Canary of the gods

The three of them were in the car, and when they were about to arrive at the residential area where Rina Mihashi lived, Rina Mihashi who was sitting in the back seat suddenly said, "Eh? That's not..."

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at her in the rearview mirror, "Did you see someone you know, Ms. Mihashi?"

Rina Mihashi nodded, "The one in front...is Senior Asada's car."

"Is that the senior who took you to and from get off work recently?"

"Yes."

Mihashi Rina was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't Senior be at work at this time?"

Osamu Dazai smiled slightly, and joked, "Maybe I was worried about you, so I asked for leave on purpose."

Rina Mihashi blushed, and stammered, "No, no way..."

This matter really made Dazai Osamu right.

The two parties parked their cars in the open-air parking lot next to the community one after the other. Asada opened the car door and was about to rush to the residential building when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

"Senior Asada!"

Asada turned his head abruptly, and found that it was Rina Mihashi who he had worried about all morning who called him.

He was relieved at first, and then he noticed that Rina Mihashi got out of a strange car.After her, the one who got out of the car was a tall, long-legged, handsome black-haired man.

Alarm bells rang in my mind instantly.

Almost subconsciously, Asada regarded Osamu Dazai next to Rina Mihashi as his imaginary rival in love, and looked at him vigilantly and carefully.

At this time, another man with dark blue hair came down from the driver's seat. He was about the same height as the black-haired man. He adjusted the mask on his face while walking.

The man with dark blue hair was very keen. Asada's gaze stayed on him for only a few seconds, and the other party suddenly turned his head, like a beast in prey, he quickly locked on to his prey, his eyes were like cold and sharp ice picks Like stabbing over.

The moment the eyes met, for some reason, Asada felt as if he was really being stabbed, and subconsciously chose to avoid it, avoiding the confrontation with the opponent.

However, after he made this move, he immediately regretted it, because he felt that actively dodging meant that he was "losing the wind" and "losing".

"Oh." Osamu Dazai glanced at Shuichi Ichijo, "Xiu, you seem to have frightened Mr. Asada."

A monk snorted and ignored it.

Rina Mihashi trotted to Asada, "Senior Asada, why are you here?"

Asada collected her emotions and explained to her: "You sent a text message this morning saying that you are going to the Armed Detective Agency to solve the problem of being followed, so that I don't have to wait for you... I thought about it and thought that if it wasn't for what happened later If there is something wrong, you should not ask for leave suddenly. So I plan to call you to see if there is anything that needs help. But..." He paused when he said this, "Your phone can't get through, I I was really worried about what happened to you, so I asked for leave and drove here."

"what!"

When it came to the call being unavailable, Rina Mihashi hurriedly took out the phone in her bag, only to realize: "It's out of battery..."

Mihashi Rina was very embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she stammered, "Yes, I'm sorry, Asada-senpai, maybe I didn't notice this when I was in a hurry this morning..."

Asada smiled helplessly, and said softly, "It's okay, as long as you're fine."

Hearing what he said, Mihashi Rina blushed even more.

Osamu Dazai elbowed the next Jishu, winked at him and said, "Look, I'll just say it."

A temple cultivator asked suspiciously: "She didn't disclose this information before, come on, how did you know?"

"Hmph~ You don't know this, do you?" Osamu Dazai triumphantly made a horoscope on his chin, "I am very concerned about women~ Women in love are talking about..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Rina Mihashi not far away.

"Mr. Dazai, Mr. Ichijoji?"

The two looked over together and found that Rina Mihashi and Asada had finished talking.

The two came closer, and Rina Mihashi briefly introduced the identities of the two parties.

After learning that Ichijo Tera and Osamu Dazai are members of the Armed Detective Agency mentioned in Mihashi Rina's phone call, and they came to help investigate the stalker, when Asada faced them again, he lost the feeling of seeing potential rivals before. hostility.

"I'll leave it to the two of you this time." He said to them very solemnly, "Although it's a little rude to say that, please help find out the truth and find out that sneaky stalker!"

Osamu Dazai waved his hands and said with a smile, "Please don't worry."

Before Mihashi Rina and Asada could breathe a sigh of relief, the reliable Dazai Osamu immediately changed his voice when he was replying just now, prolonging his speech, and said in twists and turns: "Did you hear that? Come down and leave it to—you!"

A temple cultivator glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Apparently Osamu Dazai was not satisfied with his reaction, he leaned towards him with a "whoosh" and said with an exaggerated expression: "A ghost-like stalker, it sounds so scary!"

A temple cultivator: "..."

"As long as I think that when we are investigating, he may quietly hide and spy on our every move, I feel creepy, my legs are weak, and I can't even walk well."

Osamu Dazai, who was eager to perform again, covered his forehead and held his heart, frowning slightly, like a small white flower that was being blown by wind and rain, trembling, looking fragile and pitiful.

