Even if there were a few people who were unaware, they finally understood after asking people around them.
The one everyone is talking about is the world's number one detective known as L.
There are many legends about L, and there are many different opinions.
Some even say that L is not a real person, but an AI developed by combining the strengths of countries around the world in order to reduce the crime rate.
The only thing that everyone can agree on is that no matter how complicated and incomprehensible a case is, it will be easily solved in L's hands.
This is the value of the world's strongest detective.
"But..."
A member of the Metropolitan Police Department sitting at the last seat said with a hesitant look on his face.
"Have you forgotten the most critical question?"
Yagami Soichiro asked expressionlessly.
"What's the problem? Feel free to speak up. Don't be shy."
The member of the Metropolitan Police Department swallowed nervously, faced the gazes of everyone, and spoke slowly.
"Can that mysterious man wearing a black mask really be considered a criminal?"
This question was so powerful that everyone was silent.
Yes.
Can the unidentified person they call "Mask" be considered a criminal?
It is true that the other party killed people and blew up the building of Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten. There is no doubt about these two points.
Then the problem is coming.
What would have happened if the "mask" had not appeared at that time?
As time goes by, under pressure from the public and the media, the Metropolitan Police Department's troops will inevitably take frontal offensive measures.
The final outcome was that he was buried under the collapsed building and died gloriously.
No, it is not honorable not to be able to rescue a single hostage.
Members of the Metropolitan Police Department represent the law, but they are also human beings.
Since we are human beings, we will be influenced by emotions and cannot maintain absolute rationality.
In the end, it was Soichiro Yagami, the director of the Criminal Bureau, who took a deep breath and made the final conclusion.
"Whoever 'Mask' is, he has such incomprehensible abilities and is a security risk that must be dealt with."
"As defenders of the law, we at the Metropolitan Police Department cannot only pursue justice in the outcome and turn a blind eye to the injustice in the process."
“Only power under control and supervision can be the greatest guarantee for law and justice.”
"As for requesting that person's support... don't do that at this stage. Continue investigating and don't miss any clues."
"Of course, while investigating the identity of the 'mask', we must not forget that reducing the crime rate in Kyoto and protecting the personal safety of citizens are the primary tasks of our Metropolitan Police Department."
"That's it, let's break up the meeting."
........
the other side.
On the way to escorting her home, Futaba Rio suddenly stopped, and a rare look of panic appeared on her usually calm face.
"Ye, Yexing, I feel like someone is watching me again."
After hearing this, Ye Xing's eyes were fixed on the front of the two of them.
In Futaba Rio's eyes, there was an open space in front of her with nothing there.
And in Ye Xing's eyes, there stood in front of him a girl who could be described as beautiful.
Sakurajima Mai glanced at the somewhat nervous Futaba Rio, then turned her gaze to Ye Xing who was looking directly at her face, and spoke softly.
"You... can really see me."
062 The truth behind the senior sister Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio
"I say, can we change our opening line?"
Ye Xing couldn't help but complain.
Senior Mai, you have no idea how creepy my opening remarks are.
Fortunately, Yotsuya Miko was not there this time, otherwise she would have been scared to the point of PTSD again.
"Who are you talking to?"
There was a look of confusion in Futaba Rio's eyes.
Where is the person in front of me?
Could it be that...
Has Ye Xing's chuunibyou gotten so bad that he's having hallucinations?
"Can't you see?"
Hearing this question, Futaba Rio couldn't help but take two steps back, looked around, and said timidly.
"You...don't try to scare me on purpose. There's no one around here."
"You are quite amazing."
Ye Xing's praise can be said to be sincere.
My goodness, Futaba Rio is not a simple person either.
Even though I couldn't see Sakurajima Mai, I could feel her gaze.
what is this?
Spider sense?
No, there is one thing that needs to be confirmed.
Thinking of this, Ye Xing asked Futaba Rio.
"Sakurajima Mai, have you heard of her? She's the sophomore in our school, the former national idol, Sakurajima Mai?"
"Sakurajima...Mai?"
Futaba Rio muttered these words with a confused look in her eyes.
"Have not heard."
Ye Xing thought that was true.
To say that Mai Sakurajima's symptoms are simply "inability to see" does not quite fit the actual situation.
The correct description would be.
She disappeared from everyone's "cognition".
Not only is its own existence unable to be observed, but even the memories stored in people's minds have been erased.
Of course, this is not Ye Xing's analysis, but the analysis given by Futaba Rio in the original plot. He just copied the answer.
Then the problem is coming.
Now how to do?
"Goo~~~"
The slight rumbling of Sakurajima Mai's stomach broke the silent atmosphere.
As a senior who considers herself a mature adult, she showed extraordinary abilities at this time.
Faced with such an embarrassing thing, Mai Sakurajima just blushed slightly, then coughed twice and spoke in a calm tone.
"I'm hungry."
Ye Xing thought to himself, you can really hold on.
Code name, the one with the ability to stretch.
"Then let's eat first."
Ye Xing looked at Futaba Rio and said confidently.
"It's decided. I'll go to your house for dinner."
"Huh? To my house?"
Futaba Rio was stunned for a moment and said with a little hesitation.
"But... my family situation is rather special, my parents are not at home, and I am the only one at home..."
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be going. Let's go."
.......
Twenty minutes later.
"Your house is really big."
Hearing Ye Xing's sigh, Futaba Rio sighed slightly and said without comment.
"well enough."
Both of her parents are very powerful people.
There is no need to say much about the family conditions, and Futaba Rio has never worried about money.
But her problems could never be solved with money.
"You're welcome, sit down wherever you want."
Mai Sakurajima seemed a little embarrassed. She took off her shoes, stepped on the wooden floor with her feet in black stockings, and said something very politely.
"It's my first visit, sorry to bother you."
Ye Xing curled her lips and sat down on the sofa nonchalantly.
"Even if you talk to her, she can't hear you."
Mai Sakurajima was stunned when she heard this, and thought that this was true, so she spoke softly.
"Then please tell them for me, thank you."
"Hey, Futaba."
"Well, what happened?"
"Mai Sakurajima said that this is her first time at your house, sorry to bother you."
Futaba Rio held her forehead and sighed, then took out two boxes of instant noodles from the cupboard and said helplessly while she went to boil water.
"So... who is Mai Sakurajima? Please stop saying weird things."
Although Futaba Rio's voice was very steady and her expression seemed very calm.
But in reality, her heart was almost beating in her throat.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Why did it become like this?
This is the first time that people of the same age come to my house to play.
And, he's a boy!
calm down.
Calm down, you are Futaba Rio!
Just communicate with Ye Xing normally as you normally do.
The situation in this apartment now is very complicated.
It looks like there are two people, but in fact there are three.
There were two people at Futaba Rio's place.
