The rental house of Kazama and Chuanzu is located at No. 13 in the old street of Sakuragicho.

Sakuragicho is one of the busiest areas in Yokohama. Being able to get lost all the way from the city center to this place, which is more suburban than the suburbs, shows Kazama Kazukawa's level of road idiot.

In line with the idea of ​​helping people to the end, Atsushi Nakajima accompanied Kazuma Kazukawa to that address on purpose.

—By the way, since Kazuma Kazukawa is currently penniless, Nakajima Atsushi paid for the tram fare.

When the two arrived at Sakuragi Town, the sky had gradually turned dark, and a few stars could already be glimpsed on the sky.

There are many high-rise buildings in the city and traffic is busy. Although the night is not dark, the commercial buildings along the street have already been lit up. The bright lights of various colors are mixed with the neon lights on the street to form a bustling street scene.

There is a huge map sign outside the tram station, but the reason why the old block is called the old block is not unreasonable. In recent years, Japan's economy has developed rapidly, and the buildings in Yokohama have undergone many renovations. The block in Jianhe Chuankouzhong has long since disappeared in the new urban planning.

In the end, the map that Atsushi Nakajima had been carrying all the time played a role. The two went around and after a lot of effort, they finally found a neighborhood with a sense of the times in the entire modern city.

Low locust trees are planted on both sides of the road in the block, and the branches are stretched and interlaced, lush and lush.

The five-story building made of red bricks and tiles bears the traces of rainwater erosion. The house is surrounded by rusty metal fences, and two rows of vibrant bluegrass are planted in the garden.

The moment he walked into the alley, Atsushi Nakajima thought he had time-traveled: "It's amazing..."

Before seeing this block, Atsushi Nakajima never thought that there was such a place in the urban area of ​​Yokohama.

It is simply a shadow of the old days of the city.

The two chatted as they walked into the block to find the number 13 sign.

"Mr. Kazama, is there anything to do in Yokohama this time?" Atsushi Nakajima asked.

Kazuma Kazukawa said before that he came to Yokohama from another place, but he didn't say the reason.

In the past, Atsushi Nakajima would never ask the whereabouts of a stranger, but maybe Kazuma Kazukawa gave people a very special feeling, or maybe the divination he showed was too magical, Atsushi Nakajima was very impressed. Kazama and Kawa were a little curious about the reason why they came to Yokohama.

"It's not a reason worth mentioning," the young man with tea-haired ocher eyes leisurely walked on the paved sidewalk, "I plan to open an astrology office in Yokohama."

"Is it because of this..." Atsushi Nakajima was very surprised.

After all, as we all know, the law and order in Yokohama is not very good.

Yokohama used to be the residential area of ​​the stationed king in the old days. When the times changed, it became a joint concession, but it still has a huge overseas consular influence.

The law and order in the territory is nominally maintained by the Japanese military police and the consulate police, but in fact the legal boundaries here are extremely blurred, and there are countless gray areas.It was even called the "Magic City" by the outside world at one time.

Although there have been great improvements in recent years due to government adjustments and the involvement of some NGOs, it is undeniable that Yokohama is still a very dangerous place compared to it.

Under such circumstances, it is really surprising that he came to Yokohama from other places to open an astrology office.

"No. 13, right here?" Kazama Kazukawa stopped in front of a building and looked up into the courtyard.

After confirming that it was correct, Kazama and Chuan went to knock on the door and found the landlord who lived here.

Although there was nothing to prove his identity, but fortunately the landlord recognized Kazama Kazukawa's face, and he got the key to the office without much fuss.

When he went out, Atsushi Nakajima was standing outside the door, looking at the surrounding environment of the block.

Seeing Kazama Kazukawa come out, Nakajima Atsushi said: "If you want to open an astrology office, won't it be affected in such a location?"

He looked all the way and found that there were not many residents nearby.

Moreover, things like astrology are often more popular in the circle of young people. Kazama and Chuan opened a shop in this kind of place, which makes people doubt whether there will be customers coming to the door.

Kazama and Chuan hooked their fingers on the key ring and shrugged helplessly: "This is inevitable. After all, in this era, there are not many houses that can be rented without a certificate."

