"Since it has happened, even if it is not within the scope of my duties, I still have to ask you, Miss Alice, can you provide us with information about the Parenting Order? The murder case of that year caused the police to lose a lot of credibility in front of the public. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hmm...... I'm sorry for the time being, I need them to help me do something, as for whether the real culprit is the Sect, I can only give my own judgment, they are not like them, at least not like the leader. ”

"Unfortunately, it's not up to me to conclude whether the Order is guilty or not, and I have no intention of forcing you to give clues, and I hope Miss Alice doesn't help them make mistakes."

"Hey, I don't know if I've made a mistake yet, but I think it's better to make a mistake than to do nothing."

He let out a long sigh and then said something that made my eyelids skip a beat, "I understand what young people think. ”

In a practical sense, I am indeed young and have not even shaken off my childish naivety, and Ken Nakamura is so right that I cannot find a reason to refute him.

"Is there anything else Miss Alice would like to ask? I won't keep it a secret from you. ”

"Thanks, I do have some questions, does Minister Nakamura know a private detective named Edogawaichi?"

"I've been in contact with quite a few outsiders who claim to be detectives, and none of them are Edogawaichi."

It seems that Uncle Edogawa's internal relationship should not be Ken Nakamura, and there is a sense of disdain for detectives outside the system in the tone of the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Metropolitan Police Department must be useful for private detectives, but Minister Nakamura is not like a person who can establish a friendly relationship with people like Uncle Edogawa.

However, Edogawa is a forum username, not a real name used in real society, and it is unknown whether his internal connections in the police system know his monster forum username.

"One more thing, a few months ago, do you have an impression of a murder case in the Outer Ring Road area?"

"Outer Ring Road...... In recent months, there has been only one criminal case involving multiple deaths and injuries. ”

"Well, a few nights ago," I paused to mention the sad incident in front of him, "not too many casualties?" ”

He took a deep breath, his voice loud and audible on the other end of the phone, "There was only one body at the scene of the shooting near the park, at best a premeditated murder, and the other victims...... The police pay attention to evidence, and there is no more direct evidence other than bloodstains to prove that there are other victims. ”

"The spiritual transmission of the practitioner is the proof." I didn't hesitate to say.

"I believe you, but I can't prove it to anyone else."

"Well, let's not talk about it," I said, "has anyone been put under suspicion in the murder of the door a few months ago?" ”

"As in the case of the murder a few years ago, there are no clues available - realistically."

"Do you think there are any unrealistic angles?"

"I hadn't thought about it that way before last night."

"Oh?"

"Only cases committed using special methods that are incompatible with the traditional concept of handling cases can lead to such situations that seem to have no clues available," he said in a serious tone, "Spells, I don't want to say this loose word, only strange spells that are not in the concept of ordinary people can cause the traditional concept of handling cases to be difficult to start in such cases, because we naturally ignore other clues." ”

"For example?"

For example, a locked room homicide case can be established under such conditions, but the traditional concept of handling cases refuses to admit the existence of a perfect secret room. After going back last night, I thought for a long time, there have been many unsolved old cases backlogged in the archives over the years, and some of these cases have one thing in common, there are no clues, there is no direction of investigation, even if some cases were thought by the police at the beginning of the crime to have a possible direction of investigation, they were all proven wrong soon after. ”

"Do you think such cases are all committed by, well, youkai?"

"Monsters, people, it's all the same, and most of these cases are from people who can use spells, if not by exceptionally perfect criminals."

"It was probably all committed by a feared youkai."

"Hmph," said Minister Nakamura disdainfully, "no criminal is bound to be feared, whether it is a human being or not, and no 'person' can get rid of the same characteristics when it participates in the activities of human society." ”

The ideas that Ah Miao's father, after a night of reflection, echoed the ideas I had drawn from my experiences over the past few days, that no matter what kind of people they were, whether or not they knew secret techniques that were incomprehensible to ordinary people, they were mere criminals in what they had done.

"Do you have a suspicion?"

"I can't make any comments without an investigation."

"Anyway, I didn't intend to find anything useful from you," I almost ignored the purpose of contacting Ken Nakamura before - obviously not to find out the details of Edogawaichi, although that person was really not very reassuring - and said instead, "Do you have any in-depth investigation into the cult groups in Tokyo?" Are there any clues about the existence of more hidden, larger organizations behind certain groups? ”

"There is one point, but it is only in the nature of hearsay, and it is not my scope of business," he reminded again, "There are some groups that have been accused by the families of believers of illegally accumulating valuables, in fact, it is forcible seizure, because of the difficulty of investigation and evidence collection, and involving the most troublesome group incidents, so the police have not done more in-depth research, but I have heard that those sects that illegally accumulate valuables may have sold things to a large multinational organization, I do not give any guarantee about this, it is just rumors exchanged by other departments." ”

It seems that the violent agencies in the outside world are not useless, and their internal rumors are close to the truth, but unfortunately this bit of information is not as rich as my day's gain, and it has no reference value.

"It's a pity that I wanted to be prepared for the behind-the-scenes organization and then explore, but the police don't seem to know anything."

"It seems that Miss Alice has inquired about something, and I hope you can provide us with some necessary clues."

"You're so busy that someone has to fight alone for the revenge of a friend's family," I said with a slight sarcasm, "or last night, I have my own way, and since we don't have much to offer each other, try not to interfere with each other, and in short, you can't handle anything other than ordinary people." ”

Moreover, this may involve the bosses of the police - the direct evidence is Fujiwara Togo, an antique dealer named by Edogawa Ichi, who has ties to high-ranking officials - I find that it is sometimes impossible to rush to rely on the power of outsiders to do something in the outside world, because the important characteristics of outsiders are that they are intertwined with each other, and the entanglement of interests is very complicated, for example, it is almost impossible for the police to deal with their own superiors under their current system, which seems to be impossible to happen under any circumstances.
