The whole of Yokohama thought we were together

"What do you want to know?"

Osamu Dazai bit the bread he collected from the other party's dormitory without guilt, and said vaguely: "Tell me something you know, but the police don't know."

At this moment, the three of them have moved from that small warehouse to the dormitory where the boy lives in Yokohama High School. The dormitory for two people is very spacious, but it seems that because of the insufficient number of students, he is the only one living in this dormitory for the boy.

The boy's surname is Kawada, even if he is concerned about the school badge in Osamu Dazai's hand, he can't show a good face when facing such a person who forces him to trade and eats his bread.

Seemingly for a quick decision, Kawata released a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth:

"The day before the student council president disappeared, and in the middle of the night on the second day of his disappearance, I heard someone running in the fog."

After the words fell, Dazai Osamu kept eating bread, but Oda Sakunosuke asked back: "Fog?"

Kawada: "Yes, the mountainous area where Yokohama High School is located is very foggy. Usually, there can be four or five times a day, but this kind of fog comes suddenly and goes quickly, and it will not delay the students."

It is true that nothing will be delayed during the day, but at night when the vision is already unclear, it is the best background to cover something.

Oda Sakunosuke frowned in thought.

[Could the running sound be the police... But the police are here to investigate and protect, and if there is nothing wrong, they won't run suddenly at night.Besides, the police hadn't arrived here before the student council president disappeared. ]

Osamu Dazai didn't seem to think about it so much, he just asked in a casual manner, "What are you doing up in the middle of the night?"

"Wake up at night." Kawata said angrily, "Have you ever had the experience of being woken up by peeing in the middle of the night?"

"No." Dazai said naturally, "I always go to the bathroom before going to bed at night."

Kawata: "..."

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

Although he felt that there was something wrong with this topic, but after thinking about it, he found that his habits were the same as Dazai Osamu.

"...Didn't you find that you went off topic?!"

Kunikida Doppo, who was called over by a text message from Oda Sakunosuke, stood at the door of the dormitory, looking at the three people in the room with a look of resentment, his brows were frowning so tightly that they almost burst into flames.

Osamu Dazai spread his hands: "Then you can ask."

"Hey! Then my badge—"

Before Kawada finished speaking, he saw that the other party had taken out the school badge from nowhere, waved it in front of his eyes, and then took it back, "Isn't the transaction not yet completed?"

Kawada: "...How about the bread?!"

Osamu Dazai didn't change his face: "You pay for my coat."

[are you crazy!Didn't you forcefully give me that dress?It's not my business! ]

Rao Kawata, who had already had a will to die, was forced to regain some vitality by Dazai Osamu's few words at this moment, and even wanted to beat someone up.

Fortunately, Kunikida walked in alone, and his upright look immediately brought the atmosphere in the room to the right direction. He first handed the notepad in his hand to Sakunosuke Oda, and then walked to the bed opposite Kawada and sat down.

Osamu Dazai didn't seem to want to be next to him very much. After he sat down, he moved his body to the side, but didn't look at him, and was concentrating on folding the bread wrapping paper in his hand into different shapes.

Kunikida Doppo didn't care about his small gestures, and asked as soon as he sat down: "How can you be sure that the voice you heard is real? The police didn't say that there was any movement on the second night when the student council president disappeared. .”

"Of course they can't hear anything." Kawata twitched his lips, "They're just a group of ordinary people..."

"What do you mean?" Kunikida Doppo grasped the word "normal" and asked incredulously, "Are you—"

Before the words were finished, except Osamu Dazai who was still folding paper, the other two people saw a cluster of flames that appeared on the boy's fingertips.

The flames trembled and seemed to be extinguished at any time, but even so, it can be proved that the young man has already left the category of ordinary people——

He is a superhuman.

Kawata looked at several people in the room expressionlessly, and then, he didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with Dazai Osamu's absent-minded appearance, or hated that the other party threatened him with the school badge. He moved his fingertips, and the flame instantly went towards Dazai Osamu!

Kunikida Doppo: "Hi!"

Oda Sakunosuke had sharp eyes and quick hands, and the moment Kawada moved, he stretched out his hand to pull Dazai Osamu away from his original position.

And the cluster of weak flames had slowly dissipated before they reached Osamu Dazai.

Looking back, the person pulled up by Oda Sakunosuke didn't even notice the weak attack, and was still stuck in his origami game.

Kunikida Dobubu: "..."

[What I have recently come into contact with is scary stuff! ]

He regained his senses from the shock, and only had time to rethink the meaning of Kawata's words.

Since it was a voice that only the supernatural beings could hear, there was no doubt that the criminal was the supernatural being they had guessed.

Let’s not talk about why the Supernatural Secret Service Division didn’t record the existence of supernatural beings in Yokohama High School, but just talk about the fact that “the night before the president disappeared, there was the sound of running” in Kawada’s words, if the superhuman criminals appeared that night , but no one is missing from the school, so what is the purpose of their arrival?

