Chapter 258 - 255 End
"Meiqin, did you see the news? They’ve found the killer from that serial murder case before. It turns out to be the survivor from that fire last time!" In the UDI locker room, Tokairin Yuko was changing clothes while sharing the latest news with Misumi Mikoto, who was sitting on the bench eating breakfast.@@@@
"Oh? Really? Have they caught the guy yet?" Misumi Mikoto showed the appropriate amount of interest, but her hands didn’t stop moving as she continued eating. Today’s breakfast was still tempura bento, a bit too salty, which made her want to finish quickly and go back to the office for some water.
"They say Officer Maori and his team went to the hospital last night. But the killer is still in the ICU right now, waiting for him to recover before they can arrest him. However, I’ve heard that Officer Maori has assigned people to watch him around the clock.
The moment he leaves the ICU, they will arrest him!" Tokairin Yuko seemed very confident about the police’s chances of arresting the killer, even mimicking the action of making an arrest.
"Is it Officer Maori and his team making the arrest? It looks like Officer Maori and his team have made a significant achievement this time! This is a serial murder case with twenty-five victims.
Solving such a big case might even earn Officer Maori another promotion, right?" Picking up a shrimp from the bento box and putting it into her mouth along with some rice, Misumi Mikoto continued, "But as for the killer, he should get a heavy sentence, right? I wonder if he will be sentenced to death..."
"It depends on the judge... But with such a severe case, they should sentence him to death, right? Wasn’t the killer from the Akihabara murder case also sentenced to death?" Tokairin Yuko, now dressed, looked at Misumi Mikoto, who hadn’t finished her bento, and suddenly leaned in to whisper, "I also heard that Dr. Discover more stories at novelhall.Côm
Nakado’s girlfriend, who was killed eight years ago, seems to have been killed by this same guy. I wonder if Dr. Nakado knows about this. If he does, he must be happy, right?"
"I think he would probably burst into tears," replied Misumi Mikoto somewhat distractedly, while her mind inadvertently flashed back to the scene from the night before, when she followed Chen Yu’s instruction to save Kojiya Yukiko’s soul in a White Crystal and hand it to Nakado Department, and he fell to the ground crying tears of joy like a child.
"I know, but now..." Jounouchi Hiromi nodded, fully aware of Yuiko Tsuina’s sentiments, yet her arms were encircling Chen Yu’s neck, "I am your fiancée, and my heart belongs to you now."
"Talking such sweet nothings so early in the morning, I guess I’ve come to understand how you made people fall for you in high school," Chen Yu said affectionately, pinching Jounouchi Hiromi’s perky nose before releasing his fiancée and leaving the ward with her.
As the two were walking towards the office, they encountered the Glasses Doctor, who had just returned from the ICU ward, his face etched with confusion and deep in thought, nearly bumping into Chen Yu.
"I’m sorry, Professor!" The Glasses Doctor quickly apologized to Chen Yu, "I was pondering over a case and didn’t see you, my apologies."
"It’s alright, but... Dr. Moto, what case has you so engrossed?" Chen Yu indicated that it was no trouble, yet he was curious as to what kind of case could have the Glasses Doctor so absorbed.
However, the name of the Glasses Doctor was indeed a point of curiosity; even he had to make an effort to peek at the name tag on the doctor’s chest to recall his name—could this be a curse?
"It’s about that burn patient, the survivor from the fire," the Glasses Doctor explained to Chen Yu, also hoping to get some guidance from him, "Recently, they identified him as the perpetrator in a series of murders. The police came last night, intending to arrest him, but his injuries prevented him from leaving the ICU ward. Thus, the police simply stationed someone to watch over him."
"However, when I conducted my rounds this morning, he suddenly regained consciousness, and upon the police’s questioning, he confessed everything, then immediately suffered brain death. It’s truly beyond comprehension."
"Indeed, it is beyond comprehension!" Chen Yu agreed with the Glasses Doctor’s remark, but he knew in his heart that the reason was that the culprit’s soul had been personally killed by the Nakado Department the previous night, and the revival in the morning was merely the effect of his own "magic."
