Chapter 200: The Devotion of Suspect X
Everyone fell silent.
Because they are good people who are reasonable, they will be pointed at gunpoint.
And those guys who deceive their superiors and subordinates, disobey the yang and the yin, and disregard people's lives are bad people, and they don't know how to be reasonable, so they get away with it and become extralegal fanatics within the order.
Qiao Shuya was silent, he wanted to say something, but there was no need anymore.
Because good people have become a curse word.
But at this moment, some people are starting to feel that something is wrong.
Kazetaro, who was behind Hashiya, silently poked Hashishua and the priest in the waist, and said, "The situation seems to be a little wrong, the deceased died too quickly, right?" ”
After all, he is also a detective, although he is an intelligence-based detective, good at catching juniors, tracking and finding people, but he has been in the reasoning circle for a long time.
"What's wrong, isn't cyanide dead in a minute, dead in two minutes? It is known as one of the strongest poisons in the world. The priest returned.
"No, Joseph, what if you found someone who had just taken cyanide and treated it with holy light as fast as you could?" Kazetaro said.
"I guess I can prolong the torture for more than ten minutes, but it still can't be cured." Joseph said.
"This is the crux of the matter, from shouting 'dead man' to Brother Keqing's release of the holy light, it is no more than a minute, and Brother Keqing's holy light is stronger than yours, to be reasonable, even if the milk is not alive within this time, it can prolong the pain of the deceased for a few minutes." Kazetaro said.
"What are you trying to express?" Qiao Shuya also asked.
"I think that this deceased seems to have stood and endured the torture of cyanide for nearly a minute, and only collapsed when he was completely dead, why was he able to force it to hold on for nearly a minute, cyanide will completely block breathing, block cerebral blood communication, he has the ability to make a sound during this time period, but he chooses to hold ...... strongly"
"Something is wrong, something is wrong......"
Kazetaro began to talk to himself, he seemed to have guessed something, but he couldn't catch it.
At this time, the reasoning of the detective Kogoro pointed directly at Mrs. Hiromura, and even Mrs. Hiromura had already admitted it, and took out a gun and held the squad leader hostage.
It's just that Higashino, who is next to Detective Twilight, is also wondering why this person will emit a bitter almond smell so quickly......
Wait, bitter almond flavor?
Cyanide is colorless and odorless, and only reacts with human cells to have a bitter almond taste, but that also takes a long time to react.
The imp picked up the corpse's fingernails and found that the corpse's index finger had obvious stains and a faint smell of bitter almonds.
He understood that there was only one truth!
……
At this time, Mrs. Hiromura angrily put a gun to Yoshida's temple and shouted: "I want you watchmen to do everything I say, and I want that illegitimate son of the Trilogy Group to pay for my daughter's life!" Hurry up, or I'll kill this girl!" ”
The watchmen who seemed to want to make a move were stopped by many of their other colleagues around them.
And Higashino Little Ghost gradually understood everything, and he also discovered the truth, and even the method of this case is the method in the famous work "The Devotion of Suspect X" by Keigo Higashino, a famous suspense reasoner in District 11.
He gradually understood everything, and the truth was ......
"Mrs. Hongcun, stop it." The squad leader who was held hostage did not show any fear at this time, sighed slightly, and said.
"What...... What? Mrs. Hongcun was stunned.
"Mr. Sakurai, I guess I committed suicide." The squad leader's calm words were as if a bomb had been dropped among the watchmen.
"What?"
"Baccarat?"
"What happened?"
All the watchmen were stunned for a moment, how could it be that the deceased committed suicide?
The deceased also committed suicide at the wedding held by the Watchmen Association, and deliberately disguised himself as the murderer, what was it for?
"The real suspicion is that Ah Qiao has released the holy light as quickly as possible, but the holy light has no effect, and the watchmen present are clear that Ah Qiao's holy light can heal as soon as the injuries within the severed limbs are cured, even if it is cyanide poisoning, the holy light can at least delay death." Yoshida said his reasoning calmly,
"But the deceased, Mr. Takahiro Sakurai, had already ingested cyanide for more than two minutes and died for more than a minute when Aqiao released the holy light, so the holy light would be completely invalidated."
