Spider Mattress

This guy got 13 years for killing someone with a gun.From this point of view, this case should be caused by the firefight between the Kano group and the Qiliu group, but this is only speculation. "

Seeing the man lying on the floor like fragments of tissue, Sakoda twitched his lips.

"Even if the murderer is caught, a wonderful script will be made up here, and the judgment is based on this."

Kamiya's indifferent eyes swept across the criminal policeman who was as bad as a gangster.

"Whether the verdict is fabricated or not is not our job."

"Okay, okay, really, it's really hard for you to serve this young master who is obsessed with cleanliness every time!"

Sakoda patted Kiuchi on the shoulder sympathetically.

After personally understanding the situation at the scene, Kamiya and the others were sent out of the main entrance of the building by uniformed police.Passing through the hustle and bustle of news media reporters, he quickly walked to the car waiting on the side of the road.

Suddenly, Kamiya felt a sense of oppression in his chest, which was suffocating.Then a big hand began to rub his chest teasingly.

"You're lucky you didn't have the murder weapon with you."

A slightly hoarse bass sounded in the ear, this voice is...

Kamiya looked up at the man standing next to him.

A firm jaw and sharp facial lines.A tawny iris, a scar under the left eye.A long black coat over a dark gray suit.

It's Kusumi Takumo.

After thinking about it after being shocked, it is not inconceivable for Jiuyu to appear here.

The killing of the cadres of the Ghana group this time has a lot to do with the hostile Qiliu group, and Jiuyu is a member of the Qiliu group.

"Are you the prosecutor in charge of the Asakura case?"

"Ah, yes."

"It seems that he is doubting An Bang on our side."

His information is so fast, I am afraid that there are insiders in the police.

Not getting the desired answer, Kusumi stretched out his arms to wrap around Kamiya's shoulder and walked back.Kamiya looked at Kiuchi who looked worried, and responded to him with a "it's okay" gaze.

"No matter how much friendship I have with you in the past, I will not disclose information to you."

"That's right. But, An Bang is my uncle's subordinate. Isn't there no loss for you to inquire about information from me?"

"..."

Although he didn't want to have anything to do with the gang, he didn't want to let go of this opportunity to get information easily.

"That white car belongs to the prosecutor's office. You can sit in the back seat."

Kamiya quickened his pace, while shaking off the man's strong arm, he whispered to him.

The headquarters building of Sakurazawa Financial Corporation in Azabu.

Kamiya and Kiuchi sat side by side in the reception seat by the window in the vice president's office.The modest leather sofa is of high quality and feels very comfortable.There are several pots of green ornamental plants in the room, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to enjoy the scenery of the city. It is very spectacular to look down from the 21st floor, because the window is facing the direction of Roppongi, and it must be a gorgeous night view full of splendor at night.

"I don't think An Bang did it."

Sitting on the opposite sofa smoking a cigarette, Hissumi said so.

"An Bang served a long sentence in the past, which is indeed an appropriate reason. The Ghana group sent killers to the leader of the Qiliu group, causing serious injuries. Therefore, as the most trusted subordinate of the group leader, my uncle Sakurazawa Zonghei couldn't swallow this breath, so he Decided to take revenge. At that time, the only person who could make up his mind to never return was my uncle's subordinate An Bang."

An Bang, who was 32 years old at the time, served 13 years in prison for shooting and killing the Ghanaian group cadre who sent the killer.

"It has been a year since he was released from prison. Whether it is the leader of the Qiliu group or my uncle, they want to comfort him after serving a long sentence, so they let him take up an important position in the organization. An Bang is also very happy to receive such an honor. An Bang like this has no reason to shoot Asakura."

"...However, I heard that the Kano group and the Kiyanagi group have been at odds since then. Where and what kind of conflict happened, even you can't understand, can you?"

"An Bang is not the kind of person who acts at will based on personal judgment."

"In any case, he is an important insider. If you know where he is, please notify the police immediately."

Hisasumi crushed the cigarette at the bottom of the ashtray with a bitter expression on his face.

"People from our side have already dispatched to find An Bang."

Kiuchi on the opposite side asked in a slightly sharp tone.

"I don't know where to go, maybe it's hiding in the dark."

"We also believe that An Bang is not a criminal and we are looking for him."

Hissumi's nose wrinkled like a wild dog.

Kamiya announced with a calm voice as if telling him.

