Kazama Kazukawa, who was staying in Sakuragicho, didn't know that he was missed by Edogawa Ranpo. He was accompanying the landlord to say hello to the neighbors living nearby.

It was already night when he and Atsushi Nakajima arrived here the day before yesterday. In order to give him enough time to tidy up the sundries, the landlord gave him the key and didn't say anything more.

This afternoon, the enthusiastic landlord came to the door specially, and took Kazama and Chuan to visit the neighbors living nearby.

This area is not close to any big commercial center, so it does seem a bit deserted - of course, if it weren't for this reason, black households like Kazama and Chuan would not be able to rent apartments here.

Because of this, most of the people living here are elderly people or families who are forced to make ends meet.

Kazama and Chuan visited all the way, and gained the favor of countless people.

His appearance is extremely good, and he seems to be a very gentle and harmless type, which happens to be the kind of junior that the elderly like most.

Coupled with Kazama Kazukawa's polite and courteous performance, and the persona who came to Yokohama to settle alone, he immediately won the love of countless old people.

Many neighbors immediately expressed that he was welcome to come to their house as a guest at any time, such as they would not mind cooking an extra dinner for one person.After hearing that Kazama and Chuan were going to open an astrology office, they also enthusiastically said that they would help him introduce customers.

Kazama and Chuan responded one by one, and when he returned to the apartment building, he smiled and said to the landlord Sato Hayato: "The residents in this neighborhood are very friendly, it's great."

The young man's overly beautiful ochre-colored eyes dazed the latter, and he coughed uncomfortably after two seconds: "Well, of course, I have been living here since I was born, and the neighbors around me are very kind. people."

Mentioning this point, Sato Hayato is honored.

After all, Sato Hayato told Kazama Kazukawa: "You may encounter a lot of troubles living alone, if you encounter difficult problems, you can come to me or Mr. Xinxiang next door. Very accommodating and will definitely help you a lot.”

In the middle of speaking, he looked around, and after seeing no one, he quietly lowered his voice: "There is one more thing."

Kazuma Kazukawa looked at him suspiciously.

"You just came to Yokohama. Have you heard that there is a famous mafia in Yokohama?"

Kazama Kazukawa understood, nodded and said, "Is it the 'Port Mafia'?"

"Yes," Sato Hayato replied, "I don't know what the rumors you heard are like, but you must remember that the Port Mafia is really a very, very dangerous organization, and you must not provoke them easily."

He sighed: "Actually, I said this to remind you to pay attention to safety-wasn't there a resident who was not at home when we went to the back street just now? The person who lives there is called Ninomiyahara, and he seems to be a port mafia He seldom shows up, but if you accidentally bump into him, you must be very careful. Although he looks easy to talk to at ordinary times, he is a mafia after all."

Sato seemed to be quite afraid of this as early as he ordered it.

Kazama Kazukawa pondered for a moment, and found that he had no impression of the name Ninomiyahara.

The other party should be just an ordinary member of the port mafia.

In all fairness, if the person living next door is Dazai Osamu, Kazama and Kawakawa would probably pay more attention to it—of course, this kind of "importance" is probably not the same as what the landlord understands—but if it were ordinary members, Kazama and Kawakawa would I don't care at all.

So he didn't say much, nodded and thanked Sato Hayato: "Well, thank you for your reminder, I will definitely be more careful."

The young man looked calm, and he didn't seem to take this reminder to heart.

This made Sato Hayato shake his head secretly in his heart.

The port mafia are all vicious people, I hope Kazuma Kazukawa will not provoke them.

the next day.

Because of visiting the neighbors one by one, the residents in the neighborhood now know that there is an astrology office on the 13th floor, and the owner is a young man with a gentle personality who has just turned 20 years old.

But if you know it, you know it, but none of the customers came to the door.

In today's society where materialism is absolutely dominant, there are very few people who believe in divination.Originally, this kind of thing is still a little popular among young people, but unfortunately there are not many young people in this area, and Kazukawa's office is unavoidable.

Kazama Kazukawa regretted this a bit, but decided to let nature take its course.

Today is the same as yesterday, and no customers came to the door until the afternoon.

Kazama and Chuan nestled on the sofa in the reception room, flipping through the old magazines they found while sorting out the sundries.

Compared with when I first came here, the office has been cleaned up a lot. There are several pots of green succulents on the coffee table, and a lot of utensils such as signature pens or printers have been added to the room.The whole house no longer looks as cold as before, and it looks like no one lives there.

There is even a small cat mat specially placed in the corner.

After reading the magazine, I was really bored at the end, so Kazama Kazukawa turned out the tarot card sent by the unknown person again, staring at the pattern on it in a daze.

The "Reaper" card is one of the 22 major Arcana cards in the Tarot. Different from the literal meaning, this card symbolizes death while also containing vitality. It is a very peculiar card.

However, according to Kazama Kazukawa's experience, the person who sent this card to him probably didn't consider the meaning of the card, and the other party sent "Reaper" simply because he wanted his own life.

