Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

Over, over the shoulder?

He couldn't help but glance at the floor and found that there were indeed cracks there, and the cracks were indeed centered on the injured man's head. Most likely, they were just smashed out, rather than old signs of damage.

…

Well, it's true that Hinata is really good at fighting, and Hagiwara Kenji and the previous robber have experienced it.

However, this seems to be a bit exaggerated.

Although the wound on the back of the injured man's head was not that big, the tragic condition of the floor and the slowly spreading blood made it difficult to associate it with a light fall over the shoulder.

After being speechless for a moment, Matsuda Jinpei remembered again that when Hagiwara Kenji described him before, he said, 'Obviously his body shape and strength are not big, but the position of strangulation with his legs is very precise, and it feels like he is walking on

In the grass, it was like being suddenly attacked by a python.

python.

He withdrew his gaze and pointed it at Hinata Reason again.

The other party had no intention of struggling, and was still looking at him with his face half raised. He just gently held his wrist with one hand to stabilize his posture... In this position, he could only half raise his face.

Just looking at this overly outstanding, yet somewhat immature face, and his equally immature hands without any trace of training, it was difficult for him to connect the minor in front of him with something as horrifying as a python.

Even with this time, the facts have been put before our eyes three times. Even ordinary snakes will understand something thoroughly if they drill into the realgar bucket three times.

"Hinata-chan," Matsuda Jinpei also realized something. He asked seriously, "'He attacked you from behind, you threw me over your shoulder.' Is it an instinctive reaction?"

If he forced the minor to look at him before, then after asking this question, the minor took the initiative to pursue his gaze and look at him seriously.

The other party replied sincerely: "It's an instinctive reaction."

After looking at each other for a few seconds, those green eyes were still very sincere, "It was because they restrained the instinctive reaction of continuing to attack."

After continuing to look at each other for a few seconds, the minor blinked and said, "He was walking behind me and suddenly strangled my neck. I could only throw him over my shoulder."

"However, after he fell, the things he was carrying fell out, including a gun and a remote control."

The other party stepped back, broke free from the restraints, then raised something like a remote control and asked calmly: "You said before that there was a bomb in the bookstore. Is this the remote control for the bomb?"

Matsuda Jinpei once again: "..."

He couldn't help but looked down at the wounded man who was clearly conscious but pretending to be dead with his eyes closed.

Is it really just an instinctive reaction...

The understatement I just made when I was underage seemed like I was playing a game, just as plain as "I killed a monster and dropped a helmet."

There were rapid footsteps coming from far and near downstairs. It was estimated that there were about a dozen people.

Matsuda Jinpei pulled the minor to stand up, moved out of the way, and said concisely, "The first responders are here."

Ten seconds later, the emergency personnel who rushed up climbed the stairs and panted to check the condition of the injured.

The police who arrived with them were divided into two groups, one group went to take charge of the murder case in the reading area, and the other group stayed behind to handle the case.

Some police officers questioned Matsuda Jinpei and Hinata separately.

Matsuda Jinpei arrived after the incident, only three minutes earlier than the emergency personnel, so he quickly finished his explanation and went to listen to the minor's on-site confession.

He found that he was not too special towards minors.

The person responsible for giving the minor's confession was a young police officer. The other party had obviously seen the minor on the live broadcast, and now his face was filled with sympathy and he fully accepted the minor's statement.

While recording the confession, the other party comforted the minor, "It's okay. The medical staff said that the suspect's life is not in danger for the time being. He attacked you first. You were reacting in self-defense."

Matsuda Jinpei was silent again.

After all, what this young police officer said is correct. In the past, Matsuda Jinpei would most likely have comforted minors like this.

Because the other party is the victim, was attacked, was acting in self-defense, and is still a minor.

However, after the minor said sincerely that it was really just an ordinary instinctive reaction, and after realizing that his reaction was wrong, he immediately changed the subject.

Matsuda Jinpei always has a subtle feeling.

It is difficult for people to examine themselves correctly, and minors may not even realize that they are lying.

Under normal circumstances, minors rarely take the initiative to look at others. Their eyes usually fall on other people's mouths. Active looking at each other is a special situation.

For example, when you lie.

In order to emphasize one's sincerity and observe the listener's expression, the other party will take the initiative to look at the person when lying.

Matsuda Jinpei also just discovered this habit of the other party.

He put his hands in his pockets and stared thoughtfully at the minor who was still dictating the case.

The minor's eyes dropped and fell on the young police officer's mouth. He said calmly: "I asked him if he needed help, but he didn't answer me. I thought he was dead."

