Chapter 224 Customizing an Illusion, Dear?
Just as Tadokoro Toshiya was about to find an excuse to get away with this, he saw the detective put the things back in their place and utter a sentence that made him feel a little scared.
"Your body is filled with hatred, anger, resentment, regret, and sorrow; you're like a powder keg of negative emotions about to explode. Can you tell me what happened to you?"
Toshiya Tadokoro, of course, didn't want to say that he had read a lot of news and records about famous detectives solving cases in order to find some inspiration for this murder plan.
He knew very well that most of these detectives, who had not yet truly experienced the wickedness of society, were idealists. He himself had been much the same, until he found out from that nurse who couldn't bear the pangs of conscience that once she knew about his murderous intent, she would do everything in her power to stop him.
He only wanted to kill Daisuke Torakura, the culprit, and didn't even consider targeting the doctor who had been bribed and was only providing his sister with the most basic, or even less effective, treatment.
He was unwilling to involve innocent detectives, and even...
He might let this opportunity for revenge slip by and lie low, but if the detective tells Daisuke Torakura about it, this last chance might be lost.
However, when he met Akutagawa Hiko's eyes, he suddenly froze.
Eyes that can see through everything and leave no room for the truth to hide. I originally thought it was just an exaggerated description by the media to attract attention, but when I actually saw it, I realized that it was not only not exaggerated, but it also completely failed to capture the essence.
He considered himself to be a person with a very rich vocabulary, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to write such popular works, but now, when he looked into those eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
Having secretly exerted some psychological influence, Akutagawa Hiko was quite pleased with Tadokoro Toshiya's unconsciously relaxed state: "Unlike Shinichi and the others, I'm not actually against private revenge, especially when the law can't punish the wicked."
However, since you have chosen the path of illegal revenge, you must be prepared to be punished by law. You may be given a lenient sentence, but you must not let it go unpunished, even if such behavior may be considered noble by most people.
Because this kind of nobility can become a weapon for evil people to use against ordinary people.
Tadokoro Toshiya's eyes widened as he suddenly realized that although the famous detective in front of him was young, he was already an adult and owned an agency.
Therefore, compared to high school detectives who are famous for their intelligence and talent and basically just happen to encounter murder cases, they should have encountered more of the darkness of society and may have also experienced helplessness.
Such a person might be trustworthy.
Tadokoro Toshiya knew that there was a possibility of getting information out of him, but ever since his sister died, he had almost broken ties with his parents who were unwilling to spend a single penny on her treatment, and he desperately needed someone to tell him what to do.
Before she died, her sister kept calling his name, as if blaming him for abandoning her, even her beloved brother.
If he had been more diligent, if he had noticed something amiss earlier in Hucang's attempt to prevent him from seeing his sister, would he still have had a chance to save her?
Despite the significant risks involved, Toshiya Tadokoro opened his mouth—
Akutagawa Hiko now understands the whole story more clearly, and he feels even more strongly that Torakura Daisuke is a genuine vampire, completely inhuman.
From a legal perspective, we can only condemn this person on a moral level; we can't even send him to jail.
As for exposing everything and ruining his reputation?
People are often not rational enough. Daisuke Torakura deserves his punishment, but his assets cannot be confiscated, which would also implicate innocent employees.
Do they also have family members to support? Do they have sons, daughters, younger siblings, parents, or grandparents who are seriously ill and urgently need their wages?
Will they become despondent because they lost their jobs or were burdened by family responsibilities?
It is understandable and even forgivable for a victim to do this, and those who are not involved may even applaud and cheer.
However, the underlying issues cannot be ignored either.
Therefore, if one really wants to vent their anger, it seems that the only way is to kill him, so that the impact can be focused on Daisuke Torakura alone.
"I understand the situation now, and I'd like to ask you a question."
Tadokoro Toshiya was actually prepared to be stopped. Although he shared the story, he still wanted revenge. At worst, he would strap on a bomb and become a top-ranked Graves player.
However, this unusual detective didn't seem to oppose his revenge; on the contrary...
Is it to offer support?
"May I ask you—"
The not-so-pedantic detective spoke up: "Do you want to take revenge yourself, or do you just want to watch him die a violent death? If it's the latter, I do have some ways to help."
Tadokoro Toshiya looked hesitant: "You mean, an assassin?"
Akutagawa Hiko neither confirmed nor denied: "More or less."
If the killer were to kill Daisuke Torakura, they could naturally remain uninvolved. As long as the killer himself wasn't caught, it would be virtually impossible to find the person who hired the murderer.
An assassin who can be recognized and contacted by Mr. Akutagawa must be no ordinary person.
But if I didn't kill Torakura Daisuke with my own hands to avenge him, would it really be considered revenge?
It was clear that Toshiya Tadokoro still preferred to take revenge himself. To dissuade him from this idea, Hiko Akutagawa showed off his skills and recommended a magic execution package to him.
"We have many types to choose from, such as 'Disgrace Illusion,' 'Impusion of Poverty,' 'Impusion of Extreme Torture Experience,' and so on. We can even customize if needed."
Tadokoro Toshiya stared blankly. If Torakura Daisuke could really experience these things, it seemed that not taking revenge personally would be acceptable, and might even feel more satisfying.
Akutagawa Hiko laughed, "You probably don't have much money right now, so why don't you come work for me? After all, you know my secret, and it wouldn't be safe for me to leave you out of my sight."
Of course not. It's just a matter of a curse seal. It might be difficult to control someone's thoughts, but controlling someone's life is as easy as it gets to him.
.
Conan and Heiji are currently actively helping Akutagawa Hiko complete his request and want to learn more about the inside story in order to prevent a possible murder.
However, at this moment, Hiko Akutagawa was desperately trying to sabotage them in the collection room, plotting with Toshiya Tadokoro to choose a way for Daisuke Torakura to die.