"And the pain and wailing of cyanide poisoning, this is inevitable, but why did Mr. Sakurai not wail when he was poisoned, but endured the pain and did not fall until he died? Even, so many watchmen present did not find out that someone was covering for him. ”
Even though the squad leader was being held hostage, she lifted her glasses, which reflected a stunning light.
"Then there is only one truth, even if it is impossible, it is a fact, that is, Mr. Sakurai committed suicide, and Mrs. Hiromura, you, are just collaborators who help Mr. Sakurai disguise!"
As soon as the words came out, the watchmen in the audience gasped.
And such a madman? They deliberately committed suicide at Brother Long's wedding, and which one was it to play?
Like Qiao Shuya, they instantly felt that it was not the local chaebols in District 11 who were doing something.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Sakurai committed suicide, so what is our purpose?" Mrs. Hiromura's gun continued to hold against Yoshida's temple, directly against her head.
However, the squad leader said calmly: "Because, in order to let your daughter's case get the attention of all the watchmen, in order to let the guy who is still at large after the accident get the punishment he deserves, my reasoning is right, Mrs. Hongcun, what you just said about your daughter's case is true." ”
For a moment, Mrs. Hongcun was stunned, tears soaking from the corners of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks, and even dripping on the neck of the squad leader.
"I thought of Keigo Higashino's famous suspense mystery "The Devotion of Suspect X", in which the male protagonist chose to make himself a suspect in order to protect others, and your method is similar to that reasoning book."
The squad leader continued, and finally, she sighed: "Also, Mrs. Hongcun, the gun in your hand is a toy gun, right?" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the other watchmen were even more stunned, and they looked closely, whether it was from the front or the side, the pistol seemed to be real.
But Yoshida, who had been in contact with the muzzle of the gun, knew that it was just a toy gun, to be precise, an imitation gun, and it seemed that it was still the kind that could fire BB bullets.
"I'm ......," Mrs. Hongcun was stunned, let go of her holding hand, and she knelt on the ground, and began to cry loudly.
The firearm was picked up by other people on the side, and when it was taken apart, it was really an imitation gun, and it was difficult for this firearm to break through the defense of ordinary people's eyelids, but the real image of this play was made by accident, and it was completely simulated.
Feelings: More than 100 watchmen just now, all of them were threatened by this imitation gun.
Mrs. Hongcun just cried and said, "I can't help it! I really don't have anything I can do anymore! Reina was hit and killed, I lost everything, the protection of the Metropolitan Police Department, the misdeeds of the House, the threat of the Trilogy Group, I have no choice! ”
"Before the trial, a member of the House approached me and threatened me to accompany him, and I agreed and went to the hotel with him...... However, I didn't get anything, and the Sanleng Group even sent people to smash my house, splashing blood on my door, and calling me every night to threaten me......"
"Why, why is this happening, why was Rina killed by them, and they still threaten me like this, I just want justice, I just want that murderer to kill and pay for his life! Why! ”
Her cry was terrible, and everyone present was silent.
Some people don't even know why, and suddenly the whole body shuddered.
"I can't do anything, my mother can't do anything, Reina was hit and killed in the street, and my mother can't even bring the murderer to justice......" she cried and yelled, "What a world-shattering thing! Breaking the world! Breaking the world! ”
"Even though I told reporters and other TV stations and media about this incident, there was no report, and I was stuck in the toilet that day......
"Why is this happening, I don't see any hope, I feel like a mountain is pressing on me, I can't breathe. The entire 11th District seems to be their umbrella, and only you watchmen, only you watchmen who belong directly to the Human Federation, only you can call the shots for me......"
"Aren't you heroes, aren't you the organization that guards the entire human race, I just want justice, I just need the law to judge the murderer, and the Triangular Group......" She finally slammed her head into the park.
Mrs. Hongcun was originally a graceful and elegant beautiful woman, but at this time she was crazy, her head kept hitting the ground, her voice was hoarse, and she completely lost her sense of beauty, and the kind of haggard and madness after being tortured completely exploded.
The atmosphere present was extremely solemn, even like a depressing volcano.
