Uchiha's superpowers

Chapter 68 Spider Web

The night near summer was hot and rainy, the whole street echoed with the sound of wet raindrops cracking, the sky was occupied by thick cumulonimbus clouds, and the stars and the moon were lost.

On the unmanned bus platform, the dim light fell down, and Fukuzawa Yukichi stood silently in the shadow not covered by the light, wearing haori as always, holding a huge black umbrella in his hand, slightly Leaning forward, hiding his entire face under the fan.

According to Edogawa Ranpo's instructions, he negotiated with the Supernatural Secret Service Division and is waiting for someone here.

There was the characteristic snorting sound of the bus in the distance, and the accumulated water splashed over the road and splashed on the green belts on both sides, leaving deep and shallow mud spots.

coming.

Fukuzawa Yukichi recited silently in his heart.

At 11:34, Guangtai Station, the last bus.

After a splash of water, the old bus, which was dull and rusty, stopped in front of him.

Fukuzawa Yukichi put away the umbrella, shook off the raindrops falling on the fan, lowered his head, careful not to reveal his true face, and got into the car as if nothing had happened.

There was only one passenger in the same dim bus, sitting on the last window seat, looking like an office worker working overtime late at night, wearing a decent suit with slight wrinkles, holding a briefcase in both hands, hanging down The head is resting with eyes closed.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked calm, walked steadily to the last row of seats on the wobbly bus that restarted and drove to the next stop, and sat down a seat away from him.

The change of scenery outside the window is getting faster and faster, and the silent street lamps standing on the side of the road bring bursts of fleeting light to the inside of the bus. The poor sound insulation of the old bus can't block the noisy rain, There is also noise in the bus with people talking.

Fukuzawa Yukichi sat quietly on the uncomfortable bus seat and waited.

Fukuzawa Yukichi felt a slight pressure from his fingertips when the bus once again fell into the brief darkness after the light.

Without looking back, he slowly and patiently put the notebook-like object into the wide feathered sleeves, trying not to make any noise.

laugh----

The speed of the bus gradually slowed down, and it sighed overwhelmed like a tired and aging animal.

The office worker with his eyes closed leaned forward under inertia, opened his sleepy eyes under the sudden shaking, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

He stood up in a panic with his briefcase, said sorry and passed Fukuzawa Yukichi sideways, and got off the bus before it restarted, showing a relieved look.

And Fukuzawa Yukichi stroked the old notebook that he had tucked into his sleeve like this bus, and continued to wait silently for the next stop.

Oda Sakunosuke received a strange task from his current boss Edogawa Ranpo today.

—Give a letter to someone.

But Edogawa Ranpo did not tell him who to deliver, nor did he tell him when and where to deliver the letter.

Edogawa Ranpo just said to him, "Oda, just take the letter with you and go home from get off work."

He was holding a bag of potato chips that was almost empty, trying to reach for the last full piece of potato chips at the bottom of the bag, and even the tone of explaining the task seemed casual, "He will get it himself."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't ask anything, just accepted the letter normally and put it in the inner pocket of his suit, and left work as usual as Edogawa Ranpo explained.

After that, he planned to visit the children who lived with the owner of the curry shop, so he went to the snack shop that Edogawa Rampo often went to and chose some rough dim sum.

Holding a big bag full of rough snacks, Oda Sakunosuke saw a cute doll in a boutique on the street again, and remembered that the doll of the only girl among the five children, Sakile, was a bit old, so he went in and bought the one Dolls, and took them to the children together.

After putting down the paper bag containing the thick snacks, Oda Sakunosuke breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his shoulders that were a little stiff because he had been maintaining the same posture, and suddenly remembered the task that Edogawa Ranpo had given him, and put his hand into the suit jacket Inside touched the inner pocket.

is empty.

.

According to Edogawa Ranpo's explanation, Fukuzawa Yukichi got his notebook from Ango Sakaguchi, which contained the incomplete list of members of various departments within the port mafia. The upper level is more simple, and even the five major cadres and leaders only have some basic information about their names and genders, and even their preferences are guessed by themselves based on some rumors.

Also attached is a copy of March's fiscal expenditures recovered from the logistics department's paper shredder.

Ango Sakaguchi, who has a supernatural ability [Theory of Fall], can be said to be a fish in water in terms of obtaining information, especially since he has infiltrated the port mafia, he can obtain more information.

But even so, there are still large blanks in the manuscript submitted by Ango Sakaguchi.

This is not information that he failed to obtain, but information that the voyeur who is always monitoring his heart does not allow him to pass it on to the outside world.

