[Bungo Stray Dogs] Yokohama Renka

As I said before when I discussed with Ishiguro-kun at the factory, most of the investigative power in this matter fell back to the government.No matter how chaotic the situation in Yokohama is, a terrorist attack involving a candidate is a serious matter. People who usually keep silent for the sake of delicate balance will take action for it, right?

The work we take on now is just to assist them and perform some tasks of dealing with "leftovers".After four days or so of tedious viewing of surveillance tapes, I finally determined the route by which the tanker was smuggled.

Rubbing his tired eyes, there was a peaceful scene outside the window.There is still a bomb/bomb that will explode at an unknown time on this piece of peace, and what this city lacks most is fuel.But this is beyond the scope of my work. Compared with the distant mysterious organization, the next thing I should do is to write a report on the last raid on Longhair.

Ahh, it's so troublesome, writing the report should be a job for two people, but that guy ran outside to be cool, what's the matter?

Even though I lightly asked me if I wanted to go eat with him before I ran out, but considering Kunikida-kun's mood and my image, no matter what I thought, the only option left was to refuse.Dazai definitely skipped work because he knew that I, who was always serious about work, couldn't just go out and have fun.

What a joy to work with me, isn't this the hard part and then run away? !He deliberately ran away because he wanted to see me, who was not good at paperwork, distressed? !This useless guy!

While I was thinking angrily, I wanted to scold myself at the same time, why did I cover for him, but when I saw Dazai's happy expression, I couldn't bear to stop him from being lazy.I have to reflect on it, I may have spoiled him too much.

Just thinking about it, Ms. Haruno Kirako patted me on the shoulder from behind, and she handed me a heavy paper bag, telling me that it was the result of the investigation to be sent to the client.She couldn't find anyone who was free, my work was in the closing phase, and writing reports filled the gaps, and it was a lot less physical than reporting hell.So I readily said yes, and we exchanged cute pictures of each other's cats. (I admit that male three-colored cats are rare, and Ms. Haruno's cats have beautiful fur and eyes, but I think my Zhijun is the cutest cat in the world.)

After the materials were successfully delivered, I glanced at my phone. It was already time to get off work, and the peak traffic back home was blocking the traffic, and the subway was also overcrowded.The light at dusk shines on the hexagonal floor tiles, and the dark red bricks are thus covered with warm light, and the soles of the feet can feel the heat emanating from the land that has absorbed the sun for a day.

I was not in the mood to go home for a while and planned to take a stroll outside.The place where the client lives is very close to the seaside park. The ginkgo trees on both sides of the road and the distant sea view remind me of my experience in high school.Obviously it was only a few months ago, but thinking about it now, it seems like a story far away in the sky.

Just when I was calm, I received a call from Ishiguro-kun. His voice was very anxious, and it sounded like something serious had happened.

"Where are you now? Send me your location!"

I was surprised, but seeing the young man's tone didn't look like a joke, I did as he said.

"Ah, that's great, you are not too far away from me, stand there, don't move until you meet me. Now I will explain the current situation. Akagi, I have used my ability, so now we have no Time to turn back. Listen, you've died in the future as I see it."

I was taken aback.

"——Notifying me of my death at the beginning, isn't that too exciting?! By the way, I'm walking in a quiet and harmonious park right now, and there are no changes around me. You have to give me an acceptable reason for dying suddenly."

The solemnity and earnestness in Ishiguro-kun's words do not seem to be fake, this news is really shocking, but according to my understanding of Ishiguro-kun, he did not lie.I probably really died here and at this time in the timeline that Ishiguro-kun experienced.

The death news I heard from others was as light as catkins, and my brain was overloaded with information for a while, and I couldn't think of the cause and effect.

"Don't interrupt, there is not enough time now. There are pipelines for transporting natural gas underground in this park, which are connected to many gas storage tanks. Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to find out how and where the other party appeared. According to Mr. Ranpo It is speculated that the oil tanker was smuggled nearby last night in advance. In another hour, the prisoner will detonate the oil tanker at the shallowest place where the pipeline is buried, and you will be involved in the chain explosion of the underground gas pipeline ..."

On the phone, Ishiguro-kun's voice paused, as if he couldn't bear it, he swallowed, and continued:

"The problem now is that we can't find the prisoner's current location. The only combat force nearby at this point in time is you. So please, Akagi, if we can't stop her, half of Yokohama will be engulfed in flames. "

Is it going to be a superhero after the justice partners?Is the difficulty level too high? !I secretly thought.

He said he was looking for someone, but he didn't give a specific area. This neighborhood is mainly a residential area of ​​low-cost apartments rented out to office workers. Instead of looking for her, it's better to go to the location where the oil tanker is and wait for her to arrive. There should be guards there. staff.

I thought about it for a while, and asked Ishiguro-kun: "Who else will use your ability to send back to the present?"

"Mr. President, Dr. Yosano and Kunikida-kun. Ranpo-san also knows that I have gone back in time... They are now mobilizing the government to issue an evacuation notice."

