Chapter 18: What is Justice?

It was a warm afternoon. The sun shines on the ground without hesitation, shining quietly on the floor through the glass windows of this very modern and technological house. Cookies and delicate cakes are placed on the coffee table, and the smell of the teapot makes everything a layer of moisture, and the whole air is filled with a faint smell of tea.

Three figures are sitting on the sofa in front of the coffee table, the fatter one is an old man in his fifties, his head has been slightly bowed, his hair has turned white, the whole person is nested on the sofa chair, and a pair of eyes are staring at the refreshments on the coffee table.

The other two figures were much smaller, and they were two boys of six or seven years old. One was wearing a blue suit and a red bow tie, and the slightly huge black glasses on his face could not stop his heroic spirit, and a strand of hair on the back of his head stood tenaciously erect. The other was dressed in a black casual suit, and the sun shone on it, reflecting a little bit of gold. The gold-rimmed black-rimmed glasses made him very extravagant. He leisurely played with the coffee cup in his hand, as if he was leisurely enjoying this beautiful afternoon.

It seemed that after a long time, the boy in the blue suit finally couldn't help it and spoke; "I still don't understand why you did that."

The boy in black ignored him, just glanced at the white-haired fat old man who secretly stretched out his hand to the biscuit with his amber eyes, and after seeing that he immediately retracted his hand, he nodded with satisfaction and continued to play with the cup in his hand.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

"You speak! Charlotte! Seeing the boy in black behaving like this, the boy was a little angry, "Why don't you stop him?" ”

The boy in black still didn't speak, reached out and took a tea plate with a cake in it, and ate the cake to himself. It was as if sitting in front of him was not a person who was asking himself, but a rock.

"Charlotte Miyamoto!" The boy was completely on fire, and his warm blue pupils seemed to burst into flames, "Why don't you answer me?" ”

The boy in black licked his fingers and asked slowly; "Stop what?"

"Are you playing dumb with me?" The boy stood up excitedly and stared at the black-clothed boy who was huddled on the sofa, "You already know about the art museum, right?" You also know that Director Ochiai kills, right? So why would you want to watch it happen! ”

"Why?" The boy stood up, the afternoon sun casting a shadow behind him, making it impossible to see his expression. "Conan, what do you think justice is?"

"What is justice?" The boy in the suit was stunned for a moment, "Justice is...... Uh......" He suddenly found that he couldn't give a description that would define the word well, "Justice is to punish adultery and eliminate evil, and do righteous things!" ”

"Punish adultery and eliminate evil?" The boy chuckled, "Then tell me, what is good and what is evil?" ”

"This ......," Conan hesitated.

"Can't answer, can you?" The boy said lightly, "I can't answer this question either." Because, "the boy turned his head," the question is unanswered. ”

"There is no answer...... Asa Feather ......" Conan's eyes were slightly confused.

"You're right. I do know it all. Asaba walked back to the couch, "I knew that Manaka would die, and I also knew that Director Ochiai would kill someone, but I didn't stop it, do you know why?" ”

"......" Conan didn't speak.

"Because, what seems to you to be a crime is righteous in the eyes of Director Ochiai." Asa Yu said lightly, "In order to protect the museum, he chose to die with the devil, to be honest, I admire his courage and faith." ”

"You ......" but the man's expression became excited.

"Think about it," Asayu interrupted, "what would you do if one day, Xiaolan was kidnapped, and you deliberately held a pistol in your hand, and only by killing the prisoner could you save Xiaolan?" ”

"I'm ......" Conan hesitated, the look of confusion in his eyes even heavier.

"Good and evil are at ease in the hearts of men. Justice does not depend on the evaluation of others, but on one's own heart. Asa Yu said seriously, "If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot that guy." ”

"But, after all, it's a resignation!" Conan sighed.

"You've been brainwashed too heavily by the police." Asa Yu commented, "You always think that the law and human life are the most important, and I think your heart is the most important. If Uncle were here today, he would never let you hesitate for so long. ”

"We are all people who uphold justice. The difference is that you are defending the justice of the law, while I am defending the justice of myself and others. In other words, "You can temporarily violate your conscience for the sake of justice, but I can temporarily give up justice for the sake of my own peace of mind." I really can't accept that a kind old man will be unwilling to live the rest of his life after being ruined by a bastard. Asa Yu looked at Conan with his head down, "Although the law is just most of the time, it is still unsatisfactory many times. I'd rather not have this kind of cold justice! ”

"I understand......," Conan's voice was muffled, "but why did you use your life to tell me this path?" ”

"Kudo." Asa Yu let out a rare sigh. "You don't understand the darkness of this world. This society is not as simple as you think. There are so many dark places between people that you don't understand, in higher places," he pointed to the sky, "a human life, maybe nothing." ”

"Instead of letting you understand after being hurt by society, it is better to teach you now." Thinking of that black organization, Asa Yu couldn't help but sigh again.

"Charlotte......" Conan looked at his friend in a daze, speechless.

"Okay, don't be so sad, anyway, the museum has finally recovered with the help of people's fundraising, and Director Ochiai's dream has come true." The doctor, who had not spoken, said, "I think he must also hope that his angels will continue to walk bravely!" ”

"Well said, Doctor. However, Charlotte is his angel! Conan smiled, and seemed to understand a lot and grow a lot.

"Doctor, put the cake back." Asa Yu looked at the doctor's right hand hidden behind him, and said lightly.

(⊙o⊙) Ah! Society is really dark! The doctor screamed.

"Haha......"

“...... Idiot. ”
