On the sofa in the living room, Keeko is sitting on a single seat, Osamu Dazai is on her left, and her younger brother Rokudokuku is on the right.

Both of them had cordial and friendly smiles on their faces, but the surrounding atmosphere felt a sense of stalemate.

"...kufufufu, I still think I haven't contacted you for a few days. Mariya, why do you have an extra boyfriend? It turns out that they are just members of the clan, that is--your subordinates."

Zhizi frowned slightly, and corrected: "It's not a subordinate, Dazai-kun and Oda are both my important friends."

"That's it..." The smile on Liu Dao Mu's face faded a little, he looked at Zhi Zi, and said with concern, "Although there is a reason for this, it is still quite dangerous for someone who can easily pry open someone's house like this. Zhenya As a girl, you live alone now, so it's better to be careful."

Liu Daozhou's words almost failed to mention the three words "Dazai Osamu" by name.

Being criticized so openly and secretly, the smile on Dazai's face did not change at all.

He changed his posture, leaned leisurely on the back of the sofa, and said in a brisk tone: "Mr. Mu, why are you so nervous? At least such a person still has principles, and he won't just pry into other people's doors...Compared to those People who can walk into the spiritual world of girls are much safer."

The corners of Liudao Mukuro's mouth twitched, and a unique laugh squeezed out from between his teeth, as if he was about to pull out a trident out of thin air in the next second.

He didn't mean to target Dazai Osamu, but the aura of this man was too unpredictable.He had only felt such an unpleasant feeling on Bai Lan before.

Seeing Liu Dao Mu like this, Zhi Zi quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, that's the end of this topic. ——Speaking of which, Ah Mu, why did you return to Japan from Italy without saying a word?"

Putting away his smile, Liu Dao Muku replied: "Something happened in Italy. I had a mission, so I came back suddenly."

Zhizi nodded. Considering the nature of her brother's job, she didn't ask the bottom line, so she simply asked, "Is it dangerous?"

Liu Dao Mu was silent for a while, and replied: "...not sure."

Zhizi was stunned for a moment, because Liudaomu used to talk about her work with an extremely relaxed attitude, and this was the first time she saw her brother showing such a serious expression.

Glancing at Osamu Dazai, who was sitting across from him with a casual smile, Rokudoku explained: "A week ago, at the alliance meeting between Pengele, Kirioneiro, and the Jesso family, Kikyo, the guardian of the Jesso family, suddenly attacked them. The BOSS Bailan Jesso caused the suspension of the meeting. After that, Bailan suddenly left Italy and came to Japan. Pengelie felt that Bailan’s behavior was suspicious and planned to have someone investigate it. I just wanted to go back to Japan, so I took this by the way Already working."

Zhizi had heard of Bai Lan's name before, and it must have been a difficult matter involving the boss of a family.

So, she said to her younger brother Liu Dao Mu, "If you need help, you can find me."

"Kufufufu, it's just an investigation at the moment, it's not difficult."

Liudaokuo smiled indifferently, and then turned his gaze to Zhizi: "Zhenya, your cold is still not healed, you should go upstairs to rest first. In addition - should some uninvited person also left?"

After hearing this, Dazai didn't move, and didn't have the slightest intention to leave.

He put his arms around his chest, smiled and said to Liudao Mu: "Mr. Mu is leaving soon. After all, your colleagues are still waiting for you. In this case, there will be no one left to take care of Zhizi."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right again, Zhizi interrupted them in time: "—Okay, it's just a small cold, and I can handle it by myself. Whether it's Ah Lie or Dazai-kun, go and get busy with your business. .”

He invited the two of them out of the living room without refusal, and after confirming that they had left, Zhizi closed the door, heaved a sigh of relief, and went upstairs to rest.

……

This time, she slept very peacefully.

When I wanted to drink water in the middle, I reached out and got the cup on the bedside table, and it was still very heart-warming.

So, when it was time for dinner and Zhizi woke up completely, she felt that her illness was completely cured.

After changing clothes and going downstairs, Zhizi was about to cook a simple dinner, but was stunned when he saw the insulated box on the dining table.

In the lunch box is the simplest soy sauce egg bibimbap, and the matching miso soup is packed in a small food box alone.

--Who is the one?Did Ah Mu leave and come back, or did Dazai break open the door again?

Thinking about it carefully, she also found that the process of drinking water during the break was also unusual.Obviously the cup does not have the function of keeping warm, but all she drank was hot water at the right temperature.

In short, I will find an opportunity to ask tomorrow.No matter who it is, thank you for your kindness.

Thinking of this in her heart, the girl's eyes unconsciously showed soft emotions, and then she pulled out the chair and sat down, finishing the carefully prepared dinner.

……

On the second day after recovering from illness, Zhizi went to the detective agency to continue waiting.

When she found a chance to be alone with Dazai, she asked if Dazai had gone and returned yesterday, but the answer she received was——

"Zhizi's attitude was so tough at that time, I didn't dare to disobey, and of course I wouldn't do something like 'break into a private house' again. Oh—? Could it be that Zhizi actually expected me to go back secretly to take care of you?"

