Chapter 234: Knife Wound, Metropolitan Police Department

Pain!

Akiwara Yuto didn't have time to react, and could only watch helplessly as the tip of the knife pierced the suit on his body.

But the tip of the knife didn't pierce the stab-proof vest worn inside, it just heavily "hit" the position in front of his heart, making him feel a burst of severe pain.

Because of the impact, he staggered back two steps and almost fell.

But by supporting the wall with his hand, he finally stood firm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he subconsciously shouted the bodyguard's name.

"Hatanaka! Come quickly!"

After hearing Akiwara Yuto's shout, Da Guan Zhenghe, wearing a cleaner's uniform, immediately came back to his senses.

Just now, because the tip of the knife was blocked, he subconsciously froze for a second.

But he understood that opportunity must not be lost, so he stepped forward and swung the knife again, wanting to pierce Akiwara Yuto's trachea—this part has no protection, as long as it can be pierced, it is also likely to be fatal.

Facing Da Guan Zhenghe's swinging knife, Akiwara Yuto immediately raised his arm, trying to block and protect his important parts.

The distance between the two was too close. Turning around and running away now would undoubtedly expose his vital parts to the other party.

Besides this, the bodyguard was at the door, and the time to rush in was estimated to be only a few seconds.

He only needed to protect himself within this short time!

Although Da Guan Zhenghe had the heart to pierce Akiwara Yuto's neck, he was not a professional after all and didn't know how to use a fruit knife to kill.

Under Akiwara Yuto's deliberate blocking, his greatest achievement was just scratching Akiwara Yuto's arm.

Soon, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

"Teacher Akiwara, step back!"

Bodyguard Hatanaka immediately rushed into the restroom and went straight to Da Guan Zhenghe.

Da Guan Zhenghe intended to scare him away with the knife, but Bodyguard Hatanaka easily knocked away the "murder weapon" in his hand and controlled his joints with police grappling techniques.

After letting out a burst of pain, Da Guan Zhenghe knelt on the ground.

Looking at Da Guan Zhenghe who had lost his ability to act, Akiwara Yuto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, his arm and the back of his hand already had several visible knife wounds.

The huge noise soon attracted the attention of people nearby. After discovering that someone was injured in the restroom, the library's security guards and duty teachers also rushed over.

After a simple statement, the duty teacher immediately called 110 to report the case and took Akiwara Yuto to the nearby infirmary to deal with the wounds simply.

Because this matter happened on the campus of the University of Tokyo and was related to a public figure, the Metropolitan Police Department attached great importance to it—arranging for the nearby police box to go out immediately, and arrived at the scene 20 minutes later.

After communicating with the police, Bodyguard Hatanaka finally handed Da Guan Zhenghe to two police officers and let them put handcuffs on him.

When Da Guan Zhenghe was sent to the police car, Akiwara Yuto, Toyama Miho, and Bodyguard Hatanaka stood in the crowd nearby to watch.

And Da Guan Zhenghe seemed to have discovered his gaze, immediately turned his head, showed a ferocious smile at Akiwara Yuto, and tried to say something.

The police officer next to him also noticed and forcibly stuffed him into the back seat of the police car.

After Akiwara Yuto discovered this situation, his heart also became suppressed.

Looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that this matter is not over yet?!

Could it be that he wants to find an opportunity to continue retaliating later?

Seeing the police officer who just asked questions leave, Toyama Miho said worriedly: "Teacher, should we go to a nearby large hospital?"

Akiwara Yuto looked at the bandaged wound on his hand and originally intended to refuse. After all, he still had to cooperate with the police investigation and go to the Metropolitan Police Department.

But just at this moment, he felt that the position where he was heavily "stabbed" by the tip of the knife was faintly aching.

He remembered some cases he had heard before, where some people had heart contusion or even internal bleeding because their heart area was heavily hit.

Out of this concern, Akiwara Yuto agreed.

"I know, I will go over with Hatanaka-san."

After a pause, he looked at Toyama Miho and said with a gentle attitude: "Sorry, let's end today's class here."

After finishing this sentence, he waved his hand and left the library with Bodyguard Hatanaka, walking toward the parking lot.

Looking at Akiwara Yuto's back, Toyama Miho's emotions became complicated.

As a disciple, she naturally knew about the death threat letter her master received.

But what she didn't expect was that her master was attacked at the location where she was being taught, which was the library of the University of Tokyo...

Not only that, she faintly felt that the suspect was a bit familiar.

Could it be that the suspect made preparations by following her?

