Chapter 33 Section VIII

The next day—the morning of July 26, the body of journalist Yasuo Ichida was found. Ichida's body was found by a boy who was walking along the Saikawa River with his dog. The Nogata Police Department is in charge of investigating the case. From the business card, I learned that the deceased was a reporter named Yasuo Ichida.Ichida was strangled to death.There are finger marks on the neck.Judging from the indentations, the murderer's hands were large, and before he was strangled, he had facial injuries, nosebleeds, and split lips. No cash in carry-on items. After watching the scene, Yefang quickly got on the patrol motorcycle.

He drove along the Kepan road to Kasabu Honcho. Nogata rushed into the apartment, but Hanchuan was not there. Nogata ordered all the checkpoints through the radio on the patrol car, and when he found Hanchuan, he was arrested immediately. It was Ichida who reported Suzukawa to the Kanazawa police station.Ichida told Masayuki Samkawa by phone that he was monitoring Suzuki Seiji's residence, and emphasized that he was the guy who ran away from the Kankawa River Hospital and was related to the killing of Shimada and Hiraizumi.Now, he’s picking up the Suzuki again. Nogata asked Ichida to go to the police station.Ichida replied that he would go back in a few days and hung up the phone.

It was this Ichida who was killed. Moreover, the whereabouts of Masayuki Hankawa is unknown. After 8:00 a.m. that day, Masakawa was arrested by the Kanazawa Police Station. After Samkawa knocked Ichida down, he didn't return to the apartment.He sensed danger.Walking to the city center, he found a cheap hotel and stayed overnight.The next morning, as he was leaving Kanazawa, he was arrested on his way to the train station. Knowing the reason for his arrest, Han Chuan was greatly surprised.It turned out to be suspected of killing Ichida.I was just impulsive at the time.There was no intention of killing him.

"Sure enough, you did it?" After learning that Samukawa left the police station last night, he fought with Ichida on the embankment.Ye Fang was very excited. "Why did you kill him?" "Anyway, I didn't kill him because he kept pestering me. I just hit him in the face." "Why is Ichida pestering you?" "He made a mistake, said that I was monitoring Suzuki's house, and asked me why..." "So you killed him." "I just hit him." "After knocking him unconscious, you strangled his neck again." "No, if I killed it, I would have left Jinze last night."

"That doesn't explain anything." "..." "Ichida has been chasing after Shimada and Hiraizumi were killed. This is exactly your motive for killing." "wrong." "Let me tell you, the police can detain you for 48 hours, and the prosecutor's office can detain you for 24 hours, a total of 72 hours. The prosecutor can apply to detain you for 20 days, and can detain you for a total of 23 days. You conduct a thorough review, day and night, and you remember that lying doesn't get you through." "..." Han Chuan lowered his eyes.Ye Fang is not the same as yesterday.There was cruelty in his expression, the grim self-confidence of a man in power.

—be patient. Han Chuan warned himself.The police said they would conduct a thorough investigation, but the criminal procedure law has a false name. It is said that torture was used to obtain confessions. The interrogation continued, the defendant was not allowed to sleep, and the defendant was gradually thrown into chaos.So the defendant had nothing to do, and in order to sleep and escape from the interrogation, he began to talk nonsense. Of course, not all police officers are like this.Some interrogators conducted the interrogation in isolation from the Criminal Procedure Law.It is impossible to infer which category Nogata belongs to just from the surface.

Han Chuan secretly decided that if he was a devilish guy, he would grind with him.If he tells the truth, it will cause trouble for Qingcun Police and Ji Zong. "let's start." Nogata crossed his arms. "First, let's talk about the ins and outs of Ichida being killed." Ye Fang's two thick arms folded on his chest seemed calm and relaxed. "From now on, during these twenty-three days, I will exercise my right to remain silent." Han Chuan said in a low voice. This is a declaration of war.Torture it, torture it, even smash it to pieces.he cried, and he would not speak even if he killed me.

"Han Chuan, saying that doesn't work here." "..." "It's not good for you to be hard." "..." "Hanchuan!" Nogata knocked on the table with his fist.This punch had the potential to smash the table. Han Chuan didn't answer.He silently looked into Ye Fang's eyes.His gaze became indifferent even he didn't expect it.His feelings are gone.It's as if the blood has been drained, and the world feels cold, like a hibernating snake.He didn't think about anything, he didn't listen to anything, he just stared into Ye Fang's eyes intently.No matter which interrogator changes, he still has this mentality.

As long as you don't fall down, just stare at it. To become a living fossil. If you get angry, hit and kill, I don't even frown. The harsh interrogation continued. The interrogator changed every hour, no matter who came, Masayuki Samukawa's demeanor did not change at all.He put his handcuffed hands on the table, straightened his back and looked at the interrogator. He didn't say a word other than to ask to go to the bathroom. On the first day, he was brought to the scene of the Saichuan murder.Han Chuan didn't speak.When asked where the quarrel with Ichida was, he was also silent.

There are several interrogators.There was even a bit of humor in the opening interrogation.There are various methods of interrogation.Some interrogators said that no matter how strong-willed a person is, he can be made to bow his head and obey his ears.For this, they take their time. Gradually, this kind of calm and unhurried persistence can no longer be maintained. Han Chuan stubbornly kept silent.They tried many ways to get Hanchuan to speak. They learned about Hanchuan's boyhood, told about his father's suicide, and about his missing mother and sister in Iki. They want Han Chuan to remind him of the past in order to disturb his emotions.

They asked Hanchuan whether he smoked, whether he drank tea, how life in the detention center was like, what he wanted to eat, and so on. Han Chuan didn't answer at all, just looked into the interrogator's eyes. Someone scolded him, knocked on the table, grabbed his chest and slapped him, and someone stood behind him, strangled his neck, and kicked him.They were so mad with rage that they wanted to kill him. No matter what method he adopted, Han Chuan remained silent. After the violent type left, the soft type came again, but whether it was comforting or persuading, Han Chuan just didn't say a word. On the third day of detention, Han Chuan was a little dizzy.In the past three days, he was only allowed to sleep for three hours.Thinking is a little dull.There is always a net in front of me.He is in a trance.He could no longer sit up straight as usual.He staggered, fell down and got up again. "Well, don't you want to sleep?" On the evening of the third day, Yefang came to ask. "..." In front of him, Nogata's face overlapped. "If you give up your right to silence, let you sleep, let you lie down and have a good sleep." "..." He wanted to sleep, he wanted to give up everything and go to sleep, he felt that Ichida killed himself too.The prosecutor who killed him also confessed.Get a good night's sleep.I really want to lie down for a while. "How long are you going to hold on?" Ye Fang's face fluctuated from far to near before Han Chuan's eyes. "You are a nuisance." "..." Nogata's face disappeared, and the room disappeared. The room is slowly spinning. He didn't know what time it was.How many days have passed since the arrest.He doesn't know what month it is today.He had no idea what the interrogator was talking about. He had a long dream, and he couldn't tell if it was a dream or not.Someone told him about his boyhood and asked him where Reiko was now.These questions all come from the boundless darkness.This is darkness without a ray of light. What sound is mixed in this darkness.The sound broke through the approaching darkness.Like Yuan Lei.The dark veil trembled at the sound, which he decided was bees.More than ten million bees flutter in the dark. The sound shattered, the darkness shattered. "stand up?" He was picked up and taken into the interrogation room. Ye Fang sat there. "Well, did you sleep well?" "..." "The right to silence is no longer needed, you have been released." "..." "incredible." Ye Fang stared at Han Chuan with annoyed eyes.
