Chapter 63: Rebirth in the Fire
After Conan and Toru Amuro jointly endorsed that the victim was most likely the bomber who was currently being hunted everywhere, the police quickly searched the other party's house. They found a large number of bomb materials, structural diagrams, and maps marking the explosion location, as well as a bunch of doctrines, instruments, and ritual diagrams of the so-called Fire Spirit Son Church, which confirmed that the deceased was the evil bomber.
This made the police officers present feel relieved. On the one hand, they no longer had to worry about the psychotic bomber threatening the safety of the Japanese people. On the other hand, it also proved that He Jing Yasheng was completely acting in self-defense. After all, this was a terrorist who had planted so many bombs throughout Tokyo. He Jing Yasheng was a weak and sickly, pitiful minor who actively cooperated with the police. How could he have premeditated, targeted, and planned to kill the other party?
It must be the bomber's fault, and it has nothing to do with Kazukage Yayoi! It is better to say that Kazukage Yayoi was simply acting in self-defense, no, he was a good young man who acted bravely!
The entire Metropolitan Police Department agreed with this conclusion and their concern and care were evident in their words.
The pretty and dashing policewoman, Officer Sato, held a small box and gently placed it in front of Yayoi Hejing. As a representative elected by a group of big men, she used the most gentle and kind tone in her life: "Hejing, it's already 5 o'clock in the morning. Are you hungry? Sorry, all the shops nearby are closed. There are only some cup noodles in the vending machine. Do you want to eat some? Oh, and there are also drinks. I don't know what you like to drink, so I bought some of them."
Yayoi Kazukage sat quietly on a chair. He had been very quiet since he entered the Metropolitan Police Department, with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking. The police thought he was probably frightened. Considering the deceased's attire and Yayoi Kazukage's underage status, the police did not even let Yayoi Kazukage enter the interrogation room, but took him to a small room. There were green plants, sofas, a water dispenser and drinks in the room, which looked like a lounge for the police. However, the police still locked the door from the outside, and there were two surveillance cameras installed in the room.
"Thank you, I'm a little hungry." Kazukage Yayoi had never eaten instant noodles before. At this moment, smelling the fragrance of the instant noodles, he couldn't help but want to try it.
On the contrary, Morobushi Kagemitsu, who had always been calm, was running around excitedly. After all, he hadn't seen his workplace for a long time, but he couldn't be too far away from Kage Yayoi, so he could only walk around nearby.
"Yayoi, the forensic department has the results out. Most of the fingerprints on the knife are from the bomber, Shota Nakayama, and you only have one. Now they have preliminarily determined that the knife belongs to Shota Nakayama. Once they find his purchase records, they will probably be able to let you go." Zhu Fujingguang went outside for a walk and came back to inform Kazukage Yayoi, only to see him eating a cup of noodles.
"Wow, it's Nissin cup noodles, I used to eat it often." Zhu Fujingguang's eyes lit up, he walked over, sat next to Kazukage Yayoi, and looked at the cup noodles with some nostalgia. Whether it was when he was a child, or after entering the police academy, or even when he was an undercover in the organization. When he didn't have time to eat, he either ate bread or cup noodles, but he hadn't eaten for a long time, after all, he had been dead for so long.
[Want to eat? I'll go back and think of a way.] Of course, a dead person cannot touch food, even if he becomes a weapon soul, he is still a form of spirit.
[Hmm? Can it be possible?] Zhu Fujingguang knew that he couldn't eat it, and he never thought that he could eat it. He just missed it.
[Is it an offering? Placed in front of a tombstone or an altar?] Zhu Fujingguang thought about the stories about gods and monsters he had heard. Generally, people placed offerings in front of the ancestral tablets or in front of the monster temples.
Thanatos is not from the Japanese mythology system. He was puzzled for a moment. "Don't they burn them with fire? I haven't worshipped them either, but I heard from others that they burn them, and some kill them directly in front of the temple... er, sacrifice. However, although they have a lot of fancy tricks, singing and dancing, to be honest, I don't watch them at all. Maybe some gods who like to watch performances would be willing to go and watch them live. 】
Zhu Fu Jingguang glanced at He Jing Yayoi, but didn't intend to ask what he had killed. Seeing that He Jing Yayoi changed the subject, he also changed the subject.
