Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

The fact that Dazai found this store before him, Shiraki had already guessed in his heart, so it was not surprising.

For the past two days, Shiraki has also been thinking about a question, how did Osamu Dazai get inspiration from him, and then restarted the investigation on the life trajectory of his long-lost friend, thus uncovering this shop?

If it is calculated from the time when Osamu Dazai's attitude changed significantly, something went wrong around the day he released Osamu Dazai from the refrigerator.

Shiraki went through the details in his mind, and there seemed to be nothing else in the refrigerator except for the curry he had left over to make.

So far, we can only take one step at a time.Shiraki just regretted his negligence. If he had been more careful and sensitive when he was 13 years old to investigate the last activities of Oda Saku during his lifetime, would he not have left an opportunity here today?

"The gentleman who came to visit yesterday and was wearing a bandage was wearing a group photo." The handsome Mr. Richard in front of him, with a gloomy expression, became serious, "He also Asked about the same deal, asking if the person I bought from here was the customer in the photo."

Shiraki looked up at Richard.

"But don't worry, I think my performance should not show any flaws. I have traveled to many places and met some people over the years, and this is not the first time I have encountered similar emergencies."

There was a refined sophistication about the foreigner, his outward emotions well controlled, and he was a man of mature intelligence.

Bai Mu thought that after recovering his face just now, this stranger who had never met him actually called out his name accurately. The possibility of anticipation in his heart couldn't help but become a little more eager, so he asked: "Do you know my name?" name?"

Richard nodded without hesitation and said, "Four years ago, Mr. Oda confirmed to me by phone that he had bought a gemstone jewelry, saying that he would give it to you as a birthday present."

Bai Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"I haven't been able to find you all these years. And... I never called Oda-san again."

This transparent Richard did not recklessly ask Shiraki about Oda Sakunosuke's recent situation, he just looked at Shiraki with an apologetic face, "I have been to your high school three times, but I have never been able to find you. I found your name on the school's honor roll and remembered your appearance through photos, but I'm very sorry, we didn't really meet until today."

Richard put on a pair of white gloves and got up from the sofa, "I am also very happy to see you here today. This birthday present, which has been stored with me for four years, is finally returned today. The original owner."

Turning around, he went to the warehouse where the gemstones were locked. Not long after he entered, he came out dragging a tray covered with brocade.

Shiraki, who was sitting on the sofa, had a very upright posture. From the moment Richard walked out of the gem vault, his eyes locked on the tray in the owner's hand.

The visitor, who came to visit without an appointment, looked very nervous at this moment. Although Mingming was not very old, he was quiet and steady beyond his age, and even faintly revealed a sadness that was difficult to ignore.

Richard sighed in his heart, and placed this gift that could not be conveyed to the master before Bai Mu.

Shiraki just glanced at it and couldn't move his eyes away.

This is a bright and clear blue gemstone without a trace of flocculent impurities. It lies quietly on the white silk and satin, like a pool of clear lake water that has been magically solidified in the world, shining transparent light from every cut surface.

It seems that if you look at it for a while, this gemstone can absorb the soul. This charming blue, once it enters the eyes, it will never come out again.

"Tourmaline, the scientific name of tourmaline, has collection value when it reaches the purity of glass luster. It is also called tourmaline. Because its composition contains iron, manganese, chromium, vanadium and other elements, tourmaline can present a variety of charming and dazzling colors."

Richard's voice introduced unhurriedly: "The color of this piece is bright electric blue, produced in Paraiba, Brazil, containing copper elements that are rare in tourmalines, and is affected by the local geographical environment. , showing an extremely clear blue-green tone, known as the 'Paraiba' tourmaline, which has a rare color and purity in the world, and is the most precious and rare species of tourmaline."

"I met Mr. Oda four years ago." Richard's beautiful blue eyes showed a touch of nostalgia, "That was the first time I came to Japan. By chance, I met Oda in Yokohama. My husband had a relationship... Later we met again in Tokyo, and I couldn't help but sigh how wonderful the fate between people is, and I even invited him to drink tea to reminisce about the old days."

The studio was extremely quiet, Shiraki held his breath, and quietly listened to Richard's gentle voice flowing in the room, "I happened to accept this tourmaline that day, and Mr. Oda was right next to him, when he saw this tourmaline When buying precious stones, he said that there is a smart kid in his family who would definitely like this blue color."

Richard, who is an expert on this trip, said wanly: "But this kind of gemstone is as clear as lake water, and the price is expensive. Mr. Oda told me... Besides that one child, there are a lot of children in his family to raise." , I like it very much, but unfortunately I can’t buy it.”

