It was the eyes of the hunter, and in her pupils that were condensed like black ink, I saw myself being tragically divided into two to die.

——I must escape from here.

"...Miss Inai?" Natsume's increasingly urgent voice could be heard on the phone.

I was stared at by Miss Qing, and I thought, those are not human eyes at all—it must be a spider.

Human beings' natural alertness to danger is like a thorn sticking to the spine in the air. In an emergency, this thorn stabbed me fiercely, and my brain conveyed the unique highest order to my body - run away immediately .

I don't know where the courage came from, and I immediately pushed her away. She was as heavy as a thousand catties. In the end, I almost slipped. I ran out in a panic, but the corridor seemed to be extended endlessly. Blurred dots of light.

The surrounding scenery suddenly turned into turbid black, and I seemed to be isolated in a strange and different space.

[My lord!Please use me—! 】 Jin Jian shouted.

No.

I have never felt the power of Jinjian so clearly. His spiritual power reserves are simply insufficient. If he goes into battle forcefully, there is a great possibility that he will be broken.

It's a pity that he doesn't intend to be stopped by me at all, even if he uses a small amount of spiritual power, he will immediately appear.

"My lord! Go this way!" He grabbed my hand and ran with me into the darkness in the corridor that turned into a maze. I have seen a very powerful and familiar force, and it is rushing here!"

"Is it the enemy?"

"I don't know yet!"

The situation is already very bad.

I don't know why Miss Qing did it suddenly. Is it because I'm too close to the truth?Miss Qing said that she had dedicated all of herself to Master Huiren, so it was Matsuyama Huiren who really committed the crime?Miss Qing just wanted to cover him up?

I gasped and asked, "Jin Jian, is Miss Qing a human being? Or a monster?"

"It's neither a monster nor a human... I can't tell the difference, my lord, I'm sorry." His voice gradually weakened, but he held my hand firmly from beginning to end.

"Please step back—!" He stopped suddenly, raised his hand and held the main body backwards.

There was a flash of cold light in front of him, and the silver foot blade was slashing head-on, but was blocked by Jinjian's backhand. Even so, he still took half a step back.

(Could it be that the crawling sound I heard that night was Miss Qing...?)

Under Miss Qing's kimono, there are still a few sharp foot blades, which allow her to move quickly like a spider's feet. I and Jinjian are about to run away in the opposite direction, but she suddenly jumps, stands upside down on the ceiling, and uses her feet Insert the blade into the wall to prevent yourself from falling.

Immediately afterwards, she jumped down from the wall, but the foot blade even pulled the ceiling so that it was crumbling, and she was about to fall——

But suddenly a shadow was harvested, and Miss Qing turned into her original appearance, standing directly in front of me.The dark scenes around me are like my hallucinations, turning into an antique corridor again.

The light flickered on and off on her face.

"Miss," she said, "you have a fine knife."

I took a half step back vigilantly, this sentence sounded like a blatant threat to me.

My hand on the hilt tightened.

"It seems that you are not an exorcist."

Miss Qing's voice seemed to be isolated in this deep corridor——

"In this case, you can sleep for a while and have a sweet dream."

……

……

Ten minutes ago, Dazai made a proposal.

"Take the remaining four people to different rooms at the same time for separate interviews." He straightened the outer buttons of the windbreaker, and dominated the ensuing battle with a blank expression, "Teruto Matsuyama will be in charge of me."

Knowing his partner's temperament fairly well, Kunikida pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose noncommittally.To interrogate everyone separately at the same time, to put it bluntly, is also imposing a psychological burden.

"I only have one question." He said, "Why did you choose Teruto Matsuyama over Miss Qing?"

"Kunikida-kun, don't ask what you know." He sighed impatiently as he went down the stairs, "Compared to an experienced killing machine maid, it's easier to pry open the mouth of a sensitive and fragile young man like Huiren. "

"...a killing machine?"

As early as when the case happened, Dazai entrusted the members of the agency to provide intelligence support. Ms. Kiyoshi was the only one with a unique experience. Talent, this falsified resume is obviously too much in front of him.

On his resume, he once worked for an organization. On the surface, he is a large multinational trading company, but in fact he runs a large research institution.

(And known for research related to human experiments, not a good place.)

Dazai recalled that when he passionately made a plea to die for love to Miss Qing, he held her hands that were completely different from her beautiful face, full of traces of violence——

(Judging from the position of the cocoon, it is the hand of a person who uses guns all year round. Apart from guns, he must also be good at close combat. Although the wide kimono sleeves cover up his figure, the little arm muscles exposed are by no means The lines a normal housemaid would have.)

Dazai's judgment on the facts of the case is not divided. Although he listed Miss Qing as the first suspect the moment he saw the corpse, regardless of time, he will not forget the secular rules and the rules of the police. That is to say, everything pays attention to evidence and motivation.

