Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(17) Has the detective downstairs on a business trip returned?

The distance between Yokohama and Tokyo is not far, but when I recall the first time I met Rinya Orihara, I only remember the continuous rain.At that time, I never thought that I would have such a cooperation with Orihara Lin in a few years.

Orihara Rin also has a handsome appearance, and occasionally looking at him wrongly makes people think that he is indistinguishable from male and female.

But unlike the handsome Amame Ren, this person is arrogant and arrogant, with a provocative and crazy smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes people fearful and timid.Of course, he will occasionally act gentle and considerate, it depends on "his mood" and "whether it is necessary".

Orihara Rinya was originally a well-known intelligence dealer in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. He has a flexible mind and agility. He is often a key figure in major events, and occasionally he may be behind the scenes.Until two years ago, I met Orihara Rinya who lived in seclusion in a small city again.His legs were crippled in a fight with others, and he had to live in a wheelchair ever since.

There is one thing to mention here.

Orihara's leg injury was not permanent.

But he insisted on not rehabilitating on the grounds that "he thinks this is a lesson to him".

Maybe it's because I haven't reached this ideological height, so I can't understand him.

The relationship between me and him is a very simple money cooperation relationship of "even if benevolence and righteousness are not there, business is still there".

If you ask why you want to cooperate with someone like him who is afraid of chaos, I will work backwards from the worst result. If he makes a mistake or deliberately troubles me, I can not only make him spit out the money, but also Squeeze all his abilities and value openly and squarely.

As far as I am concerned, it is not all harm but no benefit.

However, I don't know if he noticed my thoughts, but he didn't make too outrageous mistakes in front of me.Although, this time I saw that I didn't recover my memory for two years, and it wasn't until the identity of "Kasashia" was almost regarded as "defection" by the black organization that he started to take action, which wasted more than a year of my time.But after all, he didn't delay me too much.

Looking back now, the few inexplicable gifts I received back then were all directly or indirectly related to Orihara Rin.

After returning from Yokohama Chinatown, I received a newspaper of unknown origin—it was from Goro Akechi, who collaborated with Rinya Orihara.

There were repeated emails on the phone for no reason—it was Orihara Rin who also revealed my message to Gin.

Received an unexpected notice from Phantom Thieves—"Amnesia" was a plan I and Orihara Rinya made.

The inexplicable umbrella that was sent to my house—it was Rinya Orihara who took the initiative to talk to me, and the content of the thank you letter was left to me by him.

And these small items correspond to what I have to do one by one. Restoring memory and completing the goals of the black organization are all on the plan.

When I got off the train at Yokohama Station, I also met Orihara Rin who was sitting in a wheelchair.He was wearing a light and soft black low-necked long gown, with sharp and prominent right-angled shoulders like a knife cut, and he did not look thin and bony, but instead had a light, majestic and beautiful feeling.

Orihara was still as childlike as ever.

Now if asked about his age, I think he can still say that he is only 21 years old without shame.

If you have to talk about the difference between him and two years ago, it is probably the difference between the wheelchair and the electric wheelchair.In the future, it may not be so easy for me to play with his wheelchair brakes.So, I logically dismissed the idea of ​​throwing him into the train track just now on the train.

Orihara looked at me with crooked eyebrows: "You look good, why didn't you come to see me when you came to Yokohama last time? I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I'm skeptical about your last sentence." I naturally walked behind him, turned on his automatic brake, and walked out of the train station along the slippery slope specially designed for the disabled. "Haven't you been watching me all the time? Ever since Conan Doyle walked away with my umbrella, you should have been paying close attention to me, but you just didn't want me to see it."

"Hey, I thought you'd think it was that cadre from the Port Mafia who took your umbrella. I was still fantasizing about you giggling, but you already knew that. Oh, it's so boring Let's go." Orihara Lin also deliberately made an exaggerated expression of surprise.

……

Orihara Rin also said some things without good reasoning.

I've mentioned the unnaturalness twice before.

First of all, there is no reason for a person to keep a stranger's umbrella for more than two weeks unless he deliberately takes the umbrella for his own use.He can choose to put it back in the original place, put it in the police station, or throw it away instead of finding the original owner.The time I held the umbrella was when I was waiting for Mr. Mori and the others downstairs in Zhonghua, and an hour had passed since the end of the meal, and the umbrella disappeared after I came out.That is to say, the only way to know that I am the owner of the umbrella is to wait for someone for a few minutes.

