Troublemakers come to Yokohama

Chapter 11 Hyperreasoning & Stand alone

I don't know where I am.

Locked in a sealed room, Edogawa Ranpo felt that he was being moved, but he couldn't tell the direction clearly, and he could faintly feel that the direction of movement seemed to be always opposite.Without the slightest clue, it's impossible to figure out where Makishima Seigo is taking him.

The rooms are very luxurious.He was provided with a lot of snacks, desserts, and quite a lot of daily necessities, but Ranpo Edogawa still felt bad.

This room is a secret room.Absolutely closed secret room, no light, not even air circulation.There are at least 10 cameras installed in the room, and a small machine is exchanging air, absorbing carbon dioxide and ejecting stored oxygen.Based on yesterday's agreement, Edogawa Ranpo didn't think about going out, nor was he in the mood to explore the details of the house.

The light in the house is all lights, there is no natural light.There is no clock either.

Gradually counting the seconds in his heart, Edogawa Ranpo realized that a day and a night had passed.

He was very anxious.

Edogawa randomly tore open a bag of potato chips. It was his favorite flavor. He stared blankly at the potato chips in a daze, and had no intention of eating them.Imagine complaining unscrupulously like in the past, and suddenly found that the president is no longer by her side.

Except for the president, no one will understand him that much anymore.

How is the president?

I'm sorry, President.

I did not do what I promised you back then: "Don't put yourself in danger".There is no other way now.

Just as Edogawa Ranpo was trying to sort out his thoughts, light suddenly shone on his face——

The door opened.Movement also stopped.

Edogawa walked out in disorder, the light hurt his eyes.

He was led into a seemingly magnificent building, and was taken to a room to take a seat.

Among the seats surrounded by a circle and very close to each other, Edogawa Ranpo saw Kunikida Doppo sleeping next to him.It wasn't until a long bell rang that Kunikida Doppo slowly woke up from his deep sleep all night. He opened his eyes and looked around, "Where is this place? Mr. Ranpo, why are you here too! Are you still here?" have..."

Bad, bad.Edogawa Ranpo couldn't care less about answering Kunikida Doppo's question, he thought to himself, luckily Atsu-kun is not here.

There is still a silver lining.

【Tokyo Special Court】September 29 at [-]:[-] am

Makishima Shōgo was talking to a man.

The man appeared to be in his late fifties, spoke very calmly, and looked very decent in a well-pressed gray suit, but otherwise there was nothing unusual about it.

He is Naoki Fujisai, Secretary-General of Takuya Aso, Minister of the Interior and Chief of the Tokyo Division of the Ability Secret Service.

All those who knew his identity were very polite to him, because he represented the command and authority of the Supernatural Secret Service.

Makishima Shenghu expressed his greetings and thanks to him.

Fujisai Naoki replied: "Everything is what Mr. Aso means. I also hope that you can fulfill your promise to Mr. Aso."

On September 27, Makishima Seigo and Aso Takuya reached a deal over the phone.The arrival of Fujisai Naoki is to fulfill part of the deal.

Makishima Shenghu said with a smile: "Of course. Then I will start."

It's almost time for this trial to begin.

Naoki Fujisai nodded and replied: "Based on the second article of the supervision regulations on supernatural powers [God's Judgment], please allow me to observe here as a supervisor. If there is no accident beyond the third subsection of the second article of the supervision regulations I will abide by the principle of confidentiality afterwards.”

Makishima Seigo also knows the regulations of the Tokyo Special Trial Office - the exercise of [God's Judgment] requires the supervision of personnel from the Supernatural Secret Service Division of the Tokyo Ministry, and must be a second-level authority.It should be said that Fujisai Naoki came just in time.

Makishima Shōgo paid tribute to Fujisai Naoki and left the room.

He pushed open the door of the next room.This is the room where Edogawa Ranpo is.

There is a small round table in the room. The round table looks very crowded, with five seats compactly placed.On the left of Edogawa Ranpo sits Kunikida Doppo, on the right sits an emaciated woman holding a young girl, on the opposite seat sits an old man with a kind face, and the opposite seat is vacant .

