Canary of the gods

"He was shot to death half a year ago?" Sixiu Yiyi was surprised, "Then you mean, he came back to life?"

Osamu Dazai rested his chin and fell into deep thought, "It doesn't rule out that someone pretends to be his identity... In short, there must be something wrong with the identity of 'Ikeuchi'."

Ji Yiyi was so curious that he was about to ask something, but Osamu Dazai gestured to him, indicating that he should make a phone call first.

"By the way, repair the wall by the way." Osamu Dazai pointed to the crack on the wall that was kicked out by a monk.

"……Oh."

Osamu Dazai called the Armed Detective Agency, and it happened to be Kunikida Doppo who answered the phone.

He finished the current situation in a few words, and then asked Kunikida Doppo to help investigate the wanted criminal who was shot and killed half a year ago.

At the request of Osamu Dazai, a temple repairer restored the wall of the rented house that he had destroyed.

Asada, who was tied up tightly and refused to be honest, was wriggling like a caterpillar, trying to get to Rina Mihashi.

Mihashi Rina, who was still in shock, screamed in fright and kept hiding.

Osamu Dazai, who was on the phone, heard the screams and winked at Ji Yiyi. The latter directly knocked Asada unconscious with a knife in his hand, then grabbed him by the back of the collar, and threw him into the corner of the living room like throwing garbage. middle.

"Okay, let's do this first."

Osamu Dazai hung up the phone, and when he turned around, he saw a priest leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

The latter seemed to be very curious about Ikeuchi who had "resurrected from the dead", but for a while he didn't know where to ask.

Osamu Dazai simply started from the beginning.

In Osamu Dazai's impression, the wanted criminal who was shot was supposed to be Koga Hirono, and he was originally a member of the port mafia. He was not high or low, just an ordinary squad leader.

"Port Mafia?" Ji Yiji heard the name from Osamu Dazai again.

Osamu Dazai nodded, and continued: "He planned a bank robbery with a few companions half a year ago, involving one billion yen. This group of people is very cunning. They hijacked two employees of the bank as hostages. The police were concerned about the safety of the hostages, so they did not dare to press too hard. But later, one of the two hostages died and the other was seriously injured. Although the seriously injured man was rescued in time to save his life, he was still permanently disabled."

"Is that why he was wanted..." A temple cultivator pondered for a moment, "Then he was shot and killed, did it happen during the police arrest?"

Osamu Dazai shook his head and said, "No, they escaped from the police with supernatural powers, the guy who shot Koga Hirono..."

I don't know if it's a deliberate trick or something, Dazai Osamu's voice slowed down when he said this, and the priest didn't care too much, and asked impatiently: "Who is it?"

"It's the Port Mafia."

"?!"

A priest was obviously a little surprised by this answer.

"You mean... the port mafia killed one of their own?"

He looked a little confused, "Could it be to kill the donkey?"

Osamu Dazai said, "No, it's dealing with the betrayers."

"Betrayer? You mean, he betrayed the Port Mafia?"

"That's right. The port mafia's method of dealing with traitors is very cruel, and it is also very iconic." Osamu Dazai put his hands in the pockets of his long coat, and said to a temple, "They will let the traitors bite the steps and give them from the back of the head. Hit them hard, break their teeth and jaws, make them suffer, and then shoot them three times in the chest."

"That's how Koga Hirono died. His body was found by a passing homeless man at around [-]:[-] a.m. on the fourth day after the bank robbery."

A temple cultivator gave a "hmm", "In other words, he was indeed dead..."

Osamu Dazai nodded, "That's why I didn't react when I saw Ikeuchi at first. I just thought he was a bit interesting, and I didn't think of him as Koga Hirono. Because according to common sense, a guy who is completely dead won't ..."

Having said that, Osamu Dazai suddenly stopped speaking, and then looked at a temple.

A temple cultivator felt baffled, "What do you see me doing?"

"Well... I just think that you can't talk too much, after all, there is a guy who is beyond common sense in front of me, right?" Osamu Dazai said with a smile.

A temple cultivator couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and kicked his calf to let him get off topic.

"alright."

Osamu Dazai calmed down a little, and continued.

Koga Hirono's body was found in a small alley on Leibo Street. After receiving the call to the police, the police rushed to the scene immediately.

After some investigation, they found that the place where the body was first discovered and the scene of the murder were actually not in the same place, but the two places were not far from each other.

Because they found the steps that should have been used to break Koga Hirono's jaw less than [-] meters away from where the body was found.When it was discovered, there were still dark red blood stains on the steps. After inspection, it was confirmed that it was indeed the blood of Koga Hirono himself.

After conducting an autopsy, the police deduced that the time of Koga Hirono's death was between eleven o'clock the night before and one o'clock in the morning.

There were residents near the steps. Koga Hirono was killed and his body was dumped. It is impossible that there was no movement at all, so the police came to the door to collect evidence and investigate.

but……

"The residents of Leibo Street are a group of slippery old fritters. Compared with the police, they are more afraid of the port mafia that controls the night. So even if the police came to the door, they killed nothing the night before. Hearing or not seeing, the police can’t do anything about them. And it’s not the first time that the port mafia has done something like this, so the murder case ended hastily.”

