Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(36) I'm afraid I took the wrong first step

10 minute later.

Osamu Dazai, who pretended to be resting, had already sat back on the edge of the sofa chair, with a sickly look on his face.Because of his slender physique and the bandages wrapped around his arms, he managed to convince Enomoto Azusa that he accidentally hit his head just now, and his memory was a bit confused.But I haven't breathed a sigh of relief yet.

"Then, guest, you don't look very well, do you want to contact your family?"

Osamu Dazai put on a uncomfortable expression, and said weakly and softly: "My mobile phone fell into the bathroom, I don't know if it's good or bad now?"

Azusa Enomoto patted her chest to assure her, and said: "It won't run away. Please rest assured, our store is a cafe of conscience, and you can pick it up at any time. Of course, if you don't want to touch it anymore, you can also choose to rush it into the sewer. But If there is a blockage in the sewer, we will ask a plumber to deal with it, and of course the cost will be sent to your address or work unit."

I haven't seen him for a long time, but he is still quite a troublesome existence.

I picked up the phone, followed Azusa Enomoto's words, and said blankly: "Well, this guest. You can tell me anyone's contact information. I'll help you get in touch and pick you up."

As soon as this sentence fell, Dazai Osamu's kite-colored pupils shone with fragile light, and he looked at Enomoto Azusa as if asking for help and said, "The male waiter in your store is too cold and indifferent to me. From the beginning he When he sees me, I think he is aggressive towards me. Now when I see him, I get a headache. Can you let him go away?"

Azusa Enomoto stood in front of me as if protecting a calf, and explained: "Please don't get me wrong, Ayanokōji is just a bit more serious, and he definitely has no intention of attacking you."

"But he said just now that he would send me to the police station." Osamu Dazai held his forehead and said with a painful face, "I know that I have caused you a lot of trouble. Because I always think you are good people, That's why I thought that I can ask you for help when I encounter difficulties. I'm sorry, I troubled you too much."

I:"……"

If this person takes Pingci as his business, he might also be able to make a fortune.

"Actually, I suffer from severe depression, and I can't stand any stimulation. I came to this cafe today and met Ms. Enomoto's smile. I felt healed, and I didn't want to leave." Osamu Dazai covered his face with his hands, The decadent and frustrated voice continued to overflow from the gap between the fingers, "I didn't expect that I would still cause you trouble. I am so sorry for Miss Enomoto."

He said these words as if they were true.

I have heard a saying "good people don't last long, but evil people 99", Dazai Osamu estimated that he can live a long life.

"Does the client have the habit of drinking alcohol?" I asked, "I heard that many people drink alcohol to relieve the negative emotions caused by depression." Have some wine.Because drinking will lower the psychological defense line, it is easier to fall into negative emotions, and it is easy to have accidents.

Osamu Dazai looked at me suspiciously, not knowing why I suddenly asked these questions.With the help of Azusa Enomoto, Osamu Dazai nodded and said in a weak hoarse voice: "I do drink often."

This is what I want.

I said seriously: "I don't know if you have heard of the phenomenon of "spontaneous human combustion"?For example, Dickens mentioned spontaneous combustion in "Bleak House". Later, some scientists said that people who have been drinking for a long time may also cause spontaneous combustion.Because they found that alcoholics also suffer from ketosis, which produces ketones that are flammable.This has become the cause of "spontaneous human combustion". "

"Guest, maybe one day you will suddenly spontaneously combust while walking on the road. At that time, please don't be surprised, and don't worry, it must be the "Lord" calling you to let you get rid of the shackles of the body and liberate your soul.So, you don't have to think about not living now. "

I stared into Osamu Dazai's eyes, paused, and said word by word: "Maybe, you will die in a second?"

The corners of Dazai Osamu's lips moved, and then he smiled softly and said, "Your words really comforted me."

I was about to respond, but at this moment, a bright and crisp sound came from the cafe again.

"Ayanokouji, Brother Ayanokōji, I never thought you would make such a mistake in scientific knowledge. Generally speaking, it is impossible for the human body to burn by itself."

Seeing others focus on him, Conan explained, "It's actually a 'wick effect' phenomenon.

Generally speaking, when lighting a candle, we know to ignite the wick to achieve long-term, stable light.And this happens in human body as well.The human body at this time is actually equivalent to the body of the candle, and the fuel provided is fat from the human body.As for how to make the human body burn, "you only need to ignite the person's clothes" to have a chance to form a candle wick effect. "

Conan looked at us plausibly and said: "So, it is impossible for the human body to spontaneously burn from the inside out. And the reason why the human body burns is either an accident or a murder."

"How did Conan know this?" Azusa Enomoto said in surprise.

In her mind, mastering astronomy, geography, and any miscellaneous knowledge is at her fingertips. Conan, a primary school student who is so precious, is really going to become a god.

