[Wen Ye] Do caged birds dream of butterflies?

I am January, my name is January.Sanchuan January. "

"Is this also... a secret?"

"Yes." You let him break free from the shackles easily, turned around and trapped you under him, smiled and stretched out your arms to wrap his arms around his neck, "It's a secret you only tell Mr. Dazai."

"Then, little January." He also smiled, and threw away the crumpled tie, "It's my turn."

***

Spring has passed in your ears and temples.

And then there is summer.

When the scenery outside the window changes from various greens to reds and yellows, you know that autumn is here.

***

On this day, Mori Ogai called you to the chief's office early in the morning.

"Miss, please help me write a silver oracle." He said.

"The Oracle of Silver?"

"Yes, there are some things that need to be investigated."

"Mr. Mori just give orders for that kind of thing." While saying this, you sat behind the desk, looked at the Echizen washi paper inlaid with silver foil that Mori Ogai had already prepared, and unscrewed the pocket The pen I was carrying, "So, what are you going to write?"

"Just write, 'Oda Sakunosuke...'"

Your movements stopped, and you looked up at the man in the white coat in front of you, "Is there anything you need Oda to do?"

"It's a very troublesome matter." Mori Ogai maintained a smiling expression, talking about trouble, but his tone seemed to be discussing trivial matters, "Sakaguchi Ango-kun is missing."

——Ango Sakaguchi, you think of that young man whom you have only met once, who looks more refined and more like a scholar than a madman.

"What does that have to do with Oda?"

"Little Tomie doesn't know yet, right? Sakaguchi Ango-kun is now an important intelligence agent of PortMafia.//He has countless top secrets of PortMafia in his mind, including the management method of black accounts, and the list of companies and officials who have paid protection fees to PortMafia , the contact information of the regular trade partners of smuggled goods, etc.//," Mori Ogai showed an expression as if he was genuinely troubled, "//If these information are sold to other organizations, not only can they get high rewards, but also let them Cut through the lifeblood of the organization bit by bit and crush us in one fell swoop."//

The word he used was missing, which means that it is still unclear whether Ango Sakaguchi was kidnapped and betrayed, or whether he disappeared for some reason. "So you can't conduct a search with great fanfare, and you can't even reveal the fact that he has disappeared." Because it will cause panic.Moreover, if the extensive search turns out to be a false alarm, it will be a very big crisis of trust for PortMafia and Ango Sakaguchi himself.Therefore, entrusting someone with excellent skills to act alone is the best choice. "I see." You nodded and repeated your question. "But what does that have to do with Oda?"

Oda Sakunosuke's "main job" is your exclusive errands, and "side job" is the lowest-level member of PortMafia.He is not an intelligence officer, and he has no expertise in search, so there is no reason to specifically designate him to find someone-for this reason, he has to get a "Silver Oracle".

"Because Oda-kun and Ango-kun are friends." Mori Ogai spread his hands, "And Oda-kun was one of the last people to see Ango-kun. They drank together at the bar last night—and Dazai-kun."

Your fingers trembled slightly. "That's it."

"So I had to borrow it from the young lady."

——Because this is the optimal solution.In the matter of "finding Ango Sakaguchi", Oda Sakunosuke has a stronger "motivation" than others.

You nodded: "OK."

The pen tip in your hand slid across Echizen and the paper, and complained casually: "Mr. Mori, it's almost time for you to become a boss yourself. Every time you call me because of this kind of thing, it's completely subjective. I used to Forget it, the current PortMafia has completely stabilized. I don’t need me at all anymore. Let me be a caged bird quietly waiting to die.”

"Okay, okay." He laughed, "I will think about it." As he spoke, as if thinking of something, he added, "By the way, Dazai-kun will be very busy today. He may not be free to reply. Headquarters, shall I let Alice accompany you?"

"Okay." You nodded casually, and handed him the written letter, "But don't come too early, I have to go back to catch up on sleep—Mr. Sen, it's only 8 o'clock now!"

After writing the handbook, you return to the study.As usual, the floor-to-ceiling windows were shaded by thick curtains, and all the lights in the study were on, filling the room with bright artificial light.

You sighed, turned off the light, walked into the bedroom, kicked off the slippers, stepped into the bathroom with bare feet, filled the bathtub, turned on the side shower, and turned the water volume on both sides to the maximum.

