I'm writing a diary in Zongman

So, her eyes were on Amamiya Ren.

"So, Amamiya, I hope you can help me."

"Want my help? I don't really care about that. But is it okay with you? Once you use your abilities beyond their scope, it won't be a completely legal method for you."

"Ah."

Miwako Sato also knew that this was an illegal method, but she could not bear to see the culprit who killed her father escape the prosecution period and eventually spend the rest of his life using the money he robbed 18 years ago.

"For me, the law is above many things, but that doesn't mean I can allow people like this to escape legal punishment."

"Dad can show mercy and let the murderer go, but I absolutely cannot let the murderer go."

"So, no matter what means he used, I would send him to jail. Not for surrendering himself, but for being arrested."

Turning yourself in will make the trial less fraught.

Sato Miwako would never allow such a thing. People like that should spend the rest of their lives in prison.

"Have you decided?"

"Ah."

"Then, contact me on the anniversary of his death. With someone like that, it's easy to trick him into saying things he wouldn't normally say by simply amplifying his emotions. Then, you can ask Inspector Megure to sit in on the proceedings."

"Ah."

The heavy desire for revenge in Sato Miwako's heart was put down.

Her father's death was a hurdle she would never be able to overcome, and she simply gave the culprit who had fled the place the arrest scenario that he should have received.

She would not let the murderer die at her hands, but she would use her own means to send that person to prison.

Robbing a bank and killing an on-duty criminal police officer are multiple crimes that result in serious punishment.

Once convicted by the court, that person has no choice but to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Chapter 373 There is still a chance

Since we have lunch together, there is naturally no dinner.

Amamiya Ren didn't know how much lunch cost, but she guessed it wouldn't be cheap.

After sending Sato Miwako back to her home, Amamiya Ren took out a cake for two from Sefirah Castle.

"Birthday cake. If I don't have some cake after dinner, my birthday will feel like something is missing."

"Would you like cake with dinner?"

Miwako Sato doesn't hate eating cake. She still likes sweets, but eating cake at night is a bit too arrogant.

But then I thought, today I learned the truth about my father's death 18 years ago, and I also knew who was the culprit who caused my father's death. Maybe I should celebrate today.

Both she and her mother need to celebrate properly.

Drinking alcohol isn't a good idea, but perhaps eating cake is a less harmful way to celebrate.

"Thank you."

"Well, you're welcome."

After giving the cake to Sato Miwako, Amamiya Ren prepared to leave.

"Wait, Amamiya."

Amamiya Ren paused slightly, and he felt Sato Miwako quickly approaching him.

I felt a hint of warmth on my face.

When I came back to my senses, I saw Sato Miwako smiling generously.

"Thank you~"

"See you later."

After saying that, he carried the cake box and walked towards his house.

Amemiya Ren watched Sato Miwako jumping away. He didn't expect that he would be attacked by surprise, but this thank you gift was acceptable.

"Isn't this cute?"

After sighing, Yu Lian left the entrance of the community.

However, the sudden collision between the two was seen by Mrs. Sato on the third floor.

"This child is starting to fall..."

Mrs. Sato knew from looking at her daughter's cheerful steps that perhaps she wouldn't have to urge her daughter to fall in love anymore.

But we still need to understand the situation of that boy.

And judging from Miwako's reaction, she must have a good impression of that boy, otherwise she wouldn't fall in love with him.

After waiting for a while at home, I heard a sound coming from the entrance.

"I am back."

There was a hint of lightness in her voice, and Mrs. Sato was sure that Miwako was in a surprisingly good mood at the moment.

Maybe it was partly because of the kiss.

Mrs. Sato smiled and walked towards the entrance.

As soon as I walked over, I saw my daughter standing there holding a cake box.

Mrs. Sato noticed at a glance that her daughter was wearing something new on her hand that was not holding the cake box.

A crystal bracelet, it looks brand new, probably bought outside.

Mrs. Sato walked over and took the cake box from her daughter.

"Why are you thinking of eating cake tonight? Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

"It's from Amemiya. I also think it's a sin to eat cake at night, but today is different."

The happy expression on Sato Miwako's smiling face faded for a moment, and her expression gradually became serious.

"Mom, I know who Dad captured and escaped 18 years ago, and who ultimately caused his death in the line of duty."

Mrs. Sato's heart trembled, and she finally waited for the answer to be revealed.

She tried to slow her breathing.

"Don't talk about it here, come in and talk about the rest."

"Ah."

The mother and daughter quickly entered the room.

The cake box had been opened and placed on the kotatsu. Mrs. Sato and Miwako Sato were sitting opposite each other on the kotatsu.

"Did that boy tell you?"

"Ah."

"Is it reliable?"

