"Don't panic, notify his family to come and collect the body."
The hot female shop assistant was dumbfounded.
"Shouldn't we try to save it?"
Feng Zejian shook his head.
"I know exactly how hard I kicked him; he's not going to survive."
Feng Zejian walked up to the store manager and wrote down a phone number.
"Manager, you can have the insurance company assess the damage. I'll compensate you tenfold based on the assessed value. Call this number, explain the situation, and they'll transfer the money to you. But before that, I need your cooperation in handing over the surveillance footage to the police. If necessary, please recount the actual events that just happened."
As he spoke, Feng Zejian looked at the others present.
"You may record the video and post it online, but please play the complete video, not just clips. If you distort the facts by taking things out of context, I will pursue your legal responsibilities."
The hot female shop assistant was a little embarrassed.
"Well, I don't really know either. His friends should know his family's phone numbers."
Feng Zejian looked towards the door.
"Those people have long since disappeared."
Feng Zejian moved a chair over and sat in a conspicuous spot to play on his phone.
The hot female shop assistant looked at Feng Zejian's calm demeanor with some confusion.
"Are not you afraid?"
Feng Zejian was somewhat puzzled.
"afraid of what?"
"You've caused someone's death."
Feng Zejian smiled indifferently.
"There are surveillance cameras here, so I'm acting in self-defense. What am I afraid of?"
"But since someone has already died, the situation might be different."
Feng Zejian smiled and shook his head.
"When he pulled out a knife to threaten other people's lives, he should have thought that he himself would lose his life as a result."
A dozen minutes later, the police arrived at the store and, after learning the general outline of the case, took Kaze Sawa away.
Along with them came the sexy female staff and the store manager.
After that, a cordon was set up and the scene was cleaned up.
Kasahara Koji sighed.
A perfectly good date was ruined by a piece of trash.
Reluctantly, he got up and followed along.
In the interrogation room, Feng Zejian was sitting and giving a statement to the police.
The two police officers watched the surveillance footage and clearly saw the cause and effect of the incident.
This matter is not as simple as it seems.
First of all, Feng Zejian is no ordinary person, that's for sure.
He could absolutely crush thugs; he could choose not to kill them.
All the groundwork laid by Feng Zejian was for legitimate self-defense.
But the result was that it was excessive self-defense.
However, legally, the line between legitimate self-defense and excessive self-defense is very blurry.
Moreover, Feng Zejian is a public figure, and no matter how well the police manage the risks, this matter has already swept across the internet like a dam breaking.
If Feng Zejian is found guilty, then a social opinion will spread that even legitimate retaliation is a crime, and that the law is actually protecting criminals.
If Feng Zejian is found not guilty, online public opinion will arise again, suggesting that public figures have special privileges, and that even obvious intentional homicide can go unpunished.
In the wind and marshland, one is already so indifferent to lice and debts that one is no longer worried.
But the police are not.
If Feng Zejian is found guilty, their entire police station will be taken to court.
Previously, Feng Zejian's public opinion control was handled by that top-notch legal team.
It's even said that some of the people inside are top talents who have participated in revising legal provisions.
Can't win, can't win at all.
However, if they side with Feng Zejian, they will also be attacked by Feng Zejian's black traffic.
This is putting the law enforcement agencies in a very difficult position.
In fact, the Fengze incident has become a classic case, even being featured on television and analyzed by professional legislators.
Because of the huge online following of Feng Zejian and the inherent conflict of the case, a wave of debate has swept across the internet.
Was Feng Zejian acting in self-defense or committing intentional homicide?
Two days have passed.
Meanwhile, Feng Zejian was still having tea at the police station.
Although it was said to be temporary detention, the room had air conditioning, tea, a computer, a TV, a bed, and a sofa.
There was no panic in Feng Zejian.
At that moment, the door to the room where Fengze was located opened.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner Hiroko Nagasaki walked in.
Bogu Changji was dressed in a uniform with insignia symbolizing his military rank on his shoulders. He was muscular and about 1.8 meters tall.
"You must be Mr. Kazesawa."
He sipped his tea casually in the breeze.
After taking a sip, he picked up the upside-down teacup, rinsed it with tea, poured another cup, placed it opposite him, and said calmly, "Sit down and let's talk."
Bogu Nagasaki was taken aback. This should be his territory, so why was he acting like the master?
But now that he was at someone else's mercy, Hakuko Nagasaki still sat down opposite Kazesawa.
Feng Zejian said politely, "What is it? Please tell me."
"This matter has caused a huge public uproar, and the deceased's family is also trying to settle things peacefully. We have already paid the compensation for the deceased. You just need to nod and agree, and this matter will be over. The deceased's family will then stand up for you."
Feng Zejian couldn't help but laugh.
“Sir, I can tell that you are no ordinary person, and I also know that my matter has caused you a lot of trouble.”
“I understand that you want to end everything as soon as possible. I am also very touched to hear that you have taken the initiative to assume the responsibility for compensation on my behalf.”
"But sir, have you considered something?"
Hiroko Nagasaki frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure. Could you please explain in more detail?"
