When the double black penetrates the if line

"Yes."

Kunikida looked directly into Osamu Dazai's eyes, without any hesitation, he said with certainty.

He picked up a stack of documents from the table at hand, and unfolded them one by one, "The leader, Osamu Dazai, first acted about a year ago."

On the first piece of paper spread out, there is a bustling neighborhood that is very familiar in the Central Plains.There is no doubt that this is one of the liveliest neighborhoods in Yokohama, and Nakahara himself has been there many times.

"That action took place on Sunday night." Kunikida said calmly and indifferently, without any emotion in his voice, "At that time, everyone was very relaxed because of the passing of a weekend, and returned home with joy and fatigue. , the entire city of Yokohama fell into a peaceful and peaceful sleep. Then, around one to two in the morning, boom—"

He pointed at the second piece of paper that was spread out with his finger. It was obviously still the original street, but this time there was only a piece of ruins left.

Although the photos are in color, the ruins of the streets after the bombing are colorless. Now only fragments of bricks and tiles and dilapidated walls remain in the bustling streets that used to be full of feasting and feasting.Even the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, which was so gloomy and depressing.

When Kunikida said this, he paused for a moment, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes: "And that's it, it was only half a minute from the start of the explosion to the awakening of everyone, but when we went to check the next morning By the time that happened, the neighborhood had disappeared.”

"It was reduced to ruins and completely disappeared from Yokohama."

Kunikida's narration was very short and straightforward, but Nakahara Chu could also imagine the picture.

In the originally peaceful night, there was suddenly gunpowder smoke, fire, the roar of explosions, and even the ground trembled.

Countless people woke up in a hurry from their sleep, and countless people slept in that restless night forever.The loss of life and the spread of panic spread from that block together, like a plague that came in a hurry, and soon swept across the entire city of Yokohama.

Zhong Yuanzhong also controlled himself, but still couldn't help shivering slightly.

Not because of the fear of Osamu Dazai's insane behavior in this world, but simply out of emotion and awe for the fragility and dissipation of life.

"What's the matter?" Dazai Osamu had been half leaning on Nakahara Chuya, so naturally he would not miss his slight trembling.

He gently leaned his arm on Nakahara Chuya's shoulder as silent comfort.

"...It's okay." Zhong Yuanzhong also closed his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice had returned to normal.His icy blue eyes were colder than usual, and if he looked closely, he could still see a chaotic blizzard churning deep in his eyes.

"The second time was just one month later." Kunikida didn't notice the slight interaction between Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai, and continued, "None of us expected it at the time. Even if Osamu Dazai really He wants to blow up Yokohama, where most of the Hong Kong gangsters are, so is it possible that he wants Hong Kong gangsters to destroy themselves?"

"But he did it again. This time, what he blew up was a building, and a shopping street around it was turned into fireworks."

"The qualitative change started from that time. The explosion was also in the middle of the night. After the entire building was reduced to ashes, the atmosphere of panic gradually spread in Yokohama. Although it was in broad daylight, the streets Everyone on the road was in a hurry, and before falling asleep late at night, I don’t know how many people were lying on the bed in fear, tossing and turning, thinking whether they might be the one who was about to die.”

"After the second time, the third and fourth times are no longer so surprising. If counted consecutively, today's explosion is already Osamu Dazai's fifth operation."

"So it's already the fifth time..." Osamu Dazai looked thoughtful, "What about your armed detective agency? I remember that in our world, the armed detective agency was an organization that stood side by side with the port mafia. Just now I looked around, and it seems that the main members of the Armed Detective Agency are still affiliated here, the main reason is that Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka are missing."

"But to match this, Akutagawa also joined the Armed Detective Agency in this world. Strictly speaking, your strength should be no worse than that of Hong Kong gangsters. Then why didn't you stop me in this world once?"

"It's not that we don't want to." Fukuzawa Yukichi finally said, "It's that we can't."

"That's right, we can't stop it at all." Kunikida sighed softly, "Do you remember what I told you about the crazy expansion of Hong Kong gangsters under the leadership of Osamu Dazai? Now, strictly speaking, the gangsters in the port The party is no longer the biggest mafia in Yokohama, but the only mafia in Yokohama."

"As for an organization that has expanded wildly to the extreme, the Armed Detective Agency is far from having the ability to stop any of its actions."

"Even if the leader, Osamu Dazai, can't conquer the hearts of everyone below?" Osamu Dazai asked calmly.

"Do you think this is possible?" Kunikida glanced at Osamu Dazai, "Even if you are Osamu Dazai in a parallel world, you should be clear that this kind of thing is not a problem for you at all, right?"

Dazai stopped talking.Obviously, if it were him, he could do these things without difficulty.

"So where is the explosion this time?" Zhong Yuanzhong, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. He looked out the window, and in his eyes was the storm that had been suppressed for a long time. "Do you know?"

"Of course. There is nothing in this world that Lord Ranpo doesn't know." Edogawa Ranpo rubbed his eyes and said, "Judging from the direction and distance of the explosion, it is obvious that the The place is very close to us, and I think you should have heard of it a little."

"—It's Leiti Street."

"what?"

"So it's there—"

The voices of Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu sounded at the same time, and the two looked at each other, and finally Dazai Osamu made the first move.

He finally let go of the arm that had been holding Nakahara Nakaya's shoulder for so long, his tall and straight body stretched out, and the person who had been looking lazy all night finally had a bit of energy at this moment.

"If it's really that place—" the long hem of his windbreaker swayed slightly, and he said in a flat tone, "I think Zhong and I need to go there too."
