Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 480 Death penalty! Death penalty! Death penalty for all!!! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Very good……"

After taking a quick glance at Moriya Teiji, who was standing beside her with a stunned look of disbelief on his face, and the rescue workers who were constantly transferring the affected people out of the Beika Municipal Building, Mouri Ran breathed a sigh of relief and her tense nerves relaxed at once.

Great, the explosion didn't happen!

Although she believed in her boyfriend's judgment, after all, this time it involved something as dangerous as a bomb, so she couldn't help but worry.

Fortunately, this time, her boyfriend was as supportive as ever.

Thinking of this, she was about to say something, but she noticed a familiar short figure beside her.

After taking a closer look, who else could it be but Conan?

- After successfully avoiding the crisis of the bomb explosion, the rescue workers, who had been reminded by Conan, knew that there were many disaster victims trapped on the fifth floor. They decisively gathered enough people and launched the rescue work.

Using rock drilling tools and the concerted efforts of several people, the rescue workers finally moved the fallen rocks at the emergency passage, pried open the door of the emergency passage that had been deformed and twisted by the explosion, and then transferred the victims trapped inside to a safe area outside the building.

While the people who had escaped death were either taking out their cell phones to report their safety to relatives and friends, or looking for doctors on the scene for treatment according to their injuries, Conan also treated his own wounds.

"Conan!"

Looking at the dirty Conan, a complex look flashed in Mao Lilan's beautiful eyes.

As smart as she is, how could she not understand that the reason her childhood sweetheart became like this was because she misunderstood that she was trapped in the Beika Municipal Building, so she risked her life and sneaked into the Beika Municipal Building, which could explode and collapse at any time, to try to rescue her.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel touched.

Of course, although she is touched, she will not fall in love with someone else and fall in love with her childhood sweetheart.

The reason is simple.

Because her heart has long been occupied by her boyfriend, and there is no room for anyone else.

Even if that person is her childhood sweetheart, Kudo Shinichi, who she grew up with and has known for more than ten years.

Moreover, it was not that she was prejudiced against her childhood sweetheart, but after going through so many things, she had long realized one thing, that is, in the other person's heart, the most important thing was always the case.

Apart from this, other people and things are always secondary.

Otherwise, the other party would not have left her there and ignored her just to solve the case, and it happened not just once or twice, but at least a dozen times.

"Are you worried about me too, so you came to see me?"

Conan put his hands in his pockets and nodded gently, "Yeah, that's right."

It’s a pity that his Xiaolan was not on the fifth floor, so he made a wasted trip.

However, it’s better if he’s not here.

Because, if he had not received timely reminder from Bai Ye about the bomb specially designed by Teiji Moriya, he would have really made a wrong judgment and killed all the victims trapped in the Beika Municipal Building!

Well, this includes himself!

"Huh? Why are you so dirty?" Mao Lilan bent down slightly, "And what's with that bandage?"

"Ah..." Touching his head, Conan said, "I just accidentally fell down!"

Of course, the story about falling was a lie. The truth was that he had accidentally sustained these injuries when he was dodging the rubble that fell from the ceiling due to the explosion and vibration.

However, he definitely couldn't tell this to Mao Lilan.

Because this would easily make Mao Lilan worry. It would be bad if the other party kept an eye on him all the time and didn't let him run around.

Of course, he could actually put all the blame on his brother Shinichi.

For example, he was accidentally injured because he was cooperating with his brother Shinichi's rescue plan.

But he is not a moron, so how could he betray his brother Shinichi like this?

After all, the so-called Shinichi brother is not really his brother, but just himself.

If he put the blame on Kudo Shinichi today, then when he regained his true form, he would probably be beaten up by his childhood sweetheart.

"Is that so? Then you must be more careful next time, understand?"

Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, then pretended to ask casually: "By the way, Conan, have you seen Shinichi?"

Hearing this, Conan pretended to look around for a while, then pretended to be confused and said, "Strange, he was clearly here just now!"

Mao Lilan looked at him deeply and pursed her pink lips, "Leaving again? I even bought a gift for him!"

Conan scratched his head and laughed dryly, "That-... Shinichi brother didn't mean it. He had to leave because of something urgent."

When he said this, Conan paused, and used his current small account to frantically improve his big account's favor in front of Mao Lilan, "By the way, he left only after he saw that you, Xiaolan, were safe and sound."

"Is that so?"

Mao Lilan glanced at him dimly, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes, "Did he say when he would be back?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, "That's not what he said, but I think as long as Shinichi solves the case, he will definitely come back."

"is it?"

Mao Lilan narrowed her eyes, with an inexplicable look on her face, "I understand..."

As for what she knew, Conan didn't know and didn't dare to ask.

……

Patting Kogoro Maori who was beside him with tears in his eyes because his daughter was safe, Officer Megure sighed, "Oh, it's great that Xiaolan is safe this time! Brother Maori!"

After knowing Kogoro Mori for so many years, he had long regarded his daughter, Ran Mori, as his own real nephew.

His own juniors are facing dangers that are life-threatening. As an elder, how can he not be worried and anxious?

It can be said that when Maori Ran was trapped in the Beika Municipal Building and faced a bomb crisis, Maori Kogoro couldn't help wanting to strangle the culprit of all this, Moriya Teiji, and he had similar thoughts in his heart. Unfortunately, due to his duties as a police officer and in order to protect the image and reputation of the police, he not only could not take action against Moriya Teiji, but also had to prevent Maori Kogoro from venting his anger on him.