"So, Mrs. Hiromura, in other words, you originally delivered the corresponding letter to the Society, but you didn't get the attention of the Watchers Association, so you used such an extreme plan to make us pay attention to this matter?" Hashiya stepped forward and said, "With Mr. Sakurai's death and your own execution, you will exchange one with the people of the Mitsurishi Group?" ”
"Yes......" she raised her head and looked at Qiao Shuya, "We have no choice but to use this way of death to make you pay attention to it, so that you can stand up and administer justice for us...... We can't find anyone but the watchmen of the Human Union......"
"I have one final question, why did Mr. Sakurai prefer to commit suicide? Or even endure the hellish torment of cyanide for nearly a minute without screaming? Qiao Shuya finally asked.
"Because, I cheated, and Mr. Takahiro Sakurai is Reina's real father......"
"Whew, I understand......" and Qiao Shuya just turned around and said, "Is there a lawyer?" Mrs. Hongcun was prosecuted for crimes such as endangering public order, suicide, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and sent her to prison. ”
And at this moment, Mrs. Hongcun panicked, she pounced desperately, and said: "Watchman, no, don't, don't!" ”
"Take it." Qiao Shuya's face was pale, and the other watchmen suddenly felt that it was not a good taste.
What could they do if they were ordinary people and what happened to Mrs. Hongcun?
The answer is, no.
He suddenly remembered what someone had said a few months ago after the Ginza Devourer had erupted.
"This is District 11, the idiot-like local government, the unscrupulous chaebols and the extremists, the ordinary people who have been suppressed to the point of perversion, this land has no hope and light, only despair and reincarnation." The head of the Nakamura branch said gloomily.
Qiao Shuya saw him at this time, and the chairman of the Nakamura branch also came, but he kept avoiding smoking and didn't participate in it.
Because of all this, he has long been accustomed to it, and even has long been accustomed to it.
But why is this kind of thing required of their watchmen, they can't meddle in politics, the watchmen are just simple demon killers, and everything they do is only related to the evil spirits.
They are not the Great Master of the Blue Sky, not even the county magistrate, they are just a group of ordinary people who are responsible for fighting the alien demons.
But why, so many people, so many cases, want their watchmen to call the shots......
Qiao Shuya began to figure out why there are so many dense cults in District 11, which have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they can't be killed endlessly.
There are also so many people who want to be traitors, they would rather go to the alien demons and do things for the aliens.
"Brother Keqing, are we just looking at it like this?" Kazetaro said, "Shall we do something?" ”
"It's really time to do something, find out whether the perpetrator really went to prison, or find a stand-in himself at large, if so, then arrest him and try him with the law of the people!" Qiao Shuya said calmly, but everyone knew the anger under his calm expression.
"Also, carefully investigate the Sanleng Group, the House of Representatives, Jidao and the Metropolitan Police Department, all relevant personnel, all thoroughly, and then deal with them one by one with the Law of the People's Federation, remember, follow the Law of the People's Federation!"
"Howler!" Kazetaro rubbed his hands together, it seemed that he couldn't wait for a long time, waiting for this order to be hungry and thirsty.
At this time, the people from the Intelligence Department were also working just now, and they began to find the case that Mrs. Hongcun said.
This incident was deliberately suppressed and even concealed a lot, so it was a little difficult to investigate, but after reading the information found, everyone's faces suddenly turned even darker.
Mrs. Hongcun is not exaggerating, on the contrary, she still has a lot of untold experiences.
For example, she was originally a rich wife with a net worth of tens of millions, and her daughter Rina Hiromura was a top student in the women's country, and she was originally a happy family, but because of this incident, the family was almost ruined.
Also, the time when her daughter was hit and killed happened about half a month ago, a few days before the 60-degree heat in Tokyo.
Because of this incident, Brother Long's grand wedding also ended hastily, and everyone had no intention of playing, everyone seemed to be preoccupied and thinking about something.
"Let's go, let's go home." Qiao Shuya said, getting up and leaving.
Along the way, the atmosphere was very depressing, and several people were silent.
The sun shone on the ground at dusk, and the dust in the air was clearly visible in the sun, but in front of the jeep, no one could care about such a thing.
