Correct use of working cell No. U-4869

December 24.

Heavy snowfall.

The commanding heights of Yokohama - the port mafia headquarters building has a rare visitor.

An exquisite afternoon tea is served between Mori Ogai and the guests on the mahogany European-style round table.The glass windows facing us were not covered with thick curtains, and the whole gray sky was facing us. The heavy snow had been falling from ten o'clock in the morning until now. Under the sky was a steel forest covered with snow and frost, like a row of A row of winter soldiers in steel armor guarded Yokohama solemnly.

Taneda Santoka put his hands inside his cuffs, and he believed that Mori Ogai already knew why he was here.But at this moment, both of them seem to be probing each other's bottom line between gossips, as if trying to figure out the other's thoughts, and strive for a bigger bargaining chip for themselves before everything is settled.

Tanda Shantouhuo said: "It is said that the snow will last until January next year."

"This year will end soon." Mori Ogai leaned back in his chair, looking through the snow.

"I heard that your student Osamu Dazai died in the fight with W."

Mori Ogai raised his right index finger slightly in his folded hands, and then slowly put it on the back of his left hand. This movement was very light, and his hands were under the table again. Taneda Santoka didn't notice Mori Ogai's movement.

"This is just the daily life of the mafia. Even if I sit in this office, I can't guarantee when I will die." Mori Ogai did not inoculate the topic thrown by Tian Shantou.If this instigates him to go directly to the W bar, this deal would be too cheap. "I heard that W, led by the foreign supernatural being Dostoevsky, has made a series of actions in Kanagawa Prefecture that the government is also overwhelmed and overwhelmed."

Not to mention that W was causing troubles and disturbing the people on the black side or the righteous way. The most serious thing recently was the bombing of Mount Tanzawa in Kanagawa, and a large avalanche occurred. More than a hundred people were killed, and they were all small groups of families.A large area of ​​the power grid was paralyzed by the avalanche, and snow covered the traffic network like a flood. Rangers, first responders, and police were dispatched in batches, and the snow removal work was not completed.Because of the collapse of the mountain, experienced mountaineers responded, and now the mountain road is chaotic. Even experienced mountaineers may not be able to distinguish the route in this situation.But before that, they have to consider whether they still have a chance of surviving.

The news of Yokohama City is broadcasting this accident every day,

This matter has naturally become a difficult problem for officials to think about.

And everyone clearly knew that it was a man-made accident caused by Tuo Si's layout.

If it is not controlled, Yokohama is likely to become a city of death that is indiscriminately injured by W, especially when that person is doing everything possible to snatch the "book" from Natsume Soseki.

Seeing that Taneda Santou didn't want to reply, Mori Ogai said in a concerned tone, "So, Mr. Taneda, have you been busy recently?"

Tantouhuo knew that he said this on purpose as soon as he heard it, and his emotional fire was almost wiped out. He picked up the half-cold black tea again, wanting to take a sip, but the teacup was only up to his mouth, and he put it down again. Back to the desktop.The whole paragraph is like a cutscene that connects the past and the future, only Mori Ogai still looks at him with a lukewarm smile.

"Let's get to the point."

"Waiting for a long time."

Mori Ogai is fully confident that he is in an advantageous position in this negotiation.The address chosen for negotiations from the farming hilltop fire was visible enough in their harbor mafia headquarters building.People come to seek themselves.The awe-inspiring posture just now was just trying to put mental pressure on myself.

Tan Tian Shantouhuo handed out a black envelope from his arms, and said: "This time, I'm here to ask your organization to do everything possible to destroy the W organization and capture the foreign supernatural being Dostovsky. Mafia sincerity."

Mori Ogai looked at the black envelope stretched out from the table, and the conversation with Dazai Ogai before he left last time floated in his mind.

"By the way, is a business license for the Supernatural Secret Service worth 100 billion?"

"It's worth ten times as much."

"Then you wait for the operating permit."

"But this seems to be Xiaobai's task."

Osamu Dazai looked up at Mori Ogai with his clear pupils, and said, "Then you know what kind of result I want?"

Mori Ogai lowered his head and smiled. After laughing for a long time, he raised his head and asked Osamu Dazai: "With this business license, I naturally don't need Natsume-kun to do anything for me. But, I'm not sure you I don't want to think about it, or I haven't thought about it. I just want to say, Dazai-kun, it would be better if you think about what you want? Do you want to satisfy your tragic heroism, or do you want to get something from Natsume Yujiu? What return. You must understand these two points, otherwise you may be the biggest loser in this transaction."

