Chapter 7
A man in the car, looking unhappy, was combing his messy hair in front of the mirror. He had a nice face, but his mouth made people want to raise their fists. "This rude guy who woke me up so early in the morning should be sent to Ueno Zoo to be kicked in the head by a hippopotamus for an hour."
The familiar tone and speed reminded Sugawara Yoshiyo of the first time they met. The law trainee, who was knocked out and nearly killed by a student from the same school because of his sharp tongue, did not seem to have learned his lesson, but instead became even more arrogant.
Why?
Looking at the elegant butler sitting in the driver's seat in the front row, he said considerately, "I'm sorry, Miss Sugawara, but Attorney Kumimon is quite grumpy when he wakes up.
It must be hard to get up so early. I put some tea and cakes in the thermos at the back. Please have some."
What a considerate housekeeper! Yoshiyo Sugawara couldn't help shaking her head as she looked at Lawyer Kumimon, who was sticking out his butt to get out the tea and drinking it by himself.
"I will pay more for the travel expenses. The reason I called Attorney Kumemon here so early is because your client may be facing very unfair treatment." Sugawara Yoshiyo said.
"Shiner-kun went to look for his work partner but happened to come across the scene where his partner was murdered. Coincidentally, the detective appeared immediately and took Shiner-kun back. I'm a little worried." said Yoshiyo Sugawara.
"Ms. Sugawara, are you worried that your friend will be tortured into confessing?" Kumimon looked at the woman in front of him, holding a cup of black tea.
"That's partly because I'm worried that Shiru-kun won't be used to the environment there," Sugawara Yoshiyo said. "Shiru-kun used to live in the mountains, where the people were very feudal."
She was actually more worried that Chanyuan Shener would not cooperate with the judicial process and would become an outlaw again. What if it happened just as she wanted and met the requirements of the forehead suture line?
"As you said, the incident should have occurred only a few hours ago. Given the efficiency of the Japanese police, they should have collected all the evidence by now.
Miss Sugawara, you have enough bail and a good enough lawyer, so your client will be released soon." said Gu Meimen.
"I am the lawyer of Chanyuan Shen'er. I am here to bail out my client. Please take me and my client to see Mr. Chanyuan Shen'er immediately." When he appeared at the police station, the sharp-tongued lawyer with a meticulous 3:7 hairstyle was already in full swing.
When they reached the door of the interrogation room unhindered, they heard a muffled sound.
This sound was unfamiliar to Kumimon, but not to Sugawara Yoshiyo.
After the police officer in charge of bail opened the door, the scene that happened in the interrogation room appeared in front of everyone.
A black-haired man in handcuffs sat in the corner, with obvious redness and swelling on his cheeks and fresh and obvious shoe prints on his body.
Looking at the two detectives who kept making "hissing" sounds and seemed to be unharmed but staggered with extremely ugly faces, and the person sitting in the corner with obvious scars of being beaten, Gu Meimen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Seeing Sugawara Yoshiyo kneeling next to the person involved, who looked extremely small because of his body size, he couldn't help but marvel. Should he remind his employer to be careful not to be deceived by bad men?
He must have been deceived. This man who is stronger than a fitness coach should have been worried about the police officers' families in the interrogation room.
Gu Meimen felt that the image of the simple country boy in his head was completely shattered. This guy could be put on a red-light district street and work as a gigolo without any problem.
"Shinji-kun, are you okay? How could you do this to a legal citizen who cooperated with the investigation? Lawyer Kumimon, I'm going to sue them." Sugawara Yoshiyo said.
Looking at the scene before him and the idiot detective who couldn't even wipe his own ass, Gu Meimon felt as if he could hear the sound of a new car entering the garage: "Of course.
On behalf of my client, Chanyuan Shener, I will file a lawsuit against the police station and the police officers involved in the case for their illegal operation of turning off the camera during the investigation and forcing confessions during the interrogation.
