Disqualification

"Tokugawa?" After hearing Dazai's question, the proprietress of Tsukiyongya showed a relaxed expression, and kept pushing, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Tokugawa's death yesterday was just the beginning. Even the insignificant members of the family have different identities from ordinary people. Since the opening of Yoshiwara this evening, servants wearing the same clothes have been going in and out of each teahouse, trying to mess with the teahouse. Know the truth about death.

Their style can be called tyrannical. Seeing this scene, many foreign visitors who came to Huajie simply didn't even look for the wandering girls, and called wherever they came from.

Dazai has a pleasing appearance, even with a beautiful girl, the proprietresses of other teahouses are willing to talk to him a few more times under Waraji Ji's deadly gaze, who knows that the questions he asks match one sharp.

"I came to Chishiya, the proprietress there said that Tokugawa likes to find the oiran of Yueyongya." Dazai's voice was very provocative, and matched with his face, "Okay, proprietress, I heard that Tokugawa has provoked people, and it just so happens that I have a friend who has a little friendship with him, and has been in and out of Yoshihara many times, and now he is afraid that he will also suffer unknown revenge and die here, so let me come out to inquire on his behalf."

Luo Ji followed behind Dazai, and rolled her eyes without hesitation. She understood why Dazai could become a novelist, and it was a shame for him not to write novels based on his ability to make up nonsense.

"This……"

Dazai got closer to the proprietress, the distance between them was less than three centimeters, almost nose-to-nose, he had good facial features, and the look in his eyes was charming, the proprietress of Yueyong House had seen countless men, and at this moment, he was forced by a beautiful man. , the heart is still pounding.

"Hey, what are you doing so close?" Falling Ji exploded, reaching out to grab Dazai's lapel, and pulling her back vigorously, at the same time fiercely said to the proprietress of Yueyong House, "What are you looking at, look at your eyes again!" Pick it out."

[She looks familiar. ] The proprietress gave Luo Ji a stare, and she was about to break out in a cold sweat. There are many wild girls who don't know the rules in Yoshihara, but few people feel oppressed. Home.

"No, no, no, no!"

The proprietress's thoughts were interrupted by a strange sound, she took a closer look and saw that Dazai was covering Yuji's mouth with one hand. The scene made the proprietress dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiaomei is jealous." He said with a smile, "Please, lady boss, it's okay to talk about which teahouse Tokugawa likes to go to."

The lady proprietress of Yueyong House coughed: "Let me tell you first, big men don't like our girls, but I really know something about Chi Xiaya." She lowered her voice, "I heard that Tokugawa-sama is A very unruly guest who caused a lot of scandals after becoming the guest of Sumikawa Oiran."

"scandal?"

"Xinzo, who was next to Sumikawa Oiran named Miko, passed away," she said, "It was a terrible death."

Sumikawa Oiran is the head of Tomoshitaya's housewife. Before Dazai went to several teahouses, the proprietresses pushed around and only reported the names of other teahouses to divert attention. Tomoshitaya appeared more often.

He pieced together the information from several sources and filled in the complete truth.

……

"Tokugawa is the scum of the scum."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki made a good move. He took Butterfly Ninja to the most dilapidated and darkest corner of Yoshihara. The people living here were all abandoned by Huajie. Walking in from the alley, they saw the pregnant wandering girl one by one. , a person tortured by syphilis to the point of unspeakable misery, a toddler in scanty clothes, a girl with a scratched face...

The largest number of children.

"They were born here," Tomioka said.

Butterfly understood what he meant, and she took out a small cloth bag from her skirt.

The cloth bag was stuffed into her by Twig before going out, saying that Xinzao next to Fern Ji left it for her, so that she would have nothing to eat and play with. After opening the bag, she found that it was all exquisite hard candies, which were imported from Europe. People call it foreign fruit.

Dazai has a special place in Ji Ji's heart, and even the oil bottle he brought with him has become the target of the new creations. Butterfly reluctantly refuses but can only accept it.

"Which one of you knows about Tokugawa?" she said, "I'll share his sweets with you."

"Gudu——" Butterfly Ninja heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and also saw the fierce light in the children's eyes. The children raised by Yoshiwara are not good. Not too young to be able to...

"鋥——" Yoshioka Tomioka pulled out his knife, the blade was cold in the night, the knife after drinking blood and opened the knife was different from the decorations, and his expression was too cold, as if he could cut the untouchables under the knife at any time.

The children flinched, terrified.

Die Die's eyes dimmed, and she forcefully took back the cloth package: "It's a pity." She said softly, "It seems that none of you know."

"As long as you say it, you can get foreign fruit?" a woman whispered.

Butterfly, who had turned around and was about to leave, stomped her feet. She smiled kindly, but in the eyes of the children, she was nothing more than a monster.

"Of course." Her smile resembled Dazai's, at least with a trace of unfamiliarity after imitation. "A good boy who is obedient deserves praise."

A small bubble popped up in Yoshiyuki Tomioka's heart.

