Canary of the gods

Rina Mihashi sorted out her emotions, took a deep breath and said, "Probably because I saw that my mental state is not good recently, a senior at work came to ask me what was going on, and I told him about it." .”

In the residential area where Rina Mihashi rents a house, there are two roads to reach the bank.

One is a large road with a constant flow of people coming and going, and the other is an alleyway with few pedestrians.In order to save time, Rina Mihashi usually walks on small paths, and it takes about ten minutes to walk to the bank where she works.

And when her senior drove to and from get off work on weekdays, he happened to pass by the residential area where she lived.

I heard that Mihashi Rina suspected that someone was following her recently, but after she couldn't find that person, Mihashi Rina's senior boldly proposed to pick her up and drop off during this time to see what was going on. "

Osamu Dazai sighed faintly, draped it weakly on the shoulder of a priest, and said in a low voice, sadly: "The famous flower has an owner..."

A question mark popped up on the head of a priest, "How did you see that?" Mihashi Rina didn't reveal any sign of this at all in his words, couldn't it be an ordinary relationship between junior and senior?

Osamu Dazai: "Want to know?"

A temple repair nodded.

Osamu Dazai waved his hand, motioning for him to come over with his ear.

A temple repair to do so.

Then, Osamu Dazai covered his mouth with one hand, and said in that twisted tone: "No-tell-tell-you~"

"Snapped"

A vein popped out of a priest's forehead, he grabbed Osamu Dazai by the collar, and was about to throw him out.

"Cough." Kunikida Doppo coughed, glanced sideways at the two of them, and warned, "Don't make trouble."

"..." Ji Yiyi snorted, let go of his hand, and moved to the side, not letting Dazai rely on him.

Osamu Dazai rubbed his nose, retracted his hand and stuffed it into the pocket of his long coat.

The three continued to focus on Rina Mihashi.

"It's been like this for about a week, and the feeling of being with you is gone. Until last night..." Speaking of this, Rina Mihashi seemed to have thought of something terrible, and the hands that were clasped together began to tremble uncontrollably again .

"I woke up from my sleep in a daze, and suddenly heard 'click click', like the sound of scissors cutting something, very close and very clear, as if it was right next to my ear..."

This time, Rina Mihashi didn't continue to pretend to be asleep, and directly lifted the quilt.

Her movements were a bit large, so she really felt that when her arm swung out, she caught something, right next to her pillow!

Then I heard a "click", as if a metal object fell to the floor.

She quickly turned on the light, grabbed the utility knife on the bedside table, and pushed out the sharp blade, reflecting a dazzling cold light under the light.

"Who?!"

She looked around for a week, just like half a month ago, she still didn't find any suspicious guy in the room.

So she carefully walked around to the other side of the bed with a knife—that is, the place where she had photographed things just now, and then she was shocked to find that a pair of scissors had fallen on the floor there. Pinch of long black hair.

Mihashi Rina subconsciously looked at the dressing mirror next to her. There was indeed a small piece of hair cut off around her ear, and the cut was even and abrupt.

After that, Mihashi Rina didn't dare to lie back and continue sleeping like last time.

She called the police and carefully checked the doors and windows and found that the locks were well locked and showed no signs of being picked or vandalized.

For some reason, she took a second look at the window frame.She wiped off the handprint last time long ago, and now there is no new mark left there, it is clean and there is nothing.

In the end, she sat on the edge of the bed blankly holding her mobile phone and a utility knife, looking at the lock of hair and scissors that fell on the ground, lost in thought.

After the police arrived, they carefully checked the pair of scissors left at the scene.

But that guy was obviously very careful, and didn't leave any traces of fingerprints on the scissors.

At this point, everyone in the Armed Detective Agency has almost figured it out.

"So... is it a person with supernatural abilities?"

Mihashi Rina nodded, "That's what the police said."

"In addition, I also heard the name of your detective agency from one of the police officers. He said that if you usually encounter a troublesome person with supernatural powers like this, and they can't carry out the investigation normally, they will usually entrust you Come help."

"So I directly asked the police officer for your contact number and address, asked for leave from the bank, and decided to come to your door for help."

After Mihashi Rina sent the police away, the sky had already brightened.

After she finished washing, she changed her clothes again, and looked at herself in the mirror—to be precise, it should be the very unsightly lock of broken hair.With a cruel heart, she picked up the scissors, cut her waist-length hair short, and went out with her bag.

As soon as Mihashi Rina opened the door of the house, a small piece of paper suddenly fell from the air.Before that, it seemed to be stuck in the crack of her door.

She picked up the little piece of paper and found that it said——

【Let's go to hell together, Rina】

The whole sentence was written in red ink, and a heart and a smiling face were drawn at the end of the sentence, but Rina Mihashi didn't find it cute at all after reading it, only felt bloody and terrifying.

Not only Mihashi Rina thought so, but everyone in the Armed Detective Agency who had read this note also thought so.

"I really can't take it anymore!" Mihashi Rina covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes, "If this continues, I'm going crazy! Please help me!"

"Don't worry, we will help you find a way to solve this problem." The Tanizaki brothers and sisters took turns to appease Rina Mihashi.

"A ghost-like stalker..." Osamu Dazai rubbed his chin, glanced at a temple next to him, then looked at Kunikida Doppo, and said to the latter, "Otherwise it's just this?"

