The police car drove all the way, and there was no plot like in the novel about a righteous hero robbing a prison car. Kazuya was safely sent to the police station. Because he was only sixteen years old and a student at school, he received some preferential treatment: he was locked in an interrogation room alone, and a young female police officer accompanied him. She took notes and monitored the entire process.
The current situation is unclear, and the police are very cautious in this regard for fear of gaining a reputation for abusing minors. Of course, because of the unknown situation, he was still handcuffed to prevent him from violently injuring others or harming himself.
Kazuya cooperated with the police investigation and answered all questions, but he insisted that he was acting in self-defense. It was the Kameda family who broke into his room first and attempted to commit murder, so he was forced to fight back.
The policewoman recorded it truthfully. It is all too common for everyone involved in a case to seek a favorable version of events. She obviously didn't believe it. Even if it was self-defense, she had never seen someone go all the way from the fourth floor to the main road. That was a hundred meters short.
She didn't leave even after taking down the notes. She stayed here with Kazuya, waiting for the hospital's injury assessment. This kind of case would ultimately be characterized by this, whether it is a security case or a criminal case.
There was silence in the inquiry room for a while, both of them waiting patiently. Not long after, someone sent a report to the policewoman, and also brought a dinner to Kazuya, a teriyaki chicken cutlet bento. Regardless of the meat, it is actually not expensive at all. However, the police station cannot feed him too well, otherwise it will be suspected of eliciting a confession if it is photographed by surveillance cameras. Of course, they can't starve him or give him chaff, as that would be suspected of forcing a confession.
The police are also in a difficult situation, and they are also afraid that the media will get involved. The Japanese media have no integrity and will do anything for the sake of news under the guise of the people's right to know. Once they become interested, the situation is likely to be like a stray dog that has escaped the reins.
Kazuya was not polite when he had food. He thanked her directly and started to fill his stomach. He also asked the policewoman to pour him a glass of water. She gave him water and then read the report. Judging from the current investigation report, both parties insist on their own opinions. Kazuya said that the Kameda family broke into the house trespassing, but the only witness was Yoko, who was not yet an adult. Although the Kameda family admitted that they were looking for trouble with Kazuya, they said they did not want to hit Kazuya, but just went there to negotiate. Instead, it was Kazuya who hit them first, and they were self-defense.
She had seen this kind of nonsense a lot, so she asked gently according to the rules: "Matsuoka, the other party wants to mediate. Are you willing to accept police mediation?"
Kazuya was slightly relieved. When the police asked for mediation, it was a public security case. In fact, he didn't want to make the matter a big deal. For bullies like the Kameda family, killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred would be considered a loss for himself.
He asked: "What do they want?"
This policewoman was very young. She probably just became a police officer and was just a patrol officer. After all, this was not a major case and there was no need for a senior police officer. But now she saw Kazuya's calm look, which is a bit gloomy and felt it amazing. When a young man entered the police station, he was always careful no matter whether he was wrong or right. This one was good, just like at home, he ate and drank when he should, and did not show any flinch in his speech and behavior.
She was thinking about it and said: "Compensation for medical expenses, lost work expenses, nursing expenses, nutritional expenses, and a certain amount of compensation. The compensation is about five times the medical expenses. Do you agree?"
Still not hitting hard enough? They dare to ask for money? Kazuya raised his eyebrows, feeling faintly unhappy again. He refused angrily, "I have no money, so I don't accept mediation. But can I know how injured they are?"
The policewoman did not hide it. People involved in such public security cases have the right to know. She confessed and advised: "Currently, six people have minor injuries of the first degree, three have minor injuries of the second degree, and four have minor injuries." The injury is a private prosecution case. If Kazuya does not accept mediation, the other party can sue him for intentional injury, which will escalate the situation. If the other party wins the lawsuit, not only will you still have to compensate, but at least he will be suspended.
Kazuya nodded silently, this was not much different from what he expected. Legally speaking, disability is not judged by how much blood is shed, how scary it looks, or how painful the beating is, but whether it has caused permanent damage to the body, such as a bloody head or a common concussion. It's like a first-degree minor injury. The nose bone was shattered into a comminuted fracture, which is only a second-degree minor injury...
It's a pity that the original owner is already over sixteen years old. It would be better if he was under fourteen years old. According to Japan's "Juvenile Act", for things like today, even if he beat Kameda family to death for a person under the age of fourteen, it would probably be nothing, and he might not even have to go to jail. But this will not work if you are over 16 years old. Originally, Japan rarely sentenced the death penalty, and if it was sentenced, it could basically be postponed until the sentence was changed.
Of course, if he is under the age of fourteen, the police will probably not talk to him, but will directly trouble his guardian. When he came in, the policewoman asked him if he wanted his guardian to come right away. Later, she found out that he was from Tottori Prefecture and was too far away from here, and the situation was unknown at the time, so she ignored calling his parents in advance.
After thinking for a moment, Kazuya lowered his head and said, "I want to apply for legal aid and sue Jiro Kameda for trespassing into a house."
Let's start wrangling! He lowered his head to avoid showing the anger in his eyes. The other party was obviously a scoundrel. Seeing the police intervene, he became emboldened and wanted to get more benefit.
The policewoman said warmly: "I will help you apply, but most of the lawyers assigned by the government have just started practicing and their quality is not good. Based on the current situation, I suggest that you ask your relatives or teachers to come forward to find one. A good lawyer will try his best to win the case so as not to leave a stain on the file... Your parents are both in Tottori Prefecture and can't come at the moment. Do you need me to help you contact the teacher at the school?"
The Kameda family had a very bad reputation in this area, and they are considered regular visitors to the police station. The policewoman knew exactly what kind of scum they were, and Kazuya was also a gentle handsome man. In fact, she sympathized with Kazuya in her heart, but the law is the law. After all, it is Kameda's group who are lying in the hospital to assess their injuries. The police were there to maintain public order and didn't care what was right or wrong.
There was only so much she can do. She was not optimistic about Kazuya's real lawsuit. Even if he defended himself, he was over-defending and was indeed suspected of intentional injury. According to the investigation report, Kazuya chased him four floors up and more than hundred meters away. He continued to beat the other party even after he had already intended to escape and lost the ability to resist. This went far beyond the scope of legitimate defense.
Kazuya glanced at the policewoman and felt a little grateful. This policewoman had already thought about him very carefully. She was also concerned about his future and did not directly bring the matter to the school. Instead, she patiently asked for his opinion.
He didn't want to notify the school. Who knew what the school's reaction would be. What if he was labeled as a trash student? What should he do if he was not allowed to enter the advanced-class?
But he didn't want to notify the original owner's parents because he felt uncomfortable facing them. He usually only sent emails occasionally to express that the original owner was fine and didn't have to worry. He really didn't know how to deal with this complicated relationship.
He was a standard foreigner from the inside out, so it was very troublesome to deal with these things. If he was given ten or twenty years to develop, he might slove this event without even speaking a word, just a look. But it was not easy to do now.
He thought there for a while and asked the policewoman: "Can you give me my mobile phone? I want to make a call."
If he had any adult acquaintance in this city, it would be Naotaka Sakura. But he was not sure whether he would help. After all, their relationship was just employment relationship.
