Living in Yokohama

Junichiro Tanizaki looked at Shirasaki with cold sweat on his face as he threw the random step higher and higher. Just when he was about to touch the ceiling, Shirasaki stopped and threw the random step with regret. back on the chair.

The cat she had raised for a period of time liked to cling to her very much, and would often pounce on her face from a high place, and then slip down to rub her hand... Thinking of this, Shirasaki subconsciously glanced at Edogawa Ranpo in the Smooth hair on the outside.

Luanbu took the snacks next to him, raised his chin slightly and pointed in the direction: "There are cats over there."

Bai Qi looked over subconsciously, and saw a cat squatting beside the table not far away.

"...!!!" Baisaki was shocked, "Does the detective agency have cats!" She has never been rua since she joined the job!Lost loss!

"Ah, it's the cat raised by Clerk Haruno." Tanizaki Junichiro explained, "But occasionally he stays at the detective agency."

Shirasaki walked over cautiously, but before reaching out his hand, the cat nimbly jumped to the other side, it stood on the cabinet, stretched out its paws and licked its fur gracefully.

"...?" Shirasaki tilted her head slightly, with a little confusion in her eyes.

When she was close to the cat just now, the way the cat looked at her made her feel a little weird.

I can't say what it feels like, but if I have to say it, it's like being scrutinized by Osamu Dazai for the first time.

...It's not exactly the same, but the inexplicable feeling of "being seen through" is the same.

Shirasaki looked at the three-flowered cat on the cabinet, then she looked away, and confirmed it with Tanizaki Junichiro very calmly and casually: "I haven't seen it in the detective agency for so many days, how long has Haruno raised this cat?" ah?"

"Eh?" Tanizaki Junichiro thought for a while, a little embarrassed, "I don't know about it, but I raised it before I came to the detective agency, and Naomi often mentioned it."

"Hmm... ah, Tanizaki, can you come here?" Shirasaki waved, and although Tanizaki Junichiro didn't know what was going on, he still responded and walked towards Shirasaki.

Shirasaki raised his hand and tapped Tanizaki's hair, then slid his hand down, and at the same time confirmed again: "Did you keep it before you came?"

Tanizaki Junichiro shrank subconsciously because of her movements, and his expression was a little unnatural: "Hey? Uh, um, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, look, scraps of paper." Shirasaki spread out her hand, and a small piece of crumpled paper appeared in her hand. Tanizaki Junichiro touched his hair subconsciously, as if he was relieved.

"I didn't even notice...thanks."

Shirasaki responded, glanced at the cat, and put down his vigilance for the time being.

It seems that the information "Clerk Haruno's cat has been raised for a long time" is not a memory forced into Tanizaki's brain by some psychic power user, which means that this cat is indeed Haruno's domestic cat.

...then there should be no problem.

At this time, Kunikida and the others also returned to the detective agency.

"Ahbai? You guys are back already," Kunikida pulled out the chair and sat down, turning on the computer at the same time, "I couldn't find you just now."

Yosano Akiko also said, "Tanizaki came back very quickly."

"Could it be because you want to see me soon~" Naomi leaned against Tanizaki Junichiro, with an ambiguous tone, "Brother is so cute."

Bai Qi held back, but this time she couldn't hold back, she asked in a low voice: "Are these two... are biological brothers and sisters?"

Kunikida adjusted his glasses, with a calm expression on his face: "They are indeed brothers and sisters, and this is how we usually get along with each other, just get used to it."

Shirasaki: ...

... I don't think so at first glance, but when I think about it carefully, there are quite a lot of weird people in the detective agency, although she herself is one of the weird ones.

"Yes, I see." Shirasaki glanced at Yosano Akiko and nodded.

Although being close to siblings...but it's someone else's family matter after all, Shirasaki doesn't intend to express any opinions.

Putting aside the matter of the Tanizaki brothers and sisters, Shirasaki and Yosano chatted about the scene after she left.

"Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Nakahara Chuya from the port mafia are here today," Shirasaki asked, "What do the military and police say?"

"Because there happened to be a company on the bank street where the port mafia did business, so they came here in the name of inspection," recalled Yosano Akiko, "Although there was a big commotion, it was thanks to the solution. In Central Plains, the military and police have nothing to say."

Noticing Shirasaki's expression, Yosano Akiko asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Bai Qi took a breath slowly, and said calmly, "I just feel that something is not right."

It's been a long time since I felt that something was wrong.

It's not something wrong that can be seen at a glance, but a subtle feeling that something is wrong due to the complicated things in front of you under the blessing of intuition.

For example, every time Osamu Dazai wanted to trap her, he didn't just dig a trap and wait for her to fall, but set up several seemingly disconnected traps that would explode one after another once stepped on, making you dizzy In a blink of an eye, I don't know where I stepped into the trap.

Shirasaki nodded her lips, reviewed the recent events, and locked on a target.

A member of the unknown port mafia who analyzes information for Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

"Speaking of which, are the people who attacked the detective agency this morning members of the port mafia?" Bai Saki seemed to suddenly remember, and she asked, "Look at their clothes."

"Well, they are indeed members of the Port Mafia. It's not the first time they have attacked a detective agency, and they are confident every time...the result is only trouble for us and our neighbors." Kunikida complained.

The "companion" of the magic hat, a member of the port mafia, an unknown intelligence agent.

... There is still too little information. After all, it is not easy to find information about the port mafia, and she has not cultivated a stable source of information.

Kunikida raised his head suddenly: "Speaking of which, where is Dazai?"

"When I went to the coffee shop, I yelled and wanted to drink a glass of wine and walked away." Tanizaki Junichiro recalled.

"——! That guy! He's going to throw his job at me again!"