Shiraki listened very carefully without blinking his eyes, but at this moment, there was a knocking sound outside the house that didn't sound like a regular knock on the door, "People inside, open the door!"

The door that was attacked by violence made creepy vibrations and noises. Faced with such a situation, the gem shop assistant named Justice subconsciously turned his help-seeking eyes to the shop owner Richard.

"...Isn't it over yet? Justice, call the police." Richard said with a dark face, "Although I have been reminded by yesterday's guests that there are dangerous armed men staring at us nearby, but I did not Thinking that they are really running for this gem... No, if they wanted the gem, they could have snatched it long ago. They are here for the person who can take this gem. Mr. Nasu, their goal is you .”

The Japanese assistant who worked in the gem shop nervously took out his mobile phone, but just when the alarm hotline was connected, there was a strange sound of the door lock automatically opening.

The anti-theft door, which was clearly closed, disarmed the line of defense by itself, and the outermost door was pulled open vigorously.

The dangerous elements outside have already broken through the defense line of the anti-theft door. The door inside is not defensive and can be easily broken into.

But the expected bad situation did not happen.As soon as the people inside heard the door open, all the noise outside the house stopped abruptly.

No one broke in.

Shiraki's back was very straight, his sitting posture was different from before, and his eyes widened somewhat strangely.

He didn't seem to do anything, but everything suddenly quiet outside the door seemed extremely strange and abrupt.

There was no sound in the room, and Zheng Zheng, who had connected to the police, was so dazed that he didn't know what to say to the policeman on the other end of the phone.

It was because Bai Mu quietly activated the ability.

The active attack method derived from "material reconstruction" was dubbed "game transfer" by Shiraki. He can use supernatural powers to cut off a whole space and treat it as a huge "substance" within a certain range. Game data moves as fast as migration.

No living person in this world even knows that he can directly decompose this huge "space matter" in this process through the first supernatural principle of "reconstructing matter".

At the same time of decomposition, all life in the space is cut at the atomic level, which will be crushed into dust within a few seconds, and the ashes of all the ashes inside will be thrown away in an instant.

Because he has been concealing the diversity of his ability application methods, no one would have thought that an inconspicuous auxiliary rebuilder would have such unpredictable and unpredictable active attack methods. In just a few seconds, he can cause Devastating blow.

The transfer location anchored by Shiraki was an unoccupied underground warehouse a block away.

When he completed the "substance transfer" just now, his ability expanded to an astonishing extent from strength to physical space in an instant. After completing this task, he was immediately taken back by Shiraki as if saving energy.

More than a dozen armed men were trapped in the basement. Bai Mu didn't kill the intruding armed men immediately. He needed to know who was behind it. The moment the monitoring was destroyed, he did not hesitate to attack immediately.

The people in the gem shop here had no way of knowing what really happened. Zheng Zheng took a kitchen knife from the kitchen and suddenly opened the door, only to find that there was really no one outside.

The flustering noise just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Shiraki exhaled a hot breath with a faint smell of blood, and showed a formulaic smile, "Probably just a misunderstanding, Mr. Richard, please continue."

Richard looked outside the door and then at Shiraki, obviously very puzzled, but he suppressed his doubts and continued the topic just now: "I just said... yes, Mr. Oda didn't I planned to buy this tourmaline, but what I didn’t expect was that after about three months, Mr. Oda suddenly contacted me, uncharacteristically bought this gemstone, and asked me to go to your school in person. It will be given to you after your interview."

Richard was wearing gloves, and his slender fingers were crossed in front of the table, "My assistant, Zheng Zheng, went to Yokohama with a mobile POS machine to complete the transaction with Mr. Oda, and I took the gems and went there as agreed I attended the overseas famous school interview meeting you attended, but after the meeting ended... I couldn’t find you, and I went to your school later, but I couldn’t find out where you went. This gift, just like this Set aside."

Bai Mu took a deep and slow breath, trying to calm down his emotions.

All the timings were right. When I participated in the interview, it was precisely because I realized something was wrong in the middle of the interview. I left the field in a hurry before the interview was over and returned to Yokohama overnight.

But I didn't expect to miss Richard who came to the venue half an hour later.

And this birthday gift that should have been handed over to him finally found its owner after four years.

"The electric blue tourmaline symbolizes the clarity and purity of the ocean and blue sky, and condenses the vastness and tolerance of all things in silence."

When talking about the meaning of gemstones, Richard looked serious, without a hint of joking, "The damage suffered in the past will eventually recover slowly in the sun. Paraiba tourmaline, as soft as water, will bring you Come to the peace of the soul. Bless the wearer to form a new emotional bond after opening the closed heart."

