As a background board, I want to pursue Dazai

"in my eyes……"

Who's the real, cryptic cyborg who thinks she's in charge of other people's lives?

"Let's sort out the people present here now." He was not in a hurry, but sat down cross-legged, and invited Kotoko Iwanaga and Kuro Sakuragawa to join the conversation, "Assuming this is a reasoning game, then now we The cards in hand are—Matsuyama Kenichi, Matsuyama Teruto, and maid Miss Kiyoshi, these three are tentatively called the Matsuyama family."

He waved his hand, pretending that there were really cards on the ground, and pointed at the empty tatami.

"And Ogawa's family is Ogawa Shiori and the dead Ogawa Yasuhiko."

Kuro Sakuragawa stretched out his hand and asked, "Excuse me..."

"I'm Dazai."

"Okay, Mr. Dazai, is it really okay to involve unrelated people like us? It is impossible for the police to tell us the key clues obtained from the investigation."

The young people were puzzled, especially Dazai talked with them in a cheerful and relaxed manner from the beginning to the end, and even compared the murder case to a game.

"As you said——" he said, "what I gave is not all, you just think that I set up a reasoning game on the spot with real cases."

That is to say, the real case is completely set aside.What will be given to us next is the "clues of the case" processed by Osamu Dazai as the "host" of the game.But I asked myself: do you really think so?Maybe he was just looking for such an excuse to go down the stairs, but what he said were all real clues——

In the end, he clapped his palms together, and the sound landed on the ground, as if cutting off the tense and subtle slapstick quartet behind him.

But I calmed down in my heart, looked at him full of expectations, and had the desire to respond.

"How about I start speaking first with Yi Jun?" Mr. Dazai stared at my face.

It's amazing, I think, he may be a large emotional capture machine, when I have a little desire to show myself, I was immediately caught by him and sent to the diving board.

"First let me talk about what I can't judge at all—that is, Miss Qing and Young Master Huiren. They joined for too short a time. My observation ability is limited, and I haven't obtained any effective information from them for the time being. I will list their suspiciousness as 3, Hui Ren is 3, Miss Qing is 1."

Huiren was too sure about the rumors about the new bride, and he spoke with certainty, as if he had seen the scene of the murder in person.

Dazai: "Oh, there are also detailed numerical rankings? What about the rankings of Mr. Matsuyama Kenichi and Miss Shiori?"

"At the dinner table earlier, didn't you say that Mr. Matsuyama had a debt relationship with the deceased? Specifically, I want to know the extent of the debt, which will affect my judgment. For example, someone owes me a lot of money. At this time, I must be I don't want him to die... Otherwise, what should I do with the money he owes me? But if the conflict between us has reached an irresolvable point, and the money he owes me is running out... maybe I will kill him. "

"From a practical point of view, there is no problem. If Mr. Matsuyama is a prisoner, the key lies in his ability to bear the debt." Dazai said, "As the author of a best-selling book, Mr. Matsuyama's annual royalties can be imagined How exaggerated... Maybe it's money that the deceased can't match in running a small hotel for a lifetime."

Sakuragawa Kuro said: "...In this case, I think the reverse is more likely. After borrowing a huge sum of money, the deceased found that he was unable to repay, so he killed the creditor and then blamed the bride."

"But the one who died was not the creditor Mr. Matsuyama." Yan Yongqinzi asked again: "Could it be that Mr. Matsuyama found out that the deceased was unable to pay back, so he simply killed him and defrauded the insurance money?"

"Wow, hearing such a capitalist-style answer from such a young girl makes one feel hopeless about Japan's future..." Dazai hugged his arms exaggeratedly, "If you follow Ms. Iwanaga's words , then this matter must be committed by two people."

"...The beneficiary of the insurance is likely to be Ms. Shiori." I said, "If there is such a possibility, Ms. Shiori is also likely to be an accomplice. But between Ms. Shiori and Mr. Matsuyama, it seems more like one side With complete control over the other party, Miss Shiori may not be able to resist him."