[Then let me tell you about Japanese mythology. Well, let’s talk about Yamata no Orochi.]
Just as Kazukage Yayoi was eating cup noodles and Morobushi Keimitsu was telling stories about monsters he had heard, Officer Sato came in again.
"Mr. Kazue, we confirm that your actions were legitimate defense. Congratulations, you can leave the Metropolitan Police Department, but it's late now, let us take you back to the hospital." Officer Takagi stood behind Officer Sato. He was so sleepy that he kept yawning. When he saw Kazue Yayoi, he took the time to wave and say hello. He had met Kazue Yayoi in the previous barber shop case and KTV case, but Officer Sato had never met Kazue Yayoi.
"Thank you. That's troublesome." Kazukage Yayoi put down the cup noodles in his hand and followed Officer Sato and Officer Takagi out of the Metropolitan Police Department. Before, Amuro Toru and Conan had been looking at the case for a long time without any result, so they stayed for a while and then left. At this time, Officer Sato helped to send him back, otherwise he would be afraid that the doctor would keep nagging him.
The police still focused on the deceased, Nakayama Shotasu, and did not investigate Jing Yayoi too much. All they knew was that he had been robbed this afternoon and was injured and hospitalized. His condition was quite critical. As a result, when he went home to get his hospital supplies, he was involved in a new crime. It was a miserable life. He had no relatives or friends, so he had to go home to prepare his supplies when he was hospitalized. On the way, Mr. Amuro was in a hurry to help the bomber with his case, so he dropped him off on the roadside, but he got lost and met the bomber. Fortunately, Jing Yayoi was good at fighting and successfully subdued and solved the problem, so that not too many innocent people were harmed.
The above is the conclusion drawn by the police investigation: a completely innocent, unlucky victim.
As for why he couldn't beat the criminal when he was in good health, but beat him when he was in bad health. The Metropolitan Police Department said that you are too picky. People will always burst out their potential when facing death. Although some policemen found it strange, in the end everyone tacitly ignored these strange things. Why are you so harsh on a person who solved the bombing? It's a big deal for Kazukage Yayoi to help them and solve Tokyo's problems. It's not surprising that she was on the news and won a medal.
Having just experienced a tragedy, Japan needs a piece of positive news, and Kazukage Yayoi is a good news material. Even if this material has flaws, the government will help him cover it up.
Officer Sato said gently, "It's too late today. Wait two days, when you feel better, we will take you to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a statement. Don't worry, we have determined that you acted in self-defense, and it's just a formality."
Normally, even if it is confirmed that it is self-defense, they will not release the person so quickly. They will be detained for two days at least. But after all, Kazukage Yayoi is a minor who is injured and hospitalized, and is weak and sick. The Metropolitan Police Department is not so inhumane. After finding out Nakayama Shotasu's identity, they quickly released him and sent him back to the hospital for further treatment. Of course, the police will also send people to guard Kazukage Yayoi just in case.
"I'll be watching over you for the next two days. The doctor said your condition is unstable and you need someone to take care of you. The Metropolitan Police Department is full of roughnecks, and I'm the only female police officer on duty today. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
He Jing Yasheng nodded. Although he was still energetic after absorbing the soul, as an inpatient, he should have reached his limit at this time. He yawned, his eyes began to blur, his eyelids kept fighting, and soon he fell into a "deep sleep".
Officer Takagi in the front row was also very sleepy, but he managed to stay awake. Seeing that Kazuki Yayoi had fallen asleep, he took off his police jacket and covered Kazuki Yayoi with it while the traffic light was red. The weather was certainly not cold, but the air conditioning still made people feel a little chilly.
"This child is so pitiful. He already had a miserable life, and now he's been in danger one after another recently." Officer Takagi whispered, his tone full of heartache.
Officer Sato nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it was bad enough that his parents got into trouble, and his leg was broken by a falling bookcase. Then, he got robbed and injured. When he went home to get something, he ran into a bomber. His luck is really..."
