My translation of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1553736787 for 10/27 (Sunday).

Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.

  • シークレットナイト – Secret Night -: “(NGT48) Prefectural police documents released”
    • https://i.imgur.com/5ndmGd3.png
    • The first official document is the Niigata Prefectural Police press release from December 9th, 2018.
      • ◯◯ and the Criminal Mobile Task Force today (12/9) arrested normally the following two named as assault suspects.
      • [◯◯ = blacked-out]
      • “A”: Date and time of arrest (December 9th, 9:17am)
        “B”: Date and time of arrest (December 9th, 9:20am)
      • Almost all the details of the arrest are blacked out
      • The first blacked-out (◯◯) spot is (Niigata Station), which has Maison de Richelieu under its jurisdiction
        The jurisdiction of the site of the incident was Niigata Station, so “Niigata Station” should be entered here.
      • The “Criminal Mobile Task Force” is an organization in the police headquarters, so there was an arrangement to use this police headquarters unit
      • In other words, this is saying that both the Niigata Station and police headquarters worked to affect the arrests.
      • Note it is written, “arrested normally”.
        There are 3 types of arrest: “red-handed arrest”, “arrest without warrant”, and “normal arrest”; only a “normal arrest” is an arrest with a warrant from the court.
      • That is to say it was decided there was good reason, sufficient for getting an arrest warrant from the court.
    • 2: The two named suspects are arrested almost simultaneously, and the report is published about an hour later.
      • Some reports had the detail that the two named suspects “are living together”.
        However, if you look at the blacked-out parts for the two named suspects’ addresses, it’s evident they are of different lengths. So it is possible the two suspects may have different addresses.
      • Furthermore, as to whether either of them lived in Maison de Richelieu,
        At first glance, since the blacked-out part is short you might think it’s probably not “Maison de Richelieu”, but police press releases often just give addresses as “◯◯-chome”.
        Therefore it is possible the address written there for either of them residing at Richelieu is “Niigata City, Chuo Ward, Sasaguchi 2-chome”.
    • 3: Details: The description being, “The two named suspects inflicted an assault”.
      • Just the subject and predicate are written. The rest is blacked-out.
      • In order to avoid misunderstandings with this notation, the subject and predicate must always be connected.
      • What can be read from here on says, “(Not just 1 but) the 2 named […] inflicted the assault”.
      • The Niigata Nippo More article from January 10, 2019 seems to have been made based on what was written in the Details section.