Atsushi Nakajima was keenly aware of the words "document not required": "??"

Atsushi Nakajima has not been out of the orphanage for a long time, and he has not met many people, but he still has some basic common sense!

At the very least, in his cognition, a person who cannot provide identification is very likely to be linked to some dangerous things.

Murder, smuggling, human trafficking, drug trafficking...

hiss--

Atsushi Nakajima quickly stopped the wild thoughts in his mind, and turned his head to look at Kazama Kazukawa tremblingly.

The young man smiled gently, as if he didn't feel that he had said anything serious.

Atsushi Nakajima felt embarrassed, feeling that he should have thought too much.

Mr. Kazama is a very gentle person at first glance, how could he have anything to do with those dangerous things?

On the contrary, it is oneself, guessing others without authorization, and making subjective assumptions, it is really rude.

Atsushi Nakajima was very ashamed. Fortunately, Kazama Kazukawa did not notice his thoughts, but just smiled slightly: "By the way, about the previous divination. If you need help, you can come to me here at any time. Even if It's an extra service to a lifesaver."

Only then did Nakajima Atsushi recall the previous divination.

—— Kazuma Kazukawa said that his life would be in danger in the future.

Atsushi Nakajima really didn't believe in divination, but when these words came out of Kazama and Chuan's mouth, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The boy nodded: "Yes."

The two of them spent a lot of time looking for the address in Sakuragi Town. Now it was going to be night, and Atsushi Nakajima wanted to rush back to the dormitory of the detective agency, so he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

After Atsushi Nakajima left, Kazama and Kawakawa walked slowly up the corridor.

The content of the conversation between Kazuma Kazukawa and Atsushi Nakajima is true or false. The true is that he is indeed an astrologer, and the false is that he did not "come" to Yokohama. To be precise, "back" is more appropriate .

Kazuma Kazukawa has lived in Yokohama since he was a child, and he left for some complicated reasons until four years ago.

As expected, there should be many "old friends" of him in Yokohama, but in order to avoid trouble, Kazukawa did not want to contact them.

Going up the stairs, the first two floors are not bad, but when you get to the sixth floor, where no one has lived in for a long time, a dusty smell with a mild musty smell hits your face.

Kazama Kazukawa sighed, and as if resigned to his fate, he opened the lock with the key, reached out to hold the rusty doorknob, and pushed the door open.

Compared to the corridor, the interior of the room is fairly tidy, but that's all.When Kazama and Kawa raised their heads, they could still vaguely see the spider web hanging on the corner of the wall.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, with only a wooden desk and simple living room furnishings.The space here is very spacious. The entire wall facing the street is made into a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, you can see the tall buildings and the dazzling night scene in the distance.

The young man still looked disgusted. He looked around the room and suddenly found a dark brown suitcase in the corner of the room.

This is exactly the one that was taken away by the robbers that he mentioned to Atsushi Nakajima before.

The young man stared at the box for two seconds, then raised the corners of his lips, stepped forward, and opened the suitcase.

There were quite a lot of things originally packed inside, as if the robbers snatched the suitcase from him to help him transport it in advance.

Kazuma Kazukawa moved his eyes to the right and saw the mobile phone next to the box.

It's a brand new phone that doesn't look like anyone has used it yet.

Kazama and Chuan picked up the phone, opened it, and found the address book, only to find that there was only an unfamiliar number in it.

interesting.

He didn't mention it to anyone when he returned to Yokohama this time, and someone came to him so quickly.

After a little thought, Kazama and Chuan dialed the phone.

Didi's notification sound was halfway through, and a voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Kazama-kun, long time no see."

——The current boss of the Port Mafia, Mori Ogai.

After a moment of silence, Kazama Kazukawa smiled: "It's really been a long time, Mr. Mori."

Holding the phone in one hand, the young man took a few steps back and sat on the desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. He said with great interest, "It's surprising that you contact me in this way."

"Really? It's my honor to surprise Kazama-kun." Mori Ogai laughed.

"Did you send the suitcase here?"

"Yes, my subordinate ran into the gangster who snatched this suitcase when I was working, but I didn't expect it to be Kazama-kun's thing-I was surprised for a long time when I heard the name."

