Chapter 24 Megure: Waaah, my little green!
"Damn it, no taking pictures!"
The beautiful police inspector from the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato Miwako, blushed with shame and indignation, and reached out to snatch the phone from Hayashi Hideichi's hand.
"Boss!"
Judy clenched her fists in anger, her blue eyes practically spitting fire.
Why am I in such a sorry state with the policewoman in front of me? Isn't it all because of you, the one who started this?
Not only did you not help, but you also had the audacity to stand by and take pictures!
"Sir!"
Sato Miwako's henchman, Takagi Wataru, finally realized what was happening. He quickly stepped forward, took out handcuffs he carried with him, and said to Hayashi Shuichi with a serious expression,
"We are now arresting you on suspicion of voyeurism and indecent assault against underage elementary school students. Please put down your phone immediately and come with us to the Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate with the investigation!"
"Wait a moment!"
Lin Xiuyi put away her phone, frowned in displeasure, and retorted confidently.
"What do you mean by 'peeping on elementary school students'? I was just secretly observing my daughter going to school with binoculars. Is that illegal?"
"This...this seems even more perverted, boss..." Judy rubbed her forehead and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
Does one really need to run across the street to the apartment building and spy on their daughter with high-powered binoculars?
Who would believe that if I told them that?!
"Hmph, stop making excuses!"
Sato Miwako snorted coldly, her face as black as the bottom of a pot, clearly not believing his explanation at all.
"In short, both of you will now come with us to the Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate with the investigation! If there are no objections, we will be handcuffing you!"
"Wait a moment."
Lin Xiuyi, however, remained completely calm. Instead, he leisurely straightened his collar.
"I need to contact my lawyer before going to the Metropolitan Police Department. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?"
Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi exchanged a glance and neither objected. It was a reasonable right for the suspect to request to contact a lawyer.
After receiving permission, Lin Xiuyi calmly picked up her phone and dialed a familiar number.
……
Inside Fei Law Firm, sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the desks.
Eri Kisaki sat behind her desk, her brows furrowed, intently flipping through a thick file.
Tomorrow is the trial date. It's a tricky murder case, and her opponent is none other than the sharp-tongued prosecutor, Reiko Kujo, known as "Madonna."
If she loses to Reiko Kujo in court tomorrow, she will have to say goodbye to her title as the "undefeated queen of the legal world".
Just as Eri Kisaki was engrossed in watching, her assistant, Midori Kuriyama, gently knocked on the office door and entered, her face showing a hint of hesitation and nervousness.
"Attorney Fei, Mr. Lin Xiuyi is calling. Would you like me to transfer you?"
Shuichi?
Eri Kisaki paused slightly in her grip on the dossier.
Before she left home today, she had clearly told Lin Xiuyi that she had important cases to handle during the day and that she shouldn't be bothered by private calls.
The call Lin Xiuyi is making now is from the firm's official phone number; something must have happened.
Could it be that on the way to take Xiaolan to school, they encountered some trouble that required a lawyer to resolve?
Eri's brows furrowed even more as she put down the file: "Did he say what it was about?"
"this……"
Kuriyama Midori's expression grew even more tense, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Mr. Lin seems to be in some trouble... He's been taken away by detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki abruptly stood up from her chair, her voice filled with disbelief and panic.
Those who are taken away by the First Investigation Division are usually involved in major criminal cases. Could it be that Shuichi is involved in some kind of murder case?
She couldn't bear to think any further and hurriedly urged Kuriyama Midori, "Quick, transfer the call!"
……
As soon as Kuriyama Midori transferred the call, Kisaki Eri immediately picked up the receiver, her voice urgent as she asked, "Shuichi, what happened? Why were you taken away by the First Investigation Division? Did you offend someone?"
The next moment, Lin Xiuyi's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, her tone unbelievably relaxed, showing absolutely no tension whatsoever about being arrested.
"It's nothing serious. After I dropped Xiaolan off at school today, I was a little worried, so I found a place to use binoculars to check on her during class. As a result, someone reported me as a pervert, and now the police want to take me to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning."
Fei Yingli: "..."
After a full three seconds of silence, the female lawyer slowly raised her hand and covered her face.
Even though she took a deep breath, she could still feel her temples throbbing.
What an idiot! Does he think this is America?!
She didn't care what was going on in America, but he was in Japan right now!
Due to the long-standing impact of a declining birth rate, Japan has an astonishingly strong protection system for minors, with legal provisions so detailed they are almost outrageous.
Let alone spying on a primary school with high-powered binoculars, even lingering at the school gate for a few extra minutes could lead to being reported as a suspicious person by passersby!
This is why simply observing an elementary school with binoculars would alarm the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division.
Because the First Investigation Division has a special criminal investigation unit specifically responsible for investigating cases of abduction and molestation of minors!
Lin Xiuyi's actions were practically walking into the line of fire!
……
Outside the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi brought Hideichi Hayashi back and locked him in the interrogation room.
No matter how the two interrogated him, Lin Xiuyi simply leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, and repeatedly emphasized one sentence: "I'm waiting for my lawyer to come."
Left with no other option, the two reported the matter to Inspector Megure of the First Division.
"What? Lin Xiuyi?!"
To Sato and Takagi's utter surprise, their superior, Inspector Megure, turned a deep shade of liver upon hearing the suspect's name, jumped up from his chair, and roared angrily.
"That bastard actually dared to go back to Japan?!"
"Huh? Inspector, you know this suspect?" Sato Miwako's eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time she had ever seen Inspector Megure so angry.
"Sato, from now on, you are no longer in charge of Hayashi Hideichi's cases!"
Inspector Megure took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and pointed to the door, giving a stern order.
"And Takagi, immediately notify all the female officers in the Metropolitan Police Department to stay away from the interrogation room where Hayashi Hideichi is being held! Do you hear me?!"
"Why, Inspector?"
Sato and Takagi looked at each other, completely bewildered, utterly baffled as to why Inspector Megure would issue such a strange order.
"You two are late; you have no idea what this bastard has done in the past!"
Megure Juzo gritted his teeth, his teeth itching with rage at the memory of what happened back then.
"That bastard deliberately committed petty crimes back then, all so he could sneak into the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up girls! It's utterly despicable and shameless!"
He paused, his tone filled with deep sorrow and indignation.
"Back in the day, many of my famous female colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department were seduced by this guy with his sweet talk! Even my little green one..."