It's impossible to say that he didn't feel aggrieved.

Fortunately, Bai Ye's appearance not only helped him vent his anger, but also resolved the danger facing Mao Lilan.

Thinking of this, Inspector Megure subconsciously glanced at Bai Ye, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

I have to say that his younger brother brought him a lot of surprises today.

No, it would be better to say that from the moment he met the other person, the other person has always been bringing him surprises.

Well, there is one more credit after another.

To some extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that the other party is his lucky star.

However, aren't they a little too close to Mao Lilan? It feels like they are not just ordinary friends.

Regarding this point, when he meets Sato Miwako, should he mention this to her?
After thinking for a while, Inspector Megure shook his head and rejected the idea.

Forget it, let the young people solve their own problems. As an old man, he should not meddle in them.

Moreover, he believed that his brother Bai Ye would be sensible about this matter!
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Maori Kogoro stood up straight with a grateful look on his face, "Yes... Thank you so much this time!"

When he said this, Maori Kogoro paused and cast his gaze towards Bai Ye who was standing next to Maori Ran, with a complicated look in his eyes, "And you, Bai Ye!"

"This time, it's really all thanks to you!"

Although he was a little uneasy about the fact that his daughter had been going out with Bai Ye from time to time recently, thanks to the other party, he took his daughter to other places to play today and did not set foot in the cinema.

Otherwise, he might have been separated from his precious daughter today.

Thinking of this, he was about to say some more words of gratitude when suddenly a lot of microphones and cameras appeared from the side, "Hello, could you please say a few words..."

It was the TV reporters who had been waiting near the Beika Municipal Building. They recognized him as the famous Maori Kogoro and pointed their cameras at him.

"The Great Detective Maori..."

Noticing this, Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, and then began to accept interviews from the media. "To be honest, the main reason for this explosion is that the suspect wanted to ruin my reputation as a famous detective, Maori Kogoro. That's why he set up my daughter Xiaolan and tried to make her fall into his trap..."

……

Because the series of cases caused by Teiji Moriya had such a huge impact, after the rescue work was completed, the police immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with Teiji Moriya.

After all, a famous architect actually committed such a crime. In addition, many innocent people were affected by the explosion. It must not be dealt with casually. We need to use legal means to give an explanation to the innocent people affected by the explosion and the entire society.

Because of this,
The person in charge of the legal trial of Teiji Moritani was none other than Eri Kisaki, a lawyer with a 100% winning rate who was known as the "undefeated queen of the legal world."

This was also a public trial broadcast live on television.

However, the trial in court was just a formality.

Because, Moritani Teiji's fate is already determined, and that is the death penalty!

——In Japan, the conditions for applying the death penalty are very strict.

In Japan's judicial practice, the death penalty is usually applied when the perpetrator has killed two or more people, that is, when the harmful consequences are extremely serious, or when there is only one victim but the nature of the crime is very bad and the means of committing the crime are extremely cruel.

For example, intentional homicide, robbery resulting in death, use of explosives, civil strife and foreign aggression.

Watching the report on TV, a cold look flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.

He was not surprised that this guy, Teiji Moriya, would end up being sentenced to death.

After all, the other party not only committed the crime of explosion, but also committed arson of buildings and murder.

These three crimes are all punishable by death.

It is not surprising that Teiji Moriya was directly sentenced to death for the three crimes.

However, being sentenced to death is one thing, but it does not mean that Moritani Teiji has no way out.

In Japan, courts typically take into account the severity of the crime and the number of victims when sentencing to death.

However, according to the law, even if a criminal is sentenced to death, he or she has a long appeal process to complete after the verdict. Even if all appeal opportunities are exhausted, the execution order must be signed by the Minister of Justice before it can be carried out.

However, due to political views or other personal reasons, most justice ministers are generally unwilling to act as executioners and refuse to sign execution orders, resulting in very few cases of actual executions in Japan.

Generally speaking, the number of people executed in Japan each year is in the single digits, and in some years no criminals are even executed.

The so-called death penalty is mostly used as a "symbolic punishment" in Japan.

'Symbolic punishment' means that the death penalty has not been completely eradicated, but it is not used as a regular punishment alongside other punishments. The death penalty is rarely used and is merely symbolic.

In addition, the "retrial system" stipulated in Japan's Criminal Procedure Law gives criminals too many rights to appeal, so as long as the criminals do not want to be executed, they can keep filing appeals or requests for pardon for various reasons in order to delay the execution of the death penalty. Many death row prisoners who were sentenced to death but not executed eventually died of old age in prison, which makes Japan's death penalty more like an absolute life sentence.

In other words, as long as Teiji Moritani does not want to be executed, and keeps filing appeals or requests for pardons for various reasons, he can delay the execution of his death sentence in this way. If he finds enough reasons, he can even live to die of natural causes!

And this is obviously something that Bai Ye does not want to see.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye narrowed his eyes.

Because he had just been sentenced, Moriya Teiji is currently being detained in a detention center affiliated with the Metropolitan Police Department, and will not be taken to prison until tomorrow.

If you want to get rid of the other party, then the escort process is the best time to take action.

However, before that, we must first figure out the escort route.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and he had an idea in his mind...