Kazama and Kawa didn't reply.

There were his documents and the address of the rental house in the suitcase, and it would make sense to say that Mori Ogai got the information through this.

But if we really want to get to the bottom of the matter, I'm afraid he got the information as soon as he entered Mori Ogai.

The intelligence network of the port mafia has developed to this extent.

Kazama Kazukawa didn't bother with the truth: "Well, then thank you for helping me find the lost property."

"Effortless." Mori Ogai smiled and pointed out, "But I didn't expect the 'Astrologer' to return to Yokohama at this time. If this news spreads, many people should be unable to sit still." ?Especially the Supernatural Secret Service Division.”

"Who knows? I have nothing to do with the Supernatural Secret Service."

"Maybe that's not what the Ability Secret Service Division thinks about it." Mori Ogai said euphemistically.

The young man clasped his left hand on the table and looked up at the tall buildings looming in the distance in the night: "Mr. Mori, you didn't contact me just to talk about these things, did you? And I don't have much history with you to talk about."

There was a pause for a few seconds, and a low laugh came from the other side of the phone: "As expected of Kazama-kun, then I will speak directly. Although I don't know the purpose of Kazama-kun's return to Yokohama this time, but from your standpoint, if It should be very difficult for people from the government to find out their whereabouts.

"How? If Kazama-kun is willing, the port mafia welcomes you at any time—I remember that you and Chuya got along pretty well back then."

Kazama Kazukawa didn't want to directly refuse: "I can't bear the crime of joining the port mafia."

Mori Ogai laughed: "Kazama-kun obviously defected to the Supernatural Secret Service back then, but now you still worry about such a crime?"

"It's something of a different nature."

Kazama Kazukawa stretched out his left hand, looked at his fingers, and said lazily, "Besides, with Dazai Osamu around, I will never join the Port Mafia. If I want to work with him, I might as well go back to the other You can surrender yourself to the Secret Service.”

Mori Ogai was stunned for some reason: "Dazai-kun? I see...you don't know yet."

Kazama Kazukawa raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what? Could it be that Dazai Osamu finally succeeded in committing suicide? That's really gratifying."

Mori Ogai played tricks: "No, it's nothing. I think Kazama-kun will find out soon."

Kazama Kazukawa felt that there was something in Mori Ogai's words, but he probably couldn't get a result even if he asked, so he simply put it aside.

He thought for a while, and said to Mori Ogai, "I want to ask the Hong Kong gangsters to investigate something."

He took out a tarot card from the suitcase under his feet and held it between his fingers.

The back of the card is pure black, with a mysterious alchemical pattern outlined in silver thread.

On the front is a man in a black robe holding a sickle. His back is hunched, revealing a very unnatural sense of weirdness.

——This is a "Reaper" card.

And unlike those cheap cards with rough workmanship on the market, this card is quite exquisite in workmanship, and it seems to be a specially ordered limited product.

Of course, the special feature of this card is not how it is made, but its origin.

"Last week, someone who called himself Akigase sent me a tarot card and 'invited' me to Yokohama. Can you help me find out who he is?"

Kazama Kazukawa received the "Grim Reaper" card at the hotel where he was staying.The eerie Death card was nailed into the table with a letter opener, and beside it was the letter inviting him to Yokohama.

——It can be said to be the standard opening of a horror movie.

But Kazama and Kawakawa ignored it at the time.

After so many years, there are countless people who want to trouble him. This time, at most, this person got to know his residence through some special channel, and he has no obligation to respond to the other party because of this.

Therefore, that tarot card was directly thrown into the trash can by Kazama Kazukawa.

Unexpectedly, the next day, this Tarot card was sent to Kazuma Kazukawa again, and along with it came the hotel owner's three severed fingers.

It doesn't matter what happens to Kazama and Kawakawa himself, but it's a little difficult for the other party to hurt someone who has nothing to do with it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to come to Yokohama as the other party said.

"Tarot cards? To actually show off these things in front of Kazama-kun, it's really..." Mori Ogai didn't say anything more, and directly responded to the matter, "I will send someone to investigate .”

With the value behind Kazama Kazukawa's name, Mori Ogai doesn't mind selling him a few more favors.
