"Sure." Jia Chen sat comfortably on the folding chair he had just taken down, picked up a skewer of fatty beef, and devoured it in one go, showing none of the behavior typical of a young nobleman.
"Let me tell you a story about justice," Jia Chen said slowly, recalling anime he had watched in his previous life.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious. This... could very well be the story of Jia Chen, or his companions.
"The protagonist of the story is named Emiya Kiritsugu, and he has unwavering beliefs..."
"His childhood dream was to be a champion of justice, a noble yet childlike dream."
Jia Chen explained that the world of the backup group 822{㈥985Ⅰ$6 possesses magic and the Holy Grail...
The protagonist lives happily on the island with his father and childhood sweetheart.
The Junior Detectives' eyes lit up when they heard this, as if they were really looking forward to it.
"During his childhood, his father's experiment failed, turning his childhood sweetheart into a ghoul. As a result, a disaster struck the island. For his dream... and also to prevent another disaster from happening on the island."
"To end this tragedy, he only had two choices: sacrifice his childhood sweetheart to save everyone, or spare her and sacrifice the entire village to save one person."
"He hesitated for a long time between reason and emotion... In fact, he had already made a choice while he was hesitating."
"Finally... the cult arrived, and there was not a single survivor on the entire island except for him."
In the end, he couldn't save anyone.
When everyone heard this excerpt, the lights seemed to flicker, and a heavy story slowly began to unfold from Jia Chen's lips.
Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys listened intently, their expressions filled with sadness and regret.
Conan, on the other hand, kept his head down, looking at the ground, making it impossible to read his expression.
Ai Haibara watched Gatatsu quietly, her icy blue pupils flashing from time to time.
"After that...Emiya Kiritsugu made his choice, without any hesitation...he personally killed his beloved father."
Jia Chen's voice rang out again, continuing to tell his story... A scene of a righteous young man slowly growing up appeared before everyone's eyes.
Later, Kiritsugu Emiya was adopted by his mentor Natalia, who became both a teacher and a mother figure to him. The story then recounts how they carried out a mission together to track down people researching the zombie virus, but... due to his adoptive mother's mistake, the zombie virus spread throughout the entire plane.
Upon learning the news, Kiritsugu Emiya naturally knew what the consequences would be if the plane landed safely.
He felt as if he had returned to that choice he made in his childhood. But this time, his ideal of justice led him to make a choice: to sacrifice a few to save the majority, even if his beloved family was among them.
On the ground, Kiritsugu Emiya used a missile to destroy the plane in mid-air, along with his beloved master.
Seeing the destroyed plane, Kiritsugu Emiya broke down emotionally.
After that, everything seemed to return to normal. He married into a wealthy family and had a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter.
The story ends here.
The suppressed emotions of everyone were finally relieved, and they all breathed a deep sigh of relief.
They believe that... after overcoming numerous difficulties, Kiritsugu Emiya finally lived a peaceful and happy life. Although the process was arduous, the ending was still beautiful.
However, the story is not over yet. The Fourth Holy Grail War begins, and this man will stop at nothing to end it all, to win, for the omnipotent wish-granting machine, and to obtain absolute justice.
Afterwards, the man went through many trials, and he was able to make cold judgments when faced with the principle of sacrificing the minority to save the majority... until one day, he sensed something was wrong... and in the "illusion," he killed his daughter and wife with his own hands.
For that ethereal, unattainable world...
In the end, Fuyuki City was burned to the ground by the Holy Grail... After rescuing Shirou Emiya, the man wept bitterly, perhaps having gained some profound understanding.
After imparting his ideals to Shirou Emiya and realizing that Shirou wouldn't make the same choice as him, and becoming like him, the wounds in his heart seemed to heal... He slowly closed his eyes, ending his life's pursuit of justice.

And so, the story ends.
However, everyone fell into a deep silence, a profound stillness.
"It's just a story." Jia Chen turned on the stove and put the skewers on it, turning them over.
Conan glanced at Jia Chen with a complicated expression.
