The whole world has my vest

When Kunikida asked him to call in Edogawa Ranpo, he immediately dialed the number of the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department, but the phone rang for a long time before being connected by the police officer who was in charge of connecting them.

Kunikida Doppo didn't care about polite greetings, and asked eagerly the first time he got connected: "Officer Matsumoto, what happened to those prisoners? Are they all right?"

"Mr. Kunikida..." The other end of the phone was in a mess, and even the voice of the police officer Matsumoto sounded indistinct.

"...These prisoners have been seriously injured, and they are being sent to the ambulance now!" It seemed that they were busy there, and Kunikida Doppo had no time to say more details when he heard someone calling the police officer Matsumoto, Officer Matsumoto only had time to apologize hastily before hanging up the phone.

Kunikida Doppo's pupils constricted, he looked up at the blond young man who planned the accident, and shouted sharply: "Did you do it? Those are the lives of living people! Even if they are guilty, they should be judged by the court!" "

John calmly looked at this excited detective member, perhaps because he has not experienced those sad events yet, Kunikida Doppo looks a lot younger than in the original work, and the feeling of an idealist is also stronger.

"Damn...!" Seeing that John was unmoved, and even that beautiful face was still as calm as a mirror, Kunitaki Doppo turned his attention to Edogawa Ranpo who was frowning and meditating after his smile disappeared.

"Mr. Ranpo, can you deduce what means and tricks this man used? I will be responsible for turning him over to the police station!"

Having said that, Kunikida Doppo is ready to activate his own abilities.

His supernatural ability [Done Step Yin Ke] can materialize the items written in the notebook. Although the size cannot exceed the size of the notebook, it can exert unexpected effects at certain times.

What's more, Kunikida's unique physical skills can be regarded as the best in the detective agency. He used flash bombs to steal the sight of the bodyguards present, approached the blond young man who had been calm until now, twisted his hands and subdued him, but It only takes a moment.

However, Edogawa Ranpo opened his mouth to stop Kunikida Doppo's planned plan: "Stop Kunikida, we lost this game."

Their bet is that either Edogawa Ranpo will bring the murderers of these unsolved cases to justice, or John will find and kill them, although Edogawa Ranpo still needs to deduce who John wants to kill. The murderer, but the blond-haired young man has already given an obvious hint, and Edogawa Ranpo will not miss it.

Excluding this obstacle that is not considered interference, the bet is actually fair for both parties, because John also needs to find out the murderers of those unsolved cases, and then kill them under the noses of the police and Ranpo Edogawa.

Edogawa Ranbo, who opened his eyes completely, stared at John closely. His voice was tight, as if he was annoyed, but also as if he had been inspired to fight even higher: "How did you do it?"

John Libet looked at the famous detective with blue eyes that were as clear as jewels, and his voice was as soft as sweet spring water bubbling from a high mountain: "Can't Mr. Ranbu deduce it? Can you do it in such a short time?" Solve all the unsolved cases in the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department within a short period of time, you won’t even know about this level of things, right?”

John was clearly just stating this question, but these calm words sounded inexplicably irritating.

"You are a person with supernatural abilities!" Kunikida Doppo said in a deep voice.

"It's been less than two days since you arrived in Osaka, how could you find and kill the murderers of those unsolved cases in such a short period of time!"

However, if it is a person with supernatural powers, all this strangeness can make sense.

For Edogawa Ranpo, who has a strong reasoning ability, it didn't take long to make this step of reasoning.

Although the first case John committed was the Kiyomaru Kunihide murder, and the real murderer was Tamura, John did not do it directly, but Edogawa Ranpo can also see John's character from this case.

——a judge and arbiter who prides himself on justice and fairness.

John would let a murderer with blood on his hands kill another murderer, while he stood quietly and cleanly on top, watching these murders happen.

"Ranbu-jun, as I said, don't stare into the abyss—because there are terrible monsters hidden in the abyss."

With a regretful sigh in John's voice, he stood up and politely nodded to Kunikida Doppo who suddenly became tense.

"Today, I'm very glad that you two accompany me to watch the scenery of the castle tower. See you next time."

Say it, John turned and left, and those tall bodyguards followed him, guarding John firmly.

"Are you really letting him go like this?"

Kunikida Doppo squeezed these words through his teeth, extremely unwilling.

"I can't find conclusive evidence." Edogawa said with his mouth flattened.

"It's too clean. Everything he did is clean, and there will be no evidence for us to find. Even those murderers are probably dead now."

Obviously he didn't look for it, but Edogawa Ranpo can be sure that John will not leave those obvious clues.

Kunikida was silent for a while, but pulled Edogawa Doppo, and insisted: "Let's go, Mr. Ranpo, let's go and see the bodies of those murderers - no matter how cautious and fearful a person is, there is always a hundred secrets." Time to be careless!"

