Takei Ayanokoji's Tool Man Guide

When will you feel that your life is just a joke?

I think it's almost there now.

I was speechless to Edogawa and Dazai, and even after a long time, I would reflect on whether I was too small and not open enough.I wasn't ready for life to be full of this kind of non-stop squabbling.

In the afternoon, Atsushi Nakajima went out with me as agreed.We were going to the trade center in the port area, and before we left, I sent a message to Mr. Guangjin Liulang, telling him about the "human tiger"'s actions, and asked him to find someone to catch it.

Now, Atsushi Nakajima is the 70 billion person with a bounty on the black market, and Hong Kong gangsters have always been the main force in the arrest.The previous times when Hong Kong gangsters and Butei have confronted each other, it was all because of this person.

During the period when Atsushi Nakajima fled alone so as not to implicate me, Mr. Hirotsu, who invited me, and I met alone near the cistern on the roof of the shopping mall.

As soon as Mr. Hirotsu saw me, he asked, "Did you suffer in Fuyuki City? You don't look very well."

"..."

Let me first talk about Mr. Hirotsu in front of me.

He was a member of Hong Kong gangsters when he was young, and his seniority in Hong Kong gangsters is even deeper than that of the current leader of Hong Kong gangsters, Mori Ogai.The current position is the centurion of the guerrillas directly under the leader of Hong Kong and Hei. He has very good abilities and takes good care of his subordinates, so he is highly respected in Hong Kong and Hei.

I personally have a lot of respect for this gentleman.

How should I put it, I will have a certain degree of goodwill towards people who are willing to take care of me.This may have something to do with my lazy behavior.If there is an afterlife, I would actually like to be a sloth (Sloth).However, normally speaking, no one would be disgusted with "others treat themselves well", right?

When he said that I was haggard, I had the illusion of being hit with a knowing heart.My expression should be brought out from the Armed Detective Agency.But I also don't want to explain such trivial things.

Anyway, I told him first about my progress—"I joined the Armed Detective Agency."

"In order to help apprehend the "human tiger", you also put your heart into it. "

After Mr. Hirotsu entered and exited the Armed Detective Agency and learned that there was a former Hong Kong gangster cadre Osamu Dazai in the Armed Detective Agency, he immediately understood my difficulty.Although I didn't join Buteisha for the purpose of arresting "Renhu", it's fine for him to understand.

In order to better enter the chat atmosphere, Mr. Hirotsu took from his pocket

He took out the cigarette case, handed me a cigarette and said, "You can smoke one too."

"Thank you, Mr. Hirotsu. I won't die." I raised my hand and politely refused, "I'm going to start quitting smoking."

"The withdrawal reaction of smoking addiction is not easy to get over. I quit several times when I was young. After all, I was comfortable smoking, but in the end I still didn't quit." Mr. Guangjin talked about him casually, and taught me some little things. Skills, if you can't bear it, you can try electronic cigarettes, or chewing gum.

I continued to talk about business, after all, I didn't inform him that I would join Buteisha.So I tried to explain my behavior of joining other organizations without authorization, saying: "In the Armed Detective Agency, I can provide information not only on "Renhu" but also on "Osamu Dazai" who defected to Hong Kong gangsters. "

Hirotsu shook the cigarette ash, and said in a gentle tone: "The "?" I sent earlier was asking you about joining the detective agency.I thought you decided not to continue working in Hong Kong and black.If you have this kind of heart, it is naturally very good.

But Dazai, Mr. Dazai, your ability is a little too immature.You don't take the initiative to get his attention.Just don't let him stare at you. "

Holding a cigarette between his index and middle fingers, Mr. Hirotsu said sharply, "After you catch the "Human Tiger" and get the bounty, I will ask the leader for a reward. "

Hearing such a somewhat unexpected answer, I consciously began to become depressed myself.If Mr. Hirotsu doesn't even have the will to confront the opponent, he can only fight on his own.

