Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(38) Interrogation ([-])

"But if this high school student can not only remotely, but also have the ability to affect other people's minds for a long time, it's another matter. Right? Maybe, you give me your hand now. I'm going to start investigating the case."

Osamu Dazai opened his hand to me.

Seeing that I didn't respond, he shook his hand in front of me.

"Please, Ayanokouji-kun."

I said, "I don't have supernatural powers, so there's no need to do this."

"It's hard to convince a person just by talking. If I have to, I usually don't hold hands with men. Please understand my grievances."

"...No, your method can at most pass the pulse test to see if I am lying now. If you think I can control people's minds for a long time, or remotely control people's minds, you must give a period of observation time to verify the truth Is it fake?"

"So, when you thought we were just holding hands, I prepared handcuffs that only I could open. I was thinking of giving you a surprise, but now you have proposed it. I'm afraid that your refusal is just holding hands. We Let's get along with each other!" Osamu Dazai drew a smile on the corner of his mouth, and took out a pair of silver handcuffs from his pocket, "By the way, my ability is nullified. Don't try to act rashly."

"..."

so boring.

The scene was cold for a while.

Osamu Dazai and I looked at each other for ten seconds.

"I was joking just now, did you believe me?"

Dazai Osamu saw that I didn't answer, and suddenly laughed: "I'm really joking, how could you treat our precious witness with the attitude of treating a prisoner? Don't be so serious... But, I found that you have no interest in me at all." .”

What is a valuable witness?

I think Osamu Dazai is too fickle, and I don't know whether he is playing me more or testing me more?

"..."

Just as he said jokingly, he put the handcuffs back in his pocket, adjusted his clothes by the way, and said: "I heard from Mr. Amuro that you have a good impression of the same sex, you will take the initiative to get close, and you are easy to show your heart." Lungs. But I tried it several times deliberately, and tried it out in different ways, but none of them seemed to hit your point. By the way, what do you not like about me?"

"I don't like anything."

In order to affirm my statement, I nodded directly to enhance the convincing force in my words.

Afraid that he would not understand, I continued: "You are very annoying."

Osamu Dazai was very calm and even proud of it: "Many people say that."

I don't know what he's thinking now, but it's more difficult to guess than when I was in the port mafia.

In the past, it was clear that he just hated me and wanted to get rid of me soon, but now he is much more complicated.In fact, I have thought that Mofuku Keimitsu's walking in Yokohama under the name of Oda Sakunosuke might cause Dazai Osamu's displeasure.If it was Osamu Dazai in the past, I'm afraid he would follow the vine to find out the instigator and make that person regret his mistakes.But now the weather is calm, is it the eve of the storm, or does he actually not care about Oda Sakunosuke as much as I imagined.

"I don't have any information with me. But let me put it simply. When we investigated the corpse throwing case, we found that the deceased had a criminal plan when investigating the Cangqi terrorist incident. Many of them were related to Akechi Goro, and some of them involved It's your turn." Osamu Dazai said, "We believe that Goro Akechi paid attention to you because you may have disrupted his opportunities several times."

impossible.

The person I interfered with had a direct conflict of interest with Akechi Goro, and at most it was Director Isozami.Akechi Goro likes TV shows, and the criminal investigation film directed by Isogami needs a detective consultant. Maybe Akechi Goro also wants this job, and the two have contacts.

I was like when I was in class, no matter what the teacher said was right or not, I just nodded.

It's easier to nod in agreement than to refute.

"I heard that the Cangqi terrorist incident has come to an end, and Goro Akechi also ended the matter of justice because of Shido..." I paused, and said, "Re-investigate now, not only can we get one fact—— "It is wise to commit a crime according to a criminal plan"? "

"In your opinion, Akechi Goro is a person who has no brains and can only rely on others to defraud Shidou of justice?"

"..."

In fact, even if he really relies on others and has an empty mind, someone who can be so close to the highest level of Japanese politics is a kind of character.

"I have another thing here that I want to show you, and it may just happen to be related to Akechi Goro." Osamu Dazai took out the handcuffs just now, and after seeing my choked expression, he smiled and said, "It's this——"

He shook his phone and opened a photo.

That was the identification of "AKETAMAOKO".

"Do you have any impression of this?"

"During the trip to the cave, I heard that a person named "Akira Karasawa" said that he came to find a girl with that name.But I'm not sure if it's this guy. "

"Mr. Amuro didn't show you this ID card?"

"No." I thought for a while and added, "When Mr. Amuro had a dispute with Tang Zeming that day, he had a card in his hand and put it in his pocket. Is it this one?"

"Well, I snatched it from Akira Karasawa." Dazai Osamu affirmed my statement and continued, "Yes, this is the one, and it conveys a message."

"Is the information for this person? Or is there some hidden information on it?"

Now I am staring at this ID card, like I am looking at the question "3+4=", and I have to keep throwing out the wrong answer: "Is it equal to 6, or is it equal to 8", and I am constantly comparing with the correct answer. Passed by.Because I am the author of this "news".

This "Maoko Akita" ID was taken before I went to Yokohama and Orihara Rinya to meet Fu Jingguang at the Lupin Bar that day.

"No, this is a message from one person to another, a very complete sentence."