Edogawa Ranpo was stunned, he thought he had hidden his loss and negativity well, but Kunikida Doppo still found out, and used this method to directly pull him out of that negative emotion.

——Edogawa Ranpo is a genius. His "supernormal ability" super reasoning is enough to make him look down on most ordinary IQ humans, and this ability also makes him like a fish in water in the armed detective agency. It can be said that the pillar of the detective agency is well-deserved It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Edogawa Ranpo.

This also means that Edogawa Ranpo has actually never encountered an opponent who frustrated him.

Edogawa Ranpo actually didn't care about the hostility and exclusion that he had received, because it was just the fear and misunderstanding of ordinary people for geniuses far beyond their understanding, and the ensuing rejection and alienation.

Staying with the members of the detective agency who are also supernatural beings, Edogawa Rampo felt that he had found his home, and he would not care about the jealousy and envy of those mortals. These negative emotions can no longer hurt him.

But John is different.

John Libet is dangerous, and no one else needs to remind him, even Edogawa Ranpo, who always does his own way, can tell at a glance.

No matter how much his actions look like a just judge, this kind of overriding and manipulative emotion can easily make human beings become superior and blind, like a thin steel wire walking on the abyss. People fall straight from high above into the dark abyss.

It is not only John who will fall, but also Edogawa Ranpo who is chasing John.

Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning ability allows him to solve hundreds of cases that have been backlogged in the Metropolitan Police Department in just one night - you must know that these files may have been stored in the archives for decades The unsolved case, until the arrival of Edogawa Ranpo, no one can solve the mystery and catch the murderer.

He did find those murderers, and even got the help of the official agency, the Metropolitan Police Department, but those murderers were still solved by John.

Although this is not actually a loss for Edogawa Ranpo, the result of his reasoning told him that the Metropolitan Police Department was understaffed and did not pay enough attention, so John took advantage of the loopholes, but in fact this round was indeed true. It was he who lost.

This is not just a competition of reasoning ability, but also a competition of playing with human nature and social means.

That's why Edogawa Ranpo fell into despair.

However, Kunikida Doppo didn't understand how terrible John was. For him, no matter how terrible the enemy was, he only needed to keep his feet on the ground step by step, and he would always find a chance to completely defeat the enemy.

Kunikida Doppo deserves to be the person who was appointed as the next president of the Armed Detective Agency in the original work. His enthusiasm cheered up Edogawa Ranpo a little, and then followed Kunikida back to the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department.

The corpses of the dead murderers have been placed in the morgue, waiting for the forensic autopsy, but the experienced forensic doctor can roughly see the way of death of these dead at first glance.

"It's simply an eye for an eye, blood for blood. These murderers basically died of the methods they used to commit crimes."

An old coroner who has worked in Osaka for many years said with emotion.

And another young man who is younger, who can be seen as an intern coroner, pointed to a thin man on the mortuary bed with joy in his voice: "This guy is Xu Yong, who has committed several crimes. Cruel massacre. All the victims he targeted had no good meat on them. It was horrible... The youngest victim was a police officer's biological sister, who was only 14 years old... When the body was found, the child was made into a His hands and feet were cut off, his pupils were gouged out, and he was hanged by the railing of a high-rise building with a rope around his neck... However, because he had a mental illness certificate, he was only arrested under the defense of a lawyer. After several years of detention, he was released on bail. But even after being released on bail, he has not repented at all, and is still committing crimes."

Edogawa looked at the intern coroner randomly, and asked curiously: "It sounds like you have a good impression of the people who killed them?"

The trainee coroner was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved involuntarily to the lower right, and then immediately moved back to the center: "Mr. Edogawa, you are joking, although their deaths are indeed very gratifying, but using this method to execute lynchings But what a contempt for our judiciary."

--lie.

The trainee coroner was lying, but Ranpo Edogawa could deduce that the trainee forensic doctor had nothing to do with John, maybe he was just expressing his outrage.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't ask any more questions. He was looking at the corpses and asked the police officers what happened when they found the corpses.

These bodies were not found together, and not all of the recorded murderer's bodies are here - in fact, it does not match the number of those that Edogawa deduced would be selected as the dead by John. .

Edogawa Ranpo briefly flipped through the report, and immediately said: "These are not the only dead, there should be more people who have not been found."

"What—aren't these all the dead?"

Kunikida Doppo was stunned for a moment, and his voice was a little tense.

He also read these reports, which described in detail the crimes committed by these murderers, each of which was horrific and heinous.

There are serial killers who have not been caught by the police, and there are prisoners who have been caught but released on bail because they issued a mental illness certificate. They are all murderers who have not yet been or cannot be punished by law.

