Chapter 213 Execution
She wasn't afraid of going to jail, or even the death penalty, but this scumbag who destroyed a family, almost ruined her teaching career, and squandered the prime of an innocent little girl's life had to die!
When Ran saw what Akiko Yonehara had done, there was nothing she didn't understand. This teacher she had admired since childhood was no longer the same. Once someone had killed someone, there was no going back.
Tears welled up in Ran's eyes. Even if she were dragged into this, Ran wouldn't say anything. But Akiko Yonehara shouldn't have involved Sonoko.
Akutagawa Hiko was prepared to intervene, as were Conan, Hattori Heiji, and even Toyama Kazuha. In short, no matter why Yonehara Akiko committed murder, they couldn't let her continue.
but--
Akutagawa Hiko suddenly lowered his raised hand, also stopping the others.
Conan was somewhat puzzled until she saw Ran kick Akiko Yonehara's wrist, and the knife spun and stuck into the ceiling, probably difficult to pull out.
Ran's voice trembled as she fought back tears: "Why—why? We—everyone—used to admire and respect you so much, yet you killed someone and attacked Sonoko!!"
Akiko Yonehara gripped her wrist, momentarily lost in thought, unsure how to answer the question posed by her former student.
Ran was a little out of control at the moment, and Akutagawa Hiko slapped Conan on the head before he could say anything. Fortunately, Sonoko woke up at that moment.
"error--"
Seeing Ran crying, Sonoko instantly snapped out of her daze, grabbing Ran's arms and shaking her violently: "You know now, Ran, right? Yonehara-sensei was murdered in her room, and then the killer attacked her from behind—."
Before she could finish speaking, Sonoko Suzuki was grabbed and hugged by Ran Mouri: "Sonoko, Ms. Yonehara—she murdered someone!!"
Sonoko Suzuki was a little stunned by Ran's words, and then turned her attention to the others.
On the teachers' side, Ms. Yonehara lowered her head, rubbing her swollen wrist without saying a word, while Mr. Shimoda collapsed to the ground, terrified and at a loss. The other two teachers stood motionless, also at a loss.
On the detective team's side, Akutagawa Hiko looked regretful, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha seemed to only have a vague understanding, and Conan's performance was unimportant.
Mr. Subaru Okiya, who joined halfway through, looked quite distressed, while the annoying reporter was beaming with the joy of having stumbled upon a major news story.
"What...what on earth is going on?!"
======
After Akutagawa Hiko explained the whole story, Suzuki Sonoko looked enlightened and then patted Yonehara Akiko on the shoulder: "I forgive you, teacher. You didn't intend to do anything to me. Although your method was wrong, it was to avenge Minako."
Sonoko Suzuki didn't seem to care much about the attack, especially since she was only drugged and there was no intention to kill her. Ran was too kind. It was just a pity that Yonehara-sensei got herself involved.
After listening to Sonoko's words, Ran's mood improved significantly.
As for Shimoda Kohei, when he heard Akutagawa Hiko say that he and the deceased Sugiyama-sensei had collaborated to kill Minako because the students found out about their backdoor dealings, he absolutely refused to admit it.
"Don't talk nonsense! How could I kill my own student? She couldn't bear the academic pressure and hanged herself. If you say that again, I'll sue you for defamation!"
When Akiko Yonehara heard him say this, her anger intensified, and she looked like she was about to make a move, but was stopped by a group of people.
"You crazy woman! You attacked Professor Sugiyama and even tried to attack me because of some fabricated story you heard from who-knows-where! You'll be spending the rest of your life in jail!!"
After uttering a harsh remark, Kohei Shimoda, unable to bear the sight of Akiko Yonehara's eyes reddened with anger, ran away feeling guilty and hid in his room, intending to wait until the police arrested him before coming out.
It happened three years ago. No matter how hard you investigate, you can't trace it back to him. You might even get some compensation. With those two meddlesome detectives around, Akiko Yonehara won't have a chance to harm him.
Who knows, he might even use this opportunity to promote himself. Once he's famous, why would he still be a teacher? Can money from backdoor deals really come as fast as selling books and giving lectures?!
At that time, that crazy woman Akiko Yonehara will only be able to watch him enjoy his glory from prison, and can only rage helplessly.
"Hahahaha!"
Just as Kohei Shimoda was envisioning a wonderful future, the room suddenly went dark, the surroundings became incredibly empty, and the whole world seemed to consist only of red and black.
Looking up, he saw that the ceiling was no longer the familiar one. Under the cover of night, there were no stars or moon, only two large, flowing black cherry blossom-patterned moon-colored eyes watching him from the sky.
At the same time, a young man whose face was obscured, dressed in a black robe with red clouds, walked slowly toward him, holding a sharp blade.
When he met those eyes, Shimoda Kohei was terrified, because the eyes in the newcomer's sockets were exactly the same as the eyes in the sky that had replaced the sun and moon!
Now he could no longer fail to realize that this was a supernatural figure he could never have offended or encountered in his entire life. He tried to beg for mercy, but felt a sharp pain.
A muscular, highly flexible piece of meat detached from his mouth, and a jet of blood spurted out as soon as he opened his mouth. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with terror.
Just as he was about to get away from the madman, the flat ground suddenly rose up, and a black wooden cross rose from the ground, with chains binding his limbs, leaving him nowhere to escape.
"Next comes the execution. Within twenty-four hours, no matter what torture you endure, you will remain conscious and will not die under any circumstances. Atone for your crimes—"
The young man's cold voice seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. Shimoda Kohei felt a chill run down his spine, and even the excruciating pain in his mouth could not bring any warmth to his icy blood.
Once the execution began, Kohei Shimoda's only thought was that it might not be so bad if he were killed by Akiko Yonehara early on, just like Sugiyama.
Akutagawa Hiko held a cup of hot tea, his legs crossed, his eyes slightly closed, the rising steam concealing his expression.
Although it wasn't his first time killing someone, this was the first time he had tortured someone like this. This illusion was a weakened version of Tsukuyomi. Although it was far inferior to Tsukuyomi, it had the advantage of being able to learn it.
If classified by level, it would probably be ranked as an A-level secret technique, one of the few powerful techniques he developed himself.
