Chapter 384 Praise
This silence is inevitable.

The reason is simple: other people don’t know what the future is, but how could Shuichi Akai not know?
He knew it very well, extremely well, so well that even when he closed his eyes at three in the morning, he could still see a high-definition VCR playing in a loop in front of his eyes, and he could open his eyes calmly because of it.

It's not surprising that he knows what kind of person Ichijo Mirai is. Given Ichijo Mirai's personality, it's rather strange that people who have interacted with him don't know what kind of person he is. So how did he make Conan think that he is a purely good person and an innocent victim of revenge?

This is a problem.

After a while, Akai Shuichi finally managed to speak: "No."

He ignored various complaints, such as "Mr. Mirai is a victim", "Gin is more petty than Mirai Ichijo", "Gin is more cold-blooded and ruthless than Mirai Ichijo", and said: "It's not revenge against him, but..."

"Revenge against 'Satan'."

'Satan'?
Tokyo people will never forget this name, at least not in the last few decades. Conan reacted almost immediately and realized the key point in an instant: revenge on 'Satan'?
Who is so brave?

Oh no, who is so righteous?
Wait a minute, the other party's revenge is not very just, start again: Who is so insidious and cunning and willing to die? !
But why did the revengeful Satan attack the Mika Department Store? Did the department store belong to Satan? The speculation that the fire was a protest against the police is more reliable than this.

And why is it that when it comes to 'Satan', it is dealt with through the future?

Throughout the entire fire, it seemed as if the person being retaliated against had never appeared for a moment, and had no sense of existence at all.

Conan was full of doubts.

"No," Akai Shuichi said, "'The person being retaliated against has no sense of existence' is correct. Even if that day was very important to that person and was a crossroads of everything, it has no sense of existence to the public. But 'the person being retaliated against has never appeared for a moment' is wrong."

"He showed up."

This is something he has not been able to find out, no matter how much information he has looked through or how much information he has searched, or whether he has asked his predecessors to investigate or has gone to investigate on his own.

Because almost no one noticed.

Except for one person: Zhufu Jingguang.

Recalling what Zhu Fushi Jingguang said, Akai Shuichi lowered his eyes, "Soon after the fire broke out, during the most anxious moment of rescue, someone saw a man in black entering the fire scene."

"After hearing the news of the fire, Yitiao Wei went there immediately. He had already evacuated, but he returned. What a shame..."

After a pause, he continued, "Also, the rescue personnel on the scene seem to be wrong."

"An unidentified person sneaked in and assisted in the rescue."

what?
Conan was stunned, mostly because of what Akai Shuichi said, and a small part because of Akai Shuichi's somewhat subtle and complicated tone. He began to hesitate cautiously: What, what do you mean?
What does it mean that Satan was at the fire scene? How could such a bloodthirsty guy not leave any traces at the scene of the crime?

What does "that day was very important to a person, a completely different fork in the road" mean? Why does it sound...

What does "return" mean? Satan left but returned because of a future? It sounds even weirder...

Moreover, what about the fact that there were unidentified persons assisting in the rescue?

Could it be that 'Satan' still has some conscience and actually lets his subordinates enthusiastically save people?
This was like a horror story, and Conan got goosebumps on the spot.

He hesitated again and again, and asked very cautiously and carefully: "What is the relationship between 'Satan' and Mr. Future?"

It sounds like they are related!!!
It's not a direct relationship of 'hostility'!

But, but who is Satan? That kind of cold-blooded, ruthless, bloodthirsty guy. Thinking about the future in his mind, Conan found it hard to imagine that Satan and Mr. Future actually had a positive relationship.

"At first, I thought they were enemies," said Shuichi Akai. "Later, I thought they were close but distant."

If they are not close, why would Ichijou want to avenge Satan? Even if they are hostile to each other, they may avenge others, which means they must care about each other.

Alienation, a future that will only be guessed belatedly after Satan's death, rather than confirmed immediately.

But this guess was also wrong. "They were each other's reason for living, and they were also each other's murderers," he said calmly, "They were brothers connected by blood, and they were the closest people to each other."

*
One of the closest beings in the future wants to call the police.

I really want to report it.

With every step he took, Gin asked himself: Can I really live like this?
Can't you?
The guy who had suddenly had an idea and thought, "Hey, why don't we recruit Ichijo Mirai into the organization?" is already dead. He died quietly and peacefully, like a cannon fodder NPC who was easily scared to death by ghosts in horror movies. No one spoke for him, even Vermouth remained silent.

Some people die because they really deserve to die.

Some people suffer while alive.

Gin is actually not picky. He can even work during the day and at night, or even work twenty-four hours a day. He just makes do with his job. But every time he comes to see Ichijo Mirai, he wants to say hello to the former leader, and his footsteps seem to have become heavier, like a dark cloud that has absorbed enough water.

He came here by a detour.

Even though everyone at the fire scene was tense and focused on saving people, the smoke reduced vision, so they could barely see human figures three meters away, and couldn't tell people from animals five meters away. They didn't realize that someone had already sneaked in and was helping to rescue the trapped people.

...In fact, the members of the organization who sneaked in did not expect that there would be a day when they would be full of justice and enthusiasm to save people.

In addition to their lack of attention and unclear vision, the organization members who sneaked in were not discovered because they were not wearing the organization's standard black attire, but were wearing regular clothes.

But gin is different.

He was wearing black clothes, including a long black trench coat, which was too strange at the fire scene. As long as he appeared in people's field of vision, he would leave an impression on them. Fortunately, there was more than one stairwell in the Mihua Department Store, and people coming and going were in a hurry and their footsteps were obvious. As long as he paid a little attention, he could avoid others and sneak away.

The inevitable detour and sneaking can also delay the time of encountering the bad guys.

...Of course, this is just a by-product and cannot be expressed in words.

Along the way, Gin slowly calmed down and made a solemn decision in line with his identity as a 20th century mafia: for the sake of love and justice, and for world peace, he would persuade non-leaders not to kill.

If you want to kill, go to Britain!

If they kill again in Tokyo, 'Satan's Organization' will really be nailed to the pillar of history, and maybe it will become the first lesson in some field of knowledge like many incredible cases.

...It's better not to do this kind of thing, right?

After walking for a while again and stepping out of the stairwell to observe, Gin saw a future.

Yitiao Weilai was near the stairwell, half squatting on the ground. The ground beside him was a mess, and he was giving oxygen to a trapped person who had fallen to the ground.

The trapped person looked extremely miserable, with most of his face black, his neck raised high like a goose, and his face close to the hands of a future person, urgently and rapidly absorbing oxygen.

The hand holding the respirator was equally messy, wrapped in layer upon layer of cloth strips that could not be distinguished from ash, burn marks and blood.

But the owner of the hand was very calm. He lowered his eyes and quietly watched the trapped person who was trying to snatch his life back from the clutches of death bit by bit. There was no pity for the weak person in need of help, nor was there any impatient displeasure in his expression. There was nothing but the calmness of his initial expression.

Not like a good guy, but not like a bad guy either.

Not like a human being.

Gin stopped.

He thought calmly: No wonder the damn former leader had to force this guy into the organization to experience the joy of robbing and dying overnight.

When he's not being a human, this guy looks quite inhuman and inhuman.

Complimentary.