"That is to say, Mr. Matsuyama and Ms. Shiori are the most suspicious in Yi Jun's eyes?"

The underage girl murdered her biological father with her creditors - I still have expectations for Shiori, she shouldn't have committed such a shocking thing.

So I said, "Compared with the other two, it looks suspicious."

Mr. Dazai knew that my doubts were unfounded.

Instead of denying it, he completely let me reason at my own pace.I always feel like the dean...do you want to give me the space to grow on my own?

To clarify the whole picture of the incident, Huiren and Ms. Qing should also become targets of suspicion. Before the criminal is caught, I should maintain the same level of suspicion and vigilance against everyone, instead of being emotionally manipulated and unilaterally thinking who is wrong. murderer.

"Mr. Dazai... can you tell me the letter about Teruto Matsuyama and the maid..."

Before I finished speaking, the phone in Dazai's pocket rang crazily. He said "sorry" to me, and turned on the phone.

Almost as soon as he saw the caller ID, he answered in an extremely eye-catching way.

"Kunikida-kun~ You actually took the initiative to call me. It seems that you have found some great clues, right?"

Dazai deliberately raised his voice, fearing that the people present would miss him, and even stood up very ostentatiously and turned around on the spot——

"What, what? The key-point-line-cable that can determine the key to the matter-" He managed to keep the eyes of all the creatures in the audience from missing, all locked on him, "I'm coming now!"

Me: ...This is the so-called hook salty bait straight.

……

……

Dazai returned to the second floor. The structure of the second floor was basically the same as that of the first floor. The room of the deceased was the first room on the second floor, and the only other resident on the second floor was Kenichi Matsuyama who lived in the innermost room.

Of course, his exaggerated and excessive reaction was deliberate. Since novices and veterans are present at the same time, the novices will definitely lose their composure when they hear that they have discovered the key clues, and even the veterans will make mistakes.

However, it is not entirely acting.

"Kunikida-kun~ found something interesting?"

Kunikida is in Matsuyama Kenichi's room, because it is the room at the end, so the space is much larger than ordinary guest rooms.

"It has been completely converted into a personal room." Dazai walked to the bookshelf, and casually pointed at the books arranged on it. Almost all of them were Matsuyama Kenichi's personal works. "There are no other books at all."

The room was no longer recognizable as a hotel. It seemed to have been redecorated according to the owner's preferences. Even the daily household items were included, and personal belongings were neatly placed.

sense of violation.

Anyone who comes in will have an obvious sense of disobedience——

"There are two sets of mattresses. They have been placed in the same place all year round, and marks have been left on the floor. It would be fine if they were used for washing and changing by yourself... But judging from the traces on the ground..." Kunikida looked at the ground The traces left by the two said, "This room has always been occupied by two people."

Dazai found a lot of copied manuscripts and some bound manuscript paper in the drawer of the desk.Yamada had already seen the manuscript paper, and he said, "These manuscript papers are all the teacher's previous works."

Because Kenichi Matsuyama is a local celebrity, many people in Yahara have read his books even for the sake of support.Not to mention Yamada, who has been doing regular and unexciting work for many years. He has tasted the joy that fictional literature can bring him in the dreamlike but twisted and extraordinary love for Ken Matsuyama.

To put it simply, he is a fan of Kenichi Matsuyama's books, so he can tell at a glance which book the content of the manuscript paper comes from.

"It's the contents of the teacher's "The Hunting Ground", but why did the teacher use new manuscript paper to rewrite his old book... Wait! I saw the teacher's manuscript at the signing meeting, and this is not the teacher's words. Then this Who the hell wrote it?"

Dazai was not surprised: "The person who lives with Mr. Matsuyama."

(Ah, the smell of truth is already approaching me, although I can smell the rotten and disgusting smell from the beginning, but because of work needs, I have to jump into the sewage of truth and reach out to fish out the bottom key, really disgusting.)

He was standing in front of an old wardrobe.

