Crazy Detective: I Have The System To Change The World.

Upon hearing what Kai just said,

Steve stood up.

His fists clenched at his sides as he paced the room, his frustration barely contained. His voice cut through the air, sharp and accusatory.

"Do you have any idea what kind of fire you've lit, Kai? The Human Rights Association is up in arms over what just happened. They're enraged by the blatant disregard for justice, for due process."

He stopped pacing, turning to face Kai with a glare that could pierce steel.

"Why would anyone think it's okay to take matters into their own hands? It's wrong, Kai. Dead wrong. This isn't just about you or some vendetta. This is about the message it sends—the chaos it invites."

However Kai didn't respond, his face impassive, but Steve wasn't done. He jabbed a finger in the air as though punctuating his next words.

"Do you know what this has done? Some security bodies are already spinning this into a narrative, calling it a threat to the current government. They're saying if people can pull off something like this now, what's to stop them from wiping out an entire town tomorrow?"

His voice rose slightly, the weight of the implications clear.

"We're not talking about isolated incidents anymore. This kind of vigilante justice? It sets a dangerous precedent. And if it escalates, it won't just be a few people dying—it'll be entire communities wiped off the map."

At that moment Steve let out a sharp breath, his anger simmering but controlled as he waited for Kai to respond.

However Kai's calm demeanor faltered for a moment as Steve's words sank in, the weight of the accusations filling the room like a dense fog. He leaned forward, his cuffs clinking softly against the table, his expression a mix of disbelief.

"So that's it?"

Kai said, his voice low but steady. "All you've got to say is about people taking the law into their own hands?"

At that moment Steve glared at him, his jaw tightening, but before he could respond, Kai pressed on, his tone growing sharper.

"What about the girls? The ones who were rescued? The ones who were going to spend the rest of their lives in chains or worse?"

However Steve hesitated, his lips parting as if to respond, but Kai didn't give him the chance.

"Why isn't anyone talking about that?"

Kai's voice rose slightly, the controlled anger spilling into his words.

"Why is the focus always on the people who actually had the guts to clean up your mess? Sure, maybe they didn't follow your precious rules. Maybe they did it 'wrong.' But they saved lives. They did what you couldn't—or wouldn't."

At that moment Kai leaned back in his chair, his eyes locked on Steve, daring him to justify it.

"Tell me, Steve, why is it easier to blame them than to admit the system failed?"

The room fell silent, the tension thick enough to cut as Kai waited for Steve's response.

At that moment Steve's lips curved into a slow, knowing smile as he leaned forward, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

"You do know something, don't you, Kai?"

However Kai's jaw tightened, but he refused to let his expression betray him.

"I don't know anything," he said firmly, meeting Steve's gaze head-on. His voice was steady, unshaken. "And I'm done talking. I want my lawyer. Now."

Steve leaned back in his chair, his smile fading as his mind replayed the details of the case.

He'd been over the scene more times than he could count, and it gnawed at him.

'There wasn't a single shred of evidence left behind by the professionals. No fingerprints, no DNA, no identifiable patterns.

Even the bullets they'd used—untraceable. Foreign-made, unlike anything commonly found or even smuggled within the country. How the hell did they get them here?'

he wondered, his frustration simmering just beneath the surface.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he studied Kai, who sat calmly in his chair, his posture unbothered but resolute. Steve's thoughts churned, the mystery of the professionals and their flawless execution burning like a puzzle with missing pieces.

However Steve leaned forward, his sharp eyes locking onto Kai's. His voice was calm, but there was a weight to it that made every word land like a hammer.

" I can see, You have no idea how big this case is, Kai. No idea what's at stake here."

Kai stared at him, his frustration barely contained. "I've already told you—I don't know anything. You're making a mistake."

However Steve ignored his protest, standing up and straightening his jacket.

"Once you're ready to talk, things will change. Until then, you'll stay exactly where you are."

Before Kai could respond, the door opened, and two men in uniform stepped inside.

They approached Kai, pulling his arms back.

"This is wrong!"

Kai exclaimed, his voice echoing in the small room.

"I haven't done anything!"

Steve didn't even flinch. He turned and began walking toward the door, his back to Kai. For someone Kai had once looked up to, the indifference cut deeper than any accusation. He didn't look back, didn't say another word.

Kai twisted in his seat as the officers pulled him to his feet. "Steve, you can't do this!" he shouted, his voice tinged with disbelief.

However Kai never expected he could act like this, and he didn't regret what he did, those people were bad and he did the right thing.

But Steve didn't stop, didn't pause. He simply walked out, the door closing behind him with a heavy finality.