"I'll be dead then."

Time has stopped at the perfect moment.

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "There is no future."

……

Mori Ogai opened the black envelope, and inside was the result he wanted most.

Gin and bourbon make their way out of a hail of bullets.

They saw from the rearview mirror that Yu Jiu ran to the location of the cliff, trying to retrieve him, but was shot, not necessarily shot, but at least scratched, because the blood spattered in the snow It's too stark.Both Gin and Bourbon watched Yu Jiu fall off the cliff with their own eyes, but neither of them spoke, or even hesitated.

This road goes directly from the Kanagawa National Highway to the nearest city of Yokohama.

In the end, the silence between the two seemed to be a confrontation of "who speaks".In the end, Gin spoke first: "The third party knows about our deal. Bourbon is the place and time you arranged. Can you explain the situation?" After this sentence, Gin's trigger also "clicked" The button rang.

Jiang Gu Ling never thought that Gin was a dull person, but from that accident, Gin was able to analyze the situation so calmly, and quickly locked on the key people.But he was not one to sit still, and said, "Why should I disclose the location and time to a third party? You know, if the person in the middle of the road hadn't been dealt with by Yujiu, we would all be buried in the same Danze mountain now." inside."

Jiang Gu Ling saw that Qin Jiu's eyes flickered after hearing his words, but he seemed to accept Jiang Gu Ling's words, because his gun was slowly lowered, but he still didn't seem to completely let go of his vigilance, but continued to pinch pistol.

Gin lit a cigarette slowly with the cigarette lighter on the car, and said: "In the past two years, we have rarely sat in the car together, so let's just talk about it. I always know that you are targeting me time and time again. People There are inevitably some misunderstandings with people, and I don’t like to explain too much. In addition, your contribution to the organization is also remarkable. You are good at managing contacts, and you are a rare social talent in the organization. So, I respect You always keep your eyes open and closed."

Gin lowered his head and puffed out a smoke ring, and said, "But this time is the last time. My tolerance for you has run out."

"..."

Gin put the gun between the two of them, and said: "If it's a man, let's play a game of Russian roulette. Each of us is at our own risk, and all previous grudges and grievances will be wiped out. You can also choose not to gamble, and you can get off the car now. "

Gin would shoot him straight in the back, over.

Although Gin had no evidence, his intuition told him that this accident was entirely caused by Jiang Guling.

"Being suspicious" is Gin's long-standing rule of conduct.

Jiang Gu Ling's pupils trembled for a moment because of Ginjiu's words, and then he looked up at Ginjiu firmly, and said, "Why don't you just explain about the attack on me in Yokohama? Now you are here to make a bright and open appearance, because you want to explain Have I misunderstood you all this time?"

"I have to explain to you why I do things."

Gin shakes the ashes in the ashtray in the car.

"..."

Furutani Rei regretted being shaken for a moment.

Furutani Rei didn't answer, but Gin had already started making clips.Rei Yugu heard what Yuku said, and said, "After Yuku is rescued, we will talk about this matter." Rei Fuguya has heard about Yuku's ability, and it is probably biased towards the healing department. There is a chance of survival.Seeing Qin Jiu, Jiang Gu Ling was still looking at him, and said, "At least I saw the corpse."

Jiang Gu Ling thought that Gin would refuse, because it was really a waste of time, but he agreed.At the moment of agreeing, Furutani Rei suddenly remembered what Belmode once said "Gin likes Natsume", and when Gin didn't notice, he glanced at him, wanting to confirm Gin's expression.

"How are you going to find it?"

"Yokohama Armed Detective Agency."

Gin didn't say much, he didn't have more information than Jiang Gu Ling in this regard, so he simply said, "Where are we going?"

In the end, what he didn't expect was that both of them rushed to nothing.

There is a sign at the entrance of the detective agency that says "No opening around Christmas".

Gin and Jiang Gu Ling looked at each other in blank dismay.

"..."

Two days after being caught in an avalanche caused by the explosion at Mt. Tanzawa, Yuku and a group of victims shared food in the snowstorm, waiting for rescue.Most of the mountain road was destroyed, and even mountaineers who had been to this scenic mountain many times could not distinguish their direction in the white snow for a while.The sound of rescue helicopters may have appeared, but they were all covered by the snowstorm. Everyone was like an abandoned island, waiting for the end of the whole snowstorm.

