Accidental Death

The live broadcast entrance appeared at six o'clock in the evening.

When he received the news, Yan Tsuji was staying in the detective agency to browse through the information of the victim who was recently killed by Twenty Faces brought by Tsujimura Fukatsuki.

Twenty-nine people were killed by Twenty Faces and his imitators in just five days.

Just looking at the length of the list of victims, the madness of these radicals is no less than three years ago.

After the live broadcast started, Tsujimura Fukatsuki was the first to learn of the incident.

In the past few days, she was arranged by Ango Sakaguchi to come to the detective agency to assist Ayatsuji Xingren, in order to hope to make a breakthrough in the matter of twenty faces.

It is a pity that Twenty Faces has obviously planned this incident for a long time, and even though the police tried their best, they failed to find any clues about him.

Knowing that Tsujimura Fukazuki and Ayatsuji Xingren were together, Sakaguchi Ango called her immediately to inform her of the incident. By the way, he also asked Ayatsuji Xingren to pay attention to this live broadcast and cooperate with the incident when necessary.

"Don't you need to go to the scene?" Yan Tsuji pedestrians threw aside the materials in their hands, and glanced at the live broadcast room titled "Time of Judgment" on the phone screen.

A few seconds ago, the black screen in the live broadcast room was switched to a night scene above a tall building.

The building in the picture appears to be a radio tower somewhere in Tokyo.

"Yes," Tsujimura Fukayue nodded, and said hesitantly, "Senior Sakaguchi thinks that the purpose of the twenty faces is not clear. The other party deliberately made so many arrangements for you before, and now they rashly let you go to the scene. Maybe there will be unexpected things. trouble."

With that said, Tsujimura Fukatsuki couldn't help looking at the live broadcast.

Admittedly, this is currently the safest approach, but is it really that simple?

If Twenty Faces really wanted to meet Ayatsuji Xingren, I'm afraid he wouldn't give up easily.

"I see." The detective responded casually, as if he had expected it long ago, without making any comments.

……

7:00pm, Meguro-ku, Tokyo.

The towering broadcasting tower was surrounded by gathered reporters and crowds. Police officers in police uniforms were struggling to maintain order while discouraging people from leaving.

——This is the scene of the live broadcast of Twenty Faces.

Because of the recent incidents, the discussion of Twenty Faces was once at the forefront, and this time it attracted a lot of people.

"Haven't the twenty faces appeared yet?" Ango Sakaguchi spoke with some anxiety.

After checking the location of the live broadcast room, they immediately sent people to surround the broadcast tower, but Twenty Faces did not respond to this, as if they were not afraid.

This made Sakaguchi Ango even more uneasy.

"Yes, the live broadcast picture has not changed, and the aerial photography of the helicopter we sent cannot determine the position of the twenty-faced face."

Ango Sakaguchi raised his head and glanced at the stands of the broadcasting tower under the lights, full of doubts in his heart.

What exactly do you want to do with twenty faces?

Who is the so-called "time of judgment" trying to judge?

Are they not satisfied with ruling in the dark again and again, intending to perform a convict show in front of the public?

Sakaguchi Ango frowned.

He could already imagine what kind of huge waves would be created in society after doing so.

After a while, Ango Sakaguchi sighed and asked his assistant, "Have you not successfully cut off the signal in that live broadcast room?"

"Yes, there are more paths in this live broadcast room than imagined..." Halfway through the speech, the assistant suddenly exclaimed, "Wait, Mr. Sakaguchi, twenty faces appeared!!"

"what?!"

Sakaguchi Ango immediately snatched the mobile phone in his hand that was in the live broadcast room.

In the live broadcast, a young man in a white robe slowly walked up the high platform of the broadcasting tower.

On various online platforms, people watching the live broadcast finally boiled over.

[This is the twenty faces?Much younger than I thought? ? ? 】

【...Oh my god, he really came back to life!This is the same guy as the one from three years ago! 】

[Hey, didn't the police say that Twenty Faces was a fraudulent death?It's not resurrection at all! 】

[Do you believe that kind of deceitful words? ? ?The police must have said that because they were afraid of the power of Twenty Faces.How could he cheat death under the siege of so many professional heroes? 】

【This is real justice! 】

【Ahhhhhhhhh, so exciting, the title of the live broadcast room is Judgment, right?Who is he going to judge? ! ! 】

[Twenty Faces are resurrected! ! ! ! !Long live justice! ! ! 】

"Mr. Sakaguchi! There seems to be someone else behind Twenty Faces."

"Others?" Ango Sakaguchi looked at the aerial image he handed over, stunned, "This is..."

On the tower, Twenty Faces stopped.

Behind him, a dozen or so people in uniform walked past him to the edge of the stands.

These people were of different ages and genders, and they seemed to have nothing in common, nor did they look like the previous twenty-faced criminals.

"Can you confirm the identities of these people?" Ango Sakaguchi asked anxiously, the ominous premonition in his heart getting stronger and stronger.

"The people behind have been contacted to investigate, but it will take time!"

