As a background board, I want to pursue Dazai

That rare crystal will be traded soon, which is an excellent opportunity for the detective agency.

"Kashiwagi treasures that piece of crystal." Their "informant" said, resting one leg on the other thigh, "At least it can make him an eight-figure income. I watched the money tree closely, carefully carried it in my arms and didn’t go anywhere until the trading day came.”

"Listen to what you mean—"

In the previous conversations, Dazai had always shown a calm and quiet look, but now he spoke in a respectful and humble tone, which even made Kunikida a little uncomfortable.

"Do you have any idea about Kashiwagi's next transaction? Can you give us some precious clues?"

Although Kunikida doesn't like devious ways, he's not an ignorant fool either.He immediately added: "The detective agency will definitely find the criminal, and work with the military and police to bring the criminal to justice."

It has to be said that the informant, who only had money in his pocket but failed to make it to the top circle, was very helpful in his low profile and courteous attitude towards them.

"Of course." He made himself look generous, smiling kindly and thoughtfully, "I know their deal."

Dazai said with a "joyed face": "Thank you so much."

……

……

Supermarkets are crowded with people now. After experiencing the wave of housewives, the first batch of salaried workers who get off work, or those who live alone, always shop at the same time.I bought a small pot of oil, stumbled against the wave of people rushing to squeeze the restricted goods, and ran to the cashier.

The aunt on duty today is an aunt I have known for a long time. After scanning the barcode, she asked me, "Does this lady have a membership card?"

I gave her a weird look.

You know, aunts of this age have the ability to collect the gossip information of all female customers within a ten-kilometer radius, and their memory is not bad in this kind of thing.

The reason why I am weird is because my membership card is handled in her hands. Usually our conversations are "please show the membership card", "don't you need today's membership discount products?" Under the premise of membership card.

She would actually ask me today if I have a card.

It's like forgetting about it.

Although I was puzzled, in order not to affect the checkout of subsequent customers, I quickly showed the card, and then observed her expression——

Her expression changed from being calm to showing an official smile, and she just said "Thank you for your patronage" after successfully earning points on the membership card.

Sure enough... not quite right.

I kept thinking about it on the way back, after Natsume, the cashier's aunt was the second person to act abnormally.This abnormality refers to the thing that forgets me.

Not long after I got home, Jin Jian came back.

"Ayi Ayi, I brought my friends here to play!" Carrying his schoolbag, he led his little friend to take off his shoes at the entrance.With him was his classmate Yamada, "Ai—is there any snacks at home?"

Right now I just put on my apron, and when I heard his words, I leaned out of the kitchen and told him: "Dinner will be eaten soon, so don't eat too many snacks."

"I know~ it's for Yamada-kun!"

He moved out his little friend to take the blame for him.

Yamada immediately said: "No, you want to eat it yourself!" After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember that I was still here, so he quickly bowed his head, "Excuse me! That..."

He suddenly became puzzled, and then asked uncertainly: "Excuse me, are you Inai's...sister, or?"

Jin Jian threw his schoolbag aside, and stared at his partner with an inexplicable look: "What are you talking about? Ayi is my sister, don't you know it."

"Huh? So it's my sister, but it's the first time I've seen her, so it's normal if I can't figure it out... Don't be angry."

Imaken was even more surprised when he heard this: "What are you talking about? Yamada-kun and Ai have met many times!?"

"...Really?" Yamada looked embarrassed when he said this, and glanced at me quietly.

I realized the big problem, and I was worried that they would continue to struggle because of this topic, so I comforted me: "Maybe I forgot. By the way, there is pudding in the freezer. You can eat one each, but any more snacks will be fine." OK."

As soon as he heard that there was pudding, Imai shouted happily: "Ai is the best!"

When the kids went to the room and I was left alone in the kitchen, I felt a little drained.

The pot was heating hot water, the water was already boiling, and there was a gurgling sound of boiling water. I realized that I had been in a daze for a long time, and hurriedly threw the chopped vegetables into the stew.

There is only one person, and it can still be said to be a coincidence.With two people, you can still comfort yourself that it is an accident, but with three people, it is scary.

What makes people even more frightened about the future is not knowing where to start to solve this problem.

The white soup in the pot boiled quietly.

White air spread out in front of me.

……

……

The search process can be described as easy as pie.

Although Kunikida knows that this is inseparable from the efforts of the military and police, and their running around looking for reliable clues, but when he found the "lair" of the culprit, even he complained in his heart—— It's a typical over-the-top criminal standard.

