Chapter 111 Hirata’s World 6
”Dece Bujue followed up ”The first part of the recording happened on November 24th, yes?”
”Yes”
”Then, when did the second part of the recording occur?” Feng Bujue asked
Watanabe did not answer instantly He needed some time to think Officer Tachibana, as more familiar with the case, picked up the thread of conversation from behind ”fukui was shot on November 26th That afternoon, he ordered all the maids in his manor to leave, and the reason was… for him to meet your wife, Haruko Sato, without any witness”
He paused slightly when he said this, probably thinking of a better way to phrase this particular event ”Personally, I do believe that bstard, fukui, deserved what he got, but to obtain the ed ive you any leeway in this investigation”
At this point, Watanabe added, ”fukui's body was not found until the afternoon of the next day Since it was a death caused by gunfire, the investigation went very carefully And that day, Hirata-san went to work at his co was out of the ordinary His wife, Haruko Sato, did not show up for work, and the third part of the recording happened that night”
”Then,” Feng Bujue said, ”the disappearance of Officer Yamada should have happened between Nove of Noveht?”
”He went out on a patrol on his bicycle on the night of the 25th and no one had seen him since,” Officer Tachibana replied
”Was the bicycle discovered?” Feng Bujue asked
”Stop trying to change the subject! I', where have you hidden the man‽” Tachibana roared
”So, based on your reaction, the bicycle was never found…” Feng Bujue hummed to himself ”Het the words out?” Tachibana tossed the cigarette that he was holding to the ground and charged forward once nored the man and continued with his own hypothesis ”Based on e, the public safety in japan is one of the best in the world The ratio of law enforcement to the public is well above the required ratio Only captains and inspectors are ar about a s to serious cri that is related to public safety is handled by the sa that Yaet
”Here's what I think assuun, he had two options The first was to steal, and the second was torequires technique, and he would be stealing from a police officer If he failed, he would definitely be sent into prison, and his intention offukui would be exposed Of course, Hirata would not have cared about the consequences, but that was for the sake of oal, he would not allow any holes in his plan So… the chance ofOf course, the criain, that cri another person
”Since he decided on , there was no requireht, a location where people rarely ventured, and then he could assault the defenseless Yaun away from the unconscious officer But if that was the case, Ya Atunconscious by the side of the road
”But the fact of theThis proves that so Yainally only intended to knock Officer Yath and accidentally killed the poor officer…”
”You bstard!” Tachibana was for real this ti Bujue's collar ”You have finally admitted to the truth, haven't you‽ Speak! Where is Ya Bujue continued his extrapolation cal up the hypotheses based on the clues that you have told h…”
At this point, he suffered a heavy punch to his stoht down to thirty percent, and he was inflicted with the status of Paralysis
”Officer Tachibana!” Watanabe quickly rushed forward to pull the uncle back ”Please do not apply physical punishment on the suspect!”
”Suspect? This bstard has killed at least two people already!” Tachibana yelled
”Officer Tachibana, that is enough,” Watanabe said in a placating tone
Feng Bujue suffered an unfair punch The is to vanish, and it took hiain Without even realizing it, he lost hiot where he was This punch hth the two before hiically communicated with, he was in no way 'safe' Any smallthe wrong word, or even saying the right word in the wrong tone, would possibly cause instant death
”Huh… Huh…” Feng Bujue caught his breath and sed a mouthful of saliva Then, he continued the thread of conversation that was interrupted earlier ”If Hirata a his patrol and killed him, then… the bicycle should have been found”
Officer Tachibana seeo of theBujue to see what he was going to say next
”When Hirata realized that he had accidentally killed a police officer, he would only have two choices left First, grab the gun and leave the scene as fast as he could; second, take care of the dead body before escaping If it was the second scenario, it would have been physically impossible for him to move both the dead body and the bicycle at the same time At most, he would have moved the bicycle to an inconspicuous corner to hide and then gone back to the crime scene to deal with the dead body…”
At this point, he paused again to ask, ”By the way, does Hirata own a car?”
”No,” Watanabe replied ”In fact, he does not even have a driver's license”
”Then, we can safely rule out Hirata using a car to run down Ya both the dead body and the bicycle into the trunk to transport theful way He paused for yet another ten seconds to arrange his thoughts ”Currently, I have three hypotheses
”First, after Hirata assaulted Yaed the body away to a secluded part of town and disposed of the body there The bicycle was thus left at the roadside and was probably taken away by someone else This third party probably did not witness the assault, and that hy they were brave enough to steal the bicycle So, the chance of it being a hoh Perhaps they have left the sh some channel that the bicycle was involved in a cri implicated, tossed the bicycle into the river or deconstructed it into parts to be sold
”Second, after Hirata assaulted Officer Yamada, the latter did not die or even fell unconscious Furtherot a clear look of Hirata's face Then, Hirata would have no choice If he let Yao, he would be arrested in a un that he had stolen froe He would take the officer to a secluded place to detain… or kill him there If that was the case, then it would be Officer Yamada himself who pushed the bicycle away under the order of Hirata, who had the gun
”Third, after Hirata realized that he had killed the officer in an accident, he indeed grabbed the gun and ran But after he ran, someone else came to the crime scene to deal with both the dead body and the bicycle”
”What do you erously
”That is ical supposition Theoretically, all these hypotheses could be true Perhaps so from a far and happened to know Hirata Therefore, after Hirata escaped, he took care of the crime scene to help cover up the crie to blackun to help hi Bujue replied
”That's enough rubbish out of you! For how long do you plan to play duive us Yaround down to its barethat still confusesBujue said ”On the afternoon of Noveht of Noveun from Officer Yamada; on the afternoon of November 26th, he went to fukui's manor to catch his wife in bed with another man and shoot the man dead on the spot…”
He turned to look at Watanabe ”Since you said there was no witness, how did you know that Haruko was inside the room when Hirata broke into the room that afternoon?”
”That was based on Hirata-san's own description and the conclusion wethe crime scene,” Watanabe answered ”He said that when he opened the roo in bed, and aHaruko Therefore, he used the gun to kill the un, but he said that he could not remember”
”ThisBujue asked
”On the night of the 27th, the officers rushed to the scene following a police report They found Haruko Sato's body in Hirata's roons at the crime scene, it looked like a suicide The predicted time of death was the afternoon of the 27th, and at the ti like nor Bujue summarized, ”on the 26th, after Hirata killed fukui at the latter's manor, he took Haruko home The next day, Hirata showed up at the company for work like usual while his wife committed suicide at home
”I don't think Haruko Sato loved her lover so ain, she did not call the police to ask for help… This ical trauma, or perhaps it was an action that she was couilt toward her husband”
