Supernatural ability spring flowers and autumn fall

Waiting in the reception room of the city police, there were a total of three people who reported the disappearance of the No. 3 athlete, and they were all seen by Shuya.His eyes moved from the active athlete Tengxiong Takeshita, who was sitting on the stool and had seen both sides, to Mr. Natsuhara, who was standing next to the athlete and had met Qiu Ya once, and finally fell on his best friend. .

"West City... are you the first to discover it?"

Among the two standing present, one of them was Kota Saijo, the only friend of the same level that Qiuya had known since entering the city university this year.

"...Well, it's almost like this." Seeing the figure he recognized coming in, Xicheng paused and then lowered his head to explain, "Actually, Teng Xiong was the one who discovered it first, and I just followed to see it later. Just a glance."

Because Teng Xiong was still a high school student and relatively young, he accompanied him to the police station.

"All in all, let me take a look at the transcript file first, and then confirm some details with you." Officer Jipu looked at each other and kept silent. They obviously knew each other. The minister's subordinates took the transcripts they made today to report the case, "The first person to find the note was Takeshita-kun, is that so?"

The No.3 missing person is an active long jump athlete and student named Shinta Tanaka, who was studying at the Yokohama Campus of Nippon Sports University.The one who found him missing was Tengyu-kun Takeshita, a pole vaulter who came for special training during the summer vacation.Because Takeshita-kun was actually accompanied by his cousin Saijo Kota to train, so more often than not living in a dormitory, he would live in an apartment rented by Xicheng in a better environment.

Today, because he is about to go to Tokyo to participate in the next game, he planned to pack his luggage in advance and went back to the dormitory, only to find the note left on August 8th, and it looks like no one has stayed in the dormitory for several days .Takeshita-kun, who was still a high school student, was a little worried. After contacting Xicheng, who was at home, to check the form together, he decided to call the police.

Everything is quite logical.

Officer Minura rubbed his chin, looked up at Xicheng, who was a little taller than him, "So you are also a student of Nippon University, do you happen to be with your cousin Takeshita who was invited to train during the summer vacation? Then do you know the missing athlete?" ?"

This boy looks like a sports student, and his age should be a college student.If you know the missing person, maybe you can ask for information such as the relationship network.

"No, I'm a student of Yokohama City University, and my major is biological plant research—this is the same as Sakuraba." Xicheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and answered the police officer's question, "Training with Tengxiong is just a Because, I have also received pole vault training before, but I gave up because of physical problems.”

... Xicheng has experienced professional competitive training before, and he has a nickname called 'Xia'.

Shuya lowered her eyes and kept thinking silently, holding Dazai's hand tightly.

"Ah, so..." Officer Jipu nodded, and after recording something in the file, he raised his head and looked at another middle-aged strong man standing there, "Then you are?"

"Hello, I'm Coach Takeshita-kun's assistant." A weak voice that didn't match his strong figure sounded, and the middle-aged man with a strong appearance said in a soft tone, "My name is Xia Yuanzhu, please give me your advice. "

Every sentence in the tone was honorific, which made Minura scratch his neck unaccustomed to it.

"Ah, I know..."

"Speaking of which, why did Mr. Natsuhara follow you?" Dazai suddenly interrupted Mr. Police Officer, leaned over to look at the writing board in his hand that recorded the records, and then looked at the taller and taller man His strong man, "It was Takeshita-kun who found the missing person and went to find his brother in a panic, didn't he? Why did three people come to report the crime?"

"That's because I saw Takeshita-kun running out in a panic at the track and field," Xia Yuan explained, wiping the sweat off his brow, "and then I suggested that I come with you. After all, Takeshita-kun's coach is not here , and the assistant is also a 19-year-old Xicheng who is not yet an adult, so I wonder if it would be better to have an adult follow me."

"Hmm..." Minura nodded, thinking that this reason is also reasonable, "Then where is Takeshita-kun's coach?"

For the time being, it is better to ask all the points that may be missed.

"The coach is following another senior, and he is playing in New York." The answer was Tengxiong Takeshita, who had been sitting on a chair. The 17-year-old boy may have recovered a little bit now, "My senior is the pole in Japan. Dance new star, Okumura Eiji-senpai!"

...It seems that the rejuvenation may also be due to the mention of his idol.

"I see," wrote it down on the clipboard again, Minura took one last look to make sure there was nothing missing, then raised his head and looked at the three people, "We will investigate Tanaka-kun's disappearance later, thank you for your hard work today Waiting for so long after taking notes here."

After the three came to report the case, they waited for a while because Minura was still investigating the warehouse in Tokyo.

After finishing speaking, he sent the three of them out of the reception room, and told them that they would contact them again if they needed clues.

"Speaking of which, I always thought that Mr. Natsuhara was the coach assistant in charge of Eiji," Qiuya, who was sending people out of the police station, kept silent all the way, suddenly opened his mouth and said to the strong middle-aged man, "It turns out that Takeshita-san Is it also your responsibility?"

