Takei Ayanokoji's Tool Man Guide

Junichiro Tanizaki was dismissed because he didn't want to be known as a member of Hong Kong gangsters.In my impression, I didn't think Osamu Dazai would be such a fragile person, so weak that he couldn't let anyone know his past.

When I met Osamu Dazai, it was four years ago that Hong Kong gangsters tortured internal undercover agents.But the other party will not have this memory, and I will not say it myself.There's so much to explain about what he might think "I know him well" - "I've seen him by accident somewhere", "I've heard him by someone's mouth", " I confronted him in a certain organization" and other excuses are too many.

Anyway, he couldn't find evidence that I was lying.

Back to the matter in front of me, at this moment, Osamu Dazai's way of speaking is already rhythmic.

"Are you from Hong Kong and Heilongjiang? Just tell me, yes or no, that's fine."

Why do I need to answer this question?

If he thinks I am, then please find the answer and evidence to prove that I am, and then let the Butei Club reject me from joining the club; if the evidence he finds is "no", it is his own problem.

Why do I have to confess?Save him time and energy?

Next, will he really believe what I say?If I exchanged positions with him, I would not believe a word from him.

"What Mr. Dazai wants to say, you can say it directly. You don't need to beat around the bush, waste each other's time." I rubbed the corner of the table with my fingertips, and entered the state of thinking.

"Ayanokouji-san is really cautious."

Osamu Dazai seemed to be sitting in front of me. I could even imagine him sitting on his swivel chair and talking on the phone leisurely, trying to throw out questions that caught me off guard.

"I found a lot of blueprints for criminal plans at the crime base this afternoon—hey, what's the name, um, the Port Central Building, the first of which is "Destroy Buteisha completely."In fact, many of the original documents have been deleted, but it is said that our Queen's intelligence agent, Taguchi Rokuzo, can restore the documents, so I saw the photo of you working with King Sou there. "

Osamu Dazai asked random questions almost illogically, as if he said whatever came to his mind, without purpose at all.However, when I heard that Taguchi Rokuzo had seen that photo, my heart also became colder.

"In addition to this incident, there is another interesting thing that happened here. For example, when Taguchi-kun saw your photo, he was very panicked, and his mental state has been offline. Logically speaking, he should not know you. ?”

"Student Ayanokōji, tell me what kind of role you played in this whole incident. According to Tanizaki, Mr. Ranpo has already told you about the assessment. If you can't answer this question properly, even if you and this It has nothing to do with it, and you can't join the Butei Club."

"The most important thing is-"

I can almost imagine him pointing up his fingers, showing a gesture of taking everything into his own hands.I immediately mobilized the intelligence investigation of Buteisha in my head. It stands to reason that there should be nothing I don't know.

Including the character assessment, I have actually heard about it through other channels, so I will make a series of arrangements.

"There is a rule in our agency - if you guess my former occupation correctly, you can get a bonus of 70 yen. Don't you want this money?"

……

Is this guy just here to tease me?

"As you said, I was indeed one of the participants in the Cangqi terrorist incident two years ago."

Osamu Dazai's voice was full of thought, and said: "So, when you came to the Butei Club that day, it was not for an interview, but for other things? After all, you are already a member of a certain organization, so come to participate Isn’t the interview weird? I always thought you were waiting for an opportunity to join the company, but now that you didn’t come here for the interview, everything makes sense.

Thinking about your action of hiding the file, I thought you might be a little shy at first, but now, do you really know what "shy" means? "

"What do you mean?"

"That is, knowing who I am and knowing who you are, your attitude is still so calm and unmoved, and you don't take the conversation just now seriously at all. It seems that you have no shame at all. heart?"

This guy is changing concepts secretly again, talking nonsense.

I don't think it is necessary to be patient and tell him clearly what happened.

"Sorry, I want to hang up. I will turn myself in to the people from Buteisha, and ask them to relay it to you."

Sure enough, it was impossible to talk to him calmly.

I was about to hang up the phone when Osamu Dazai's last words, "Do you really need to be protected for three weeks, won't it be too long?..." was just snuffed out.

I don't know what Dazai is trying to say.

Before Tanizaki went back to the room, I asked him to take Ranpo Edogawa, who was at the self-service snack vending machine downstairs, back to the room.Because the room is covered with tatami mats, it is natural for me to kneel and sit.