"Let the professional heroes on standby on the helicopter be ready, and if something is wrong, act immediately and arrest the twenty-faced face!" Sakaguchi Ango commanded.

And Twenty Faces finally said the first sentence after the live broadcast started: "Now there are eleven hostages here."

As soon as the voice fell, the comments in the live broadcast room exploded again.

【hostage? ?Isn't twenty faces the embodiment of justice?These seem to be just ordinary people, right?What does he want to do? ? 】

[Hahaha finally revealed his true colors and wanted to attack ordinary people?It's disgusting. 】

【Oh my god... what does he want to do? ? 】

Twenty Faces didn't continue to say anything, but looked at the girl on the far left.

The latter looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a beautiful lotus root pink dress, but with two extremely ugly scars on his face.

Sensing the gaze of Twenty Faces, she smiled back at him.

Then, she closed her eyes tightly, held back the fear in her heart, and stepped forward.

"——Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" screams erupted from the crowd of onlookers.

The girl's petite body fell from the tall building, and a bloody flower bloomed on the ground.

Then came the voice of Twenty Faces:

"Her name is Megumi Sakai. Three years ago, a classmate at the school scratched her face with a knife during a conflict. Afterwards, the school and the police only regarded it as 'between the children' because of the power of the other party's family." Little friction'.

"She tried her best to prove the crime of the criminal, but in the end, her parents told her not to pester her anymore, so as not to affect her reputation. Even the neighbors and schoolmates around her gave her pointers."

"——she came here voluntarily this time." Twenty faces smiled, but this smile made everyone who looked at him shudder.

"Not only her, but everyone here came here according to their own will.

"This is the last resistance of the weak."

in the live room.

【...Is what he said true? 】

【So, everyone around Sakai must know the truth, but they still pretend not to see it. 】

[So desperate. 】

[She must have committed suicide because she was too disappointed.Everyone around her is a murderer. 】

【Is this society too dark...】

[Thinking that I might experience such a thing, I feel chills all over my body.Twenty Faces is probably because of this that they want to change this society. 】

Downstairs, Sakaguchi Ango's expression changed suddenly.

The purpose of the Twenty Faces seemed far more terrifying than he had previously imagined.

The object of judgment in "Time of Judgment" is not a certain person, but this society!

—Everyone is guilty.

What happened in the live broadcast room spread rapidly on the Internet like a plague, but Twenty Faces, who was in everyone's focus, didn't care at all: "From now on, a hostage will jump off the building every hour until you fulfill my request." .

"—Same as last time, my request is to meet Ayatsuji-sensei alone. If anyone other than him approaches, I will let all the hostages jump directly."

Downstairs, the atmosphere among several members of the police department in charge of commanding the scene seemed to be frozen.

"Everyone is on standby, don't provoke him." Ango Sakaguchi clenched and loosened his hand, he finally took a deep breath, "Call Mr. Ayatsuji."

……

It was already nine o'clock when Ayatsuji pedestrians arrived at the scene. During this period, another hostage jumped off the radio tower.

After the efforts of the police technicians, the signal of the Twenty Faces live broadcast room was finally cut off.Now the Internet can only understand the situation of the scene through fragmentary photos or videos.

At present, the number of people watching under the tower has not decreased but increased, and reporters from various newspaper offices have tried their best to squeeze into the scene and obtain first-hand information.

Because he was worried that Twenty Faces would let the hostage commit suicide again after the time was up, Ango Sakaguchi asked Ayatsuji to meet Twenty Faces without saying much.

The night engulfed the light, and the night approached quietly.

After boarding the radio tower, the detective looked indifferently at the spectators downstairs who surrounded the radio tower.

Under the dim light, his expression was unclear, but his ocher eyes were cold.

"'The Last Resistance of the Weak'—it is embarrassing that you can only prove your worth through death." A voice that only Ayatsuji pedestrians could hear suddenly sounded.

Kyogoku Natsuhiko—this annoying criminal who entangled Ayatsuji pedestrians like a ghost behind him suddenly appeared at this moment.

"Did you come out of nowhere just to express such meaningless feelings?" Ayatsuji pedestrians did not hide their disgust, "Such words from you will only make me feel sick."

"Don't say that, the old man is just a helpful old man." Jingji Xiayan shook his head and said helplessly.

"For example, now, if Ayatsuji-kun is willing to speak, I will definitely tell you the true purpose of the Twenty Faces."

He glanced at Ayatsuji Xingren, and then said: "But you should have already noticed it."

"Ah, indeed." The detective snorted coldly, "Resurrection, live broadcast, suicide show, he has created such a big battle, if I still can't find out, I should really jump from here. Hey, Jingji, it's true Don't have your handwriting?"

"Why? The old man didn't do anything."

"Really?" Ayatsuji pedestrians were noncommittal.

"However, this old man is very much looking forward to the next duel."

Kyogoku Natsuhiko said with great interest: "A detective who is recognized as a 'disqualified hero' because of his special abilities, and a criminal who is called a 'dark hero' because he punishes criminals. This kind of confrontation is really interesting!"

"Then you just watch carefully." After the detective said, he stepped into the illuminated stands and walked towards Twenty Faces.
