Chapter 201 Justice Interview
Nakano finally turned off the big screen, his voice heavy and depressed: "That's it... So far, the Fire Thallium Hero has killed four people."

"In fact, three-quarters of them were killed by him in the detention center after being arrested... This is a shame for the police."

"So, after even the prosecutors were brutally killed, the higher-ups finally paid attention and moved the Fire Thallium Hero here as quickly as possible, and directly applied the highest level of restraint measures you have ever seen..." Nakano walked to the reverse glass and pointed at the fire-thallium hero next door who looked like a cicada.

Hui Yuanchu only answered two words: "Really?"

Nakano glanced at Hui Yuanchu, as if he was confirmed to be a teammate, and suddenly returned to his usual careless demeanor: "...Okay, to be honest. I don't think it has anything to do with killing a few people. I'm afraid it's just because the higher-ups pay attention to the Fire Thallium Hero. What the prosecutor said was probably the truth - the people who were killed were all important witnesses related to the case of Representative Noda. But just as the special search-led investigation entered a critical juncture, the prosecutor's office was about to prosecute Representative Noda's case. At this critical moment, these people were all killed by the fire thallium hero."

He chuckled twice: "Because...this video must have been prepared by Bupa as internal information for Tokusou, and we would not have known it from the beginning. It was just because Bupo was killed accidentally, Tokusou recovered it The camera slowed down a step further, and I found the opportunity to make a copy of the images inside, and finally understood the key to the matter."

Then Nakano looked a little more serious: "I have received clear information that the special search will officially take over this case this afternoon."

"It doesn't make any difference to me. Anyway, as a criminal police officer, I continue to run errands for the prosecutors... However, it has an impact on you - because you want to meet the Fire Hero."

"The special search team is much stronger than us. Even if it is under the guise of a group, your reason for intervening in this matter is not sufficient after all, and you will definitely be rejected by them again. So, I'm calling you here now. ,

"——While the special search hasn't come yet, you should do what you want to do as soon as possible." Nakano raised his chin towards the one-way glass.

Hui Yuan nodded and thanked you first: "Thank you, uncle."

But then he touched his chin again and noticed something interesting from the attitudes of these people, including Nakano.

"But speaking of it, I think my reason is very good? The Fire Thallium Hero said that he can hear supernatural sounds. Isn't this the jurisdiction of the group?"

"You are talking about the so-called 'Whisper of Justice', right?" Nakano showed an uncertain look, "But it is more reasonable not to go against the prosecutor's inference. The dirty information about those three people was handed over by a third party. It’s for the Fire Thallium Hero. He’s just pretending to be a fool... This makes perfect sense."

"However, I have cooperated with the group many times. To be honest, thanks to you, I have indeed seen a lot of things that are completely unreasonable..."

After another moment of silence, as if he was thinking about something, he spoke again: "Forget it, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What's important is that the special search will definitely not believe it. The special search will definitely choose to believe the unbreakable prosecutor. inference, rather than believing in fire thallium. And..."

Nakano suddenly lowered his voice and said, "...and if Huo Thallium is telling the truth, then as an elite prosecutor, wouldn't Fupa be completely the same as those three scumbags? If bystanders form this impression, then what will happen to them? This is a major blow to the special search and even the prosecutor’s office.”

Hui Yuanchu turned his head and stared at Zhong Ye.

Nakano motioned to Hui Yuanchu to bring his ear closer, then bent down and whispered in his ear: "Two years ago, I handled a case. A woman engaged in the custom industry died of mechanical asphyxiation, and according to the situation at the scene, It is highly suspected that she was performing some kind of high-tech and dangerous service project at that time."

"The murderer left no evidence, so in the end the case made no progress and became a death case."

"But when I think about it now, I find that during that time, it seemed that Prosecutor Bupo had deployed many of our manpower to assist him in handling the prosecutor's self-investigation cases. In the process, he used the name of 'directing the investigation' 'For this reason, there seems to be more than reasonable concern about other cases we are handling..."

