Chapter 448 The self-cultivation of an excellent man
The sirens blared downstairs.
Coral-head police officer Yoko Mizoro ran up panting and looked around to see where the deceased was, but happened to see Shibata Kyoko explaining the motive for the murder.
"People really can't do anything bad."
"But my husband and Mr. Yoshikawa did that kind of thing and it was not exposed. It's really unfair."
Shibata Kyoko changed the topic and suddenly shouted: "They play mahjong and gamble together. My husband gathers with them to gamble every day. The bets every day are scary."
"In the end, my computer, gems, car, video player, and stereo were all sold off."
"My husband also said that if he wanted to sell it again, he would sell my golf equipment, and finally the famous sword that my father gave him."
"I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I..."
Kyoko Shibata's revelations made Takezo Yoshikawa next to him break into a cold sweat, and he looked at Officer Yokomori fearfully.
This story was thought-provoking and made everyone present silently reflect on their own situation.
Qin Zhibo: So I usually say, we must refuse gambling and drugs.
Mao Lilan: Dad also has a bad habit of gambling. We must help him quit gambling!
Although Mao Lilan is so determined, it is not so easy to implement in practice. For details, please refer to the last time he was diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease in Xinchu Hospital. He made bold words to completely quit drinking, but he still lives with alcohol every day.

The criterion for obtaining an A-level mission evaluation is to solve the case before the police arrive. Of course, this does not include the Blizzard Villa mode.
A very common case earned 1,000 proficiency points, all thanks to Conan!
At this time, police officer Henggou, who had understood the situation, wanted to take Shibata Kyoko and Yoshikawa Takezo away together, but Shibata Kyoko made a request before leaving.
"Can you let me change my clothes before I go with you?"
The time we left the scene this time was incredibly short. If we had gone back any faster, the management officer at the headquarters might have thought that he had not been there at all.
Therefore, Officer Henggou very humanely allowed a murderer to enter the room alone to change clothes.
Watching Kyoko Shibata walk into the bedroom, Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that when he was looking for rings in various rooms, he saw a samurai sword on the bedroom cabinet.
That knife should be the sword his father gave to his son-in-law.
Combined with Shibata Kyoko's untimely request to change clothes and the despairing expression on her face, it is not difficult to imagine that she has the tendency to commit suicide out of fear of guilt.
However, as a male, it would not be good for Qin Zhibo to rush in rashly. It would be troublesome if Shibata Kyoko really just wanted to change clothes.
So the astute Qin Zhibo walked to Mao Lilan and told her his thoughts.
After hearing Qin Zhibo's judgment, Mao Lilan immediately turned serious, stepped forward and turned the bedroom door handle.
In the bedroom, as soon as Shibata Kyoko pulled out her sword, Mao Lilan opened the door.
"Miss Shibata!"
"do not come!"
Seeing Mao Lilan break in, Shibata Kyoko quickly threw the scabbard at Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan blocked the thrown scabbard with both hands and was not injured. Others quickly came over and looked at Kyoko Shibata who was about to wipe her neck in surprise.
"Everything is over. I know that killing someone requires a life."
There were tears in the corners of Shibata Kyoko's eyes, and her arms were shaking as she prepared to commit suicide.
Noticing this, Shizuka Hattori walked forward, placing his hand on the folding fan belted around his waist, but as soon as he reached the front, he was stopped by Qin Zhibo's sideways arm.
Shizuka Hattori: "?"
Based on psychological analysis, Qin Zhibo knew that Shibata Kyoko was hesitating whether to die, otherwise no one would be able to stop her from committing suicide now.
So Qin Zhibo picked up the scabbard from the ground next to him and persuaded him: "It is an ancient saying that murder must be punished with life. Now in Japan, the actual sentencing is basically equivalent to the abolition of the death penalty."
"In addition, you have a reason for the incident and are not a heinous murderer who kills indiscriminately. It is estimated that you will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison."
Qin Zhibo's words made Shibata Kyoko slightly moved. Qin Zhibo continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Actually, I sympathize with you very much. No woman can bear to have a bad gambler husband at home who refuses to listen to anything she says."
“But you don’t have to punish yourself for other people’s mistakes.”
"Put down the knife now. More than ten years later, the sun will still shine brightly. You will be glad that you did not seek death today."
Mao Lilan also remembered something at this time, and quickly said in an extremely sincere tone: "My mother is a barrister. If you need it, I can ask her to help you defend your sentence to the greatest extent possible."
With Qin Zhibo's persuasion and Mao Lilan's assistance, Shibata Kyoko let go of her hands and fell to the ground.
The crisis was resolved, and Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Qin Zhibo has two preparations, one is to use social skills (persuasion), and the other is combat skills (kendo).
Although there is no sword in his hand, the scabbard is enough for use.
However, Shibata Kyoko's will to die was not strong and she did not need force.
Qin Zhibo stepped forward and put the samurai sword back into the scabbard on his right hand. Since he had mastered the skills of kendo, his hands subconsciously used the sword sheathing movements commonly used by kendo practitioners.
This scene was captured simultaneously by Shizuka Hattori and Conan standing nearby.
Shizuka Hattori, Conan: This man can also do kendo
Looking at this capable and mysterious man in front of him, Shizuka Hattori felt a little ashamed.
Because her idea just now was to use the folding fan in her hand to snatch the knife away, but now that she thinks about it, this was a rash idea.
Holding a folding fan and forcing her forward will only have two consequences. One is to stimulate Shibata Kyoko's emotions and accelerate her suicide.
The other is to force Shibata Kyoko to wield a knife at herself. Although she is strong enough to take the knife, killing someone with a knife in front of the police, no matter what the reason, is not conducive to later sentencing.
Even if it is persuasion, Hattori Shizuka's perspective is the rhetoric of "respect life, your own life is also fate."
But in fact, how powerless such beautiful words are, Shizuka Hattori, the wife of the director, also knows. After all, the number of suicides in Japan every year is almost at the top of the world, and banners and slogans from various places to persuade suicides to return have almost no effect.
The fundamental way to save a suicidal person is to solve the dilemma faced by the suicidal person.
Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered.
Qin Zhibo chose to solve the sentencing worries for Shibata Kyoko from a practical point of view, instead of simply persuading people to do good.
Able to reason, write books, swordsmanship, be humble and graceful, and have strong adaptability to situations.
What an excellent man.
The look of approval in Hattori Shizuka's eyes was even greater.
