Chapter 202: Chapter 196: One Case Leads to Another, The Adulterous Couple Stirs Up Trouble

Police Headquarters interrogation room, the lights were as bright as daylight.

"Kid, stop resisting," Yoshikai warned coldly, tapping his fingers on the table while looking at Yamamoto Hiko, whose face was filled with anger and resentment. "If Police Chief Aoyama dared to break your hand in front of your father, it means your dad not only can’t protect you but can’t even protect himself. Use your head and think about it."

Yamamoto Hiko’s face suddenly stiffened.

Indeed, why had Aoyama Xiu Xin dared to do that to him? Didn’t it mean that he wasn’t afraid of his dad at all?

Moreover, there was Hashimoto Miho, that bitch, who was blatantly lying on behalf of Aoyama Xiu Xin. Her husband was the deputy chief justice of the Supreme Court. If she vented to him, his own father might really be unable to save himself.

Could his father still save him, then?

Once he came to grips with these issues, he suddenly couldn’t maintain his composure and began to panic. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and he turned as pale as paper.

"Also, don’t think that if you don’t talk, we can’t find out," Yoshikai Yoshitsune said, seeing signs of psychological defense weakening in him and pressing further with a cold snort. "Do you think the victim’s family will stay silent like you if you don’t speak?"

Yamamoto Hiko raised his head, his lips quivering. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I... I didn’t actually intend to force myself on her at first, someone pressured me into it."

"Continue," Yoshikai Youzai beckoned with an expression that said, "Take your time, let’s see if I believe you." He had heard all too many excuses from criminals trying to absolve themselves.

But as long as they were willing to talk, that was all that mattered.

"It’s true!" Yamamoto Hiko, seeing that the other party clearly didn’t believe him, became frantic and panicked as he struggled to get up but couldn’t, crying out, "At first, I just wanted to tease her. With my status, I’m not short of women, why would I need to rape her?"

"Yes, so why did you feel the need to rape the victim?" Yoshikai Youzai countered.

He still didn’t believe Yamamoto Hiko’s words.

After all, according to his experience with cases, many rich and powerful individuals became more and more perverted because it was too easy for them to get women with money and power. They sought thrills through drugs, coercion, and the like.

Yamamoto Hiko swallowed and breathed with a slight rush, "I said it! Someone pressured me, and that girl didn’t know what’s good for her. If I hadn’t gone through with it at the time, would I still have any face in our circle afterward?"

Yoshikai Youzai frowned and disgust flashed in his eyes as he said coldly, "So you raped an innocent female student just for your own dignity? And there are multiple people aware of it?"

Now he was somewhat convinced by the other party’s words.

Such scoundrels had no real capabilities and no dignity to speak of, but they valued their face too much.

They could do anything just for the sake of saving face.

Ultimately, they didn’t see ordinary people’s children as human at all; otherwise, why was it that in similar cases, the people they harmed were always ordinary folks and not those of their own class?

They knew the difference; it wasn’t that they didn’t understand.

They were simply bad.

"I..." Yamamoto Hiko stammered, pursed his lips, and cautiously asked, "Does this count as a voluntary surrender?"

"Slap!" Yoshikai Youzai raised his hand and viciously slapped him across the face, "I’m asking you questions now!"

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Yamamoto Hiko, who used to be intolerant of the slightest grievance, not only didn’t feel angry but actually became even more clear-headed.

If an ordinary cop could hit him without fearing his father’s retaliation, it meant his father really couldn’t cover for him this time; otherwise, the cop wouldn’t have dared to do it.

So he hurriedly spilled everything, hoping that a full confession could lead to a lighter sentence, "That night I was playing truth or dare in a bar with friends, and when I lost, they knew I was chasing Shanai. They dared me to get her to come out for a kiss. I initially refused, using the excuse that Shanai wouldn’t come out of school at night, but they told me to keep the line open and go to the school to find Shanai while they listened on the phone to see if I completed the dare."

"I was afraid to refuse again because it might seem as if I couldn’t take a joke. Plus, I was drunk and wanted to take the chance to confess to Shanai, so I drove to the school alone and lied to get Shanai to come out. After hanging up, I called my friends again, letting them listen in."

He paused here, looked up at Yoshikai Youzai cautiously before continuing, "After Shanai came down, I confessed to her, but she rejected me and told me not to bother her anymore. I felt humiliated but suggested that if she let me kiss her, I’d stop pursuing her."

Yamamoto Hiko’s face twisted slightly, "But unexpectedly, not only did she refuse, she also called me disgusting. My friends heard it over the phone and started teasing me. Shanai got angrier when she heard the voices over the phone and said even harsher things to me. My friends on the phone urged me to act like a man, saying otherwise I wouldn’t be fit to stay in the Xiongcheng Association and they’d kick me out of the team."

"Xiongcheng Association?" Yoshikai Youzai seized the critical point.

Yamamoto Hiko explained, "It’s a small group formed by people like us. We often hang out together, and it’s an honor for anyone at school to be part of the Xiongcheng Association."

"Continue," Yoshikai Youzai nodded.

Yamamoto Hiko hesitated, "I was already drunk at the time, and Shanai’s words stirred me up, plus my friends were teasing me, egging me on, so I dragged her into the nearby woods and... forced myself on her."

"I thought you were just bad, but I didn’t expect you to be stupid too," Yoshikai Youzai mocked without mercy.

Yamamoto Hiko’s face flushed, but he had nothing to say.

