Mr. Hat who was forced to lose his memory

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt that he was really at odds with traveling abroad.

When returning from the first business trip, the leader of Mori Ogai died; when returning from the second business trip, the leader Osamu Dazai committed suicide.

Looking at the corpse covered in a white cloth in the coffin, Zhong Yuanzhong also knelt on the ground, not caring much if the dust on the ground stained the expensive royal blue trousers.It took him a long time to shake his hand before he stretched it out and pulled off the white cloth.

Osamu Dazai was lying on it with his eyes closed, and his face with one side of the bandage removed was quiet and beautiful, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep rather than death.

It's really strange, obviously he fell from a height of more than 30 floors, and his body was broken into pieces, but his face was miraculously unaffected. Could it be that God couldn't bear to destroy his appearance because of the pity of the heavens?

"what……"

A hoarse voice came from his throat, and Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't describe his mood at the moment.anger?sad?happy?

There seems to be both, and there seems to be none.

He couldn't laugh or cry, he could only stare at his red eyes, clutching the white cloth tightly.From the filth all over the ground, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness.Nakahara also hoped that this was just a prank by Osamu Dazai, and he would sit up from the coffin in the next second, laughing at his subordinates' gaffes, just like before.

But no.

Osamu Dazai still quietly closed his eyes, lying in the coffin without breathing ups and downs.

In a trance, a picture appeared in front of Zhongya Zhongya. 15-year-old Osamu Dazai walked up to him amidst the rubble with shaky steps, bent his face close to him, and said to him with a smile, "I'm a little interested in the work of the Mafia.

"In the superficial world, death would be considered unlucky and hidden from everyday life. But that's not the case in the world of the Mafia, where death is part of the extended line of everyday life.

"And I probably think that the life here is correct, because 'death' is not the opposite of 'survival', but just one of the many functions that make up 'survival'. Breathing, eating, falling in love, and dying, if It is impossible to grasp the full picture of existence without observing death up close."

At that time, Osamu Dazai became interested in being alive for the first time, and his always indifferent and empty expression began to have a human breath.

Sitting in the chief's office, Osamu Dazai looked up and smiled at him who had just returned from a business trip: "Welcome back, Chuya."

For the first time, he knelt down on one knee to the new leader of his former partner and swore allegiance. From then on, other assassins who wanted to kill Osamu Dazai had to step on his body first.

The 22-year-old Osamu Dazai stood above the night view of Yokohama and stretched out his hand to him: "Do you want to die in love with me?"

……

After a long time, the head that had been pressing its forehead against the edge of the coffin finally moved, and Zhong Yuanzhong also slowly raised his head. He did not shed tears, but his eyes were full of incomparable pain. roared at the corpse on the coffin—

"No one will shed a tear for your death, you bastard—!!"

……

The funeral of the Port Mafia chief was low-key and swift, and there was some reshuffle in Port Mafia power.Nakahara Chuya, as the second in command under the leader, still sits in the port mafia, but he rejected the request to become the leader.

"I'm just a sword of the port mafia. Going to the front line and killing the enemy is my favorite way of fighting. Being stuck in an office for life is not my style."

As a result, Koye Ozaki, who is also one of the five major cadres of the port mafia, had to be ordered in the face of danger and became the new leader after Osamu Dazai.

After Koyo Ozaki became the leader, there was a vacancy in the position of the original five major cadres, so Hirotsu Yanagi, who was the head of the Black Lizard Hundred, was promoted and became one of the new five major cadres.

After all the changes in the flow of people and the dust settled, Nakahara Nakaya leaned against his car, smoking quietly while looking at the sea in Yokohama.

The brand of cigarettes is not expensive, and it is not even his favorite cigarette. Goldenbat——Golden bat, an ancient brand from the beginning of the last century, the strong smell of tar reaches the lungs without the filter, with a little drunkenness of sake, all the air in the lungs is squeezed, leaving only Thick clouds and mist lingering in my heart.

Nakahara also hates this taste, but this is Osamu Dazai's favorite brand.