"...Think about what the hero of Fire Thallium finally said to Prosecutor Bupo?"

Having said it clearly enough, Hui Yuanchu nodded slowly.

Nakano also sat back, returned to normal volume and said: "So, brother, do you understand?"

"The special search must make Fupa, as the prosecutor, fundamentally different from those three scum in terms of the reason and meaning of death."

"So, Tesou will definitely adopt the unbreakable statement."

"This incident must be "Noda paid to kill," killing 'three tainted witnesses' and leading to the 'glorious death of a just prosecutor.'"

"This incident must not be about the 'fire thallium hero eradicating evil' and killing 'four evil people'."

"Special search, the investigation direction must be set like this."

"For these reasons, the special search will definitely prevent the group from getting involved." Finally, Nakano said seriously.

Haiyuan thought for a while and admitted that Nakano's guess might be quite accurate.

But he didn't care: "That way, it doesn't matter. Let them kill a few more evil people with thallium fire, and they will naturally recognize the reality."

"Just because I don't want this kind of thing to happen, I am anxious to ask you to come here now. I just hope that you can confirm the authenticity of the matter as soon as possible, and then if the matter is true, you can also get the order. Tesou also has nothing to say. Evidence, so that the group can take over the matter forcefully." Nakano said with a wry smile, "...Anyway, I don't want any more people to die."

"Isn't it okay if all the dead are evil people?"

It seemed like a question that should be answered without hesitation, but Nakano was silent for a moment.

"No one can guarantee that he is pure and innocent, and has never done any evil since he was a child..." He finally said, "If the fire thallium hero really has that kind of ability, then one day, his justice will be pronounced. Me? At least I have this kind of frightening thought."

Hui Yuanchu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, uncle, at least now it seems that Huo Zhan can't tolerate sand in his eyes. You see, you have seen Huo Zhan, aren't you living well?"

"...It's also possible that it will be my turn after the culprit is eliminated." Nakano shook his head, then pointed to the door, "You can go."

"You mean I'll go by myself? You won't take me?"

"I don't want to be another soul that dies at the hands of Huo Thallium, so just let me fish here for a while."

"Don't worry, you're fine. I promise I will protect you, uncle."

"Just spare me..." Nakano muttered, but still took a step forward, walking in front of Hui Yuanchu, leading him to the next room.

The two left the house and entered the next room from the corridor.Hui Yuanchu walked up to Huo Thallium Hero and said, "Huo Thallium——"

Then he realized that the fire thallium hero couldn't communicate at all like this.

Hui Yuan turned around and wanted to ask Nakano if he could untie Huo Thallium, but found that this timid and shameless middle-aged man had not followed him since he entered the door, and had been waiting at the place closest to the door. , looking like he could run away at any time.

However, Nakano also saw what Hui Yuanchu meant and made a gesture to indicate that he was free to do so.

So Hui Yuanchu stepped forward and untied the bound man's blindfold and took off the ball of his mouth.

The face of the hero Huo Thallium with sharp features was displayed again.

He first took a deep breath, sucked in the drool, and then opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

"Grey Yuan?"

"Well, it's me."

"You know, we bought three big bags of coffee beans last time, but before you came, I also bought five bags, which are all on the top shelf on the south side of the storage room. Especially the bag of Acabia beans is very old. I have to use it as soon as possible. There are three keys to the cafe, a spare one is under the flower bed at the door, and the other two are in my room. If one day Miss Maiko says she can’t find the key, You have to remember that one of the two copies has been kept for her from the beginning..." The fire thallium hero immediately explained a series of matters related to the work in the cafe.

"...Wait a minute, wait a minute." Hui Yuanchu was really surprised and hurriedly interrupted him, "Are these things important? Are they appropriate to give priority to in this situation?"

"It's very important." Huo Thallium Hero looked at him seriously and said, "After all, I definitely can't go back."

"So, Mundo will be in your care from now on.

