Chapter 908: The Significance of Investigating the Truth
"So, this time the puzzle is about changing the theme and making it educational?" Before the atmosphere gradually turned to gossip, Baima cleared his throat and spoke calmly. Pretending not to hear anything, he spoke with a smile. , "How do I remember that the request given at the beginning was 'twisting and bizarre'?"
Obviously, he responded sarcastically to Hattori Heiji, or followed the other person's words and continued to listen to him and his childhood sweetheart. I was not interested in the jealous story, so I decisively chose the third option.
——Start the next link directly, forcing the program team to cut out Hattori Heiji’s nonsense when they go back to edit.
Kangsawa, who felt that he had been hit by an arrow inexplicably, nodded in cooperation and caught his words: "That's the truth. The stories given by Miss Koshimizu and Hattori-kun were very interesting, but the final point was When it comes to educational detectives, it’s a bit eclipsed.”
He really didn't want to continue discussing with Hattori Heiji.
Although Tang Ze feels that because everyone present does not know his true identity, no one will associate it with him, but if Tang Ze can't resist it, he will not be able to restrain the association?
The fictional perpetrator is called the victim. In fact, the drunkard’s intention is not to be the real person behind the drink... If I have to say it, Karasawa himself is very good at fishing, and he is very good at fishing detectives. The guy is coming.
"Then let me change my mind a little bit." Detective Bai Ma shrugged and said easily, "I actually quite understand what you are thinking. As detectives, we must have experienced a lot that are suitable to be adapted into emotions. Mysterious cases, but if you adapt some of them into a joke and tell them to others for the sake of gimmicks, it may not be respectful to the deceased."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. Oh, the TV staff who silently pretended that they didn’t exist.
Being on a variety show meant entertainment, which he had expected, but he still felt that some things shouldn't be so entertaining.
After saying this innuendo, Detective White Horse got to the point: "So, I'd better pick a case that, um, doesn't have much to do with murder. Maybe it's a bit bland. A pair. The couple who loved their children went to the orphanage to visit the children in the orphanage almost every week. One day, they received a message from The letter from the orphanage contained a letter of thanks from the children who had received their support. The next day, two people died in a traffic accident. "
A sudden turn of events that had nothing to do with the previous one. The ending fits the format of Turtle Soup very well. At first glance, the title seems to be a slightly bland story as Tan Tan said.
"Well, let me confirm first, it was a traffic accident, so were their deaths an accident?" Although he was dissatisfied that this guy suddenly interrupted the rhythm of his story, Hattori Heiji still touched his chin and stood up. Headed up.
"No." Bai Ma Tan gave a very definite answer, "There is no need to doubt this, because I found their last message. They are obviously well aware of the fact that they are about to die."
"A message was left. They died the next day after reading the letter from the orphanage. Are their deaths related to the orphanage?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki thought about it and followed the clues in the question.
"No." Bai Ma Tan's answer was still brief and powerful.
The expressions of several people were different, but considering that this was a case investigated by Detective White Horse himself, no one questioned the ability of this experienced high school detective to investigate the case.
He is not Shi Jinrunzai. If he neglected his duties, his reputation would have collapsed long ago.
Tangze tilted his head, glanced at Hakuba Tan's expression, and asked a question that was completely opposite to the previous one: "You specifically said that they are a couple who like children very much. A couple who like children very much Couples have to go to the orphanage every week to see their children. Don’t they have children themselves? ”
Bai Ma Tan's eyes turned around and met his gaze, his expression became a little more serious: "It's really a key question. Yes, they have their own children."
They have their own children, but they have to decide He went to the orphanage and died after receiving a letter from the orphanage...
Looking at it this way, the plot suddenly took many twists and turns.
"This is a bit interesting." Conan muttered and raised his voice, "Could it be that for some reason, they were unable to raise their children, so their children were sent to the orphanage, and they I found out in the letter that something happened to my child, and I couldn’t accept this fact, so I chose to die, right?”
