created by magic, but the mind-reading ability is very likely true.
It’s not that Xiang Yuanguang used a magic called mind reading, but that the other party is good at skills such as criminal psychology, and can judge whether the target is lying through the target’s micro-expressions and language, thus achieving the effect of mind reading.
Since Xiang Yuanguang and Gui Yueying have a good relationship now, it at least means that the other party has never suspected that Gui Yueying is the black-clad gunman. With the guarantee of this person who has considerable influence in the public security department, Gui Yueying’s suspicion can indeed be ruled out.
Then the next target of suspicion would fall on prosecutors Reiko Kujo and Prosecutor Sugiura, because both Reiko Kujo and Prosecutor Sugiura were not in Tokyo for a period of time.
Reiko Kujo had gone to the United States for further studies and had only recently returned, while Prosecutor Sugiura had previously worked as a prosecutor in the Honkedai area and had been transferred to Tokyo for further studies, or gilding.
The final suspect is Kuma Sukawa, a senior prosecutor in Tokyo. This prosecutor has always been very low-key, but the success rate of the cases he is responsible for is quite high and he has almost never made mistakes.
Therefore, Furuya Rei might rank Kuma Sukawa last in his suspicions.
Just when he was about to end the observation, an accident happened.
