Chapter 143 The Pinnacle of Police Novels
When he saw Nanami reappear, Kiyoshi Kasai's eyes lit up with excitement!
Because although Maijo Kyosuke did not specify who the detective in the story is.
However, the detective role in "The Third Statute" is undoubtedly that of the "cold-blooded" class monitor, Nanami!
Upon seeing the reappearance of Squad Leader Nanami, Kiyoshi Kasai naturally assumed that the story of "The Third Time Limit" was about to reach its climax!
What is the "third statute of limitations"?
What new clues has Nan Jian found?
Where is Takeuchi Toshiharu now? Will he be arrested, or will he escape?
Everything will come to a close at this moment!
"Why?!?"
Xiang Nan saw that the person who asked the question was Xue Hui: "Hasn't the statute of limitations already expired? Why is it still—"
Nan saw those two dull, dark eyes staring at Xuehui: "The criminal has already been charged!"
Mori Takahiro was taken aback by what Nanami said.
Has Toshiharu Takeuchi been indicted?
Yukie asked, puzzled, "I don't understand what you mean. Sue? What exactly is going on?"
"You guys—haven't caught 'Little Girl' yet?"
Nan Jian snorted: "You can prosecute without arresting them!"
"The first public trial will be held in six days; as long as the criminal is arrested within six days, it's fine!"
Mori Takahiro let out a soft "Ah".
He then realized Nanjian's conspiracy!
Nanami wants to skip the arrest procedures and directly indict Takeuchi Toshiki!
This is what is known as the "third statute of limitations"!
Legally, the statute of limitations refers to the "statute of limitations for prosecution," which means that as long as the police bring Takeuchi Toshiharu to court on the day of the public trial, the trial is over.
Arrest is not required to file a lawsuit in court!
In other words, Nanmi's actions were tantamount to acting first and informing later!
This is a highly difficult operation, no, it should be described as an extremely difficult operation!
Because although it sounds reasonable, prosecuting a criminal suspect whose whereabouts are unknown is simply too risky!
This requires persuading the prosecutor first, and even if the prosecutor agrees, the judge in the court cannot simply accept Nanami's unreasonable request!
Because this is an unprecedented "lockdown period"!
This is practically gambling with one's career!
No prosecutor or judge would gamble with Nanami!
Thinking about all this, Mori Takahiro seemed to recall the previous action where Nanami asked him to investigate the judge.
That must be it! That must be it!
This guy threatened the judges! This "cold-blooded" guy exploited the judges' weaknesses!
Mori Takahiro felt a caterpillar crawling up his spine.
He was even more certain that once Nanami set her sights on him, Takeuchi Toshiharu would never escape!
Even though Takeuchi Toshiharu knew about the legal provisions for interruption of the statute of limitations, he did not contact Yukie during the "first statute of limitations" or the "second statute of limitations".
But—this guy would never have imagined there would be a "third time limit"!
The "second statute of limitations" has been established, but the "third statute of limitations" has been successfully extended!
If Takeuchi Toshiharu takes any action within the next six days, he's doomed!
The moment the phone rings, it's the end for Takeuchi Toshiharu!
All the detectives froze upon hearing Nan's words.
Yukie couldn't accept the reality before her and looked anxiously at all the detectives in the room, as if she was about to cry.
Miyajima whispered in Mori Takahiro's ear, "Damn it, I can't stand it anymore—"
Just then, the phone on the table rang.
Yuki was startled and straightened up.
Nan lit a cigarette and gave Yuki the order: "Answer the phone!"
Yuki reached out her stiff hand and picked up the phone.
Mori Takahiro and Miyajima each listened through a headset on one side of the phone. A man's anxious voice came from the other end: "Hello, Yukie, it's me, Takeuchi."
"Hang up the phone right now!" Yukie suddenly yelled!
Takeuchi: "Why?"
Yukie cried out, "The police are in my house!"
Takeuchi: "Huh? No way? The expiration date has already passed—"
Yukie yelled, "Don't you dare call again!"
After Xuehui finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
But her true feelings had already been revealed; it was indeed the case.
Yukie definitely didn't want the police to arrest Takeuchi Toshiharu. He did it for Arisa's sake, and he wanted Takeuchi to escape!
That must be it!
Unfortunately, this was in vain, as the current "telephone detectors" are very advanced and can quickly pinpoint Takeuchi Toshiharu's location.
