Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(37) Temptation ([-])

Amuro Toru has been asking for leave since returning from the long vacation and sending Edogawa Ranpo back to the Armed Detective Agency, and it has been three days now.The store manager was sympathetic to his physical weakness, and never thought of letting such a person who asked for leave every three days to resign quickly.

After Enomoto Azusa locked the store door, she turned around and handed me the store key: "Then I will ask you to open the door tomorrow."

"Okay." I took the key and put it in my pocket.

Azusa Enomoto asked: "Do you think Mr. Amuro is still coming back to work? Before the long vacation, he said he would stabilize, but now he is on leave again. Should we find time to see him? Maybe when he is sick, he will still take care of himself. It's very pitiful." .”

Azusa Enomoto is really a good person, and she doesn't think of people as bad.

I didn't express any opinions, because Azusa Enomoto was just rambling and didn't have any specific ideas yet.Once she has a real decision, I will cooperate with her to act.After all, I am not a person who is good at taking the initiative.

After separating from Azusa Enomoto, Osamu Dazai, who was sitting at the foot of the stairs, stood up.He stood up straight, stretched out his hand to me, and said, "Sorry for introducing myself so late. I am Osamu Dazai from the Armed Detective Agency. This is the first time we meet." Osamu Dazai also showed his business card.

This kind of thing is actually very easy to do, even easier to do than a driver's license or a police officer's license.It is easy to pretend to be a certain identity, but there is no need to spend more time on it and continue to test it. Instead, I was thinking: Wouldn’t it be more beneficial for him to confess his identity in the cafe at the beginning?It's not like there are so many things going on in the middle.

Or is he testing whether I know him or not?

"Is Mr. Edogawa all right?" I only held his knuckles, and before he could grab it, I let go. "Recently, have you dealt with the affairs of the detective agency?"

Osamu Dazai didn't mind too much, and imitated my polite way and said: "Thanks to you, the Yokohama Sohata terrorist incident has come to an end, and the Armed Detective Agency has now retired."

I subconsciously noticed the overlapping black shadows on the ground due to the dusk and lights, and said, "So, is there anything I can help you with?"

I get all the information about Yokohama from Orihara Rinya.I have a shared mailbox with him.If there is any news, he will send it to me in draft mode.When I log into my email address, I can see it.We will try our best to avoid communicating by email, which is easy to leave traces on the Internet.

After returning from the long vacation, as I imagined, Toru Amuro already knew that the person walking in Yokohama was his old friend Keimitsu Morofuku.

Although it was reported in the news that Zhu Fu Jingguang was seriously injured and was staying in the hospital, Toru Amuro's expression did not change much when he entered and exited the hospital, which indicated that the news might be fake.But if Toru Amuro really killed his friend in order to track down a Kashasha, I have nothing to say about it.At any rate, I have already given a reminder - I asked Momofuku Keimitsu to use the identity of "Oda Sakunosuke" all the time, no one may notice, but Dazai Osamu should not make such a mistake.

The case of missing persons in Yokohama is actually one of the terrorist plans of the Cangqi criminal remnants.I heard that Dazai Osamu, Kunikida Doppo, and Nakajima Atsushi have jointly found the criminals, which shows that the "criminal plan" has lost its value.It's just not sure if they have confessed. If they find out that there are some newly added criminal plans, they will be found to be falsified.

But who would believe a murderer?

It's useless to believe it, after all, the role of the crime plan had already been fully utilized when Edogawa Ranpo came to me.

The point is that the "Yokohama dumping case" has not been closed yet, and no one has found the lost USB drive.If they can really predict my thoughts, they have to close the case in the first place.But unfortunately, at the beginning of the case, I had already had the USB hidden.

As long as that person doesn't meet Ranpo Edogawa, there will be no problem with my plan.I lured Edogawa Ranpo out of Yokohama, not because I needed someone to help me prove my alibi, but just to prevent Edogawa Ranpo from discovering that Oguri Fusutaro, who has the ability of "perfect crime", is active in Yokohama.It was also because of this person that I was able to successfully enter the black organization.

I know that Edogawa's ability is not a supernatural power, so Oguri Chongtaro's supernatural power can't let him see the truth at a glance, let alone someone who is less capable than him.The only problem is Osamu Dazai, who has nullified his abilities.

Another troublesome thing is that Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was trapped in the hospital from the first day, has not yet come out of the hospital.It is estimated that someone tricked Amuro Toru, so that Amuro Toru and Nakajima Atsushi stayed with Zhu Fujingguang all the time.On the surface, it was to accompany him to do things unconditionally, but in fact, he just took this opportunity to monitor him.

But soon, Mori Ogai should go to meet him alone.

After all, even if Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't do what I arranged, he still came to discuss things with Hong Kong black on behalf of the North American supernatural organization.

……

Everything left me alone.

After I re-confirmed that the current steps should not be too super-gang, I said to Osamu Dazai: "Shall we stand here and talk?"

Osamu Dazai raised his head and looked around, when I thought he would set a quiet place, he raised his hand and said, "Let's talk as we walk."

Osamu Dazai took the lead, and I hesitated for a while, half a step behind him.

This was originally just a small detail, but Osamu Dazai paused and walked side by side with me.

"Are you used to walking behind others?" Osamu Dazai said with his hands in his pockets.

"I'm not used to your smell."

