I'm making soy sauce in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 960
"poor person must have something mean."

This proverb is very popular.

Originally meant:

The unsatisfactory reality of a seemingly poor person must be caused by previous mistakes, and it is his own fault.

To put it simply, it is because this person has done hateful things, has something hateful, and later became pitiful, but in fact this person is to blame.

But once it spreads widely, it is prone to deviation.

Some people who are unwilling to think and can hear the sound of waves by shaking their heads misinterpret the meaning of this sentence as:
"There must be something hateful about a poor person, and the current pity is all to blame."

They don't know that this common saying has certain applicability, but it is not universal.

It is not advisable to kill everyone with a stick.

for example:

A scantily clad beggar begged for money tearfully, saying that his wife and children had left him alone.

Is this beggar pitiful?

It looks pretty pathetic.

But if the beggar sees that others don't give it, he will yell at him.

When you get the money, you treat it as a bet, and you are ready to fight for it, have fun, and see if you can turn around and earn back what you lost before.

This is what a poor person must hate.

And a person's parents died since childhood, and he was bullied and stared at by others.

Poor, but there is nothing hateful about this man.

Back to the topic, the condition for the establishment of this sentence is that the pitiful part is based on the hateful part, and the reverse is not true.

It doesn't mean that Shi Kuan can't be hated.

It's just that his misery is not of his own making.

What is applicable to Akashi Hiroto should be the second half of the sentence "Poor people must have something to hate.":
——"Hateful people must have miserable suffering."

Of course, this sentence is also somewhat absolute.

Not every hateful person suffers from being miserable, some people are simply hateful.

But for Hiroto Akashi, he does apply this sentence.

It must be hateful for him to kill his adoptive father who had raised him for many years with his own hands, that's what Conan thinks.

But Conan had to admit that Akashi Yanfu had caused psychological harm to Akashi Hiroto, and it was very serious.

Hateful, but also pathetic.

He is sensible, filial, dedicated, kind to others, and willing to help others.
But he met Yan Fu Akashi who treated his adopted son as a toy.

Even if it was because of his own reasons that his daughter-in-law died unexpectedly, he did not feel guilty, and even said those chilling words.

What about "find a more durable toy next time, a durable, strong and obedient toy like my own son".
Still laughing there after speaking.

It just doesn't treat people like people.

What was wrong with Hiroto Akashi in his treatment of Yanfu Akashi?
He is conscientious, even more filial than some of his own children.

Where is it hateful?

Of course, it is really hateful that he killed Yanfu Akashi, Conan has always thought so.

But Hiroto Akashi is pitiful first, and then hateful, he is very clear about this.

Seeing clearly, feeling deeply about nature, Conan couldn't help sighing when he looked at Hiroto Akashi who was trying to pretend to be calm.

If he had experienced such a thing, although he would not make the same choice as Hiroto Akashi, he would inevitably feel sad.

The heavy atmosphere caused the people in the living room to fall into silence again, only the wall clock on the wall was still ringing non-stop.

No one uttered comfort, and no one needed comfort.

But keeping silent is not an option, Akashi Hiroto took the initiative to break the silence and said:
"Actually, to tell you the truth, I always believed in what my father said before I heard it."

"I believe that the reason why my father made some willful demands on me is that he regards me as his own son, without any scruples, and is the evidence that he is not an outsider."

In fact, he can not say these words.

But he thought, since he had already said so much, it would not be short of these two sentences.

And after saying this, he felt really much more relaxed.

He has held these words in his heart for three years.

He had no one to confide in, so he could only take out a photo of himself and his deceased wife when he was alone, and tell her everything.

Sometimes, as I talked, my eye sockets turned red, my nose felt a little sore, and my vision blurred.

But after telling the story, he had to put on a "mask" again, pretending to be ignorant of the truth.

Now that his father has been killed by him, Hiroshi Akashi doesn't have to wear that "mask".

In the past, he could only talk to the photos for a while, but now he happens to have an audience, and he can't stop talking.

As if to say all the words that have been accumulated in my heart for the past few years at once.

He took a sip of water from his cup and said:
"I built a house in this kind of deep mountain, and three people lived together in this kind of place. It was my father who said he wanted to live a life away from the world."

He looked up at the light cord in the living room.

To be precise, it was the fishing knot on the light rope.

Under the dazzling light, Hiroto Akashi seemed to see an illusory figure of a woman.

The figure seemed to be smiling at him.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand and scratched at the figure.

But he caught nothing.

This time, Akashi Hiroto came back to his senses.

Without too much pause, he looked at the light rope with a look of reminiscence on his face, and continued:
"Of course, extending the light cord was also my father's idea."

"He suddenly extended the light cord in his room a little bit, and then told me and my wife to do the same in the other rooms."

Everyone saw Hiroto Akashi's actions just now, so he didn't speak for a while, and Guangyou also guessed what he saw at that time.

"Is it 'seeing' my dead wife?"

"Oh, the couple are both good people, but good people may not be rewarded with good things"

"I actually met such an old bastard."

I have to sigh that Hiroto Akashi and his wife are very loving.

Hiroto Akashi is only 32 years old this year, and he was only 29 three years ago. His wife should be about the same age as him.

Both are young.

Akashi Hiroto once served as a tennis player's coach, proving that his tennis skills are really good.

Both young and capable.

In a big city like Tokyo and Osaka, Hiroto Akashi could have a good life with his wife.

But both of them were willing to give up this kind of life, and moved here according to what Akashi Yanfu said.

The sacrifice is great.

Youth, energy, money, social connections.
"It should be to repay the kindness of nurturing for these decades." Guangyou soon knew the reason, and it was not difficult to guess.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Akashi Hiroto's wife did not refuse Akashi Yanfu's unreasonable and willful request.

Even though she was sick and it was still raining outside, she endured the pain and went out to buy ingredients in a supermarket three kilometers away.

Just to let Yanfu Akashi eat mushroom fried rice.

Perhaps his wife also asked Hiroto Akashi, "Why do you keep adhering to his thoughts."

Maybe Hiroto Akashi would smile and say to his wife: "My father made these requests because he treats me like his own son."

Both the couple are repaying Shi Yanfu for his adoption.

But in Akashi Yanfu's eyes, the couple are just tools, and one of them is not durable and strong.

Not only do they have no feelings for them, but sometimes they even dislike them for being useless.

Thinking of that scene and remembering the truth, Guangyou opened his mouth slightly, and couldn't help uttering a few words softly: "Death is more than worthwhile."