"As a prosecutor, I will eliminate all preconceived notions to investigate the case, and I will not accept the police's investigation report in its entirety. I will pursue the truth to the end."

"—It really hasn't changed at all, you bastard."

With a wry smile, Jiusumi took out the business card from the inner pocket, wrote a string of numbers on it with a ballpoint pen, and handed it to Kamiya.

"Anyway, the one I gave you before has already been thrown away. It's my private mobile phone number, you can call me anytime."

Kamiya also gave Jiusumi his business card today.When handing it over, it lightly touched Hissumi's fingertips.That dry warm skin touch.As before, this man's body temperature always seemed to be higher than normal.

The lines of Kusumi, who thought there would be no more frontal intersections, are now closely intersecting.

"It doesn't look like there has been a confrontation with the police yet."

On the way to the Tokyo Prefectural Police Headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kiuchi said while holding the steering wheel.

Inadvertently, I thought of Sakoda's words, "Okay, okay, really, it's really hard for you to serve this clean freak every time!" Kamiya looked at Kiuchi's side face.

"By adopting such a difficult way of doing things, I have been causing trouble for Mr. Kiuchi..."

"Prosecutor Kamiya has the most basic doubts about the information reported by the police. It is indeed a very time-consuming and difficult way of working."

There is no need to feel sorry for being said so bluntly.Kiuchi has always accepted the work with a relaxed mood, so he should not be involved in his overly nervous pace.

"Anyway, it's just like usual, as long as it's until Saturday, you don't have to see me."

"What nonsense are you talking seriously!"

Kiuchi suddenly turned to Kamiya, looking at him with bright eyes.

"I just like the way prosecutor Kamiya works."

"..."

"When I was working with you, I also had some self-reflection. As a prosecutor, whether to pass a sentence is related to the future life of the suspect. From my side, it may just be a pile of work. But for the suspect, it is a major event that will make a 180-degree turn in his life. Every case must be carefully analyzed and investigated without allowing mistakes—if even such a reasonable thing is forgotten , it’s just working mechanically.”

Kiuchi paid attention to the surrounding situation and flexibly changed lanes to continue driving forward. Kamiya looked intently at the side face of Kiuchi who was driving seriously.

"Prosecutor Kamiya is like this no matter what he does, even if he doesn't rest 365 hours a day, he never cares—but..."

A smile formed on the corner of Kiuchi's mouth.

"If you still want to work for the rest of your life, you can't work tirelessly like this. It makes me worry all day whether you will collapse from overwork."

Kamiya's gaze left the man in the driver's seat and turned to the wide Kando Street on the left.

…With Kiuchi by his side, he would feel the pressure on his chest caused by his generous and steady heart.

But, that's all.

No matter where the source of the oppressive feeling is, it can no longer go on like this.

As a suspect in the killing of Ghana Group cadres, Akizo Yasuhama, a member of the regional large-scale violent organization Kiyanagi Group, was repatriated by the police for prosecution.

People from the Qiliu group also stated An Bang's innocence to the police, but they could not provide an alibi. The guns used as the murder weapon—XTP bullets—were also found in his residence. Man, he must be prosecuted.

When meeting An Bang for the first time in the prosecutor's office, Kamiya somewhat understood why Kusumi believed that this man was innocent.

An Bang is very small, with gray hair, giving the impression of being dull and taciturn.It's like a useless decoration, with some unnecessary kindness, and it doesn't look like a member of a violent gang.I feel that if this man does not have a certain belief, he will not act.But that kind of belief does not come from individuals, but is closely related to the righteousness of the organization.

However, this is only a subjective judgment.No matter how much subjective emotion there is, it is imperative to find out where the truth lies objectively.

The desks of the clerk and the prosecutor were arranged in an L shape, and An Bang was sitting on the chair opposite the long prosecutor's desk.Kamiya is recording the defense, while Kiuchi is taking notes.

According to the statement, An Bang was sleeping in his apartment at 11 a.m. on November 16 when the victim was killed.The night before, I took the woman I met in the restaurant back to my home, but I can't remember anything after that. When I woke up in the morning, the gun that was used as the murder weapon was lying next to my pillow.I don't remember killing anyone at all.

An Bang insists that he is innocent, but the only one who can prove his absence is the woman he met that night, but there is no clue about this person.

There is also a gun as physical evidence, and the situation is quite unfavorable for An Bang.

On the same day, Kamiya entrusted Kiuchi with the task of searching for the women who were with An Bang on the night of the incident——