There are no obvious signs of lying, so he should be telling the truth.

The young police officer quickly comforted him, "No, no, no. Although the back of the human head is very fragile, the force required to cause fatal injuries... uh."

Halfway through, the young police officer glanced at the broken ground and immediately got stuck, so he immediately turned his eyes for help to Matsuda Jinpei who was watching.

"Officer Matsuda!"

Matsuda Jinpei put the cigarette back into his pocket, carefully took it and comforted his colleagues, and continued, "The back of the human head is very fragile, and it doesn't require much force at all. Sometimes just hitting it with your hands can kill the person involved on the spot.

.”

The tone of voice was completely wrong. The young police officer was shocked and immediately cast a surprised look.

Matsuda Jinpei stared at the minor and warned meaningfully, "But when ordinary people are attacked, they can attack the prisoner no matter where they are. At that moment, the most important thing is to protect themselves."

In a dangerous situation, survival is human instinct. Under this instinct, even the other party himself cannot predict what kind of counterattack ordinary people will make. This is also a normal reaction.

But the premise is that you are really in a dangerous situation, and you are not fishing to lure someone into trouble, and you take the initiative to fall into a dangerous situation.

When he spoke, the minors stared at his mouth. Even if what he said was wrong or unpleasant, the other party did not show any strange expression and remained calm.

Until he turned around and said something meaningful, the other person raised his eyes and started to look at him.

That face is full of innocence, and so are those green eyes.

The young police officer did not understand that Matsuda Jinpei meant anything, and thought he was trying to comfort the minor. So he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to comfort the minor.

"For ordinary people without special occupations, it is simply unrealistic to ask them to protect themselves while also weighing their own counterattacks against attackers."

When he said this, the young police officer paused, turned his attention to the minor in front of him, and stated the facts, "In fact, many people can't even 'protect themselves', let alone control the opponent with ease.

It’s injured.”

"You are already great if you can protect yourself."

"'Protecting yourself' is a difficult thing." Matsuda Jinpei also said, he stared at the minor and warned with his eyes again.

The minor looked at him for a few seconds, then calmly looked away, sincerely admitting his mistake, "Next time, I will run away first."

...don't bring it upon yourself.

Matsuda Jinpei suppressed a sigh. When the young police officer looked over, he nodded calmly and gestured for the confession, "Is the preliminary recording finished? Can I take him away?"

"Take it away?" the young police officer repeated in surprise.

"There's a murder case over there..." Matsuda Jinpei said mid-sentence, glanced at the minor, and then changed his words, "You can also ask him to go back to the police station with you first."

He kept talking nonchalantly, "He's a little scared of strangers, but the case hasn't been processed yet, so I'm not free at the moment. Can you help bring him to my office?"

"Then just lock the door."

If he is locked up in the police station, the other party will not encounter wild criminals, right? There should be no wild criminals taking the bait, right?

"Lock the door?" The young police officer was shocked again.

Minors focused on another important point, "Are you afraid of strangers?"

The other person raised his gaze again, looked at each other, and said with his eyes, 'Everyone has the right to say that others are afraid of strangers, but dogs that rush towards people who are afraid of strangers with enthusiasm are not qualified!'.

A breathless voice intervened, "The murder case hasn't been solved yet. Let me see, let's finish it together and then go back to the police station, right?"

Matsuda Jinpei instantly looked at the person who suddenly interrupted, and found that he was an acquaintance: the chubby Megure Thirteen.

He was the person who searched the first class and was also the person in charge of the murder case in the reading area.

Thinking of the other party's identity, and then looking at the other party staring at Hinata with a straight face, with an expression that was afraid that the underage detective would suddenly disappear into thin air, he understood instantly.

Anyway, between the two options of 'tying a minor to his side' and 'tying a minor to an empty office', Matsuda Jinpei prefers the latter.

So, he naturally agreed to the proposal, "Then let's deal with this murder case first and then go back."

Megure Thirteen greeted warmly, "Long time no see, little Hinata!"

During the conversation, the minor realized that his belongings had been determined, so he changed his position, from the young police officer to Matsuda Jinpei, and then politely responded to the warm greeting.

"Long time no see, Officer Memu."

"Hey, do you still remember me?!" Instead, he immediately climbed up the pole and echoed the affectionate name. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, it's not just us who are deeply impressed by you.

You should also be impressed by the police officer who handled the case."

The reasonable communication between Megure Thirteen and Hinata, Matsuda Jinpei knew, was the case at school.
To be continued...