Dazai knew what he would see when he opened the cupboard, he opened the door of the closet with a sigh.

(That is the distorted will of a certain girl that is contrary to reality, locked in this cage day after day like an earthbound spirit.)

"...What is this?"

The moment Yamada opened the cabinet, he saw women's clothes mixed with men's clothes.Especially the school uniform that he is used to for the high school students in the town, which is inserted in the middle of Kenichi Matsuyama's clothes.

"That's not all." Dazai squatted down expressionlessly and opened the drawer.

That was even more incompatible with this lifeless room——

Yamada was in a daze.

Of course he knew what it was, in the words of an adult, it was a toy.He and his wife used to look for some new sources of stimulation when their physical relationship was not very good, and they used these props and costumes——

Connected with the girls' school uniforms in the closet, the truth is almost in sight.On his plain face, he looked as if his heart had been ashamed after being struck by lightning——

"It's...he and..."

(It's Matsuyama-sensei...and...)

"Shizhi..."

(Just kidding...)

Turn around.

Reading Kenichi Matsuyama's book is like grazing on the prairie of sex/obsession for him, because he knows that this is just a fictional story.Although he likes stories, it does not mean that he will do things that are untouchable in the eyes of ordinary people like the protagonist in the book, but now the facts are in front of him——

A middle-aged man who has a successful career and is pregnant with a fortune.

A girl in bloom who is as innocent and innocent as a lily.

They lived in the same room for many years and kept their clothes mixed.

There are even items that are only used by intimate couples and husbands and wives...

(And those cheap, revealing clothes for whom you don't have to think.)

Dazai added in a timely manner: "As far as we know, the woman Mr. Matsuyama admired back then was Miss Shiori's mother Amei, but in the end she married her sister. The reason for this was the young Mr. Yasuhiko With a kick, he begged the hotel owner back then to take him in and let him help Ms. Amei manage the hotel."

There seemed to be an imperceptible sigh in the youth's tone.

"...Mr. Songshan and Ms. Amei couldn't be together because he was too good. Ms. Amei's parents thought that if he was with Amei, it would delay his career. So they chose to rely on Amei. Yasuhiko who lives in May. From a man's point of view, I can understand Mr. Matsuyama's anger and jealousy. He designed Jingyan to jump into the fire pit of huge debts, probably out of revenge."

"It must be through a huge debt, or some other reason we don't know, to threaten Mr. Yasuhiko, and take the opportunity to hold Miss Shiori firmly in his hands—"

As if to apply for Dazai's words, Kunikida found a group photo next to the bookshelf.

It was the young Matsuyama Kenichi, and the woman beside him was seven points similar to Shiori.

Dazai didn't look at Yamada's collapsed expression at all, he continued: "He took Miss Shiori as a plaything to satisfy his desires, and wanted to cultivate her into the Ms. Amei in his memory, no, it should be said that he cultivated her into the one he wanted. The ideal, the 'perfect woman' who met all his expectations."

(...I'm really deceiving myself, talking about an 'ideal, perfect woman'.)

After Dazai finished speaking, he began to laugh at himself.

(It is clear that he is embracing his own dirty desires and refuses to let go, and regards her human nature as a degenerate garbage uncle who can be trampled on at any time. He keeps saying that he is a great nurturer, but in fact he is just a perverted old man who cannot be loved one.)

Yamada still can't accept that the author he respects has turned into a beast with no bottom line who designs revenge on his rival because he can't court him, and then attacks his daughter. He is trying to force himself to face the facts with his own strength.

"So... the culprit is..."

(By the way, there are veterans and novices, duos.)

"Matsuyama-sensei and Shiori...?"

(Yes, in order to cover up the ugly things I did, plus the hatred of seizing love in the early years, I finally couldn't bear it today, so I killed Jing Yan?)

"No." Dazai's eyes were dark and dull, "On the contrary, the possibility of Mr. Matsuyama being the criminal has decreased."