“Impossible. "Before Hakuba Tan opened his mouth to answer, Hattori Heiji waved his hand, "If they really value their children, but have to be separated from them for some reason, how could they not pay attention to their children's situation? Well, they like their children very much, so they must be the kind of parents who regard their children as more important than themselves, and they are even less likely to commit suicide.”
"Yes, Hattori is right." Hakuba nodded and gave him a rare compliment, "You still have some insights when it comes to relationships. You are right. Parents who truly love their children will know that they will be their children. Even if it is for the sake of the children, you must persist."
Tokijin Runzai waited for a few seconds and found that the field was quiet. He turned his head and saw Hakuba Tan staring at him. Then I realized it was time to speak for myself.
Well, after being silent for so long, he almost forgot that he was also one of the participants. It's all the fault of that troublesome primary school student.
“Well, let me think about it.” Tokijin Junya scratched his hair and said dryly, “I have heard a saying that parents whose children are lost or abducted and separated will be more inclined to Yu helps the orphans he meets because he hopes in his heart that his children are still alive somewhere in the world. , I hope someone can be so kind to their children. Is this the case when they pay attention to the orphanage? "
"Yes. This is indeed a very common situation, and that is why I am here. I noticed the thank you letter from the orphanage immediately." Bai Ma Tan answered in the affirmative.
Hearing Tokizu Junya's voice, Koshimi Nanatsuki cast an indifferent glance behind his sunglasses.
This is a very formulaic conjecture, but it is very reasonable. It shows that Shi Jinjunzai is a person with a normal IQ.
Of course, the problem with him is not his IQ, but his morality and character.
"Well, in the final analysis, their deaths still have something to do with their children." Hattori Heiji thought, "Could it be that the letters contained some inappropriate information, which caused them to be subjected to To stimulate this aspect, Are you having an emotional breakdown? "
"No, they are very calm people. According to the information I found, their children are almost adults and have been separated from them for a long time. They can persist for so long. , Their resilience must be very strong.” Koshizui Nanatsuki, who was still paying attention to Tokatsu Junya, began to seriously despise him, and then continued the next round of questions: "It seems that their deaths are inseparable from the 'children' no matter what." Since their deaths have nothing to do with the orphanage, I guess, The situation may be a little more complicated than intuitively thought. Could it be that their child was kidnapped, or that they could not see their child for special reasons, and some of the contents in those letters led them to commit suicide? "< br>
This guess was slightly more than reasoning, adding a lot of subjective emotions and guesses, but Detective White Horse unexpectedly nodded.
"Sure enough, this kind of issue must be understood and judged from a female perspective." Bai Ma Tan smiled, "Yes, this is almost the truth of the case. At least, it is the case I investigated. The truth."
"That's really mind-blowing. Unexpected." Tang Ze glanced at him and said abruptly, "I thought British families rarely have such restrained style. Or maybe I haven't been to the UK too much, so I misunderstood the British. "Judgment?"
Baima Tan looked deeply at Tang Ze and shook his head slightly.
"Okay, I admit, I kind of took advantage of your intuition. Yes, this is not a case that happened in the UK. This was a case that I encountered when I was living in Northern Europe while completing my studies. It happened to be me. Before coming to Japan."
Karasawa's words gave him a good introduction. His description rhythm was the same as the first two people, and he successfully entered the story-telling mode for narration.
“It was not my turn to intervene in this case. After all, I am not a local. I just went there to stay for a few days to complete my thesis. But the identity of the dead couple was unknown, and the police did not find them. From the entry and exit records, it can be determined that they have lived in the country for more than three months. From the few individuals left behind Pinshang concluded that it was a couple from Japan. This is why the police found me to investigate the case. I was the only Japanese they could find at the time, and they always needed someone to translate for them for free. "
Baima Tan spread his hands, said a slightly British-style humorous sentence, and then began to tell the key points of the story.
“After I got their things, I started investigating along these clues. Since interpersonal relationships are almost non-existent, it is very difficult for the police to determine whether they committed suicide or homicide. I can find where they are. The most common record in the country is that they go to a church regularly, not because of their faith, but because that church has a special charity hall that supports orphans and serves as a welfare institution. So I followed this possibility. , and kept investigating..."
