Chapter 142 The Strongest Daughter of the City

"No... that's right."

Ryoichi Takahashi was silent for a long time, and finally confessed his crime feebly:

"I'm the bandaged man who attacked Miss Maury."

"Takahashi...is it really you?" Everyone's expressions were full of surprise.

As the host of the party, Suzuki Ayako, who values ​​the friendship of classmates very much, asked in a very puzzled way:

"Takahashi, Miss Maori doesn't know you at all."

"Why did you kill her?"

"Because Miss Maori accidentally broke into Takahashi's room in the afternoon."

Before Takahashi Ryoichi answered, Lin Xinyi gave the answer:

"Takahashi is worried that she will see his real body shape, and let his murderous conspiracy come to light today—"

"So, before officially executing the murder plan, he is going to remove this 'obstacle' first."

Although Lin Xinyi didn't know the whole picture of Takahashi's murder plan, in his opinion...

Ryo Takahashi disguised himself as a fat man, mostly to use the difference in size between himself and the bandage monster to rule out his suspicion of committing the crime.

That being the case, Mao Lilan, who may see his true size, has become his greatest threat.

Regarding this, Lin Xinyi could only be speechless:

This guy has already been bumped into by Mao Lilan by accident, and he is still thinking of continuing to use some murder trick to pretend to be a fat man.

What are you doing with all this fancy stuff?

In this kind of barren mountains and ridges, people are directly pushed down the mountain, and then come back and tell everyone that the victim stumbled and fell off the cliff...

Based on the investigation capabilities of the Metropolitan Police Department, 100% of them will be fooled by accident.

Simple and crude methods are the most difficult to decipher. Ryoichi Takahashi's methods seem clever, but in fact they are extremely stupid.

Lin Xinyi sighed in his heart, and continued to reveal Takahashi Ryoichi's secret:

"In short, Miss Mori is just an obstacle that Ryoichi Takahashi encountered unexpectedly."

"Mr. Takahashi tried his best to create a scene of the Bandage Monster today. The one who wants to kill is not Mao Lilan, but..."

Lin Xinyi turned his head and looked at Chikako Ikeda:

"Miss Ikeda!"

"What..." Tomokako Ikeda's eyes filled with horror: "Takahashi wants to kill me? Why, why..."

"Why? Hehe..."

Ryoichi Takahashi, who had remained silent after pleading guilty, suddenly sneered:

"Ikeda! You know what you have done to your conscience!"

"Aren't you the one who killed Atsuko?"

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing Atsuko's name, Chikako Ikeda trembled like an electric shock:

"Atsuko committed suicide, she committed suicide, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Yes, Atsuko did commit suicide..."

Ryoichi Takahashi's cheeks gradually distorted in hatred:

"However, you caused her suicide!"

"It's all you, 'famous writer', 'famous screenwriter', Ms. Chikako Ikeda who has achieved fame..."

"You plagiarized Atsuko's "Azure Kingdom" written with exhaustion and took everything from her!"

""Azure Kingdom"? This name..."

"This name sounds similar to Chikako's famous work "The Blue Kingdom"."

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and they all faintly realized something.

Suzuki Ayako looked at her former friend with disbelief:

"Chikako, you, your famous work...could it be plagiarized from Atsuko?"

"To shut up!"

Chikako Ikeda yelled viciously.

Now she has completely lost the demeanor of that famous writer, but looks like an ugly vampire exposed to the sun:

"I didn't...I didn't plagiarize!"

"Atsuko wrote "Azure Kingdom". Has she published this book?"

"Except for Takahashi, does any of you know that she wrote this book?"

"Also, even if you can get the original manuscript of the so-called "Azure Kingdom"... how can you prove that the original manuscript is not forged, and it was not written after me?!"

Ikeda Chikako refused to admit that she had plagiarized.

Plagiarism is inherently difficult to determine, and the original author Dunzi hanged himself quietly after being plagiarized without making a statement or defending his rights.

There is no proof of death, so Ikeda Chikako simply insisted on brazenly:

"Am I copying a dead man?"

"Takahashi, I think you are out of your mind and crazy... Yes, you are crazy!"

"A lunatic who is so crazy that he kills people, how can he believe what he says?!"

Her voice was very loud, but everyone could hear her guilt, her anger, and hysteria.

Suzuki Ayako and others were shocked by the ugliness shown by this old classmate.

Ryoichi Takahashi was completely irritated by the attitude of this shameless plagiarist:

"Yes, yes...I can't prove that you plagiarized now."

"But so what?"

"What I want is not your confession and apology, what I want is you... to pay for Atsuko's death!"

At this moment, Takahashi only has madness in his eyes.

Thinking of Atsuko who committed suicide in pain, and Ikeda who was still alive and well, he couldn't breathe with hatred.

"Give me death!"

Ryoichi Takahashi suddenly lifted his clothes and pulled out a short knife from his "big belly":

"I will make you pay in blood today!"

As soon as the words fell, he raised the dagger that was flickering with cold light, and...

Lin Xinyi knocked him to the ground:

"Enough, Takahashi."

"You have already committed the crime of 'attempted murder', don't be obsessed with it, and make the same mistake again and again!"

"Wrong again and again? I'm not wrong!!"

Takahashi struggled frantically under Lin Xinyi:

"It was Ikeda who was wrong, she should be damned!"

"I want to avenge Atsuko. I am the messenger of justice who judges the sinners. I am not wrong!"

"It's wrong to break the law!"

Lin Xinyi easily snatched the knife from Takahashi's hand, and his attitude didn't change at all:

"Besides, if you really just want to avenge Atsuko, I can still look up to you."

"But what did you do?"

"It's just because I'm worried that my murder conspiracy will be exposed, and I'm worried about being punished by the law..."

"You can raise the butcher knife and kill a weak girl who has nothing to do with this matter and is unarmed!"

Looking at Takahashi's gloomy and distorted face, he scolded in a cold tone:

"Messenger of justice? Bah!"

"You're just an ugly murderer!"

These words penetrated deeply into Takahashi's heart and completely shattered his self-absorbed excuse.

He gave up struggling, collapsed powerlessly to the ground, and finally pleaded guilty.

But the hatred still lingers in Takahashi's heart, which makes him unable to let go:

"Yes...I'm guilty...What about Ikeda?"

"She killed Atsuko by means of plagiarism, she is also a murderer, why didn't you arrest her?!"

Lin Xinyi suddenly fell silent:

From an emotional point of view, he also felt that Chikako Ikeda's actions were disgusting and sinful.

But from a legal standpoint...

If the perpetrator commits a certain criminal act and causes others to commit suicide, the key depends on whether there is a causal relationship between the illegal act and the suicide.

Judging the causal relationship depends on whether the perpetrator's criminal behavior has a high probability relationship with suicide.

Generally, only serious crimes such as abuse, illegal imprisonment, insult and defamation, deceitful suicide, etc., are considered to have a high probability relationship and bear responsibility for suicide.

But Zhijiazi Ikeda plagiarized Atsuko's work, and Atsuko hanged himself.

Is there a high probability relationship between the two?No.

Does it constitute the indirect principal criminal of intentional homicide?Does not constitute.

Works are plagiarized, most people will not take the extreme path of suicide.

It is really impossible to grit your teeth and endure the past, live well, there are infinite possibilities in the future.
