"No, no, no, it's just that this time the situation is slightly different!"
How could I possibly run right up to the murderer like this every time?
They are still different.
This time, the new forensic autopsy report hadn't been released yet, but they directly notified the police.
I just came over to hold Shishido Riichi down for now.
In fact, many things afterward still need to be handled by the police.
"It's getting late, I'll be going now."
Aki Tomoya checked the time; he had class tomorrow, and it was already past 10 p.m.
However, Takagi looked at him with a bored expression: "How about some more nighttime activities?"
He didn't seem to want the night to end so soon and was considering some other nighttime activities.
However, Aki Tomoya didn't want to continue his revelry.
So he joked, "If you want to have some fun, then let Kube-kun accompany you. I'll be going now!"
After finishing speaking, Aki Tomoya left without looking back.
After leaving Takagi and Kube Rokuro behind, Takagi took a special look at Kube Rokuro.
Takagi wouldn't mind that she had only recently met Rokuro Kube.
However, it was clear that Kube Rokuro had no intention of going out and having fun.
In the end, this idea had to be abandoned, and everyone had to go home.
……
Fumito Takase was arrested because, during his arrest, a search of his home revealed the belongings of numerous female victims, as well as that of Megumi Osaki, who was nearly murdered.
So even if this person later wanted to change their story, they would be unable to defend themselves.
On the rooftop of Riichi Shishido's apartment building, Mori Tadashi led his team to find the toy ball engraved with a goldfish.
Riichi Shishido placed the toy ball in a bottle containing sulfuric acid; if the bottle were turned upside down, the evidence would be destroyed.
Finally, this evidence was transferred to UDI for authentication.
Furthermore, at Shishido Risa's house, they also found his first draft, which was about the thickness of a book.
It is a description of the entire serial murder case.
If things go as smoothly as Shishido Riichi expects, this book should be released when Takase Fumito successfully collects the entire alphabet.
Unfortunately, things far exceeded his expectations.
Before the alphabet was completed, Fumito Takase was found by the police, and he was also suspected of being involved.
Shishido Riichi is now in a very dangerous situation.
Not only did he fail to report the fact, his initial draft made him appear more like an accomplice.
No media outlets have reported on this serial murder case yet; it's likely that the police will reach a conclusion before announcing it to the outside world.
"The evidence of the crime, the contradictory confessions, the belongings of the female victims, plus Shishido Riichi's confession, should leave no problem."
Fumito Takase later tried to change his mind, and after calming down, he realized he was quite clever.
However, even with evidence, there are too many contradictions.
In addition, Shishido Riichi's situation was also dangerous, so he had no choice but to cooperate with the police.
The alliance between him and Riichi Shishido seemed strong, but it was actually very fragile.
If anyone is to blame, it's this person who decided to burn all the evidence only after all the letters were collected.
This confidence, or rather arrogance, will ultimately have to be paid for by Fumito Takase himself.
"Dr. Nakado, we've caught the murderer for you. What's the reward?"
On the afternoon of the third day after Takase Fumito's arrest, Aki Tomoya arrived at UDI and asked Nakado Kei a question.
The case being solved and the murderer being caught should have been an exciting thing.
However, Nakado's expression was somewhat conflicted.
If possible, he still hoped they could hand the murderer over to him.
At this moment, Aki Tomoya's words left Nakado speechless.
The murderer has been arrested, and the mastermind behind the serial killer has finally been caught. Should he thank Aki Tomoya and the others, or should he be angry because they did not hand the murderer over to him?
To be honest, Nakado wasn't really angry, just conflicted.
He should have realized it the moment Aki Tomoya and Misumi Mikoto discovered that the cause of death of the deceased Tachibana Serina was questionable.
In the end, the police and Aki Tomoya handled everything.
"...Just tell me what you want."
Zhongtang replied with a helpless expression.
The murderer is already in the police's hands; there's no point in him thinking about it anymore.
Moreover, logically speaking, he should indeed thank Aki Tomoya and the others.
After all these years, the murderer has finally been caught.
"Let me think about it... Dr. Nakado, you're not allowed to call me a bastard anymore, okay?"
"what?!"
What kind of requirement is this?
Someone in the office chuckled.
Meanwhile, Makoto Sakamoto looked at Tomoya Aki with some surprise.
"Dr. Nakado, surely you can't do something this simple?"
Aki Tomoya asked again.
If we don't call him a bastard or speak ill of him, it shouldn't make him feel as bad as if he were dead.
No one expected him to make this request.
This request didn't seem to be made for himself, but rather for his classmate Makoto Sakamoto.
Aki Tomoya did this as a way of repaying Sakamoto Makoto.
Moreover, he didn't have anything to ask the Nakado faction for.
Aki Tomoya didn't feel that he deserved any great credit for solving the case.
The only fortunate thing is that Nakado didn't end up like Suzuki, living the rest of his life in regret.
He simply sent a devil to prison, instead of standing by and letting a good person go in.
"..."
Nakado hesitated for a moment, then gave Aki Tomoya a deep look.
He finally nodded.
The person most pleased by Nakado's nod was not Aki Tomoya, but Sakamoto Makoto.
Not having to hear "bastard" from Nakado Kei anymore was a lifesaver for him. Thinking of this, Sakamoto Makoto looked at Aki Tomoya gratefully.
"Aki-kun, didn't you say you wouldn't leave until next year? Are you leaving now?!"
Suddenly, a question from Rokuro Kube next to him made Tomoya Aki freeze in surprise.
What is he talking about?
At the same time, it seemed that others had also heard what Kube Rokuro said, and they were all looking at Aki Tomoya with surprise.
Chapter 364 Don't Listen to His Nonsense (4/5)
Aki Tomoya's comment just now, hoping that Nakado would stop using terms like "bastard" in the future, helped Sakamoto Makoto resolve one of his deepest concerns.
To Rokuro Kube, who was standing nearby, it sounded like a bad omen.
To him, these words sounded like Aki Tomoya's last wish before he left.
Kube Rokuro, who was simply overthinking things, was very nervous at this moment.
I heard Aki Tomoya say before that he would stay until the end of this year, but it seems that things are not as agreed, and it seems that he will leave soon.
"Aki-kun, are you leaving?"
"No way, why did you just leave like that?"
"Aki-kun, you should take back what you said earlier!"
Mikoto Misumi, Yuko Tokai, and Makoto Sakamoto all stared at him in astonishment.
This was the first time they had heard that Aki Tomoya had already decided to leave UDI.
I had only mentioned this matter to Kube Rokuro and the director before.
