The Special Investigation Department's Coerced Confession

Shiraishi had shown the Special Investigation Department some courtesy as well.

Although he could not let them take the suspect away with a single Arrest Warrant, he allowed them to question Kiriyama inside the police station.

Besides saving the Special Investigation Department face, part of the reason was that Shiraishi also wanted to know what the Special Investigation Department had come to investigate.

After all, aside from Kiriyama's "complete silence," the most crucial issue in the murder case he had committed was that his motive remained unclear.

The murdered security guard had no social connection to him whatsoever, and robbery was even less likely. At first glance, it looked like a random killing.

As long as they broke through the question of motive, Shiraishi's side could close the case—

If the Special Investigation Department wanted to take Kiriyama away, they definitely were not investigating the murder case. It was almost certainly related to corruption, and Shiraishi suspected that the two cases might be connected!

After all, unless someone was mentally ill or a serial killer, murder had to be driven by an enormous objective.

"Shiraishi Kuro! What do you mean? Even the Special Investigation Department can't take him away?" Egami demanded angrily.

"Egami, Kiriyama is a murderer. Without proper procedures, I can't explain myself either." Shiraishi merely kept deflecting.

Egami was about to say more when Kawashiri interrupted him. "Chief Superintendent Shiraishi, as far as I know, the evidence of Kiriyama's murder is already conclusive, isn't it? We can wait until he is sent to the Prosecutor's Office this afternoon."

Kawashiri casually set a deadline for sending him to the Prosecutor's Office.

However, Shiraishi shook his head. "It still can't be called conclusive. Vice-Minister Karimago requires a 99.99% conviction rate—" Without hesitation, Shiraishi shifted half the blame onto Karimago.