So, how did the other party remember my face without any memory points?At least, according to what I know of Nakahara Chuya, it is impossible for him to rely on a few minutes of memory to remember the appearance of a stranger who has not met for more than two weeks.

But thinking about it from another angle, it is justifiable to be entrusted by others.

Second, the very act of returning an umbrella is unnatural.

After the first return was unsuccessful, a thank-you letter implying a four-digit password was hung on the second return. This is obviously only someone who knows me well.

On a rainy day that day, Nakahara Chuya would return the umbrella for me, probably because Orihara Rinya, who was in a wheelchair, pretended to be pitiful and begged the "passing" Nakahara Nakaya to help him return it.What is certain of this is that when Nakahara Chuya turned back after leaving, he was not looking at me at first, but was looking for the location of Orihara Rinya.After all, the plan went wrong.It's just that he didn't expect to meet my eyes, so his expression also seemed unnatural.

Orihara Lin also ignored my non-response at all, and sighed: "It's a pity that you all took a look at the long-term lens in the rain. If I knew that your eyes would meet, I would have captured it for you. Do you want me to make it for you again?" What chance?"

I said blankly, "Did you say you were happy?"

As soon as these words fell, Orihara Lin also became quiet.

"Aren't you going to tell me bad news?" I said calmly, "It's not suitable to say it on the phone, can you say it here?"

"Of course we can't say anything here." Orihara Lin rested his chin on one hand, and casually glanced at the people coming and going in the station.

"Oh, I thought you lied to me on purpose. I want to see me rushing to the station, and then tell me it's a joke, so I can make fun of it."

Just after I finished speaking, Orihara Rin waved his hand with an unconvincing smile and said, "I'm not such a boring person, let's talk about it in my office."

He has an office in Yokohama?

Speaking of which, what did this person do with Osamu Dazai at the seaside restaurant?I didn't pay attention to it before, after all, their affairs have nothing to do with me, but now that this person has a studio in Yokohama, I have to ask, lest Orihara Rin will also ruin my plan.

"That's when he discovered that "Oda Sakunosuke is not dead" and wanted to investigate with me. Orihara Lin also said relaxedly.

After defecting, Osamu Dazai is now a detective, but Orihara Rin is also more experienced and has more channels in terms of the authority to investigate intelligence.That's why Osamu Dazai approached Orihara Rinya.Just as the conclusion of the Milgram experiment in the 60s, "People attach enough importance to authority."It can be seen that Osamu Dazai is very concerned about the matter of "Oda Sakunosuke".

"What about the conclusion?"

I don't ask why, just the results they got.

"Undecided, it depends on what Dazai discovers." Orihara Rin also chuckled lightly, and said, "It also depends on whether you know about "the death of Sakunosuke Oda". "

I knew there was something in his words, but I didn't pick up on it.

15 minute later.

According to the address provided by Orihara Rinya, I pushed Orihara Rinya to a red brick building.On the first floor of the ground floor is a cafe called "Vortex", which houses a law office and an armed detective agency.I paused on the nameplate of the "Armed Detective Agency" before I noticed a sign saying "Yokohama Orihara Emotional Consultation Office" hanging on it.

"..."

The name makes people want to go in at all.

"I reserved the entire fifth floor."

"It seems that your business is doing well."

"It's more than enough to pay the rent thanks to your monthly bank transfer of 300 million yuan."

"Oh."

When I lost my memory, I still had such an office.

There is only one elevator up and down the building.The elevator is narrow, and a wheelchair and a person standing in it already seem crowded.Orihara Rin also glanced at me before pressing "5".

"Would you like to visit the Armed Detective Agency on the fourth floor, maybe you can ask Dazai how things are going in person? I always think you will be very curious about the result."

While staring at his friendly smile, I directly pressed "5" for him.

Orihara Rin also shrugged slightly bored.

His office was repaired in a modern and simple style. He obviously only worked alone, but he insisted on setting up four desks.On each table is the latest high-end computer, but there is no chair, which means that they are all used by Orihara.

