* 12 at night - During the robbery of Crestat *
The last important inspector entered the meeting amphitheater arranged by Uno.
The room was semi-oval, with a high ceiling. In front of the stage was a 3-seater desk, and behind them was a huge TV ...
The rows for the participants were on the steps, and each had a microphone in case they wanted to talk. Even if there were no more than 19 people in the room, the air was heavy ...
-Now we can start.
People turned their attention to the three front seats.
-I am the one who will present the topic of discussion of the meeting. My name is Arthur Robinson, for those of you who don't know me and I'm a Deputy Inspector. As you probably anticipated, the hearing will be about the new self-proclaimed justice group "Ryuu".
A strange noise started in the hall ...
Even if they were policemen, some of them were fans of the "Ryuu" group ...
Sector 4 director: Carl Nelson got up with the microphone.
- Before we start the session on how to catch them, we have to decide if we really should do something against them. In my opinion and that of many civilians, this group is one that must not be stopped. Since then, not only have there been no major crimes, but even minor ones have become rarer. It is true that they are a little too violent, but they are also acting on behalf of civilians. In the last few months they have stopped countless robberies, but nothing has disappeared ... it is clear that they are not doing it for profit. So I ask to make them our allies!
Many voices of approval were heard.
Sector Director 1: Erik Walker is also rising.
- I support Carl. The group called Ryuu helped my district when the police couldn't do anything ... If many children hadn't appeared, they would have disappeared! Since then I became a fan of the group, and my heart was lighter, even now I secretly support them.
Other voices of approval rose from the crowd. the enemy.
- How good it is for foreigners to make the law for us !? Have you become a fan ?! You don't want the badge anymore ?! The veins on the inspector's forehead pulsed with nerves.
- Inspector. It's not because we want to resign, but I don't see what the Ryuu group is doing wrong! They are doing a better job ... We should give up our stupid pride and accept the truth that we have been overcome! We have a duty to protect civilians, and if someone does it better, what's wrong with working together?
-You .... !!!
-Good. Now we put an end to it.
A young man's voice echoes in the room full of voices ...
The young man who was sitting silently in a chair near the front desk stood up ...
The room lay in a grave-like silence ...
The boy picked up the microphone from the Chief Inspector .
- I'll introduce myself. My name is Akhico Jones, and you know me by the nickname 'Uno'.
The room was embarrassed. Even though it was rumored that Uno was young, no one imagined that he was so young. In fact, he was still wearing his high school uniform ....
- I agree with the idea that the Ryuu group has overtaken the police and also with the idea that they become our ally, but they do not seem the kind who would work with the police forces. And to be understandable, I am also a fan of them ....
The buzzer entered the room again ...
-He's right! From the few months since they appeared, the Ryu group shows hostility towards the police, even if not physically, on the 'List of sins' they always put the phrase 'The capable hands of the police' but always being emphasized in quotation marks. It is clear that they are making fun of us.
- They have every right, Carl gets up again, they write on that sheet things that the police don't even know about, but after the investigation they are always right! We can't compare ourselves to them!
-CARL !!! The Chief Inspector stands up again - If you come up with one more support sentence for that group that thinks they're Zoro, don't blame me if your badge is in the trash !!!
In the hall each participant expressed his opinion. Of the 19 people, 9 were holding Ryuu ...
Clark ... Clark ...
Akhico clapped his hands to get attention ...
- You didn't let me finish. Listen, gentlemen. We will now establish something that you do not seem to understand. Chief Inspector - It is true that we will look for them, but we do not have the right to comment on the justice they do, because before we even finish a sentence, the people saved by that group will shout for justice. It is clear that now the world does not like good or bad ... I support them because of the result ... Even I applaud them for that! So you chief inspector could bring the same result as Ryuu?
The Inspector's face turns white ...
- I don't ...
Carl: - It's like I said!
A sound of approval was heard in the hall ...
-Good gentlemen. Now we will discuss in the meeting how we will catch this group.
Akhico said.
Silence penetrated ....
-But ... you ... just ...
-Yes. I said I admired them, but I didn't say we could leave them like that. I love Zoro and Robin Hood, but we're not into cartoons. If that group changes after the audience will change? How do you know I'm not a gang of criminals? After all, who knows best the deeds of a criminal if not another robber? Or maybe something internal will arise, and the leader who seems to love justice is replaced by a lunatic, what will we do to stop them? Listen! We will capture the group to know their identity and to confirm if they can be our allies or enemies! You can't do anything unless you're 100% sure you're not wrong!
The silence was oppressive ...
-Good. Now that we have established that the police will try to arrest the Ryuu group to confirm whether it is an ally or an enemy, does anyone have anything to say against it?
The room was silent ...
- Very good!
Akhico rubbed his hands and turned to Detective Roy Carter and the officer who had all the police information about the Ryuu group. With a captivating smile, Akhico opened his mouth ...
-I wish Detective No. 1 from the police to present everything he knows about this group.
The detective after blushing with shame due to the title of 'detective no.1 ....
-As far as you know me, I'm Detective Roy Carter, and we've solved many cases together. The Ryuu case came to me two months ago, but ... I didn't make any progress.
The room was silent ... Everyone knew it ...
Not only Detective Roy Carter had no clue.
They all got stuck.
Roy continues ...
- The group called Ryuu started 3 months ago. The first case they solved and made known was the abuse of Mayor Snyl Willson.
The hall was silent again ...
Everyone remembered the problems of a video posted on the internet with all the mayor's deeds, which were terrible. And worst of all, the police didn't know anything ....
Or rather they couldn't have done anything and if they had known ... it was the mayor ... their superior ...
Everyone's hearts were crying ... If Ryuu didn't he would have punished so severely he would have felt guilty ....
The mayor was tied to a helicopter with a thick rope ...
That night he was so terrified that he went crazy ...
Even now he is not recovered, and the trial on his excessive abusive acts cannot be taken to court. However, no one cries for him ...
The officers' faces darkened ...
- What evidence did you get from this case?
The only one who didn't seem affected by feelings was Akhico ... '
- Seth Lewis is the one handling the evidence in this case. Seth brings the case file first!
Roy was excited ... he also wanted to see this Uno blocked by the little evidence.
After Akhico looked at the file for 5 minutes, he looked up and ...
-Continue.
Roy after a brief glimmer of satisfaction, continues ...
- The cases that followed were many ... I will list the most important ones .... The last one with 2 and a half months- The kidnapper of the children from district 4; The last 2 months - The serial killer who targeted women; a month ago - The robbery of the Cat Twins; Last 6 days - The terrorist attack on the Miso bank of district 1. Besides these there are 37 smaller cases, but each has something in common:
-1-The action is done in the evening; 2- A card called 'List of sins' is left at the place of action, on which is written everything the defendant did; 3- The next morning an anonymous video will appear which will be deleted automatically after 24 hours, in which the defendant is severely punished; 4- we have no evidence from any of the cases ...
At last everyone was embarrassed ...
This was a reason why they were afraid in their heart of Ryuu.
Who doesn't leave a trace? That would shake anyone ...
For 10 minutes, Akhico looked through all the files that contained only the 'List of Sins' and a picture of the defendants after they were sentenced ...
The young high school student stood up with a microphone and said. ..
- The Ryuu group is led, in my opinion, by a very intelligent person.
