Monday. Today, something happened that Aoyama Xiu Xin was not interested in, but Kudou Tatsuo was deeply concerned about.
The bar murder case from last week was tried in court today. The murderer, Tanabe, confessed guilt without reservation, voluntarily surrendered, and claimed he did not subjectively intend to kill at the time. Ultimately, the judge sentenced him to fifteen years of imprisonment. Tanabe accepted the sentence in court and waived his right to appeal.
While not a major case, it was still a criminal case and naturally drew media attention, though only lesser reporters were sent to cover it.
After the trial concluded, as Tanabe was being escorted out, reporters outside surged forward immediately.
"Is there anything you would like to say to everyone?"
"Do you regret your impulsive actions at that time?"
"What drove you to flee after the murder, but then turn yourself in the next day..."