——Abandoned factory plus a half-eaten convenience store bento.

They followed the trading location given by the informant in advance, but they did not expect that Kashiwagi seemed to be planning to do something to the trader, and appeared at the trading site in advance to make arrangements, so they followed Kashiwagi and easily found his hiding place.

"Wow, what a big dust..." Dazai sniffed and slapped his face with one hand.

The remaining memory crystals that the Secret Service found from Kashiwagi's body are only a few dozen pieces, but there are definitely more than this number of people who have lost their memory.

When asked to think about those memories, Kashiwagi simply said two words: "Sold."

The expression on his face was numb, and he didn't have the slightest surprise about his end, as if he knew that it was only a matter of time before he was caught.

The crystals they found on the cypress were all red crystals with different shades.

"According to the information provided by the informant... the red ones are usually crystals condensed from painful memories with heavy negative emotions." Kunikida recalled the informant's words, "but the 'high-end goods' that are traded items seem to be absent. in."

Dazai shrugged: "After all, it is a high-end product with a color as eye-catching as rust. In contrast, this pile is just small red stones."

Kunikida thought of another thing, he asked Dazai in a low voice: "I mean... those memory crystals that were sold and 'eaten' before, can they be returned to their original owners?"

"Kunikida-kun." He explained: "In the end, there are only three things I can do. One is to touch Kashiwagi himself with my supernatural power, and the other is to directly touch these crystallized memories..."

He deliberately stopped talking here, and Kunikida asked, "Where is San?"

"...After I touch the cypress wood, if the memory crystals that have been used have not returned to the original owner's mind, maybe a third action will be carried out-that is, I will use each 'purchaser' Ability."

"If none of the three works, the memory won't come back at all, will it?"

"So it's best to touch the cypress to solve the problem." Dazai said, "I don't want to be so troublesome."

After removing the pile of crystals in his hand, he looked at the red light disappearing in the air.The police investigators who came to deal with the case also found a small locked box in the factory. After Dazai solved the problem with his exquisite gun, the scarlet crystal in the box appeared in his sight .

Kunikida sighed: "What kind of pain is needed to extract such crystals..."

Dazai lightly touched the surface of the crystal just like before.

The surface of the prismatic crystal was smooth and cold, and the moment his fingertips touched it, it had a chemical reaction with his ability, and quickly disintegrated in the November air.

After Kunikida saw this scene, he thought that this matter had finally come to an end, so he turned around and briefly handed over the work to the police. A few minutes later, he put away his notepad, only to find that his partner was still standing there It was unbelievably quiet.

Normally, Dazai would happily call it a day to call it a day.

No, when it's even worse, he can't see anyone when he turns around - Kunikida thought to himself.

The half-open windows on the roof of the factory are facing the moon that has not yet fully appeared overhead.The evening light fell on the face of the moon, making him look like a black and gray hook in the air.

Dazai remained unbelievably quiet.

"What's wrong?" Kunikida asked out of humanitarian concern.

It took a full two seconds before he got a reply from his colleague: "Nothing."

When Kunikida thought there was something wrong with him that he didn't notice, and was about to ask him, Dazai clapped his hands immediately, spoke cunningly as usual, and ran cleanly with oil on the soles of his feet.

"That's right, Kunikida-kun, I remember something urgent—see you tomorrow!"

"..." Kunikida was angry at the little bit of worry he still had in the last second, "You bastard! At least finish the on-site report for me!!!"

After Dazai left the scene, he quickly returned to the road he was familiar with.

Something that needed to be confirmed forced him to quicken his pace.

...if what he saw in the crystals he came across was real.

Then he must confirm all this with his own eyes now.

……

Zhenmo was washing dishes in the kitchen. When she heard the door opening, she subconsciously asked, "Did you forget to bring something?"

No one responded to her, only the sound of footsteps approaching her, she turned her head in confusion, and saw Dazai's face.

"Mr. Dazai?" She was surprised that his time came, "Do you want something to eat?"

"No." Dazai asked, "Did she go out?"

No need to ask, Zhenmo knew who he was referring to.

"I went out 5 minutes ago." She said, "She looked worried, and just said that she would go out for a walk to get some air."

Dazai smiled softly: "Thank you."

……

……

Ashamed to say, after dinner, I couldn’t bear to pretend to be a fool at the dinner table, took my mobile phone, earphones and wallet, said “I’m going out for a walk” and ran around by myself.

