When Megure Juzo and his men walked into the ward, he saw Kisaki Eri standing in front of the bed with her hands on her hips, with a sullen face, scolding the person sitting on the bed incessantly.

"So you knew there was something wrong with that glass of red wine? Then why did you drink it? Where's your vigilance?"

Koizumi curled up like a quail and whispered in defense: "Because only in this way can he lower his guard. And I only drank a little bit..."

"Still quibbling! Do you know how dangerous your actions are? If there hadn't been an accident, use your brain to think about what would have happened to you now! You still want to be a detective in this state? Don't lose your life first!"

Koizumi bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying sincerely, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have taken such a risk on myself."

Maori Kogoro looked at Sakurai Izumi's shrinking appearance, showed a sympathetic expression, and coughed lightly: "Eri, let's ask Sakurai a few questions."

When Hibiki Eri heard her husband's voice, she became even angrier. She turned around and glared at him, shifting her anger to another target: "Who said that? It's just a few simple words. There won't be any problems."

Maori Kogoro was scolded by her in front of his superiors and colleagues, and his face was embarrassed: "Who would have thought that the guy would do such a crazy thing!"

"I just thought of it! Sakurai had thought of it a long time ago too!"

Kisaki Eri roared like a lioness, then turned and glared at Koizumi.

Koizumi had relaxed a little, but when he suddenly saw Kisaki Eri turning her head, he was so scared that he quickly shrank back up.

Drinking drugs and so on, those were all fabricated by her, but there was no way to say that. Koizumi could only grit his teeth and bear the wrath of the lawyer.

Oh my god, when Kisaki Eri gets angry, she's so scary! I suddenly feel a little sorry for Maori Kogoro. What's wrong with him...

Megure Jusan couldn't bear it any longer and coughed softly, "Lawyer Hime, please let us talk to Miss Sakurai first."

For the sake of Megure Juzo, Kisaki Eri finally stopped her attack, took a few steps back and sat down in the chair beside Koizumi's bed.

The scene was quiet for a moment. Maori Kogoro kept winking at her, but when he saw that Kisaki Eri ignored him, he could only say, "Eri, go out first..."

Kisaki Eri interrupted him rudely: "I am Sakurai's lawyer."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone lost their temper.

Megure Juzo signaled the people behind him to take notes and began questioning.

"Sakurai, tell me what happened first."

"Okay." Koizumi sorted out his thoughts and said, "The initial cause was that on the day I was expelled from the police academy, Inspector Nakae happened to come to inspect, and I punched him in public. Later, he spoke rudely to me during the bombing of the Beika Police Station, and I punched him again. You should know all this, Officer Megure."

Officer Megure nodded.

"But you probably don't know what he told me that time."

Koizumi showed an angry expression on his face: "He hinted to me that I should apologize to him with my body. There is no evidence, but many people were present at the time and saw my reaction. Oh, yes, you and Manager Matsumoto were both there."

"After I rejected his request with my actions, this person has been putting pressure on me in various ways, forcing me to compromise with him. After discussing with Lawyer Fei, I decided to ask him out for a talk to see if there is any other way to resolve the conflict between us."

Next to her, Hibiki Eri said, "I can prove it."

Megure Juzo nodded and motioned for Koizumi to continue.

"Under the coordination of Lawyer Fei, I got the number of Inspector Nakae and called him to arrange a meeting. He insisted on setting the meeting place at his villa in Gaojutai at 8 o'clock in the evening. I didn't have a recorder at hand at the time, and I didn't expect him to make such a weird request, so I'm sorry that there is no recording evidence. But the man should not deny the content of the call, after all, what happened later."

Koizumi's face showed anger and disgust without any concealment.

"I told Attorney Hime the details of the appointment, and she immediately decided to go with me. Then I borrowed a portable recorder from Yoshiaki Aburashi for evidence collection, and Attorney Hime made an appointment with Officer Mori, and they dropped me off near the villa.

"Lawyer Fei and I agreed that I would go to see Inspector Nakae alone first. If I didn't come out of the villa in half an hour, Lawyer Fei would call me to inquire about the situation. If I didn't answer the phone, she would take Officer Maori to check the situation. If she still found any problems, she would call the police."

Kisaki Eri: "That's right, I can prove it."

