Canary of the gods

This incident is also strange.

This haunted house was actually a serious hotel at the beginning. The owner who ran the hotel did not know where he heard the news, saying that the government planned to turn this area into a resort.

The boss believed it stupidly, so he renovated the hotel early, dreaming of a full passenger flow in the future.

However, the days passed, and there was not even a shadow in the resort.The hotel is located in a remote place, very few guests are received, and the loss is very serious. The boss has no choice but to transfer the hotel at a low price.

The second boss found another way and directly changed the hotel into a themed haunted house. Because it was originally a hotel, it saved a lot of decoration costs.

At the beginning, the business of the haunted house was not good, but on a rainy night, a group of customers who came back from the suburbs came to this hotel-themed haunted house to avoid the rain.After staying for one night, I found that the project experience was very good. After this group of people went back, they publicized it. Slowly, the business of the haunted house became lively.

Until recently, it was reported that those people were entrusted by the hotel owner, everything was hype, and the experience of the newcomers was indeed not as good as those people said at the beginning, so the business of the haunted house became deserted again.

However, these have nothing to do with the crew. At that time, the director signed the contract with the owner of the haunted house only because the environment and store layout were suitable. As for what promotional methods the owner used to attract business, he was not interested at all.

The haunted house is located in a remote location with inconvenient transportation, and it takes an hour to drive to the nearest homestay.The theme of the haunted house is the hotel, as long as those strange props are removed, the accommodation problem of the staff can be solved.So all the staff of the crew live here at night, even the leading actors are no exception.

But the crew lived here for less than a week, and various situations happened.

At night, the sound of footsteps in the empty room, the flickering black shadows outside the window, the moving decorations in the corridor, the feeling that someone is staring at them... All these things scared the staff in the crew. Suspicious, the dark circles under his eyes are a little heavier.

Hearing the discussion among the crew, the director's assistant—that is, the staff who got the work permits for Ji Yijiu and Dazai Osamu—informed the director about it.

The director didn't believe it at first.

He slept very deeply at night, and his snoring was loud, and he often slept until dawn, and he didn't hear what they said at all.

Until yesterday, he drank too much water before going to bed, got up to go to the bathroom at night, and when he passed by an oil painting hanging on the wall, he suddenly met the eyes of the characters in the oil painting, and saw the person in the painting roll his eyes...

The director fainted on the spot.

So the next day he asked his assistant to find the Armed Detective Agency and asked them to find out the truth.

"It was supposed to be Kunikida-kun and I who came to investigate this matter together." Dazai Osamu said leisurely, "However, the entrustment with Dr. Yosano still needs someone to help, so Kunikida-kun will take care of this matter." It's left to me."

While talking, he sighed, "I thought I could record Kunikida-kun's frightened appearance, but he ran away."

The point of Jiyi Jixiu is not Dazai Osamu's partner who is suspected of being afraid of ghosts, but: "You said that you have already entrusted Dr. Xie Ye, then..."

He glanced at the work card that Osamu Dazai gave him just now, and the name "Yoyano Akiko" was written on it.

A temple cultivator suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and his temples jumped up.

"So you already guessed that I would come dressed like this..."

Osamu Dazai quickly caught a fist that was thrown by a priest, and begged for forgiveness: "Okay, okay, I am short of manpower here, and I really need the help of Mr. Xiu, so I made such a bad move..."

A temple cultivator roared angrily: "I believe you a ghost! If you tell me directly, I won't refuse..."

Having said that, he suddenly stopped talking.

"Oh——" Osamu Dazai dragged out his tone, and his tone sounded particularly flat, "So when I need help in the future, I can directly ask Mr. Xiu...Is that what you mean?"

"..."

Always feel like you've been tricked?

A priest ground his teeth and kicked Dazai Osamu's calf angrily.

Osamu Dazai staggered from his kick and nearly fell down.

When he stabilized his body and raised his head, he saw a monk walking towards a certain direction aggressively and without looking back.

"That... Xiujun?"

Dazai Osamu's hesitant voice came from behind, and Ji Yiyi continued to walk forward without paying any attention to him.

Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, "The crew is over there, you seem to be going the wrong way?"

A temple cultivator: "..."

With a sound of "whoosh", he disappeared in place.

"puff."

Osamu Dazai finally couldn't help laughing out loud, his shoulders trembled and trembled like chaff.

The director's assistant, who had walked a distance, didn't see anyone, and turned back to look for them, only to find that there was only Osamu Dazai who didn't know what he was doing, and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Dazai, where are you and Ms. Yosano?"

Osamu Dazai cleaned up his expression, coughed, and said, "She has something to do, let's go first."

The director's assistant was a little strange, "Is it really okay?" Didn't you say you were going to wait for someone at the foot of the mountain before?Why don't you care about it now?

Osamu Dazai waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, she will catch up later. Let's go, don't worry, maybe she will reach the place before us."

"Oh..." Now that Osamu Dazai had said that, the director's assistant didn't break the casserole and asked the bottom line, and thoughtfully followed his wishes and skipped the topic.

The mountain where the haunted house is located is not high. When Osamu Dazai followed the director's assistant and arrived at the location of the crew on foot, it took more than ten minutes.

The director especially likes to drill around in the crowd, checking various work and details, and he is dressed in gray and inconspicuous, it took a little time for the assistant director to find him.

At that time, the director was squatting on the ground with his back to them, with his head down, not knowing what he was studying.