Probably seeing my emotions, he said persuasively: "It's not that I don't believe you, but you don't know who Dazai Osamu is. To put it simply, after he defected from Hong Kong black four years ago, he joined the Butei Club For two years, the members of the Hong Kong gangsters responsible for tracking down Osamu Dazai did not know about it. If it hadn't been for the "Renhu" incident, no one would have known that he had been in Yokohama. "

"I understand."

I interrupted his continued explanation with this sentence.

"Well, as long as you understand." Guangjin didn't forget about my handkerchief, so he said, "What's the meaning on your handkerchief? I can't understand it. Are you trying to send me some information? They're all symbols and numbers, and I can't even read them."

As soon as I said those words, I felt a slap in the face, and I thought about what he said before, and it is useless to explain it now.

"It's nothing."

I said lightly.

"There's just one thing I'm still confused about. How could my handkerchief be picked up?"

How about going back to the cafe?Even if you don't understand, you shouldn't need to return it, right? "

In fact, you can ask Osamu Dazai in detail how he picked it up.However, Dazai Osamu may be lying half of what he said, so it is better to ask Hirotsu Yanagi directly if you ask him.

"Uh, how do you explain this?" Guangjin Liulang took a puff of cigarette and said, "There is a member of the Hong Kong black cadres named "Central Plains Chuya", should you know? "

"Ah."

I never thought that this matter had something to do with Zhongyuanzhong.But as soon as Mr. Guangjin said it, I thought "how is it related to the law?" Many ideas popped up in my head, but I personally wanted to hear what Guangjin Liulang had to say.

"In fact, after we lost to the Armed Detective Agency, when we were sent to the military police station, Mr. Nakaya happened to pass by, rescued all of us, and took us back to Hong Kong. He saw me holding your handkerchief, It's hard for me to explain your current identity, so I said that when I fell, a young man helped me retrieve the lens with a handkerchief."

Mr. Hirotsu said while recalling.

"Mr. Chuya said, then I will go to heal the wound, and he will help me return it."

Seeing that I was stunned, Guangjin didn't know how to explain, coughed lightly and said, "Although Mr. Nakaya is famous, in fact, Mr. Nakaya has such a careful personality. If you have a chance to meet him in the future, You will feel quite different."

According to the current setting, I have never "seen" Nakahara Chuya.The outside world does not have many comments on his appearance. According to the information I know, most people say how strong this person is, and they basically use a posture of looking up, so that most of his image is "stalwart" or "muscular.

"it is good."

I will look forward to it.

After answering, I breathed a sigh of relief as if I had a short rest after a long journey.

Mr. Guangjin noticed this detail and said: "Are you really tired? I have been undercover for two years, and I haven't given you any clear reply. When will you officially join?"

"If you don't participate in combat, just do the work of an intelligence officer. I know there will be some difficulties in it."

In this regard, I was mentally prepared when I started doing it.

If you do well, you won't be too bad once you enter a Hong Kong gangster position.

Mr. Guangjin said: "Actually, in the past two years, I have always thought about recruiting you back to Hong Kong and Heilongjiang to serve as an important task in the intelligence department. It’s a big deal, so it’s going to be dragged on forever.”

"I've been unlucky."

This point, I know in my heart.

"If the human-tiger incident is successfully completed, I will help you mention it in front of the leader." Mr. Guangjin said, with an encouraging and soothing smile on his mouth.

I think it is estimated that there should be no results.

I don't pin my hopes on Mr. Hirotsu either.

I changed the subject and said, "Is there any news from the Hong Kong gangsters recently?"

"You should have heard of Akutagawa, the captain directly under the guerrillas."

Mr. Hirotsu always speaks in an unhurried tone.At this time, I could hear the admiration in his voice, it seemed that he liked the newcomer quite a lot.

He said: "Recently, I brought back a newcomer named Kotomine Kirei to join the team. Although he doesn't have supernatural powers, he won't be completely at a disadvantage when fighting Akutagawa. Besides being good at Bajiquan, he also Specializes in the throwing weapon called "Black Key".In less than a second, four balls can be thrown in a row, each of which penetrates the steel bar. "

"..."