A frightening person hangs a black long sword above each seat. The long sword is supported by the rope hanging from the roof, and it looks very fragile.Like it's about to fall.But the few people in the seats could no longer care about the long sword above their heads.After trying to get out of the seat and failing, they had to secretly wonder what the hell this is.

These are all scenes automatically generated by the ability [God's Judgment].

When Makishima Shōgo opened the door and came in, Kunikida Doppo was talking to Edogawa Ranpo and the mother and daughter next to Ranpo, his expression was a little flustered, and his movements revealed his urgent mood.

The thin mother hugged the young and beautiful girl tightly, trying to protect her tightly in her arms.One of her hands quietly reached into the inner interlayer of the side of the clothes in her arms, and she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had touched something.

The old man on the opposite side stared at Kunikida Doppo with a gloomy face just after waking up. When he saw Makishima Seigo, his expression became pleasantly surprised, and he shouted "Makishima-sama—"

He was none other than Kunihiko Ito, who immediately surrendered to Makishima Shōgo after waking up the night before.He believes that his worth can make Makishima Shenghu protect him.He didn't know where he was at the moment, and he was naturally very pleasantly surprised to see the figure of Makishima Seigo.

Makishima Shrine walked towards the round table, he didn't seem to care about the black sword hanging above, and he took a seat directly.Relax like sitting on the beach on vacation, not like sitting on the bench.

The expressions of several people are in stark contrast - helplessness, worry, panic, joy, and pride.

Facing the eyes of several people, Makishima Shenghu opened his arms and introduced, "This is the 'Tokyo Special Trial Institute', this is the supernatural power [God's Judgment], it can convict and judge criminals through the rules of truth, in front of it Evil will disappear without a trace."

Hearing this, the others didn't respond, but Kunikida Ranpo slapped his hands on the table in shock and said, "It's actually here! I heard from the president that it was rumored that relying on supernatural abilities mainly targets recidivists with supernatural abilities. An institution that conducts trials with the heinous inanimate beings."

Immediately, Kunikida looked at Makishima Seigo, "Is it your fault this time, kid? How dare you sit on the bench!" This is the so-called "truth acting on behalf of" and "absolute justice" ability!

Makishima Seigo smiled back at Kunikida Doppo.

Hearing this, Kunihiko Ito's expression became flustered. He struggled desperately and called Makishima Seigo's name to seek help. His expression was ferocious, and his movements showed a trace of despair; hugged together.

At this time, Makishima Shogo proposed to "start the [God's Judgment] and start the 'Explosion in the Old Yokohama Seaside District' event process statement."

A mechanical female voice sounded, "Received the trial proposal from Makishima Seigo, the supervisor is already in place, activate the mute mode of the judged. Turn on the video." At this time, everyone found that they could not make a sound, as if the vocal cords were blocked. Rules bind the same.

The light screen unfolded in front of everyone in an instant, quickly replaying all the events from noon to night that day.There is even a scene where Makishima Shenghu pressed the hypnotic gas injector command at the last moment.

This is the whole process of the incident recorded by Makishima Shenghu with a camera.

After the image on the light screen was played, the mechanical female voice sounded again:

"The seat personnel were detected——Edogawa Ranpo's judgment is the truth, and the ban on Edogawa Ranpo's unit is released. Please state the speculation." Hearing this sentence, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't stop Survive sudden chills.

It's actually this kind of pattern... This ability itself can't think, but can only use rules to judge whether other people's thinking is in line with the truth?

Damn it! !

The great detective with outstanding IQ and talent can see through the truth of the matter at a glance, but he is defeated by not understanding people's hearts.

His thoughts spewed out while watching the video, and the conspiracy between the cases was easily exposed by him, but Edogawa Ranpo couldn't control his own thoughts at all—this is exactly his talent [super reasoning]!

So the trap is here...Damn it, Makishima Shōgo must have cleared his mind just now.Edogawa Ranpo wanted to keep his mouth shut, but under the drive of the supernatural ability, he opened his mouth and said what he was thinking when he watched the video just now:

"The old man who killed the puppet has nothing to say. The main culprit in the bombing is Yuriko Nakamura, and the accessory is Aiba Aya who made the bomb." Words continued to flow out of his mouth.

