Everyone in Yokohama thinks I'm a villain

After nightfall, the sky gradually darkened.The lights on the streets in the city are lit up, and together with the continuous traffic flow, the urban area is lit up, forming a series of criss-crossing golden lines.

Outside of the bustle, the chief office on the top floor of the port mafia building is dimly lit.

In the center of the long mahogany table used for meetings, candles burned in gilded metal candlesticks.The candles flickered out, and the two people who were standing and sitting in the room remained silent.

Mori Ogai finished reading the report submitted by Hirotsu Yanagi, and put his fingers on the desk. After a while, he raised his head leisurely and looked at Nakahara Chuya standing in front of the French window.

"Chuya, what do you think of this incident?"

Nakahara Chuya walked up to Mori Ou and replied, "The operation was very successful."

This battle was more than a success.

In today's battles, people with supernatural abilities are an important resource, and they often play a role in controlling the battle situation.

Take the illusionist at this meeting as an example, because he was too powerful, Mori Ogai was originally prepared for his subordinates to sacrifice.However, with Kazuma and Kawakawa on board, the Port Mafia doesn't have any serious losses this time around, with zero fatalities.

"Kazama-kun even helped me find out the undercover inside the intelligence agency and the gathering place of the CKM remnants," Mori Ogai chuckled, looking up at Nakahara Nakaya's cobalt blue eyes, "and more than that. According to Guang Jin’s report describes their handling of the mission as unbelievably smooth—as if by divine grace, everything around them was turning for the better.”

Nakahara Chuya: "Is it Kazama's ability?"

Mori Ogai smiled: "Yes."

[Astrology Magic] is worthy of being a dangerous ability that even the Special Ability and Secret Service Division fears.

As long as the preconditions are sufficient, Kazama and Kawakawa can control the development of the surrounding things like a god.

Zhongyuan Zhong also shrugged, and sighed dispensably: "As expected of an 'astrologist'."

He had seen Kazama Kazukawa's ability a few years ago, so he wasn't too shocked now.

"Well, it's true—'As expected of an astrologer'." Mori Ogai said with a smile, "Chuya, Kazama-kun possesses talents far beyond ordinary people. Do you know what this means?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at him.

With a restrained smile on Mori Ogai's face, he said slowly: "Obtaining Kazama and Kawakawa is tantamount to letting fate stand behind you."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

After finishing speaking, Mori Ogai seemed to be immersed in his own thinking, and Nakahara didn't reply, and waited quietly.

After 2 minutes, Mori Ogai spoke again, but he said something else: "Chuya, I remember I told you that I hoped you would recruit Kazama-kun to join the port mafia—"

Nakahara Chuya: "...Yes, I met him later, but he refused."

Looking at Mori Ogai's smiling expression, he instinctively felt bad.

Sure enough, in the next second, Mori Ogai pretended to be distressed and said: "It's really strange. Kazama-kun should not be against the port mafia--and now the only Dazai he hates has left, he has no reason to refuse ?

"—I think that as long as Chuya works harder, Kazama-kun will definitely agree to join. With his talent, the position of the five major cadres is completely worthy."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Nakahara also wanted to refuse, but seeing Mori Ogai's serious expression, he had no choice but to say, "I will try my best."

He felt that it was impossible for Kazama Kazukawa to join the port mafia no matter what, but seeing Mori Ogai's appearance, he probably couldn't refuse anyway.

"Yeah." Mori Ogai nodded in satisfaction, and then lowered his eyes, "You must let Kazama-kun join the port mafia."

A few years ago, under the impetus of Natsume Soseki, he participated in the "Three Moment Concept", which made the three parties of the Supernatural Secret Service, the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia stand together to maintain the order in Yokohama.

The proposal was very successful and did bring peace to Yokohama for several years, but the balance was not eternal.

The government approved the "Permission for Opening of Supernatural Powers" for the Port Mafia. Letting the Port Mafia dominate is entirely based on the same interests of both parties. will become the target of public criticism.

As the leader of the Port Mafia, he must ensure that the Port Mafia has enough capital to fight against the Special Agents.

And the current power alone is obviously not enough.

He needs help and needs more cards.

He lost Osamu Dazai four years ago.So now, he must get the card of Kazama and Chuan.

The former "Doctor Mori" and today's port mafia leader looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring at the city outside the window, and finally stretched out his hand, holding the bustling street scene in his palm.

Say the other side.

After everything was dealt with, Hirotsu Yanagi took people to deal with the remnants of CKM, then returned to the port mafia to report to the leader, and then Akutagawa Ryunosuke sent Kazama and Kawa back to Sakuragicho.