[It looks familiar. ]

[Did she learn from Dazai-sensei? ]

Butterfly Shinobu: [Mr. Tsushima's expression is really easy to use. ]

……

Takuto Tokugawa is also a deranged, shoddy, disgusting idiot.

He is the weakest second son in the family. His elder brother has already served as the executive of a civil enterprise at a young age, and he manages the company well. After Cheng came back, he was also a successful new-style person.

As for him, he is humble in appearance, mediocre in qualifications, ignorant of literature, mediocre in physics and chemistry, and the shadow of his ancestors' glory has never been shown on him, as if the bad roots accumulated by the whole family for generations have been piled up on him.

He is a well-known good-for-nothing in the Tokugawa family, even the name Takuya... This name is too mediocre and too common, like Dairo, Jiro, and Saburo from poor families.

"Learn from your brother, Takuya."

"Don't disturb your brother's work."

"Why don't you look like our family at all?"

"You are a disgrace to Tokugawa, Takuya."

Takuya grew up with Takuya Tokugawa when he was a child, and the male and female servants at home also looked down on him. If the elder brother needed a cup of coffee, or the younger brother wanted to eat chawanmushi, even if his stomach was empty, he would keep tweeting , and no one cares about him.

He is not in good health, and he would be out of breath after a while after going out for exercise. Before the arrival of his youth, he most often stayed in a gloomy mansion, with male servants cleaning the garden in the outer courtyard, surrounded by women in kimonos taking small steps.

[I'm fed up with women's gossip. ]

"Master Takuya..."

"It's better to be the young master."

"Look at his appearance..."

[This kind of talk is everywhere, even the lowly maid can discriminate against me and talk about me. ]

The young and beautiful maid became the lover of the elder brother and younger brother, but he could only plead under the old woman. The unseemly woman forced him when he was very young. Since then, women have been in his heart Become the embodiment of ugly.

[That said, it's nothing more than projecting hatred on weaker people. ]

"Iko told me all these things before he died." Oiran Sumikawa sat across from Dazai and Yuhime. It was hard to imagine what kind of means he used to directly call Oiran Sumikawa's guest, especially He also took another playgirl.

Yoshihara had an unwritten rule that if a male guest became the "husband" of the oiran, he could not find other prostitutes in Yoshiwara, even a general could not escape this rule.

"Iko is the name of Shinzo after death." Sumikawa said.

"Um--"

"That bastard——" Ji Ji gritted her teeth, looking at her appearance, if Tokugawa Taku was in front of her, he might directly tear her into pieces.

Oiran Sumikawa went on to say: "I'm very sorry for Yizi, her death is my heart." She said, "Takuya Tokugawa, his reputation was not very good at the beginning, it is said that he had searched for the lower-level girls several times earlier. Make the scene very bloody, and then send homage money to all the oirans."

Speaking of this, Ji Ji also began to recall, but unfortunately, she did not recall Tokugawa's name. She is a very inattentive oiran. She pays homage to Jin Zhaoshou. Taro acted as an agent, and less than half of them could really be seen by her.

Sending greeting cards to many oirans in Huajie is a very rude behavior in itself, and once known by others, they will definitely be turned away by the oirans.

"I didn't know his behavior at the time, so I agreed to the first visit, and Yizi was by my side at that time."

After meeting once, Sumikawa learned about Tokugawa Takuya's behavior and never saw him again, but Shinzao was different. Although he was a reserve oiran, he did not have the right to refuse guests. At the same time, Tokugawa Takuya was also very generous in money.

"It was Yizi who was with him all the time." Sumikawa continued, "It was alright at the beginning, only that Tokugawa's character was rather tyrannical and he would spit foul language, but later..."

"There are wounds on your body, right?"

"Yes." Sumikawa Oiran almost burst into tears when she said this, "I asked the reason and she was unwilling to tell me, but the bald next to me told me that she only found out what happened after she had a wound on her body after Tokugawa left. "

"You can refuse, that idiot." Of course the idiot in Luo Ji's mouth is Yizi Xinzao, "Just tell the proprietress that Xinzao is also quite valuable. If that guy dares to be rough on Xinzao, he will be directly caught by the street after it is reported. All shops are expelled."

Cheng Chuan Hua Kui shook her head: "Yizi, she is not very different from us. I am alone on this street, without father and mother, and she has a younger sister, who is one year younger than her and not very good-looking. In the low-level playgirl house."

Several blue veins popped out of Luo Ji's forehead.

"He was found, right?" Dazai covered his mouth with one hand, "It should be said that he saw Ms. Iko's younger sister in a low-level girl's house. The two have different levels of beauty, but they have similarities in general appearance. On the way to be a guest, Tokugawa may have asked something, and at the same time threatened Yizi, if she does not want to receive him, she will go to her younger sister who is a low-level prostitute, they are real consumables, and they have no right to refuse."

"Yes."

Sumikawa Oiran thought about that day again. Near noon, Tokugawa came out of Iko's room with the same expression on his face, no, it was a little different. She still couldn't forget Tokugawa's expression until now. His... She is calm, but her eyes are not quite right. There are many bloodshot eyes in the white part, and the pupils are constricted. When she met Sumikawa, she showed an excited smile. How should I describe it.