"May I tell you the bad news you just said?" After looking around with my eyes, I said to Orihara Lin.

Orihara skillfully operated the wheelchair to move in the studio, took out a blue document from the bookshelf and threw it to me: "Yokohama government officials colluded with the North American supernatural organization "Group" and accepted bribes from the other party. The policewoman found out.That is to say, if this incident gets out, the fact that the personnel of the North American supernatural organization you arranged for has been lurking in Yokohama for a long time is likely to be exposed. "

After I opened the file, I could see a photo of a beautiful woman with long hair. It contained the life story of the policewoman, and I knew exactly what her blood type was like.

"But the good news is that she has a cute boyfriend who became a policeman because of his relationship with a high-ranking official. You can use this to get him to steal the evidence." Orihara Lin also paused, and made a stroke on the neck He said, "The worst result is probably—"

Needless to say, I know that he is referring to the matter of "killing people to silence them".

"There doesn't seem to be a solution."

His bad news was just offset by good news.

In other words, Orihara Rin also said that he had bad news, just to scare me off.

Orihara Rin also seemed to see me glance at her, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, what are you doing in Yokohama?"

Orihara didn't answer my words at the train station, but he also knew that I would not rush from Mihua to Yokohama for bad news.

"The organization has a new task." I said lightly, "Since the Prime Minister has been pushed to power, it is time to get some money to supplement the organization's cash flow. After all, it has been waiting for two years."

"Using the entire country directly as a backup treasury is really powerful." Orihara Rinya's tone was quite yin and yang, but he seemed to care more about the content of the mission, so he asked, "How much?"

"Get 300 billion yen first. I heard that this year, a researcher named Shirley defected from the scientific research team. He also encountered a lot of troublesome people and lost some of his backbone and resources."

Orihara obviously didn't listen to the next few words, just hearing "300 billion", he laughed out loud: "How do you want to do it?"

"Or are you planning to withdraw from the Black Organization? Anyway, you have already used up the political assistance status provided by the organization. Recently, it has been reported that the Internal Revenue Service will investigate the taxation of the leaders of the major gangs. As far as I know, people led by Mori Ogai I’ve been trying to find out who’s doing all these things. It’s better to leave the organization while it’s still early. If the port mafia finds out about you, it’s not good for you.”

Leaving an organization is not easy.

Then again, I have no plans to leave the organization.

"It's not time to leave the Black Organization."

Orihara Lin also saw my answer like this, looked at me several times, and laughed inexplicably, with a hint of gloating: "I'm really curious about one thing, why did you go to the Black Organization? If you want to engage in In the case of the port mafia, wouldn’t it be more convenient to be an important government official in the special agent department? Or is it because it’s difficult to go because you need to rely on connections to get to the top?”

"Then I have to give 300 billion." Orihara leaned on his arm, and seemed to be reluctant to let go of the topic of "Oda Sakunosuke" before being dismissed lightly, and continued, "Oda Sakunosuke is active in Yokohama Is it your handwriting? Who is it aimed at?"

This man is always full of energy in caring about the little things of others.

I looked through the information of the policewoman again, and interrupted his thoughts: "I have an idea."

"Ayanokouji, are you listening to me?"

I looked up at the ceiling for a while and said, "By the way, has Detective Edogawa from the Armed Detective Agency downstairs returned from his business trip?"

"How do you know he's on a business trip?"

Because the newspaper has news about him solving crimes in Hokkaido.

But I saw that Orihara Rin was also smiling, so I didn't want to respond to his words.

Orihara Rin also took the opportunity to say: "I don't even know who you care about more. It's Nakahara Chuya, the port mafia cadre, and the detective Dazai Osamu, and Edogawa Ranpo. How about it, you can tell me clearly." Instructions, let me help you pay more attention. I only have a pair of eyes, and I really don’t know how to use them?”

Personally, I feel that Orihara Rin has too much control.

"You should have heard the story of Pandora's Box and Daedalus's labyrinth, right? Let me summarize it for you a little bit." I paused, and said, "One is about too much curiosity that caused one's own misfortune; The other is the story of having to die because you had to keep too many secrets, do you have any thoughts on that?"

"You really can't stand jokes hahaha."

"Be quiet and go somewhere with me."

"..."
