Everyone in Yokohama thinks I'm a villain

Nakajima Atsushi held a map of Yokohama in his hand and walked on the embankment.

He had joined the Armed Detective Agency a few days earlier.Early this morning, Kunikida Doppo stuffed a newspaper and kicked him out, telling him to "familiarize with Yokohama as soon as possible" so that he can assist Edogawa Ranpo in handling the case in the future.

Atsushi Nakajima walked through Yokohama all day, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had turned to the section of the embankment where he met Osamu Dazai.

Because it is the edge of the city, there are no buildings in this area, and there are very few pedestrians.

The right side of the road is surrounded by a pure black European-style fence. In the flowerbed, there are some not-so-expensive but pleasing flowering plants. The road is clean and the shrubs on both sides are trimmed very neatly.

Under the halo of golden sunlight, the scenery is bright and full of vitality.

Atsushi Nakajima looked at the sinking sun, lowered his head and found his location on the map.

"Going forward is the cemetery..."

Before he had time to look at other areas around him, the keen sense of hearing brought by the special ability "Beast under the Moon" made him realize that there was a strange sound in the water on the left.

The boy quickly turned his head and took a deep breath after seeing the situation in the middle of the clear water.

On the sparkling water, a figure is rising and falling with the waves.

Atsushi Nakajima: "???!!"

——Someone fell into the water! ! ! !

He rubbed his eyes desperately, and after repeated confirmations, he was finally sure that the unknown creature floating in the river was not his hallucination. After that, he almost rushed down the embankment at the fastest speed, and then jumped into the water to save people.

The river water in the afternoon is not icy cold, but it still carries a refreshing chill.

Three minutes later, Atsushi Nakajima, who was wet and drowned, was lying on the grass by the bank panting, with the young drowning man beside him.

In order to prevent the other party from being frightened by the supernatural power, Atsushi Nakajima did not use the power of tiger transformation when he first rescued people, so it was inevitable that he would be a little uncomfortable being choked by the water.

"Did you save me?" A strange voice came from beside my ear.

After speaking, the other party complained in a low voice: "It's so cold."

Atsushi Nakajima turned his head and looked at the young man who had stood up at some point: "Yes,"

The situation was critical just now, he only had time to jump into the water to save someone, and now he has the energy to see the other person's appearance.

The young man was about twenty years old, with a stunning appearance and a thin figure. He was wearing a well-made dark windbreaker, with a silver collar pin inlaid with precious stones pinned to the collar of his shirt, and a very thin pure leather jacket on his hand. black gloves.

Probably because he had just been fished out of the cold water, the young man's exposed skin looked a little pale.

The light brown hair that had been wet by the river water had a platinum-like luster under the sunlight, and transparent water droplets dripped down the hair tip on the grass.

There seemed to be a natural sense of alienation in him, which made it difficult to approach, but this slightly indifferent temperament melted away without a trace under the smile in the young man's eyes.

Atsushi Nakajima hesitated for a moment.

He instinctively felt that the person in front of him carried some extremely dangerous aura.

But this feeling is really unreasonable, and Atsushi Nakajima regards it as his own illusion.

"Thank you, it's really helpful." The young man lowered his head to meet Atsushi Nakajima's eyes and said sincerely.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that you're fine..." Atsushi Nakajima had never received such a direct thank you, and he stumbled for a while, "This--sir, why are you in the water?"

He couldn't help expressing his inner guess: "Could it be that he committed suicide by diving into the water?"

No wonder Atsushi Nakajima thinks so!You must know that a few days ago, he just met Dazai Osamu who committed suicide by drowning himself in this exact same position! ——and also considered by Osamu Dazai as hindering his suicide career.

As the boy said, he raised his head and secretly looked at the person in front of him.

Are people in Yokohama so keen to commit suicide by jumping into the sea? ?

"Suicide? How?" Hearing Atsushi Nakajima's question, the young man tilted his head with a puzzled face.

He probably thought Atsushi Nakajima's words were a bit strange, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

"I fell into the water by accident," the young man shrugged, and then let out a long sigh, "My recent luck is really bad."

He explained: "I came to Yokohama from another place, but I was robbed of my suitcase by robbers not long after I arrived here. Fortunately, I made an appointment to rent a house on the phone before I came here, so I wouldn't have no place to live, but it's a pity. What's more, I got lost all day and didn't find the correct location... Then, when I was on the bridge, a motorcycle suddenly rushed towards me. I tried to avoid the car, but accidentally fell into the water—— I might have drowned like this if you hadn't saved me. It's unfortunate."

Atsushi Nakajima: "...Is this so?"

He thought that living on the street was already miserable, but he didn't expect to meet someone worse than himself.

"Ah, but don't worry, I don't feel sad. Everything happens for a reason, and it's all a choice of fate." The young man said, and his smiling ocher eyes stared at Atsushi Nakajima. , "Besides, if I hadn't experienced what happened before, I wouldn't have met you."

After all, he nodded as if he recognized himself, and looked at Atsushi Nakajima with a smile: "Well, maybe I went through those things just to meet you."

Atsushi Nakajima was confused, but he could see that the other party's mentality was still optimistic, so he didn't say anything.

"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Kazama Kazukawa, I'm a low-level astrologer," the young man rested his right hand on his chin, his voice was gentle, "Young man, what's your name?"

"Atsu, Nakajima Atsu."

Kazuma Kazukawa nodded: "Atsushi Nakajima? Well, I remember - you saved me, I should repay you... It's a pity that all my money was taken away, and now I have There is nothing to thank you for."

