The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 151: Shikano Osamu 2's Confession

"I went home and was anxious for the rest of the day."

"I kept waiting, waiting for the police to continue sending people to arrest me."

"But what I waited for was the news of your father's death."

"And, what followed was a city-wide search notice from the Metropolitan Police Department."

"It was only then that I realized that your father had not reported my name."

"Although I know I am safe for the time being, I am becoming more confused."

Shikano Shuji paused when he said this.

Miwako Sato also knew what he meant by being more confused.

After all, he was afraid of prison life in the first place, and now that he was sure that the police didn't know him, he was even less willing to surrender himself.

"Yes,"

Shikano Shuji continued, but his expression now seemed even more depressed.

"I was no longer willing to turn myself in."

"But Captain Sato's voice and smile have always been in my mind."

"Every night when I go to sleep, I dream of him with blood on his face, saying to me over and over again, 'Luye, turn yourself in! Luye, turn yourself in!'"

"One day, I couldn't bear it anymore."

"I went to a temple. I couldn't make up my mind, so I asked the gods and Buddhas to help me."

"In the end, the signature was issued so that I would not turn myself in."

"At that time, perhaps to comfort myself or for other reasons, I just felt that the future was suddenly bright."

Hearing this, Sato Miwako asked,

"Why do you say that."

Shikano Shuji did not answer, but continued to talk to himself.

"I wanted to rob because my restaurant was running out of money due to poor management."

"But I originally wanted to rob and run. As long as I took protective measures and there was no surveillance at the time, they shouldn't be able to find me."

"In the end, I didn't expect my luck to be so bad. I just casually swung my gun and killed a guard."

"I never expected that your father would identify me with just a wave of my hand."

"This is all beyond my expectations. It is God's will."

"But it was also God's will that your father saved me when I wanted to die."

"This is an opportunity God has given me. God favors me. God saw that I made a mistake, so he used your father's story to make me understand my sin."

"God is willing to give me a chance to be reborn."

"From now on, I swear that I will start a new life."

"I never touched that money. I didn't spend a single cent. I hid it all under the altar in my hometown."

"It's funny to say that I robbed the restaurant for my own restaurant, but I didn't spend a penny of the money I got. With the skills I learned from the exchange, I revived the restaurant."

"I have always thought that it was your father who gave me another life and made me grow up a lot."

"So, over the years, I am really grateful to your father for giving me a chance to be reborn."

"Since he died, I have sent some money to your family almost every year. Although it is not much, it can make up for my guilt a little."

"Eighteen years!"

Shikano Shuji sighed.

"I am free again. When the sun rises, I will return all the money. This will be an explanation to you and your father for all these years."

After listening to what Shuji Kano said, Miwako Sato felt mixed emotions.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

She nodded to the headset and said,

"Inspector Hakuba, he said it all."

From the headset came Bai Ma Song's voice.

"I heard it. I've asked Chiba and Takagi to rush over. As long as the numbers match, this will be the best evidence."

Listening to what Sato Miwako said into the headset, Kanno Shuji looked up in shock.

He said in disbelief,

"Mei, Meihezi, you, what are you doing..."

Sato Miwako looked at him with a complicated expression and said softly,

"Uncle Luye, you actually remembered it wrong."

"You specifically adjusted your return date to your birthday, but there was a strong typhoon on the day you returned, and your flight was delayed. You arrived in Japan at 00:04 the next day."

"So, the statute of limitations for this case actually still has one day left."

Shuji Kano's eyes widened, his body trembled continuously, and his mouth kept mumbling, as if he wanted to say something.

Finally, his body went limp and he slumped in the chair.

A relieved smile appeared on his lips.

"Haha, maybe this is fate."

"Eighteen years ago, your father gave me a new life. Eighteen years later, I will give it back to you."

After saying that, Shuji Kano stood up hunched over and stretched out his hands towards Miwako Sato.

"Meiwako, take me back to the Metropolitan Police Department. I am willing to cooperate."

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

This is an old case with only one day left in the statute of limitations.

Everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department is working at full efficiency.

In addition, after Shuji Shikano was brought back, he confessed to all the facts of his crime.

Therefore, in just one night, all the evidence in this case had been sorted out.

In the morning, Hakuba Matsu and Sato Miwako walked towards the parking lot together.

After staying up all night, it’s time to go home and catch up on some sleep.

It’s only a ten-minute walk from the office to the parking lot, but now it feels like a year has passed to Miwako Sato.

She was constantly struggling in her heart.

She was struggling over whether or not to reveal her feelings to Baimasong.

In fact, apart from old men like Shuji Kano, female police officer Miwako Sato also believes in fate.

The case that had remained silent for eighteen years was solved today by Bai Masong who found the murderer.

For Miwako Sato, this is simply wonderful.

The person you love personally helps your dead father find the truth. Isn't this God's will?

At this moment, Sato Miwako's fondness for Hakuba Matsu has reached its highest peak ever and is about to burst out.

But she was very conflicted.

It's not because she is a girl. In her opinion, all confessions are the same, and she never asks for privileges because of her female identity.

She just couldn't figure out what kind of feelings Bai Masong had for her.

Others say that confession is a hymn of victory, not a clarion call to charge.

Isn't it too hasty for her to just rush forward like this?

However, these days, people who knew her feelings urged her to take the initiative and seize the opportunity.

She, she really didn't know what to do.
