Chapter 235: Did You Do Him?

~9 min read 1,659 words

On the other side, Akiwara Yuto, accompanied by his bodyguard, finished a detailed examination at the hospital.

According to the X-ray results, the doctor indicated that there were bruises and hematomas on his chest due to the impact, and he only needed to apply hot and cold compresses for these few days.

Besides this, for the wound cut by the knife, he was also arranged to have a tetanus vaccine.

After finishing everything, time passed by nearly 3 hours, and the sky outside the window was completely dark.

Akiwara Yuto took his bodyguard and finished his meal directly in the hospital cafeteria, then prepared to go to the parking lot to drive away.

Just as he reached the business car, Bodyguard Hatanaka suddenly stopped his steps and knelt on the ground in a dogeza posture.

"Teacher Akiwara, this time it was my negligence, please forgive me!"

After finishing this sentence, Hatanaka Shu said again: "I hereby submit my resignation to you. As for the follow-up personnel, I will apply for the company to arrange for you again."

In Hatanaka Shu's view, he was undoubtedly very derelict in his duty for letting his employer get injured!

If it weren't for the stab-proof vest, it is estimated that Akiwara Yuto might have been killed directly this time!

By that time, he might not be able to mix in this line of work at all.

Akiwara Yuto looked at Hatanaka Shu kneeling on the ground and showed a helpless expression.

He felt that this matter really couldn't blame Hatanaka Shu, after all, he had always been guarding him dutifully.

It was just that Da Guan Zhenghe was too cunning, actually hiding in the restroom stall to assassinate him.

Like some brainless criminals, they directly find a public occasion and attack with a knife.

Akiwara Yuto thought for a while and felt that having a bodyguard was still necessary. After all, even if he changed to another one, he couldn't guarantee that the other person would be dedicated.

Under this consideration, Akiwara Yuto lowered his status and persuaded him with good words for a while, before letting Hatanaka Shu stand up and say with gratitude that he would continue to work seriously.

After this episode, the two sat in the business car and rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department, starting to cooperate with the police's routine questioning.

"May I ask if it is Teacher Akiwara?"

After Akiwara and the two arrived at the office of the First Investigation Division, a thin man walked up and asked politely.

Akiwara Yuto nodded and introduced the bodyguard's identity.

After confirming the identities of the two, the thin man's attitude became even kinder, stepping forward to take the initiative to shake hands and introduce himself.

"I am Soma Dayu, the Police Inspector of the First Investigation Division. It is really troublesome for you to come over so late, you have worked hard."

"Where, it should be us who express apologies, after all, it makes you work overtime so late."

One doesn't hit a smiling person. Akiwara Yuto saw that the other party's attitude was polite, so he also answered very politely.

"You are too polite, we in the Metropolitan Police Department take the taxpayers' money, so naturally we have to handle things dutifully." Soma Dayu exchanged a few more polite words, then reached out and signaled, signaling Akiwara Yuto and the two to leave with him.

But just at this moment, others in the office also noticed here.

A man wearing glasses took the initiative to ask: "May I ask if you are Teacher Akiwara, the author of 'Furuhata Ninzaburo'?"

Akiwara Yuto didn't expect this accident, but he admitted it very readily.

After hearing the affirmative reply, everyone in the office exclaimed, and then one by one took out paper and pens, and surrounded them one after another.

"Teacher Akiwara, I am a fan of 'Furuhata Ninzaburo', I hope you can give me an autograph!"

"Teacher Akiwara, why did you take the initiative to give up the Uemura Prize?"

"What will your next work be about?"

"Teacher Akiwara, you..."

Facing the enthusiastic members of the Metropolitan Police Department, Akiwara Yuto subconsciously froze, and for a moment thought he was at the scene of a book signing rather than cooperating with the investigation at the Metropolitan Police Department.

But he didn't think much, and very readily signed one by one and answered the questions.

Soma Dayu felt a bit ashamed, so he took Akiwara Yuto and Hatanaka Shu away.

The three came to a room with a sofa and sat down under Soma Dayu's greeting.

Akiwara Yuto looked at the room curiously and asked curiously: "This is not an interrogation room, right?"

According to convention, he, as a person related to the case, should also be taken to the interrogation room to fill in materials and answer content related to the case.