"Please sign the bail form. We will immediately take Mr. Zenin to a nearby hospital for a medical examination. Please be prepared to receive a lawyer's letter as the legal process begins," said Attorney Gu Meimen.
Although Zenyuan Shen'er didn't quite understand what he heard, he could realize that this strange lawyer with a 3:7 hairstyle was a very difficult guy.
The person was brought back by a detective from the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but due to the problem of the area where the case was located, it was reported at the local Haido Police Station.
"After investigation, it was found that the murder of Terai Sanjing had nothing to do with Mr. Zenin." said the police chief with a crew cut.
"With all due respect, if this is the extent of it, then a more sincere apology should be saved for the court and confessed in front of the judge and jury," said Gu Meimen.
Chanyuan Shen'er was sitting on a plastic chair. The wound on his face had been treated and covered with intimidating gauze and medical dressings. The injury report issued by the forensic doctor was placed next to him.
Chanyuan Shener had thought of many solutions to this problem, but the one before him was beyond his imagination.
The sheriff with the crew cut looked embarrassed, but he finally bent down and bowed solemnly at a 90-degree angle. "As a good citizen, you have cooperated with our work but have been treated unfairly. I will report this to the Internal Investigation Department and have the two people involved punished and investigated.
I would like to once again sincerely apologize to you, Mr. Chanyuan, for wasting your time."
Zenyuan Shen'er lowered his eyes and looked at the man who had not stood up yet with his head exposed, and felt that the anger in his chest had finally disappeared for the most part.
This feeling of being treated with respect was something I was not used to, and I even wanted to despise myself in my heart when I came to the Zen temple.
He looked at the woman standing beside him with a cold face. The woman who came from nowhere had red eyes. It was not known whether it was because of staying up late or because she was too emotional just now.
"Mr. Zenin, what do you want to choose?" asked Gu Meimen.
"I can accept the settlement, but the two police officers who beat me must be suspended and pay me medical expenses, mental damages and settlement money.
After all, it would be bad if other good citizens encountered the same situation as me." Zenyuan Shen'er said.
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was a torture for Chanyuan Shener. After leaving the hospital, he immediately took off the gauze and bandage on his face.
Sure enough, the swelling on the wound completely subsided just as he imagined.
"Jia Shisang, have you had breakfast?" asked Zenyuan Shener. He observed that the other party should have come here directly from work.
"Not yet. I rushed here directly after finishing the work." Sugawara Yoshiyo shook her head. Just now, Kumemon was too strong in fighting. In the end, the lawyer took half of the settlement money and left.
"Then let's go have lunch together. I just heard from the doctor that there is a great restaurant nearby." Zenyuan Shener said.
Sugawara Yoshiyo followed Zenin Shinji towards the so-called delicious restaurant. As she looked at the increasingly familiar scenery, her expression became a little strange.
"Ah, here we are! This is the Mika Iroha Sushi Restaurant." Zenin Jiner stopped in front of a sushi restaurant. "At a time like this, eel rice is the best way to replenish your energy."
After deducting the lawyer's fees, there was still a settlement amount left, so Zenyuan Shener decided to treat Jiashi to a super high-end sushi meal.
Sugawara Yoshiyo nodded. After staying up all night, she really needed to eat something good to replenish her energy.
When the two arrived, it was already past dinner time, and there were only a few tables of customers in the sushi restaurant on the commercial street.
Zenyuan Shener raised his eyebrows at one of the tables. The mustachioed man with poor reasoning was also there.
Seeing her husband's sudden strange expression, Kisaki Eri pushed up her glasses and said, "Kogoro, what happened?"
"No, I saw a suspect who was arrested today." said Kogoro Mouri.
"What would you like to order, sir?" asked the waiter.
"The highest-grade sushi set meal is for four people, with two servings of mixed tempura and two servings of Grade A eel rice," said Sugawara Yoshiyo. These were just enough for the appetites of the two of them.
