Chapter 114
There are no specific rules for this game, because it is just a silent tacit understanding reached by Kudo Shinichi and Mo Yu!
For Kudo Shinichi, the conditions for victory were very simple. Just stay in jail quietly for a few days, and then wait until your heart can no longer bear it anymore and quietly take your last breath. That's it.
Why must we choose prison?
This is also Kudo Shinichi's insistence that sins should be buried in prison to show the seriousness of justice.
But simplicity does not mean that it is easy to do. In fact, Kudo Shinichi's persistence soon became semi-bankrupt.
Kudo Yusaku's mobility was outstanding, or in other words, Officer Megure was also very concerned about this. Soon, Kudo Shinichi was taken out and then transferred to the hospital for a physical examination.
Kudo Shinichi wanted to resist, hugging the iron fence tightly and not going anywhere, but looking at the worried eyes of Kudo Yusaku and his mother Kudo Yukiko, he quickly sighed.
Kudo Shinichi had to admit once again that in this world, it was indeed more difficult to commit a crime than he thought!
The test results were worse than Kudo Shinichi thought, but in a sense, they were better.
There was a strange penetrating gunshot wound in his heart, the kind that could be stabbed with a finger. However, even though it was completely penetrated, his heart continued to beat under the influence of some strange force. As if the penetrating wound was just an illusion.
But that wasn't a real phantom. The strange cracks were centered on the penetrating wound and spreading bit by bit towards the entire heart.
The good news is that modern medicine cannot explain the condition of Kudo Shinichi’s heart injury. Another even better news is that according to the hospital’s judgment, based on the current rate of change of the injury, Kudo Shinichi’s survival time is only about five years. The time is less than 10 days.
Of course, this good news is only for Kudo Shinichi!
For others, this was all bad news. When Kudo Yukiko and Mao Lilan knew this, they burst into tears. Even Kudo Yusaku, who was extremely rational, could not help but clasp his hands at this moment. , but as the head of the family and as a man, he knows that emotions are the detective's biggest enemy. The most important thing at the moment is to do his best to find a solution.
Kudo Yusaku pushed up his glasses, suppressed all worries and sorrows, and made the most rational thinking and weighing. Then, he faced Kudo Shinichi who was lying on the hospital bed with his hands handcuffed beside the bed. said:
"Shinichi, according to my previous understanding, for you and Moriarty, this is a game of justice and evil. Since you want to kill him through active sacrifice, then the other way around must also exist. How you can survive, right?"
Facing Kudo Yusaku, who has extraordinary rationality and outstanding reasoning ability, and who has tried his best to think calmly until this moment, Kudo Shinichi has a deeper understanding of how those criminals felt when they faced him.!
Under those calm and rational eyes, under those logical and precise reasoning words, all the cover-ups and calculations were peeled away bit by bit, and all the things that did not want to be known were revealed. The truth is revealed. To be honest, this feeling is a bit shameful!
It's a bit like being forced to take off your clothes, expose your naked body under the spotlight, and then be watched intensely by everyone.
Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but be in awe of the profession of a criminal. He never expected that those criminals in the past would endure such a state of embarrassment and shame, as if they were forced to run naked in public, and still resist him as a detective. It was really amazing. It was so admirable.
Then, in order to be worthy of the profession of a criminal, Kudo Shinichi decided to resist. However, his past experience in solving crimes told him that when faced with such a detective with outstanding reasoning ability, the more he spoke, the harder it would be. The more the more mistakes, so silence has become his most powerful criminal weapon!
But Kudo Shinichi’s silence means nothing to Kudo Yusaku.
He settled in New York, USA, partly because of his wife!
The focus of Kudo Yukiko's work is in the United States.
On the other hand, for a detective, the United States is actually a place similar to a holy land for advanced training.
Its prosperous and developed economy and free-spirited folk customs have created more bizarre cases.
Advanced technology and the gathering of scholars from various countries have also led to the birth of many new technologies and new theories.
Not to mention the birth of various detection technologies, criminal psychology and micro-expression detection are all in their infancy in the United States.