But this room has a sofa and a coffee table, and just now the receptionist poured black coffee, how it looks like a reception room.

Hearing this question, Soma Dayu's mouth twitched.

People related to the case should indeed be taken to the interrogation room, but that is only for ordinary citizens.

But Akiwara Yuto, as a public figure, naturally cannot be subjected to this treatment.

Moreover, his "Furuhata Ninzaburo" series, besides his colleagues, even the police inspector likes it very much.

Not only that, after he was stabbed, some well-informed media quickly paid attention and contacted the Metropolitan Police Department.

It is estimated that by tomorrow, relevant reports will appear in the news section.

By that time, I am afraid more reporters will pay attention.

Since that is the case, he naturally cannot neglect Akiwara Yuto, who is related to the case. After all, if the other party says two bad things about the Metropolitan Police Department, all the pots will be counted on his head.

"Teacher Akiwara, the interrogation room is occupied, I just have a few questions here."

Soma Dayu put down the coffee in his hand, his attitude was very polite, "Can you tell me about the specific conflict between you and that suspect?"

Akiwara Yuto pondered for a while, then informed the cause and effect of the incident.

From the press conference to receiving the death threat letter, to this attack incident, and the role Hatanaka Shu played when capturing the other party, all were informed to the other party.

These contents were basically beneficial to him, so there was no need to hide them.

Soma Dayu recorded all the content in his notebook and then pondered.

Looking at the situation he understood, the content was about the same, nothing more than one person threatening the other party with death and stabbing him after the two became enemies.

"Teacher Akiwara, can you let me see the hospital's diagnosis certificate?" Soma Dayu made another request.

Akiwara Yuto followed the trend and let the bodyguard hand over the diagnosis certificate.

After Soma Dayu finished reading, he found that these knife wounds were basically no more than 8 cm, which could at most be counted as minor injuries.

Akiwara Yuto saw that Soma Dayu's expression was wrong, so he asked "Police Inspector Soma, can I know how the interrogation results of the Metropolitan Police Department regarding Da Guan Zhenghe are?"

Generally speaking, even if the victim wants to know the situation, the Metropolitan Police Department will refuse to disclose it out of the principle of confidentiality.

But Akiwara Yuto saw the attitude of the Metropolitan Police Department, so he asked this question that was slightly over the line.

Soma Dayu hesitated for a while, but still said, "I hope you can keep the following content confidential."

Immediately after, he informed the interrogation results regarding Da Guan Zhenghe.

Akiwara Yuto listened while frowning.

During the interrogation, Da Guan Zhenghe was very uncooperative, often using rhetoric to cleverly muddle through, and many questions had only one answer.

For example, when asked about his motive and intent for committing the crime, he repeated only one sentence, which was "Akiwara Yuto ruined me."

And some key methods remained silent, not willing to cooperate at all.

Akiwara Yuto was silent for a while, then asked the one question he most wanted to ask.

"Police Inspector Soma, if it is judged, what kind of verdict will the court give?"

"Teacher Akiwara, it might disappoint you." Soma Dayu said seriously, "Although it is attempted murder plus intentional injury, your wounds can only be counted as minor injuries. So it will only be sentenced between 3-5 years."

After a pause, he added: "If the other party has a good attitude and is willing to confess during the trial, it might even be sentenced to a certain period of probation."

Hearing this answer, Akiwara Yuto's hands were tightly clenched.

This time, he really tasted the taste of death, and didn't want to try it again.

He could not forget the ferocious smile Da Guan Zhenghe showed at him when he was sent to the police car.

But according to this police inspector's statement, even if sentenced, it is estimated that it won't be for long.

The best situation is to be sentenced for 5 years, and then the other party will still have the possibility of attacking him after being released from prison.

The worst situation is probation, the other party can still launch an attack as long as he avoids the police's surveillance.

Once that step is reached, does he have to have a bodyguard follow him every time he goes to the restroom in the future?

What if Da Guan Zhenghe feels that attacking him is too difficult and sets his sights on Asano, Satake, Toyama, and others?

Akiwara Yuto closed his eyes and thought about a question he had never considered before.

Does he have to find a desperate Yakuza to solve this hidden danger?

If he doesn't do this, what other means can he have? ===== CHAPTER 236 =====