And since Fukuzawa Yukichi can get this information, the Supernatural Secret Service Section can naturally also get it. Fukuzawa Yukichi compared the information backed up inside the Supernatural Secret Service Section and found that apart from minor changes in the personnel list, What he got extra was this financial expenditure bill.

Edogawa Ranpo told him from the very beginning——

"The important thing is not what you get from Ango Sakaguchi, but how much you can get." He wrote down a few key words on a piece of paper and handed it to Fukuzawa Yukichi, saying, "In order to let You can understand, you can just look for these keywords in the extra information you got."

Fukuzawa Yukichi took down the scribbles written on that piece of paper.

Peeping Heart, C-1701, House of Sweet Love, Ishigami Tetsuzo, Uchiha Sasuke, Ninjutsu, Tomato, Iruma BBQ House...

These are all seemingly unrelated words.

But because Edogawa Ranpo said so, Fukuzawa Yukichi flipped through the notebook quite seriously and checked it one by one.

Eleven keywords appeared.

——"The number of keywords is related to Uchiha's attitude." After handing the paper to Fukuzawa Yukichi, Edogawa Ranpo said, "If there are more than ten, then it means that Uchiha is not firm about him. From the position of the Port Mafia, as long as the bargaining chips offered by the Special Ability Section are attractive enough, he doesn’t mind defecting to the side of the Ability Secret Service.”

"No matter how many keywords appear, you have to go to Warehouse Street on May 5 to get the letter I gave you from this person." Ranpo Edogawa took out his mobile phone, and found out from the photo album that he was on a certain day. Show Fukuzawa Yukichi a photo of Oda Sakunosuke with ketchup on his face when he was playing.

"If it exceeds or is equal to ten, you open the letter. If it is less than ten, you burn the letter directly and continue according to the plan I gave you."

The normal-looking, good-natured man in the photo is not an easy character to deal with.

Fukuzawa Yukichi noticed when observing Sakunosuke Oda on the warehouse street. That person is very vigilant, has a reaction speed and keen intuition far exceeding the average person, and it is not easy to take something away from him. .

but.

Although it is not easy, it is not impossible to achieve.

Fukuzawa opened the letters after returning to his temporary residence in Yokohama.

Inside was a cut-out color picture and a piece of letter paper.

There was only one sentence written on the blank letter paper.

[Post the painting anonymously to this address, and write it received by Osamu Dazai. ]

Below is the address of a strange apartment.

Fukuzawa Yukichi took a look at the picture that looked like it was cut from a book of fairy tales.

A candy house is depicted in bright colors, and a cut-out text is printed on the back of the card.

"Sorry, we are children lost in the forest."[1]

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked back and forth twice, but found nothing special, and couldn't figure out why Edogawa Ranpo asked him to send this picture to Osamu Dazai.

Dazai Osamu, this notorious young man even Fukuzawa Yukichi has heard of. Under his command, it seems that no enemy can steal a single bit of profit from the port mafia. The untold wealth and jewels of the Mafia are soaked in blood and violence.

—he was born villain, ghoul and mafia.

The enemies who were afraid of him commented on him like cursing or praising him.

If you don’t understand it, don’t think about it. Fukuzawa Yukichi was overwhelmed by his almost terrifying intelligence the first time he saw Edogawa Ranpo. Since Edogawa Ranpo asked him to do it, then there must be What he didn't think of was the intention.

As stated in the letter, Fukuzawa Yukichi put the picture in an envelope and mailed it anonymously to that address.

After about three days.

Nakahara Chuya also took out a strange letter from Osamu Dazai in his mailbox.

"Huh?" Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned and picked up the letter with two fingers in disgust. Of course, he would not open other people's letters because of his integrity.

Even because he was used to being pitted by Dazai, he didn't think much about it at all, "Did that mackerel get into trouble again and fill in my home address?"

Nakahara Chuya put the letter in the half-written report, and decided to pass the letter to Osamu Dazai when he went to the office.

But Osamu Dazai, who skipped work every day, was not in his own office at all, so Nakahara delayed for a while, and handed over the letter to him when he went on a mission with Osamu Dazai in the afternoon.

By the way, he warned him with his fist, "Bastard! Don't give out other people's addresses casually!"

"Maybe it's a courtship letter from some beautiful young lady, Chuya, you should be grateful to me, if it wasn't for me, a dark dwarf like you would never have a woman look at you in his life." Osamu Dazai habitually Di also said vicious words to Zhong Yuanzhong, with a frivolous smile on his face.

But when he turned his head, Osamu Dazai's expression became a little serious.

Although he often swipes Chuya's card, drives Chuya's car, and drinks Chuya's wine, leaking his address may put Chuya in danger——

—He never did.

Osamu Dazai picked up the fluttering letter, his kite-colored pupils revealed a dignified expression.