, is still unknown in Neon.
Kudo Yusaku has never stopped learning and growing, so even silence cannot stop him from getting the answer. Therefore, Kudo Yusaku continued:
"Shinichi, I already know the answer. Even if you are silent, it is meaningless, because, judging from Moriarty's performance, even if you don't say anything, in order to win this game, he will do something, for example, Tell us how to keep you alive……"
Kudo Shinichi had to speak:"Dad, there is no way for me to survive. Even if there is, it will only be Moriarty, not Kudo Shinichi."
Kudo Yusaku interrupted Kudo Shinichi's narration. :"Shinichi, don't be trapped by Moriarty's logic. The absoluteness of black and white correlations is also a thinking trap that detectives must detect and eliminate. For example, this world will never change because of a certain person. If you make sacrifices, you can become beautiful. These are two completely different concepts.……"
After a pause, Kudo Yusaku seemed to be considering his words, and finally said:
"Shinichi, it is never necessary to sacrifice one of the two. As your father, I have never given up until now. I also firmly believe that there must be a perfect way to break the situation, because as long as Moriarty exists, as long as If he can be understood and thought about, he cannot be invincible. As my son, I also hope that you can stick to this and never give up. If all justice is the same as you, it can only rely on sacrifice. To defeat evil, then this world will truly be hopeless!"
Kudo Yusaku said earnestly, and Kudo Shinichi was silent!
Kudo Shinichi completely inherited Kudo Yusaku's intelligence. Although he is immature and has insufficient knowledge and experience, there are some essential things. Kudo Yusaku Whatever he could think of, he had already thought of it.
The perfect solution to everyone's happiness is bound to exist, and it is not even impossible to achieve it.
But in Kudo Shinichi's view, this"everyone is happy" is related to him and the world. Unbearable price!
It is true that the world cannot necessarily become better because of someone's sacrifice, but it may become worse because of someone's existence.
But there is no need to say these words. , Kudo Shinichi continues to use silence as a criminal weapon to fight against Kudo Yusaku.
But at this moment, they are also criminals and detectives. One side intends to carry out his criminal intentions, while the other tries to redeem and crack
Kudo Yusaku. He sighed deeply, told the policeman in charge that the visit was over, turned around and went out, and then went out to comfort Kudo Yukiko and Mao Lilan, who were emotionally unstable, and then used the excuse that they needed to think. , took out the cigarette case after a long absence, held the cigarette in his mouth, walked to a secluded place, and then said to himself:
"Moriarty, are you here? I want to talk to you!"
"Brother Kudo, I'm here, I've always been here!"
From the shadows, a dark human figure slowly walked out. Then, he picked up the cigarette case that Kudo Yusaku had put aside in a familiar manner, took out a cigarette, snapped his fingers, and lit the cigarette.
Kudo Yusaku Tsukuru endured the shuddering feeling of the enemy's evil approach and said calmly:
"From the perspective of medical and psychiatric science, Xinyi does not have the basic psychological and spiritual environment to give birth to an"absolute evil" like you. If Xinyi is born with a genetic defect, resulting in an absolutely antisocial personality, after so many years, it will not be possible. I've noticed it a long time ago. You can't be Shinichi's second personality.……"
The pitch-black figure took a deep breath, and then exhaled a cool smoke ring shaped like a skull:
"You detectives who like to get to the bottom of things are really boring sometimes, because the concept of"miracles without reason" does not exist in your minds. Forget it, I am too lazy to play reasoning games with you, Brother Kudo. Let's Let’s talk about it openly and honestly. First of all, I have to deny that I am not absolutely evil. On the contrary, I am a miracle born from the blessing of good intentions. You know the saying about world line changes."
Kudo Yusaku said calmly:"I already know it from the new mouth, but I am always suspicious of such supernatural events!"