"Aiba Aya wanted to fake the bombing as an illusion that she completed it alone, so she even condoned Yuriko being turned into a doll, so that Yuriko was innocent. But in fact Aiba Ling could not fully carry out the bombing. A seriously ill It is difficult for seriously injured people to bury bombs even if they have wheelchairs, but children can go anywhere without being suspected. The key evidence is the footprints of the outer village. This explosion is not only the old village, but also the outer village. Bombs were buried in almost every household in the house. This was definitely planned for a long time, and by zooming in on the footprints outside the house, you can vaguely see that the footprints are not big, and they are about the size of a child. In addition, a lot of information this time, such as the hiding place, is Yuriko conveyed it to her. It should be said that the real criminal mastermind is this child."

Edogawa Ranpo is generally unwilling to explain the reasoning process that seems to him to be too simple to be more clear to mediocre people, but under the expectation of his companions, he will more or less explain it.

Today is undoubtedly the worst reasoning, Edogawa Ranpo can't control himself at all, analyzing the context of the whole case, and the hidden truth that shouldn't have been unearthed.His mouth is still moving:

"Aiba Ling has received a good education. As an adult and living in the village for more than ten years, she has the possibility to collect materials to make bombs. The detonation of bombs requires skill, and she cannot detonate independently with her ability, let alone It was detonated in a large number at one time. What's more, judging from the traces of the wreckage, it has surpassed the level of self-made bombs. This is the use of Nakamura Yuriko's ability. She must be able to control the explosion time of the bombs, and it should be possible to a certain extent Increase the explosive power of the bomb."

Sitting in her mother's arms, Yuriko stared at Edogawa Ranpo with her eyes wide open.Her mother squeezed her hand tightly, which made her feel a little pain. She didn't say anything, but held her mother's hand instead, as if to comfort her.Aiba Ling hugged Yuriko tightly, opened her mouth to argue, but found that she couldn't make a sound.

The mechanical female voice stated:

"The inference is in line with the truth, and now the trial begins: Ito Kunihiko, a B-level dangerous ability user-abduction, rape, intentional homicide, and corpse crime. Immediate punishment."

"Yuriko Nakamura, B-level dangerous ability user-intentional homicide, endangering public safety. According to Article 2 of Chapter [-] of the Criminal Trial Regulations for B-level and above dangerous ability users, the regulations on exemption of minors are not applicable .immediate sanctions."

"Aya Aya—crime of illegally manufacturing explosives/explosives. Sanction immediately."

With the disappearance of the female voice, everyone raised their heads——

I saw two swords of Damocles falling down.

Kunihiko Ito yelled "Makishima-sama" and wanted to beg him, even though he knew that he was given up the moment he woke up today.

It's just that the conspiracy of more than ten years has come to nothing, and Makishima Shenghu is the last straw that can save him.

Before he could finish his sentence, a long black sword directly pierced his throat, but miraculously, not much blood was splashed out.

The expression on his face was frozen in fear, and the evil puppeteer died on the spot.

On the other side, Aiba Ling fell down as silently as possible, she wanted to use her body as a shield to protect her child.

Yuriko shed tears, and she hugged her favorite mother and her patron saint tightly.

The sword of Damocles pierced the two hugging people.

The black sword pierced through Aiba Ling's lower abdomen, severely wounding her in an instant.Then it traversed down and pierced Yuriko's heart.

Right to the heart.

Yuriko's blood splashed on Ling Aiba's face, the mother's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that she was still alive, but her young daughter had already passed away.

Kunikida Doppo's eyes were wide open, with a ferocious expression, he watched this scene closely and couldn't look away.

He was trembling with anger.

Why should victims be punished?

Why are innocent children condemned!

Why why why why why why! ?

Emotion and reason clashed in Kunikida Doppo's head, he had a splitting headache, and he couldn't even hold the "ideal" booklet in his hand as the carrier for the implementation of the gripping ability.

Anger burned his chest.Forbidden by the ability to make a sound, Kunikida Doppo opened his mouth wide and roared silently, the expression of anger almost frozen on his face.But no one can confide, and can't figure it out.

