Huzhu brand collecting machine rushes to the world

Taeko Arao was the culprit in the explosion at Arao Academy.

When Osamu Dazai spoke about it in his soft voice, Knotashi Yuhito thought he heard it wrong.

"what?"

Standing on the bustling street, she repeated blankly: "What?"

"how is this possible?"

Knotabagi Yuhito hurriedly said, stuttering a bit: "Ms. Arao is a good person, how could she be a bomber?"

The old lady would worry that she was going to commit suicide when she met a girl by the bridge on the side of the road, so she tried to persuade her.Hearing that she was homeless, Arao Taeko took her home without saying a word, allowed her to borrow, and let her study for free.Her care is not only subtle, but also very considerate.

Yuzu Yujin touched the clothes on her body, she was wearing a hoodie today, her brother picked it out for her, the price is not cheap, and the quality is also very good.But she remembered the old-fashioned high school uniform worn some time ago, the red plaid skirt, bubble socks, the style 20 years ago-it was the high school uniform of Taeko Arao's daughter.

"Ms. Arao... is really a nice person."

She feels like the store manager in the foreign food cat house, kind and gentle, without bad intentions, and the surrounding atmosphere is warm.

The file folder that Osamu Dazai took away before he left contained all the reports on the Arao Academy bombing. The evidence was conclusive. Facing the evidence, Hirohito Kojou murmured weakly.

She was dazed by the sudden turn of events. Fortunately, she was not really 15 years old, but inside she was a mature mind who had experienced many events.

"The bomb buried in the school didn't hurt anyone, because it was detonated when there was no one in the school." Yujin Yuzu calmed down and found that something was wrong from the beginning of the incident, "The real bomb did not cause any harm. will do."

In a certain world, she met bombers. Two prisoners set up bombs in crowded places to threaten the police with money.Later, a bomber escaped from pursuit, and in the following years set bomb traps to retaliate against the police.

When Yuzu Yuhito traveled to that world, it happened to be a few seconds before the explosion. The sense of crisis after the hundred battles made her immediately open the domain. The explosion was swallowed by blood, and everyone present was unharmed.She became the savior of the others, and was released without rigorous interrogation after dealing with it.

One of the police officers recognized her as a righteous sister, provided her with life support, taught her book knowledge and some common sense of criminology.

"Generally, the purpose of bombing crimes is to revenge and show off their abilities. They hope to attract attention, and the disturbance will not be small." Yujin Yuzhang recalled the few words he had learned, and his clear voice lowered, "Explosion. Explosion Prisoners only hope that as many people die as possible, they will not kindly avoid the time when the students are not around."

This did not match the behavioral characteristics of the bomber. The police reorganized their thinking and finally suspected Taeko Arao.

It is abnormal to suddenly organize a big outing for all the teachers and students of the school in June.The reason Arao Taeko said was that the big outing was her last commemoration after her bankruptcy and the school was about to be incorporated. It sounded very moving, but it could not convince the police at the critical moment of the explosion.

There is no way to hide from the sharp eyes of the Armed Detective Agency.

Knotaba Yuhito smiled wryly in frustration, but she didn't remain depressed for a long time, and soon cheered up, and together with Dazai Osamu, they searched for Arao Taeko's traces - Arao Taeko disappeared, so she became a wanted by the police.

"...What's wrong, Dazai-san? Is there something on my face?"

After finishing his analysis, Katsuobu Yuhito found that Osamu Dazai was looking at her.

The look in his eyes made her feel a little dangerous. When the kite-colored eyes looked at her, they were not serious and focused, and they were not as kind as the corners of his mouth. Instead, it reminded her of the cold light of a sword drawn out of its sheath.

Knotaba Yuhito's little finger by his side twitched.

"It's nothing. Yuuhito-kun is really talented, and your analysis of the bomber is not wrong." Osamu Dazai smiled lightly and sweetly as if nothing had happened, "Oh, I'm so happy to partner with a girl~"

He muttered and complained that Kunikida Doppo often made bad faces at him.

"Mr. Kunikida is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. He often writes reports for Mr. Dazai!"

Knotabagi Yuhito let go of the vigilance caused by the investigation, walked up to Osamu Dazai, and smiled: "Mr. Dazai, if you want to know anything, just ask me."

"Anything is fine?"

"As long as I can say it."

"Then I'm welcome!"

"Just ask~"

"What type of boys does Yuren-kun like?"

"Tall and muscular!"

Yuzu Yuhito replied without thinking, and it took a few seconds to realize that he was being tricked, and shouted angrily: "Mr. Dazai!"

Osamu Dazai made a face at her: "It's time for work, Yuuhito-kun, the bookstore that Ms. Arao often frequents~"

Yuzu Yuhito's cheeks puffed up like a hamster, and the moment the bookstore owner came out, she lost her temper and changed into a cute and polite side.

Seeing her face change in a second, Osamu Dazai smiled secretly.

……

Yuzuhito and Osamu Dazai searched several places Arao Taeko frequented, and asked if anyone had seen her, and they all said no.