When he went to the city university to see Ash and Eiji, Mr. Natsuhara ran over from the track and field and told him to go back to train. Only Eiji was there, and Takeshita-kun was not there.

"A coach assistant is a job that takes care of all the details," Xia Yuan nodded shyly and said, "And now that the coach has gone to a match with Okumura-kun, then I should take good care of his remaining disciples. "

"Alas - there are very few people in society who are as responsible as you," Dazai stretched out his hand and patted Xia Yuan's shoulder with a smile, squinting his eyes at this middle-aged uncle who was twice as strong as him , was shaken under his palm, and then showed a sentimental expression, "You should also feel very sad, in front of a responsible coach assistant like you, a promising athlete just disappeared like this .”

"Oh, I hope they are all right..." Xia Yuan said with a sigh, "They are all very good athletes who can succeed as long as they work harder."

'them'……?Qiu Ye blinked, glanced at Assistant Xia Yuan and then turned away, and came to his friend Xicheng, "It's very late now, and it's still a long way from the police headquarters to Aoba District," Shuya suggested, "If it's too dangerous, I can ask Dazai to find a shared car for you to go back."

"Dazai?" Xicheng looked at his friend Qiuya, and then at the tall, thin man in a windbreaker standing behind him.He seems to have seen this dress on the forum of the Municipal University, "Could it be..."

"Well, boyfriend." Qiu Ye nodded and explained calmly.Dazai, who was standing behind, immediately stuck to it as if glued upon hearing this affirmation.

"Oh, so Sakuraba, your boyfriend works at the police station," said Nishijo, who mistook him for a policeman because of Dazai's natural movements when he was checking the transcript just now, sighed softly, "That's amazing, but it's not necessary to send it back Yes, my family and Teng Xiong's family are both in the South District, very close to here."

He rented a house in Aoba District to train with Teng Xiong, the house he usually rented when he went to the city university to attend classes, and Teng Xiong's high school Konan Middle School is in the southern district.

"That's good," Shuya didn't hide the fact that Dazai was not a policeman, and that he himself was a non-staff detective in this case, and let Xicheng continue to misunderstand.There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him look like he was missing something, "Speaking of which, Xicheng seems to have never called my name, obviously the pronunciation of 'Qiuya' is shorter than that of 'Sakura Tei', and It's much easier to read."

Even the predecessors of his detective agency and Natsume changed his name from the original "Sakurawa" to the easier-to-pronounce "Akiya-kun", but his friend has always called him "Sakurawa" '.And the autumn of "Qiu Ye" represents the autumn of "autumn".

"...I'm used to it, let's slowly change it back next time." Xicheng waved his hand to bid farewell to Qiuya, and called to the distance at the bottom of the stairs, "Brother Xia "なつ"——" The boy walked quickly past.

"Brother Xia?" Police officer Jipu, who was standing by and listened to all the conversations, frowned, "A prisoner, there is a very high chance that he will be the first person who finds himself accompanied."

"Well, Xicheng Haota had an old name before, and now he changed it after he was adopted." Qiu Ye turned around and walked back to the reception room, and answered the police officer Jipu's question softly, "You should think he is suspicious now , but he certainly wasn't."

Although he has a strong body and has experienced training before, he is unable to continue his sports career due to some reasons. He has indirect social connections with the missing person, including the code name "Xia", which is very consistent with what Dazai proposed when he was in the warehouse. profile of the prisoner.

But at the same time, Dazai also told him that the thinking of a detective is a reverse thinking. If you are making assumptions based on a certain established fact and then entering them one by one, you will miss some important details due to subjectivity. up.

"I will find out all the whereabouts of the missing person as soon as possible, and find out who proves to you that Xicheng is not the murderer." Qiu Ye pressed the center of his right arm firmly with his left hand.It was more than eight years ago, where he was injected with supernatural power potion again and again, and the pain was so painful that he wanted to cut off his arm.

He believed that "Natsuki", who had a similar painful experience of being locked up, would not do the same to others.

"...Being suspicious of anyone and anything is the basis of being a policeman," Minura pressed the police cap on his head and said, "Then before you find out the evidence, I will try to get as much evidence from the file as possible." Give you the clue."

The police officer didn't care about Qiu Ye's rude behavior, nor did he compromise with the other party's opinion.He turned around and returned to the file room with the transcript in his hand, and waved with Qiu Ye to start his work.

"Well, my Shuya has grown a little more, and now she looks like a real detective." Dazai looked away from Minoura's leaving figure, looked sideways at Shuya, and took his left hand holding his arm again. Smiling, "Then Qiuya is sure who the prisoner is now?"

"Didn't Dazai tell me?" Shuya looked up at her boyfriend, blinked her pale green eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Dazai——"