"TV, TV."

Osamu Dazai opened the smile on his lips, and said with a faint gaze: "Maybe it's not that Ayanokōji-kun doesn't know, but he just wants to find time to attack me, put me to death, and then pretend to be a mysterious death phenomenon."

"..."

This Osamu Dazai pretended to be confused while pretending to understand, and he insisted on pouring dirty water on me.I will not do it myself for a Dazai Osamu.However, I found that Osamu Dazai really tended to make me irritable.I need to be careful about this.

I was too subconscious to think that Osamu Dazai was going to target me.

But if he had linked "Oda Sakunosuke" to me, his difficulties would have been relatively minor.

Enomoto Azusa sighed: "Guest, you are really pessimistic, cheer up! Don't always think that you will die. Would you like some hot cocoa? I heard that chocolate makes people happy."

Azusa Enomoto changed the subject inadvertently.

I also made Dazai Osamu a cup of hot cocoa in accordance with Enomoto Azusa's words, and decided to stop this meaningless rivalry with Dazai Osamu.

"What's going on now?"

Conan obviously entered the cafe because he was curious about why some of us shop assistants stood around a frail customer.

As I left Osamu Dazai's desk, I asked Conan to follow me, and said, "After his phone fell into the bathroom, he fell on his head. Now he says he has depression and doesn't want to live anymore."

Conan glanced at Osamu Dazai and asked, "What about the phone?"

"Still in the toilet."

Conan's pupils flickered for a moment, as if he was imagining the scene: "... By the way, will flushing the toilet block it?"

I guess Osamu Dazai is waiting for me to pick it up for him.

At this time, a customer stood up from his seat and wanted to use the bathroom. I quickly added: "Guest, sorry, our bathroom is temporarily unavailable."

This guest is new and doesn't know the situation well.He didn't care too much, and went back to his original position.

I thought about it, maybe I should seal the bathroom first.So I started looking for the "cleaning" stand, but Conan stopped me.

After I came back from the long vacation, I rested at Dr. Ali's house for two days, so I never met Conan.When Conan saw me this time, he was anxious to get the follow-up of the story from my mouth.

"Brother Ayanokōji, can you tell me more about Mr. Ranpo's Yokohama female police dumping case? Is there anything else to say?" Conan is now eager to fly to Yokohama to understand the content of the case.The newspapers were unclear, vague, and lacked key information. Now it is all about guessing details.

When Conan waited for us to come back from the hot springs, he wanted Edogawa Ranpo to reveal the case information. As a result, the Armed Detective Agency followed the "Yokohama Policewoman Throwing Corpse Case" and then "Yokohama Missing Persons Case". In case of accident, the newspaper published a photo of "Armed Detective Agency member Kunikida Doppo watched the missing person being blown to death by villains".Now the Armed Detective Agency is on the cusp.

Therefore, Edogawa Ranpo went back, and Conan lost the opportunity to ask.

Speaking of Edogawa Ranpo, when he crawled over from the windowsill of the cave hotel that day, he should have seen me change my clothes-he should have seen the gunshot wound on my chest.I used concealer to cover the gunshot wound before amnesia because I was afraid of attracting attention.But now that I know the source of the injury, I don't think it's necessary to cover it up too much.

However, there is something about Edogawa that caught my attention.It's just that I don't understand his attitude.

I don't know if Edogawa is so warm to everyone else.

Before leaving, Edogawa Ranpo asked for my contact information, and would call me whenever he was free. Sometimes he didn't want to talk, he just connected the phone and didn't allow me to hang up.

Is this a means of surveillance?

It seems that in the past few years, even Edogawa will change.

Seeing that Conan was still waiting for me to give an answer, I said, "Follow-up—remember the reason why Patrolman Sugimoto said he would have a dispute with Nami Yamaji?"

"Patrolman Sugimoto became a policeman because he got the back door of a high-ranking official. Because Nami Yamaji was grasping the evidence of embezzlement by a high-ranking official, Patrolman Sugimoto wanted to return the USB drive and had a conflict with the deceased."

Conan has watched this case many times.

He also has his own analysis of this case, but he said it was the result of discussions with Heiji Hattori who came before——

This can confirm the statement of the criminal police is the USB disk.

If there is no way to determine the case, there is something wrong with the USB disk, most likely lost.Is this loss permanently damaged, or is it taken away by someone.If the latter, then who took it?

"The actions of the port mafia have been rampant recently. Obviously at this time, the government is stricter in controlling violent groups, but the port mafia is doing the opposite." Conan looked up at Ayanokōji and said, "I, no, yes Brother Heiji thinks that the leader of the port mafia has got the USB, which contains evidence of high-ranking corruption. Rather than saying that the port mafia is confident, we prefer that the leader is testing the bottom line of the government."

"Who do you think that senior official might be?"

