Chapter 2448 Xia Yiwu Violates the Ban (This Cat Is Not Allowed to Touch when It Turns Its Belly)
Next, Ai Li and Xijian Qinyin followed behind the members of the Phantom Thieves, watching them stage a scene of a realistic version of Mission Impossible—they first distracted the shadow guards in the security room, then turned off the light source, and then Started the crane and stole the "secret treasure" under heavy protection.
However, when the group of Phantom Thieves thought they had succeeded and planned to leave the art museum, they found that the so-called secret treasure was just a fake, and then Madarame Ryusai from another spiritual world rushed over with heavy guards to surround the Phantom Thieves. , Then he revealed everything to everyone with a smile.
"Miss Allie, are we really not going to help?"
Hiding in the shadow gap above the art gallery, Xijian Qinyin asked in a low voice, while Ellie shook her head.
"Hush, keep your voice down, it's not time for us to appear on stage."
"But……………"
"Be careful to be discovered."
While speaking, Ellie and Xi Jian Qinyin were tightly stuck together——right now the two girls are hiding in the gap of the sign above the art gallery, the narrow gap makes them unable to move at all, they can only face each other paste together.
Thinking of this, Ellie tried again to make her expression more dignified and serious.
She looked at Ellie and wanted to say something, but seeing that the other party was staring down seriously at the moment, she could only shut her mouth obediently—after all, Ellie didn't think there was any problem, if she was too serious If so, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
So Xi saw the sound of the piano and had no choice but to turn her head and look down without saying a word.
And below, the confrontation between the group of Phantom Thieves and another Madarame Ryusai has also reached a feverish stage. Not only that, they also learned a secret --- Kitagawa Yusuke, a disciple of Madarame Ryusai and now a companion of the Phantom Thieves His mother was killed by Madarame!
Of course, Madarame Ryusai did not personally kill people. At that time, Kitagawa Yusuke's mother was seriously ill and time was running out, so she drew a picture called "Sayuri", a woman holding a baby in her arms and wanted to give it to her. to his own son. However, Madarame Ryusai at that time took a fancy to this painting, thinking that this painting could make him flourish, so after that, Kitagawa Yusuke's mother suddenly fell ill, but Madarame Ryusai did not send her to the hospital. He just watched her die like that, and then snatched the painting called "Sayuri".
After that, Madarame Ryusai modified this painting of Kitagawa Yusuke's mother, hiding the baby in the arms of the woman in the original painting with fog, and then exhibited it as his own work.
Although Madarame Yisai's character is poor, he has to admit that he does have considerable artistic talent. The original meaning of this painting is that the mother looks at the baby in her arms full of nostalgia. This is of course a masterpiece, but it is also That's all.
But after the "transformation" by Madarame Yusai, all people see is the woman with a melancholy expression looking down. They don't know what the woman is looking at, which makes this painting full of mystery. As a result, this painting has successfully risen from a "masterpiece" to a masterpiece similar to "Mona Lisa's Smile", and Madarame Ryusai has also become famous for this, completely establishing his status as a master in the painting world.
After learning the truth, the Phantom Thieves and their party were naturally filled with righteous indignation, and fought another Madarame Ryusai who turned into a shadow boss. But the shadowed Madarame Ryusai is quite difficult to deal with, and the Phantom Thieves and his party are also caught in a hard fight.
Seeing the bitter battle of the Phantom Thieves below, Xijian Qinyin couldn't hold back and wanted to help.
"Miss Allie... Aren't we going to help?"
"Watch."
Ellie didn't say much. Soon, the Phantom Thieves found a way to defeat the shadowed Madarame Yusai, defeated him, and then the huge shadow monster disappeared, and Madarame Yusai reappeared from the dark shadow that remained of the monster.
At the same time, the magnificent art gallery world in front of me also began to collapse. The group of Phantom Thieves hurriedly left the art gallery with their paintings, and Ellie returned to the real world with Shiomi Qinyin and the group of Phantom Thieves. .
"Miss Airie, can this really make Madarame Ryusai repent?"
"Just wait and see."
Just as Airi said, on the second day, Madarame Ryusai held a press conference, at which he cried bitterly and admitted his guilt, including refusing to save Kitagawa Yusuke's mother and plagiarizing other people's paintings He voluntarily confessed his bad deeds, which naturally caused quite a shock and sensation.
But for Ellie and the others...
"That's all."
Watching the press conference on TV, Ellie shrugged her shoulders, while Yutong next to her looked at Ellie curiously.
"Then big sister, what will happen to that old grandpa?"
