Supernatural ability spring flowers and autumn fall

On Tuesday morning, Akiya and Dazai arrived at the office of the Armed Detective Agency long before working hours, and began to investigate the whereabouts of Tanaka Shinta who reported missing the day before.Under normal circumstances, when Kunikida, who was the first to arrive at the company, opened the office door at 8 o'clock, Shuya had already written a whole page of whereabouts information on the draft paper.

"Are you still investigating the case that was privately entrusted before, Shuya-kun?" Kunikida Doppo looked at the young man who was lying on his desk writing something, and Dazai who was standing next to him and handing him warm water. "If there is anything that needs my help, you can directly bring it up."

Although it is said to be a private commission, Kunikida still feels that it is appropriate to give some help to newcomers.And when the Yokohama missing persons case happened, Qiu Ye, who was still 17 years old and hadn't joined the detective agency, used supernatural powers to help lock the license plate number of the vehicle used by the suspect, and owed a favor there.

"Let's change it from an ordinary disappearance case of running away from home to a case of serial abduction of athletes, and now the main responsibility is transferred to the city police in Yokohama," Qiuya continued to write an action message without raising his head, and by the way In the following remarks, write the vehicles that appear at the same time or whether there are cameras nearby that have a chance to capture the details of this scene.If yes, write the address or license plate on the back, if not, just type x.

After he licked his lips and found that they were dry, he turned his head and buried his head in the teacup with Dazai's hand and took a sip of water, but he was careful not to let himself touch Dazai, lest his supernatural power be interrupted .

After thinking about it, Qiu also felt that such a description seemed to make the matter serious, so he stopped writing and raised his head to look at Senior Kunikida who was stunned: "Although it is a case of continuous disappearance, Dazai already hinted yesterday Who is my most likely suspect, now it’s just because intelligence evidence collection still takes a little time.”

Because Police Officer Minura had clearly stated yesterday that the object of his suspicion was Kota Saijo, so Qiu also wanted to report the whereabouts of the missing Tanaka, the suspect Saijo, and Xia Yuan, who was most likely to commit the crime, and proof Find out the methods and submit them to the past, so that he can determine who is the last prisoner.

"Ah, you can call me anytime if you need it," Kunikida pushed his glasses, sat down on his seat, turned on his laptop, and began to write the daily schedule report according to the first step in his ideal plan.But before he wrote a few words, he remembered what Qiuya said just now, and he poked his head out from behind the computer and asked doubtfully, "Dazai's suspect...?"

Is this really reliable?

He looked at the man who found a rolling chair after feeding the water and now began to sit next to Qiu Ye, and checked the draft paper he had finished writing from time to time. skeptical attitude.

"Well, Dazai found the most likely suspect through a 'them' last night." Qiuya lowered his head and continued to write information.He has already made an appointment with Police Officer Jipu, and when he comes over this morning, he will give him all the information he has collected, all the evidence pointing to the murderer and the current location of the three missing persons.On the contrary, he will also find out the evidence that he suspects to be Xicheng.

Now it is not too far from the agreed time. The main reason is that the place where Tanaka disappeared was at the Yokohama campus of Nippon Sports University. It was Qiuya who used the supernatural power on the plants in that place on August 8th, and the student’s disappearance The date was August 7th—this caused Qiuya's intelligence collection situation to be a little bit unsmooth.

"Well, I'm still a little confident in my reasoning ability." Dazai picked up Qiuya's draft that he had just finished, and marked some important areas on it with a pen of another color, so as to wait for the final draft. Time will be better organized.

"Yeah, Mr. 'Danna' in my family is very good." Qiu Ye, who was silently working, unknowingly fired a straight ball towards him, and made a mess of the single senior who was left in the office besides the two of them. The expression of death in the eyes came out.

Unconsciously showing affection even on the way to work, this is really too much!

His reflective eyes swept back and forth among the couple who were sorting out the athlete's information. Kunikida finally gritted his teeth and bowed his head to start his "ideal" work.

When all the members of the office except Ranpo-senpai, who was on a business trip in Hokkaido, arrived and clocked in for work, the Minoura Police Department, who was investigating files at the police station and staying up all night at the same time, knocked on the door of the detective agency and came in.

"Good morning, Police Officer Jipu, please wait a moment and I will give you the information." Qiu Ye raised his head and greeted the middle-aged uncle who came in, and then continued to lower his head to clean up the pile of messy papers on the table.His intelligence documents are divided into three parts, namely Tanaka Shinta's entire track on August 8th, Nishijo Kota's itinerary on that day and the days before and after, and Natsuhara's itinerary on that day and last night.Every piece of written information is followed by notes that may leave evidence at the time.