Richard never asked about the whereabouts of Oda Saku, but his beautiful eyes conveyed the warmth of concern, "I think, Mr. Oda must hope that you will become as good as this gem, I am very happy I'm glad to be able to return it to its original owner today, please accept it."

After the tourmaline was processed, it was inlaid in the center of a simple and elegant pendant. Shiraki sat stiffly for a long time before picking up the tourmaline pendant with both hands and bringing it around his neck.

The crystal clear and pure water blue heart was carefully placed by him at the place closest to his heart, and he ironed it with the temperature of blood from under the skin.

Seeing that the tourmaline was finally found, Richard seemed to have settled his mind, and even his face relaxed, and said, "No one knows which gemstone Ms. Oda bought, except me. I will buy it." Hiding in the gem vault, with all the gems, is the most confusing decision."

Shiraki keenly understood the implication of this sentence, and sure enough Richard stood up and said solemnly: "But I must apologize to you, almost three years ago, my gem shop was invaded... At that time, None of the gems were stolen, but only a letter that I hid in the vault was lost. Although I reported to the police, the police were unable to find anything in the end. "

The owner of the gem shop bowed to Shiraki according to Japanese etiquette, "The only thing stolen in the shop is a letter from Mr. Oda."

Bai Mu was stunned.

"Since Zhengyi brought this handwritten letter back from Yokohama, it has been stored in the safe in our store. He originally wanted to bring it to you along with the gems, but he didn't expect..." Richard looked full of regret, "We It has never been unpacked, but it was lost in our store’s custody. We are very sorry. The only thing we can do is to protect the gems that Mr. Oda left you, and convey his last thoughts to you completely .”

Assistant Zheng Zheng looked at Richard, and quickly stood beside him, bowing together to express his apology.

Before bowing his head, he glanced at Shiraki's open eyes... for some reason, just looking at it made him feel sad from the bottom of his heart.

It made him feel even more guilty.Presumably this letter must be very important to this guest.

Bai Mu slowly came back to his senses, and also bowed and apologized to Richard, "...Thank you very much. You are willing to hide this gem for many years even though you know it is risky, and you personally handed it over to me today. I am the one who should be sorry. I failed to detect the message he left me earlier, missed the opportunity in vain, and brought danger to you. Please allow me to express my sincerest apology."

Richard bluntly said: "It's our fault. Seeing you so sad, I feel very guilty."

"Can I ask you two things?" Bai Mu bowed deeply without looking up, "Please don't tell anyone else the news that I've been here...including the police. Please pretend that you don't know me at all. Nasu Shiraki's people, and because of the long time, please gradually forget about this guest named 'Oda'. For the safety of the two of you, I will elucidate the relationship between the two of you suspicion and put you in a coma."

Bai Mu said calmly: "I will pretend to steal and invade, and take away some gems at random. All the gems I take will be settled through a Scottish bank account at the market price with interest, and will be remitted in British pounds or euros in installments within the next six months. Thank you very much..."

Richard was indeed not an ordinary person, he promised very straightforwardly, and his attitude could even be said to be calm, "Understood, we will cooperate..."

But the moment Richard looked up and saw Shiraki's eyes clearly, he showed a look of surprise, "Mr. Nasu, are you in good health?"

Shiraki saw his bloodshot left pupil through the water surface of the teacup.

This was still within his expectations, Bai Mu was very calm, "There is no problem."

jewelryétrange, closed all day today.

After the shopkeeper and shop assistant inside were "under attack" and fell into a coma, the nearby monitoring clearly showed that only one Mexican international friend, Ms. Angelina, came out of the shop majestically wearing sunglasses.

He then proceeded to the basement warehouse on the next block.

The warehouse in the basement was empty, only a human-shaped ripple was revealed on the wall.

During the "game transfer", Shiraki transferred all the people into the concrete wall, exposing only two nostrils for them to breathe, and sealed their struggling limbs and voices in the thick cement.

Such shackles are very debilitating, because they are deprived of all hearing, vision and mobility. Fear is the fastest weapon that can destroy people's defenses. Baimu has no mercy for them.

These people only wear hot weapons like guns and incendiary bombs, and they don't seem to have supernatural powers. They don't know whether they have overestimated themselves or underestimated Bai Mu, a mysterious person who came to attack this time. guest.

No matter what kind of letter Oda Saku left him, the content of the letter must have touched the nerves of some people.

Bai Mu knew very well that the possibility of recovering this letter in his lifetime was extremely slim, but if he could deduce the purpose of this person by tracing the identity of the man behind the series of events, maybe he would have a chance to know who was arrested. Deleted truth.

