【L月L】Inquisitor

When Ye Shenyue woke up, she found herself in a white room.

There are only white walls around, no windows, like a closed white cubic box.The light emitted by the lamp tubes above the head was reflected by the surrounding walls, so they seemed to be shining, and the shadows on the ground became light and blurred.

The wound on his shoulder had been treated, it was carefully bandaged, and the white bandages were wrapped around and around, overlapping and covering.He tried to move his shoulder, but felt nothing, probably because the effects of the anesthetic hadn't completely worn off.

There are some desserts and a glass of water on the bedside table, and a monitor probe is hung on the wall directly opposite the bed.It hangs blatantly on the wall, symbolizing the opponent's unshakable authority and his passive status.

Ye Shenyue didn't care, and didn't feel that she was in a passive position.Even though the metal cuffs on his wrists restricted his movement, and he was obviously in a restrained environment, he didn't feel any unfreedom at all.Quite the opposite in fact—this enclosed white space was exactly what he had hoped for.

The last thing he remembers before he loses consciousness is the scene where a group of armed police officers subdued him.From that moment on, he knew his plan had succeeded.All the paths he has constructed lead in a given direction, both past and future.

Although it was a pity that he didn't get the judge's name on the spot, but the name was already in his pocket, and he never lacked patience.

All you have to do now is wait.

"Good morning, Yagami. How are you resting?"

The black loudspeaker in the corner made a strange sound, the thin electronic sound drilled out of the sound's fine gap, and wandered along the wall.

"Not bad. Why, peeping can't satisfy you anymore, so you directly resort to illegal imprisonment?" Ye Shenyue shook the handcuffs on her wrists, and the iron chains collided lightly.

"But I have to say, your hospitality is really unique."

"I'm sorry Ye Shen, you are not a 'guest' now - you are a suspect."

"I can guess the reason, but let me ask your basis. Besides, I don't like this electronic sound. If I could kill people with sound, you who talked to me on the phone would have died long ago, wouldn't you?"

"To be honest, I don't doubt anything now." L's tone of voice was a bit unwilling, but he still switched to a normal voice, which was also his real voice - as always, cold and deep, lacking enthusiasm and vitality.

"That woman—Maki Teruko, is she still alive?"

"Unfortunately, she died."

Ye Shenyue clenched the glass in her hand, and a white spot of light fell into the transparent water.

"Yes," said he, "she is poor."

The white wall is like a piece of paper, and the opaque paper allows them to only see each other's blurred figures.The gray shadow is constantly shaking, a hazy but real outline, if it is filled with details, it will become false.

L was silent for a while, "She is a good woman and a dedicated policeman."

"Indeed, without her protection, I would be the one who died."

When Akimoto's father shot Yagami, Misora ​​Naomi killed him on the spot with little hesitation.And the man wandering on the cliff finally found his way back.

Before he died, Akimoto's father showed a very familiar expression, this expression Ye Shenyue is very familiar with, because many people have shown this expression to him, even he himself has shown this expression - facing the top of the warehouse The torn hole in the sun-drenched rusty staircase.

The face is like turning into a pool of water, it spreads out little by little, becoming shallow and laden with heavy blankness.Then the pupils were like black paint falling into the pool water, melting into strands of hair, entangled and falling indiscriminately, until the deepest part.

"L, I have a question I want to ask you." Ye Shenyue said suddenly.

"what is the problem?"

Ye Shenyue stared at the wall in front of her, the white turned into transparent glass, and the outside of the transparent cube was thick black.He saw L squatting on the sofa in his unique posture. He seemed to appear out of nowhere, with another world that no one knew about in his black eyes.

"How do people in the cracks move forward."

L released the button of the microphone, he was thinking, or he couldn't say the answer, the answer itself was not the goal.

He understood that Ye Shenyue was not perfunctory or changing the subject, but was asking him questions and seeking answers, and at the same time questioning him and reminding him that his pretense was useless.

"At any cost," L said.

Ye Shenyue smiled, "You're right—at any cost."

All progress has a price.Even if a cruel fact and law is whitewashed, there is no way to change its true attributes. When the Death Note falls into the human world, it becomes a part of this system.

Anyone who wants to advance is doomed to collide with the other, and whoever gets to the end makes the rules.So one lie is destined to be another lie, and behind death is still death.No matter who the so-called object is, as long as you keep going, there will never be a day when you stop.

