Canary of the gods

After discovering the red mole on Rina Mihashi's wrist, a priest frowned unconsciously, full of doubts in his heart.

Did Osamu Dazai notice it?Or he had noticed it a long time ago, but now he is paying attention to something else?

He pursed his lips and looked up at Osamu Dazai—the latter was coaxing Mihashi Rina sweetly, trying to make her happy. His behavior was no different from when Mihashi Rina first came to the Armed Detective Agency for help, and his face was even brighter. I can't see the slightest difference.

Ji Yiji was so curious that he scratched his heart and liver. For a moment, he even wanted to knock open Dazai Osamu's head to see what he was thinking.

It is not impossible for a temple to read other people's inner thoughts like his bamboo horse, but the key is that Dazai Osamu himself is not affected by supernatural powers.Even if a temple master can read other people's hearts, he can't read Osamu Dazai's thoughts.

Ugh!

He is really curious...

"Please don't do this..."

Rina Mihashi withdrew her hand in embarrassment. Ever since she learned that Osamu Dazai might have a sweetheart "Akiko", she has become immune to Osamu Dazai's rhetoric.

Seeing her resistance and no longer immersed in negative emotions, Osamu Dazai naturally did not insist, and directly explained his reason for coming.

"Neighbor's mother-in-law?"

Rina Mihashi looked at Osamu Dazai with some puzzlement, wondering why he suddenly became interested in the neighbor next door.Then she thought of Osamu Dazai's curiosity about Mr. Ikeuchi in the elevator before, and said, "Could it be that you want to ask the neighbor's mother-in-law about Mr. Ikeuchi?"

Osamu Dazai nodded with a smile, and said, "I always feel a little concerned. That Mr. Ikeuchi is a bit like someone I knew before, so I was wondering if he might be a relative of that person or something."

"Relatives?" Mihashi Rina was a little puzzled, "But I heard from the neighbor's mother-in-law that Mr. Ikeuchi grew up with his mother, so he doesn't have any relatives that he visits often?"

"Oh, to be honest." Osamu Dazai sighed, and began to make up stories in a serious manner.

"The gentleman I know had a bad fate and was trafficked to Yokohama when he was very young. Later, the police took over the den of the traffickers and rescued their abducted children. But he was too young at that time, He had no memory of his home address, so the police put him in an orphanage."

"However, a few years later, a group of gang desperadoes broke into the welfare institution and brutally killed the children and staff in the orphanage. And he was sneaked out of the dog hole in the backyard by the dean's mother. I pushed it out, and escaped unharmed."

"He wandered alone, suffered a lot and suffered a lot. Finally, he grew up through bumps and bumps. He worked hard in society alone, started a little business, fell down again and again, and got up again and again."

"It's been more than ten years since his turn, and his business has gradually flourished. He has made some money and bought bigger and bigger houses. But what's the use of buying a big house? Every day when he goes home, he is deserted. Alone, really lonely..."

The life experience of the protagonist of the story is too miserable, and the tone of Dazai Osamu's storytelling is so contagious that Rina Mihashi listened to it unconsciously.

"Later, he came up with the idea of ​​looking for his relatives, so he came to the detective agency and entrusted us with help. But there was an unforeseen event, and before we could find his relatives, he died in a car accident."

"Ah?!" Mihashi Rina suddenly heard the ending, and couldn't help covering her mouth, showing her unbearable expression, "That's too pitiful..."

Osamu Dazai beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Yes!"

Almost followed the letter of the temple cultivator: "..."

"This person also left a legacy and a will. It is stated in the will that he entrusted a detective agency to find his relatives on his behalf. If we find his relatives, then we will leave his entire estate to his relatives."

Rina Mihashi thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Then what if I can't find it all the time?"

As soon as the words fell, she seemed to think that this sentence might misunderstand Osamu Dazai, and hurriedly added an explanation: "I don't mean to question the capabilities of the Armed Detective Agency, Mr. Dazai, you are all very good..."

Osamu Dazai waved his hands with a clear face, and said: "I understand what Miss Mihashi means. In fact, we ourselves have such doubts. After all, that gentleman has been separated from his relatives for many years, and when he was kidnapped, he was young and young." He is too young, and his memory of his relatives is very vague. In the final analysis, even he himself has no clues, so for this commission, we actually didn't have much expectation from the beginning."

After hearing what Osamu Dazai said, Mihashi Rina's mood was extremely complicated.

She glanced at Mr. Asada who was lying in the corner of the living room, and suddenly felt that this matter was nothing.She even questioned herself, didn't she just meet a pervert, as for being sad like this?

There are many people in this world who are far more unfortunate than her.Just like the client Osamu Dazai said, is he devastated because of his suffering and misfortune?No!

The road is long and difficult, even if she falls in this pit, she can't be depressed for too long, she should pack up quickly and start again!After all, no one can know how many accidents and surprises are waiting for her on the road of life.So why was she wasting time on a small stumbling block?