Then again, I knew that I was right about everything wrong, but I ended up in a state of panic all day long. Is it because of the wrong position of the string that this deviation occurred?

When I left home and went to the street where no one knew me, I felt another kind of pleasure that was almost liberated.

Where everyone knows me, I have to worry about everyone forgetting me - I know it's not their fault, but when I think of the person who might have been chatting and joking with you at the dinner table the last second, The next second I ask who you are from a stranger, and my hands are cold.

When people go to the night and are watched by the stars and the moon, they tend to think about things, and in the end they are full of fanciful ideas that they would never do at ordinary times.

At this moment, I had a weird but reasonable thought.

——I want to go a little further than usual.

It's like a short-term runaway, a one-night runaway.

As I thought about it, my feet seemed to be supported by the wind, and I walked to the subway station without knowing it.

"Go to a place farther away." I said to myself, "No, but it's not too far away. It's only after seven o'clock, and I can even watch a movie, and then go to a nearby hotel to sleep for the night, do something that I don't usually do in peace. Same thing, change your mood."

So be it, just do it!

I got off the subway station, and as soon as I entered the turnstile, I received a call from Dazai.

He has been busy with work recently, and I dare not disturb him, but now he has contacted me proactively, which proves that work has come to an end.I looked at the name on the caller ID, and my mood inexplicably improved a little.

"Mr. Dazai?"

"Yi Jun, where are you now?"

I seldom heard him use such concise and powerful sentences. You must know that there are probably reasons for a person's abnormal behavior.Dazai's "urgency" suddenly appeared naked, and I was surprised and worried at the same time.

The time chime sounded in the subway station.

"...Are you at the subway station?"

"Hmm," I said, "what's the matter?"

His voice made me more and more unpredictable, so I had to ask him back.

"Yi Jun, don't get in the car." There was noise behind his voice, like wind.

"...Huh? Could be... what happened?"

As I spoke, I slowed down and walked to the escalator going down.

When he said this suddenly, I wondered if some terrorist incident had happened, for example, the subway station was attacked by criminals and the hostages were taken.

But when I looked around, there was peace.

"Where are you going now?" he asked me on the phone.

"Two or three stops away from here." I said, "actually there is no clear purpose."

Because of talking to him, my pace also slowed down. I just arrived at the platform at this moment, and the notification sound for entering the station has already sounded.

"Have you reached the station yet?"

"Yeah." I stood by the platform, "...I didn't get on the train."

The pedestrians who came and went were busy with their own affairs with their heads down, and no one would notice whether I got in the car or not.

At this moment, the flow of people is unexpectedly larger than I expected. I think it is because several foreign-funded enterprises in the vicinity are all crowded here during off-duty hours.

"Where are you?"

His voice came from the earpiece again, and the footsteps and thin human voices in the background seemed to be exactly the same as what I heard now.

I realized Mr. Dazai and I were in the same space.

"... near the platform, can you see me?"

I held up my mobile phone and looked around, trying to find the figure of the young man.

"Yeah." His tone was relaxed and calm, "I see you."

But I haven't seen him yet.

"You turn right, take three steps, then turn around."

I followed what he said meticulously, and then, in the gap between the figures shuttling, I saw Dazai who was also holding a mobile phone a few meters away from me.The crowd was like a net with uneven density, swaying in front of me, making it difficult for me to see Dazai's expression clearly.

However, just doing the same action of raising the phone as him, can give me a sense of security that has traveled through space.

"Mr. Dazai." Between the gray and brown abstract figures, his presence was so strong to me, "I see you."

The noise reduction effect of the mobile phone is very poor. During these few steps, all I heard was noise.

The subway in the opposite direction sounded an incoming signal.

The sound of people whispering insignificant things.

The sound of high heels and leather shoes trampling on the floor.

The sound of office workers complaining on their mobile phones after overtime.

And the exaggerated, restless sound of my heart.

"Ah."

He didn't put down his mobile phone, and every step seemed to be an unchanging pace. He passed through the crowd smoothly and walked towards me without any deviation.

Osamu Dazai appeared vividly in front of me.

I felt the grip on my hanging arm, and it went down, all the way into my palm - he took my hand.

"Yi Jun is too close to the platform."

"—come to me."

The author has something to say:

Zai: Yi Jun, come over a little bit, the platform is so dangerous!

Today I'm just a little fatter than usual.

The relationship has progressed by leaps and bounds (Abaaaba really)