Maori Kogoro also said helplessly: "That's it."

"I went to Inspector Nakae's villa alone, knocked on the door and started recording."

When he thought about where he found the portable recorder, Megure Jusan coughed lightly in discomfort.

"You should know what happened next from the recording. I apologized to him, but this bastard directly asked me to sleep with him, and even put drugs in the red wine and forced me to drink it. In order to make the conversation go smoothly, I had no choice but to drink a little..."

"Humph!"

Koizumi glanced guiltily at Kisaki Eri who was sitting next to him and shrank his neck.

"…I didn't expect the drug he gave me was so strong. I drank just a little bit and immediately started to feel dizzy. The bastard wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack me, so I fled to the window and tried to stay awake. I had made up my mind that if he continued to force me, I would escape through the window, but I didn't expect that fireworks suddenly started to be set off from somewhere outside. I took advantage of the time when Inspector Nakae's attention was diverted and escaped. Later…"

Koizumi looked at Kisaki Eri with embarrassment and said, "To be honest, I was not fully conscious at that time. I only knew that I ran out of the house, but I don't know what happened afterwards."

Hibiki Eri looked grim. She stood up suddenly and poked Koizumi's forehead hard. "Later, I called you at the agreed time. Luckily, you still had some consciousness to answer the phone and ask for help! When Kogoro and I rushed over, we saw you fainted at the door of the villa. Do you know that I was almost scared to death by you at that time? Why did you have to take the risk? Even if the evidence collection fails this time, as long as the person is fine, there will be another chance! Aren't you a police academy student? What on earth have you learned!"

Koizumi covered his forehead and muttered aggrievedly: "I was fired..."

Hibiki glared: "How dare you talk back!"

Koizumi immediately bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Megure Jusan pondered for a moment and said, "Sakurai, you are the victim, so I shouldn't doubt you. But now Inspector Nakae insists that you are the suspect who attempted to kill him. He suspects that you arranged the fireworks and the sniper. You deliberately pretended to be weak to attract him to the window and used fireworks to attract his attention, so that the sniper had the opportunity to shoot him. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Gin really made perfect use of my arrangements without even notifying me in advance.

Koizumi showed a shocked expression at the right time and stood up suddenly: "Sniper? He was sniped! Hahaha, he deserved it! How come this disgusting scum was not shot to death! "

Kisaki Eri hurriedly helped her up, and only let go when she saw that she was standing steadily.

"You heard the recording, didn't you? You heard it! I'm the twelfth one. There were eleven victims before him! Have you found out who those people are? A mere police inspector in Zhongjiang actually has such a luxurious house. Have you checked his bank account? There is definitely something wrong with this guy!"

Koizumi looked at the evasive looks of the policemen in front of him and said, "...You didn't check. Why didn't you check?"

She roared and wanted to wave her arms to express her anger, but the stabbing pain in her right shoulder restricted her movement.

Xiaoquan groaned in pain. She grabbed her arm tightly and glared at the people in front of her: "If you don't check, I will!"

"Already checking."

At this time, Matsumoto Kiyonaga walked in from outside and said solemnly, "Ms. Sakurai, we have begun investigating Inspector Nakae. His bank accounts, telephone communication records and property status have been listed as key targets for investigation by the investigation team. The Economic Crime Investigation Team will fully cooperate with us to find out whether he is suspected of committing a crime and take appropriate measures."

He paused, then continued, "However, I have to be honest. Investigations take time, and we cannot easily make conclusions about a police chief. We need solid evidence and clues to ensure that the charges against him are accurate. I understand your anger and concerns, but we must follow procedures to ensure the objectivity and fairness of the investigation."

"Please be assured that I will personally oversee this investigation to ensure its transparency and thoroughness. At the same time, I ask that you remain calm and refrain from any private actions that may arouse suspicion."

He glanced at the other colleagues in the room and said with a firm gaze, "As for the eleven victims, we will do everything we can to confirm their identities and ensure their safety."

Megure Jusan and the other policemen in the room all stood at attention and responded loudly in unison, "Yes!"

"……okay, I get it."

Koizumi slowly sat back on the bed. "Since Manager Matsumoto has said so, then let's do this. I will do my best to cooperate with your investigation and hope to find out the truth as soon as possible."
