Yokohama Cemetery is built on the shore of the sea.

On a sunny day, the gradation of fantasy blue is so beautiful, the sparkling sea reflects the city viaduct, and the sea breeze blowing in the face brings the unique atmosphere of the port.

The tomb of Oda Sakunosuke was placed alone on a small soil slope, under a tree with lush branches.

Surrounded by shade trees, it faces the sea.

The best angle.

Dazai was leaning against his best friend's tombstone, with his hands in his pockets, his slender legs bent, and a pair of beautiful iris-colored eyes that were rarely clear without a trace of gloom, revealing a charming color like honey under the refraction of light.

"Long time no see, Odasaku."

The dark-haired man spoke softly to himself.

"Well, I didn't want to come here at first, but my legs have their own ideas, so I came here on my own. This is really a headache. I don't know what to say to you at all."

"But we've come here, it seems a pity not to say anything... Then let's mention it."

"You remember Chuya, right? It's my short-tempered little partner."

"... What I did was exposed after all. Chuya's stubborn and bad temper really refused to forgive me, but normally speaking, it seems that not forgiving is the public's choice."

"I am very distressed now, and I dare not appear in front of Chuya at all. That little dwarf really wants to talk to me. He has been trying to find me for the past few days, but I have avoided it, because no matter what the talk is, The end result is not what I want."

If we meet with Zhongya now, we will either break up, or Zhongyuan Zhongya chooses to leave the detective agency. It is more likely that the two results will happen together.

The Armed Detective Agency is certainly important to Chuya, but it's a pity that the Mafia is his original intention.

It's just that Dr. Sen always thinks too much, he doesn't have 100% trust in each subordinate, unnecessary suspicion and temptation follow one after another.

He is always analyzing the influencing factors around Zhongyuan Zhongye, assigning weights one by one to calculate the weight on both sides, and materializing everything.

I don't believe that according to Nakahara Chuya's simple character, as long as he brings Ozaki Koyo and a few of Chuya's loyal subordinates in the past, and plays a few emotional cards in a gentle tone, he can easily get rid of the gravity that has long been shaken. To pick it up.Even if they have to bear cruel punishment for this and start from the bottom again, the other party will not have the slightest complaint.

After all, in Chuya's logic, he himself betrayed the port mafia first, and whether he was forced or not, that stupid slug would only dwell on his own mistakes.

The mafia wanted to take the traitor back "regardless of past suspicions", but for Chuya, it was a generous and tolerant kindness.

But, does Mr. Mori really not care about Chuya's [betrayal]?

Even if he knew that it was Osamu Dazai who did it back then, and that Chuya was basically forced to defect, would that suspicious man accept Chuya Nakahara again without hesitation?

impossible.

Mori Ogai will guess the changes in Nakahara Chuya in these years: whether the influence of the outside world on him will still be biased towards the armed detective agency...whether various possibilities, large and small, will shake Zhongya's feelings for the Mafia, or With the threat of Ogai Dazai himself in the eyes of Mori Ogai, this kind of deadly suspicion is enough to frame Chuya to death, so that even if the other party goes back, he will not get the same treatment as before, but will be heavily monitored.

Mori Ogai believed in the loyalty of Nakahara Chuya.

But it will not stop the suspicion of the other party.

He is such a contradictory, meticulous and suspicious guy who treats his subordinates as pawns and is hard to trust.

He is greedy for the strength of Gravity, and he is unwilling to let Nakahara Chuya become the shield of his old rival Armed Detective Agency. This is the main reason why Mori Ogai will pull Nakahara Chuya back no matter what.

However, thanks to Mori Ogai's superfluous action, Dazai Osamu had the opportunity to act.

"Odasaku, I have something to do."

The handsome man with black hair stood up and stretched out his hand to lightly press on the tombstone.

He showed the most gentle smile, which was astonishingly clean and brilliant.

"As a friend, bless me with success, ah! Maybe you have already bless me."

For example [Chinese text also] this miraculous life.

"Using Xiaowenya as a breakthrough point, Zhongye will never give up on it anymore, after all he—"

He cares so much about his inhuman identity, and yearns for the bonds of his own kind and family.

