The whole of Yokohama thought we were together

The interrogation of the prisoner came to an end. Kunikida Doppo got in touch with the police about the license plate and vehicle model after receiving a call from Oda Sakunosuke. After two days, he finally got some information.

"...Why is there no one?"

Tanizaki Junichiro stood in the corridor, looking at the surveillance photos just sent by the police, confused.

In the photo, a car whose model and license plate matched the prisoner’s description was driving between Yokohama and Tokyo. All the scenes captured in the photo were normal, except for one thing—there was no one in the driver’s seat.

"Maybe some technology was used to erase the face~"

Tanizaki Naomi, who happened to accompany him out, stuck behind him, poked her hand in from the opponent's waist, was surprised for a moment, and laughed again.

"Huh? Brother~ Brother~ Da~ren~ Are you shaking?"

Tanizaki Junichiro smiled dryly: "It was you who suddenly...scared me..."

"Hey~Brother~Aren't you familiar yet?"

Naomi Tanizaki smiled sweetly, and when she was about to go further, the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs made the two of them pause.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Tanizaki Junichiro: "..."

Naomi Tanizaki's smile remained unchanged: "Mr. Dazai, good morning."

"Good morning." Osamu Dazai said politely.

He walked past them to the door of the detective agency with his expression unchanged, but when he opened the door, his thoughts still couldn't help wandering.

[… Are they really brothers and sisters? ]

The thoughts that were flying around were quickly pulled back, and Kunikida Doppo, who had already started to enter the office mode, saw him and held up the document in hand, "Dazai, you came just in time, the report you submitted yesterday was written too well. It’s abbreviated, some places are not clear, please change it again.”

Osamu Dazai didn't respond in a hurry, and glanced around the detective agency. He didn't see the shadow of Oda Sakunosuke, which was a little strange.

"What about people?"

"Who is it?" Kunikida Doppo finally raised his head from his work, saw him pointing to a seat not far away, and said, "Oda came later today, he should go to the child's place."

[Oh, no wonder he left so early today, I thought he was in a hurry to go to work. ]

Osamu Dazai thought, took the document in Kunikida Doppo's hand, looked at it twice, and found it boring again.

When the Armed Detective Agency didn’t have a commission (it’s just that the commission didn’t fall to Osamu Dazai recently), he was really free, so free that he felt a little bored, and wanted to do something exciting again.

"I want to skip work."

So Dazai said bluntly.

Kunikida Doppo raised his head at an exceptionally slow speed, like a slow motion movie, and looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"

[Did he overhear just now or did this guy really say those four words? ]

Osamu Dazai: "I think—"

Before he finished speaking, he watched Kunikida Doppo break the pen in his hand with one hand.

The hard pen body shattered in half, and some scum fell directly to the ground.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Kunikida Doppo: "Do you still want to?"

"..." Osamu Dazai was silent for two seconds, and changed the subject, "I don't think there is anything that needs to be changed in my report, what is unclear?"

When Kunikida saw him talking about business, he became serious, "You only write the result, and those few lines are of course clear. What about the process? Also, about the other person in the mist, where did you see it? Didn't write it."

"That's not what I saw." Osamu Dazai said.

Kunikida Doppo was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"I always thought that if Taro Shiratori could accurately take people away in the fog, he wouldn't hit me easily, so I just made up a random person to trick him, but I guessed it right " Dazai Osamu said, "If this process is necessary...just put this matter in Shiratori Taro's confession."

"Write it realistically!" Kunikida Doppo tapped on the document.

[The guesses can all come true, this guy is really lucky... Oh, no, in the end he is still smart enough, I'm afraid he knew it before he cheated the other party. ]

Osamu Dazai sighed troubled in his heart, turned his head and saw Junichiro Tanizaki walking in with a picture, he gave way, and after Kunikida Doppo's attention was on the other party, he dropped the document and slipped out into a detective agency.

[Things like skipping work... should be done directly. ]

Coming out of the building, Osamu Dazai took in a mouthful of fresh cold air, and after slowly exhaling, he took out the note that had been with him since he lost his memory from his pocket.

Before, I planned to get a mobile phone first, and then try to dial this number to see who that "Yato" is.

Now the mobile phone has been completed in the procurement of the detective agency, but Osamu Dazai stared at the string of numbers for a while, then put it back in his pocket again.

He looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, thought for a moment, and walked straight down to the right.

[The orphanage...is in this direction. ]

--

"Huh? Oda, why are you here today?"