Probably seeing that I didn’t answer, thinking that I was depressed because of being compared, Mr. Hirotsu continued to comfort me and said: "In Hong Kong and Hei, it is true that the martial arts faction will have the upper hand, but that doesn't mean you can't do it, Ayanokōji."

At this time, my mobile phone vibrated, and the contact on the mobile phone was "Atsushi Nakajima".I said, "Sorry, my colleague contacted me, I have to go back."

"Yeah." Mr. Guangjin stayed where he was, as if he was about to finish his cigarette.

I didn't look back at Mr. Hirotsu, but followed my steps downstairs, carefully recalling every sentence I said to Mr. Hirotsu, wondering if there were any mistakes in it.According to my prediction, I should not get contact from Mr. Hirotsu in the short term.

Atsushi Nakajima told me that he had already left the shopping center in the port area, and he would not meet me for the time being in order to avoid implicating me, who was helpless.If you don't get rid of the people in Hong Kong, you may meet in front of my apartment later.

I wrote back and said, "Be safe, be careful."

It is estimated that we will not see each other for a while, but I am not in a hurry to go back, sitting on the bench next to the shopping plaza, listening to others performing on the cello in the public area, and answering the text messages of Sasaki Nobuko.

She asked me where I am.

I gave her the address.

Halfway through the song, Nobuko Sasaki's voice came from behind me.

"Ayanokouji-kun, I didn't expect that we would meet in this way. It's not a teacher-student relationship, but a relationship of hostility."

she's sitting on the bench behind me

superior.The two of us are sitting opposite each other like the intertwined black squares on a chess board, and we can only see each other's shoulders out of the corner of our eye.

"Ah."

I didn't think about how we would meet.So, I'm not like her, not surprised.

Sasaki Nobuko's soft voice sounded: "Do you still remember, what is that person's ideal?"

That person is Sasaki Nobuko's lover.

We are like a pair of friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, reminiscing about the past.

I remember that.

"Building a world without crime."

I found that I can always meet some people who have extreme dreams, such as wanting to build a "world without supernatural beings", like wanting to build a "world without magic", and "a world without crime" .

Nobuko Sasaki smiled faintly, and she didn't need to turn her head to know that her smile was full of the calmness and elegance of Xuemei Yuan.

"I didn't expect it, but you still remember." Sasaki started to get to the point, and said, "You should know that the detective agency sent me an email, right? Do you know? In fact, I don't necessarily lose."

"I know."

In this matter, why confront Nobuko Sasaki instead of directly threatening her to surrender?In the final analysis, it is still because of who is more "confident" than who in this matter.

Just as the Butei Club gambled that "Nobuko Sasaki will definitely care about the relatives and family members of King Cang, and does not want them to be disturbed by society", while Nobuko Sasaki bet that "The Butei Club with its own beliefs and principles of justice will not I won’t do that kind of dirty tricks.”

As long as she is determined not to say anything or do anything tomorrow, she will not necessarily lose. The identity of the "Messenger of Cang" is only a speculation after all, rather than an evidentiary point.

And, most importantly——

When leaving Buteisha today, Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Doppo talked about the incident committed by Sasaki Nobuko. His thoughts were very different from my previous thoughts.

When I didn't hear Osamu Dazai's remarks, I thought that Nobuko Sasaki was a very fragile person who could not live without others like Cuscuta.But in the eyes of Osamu Dazai, Nobuko Sasaki is a very strong person.

Osamu Dazai said that in the past there were speculations that the "King Cang" had an accomplice.King Cang is a man of noble nature, so his accomplices cannot be the kind of perpetrators who can only be bound by interests or accomplices who act for the purpose of dividing up interests.His accomplice must be "towards the ideal with one heart and one mind" and "has the same noble quality"

Quality" people.

The letter from the Angel of Cang seems to be revenge for the "Armed Detective Agency", but it is not a scandal to force the Armed Detective Agency to find out and punish those criminals lurking in the dark.

From the missing persons case in Yokohama, to the bomber who has no evidence to prove his identity, to the arms dealer who illegally smuggled and sold organs, the main culprits are at large because of the powerlessness of the police.

