Chereads / Conan: I'm Really a Good Person / Chapter 301 - ‘Refute’

Chapter 301 - ‘Refute’

Gin and Akai Shūichi are similar, but not exactly alike.

They are both important NPCs with a certain amount of patience and can tolerate the player's misbehavior to a certain extent, and are somewhat of a newcomer's mentor.

But the former is [Organization Newcomer] in the novice tutor, patience MAX, the face of the player's recklessness, most of the time are jumping eyelids in place to stand so a moment, hard to slow down to re-learn to breathe, will pinch the nose to tolerate down, like a puffer fish, a rage will only be angry fluffy up.

As long as the player's hand is hard enough, you can still pinch it a few times for fun, and continue to do whatever you want.

The latter is an important NPC in [FBI Newcomer], and has a lot of patience...

Not very good.

The retaliatory nature of the latter is suspected to be MAX.

Once the player does something wrong, he will chase the player and bite him, not letting go of his mouth, and when there is the right time, he will come uninvited and retaliate against the player for doing something wrong, which is the character of being bitten by someone, and then biting him back two or three times.

Their philosophies are also different.

One of them is from the organization, but he is a bit too kind, and recently he has a bad tendency to take world peace as his wish, so he is too soft.

One of them is a member of the FBI, but he is openly cooperating with 'Satan', and in order to find out the truth about his father's disappearance, he doesn't hesitate to paint himself in black like oil, and he has a tendency of egoism that is not afraid to take in all kinds of food and drink, black and white.

Of course, in Ichijō Mirai's case, they also share the same identity: victim.

Like right now.

Ichijō Mirai picks and chooses his stories in a serious manner, slandering two people in one breath, quite satisfied, and summarizing, "This is me, ahem."

"These are my two friends."

And then, with a mock admonition, "Don't tell anyone, they'll be upset."

It didn't matter if they did, because by the time the gossip reached the two victims, they wouldn't know how long it had been going on, how many times it had been passed on, how much it had changed, and how much they wouldn't be able to find out who the culprits were.

...if they didn't follow the principle of blaming Ichijō Mirai for their indecision.

Besides, Morofushi Hiromitsu will soon forget.

The only one who was happy was Ichijō Mirai, who was slandering him with his words.

Morofushi Hiromitsu:"..."

"Well," He responded vaguely, skimming over Ichijō Mirai's expression as if he didn't care much, "I won't tell anyone else about you, your friend."

"I haven't told anyone else before either."

Looking at the factory through the sniper scope again, he changed the subject, "I saw Furuya, and they took out the robber who was on guard."

It wasn't long before Furuya Rei's voice came over the intercom, "Hello?"

"I don't suppose you guys are talking about some secret we don't know about? Date and I took care of the robber on guard, we're going to start the interrogation next, over."

After this message, the electricity paused for a few seconds, then resumed with a new message.

Furuya Rei began to pry information from the robbers.

He was obviously a bit rusty as it was his first time interrogating someone, but he played it cool and fierce, and with Date Wataru in attendance, he was able to get a lot of information out of him without any problems.

Intelligence 1: The hostage is in good condition.

Although the robbers are not skilled, but also not the first time to catch a fat sheep, some experience, after bringing back the hostage directly put her in a closed house, except for three meals a day, the robbers are not allowed to go in, so as not to make the hostage shocked and accidents.

Information 2: The robbers have contacted the hostage's family and have demanded 100 million yen from the detective.

This price is probably the family's tolerance limit, after a lot of the whole time by the robbers to grasp the pull before settling, the robbers boss is quite satisfied, the first time to inform all the robbers, so that everyone from the urgent news brought debuff to break out.

Intelligence three: the hostage has a problem, probably the ears can not hear or mouth can not speak, or what is autism and other psychological diseases, in short, is a special school students.

Families who can send their children to special schools, even if they are not rich, they can barely afford it, and they also love their children, so they can squeeze out a lot of money by pressing hard, which is also the reason why the robbers are targeting the students of special schools.

Intelligence 4: The robbers don't intend to kill the hostages.

Although the hostages got a look at their faces, the news had already published the faces of some of the robbers...