When Bai Ma Tan said this, he paused for a moment, and his eyes obviously turned towards the direction of the camera.
Seemingly worried that in front of the camera, his next message was obviously vague. He did not tell everything he had investigated, but simply described: "What happened next is the truth of this mystery. They are engaged in special industries and their status is sensitive, so it is not convenient for them to go out freely. Therefore, they have been separated from their children for many years and can only comfort them by helping children in welfare homes. They received a letter from the orphanage that day, but found that there was a photo of a new child sent in the letter. The child looked almost exactly like theirs. They immediately understood that this was a threatening letter. . In order to protect their children, they chose to die even though they knew the attack would happen..."
Baima Tan sighed softly and slowed down his speech.
“I investigated the truth for the local police, but when I looked at this report, I felt deeply guilty. I seemed to have discovered a lot of things, but it seemed that I could not investigate anything clearly. . I don’t know their true identities, let alone where their children are and whether they are well now. Therefore, whether their sacrifices are meaningful, I don’t know. There was no way to judge even because of that message. In the end, the case was decided as a traffic accident suspected of suicide. The driver did not bear full responsibility and only assumed secondary liability. The insurance company paid the full compensation. But in the end, because of The identity of the deceased is unknown, and the compensation is nothing."
As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head
This state is not considered depressed, but compared with his usual confident and assertive behavior, his current appearance can be regarded as depressed.
"Since we all have educational significance, then I will sublimate it a little bit." After reorganizing his emotions, Detective Bai Ma raised his head and made a summary of what he just said, "In this case, The content of my investigation may be the truth. However, in the end, this truth not only failed to help the victim, but may also have become an accomplice of the perpetrator. What is the meaning of a detective? Searching for the truth or pursuing justice? When the two are in conflict, how should the detective deal with it? I think this is probably a problem that will accompany me throughout my life. "
In his description, because of the deceased. Conan, who was deeply emotional and slightly sentimental, suddenly sat up straight after hearing his last emotion: "No way. I don't think so."
The truth must lead to justice. If the two temporarily go against each other, it is neither the fault of justice nor the fault of the truth. There must be something other than that that has caused greater harm and regret. It's the detective's job to pursue the truth.
"Indeed, your investigation did not get the expected results, which means that the investigation is not over yet." Koshimizu Nanatsuki sat up straight and said solemnly, "The fog still exists, your investigation is just Let’s stop for now, this is not the whole truth.”
"If I were you, I would probably do everything possible to find the identity of the victims, find their children, and find the real murderer. Your journey has just begun, Hakuba." Hattori Heiji said while still looking from the sunshade He leaned out from under the umbrella and patted Baima Tan on the shoulder to express his relief.
Tangze looked at the detectives who suddenly became enthusiastic, and then looked at the expressions of the white horse detective, and couldn't help laughing, temporarily destroying the comic-like atmosphere of this young man.
"How do you know he didn't do this?" Facing the gazes of several people, Tangze picked up his cup and gave the simplest reasoning, "As I said before, the police believe that The deceased are a Japanese couple. Detective Hakuba is the son of the police chief. He has no chance of knowing their identities until he returns to Japan, right? He is indeed on his own journey."
"You know me quite well, Akechi-kun?" Hakuba Tan shrugged, and Hattori Heiji's hand on his shoulder shook without leaving a trace, "Yes, this is the reason why I made a special trip back to Japan. . I guess this trip won’t be easy. I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to take care of my studies, so I’ll just transfer back to school.”
“That’s what a policeman’s son would think.”< br>
"You look like a detective now. I was almost compared to a primary school student..."
"Hey...don't you..."
The atmosphere became warm and warm again, Tang Ze He brought the glass to his mouth, covering the corners of his mouth that were almost straight.
There was so much overlapping information that it exceeded the level of coincidence, and Tang Ze could not afford not to think too much.
So, is this the real reason why Hakuba Tankai transferred to Japan?
Detective White Horse, the detective who investigated the accidental death of his parents and came to an unexpected conclusion helplessly under the blockade of the organization?