The words murmured in Dazai's mouth for a long time before continuing:

"—After all, he, even if I did such an excessive thing, he didn't leave me without saying anything. This is already a sign of love for me, right?"

The man who did a lot of bad things smiled so confidently in front of his best friend's grave.

The sea breeze blew over again, lifting the hem of the man's sand-colored clothes.

"Goodbye, Odasaku."

"I hope I can bring Zhong to see you next time."

Osamu Dazai raised his head with a smile, and looked at his junior Atsushi Nakajima walking towards him in the distance without any surprise.

The gentle white tiger boy worked so hard to find Dazai's trace, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and walked over to tell him about the meeting.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Osamu Dazai raised his hand and waved it with a bright smile, "The owner of the manufacturer of the [advanced doll] I customized before will talk to me about the details later, I can't leave."

"Play, doll?" Atsushi Nakajima blinked his eyes in confusion, "Is it the slug doll you tricked Xiaowen into buying?"

Mr. Nakaya and Mr. Fumi were also going to die of anger. The one student complained about Dazai all day in the office, um...Mr. Nakaya, who was swearing from time to time, was also educated by Kunikida all day.

According to Wen Ye, the slug doll seems to have been suppressed by Mr. Chu Ye, and it was not lost because Xiao Wen also paid for it.

"...Well, almost."

Osamu Dazai smiled and slipped away quickly, not forgetting to raise his hand in the shape of a trumpet, pretending to shout loudly, "Anyway, the meeting or something is PASS!"

Atsushi Nakajima couldn't stop him from skipping work as usual, he could only watch the habitual offender escape.

Atsushi muttered dejectedly: "Ah, I'm going to be scolded by Mr. Kunikida again."

Armed Detective Agency.

meeting room.

Except for Dazai who was absent from work, all the investigators and clerks of the detective agency, including Wenya who was not a member of the detective agency, held a meeting together in the conference room.

There is a piece of information in front of everyone, except for Mr. Ranpo, a clever detective does not need these things, he just needs to listen casually to the introduction to get the answer.So he chose to put snacks on the table.

Xiao Wen was also hugged by his father, and Mr. Ranpo was beside him. He obediently listened to Mr. Kunikida's words, and he didn't dare to make any noise. He only occasionally opened his mouth to bite the potato chips that Ranpo was feeding beside him, and said in a low voice. Crushed.

The curtains in the room were all drawn, the lights were not turned on, and only the projector at the front was working.

What is being shown on the projection screen is the footage captured by surveillance cameras in Taipei, Taiwan three years ago.

In the city in the video, a strange dense fog appeared in just a few minutes and then quickly disappeared, and after the white fog dissipated, a suspicious corpse was found.

The body of a man whose body was charred and completely invisible.

Xiaowen was also taken aback, and stretched out his hand to grab his father's clothes, Zhongyuan also lowered his head and rubbed the little guy's head.

Don't be afraid.

Chuya silently comforted him that he didn't think it was bad for a child to watch this kind of picture.

The former people's teacher Kunikida wanted to stop him, but Nakahara didn't agree.

His child is also a person with supernatural powers, not an ordinary person. Although Yokohama is generally regarded as peaceful, it also has certain dangers. It would certainly be better for Wen Ye to know more about the dark shadow behind the light.

Zhong Yuanzhong is also willing to protect his children, but the necessary risks must be clearly explained,

After all, neither the former mafia cadre Chuya Nakahara nor the current armed detective agency Chuya Nakahara is an ordinary person who is unknown, and he has to guard against someone looking at his children.

Just like the mafia represented by that kid Akutagawa, Mr. Mori really noticed the little guy.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but want to sigh.

In the past few days, Nakahara has met Akutagawa several times, and the other party's intentions are clearly in front of his eyes. It is so straightforward that people can't complain. Why did Mr. Mori ask him to investigate the intelligence.Let Zhong also rack his brains very hard every time to perfunctory, and he can't say harsh words. After all, it is also a child he has taken care of for a period of time, and it is still a headache.

Wen Ye, who is also a gravity envoy, is an astonishing piece of jade in the eyes of many organizations, especially those who are familiar with Zhongye's skills in the Central Plains.

I don't know Chuya's background, but I only know the strength of the opponent, so I naturally have high expectations for Zhongyuanwen who has inherited [father's] ability.