Because this is a trial conducted by the fairest ability in the world, which is basically equivalent to the ideal itself.

His ideal.

He hopes to save weak children and women, and to punish the wicked.

The "ideal" manual fell to the ground——

Kunikida's dream of being alone was shattered.

Makishima Seigo stared at Kunikida Doppo's expression, silently mourning for his ideal in his heart.So, Kunikida Doppo is a martyr, he is not Shinya cunning.It's hard for him to get out.

But Edogawa Ranpo closed his eyes reluctantly, and did not look in the direction of Yuriko and Kunikida Doppo. At this time, he only had the right to state the case, and could not speak to help his poor junior.But there is one last hope, maybe it can help Kunikida Doppo cheer up.

Edogawa Ranpo clenched his fists tightly, looked at Makishima Sego, who was facing him, and planned to use a fatal blow.Since Makishima Seigo has sat on the seat of trial, while enjoying the right to submit evidence, he must be burdened by his actions.This is a double-edged sword!

He did not question the guilt of Makishima Shenghu who stunned several people last night.According to the operation mode of [God's Judgment], a crime of this level would at most cause Makishima Seigo to be slightly injured, and would even be considered reasonable to control the suspect by default.He opened his mouth and said:

"Wait, there's one more person who hasn't been tried. It's you—Makishima Shōgo!"

Edogawa Ranpo raised his head and looked at Makishima Seigo and said: "Makishima Seigo is the guide behind the bombing, and it was you who led Ito Saki to entrust the armed detective agency, which catalyzed this tragedy. The evidence is on Ito Saki, she must be grateful for your recommendation of the Armed Detective Agency to help her solve her problems, she must remember you!"

"On the way back to Tokyo on the night of the 25th, Ito Saki, you talked to her at Yokohama Station and induced her." Edogawa Ranpo added.Even if he didn't see any video records, Edogawa Ranpo believed in his own reasoning, and the evidence of conviction was already there. He was waiting for the response of [God's Judgment]——

Makishima Shōgo didn't say anything, there was even a hint of a smile on his lips.His expression was surprisingly compassionate, he even closed his eyes, waiting for the sword of Damocles hanging high to fall, and there was even some anticipation in his mood.

a moment passed,

Nothing happened.

It's like this again, it's really boring.Makishima Shenghu opened his eyes, and the golden pupils were rarely reflected with hatred.

Unlike Dazai Osamu, Makishima Seigo pursues human self-awareness.

People should only act according to their own desires.

Only such a human being has a "self".

He denies a world without "self", just like the world controlled by Sibyl's absolute authority, just like some people in this world now, they are manipulated by supernatural powers, and even become slaves of supernatural powers.

The end of evil will probably be judgment.But this kind of tool does not seem to be qualified to sanction itself.Makishima Shenggo raised his head and opened his eyes.

He was bored by this feast, watching the evolution of the plot with golden pupils indifferently.His eyes fixed on Kunikida Doppo.

At this time, when Edogawa Ranpo and Kunikida Doppo looked at Makishima Seigo and thought about why he was not sanctioned, an accident happened——

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly felt a tingling pain from his abdomen.

A short dagger was inserted into his lower abdomen.

Edogawa Ranpo widened his green pupils, and looked at the seriously injured Aiba beside him in disbelief.

Aiba Ling had lost all her strength at this time.It is unbelievable that in such a short period of time, a severely wounded and weakened woman can pull out a hidden dagger and stab a grown man.

Neither Edogawa Ranpo nor Kunikida Doppo thought that she, the victim, would make a move at this time.

Those who hurt Yuriko should pay the price!

Aiba Ling is quite smart, she knows that Ranpo Edogawa is just being used, so what?If it wasn't for his deduction, at least Yuriko wouldn't be ruined here.She was planning to commit suicide here, as long as Lily Zi lived.

Aiba Ling glanced at Makishima Seigo with her last strength, it's a pity that she can't take revenge on him... The strength is gradually fading from her.

The verdict of [God's Judgment] sounded again, and Aiba Ling greeted death, looking forward to meeting Yuriko again.

The sword of Damocles hit her heart this time, and she even smiled at the end.