Yes, that's the kind: [I know you look down on me, so what, I can also make you fall into the abyss. ]

It's a vengeful smile.

It's his revenge on all women.

It was Tokugawa's smile at the time that made Sumikawa realize that something was wrong. She walked to Iko Shinzo's door in three steps at a time, knocked on the wall next to the paper door, and shouted "Iko Iko" with.

There was no reply for a long time.

She frowned, pushed the door open, and immediately screamed, but Tokugawa stepped out of Chishita's door without changing his face.

Yizi was lying on the bed with her eyes open, and there were two bruise marks on her neck, which were the scratches of an adult man's hand.

"How is Iko Shinzo's younger sister?" Dazai continued to ask.

"I also died later." Cheng Chuan said, "I heard that he contracted a disease."

There are only those diseases in Huajie, most of which are syphilis. The fallen princess sitting next to Dazai can hardly maintain a human expression on her face. If you look closely, you will find that she has turned into vertical pupils, like a girl who is trying her best to suppress her anger. clouded leopard.

[Kill him kill him kill him kill him kill him. ]

[I want him to beg bitterly before he dies and be hacked into pieces again. After his death, his body will be thrown into the wilderness and be eaten by vultures. ]

Falling Hime resonated with Iko Shinzo's experience. She didn't know why, why she was so angry, why she felt that Tokugawa Takuya's behavior was unforgivable.

But Osamu Dazai knew, he knew what happened to Luo Ji during her lifetime, she knew that she resisted the powerful and powerful who tried to rape her, that she pierced the other's single eyeball with the silver hairpin that Dazai gave her, and he knew that the other party directly dug her for revenge. They dug a pit, set a fire, and burned the beautiful Xiaomei into human-shaped coke.

She was still alive, even if she was turned into coke, she called her brother and also called Dazai, saying that she was in pain.

"Calm down." Dazai held her hand, "Calm down Xiaomei."

Don't get caught up in past resentments, don't let anger manipulate your brain.The corners of the belt that accompanied her were turned up, ready to move, ready to make a fuss at any time, but when Dazai grabbed her, the restlessness stopped.

"Does he have any playmates who came to Yoshihara?" Dazai continued to ask.

"There should be." Cheng Chuan Huakui said, "Although Yizi didn't tell me, he never came alone, and he once held a banquet at Chishita's house to invite friends."

This was all Sumikawa Oiran could tell Dazai.

It was getting late, Dazai pulled Yu Ji to leave, and after one night, he collected enough information.

"Please, please wait a moment." Sumikawa Oiran said, "I, I hope what I said can help you." She said, "Thank you very much, Warahime Oiran."

"Thank you very much for being able to sympathize with Yizi's experience."

"what?"

[I was recognized? ]

[Damn, what do you mean, who sympathizes with that damned unlucky ghost. ]

[No, no, I was recognized for being so ugly, and I still wanted to eat her. ]

[Next time, wait until this matter is over before eating. ]

Luo Ji was dragged out in a daze.

……

"It turns out that scum is not the first one."

The prostitute Taro came out from the dark underground, and has been wandering around Yoshiwara day and night since he became a ghost. No one in the world is more familiar with where to go to find information than him.

Tokugawa was not the only one who died, or in other words, some people were missing, but Tokugawa was found, that's all.

[It's not a wandering girl, but a male guest from outside? ]

He had to suspect that the ghost was hiding among the wandering girls, and she was a ghost full of resentment towards men and bent on revenge.

……

Butterfly Shinobi finished sending out the hard candies.

She and Yoshiyuki Tomioka listened a lot, so much so that Yoshiyuki Tomioka's tendons on the back of his hands bulged, and he wanted to draw his knife to chop the invisible ghost into eight pieces.

"He will look for children from Huajie, not the kind of wandering girls."

"Yes, girl."

"Several died."

"It's really pitiful. Before he died, he was covered with injuries."

"No one stopped it, there was no way to stop it."

"You can't stand against adults, and there are several of them."

Shocking evil deeds, at a certain moment Butterfly Ninja even thought that even a ghost, even a man-eating ghost, would be more inhumane, because when a person dies, he is dead, and Tokugawa, he would humiliate a person in every possible way before he died.

[How can such a person exist in the world. ]

Can't understand, can't understand at all.

"Let's go." Tomioka Yoshiyuki said, "We have found the direction." The next step is to go to the teahouse that Tokugawa and his partners often go to investigate, sneaking is also possible.

Butterfly stood up.

He and Tomioka Yoshiyuki walked to the entrance of the alley, but they met two familiar people.

"Ah, Twig?"

"!"

"Master Butterfly, why are you here?"

Ishijiro pointed at Yoshiyuki Tomioka with trembling fingers: "You bastard, why are you so haunted."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka: "."

[I remembered. ]

"A thief." His voice did not fluctuate, "The thief who stole the teacher's wallet."

Butterfly endured: "Huh?"