Even Doppo Kunikida, who respects life extremely, can't say these words that human life is not worthy of death.

"No... It's not just those recorded in the file that died, but also those prisoners who probably weren't recorded at all."

Sweat slowly slid down Edogawa Ranpo's forehead, he gritted his teeth, and for the first time felt puzzled that he couldn't deduce the answer.

Even Edogawa Ranpo couldn't know the truth of the case that he couldn't see.

"So... how did John know?"

……

…………

Joshua lowered his eyelashes, looking at his own shadow reflected in the window of the moving car.

The smile still remained on John's face. Was he happy for winning Edogawa Ranpo, or was he happy for the chaos he brought?

On the way back from the castle tower to the five-star hotel, you can vaguely hear the sound of police sirens, and police cars with red and blue lights passing by from time to time.

They were probably rushing to the scene of the crime.

The face of John's card can be said to be a prosperous and beautiful face, and it is different from Mikazuki Zongjin and other handsome characters. This character clearly looks like an angel, with a thorough beauty that can cleanse people's hearts, but his body But there are monsters that can swallow everything hidden in it.

There are more than 70 episodes of "monster", and John Libet is probably the scariest and most pitiful character in this work.

John Libet has a magical attraction, he can tell who is the 'monster' in human skin from the crowd, and then use his tongue, his mind, and his eyes to make these 'monsters' Monsters' become his 'friends' and are used by him.

Whether it is a serial murderer who had an unfortunate childhood, an egoistic murderer with paranoid justice, or a potential murderer with delusional disorder, as long as he has killed someone and has broken away from the concept of ordinary people, Yu John From Libet's point of view, it was as obvious as a black sheep among a flock of snow-white lambs.

What Edogawa Ranpo wondered was how John found those murderers who had never been recorded and never showed their feet. As for how he found him, I am afraid that only John who is also a "black sheep" can know. knew.

The black sheep has the meaning of 'alternative, unfettered rule breakers', while the ordinary people are innocent and weak snow-white lambs.

Every night, these carnivorous 'black sheep' will take off their harmless masks, and show their drooling and bloodshot teeth to the real weak.

And John is the strongest of these 'black sheep'.

He can easily read every thought in the brains of these black sheep, and will appear as the only friend who understands them.

Originally, the thoughts of these serial murderers could not be understood by normal people with normal logic, but the card of John Libet was able to understand their thinking unimpededly, and use this thinking to request them to act. Help this poor and helpless 'friend' with a helping hand.

This is the same power that human beings can have, just like Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning ability.

If Professor Moriarty's method is to change a person's character and heart to manipulate the other person, then John is to control others through understanding and analysis.

Kiyomaru Kunihide's case was instigated by John to Tamura, but Tamura didn't even see John's face and didn't know John.

After John selected Kiyomaru Kunihide as his target, he quickly found the best person to execute the conviction—that is Tamura.

As a low-level worker, Tian Cun is not well educated. His only hobby is to spray graffiti on the walls. However, he was rewarded across the class for his bravery once, which made him look forward to the next "bravery".

And John just suggested Ninagawa Takako to put pressure on the police in the newspapers. Billboards in the streets and squares kept reporting this incident. Finally, at the place where Tamura often went for entertainment, only Tamura was painted with spray paint. Comprehensible prompts.

Where is Kiyomaru Kunihide hiding, and where should he be executed.

The final result of the case is that Tamura, the murderer who killed Kiyomaru Kunihide, insisted that he was not ordered by anyone, but that God gave him the mission to clean up the pests.

For the bet with Edogawa Ranpo, Joshua paid [-]% of his attention, not only using his own understanding of these characters, but also using the power of another card.

——Dark Star.

【ssr card dark star】

Explanation: From "Ranbu Qitan", it can be calculated by formula, how to get rid of the criminals hidden in the society in a form that does not violate the law.

Skill: Conviction Device.

Remarks: It is possible to twist a screw, thereby triggering continuous behavior, causing the sinner to die unexpectedly.

This ssr card is a program that executes calculations to a limited extent, as long as a small stone is dropped, the ripples will gradually spread out, and eventually the tiny ripples will form a tsunami that can swallow the wicked.

Car accidents, accidents, falls, tram runs...all of these are guided by procedural formulas, and cannot be considered crimes according to the current law.

And the executor who executes the program can destroy all the evils that parasitize the society. The characters who are both righteous and evil are symbols extending from the dark star, the manifestation of humanity, and the anonymity that serves all those who yearn for power and justice. The Conviction Device, its name is... Twenty Faces.

"This is Laplace's demon... a demon who interferes with reality and can even judge crimes."