"Nobuko Sasaki said "revenge", but she was actually carrying out Soo's ideals in her own way. "

After Osamu Dazai finished speaking, the audience fell silent.

When everyone felt that Sasaki Nobuko's behavior was not as selfish and narrow as imagined, I heard the insinuation in Dazai Osamu's words.The mask that I was targeted by Nobuko Sasaki was easily peeled off by Osamu Dazai.

The reason why I was targeted by Nobuko Sasaki couldn't be simpler.

Because I am also one of those outlaws who cannot be punished by the law.

I thought Nobuko Sasaki didn't know that "I deliberately tricked Soo on the grounds that I shared common ideals, and cooperated with him".But now it seems that maybe I couldn't see the true meaning behind other people's ideas at first.

After all, I judge others by how convenient I am.As long as the final result is what I want, how to develop in the middle process is right or wrong, black or white.At the end of the day, for me, as long as I win, that's fine.

Maybe others will feel ashamed and embarrassed because they have misunderstood others.But what I thought was "Nobuko Sasaki and I are opposites. If everyone is inclined to my words, then Nobuko Sasaki should be the evil side, and I am good; but if everyone is inclined to the words of Dazai, then Sasaki Cheng Xinzi should be good, and I am evil."

Then how can I stand in a favorable position even if I stand on the angle of being questioned.Nobuko Sasaki, the only one who knows what's going on in her heart, doesn't need to explain.

And the condition of how to ask her out is very simple - "I can regenerate King Cang".She should know about this, after all I told King Cang, and she is King Cang's lover.

She will come to me.

I waited for her to ask me to bring her lover back to life.And the condition I put forward will be "she will never explain", bringing the truth under the loess.I'm not interested in "truth" or "whether Sasaki is strong or not", I just don't want my current interests to be damaged.

However, Nobuko Sasaki said something else.

"I heard that Taguchi Rokuzo was in the cemetery, so I finally forgive you. Ayanokōji-kun, you are the smartest criminal boy I have ever met.

I have no way to prove your crime, nor can I induce others to kill you.I even thought, I should have shot you myself.However, I also know that if you are willing to go on, his ideal will eventually be realized by you, and you can go to a height that I can't go to. "

I said, "You should know that such a wish is impossible to come true."

Sasaki Nobuko smiled bitterly and said: "Really... So, I hated you in my heart. Why did you give him such a revelation, let him be desperate, let him see death as home, let me lose him forever, and why did you give him such a revelation? You have to bear his wish and walk on your own.”

"I think it's because you can't stop your losses in time, and no one tells you that you have to do that."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt Nobuko Sasaki turned to look at me, her voice full of powerlessness and helplessness.

"I knew I shouldn't have expected an answer from you.

You know the neuroscientist Dr. Lange Joseph? He once said, "Inside each of us is a child. This child makes up everything we have experienced in the past, our current life and our future." Life".

Ayanokouji-kun, since he was a child, he probably didn't care about anyone, only caring about his own interests, success or failure, a cold-hearted child. "

"Maybe."

After all, these are not the content of the assessment.

"Ayanokōji, you don't understand people's hearts after all." Sasaki Nobuko shook her head lightly.

"I do not know."

I don't know "whether I understand people's hearts" or "whether I should understand people's hearts".

Because if I try to understand, those people I erased with my "book" will make me unable to move forward.And all the things I do are not what I imagined that I was doing "a better life" and became "I don't want to face the past, escape from the past, and just reject the past."

But no one told me if I was doing it right.

They don't even remember what I did.

"Ayanokouji-kun, I really hope you are a good person. For many people, this should be a very important thing. For you, it shouldn't be a bad thing. But—"

I inexplicably remembered that on a certain summer night, someone reached out to me and said, "Take your time, it's okay".At that time, I knew that he was actually telling me, "It doesn't matter if I don't understand feelings now, I can take my time, it's okay. He will give me a lot of patience

and confidence.He will help me and he will wait for me. "

But I still haven't done it.

I ran after my victory, leaving everyone behind.

……

"Ayanokouji-kun, everyone in this world has their own ideals or beliefs. Do you have your ideals for living in this world?"