The bright moonlight squeezed in through the window, shining on the manuscripts scattered on the ground and the notebooks of high school students. The handwriting on the notebooks was written by the same person as the manuscript they saw just now.

In addition, there was a piece of letter paper smeared with circles of red ink, which was almost beyond recognition, but it was framed contradictoryly. Under the moonlight, he could see it clearly.

Dazai was able to distinguish the contents of the letter just by seeing one or two of them. They were positive, heart-warming, and full of gentle comforting sentences. What stood out was——

"The recipient is Ogawa Shiori." Kunikida also noticed the letter, and he picked up the framed letter from the ground, "...The sender is Teruto Matsuyama."

——I hope Shiori will always be free and happy forever.

Dazai closed the window, and somehow said another seemingly insignificant sentence.

"Yesterday was the anniversary of Ms. Amei's death."

……

……

"...No, in this case the prisoner will not be Mr. Matsuyama Kenichi."

After the network bride came down from upstairs after listening to the corner, we learned the unbearable truth behind it.

My original doubts are now suddenly cleared up.

"It's not good for him." I said, "First of all, he is a creditor, and the death of a debtor is of no benefit to him. Secondly, he swaggers and never restrains his cohabitation with Shiori, even the private items in the house." He didn't intend to cover it up either. It was clearly a crime against minors... that proved that he didn't worry about the possibility of being exposed at all. Why didn't he be exposed? Because Ogawa and his daughter have endured this kind of life for a long time, whether it is violence The perpetrator, or the victim... have gotten used to it."

Although it makes me uncomfortable to say these words, I have to admit——

"He has almost no motive. If he wants to take revenge on Mr. Yasuhiko, the slow and slashing behavior he has been doing all the time is the best choice for revenge."

Iwanaga Kotoko sighed.

"It's back to the original point..."

Do not……

And one more thing.

When Natsume and Tanuma came to visit, they clearly said that it was because Shiori missed half a day of class yesterday because of sick leave.But what did Shiori say the day we arrived at the hotel?

Shiori said——

"I went to buy teaching materials with my friends."

Not at all.

Who is that "friend"?

What is it that makes Shiori not hesitate to ask for leave, but also to spend time with "friends"?

"I'm going to make a call." After I finished speaking, I went to the bathroom with my mobile phone and dialed the contact number that Natsume and the others left for me today.

"Sorry, Natsume-san, for disturbing you so late."

There seemed to be someone making a fuss on the other end of the phone, and it took two seconds for the young boy's embarrassing voice to come from the receiver: "It's okay... May I ask what's the matter?"

"Did Ogawa Shiori ask for leave yesterday afternoon?" I asked, "Is there anyone else who also asked for leave, or did they not go to school this afternoon?"

I know that my guess is all based on luck. If Shiori's friend is not a child from the same school as her at all, this clue will fall into a deadlock. Fortunately, my luck is quite good.

"Matsuyama Teruto from the class next door has also asked for leave, the reason is to visit the graves of his mother and aunt..."

It turned out that the strong fragrance I smelled on Shiori that day was the fragrance of flowers.

Shiori and Huiren went to visit the grave together?The object of sweeping the grave is the mother of the two of them.

——What is the relationship between Shiori and Huiren?

Before I could think about it carefully, Imaiken's voice, which had been silent just now, sounded again.

[My lord, there is a strange aura here. 】

[Just now, I was affected by something that can cover up the breath on the bride of the net, but I haven't felt it... It's a very uncomfortable breath, full of malice. 】

"—Can you feel who it is?"

【Master!That thing is approaching us! 】

I, who was leaning against the door, suddenly turned my head, just in time to meet a demure smiling face.

——It’s the maid of the Matsuyama family, Miss Qing.

As if entwined by dark shadows, twisting outward like vines of malice, as if they would climb up my ankles in no time, and strangle me all the way up the neck—

She tilted her head and smiled at me: "Good evening, miss."

The author has something to say:

Immediately become a horror story, so it will be updated in the morning today, and it will not be scary to watch during the day (hey)