This sentence made Dazai choke.He forced a smile and said, "It's almost enough, it doesn't seem like it took so long." What's more, Mr. Mori took a lot of responsibility for the toilet, and Osamu Dazai didn't put in a lot of labor.

I mean the smell of blood on him.

It may be left over from previous visual impressions. I always feel that there is a smell of blood on his body, which makes people uncomfortable.But if you smell it carefully, in fact, he doesn't have that unpleasant smell on him, or in other words, other clean aromas that people can't tell.

However, I have no way to explain it, so there is no response.

"Then let's start with the matter of Mr. Ranpo coming to you."

Osamu Dazai started to get down to business.

"He forgot to ask you about the case. So you probably don't know that Mr. Ranpo is actually looking for you?"

Before I could wait for him to continue, I knew it was time for me to speak.

"At that time, the purpose of coming here was "foraging, escaping, and investigating." I was not very clear about the investigation, but he said that the Yokohama media was not friendly to him, so Mr. Edogawa ran out.So, what is his purpose in looking for me? "

"It seems that Mr. Ranpo really hasn't talked to you much." Osamu Dazai curled up his mouth with a smile, and there was not much warmth in his eyes: "Let's start with the first case that you were paid attention to by the detective agency - Yokohama Let’s start talking about the Chinese restaurant, I wonder if you still have any impression of going to the Conan Doyle building in Yokohama this year? It was raining that evening, and you dined with the people from the Maori Detective Agency with a coupon.”

"I remember."

Looking back now, the members of the Armed Detective Agency were also having dinner that day, but I didn't know them, so I only noticed the head of the president, and didn't pay attention to whether Dazai Osamu and Edogawa were walking in disorder.

Osamu Dazai said: "Although I am not good at recording with electronic technology, my memory is not bad."

I thought it must be irony.

But Osamu Dazai did not change his face, and continued methodically: "I heard the conversation between you and the director with our president. Because the president said that you were preventing the other party from making mistakes and wanted to meet you, but I did not I didn't think so, so I chatted with the director. So, we had a chat about timing."

Osamu Dazai seemed to be telling a story at this moment, not in the tone of an interrogation.It's just that when he talked about the key points, his pupils would flash with a sharp brilliance like a sharp edge.

"You said he might be committing the crime because you 'saw him go into the bathroom with a hand towel,' and then, as if you already knew what he was going to do, show up in the same place and point out the flaws. "

Osamu Dazai said while observing me: "I was thinking at the time, what kind of deduction is needed to achieve this kind of prediction. The timing is too good? Maybe he is holding a hand towel because his pants are also splashed somewhere It was not easy to deal with the soup at the dining table, so I went to the bathroom. There are so many people at the dining table, why are you the farthest away, but you are the only one who notices him? Next, what you say follows what he will do Match one by one."

"..."

"I don't know if you have read Sherlock Holmes. There is a character named Moriarty in it. He is the godfather of crime who specially designs criminal plans for criminals, and provides criminal methods, criminal channels and criminal props?"

"Ah."

Osamu Dazai said, "How do you think I think about this?"

He asked a question, and I followed up to answer: "If someone can predict the future, then either he has the ability to predict, or he knows what the director wants to do in advance, so he can immediately step on the opportunity and seize the current situation."

"Very well. So which one are you?"

"I should be the third type, the same type as you - "accidental". "I said.

Osamu Dazai was taken aback, and looked at me slightly sideways.

I began to explain: "From what you said just now, and combined with my situation at the time, I went to the bathroom for a long time. If you or your president stood outside the door of the bathroom, how did you know that we would talk about things that we couldn't talk to?" The inhuman thing didn’t come up until the end of the conversation? Besides, the soundproof effect of the bathroom isn’t that bad, right? Since when did you start listening to it?”

"Are you trying to say that we probably avoided meeting you and the director in anticipation of discussing some serious matters?" Osamu Dazai frowned first when he laughed, then continued to tilt his head and said, "You It's sophistry. It's just a coincidence."

well.

I said, "Then why don't you want to put 'chance' on me? "

"It's not that I don't want to." Osamu Dazai took a sip of eggnog and said, "I was very willing at first. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ignored this matter for more than half a year, until we were investigating the Yokohama body throwing case, I picked up Cangqi's crime plan. The director's crime method matches it."

"Then, not only this incident was registered, but you also appeared in the crime book and several attempted cases. After that, there was the case where Akechi Goro participated in the investigation. Of course, when Akechi Goro was exposed after the fact, It is also said that he directed and acted it himself, just to make himself a famous detective."

"You mean, in order to be famous, I also directed and acted myself? But there shouldn't be that kind of person who would interrupt the progress of a crime?"

"But maybe this is your way of approaching Akechi Goro? No, Akechi Goro approached you first? I heard that Director Isogami recommended you to him."

I asked, "Why do I want to approach Akechi Goro?"

"Because Goro Akechi is the illegitimate son of Shidou Masayoshi, you can get close to Shidou Masayoshi if you get close to him. There is an international terrorist organization, the Black Organization, who wants to take advantage of the change of prime minister and take the opportunity to intervene in Japanese politics."

"According to what you mean, I was ordered by them to approach Akechi Goro, then approach a prime minister candidate, and then launch a new candidate. Candidates must be big names, strong hands, they will be like Are marionettes at the mercy of an ordinary high school student?"
