【L月L】Inquisitor

Tokyo Port is located in the northwest of the city.When Yagami Soichiro drove past the city, the sun had just risen.The transparent blue sky turned into a blurred orange, and the end of the sea level seemed to be burning.He was facing the sun, and his thoughts seemed to be steaming in hot water and became blurred.He desperately searched for it in the mountains of containers and in the gaps in the walls of the huge maze.

"Are you being too strict with Yue?"

This is not the first time Sachiko said this to him, the last time she said this to him was when Yagamitsu just entered junior high school.Ye Shenyue is an obedient child and an excellent child. The words "obedient" and "excellent" mean the same thing to Yagami Soichiro in a sense-in any case, he has always been very satisfied with Yagami.

Ye Shenyue's adolescent rebellion was long overdue. When he was in the second year of middle school, he deliberately failed the final exam.As the father of Yagami Soichiro and the cadre most likely to succeed the next director of the Police Agency, Yagami saw through Yagami's tricks immediately.He was not angry, and he didn't even delve into the hidden reasons behind his sudden rebellion.He generously protects Ye Shenyue's pride without exposing him.But Yagami Soichiro is a meticulous man after all, he thinks that Yagami should learn a lesson and stop such meaningless pranks.

The atmosphere at the dinner table that night was particularly heavy, and no one spoke.Sachiko put a bowl of rice in front of him, and when he turned around, he heard her sigh slightly.

"You should concentrate on your studies, Yagami."

Ye Shenyue's face was still childish in the upper middle school. Although he looked more like Sachiko at that time, his brows had gradually stretched out a kind of arrogance and alienation.He didn't have any special reaction when he heard Soichiro Yagami's words, he just said, "Understood, father."

"There will be no next time." Ye Shenyue added.

At that time, Yagami Soichiro was secretly proud of his education method at that time, and the pride Yagami Yue brought to him washed away the guilt of lack of company.He is in the rising period of his career, facing a major choice between entering politics and continuing to work in the police force. He has been deprived of little attention to his family, so when Sachiko said this to him for the first time, he didn't take it seriously at all. superior.A few years later, Yagami Soichiro, who was trying to return to the family until his job gradually stabilized and secured his position as director, found that Yagami's height was almost the same as him.

He and his son are like strangers who have never met, the surprise in his eyes is no less than the alienation in Ye Shenyue's eyes.Ye Shenyue is as he promised, the rebellion of adolescence is like a grain of sand in a big wave, disappearing in the waves in a blink of an eye.His grades are outstanding, and he is too good and perfect to be out of reach.While Yagami Soichiro felt relieved, he also felt a faint worry.This worry has been hidden in his subconscious - he can't tell if his son is really as real as he sees.

The bowls and chopsticks in Xingzi's hands were washed by the water, and she slowly rubbed the edges repeatedly, "I don't mean anything else, I just think maybe you should care more about Yue."

"He's not a child, Sachiko. He's an adult, an individual."

Xingzi was silent for a while, "Then he is also your son, and you will always be his father."

What happened afterwards seemed to confirm Soichiro Yagami's hidden worries. After the KIRA incident, L quickly expressed his skepticism towards Tsuki Yagami, and the ambiguous conversation with L on the rooftop that day could not calm Mr. Yagami Ichiro's worries.The situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction. Not long after the Qingshan explosion ended, Ye Shenyue was taken into custody by L as a KIRA suspect.

That period was the most painful period for Soichiro Yagami.As the leader of the investigation team, he has a heavy responsibility and is obliged to find out the truth of the case and arrest KIRA.But at the same time, as a father, he suffers from inner torment all the time.The more he stared at Ye Shenyue's face, the more he couldn't be sure what kind of nature was hidden under his skin.Curiosity is rooted in doubt, doubt drives discovery, even if the truth is often a sting, he will never look back.

He felt a kind of power that pushed him forward in the dark, dominated his thinking, and controlled his body, making him irresistible, because he firmly believed that all of these came from his free will.He didn't think about questioning, let alone resisting.

The house was full of people from the forensics team, and Sayu's body had been placed. He secretly suppressed the news and did not tell Sachiko. Even though it was a meaningless act, because she would know the truth sooner or later, he still insisted on his own choose.Everyone knows who the killer is, but it doesn't help.They will only come to the conclusion of "suicide" when collecting evidence at the scene.Yagami Soichiro was shocked by his calmness at this moment, the pain did not affect his judgment at all, he even felt that his brain was working so fast and clearly before.