After hearing this, Jiyi asked a question, "Since Koga Hirono is dead, what about the partners who robbed the bank with him? And where did the one billion yen they robbed go?"

Osamu Dazai raised his fingers, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said mysteriously, "That's the problem."

"what?"

The accomplice who planned the bank robbery with Koga Hirono was not a member of the Port Mafia, and even said that he committed the robbery behind the back of the Port Mafia.

No one knew who his accomplice was, and no one knew why Koga Hirono betrayed the Port Mafia.On the third day after the robbery, he died at the hands of the port mafia, but the whereabouts of his accomplices and the one billion yen they robbed are still unknown.

Some people said that this group of bank robbers had conflicts in the process of distributing benefits. In order to get more shares for themselves, they killed Koga Hirono.And in order to avoid the police's follow-up investigation, they simply disguised the murder as revenge by the port mafia.

It was also said that the port mafia had wiped out this group of bank robbers, and the one billion yen was naturally taken by them.

Of course, some people said that the port mafia only found Koga Hirono, and after he was killed, his partners hid them together with the one billion yen that was robbed.

"These rumors came from Leibo Street. After all, Koga Hirono died in that place, and the bank robbery was quite a big scene at that time, and many people knew about it. But these news are true and false. At the same time, some rumors became untrue when they were passed on, and the source of the rumors could not be traced in the end, so most people basically just listened to it and let it go without getting to the bottom of it.”

"but……"

Osamu Dazai suddenly made a turning point.

"The Supernatural Secret Service Division intervened in this matter. They have a supernatural person who can read other people's memories. After investigating the residents near the place where the Koga Hirono murder case was, they found..."

"The guy who killed Koga Hirono and the guy who dumped his body in the alley are actually two groups of people."

Hearing this, Ji Yiji was a little surprised, and then he quickly thought: "Are these two groups of people the port mafia and Koga Hirono's companions?"

Osamu Dazai nodded, "That's right, it was the Port Mafia who killed Koga Hirono, but the one who threw the body was the accomplice in the bank robbery who appeared after the Port Mafia left. But at that time, the latter put on a disguise, The residents of Leibo Street who saw this scene regarded them as the gangsters of the port mafia who were in charge of disposing of corpses, so they did not speak out about it."

A temple cultivator: "Then how did the people from the Supernatural Secret Service see through their disguise?"

Osamu Dazai: "During the bank robbery, a prisoner had a red mole the size of a grain of rice on his right wrist. This was inadvertently exposed when he was loading the bullet, and it happened to be seen by the surviving hostage. After the latter was rescued and regained consciousness, he provided this clue to the police—of course, this clue has not been disclosed to the public, so not many people know about it. The supernatural powers of the Supernatural Secret Service Division are checking the memories of the residents of Leibo Street At that time, I accidentally discovered that when one of them was carrying Koga Hirono’s body, part of his right wrist was exposed, which happened to allow him to discover the small red mole that was easily overlooked.”

"Well...that's how it is."

Yiyi Sixiu nodded, but he was still puzzled, "But why did they bother? Although they can pretend to be the port mafia without attracting the attention of the police, don't they worry that the port mafia will find them? After all, they There is still one billion yen that was robbed.”

"Well..." Osamu Dazai was about to say something when the notification tone on his mobile phone suddenly rang. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was an email sent to him by Kunikida Doppo.

Osamu Dazai glanced at it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Let's stay in the car and talk about this later."

A temple cultivator: "..."

Ahhhh, this bastard knows how to be tricky! ! !

The conversation between the two was carried out by the window of the living room, and in the bedroom separated by a door, Rina Mihashi didn't know what they talked about.

Mihashi Rina did not expect that the senior she trusted and gradually developed a good impression of was actually the ghost stalker who almost broke her nerves, and his reason for doing so was "I love you so much".

She didn't know how to face him for a moment.

Asada was subdued and passed out, and she called the police again.

Seeing that the two of the Armed Detective Agency had other things to deal with, she didn't want to disturb them either.So after this, Rina Mihashi, who was in a mess in her mind, closed the door and hid in the room alone, without speaking, just sat by the bed and wept silently.

Not long after, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Mihashi Rina thought the police had arrived, but when he opened the door, there were only Dazai Osamu and Ichijijiu.

"Mr. Dazai? Is there anything else?"

When Osamu Dazai saw the red-eyed Rina Mihashi, he was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly took her right hand with a little pity, made her palm face up, and took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket , gently placed in her hand.

"Please wipe away your tears." He said softly, frowning slightly, looking melancholy and sad, "You cry so much that my heart is about to break."

"……"This guy.

Ji Yiji was still spurning Dazai Osamu's rhetoric in his heart, but after a while, when he noticed a small detail, his eyes widened involuntarily.

There happened to be a small red mole on Rina Mihashi's right wrist!

In addition, Ji Yiyi also thought of a sentence that Osamu Dazai mentioned inadvertently before knocking on the door——

"Coincidentally, the one that was robbed at the time seemed to be the bank where Ms. Mitsuhashi works now."