Nobuko Sasaki brought me back from a short memory.

She stood up, as if she was about to leave after these last words.

"It is him who supports me to live. He is my ideal. Now I am tired. When I received the email, I actually breathed a sigh of relief, as if telling me, "It can stop here." "

At this time, the back of my head was suddenly held by Nobuko Sasaki with a gun.But to my surprise, I didn't feel that this move was abrupt, as if it was a matter of course, it just happened naturally.

Or, I'm actually waiting for this ending here.

That's why I asked her to come here.

That's why I transferred Atsushi Nakajima.

So, I just sat here quietly.

Everything happened so peacefully.

The passers-by didn't react at all, and a weak and strong woman held a gun to another person's head.

They continued walking, laughing, and talking.

The air still smelled of the unique vanilla smell of the bakery, and the bright sun was not blocked by the cloud for a moment.This is the most ordinary day.

In the crowd, I could also see a kid with a ponytail accidentally let go of his balloon.Thankfully, the little balloon didn't fly very high, it was just drifting in the wind brought by the flow of people, but it just didn't let the child catch up.

The musician who was playing still kept his eyes half closed, and continued to enjoy the wonderful and magnificent music on his strings, which attracted the praise of passers-by.

"I'm sorry, Ayanokouji-kun. Even if you have won the trust of Taguchi boy these two years, I will still take you away."

The sound of the trigger being pulled followed her words.

I saw the kid grab the balloon that floated away.There was a smile on his face, and then his balloon was burst by the passing pedestrians.

"Boom—"

This sound was also mixed with Atsushi Nakajima's loud "Ayanokōji-kun" from a distance, and the sound like fireworks.

After the sound, the audience fell into a high-pitched scream.

I stood up amidst the screams and looked back to see Nobuko Sasaki with a hole in her face from a gun that went off.because no ejaculation

In the midbrain stem, she will not die immediately, but will only die slowly due to massive blood loss.

"When did you tamper with a gun?"

Nobuko Sasaki suddenly understood, and tried hard to find my gaze.

"I didn't tamper with the gun."

It was what it was when I sold it.Although Sasaki deliberately avoids my store to buy guns, once she makes an order, I know.Like Taguchi Rokuzo, Nobuko Sasaki bought the first branch, and the person who wanted to do it was most likely me.So I fiddled with the guns I sold from the very beginning.

As long as they don't touch me, they won't die either.

This death has been identified, and probably can only be explained from the "inferior gun".If it is necessary to find a murderer, the online shop under the name I renamed "Osamu Dazai" is also waiting.

Although the plan is different from what I thought, there is always only one answer.

Nobuko Sasaki laughed when she heard my words, and said angrily: "I expect you to tell the truth. Ayanokouji-kun, please do it yourself. What you did two years ago will follow you like a curse. .”

"...Miss Sasaki, in fact, I also have an ideal."

"Have you seen all the suffering in the world..."

I took off my coat, intending to cover it on Sasaki Nobuko's blood-stained face, and said softly, "It's just that I was forgotten by my ideal."

Sasaki said: "Ayanokōji, do you know? The feeling of waiting for death is so strange, I feel that I am slowly getting cold. Have you ever thought about the feeling of those who died because of you?"

"I know."

I have experienced it thousands of times.

No one knows and understands what it's like to die better than I do.

Nobuko Sasaki looked at me with difficulty, wondering if she was the same as when she saw my essence at first glance, but she seemed to understand my expression all at once, and finally lowered her eyes.

"If no one in this world can really understand you.

Ayanokouji-kun, what should you do? "

"..."

I do not know either.

As far as I am today, no one has told me if I am doing it right.

On that day, I asked the Armed Detective Agency for a week off, not moving, not going to work, not wanting to move.I remembered that Nobuko Sasaki once lent me a film "Mulholland Drive" and watched it repeatedly in the house.

When the plot progresses to the Spanish female singer singing "Llorando/Crying" in the theater, the female singer's mournful singing floats along.

"Yoque penséquete olvidéperoes verdad,