But the sender did not take any action after he arrived in Yokohama, and Mori Ogai did not investigate any news, so this matter was temporarily put on hold by him.

Kazama Kazukawa sighed, turned to look at Sanhuamao squatting on the desk, and complained: "Natsume-sensei, you are so boring."

The cat glanced up at him in a most humane way, then turned around safely, curling up into a ball.

It seemed that she didn't want to talk to him.

Kazuma Kazukawa: "..."

This is what Atsushi Nakajima saw when he knocked on the door of the office.

The young man with brown hair and ocher eyes stared resentfully at the three-flowered cat squatting on the desk, as if the other party had done something to apologize to him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Kazama. Do you have a cat?" Atsushi Nakajima looked at the three-colored cat and tilted his head.

"Ah, it's May [-]th, good afternoon."

When Kazama and Chuan looked over, they were surprised at first, and then smiled, "Well, this cat will probably live here for a while—did you come here today for the previous divination?"

May [-]th sir? ?

Atsushi Nakajima was stunned for several seconds before realizing that the "May [-]th-kun" Kazama and Kawaguchi were referring to was him.

The other party seemed to have simply forgotten his name and chose to call himself by his birthday.

If it were someone else, it would probably be inexplicable, but Atsushi Nakajima accepted it well.

—to ask why, because he had seen a lot of weirdos in the Armed Detective Agency.

In contrast, Kazama and Kawakawa couldn't be more normal.

"No, it seems that the danger of Mr. Kazama's divination hasn't happened yet." Atsushi Nakajima said.

With Edogawa Ranpo's certification, Atsushi Nakajima's original skeptical attitude has also changed to thinking that he may really be in danger.

But Atsushi Nakajima did not come to Kazama Kazukawa this time because of the previous divination.

It was rare for the Armed Detective Agency to clear up the accumulated cases today, and all the members of the agency were also on vacation.

Atsushi Nakajima has no relatives in Yokohama. Apart from the members of the Armed Detective Agency, the only people he knows are Kazuma Kazukawa.

Because Kazuma Kazukawa had mentioned that he planned to open an astrology office, Atsushi Nakajima thought that there might be something that needed help, so he simply came here.

Thinking of this, Atsushi Nakajima glanced at the deserted astrology office in front of him again.

But judging from the current situation, there are no customers here, and most of them don't need help.

"Well, since there is danger, it's better to take precautions as much as possible." Kazama Kazukawa thought, "Choose a number between one and ten for me."

Atsushi Nakajima: "Hey,"

He hesitated for a while, and tentatively asked, "Then... seven?"

"Seven?" Kazama and Kawakawa murmured in a low voice, paced in the reception room, and looked at Atsushi Nakajima after a while, "Then I will give you a piece of advice."

The young man's voice was calm: "For three days, don't go near the 'well'."

After finishing speaking, Kazama and Chuan did not explain further.

Atsushi Nakajima was still thinking about why he stayed away from the well, and Kazama and Kazukawa asked curiously: "If it wasn't because of divination, why did Atsushi come here today?"

Atsushi Nakajima looked away, and his voice became lower and lower: "...I wanted to help you." But unexpectedly, there was no customer in the office.

It's so embarrassing.

Kazama Kazukawa said with difficulty: "...So that's how it is."

The young man sighed and spread his hands helplessly: "As you can see, there are really not many people here now. It has been open for several days, but there is not even a single visitor."

Atsushi Nakajima said hastily: "Well, after hearing about you, my colleague really wants to come here to ask you for divination. She will come here after a while."

This is the truth.

Recently, Naomi Tanizaki has been very enthusiastic about the astrologer that Atsushi Nakajima mentioned. This time, when she heard that Atsushi Nakajima was coming, she even wanted to come with him, but unfortunately, she had other things at the moment. To deal with, finally had to give up.

Kazama and Chuan smiled: "Really?! Then thank you in advance."

They were talking when there was a knock on the door.

Atsushi Nakajima hurried to open the door.

The person who came was an old man over half a century old, with gray temples, but a tough figure, and he looked very energetic.

But probably hiding something on his mind, a layer of worry shrouded his brows.

Kazuma Kazukawa recalled for a while, and recognized the other party as one of the neighbors who lived in the back street, and his surname was Yukimura.

During the chat, the landlord, Kazuma Kazukawa, mentioned this Mr. Yukimura. It is said that his grandson went to school at the High School Affiliated to Lihai University, served as the head of the tennis department, and even won the championship in the national competition.

However, according to the landlord's description, the child's physical condition does not seem to be very good... He is currently hospitalized.

Kazama Kazukawa invited the other party to sit down in the reception room: "Mr. Yukimura, do you want to do divination?"

"Yes," this Yukimura-san asked, "if I'm not here, can I do divination?"

"My grandson is going to have a very important operation and I'm worried."

Kazama and Kawakawa replied with a smile: "Of course."
