Chapter 684 Arakura Yumiko

Chapter 684 Arakura Yumiko
—————June 10, 6:30 p.m.——————

—————Shizuoka Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters——————

“Thank you very much for coming! Lawyer Xiang Yuan, we have been waiting for a long time!”

The old policeman from the local police headquarters in front of him started showing his craftsmanship from the beginning.

The standard 90-degree angle made Xiang Yuanguang a little dazed.

Aren’t you so cautious, buddy? Is this case really that difficult?
Moreover, as a lawyer, my position is obviously in opposition to that of your local police headquarters, right? After all, as a criminal lawyer, he must be defending the criminal suspects who are accused of guilt by the police.

At that time, if he gets the defendant prosecuted by the police to be acquitted.

Then, won’t the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters be at the mercy of public opinion?

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who had been yawning all the way after getting off the car, also came to her senses after the old policeman’s wonderful performance.

The expired young detective stroked her chin and her eyes fell on the old policeman in front of her.

She always felt that this matter might not be as boring or difficult as she imagined.

Although the large stack of investigation materials just produced by the Shizuoka Prefecture police was indeed quite strong.

But this just goes to show that the Shizuoka Prefecture police have the right attitude. It is estimated that by the time the trial begins, the evidence will be quite complete, so there will be no need for her, a former high school detective, and Xiang Yuan, a current lawyer, to conduct on-site investigations?

“…So, who is the person you are suing? Can I go to the detention center to meet him now?”

I’m not quite used to the old policeman’s attitude.

Xiang Yuanguang did not use too much red tape, but went straight to the point.

he asked the old policeman.

“The other witnesses and suspects in this case… Oh, not the one you’ve prosecuted, but the other suspects who haven’t been prosecuted but think they’re guilty. Are they at the police headquarters?”

“If he is, I will go to the detention center to question the suspect later.”

“Can I communicate and question those witnesses?”

Hearing Xiang Yuanguang’s words, the old policeman nodded without hesitation.

He agreed to Xiang Yuanguang’s request quite readily, as if this matter was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.

In fact, this matter is really not worth mentioning.

Anyway, normal procedures require a meeting. It is reasonable and logical to meet with the witness in the presence of police officers at the local police headquarters to inquire about some case-related matters. There is no need to be overly critical or make other demands.

Looking at the old policeman who agreed to the request immediately, Xiang Yuanguang felt a little emotional.

Apart from anything else, the Shizuoka Prefecture police officers really don’t like to make trouble.

In the past, when he went to places like Honkedai and Shikoku to defend himself, the police there would stop him without saying a word, and even meeting the criminal suspect took a lot of effort.

As for going to witness?

That’s almost impossible. Even the young man whose father and then his lover died, he only managed to make an appointment to discuss the details of the case after meeting in the court.

Tick, tick, tick.

While Genmitsu was talking to the Shizuoka Prefectural Police officer, footsteps were heard.

Several Shizuoka Prefecture police officers came out of the interrogation room next door with a woman who was about 20 years old and looked very young. The Shizuoka Prefecture police officer immediately perked up and said.

“Lawyer Xiang Yuan, look, that person is one of the witnesses in this case.”

…Is that person one of the witnesses in this case?

Following the words of the Shizuoka Prefecture police officer, Xiang Yuanguang’s gaze shifted and fell on the woman.

Then, the identity information given to him by the police officer on the Shinkansen train flashed through his mind.

Yumiko Arakura, a female actress, was said to have been harassed by the deceased in this case, Taiji Komiyama. Moreover, this is one of the suspects who admitted to the murder.

In Xiang Yuanguang’s opinion, killing people because Taiji Komiyama was pestering him was a relatively normal reason compared to those evildoers in Beika Town.

At least he felt that it was possible to commit a crime because of it.

“Well, that’s trouble.”

He snapped his fingers at Yuan Guang.

He immediately changed his mind and planned to go to the detention center to meet with the suspect first, and then go to the local branch to meet with other witnesses – the information said that the identities of several witnesses were not ordinary.

They are not always available to be questioned by a lawyer.

After all, he is just a lawyer, not a prosecutor, and it is not the obligation of these witnesses to accept questioning.

After getting Xiang Yuanguang’s exact meaning, the old police officer immediately took two quick steps and came to the police officer who was about to take Xin Cang Yumiko for a second statement.

After explaining the situation, the police officer then asked Yumiko Arakura next to her what she thought.

Afterwards, they came over to greet Xiang Yuanguang and asked him to go with them to the nearest interrogation room for questioning. Their police officers would accompany him and take notes.

I hope Xiang Yuanguang will be careful with his words and not say anything unkind.

After all, this is the Shizuoka Prefecture Police Headquarters. If the lawyer makes some unfavorable claims, it would be wrong for them to take notes, and it would be wrong not to take notes.

Therefore, it is better not to be so extreme…

——

Soon, the group arrived inside the interrogation room.

Yumiko Arakura sat opposite, looking a little nervous.

Mukai Genmitsu sat in the front, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki sat next to him as a legal assistant.

She took out a piece of paper and a pen, but she kept spinning the pen. It seemed that she didn’t really want to record the case.

The local police officer, on the other hand, was sitting there very professionally, ready to take notes.

The surveillance in the interrogation room is also on, and it won’t suddenly lose power for some reason.

“Ms. Niikura, I saw in the file that you said you thought you killed Mr. Komiyama Yasushi.”

“Excuse me, did you really kill Mr. Yasushi Komiyama?”

Xiang Yuanguang didn’t want to talk about anything else.

He just learned from the police that Yumiko Shinkura came here on her own initiative to take a second statement and plead guilty.

Therefore, he felt that there was a high probability that Yumiko Shinkura was ready to plead guilty.

Therefore, Xiang Yuanguang did not do any warm-up, but asked directly.

“Please answer my question clearly. Did you kill him, or not?”

In the system panel, [Heart Lock] has been turned on.

As long as Yumiko Shinkura gives the wrong answer, the heart lock will be opened immediately!
At that time, Xiang Yuanguang will be able to quickly determine whether Yumiko Shinkura is lying and whether she is the murderer.

I saw the young and beautiful actress speaking softly with the same seriousness.

“Yes, it was me who killed Mr. Komiyama!”

The heart lock did not activate.

The other person’s words come from the heart.