"Ah Qiao, alas, I don't want to say anything, this 11th district, well, in fact, there will be this kind of thing anywhere." Lao Chen touched his panda head, as if he wanted to comfort Qiao Shuya, who seemed to be in a bad mood at this time, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
Is it dark? For Lao Chen, in fact, it is really not possible, because he has seen a lot of similar bullying things when he travels around the world.
At most, it can only draw a knife to help when it is uneven.
"No, in fact, this thing is very ordinary, even among the wicked, this is also the worst and most rubbish kind of wicked person, compared to the wicked savior or a certain crumb boss, or even just garbage, I don't get angry about this kind of thing at all." Qiao Shuya said, he was not angry at all because of this matter,
"And what I'm angry about is, in this 11th district, why should good people suffer, why do good people deserve to die?" Qiao Shuya looked at Lao Chen calmly and said.
"I ......" Lao Chen didn't know how to answer this matter for a while.
"I know a place where it is said that 'why are you not a robber call the police', and since then, the whole world has changed, and there are no more righteous and courageous people, and there are no good people, and when you see people fall on the road, even if nearly 100 people pass by, they just glance at everything indifferently and watch him die."
"Because whether it is calling the police or calling an ambulance, it will be falsely accused, and even good people will be made to bear everything that they should not bear."
"So, why is this happening?"
Qiao Shuya said calmly: "Good people should die, good people should be pointed at guns, what kind of world-breaking way is this?" And even, for the sake of her own justice, she wants to pull other good people into the water, and even threatens the lives of other good people, because they are reasonable and good people? ”
"Ah, this ......" Lao Chen didn't expect that Qiao Shuya's angle of looking at the problem was this aspect.
In this incident, the only people who suffered from the unjustified disaster were Brother Long, and the watchmen who attended the wedding, and the wedding was basically hasty.
"Good people can't get good rewards, bad people can't be punished, and even bad people can occupy a major part of the cake in this world, perhaps, human beings are not alien in biology......" Qiao Shuya looked at Lao Chen, "But, in my heart, I am more like a demon than a demon." ”
"The only good news is that most of the good people in this world can still gain the favor of the gods and become watchmen." "If it's a world without gods, what should good people do?" ”
……
Three days later, Tokyo Women's Prison.
Mrs. Hiromura changed into a prison uniform and stepped on a sewing machine in prison.
On her face, there was already a dead expression, like a walking corpse.
She was sentenced to two years in prison, also because Mr. Takahiro Sakurai was eventually found guilty of suicide.
"Ms. Hongcun, someone here wants to visit you." The prison guard said.
Soon, Mrs. Hiromura, who was originally a walking corpse, came to the meeting room, but what she saw was Yoshida Mitsui, the girl she had held hostage.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Hiromura, for disappointing you. The person who killed you was Ryunosuke Iwasaki, he hid in District 1 to avoid the limelight, and yesterday he was emptied by the District 1 police because he was over there because he did not cooperate with the search of the District 1 police, and this is a photo. Yoshida took out a photo and put it in front of Mrs. Hiromura through the glass.
In the photo, the rich second-generation young man was shot at least more than ten times, lying on the ground covered in blood, and there were a few bloody footprints behind him.
"I'm sorry, he wasn't brought back to justice, but the rest of the people have been arrested, and waiting for them is the Grand Inquisitor from District 1 to conduct the trial of the People's Union Law." After Yoshida finished speaking, he bowed deeply, "Mrs. Hiromura, take care in the future." ”
And after Yoshida left, looking at the photo of the empty magazine across the glass, she lay on the glass and cried bitterly.
……
Outside the prison, Qiao Shuya waited against the wall.
Seeing that the squad leader came out and seemed to let go of a certain burden, Qiao Shuya just smiled and said: "I thought of a sentence, for noble things, it is enough to be able to touch the edges." This is from Keigo Higashino's "The Devotion of Suspect X". ”
"Is that talking about me?" The squad leader smiled and took the initiative to put his arm around Qiao Shuya's hand.
"No, I'm just talking about myself." Qiao Shuya returned.
Sorry, it seems that there is an error in the scheduled upload, whether I forgot to upload it or a BUG I don't know.