(It's useless even if you know the culprit.)

(It is still necessary to connect all the information together and "deduce" the case in an ordinary way. As an "ordinary person" in the "good camp", only acting according to this set of logic can be regarded as "handling the case". )

(I really want to eat crab meat.)

He went down the stairs and separated the others according to the plan just now.

Seeing him coming down, Yanyong Qinzi thought he was looking for Wu Yishi, so she took the initiative to tell him: "Miss Inai went to call."

"I see," he said.

(now this time?)

(Who to call?)

……

……

"Didn't you already ask the question just now?" Huiren saw that the police were tirelessly trying to repeat the investigation process again, and Qingjun's face was already covered with irritability, "Even the police have no right to detain those who have nothing to do with us." here?"

He was led into a room alone again, but the one who was talking to him now was not the kind bald policeman Yamada, but Dazai Osamu who was smiling warmly.

"Don't say that, Huiren-kun." He called very kindly, Huiren didn't know what he saw from his dignified smiling face, he was like a puffed up puffer fish, but he was immediately discouraged, Dazai continued his efforts , said softly: "Miss Shiori's biological father, Mr. Yasuhiko, who is also your uncle, is still dead. I thought you would act more sadly. Isn't this blatantly saying 'I don't have a good relationship with him'?" ?”

"...No one stipulates that one should respect one's uncle, right?"

His dark eyes were faintly golden under the light, and Huiren saw his rebellious and impatient expression in the other party's kite-colored eyes, and he said, "What do you want to ask?"

(No clues can be found from the time of death.)

(Even if you interrogate me a thousand times, I won't let him steal a single bit of the truth.)

"Hui Ren-jun, can you stop putting on an expression that doesn't intend to cooperate at all?"

At this moment, Dazai, as if he was facing a naughty student who seemed to be a child's play when he filled out the admission application for further education, he said in a tone of someone who had experienced it: "I don't like to do troublesome things either... so let's do it, starting from the most basic questions. Start asking questions."

Teruto Matsuyama still felt contemptuous in his heart.

(Come on, let me see what he'll ask me?)

"Ah...then let's start with your father—when did you know that your father was hurting Miss Shiori?"

Did not get the reply I wanted.

An ordinary person might change the way of asking in such a solemn atmosphere, but Dazai seemed to turn a blind eye to Matsuyama Teruhito's terrifying expression, and continued:

"Huh? Is this question too difficult for you to answer? Then I'll change it."

Dazai didn't look at Huiren's expression at all, and continued to drop the bomb, "When did you realize that Miss Qing killed other innocent people in order to protect you?"

……

For Osamu Dazai, the difficulty of prying out the information he wanted from Teruto Matsuyama's mouth was not even as challenging as that of perfectly removing the crab meat from the shell.If you want to use a novel as a metaphor, the cause of the whole incident is the story of bereavement that makes readers feel depressed and screams blood.

Teruto Matsuyama has been losing, and the big family he once had has gradually turned into this distorted appearance.

The first thing he lost was his mother. He didn't get much love from his mother. At first, when his mother passed away, he didn't feel much pain in his heart. At least he still had his father and Shizhi. Later, he realized with horror that he had lost them.What made him most unacceptable was that his father, whom he worshiped as a role model and a successful beacon since he was a child, turned out to be just a perverted old man who was obsessed with the shadow of his old love and couldn't protect himself, and Shiori's biological father was a waste. The debt was handed over to the daughter and converted into value as if it were an item.

After all his beliefs were broken, Huiren found the meaning of life for himself again.

Shiori is my last relative.

——So I must protect Shiori.

He had a very painful life. He was not born to be so powerful, and his temper was so domineering that he dared not be disobedient.What's more, his father's aura always weighed on him, and he was already out of breath.He didn't think about killing people. For a high school student, human life is still too heavy, but more than once he thought about repaying them with more terrifying violence than what they inflicted on Shiori.

But he couldn't do it.

Until Miss Qing came to him.

"Actually, I didn't do anything." He smiled wryly, "Ah Qing stood on the side of the road, letting the rain drench on me like an idiot. I couldn't see it, so I gave her the umbrella. Ah Qing said, Can you take me in, I said yes. I thought, anyway, this family is already full of lunatics, at least a normal person can come. "

Dazai listened quietly.

"But Ah Qing gave me too much in return." He lowered his head, covered his face and murmured: "...I dare not ask for more."

"The first time Ah Qing did something for me was because that person learned about my father's dirty work and wanted to threaten him to extort money. But I can't...I can't let other people know that Shiori was..." He said inconsequentially: "He came to my house to look for me, saying that he held my father's scandal in his hands, he drank alcohol, and was not wary of me. I thought a lot at the moment I heard his words, all about Shizhi ...I know I can't let him go."