"...Well, actually you have no obligation to take over this responsibility." He thought for a while and said, "Then please ask Haiyuan to help me remember it. If there is a suitable person, I can convey these things to him."

"Anyway, please Haibara tell Miss Maiko that I am resigning."

"Salary, just put it directly into the operating funds of the cafe. It's the last time I invite everyone to drink coffee."

The fire thallium hero finally finished speaking, and then looked at Hui Yuanchu expectantly, as if waiting for him to agree.

Hui Yuanchu scratched his head: "I mean, shouldn't you first ask me who I am and why I am here?"

"Those questions don't matter."

"Are you saying Mundo is more important?"

"Yes."

Hui Yuan thought for a while: "...Okay. So this is it: I agree to your request and help you take care of Mundo. But in exchange, you have to answer me some questions honestly."

"Okay, that's it."

Hui Yuanchu pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at Huo Thallium Hero and said, "So, let's start... First of all, I'm curious, Huo Thallium, what was your reason for killing those four people?"

The fire thallium hero nodded and said without any hesitation: "Because justice has pronounced them guilty."

"You mean, the justice that whispers in your ear?"

"Ah."

"He's a human being? ... I mean, he has a human form, right?"

"Yes. It's the 'Red Warrior of the Stars' in 'Celestial Sentai'. You must have seen that show too, right?"

Hui Yuan asked the key question: "So, this Stellar Red Warrior is real to you, but neither I nor anyone else can see it, right?"

"Yes." The fire thallium hero nodded simply.

Hui Yuanchu breathed out a breath.

The first step of guess verification is completed. "Okay -" he snapped his fingers with satisfaction, and then pointed his thumb at Nakano behind him: "-then, have you seen that man?"

"Huh?" The fire thallium hero followed Hui Yuanchu's instructions and looked at Nakano, "What's wrong with this man?"

"What crimes did Justice see that he had committed? How would Justice sentence him?" Hui Yuanchu asked.

The fire thallium hero narrowed his eyes and looked up at Nakano.

This sight made Nakano, who was sweating profusely and on full alert, immediately touch the door of the room with his hand. He almost opened the door and escaped... Although, the person who glanced at him was still firmly fixed. On the restraint frame, I couldn't even move a finger.

But after just one glance, the fire thallium hero lost interest and withdrew his gaze.

"This is the first time I've met this man. How could I know what he had done?" He said calmly, "...Since I don't know, then justice cannot be pronounced."

This answer made Hui Yuanchu suddenly stunned.

——Why did the first step of guess verification go so smoothly, but the second step went backwards!

He stared at Huo Thallium Hero's face several times to confirm that Huo Thallium was not joking.

The whole process of killing four people can prove that the fire thallium hero clearly knew the sins of the other party.The method of death with a strong ritual and 100% correspondence is proof.

Moreover, in the video played by Nakano just now, the fire thallium hero answered exactly like this: that was what "Justice" whispered to him.

No matter what the prosecutor's office thought... Anyway, from his perspective, Hui Yuan came up with a very reasonable guess at this moment - the fire thallium hero was a spiritual ascendant.

The so-called "justice", or the inner filling of the tokusatsu hero's image, is the messenger who leads him.

If you explain it this way, then it is not unacceptable to know the sins of a stranger you have never met before.

Because this comes to the realm of true spirit and power, which has nothing to do with logic and reality, but more like fate and dreams.

So just now, he asked the question and was full of expectations, mentally prepared that the fire thallium hero would answer something like "Justice knows everything."

In other words, if the fire thallium hero really answered like this, it would have verified his idea.

Can--

The fire thallium hero actually denied it? ? ?

"You really don't know, but does Zhengyi not know whether he has committed a crime?"

Hui Yuan was a little unwilling to give up at first and continued to ask.

But the hero of Fire Thallium stared at him in surprise: "...How could Justice know?"

Hui Yuanchu looked at the fire thallium hero in surprise, feeling like his head was short-circuited: "But you said, justice whispered to you..."

The fire thallium hero thought for a while and finally said clearly: "Ah... So that's it. You misunderstood my words."

