Complete Survival Manual

Chapter 68 3-Party Talks

Tsushima didn't wait for Dazai Osamu's next words.

The tall young man stood against the light, his true emotions gathered in the superficial silence.

He only started with "you" before stopping his voice, Tsushima frowned, seeing Dazai's calm smile of refusal to pry.

So Tsushima easily gave up the inquiry.

Perhaps this can be called considerate, and it is almost impossible for a person who lives in the world under the name of Osamu Dazai to confide in his heart.Judging from Tsushima's experience, no matter which Dazai he is, he always keeps things firmly in his heart and allows all kinds of things to slowly rot in his heart.

Insisting on digging down is tantamount to tearing his skin open, exposing his weak soul to the light.

[So be it. ]

Tsushima thought so, and changed the subject lightly.

"I will go to Kyoto in a week." He said, "One week is enough time for the news of the tripartite peace talks to spread. They have plans for the 'book', and they will never give up this opportunity."

Smart people always believe too much in themselves, even if the opportunity seems like a trap, they will not pass up.

Osamu Dazai: "Tsushima."

There was nothing in his voice, as if he was simply calling his name.

"Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky." Tsushima tilted his head, "He is currently hiding in Yokohama, waiting for the next day when the white whale will fall."

"Dazai, this is Yokohama."

Here are your friends who have died and the reasons why you are alive and working for the detective agency day after day.

Although the "gift" brought back fully explained the subsequent incidents, everything seemed to be resolved satisfactorily.But if possible, he wanted to eliminate the hidden dangers brought by Dostoevsky first.

In this way, even if there are organizations such as the Clock Tower Attendant watching over the follow-up, Yokohama, who has won the time to prepare, will be fearless.

"There are other ways." Osamu Dazai said, "If you think about this kind of thing, there are countless options to choose from."

Tsushima: "So, among these options, which one would you choose?"

Osamu Dazai fell silent, refusing to answer the question.

"Come and help me, Dazai." Tsushima seemed to think for a while, and finally said this sentence.

Osamu Dazai's mood is obviously a bit complicated.

Tsushima laughed, "Nothing will happen."

……

The three forces that maintain the stability of Yokohama have been in frequent contact in a short period of time. In terms of "books", everyone has an amazing tacit understanding.

The ritual temptation did not last long, and the day when the three parties gathered came quickly.

The fixed address was changed several times, and finally several parties reached a consensus and chose a cruise ship.

The deck is open, and everything that may appear on the sea can be seen at a glance.

There were not many people coming from the armed detective agency. Fukuzawa Yukichi brought Osamu Dazai and Doppo Kunikida with him. Tsushima followed Osamu Dazai as a matter of course. He even thought about studying the anti-gravity belt on Osamu Dazai's windbreaker, and then went on the boat. Didn't even look at it.

Kunikida Doppo hesitated to speak several times, as if he was worried that he bumped into some strange place.

Osamu Dazai saw Kunikida's worry first, "Kunikida is worrying uselessly again, if this continues, maybe your hairline will recede early." He carefully observed Kunikida Doppo's hair top , affirmed, "Compared to before, there has indeed been a slight change~"

His tone couldn't be more sincere, if the ending sound hadn't been mentioned lightly, maybe it could add a little more credibility to his words.

But in fact, this is Osamu Dazai's way of speaking on weekdays. Kunikida Doppo is very used to hearing words that seem to be true and false. For a while, Osamu Dazai's words really made Kunikida touch the top of his hair.

[The recent hair loss seems to be a bit serious. ]

——People who can grow long hair will more or less pay more attention to their hair, and Kunikida is no exception.

"Daily maintenance is very important, Kunikida-kun!" Osamu Dazai gave an example, "Mr. Mori, whom we will meet later, is a negative teaching material. Mr. Mori's hairline used to be very high. And Mr. Tanada, who Can you imagine that the former farming chief also had thick hair...Tsushima?"

Tsushima tried to pull the belt on Dazai's trench coat. The decorative fabric was soft to the touch, nothing special.

Tsushima: "I just want to see the difference." After he finished speaking, he looked at Kunikida Doppo, and made a friendly suggestion, "It is indeed better to take care of your hair from now on. Kunikida-kun's hair is glossy and smooth. The temperature is very good, if you can take good care of it, you should try to take care of it.”