The western restaurant on the corner of the street, when you open the door, you can see the fat boss wearing an apron wiping the tables. There is no one in the shop, and it is much quieter than outside, so when he heard the movement, the boss looked up.

Oda Sakunosuke walked in and rubbed his hair, "I got the money today, so I thought about sending it here first."

"Oda..." The boss patted his stomach, "Although my shop is deserted all year round, every time you give me money in such a hurry, there is always an illusion that I will close the store tomorrow."

"Really? If the door is going to close one day, I hope the boss can tell me in advance," Oda Sakunosuke said sincerely, "I can find a house for the children in advance."

The boss sighed.

[Am I kidding so badly? ]

After handing over the money, Oda Sakunosuke ordered another spicy curry, and then walked to the longhouse next to him, ready to see the children.

As soon as he entered the door, as expected, a huge object fell from the upper bunk of the double bed on the right, and it rode on his neck in an instant. fall.

However, Oda Sakunosuke just raised his hand and grabbed and lifted the child on his neck, and his legs were even more motionless, which easily bankrupted their plan.

"Mission failed, you don't have any bounties this time." Oda Sakunosuke joked calmly.

"Hey! I told them to go together! Next time we will definitely be able to 'mission succeed'!"

The boy who was caught was Xingsuke, the oldest among the group of children, but even so, he was not over ten years old, so although he always looked like a little adult on weekdays, he couldn't help pouting when he was upset .

After hearing what he said, a dozen or so children around him booed together, saying that he had been yelling about this sentence for a long time.

"Don't laugh!" Xingjie snorted, "My goal is to become the most famous detective in the world! I will definitely succeed!"

Amidst laughter, Oda Sakunosuke put him down, then squatted down, "Holmes?"

"I want to be a better detective than Sherlock Holmes!" Xingsuke glanced at him, then quickly looked away, "How about it... I have to be as good at both civil and military skills as you..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and at the end he sounded like a mosquito, but his face turned redder and redder.

Oda Sakunosuke was a little surprised.

[like me?But I am not both civil and military.If you want to be smart, you should be like Dazai or Ranpo-san...]

After playing with the children for a while, Oda Sakunosuke returned to the western restaurant. The boss had already put the prepared curry rice in his usual place, but he was not in the restaurant. There was a faint voice from the back kitchen. Washing dishes.

It wasn't until a plate of spicy curry was almost finished that the boss entered the restaurant again. Seeing that he was still there, he asked casually, "Oda, it's almost the new year, don't you have a holiday?"

"Hmm..." Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while, and said, "It was released last year, so it should be the same this year."

Boss: "Any plans?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "Buy some things and come back with the children."

"Oh, that's true." The boss looked at him with a hint of pity in his expression, and his words were full of sincerity, "Oda, your life is so monotonous that it's scary."

Oda Sakunosuke was puzzled: "...Huh?"

"If things go on like this, life can be seen at a glance." The boss shook his head, "Lonely, Oda!"

Oda Sakunosuke was even more confused: "I'm not alone, I have children."

The boss feels very sorry.

I'm afraid that in this life, I will never see Oda have a chance to make a girlfriend.

The location of the orphanage in the photo is really far away. Osamu Dazai walked around this area for a long time, and Tsurumi saw it twice before finally finding the gate of the orphanage.The gate seems to have been renovated, and it looks very new. It is roughly estimated that it has not been more than five years.

On the road leading to the orphanage, there are many newly planted saplings on both sides of the road, which are about the same height as him. The trunks are covered with a layer of snow. There has been no sun in the past two days, so the falling snow has not melted much at all.

On the whole, although this orphanage is not very gorgeous, it is neat and clean. The director should be a very responsible person.

He walked to the gate and looked inside through the iron railing.

It seemed that it was time for activities in the morning. There were a lot of children outside. Half of them gathered around and were playing some games. The other half stood under the tree, looking up at the person on the tree to take the kite hanging on it.

The man on the tree had white hair and black clothes, and his features were so obvious that Osamu Dazai knew who it was as soon as he saw him.

When Atsushi Nakajima got the kite, the children on the ground cheered, but he squatted down on the branch and waved to the children below, as if to let them get out of the way.

After the children made room, he held the kite in one hand and jumped off the tree neatly.

The children surrounded him, and when he handed the kite to a child, he seemed to sense it, and suddenly looked up in the direction of the gate.

The moment he saw the person coming, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Dazai?!"