At this time, Ryunosuke Akutagawa still felt a subtle embarrassment because of Kazama Kazukawa's sentence "You can't do it".

Kazama Kazukawa suddenly received a call from Atsushi Nakajima.

The astrologer answered the phone and asked in a gentle voice, "May [-]th?" It was completely impossible to see that he wanted to kidnap Atsushi Nakajima and use him to threaten Osamu Dazai half an hour ago.

On the other end of the phone, Atsushi Nakajima, who was almost victimized, knew nothing about it.Seeing that Kazama and Chuan answered the phone, he hurriedly said nervously: "Mr. Kazama, there is another murder case - according to the police, two people were found murdered this afternoon, and the blood words 'Conviction' were left at the scene of the death." , and the last case should be the same prisoner."

--coming.

When the last case happened, Kazama and Chuan knew that the criminal would definitely commit the crime again, but he didn't expect the other party to act so soon.

Kazama and Chuan thought for a moment, then said to Atsushi Nakajima: "Well, I see. Can you tell me the address of the crime scene?"

"Yes," Nakajima Atsushi called Kazama Kazukawa at the instruction of Edogawa Ranpo, the purpose is to tell Kazama Kazukawa the situation at the scene, and the address will naturally not be hidden.

He hastily reported a string of addresses.

Kazuma Kazukawa said that he remembered it, and then said: "Then we will see you later on the spot."

After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Atsushi Nakajima to reply.

On the other side, Atsushi Nakajima held the phone that was hung up, and it took him a while to recall the last words of Kazuma Kazukawa - "see you later"?

Did Mr. Kazama think that I was the one who went to the scene this time? !

Atsushi Nakajima turned his head stiffly and looked at Osamu Dazai, who was smiling and talking about unknown content with Ranpo Edogawa, almost wanting to hug his head and groan.

No, Mr. Kazama, it is not.This time the Armed Detective Agency went to the scene to investigate Mr. Dazai.

It would be a disaster for these two people to collide!

Since he was going to the scene of the crime, Kazama and Kawakawa did not continue to go in the direction of Sakuragi Town.

Moreover, he considered that he would meet Atsushi Nakajima later, and it was obviously not suitable for Atsushi Nakajima and Ryunosuke Akutagawa to meet, so he asked Ryunosuke Akutagawa to return to the port mafia.

The latter can naturally hear the voice of Atsushi Nakajima on the other end of the phone, and he is very disdainful to the other party - of course Ryunosuke Akutagawa doesn't mind fighting with Atsushi Nakajima, but in front of Kazuma Kazukawa Not very suitable - so he left without saying a word.

Half an hour later, a taxi stopped in front of an apartment in Yokohama.

Kazama Kazukawa opened the car door and got out of the car. When he wanted to enter the apartment, he was stopped by the guards outside the door.

The policeman apologized slightly: "Sorry, there was a murder case in the apartment. For the sake of safety, non-residents of this building are temporarily refused to enter. If you are a resident here, please show relevant proof."

Kazama Kazukawa took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Atsushi Nakajima downstairs, and said, "I'm with the investigator from the Armed Detective Agency..."

Before he finished speaking, a familiar figure came out of the apartment and waved his hands: "Yes, Mr. Police Officer, he is with me."

The policeman turned his head to look, and immediately withdrew his actions to block Kazama and Kawairui: "I see, thank you for your hard work."

The visitor smiled and said, "Well, everything should be done."

After all, he looked at Kazama and Chuan: "I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

Kazuma Kazukawa: "...Why are you here?"

Osamu Dazai's smile remained unchanged: "After all, you are still a 'special person'." Concerned about the police officers at the side, he specially replaced the word "wanted criminal" with "special person".

"For the safety of Yokohama, it is necessary to keep an eye on your actions."

Kazama and Chuan responded with a sneer: "Really? That's fine. I just want to know what your plan is."

The astrologer stared at Dazai Osamu's face for two seconds, and finally went upstairs with him reluctantly.

The location of this apartment is average, and the overall style is old-fashioned, even worse than the one that Kazama Kazukawa rented in Sakuragicho.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the cheap wallpaper and the dry and yellowed wall covering with exposed edges.Even the handrails on both sides of the only staircase in the apartment are faded and rusted.

The crime scene is located in Room [-] on the fourth floor, which is the first room on the left after going upstairs.

Kazama Kazukawa stood still in front of the door, staring at the blood-stained doorknob without moving.

Dazai shrugged and stepped forward to open the door for him.

In the middle of the room lay the corpse of a middle-aged man, and the ground was covered with blood.Probably because it has been a long time since the crime happened, the blood has almost dried up, showing a dirty black color.

