"Japan's Criminal Justice System has a conviction rate of ninety-nine point nine percent."
Higuruma sat directly across from a blonde-haired man, asking for details in regards to a murder that his defendant was caught up in.
"Continue." Higuruma said.
"A police officer suddenly called out to me. And soon there were two and three. I thought that if I was apprehended, my cat would die because my place had a no-pet policy. I was the only one who knew of my cat." The blonde-haired man explained.
In March of 2016, at Iwate Prefecture, Morioka City, there was an incident where two people, a young girl and her mother, were found stabbed to death in their home.

OE ran away during a patrolling officer's checkup questioning. And after following him into his home, the police officer discovered a blood-stained knife. He was arrested on the spot. In a DNA test that later took place, they found that the blood on the knife matched the DNA of the victims. OE remained insistent of his innocence. And in regard to the knife that served as evidence-
OE, with tears trickling down his face, wavered as he continued to explain to Higuruma. "I picked it up. It's not mine."

"Non-profit organization?" She inquired.
"Their main activities included providing shelter for and aiding the elderly with living independently. OE worked there as a caretaker. But he wasn't receiving any paychecks. All he got was some money dubbed as an allowance and provisions in the form of bentos and food ingredients. Despite all that, he was forced to pay fifty thousand yen a month for rent." Higuruma explained.
