Unlucky Man - Sosuke Fubuki 23
"Are you still not going to speak?" Date Kou got close to Kikuchi Koichi's face. The man, who had been maintaining the decent appearance of a senior white-collar worker, tried to step back to escape the oppression brought by the police, but was handcuffed and firmly fixed in front of the chair. "Even if you remain silent, the evidence has already appeared."
Ignoring the suspect's changing expression, Date Kou continued to speak. In this small interrogation room, he felt at home. "Mr. Kikuchi, you are a bold and careful planner," the tough policeman's eyes shone with disdain, "but in terms of execution, you are not even qualified."
Tell the suspect in a confident tone that the police have relevant evidence to increase psychological pressure, "Do you think you really cleaned the blood on your clothes?" Date Kou aggressively, "After killing President Kujo, you rushed to catch a bus. We simulated the route several times and finally found the clothes you wore on the way to the station." The table was hit hard again, and Kikuchi Koichi used his falling hair to cover the action of licking his lips, which was clearly exposed. "Nowadays, technology is changing with each passing day. It's easy to prove whether it was you who wore it!"
Even in modern times, in order to create an atmosphere, the lights in the interrogation room are usually not bright enough. The light from the incandescent lamp is almost focused on the face of Kikuchi Koichi. This man in his forties is incredibly embarrassed. His forehead is covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes are already oozing physiological tears due to being exposed to the light for a long time. No matter what kind of mental preparation you have made in advance, when things really happen, you will find your limits.
"Mr. Kikuchi, you must hate President Kujo too," said Kou's partner, Takagi Wataru, at the right time. His honest face did not arouse people's vigilance. At least Kikuchi Koichi seemed to relax a little. "I heard that Kujo Real Estate was inherited by President Kujo from his grandfather, and three generations of the Kujo family are perfectionists. You subordinates must have a hard time too."
He didn't care about Kikuchi Koichi's silence. Anyway, from the time he was arrested until now, silence was Kikuchi Koichi's normal state. He didn't know whether it was because he had made up his mind or something else, but no matter how much pressure he was put under during the interrogation, the suspect never spoke. "Mr. Tsuchiya's experience is not an isolated case but a norm. President Kujo is a very strict person. He will beat and scold employees for the slightest thing, and he is more fussy than his father and grandfather. He once forced employees to resign who talked back to him. It is common for him to belittle them in public. He has a strong desire for control. Mr. Kikuchi was forced to live in the dormitory for a while, right? Even though your wife was pregnant at that time, President Kujo still forbade you to go home because your commuting time would affect your work..."
Takagi Wataru's tone was soft and gentle, and his voice did not make people feel threatening at all. Kikuchi Koichi raised his head and opened his mouth slightly under the fierce gaze of Date Kou, as if he wanted to say something.
"You've had enough."
Takagi Shigeru said this in a declarative tone.