"The child is a good kid. He is said to have good grades and take good care of his classmates. He is very popular in Teitan High School." Officer Sato thought about the search records he saw. "But the guardian behind him is too unreliable. Even in this situation, he said that he had something to do abroad and couldn't come back. Let him handle it himself. What? Is there any parent like this?"
As a minor, Kazukage Yayoi's parents would of course be contacted, but it was unknown which member of the organization answered the phone. But it was absolutely impossible to ask the members of the organization to come to the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Officer Takagi looked at Officer Sato, who was suddenly a little loud due to excitement, and immediately whispered to him to speak more quietly.
Officer Sato immediately put his hand over his mouth and gestured apologetically, "I'm sorry, is he not awake?"
Officer Takagi glanced back and shook his head, "He must be exhausted and sleeping soundly."
It was just dawn. On the other side, in the police department, Toru Amuro placed a teddy bear doll with one eye missing on his desk with a gloomy face.
The washing label of the doll is no longer legible, and it has been worn for at least three years, but the doll itself is well maintained, and all the wear and tear is new, proving that the owner loves her doll very much. The traces of being splashed with drinks, stepped on, and having its eyes torn off can only have happened shortly before the explosion. In that case, no one would put a tattered bear doll that has been stepped on several times neatly on the chair.
Unless that person knows where the explosion will occur, or in other words, he knows where is safe, he will not have the leisure to pick up a teddy bear.
But that person was not the bomber. Before the explosion, Conan found the criminal and installed a locator on him. Conan ensured that the other party did not appear in that area.
"Mr. Furuya, this is the information you requested. This is all the surveillance footage from Ginza that we could find one hour before and after the incident." Kazama Yuya handed over a USB drive. "As for the doll, the victim Asakusa Gin's parents recognized it as their daughter's. This is another doll they have."
Fūya Rei took the doll and looked at the label. The production dates were the same, so they were indeed a pair of dolls.
"Did they say when the doll was lost?"
Hearing this, Yuya Kazama's eyes sparkled with admiration, "Just like what you said, Mr. Fūya, they said that when they were separated from Asakusa Yin, Asakusa Yin was still holding the doll."
All of this is known, Mr. Furiya is really amazing! Fengjian Yuya clenched his fists in his heart, he also wanted to work hard and try to keep up with Mr. Furiya's pace.
He didn't notice at all that at this moment, Furuya Rei was tapping the desk with his fingertips, with a fixed rhythm like a drum beat, dong, dong, dong, which made him panic, and he didn't feel happy at all because of his accurate judgment. The long silence finally made Fengjian Yuya realize that something was wrong, and he asked hesitantly: "Furuya...Mr.?"
Furiya Rei finally reacted and smiled apologetically, "Okay, well done, you can get out first."
Since it was not the doll placed by the murderer, there were only two people left: the elusive Yayoi Kazukage and the suddenly disappeared Hiromu Oda. When he saw the doll, he realized that this was a game designed by someone. Everyone was just a chess piece on the board, and only the chess player laughed at them from behind.
"By the way, Kazama, I have approved the case report on the "June 15th Sanno Festival" cult case submitted by the Metropolitan Police Department. On behalf of the Police Department, I will review the relevant approval documents and fax them to you later."
"Okay, Mr. Fūya. Also, the Metropolitan Police Department said they want to hold a press conference to publicly praise the young man who bravely acted this time. Heroes are born young. If it weren't for him, we would have a lot of work to do."
Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment, then he smiled meaningfully, and said slowly and subtly, "...You're right, if it weren't for him..."
"Let the Metropolitan Police Department hold the ceremony. If you want the public security department to present the awards, that's fine too." Toru Amuro chuckled and waved his hand to signal Kazama to leave.
Then he turned on his computer and began to write the real report on the "June 15th "Sanno Festival" cult case."
"Yayoi Kazukage...codename: Gem...mentally abnormal...severe hallucinations...suspected to be involved in...five cases in total, with a total of 28 victims. It is not recommended that any police officer approach or investigate...if...the following situation occurs..."
Fūya Rei's fingers paused for a second, then continued typing:
"It is recommended to shoot immediately."