By ripping off the hostages despite the news coverage, they feared they'd become a model and be hunted down by a frenzy, possibly even by the FBI.

According to the robbers, there's been some chatter among Tokyo criminals for a long time: if they make a big deal out of the crime, will they be pursued by the FBI?

The FBI has been quiet since the last time they came to Tokyo and got slapped in the face three times, but now every big case could be a sign that they're back in the game.

Intelligence 5: They kidnapped the hostages and sent a relatively gentle-looking man in police uniform to disguise as a police officer before coaxing the children away.

Therefore, the police may need to pay special attention during the rescue so that their uniforms don't scare the hostages and cause a bad situation.

...Huh?

Ichijō Mirai lowered his eyes in confusion, pupils rounded, "What?"

Unlike a cell phone, a walkie-talkie is not a real-time call, it is a one-sided communication where you press a button, talk for a certain period of time, and then release your hand to send out what you recorded during that period of time. At this point, the one-sided communication on the walkie-talkie continues, with the robbers stumbling over their information, and Furuya Rei giving just the right amount of hushed threats when the robbers hesitate.

They could not hear Ichijō Mirai's doubts.

Only Morofushi Hiromitsu saw the question mark that seemed to pop out of Ichijō Mirai's head, and subconsciously answered, "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" After asking the question, he glanced at the police uniforms he and Ichijō Mirai were wearing, and immediately responded, "It doesn't matter, does it? You didn't come all this way for nothing."

Ichijō Mirai hadn't just brought back six sets of clothes that happened to be unattended by a sober man, he had also brought back a large box of guns and ammunition, and the clothes were incidental, the guns and ammunition were primary, even if the hostages might have developed a sense of fear and distrust of the police uniforms.

"No, you don't understand what I'm feeling right now," Ichijō Mirai took the walkie-talkie and asked the person across from him politely and earnestly, "Furuya-san, would you mind asking again what the hostages are afraid of?"

What are they afraid of?

He's read the file twelve times, and he's wearing a police uniform every time!

What does the hostage fear about the uniform? She's at ease! She's got blue stripes! She's not afraid of the uniform!

That's a lie!

Wait a minute. 

Each time, along with the surprised "Fox!", there are four blue bars, two of which are descending and two are ascending.

Each time, along with the surprised ''Fox! sound, there were also four blue bar alerts, two of which were falling and two of which were rising.

It would be reasonable to assume that the two falling cues were not both due to the sudden shock of seeing a person, which caused the blue bar to fluctuate, but that one was due to the sudden shock of seeing a person, and one was due to Ichijō's shock of seeing a police officer's uniform.

...What is the reason for that blue bar boosting tip?

If it wasn't the uniform, what else could have given the hostage a sense of reassurance and trust?

"Is the second half unclear?" Furuya Rei's voice came through the walkie-talkie, and although he was a bit puzzled, he repeated, "Police officers."

"The robbers said the hostages were coaxed away by robbers disguised as police officers, and that they might be afraid of people in police uniforms."

He added, "But he said to prevent attention, the robber only disguised for ten minutes, take the hostage to the car and then immediately changed, the hostage should be able to understand that the person who took himself is not the police."

"According to the robber explained, the child said he was ten years old, already an understanding of the age... but still a child, and was kidnapped in an unexpected situation, may not be able to react, or emotions prevailed."

As he said that, like Morofushi Hiromitsu, he thought that he had reacted to what Ichijō Mirai was concerned about, and immediately spoke out urgently, "Wait! I don't have a police uniform, but I can't send it back!"

"Ahem, no, I mean, the pistol you brought is very useful, without it, Wataru and I wouldn't have been able to subdue a robber so quickly, we need the pistol so much that we'll have to equip it in the near future, can you wait until the operation is over, then send the pistol back along with the useless uniform?"

What's that?

It's as if Ichijō Mirai is such an unstable bomb that Furuya Rei is worried that he'll be so upset that he'll send back the uniform right away.

It's a slander.

After Furuya Rei's urgent dissuasion was played, the room fell silent, and Ichijō Mirai pondered, not speaking.

It was Morofushi Hiromitsu who finally spoke.