"Coincidentally, I also have information to show you." Jipu showed Qiuya several portfolios in his hand, "Now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to know first?"

"Then it's customary to stop the bad news first." Qiu Ye handed over the three documents in his hand, took the file bag and opened one of them, and looked back while bowing his head.

As he expected, the file bag contained the basic information of Haotai Xicheng.Qiu also set his sights on the 'Xia Shu' written on Zeng Yong's name and was silent for a while, finally heaved a sigh of relief and began to slowly continue to look down to understand what happened to him in the past few years.

The 11-year-old boy left the hellish place where he was held eight years ago and was adopted by the Xicheng family that same year.Of course, the resume only records that he was adopted eight years ago.After that, he and his cousin, who was two years younger, became interested in pole vaulting and started training with the goal of being an athlete.However, after a physical five years ago, he stopped all competitive training and began to set his sights on the amateur basketball team.

Well, it is indeed a pity that physical problems have shattered the dreams of athletes.

Qiu Ye propped his cheeks, and his eyes slowly moved down to the records recorded in the back, Xicheng's school grades in the past few years and the national examination scores, and the scores that could be admitted to the Municipal University's Department of Biology, showing a very shallow smile.

Taking back the thin paper that recorded Xicheng for eight years, Shuya raised his head and began to listen carefully to the 'bad news' that Officer Minura said.

"Early this morning, the city police received a new report." Officer Jipu signaled for Qiuya to call another file bag to check the transcripts. "A lady came to report that her son, who was still a high school student, was missing. That high school student The student is on the school football team."

"...But logically speaking, it's been less than 14 days. Was it really that prisoner who did this?" Qiu Ye asked suspiciously, opened another file bag, and checked the contents inside.

The missing person this time is called 'My Grandson City', and his mother 'My Grandson Yuko' reported the case.On the morning of the 12th, the woman discovered that her child had left a note of "I'm going out for a walk" on the 11th, and she hadn't come back until now and went to the police station alone to call the police.

The portfolio also comes with a photo of the note.

"I originally guessed whether it was related to the case we were investigating," Jipu nodded and said with his arms crossed, "but when I arrived today, I accidentally exposed a part of Xicheng's files for my grandson to see. Her The reaction was very abnormal."

Before that, Minura just thought it might be the same group of cases, but after seeing the lady's reaction, he felt that it was related.

"...Are you dereliction of duty if you do this?" Qiu Ye sighed helplessly, and his eyes fell on the "my grandson Yuko" above the informant for a while, and asked: "Kiura saw that reaction. I should also investigate the identity of my grandson, is it recorded that she has a professional nurse certificate and worked as an assistant in a botanical research institute before?"

"Ahem——" Police Officer Jipu, who was mentioned about accidentally letting others see the file, cleared his throat, and his expression turned into surprise after hearing the second half of Qiuya's words, "How do you know? You know this Miss?"

The information shows that this current housewife used to work as an assistant in the Botanical Research Institute and has a nurse qualification certificate.

"Maybe Xicheng and I helped her cross the road when we were in school," Qiu Ye said nonsense, concealing the real reason for meeting that lady, "and even knowing her doesn't mean her child is missing. , has something to do with the continuous disappearance of athletes. After all, those who disappeared before this were all active players, members of the school football team..."

Qiu also didn't go on, but the meaning was obvious—he didn't think the disappearance of the lady's son had anything to do with this serial abduction case.

"But this..." Jipu obviously wanted to continue.

"Please wait for me in the living room of the Minoura police department, I will go over after finishing the final information." Qiuya smiled and interrupted what the police officer was about to say, and then watched him shout, "It's the police department——" , and then turned around to the back of the sofa before relaxing and leaning on the back of the swivel chair, and sighed greatly by the way.

"Alas—" My head hurts.

"...Is that the person from the Bananafish Plant Ability Research Institute?"

Dazai suddenly asked after confirming that the police officer was within a distance of hearing the voices of members of their detective agency chatting.

"Well, so I guess her reaction when she saw Xicheng was because she found out that it was a child who was in the laboratory before," Qiu Ye pointed at the name of "my grandson Yuko" with her cheeks propped up, and said under the curious eyes of other members Said, "Xicheng is the 'Xia Shu' who participated in the experiment earlier than me, and it is estimated that the lady's reaction to seeing me now will be greater than seeing Xicheng."

After all, in her eyes, the child 'Qiuya' was thrown out because the experiment failed.If she saw the real person who was now 18 years old, she would probably point to his pale blue eyes and shout that there was a ghost.