"You killed him," Dazai said.

"I killed him. I took advantage of his unconsciousness and killed him. I don't want to talk about the specific process." Huiren said, "Ah Qing came back from shopping and told me very calmly: 'Young Master, how can you do this? I will be arrested." So I told her: "Ah Qing, I don't want to be arrested, what can you do?", so Aqing cut up the body and re-disguised the scene. She did so cleverly, It's impossible for her to be an ordinary village girl... I thought the calluses on her hands were left from doing farm work, but after that, the more I thought about it, the more something went wrong, what kind of farm work? Could it be that Ah Qing did murder before?"

"Afterwards I asked Ah Qing, and she explained everything. She said: 'I've already washed my hands, and now I'm just a maid working for the young master.'" Huiren said, "Ah Qing said that I resemble her child who died young, There are seven parts, especially the part where the brow bone goes down to the eyes, anyway, I don't know how to look alike here."

"By some coincidence, I called Ah Qing 'Mother'."

(Mother...)

Listening to Huiren's confession, Dazai, who was turning the pen in his hand nonchalantly, finally felt emotional about the story.

(Just because of a word of mother, Miss Qing also went crazy with this family.)

Dazai asked, "What about today?"

"..." Teruto Matsuyama fell into a rare silence.

In fact, during the conversation, he had a slight expectation to see emotions like sympathy, regret, and lamentation in Dazai's expression, so he always raised his head from time to time, peeking at his expression from the corner of his eye.

To his disappointment, Dazai was as cold as a wall, the kind that didn't even echo back.

He said slowly: "...my uncle wanted to borrow money from my father, and he said: 'The way to repay the debt is to follow the old rules'."

Dazai just retracted his fingers, and the pen that was swirling in the air was firmly held back in his hand——

"I almost understand the matter." Thank you for your cooperation, Hui Ren-jun. "

(It is already enough for Kunikida-kun to write a good report. What is needed is to recover some detailed evidence and fill in the details of the case.)

(The next step is to ask Miss Qing how to erase the criminal evidence.)

He left the room, and Matsuyama Teruto was still sitting in his seat in a slumped state.

In fact, he can grit his teeth and say nothing. After all, Dazai is just guessing, but his psychological burden has reached a critical point. The first murder was negligent, and the second and third murders were done by Qing to protect him. , deliberately do the next case.

(Let's be honest, anyway, I also...)

(I don't want to go on like this anymore, let the police take me away.)

(Shiori will be happy when her uncle and father are gone.)

……

Everyone was released from the separate room again, Dazai leaned on the other side of the corridor, waiting for Miss Qing to come out of the room.After Miss Qing appeared, she took the initiative to find him.

From her beautiful woman's face, you can't find any malice or murderous intent. When she doesn't smile so sinisterly, she is just a normal woman, and she is even kind to Dazai, the opposite sex who once invited her to die in love.

"By the way, the lady who was walking with you seems to be unwell, and just fainted in the corridor." She whispered softly: "Now she is resting in the room, why don't you go and see her?"

Dazai smiled and said, "I see, thank you."

He greeted his colleagues and said he was going to check on Mu Yishi's situation. It was impossible for them both to leave at the same time, so Kunikida had no choice but to say "don't delay too much" and let him go.As a result, they ran into Iwanaga Kotoko and his boyfriend again on the way. Unexpectedly, the number of people tripled in just a few short steps to Muyishi's room.

Yan Yongqinzi was going to check on Wu Yishi's situation, but she just went out to make a phone call, why did she suddenly faint?It was too weird, but when she met Dazai, she was really worried about letting Dazai go to the women's room alone, so she said she wanted to go with her.

The door of Wuyishi's room was not closed, it was ajar.She was already lying on the mattress and seemed to be asleep, but her sleep was not sound.She was awake before they got to the bed.

Then he got up from the ground while rubbing his eyes, not sure if he was awake.

Just as Iwanaga Kotoko was about to ask what happened, the next second, Wu Yishi threw himself into Dazai's arms.

"Wow" burst into tears——

"Ugh... Dazai-san... how do you tie the obi of the kimono..."

The author has something to say:

Ordinary people's process of solving crimes: searching, looking for evidence, and finding the murderer based on clues

Osamu Dazai's way of solving the case: I already know who the murderer is, but in order to report to work and assist the police in handling the case, I have to go back and look for evidence and clues...

Wu Yishi had a nightmare, it was so scary (great read)

Miss Qing won the title: [x Dream Maker]

Miss Qing is no longer a human being, but she is not a complete monster either. She has no reaction to Sakuragawa Kuro at all.