The guy who took the order seemed surprised by how much they ate. He looked surprised for a few seconds before he said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
The nigiri sushi arrived the fastest, and after finishing most of the sushi, the two people who were full finally started talking again.
"I learned about Mr. Terai from the police. The case will probably take a long time to investigate. Will it affect Shinji's work?" asked Yoshiyo Sugawara.
For some reason, the fried tempura was the second dish served.
But this kind of fried food is really appetizing. Even though she had a belly full of carbohydrates, Sugawara Yoshiyo felt that she could eat another pound.
Zenyuan Shener remembered what he heard during the investigation and realized that the text message was sent on a scheduled basis.
The kind assistant supervisor probably felt embarrassed to talk to him, so he sent this text message at a time when he might be awake.
Zen Yuan Shener knew that his appearance there was just a coincidence.
However, it is really ironic that a person who worked so hard to help the sorcerer exorcise the cursed spirit ended up dying at the hands of the sorcerer.
"As for work, it may have to be suspended." Chanyuan Shener said.
"Jinji-kun's physical skills are very powerful and can kill that kind of monster. Even if the work doesn't go smoothly for the time being, you will definitely find another way out." Sugawara Yoshiyo said.
Zenin Shin'er paused and couldn't help but sigh, "That fellow Terai also said something like that."
The phone rang and Sugawara Yoshiyo stood up: "I need to go to the bathroom."
To get to the restroom at the Beika Iroha Sushi Restaurant, you have to pass through the two rows of tables on the left and right and around the empty sushi making table. The kitchen is on the right side of the corridor and the restroom is on the left. At the end of the corridor is the storage area and a back door.
The aroma of grilled eel was already wafting from the kitchen. Sugawara Yoshiyo glanced in the direction of the kitchen and finally walked into the bathroom.
The phone is ringing, it's something about work.
Shimura: "The souls of four children have not arrived at the death station on time. If they delay any longer, they will not have the chance to attain Buddhahood."
According to the normal procedure, the deceased can complete the application procedures for becoming a Buddha at the Death Office within 49 days from the date of death, and then he or she can go to the afterlife.
If you miss the final deadline, you will have to wander forever on the chaotic road to the underworld. This ending is more miserable than going to the eighteen levels of hell.
Attached were business reports related to the four children and several death certificates. Sugawara Yoshiyo had seen many of these things.
Page one, page two.
When she turned to the last page, Sugawara Yoshiyo realized what the problem was. The four children in the file lived in the same area, and their suicide locations and methods were exactly the same.
The equipment in the Death Service can only detect and observe a limited number of things, and the causes and effects it can see are also limited. There are many dangers hidden in the strangeness of the world.
Evil spirits, monsters, monsters, curses, etc. are all beyond the reach of the Death Office's equipment, and the reasons why souls remain in the world vary.
Some, with unfulfilled wishes, became earthbound spirits, unable to leave. Some resorted to all sorts of heinous means to escape death. Others had their souls destroyed and imprisoned...
The souls of those who died in supernatural events often stay in the human world for various reasons. As the number of such souls continued to increase, the Death Office finally chose to hire Yoshiyo Sugawara as a substitute god of death.
There are still 7 days left before the children finally become Buddhas. Sugawara Yoshiyo took a deep breath and knew that she would have to work overtime again.
Sugawara Yoshiyo thought of Zenin Jiner, who might be the target of the forehead sutures, and an idea came to his mind.
With the sound of the toilet flushing, Sugawara Yoshiyo walked out of the bathroom.
The food on the table was all there except the eel rice. Sugawara Yoshiyo ate her udon noodles and looked at the man in front of her: "Shinji-kun, I have something I want to do-"
"Ahhhhhh! Someone's dead!" A man's voice came from the bathroom, attracting everyone's attention and interrupting Sugawara Yoshiyo's words.