He had thought that with some money and his father’s status, along with threatening Shanai a bit, she would, like other girls before, for the sake of her studies and reputation, not dare make a fuss, and he could play with her whenever he wanted.

But he didn’t expect that despite being poor, Shanai and her family wouldn’t budge and insisted on calling the police.

"During the assault, the phone call wasn’t disconnected?" Yoshikai Youzai asked again.

Yamamoto Hiko silently nodded without saying a word.

Yoshikai Youzai was furious. A virtuous girl, who kept herself clean and was unmoved by money, was dragged into the woods by Yamamoto Hiko in the middle of the night and assaulted while also having to listen to a group of people jeering, cheering, and passing judgment over the phone.

This was a dual devastation for her, both physically and mentally.

After the incident, she chose not to commit suicide but instead told her family and insisted on contacting the police, showing incredible willpower.

"You really are a beast," Yoshikai Youzai bitterly cursed, then asked, "Had she already contacted the police before you went to Police Chief Aoyama?"

"No, I... My father had someone keep watch over their family, hoping to wait for Police Chief Aoyama to intervene and persuade them," Yamamoto Hiko replied in a low voice.

Yoshikai Youzai turned ashen, "Where?"

Yamamoto Hiko weakly gave an address.

"Go to hell," Yoshikai Youzai stood up and walked out.

Yamamoto Hiko hurriedly called out, "Does this count as me confessing voluntarily? Surrendering the facts of my crime?"

"Idiot! You think this counts, you goddamn"? Don’t even dream of getting out in this lifetime," Yoshikai Youzai retorted without looking back.

Yamamoto Hiko became more frantic, his forehead drenched with sweat, and he shouted desperately, "I want to report a crime! I want to make amends!"

Yoshikai Youzai stopped in his tracks.

"I know who was behind the Tokyo University female student family annihilation from two years ago," Yamamoto Hiko blurted out, looking at Yoshikai Youzai, his voice growing lower and lower.

Yoshikai Youzai suddenly rushed in front of him, pressed both hands on the table, "What did you say? Say it again!"

The "Tokyo University female student family murder" was a case from 1990, where a female medical student from Tokyo University had jumped to her death from her home, alarming the neighbors. When the police arrived at the scene and entered her home, they found the student’s parents and her five-year-old brother stabbed numerous times, their heads beaten beyond recognition, leaving the entire family of four dead.

Post-mortem examination revealed the female student had minor lacerations on her body, obviously having suffered violence, but the police could not find any trace of the murderer afterward.

The most puzzling aspect was that the female student chose to jump from the building instead of calling for help or alerting the police, suggesting she might not have been freed from the murderer’s control at that time. However, it was strange that when the police broke in, they found no trace of the murderer at the scene, not even a footprint or a fingerprint.

While the police were on their way, the neighbors who had been surrounding the scene didn’t notice any strangers leaving, which gave the case a touch of the supernatural.

Consequently, although the case remained unsolved, people still occasionally talked about it.

"I... I know who the murderer is, can I get a reduced sentence," Yamamoto Hiko said breathlessly.

Since even his own father couldn’t save himself.

He could only try to save himself.

............

The Takizawa family.

"Idiot! That bastard Yamamoto Eiko!"

Seeing the slap mark on his wife’s face, Takizawa Shikou was so furious that his hair nearly stood on end.

"Whimper, whimper, husband, even you’ve never been willing to hit me," Hashimoto Miho sobbed.

In reality, the slap on her face had been given by Aoyama Xiu Xin, who now was framing Yamamoto Eiko for it.

"Rest assured, I will definitely avenge you," Takizawa Shikou comforted his gentle wife and turned to Aoyama Xiu Xin to ask, "Mr. Aoyama, what exactly happened?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin spoke gravely, "Yamamoto Eiko has failed to discipline his son. His son assaulted a female classmate, and now the girl’s family is relentless and wants to contact the police. Yamamoto Eiko doesn’t want to make a fuss, so he reached out to Judge Hashimoto to meet with me, hoping that I could help suppress the matter."

"Although it was illegal, I was willing to give Judge Hashimoto face, but I didn’t expect Yamamoto Eiko’s son to be so arrogant and disrespectful to me, so I refused the request, citing that it was against the rules."

"Yamamoto Eiko’s son flew into a rage and verbally abused me, and Yamamoto Eiko sat by and did nothing. Judge Hashimoto couldn’t stand by and tried to intervene, but ended up being slapped twice in the face by Yamamoto Eiko’s son."

"Idiot!" Takizawa Shikou trembled with anger, unable to believe he’d been struck by a junior.

Aoyama Xiu Xin quickly said, "Seeing Judge Hashimoto humiliated, who I regard as a sister, I immediately stabbed the hand Yamamoto Eiko’s son used to hit with a chopstick, and called my subordinates to arrest him for his violent crime."

"Well done!" Takizawa Shikou blurted out upon hearing this, and said with a grim face, "The father is to blame for not educating his son. If even his son can’t be taught well, I see no reason for that bastard Yamamoto Eiko to remain a judge."

As he finished speaking, he turned to Hashimoto Miho, who was still tearfully sobbing, "I’m going to get revenge for you right now!"

"You’re so good to me, husband," Hashimoto Miho sniffled, her tears turning to laughter, her eyes filled with admiration and happiness.

Poor Takizawa Shikou picked up his coat and left immediately.
