Chapter 47 Standing at the entrance to the Devil's Abyss
"Of course we..."
White Bird opened his mouth and stopped mid-sentence.
He is not qualified to decide life and death for others. He dares to sacrifice himself, but if he knows that there may not be a good result, who will rush forward with his head on his head.
"Humph, those high-sounding words you said are just a kind of idealism,"
When Hong Shi saw that he stopped answering, he sarcastically said: "Thankfully you are still the leader of the Criminal Division, and your impulsive mind is not as good as that of a pig."
Shiratiao suppressed his blush and was about to retort when there was a knock on the door.
"Boom!"
Tomoko walked in with a piece of information:
"Sir, two things."
"explain."
"First, according to your instructions, we arranged for people to persuade the old man to commit suicide. The old man did not agree.
Of course, we also considered that the old man is a Jehovah believer, so according to your instructions, the starting point of our persuasion was to make the old man walk more comfortably. We did not tell the old man that if he committed suicide, it might trigger a confrontation between weirdos.
Thus solving Fujino’s weird problem.”
"Um,"
Hong Shi said: "This old man is quite kind, let's try our best not to embarrass him.
After waiting for the next resident, we can try to persuade him to choose a less painful way to commit suicide - since those debtors who have triggered Grandma's rules all committed suicide, we really need to try this path.
Although the idea of pitting humanoid grotesques against humanoid grotesques is very... very whimsical, we must try all possible means. Who knows if we will succeed next time?"
"second,"
Tomoko handed the information in her hand to Hong Shi,
"This is the relevant information for all the residents in the entire basement. Due to time constraints, there may be errors and omissions in some places."
"It's really fast, but there might still be mistakes? Miss Snail," Sequoia clicked her tongue twice, "I thought you would take it over after all the residents in the basement were dead."
"I just sorted it out,"
Tomoko pretended not to hear the other party's sarcasm and pointed to a place in the document, "There is an important discovery."
Sequoia followed her fingers and quickly locked his eyes on a woman's name - Chiyo Hasegawa.
The information at the back shows that the woman is 21 years old, works in a nearby restaurant, and recently moved here. The house number is D-020, and a photo of the woman is also attached.
"This name looks a bit familiar." Sequoia said.
"Chiyo Hasegawa..." Tomoko said: "She is the girlfriend of Kawamura Ryuichi who committed suicide because of the weird incident of Satomi's grandmother. After I saw this name, I immediately went to find out more, and then I found out that after Ryuichi's death, Chiyo temporarily
I live here. I analyze that Fujino’s coming here is probably closely related to Chiyo!”
Before, when Tomoko introduced the Fujino case to Red Shirt, she probably told her that when Fujino was still alive, he could always sense Chiyo's position no matter how far away it was.
However, Fujino seemed to be able to only sense the approximate range and direction at that time, and was unable to determine the specific location of Miss Chiyo.
Now that Fujino has turned into a monster, he is very likely to follow Chiyo's aura to the basement of the Nara apartment.
Recalling Fujino's actions of knocking on doors one by one, we can guess that even if it turned into a weird thing, he still couldn't accurately locate Chiyo, so he turned the original process of looking for Chiyo into the current knocking rule.
This is the evolution from reality to grotesqueness, and rules are created based on the behaviors and habits during life.
Although Tomoko has seen such cases in weird training courses before, for newcomers, what they see in reality and what they learn from books are completely different concepts.
"That's right,"
Sequoia slapped the table, "This is a very feasible solution! Since the other residents are just innocent victims and Chiyo is Fujino's real target, we can first try to adjust Chiyo to room D-004...
…”
Tomoko said: "Considering that Miss Chiyo's spiritual power is much higher than that of ordinary people, can we prepare a soul-exploding bead for her to prevent her from turning into a monster later..."
"Okay, wait!"
As the red shirt spoke, he suddenly turned to look at Bai Niao, the corners of his mouth raised, "Of course, this matter must be approved by the White Bird Police Department first."
"Um?"
Baitiao was stunned for a moment.
"It's time to explain the current situation to you——"
Red Shirt tilted his head and looked at White Bird with a playful expression.
"According to our analysis, if Chiyo is moved to room D-004, Fujino's weirdness can be ended 80% of the time.
However, this means that we, the police who maintain social fairness and justice, push innocent citizens directly to the crematorium. It is really not fair to Ms. Chiyo.
If the rooms are not changed, then the tenants before Chiyo will die innocently. But it is very likely that during the time when others continue to die, we can come up with a solution that can solve the weirdness without letting Chiyo die.
Find a way.
What should we do? Should we push Ms. Chiyo into the fire pit, or should we watch the tenants who could have been saved be approached one by one by Mr. Fujino?
The Shiratori Police Department, which firmly pursues fairness and justice and protects the safety of citizens, added, now, I leave the choice to you, you can make this decision."
Although Shiratiao is serious, he is not a fool. He immediately understood the intention of Hong Shi's words——
No matter which choice you make, you can't get the best of both worlds in the end, so let's just leave the conflict to Shiratiao, who was standing on the moral high ground just now. You can enjoy Shiratiao's jokes, and avoid giving others the excuse to cause trouble for the red shirt in the future.
.
Let's talk about the matter as it happened. What Hong Shi just said has already analyzed the whole matter thoroughly.
How should we choose? Should we be responsible for one person or more residents?
Fundamentally speaking, if you choose to let Chiyo go to the front room, it is not just a question of who is responsible.
It was the police, or rather Shiratori, who was now in control of the decision-making process, who personally pushed Chiyo into Fujino's wood crusher. Wasn't this a murderer in a certain sense?
What troubles White Bird the most is——
If you choose to let Chiyo not go to the top for the time being, but wait according to the original order of the rooms, during the waiting period, maybe Hong Shiro can think of other solutions, and Chiyo may survive in the end.
Even if this sentence "There may be other solutions" is just a joke made by Red Shirt to deliberately embarrass White Bird, White Bird must seriously consider it and must not treat it as a joke.
This is really...if Chiyo is destined to be killed by Fujino sooner or later, Shiratori still has enough reasons to persuade Chiyo to sacrifice voluntarily, because it is really a last resort.
And the situation like this now... doesn't allow for careful consideration at all.
Having said that, the red shirt who handed the knife to Shiratori was really a living devil.
Who would have thought that the other party could kick the white bird off the moral high ground with just a multiple-choice question and stand at the entrance to the devil's abyss.
For the white bird, the simplest and most trouble-free way at this moment is to kick the ball back and return the knife to the red shirt.
But in doing so, it is equivalent to the white bird giving up its position, giving up its persistent pursuit of fairness and justice, and hiding like a shrunken turtle.
From now on, Shiratiao no longer has the confidence to stand up and speak in front of Red Shirt, or even in front of all the weird investigators.
Looking further into the future, if he becomes a deserter in this fierce battle, Shiratiao will doubt whether he will have the confidence to continue to stand in the ranks of the police force that protects fairness and justice from now on, and go on unswervingly.
.
"How about it? You haven't decided yet? But time seems to be very tight - Fujino will go into the basement soon,"
Hong Shi gently tapped the watch on his wrist and looked at the white bird jokingly,
"If Shiratori-san is really having a hard time making a choice, you can give the choice back and let me be the villain. Anyway, we weird investigators who don't care about human life are not bad at receiving bad reviews this time, haha."
As Hong Shi said, he stood up and walked towards the door.
"etc!"
White Bird stretched out his right arm and held Red Shirt in front of him.