The director's assistant was about to call Dazai Osamu to go there together, but found that the latter took a step early and walked straight to where the director was.

The director's assistant sighed in his heart, as expected of a member of the Armed Detective Agency, he didn't even have time to introduce who their director was, so he recognized him.

But what the director's assistant didn't know was that Osamu Dazai didn't recognize the client of this mission, but because...

A temple cultivator was squatting next to the director, holding a branch in his hand, he didn't know what he was writing, and his expression was extremely focused.The plain long skirt was dragged on the ground, which was extremely conspicuous.

Osamu Dazai leaned over and patted a priest on the shoulder, "What are you doing? Move me a seat."

A temple cultivator didn't look back, and dropped the branch, and the content he wrote and drew on the ground just now disappeared without a trace.Then he moved to the side, leaving a gap for Dazai Osamu.

Osamu Dazai noticed his movement, and kept it in his mind for the time being. He looked down and found that they were surrounded by a black brick the size of a palm.

It is not accurate to say that it is a black brick, because the surface of the thing is as smooth as wax.It's a bit like a box, but without any connection and opening and closing gaps.

"What is this..."

The director touched the stubble protruding from his chin, his brows were furrowed, and he looked quite confused.

At this time, a bandaged hand stretched out from behind unexpectedly, picked up the strange black brick, and shook it in his hand.

"It's still a little heavy."

"Hey, I said you, don't go about your own business and come here to cause trouble..."

The director was about to get angry, but when he looked up, he saw a strange face instead of a staff member of his own crew.

"You are……?"

"I'm an armed detective..."

Before Osamu Dazai finished speaking, the director squatting on the ground suddenly widened his eyes, jumped up like a flea, and stretched out his hand to cover Osamu Dazai's mouth.

Osamu Dazai: "?"

"Shhhhhhhhh"

Like the spies in the underground joint, the director looked around vigilantly.

The crew members were all busy with their work, and didn't notice any movement on their side.Only then did the director feel relieved, he waved to Osamu Dazai, and pointed to a corner where there was no one nearby, motioning for them to talk over there.

Osamu Dazai turned his head and glanced at a temple next to him, "Xiu...ah no, Akiko, what's going on here?"

One temple repair was going to tell him, but when he heard the name "Jingzi", he turned his head and left.

"..."

Osamu Dazai rubbed his nose, and followed up with bumpy steps, "Then... Xiuzi?"

A mineral water bottle next to him hit the back of his head with a bang.

"oops!"

This movement naturally attracted everyone's attention.

But soon, they withdrew their gazes, as if the scene just now hadn't happened, and they were doing what they were doing without paying any attention.

Osamu Dazai rubbed the back of his head, what else did he want to say, the director had already looked over, so he closed his mouth and walked over in two or three steps.

Judging from the director's reaction just now, he probably didn't want to spread the news about his invitation to the Armed Detective Agency, so Osamu Dazai didn't mention too much this time, and only briefly introduced himself and Ichijo Jishu.

"I'm Dazai, and she's my colleague and Yosano."

The director nodded at them, "I'm Ishinei. There's no need to mention the unnecessary polite words. This time, the two of you are invited here to investigate the so-called 'haunted house' incident."

The so-called...event...

As soon as Osamu Dazai heard what he said, and he was wary of the crew before contacting him, he immediately figured out Director Ishiuchi's thoughts.

"So you think that this incident is actually caused by the crew members making trouble?"

Director Ishiuchi showed surprise on his face. He didn't even disclose this to his assistant. He didn't expect this young man to guess it just by meeting him. It seems that this armed detective agency is really capable.

"That's right."

"I see." Osamu Dazai nodded, "No wonder you didn't agree to my proposal to let you temporarily evacuate the haunted house tonight. If the troublemaker is on the set, not only will you not be able to catch him, but it will even scare the snake away. .”

Director Ishiuchi: "Yes."

He described what had happened in the past few days with Osamu Dazai in detail, and attached what he thought was a problem—in addition to the oil painting in the corridor on the third floor, there was also the black brick that suddenly appeared in his room.

Osamu Dazai pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "I understand, can we go directly to the problematic place to see now? You can just keep busy and don't worry about us."

Director Ishiuchi: "Okay, just don't reveal your identities."

Of course Osamu Dazai was aware of this. He glanced at the work permits hanging on himself and Ichijo Tera, "Hmm... are you an intern in the props team? Let's go, Akiko, let's go and check the props that will be prepared for the shooting later."

A temple cultivator did not respond, and followed silently.

After the two of them had walked a certain distance and reached a place where Director Ishiuchi could not see, Osamu Dazai took out the black brick.

The strange thing is that Director Ishiuchi, who was so curious about this thing just now, seemed to have forgotten about it, and watched them take it away without any reaction.

Osamu Dazai knew that one of the limbs was made by a priest, so he looked at him and said, "You also think there is something wrong with this thing?"

He knew it was wrong because this thing was covered with a layer of supernatural power. After being touched by his human disqualification, a small keyhole appeared on the black brick that had no gaps.

What did the temple master know?

This question was quickly answered.

"The things inside are a bit suspicious." Said a temple.

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai, who had just taken out a wire to unlock the lock, stopped immediately, and he didn't ask how the monk knew about it—probably because he was holding a branch to write and draw on the ground—directly Say, "What's in there?"

A priest pursed his lips, "A kind of white powder."

Dazai's eyes widened slightly.

"I guess... drugs."
