At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
In Fujioka's desperate and ferocious expression, Takase Fumito's terrified backsliding expression, Megure Jusan's shocked and pale faces...
The muzzle spewed out gray smoke and flames, and the bullet flew out of the barrel at high speed...
Blood burst out of the chest. The bullet penetrated the epidermis and dermis, broke the hair follicles, passed through the subcutaneous tissue, shot into the middle lobe of the lung, and stayed in the body and rotated...
The devastating restraining force forced Takase Fumito to fall backwards, and the severe pain had not yet reached his brain.
“Ahhhh!!!”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Fujioka obviously had no intention of stopping. He kept pulling the trigger, and the slide jumped back and reset, sending bullet after bullet into Takase Fumito's body.
Bullet casings fell one by one into the mud at their feet, which was stained with Hinako's blood.
until...
Click!
After 7 rounds of bullets were fired, the linkage mechanism could not be reset and the slide was stuck backwards.
Even so, Fujioka continued to pull the trigger, his red eyes filled with madness.
“Put down the gun!!!”
The police, who were already somewhat hypersensitive, drew out their standard-issue M60 pistols, pointed them at Fujioka, and shouted nervously.
But Fujioka was immersed in the sorrow of revenge but emptiness. He stood there stiffly with a dull expression.
The police officers had their hands on the trigger and could shoot at any time.
A huge force...
Coming from behind his knees, Sakaki Makoto snatched the gun from his hand, pinned him to the ground, lifted his head, and pointed forward:
"Lift your head and look carefully!"
"You avenged Hinako with your own hands!"
Coming back to his senses, Fujioka looked in the direction he pointed, and saw...
Takase Fumito collapsed to the ground helplessly. He began to bleed profusely from the bullet. His alveoli ruptured and dark red blood gushed out of his mouth. He also began to cough violently:
"Ahem! Hoo... Hoo..."
Multiple organs failed rapidly and severe pain spread to his brain, but he couldn't even utter a moan. The powerful adrenaline was secreted desperately in an attempt to save his life.
However...
After struggling for a few times, his body stopped shaking, his pupils lost their light, and his breathing stopped...
Life has entered the final countdown.
[Ah... It's so cold...]
Many strange scenes appeared in front of his eyes, including a dark closet, a cold bathroom, and an ever-expanding goldfish toy ball...
In his ears, he, who was already deaf, heard the crying of children, the surprise of the little nurse, and...
The mother's gasp of relief.
【in the end...】
【What did I do wrong...】
The images and sounds gradually faded away, and darkness fell.
"No."
Putting his finger on Takase Fumito's neck artery, Megure Jusan shook his head:
"Dead."
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
They knew why Fujioka shot.
If you put yourself in their shoes...
They might make the same choice as Fujioka.
When Takase Fumito's body was covered with a white cloth and Fujioka was handcuffed...
The case is finally over.
What happens next is not something the police need to worry about.
Fujioka will face murder charges, the law is harsh, but...
Doesn’t the judge who pronounces the punishment have any feelings too?
As long as there is pressure from public opinion, he can back down and reduce his sentence as appropriate.
After learning the news from the scene, Ishikawa Hide set off for the news agency.
......................
"Did you know Fujioka would seek revenge?"
On the way back to Agasa's residence, Miss Miyano looked at him curiously:
"Why?"
"I'm just considering it from my own perspective."
Taking a walk at night, Sakaki Makoto said calmly:
"Ishikawa-san, you are not someone who would just sit there and watch..."
"That's not what I'm asking."
Miss Miyano shook her head, her pupils slightly shining:
"Why didn't you stop him?"
"Takase Fumito has killed three people. The case is so bad that the death penalty is almost certain and inevitable."
"Under such circumstances, if Fujioka is still imprisoned, wouldn't that delay him?"
With a smile, Sakaki Cheng took her little hand, kissed her, and said:
"My eldest lady..."
"If I had stopped Fujioka, Takase wouldn't be the only one to die today."
"What's the meaning?"
Blinking her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she asked in confusion:
"Will Fujioka commit suicide?"
"yes..."
Sakaki Makoto sighed quietly:
“The reason why people live is because they have something called hope in their hearts to support them. No matter how hard or difficult the days are, as long as you look for it with your heart, you will find hope.”
"But those who are hit hard are different. They will fall into despair and be confused."
"The pistol Fujioka used belonged to Ishikawa-san."
"Ishikawa Hide?"
Miss Miyano understood immediately:
"You mean..."
"Um."
Slowing down his pace, Makoto Sakaki quite enjoyed the tranquility of the moment. He took a deep breath and looked up at the night sky:
"According to Mr. Ishikawa's personality..."
"He will definitely not watch Fujioka commit suicide."
"For this reason, Ishikawa-san will give Fujioka a new hope, and among all the hopes, the one that ranks first is called repaying a favor."
“In the process of repaying a favor, people will find their next goal and continue to live.”