With earphones plugged in, Nanami stared intently at Yukie with her dull black eyes, broadcasting the situation over the radio: "Police cars have arrived and are beginning a search of the vicinity—"
Yukie's slumped shoulders were trembling.
"Found it————"
Yukie suddenly raised her head.
"The police are making an arrest—"
Nanami shut down all communication channels with everyone except for one, which led to Yukie.
"Surround him—"
Nanami is observing the snow painting.
No! This is clearly torturing her!
Cold-blooded —
Upon hearing this word, Mori Takahiro clenched his fists, and anger surged up from the bottom of his chest!
Nan Jian is still "live streaming".
"There was no resistance—he wouldn't resist because he believed the statute of limitations had been reached."
Yuki began to sob.
"Hmm? He's trying to run away again? Maybe he thinks it's strange to arrest him now?"
"Enough!" Mori Takahiro growled in a low voice.
Nan Jian's expression remained unchanged as he continued his "live report".
"He rammed a policeman aside—idiot, he's just trying to frame himself."
"Please stop talking, okay?" Mori Takahiro couldn't help himself again.
"Gotcha."
"Class President Kusami!" Mori Takahiro shouted.
He cried.
"Are you ever going to stop?!" Mori Takahiro stood up.
"Trying to escape again, he got a beating from the police."
"Stop hitting him!" This time, it was Yukie who shouted loudly: "Stop hitting him! You little brat—Takeuchi-kun—he didn't do anything, please let him go!"
Everyone present was stunned by what Yuki said!
Because this—this is the prelude to someone confessing!
Sobbing uncontrollably, Yuki said, "I'm sorry—I killed my husband—"
"I killed my husband—and that young woman took my place and fled for fifteen years—"
Upon hearing Yukie's words, Mori Takahiro collapsed to the ground, completely drained of energy.
Yuki is the real culprit.
Looking back on the past few days, why did Xuehui breathe a sigh of relief after the "first statute of limitations" was established?
When the "second statute of limitations" was established, Yuki didn't react much.
Because Yuki had never been abroad, by the time the "first statute of limitations" was established, Yuki, as the murderer, had already escaped legal punishment!
Mori Takahiro looked at Yukie with some resentment, because Yukie was not "confessing" at this moment, but "expressing her feelings"!
This woman has already stepped into a safe zone beyond the reach of the law.
She fooled all the detectives present!
Kusami looked at Mori Takahiro, her eyes seeming to speak volumes:
Look! That's what women are like!
He then gave Yuki the order: "Speak!"
Yukie, who had collapsed to the ground crying, began to say, "—I've been close to Xiaonizi since we were little. I like him because he listens to everything I say. We even dated in high school—"
Mori Takahiro listened in a daze.
Yukie had two abortions, both of whom were Takeuchi's children.
After the abortion, the two became estranged and broke up.
After Yukie got married, she happened to meet Takeuchi and wanted to rekindle their old romance.
The indecent videotape was deliberately placed in the VCR by Yukie, and Takeuchi, as expected, couldn't resist the temptation and started an affair with Yukie.
Unfortunately, Yukie's husband suddenly came home and got into a fight with Takeuchi.
Seeing Takeuchi nearly beaten to death by her husband with a baseball bat, Yukie stabbed him in the heart from behind with a fruit knife.
Faced with the corpse, Yukie and Takeuchi felt they had nowhere to turn.
Takeuchi decides to take the blame because Yukie had aborted his two children, and he feels sorry for her. Moreover, Yukie stabbed her husband to death to save him.
So Yukie said to Takeuchi, "Then run away and come back when the statute of limitations expires."
Yukie didn't want to go to prison, nor did she want Takeuchi to go to prison. In the end, Takeuchi abandoned his parents and family business, and began a 15-year life on the run, burdened with the crime of murder.
After Yuki finished speaking, Nan took out a recorder from his pocket. The recorder's red light was on, indicating that what had just been said had been recorded.
Nan, with her fingers interlaced, pressed on, "Do you hate your husband?"
Yukie shook her head: "It's not so much hatred as it is a lack of affection. He never treated me like a woman, but rather like an object to be used."
Upon hearing Xuehui's words, Nanjian's eyes flashed with a rare hint of bewilderment.
