After drawing Zhongye SSR

Osamu Dazai didn't hear Maki's last words.

But he has eyes, so he can see that Maki doesn't really want to talk to him.

He tilted his head and asked, "What happened?"

Osamu Dazai is best at reading people.

He knows that the seemingly irritable Chuya will not get angry easily, and he also knows that the seemingly indifferent and stubborn Maki is actually very considerate of others.

So he was very curious, what exactly would make these two people quarrel.

Before he could come up with any clues, Maki suddenly said, "Mr. Dazai."

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai turned to look at her.

Maki still had no expression on his face, but there seemed to be deep feelings hidden in his eyes.

Osamu Dazai couldn't understand the meaning of that emotion.

He followed her gaze.

Then, saw the Port Mafia building.

In the continuous filament-like rain curtain, those patchwork black high-rise buildings are like dormant monsters.

Dazai's heart beat violently.

He thought, he could probably figure out what the reason for the quarrel between Maki and Chuya was—

"Mr. Dazai," Maki called him again, "What kind of place do you think Port Mafia is?"

Osamu Dazai pondered for a while, and said, "It's not a particularly good place."

He saw the little girl's eyelashes tremble, and continued: "But it's not particularly bad."

Maki raised her head in surprise.

Osamu Dazai usually wears a mask most of the time, but now he seems too lazy to hide himself, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

——This Dazai Osamu is almost exactly the same as the Dazai Osamu in Maki's memory.

The kind of swamp-like thick darkness from the inside out overflowed from him.

There seemed to be an abyss in the iris' eyes.

Then Maki suddenly knew that Osamu Dazai of this world also stayed in the port mafia.

Maki: "What is your position in the Port Mafia? Certainly not a regular member—"

She paused, and said with some doubts: "Are you one of the five major cadres?"

Dazai did not deny it.

He asked back: "How did you know that there is such a position as a cadre in the port Mafia?"

Maki's lips trembled. She originally wanted to say that she was just guessing, but she also knew that a shrewd person like Osamu Dazai would not listen to her clumsy lies.

She was silent for a long time.

Then said: "Then why did you leave the port Mafia?"

Osamu Dazai glanced at him, and didn't continue to get to the bottom of it, but said indifferently: "I used to have a friend in the port Mafia, named Odasaku, he was a very nice person."

Although Maki's memory is not very complete, she clearly remembers that Mafia, the port in her previous life, definitely didn't have such a No. [-] person.

Maki asked, "Is he the one who persuaded you to leave the port of Mafia?"

Dazai nodded.

Zhen Ji said: "A person like you can actually listen to other people's words."

She looked a little disbelieving, and a little bit sad at the same time.

Osamu Dazai couldn't understand her expression again.

He shrugged and said, "After all, it was his last wish, and it turned out that he was right. It's really good to be a good person."

Maki blinked: "He... died?"

"Die in a fight with other organizations," Osamu Dazai seemed indifferent, "It's a common thing."

Maki's intuition told her that it was not that simple, but apparently Osamu Dazai didn't want to continue talking.

Everyone has things they don't want to say, so Maki didn't continue to ask.She thought for a while, and said: "If, I mean, if there is no such person—would you want to be the leader of Mafia at the port?"

Dazai was silent.

Maki raised her face and saw that he was looking at her deeply, she was startled.

Osamu Dazai said, "Why would I want to be the head of Port Mafia?"

Maki: "It's just a hypothesis—"

Osamu Dazai: "Assumptions will have a basis, what is your basis?"

Maki: "...I don't know."

She just seems to know why that Osamu Dazai became the leader of the Mafia at the port—Maki can't help but think, if Osamu Dazai is not the leader of the Mafia at the port, would he not die?Although she still doesn't know why Osamu Dazai committed suicide, it probably has something to do with his identity.

After all, Osamu Dazai of the armed detective agency in front of him is alive and kicking.

Osamu Dazai didn't seem to expect any definite answer from Maki.

His gaze became a little dark: "If I hadn't left the port of Mafia at that time, then there would be three possibilities."

Maki looked up at him.

"First, Mr. Sen and I live in peace. I will be my cadre and he will be his leader."

"The second one is that I was killed by Mr. Sen because I was afraid of him."

"The third one is that I'm still afraid of Mr. Mori, but this time I killed him—and then took over."

Maki blinked, and she asked, "Which is most likely?"

Osamu Dazai sighed inaudibly, and said, "The third type, there is no doubt about it."

Maki opened her mouth, she felt that she probably had to give some comments, but her mind went blank, and the last thing she said was a short "oh".

She raised her head and looked at the tallest building in the Mafia excited building at the port, where the chief's office was located.

She probably looked at it for a long time, because the surrounding rain has become much heavier without knowing it.

Even Osamu Dazai's voice was a little blurred: "The person you see through me—is 'Osamu Dazai'?"

Maki turned her head abruptly, her eyes widened in shock.

Osamu Dazai smiled lightly, he didn't say much, but Maki could feel it inexplicably—he knew it.

She opened her mouth to say something, but Osamu Dazai interrupted her first.

"I wonder where you came from, Maki."

Maki tried hard to put on a relaxed smile.

But she failed, she looked at Osamu Dazai, a little worried that he would continue to question, if he did, Maki was sure that she would show her flaws.

