[Psycho-pass] Hue out of control

"I can't think of anything else to express my condolences to you—" Zheng Lu Zhiji took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, and threw it to Shinya Kou who was leaning on the bedside of the ward, "There is no cigarette, so the hue will continue Get worse."

Qiao Nian Shen also raised his hand to catch the cigarette, put it under his nose and sniffed, "It's a good cigarette, but it's a pity that I don't smoke this brand——"

He said so, but he still took Zhenglu Zhiji's lighter, and the rolling wheel rubbed against it to ignite a trembling flame.

Zheng Lu Zhiji sat on the edge of the hospital bed with his back turned to him, "If the appearance continues like this, I won't be able to hide it."

"Yes, I can't hide it." Qiao Nie Shen also inhaled the smoke, his eyes were fixed on the bright chandelier on the roof, calm.

"Actually, what you are most worried about now, uncle, is that guy Yi Ye."

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Tokyo under the night is brightly lit, peaceful and prosperous, just like the perfect utopia envisioned by Fourier.

Zhenglu Zhiji raised his head to look at the neon color outside, and stretched out his hand to draw it at the height of his chest, "I remember when Shenyuan was only this tall, he asked me what the Doron on the street was."

"At that time, I was in a little trouble, and I was taking him to the temporary shelter in the abandoned area. At that time, the color had deteriorated. I wanted to avoid Doron but didn't want to cast a shadow on the child's heart, so I told him to Show him a big secret, and he will forget about Doron in a blink of an eye."

"I showed him the pistol I hid just in case, and the kid stared straight at me for a long time and asked me why I was different from the talking gun. I told him there was no difference Yes, although the old-style pistol can't speak, the policeman holding it has a voice in his heart, and that voice exists naturally, and it will tell the policeman how to use it to protect what he wants to protect."

Zhenglu Zhiji stretched out his hand to cover the executive bracelet on his left wrist, stopped and did not speak again.

"That guy... didn't forget it." Qiao Yaoshen also stubbed out the cigarette butt, and sat up straight with one hand, "said

One day Sibila will deal with me, and Zhi En asked Zhien to delete my hue record in the old Tachibana area that day. "

"We are not the same kind of people, but deep down, he still has the natural blood of a criminal police officer. Just like he believes in Sibyl, Sibyl also regards him as an excellent candidate for Chief Cabinet Secretary."

"Maybe it's what you said...but as a father, I hope he will always be a criminal policeman." After a while, Zhenglu Zhiji said slowly, "Although his temperament is more suitable for being promoted away from the scene It is not easy for him to be caught between the upper echelon and the executive officer every day. Although it is said that he is not human on the surface, but watching him grow up, my incompetent father still knows his essence. Who is it?"

"Whether it is the era of Sibilla's guidance or the era of bureaucratic management, the more you go up, the more you have to do. Some people can cruelly let go of their perception and stand in the position of decision-maker, but that guy Shenyuan, he In fact, it’s very simple, there is nothing to support him except faith—he can’t play the role of killing people.”

Zhenglu Zhiji stood up from the bed, sighed and said to Qiao Yaoshen: "I'm really sorry, I came to see your situation, but I let you listen to the old man who should have been thrown into the waste pile for so long. gossip."

"Uncle, you came to see me with injuries, and I feel a little bit guilty." Qiao Yaoshen also pointed to Lu Zhiji's unnatural shoulder, "I can't go to work recently, so I have to work hard for you."

Zheng Lu Zhiji shook his hand and walked out the door, "Haha, remember to clean up the cigarette ash, otherwise the nurse won't allow me to see you again."

Walking out of the nursing ward and turning to the hall along the corridor, Tomoki Masahiro saw Ginoza unexpectedly, he was sitting on the soft seat next to the vending machine.

"Ah, the surveillance officer also came to see the cunning?"

"You've seen it." Ginoza paused before speaking, fiddling with a can of coffee in his hand,

"Well, he's doing fine."

Looking through the lens, he looked at the elderly executive officer on the opposite side of the aisle, examining the other party's heart without any concealment.There was no dialogue to cover up the embarrassment of the silence. It lasted for a few seconds. The surveillance officer stood up neatly, retracted the detection in his eyes, and returned to indifference.

"There are still doubts at the scene, and we will set off on time at eight o'clock."

—— "Assembly at eight o'clock?" Arai Shaxi stood at the door rubbing her freshly dried hair,

"Yinoza said that there are still suspicious points at the scene that need to be investigated, so... well, that's it." Liuhezhong knocked on the door from the next door, with sleepiness remaining on his face.

Shahi Arai turned around and walked back to the living room to let the door go, Liuhezuka followed and sat on the sofa.

"What's the doubt?" Shahi Arai took out the unpacked clothes from the suitcase and hung them in the closet, then took off a pencil skirt from the hanger, untied the bath towel and asked while wearing it on one foot.

