Chapter 29: Confession
"Hokage-Sama, you heard it too."
"Hey, did you managed to catch Uchiha Meinai?"
"Before you came to the interrogation room, she was already locked in the interrogation room."
"Are you going to start the interrogation now?"
"Let's go."
The two of them left the room and went to the room next door where Uchiha Meinai was imprisoned.
At this time, Uchiha Meinai sat on the chair, her was face full of fear and restlessness.
"Bang!"
Ryo Yamanaka also walked into the interrogation room and sat in front of Uchiha Meinai expressionlessly. He began to interrogate her.
"Tell me the details of yesterday's event. If you confess, you may be able to get a light punishment."
"You should know that Uchiha Tunan wanted to take the blame for you today, but his lies were too clumsy and I saw through them."
"If you don't confess, then I can only do things according to the law and put him to death. "
"Ryo Yamanaka also made a small lie in order to give Uchiha Meinai pressure."
"Tunan... does he want to die for me...?"
"No, I don't want to do this. I was the one who killed her. It has nothing to do with Tunan."
Obviously, Uchiha Meinai was not so complicated. When she heard what Ryo Yamanaka said, she was becoming more and more nervous.
"Why did you kill Hyuga Chiryu?"
"I... I'm sorry. I was impulsive."
"Answer my question. Why did you kill Hyuga Chiryu?"
"She killed my pet cat first and seduced Tunan with her naked body. I was too angry at that time."
"Your..... pet?"
"Yes it was the cat Tunan gave me. It is also the first gift he gave me."
Ryo Yamanaka also quickly wrote down the motive of the crime in the notebook. He nodded with satisfaction and said,
"Very good. Let's start from yesterday. Don't miss anything. You can't hide it from me."
"Yesterday..."
Soon, Uchiha Meinai told him what happened in her memory.
Ryo Yamanaka also frowned and said in a low voice, "We're done here."
"Yes."
Uchiha Meinai nodded, her eyes was full of despair.
Tunan, thank you for your kindness. But I will bear the responsibility of my own actions.
Ryo also left the interrogation room with the statement and came to Sarutobi.
"Hokage-sama, according to the confession of Uchiha Meinai, she really killed Hyuga Chiryu."
"This is the statement, please check it."
Sarutobi took the statement and carefully looked at it.
The motive, process, and the description of the crime scene were exactly the same.
"Well, there should be no mistake."
Ryo hesitated for a moment, but still voiced out the doubts in his heart.
"But I feel that something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head in confusion.
"I don't know. I can't say for sure. It's just my intuition."
"She killed her classmates. According to the rules of the village, she will be executed anyway, so if you still have a doubt you can check her memory."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Ryo Yamanaka also responded, and was about to order someone to check Uchiha Meinai's memory.
"Wait a moment. I'll go talk to Tunan first and ask for his opinion."
"Yes."
This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi also saw Uchiha Tunan's position in his heart.
Asking for his opinion.
Could it be that Uchiha Tunan said that he wouldn't let us check his memories?
Or, as long as Uchiha Tunan insisted on pleading,
Would the Hokage protect a death sentence for him?
Hiss ---
A little kid from Uchiha's clan actually had such a heavy weight.
In the interrogation room, Uchiha Tunan had his hands in his hair, and he looked depressed and dispirited.
"Tunan." Sarutobi quietly walked into the interrogation room, came to Uchiha Tunan's side, and gently patted his shoulder.
Uchiha Tunan raised his head and looked at the kind and kind Sarutobi in front of him, as if he had seen his family, and his eyes flashed with tears.
He hugged Sarutobi and cried,
"Hokage sama, I... uh..."
The corners of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth curved up slightly. He sighed and said,
"Child, I know what you are thinking, but there are some things that we can not change."
"...."
"Meinai has confessed. According to the rules of the village, she must be executed."
"This way, we can give the villagers and the Hyuga Clan an explanation."
Uchiha Tunan was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief and said,
"Will I die?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer directly. He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively,
"After all, the deceased is from the Hyuga clan, not your Uchiha's internal affairs. No one can be biased."
"Tunan, I hope you can understand. "
Hiruzen Sarutobi already had a plan in his heart. If Uchiha Tunan insisted on protecting Uchiha Meinai.
Hiruzen Sarutobi could only use other methods to secretly protect Uchiha Meinai.
In this way, Uchiha Tunan would definitely be grateful and work wholeheartedly for him.
However, this method would sacrifice many benefits and would affect his authority to a certain extent.
At this moment, Uchiha Tunan stopped crying and slowly stood up. He wiped his tears and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi,
"I know, governing the village is the foundation of the village."
"I'm sorry, Hokage Sama, I was foolish before."
"Please forgive my selfishness."
After that, he put his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to Sarutobi.
It seems that the village and I have a much higher position in his heart than that little girl.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly happy in his heart. It was naturally great that he could solve this matter without using special methods.
Moreover, with the death of Uchiha Meinai, Uchiha Tunan completely lost his family and love.
At that time, he would be his only soul lodging.
Very good, very perfect.
It's fine. After all, you are still young and not mature enough.
I hope that you won't be dissatisfied with the village because of Meinai.
Uchiha Tunan took a deep breath and shook his head firmly.
"No, it's her own fault. No one else can blame her."
I'm not the kind of person who can't tell right from wrong.
Sarutobi nodded and said,
"Because it concerns life, and she is about to be executed, the interrogation department needs to check her memory."
Uchiha Tunan's heart sank, and he knew that things were not good.
On the surface, he said with a pained expression, "Will it affect her body?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, but he still answered honestly,
"The longer the investigation were carried out then then chance of it affecting her mentality would also be bigger."
"Fortunately, it hasn't been too long since the case. I only need to investigate yesterday's memories. There shouldn't be any problems."
"However, this process might be a little painful."
Uchiha Tunan closed his eyes sadly and said in a hoarse voice,
"She must be very scared right now. As her boyfriend, I want to accompany her."
If something happens during the investigation, I can remedy it in time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally would not refuse such a simple request. He immediately nodded and said,
"Okay."