"I don't think it's about a high-ranking official, it's about a group of people who affect the entire core of Yokohama, including the top executives of the Supernatural Secret Service.

Why do you say that?

Because this time, didn't Yokohama also have an explosion that shocked the whole country?The instigator of the incident was Kejiro Kajii, a supernatural being from the port mafia. The armed detective agency should be able to deal with them. However, in such an urgent situation, the Supernatural Secret Service Division still did not issue them a "permit to operate supernatural powers." "

"Sounds serious." I wasn't surprised to be able to reason this far.This is like 1+1 equals 2.

"But the most frightening thing is that Hattori Heiji and I feel that everything has been arranged since the Yokohama policewoman dumped her body, or the rumor that Mr. Ranpo made a mistake in the case. But who is this person? Who, it's hard to say."

I thought about it and said, "If you can't figure it out, don't you know who is the biggest beneficiary?"

"The biggest beneficiary in the whole incident is naturally Mori Ogai, the leader of the port mafia.

First, in the corpse throwing case, in fact, he was also subject to tax inspection by Nami Yamaji. For a leader, if he was imprisoned for a year for this reason, the Yokohama gangster forces would have been in chaos for a while, and the surrounding forces Just around the corner, Mori Ogai can't be put in jail.

If he got the USB drive, he could find Nami Yamaji to recover his evidence.

Second, if he has evidence of high-level corruption in the Yokohama government, then he is likely to use this to control the government, at least from which he can get a "permit to operate with supernatural powers." "

Conan frowned and said, "But it all points to the port mafia leader being too obvious and deliberate. In addition, the investigation direction of the Armed Detective Agency is elsewhere."

"other places?"

"We believe that the Armed Detective Agency may have grasped the direction of this case from the very beginning, so it took Mr. Ranpo as the axis to control the overall situation. Think carefully, this matter involves a lot, and may affect the entire power structure of Yokohama City Therefore, Mr. Ranpo will definitely come and be dispatched to take the initiative to find clues."

From my perspective, at this moment, I can't see Conan's usual clear and bright pupils.The glasses he was wearing were now glowing with a snow-white light.

Conan continued: "Mr. Ranpo clearly knew who the murderer of the corpse throwing case was, but he refused to disclose it. This just shows that he was cooperating with the behind-the-scenes gangsters and didn't want to startle the enemy, so he deliberately didn't say that he knew the murderer. In fact, he came to Mihua Town for real. The reason is to get close to the mastermind behind the scenes. This is what he said when he came here to "investigate the case". "

"........."

"This man behind the scenes may be related to an international terrorist organization "Black Organization".My brother Heiji has collected relevant information and guessed that person's action code. "

What Conan said in this part is rather vague, but that's not the point.

Conan was about to say the name of that code name.

There was a flash of white light in my head for a moment-in this layout, I still missed something.But the idea hasn't crossed my mind yet.At this time, the bell of the store door rang "hula la la".I saw Mr. Maori rushing from the door to the bathroom in a hurry. He didn't have time to put us on us, and shouted: "Sorry, I can't help it! I want to get a tuba! I can't help it!! Lend me the toilet first!!!”

This kind of attitude that whoever dares to stop Mr. Maori, he will fight desperately has stunned all of us.

I watched Mr. Maori rush into the toilet, and the next second I suddenly remembered something.Of course, I wasn't the only one who thought of one thing.I think all are thinking the same thing.

Then, the audience was silent.

After we all looked in the direction of the toilet in unison, the three of us looked in the direction of Osamu Dazai tacitly.

"..." X4.

Because Mr. Mori's episode almost interrupted all our words, but Conan still didn't forget what he wanted to say.He said very solemnly——

"Brother Ayanokōji, be careful Toru Amuro. He is a bad guy."

"……Um."

After Conan finally left the cafe with Mr. Mori, I kept watching the direction of his departure, and a sentence echoed in my heart——

"Conan is lying, he suspects me."

I suddenly understood why Edogawa Ranpo was so obedient.The first time he approached me, whether it was intentional or unintentional, he knew that he had already dragged me into the quagmire of the case.

The first step in my strategy is to "lead Edogawa Ranbu away from Yokohama", in order to make it easier for "Oda Sakunosuke".I'm afraid it's being used by someone (Osamu Dazai) now.Osamu Dazai may have joined forces with Mori Ogai.

If that's the case, I'm afraid I've made the wrong move.

It's too early to take it easy.

"Are you thinking that the boy is lying?" Osamu Dazai leaned against the door and said, "Is it because I hit the mark?"

I glanced at him, covered my nose and mouth, and said, "No, it's because the smell of the toilet on your body made me suffocate. I've already tried to keep my mouth shut. I'm sorry, this guest."

Since it was close to closing time, I shut Osamu Dazai outside the cafe by the way.

Dazai Osamu: "..."