Then, with the sound of rushing water, propping up the washbasin, I tiptoed to remove the frosted glass lampshade of the wall lamp next to the mirror, took off the magnetic card wrapped with tape from the lamp holder, and put it into my mobile phone.

As soon as I turned it on, hundreds of unread text messages flooded in.You endured the irritability that almost killed you.I browsed through it quickly, then picked out one, and called the number on it.

The other person picked it up in seconds, but he couldn't hide his excitement when he opened his mouth.

But you just feel tired, and you don't bother to listen to what he has to say. The lowered voice is full of impatience, arrogance and savagery, "I want the latest information. Yes, just these two days, you can do anything. What have you done? What did others do to us again? Huh? Then what does it matter to me? I don’t know? If you don’t know, go check it out, waste!”

You made the same call three times in a row.

So an hour later, after soaking in a fragrant bubble bath, you played with your mobile phone and read text messages, while writing 1234 on the mirror that was fogged by water vapor, and quickly sorted it out in your mind.

At this stage, there are 4 pieces of noteworthy information related to Mr. Dazai and Sakunosuke Oda.

1) Three days ago, the intelligence department received news that suspicious persons appeared near the smuggling warehouse.

2) Yesterday, Osamu Dazai led his subordinates to set up a siege in the smuggling warehouse and blocked a team that came to attack.The number of opponents is around a dozen, and the strongest firepower is armored vehicles with machine guns and portable howitzers.One was captured, several were killed, and several were escaped.The characteristic is that he dresses in tatters like a tramp and carries an old-fashioned pistol with him.

3) One of the three highest level vaults where PortMafia was kept very heavily armed was stolen last night.Three guards died, and there was no sign of forced entry.Now Mr. Hirotsu has taken people to the scene, and it is said that the next step is to notify Osamu Dazai.

4) The captive who attacked the smuggling warehouse committed suicide this morning by taking poison while being tortured, the poison was hidden in his teeth.Only the names of these people's organizations were asked. MIMIC——It's actually quite cute. *

Then, there is the information you just learned from Mori Ogai.

According to the timeline...

You reach out, draw a caret between 3 and 4, and write 3.5.

[3.5] Last night, after drinking with Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke, Ango Sakaguchi disappeared. 】

Then draw a circle around 123, then drag an arc from the circle, and draw an arrow extending to 3.5.Then draw question marks on the circles and arrows respectively.

Was it also MIMIC who raided the weapons vault?Is the disappearance of Ango Sakaguchi related to MIMIC?

—There are too few clues.Not sure yet.

— need more information.

You tilted your head, thought about it, and erased the string of numbers casually.

***

Afterwards, while blowing your hair, you made two more phone calls, sent an email, and then replaced your SIM card again, and pasted the replaced magnetic card under the bathtub with cat feet.

You looked at the time, it was almost 10 o'clock, so you went back to the bedroom and took a sleep. After 12 o'clock, Alice who knocked on the door woke you up. You had lunch together, played all afternoon, and had dinner together.After dinner, we even watched half a movie together—you also have audio-visual equipment in your study—until you were sleepy, she reluctantly said goodbye to you.

Then you take another bubble bath which is a waste of water.And got further follow-up information.

5) Stolen Arms Vault, the main entrance was opened with a password.A total of 40 automatic rifles, 8 shotguns, 55 pistols, 2 sniper rifles, 80 pistol ammunition, and 18 kilograms of explosive high-performance explosives were lost.After Mr. Dazai's confirmation, it can be determined that MIMIC is also responsible.

6) Oda Sakunosuke was attacked at the hotel where the other party stayed while investigating Ango Sakaguchi. The attacker was a MIMIC sniper.But with Dazai-sensei's support, both of them are fine.He found an old-fashioned pistol from the hotel that was carried by the MIMIC members.

You thought about it, and slid your hand gently on the water, changing the 5) marked in your mind to 3.1), and then changing 6) to 5).

This is very concise and clear.Leaving out all the details, nothing more than two things happened:

One: An organization called MIMIC is looking for trouble for PortMafia.

Two: Ango Sakaguchi is missing.It is related to MIMIC.

To be honest, none of them are very interesting.Fighting and killing is the norm in PortMafia.As a caged bird, whether it's PortMafia to fight another