The dark figure smiled:"It doesn't matter whether you doubt it or not. Let me just say this, and you can just listen to it. Every time the world line changes, it is born in response to some kind of"desire". I am here. He was born when the world line changed for the first time. As for the reason, a certain kid said that he wanted to become Sherlock Holmes in the new era. So, in order to respond and fulfill this dream, don't you think the birth of Moriarty, Is it a natural thing?"
In the world of detectives, is the detective the most important thing?
No, it has never been the case.
In order to fulfill the most noble dream of justice in the world, the most unforgivable absolute evil in the world was born.
Kudo Yusaku thought so For a moment, and then immediately said:
"This is a lie full of flaws, malicious, and ridiculous!"
The dark figure shrugged:"So, you detectives are boring, because whether this is the truth or a lie, it actually doesn't matter at all. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Okay, let's get back to the topic. Since I was born, I naturally care about Kudo Shinichi more than anyone else, and hope that he will live well and be known to the world as Sherlock Holmes in the new era. Therefore, I will tell you how to cure him.……"
The truth and lies are not unimportant, but Kudo Yusaku really doesn't want to care about the problem at this moment, but shows an expression of listening.
The dark figure put down the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile:
"In fact, it's very simple. There is a hole in your heart. Just use something to patch it up. Don't worry, it's not complicated to get the materials to patch the hole. You just need to step into sin like you did in the past. In the labyrinth of the world, just peel off the illusory fog built by lies and find out the dirty truth full of desire. And it just so happens that this hospital has the materials you need, so you can give it a try……"
As soon as the dark figure finished speaking, a scream echoed throughout the hospital.
"The doctor is dead!"
Kudo Yusaku instinctively turned his head to look, and when he turned his head again, the dark human figure had disappeared. Kudo Yusaku gritted his teeth and walked directly over.
Kudo Shinichi was transferred from the detention center to the hospital for examination. Officer Megure and others were naturally there, so they arrived quickly. Kudo Yusaku also came over and took a few looks.
The deceased was a doctor in the hospital. The place of death was in the office. There was no need to investigate closely, just from a distance. After a few glances, Kudo Yusaku determined that the doctor died from cyanide, and the cup placed on the office table was obviously very suspicious and deliberate.
Speaking of this, Kudo Yusaku had been confused for a long time. Why is cyanide so prevalent in Miwa Town? It feels like at least five of the ten murder cases are related to cyanide.
But at this moment, it is not the time to care about this. Officer Megure decisively mobilized himself as an old man.���Xia's magical power looked at Kudo Yusaku and asked:
"Brother Kudo, what do you think?"
Kudo Yusaku said calmly:" He was used to knowing the deceased well, so he could accurately poison him. This is a crime committed by an acquaintance, so the murderer must be in this office."
And coincidentally, there were three people in the office, namely an intern, a nurse, and a nurse.
After hearing this, the intern and the nurse both looked at the nurse, accused her of being the murderer, and then said all kinds of things. Come to think of it, the nurse was actually the deceased's underground lover, and there had been some conflicts recently. Then, only the nurse would pour tea and water to the doctor, and only she would touch the cup to poison the doctor, as usual. He showed an expression that"the case seems to be solved", but Kudo Yusaku couldn't help but sigh.
He is a mystery novelist, and he also knows the so-called taboo of reasoning, that is, detectives must not judge by"observing expressions and eyes". The case, but to be honest, that is just a taboo in writing mystery novels. For a successful detective, especially a person like Kudo Yusaku, who is actively studying and studying in the United States, has rich knowledge of criminal psychology, and has seen too much. For a criminal, this is really an effective method.
The shock and sadness on the nurse's face, as well as the sense of confusion that she has not yet fully come to her senses and has not yet established a complete understanding of the reality, are all reflected in this. This is not the reaction of deliberate murder at all, or in other words, it can be disguised if you want.
Kudo Yusaku can only say:"The nurse is not the murderer, he should be framed by the murderer."
If it was Kudo Shinichi who said it without credible evidence and logic, Officer Megure would still express some doubts.
But when Kudo Yusaku said this, Officer Megure immediately showed an expression of approval.
The reason is very simple.
