Chapter 146

Though complaining that he didn't want to meddle, Ren Amamiya still walked out of the room quickly.

The man had already grabbed the woman at the doorway.

How impatient could one be?

"Why! Why are you running away from me!"

While choking her, the man questioned her like a madman.

He looked as if he had been abandoned, or even cuckolded.

Ren Amamiya didn't think much about it; he took a few steps, kicked the man straight in the face, and sent the crazed man flying with a single kick.

"Cough... cough..."

The freed woman coughed urgently.

It seemed the throat-choking had quite a significant effect.

The woman looked at the man who had been kicked away, fear of death still on her face.

She could feel that she had truly almost lost her life just now.

Besides feeling fear, she also felt deep confusion.

She naturally knew the man who had choked her.

But she didn't understand why.

"Are you okay?"

"..."

The woman shook her head slightly after a moment of daze.

"Call the police."

It was a very deliberate act of murder, breaking into a private residence, plus attempted murder; once the police are called, this man will definitely be sent away for a few years.

At this moment, Ren Amamiya also noticed the woman's reaction.

There was confusion, sadness, and also struggle.

"Mm, I'll call the police."

After hesitating for a while, the woman took out her phone from her pocket and called the police.

It would still be some time before the police arrived.

The man who had just been kicked away by Ren Amamiya was now lying on the ground, unconscious.

"Are you okay?"

"... Mm, thank you."

The woman touched her neck; she could still feel intense pain, and even her voice was slightly hoarse when she spoke.

After resting for a while, the woman slowly stood up.

First, she bent over and bowed slightly to Ren Amamiya, who had acted righteously, to express her gratitude.

"Thank you. If not for your help, perhaps I would have already..."

"No need."

Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly.

At least there was no situation of being falsely accused; he didn't want to act righteously only to be framed by someone else, which would truly be terrible bad luck.

He then noticed this woman.

Her tea-colored hair was slightly messy, yet it could not hide her exquisite features.

Her clothes were quite thick, so it was hard to tell, but judging by her silhouette, she was not in bad shape.

Mm, a woman like this easily becomes a target for stalkers.

It was just strange; this woman didn't seem to have been stalked, but rather ambushed at her own home by an acquaintance.

Ren Amamiya was a bit curious, but he wouldn't say much.

He said nothing and simply accompanied the woman while waiting for the police to arrive.

About ten minutes later, roughly four police officers arrived.

One female and three males.

An older police officer wearing a round hat stepped forward to check the man lying on the ground.

Confirming he was merely unconscious, there was no need to call an ambulance.

He took out handcuffs and cuffed the unconscious man's hands behind his back.

"Give a hand, carry him down."

Saying this, the older police officer gave a look to his female subordinate.

The female subordinate nodded in understanding.

"Young Lady, are you okay now? I need to understand the basic situation."

"It's fine."

The female police officer led the woman to the inner part of the room to gather some information.

Outside, the middle-aged police officer with the hat turned his attention to Ren Amamiya.

"Mr., may I ask about the situation of this case?"

"I am the neighbor."

"I just heard someone screaming and came to take a look."

"I only gave the man who was killing someone a kick; will there be any trouble?"

"Of course not."

The middle-aged police officer shook his head slightly.

"Regardless of which angle you look at this case, you were stopping a crime."

"The way you stopped the crime wasn't excessive, and there was no repeated injury."

"You are still a student?"

"Mm."

"Since that's the case, today's case isn't complicated. If you don't have time, you don't need to go to the Metropolitan Police Department for a statement."

Actually, this doesn't quite fit the rules, but often rules need to be decided based on the actual situation.

Ren Amamiya knew this as well.

"What is your surname?"

"Megure Jūzō. You can call me Officer Megure."

Megure Jūzō.

Looking at the slightly portly middle-aged police officer before him, he couldn't tell that this was actually that Officer Megure.

Then that tall woman just now must have been Satō Miwako.

A professional suit paired with a skirt, very much having the aura of an office lady; indeed, one couldn't tell that person was a policewoman.

Mm, except for the capable, short hairstyle.

Megure Jūzō took out his business card.

"This is my contact information. If you encounter any problems later, you can contact me."

Ren Amamiya glanced at it thoughtfully.

"That person attempted murder; can they get out in a short time?"

"Just in case."

"The specific situation still depends on that lady's testimony."

"Once a criminal case becomes a civil one, maybe they won't be locked up for so long."

Ren Amamiya sighed.

"If something like this happens, I'll have to consider moving somewhere else."

"Heh~"

Megure Jūzō couldn't help but laugh too.

He lowered his hat a bit and gently patted Ren Amamiya's shoulder.

"Don't worry, it's highly unlikely."

"If it can be confirmed as breaking and entering, then this time it is attempted intentional murder."

"The nature is different; it can't turn into a civil case, and it's highly likely he'll be sent inside."

"Mm, understood."