"It's not that good. His behavior can be regarded as surrender, which can reduce the guilt. As for the death of the mother... Even if Madarame Ryusai admitted that he was helpless at the time, he didn't really kill anyone, so he won't be punished as homicide. In terms of plagiarism, if his disciples come out to identify and prove it, then they will be convicted and sentenced. Given his age and the fact that he surrendered himself, I believe the punishment will not be heavy. At most, he will be punished. Deprive all the titles, positions and capital of the art world, fine some money, and sit in prison for a few years."
"He himself has admitted it. Isn't that all right?"
Hearing Ellie's answer, Xijian Qinyin was obviously surprised.
"Of course, the prisoner's own testimony has a certain degree of credibility, but it cannot be completely based on the prisoner's testimony, because the possibility of being tortured and the prisoner taking the blame for the prisoner must be considered, so witnesses, testimonies, and evidence are indispensable. Yes. Even if Madarame Yusai admits all the crimes, if there is no evidence to prove his testimony, then the police will have no way to sentence him."
"how so……………"
Facing Ellie's answer, Xijian Qinyin was obviously a little disappointed.
"The existence of the law is not to maintain absolute justice, but to maintain the justice that most people can accept."
Ellie glanced at Xijian Qinyin.
"Even if the Phantom Thieves did nothing wrong, so what? Even if they did make people who are full of crimes change their past, so what? Can you guarantee that they will never make mistakes? Chivalry breaks the law, even if it is a well-known chivalrous man, he dare not Said that I have never killed a good person by mistake in my life. Even if the Phantom Thieves promise that they will only attack those criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes, will the public admit it?"
Saying this, Ellie spread her hands.
"Why does the public recognize the law? Because the provisions of the law are dead. A certain person, what crime, how to punish, why he prosecuted, and whether there is proof, will all be recorded. Of course, the law is not perfect, and there are even fewer unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. But at least the law has a clear, clear, visible and tangible rules and procedures."
"But the Phantom Thieves are different. How do they choose their targets? How do they confirm that the other party needs to be judged? Why don't they call the police but use this method? How do they prove that they are not manipulating other people's minds, twisting other people's will, Use a method similar to hypnosis to get others to confess their crimes? Do you think the public will agree to this invisible and intangible rule that only a small number of people can control the 'power of life and death' to judge everyone?"
"this………"
Hearing Ellie's question, the girls looked at each other in blank dismay. At first they really felt that the Phantom Thieves were doing the right thing, but they didn't know how to answer Ellie's question.
"Even if it is an unjust, false or wrongly decided case, at least one charge must be charged on your head, and relative testimony is required. But what about them? Just like those righteous thieves or grand thieves, kill a few people, and then leave behind Zhang's "Tianzhu" note left, why did the other party die? How to prove that he died without guilt? And how to prevent others from taking advantage of this troubled water? Even if a person is tried for guilt, at least the police must be sent to arrest him first, and then carry out a trial. Investigate and inquire. But the Phantom Thieves are invisible and intangible, and then one day they suddenly gave a notice letter, and then someone next to you suddenly cried bitterly and said that he had committed a terrible crime... You can accept this Is there a process?"
The little girls may still be entangled in whether the actions of the Phantom Thieves are just or not, but Airi doesn't care about this point. There are many such victims in the world of Conan. Madarame Ryusai's behavior is indeed bad, but in the world of Conan, crematoriums have been filled with people as bad as him, and all kinds of revenge killings have never stopped. Is it possible to not arrest those murderers because they are all out for revenge?
How is it possible.
Another reason why Ellie doesn't like the Phantom Thieves is just like what she said, even if the original intention of the Phantom Thieves is good, she doesn't like the ending very much.
As Ellie said, if the other party repents and corrects his mistakes, he will surrender, and he will be given a lighter sentence. Moreover, in Ellie's view, the meaning of the law is not only to maintain justice, but also to punish evil.
Yes, punishment.
Just like Haze Natsune's father, he made his adopted daughter and several innocent girls into artificial angels and let them kill each other to complete his plan, and Ellie's punishment for him was to kill him with a single shot. In this way, he will never be able to see whether the plan he has put everything on has succeeded or failed. In Ellie's view, dying in such desperate cruelty is the punishment for his crime.
The same is true for Madarame Ryusai, if he falls into Ellie's hands, Ellie promises to let him live but not die, and then watch everything he owns leave him, and finally die in exasperation from a heart attack ——This is the punishment that fits his crime.
Instead of crying bitterly and repenting as he is doing now, sitting in prison is not a punishment at all for him, it can even be regarded as enjoyment——after all, he is so old, and it is impossible to go to prison like a young prisoner. Carrying out labor education is like changing a place to retire and die, and it is the kind of peace of mind.
Saying that this is punishment for evil, Ellie absolutely disagrees.
"So what are you going to do, Miss Ellie?"
"There are still two days until the next rainy night."
Ellie turned on her phone and checked the weather forecast again.
"First, let's play a game of cops and thieves."