After all, there may be many incidents that are easy to make people bald.

Kunikida Doppo, as the conscience of the detective agency, can only worry more and not less.

Originally, Kunikida Doppo's whole thoughts were focused on the following conversation, but in the end, Dazai Osamu and Tsushima's words made him think a little bit astray.

There was a round table at the scheduled meeting place, and three high-backed chairs were placed equidistantly, one of which was already occupied.

"Armed Detective Agency, Fukuzawa Yukichi." The black-haired port mafia leader smiled, and Chuya Nakahara stood behind him, and the orange-haired cadres looked at each other as if they couldn't hear anything.

Fukuzawa Yukichi took his seat, "Port Mafia, Mori Ogai."

This is the long-lost meeting of the two opposing parties. There are not all conflicts between the people who represent their respective organizations here. Just hunting the "tiger" a period of time in advance has accumulated new conflicts between the two sides.

The loss of the port mafia was not small, Akutagawa Ryunosuke even manually blew up a mafia cargo ship.As for the Armed Detective Agency, it almost lost the lives of its main members.

If it wasn't about the "book", they wouldn't sit here restrained just because the matter hadn't passed yet, they just stabbed at each other calmly.

Kunikida Doppo's body was tense, and the notebook in his pocket was placed where he could take it out at any time.Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of sharpness.

The atmosphere is on fire.

The leaders on both sides probably observed each other for a while to confirm something, and they restrained their momentum at the same time.

"Meet you again, Your Highness Fukuzawa." Mori Ogai said, "Jiu Shu greets you, but you haven't changed much."

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "It's been a long time, Dr. Mori."

The change in the way of greeting between the two made the subordinates of both sides put down their sword-ridden momentum.

Osamu Dazai stood quietly at the back with a calm expression.Tsushima could guess that he might not be in a good mood now.

The Supernatural Secret Service Division is long overdue.

"You two came early, but I was late."

Gengtian Shantouhuo has a heroic aura. Although he is in charge of the Supernatural Secret Service Section, he himself has a bit of bravery.But it would be a big mistake to look at him purely as a martial artist.

After removing certain traits in appearance and character, Tanda Shantouhuo also has the cunning of a politician.As the "farming chief" in the Supernatural Secret Service Division, he can't be an ignorant person who doesn't understand anything.

This is a tough character.

His entry virtually announced the start of the talks.

Ango Sakaguchi, who came with Taneda Santouhi, intentionally suppressed his sense of existence, pushed his glasses until he needed to speak, and said sternly, "I believe everyone knows what is going to be discussed in this meeting. , we here hope that Tsushima-kun can roughly describe what happened to him."

"What did you see in the rumored 'different world'?"

Ango Sakaguchi used honorifics, and everyone was cautious about matters related to "books".

Tsushima laughed.

"It was an unforgettable and wonderful experience."

The narration begins.

……

In the beginning, Enoda just clicked on the keyboard as usual, and communicated with clients via the Internet.His speed is very fast, the ten fingers moving quickly on the keyboard seem to be playing some complicated piano music, the flexibility is so high that afterimages can be seen.

As a well-known hacker and intelligence dealer in the Hakata area, Enoda's technology is top-notch.He used to be a member of an overseas hacker group. After returning to Japan to develop in Fukuoka in recent years, there are many people who want to make a deal with him with money.

He's been very busy recently, maybe it's the peak season for doing business.

Not long after, there were murmurs between lovers in the suite next door to enhance their relationship.

But it's not really a whisper. The sound insulation of the box in this internet cafe is not bad, and the sound can reach him, which only shows that the voices of this couple are really too loud.

[Nowadays, couples like to express intimacy by shouting at close range? ]

Enokida tugged on his collar, and seriously considered finding a pair of earphones for himself.

According to his experience, the next door will soon... Well, it is already in progress.

"Home plate...why don't you play baseball in such a hurry? I've never been in a relationship." Adhering to his professional ethics during work, Enoda curled his lips and picked up the headphones, begging for some peace and quiet.

When he completed a commission and was about to get some coke outside the suite, someone approached the door.

