Chapter 1552 Scarlet Invitation
Kudo family mansion.
As Shuichi Akai spoke, the atmosphere at the dinner table became increasingly solemn.
As Akai Shuichi's words fell, the room fell into silence. Only Kizaru was left eating food by himself like an outsider, as if he couldn't feel the depression caused by the silence.
As time went by, Toru Amuro's expression became more and more gloomy, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing, even making people breathless.
After a long time, Amuro looked up with an ugly expression, with a ferocious look in his eyes as if he wanted to eat someone: "You want to tell me that Scotland's death has nothing to do with you, and there is no reason for my hatred towards you.
On the contrary, it was my footsteps at that time that made you think that the enemy was coming over, causing that tragedy. Was it all because of me!?"
"No, I never felt that way, and I just objectively recounted what happened before you arrived."
When Shuichi Akai heard Toru Amuro's words, he shook his head calmly: "When I was in the organization, Scotland and I were partners, and I knew very well what kind of person he was.
But his gentle nature was not suitable for an undercover mission, so I wanted to send him away after he was exposed.
I am not someone who regards other people's lives as nothing, not to mention that they are on the same side as me.
I would not kill my comrades just to stay in the organization and gain their trust."
""
Toru Amuro fell into silence again after hearing Akai Shuichi's words. Even though he hated the other party, he also knew that the man in front of him had the character to disdain lying.
But the more so, the more torturous the truth at this moment is for Toru Amuro.
When he first realized that Scotland committed suicide, he hated Shuichi Akai, feeling that people like him should have more means to save his companions.
But as smart as he is, it's not like he hasn't considered other possibilities, but he doesn't dare to really face all this, or face other possibilities.
So he pushed Shuichi Akai forward as a shield in his heart, supporting himself with hatred to get through the grief of his friend's death.
But the man in front of him told him that he had planned to send the other person away, but it was his own arrival that indirectly led to Scotch's suicide.
The reality in front of him was like a sharp blade, cutting open the cruel reality with blood, forcing him to face it head-on.
At this moment, his eyes were a little dazed, and his rational brain also turned into a burst of anger.
He wanted to make a fuss and continue to blame Shuichi Akai for everything.
And this is also the easiest, because as long as he continues to think this way and continues to pin his hatred on Akai Shuichi, he can live easily.
At least you won't be filled with guilt, eating away at your heart bit by bit like thousands of ants eating your heart.
But is this easiest way really good?
This kind of behavior of not daring to admit one's own responsibilities and pushing everything to others to gain ease can certainly avoid pain, but it also abandons one's own pride.
Toru Amuro does not just talk about the country as his lover. He does not allow himself to sell his dignity and pride in exchange for his inner peace.
It is also painful for him to admit everything in reality, which means that he has to admit that he killed his friend.
The pain of being cut into pieces is not enough to describe this kind of regret.
These two feelings kept colliding in his heart, making Toru Amuro feel like his whole body was going to explode.
But on the surface, Toru Amuro remained calm, with his head lowered silently so that no one could see his eyes, only his breathing became slightly faster.
Feeling the severe atmosphere, Kizaru's expression on the side also became serious. Although he continued to eat, his whole body was tense and ready to deal with the possible storm.
In Karasawa's prediction, there are two nodes where conflicts are most likely to break out.
In order to prevent Conan's house from being demolished as a battlefield for the three of them, Tang Ze also made efforts and arrangements.
One is when Akai Shuichi first appeared. Given Toru Amuro's hatred for Akai Shuichi at that time, it was absolutely possible for him to start a fight without any explanation.
But this node was easily resolved by Tang Ze's arrangement.
He asked Kuroba Kaito to disguise himself as Oki Yao to come out to greet Amuro Tohru, and then asked Akai Shuichi to appear and prove that his reasoning was wrong in front of him.
The unexpected scene also made Toru Amuro confused about the situation for a while. The confusion and caution dispersed the hatred in his heart, preventing him from taking rash action immediately.
After entering the living room, Kizaru was also there, so Toru Amuro naturally became even more incapable of taking action.
Because after returning to his senses, he knew what he should do was talk to get more information, rather than making a big fuss without explanation.
But after the first conflict was resolved, it did not mean that everything was fine.
Because the truth told by Akai Shuichi was too cruel, it was not surprising to Karasawa how Toru Amuro would react. Even in his prediction, there was an 85% chance that this would require a big fight before he could talk properly.
If you can't accept the reality and continue to hate, you have to fight. If you don't believe what Akai Shuichi said, you have to fight. Even if you accept the fact, you still have to vent.
Various circumstances seemed to indicate that the three of them were going to have a fight and then sit on the ruins before they could talk properly.
But now, the volcano has reached a critical point and is about to erupt.
Amuro Toru's face became more and more ferocious, and in this suppressed silence, Akai Shuichi suddenly spoke.
"What I told you before are all objective facts that happened that day. It doesn't matter if you still think that I killed Scotland."
Akai Shuichi's words made Amuro Toru suddenly raise his head, his eyes filled with anger that had not dissipated: "What do you mean!?"
"That's what it means literally."
Hidehi Akai said calmly: "I have never denied my responsibility. I am responsible for Scotland's death.
Regardless of the process, I did complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization and further gained the trust of the organization.
So I am an accomplice in his death, and this is what I should go to."
"Stop joking, you accept his love but you want to give it to me!?"
After hearing Akai Shuichi's words, Toru Amuro was furious and slammed the table and stood up. He looked down at the man in front of him: "Don't look down on people!"
The reason why Toru Amuro is so angry is because Akai Shuichi's attitude is a kind of charity in his opinion.
Because Shuichi Akai is taking the initiative to bear the death of Scotland, this action is like saying:
——"It doesn't matter, you can continue to hate me. I owe him this. Now that he is dead, I am still with you as a good friend."
That's why Toru Amuro is so angry, because it is a humiliation for him, as if he is a child who does not want to face reality and needs to find someone to place his hatred on in order to survive.