Mrs. Sato couldn't help but ask.

She wasn't too worried if she didn't get an answer, but she was afraid she might get the wrong answer.

Once upon a time, she also hoped to find the person who killed Zhengyi, but she did not have the ability to find that person.

Faced with the answer from her daughter, Mrs. Sato was also worried that the answer this time would be equally unreliable.

"Qiu Silang, those were the words a witness heard Dad shout at the fleeing prisoner. We always believed it was Dad calling the other person's name. The detective who handled the case at the time thought the same thing, but they were wrong. They were going in the wrong direction."

"Wrong direction?"

Mrs. Sato looked stunned. She had also suspected that Qiu Silang was not a person's name, but she didn't know what was wrong.

"It's the wrong direction."

Sato Miwako nodded slightly.

"Qiusilang is not a person's name, but my father's earnest hope for the prisoner before he died. It wasn't Qiusilang, but to turn himself in. The prisoner was someone my father knew, so he hoped the prisoner would turn himself in."

"If we were to investigate from this perspective, then the person who left the country at that time would be the murderer of my father."

These words were like a bolt of lightning to Mrs. Sato.

Speaking of which, there was actually only one person among Zhengyi's friends who left the country, and Mrs. Sato still remembers that person's name.

"Kan-o... Kano!"

Mrs. Sato immediately remembered that the Kan-o recorded in the Justice Police Manual actually meant Ka-no, and the person referred to was Shuji Shikano.

This made Mrs. Sato realize immediately that all the evidence back then actually pointed to the same person.

It's just that the information left over from 18 years ago was too scattered, and Qiu Silang's meaning at the time was too strange, so everyone focused on interpreting that sentence. However, they didn't expect that Qiu Silang was not a person's name, but pointed everything to the range of friends.

Perhaps, if someone had thought of this at the time, the case in 18 would not be an unsolved case, but a case that could have been solved that year and the murderer quickly caught.

"Ah."

Seeing that her mother had reacted, Sato Miwako nodded slightly.

"But even so, the statute of limitations has already expired..."

Mrs. Sato remembered that the statute of limitations for bank robbery cases was 15 years, but that period had expired three years ago, which meant that the case could no longer be investigated further.

"No, there's still time. If the criminal leaves the country after committing a crime, the statute of limitations will be suspended during the time he's away from home. He wasn't able to stay in the country for the entire time he spent there due to various suspicions. So, there's still a chance to catch him."

"Besides, even if the statute of limitations for the bank robbery has expired, we can still catch him if we find the money he robbed the bank with."

The money actually robbed from the bank doesn't end with the statute of limitations. Sato Miwako believes the man hasn't touched the money yet. He's probably waiting, waiting for all the time to pass, for the events of that day to be completely forgotten, before he takes the money out again.

So, there is still a chance.

Chapter 374: Digesting Sequence 8, Subsequent to Sequence 7

April 4st is Officer Sato's birthday, and today is also the day she treats everyone to a meal.

But I know she wants to know an answer, a truth about her father's death in the line of duty 18 years ago.

Through divination, she easily discovered the truth behind her father's death in the line of duty. She learned of her friend's crime, which involved a security guard who had died during a bank robbery. This was why Officer Sato's father, upon catching the criminal, didn't want him to be arrested, but rather surrendered himself.

[He turned himself in one syllable short of becoming Qiu Silang, and this became an unsolved case from 18 years ago. But if that original statement could be understood, perhaps the case back then would also be a single case.]

The criminal escaped for 18 years, even fleeing abroad for over three years, and robbed a bank of 3 million yen.

"I divined that the bank was robbed and the bank president was blamed. But how could a bank president take such a responsibility? Furthermore, the stolen property was state property. Even if the statute of limitations had expired, such a person would never be allowed to succeed."

If there is a successful case like this, then the entire island nation will be filled with bandits, right?

[As long as all the stolen money is recovered, the criminal's fate is sealed. This is absolutely unacceptable, and no one can be exempted.]

So, I didn't tell Officer Sato that the statute of limitations was no longer an issue. Having less trouble is actually a good thing.

[Also, if the daughter of the officer who died in the line of duty solves a cold case that's plagued the police for 18 years, it would be great publicity for the police. While it wouldn't lead to another quick promotion for Officer Sato, I imagine he'll definitely receive some sort of reward.]

【As for me, I seem to have gained the favor of a female police officer. 】

Having written this, Amamiya Ren stopped writing.

Today's diary ends here.

Following the diary entry is today’s lucky moment.

The wheel turns, and the indicators of fate are fixed.

Lord of Mysteries

[Obtained Sequence 8 Swindler.]

After seeing these words and looking at the bottle of potion in front of her, Amamiya Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like I'm pretty lucky."