Kiritsugu Emiya was indeed righteous, and ideally speaking, he was not wrong.
This perfectly aligns with Conan's philosophy: he would be more than willing to sacrifice for the benefit of the majority.
This perfectly echoes Sherlock Holmes's famous quote: "If it is certain that you will be destroyed, I will gladly accept death for the public good."
But... the process was too heavy, so heavy that it was... suffocating.
If that day ever comes... and he has to make a choice, what will he do?
Or perhaps Kira was right?
Conan's eyes once again showed confusion...
At that moment, Ai Haibara unconsciously leaned against Gatsuki's arm, the movement very subtle...
She was also feeling bad inside; perhaps people like that really do exist.

"What about Shirou Emiya?" Ayumi Yoshida's smile faded, replaced by a sad expression. "Did he live happily ever after?"
Upon hearing this, the others also looked up at Jia Chen. After learning that Kiritsugu Emiya had adopted Shirou Emiya, they wondered if Shirou Emiya would also become like Kiritsugu Emiya... with that kind of absolute and tragic justice.
After grilling the skewers, Jia Chen took a bite...
Observational skills can clearly sense that they are feeling sad and confused.
In his previous life, when he first encountered someone like Kiritsugu Emiya, he was also deeply shocked.
"Shirou Emiya is an honest and simple man..." Jia Chen began to speak.
The others also pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
Then, Gachen recounted the tragic life of a self-conscious Burmese girl, until she met Emiya Shirou and seemed to find the light in her life.
But her tragedy didn't end there. The Holy Grail chose her as its vessel, and after being forced to resign, she gradually fell into depravity and lost her mind. Whenever she slept, she would take to the streets and slaughter people.
No one can stop her; only Kiritsugu Emiya can kill her.
After saying this, Jia Chen stopped.
"What happened next? Tell us quickly!" the Junior Detective Club asked impatiently.
Professor Agasa's gaze also revealed longing.
"That's all for now." Jia Chen ate a few bites of the kebab and threw the trash into the garbage bag.
Of course... he didn't know what happened next.
I couldn't continue reading; apart from Kiritsugu Emiya, the stories of the other characters were quite boring.
The Junior Detectives lowered their heads in disappointment.
Ai Haibara, meanwhile, stared intently at Gatatsu.
If you change the appearance of the world and the characters... wouldn't that be the current Jia Chen?
Kira the Righteous...represents Gachen's justice.
Emiya Kiritsugu... should be Gatatsu's teacher.
That girl with a tragic life...represented herself.
Because of the existence of the Black Organization, she is like a bloodthirsty shark, bringing misfortune to those around her.
Thinking of this, Ai Haibara couldn't help but stretch out her arms and hug Gatsu's arm tightly.
The Junior Detective Club then chatted for a while, mostly about Kiritsugu Emiya.
Professor Agasa also enthusiastically joined the conversation.
After chatting until we were tired, we went back to our tents to sleep.
Conan glanced at Jia Chen from time to time without saying a word.
"Conan, is something on your mind?" Jia Chen looked at the sky. "It's getting a bit chilly now, shouldn't you go to bed earlier?"
"I..." Conan hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say...
"Wait... I almost forgot." Jia Chen took off his coat.
Conan remained silent for a while, a warm feeling flowing through his heart.
What's wrong? Jia Chen must have known that I was feeling sad. She knows how to care for others, comfort me, and even offered me her coat because she was worried I was cold.
Then... under Conan's watchful eye, Jia Chen gently draped his coat over Miss Haibara beside him.
Because the trench coat was quite large, Ai looked rather...cute in it, like a cape.
Conan: "...
He was so embarrassed he wanted to scratch his feet.
Ai Haibara noticed Conan's expression, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.
Jia Chen can only be hers.
Sensing the emotions of the two... Jia Chen was somewhat speechless.
"Conan, if you're cold, you can go back to your tent," Jia Chen comforted him.
"Emm..." Conan reached out and scratched his cheek. "No need, I'm not cold at all. There's just one problem..."
