This, this is too good!
His eyes darted around, still deep in thought.
Next time.
Where should he commit his next crime?
Only the true victim, at this moment, nearly fainted crying in the bathroom.
Oh, righteous lord?
Go to hell with that!
Clearly, that person was the thief, and that money was his.
Confused and muddled!
Of course.
He only dared to grumble behind their backs; he wouldn't dare say these words to anyone.
After all, whose fault was this?
The Uchiha had clearly caught the thief; if he had just stepped forward to identify him, the matter would have been easily resolved.
His money would have been returned.
But, who told him he wasn't willing?
So, even if he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself.
Chapter 88: Taking the Blame for the Clan, Shinichi is Overjoyed!
Police Force, Chief's Office.
Uchiha Jin looked relaxed.
He casually brewed himself a cup of tea, looking utterly content.
"Chief, this isn't right," Uchiha Tekka said, his head aching. "Although the Konoha Villagers are happy, we let the culprit go."
"And also, Shinichi-kun!"
"He was wrongly accused!"
"I can vouch for Shinichi-kun; he works diligently every day and would never make such a low-level mistake."
"To punish him like this, it's just too unfair."
He spoke earnestly.
Tekka's eyes held a hint of anger towards Uchiha Jin.
Yes.
Although Uchiha Jin had given him a heads-up last night.
But, now.
After truly encountering the problem, he was still quite uncomfortable.
Why should the Uchiha suffer for the sake of the villagers?
If Uchiha Shinichi had truly made a mistake, then this matter would be fine.
The problem was, he hadn't!
It was precisely because of this that Tekka naturally disagreed.
"Yes, Chief," Uchiha Shinichi also spoke directly. "I didn't do anything wrong in this matter!"
"That Kobe Manyo, I'm certain he's the culprit."
"Although there's no evidence yet, I guarantee I'll find it."
Clearly.
He was also quite unconvinced by Uchiha Jin's handling of the situation.
Meanwhile.
Uchiha Jin remained calm.
Only after Tekka had finished speaking did he say calmly.
"Hmm, I know."
"That Kobe Manyo is the culprit, but so what?"
"Innocent until proven guilty, understand?"
"From now on, in the Police Force I'm in charge of, if there's no conclusive evidence, everyone will be treated as innocent."
"As for, Shinichi!"
"I know you're wronged, but for uchiha glory, you must endure it for a bit."
"You also know the Uchiha's reputation isn't good, and Chief Fugaku assigned me as Police Chief precisely to change the Uchiha's reputation."
"So, do you understand?"
"I'm not here to solve cases; I don't care who the culprit is."
"Of course, for you, we are all Uchiha, I won't let you suffer for nothing."
"Tonight, I'll talk to the Chief and directly bestow upon you a B-rank ninjutsu scroll, and then reward you with one hundred thousand ryo."
"Go back and train well; even if you don't come to work, your salary will still be paid as usual."
"Just rest assured."
"I, Uchiha Jin, will not let our own people suffer for nothing."
"Since you're taking the blame for the clan, you will definitely be rewarded!"
Hiss!
Tekka and Shinichi were both stunned.
Clearly.
Neither of them had expected such an answer.
So, that's how it is.
Chief Uchiha Jin knew he was wrongly accused.
He was just making him take the blame for uchiha glory?
And.
This blame wasn't taken for nothing; he was given a lot of benefits.
Looking at it this way, this was actually a good thing?
Both of them were bewildered.
They couldn't quite comprehend that things could be resolved this way?
Suddenly.
Both of them didn't know what to say.
"Shinichi, how about it?" Uchiha Jin asked with a smile. "Are you satisfied with my handling?"
"Uh, satisfied!"
Uchiha Shinichi quickly nodded.
What a joke?
How could he not be satisfied?
One must know.
He was just an ordinary Uchiha, relying on his continuous efforts to join the Police Force after graduation.
He was short on money.
Even more so, high-level ninjutsu!
Just by simply taking the blame for the clan, he could obtain so many good things.
Heh heh.
He felt that he wouldn't mind taking on a few more of these blame-taking tasks.
"Hmm, that's good."
