Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 41

"???"

A look of confusion washed over Shirou's face as he couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, are you sure you have the right person?"

"I apologize, I made a mistake," Artoria's eyes dulled as she apologized. She realized that this was not her Camelot, but rather the modern era, more than 1,500 years later. The wise princess had long since disappeared.

Shirou walked away, still confused. He had thought that his identity had been uncovered, and he had double-checked the sun to confirm that it was daylight.

"What's the matter, Saber?" Irisviel approached and inquired.

"Nothing, I just thought I recognized someone," Artoria replied with a solemn expression.

Irisviel glanced at Shirou's back and couldn't help but chuckle. "The person you knew, is it someone else's child?"

"No, just someone who resembled someone I knew when they were young," Artoria replied before walking away with Irisviel.

...

Shirou, adhering to his pre-planned schedule, headed to the police department in Fuyuki City, but he couldn't shake off a strange sensation in his heart. He shook his head, trying not to dwell on these random thoughts, and instead focused on the Holy Grail War, and his survival.

He arrived at the Fuyuki City Police Department and noticed that it was busier than it was during his last visit, which was to be expected as there had been a terrorist attack the previous night. A district of rental houses was rigged with C4 explosives and had been detonated, resulting in a raging inferno.

Although the area affected by the attack was not economically well-off, and the targeted rental house was in an isolated area, there were no significant casualties. However, the impact was far-reaching. The Fuyuki City Police Department bore the brunt of it as they were responsible for ensuring the safety of the citizens. They had failed to capture the perpetrator and prevent the terrorist attack, which greatly damaged their reputation.

As a result, the entire Fuyuki City Police Department was mobilized to capture the terrorists, but their efforts were hindered by the terrorists' sophisticated methods and lack of clues. Just as the department was in a state of panic, Shirou stepped in and provided a crucial lead.

Shirou used [Suggestion] to infiltrate the office of the department head and ultimately gained control over him.

"Last night's terrorist attack was carried out by members of a transnational terrorist organization, led by a local individual named Kiritsugu. Initiate a pursuit immediately. Be advised, this person is heavily armed and extremely dangerous. In the event of an encounter, use deadly force instead of attempting to make an arrest."

Kiritsugu had nearly killed him the previous night, so as a form of reciprocation, Shirou used [Suggestion] to reveal Kiritsugu's characteristics and draw a detailed image of him. With this information, the department head, under the influence of [Suggestion], issued an order for a reward and wanted notice of Kiritsugu's capture.

However, the order to use deadly force may not be practical, as an official organization must follow proper procedures to avoid illegal action and disorder.

Under the influence of [Suggestion], the department head obtained information about Kiritsugu, becoming extremely angry and demanding answers from his department: "Contact them all, how could they let a dangerous criminal bring weapons into the country? What are they doing?"

[Suggestion] is similar to hypnosis, it can influence the surface consciousness but cannot change the subconscious and personality. The department head's reaction was entirely his own nature. In order to avoid exposure, Shirou only used [Suggestion] to control the department head and issued orders through him, instead of trying to hypnotize the entire police department.