"Is it a word made out of homonyms of numbers? But what does this have to do with Goro Akechi?"

"It's not a homophonic word."

Osamu Dazai stood up, walked to my desk, took out a pen and a piece of paper, pressed the paper and began to write the Roman pinyin "AKETAMAOKO" of "Maoko Akada".

"This message is actually very implicit. This name can spell two names, one sentence."

Osamu Dazai's handwriting is slightly thinner.

He wrote down two verses in Roman accents on the paper.

"TOAKE,

MO.

AKA"

"TOAKA,

MO.

AKE」

"AKA is "red"; AKE is "bright"; TO is "give"; MO is usually a particle meaning "and", but here it cannot be a particle. "

I looked up at Osamu Dazai: "Just now you said that there are two names hidden in this Akada Mooko. If there is one thing, the two names have come out." I pointed to "AKA" and "AKE", and then pointed to the last one. "MO" in the middle.

I said, "That should be a noun."

"Very well, if "MO" is written in Chinese characters, it would be this—"宵", funeral event, funeral ceremony. "Dazai Osamu's voice fell from the top of my head, and continued, "A very interesting thing happened here. If "Chi" and "Ming" were the people I imagined with Amuro Toru, these two people just happened to be died. "

Osamu Dazai wrote "Akai" on top of "AKA (I)" and "wise" on top of "AKE (CHI)".

"Here, I would like to introduce to you, Akai Shuichi is an undercover agent of the Black Organization. He was cleared by the organization a few days ago. And Akechi Goro just happens to have a very close relationship with the member of the Black Organization that we speculate, "Kashasha" connect.We believe that the Yokohama body throwing case is related to Kashasha's design. The reason why there is a criminal plan is to use this to lure Mr. Ranpo out of Yokohama.And there happened to be Akechi Goro on the plan. "

Dazai Osamu drew a circle for the two of them while talking.

"The two people should have been connected from the beginning. Three years ago, Akai Shuichi and Kashasha planned the death of a person. It is said that this Kashasha rarely showed up, but these two people once appeared on the same roof."

Osamu Dazai tapped the paper: "Can you understand? This has to be reversed."

"First of all, our detective agency is here to investigate the person "Karshasha", because we know from some sources that Kashasha will be active in Yokohama City, and we should be wary of Mr. Ranpo.So Mr. Ranpo will be lured away by Kashasha.

At this time, the Yokohama body throwing case appeared. Mr. Ranpo was said to have made a mistake in judgment. During the retrial, a flaw was discovered, that is, a key evidence was lost, and Mr. Ranpo had to avoid the news media and follow the Cangqi Project Book to investigate Goro Akechi who appears frequently.Of course, Akechi Goro is gone now, and has been declared dead in the public eye, so Mr. Ranpo is actually here to investigate you.

But Mr. Ranpo forgot to ask you something (X). "

Osamu Dazai drew an X.Then he ticked himself off and referred to him to ask the question.

"When he and Mr. Amuro went on a trip, he accidentally bumped into "Akira Karasawa" who sent the message, picked up this ID card, and got two messages: "For Akai Shuichi, funeral/funeral, stay wisely", or "To Akechi Goro, funeral/funeral, Akai Hideichi stay." "

"How can two people who are already dead leave messages for each other? No matter how you look at it, it is suspicious, and since "burial" is mentioned, Mr. Amuro and I have checked both.Akai Hideichi was originally from the FBI. When he died, his FBI colleagues were in charge. There are doubts about the cause of his death.Mr. Amuro will continue to investigate, but I went to investigate the funeral of Goro Akechi and Shidou Justice, and found an interesting thing. At first it was said that it was cremation, but after investigating the records, it was found that other people’s bodies were buried at that time.

In other words, Akechi Goro and Shido Masayoshi may not be dead. "

"..."

Osamu Dazai lowered his head and asked me, "Aren't you surprised?"

"I'm surprised," I said blankly.

"Forget it, I saw that you have facial paralysis before." Osamu Dazai turned the matter over and said, "Actually, the question I asked you is also very simple. When was the last time you saw Goro Akechi?"

"At the end of this summer, tell him that you don't want to continue the investigation with him."

"That is to say, Akechi Goro lost contact a month before his 'death'. Why not continue the investigation?"

"Because he suspects that Amemiya is a member of Phantom Thieves, I don't want to continue working for him."

"Although you said so, the result of my investigation is that you took pictures of his criminal process?"

"It was stitched together using technology, and Amameiya just provided a figure."

"Then why did you cut off contact with your good friend?"

"This involves a personal matter, and I refuse to answer."

"Then back to Akechi Goro, what do you think about him?"

"According to what you said, he shouldn't be dead. Maybe he is Kashaxia himself."

Osamu Dazai stamped Akechi Goro's name with a pen, and said: "But if it is the person himself, then although the information is hidden deep, if you find it, you will hit the key points directly, and it will be like sending the evidence in front of you."

"..."

"What problem did you think of?"

"There's something strange about the cave hotel." I said, "If it's really to send a message, then there should be a contact person. But I don't think anyone is particularly weird. Unless, in fact, someone came to send the message. "

"How to say?"

The author has something to say:

Ayanokoji: I haven't thought about how to prove that I don't have supernatural powers.