Food and water are slowly being consumed,

Those who went out to explore the road during the day were injured because they could not figure out the reality of the road due to the snow.

The non-stop snowstorm seems to have no end.The only thing that comforts them is that there is a policeman and emergency doctor who can stabilize the people and control the order.But he is the one who is responsible for implementing arrangements that can be fully implemented.

In charge of arranging, deploying, exploring and staying behind, and distributing food is another Qingjun youth next to him.

The night of December 24th.

It has been three or four days since everyone was trapped on the snow mountain.After dinner in the evening, the mountaineer turned on the radio again to listen to tomorrow's weather forecast and the surrounding situation.

"The snowstorm will stop for an hour or two tonight, but it will continue tomorrow."

Everyone's mood will inevitably be clouded again.

But it's not bad news, Danzi District was restored to power at night.

"All in all, let's continue to recharge our batteries. Today is Christmas Eve, so we can celebrate a little better." There were many Christians among the victims, and for them, today is the most important day.

Although they wanted to celebrate so much, the food would be consumed faster, Dazai Osamu thought about not agreeing, but Uku felt that confidence and hope were the most important things now, and Dazai Osamu agreed indifferently.The two captains of the entire disaster group agreed, and the others who wanted to object had to agree.

They put the only snacks and small cakes on the table, and the candles that had been sparing recently were lit in the cave. For a while, the lights seemed to illuminate the entire cave with heating.The children gathered around and followed the adults while clapping and singing "Jingle Bells".Osamu Dazai tilted his head to look at the flickering flame of the candle for a while, and then looked at Natsume Yuku who was shaking his head following the rhythm, and Osamu Dazai suddenly laughed.

"You sing along too."

Yu Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't know how to sing."

"How bad are you?"

Osamu Dazai didn't think too much about it, he just felt that Yuku was a complete idiot when it came to trivial matters in life,

"Can you sing jingle bells? When others sing jingle bells, you follow along."

"?"

Dazai: "Ding Ding Dong."

Yu Jiu copied and pasted: "Ding Ding Dong."

Osamu Dazai was almost teased to death by him: "Stupid."

Just as he finished his voice, a child's voice suddenly came on: "Look outside!"

Following his voice, everyone looked out of the cave. In the wind and snow that was slowly subsiding, colorful lights like fireflies lit up from far to near.And the one holding the colored lights one by one is a boy with yellow hair dressed like a big pyrene.He walked to the front of the cave with difficulty, raised his head and asked people with a smile.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Natsume Uhisa here? My detective has made a snowman at the foot of the mountain. Follow me down the mountain."

As soon as these words fell, everyone's voices were boiling.

"The way down the mountain!?"

"Correct."

Miyazawa Kenji didn't know that there were so many people here.

"Just follow the colored lights and walk down the mountain. Let's go down the mountain by touching the lead line."

It should not be too late, everyone started to prepare to go down the mountain, and before they had time to ask each other's background, they started to set off quickly.The traction line made of colorful lights is long, as if it has no end, but in the dark night, it is like an elf who awakens the childlike innocence and hope in everyone's heart, and every step is full of joy and anticipation.

The three 10-minute walk went faster than expected.

And at the end of the finish line, they saw countless little snowmen with golden stars on their heads, noses and hands made of chocolate.Pieces of warm and soft lights glowed like golden pools on the snow, like countless stars falling into the world on Christmas Eve, embracing the snow.And there was a black-haired young man wearing a brown coat on the snow. His eyes pierced through the crowd, and he landed on Natsume Yuhisa precisely. He waved his hands vigorously, and even his smile was shining. Type said "Look! Twinkle twinkle twinkle".

Natsume Yujiu's eyes flickered following the movement.

How did Edogawa Ranpo get to where it is today?

At this time, the devout Christian just read the words about Christmas from "Luke" next to him.

"The angel said to them, "Fear not, for I bring you great joyful tidings for all peoples. "

"Thank God for His love, we are finally saved, Amen."

Uhisa just stared at Edogawa Ranpo, so quiet that he looked like a plaster sculpture that couldn't speak.When Dazai Osamu was about to speak, Yu Jiu's voice sounded: "Look, Mr. Ranpo is really a special person, isn't he?"

Some people say that when you are young, you should not meet people who are too amazing.

Ke Yujiu looked at Edogawa Ranpo who looked like a little sun in the light of many stars, and couldn't help but say——

"why not?"

"If you can meet, even if this life is short, it will be worth it."