Kunikida Doppo quickly understood what Osamu Dazai meant.He was planning to make this case of the ghost stalker into an entrance examination for temple cultivators.

Although the newcomers of their detective agency basically come here in this way, considering the special ability of Ichijiji Temple, Kunikida Doppo had to confirm with him again: "Is there nothing wrong?"

Members of the Armed Detective Agency are required to undergo an entrance examination, and newcomers who have not passed the entrance examination cannot be entered as investigators. That is to say, newcomers at this stage cannot be regarded as official members of the Armed Detective Agency.

And their president's supernatural ability of "the superiority of others is not created" can only affect the members of the club, so Kunikida Doppo is worried that Ichijiu's supernatural ability will get out of control and cause irreversible consequences.

Osamu Dazai said solemnly: "I'm watching, don't worry. Didn't the previous haunted house be solved smoothly?"

"..." So it is true.

Kunikida Doppo finally nodded, "Alright then, I'll leave it to you."

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "Okay~"

"???"

A temple cultivator who was sandwiched between the two looked around, and had no idea what kind of riddle they were playing.

But soon, Osamu Dazai turned his attention away.

He stretched out his arm and put it on the shoulder of a priest, "Come on, Xiu, this is your first commission to join the detective agency~"

"Ok?"

A priest blinked his eyes, obviously surprised.

Did you assign him a task so quickly and let him participate in the official commission?There is no observation period for running errands?

...But speaking of which, apart from Dazai Osamu, who is not affected, no one dares to let him run errands at all, right?

Rina Mihashi has already explained the reason for the commission, and the armed detective agency will arrange the investigation next.

"This commission will be handed over to Dazai and Xiu."

Kunikida crossed his arms and folded his chest, and entrusted this time with a single sentence.

The Tanizaki brothers and sisters naturally had no objection.

Mihashi Rina looked at him with red eyes, "Excuse me..."

Osamu Dazai raised his hand and said briskly, "I am Dazai, and the one next to me is Xiu. You can also call him Ijoji."

Mihashi Rina looked at Dazai Osamu, and then at Ichijo Temple.

The former is full of smiles, making people feel like a spring breeze; the latter has a dull expression, as if he is in a world of ice and snow.

Looking at the two people with completely opposite personalities, the only thing they have in common is...

Tall and handsome.

"Thank you."

Dazai Osamu replied with a smile: "Where is it, didn't I say it? It is our honor to relieve the worries of beautiful women."

After accepting the commission, Osamu Dazai proposed to go to Mihashi Rina's house to take a look.Although Rina Mihashi and the police did not find anything abnormal after searching, they are not people with supernatural powers, and they may have missed some key information.

Naturally, Rina Mihashi had the same plan, but before leaving, she went to the bathroom first.She cried several times before, and the makeup on her face was all washed out. She needs to tidy up a little.

Tanizaki Naomi took her to the bathroom, and the only ones left in the office were Ichijo Teraji, Dazai Osamu and others.

"Why is it so troublesome?" One Jijiu looked at Osamu Dazai puzzled, "As long as you tell me..."

"Would you be able to solve this case by telling you 'write down the criminal's name'?" Osamu Dazai put his hands in the pockets of his long coat and looked back at him, "But speaking of it, last time you used this method, are you sure there are drugs hidden in the black box?"

A temple cultivator nodded, stretched out his finger and ticked it in mid-air, and the pen on the desk floated into his hand.

Junichiro Tanizaki and Doppo Kunikida looked at his actions in surprise and curiosity. The former asked doubtfully, "Can you really write the criminal's name?"

A temple cultivator nodded: "It's a very easy thing."

However, before he could unscrew the pen, Osamu Dazai grabbed his hand holding the pen.

"Xiu." He said, "Don't be lazy, if you know the prisoner's name in advance, it's like watching a TV show and being spoiled."

A temple thought about it for a while, and it was right.

Osamu Dazai also said: "It's the same as solving the haunted house drug case last time, the process of uncovering the truth bit by bit, must be more interesting than watching TV dramas."

"But..." A temple cultivator slightly frowned, "At least there was a big reveal at the end of the TV series. You didn't tell me many details about the last case."

"Oh, isn't it?" Osamu Dazai blinked innocently, and said plainly, "Then how about repairing yourself to investigate this time?"

"..." A temple cultivator thought about it seriously.

Osamu Dazai quickly added fire: "Of course, I won't let it go. If there is a bottleneck in the investigation, I will remind you in time."

A temple cultivator retorted subconsciously: "Who wants you to remind me, I don't need you to care..."

Osamu Dazai: "Yes, Xiu alone can solve this case, right?"

A priest snorted, "Of course."

Osamu Dazai happily pushed a temple out, "Let's go, Xiu should drive here, right?"

"Ah? Um..."

"..." Kunikida Doppo covered his forehead, "That bastard Dazai... what is he going to do?"

Tanizaki Junichiro said: "After all, it is an admission test. If Mr. Ichijoji only uses his special ability to 'make a wish', he can solve the case at once, but it will not be easy...Mr. Dazai must have considered this point."

The corner of Kunikida Doppo's mouth twitched, "That's what it should be. I mean, that guy must be thinking of something else."

"Probably... maybe..." Junichiro Tanizaki actually had the same premonition.Besides, their new colleague, who looked at Gao Leng, seemed... pretty easy to fool?