The man with messy hair pushed open the door and was obviously a little surprised when he saw Enoir in the suite, "It's rare that you haven't changed your location recently. Miroir's environment is pretty good."

"It just happened to be here today." Enoda took off the earphones, "Mr. Baba, what can I do for you?"

"I really want your help with something." Zenji Baba searched all over his body, and then took out a note from the pocket of his worn jeans.

"I picked this up from the door when I went out today, so I want to ask, is this a large-scale commission?"

"Wow." Enoda took the note, "It's very rare to offer a huge reward even in Fukuoka."

Zenji Baba nodded in agreement, "Although he runs a detective agency, it's the first time I've seen such a large amount of money. I don't know who he is going to kill."

"But it's a coincidence, Mr. Baba, that you came at just the right time."

"what?"

"I mean, if you come a quarter of an hour earlier, I have to check the news on this note. If you come a quarter of an hour late, I'm afraid you can get the detailed information wherever you go." Enoda tapped the note with her fingers , "This will soon become something that can be seen everywhere, Mr. Baba. You guessed it right, it is a large-scale commission, and the person behind the money spent a lot of money, just want to buy the above person."

Zenji Baba made a surprised expression.

"It's so generous. It said that if you catch a live job, the reward will be increased by a quarter of the original basis." Enoda operated the computer a few times, and turned his body sideways to show Baba Zenji, "This time the commission The target is only one person, but it is aimed at all the killers in Fukuoka."

"The well-known organizations in Fukuoka have basically received online commissions, and scattered detectives have received this kind of small note. This time, the client doesn't care about anything except the target."

"Shuji Tsushima." Baba read out the name from the information, thoughtfully, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the personal entrustment."

"His information is not easy to find." Enoda said, "This person named Tsushima has done a good job of blocking his own information. He should have hired professional hackers to do regular maintenance. Even I couldn't find too much information." Lots of things."

"In any case, thank you, Enoda." Zenji Baba thanked Enoda for his help.

"I thought you'd plunged into some trouble again." Enoda shrugged and put on the fluorescent yellow coat, "Lin asked me to drink coffee, and we just happened to go together."

Zenji Baba paused when he was about to pay the reward.

"Lin sauce treats you to coffee???"

Enoda: "It's not surprising, is it?" He changed his shoes and walked out first, "The environment here is not suitable for working now, or later..."

"Wait, tell me why Lin Jiang invited you to drink coffee first!"

"Because we played baseball together last time, we hit it off pretty well."

"Just because of baseball?!"

"Mr. Baba...don't grab my shoulder with such force."

……

Ihara Eri caught Ueno Dazhi who was at work.

"Ueno, I have something I want to check."

Ueno Daichi, who could be called being dragged all the way here, sat very upright in front of the computer assigned to him by the office alone. He looked at Eri Ihara, "Next time you can just speak directly."

"You need to exercise." Eri Ihara supported his forehead, "Although you are positioned as an intelligence officer, you still need basic physical strength. Otherwise, you won't be able to react quickly if something happens."

Ueno Dazhi: "...Okay."

In fact, his physical fitness and reaction speed are still acceptable.

After all, he had been on the battlefield as a young soldier before, and his extreme talents might win him the title of genius, but he couldn't save his life.

Under the supervision of his former partner, he really exercised for a while.

But when he didn't realize it at all, he was picked up by Ihara Eri.

[Vice President Ihara is not easy...] He couldn't hold back, and glanced at Eri Ihara again.

"I would like to know the details about the reward offered by the president." Eri Ihara thought for a while, and gave a limited condition, "It's only about the Mitsui family."

In the past few days, Chief Maruyama really called the office in the name of commissioning.

In the past few years, the business of the firm was indeed mostly in the dark, liaising for Mitsui and the police headquarters in Kyoto.This is not the case in recent years, and the firm has gradually become a purely neutral institution.

The police headquarters even introduced newcomers who had worked in the police system to join the firm. This attitude undoubtedly dissatisfied the Mitsui family.

"What the president wants to do, Mitsui is not qualified to manage."

What Mitsui thinks Tsushima should do has a strange and funny color in the eyes of Eri Ihara.