The duels have changed from batch to batch, but the rules of the game have always been eternal.

"Are you implying to me that you recognize yourself as KIRA?"

"Aren't you also implying to me that you don't have conclusive evidence that Yagami is KIRA?"

L sighed, "Sometimes I wish yours wasn't so smart, Night God. That being said, your fingerprints on the videotape are indisputable evidence."

"Since we're talking about this, you must have found out that I participated in the joint activities of the club and the TV station during that time. I was responsible for sorting out all the videotapes and files that were sent. It is only natural that I have my fingerprints on them."

L turned off the microphone, lowered his head and poked at the cube sugar in the cup, "That's why I don't want to deal with him—he's still so watertight."

"You have also heard from Deputy Chief Yagami that the fingerprints are indeed ironclad evidence, but as Yue said, there is still the possibility of a reversal of this matter. That being said, the possibility that Yagami Yue is KIRA is now all doubt the tallest of the objects."

Yagami Soichiro frowned, staring at Yagami Moon on the screen, feeling extremely unreal.Ye Shenyue appeared on the screen like an actor in a TV series or movie, and all the plots were just fictional stories that were interpreted.

He put his police badge on the coffee table in front of L, "...I still apply for confinement."

"To be honest, don't you think there is something strange about it?"

"Which aspect are you talking about?"

"About Yue..." L kept rubbing his lower lip with his thumb, "Don't you think he was deliberately controlled by us as KIRA? Ever since Yagami Yue was arrested, there was something like It’s an uncomfortable feeling of being taken advantage of. If I have to describe it—it’s like an allergy from not eating enough sugar.”

"If Ye Shenyue was the second KIRA, with his intellect, he would not leave his fingerprints at all, and we may not even have the opportunity to sit here to discuss the case. But now he has left fingerprints, especially after being shot by others Afterwards, I have a feeling that—” L said, “He seems to have calculated the time and was deliberately arrested by us. Rather than saying arrest, it is more appropriate to use the word 'protection'."

"You mean, he's not KIRA?"

"I can't completely deny it. I'm just curious. According to this logical reasoning, the question that follows is undoubtedly why someone shot and killed Ye Shenyue, or who forced Ye Shenyue to entrust our protection without hesitation KIRA was arrested, his move was too risky. And I guess he must know that I will reason this way, so since he is not KIRA, he must be trying to hide some key secrets."

L suddenly stood up, bent down and tried hard to put the shoes on his feet, trying to lift the upper to his ankles, but it was always difficult to find a satisfactory position.He tried again, but failed again.Then, as if he lost all his patience, he simply stepped on the back of the shoes on the soles of his feet, turning the canvas shoes into slippers.

L took a few steps tentatively, and the heels of his shoes dragged on the ground made a "slapping" sound. He rarely showed a frustrated expression, "Shoes are really the most annoying thing, there is no one."

The white shoelaces were in a mess and scattered on the ground, as if they would be entangled into an inextricable knot at any moment.

L lowered his head and kicked the white shoelaces, and then he suddenly said, "I'm going to do an experiment, Deputy Chief Yagami. I hope you can witness this moment."

"I'm going to meet Yagami now and confess my identity to him. If I die, then Yagami is KIRA."

Hearing L's words, Yagami Soichiro showed an extremely complicated expression.He seemed to want to refute, but he didn't know which point to object to.

Until now, he doesn't believe or hope that his son is a ruthless serial murderer, but he also doesn't agree with L, who is most likely to arrest KIRA, betting his own life.

"Is there no other way?"

"Of course there is, but this kind of comparison is effective." L said, "Maybe it can be the most powerful way to protect myself in turn. Sometimes you will never get what you want if you don't take risks. I think your son I have a deep understanding of this as well.”

Yagami Soichiro sat solemnly on the sofa opposite the screen. Yagami on the screen was like a character holding his own script. No one had seen his real face at the moment he walked out of the screen.

"I know, I will witness this moment."

L walked towards the corner of the stairs, the soles of his canvas shoes hitting the marble floor made a dragging sound.

"Of course, if one day, I catch KIRA and die in his hands at the same time-although it sounds a bit regrettable, I think I should be satisfied, and you don't have to feel sorry for it."