When sorting out the relics in the chief's office, Koyo Ozaki handed him the unopened box of cigarettes. The green leather packaging was in the old style unique to the last century, with two golden bats with spread wings painted on it.Koyo Ozaki has always used a pipe, so she said: "I don't use this kind of cigarette, you can take it away, burn it for him or use it yourself."

Ha, why should he burn cigarettes to this bastard, he should let that guy go to hell and never smoke cigarettes for the rest of his life--Thinking of this, Zhong Yuanzhong also took another savage breath, the mouthless cigarette The strong smell choked him almost to tears.

In the dense mist, it seemed that all the hustle and bustle of the world had gone away from him, only the sparkling calm sea still accompanied him.

Suddenly, during the last meeting, Osamu Dazai's words appeared in Chuya Nakahara's mind-"If you have time, go back to your small apartment in the suburbs."

Zhong Yuanzhong also widened his eyes suddenly.

How could he almost forget?Since Osamu Dazai would say that, it meant that he must have left something in that apartment.Maybe a relic, maybe a clue.In short, he must go back now.

Zhong Yuanzhong also decisively snuffed out his cigarette and got into the car, speeding all the way.On weekdays, it takes one hour and half an hour to arrive. Fortunately, this time is not the peak period, and there are not many vehicles on the road.As for speeding fines?go fuck it.

The apartment in the suburbs was a bit older than I remembered, and the wind and rain had left traces of being wet on the walls.Zhong Yuanzhong also took out the key and opened the door lock.

Strangely, the house was clean and there was no sign of dust accumulation.Nakahara Chuya thought, maybe Dazai Osamu had kindly helped him clean it before.But still unbelievable.

It's unbelievable that a guy like Osamu Dazai can do housework.

It's unbelievable too... Osamu Dazai, a scourge, bid farewell to this world and embraced death in this way.

The furniture arrangement has not changed in any way, and at the same time, the layout of Zhongya Nakahara is the same as when he moved out of this apartment four years ago.

He rummaged through the apartment until he found an envelope in the pocket of the dark green leather jacket he wore when he was 15, hanging in the closet in his room.

The appearance of the envelope is quite elegant, but the paper quality and feel made Chuya Nakahara immediately recognize it—this is the precious paper that only the port mafia leader would use.

It seems that this is the "relic" left to him by Osamu Dazai.

Zhong Yuanzhong also found a utility knife from the desk drawer, cut along the edge of the envelope, and a piece of paper fell out of it.

The content on the paper was not what he had imagined, such as last words, but only a few short large characters written in Osamu Dazai's handwriting.

"XX Orphanage".

Zhong Yuanzhong also had a vague impression of the name of this orphanage.Osamu Dazai once told him that Atsushi Nakajima lived there when he was a child, and later because of his out-of-control ability, he killed the director of the orphanage and escaped. He was picked up by Osamu Dazai when he was dying of hunger and cold .Atsushi Nakajima joined the Port Mafia under the arrangement of Osamu Dazai, and was trained to become the famous "White Death" of the Port Mafia.

However, with the death of Osamu Dazai, Atsushi Nakajima disappeared from the port mafia as if he had evaporated from the world, and his whereabouts are still unknown.A subordinate reported that Atsushi Nakajima disappeared after being fired by Osamu Dazai during his lifetime.

It seems that there may be some secrets in this orphanage, otherwise Osamu Dazai would not have written such a name in the envelope and left it for him.

Zhongyuan Zhong also drove to the orphanage that was still in operation according to the map sent by his subordinates.

The size of the orphanage is small, but it is clean and tidy. Zhongyuan Zhongye even heard the laughter of children coming from inside.After he parked the car nearby, he took a deep breath before walking towards the entrance of the orphanage.

There seemed to be a person leaning against the entrance of the orphanage, against the light, Zhongyuan Zhong also couldn't see the face of that person clearly at first.However, as he got closer and closer, Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

"How is it possible...you, why are you here?!"

The man in the white coat standing at the entrance of the orphanage was the former leader of the port mafia who should have died four years ago - Mori Ogai.