Zhizi felt that this topic could not go on, she thought she should go back and ask her younger brother Liudaokui to talk about it.

At this moment, the ordinary clerk of the detective agency approached Zhizi and the others with two powers of attorney.

"—Ms. Eko, Mr. Dazai, these are two new commissions. The first client is already waiting in the reception room, and the second client is still on the way."

Eko took the power of attorney from the clerk, and walked towards the reception room with Dazai.

On the way, she briefly looked through the power of attorney, and saw that the contents were relatively ordinary and normal commissioned tasks.

The name of the first client was "Takeshi Sato". This name can be said to be so ordinary that it is a bad street.He is a social animal of an Internet company and hopes that the detective agency can help find his missing father with Alzheimer's disease. The reason for the disappearance is suspected to be related to people with special abilities.

The second client is named "Hasegawa Kazumi", a female researcher of the "God's Eye" company, and the content of the commission is to secretly protect her when she meets netizens.Because she suspects that this netizen is a person with special abilities, and she is worried that the other party will plot against her.

After closing the power of attorney, the reception room was already in sight, and Zhizi saw that Oda and Kunikida, who had just returned from a mission, had also arrived at the door of the reception room.

The four of them greeted each other briefly, then opened the door and walked into the reception room.

Sitting on the red sofa in the room is a young man in a suit and leather shoes. He wears the most common black cut-cut, and his appearance is of an ordinary level that cannot be found in the crowd. About 1.9 meters tall.

There are dark circles around the man's eyes from staying up all night. At first glance, he looks like a poor social animal squeezed by the boss of the company. Maybe he is a programmer who stays up late at work.

When he saw the four members of the detective agency walking in, his dull eyes burst into a strong light instantly, and he also stood up from the sofa with a "whoosh" and walked towards Zhizi and the others with big strides. .

Due to his tall height and extremely fast pace, coupled with the thick dark blue color around his eyes, from a distance, this man's whole body is very imposing, he doesn't look like he is asking for money, but rather he is here to collect debts.

Just when Zhizi was guessing what the other party was doing, he saw that this person's speed did not slow down, but he knelt on the ground with one knee, and the other followed closely. In the blink of an eye, he completed a standard " Sergeant sit down" posture.

The whole process is done in one go, as if it has been done thousands of times.

Zhizi was a little confused, and Oda and Kunikida next to her also showed slightly stunned expressions.Only Dazai, who was one step behind, still had a constant smile on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Then, the four of them heard the tall man say in a begging tone with a crying sound:

"...Please—! Please help me find my poor old father who suffers from Alzheimer's disease!"

"...I am willing to use all my savings as a commission!"

The air was silent for a second.

The four members of the detective agency looked at each other, and then Oda, who was standing in the middle, coughed lightly, breaking the calm.

He took a step forward, helped the man up from the ground, sent him to sit on the sofa, and said seriously: "Well...don't worry, since the detective agency has accepted the commission, we will definitely do our best to help you find your father. "

With Oda's affirmation, this man—that is, Mr. Sato, his expression softened, and he began to explain the situation to the four members of the detective agency.

"...My name is Sato Meng, and I am an ordinary employee of an Internet company. The client information I filled out should have it, and everyone must know it."

"...My father's name is Sato Sakae. Because he suffers from Alzheimer's disease, I almost take care of him outside of work. Every night when I come home from work, I will go to see my father first. It can be said that he is unshakable. Yesterday, when I pushed open the door of my father's room, what I saw was a room that had been burned to black, and my father was missing!"

"...The traces in the room are different from ordinary fire, as if they were controlled. Aren't there many people with supernatural powers here in Yokohama, so I don't think my father was killed by someone with supernatural powers for some reason. Has the sinister purpose been taken away? If that's the case—"

Speaking of this, Sato suddenly lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, as if he couldn't imagine the scene.

According to Meng Sato's description, he and his father are ordinary people, and it is not clear why such a bizarre thing happened.

However, would a person with supernatural powers really capture an old man with Alzheimer's for no reason?

There are still many doubts about the matter, which requires the members of the detective agency to dig out slowly during the investigation.

Because there was a second client to be received later, and the other party clearly stated that they wanted female members to be present, so the commission was handed over to Oda and Kunikida.

After Oda and the others left, Zhizi bent his elbow and poked Dazai Osamu beside him, and asked him, "Dazai-kun, do you think this Mr. Sato is telling the truth?"

Dazai spread his hands, looking very bored: "——It's too fake. If Mr. Ranpo was present, he should have seen through it at a glance. As for me... um, I just took an extra look."

The author has something to say: Zai: When it comes to acting, you can’t fool me

Sato Meng (false): ... Excuse me, goodbye

ps: Reminder, the two commissions, except for the female researcher who is an original tool needed for the plot, the others are all original characters