But Dazai didn't, he just smiled.

Osamu Dazai: "It's raining heavily, do you want to come to my apartment to take shelter?"

Maki hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

*****

Osamu Dazai's residence is not very far from the Mafia building in the port.

Maki wondered why he lived in this kind of place. After all, the location of the Armed Detective Agency and the Mafia building in the port are separated by a big river, and the daily commute is probably very troublesome.

Osamu Dazai shrugged and said, "I used to live near here, so I'm used to it."

Maki raised her eyes: "You don't look like a nostalgic person."

Osamu Dazai smiled and didn't answer, just took out the key from his pocket and opened the door in front of him.

This is a very common single apartment - the kitchen is on the outside, the room is just inside, and there is a small study next to it.

Maki said with some surprise: "It's pretty clean."

Osamu Dazai said: "Don't look at me like this, I am also very good at housework, and it is not easy to work if it is messy."

Maki raised his eyebrows: "Will you still work at home?"

Obviously listening to Kunikida Doppo's tone, this person will be passive and sabotage in the office.

"Occasionally," said Osamu Dazai, "very occasionally."

Only then did Maki think that the matter that Dazai Osamu would have to deal with at home might be very, very serious.

So maybe it was more reassuring that the place was a mess - but she had no qualms about it.

Maki found an open space to sit down, and Osamu Dazai's voice came from the kitchen: "What would you like to drink?"

"Black coffee, thank you."

Osamu Dazai came in with two cups, not a set, obviously this person would not usually receive guests at home.

Maki is holding the phone, looking at something.

Dazai asked, "What are you doing?"

"Return a message." Maki said.

After Edogawa Conan sent the message before, she has been ignoring it, probably out of vigilance, and there has been no new message from there.

When Maki sent a text message, he relied on the power of the system to make his number anonymous, so Edogawa Conan didn't know that it was Maki who sent him a text message.

Maki thought for a while and said simply: [Don't worry, no one else knows your real identity, and I won't tell it. 】

Although such a simple sentence may not be of any use.

But Maki can't do much, he can only come to apologize after the matter at hand is resolved.

After sending this text message, she opened LINE again.

Maki turned her eyes away from the group of classmates who asked about her situation, and opened the message board of Hitomi Mishima.

Hitomi Mishima over there has been broadcasting online the countermeasures so far.

Relying on the role of the water army and the management of the platform, Beidou's affairs have somehow come down from the trend of Twitter.

But if things go on like this, this matter will definitely be on the social news tomorrow, and it will be irreparable by then. No one will want to buy from a brand with food safety problems.

Maki rubbed his temple slowly with one hand.

Hitomi Mishima over there saw her online, and quickly asked: [What should I do next? 】

Maki typed a line, and his finger stayed on the "send" button for a while, and finally deleted the line.

She took a long breath and opened the address book.

Osamu Dazai raised his eyes to look at her, and saw Maki started to call.

Osamu Dazai took a deep look at her: "Who are you calling?"

Maki didn't answer.

It will be over there soon.

Fitzgerald's voice came from the receiver, he sounded very energetic: "Miss Dazai, it's been a long time."

"To make a long story short," Zhen Ji said, "Have you heard about Beidou?"

"Of course." Fitzgerald's voice was slightly smiling.

The news of Beidou was displayed on the huge screen in front of him: "Who did you offend, this is not a simple method."

He glanced at the news, and said: "If you want my help, I may not be able to do anything, you might as well go to the police for this kind of ability crime—"

"Mr. Fitzgerald."

Maki interrupted him.

Her tone was very serious.

Fitzgerald sat up straight involuntarily.Although he and this little girl have not met a few times, his experience tells him that this is not an easy task.

So when his assistant told him about this this afternoon, he kept thinking about what method she would use to solve this matter. With Maki's intelligence, there must be some perfect means——

Then, he heard the little girl's voice coming gently: "Are you interested in acquiring 40.00% of Beidou's shares?"

Fitzgerald froze.

40.00% - This number is tricky.

He remembered that Maki originally held 70.00% of the shares, and the rest was scattered among her partners.

If he does what Maki says, he will become the person in power in Beidou's face in the future, and Maki can go behind the scenes.

In the eyes of passers-by, all the previous blame can be pushed to Maki, and with some tricks, Beidou with a new management team can completely clean up.

However, in fact, the power of Beidou is still in the hands of Maki, because as far as Fitzgerald knows, those partners of Maki follow her lead, and she must have a veto power when making decisions.

...a surefire tool indeed.

but.

Fitzgerald stopped spinning the pen for a moment.

He said, "Are you willing?"

Maki was stunned.

Her voice was a bit bitter: "Of course I don't want to."

After all, Beidou was built by her alone.

Besides: "Do you know what Beidou means?"

Fitzgerald: "The Big Dipper?"

"Half right," said Maki, "the class I was in, Class I, was the seventh letter."

Fitzgerald smiled: "You are a man of affection, little girl."

Maki didn't speak.

Fitzgerald: "So I don't even understand why you're doing this - actually if you keep a low profile for a while, this thing will pass."

Maki's breathing stopped for a moment.

Then, she said word by word: "Because the war is about to start, sir. I have to be fully prepared."
