Chapter 11:
Yui
Aku entered the local police station, and said to the sleepy officer on the counter: "a boy was arrested yesterday, he waits for his sentence here. I came to meet him."
"What?" the officer just woke up.
"Someone called Takashima is in one of the cells?" Aku asked again.
"I think" the officer stood up and almost fell to the floor from how tired he was "come with me please."
She followed the officer down the white stairs. Down there under the burnt or flashing weak light bulbs a couple of cells stood, they were all empty except one. In the only non-empty cell sat a single boy with two ties on his neck, one was exactly the color of his eyes and the other one was green-azure. Yui's expression was extremely neutral and he started at the ceiling. Aku and the officer passed near a poster with the text "never leave a visitor without supervision". The officer ignored the poster, he said "have fun" and went upstairs almost falling again. When the two saw the officer go away they started talking.
"What are you doing here?" asked Yui, the weak light made him as sleepy as the officer.
"You have a plan right?" Aku asked, stressed.
"I do, why?" Yui asked, his eyes almost closed.
"Can I help you somehow?" Aku wanted to help Yui to get out of there.
"If you want to help, say you are witnessed and match your story to mine" Yui looked much less sleepier in a mere second and said "come closer, I want to give return you something you forgot."
Once again, the same as in the mall, Aku got closer to the cell, Yui untied his tie and reached Aku’s neck. Aku could feel how cold Yui’s hand was, freezing, yet very loving.
“Are you cold?” Asked Aku.
Yui quickly took his hands off Aku’s neck. “My hands are too cold for you?”
“No no” Aku tried to make Yui comfortable again “please continue.”
Yui continued to tie the tie to Aku’s neck, the second he finished a man came from upstairs.
“Are you a visitor?” he asked Aku.
“Yes, I’m also a witness.” Aku answered.
“If you are a witness please come with me” the man opened the cell and led the two to a police car.
Yui sat on the back and Aku on the front.
“We are going to court right now.” said the policeman.
“Straight to the court. Don’t you need to do a little investigation before?” Aku asked.
“Things are different in this city” said the policeman. “We first go to the court and do a sentence, no lawyers, not anything. If the judge needs further information he sends the involved person to further investigation.”
“How do you know if Takashima was the one to do the murder than?” Aku was confused.
“We found a knife stuck in one of the victim’s hearts, the fingerprint on the handle of the knife was the same as the one on Takashima’s pencils. It will be enough.”
The policeman didn’t liked answering questions “also he is one of the five whos was not in the class.”
Aku stayed quiet, Yui couldn’t hear the conversation because of a transparent screen that separated the front side and the back side of the car.
They finally arrived at the court. It was a big building in beige color, the building had four floors, two rooms on every floor, every room had a big window with a view to the street.
The policeman opened the door on the back, he started walking to the building’s entrance. Yui and Aku followed him. They entered the elevator, Yui wasn’t in one of these for a long time. They entered room #4 which was on the second floor and sat down. Yui sat straight in front of the judge. Aku was the only one in the witness seats. On the other side of the specious room sat a woman, the mother of one of the murdered kids.
“Yui Takashima, accused for murder of 27 children, anything to say for you’re defence?”
So fast? this is not how a sentence works Aku thought to herself.
Another man came and connected Yui to a truth machine.
Tears started to come out of Yui’s eyes, it’s not like him.
“It wasn’t me!” Yui faked his crying “I somehow managed to run with a few of my friends!”
The truth machine didn’t showed any signs of lying. Aku was amazed, Yui’s acting skills are amazing, he fakes crying in seconds and keeps his body the same way as he wasn’t lying.
“Interesting, tell me a little more” the judge didn’t seem convinced.
“We escaped through the window, we felt like the police will be after us so we kept a low profile.” Yui almost choked from his intense fake crying.
“So where are the others?” the judge felt Yui was talking supiceouly.
Yui didn’t think about that part of the story so he needed to make up something quickly.
“We left each other a year ago, I have no clue where they are now” Yui kept crying.
“I see, so, where do you live?” the judge asked.
“I found a forsaken house and I live there, there was some furniture there, I’m a lucky one.” this time Yui didn’t lie.
“You know how much your parents missed you? they thought you died” the judge tried to make Yui feel guilty and reveal he had murdered his classmates.
It’s so annoying… Yui thought to himself “I didn’t want them to see me with bloody clothes.”
“So what happened to the bloody clothes? how did you get money?” the judge didn’t stop asking questions.
“I selled mushrooms I collected from the forest on the main street” sometimes for a good lie, one need to steal someone else’s story “near the main street there is a great forest with a lot of edible mushrooms.” Yui’s nose became red from crying.
“Now we are done with the play time, I will ask you the real question I wanted to ask.” the judge finally got to his point.
Yui’s eyes opened wide “the real… question?”
“Why is your fingerprint found on a knife stuck in one of the victim’s hearts?”
This is it, Yui knew, he had no answer to this question, he is going to jail now.
The two big doors opened loudly and got the attention of everyone in the room.
“The doors were supposed to be locked!” screamed the judge.
In front of the door appeared two human figures.
A little girl aiming a gun at the head of an albino man.