Ishiguro-kun said, his hesitation made me a little puzzled.What is there to hide from me at this juncture?But he didn't want to say that it might not be a big deal.

I didn't want to delve into Ishiguro-kun's concealment, so I asked him if there is a large underground parking lot or other places where oil tankers can be hidden near him.

Why should I do detective work?I think you are embarrassing me, a force faction!However, as an agent of the Armed Detective Agency, I have to reason occasionally. After all, Ishiguro-kun and I are the only ones who can use it here.

The road that can avoid surveillance and traffic police, and allow heavy vehicles to pass, after borrowing map software to analyze, I confirmed the possible route, and after analyzing and analyzing, I got a possible location.I looked left and right, and saw a motorcycle nearby that seemed to be in good hands, and stole it decisively in violation of laws and regulations, um... Regarding the matter of compensating the owner, let's wait until the dust settles.With my technology, there is no problem in arriving at the destination within 10 minutes.

"Sorry, Ishiguro-kun, don't come looking for me here. I'll go to the abandoned warehouse near the seaside park. That's the most likely place—or rather, the only possible place."

"and many more--!"

"One hour is too tight. I don't believe they won't cause damage in other places while blasting. Instead of meeting me, you might as well think about whether there are other abnormal conditions after the explosion-if time permits, Find Dazai and let him join in, I believe he can handle the current situation."

I rode my motorcycle in the wrong direction on the road (good boy, please don’t imitate it), and I got countless looks along the way. Before the traffic police found out, I drove all the way to the destination.

I parked the car outside the warehouse area and snapped off a piece of rearview mirror. With the help of the mirror, I hid in the fence to observe the situation inside, and no one was guarding me.It was four or 10 minutes away from the explosion time Ishiguro-kun said, and it would take 25 minutes to reach their scheduled blasting site.In other words, the prisoner must be preparing to do bad things inside now.

Stealth is impossible, so you have to turn on the unparalleled mode.I was struggling to cheer myself up, and when I turned around, I saw a person who walked in one step ahead of me. His thin black back was so weak that he was an acquaintance——Akutagawa Ryunosuke-kun. For some reason, he appeared here .

Seeing him swaggering so much, I thought of Akutagawa-kun's violent style, so I quickly followed him in.The sun has faded and night is approaching. The only light in the dark warehouse is a light bulb with a low wattage.I saw the tanker truck that had kept me awake for four nights sitting quietly in the middle of the warehouse.

Akutagawa-kun covered his mouth and coughed twice, he noticed me, and said coldly: "Please don't hinder me from cleaning up the traitors of the Port Mafia, or do you want to be Rashomon's bait?"

Come on, you can't beat me at all, so stop talking harshly.

I'd love to say this, but Akutagawa seems to have a lot more information than I do, and this isn't the time to fight.

So I said seriously: "I just passed by by chance, Akutagawa-kun. If possible, I just want to take away this lost public property. So, can you pretend that you have never seen me, and I will take it away .”

Seeing his gloomy expression, I added.

"...Or after you finish packing, I can take it away."

At this moment, there was a sudden gunshot, and the bullets were swallowed up by Akutagawa's black beast. The person who fired the gun was quite familiar to me. It was Kimura Chisaki's sister who took care of me back then.

I noticed a strange fibrous material protruding from the side of her waist, like a belt.

The other party obviously didn't recognize me, and stared gloomily in our direction—mainly Akutagawa.

Akutagawa sneered, and greeted him directly with the black beast, I immediately pulled him, and the black shadow barely brushed Kimura's hair.

"! Detective agency, do you want to prevent me from dealing with internal scandal?"

"Your internal affairs have nothing to do with me," I darkened, "I'm not saving her. Don't you see that the bulge under her clothes is weird? If I'm not wrong, the ties underneath are very powerful. Strong bomb. Can you be held responsible if you accidentally break the fuse?"

"You can do whatever you want, I don't want to be killed." Especially if you know that you have been killed once.

"Yes, with this bomb and so much gasoline, you and I will be burned to the ground without ashes left." Kimura said.

I pressed Akutagawa's shoulder, motioned him to be honest, and tried to talk to Kimura who was clearly out of shape.

How did she, who was a normal social animal four years ago, become what she is now?Or does every resident of Yokohama live in the heart of a beast that destroys the world?Thinking about it like this suddenly feels a little powerless.

"Sister, what you do is not good for yourself or Yokohama. If you don't resist now, I will help you dispose of the bomb."

The best solution is for her to listen to me and I feed the bomb to the black beast in Akutagawa.

"And I will guarantee that Akutagawa-kun will not shoot you, and use physical means to guarantee it."

The author has something to say:

There are only two more chapters left and it will be over. After the end, there will be two episodes, one is about two years from Dunguan.The other has about 5-7 chapters, and the content is about Dazai's parenting diary.Cough cough, I will finish the exam tomorrow!

Thank you Storm Summoner for the mine and Nian Xian for the nutrient solution, don’t, don’t be like this, it would be nice if you can chat in the comment area [shivering]