He nodded silently, "Rei is right."

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry, I'm the one who's in a hurry, never mind I'm in a hurry, I'm really in a hurry," Ichijō Mirai turned his head to Morofushi Hiromitsu and inquired earnestly, "Suppose, I mean suppose,"

"Suppose I had a friend who had worked so hard to save someone a dozen times that I was almost completely focused on the hostage, thinking long and hard about what she liked and hated, trying to gain a few moments of her trust, and giving her the reassuring feeling that she had been 'saved,' "

"But, after spending a long time, he realized that the way he appeared at the beginning was wrong, he unintentionally appeared as a robber in front of the hostage, and that, most likely, was the reason why he never got a perfect score,"

"Excuse me, should my friend quit the game immediately, immediately, or immediately?"

Morofushi Hiromitsu:"..."

At first, Ichijō Mirai's speech is fast, but as he speaks, it slows down, and in the last sentence, it takes him almost two or three seconds to bite out a complete syllable, giving him the aesthetic of being able to go offline and disappear for years on the spot.

Morofushi Hiromitsu continued: "..."

"Uh," He gives up on the whole 'you've just stated the reason I have a friend, and you, my friend, I'm pretty sure you don't have a lot of friends other than us,' thing and focuses on Ichijō Mirai's words, attempting to translate what he understands them to mean, "You, I mean, it's justifiable that this friend of yours is, er, having a slip-up, right?"

"Sounds like he acted alone and rescued a hostage a dozen times?"

What's a dozen rescues...?

"Did he try to save her a dozen times by various means, from the moment he realized she was being held hostage, but was unable to save her until she was taken to the factory by the robbers?"

That would explain Ichijō Mirai's behavior of going straight to the factory after smelling the smell.

"It's only natural that she couldn't be rescued, isn't it?"

Morofushi Hiromitsu's expression was calm, as was his tone, "He was alone, while the robbers had so many,"

"And he had to take into account the safety of the hostages, from the description of 'a dozen times', the robbers didn't know about his attempts? If the limitation is that 'success will not harm the hostage, failure will not make the robbers angry with the hostage', it is normal that the rescue fails."

He lowered his sniper rifle, raised his hand to hold down Ichijō Mirai's shoulder, gazed into those red round-pupilized eyes, and repeated, "After all, he's only one person."

"It's hard not to fail when you can't interrogate the robber alone and extract important information such as 'the hostage was kidnapped by the fake police', and the hostage is in a state of shock, so as a rescuer you can't ask her questions that will cause her secondary damage, and you have to avoid the topic of the kidnapping as much as possible and try to calm her down, right?"

"Humans aren't octopuses or supermen who can rescue a hostage while taking another robber like a ghost, and then put him back after forcing him to say nothing about his capture..."

Morofushi Hiromitsu's voice trailed off.

He and Ichijō Mirai stared at each other, and after half a second, he said, "Your friend really seems to be able to do that."

Others may not.

Ichijō Mirai, however, had the ability to hold up a robber for a few minutes, and then rescue a hostage for a few minutes.

And the ability to silence a hostage-taker.

And the ability to make all the robbers shut up and pretend they don't know about the intruder and the hostage being rescued.

Morofushi Hiromitsu didn't see it with his own eyes, but his trust in it was 100%, and even if Ichijō Mirai's next words were, "I've come up with a way to save the hostages, if I take out all the robbers single-handedly and bring out the hostages, then I'll be able to do it successfully," he had no doubt about it.

Neither did he doubt that such dog talk would come out of Ichijō Mirai's mouth, nor did he doubt that Ichijō Mirai had the ability to practice dog talk.

It's just that...

"It's normal to save a life, isn't it."

Morofushi Hiromitsu was a bit vague, "If it's a mission against the enemy, it might be a bit of a shock for you to say, but no matter how difficult the mission is, I have no doubt that you'll accomplish it as if you were performing a miracle."

"But, if you're on a rescue mission,"

Failure, "is normal."

Ichijō Mirai: "?"

Who are you looking down on? You're looking down on a great player!

He angrily retorted, "I think so, but how would you know?"