People The shadow of the famous tree, Kudo Yusaku's name, is piled up with a large number of real and unmistakable cases.
The number of criminals Kudo Yusaku sent to prison was enough to fill several prisons, initially excluding nurses!
After becoming suspicious, Kudo Yusaku continued to examine the remaining two people.
Then, Kudo Yusaku suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if the veil of the world had been peeled off at this moment, and something was completely exposed.
At this time, Officer Megure was also asking:
"So according to your reasoning, Brother Kudo, who is the suspect... Hey, what's wrong with you!"
Not only Officer Memu, but everyone present was looking in a certain direction!
His face was a little anxious. He was still talking about how the nurse could not be the murderer. Since he loves the doctor so much, he must not be the murderer. The murderer must be the intern who was the nurse. Under the focused gaze of everyone, he shook his body unnaturally and couldn't help but ask:
"What are you guys watching me do?"
But soon, the intern realized that everyone in the field was not looking at him, but at his back, so he turned his head and looked behind him.
Then, he saw a figure appear behind him A strange"guy" appeared!
The upper body was a skinny old man, but the lower body was like a genie in a magic lamp. Then, the old man was holding a huge medicine bottle, and he was still muttering in a low voice:
"Kill him, kill that beast who keeps exploiting me and refuses to let me turn around. Don’t look at me. The murderer is not me, but the bad woman who is the same as that beast. That tea cup is the evidence. I spent half of my life on it. A brilliant trick that took months to come up with……"
The strange old man kept talking, from the motive of committing the crime to the specific method of committing the crime, he kept repeating it again and again.
Silence was the common reaction of everyone present!
Even someone as sensible as Kudo Yusaku can't help but remain silent at this moment!
What should I say? Although this case is not a difficult one, it is really speechless that it was solved in this way!
As for the murderer, the trainee doctor's face was also very distorted and broken, but the moment he and the old man looked at each other, some kind of understanding emerged.
The old man is his soul, his destiny, and his extraordinary reality that is higher than this material world!
Blaming him is as meaningless as blaming yourself. Moreover, the intern has a vague feeling that the murder he has carried out has not yet come to an end.
"Hum, the more carefully you plan, the more likely you are to encounter an unexpected crisis, but it is not that simple to convict me like this. Come on, my substitute [Useless Existence]��】……"
The old man's stand-in suddenly opened his eyes wide, swung out the medicine bottle, and purple mist filled the air!
Infected by the purple mist, both Officer Megure and Kudo Yusaku were dizzy. Then, they lost sight of the intern doctor, as if he had completely disappeared. No, strictly speaking, it didn't mean he didn't exist, but It was his presence that fell on the female nurse.
The female nurse was the murderer, and the crime method was passion poisoning. This understanding gradually filled everyone's minds. Then Officer Megure had already taken out the handcuffs and was about to arrest the female nurse.
"Is it really despicable and boring to transfer the [existence] formed by one's own actions to others?……"
Although Kudo Yusaku was also a little dizzy, he knew all this instinctively, as if there was another voice coming from a higher level, telling him this information!
It wasn't as if, because Kudo Yusaku discovered that a certain"existence" gradually emerged behind him!
The huge jet black cloak seemed to completely encompass the whole world, and the white sneer mask revealed condescending contempt.
Such a small evil destiny also wants to interfere with one's own cognition? joke!
The huge existence called the Night Baron, as a symbol of Kudo Yusaku's destiny, appeared in the mortal world from the background of the world invisible to mortals through the gradually torn barrier.
The Night Baron took a gentle breath, and the strange purple mist was instantly absorbed by it!
Then, everyone present came to their senses instantly!
"This trivial crime, under my reasoning, will come to an end completely!"
Under the gaze of everyone, the Night Baron murmured, stretched out his hand, held the old man's substitute, and then squeezed it hard to crush it completely.
Under this excellent reasoning, the arrogance on the murderer's trainee's face before He completely disappeared, his eyes became clear again, and then he knelt down, but it was not repentance, he was just spitting out blood, and the bones in his body were crackling...