Atsushi Nakajima waved his hand quickly: "No, that, I don't need any repayment."

Kazuma Kazukawa ignored his refusal, and after thinking for a moment, he proposed, "How about this? Let me do a divination for you."

Atsushi Nakajima: "Divination?"

Atsushi Nakajima, who has lived in the orphanage all year round, naturally has never done divination. He only heard it mentioned by others when the children in the orphanage were chatting.

It is said that fortunetellers can predict the future through divination, but at its root, it is nothing but illusory things, and even most fortunetellers actually use deception to deceive people.

The life in the orphanage has taught Atsushi Nakajima to recognize the reality. He does not believe in divination.

But Kazuma Kazukawa took the initiative to mention this, and Nakajima Atsushi naturally would not reject the other party's kindness.

Atsushi Nakajima was puzzled: "But don't you need to use props for divination? Like tarot cards or crystal balls..."

——And it is obvious that Kazama and Chuan are now robbed by robbers and have no belongings, and they don't look like they are carrying props.

"Is it true that when you mention divination, you will have such an association?" Kazama Kazukawa said distressedly, "Actually, not all divination requires props."

"Don't you need it?" Nakajima Atsushi said in surprise, and then he was a little at a loss, "Sorry!! I don't know much about it."

"You don't need to apologize, I'm pretty much used to it... Rather, because I was often asked 'why didn't I use the Tarot cards' in divination before, I even learned Tarot... Sure enough, such things as divination Is the sense of ritual better?" Kazama and Chuanxiang said to themselves.

After all, he looked at Atsushi Nakajima: "For this divination, you only need to tell me your birthday and place of birth."

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "That... I don't know my birthday."

"I don't know?" Kazama Kazukawa looked at him in surprise.

"I am an orphan and I have been living in an orphanage before."

Most of the children in the orphanage were abandoned, and many of them did not know the specific date of birth, but took the date of entering the orphanage as their birthday, and Atsushi Nakajima was no exception.

Kazama Kazukawa understood: "I see, I'm sorry."

Atsushi Nakajima nodded and said, "Well...don't worry about it."

But even so, it made him a little uncomfortable to say these things in front of strangers.

Kazama Kazukawa asked, "Were you born in Yokohama?"

Atsushi Nakajima was stunned for a moment: "No, probably Fujisawa City."

"What about age?"

"..."

The young man nodded and said "Yes", walked up to Atsushi Nakajima, leaned over to examine the latter's face carefully.

He suddenly approached, and Atsushi Nakajima stiffened, almost instinctively wanting to back away.

Before this, he had never been in such close contact with anyone - at such a distance, he could even feel the breath of Kazama Kazukawa.

Before Atsushi Nakajima asked aloud, Kazama and Kawa distanced themselves.

The young man lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyes in thought, and said softly, "Well, white hair, bright yellow eyes, and such an appearance... Your rising point probably falls in Leo, right? The third house is Libra, then Scorpio, Sagittarius .

"The luck is not going well, but it seems that there will be a big change in the later period. My character is a little timid, but I don't lack courage, and I am willing to help others."

After finishing speaking, Kazama and Chuan paused, their fingers pressed together, and they turned to Atsushi Nakajima with a smile: "If there is no mistake, your birthday is probably May--the [-]th, right? The time should be from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am between."

Listening to his words, Atsushi Nakajima changed from being dazed at the beginning to full of astonishment: "My birthday is May [-]th?? How do you know?"

Although the exact date is unknown, the director of the orphanage once mentioned to Atsushi Nakajima that his birthday is likely to be in May.

This greatly improved the credibility of Kazama Kazukawa's words.

But it was the first time he met Kazama and Chuan Mingming, how did the other party know this thing that even he didn't know?

"This is just a basic calculation." Kazama and Chuan On said, "The time and place of birth will have a great impact on a person's life, and this effect will also be reflected in a person's appearance."

The young man stretched out his hand, pointing at various parts of Atsushi Nakajima's body with his fingertips dangling, and the latter stood there helplessly.

"—Chest, back, head and neck, flanks, arms, cheekbones, spine, teeth... Among the zodiac houses, the third to fifth houses have the greatest influence on a person's appearance, so conversely, as long as you use your appearance The revealed information can be used to deduce the approximate location of the constellation, and then you can calculate your birthday, of course, this is not accurate."

"It also involves some other knowledge as an aid. If you are interested, I will explain it to you in detail when I have time."

After listening in a daze, Atsushi Nakajima nodded hurriedly after a few seconds: "Yes, thank you."

Atsushi Nakajima never thought that one day he would be able to know his birthday from a stranger—although such speculation sounds unbelievable, Kazukawa’s words are inexplicably wanting to be believed.

Belongs to my "birthday"...

Atsushi Nakajima was slightly absent-minded, with a strange feeling in his heart.

As a child living in an orphanage, birthdays are special to him.

Useless, yet meaningful.

It's getting dark.

The breeze blowing from the water was soft and cold with moisture.

Kazama Kazukawa put his hand into the pocket of the windbreaker, and interrupted Atsushi Nakajima's thoughts: "However, for now, I suggest you be more careful."

Atsushi Nakajima looked at him puzzled.

"If my divination is correct, your life will probably be in danger in the next few days."

The young man was still smiling, and his ocher eyes were somewhat elusive under the gloomy sky.

He said lightly, "If you don't deal with it well, you will probably die, right?"