He wiped away the non-existing tears in the corner of his eyes, exaggeratedly sniffed his nose, and said in a loud and clear voice, "Mr. Xiu will protect me, right? Right!"

Mihashi Rina: "..."

Asada: "..."

Is this person... really reliable?

Ji Yiji took a look at Osamu Dazai, who was full of showmanship, kicked him out unexpectedly, kicked him on all fours, then stepped over him as if nothing had happened, raised his chin at Rina Mihashi, and motioned for her: "Lead the way. "

"...Ah! Good, good!" Mihashi Rina, who was suddenly called, took a while to react, and hurried to the front to lead the way for a temple repair.

Yiyiji Temple was about to take a step forward, but Asada suddenly called him: "Wait a minute, Mr. Yiyiji Temple!"

"Ok?"

Probably because the deterrent force of the previous glance was too strong and left a deep impression on him, so when Ji Yijiu looked over this time, Asada's eyes fell to other places unconsciously, and he didn't dare to meet his gaze at all.

"That, that, can I stay with Rina..." Speaking of this, Asada quickly added: "Don't worry, I will never disturb your investigation, and, if there is a place for me, I will contact you at any time." Anyone can help!"

A temple cultivator nodded and said flatly, "Follow me."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Asada breathed a sigh of relief, and walked ahead of him, walking side by side with Rina Miyashi.

"Hmm... um?" Osamu Dazai rubbed the place where he was kicked, and when he looked back, he found that the three of them had walked a certain distance.He hurriedly got up from the ground, trotted to catch up, still yelling: "Wait for me, how can you leave me alone? Xiujun is too much, if I am attacked by a ghost what to do!"

Rina Mihashi, who was walking in the front, and Asada looked at each other, and they came together with the same idea: Fortunately, the partner with him is more reliable.

However, what they never expected was that among the two, the one they thought was reliable was actually a rookie who had not yet become an official member; on the contrary, the one who was full of drama and noisy was the big brother who had solved many difficult cases. guy.

A group of four walked to the elevator room, and the elevator happened to reach the first floor.

The elevator door opened, and a tall man wearing a fisherman's hat, dressed in black, and dragging a half-person tall suitcase stepped out of it.

The man looked gloomy, his cheeks were so thin and deeply sunken, his skin had a sickly paleness that had not seen the sun for a long time, his eyes were severely blackened, and he looked like he didn't usually rest well.

"Ah, Mr. Ikeuchi, are you going out again?"

Rina Mihashi obviously knew the man who had just come out of the elevator and greeted him.

But the man who was called Chinei didn't give her any response at all, as if he didn't hear or see, he dragged the suitcase and continued to walk out without looking.

Asada frowned, looking unhappy, "What's wrong with this man?"

Rina Mihashi didn't feel embarrassed, she was probably used to it, and even explained to Asada: "Mr. Ikeuchi is relatively withdrawn and doesn't like to talk, so don't worry too much about it."

The rumble of the suitcase rollers echoed in the corridor, and the second sound could not be heard for a while.

There is a threshold at the gate on the first floor, which is not high, and you can directly drag your suitcase over without having to lift it up to cross it.

When Chi Nei dragged the suitcase across the small threshold, probably because of the drag angle, the left pulley of the suitcase touched the threshold first, and then the right side of the suitcase directly tilted up.

Chi Nei didn't look back, and he dragged the suitcase sideways out of the door. After walking a certain distance in the open space outside, he turned his hand slightly and let the roller on the right fall to the ground.

From the beginning to the end, he looked very relaxed, and he couldn't see the slightest effort.

The whole process was very short. If Osamu Dazai hadn't been staring at Ikeuchi's leaving back, he probably wouldn't have noticed this small detail.

"Mr. Dazai?"

Hearing the call, Osamu Dazai turned his gaze away and saw that the three priests had already entered the elevator, and they were waiting for him to enter now.

"Come here~"

Osamu Dazai stepped into the elevator briskly, and Rina Mihashi let go of his hand and let the elevator door close.

"By the way, Ms. Mihashi, you just mentioned 'going out again'...does Mr. Ikeuchi often go out with his suitcase like this?"

Rina Mihashi was taken aback, apparently he did not expect Osamu Dazai to be interested in Mr. Ikeuchi.

But she still answered the question: "Yes, I have met about four times in a month since I moved here. The neighbor's mother-in-law who lives on the same floor as us said that Mr. Chiuchi's hometown is in the countryside, and every month basically He will go back once or twice. But I heard that his mother has been ill recently, so he will go back more frequently this month than before."

"Hmm... If you're just going back to your hometown in the countryside, why do you bring such a big suitcase?"

Mihashi Rina said: "I heard that they brought health care products and nourishing medicines for my mother... But I heard these from my neighbor's mother-in-law, so I'm not very clear..."

Osamu Dazai nodded, smiled and said, "Okay, I see~"

Are you going back to your hometown in the countryside to visit your seriously ill mother...