"A suspicious man appeared in the surveillance video of the back street of Aya Well Department Store. It was missed because of the angle and light. There were very few pedestrians there, so I had to go back and look for any clues."

"Really—" Shahi Arai smacked her lips, picked out an open shirt and put it on, stretched her hands behind her neck to loosen her hair, and glanced at the mirror, "Let's go, I hope you don't wear this shirt today. The clothes are ruined."

------

"The surveillance video shows that the suspicious vehicle and the man appeared at four o'clock in the morning today. Because the curtain wall behind the mall is under maintenance, vehicles are prohibited from passing through the back streets these days." Liuhezhong looked at the computer screen and explained to everyone,

Behind the bustling city full of crowds, the backstreets of the shopping mall are particularly deserted and quiet.Turning on the lights, Ginoza squatted down to check the wheel tracks on the ground, "Has Doron's analysis come out?"

"Let me take a look," Liuhezhong in front of the computer opened a new window, and quickly glanced at it, "90.00% nine-in-one match—that part of the car print was left by the car in the surveillance. The result of the footprint recognition has just Come out, leave the equipment in the escort car outside, Arai went to pick it up just now and is on his way back.”

Ginoza stood up, the night sky was dimmed by the overly bright lights, the chassis of the central air conditioner was humming, and water droplets from unknown sources in the corner fell on the metal pipes, making a tick-tock sound.

I always feel that something is not right.

The water droplets kept dripping at a uniform speed, da, da, da——

At the same time, there was the sound of high-heeled shoes at the intersection at the corner, and the brisk and steady pace of walking suggested the proud and conceited character of the owner.

Da da---

The water droplets that should have dripped in the next second did not hear the expected sound. Ginoza noticed this slight deviation, and the obsessive-compulsive disorder in his heart began to cause trouble, so he unconsciously raised his neck to loosen the tie. The back wall of the shopping mall was in his vision A faint light flashed in the darkness on the scaffolding built——

"Be careful——" the surveillance officer was keenly aware of the dangerous atmosphere, and pulled the person next to him to hide aside. As soon as the words fell, he could only hear the heavy object falling from a high altitude to the ground with a loud bang, and the impact stirred up billowing dust on the ground. Then there was the rustling sound of earth and rocks peeling off and falling to the ground.

There was a brief silence.

"Ah?"

Teng Xiuxing put down the arm covering his head, and found that the place where everyone was standing just now was still intact, and the scaffolding did not fall to this side, but hit the corner intersection.

"Xinjing!" Liuhezhong, who was the first to react, ran towards the corner where the scaffolding fell, and a dark red mark faintly spread out on the ground under the disordered steel bars.Ginoza unconsciously clenched the hand on the side of his leg. Watching everyone rushing to remove the iron frame, the surveillance officer turned around and walked back to the mall quickly, while turning on the terminal to call the headquarters.

"Zhi En, block all entrances to the mall, and send Doron to seal off the road near the back street. Everyone is waiting for inspection."

"It's done. But it's only 10 minutes, otherwise the mall will trouble us."

"What happened again?"

Ginoza took out the Dominator and ran upstairs from the staff passage at the back of the mall, "The scaffolding on the curtain wall of the mall suddenly fell, I suspect it was caused by human beings, please send me the information of the construction floor, hurry up!"

"Understood, Xiujun just called an ambulance, and I'm going to ask the second department for reinforcements to investigate the scene."

"Then please." The supervisor gritted his teeth and hung up the call in a low voice.

The ascending and turning stairs seem to be an endless loop. The shadows cast by the railings flashed before his eyes while he was running. Inexplicable emotions weighed on his heart, and he couldn't help shortness of breath and blood.

Distorted and plasticized corpses, the glimmer of light in the darkness beside the scaffolding, Arai Shaki whose life and death are uncertain under the messy steel pipes...

The nightmarish scene accompanied by the shadows flashing by the railing appeared in front of his eyes one after another, Ginoza only felt that the reality had become a huge net, shrouding his head hideously, dragging him into the abyss of Hyakki Yakura.

It wasn't until the cold wind slapped his cheeks with wetness that the surveillance officer became a little more awake, and compared the drawings Tang Zhidu sent him to find the platform where the scaffolding fell. Before the exit, the tools used by the workers for maintenance were scattered on the empty cement platform Everywhere, Night Breeze passed through the building, whimpering like a monster.

There was no suspicious figure, no sound of fleeing, as if nothing had happened.Further forward is the edge of the platform where the scaffolding fell, and the broken hinges swayed in the wind in mid-air, which reminded people of the dying woman who was hanged from a tree in the strange talk.

Ginoza walked over, stepped on the uneven ground under his feet and creaked, leaned over and grabbed the hinge, it was almost [-]% new, smooth without any trace of rust, and the fracture was very neat, revealing an obvious deliberation.

At this time, a small voice came from behind——
