Chapter 9 The crime of burning

On December 13th, at noon, Tianyi’s bookstore.

A man wearing a leather jacket and unshaven beard pushed the door open and came in.

He walked straight to the boss's desk and spoke, "You have been arrested."

Tianyi didn't read a book on this day, but just sat there drinking coffee leisurely, as if he was already waiting for this moment.

"Is Officer Whale Bird? It's been a long time since."

The whale bird replied, "Hmph, do you know I'll come?"

"Of course I know." Tianyi held his cheek with one hand, calm and composed.

"Since you know I will come, but you didn't run away in advance, it means you either have the awareness of confessing your sins or are completely crazy."

"I'm not crazy, it's this world."

"It's up to you." The whale bird took out a pair of handcuffs and threw it on the table: "Do you put it on yourself or do you want me to do it?"

"Do you have an arrest warrant?" Tianyi was completely unmoved.

"Hahahaha..." Whalebird couldn't help laughing: "A person like you actually talked about legal procedures with me?"

Tianyi didn't laugh: "It turns out that you also know that your behavior is illegal."

The whale bird instantly put away his smile, took out the gun from the holster and pointed it at Tianyi's eyebrows: "This is my law!"

Tianyi sat on the chair and applauded calmly: "No, this is not the law, but justice." He finally smiled: "The law is just a tool, written on paper, serving the powerful, and can be used, modified, and abolished at any time; but justice has a far more meaning than that."

The whale bird's hand holding the gun is still firm: "Then please put your handcuffs on before justice can be beaten to the head and accept legal sanctions."

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Tianyi stood up.

The whale bird took a step back alertly, and its muzzle followed Tianyi's movements and pointed at its head without deviation.

Tianyi walked slowly to the bookshelf next to him: "But I have to say that justice is the thing that makes me hate and disgusted the most, it is just a human illusion." He stretched out his hand and pointed at the whale bird: "You adhere to the concepts of right and wrong, good and evil derived from a broad set of moral ethics, and use the two words "justice" to hypnotize it into faith, so that you believe that every thing you make and every choice is correct.

To put it bluntly, this is just a kind of advanced hypocrisy."

He took four black books from the bookshelf and put them on the table, then walked to a corner of the room, squatted down to open a cabinet.

"For lions, preying on antelope is justice, otherwise it and its children will starve to death; for antelope, escaping from the preying on a lion is justice, otherwise it will be eaten. In this case, is justice contradictory? No, what they follow is consistent, and animals only follow the instinct of survival. This is the law of nature, maintaining and operating the rules of this world in the dark. It cannot be written on paper, and cannot be tampered with or violated. It is a great insult to call it the so-called "justice".

Tianyi took out an iron bucket from the cabinet. He held the book in one hand and the bucket in the other, and walked towards the door of the store. "If you don't mind, please help me open the door."

The whale bird had already put down its gun at this time, and he could see that Tianyi had no intention of escaping.

"What are you going to do?" Although he asked, Whalebird pushed the door open for Tian, ​​and then followed him out of the bookstore.

The sky was gloomy outside, and the north wind was cold. Tianyi, who was wearing only a shirt and suit, was obviously trembling.

He put the iron bucket on the ground, took out a kerosene lighter, and lit a book in his hand.

Continuing with the words just now, Tianyi said: "So, humans are the same. From the perspective of any ordinary human being, only he is the only protagonist in his life. No matter how eye-catching the others are, they are just supporting roles.

Justice has become a very subjective thing. Children who grow up in troubled times, children who grow up in prosperous times, children who grow up in slums, descendants of princes and nobles... come into contact with different levels and are instilled with different values, and in the end everyone will have their own justice.

Whale, you think what you are doing is right, but it is just because it is in line with the justice in your heart.”

The whale bird snorted coldly: "So... what you mean is that your behavior of killing innocent people is right?"

Tianyi threw the book, which had been burnt halfway into the iron bucket at his feet, "I didn't kill them. Since the day I came to Hokkaido on December 5, I have never left the bookstore. At most, I went to the door to burn books and sign for some takeaway. How could you say that I was killing innocent people indiscriminately?"

"But all the cases are controlled by you!"

"Is that right? So, can you prove it? Even if those people are back from the dead, they will tell you that I have never 'instructed' them to do something like killing. I just let them do little things that are insignificant. In exchange, they can listen to me and say some interesting news, or read the books in my hand."

The whale bird's eyes unconsciously looked at the almost burnt book in the bucket, and a faint purple color appeared in the smoke.

"What kind of books are these?"

Tianyi looked up at the sky: "These books record people's sins." He took a deep breath and glanced at the ashes in the bucket: "The greedy and slutty person hangs the corpse among the crowd."

The whale bird was stunned when she heard this, and Matsuo's death flashed through his eyes.

Tianyi threw the second book into the bucket again, and this time the smoke came out with a little orange color.

"The violent and fierce people, they are divided into swords."

The whale bird stared at the bull's eyes and stepped forward to grab Tianyi's neckline: "In addition to Matsuo and Miura, who are you still in your hands? Who else did you kill?! Did you kill Ikeda too?"

Tianyi smiled and threw the third book into the bucket. The red smoke rose: "The lazy and lustful person is broken." He stared at the whale bird's eyes: "The owner of this book is indeed called Ikeda, but it is not Ikeda Hok, but Ikeda Meng."

The whale bird gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard..."

Tianyi raised his last book: "This is the 'cowardly and jealous' Ikeda Jun. Don't worry, he is not dead yet." But two seconds later, Tianyi threw the book into the burning bucket: "It's a pity that he was crazy, 'Life is worse than death'. So, his book is useless, and the contents behind it are all crazy words that I can't understand. Oh, by the way, he saw some things when he came home last night, and was so crazy that he was irritated. He hasn't gone to school yet. I don't know how it is now..."

The whale bird let go of Tianyi and ran wildly towards the Ikeda family, cursing: "Damn..."

Tian Yi tidied his collar and smiled wildly at the back of the whale bird: "You understand now! What is justice! Hahahaha!"