The smell of blood, the smell of rotting corpses, and the damp, musty smell of the house were sickening.

Kazama Kazukawa frowned, and after entering the house, he saw the word "Conviction" on the left wall.

Same as the first case, these two characters were written in blood, crookedly attached to the wall, weird and hideous.

The difference between the two cases is that this time the deceased's limbs were not mutilated, but his eyes were gouged out by the murderer.

Kazama Kazukawa took a closer look. As far as the state of the deceased's body was concerned, he should have had his eyes gouged out while he was alive, that is, in a state of conscious awareness.

The cruelty of the criminal's methods can be seen.

"The name of the deceased in this incident was Saburo Tanaka, a banker, also known as an 'elite'." Dazai Osamu explained, "Although he was killed here, in fact this is not his residence."

Kazama and Kawakawa responded dispensably.

That didn't surprise him.After all, the suit that Saburo Tanaka is wearing is a haute couture product, and the watch on his wrist is also worth more than 100 million yen.

It is also known that the deceased could never have lived in such an apartment.

Kazama Kazukawa stood up: "Then why did he die here?"

"Mr. Tanaka came here yesterday and had an evil intention towards a lady who lived here, and was killed by the murderer who followed behind." Osamu Dazai said, "The lady was rescued by the murderer at the time of the incident and fled in a hurry. Afterwards, he probably wanted to cover up his savior—or for other reasons, he didn’t call the police immediately, and he didn’t call the police until today when he returned to the residence and saw the scene.”

Kazama Kazukawa glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, and said indifferently, "Has this Mr. Tanaka ever had a criminal record?"

Osamu Dazai nodded: "Well, a year ago he used the same method to commit a crime against a high school student, and eventually killed him. But three months ago, the court did not rule on the grounds that he was mentally unstable at the time. Criminal punishment against him."

Speaking of this, Kazama and Chuan certainly knew the cause and effect of this incident.

Saburo Tanaka committed such a crime but escaped punishment. The criminal who aimed to "convict the crime" naturally did not want to spare him, so he focused on this goal.

Then, while the prisoner was following Saburo Tanaka, the latter repeated his tricks and tried to commit violence against another victim, and was finally killed by the prisoner in this apartment.

Kazuma Kazukawa did not comment on the case, but asked Osamu Dazai: "Your Majesty said that two cases occurred on May [-]th. What is the scene of the other case?"

"Another case happened in a Porsche under the viaduct, and there were also two blood words 'Convicted' at the scene," Osamu Dazai said, paused, and turned to Kazama and Kawakawa, "Then, the body of the deceased The tongue was cut off."

Kazama and Kawakawa were taken aback: "Tongue?"

He looked up again at the blood writing on the wall: "So it is."

Armed Detective Agency.

Since sending Osamu Dazai out of the house, Atsushi Nakajima has been very nervous, for fear that he will receive a call after a while saying that Kazama Kazukawa and Osamu Dazai are at the scene of the crime to create another murder.

Edogawa Ranpo, on the other hand, is still very leisurely lying on the sofa eating snacks and reading four-panel comics.

——By the way, after visiting the Armed Detective Agency and losing the shogi game last time, Kazama Kazukawa fulfilled his promise, so the snacks that Edogawa Ranpo eats now are all provided by Kazama Kazukawa.Probably because of this, the famous detective is in a very happy mood recently.

Fortunately, Atsushi Nakajima's concerns did not become a reality.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, when Atsushi Nakajima was yawning on the table, the door of the Armed Detective Agency was pushed open.

Kazama and Kawa are back with Osamu Dazai.

"Mr. Kazama!" Atsushi Nakajima was pleasantly surprised.

After that, he looked at the time with some doubts, and asked the two of them: "Is it over so soon?"

He remembered that the two crime scenes were far apart this time, and it took a lot of effort just to go back and forth.

Osamu Dazai shook his head: "We only went to the scene of Jinjing's apartment. There shouldn't be any important clues on the other side. It's not too late to investigate tomorrow."

He smiled and said, "But the identity of the prisoner is already clear."

"Already know who the murderer is?!"

Osamu Dazai: "Well, the murderer has revealed his identity openly and squarely."

Atsushi Nakajima didn't have time to be surprised, he saw Kazama and Chuan walking towards Edogawa Ranpo, and said to the latter, "This time, the two deceased had their eyes gouged out and their tongues cut off by the murderer."

Edogawa paused in turning the pages of the newspaper in Luanbo, sat up, and there was a trace of understanding in his blue eyes: "I see."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

How do you know again?