“Everyone here is a smart person. If it were just for my reputation, I would have a million ways to downplay this and make it disappear.”
“I don’t lack that money, and it’s not that I don’t want to provide some humanitarian care to the families of the deceased, but now is not the time, and I can’t back down.”
Hiroko Nagasaki sighed.
“Mr. Kaze Sawa, I understand you, but you also need to understand us. As a judicial body, we are in a very difficult position.”
Feng Zejian wore a smile.
“Sir, I have a reason to do this.”
Hiroko Nagasaki narrowed his eyes slightly.
Feng Ze then said:
“I can say with certainty that when he said his last words, I just wanted to kill that person. And when he was motionless, I thought of many solutions. At that moment, I suddenly realized that the meaning behind this matter might not be so simple.”
“You may think my reasons are naive, but I just want to persist in this naivety while I still can. I want to do something for this society and for certain persecuted groups.”
Chapter 426 Bogu's Choice in Nagasaki
“I am not afraid of being accused. I can defend myself without using my resources or connections. I just want everyone to think about this matter.”
"The judiciary is fair, but it is relatively fair, not absolutely fair, so we need to keep trying and making mistakes and constantly improve it."
"For me, this is an opportunity, and even if I fail, it will still be meaningful."
Bogu Nagasaki fell silent. Having reached this position, he understood Kazesawa's meaning better than anyone else.
I also know what he's going to do.
He would never do that if it were himself, but perhaps he would have done it in the past.
Just like those who sacrifice their lives for the sake of justice, some people may think it's not worth it, but such behavior is certainly worthy of respect.
Hiroko Nagasaki came at this time for the benefit of his own group, while Kazesawa was seeking benefits for a relatively large group.
When the two are compared like this, it becomes clear who is more noble.
Hiroko Nagasaki remained silent, making his final decision.
And he made his own choice.
Then, Bogu Nagasaki drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.
“Brother Feng Zejian, you can leave now. I know what to do next.”
Feng Zejian extended his hand and smiled, "Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Hiroko Nagasaki also extended his hand and shook hands with Kazesawa.
After Kazesawa left, Hiroko Nagasaki immediately convened a press conference.
Facing reporters and flashing lights, Hakuko Nagasaki first introduced himself in front of the camera.
"Hello everyone, I am Hiroko Nagasaki, the Commissioner of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and also the person directly in charge of the Kazawama intentional homicide case that has been making headlines online."
"Now I will announce the results of the case regarding the intentional homicide by Kazema in front of the media."
"After reviewing the surveillance video of the scene, the testimonies of witnesses, and the questioning and investigation of the person involved, Feng Zejian, we have unanimously concluded that Feng Zejian acted in self-defense and there was no excessive self-defense or intentional homicide. Now that the person involved, Feng Zejian, has been released, we will not prosecute him or pursue his criminal liability."
At this point, a reporter asked, "Director, in the video circulating online, Feng Zejian clearly had the ability to stop the crime, but he chose to kill him with one blow. Isn't that intentional homicide?"
Bogu Nagasaki smiled and countered, "If someone points a dagger at a policeman with a gun, would the policeman's shooting be considered intentional homicide?"
The reporter then asked, "You're misrepresenting the facts. Feng Zejian is just a public figure, not a police officer."
The reporter's questions were all very sharp, but Nagasaki Hakuguchi was no pushover either.
"Reporter, before answering your question, I'd like to ask you a question: Do you think armed police officers should shoot when facing an armed assailant?"
The reporter was also a seasoned veteran. "Personally, I think it depends on the situation."
"Reporter, you yourself said it depends on the situation. Let me ask you, is it only Feng Zejian and the thug in the video?"
The reporter was momentarily speechless. Nagasaki Hakugo continued, "In the video, Kazema was on the defensive and dodging side. He kept reminding and dissuading the assailant, but the assailant was still relentless and continued to threaten the victim's life. Before this, the assailant had an argument with a woman. Because he accidentally laughed, he transferred his hatred to her."
"Strictly speaking, there was no enmity between the two. However, the perpetrator's actions threatened the victim's life. We have every reason to believe that the perpetrator may have endangered the lives of others. Perhaps the victim did intentionally kill the perpetrator, but the circumstances at the time did not allow for calm reflection."
"I just used the example of armed police officers. Even if they are armed, even if the criminals are holding knives and endangering the lives of the police officers, the police should not fire their guns. But it is different if there are other innocent civilians around. If the criminals are not killed in advance, and the criminals' knives are used to stab innocent civilians, then the police officers will bear the main responsibility for the whole incident."
“The person involved is not a police officer, but the two incidents are exactly the same in nature. There is no question of shifting the focus. Does this mean that only the police have the right to intervene when a criminal is likely to endanger the lives of innocent people?”
"If that's the case, then why is there any need for acts of bravery or self-defense? Does it mean that when faced with a criminal attacking you, you have to consider both your own survival and the criminal's survival? Does the criminal have to actually stab you in the body to prove your innocence?"
Are you questioning the rigor of our approach to the law?
The reporter broke out in a cold sweat.
"I didn't mean that."
Hiroko Nagasaki looked at the others.
