【L月L】Inquisitor

If life were a novel, Momota Matsuda would not consider herself the protagonist.But this does not mean that he is bad, he is currently the youngest policeman in the KIRA investigation headquarters, of course, there are also reasons why Ye Shenyue and L are not included in the category of "police", so he has the opportunity to win this honor.But compared to most people who are running around for a living, he shouldn't have any dissatisfaction. Although he is immature, no one will deny that he is an excellent policeman.

Of course, Matsuda Momota did not have any dissatisfaction.He has always been simple and easy to satisfy, and he doesn't like to have too much hesitation in his actions.This "simple" feature is an advantage most of the time. He has become one of the outstanding graduates of the police academy and has won numerous awards for successfully solving many difficult cases.

Since the beginning of the investigation, he has been responsible for the surveillance work inside the investigation headquarters.This sounds like a lot of work, but in fact he has only one monitoring object - Ye Shenyue.The monitors are set in the range of Ye Shenyue's daily life, with a total of 48 monitoring points, all over the hidden corners of his bedroom and the corridor outside the door.He disdains this kind of spying work.It's not that he has opinions on the work itself, but he thinks it's superfluous, because he thinks that Ye Shenyue is not KIRA.

Everything went very smoothly, and as time went by, he believed in his own judgment more and more, Ye Shenyue almost got rid of KIRA's suspicion.His job should have been made easier by this, not so difficult for him to move forward.

This difficulty does not come from the work itself, but from himself.

The wet hair was dripping with water, and the soaked neckline and cuffs seemed to have been rubbed hard, and they were wrinkled, revealing the embarrassment and abjection visible to the naked eye.On his face, the most inconsistent thing is his eyes.It's tired, but determined, with an unyielding, pure color.

Because he made a decision yesterday.

"Matsuda."

Matsuda Mota raised her head and saw Yagami's blurred shadow walking into the mirror.He is handsome, tall, and his clothes are neat without any wrinkles.

Ye Shenyue had greeted him, but they were not familiar with each other, and they had nothing else to say.Then he quietly stood in front of the sink next to him and began to wash the stains on his cuffs.Matsuda subconsciously glanced at it, and found that it didn't look like coffee stains, but rather...cream.

Matsuda quickly retracted his gaze, "Is there a time when Yue is so careless?"

"Well, it's inevitable."

Matsuda felt a little embarrassed for no reason. In fact, after asking this sentence, he felt regret in his heart, but for some reason, he answered the next sentence in a strange way, "Is it L's cake?"

The clear water flows along the back of Ye Shenyue's hand, like a transparent and meandering river.He glanced at Matsuda in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to take the initiative to continue this topic.He didn't answer right away, but smiled inexplicably.

"Didn't you see it all?" he said softly.

See - see what?Matsuda was stunned for a moment, and then those pictures quickly filled his brain, and the tide of memory was churning.The cold screens are densely arranged, and they are neat and orderly, as if following a rational rule.He is an audience, an audience sitting in the audience.Those pictures bloom like a drama, it is extremely absurd, it makes people feel unreasonable madness, even unsightly shame, but it is full of unattainable attraction, which makes the eyeball lose the ability to turn, and is framed in the Neatly sorted screens.

At that time, he stood up on the table in astonishment, as if a flood of beasts had turned into an entity and rushed out of the screen, leaving only the illusion of evil spirits claiming his life.Then he was frightened and quickly took a few steps back, turned around and broke free from the frightening narrow space.The chair knocked over in panic fell to the ground with all four legs in the air, and the black rollers spun lonely in the air.

"what."

Matsuda heard his own strange voice bursting in the air, and the abruptly broken words finally fell silent.

Ye Shenyue didn't respond, he concentrated on rubbing his cuffs, "By the way, Matsuda—"

"I, I won't say it, I will never say it! The deputy chief...the deputy chief doesn't know."

"I didn't mean that. I meant—"

Ye Shenyue swallowed the remaining half of the sentence, because Matsuda seemed too overwhelmed, and the sympathy that came out of nowhere was secretly causing trouble, which made him feel that Matsuda looked a little pitiful.

Oh no, correct.That's not sympathy—that's a bad taste that L has brought on.

Ye Shenyue turned off the faucet casually, "You ask."

"what?"

"Aren't you curious—me and L? Just ask."

