When I went out, the cool breeze mixed with the drizzle fell overhead from time to time, but before I arrived at the hospital, the rain disappeared, and tonight was a good night to sleep without turning on the air conditioning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before knocking on the door of the ward, I was still hesitating to say anything to Ah Miao's father, whether he would ask me to answer or not give him a chance to ask questions and I would perfunctory a few words to him. Do you answer his doubts unreservedly, or do you keep the details or some main clues and don't fully confess to him? If I had unreservedly confessed to him what I knew, would he have prevented me from continuing my investigation and stirred up the whirlpool even more, or would he have ignored me and allowed me to break into the whirlpool of struggle or even give me private support?

For the sake of his daughter, I don't think he has any reason to stop me, but for the sake of social stability, he may not care about personal feelings, after all, I don't know this resolute middle-aged man.

Knocking on the door, I heard a deep male voice: "Please come in." ”

Pushing the door in, there were only Masako-san who was cramped and restless on the half-lying hospital bed and Minister Nakamura who was sitting on a chair next to him with a calm expression and no anger, and I didn't notice the police hiding nearby on the way here, which proved that Nakamura Ken was not lying, and he really planned to come to Masako's hospital room alone to wait for me, the mysterious person.

"Alice......" Masako stopped talking.

"I probably know what's going on, I don't blame you, I'll talk to Miao's father now, and you stay quiet."

"Okay......

"You may be seated." Nakamura ignored my instructions to Masako and gestured to me with a chair that had already been prepared directly across from him.

Is this the usual opening and routine of police veterans playing interrogation? I hesitated for a moment, decided not to bother with him, straightened my skirt and sat down, and as I sat down, I inexplicably remembered that I hadn't changed my clothes for nearly three days, and if I hadn't noticed that I had simply cleaned myself, I might be covered in sweat by now.

"What do you want to say?" I asked bluntly.

"If Masako confesses to me the truth, I will first thank Miss Alice." He stood up and bowed.

"......," I felt my face a little complicated, "you don't have to do this, I didn't save your daughter." This sentence came with a message of my mind - it was not until I confronted Miao's father that I decided not to consider the previous hesitation and told him my true experience without reservation - the content is similar to the original punishment of Masako, but the method is very different, this time the mind is not forcefully instilled into the minds of others, but in a natural way for the onlooker to watch for himself, which reduces the efficiency of mind interpretation and even causes the information to be missing, but it is still a magical experience for ordinary people.

For example, Minister Nakamura in front of me, although his face did not lose his composure, but it was obviously solemn and shocked, and it was not until a few minutes later that he came back to his senses.

"It's ......," he sighed imperceptibly, "it's strange, it's like a film screening, it's like a personal experience, although there is no reason, I know it's all true, I feel the magic of Miss Alice, Masako is telling the truth, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have put pressure on you with hypocritical etiquette just now." ”

There are so many flattering elements in this man's personality, and I think with great emotion that the touch that Ah Miao gave me is contained in his father's frankness, and Miss Maruko's sneer at the hypocrisy of the world and helplessly tolerate it, which seems to be more obvious in Nakamura Ken's character, and I think Miss Maruko will like such a person.

And I gradually let go of my bad impression of him and decided to re-examine this high-ranking bureaucrat in the police system.

"Of course I can't deceive you, this is an inevitable quality of a cultivator, and you don't have to understand it if you don't think you can understand it, the difference between an ordinary person and a cultivator is not in the difference in human nature in the usual sense."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand."

"Let's get down to business," I stopped playing tricks on him, "Now that you know what Ah Miao experienced before she died, and you have experienced the truth, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"That night, I received a report from my subordinates, and then rushed to the scene," he said to himself, without mentioning what day it was, and which scene it was, which was obviously unnecessary to mention, "At the scene, there was a female corpse, fatally wounded in the temple of the head, and it was presumed that the murder weapon was a larger-caliber pistol," he said calmly, as if forcing himself to continue, "That's Miao, my daughter, don't look closely...... In addition to Ah Miao, there were many bizarre blood marks at the scene, the scene had obviously been cleaned, and the preliminary analysis of the blood samples collected could determine that more than 15 people had been injured or killed at the scene. ”

It seems that Miss Komachi did take me away from the scene very carefully that night, leaving no trace for the police to trace.

At this time, Nakamura Ken's tone changed, "After listening to Masako's story, I was going to continue to put pressure on you with the above rhetoric and hypocritical etiquette, but now it seems that it doesn't make sense, because Miss Alice has already handed over the truth to me. ”

I feel more and more that there is a lot of likability in this middle-aged man's personality, or the courage to face up to human weaknesses.

"The police's guesses are fine, and now you know what it was and what the killer looked like, although the mystery man saved the most important one, and then what? You should know what's going on with the Konoe family and what are you going to do? "I don't care how frank Ken Nakamura is, and some things have to be said in the heart of the truth, so I asked him aggressively.

"I still have a lot of questions for you." He said.

"I know he wants to ask me where I'm from, what I want to do, how much he knows about the murderer, and what I'm going to do in the future," I don't want to answer your question...... Miao's father, what are you going to do? ”

He took a deep breath and maintained a steady demeanor and speed of speech, "I already had some suspicions when I learned of Miao's death, after all, my work was forced to put my family in danger, and Miao's mother chose to leave because of this...... This time, I already knew in advance which people and which forces I would stand on the opposite side, but not only did I have no choice, but I was also willing to become a pawn at the top, which is related to the ideals of the police and the path to promotion, the former is a joke for most people in today's society, but not for me, the latter is everyone's dream goal, power and profit, the goal of any struggle is nothing more than the same, promotion is the goal and the means, the means of fighting for power and profit, people who step into the officialdom, all the components of life can only revolve around the struggle, It's involuntary and self-satisfying. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Society is, after all, governed by rules, whether they are good in some ways or bad in some ways."

"Miao's death makes you think it's necessary to uphold the rules?"

"The rules include the law! Including all the things and things that make order manifest! He said, "Masako and you have unexpectedly given me direct clues about the murderer, but this cannot be used as evidence in the prosecution, and we do not have the ability to circumvent the rules to punish the Konoe family and the people behind the Konoe family." ”

"That's what you want to tell me?" I had a gut feeling that he hadn't finished speaking, so he hadn't expressed his anger yet.

"I am a public servant, a sacred police chief, and it is impossible for me to comment on strange phenomena and strange people from hearsay or folk superstition, so I will turn a blind eye to you, and to the strange people hired by the Konoe family, and I must and can only achieve my ends by legitimate and lawful means, whether or not I can shake those people, the true masters of those countries."
