I open a cafe in Yokohama

Chapter 17 17. The Monster

Dazai was looking at the documents sent by the government at Wokikida.There are a lot of materials sent by the government, which are basically the basic situation of the dead, and the number of people is quite large. The two of them read the materials for a long time before they have time to discuss.

"The death toll is a bit high, why did you send it here now?" Kunikida felt a little headache, he had a lot of information in his hand, but there were no clear clues, he only knew the basic condition of the corpse and the cause of death.

Looking at the description on the document, Dazai felt a little strange. These people died in different ways, but the location of their death was a bit strange, and what other crimes were written next to them.

Seeing Dazai's thoughtful expression, Kunikida asked, "What did you find?"

"Do you think there is something wrong with their deaths?" Dazai pointed to a point on the document and showed Kunikida.

"Huh? This... all died when they were alone?" Kunikida quickly flipped through the pages. Some of the deceased lived alone, and some had families, but it was found that they were all killed when they were alone.

"More than that, look at where they died." Dazai pointed out his discovery calmly.

"Villa...toilet...study...living room...the other party's abilities are limited, can only kill people in a similar closed space?"

"First find out how the murderer knows this." Dazai said this suddenly without beginning or end.

Kunikida couldn't react, Dazai's words were too jumpy: "Dazai, where are you planning to go?"

"Of course we should go to the victim's family and ask for clarification!" Dazai put the documents on the table, opened the door, and planned to leave.

Kunikida hurriedly put away the materials, picked up his notebook and followed Dazai: "Dazai, wait for me, I'll be with you."

The two took a taxi downstairs, Dazai reported the address, and Kunikida asked him, "How can you be sure that you can know this location?"

"I don't know. I just randomly selected the addresses of people with serious crimes and high status and families."

"You mean, there is a possibility that someone will come to the house to make trouble and leak the truth?" Kunikida thought of the crimes of these people and immediately thought of it.

"Probably." Dazai looked out of the car window and only responded to Kunikida indifferently.

Kunikida looked at Dazai with a complicated expression, and thought to himself: Is he really a spy?No, I can't be preconceived, even if he is so sharp, it can't explain anything, continue to observe.Kunikida swept away his complicated thoughts, turned on the phone and continued to read the information to find a breakthrough.

The two arrived at their destination without incident along the way.Kunikida got out of the car first: "Is this the same family? Dazai, why don't you go in and ask?"

"You can ask Kunikida." Dazai sat in the taxi and waved at Kunikida.

"What the hell is that guy trying to do!" Kunikida scratched his hair impatiently, so he went in alone to ask.

"No matter how many times, I still don't like that kind of scene." Dazai said to himself, looking for the next location he had chosen with his mobile phone in his hand, and told the taxi driver.

Dazai didn't wait long, Kunikida came out in a panic, as if something was chasing him, and he was relieved when Kunikida got into the car.

"Have you found anything?"

"No, that man's wife doesn't know anything, not even what he has done. She only found out when the police came to the door. She is about to collapse and can't ask anything." Kunikida thought of the crazy wife Can't help but sigh.

"That's it, driver, please drive."

In this way, Dazai and Kunikida's family visited each other, and the two of them came to ask questions in turn. Sometimes it was okay, and the family members were more rational and cooperative, but it was difficult to ask something if they couldn't bear it.

"Dazai, what number is this?" Kunikida asked wearily.

"Ninth one, it's almost over." Dazai was also in a mess.

"Who's going?" Kunikida retreated a little rarely.

"Then I'll be fine." Dazai tidied up his clothes, got out of the car and walked directly to the door to ring the bell.

"Hello, this is Qingli's house, what can I do?"

"I am Osamu Dazai, and I have been entrusted to investigate the case."

"Didn't the police come here a few days ago?"

"The police have entrusted us to the detective agency, and some others may be involved."

"This... Please wait a moment, I will ask the master." The doorbell was quickly turned off, Dazai stood at the door and observed Qingli's house. It is an old courtyard, which seems to have been old and well maintained good.

"Guest, please come in." At this moment the door was opened, and several servants were waiting there.

Dazai nodded to them, and followed a servant towards the reception room.

When we arrived at the reception room, the servant opened the door, and a beautiful woman in a kimono was sitting inside, making tea.

"Please sit down." She slowly put down the tea set and made a gesture of please, her voice was cold and clear.

"Hi, you should know why I'm here." Dazai sat directly opposite her.