"Justice doesn't know those people's crimes. Justice just makes an appropriate sentence based on that person's crime." The hero of Fire Thallium showed a matter-of-fact expression and explained, "Justice is like a judge, not an omniscient god... Do you think I can tell the crimes those people committed just by looking at them?"

"...Can't you?"

"How is that possible?" The fire thallium hero laughed.

Then, he seemed to sigh with regret: "...It would be great if there was such a convenient ability in the world."

Hui Yuan initially frowned.

The development of the situation was completely different from what he expected...

He was a little surprised, but mostly disappointed.

While Hui Yuan was silently thinking about his next response, Nakano finally had the courage to approach.

He asked again: "So, you really don't have the ability to know the other person's sins at a glance?"

"No." Hero Huotong replied with a relaxed expression, "I really don't have the ability you said."

Nakano nodded.

"...Okay, then it's my job from here on." He muttered, took out a notebook and ballpoint pen from his arms, and the look on his face completely put aside the fear just now, as if he was entering. Working status.

Nakano asked: "So, how did you know those people had done those things?"

"Of course someone told me."

Nakano's expression became cautious again.He took out the voice recorder in his pocket, pressed the record button, then returned to the note-taking state, and asked: "Who is that person?"

"A man named Jiro Noda."

Nakano's pen almost cut the paper, and his face was stiff.

"Do you know who the man named Noda Jiro is?"

"I know. I know he is a former member of Congress, and he was just imprisoned in this prison a few days ago." After a pause, Huo Thallium Hero confirmed, "He is still here, right?... At this time, now."

Nakano nodded instinctively, then frowned again and confirmed: "This is the man who gave you the information on those three... no, four people?"

"Correct."

Nakano took a deep breath, glanced at the recorder again to confirm the working status, and then slowed down and asked: "Congressman Jiro Noda gave you information and instructions, asking you to kill Yoshikawa, Kimura, Nakamura, and Nakajima, And prosecutor Futa, right?”

"Huh? No." The fire thallium hero denied it and showed an unhappy expression, "I killed them because of the justice."

He stared at Nakano and said firmly: "Those people deserve to die, don't they? This has nothing to do with who gave the information."

While listening to the conversation, Hui Yuanchu suddenly felt a sense of danger rising in his heart.

The group of cicadas suddenly began to whistle, suggesting a certain guess.

"Justice has also sentenced Noda Jiro to death... The reason why you entered this prison is to kill him, right?" Haiyuanchu blurted out.

Nakano was stunned and turned to look at Hui Yuanchu.

But Hui Yuanchu suddenly raised his head and looked through the ceiling into the void above.

Above the endless abyss, the long-lost spiritual vision pressed down.

This time, the spiritual vision was hot, surging, boiling, and rolling over.

just like--

Tides made of magma on the surface of a star.

"Jingle jingle jingle—"

The harsh alarm bell sounded suddenly.

The pungent burnt smell and other unpleasant odor signals were also transmitted into Hui Yuanchu's mind at the same time, awakening him who was concentrating on sensing his spiritual vision.

Hui Yuan initially realized that Nakano had rushed to the door and smashed the alarm with one punch.

But he no longer had the energy to look back and confirm the status of the center field.

The huge existence in front of him immediately involved Hui Yuanchu's entire mind.

The burning smell and the hot spiritual vision radiated over me.

An area of ​​anxiety suddenly descended around the restraint frame with the Fire Thallium Hero locked in front of him.

The metal beams of the restraint frame were hot, red, and shiny, and the restraints were already burning.

The fire-thallium hero wrapped in a straitjacket has transformed from a giant cicada into a huge torch.

But the fire thallium hero didn't say a word, and his expression didn't even change.Flames burned across his body and on top of his head, swaying in the wind as if his short hair were a living extension outward.

The hero of fire thallium waits patiently... seems to be waiting patiently for the straitjacket to burn out.

His pupils were a burning yellow that represented high temperature and was brighter than flames.
