Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Compared to the reporters' concerns, Akiko Yonehara was already fearless.

She's a murderer who's already killed someone and is about to be sentenced, what could she possibly be afraid of?

Akiko Yonehara stared at the numerous cameras before her, unleashing all the pain she had accumulated over the past few years, recounting each and every one of the incidents.

"Less than a day after Minako's body was discovered, the police closed the case as a suicide."

"Their reason was that Minako couldn't handle the excessive academic pressure."

"Ha, how ridiculous..."

Akiko Yonehara sneered, her face full of mockery.

"I have been collecting evidence for the past few years, and I have been working hard."

"I kept all of Minako's clothes that day, as well as all her personal belongings, so that one day I could overturn her case."

“But when I went to the Beika Police Station, they told me that the case had already been closed and that I needed approval from higher authorities to reopen the investigation.”

“I went to the Metropolitan Police Department, and they told me that this was a case handled by a subordinate police station, and it was not convenient for them to get involved.”

"I went to the prosecutor's office, and they told me that they couldn't handle suicide cases that had already been closed..."

"hehe,"

Akiko Yonehara gave another cold laugh, her eyes gazing into the distance with a hint of sadness.

"That child probably never imagined that the world isn't just black and white..."

As Akiko Yonehara's voice faded, the surrounding environment fell silent.

There were clearly at least eighty or a hundred people gathered here, yet they all chose to remain silent.

A moment later, the surrounding reporters erupted in excitement again...

At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds—

Forget about all that nonsense, just report it!

Anyway, the Metropolitan Police Department used to bow and apologize all the time, so what difference would it make if one more person did it?

The police officer detaining Akiko Yonehara felt utterly hopeless about his future.

The interview was tacitly approved by him, after all, there had been such precedents before. In theory, it was nothing more than the criminal showing a will to survive, and then the police would come to the rescue to demonstrate the power of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Who knew this time....

It seems like things went too far.

But now I can't rush up and say I can't ask anymore, I can't ask anymore.

This is just like a guilty conscience admitting guilt without being asked!

There was no other way but to continue the interview...

However, Akiko Yonehara didn't say anything more.

She's said everything she wanted to say; the rest is just that—the rest.

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

Perhaps it was Akiko Yonehara's genuine emotion that actually had an effect.

And so, just one day later, Akiko Yonehara became a sensation!

Her case was first published in several top-tier newspapers, including the Nichiuri Shimbun.

Subsequently, several television stations, led by Nichiri TV, also reported on the case.

After that, Akiko Yonehara also appeared online...

More and more people are seeing her story.

People throughout Tokyo talked about her to varying degrees during their leisure time.

Initially, there were indeed some 'rational' members of the public who maintained an attitude of absolute justice, believing that a criminal's words should not be believed entirely and that one should not have any sympathy for the criminal's act of killing.

However, some nosy reporters then began to take action...

They visited several relevant departments mentioned by Akiko Yonehara, but received vague answers.

They found many of Akiko Yonehara's former students, but all received the same answer—Ms. Yonehara was a gentle and kind teacher.

As more and more follow-up reports emerged, many dissenting voices gradually disappeared.

Nowadays, whenever Akiko Yonehara's story is mentioned, everyone looks on with regret.

This is a teacher who could have done nothing and no one would have blamed her.

Now, after failing to achieve her goals through legitimate means, she has resolutely wielded the blade of revenge for the sake of her students...

In this environment, more and more people are choosing to speak out for her.

They may be insignificant and have little influence, but some people are not...

Akiko Yonehara once taught at Teitan Elementary School and Beika Elementary School, both of which were semi-aristocratic schools in the area, with students coming from at least middle-class or higher families, and were either rich or noble.

She has been teaching for ten years, and the oldest of her students has gone to university. Many of them still remember her fondly...

Perhaps they are nothing special, but among Akiko Yonehara's students, there is one person of extraordinary status...

When Sonoko Suzuki, the second daughter of the Suzuki family and the future successor of Japan's leading conglomerate, declared that Yonehara-sensei was a good teacher and expressed her strong dissatisfaction with the Mochizuki Minako incident, loudly criticizing her...

This public opinion storm was destined to escalate further...

Its severity has already attracted the attention of the National Police Agency, which is above the Metropolitan Police Department.

They quickly issued a statement saying that the investigators in the case of Minako Mochizuki three years ago would be dealt with seriously, and that the relevant departments would be seriously educated regarding the passing the buck mentioned in the report.

The Metropolitan Police Department also promised to immediately reopen the investigation into the Minako Mochizuki case from three years ago.

This investigation, personally led by Criminal Investigation Department Chief Toshiro Odagiri, will surely provide a satisfactory explanation to all those concerned about this case...

Aside from his opinion on Akiko Yonehara's murder, everything else has been explained.

However, it's normal not to mention Akiko Yonehara, since the Metropolitan Police Department is ultimately a government department and cannot speak out for criminals.

This media storm seems to have passed just like that...

No wonder!

Akiko Yonehara's fire has ignited far more than just this...

Just when everyone thought the matter would gradually calm down after the Metropolitan Police Department's statement, an obscure newspaper reported on a case from a year ago—

A year ago, Yasushi Nino, a surgeon at Toto University Hospital, was found dead at home. The cause of death was excessive blood loss caused by a scalpel slashing his wrist.

At the time, the case was ruled a suicide by the police at the Beika Police Station.

Originally, the reporting of this case seemed to be nothing more than rehashing old news.

The key point is that this report mentions a new suspect who has a conflict with Jinno – Toshiya Odagiri.

He is the son of Toshiro Odagiri, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department...