Thinking of this, her heart became extremely heavy.

At the same time as Akiwara Yuto went to the hospital, Da Guan Zhenghe, as a suspect, was also handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Da Guan Zhenghe, as an "attempted murderer," was no longer something the police box could handle.

So after collecting evidence and some on-site testimony from witnesses, two police officers escorted him to the First Investigation Division—a department specifically responsible for violent crimes such as murder, robbery, injury, and sex crimes.

After bringing Da Guan Zhenghe into a special interrogation room, the two police officers handed a document to a scruffy, thin man and said politely.

"Police Inspector Soma, this is the on-site testimony we collected, and the murder weapon has also been handed over to the physical evidence section."

The thin man took the document and flipped through two pages, frowning and saying: "Intentional injury and attempted murder, why not call the relevant personnel over to cooperate with the investigation?"

The two police officers lowered their heads, and one of them answered: "Sorry, the victim indicated that he wanted to go to the hospital and will come over a bit later."

The thin man raised the document in his hand and said unceremoniously: "Isn't it that there are no significant wounds other than some minor injuries? Could it be that your records are wrong?"

"No, Police Inspector Soma." The two police officers immediately denied it, and one said again: "The other party is a person with a certain status, so it is better for us to wait here."

"A person with status?" The thin man said with dissatisfaction, immediately feeling that this matter was troublesome.

For the police to handle cases, the most troublesome thing is outside interference.

But if the victim is a politician, a consortium, or a celebrity, it will undoubtedly attract the attention of outside media.

Under the focus of the flash, all processing of the case must be done as openly and fairly as possible; otherwise, it is easy to be criticized by the outside world.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and asked: "Who is it?"

A police officer answered: "It is Akiwara Yuto, the author of 'Furuhata Ninzaburo'."

Hearing this name, the thin man who was still a bit dissatisfied in his heart immediately became energetic.

For the Metropolitan Police Department, the work "Furuhata Ninzaburo" can be said to be famous.

Not only did it successfully do a wave of publicity for the Metropolitan Police Department, but it also strengthened the sense of honor of all members of the Metropolitan Police Department.

After it was broadcast, many young guys in the Metropolitan Police Department became more popular when dating, and even some fans specifically sent condolence letters and gifts to the Metropolitan Police Department here.

And Akiwara Yuto, as the author of "Furuhata Ninzaburo," naturally became a favorite of the upper and lower levels of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The thin man extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and clenched his fists excitedly.

He had to handle this case beautifully.

If he could make the murderer confess obediently, he might be more appreciated by the superiors.

In that case, he should be able to suffer a few years less from this level of police inspector, right?!

On the other side, Da Guan Zhenghe, who was alone in the interrogation room, lowered his head and bit his teeth unwillingly.

He did not expect that his foolproof assassination attempt would actually fail.

To plan this operation, he had tracked Akiwara Yuto for a month and a half, recording all of his social circles and the locations he was most likely to appear.

Among these locations, he chose the University of Tokyo.

According to his investigation, Akiwara Yuto would regularly come to the library here every so often to meet the female student who had snatched his "Modern Detective Literature Award."

So, he went to great lengths to find a part-time job specifically responsible for cleaning the library, and secretly bought a fruit knife.

On the day the plan was implemented, he discovered that after Akiwara Yuto entered the library, he stayed in a bathroom stall the entire time, observing through the gap in the door that was not closed tightly.

Just as he had expected, when taking care of personal physiological needs, Akiwara Yuto would inevitably be separated from his bodyguard.

And this was the best opportunity for him to assassinate the other party.

To ensure a fatal blow, he specifically chose the location of the heart—any other part might have been saved by emergency treatment.

But such a detailed and thorough plan still failed.

Onuki Masakazu closed his eyes and thought for a while, discovering that he had misjudged two points.

First, he did not expect that Akiwara Yuto was actually wearing a stab-proof vest. One must know that the average temperature in April is over 20 degrees; wearing such a thing would surely feel stifling and uncomfortable.

Second, for the sake of portability, he only chose a small fruit knife, so much so that he couldn't really hurt Akiwara Yuto when he slashed.

He gritted his teeth for a while, then suddenly thought of another thing.

Since he didn't kill Akiwara Yuto, he could at most be charged with attempted murder and intentional assault; in that case, he probably wouldn't be sentenced for long.

Besides that, the arrangements he made to evade guilt should also have come in handy, right?!

Akiwara Yuto, after I get out, you had better honestly accept your punishment!