Matsuda suddenly felt that his face had turned into an iron plate scorched by high temperature. If he put raw eggs on it, it might be fried to half-cooked.He thought about it in a mess, and thought that the picture was a bit funny.Rationality tried to drag back its own flailing thoughts, but to no avail.Then he opened his mouth,

"You...you are, are you?"

He couldn't even utter a complete sentence, which was really embarrassing, Matsuda thought.

"No, we are not. Not now, and in the future—" Ye Shenyue paused,

"Not really."

what is itfriend?lover?Matsuda didn't know what Ye Shenyue was referring to, he vaguely felt that Ye Shenyue was denying all these possibilities.But he also keenly captured the momentary hesitation in Ye Shenyue's language, but the blank stay was so short that it hardly counted as hesitation.And it was this gap that made the restless figure of Ye Shenyue in front of him become real for the first time.

"what is that?"

"A relationship. It may be too difficult to resist the self-amusement and deceitful nature of trying to eliminate loneliness."

Matsuda's rationality told him that this conversation should come to an end, but his behavior was always one step ahead, "After that...the deputy chief...what should I do."

Ye Shenyue's eyelids moved slightly, and the spot of light that escaped without knowing it fell on the corner of his eye, like a glowing diamond.He first stared at the shadow on the white ground in silence, then revealed a seemingly relaxed look, and he said something.A simple and clear language, every word Matsuda can understand, but when they put together, it is like broken pieces, unable to be glued into the once complete appearance.

Ye Shenyue said that the "future" must be owned before it is eligible to worry.

Matsuda wanted to continue to ask the bottom line, but Yagamitsu was already tired of this topic.Because it never has an answer, it can only drag the thinking into the mud.

And he has another important thing.

"Matsuda, you said you don't think KIRA is completely evil."

"……Yes."

"What would you do if I were KIRA?"

Matsuda was stunned, he had never thought about this possibility.So when Ye Shenyue asked this question, he was not prepared.

But not being prepared doesn't mean not having the answers.

"...I don't know," he said.

"You know the answer, and so do I." Ye Shenyue said, "You have already made a decision—if I were KIRA, you would be the first to shoot me."

"You don't have to explain it to me, I don't mind. I just want to say that your decisiveness and bravery are unmatched in this investigative headquarters. There may be some sentimentality in it, but that's how it turns out. So I hope you— careful."

"As you said just now, the future—you have to own it so that you can testify, worry, and change."

Matsuda's heart skipped a beat when he heard this word.He began to feel uneasy, as if he was standing naked in front of Ye Shenyue, completely naked, and the secrets in his heart were spread out in front of Ye Shenyue.

The sun fell vertically, revealing his true form.

"I will." Matsuda reluctantly responded, an unconvincing promise.

"Do you know?"

Ye Shenyue asked again, he asked casually, looked frivolous and indifferent, but Matsuda dared not answer.

His answer seemed to be stuck in his throat, it was caught in a dilemma, imprisoned, and could only be squeezed awkwardly.If it had a substance, he would have already pulled it out of his throat at this moment, and threw it on the ground in front of Ye Shenyue.Then the irresistible, blinding light made it reveal the archetype of its own lie, wriggling like a black, filthy reptile on the spotless tile floor.

"I know you heard the conversation between me and L, but the fire mouth is not the target you should contact. Instead of making a fearless sacrifice, it is better to sort out the victim's information and do something useful with this time. Matsuda - act rashly, You may be killed by him."

"I know, but now everything is based on him, and I can investigate." Matsuda said, "You said that being killed is only a 'possibility' after all. Someone has to do it, so who will do it?" Could it be him? Could it be you? I don't know. I don't want to speculate like that."

"I'm not like other people, I have no worries. I just know I can do it," Matsuda said, showing a simple and honest smile.There was nothing in it, it was just a simple smile.

"—that's me."

Ye Shenyue didn't dissuade him anymore, because he knew it was useless.The young policeman named Matsuda Momota in front of him had a pure color on his face.You can mock him for being naive, or you can laugh at him for being stupid.When those stinging words were thrown out, I had to be moved by them.Matsuda's words sounded familiar to Ye Shenyue, but they seemed a little different.He thought about it for a while before he managed to remember.

"Someone has to do it, and only I can do it—that's me."

No wonder it was so familiar, it turned out to be my young self.