But only for a moment, and then he turned off the recorder, staring at Yukie and said, "It's not Takeuchi Toshiharu who's being prosecuted."
"what?"
Nan Jian maintained her expressionless face: "The criminal has been prosecuted, didn't I just say that?"
Fear contorted Yukie's face.
The legal proceedings against you were completed before the "first statute of limitations" expired, and you have already been charged with murder.
'
Nan's words sent shivers down the spines of the entire room!
People couldn't find the right words to describe their astonishment!
Nan realized that this devilish scheming was beyond everyone's imagination.
Mori Takahiro felt like he was dreaming, but this was real.
Nanjian had his eye on Yuki from the very beginning, and everything he planned was aimed at winning her over.
However, in this case, there is a wanted criminal named Toshiharu Takeuchi.
As long as Takeuchi Toshiharu is still on the run, no matter what happens, Yukie can pin the blame on Takeuchi!
"Not here" and "The dead can't talk" are the same thing.
Therefore, instead of launching an attack on Yuki, Nanami meticulously planned and used the "third time limit" to lay a series of traps on Yuki!
So—the real purpose of coercing the judge.
Mori Takahiro belatedly realized the terrifying thing.
Nanami did not coerce the judge into directly indicting Takeuchi Toshiharu upon his arrest.
Instead, after finding the judge's weakness, Nanami coerced the judge to delay the time for handing over the indictment to Yukie.
"That cold-blooded devil—"
Miyajima muttered under his breath!
Although Mori Takahiro agreed with Miyajima's statement, the feeling of defeat still welled up in his heart.
Mori Takahiro had no sympathy for Yukie; in fact, one could say he hated Yukie, who had deceived him, even more than Kusami did!
But Arisa will lose not only her father, but also her mother.
Mori Takahiro glanced at Arisa's room, praying that Arisa's large earlobes, etched with the adults' love and hate, would disappear overnight!
Five days later, Mori Takahiro arrived at Akiko's apartment, intending to propose to her.
I disagree with Nan's statement, "She's figuring out who to sell herself to."
Because Mori Takahiro considered this to be a matter of course.
Everyone wants to be happy; that's only natural.
Everyone has the right to choose, and that's only natural.
Akiko is free to choose whomever she wants, but I, Mori Takahiro, cannot lose to other men. I will arrange a better place for her to live, give her as much money as I can, and give her as much tenderness as I can.
"It's not so much hatred as a question of affection, but rather a complete lack of feeling. He never treated me like a woman; he only used me as an object."
When Mori Takahiro recalled the look of bewilderment in Nanami's eyes when Yukie said those words, it was clear that Nanami had not understood Yukie's words, nor had she realized that this was Yukie's true motive for killing her husband.
Similarly, Mori Takahiro also figured out why Kusumi would target Yukie.
Because of the leak three years ago, everyone suspects that Nan Jian was the one who leaked the information.
However, Nanjian astutely discovered the "blind spot".
Years of life on the run had left Takeuchi Toshiharu exhausted, so he called Yukie.
As a result, Yukie became frightened. If Takeuchi came to her side, she might be caught. Yukie was worried that Takeuchi would expose her, so she called the police and newspaper reporters to make the matter public.
Because in that case, Takeuchi would definitely not come to his side.
Nan Jian was neither a devil nor did he possess any sorcery.
Next time, I, Mori Takahiro, will definitely show Nanami what I'm capable of!
Takahiro Mori saw Akiko's son, Koichi, come to his side.
Takahiro Mori hugged Koichi and grabbed his earlobe: "Koichi, would you like to have an older sister who's still in school?"
"I want it! I want it!"
Mori Takahiro thought to himself about the words he would use to propose to Akiko.
Let's take it slow. Whether we make do or bump along the way, let's build a harmonious and happy family little by little.
After finishing reading "The Third Statute of Limitations," Gonda Manji closed the book and sighed deeply.
He glanced at Maijo Kyosuke sitting on the other side of the table, his face showing undisguised admiration.
But no matter how many times he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word.
Clearly, the impact of "The Third Time Limit" on him was truly remarkable!
Manji Gonda really couldn't think of any words to praise this police novel!
As expected, only Maijo Kyosuke could defeat him.
Following the most powerful trick in "The Tokyo Zodiac Murders", Kyosuke Maijo's story continues.
Another one has been delivered: the greatest short police mystery novel in history, bar none!