She didn't know much about this before, so she also helped Mitsui Naoki who lowered his profile.To put it now...

Ihara Eri, who didn't put Mitsui on the top of the office at all, snorted and said, "Ueno, check, who in the Mitsui family has contributed to the bounty. I can't intervene in what the president wants to do. but……"

But she can take care of those bad "housework" for the president.

Isn't that what some bastard president who plans something alone needs.

"I see, vice president, leave it to me." Ueno Dazhi had no problem, and started typing on the keyboard neatly.

A few minutes later, the computer refreshed the content, and the few photos that appeared on the display made Eri Ihara sneer.

"It looks familiar."

Dazhi Ueno: "I am an opponent of Mitsui's current Patriarch."

Eri Ihara: "There are still people behind them, let's check."

The Mitsui branch and the main family are completely different concepts, daring to blatantly contribute to the reward can only mean that the main family has made a move.

"My family..." Ueno Dazhi thought for a while, and clicked on several video materials, "There are new managers in several places in our family, and there is one person that you should be interested in."

"Just yesterday, she went to see Chief Maruyama."

"Her?" Eri Ihara frowned, seeing in the black and white picture, a person got out of the black car parked at the police gate, and then walked into the police building.

"After investigation, she should be Mitsui Koyuki, the younger sister of the current Patriarch." Daichi Ueno moved his finger, and the information about Mitsui Koyuki opened in the upper left corner of the screen.

Eri Ihara didn't read the information immediately. She stared at the time displayed on the bottom right of the video, always feeling that she had overlooked something.

"This video is a camera installed on the street?"

"It's a privately installed camera at the entrance of a wagashi store." Ueno Dazhi said, "Although this store is not directly facing the police station, the camera is well located, and it happens to be able to record in front of the gate."

"Time, time..."

Eri Ihara suddenly took out her work mobile phone, frowning and looking through the call records.

Officer Maruyama's call records were still there yesterday, and Eri Ihara compared the time, and found that the time difference between Mitsui Koyuki and Mitsui Koyuki arriving at the police station was only half an hour.

"...When did Mitsui Koyuki leave?"

"In about two hours."

"Chief Maruyama called the office when Koyuki Mitsui was still at the police department?" Eri Ihara's expression became strange, and she tried her best to recall what Chief Maruyama said.

It's not difficult, Eri Ihara quickly remembered what Chief Maruyama said on the phone.

After going out to talk politely, the key point is actually only one sentence.

["I trust the firm unconditionally."]

"Trust the office..." Eri Ihara whispered, "What does Chief Maruyama want to do?"

Serious illness of the patriarch, Mitsui Naoki as the heir, Mitsui Koyuki's sudden appearance, Chief Maruyama's call...

"Is he... expressing his attitude?"

After all, it is the person who handles the work of the office with full authority. Eri Ihara knows a lot about the affairs of Mitsui's family.

She couldn't hold back her thoughts at all, and a line of bold characters inevitably jumped out of her heart.

[The battle of the head of the family. ]

[It's, it's not always Naoki Mitsui who wants to secure the position of the next patriarch, but some people want to support the president as the patriarch, right?Chief Maruyama's attitude means that the official has chosen the president? ! ]

[But the president...]

Anyone can see that Tsushima doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Mitsui family at all!

Eri Ihara thought it was impossible intellectually, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that everything was right.

She clenched her phone tightly, feeling that she was too difficult.

As a former killer and now a social animal, why make it difficult for her to use her brain again and again? !

"Sure enough, I should call the president first..."

Let's leave this kind of matter to the president himself.

The author has something to say: today's achievement: typed out Mr. Tuo's name in one breath!I didn't take it to check! (Suddenly proud.jpg)

By the way, I also want to try pulling the anti-gravity belt 23333

This can be regarded as a special product of Wenye.

……

Consciously clean up and maintain information for Tsushima on a regular basis. By the way, Dazai's is also done well. Junior. Ueno Dazhi: The president is super powerful, and vice president Eri!The president usually pays attention to this aspect, and didn't leave much on the Internet before the sweeping, as expected of the president!

……

Who is the worst social animal in the full text, please say her name out loud!

Ihara Eri: ...