It happened so fast that even Doppo Kunikida didn't have time to react.

Kunikida Doppo's eyes were tearing apart, his body was full of surprise and sadness.The scene in front of him was almost a fatal blow to him.The fire of his anger was completely extinguished, and the light in his eyes disappeared instantly.

Justice punishes the weak and children.

The weak were forced to take up the hilt, and she stabbed the point at the innocent, becoming a murderer.

why why why why why why why...

Why does such an ideal exist! ?

Kunikida Doppo put his arms around his head, stared blankly at the round table in the middle, motionless.He broke down—

At this time, the trial has ended, and the power to restrain the few people no longer exists.

Makishima Seigo kindly helped the seriously injured Edogawa Ranpo to call the hospital, and then left the seat, he did not pay attention to Kunikida Doppo whose ideals had collapsed.

Before leaving the courtroom, Makishima Shrine took one last look at the floor of the room, where the supreme treasure was hidden under the inlaid marble floor.

Inlaid in the marble, the red supernatural crystal called [God's Judgment] glowed underground.

Its owner has been buried forever, which is the result of a transaction between Bai Qilin and the Supernatural Secret Service.

This is also why the intelligence of [God's Judgment] is so bad.

The lonely power has lost its righteous master.what a pity.

Makishima Shenghu didn't miss it any more, and quickly walked out of the courtroom.

After saying goodbye to Fujisai Naoki, Makishima Seigo left the special court alone, and he was preparing to return to Yokohama for the finale of the drama.

And Secretary-General Fujisai Naoki walked out of the special court, and after confirming that there were no stalkers and eavesdropping devices, he got into a car. He immediately took out the special equipment of the Supernatural Secret Service Division and connected his boss Takuya Aso to report: " Mr. Aso, after using [God's Judgment], Makishima Shōgo was not sanctioned."

Takuya Aso, chief executive of the Supernatural Secret Service Division in Tokyo, said with emotion, "The [God's Judgment] is still too limited. It can only be tried on the submitted case, and people who are extremely good at sophistry may escape trial."

Naoki Fujisai hesitated for a while and asked for instructions: "Then should I use that one? Ayatsuji Koichi, an A-level member of a super dangerous ability user."

"No." The other side of the phone refused without hesitation, "Makishima Seigo has enough value, there is no need to kill him."

The deepest reason Naoki Fujisai is very clear, under Ayatsuji pedestrian's ability [Another], as long as the case is solved, the murderer will [-]% die.But those who are most afraid of his ability are precisely the high-level personnel with blood on their hands.Because of this, Ayatsuji Xingren has been monitored by the Supernatural Secret Service, and proposals to assassinate him are proposed every week.

And Makishima Seigo has the backing of Jingtie Co., Ltd., and he must be legally convicted if he is to be sanctioned.If you want to take action against Makishima Shenghu, Ayatsuji pedestrian's causal ability to ignore different abilities may be the best way.But the uncertainty of Ayatsuji is much higher than the threat of the manageable Makishima Shōgo.

Thinking of the transactions in the past few days, Fujisai Naoki felt that Makishima Shōgo's thoughtfulness and ability were strong, and felt that it was necessary to take certain measures to further restrict him.

Could it be that Mr. Aso is thinking... Thinking of this, even the battle-tested Naoki Fujisai took a deep breath.

At this time, Aso Takuya asked, "Is the handover operation of the port mafia going smoothly?"

Naoki Fujisai respectfully replied: "Very well, Shota Kurosawa of the Operations Section has received [lietome] in Yokohama, and is temporarily detained in YKK-05."

"Okay." The comm hung up.

The author has something to say:

Ability: [God's Judgment]

Owner: Codenamed TheLight (deceased)

Ability: Once an interrogation is called, punish the criminal strictly in accordance with truth and law.

Ability: [Bomb Control]

Owner: Yuriko Nakamura

Ability: Control the explosion time of the prepared bomb, and increase the explosive power of the bomb when detonated.

There are other reasons why Makishima Shenghu escaped the sanction of supernatural powers. Friends who have watched "Psych-Pass" may be able to guess, and I will explain it later.