"Yes, what do you want to write?" She watched Dazai sit down and start to make tea in a smooth and flowing manner, which was very eye-catching.

"Did anyone come to your door before your husband died?"

"This...they don't have the ability." The woman paused for a moment, then resumed her previous appearance, and put the brewed tea in front of Dazai.

Dazai took the teacup, didn't drink it, just smiled at the woman, his eyes revealed what I knew.

"This... about two or three weeks before his death, someone knew the address here from nowhere. When he came back, he just blocked it. When he was taken out, he was still talking about something. You will be punished, I have sent a letter to Lord Youkai, and you will soon..." The woman frowned as if remembering the noisy scene at that time.

"Then, I don't know." The woman picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

"I see, thank you Madam, then I will take my leave." Dazai called Madam, as if he didn't see a trace of disgust in the woman, he bid farewell to the woman, opened the door and walked out of Qingli's house on his own.

"Dazai, how is this place?" Kunikida poked his head out of the car window when he saw Dazai coming out.

Dazai ignored Kunikida, and waited until he got in the car before speaking: "There is a little clue, someone seems to have come to this house before, and they also said that the dead will be punished, and said that a letter was delivered to Lord Youkai."

"Youkai-sama? Do you still believe this?" Kunikida looked at Dazai in disbelief.

"Although it is said to be a monster, it may not be true."

"That's right, then I'll find someone to help check."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Kunikida." Dazai drove Kunikida out of the car with a smile on his face: "It's almost evening, let's go here first."

"Huh? Dazai, what are you doing?" Kunikida was kicked out of the car by Dazai before he could react. He looked back and saw that the car had already started: "Bastard Dazai!!!!"

After Dazai told the driver the location of the back door of the cafe, he took his mobile phone and started sending text messages to whom he didn't know.

Dazai was waiting for a reply to the text message, and from the corner of his eye he saw that the car didn't seem to be moving: "Hi, why is the car not moving? Is it a traffic jam?"

"Hey, yes, I just wanted to tell the guest that this place is very close to the address given by the guest, do you want to get off the bus?"

"Well, I'll get out of the car. I don't know how long the traffic jam will be." Dazai paid the bill, opened the door and got out of the car. He looked around and walked in the direction of the coffee shop.

Dazai was walking, and there was a person walking from the direction of the cafe, and he paused for a while when he saw it from a distance, he seemed a bit like Kurokawa, he thought to himself.

When the two walked in slowly, Dazai realized that it was really Kurokawa, and he called Kurokawa from a distance: "Black~Chuan~"

The person on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, Kurokawa saw Dazai on the opposite side, and before he could walk over, Dazai had already walked over and looked at Kurokawa carrying the garbage bag: "Are you going to throw out the garbage? You can just throw it out the back door Yet?"

"It was originally like this, but it seems that some large pets have appeared nearby recently, and they can rummage through the trash, so I had to throw it in a large trash can." Kurokawa shook the trash bag in his hand.

"Large pets? When did you get them?" Dazai was full of question marks.

"It was said in a post on our commercial street. It seems to have happened not long ago. At the beginning, some people said that they didn't believe it. Later, similar situations happened to several shopkeepers. They couldn't be caught even if they asked the administrator to solve it. It looks like there is no picture of the camera or anything."

"Hmph~ It's so strange."

"It's very strange. Someone in the post also has a store in another commercial street, and a similar situation seems to have happened there. So I know to throw the food waste away."

"Hmm" Dazai thought about what Kurokawa said, and held hands with Kurokawa to throw out the trash together.

"What's the matter, I'm still thinking about it, it doesn't matter, I should be caught soon." Kurokawa led Dazai all the way back home, Dazai was still thinking like that, and called him back to reality.

“Just a coincidence”

"What a coincidence?"

"The commission received by the detective agency is about the same time as this incident."

"It's probably just a coincidence. It's impossible that the person you entrusted to look for is the one who rummaged through the garbage here."

"Don't worry about it, I'm just thinking about it."

"How did you come back today?"

"Take a taxi and get stuck halfway, so I had to get down and walk. Fortunately, the distance is short."

"Are you still going to check around?"

"kindness."

"Then you can drive my car, do you have a driver's license?"

"Of course there is."

Kurokawa handed Dazai the car keys: "Drive carefully, I'm not worried about the car, I'm just worried about what will happen to you."

"Hey, I'll listen to you." Dazai returned to Kurokawa with a smile.