He saw Ye Shenyue—his son was sitting on the second step of the stairs, his face was numb besides exhaustion, as if he had experienced such scenes countless times, and exhaustion made him abandon his cleanliness , wearing a blood-stained black shirt.As the first witness at the scene of the crime, he is in the midst of controversy among the crowd, and the suspicions that have just been cleared come back again. At the same time, there are sympathetic gazes on him, as if they believe that he will continue after losing a daughter. lost a son.Fortunately, L did not take back his previous decision to release Ye Shenyue, as if he had already identified Ye Shenyue as one of the victims.

A few days later, Sachiko, who came back from a business trip, still learned the bad news, and a group of people turned their backs on their backs again.Due to the lack of procrastination, Sayu's funeral was hastily scheduled for a weekend. Sachiko was too sad to attend, and Ye Shenyue took care of the entire process. Coincidentally, her cemetery was arranged to be buried in Mi Haisa's place. The same cemetery.Most of the people who attended the funeral were his colleagues and subordinates who had followed him for many years. Unexpectedly, L also attended the funeral, but he and Ye Shenyue exchanged a few words and left in a hurry.

The next day, Ye Shenyue was still wearing the black suit he wore to the funeral the day before. He said he was going to visit Mi Haisa, and then went to the flower shop to buy a large bouquet of white roses.It was raining heavily when we came back, but there was no wind.Through the car window, Yagami Soichiro saw Yagami Yue walking into the rain curtain with a black umbrella, and gradually disappeared from his sight.He suddenly felt that he should go after him, and the doubt was stronger than ever.But in the end he just lit a cigarette and began the long wait in the driver's seat.

He didn't wait long, Ye Shenyue came back soon.The rain became heavier, the wind suddenly blew up, and the street lamps were lit with muddy light.Ye Shenyue ran back holding an umbrella, and the moment he opened the car door, the cold wind blew out his cigarette.Ye Shenyue's trousers were splashed with muddy water, and her shoulders were covered with water stains. She was in an unprecedented embarrassment.

"It's raining heavily."

Yagami Soichiro saw that his palm was covered with wet soil, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"Oh, the steps are too slippery, I fell down." Ye Shenyue wiped the dirt on her palm with a paper towel, revealing fine scars.

"I thought you were digging something."

Ye Shenyue chuckled, "How could that be?"

"Suddenly there was a wind, and the roses were blown away. I searched for a long time before I found a stone and pressed it on top of the bouquet. After thinking about it, I moved it away again." Ye Shenyue said, "She should Go further afield."

Yagami Soichiro threw half of the remaining cigarette butts into the ashtray, he turned the key, and there was a rumbling sound from the bottom of the car.

The car was galloping in the rain, and the only sound in the car was the muffled sound of raindrops hitting.

"Do you want to go home? Or do you want to eat something..."

"Father," Ye Shenyue interrupted him, he propped his chin, quietly watching the mottled traces of rainwater flowing on the window, "I didn't do it."

Yagami Soichiro suddenly had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.At this moment, the pain of losing my daughter gradually became clear, and it came unexpectedly.He felt tired first, followed by irresistible old age.

"I know."

What did he know? Soichiro Yagami kept thinking about it after saying this sentence that day, until he saw the figure of Yagami Tsuki disappearing in the haze of morning mist late at night.The voice in his heart was getting louder and louder, booming, like thunder.He took the car keys and sat in the driver's seat, tracking the previously set location tracking system.He drove the car, the street lights in the early morning seemed to be glimmering in the deep sea, the black car was speeding on the viaduct, and the scenery on both sides was quickly stripped away.

The lit cigarettes gathered into a vague entity in mid-air, and then were torn apart by the wind pouring in from the suddenly opened window, and the ash turned into fine dust.He smoked cigarette after cigarette, far exceeding his daily limit, but he didn't feel any effect of nicotine.

On the way to Tokyo Port, Soichiro Yagami recalled his rebellion in Yagami Tsuki Junior High School, as if he had found the source of the original mistake.But fortunately it was not too late, he firmly remembered Sachiko's words: You will always be his father.There was a ruthless determination in his cracked heart, and he decided to find out the truth and put an end to all this.This thought was extremely clear, until the moment he got out of the car, the wind mixed with salt and fishy smell and the rising sun in the sky indicated today's good weather, and the last bit of confusion was blown away by the sea breeze from Tokyo Harbor .

The positioning spot flickered continuously, and he was getting closer and closer to his destination.The upright brown iron door reflects the solemn light, Yagami Soichiro pushed open the door of warehouse No. 21 with all his strength.

At that moment he saw two people, the fallen man and the standing man—L and Yue.
