Taka took a deep breath, turned his head to the side, and said to the recorder, ”A new persona has eed inside 0098 He calls himself the crime novelist, Mr F
”Mr F suffers from the same symptom as the main persona, Hirata Shuichi He believes that he ca Hirata's body”
Feng Bujue waited from him to finish and tossed the questions that he wanted to ask out ”Doctor, since it is now 2005, Hirata's case should have closed a long tied with two cases of premeditated homicides,” Taka replied ”One of them was a police officer, so his verdict was serious But considering your motive and mental state, the final verdict was life i Bujue asked
”This is a prison for mental patients,” Taka said ”We conduct a new assess now”
”How has Hirata perfor Bujue asked
”Much more normal than you are now,” Taka replied ”When he is in control of his faculties, Hirata told ht back to those incidents, he would fall into a black and white world No matter how many times it happened, his hosts
”Sometimes, the personas of Watanabe and Tachibana appeared, and when that happened, Hirata would talk to himself I've tried to communicate with these two personas before, and the criminal events that they described were similar to the ones recorded by the police
”Thus, I believe that these two personas don't really knohat happened back then They merely took the information that the police told Hirata later as their own memory”
HeBujue's face ”What about you, Mr F? You seem to be very interested in that case, so that ht?”
”Yes, that is the question I have Fifteen years have passed, and since the verdict result is two premeditated homicides, then… Officer Ya Bujue asked
”Seven years after the incident, Officer Yamada's body was found,” Taka answered ”It was about that tiained contact with you”
”Then… this iven was 'two pre Bujue questioned
”Well,” Taka answered, ”based on the situation back then, the case couldn't have been clearer Hirata-san'sin, and he had no other family and no friends to step forward as his character witness Even the lawyer assigned to hiht the case as a convicted felon, so… basically, the sentence hatever was decided by the prosecutor All the evidences pointed toward a single truth, that was killing the police officer, grabbing the gun, killing his boss, and then going insane”
”Preposterous,” Feng Bujue scoffed ”Before eli all the other possibilities, how could you even take that as the absolute truth?
”Perhaps it was Yaun at Hirata's ho Haruko Sato, as at ho it at a suicide… Then, that would be able to explain why Hirata went to work like nor of the 27th”
Taka looked at him for two seconds ”Ha ha… Mr F, if you'd shown up fifteen years ago and represented Hirata-san as his defense, he hter sentence”
He took up the documents on the table ”Unfortunately, today, at least two pieces of evidence could undo your hypothesis First, Yamada had no connection with the trio of fukui, Hirata, and Haruko The police did a thorough investigation Be it a fli connecting the police officer to theested he ht have done
”Second, the location Yamada's body was found was at the ruins of Hirata's old home that was hit by the tornado The piece of land was sold by the govern up the foundation that the body was found The time of death was narrowed down to seven years prior, and even though the body had decayed to bones, there was enough coloration on the bones to discern the cause of death It was undeniably a pre Bujue was silent for a few seconds before shrugging ”Fine, actually, I was merely dissatisfied with the due process and had to coe the verdict”
”Mr F, the evidence of Hirata-san's crimes is undeniable,” Taka said ”Now that I have satisfied your curiosity, how about you cooperate with me and answer some of my questions?”
”As I predicted, you aren't real either” Feng Bujue interrupted Taka, thinking, I believe I knohat this whole scenario is about now