"...?"

Ji Yiji looked at Rina Mihashi who suddenly cheered up, as if a raging flame was burning behind him, looked at Osamu Dazai with some puzzlement, as if asking: What's wrong with her?

Osamu Dazai shrugged with a smile, and mouthed to him: Who knows.

A temple cultivator: "..." To be honest, he didn't quite believe it.

But if he doesn't believe it, there's nothing he can do about it.

Osamu Dazai coughed and continued the previous topic.

"Of course, that gentleman also set a time limit. If we still can't find his relatives within half a year, then all his inheritance will be donated to welfare institutions."

Mihashi Rina nodded, "I see..."

Osamu Dazai added: "For the past six months, we have been working hard to find his relatives. Seeing that the deadline is approaching, we still have no clues."

Mihashi Rina suddenly realized, "That's why you care so much when you see Mr. Ikeuchi who looks similar to that gentleman."

Osamu Dazai sighed quietly, with a melancholy expression on his face, "Yes, if he is really a relative of the client, then we will hand over the client's estate to him according to the will, which is also an account for the client who has passed away. After all He worked so hard during his lifetime, but if such a little wish can't be fulfilled... Sigh!"

Mihashi Rina cheered up, with a serious expression on his face, "Mr. Dazai, don't worry, although I don't know much about Mr. Ikeuchi, we can ask the neighbor's mother-in-law! The mother-in-law has always been very enthusiastic. If I know about this, I will definitely Tell us everything she knows! Why don't we go now?"

Osamu Dazai hesitated and said, "But..."

Mihashi Rina asked puzzledly, "What's the matter, Mr. Dazai? Is there any embarrassment?"

Osamu Dazai nodded lightly, "Actually, it's not easy to publicize this matter, after all, Mr. Client has left a lot of inheritance..."

Even though there were no outsiders around, he still looked around, put on a posture that was afraid of being overheard by others, and quietly said to Mihashi Rina: "I will not hide the truth from Miss Mihashi, in fact, the client After Mr. passed away, many people found out through various means that we were helping him find his relatives. Up to now, no less than ten groups of people have come to the detective agency, trying to pretend to be the client's relatives and defraud him of his property!"

Mihashi Rina was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible.After all, there are a lot of greedy and lazy guys in this world who want to get something for nothing, so she quickly accepted the reason given by Osamu Dazai.

"Well, although I haven't been with Ms. Mihashi for a long time, I am a very good judge of people and know that you are a trustworthy person, so I told you about this without any concealment." Osamu Dazai looked at Mihashi Hashirina's eyes were full of trust, as if she was confiding in her heart.

Niton Mihashi felt pressure doubled, and at the same time, she also had an inexplicable sense of justice and mission, as if she would regret it for a long time if she didn't help the Armed Detective Agency to complete this commission.

After all, the client's story is too embarrassing, and the ending is even more embarrassing.If his last wish still cannot be realized, it will be like watching an unsatisfactory tragedy movie. There seems to be a piece missing in his heart, and it will always make people think about it afterwards.

Rina Mihashi said solemnly: "I know Mr. Dazai's concerns. My mother-in-law is a warm-hearted and good person. Although she will actively cooperate with us after knowing this matter, there is a high possibility of accidentally leaking the news. And we can't do it yet. Determine whether Mr. Chi Nei is the relative of Mr. Client, if it is okay, everyone is happy, if not... I am afraid that it will cause trouble!"

Osamu Dazai looked excited, wiped away the tears that did not exist in the corner of his eyes, and said with emotion: "Miss Mihashi is really understanding and smart!"

That's fine, Osamu Dazai didn't know what was wrong, so he brought out "Akiko" and stomped it: "If Akiko is like you, I will be satisfied!"

A temple cultivator who has almost formed a conditioned reflex to the name "Jingzi": "..."

Not long after Osamu Dazai and Rina Mihashi reached a united front, the police who had received the alarm call earlier came to the door.

At this time, Rina Mihashi had already packed up her emotions and makeup, and told the police about the whole process in a graceful and clear manner.

Ji Yiji and Dazai Osamu stood not far from them and talked.

"The bait has been put down, and the neighbor's mother-in-law is going to startle the snake, so Miss Sanqiao will contact us on our behalf."

Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets and said in a relaxed tone.

A priest was a little surprised, "You still doubt the neighbor's mother-in-law?"

Osamu Dazai's focus is different, "'yet'? Who do you think I should suspect?"

A priest fell silent for a moment. Could it be that this guy was so busy hooking up girls just now that he didn't notice the red mole on Mitsuhashi Rina's wrist at all?

Osamu Dazai pouted when he didn't get a response, and said in his usual coquettish tone, "Does Xiu-kun speak ill of me in his heart?"

A temple cultivator nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Osamu Dazai: "..." Then you are really frank?