Let alone a child.And children are the best age to control.

Zhong also needs to let the little guy have a certain sense of self-protection, so he has been introducing Yokohama, a special society, to Wenya these days.

The orange-haired young man was very conflicted. Just as Osamu Dazai guessed, compared to the detective agency, he did have the intention of returning to the port mafia, but he didn't want his child to be brought into the darkness at all.

He can not be afraid of danger and death, and can step out his own path brilliantly in the bloody environment, but he doesn't want Wen Ye to be forced into the inner world because of his father.

"Kunikida." Ranbu squinted at the corpse on the screen, reached out and handed a piece of potato chips to the mouth of Xiao Wenya who was beside him, watched the little guy bite it before continuing: "This person has supernatural powers. whoever."

"Yes, Mr. Ranpo."

Kunikida switched the page, revealing the identity of the deceased.

No one was surprised that Ranpo knew at a glance that the corpse was a person with supernatural powers without getting any information. Rather, this is the daily life of the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo.

Then I switched the screen several times, all of which were the same example.After the appearance of the unbelievable dense fog, people with supernatural powers all over the world died from their own supernatural powers—128 such cases have occurred, and more than 500 people with supernatural powers died.

The Yokohama Supernatural Special Affairs Section called this incident [the serial suicide incident of people with supernatural abilities].

The detailed content was all written in the previous documents, and Zhongyuan Zhong also picked up the copy on his desktop, opened it and looked at it with a sullen face.

"Speaking of which—Atsushi, where is that idiot Dazai!?"

Atsushi Nakajima was startled, turned his head cautiously, and scratched his face: "Um...Mr. Dazai said he wanted to talk to the owner of the [advanced doll] manufacturer, so he won't attend the meeting..."

Kunikida yelled loudly: "Huh—!? That pervert!!! What is a high-level doll! Does he want to be beaten to death by Chuya!? No, just beat him to death! Skip work all day and return The bastard who gave me the job!"

Apparently, almost everyone present thought of the slug doll that Osamu Dazai lied to Wenya to buy earlier. By the way, Akiko Yosano also ran to Chuya’s house out of curiosity and took a photo of the doll to share with others. .

——Except for a directional visual sense, at least the appearance of the slug doll is quite cute, the color matching and the small hat are so vivid, Miss Naomi even covered her face and muttered that she wanted one too.

Zhong Yuan also had an indifferent face.

Edogawa Ranpo on the side was holding the potato chips, opened his mouth slightly, and instead of biting down, put the potato chips back into the bag after two seconds.

"That's it." Luanbu muttered suddenly, and then decisively took out a safe, and stuffed his precious snacks into it one by one in front of everyone.

"Mr. Ranpo, what are you doing?" Kenji blinked and looked at Ranpo's movements curiously.

"It's a secret." Ranpo calmly locked the safe, then stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Wenya from Nakaya's lap beside him, and put his arms in his arms.

Ranpo bent his eyes like a cat, and rubbed the little guy's cheek.

"But Wen Ye is really cute [in this way], but it's a pity that I can't put it in the safe."

Wen, who didn't know why, raised his head slightly, thought for a while, and said with a bright smile:

"Mr. Ranpo is also very cute."

After finishing speaking, the little guy rubbed his cheek against Mr. Ranpo who was hugging him.

Well, the two cuties were bragging about each other, and everyone looked at them skillfully for a while with conniving expressions, and then continued the meeting.

People with supernatural powers who touch the mist will commit suicide. The current intelligence seems to be able to get only this result, and the purpose of the president's special meeting is not just to remind all the superhumans of the detective agency to be careful.

"The Secret Service sent a search request. The man suspected of being involved in the serial suicides has sneaked into Yokohama, so we are commissioned to arrest that man."

Kunikida explained that with the other hand, he pressed the control button, and the photo of the suspected criminal suspect sent by the Supernatural Secret Service was projected.

This person is-

"Shibusawa Tatsuhiko!?"

Zhong Yuanzhong's eyes widened for a moment, his voice was raised, he stood up suddenly, and even the chair was knocked down to the ground.

The author has something to say: Luanbu: In short, let me hold Xiaowen tight first.