Do you want to step on the spot?

While Kunikida was thinking alone, Osamu Dazai finally finished the origami. He casually turned the result in his hand, and a glance from the corner of his eye made him notice the notebook in Oda Sakuyuki's assistant.

He was not interested in the densely packed words on the book, but the patterns below attracted him.

[Looks like a timeline. ]

A number line runs from left to right, the position of the origin is marked with "▲", and the note reads "The President of the Student Council is Missing".

▲And three "?" are written above the two dots to the left, and the note is "The second-year high school boy is missing".

Two dots away from the right side of "Student Council President Missing" is another ▲, this time it says "Second Year Girl Missing". Similarly, three dots away from this ▲ is written "Mayor's Daughter Missing" " of ▲.

Then there are two "●"s that were clearly drawn just now, one was the day before the disappearance of the student council president, and the other was the day after the disappearance.

[Hmm... clear and clear. ]

Dazai Osamu thought about it, and then glanced at Oda Sakunosuke. If the other party felt something, he didn't raise his eyes to look at him. Instead, his eyes moved down and fell on Dazai Osamu's hand holding the origami result.

He actually folded a living rabbit out of wrapping paper.

Oda Sakunosuke was a little distracted.

[What a skillful hand... I don’t know if the children at home will like it, if I ask for advice, will he be willing to teach? ]

But Dazai Osamu didn't get a response to his inquiry about borrowing his pen, so he simply pulled the pen out of Oda Sakuyuki's assistant, and in a way that looked awkward, the "?" on the far left of the timeline There is a "▲" below.

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses, instantly understanding what he wanted to say: "Do you think that high school sophomore boy disappeared on this day?"

If we guess this way, from the timeline, there is a one-day interval between the disappearance of the sophomore boy and the student council president, two days between the student council president and the sophomore girl, and three days between the sophomore girl and the mayor's daughter.

but……

"Which day? The day before the disappearance of the student council president?" Seeing Sakunosuke Oda nodding his head, Kunikida Doppo said, "I asked the parents of the sophomore boy, and she said that it's normal for that student not to go home occasionally. , It’s just that it’s mostly one or two days, and there are very few consecutive three days, but it’s not unheard of, so the parents didn’t think about the disappearance at first. It’s just that the head teacher happened to ask, and then thinking about the situation in the school, That's why I panicked."

He frowned, "Although the boy is indeed missing now, the exact time is still uncertain."

"I think it was that day." Kawata answered suddenly.

Kunikida Doppo: "Why?"

Kawata didn't want to explain, but when his gaze inadvertently fell on the rabbit in Dazai Osamu's hand, his expression darkened slightly, he lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, before opening his mouth.

"Because he wanted to come to me that day."

Kunikida Doppo was puzzled: "You know him? Aren't you in the same class as the mayor's daughter? What does he want you for?"

Kawata smiled suddenly, before he could completely shake off the hatred and sarcasm that flashed across his immature face, "It's because I'm in the same class as her, and he followed the wishes of the student council president to teach me."

[School violence? ! ]

This word flashed through Kunikida Doppo's mind, and his expression became more serious. He asked about this matter carefully, and from Kawada's answer, he roughly spelled out the story about him, the mayor's daughter, the chairman, and the bad guy.

Kawata was originally just an ordinary second-year student in Yokohama High School. Because of his thin body, poor grades, and no family background, he soon became the target of bullying in the eyes of those bad guys.Kawata knew very well that in the eyes of the teacher, only those good students who could increase the school's enrollment rate, even if such a thing happened to a poor student like him, no one would care, so he never thought of exposing this matter to the public.

Until a transfer student came to the school.

She is beautiful, her family background is superior, she studies well, and she has no airs. Naturally, there are many people in the school who fawn on her. Even in the activities organized by the school, the student council president favors her.

But maybe I saw the scene of Kawada being bullied on the day I transferred to another school. In addition to "ignoring" all the people who admired her, this lady also took good care of Kawada, a "transparent" person, which naturally aroused the suspicion of others. dissatisfied.

The most obvious thing is that those unhealthy taunts were replaced by punches and kicks.

"However, I have to 'thank' them for treating me like this, so that I have the opportunity to hear the relationship between them and the president from the leaked words of those people." Kawada said.

Who would have thought that the president of the student council, who is glamorous on the surface, is secretly involved with evil.

Kunikida Doppo looked gloomy and did not speak.

After hearing his story, Osamu Dazai said, "Looking at it this way, you are related to three of the four missing students—how does this disappearance seem to be designed by you?"

Kunikida Doppo glared at him for a moment.

[Can instantly think of the victim as a suspect, how does this person's head grow! ]
