“Everyone has a different sense of justice.”
Sakaki Makoto picked up an apple from the table and said as he peeled it:
"The justice that the minister talked about is too general. There are many people in this world who always exercise their rights under the banner of justice. That is not justice."
"The goddess of justice is blindfolded and unmoved by external things. The scales in her hands weigh sins and punishments, but she cannot see and can only listen to humans tell about the sins of others, so..."
"There will always be people who commit evil acts and never have to pay the price."
The intact apple skin peeled off, revealing the white and crispy flesh. Sakaki Makoto suddenly smiled:
"My idea of justice..."
"It is to punish those who are guilty but have not received the corresponding punishment."
"So, do you understand, Minister?"
"Mr. Sakaki is a Christian?"
Hattori Heizo keenly heard the meaning behind Sakaki Makoto's words...
Belief?
He wasn't quite sure.
"Christian?"
Sakaki Makoto frowned:
"I am not."
Hattori Heizo nodded.
Whether Makoto Sakaki was a Christian or not had no effect on him.
if only...
It is enough that we all hold the same belief.
"In that case, Mr. Sakaki will also fight for justice?"
The apples are peeled.
Hattori Heizo reached out his hand, thinking that Sakaki Makoto was peeling the fruit for him - what normal person would eat the fruit of a sick person?
result...
Sakaki Makoto glanced at him, opened his mouth, and took a bite.
"Um...."
His eyes lit up:
“It’s quite sweet!”
Hattori Heizo: “….”
He withdrew his hand in the air with some embarrassment.
Sakaki Makoto calmed down, smiled, and cut the apple in half with a knife. He kept the half for himself and handed the other half over:
“This is the justice I uphold.”
Holding the apple, Hattori Heizo remained silent.
A whole apple represents all justice.
Sakaki Makoto cut the apple into two halves, kept one half and gave the other half to someone else...
This means...
For him, the person who gets the other half of the apple is the justice he upholds.
After thinking for a while, Hattori Heizo didn't eat it. He put the apple on the table and asked:
"What would you do if it was stolen?"
Hearing this, Sakaki Makoto chewed faster and finished the other half of the apple in a few bites, then...
He grinned at Hattori Heizo, clapped his hands, and walked out of the ward.
"Really..."
He slightly opened his narrowed eyes and muttered to himself:
"I see."
The door of the ward was opened again.
Toyama Ginjiro walked in:
"Heizo, what did you talk to him about?"
"Something about the future."
Hattori Heizo looked out the window, where there were birds perched on the balcony, chirping non-stop.
"What was the result?"
Coming to the bedside, Toyama Ginjiro glanced at the half apple on the bedside and asked.
"White Horse has good vision, but..."
Hattori Heizo shook his head:
"He will not join the Metropolitan Police Department."
Toyama Ginjiro was a little surprised for a moment.
It is rare to find a young man who can be praised by Hattori Heizo.
But he won't join the Metropolitan Police Department...
It is worth discussing.
"Could it be that he is determined to follow Kurosawa Jin?"
"Kurosawa formation?"
Hattori Heizo sighed:
"It has nothing to do with Kurosawa Jin. The one he longs for and is loyal to..."
"It's someone else."
“This person is the belief that supports him, and is the burning firewood in the snowy mountains.”
"The lonely traveler has no choice but to rely on firewood to keep himself from freezing to death. He will do everything in his power to keep the fire burning."
"If the flame goes out one day..."
Hattori Heizo turned his head, and a gleam of light flashed in his dark pupils:
“Hope is gone.”
“People without hope will collapse.”
He was shocked. Toyama Ginjiro rarely heard Hattori Heizo talk so much.
The other party has always been the silent type.
I suddenly said so much today, it must be related to that young man.
"Heiji seems to be very close to him."
After a brief pause, Toyama Ginjiro said:
"Do you want to stop it?"
"Need not."
Retracting his gaze, Hattori Heizo picked up half an apple on the table:
"At least not now."
..........................
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto!"
Outside the ward, Conan, Kidd, and Hattori came over and said with some concern:
"My father didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"The Minister is a very kind person."
Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"He even offered me an apple."
"My father, very kind?"
Hattori Heiji, who was doubting his life, was stunned:
"Mr. Sakaki, you are not going crazy from staying up late, are you?"
"My dad is a well-known ghost-seeker!"
Um....
Sakaki pursed his lips.
If you had said this last night, I would have jumped up from the ground.
There is no need to send him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
"Inspector Nakamori, we should go back to Tokyo."
Sakaki looked at the time and said:
"If we leave now, we can catch the Shinkansen at noon."
"Huh?"