I explained the process very clearly, including what Edogawa noticed about my input method yesterday.

During the Cangqi terrorist incident two years ago, I contacted Cangwang as an arms dealer.So this explains why I have pictures of working with King Cang.Two years ago, I was misunderstood as an interview at the Butei Club, but in fact I wanted to provide a series of details of the ammunition ordered by King Cang.

I first provided weapons to King Cang before I learned about his subsequent Cang Banner terrorist incident.Later, I met Taguchi Rokuzo, the criminal policeman who died in the condolence incident.Knowing that he has no father or mother, I started to contact him and offered to help him.

"If you don't use a word to define it, it would be "atonement".But now that Taguchi knows that I have provided Cangqi with ammunition, I am afraid that the relationship will be completely broken. "

"I'm not saying this to prove my innocence. On the contrary, I'm not a good person." I said flatly, "In the end, I didn't provide the details of the weapons for self-protection. After all, the other party is an outlaw lunatic, and I'm unarmed. And seeing how observant the members are, maybe I don't have to do it."

"It's not easy for you." Tanizaki patted my shoulder, trying to comfort my emotions.

Should I say that I am from Buteisha?

Hearing that I was engaged in arms trafficking, he didn't care at all, only heard my last sentence.Or have my speaking skills improved?Is this the effect of association?

"Today, two years later, I realized that the Cangqi remnant party had started activities again. In order to avoid its sharp edge and be treated as a scapegoat, I came to Fuyuki City. Of course, the best situation is that I have bodyguards by my side."

Tanizaki Junichiro has been following my train of thought: "No wonder you are in a hurry to come to Fuyuki City."

Edogawa didn't say a word the whole time, and looked at me with a sullen face.

"Do you have any questions?" I asked Edogawa Michi back.

Edogawa Ranpo seemed to be waiting for me to ask a question. He raised his hands high as if he was making a big circle, or holding a big ball, and said angrily, "Of course! There are a lot of questions!!"

As soon as those words fell, alarm bells went off in my heart.

Edogawa's thinking is the type that I can't even catch up with now. He is too unrestrained and unpredictable, and he is often good at hitting the nail on the head without showing mercy.

"So, if there hadn't been the Cangqi incident, you wouldn't have joined the Butei Club?"

This question is beyond my imagination.I subconsciously glanced at Tanizaki, I didn't know what answer Edogawa Ranpo wanted.

"According to logic, if there is no Cangqi incident, I have no reason to join Buteisha. If I want to join, why should I wait two years from now?"

Although I am a bit obsessive-compulsive, every time I act, I feel that I must have a very clear logic of action.I don't think I can convince myself just by saying "because I want to do something."

"...I will definitely not let you join the Butei Club!" Edogawa Ranpo stood up and protested to me.

"..."

"No, if you don't want to join the Butei Club, then I must let you join the Butei Club!!!"

"........."

"No, I hate you so much, I won't let you join the Butei club!!!"

"…………"

He looked torn.Given his zero tolerance for the truth, I figured I'd better not point it out.

"You just said something!"

I revisited the one-second rule in the conversation, paused, acted like I was actually listening to his tantrum, and said, "Well, even though you don't like me, I actually like you."

As soon as I said this, I clearly felt that time was frozen.Edogawa opened his eyes wide, like a cat that was suddenly frightened, and stiffly shifted his gaze away from me.Then he crawled into the bed at an extremely slow speed, entered from the tail, and hid half of his body, he began to kick his legs "bang bang bang".

"...Is his leg itchy all of a sudden, do you want to scratch it for him?"

Tanizaki looked at me suspiciously.

I also looked at him suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

"It's... well, I was thinking, maybe you can ask what's going on?"

I shook my head decisively and said, "It's too dangerous. There is a high probability. I think I will be kicked."

"...Ayanokōji, you are truly a miraculous person."

I felt that what Tanizaki said was not a good thing.

Don't know why this evening ended very peacefully, except I heard Edogawa eating snacks under the covers.After I noticed it, he threw me a candy and said with a smile: "You can't tell others."

Did he see some funny video under the quilt, or was it a story, and he was in such a good mood?

After I put the candy next to my pillow, I continued to sleep.

There is still a long list of things to do, and hopefully everything will go according to plan in Yokohama.

Will three weeks be long?

Not long, just right.