Joshua also hesitated to release this demon, after all, this kind of thing is another level of danger.

But the Red Queen's investigation results were in front of him, even if Joshua wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he couldn't do it.

In this world where supernatural beings prevail, especially in these capitalist countries, the evils accumulated are deeper than what Joshua could have imagined.

The most dignitaries who created the island of Sodom, the politicians who secretly died of the old people who were old and frail and lost their creative value from the "flu", were unwilling to give pensions and benefits to the soldiers who fought on the battlefield. The high-level government officials who provide continuous medical services, what they can do to trample on human rights is simply beyond the imagination of the world.

Dirty blood is dripping from every pore, making people sick.

Even in Japan, which has not yet abolished the death penalty, there are very few death sentences in this country every year. Not only that, the average number of executions in these years is only six cases a year.

On the bright side, the purpose of not announcing the execution date of the death penalty is to make these prisoners feel the panic and despair of the victims before they die, but in reality?

From World War II to today's modern society, no more than 50 death row prisoners have been sentenced to execution.

Prisoners whose execution has been postponed indefinitely will never repent in their cells, and they can even get married in prison, complacently write their autobiographies, and become a treasure trove of "deep" sought after by the outside world - there is nothing more ironic than this up.

Japanese law stipulates that cases of the death penalty can be appealed indefinitely. There have been cases where the death penalty was sentenced to execution decades later.

--why is that?

Because every time a district court sentenced a crime to death, it had to send the verdict to the highest judicial institution, and the Minister of Justice personally signed the order, so that the verdict could take effect.

And there is also a very deep doorway in it - unless it is a special case, or involves politics (such as endangering national security), once the death sentence is signed, it means that the minister's political career has come to an end.

The juvenile criminal Fukuda Takayuki committed murder in 1999. After nine years of continuous litigation by the victim's family, he was finally sentenced to death. However, after 9 years, the verdict has not yet been executed.

In order to protect their interests and status, how many people can have the courage to sign a death sentence?

After weighing it up, Joshua finally decided to release this Laplace's demon—the weirdo with twenty faces.

Even if it's just a drop in the bucket, even if it's useless, but for those swimming fish trapped in the shallows, this is the hope for their weak resistance and survival.

And as the nemesis of the twenty-faced monster, it is also the antidote, and there is still Edogawa Ranpo in this world.

"Edogawa Ranpo...you are my medicine, my savior...and my condemner."

John murmured in a low voice, finally revealing his eyes and lips almost bent into a crescent shape.

Even this slightly distorted expression, with John's extremely handsome face, is like Faust possessed by Mephisto.

Joshua didn't plan to let John appear in Japan for too long, because no one knew better than him the helplessness and horror of John Libet and the weird twenty-faced face.

Therefore, the only person who can stop John and the weirdo with twenty faces is Edogawa Ranpo, who is a famous detective.

Of those perverted pedophiles who raped and killed young children, and those murderers who used mental illness to escape crimes and kept their names incognito, only some of them were shot by John, and a large part of the rest were done by the "Weird with Twenty Faces".

This program screens the characters, allowing righteous passers-by and hateful but powerless avengers to convict.

Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning ability can be called a bug. No matter how long the history is and the evidence is insufficient, if he glances at it, at most it is the difference in time, and he can reason out the result.

"Super reasoning" is not actually his supernatural ability, but Edogawa Ranpo's wisdom and keen observation ability. In fact, the dark star and the strange man with twenty faces come from the works of the famous writer Edogawa Ranpo The spin-off drama "Ranbu Qitan".

As the original author, Edogawa Ranpo went to solve the case made by the weird man with twenty faces. It really has a wonderful sense of time travel.

"In the next game, Ranpo Edogawa should be able to deduce the existence of the weird man with twenty faces..."

John put his hand to his forehead and smiled faintly.

"But Laplace's demon has been completely released, even if a detective wants to press it back... it's too late."

The author has something to say: Anti-bar: The views of the characters in this article do not represent the author's views, everything is for the plot!

And Takayuki Fukuda really committed a heinous crime...and the lawyer's defense also made people angry

I will not describe the case history, but I will present the defense opinions of the lawyer team at that time:

"The defense team claimed that Fukuda hugged Yayoi because he lacked maternal love, and that it was negligent death, not planned rape.

Another lawyer argued for Fukuda that Fukuda believed that as long as the sperm was sent into the victim's body, the victim would be brought back to life.

As for strangling Xixia's little sister with a rope, he didn't intend to kill her, because he wanted Xixia to stop crying, so he just tied a bow around her neck.

In the end, Fukuda put the bodies of the two in the storage cabinet because Fukuda believed in the existence of Doraemon, and Doraemon would help him solve the problem. "