After half an hour of interrogation, Bai Mu stood in the middle of the underground warehouse with blood on his hands.

... The result of the interrogation was too disappointing for him.

These people were actually just a hired armed mercenary team, and even after the leader collapsed, they still failed to provide any useful information for Bai Mu.

Bai Mu tried several times to confirm that he did not dare to hide anything, and the murderous intention became more and more difficult to suppress.

After leaving from Jewelryétrange, he felt an unrelieved suppressed rage in his heart, and he wanted to set fire to the basement, so that all traces would disappear together.

In this way, no one can know that this supernatural being who easily counter-kills also possesses supernatural powers in the sense of physical space, Bai Mu immediately thought of a plan to disguise his supernatural power type.

He extracted a small amount of hydrogen atoms in the air, trapped them in the air in the closed space created by Shiraki, provided heat through the material transformation of oxygen, continued high-temperature heating, forced the atomic nuclei and electrons to separate, and created plasma.

He is going to use his supernatural powers to directly obtain local materials, create a nuclear fusion, destroy all the walls that seal people in this basement, and reduce them to ashes together with the people inside.

The air is getting hotter.

Those with only their noses exposed seemed to sense that the end was approaching, and they breathed quickly because of fear, but they couldn't even utter a whimper.

The overwhelming heat burned his skin, but in such a hot environment, Shiraki suddenly felt the crystal clear tourmaline on his heart emitting bursts of cool low temperature.

Bai Mu looked down.

The words of gem merchant Richard seemed to be still in his ears.

Clear and pure, broad and inclusive, as flexible and majestic as water.May you become as good as a gem.

... Is this what Odasaku expected of himself?

In the air distorted by the heat, the electric light blue still bloomed with a gentle cold light, Bai Mu looked at it for a while, and finally restrained the killing intent in his heart.

This is a red line. He has swam several times before, but today is the closest to crossing the line.He thought of the man who would not kill even if he became a mafia, and finally forced himself to calm down.

Although there is a danger of revealing his own information if he keeps his mouth alive, but the voice he used in the interrogation just now was indistinguishable, and matched with Angelina's image, it should... also have a misleading effect.

Shiraki lifted everyone out of the wall in disgust, restored the wall to its original state, and then released the heat from the air. Immediately, the clothes and weapons on the attackers melted on their skin, and the high temperature instantly caused serious injuries.

Amidst the flames and wailing all over the floor, Bai Mutou walked out of the underground warehouse without looking back. He saw that there were already police cars heading in the direction of Jewelryétrange, and he knew that he would be able to follow Angelina to find this area soon after following the surveillance. .

With his head down, he quickly entered the nearby food court, erased his traces in the crowd, and performed a second disguise of changing his identity.

After 15 minutes, he returned to his original face.Because he has no strength, he needs to rebuild his face again.

But this... is enough to escape from Angelina's identity smoothly, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion.

The chocolate-skinned, curly-haired Mexican professional woman transformed into an Asian-faced girl holding a Chinese passport.

No one could connect these two completely different races and identities so quickly.

Shiraki carefully washed his hands in the women's toilet in the food court, opened the pre-prepared non-prescription contact lenses, and brought them into his eyes in an inexperienced manner.

The pupils that were congested due to excessive use of abilities were covered by black contact lenses.The black, which now looks like ordinary people, will never attract attention.

His next step is to buy the latest flight to Hakata, and at the airport in Hakata, he will reclaim his "Nasu Shiraki" identity, which matches the record of entering and leaving the city.

He thought his hair was blocking his eyes, so he tied his long black hair into two buns. With a beautiful blue handbag on his arm and an oiled paper umbrella, he walked out of the food court.

He was going to the nearest parking spot shown on the map, and went straight to the airport, avoiding contact with more people.

But as soon as he walked to the street, he realized that this look was actually not good.

He should have let his hair down.Because everyone on the road is looking at him, both men and women.

Fortunately, the taxi parking spot is not far away from the bridge, and he can already see it.Bai Mu quickened his pace, grabbing the cloak that had slipped from his shoulders.

It's just that he didn't expect that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the more chaotic it was, the more likely new chaos would arise.

By the time he walked to the bridge and saw a person who was absolutely impossible to appear in Tokyo coming towards him, it was already too late, and retreating was no longer a feasible option.

The bandaged man with one arm still hanging stopped on the bridge, his iris-colored eyes slowly widened in surprise, and his eyes were glued to his body.

Shiraki opened the oil-paper umbrella with a snap.

But even if he covered his face, he couldn't hide his curvaceous blue and white porcelain cheongsam with a white background.

...the slits open up to the thighs.