The sun was getting higher and higher, Dazai Osamu's black hair on his forehead was slightly wet with sweat, and Knotaba Yuhito was careful. When he found this, he asked him what to drink, and then ran to the vending machine 3 meters away at a speed of 100 meters in 800 seconds. After buying an iced drink, I ran back quickly.

"Here, Mr. Dazai's oolong tea."

Yuzu Yujin has always been likable, polite, sweet-mouthed and able to work since he was a junior.

"Thank you, Yuuhito-kun." Osamu Dazai found a big tree and asked her to sit down and rest together.

He sat down on the outstretched roots of the big tree, not caring whether the sand-colored windbreaker would get dirty.

Thinking of the new trousers her brother bought for her, Yuzu Youren hesitated and decided to treat them better on the first day. Instead of sitting on the tree roots, she squatted down. Anyway, she has good physical strength and is not tired.

She looked at Dazai Osamu's windbreaker and bandages that he refused to take off, and at his sweat-drenched hair. She felt a little strange in her heart, but she didn't like to dictate to others, so she didn't Asking did not persuade him to wear less.

"Where, I should say thank you."

"Not only do I want to thank Mr. Dazai, but I also want to thank everyone in the detective agency."

Knotaba Yuhito squatted firmly with his knees in his arms, rubbing his chin on his knees.Most people would fall down long ago, but she is very flexible and does it very naturally.

She had just started asking for salary advances to be donated to Arao Academy, and the Armed Detective Agency did it for her within a few days.Not only that, but when she saw the remittance slip, she knew that the president also subsidized a little money—it stands to reason that the salary of Knotweed Yujin should be tax deducted before donating, and the amount would be a little less, but the money on the remittance slip was The amount of her salary before taxes.

After finding out that Arao Taeko might have a problem, everyone in the detective agency didn't say anything, and continued to celebrate Hirohito's joining the agency as usual.

When something happened to the benefactor, Yu Zhang Youren would definitely not be able to sit with peace of mind. If she later found out that she was not there when the benefactor had an accident, Knotweed Yuren would regret it, and it might become her heart disease.

The staff of the detective agency understood her kindness, and deliberately transferred this case from the police, and the detective agency came forward to help solve it.

"Thank you all for thinking of me."

The Armed Detective Agency asked her to come out to investigate, and they hoped that she would find out the truth of the incident. They only hoped that she had participated in it. In retrospect, she did not do nothing. .

After asking a few of Arao Taeko's old friends and acquaintances at Arao Taeko's frequented places, Hirohito Katsuo still didn't understand why she set up a bomb in her cherished academy.

"Do you want to ask Ms. Arao's family next?"

After the break, Knotaba Yuhito and Dazai Osamu regrouped and continued their investigation.

The matter is not over yet, they haven't asked Arao Taeko's closest people yet.

"No need to ask." Osamu Dazai denied her statement.

"Huh? Why?" Hirohito Katsuobu didn't understand and asked, "Ms. Arao also has a granddaughter?"

Osamu Dazai said indifferently: "I just received a call from Kunikida-kun. He asked a hacker who is good with detectives to investigate Ms. Arao's situation. Ms. Arao was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer not long ago. As for her granddaughter who is studying abroad— —”

"There is no such person."

Knotabagi Yujin felt the hairs on her back, and she subconsciously made a swallowing movement to relieve the tension.

Osamu Dazai put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and his voice was as soft as a feather: "Eight years ago, Ms. Arao's granddaughter went missing. Six years ago, she claimed that her granddaughter was found and sent her to study abroad in a safer place. , When Ms. Arao found her granddaughter, there was only a corpse left."

"She's so pitiful..."

It is difficult for people who have heard Arao Taeko's life to speak ill of her.Losing her father when she was young, her Chinese-born mother remarried. She guarded the family business and grew up under the care of domestic servants.When she got married as an adult, her relationship with her husband became closer and she was pregnant with a child. Her husband died unexpectedly, and her mother died in the same year.After a few years of delay, she married again and had a daughter and two sons after marriage, but only her daughter survived to adulthood.

The daughter is married and pregnant, Arao Taeko is waiting to have grandchildren, but the news of her husband's death in a car accident comes from the police station.What made her even more distressed was that her husband was sitting in the passenger seat of a prostitute!

Considering her pregnant daughter, Arao Taeko endured the humiliation and took care of her husband's funeral, and ordered the family not to let her daughter know about it, so why not let the backyard catch fire.

Arao Taeko's daughter was shocked to give birth prematurely, and she gave birth to a daughter after she was pregnant.Soon after, Arao Taeko's younger brother was shot dead by the mafia.

While raising her granddaughter, Taeko Arao opened a school and raised orphans.Just when life was getting better, she lost her granddaughter.When one gets old, one becomes bankrupt and suffers from stomach cancer.

No wonder Taeko Arao became desperate and extreme.

There are too many factors that stimulate her to go to extremes.

However, there is one thing that Yuzu Yuhito doesn't understand: "The bomb at Arao Academy did not cause any casualties. What is the purpose of her detonating the bomb?"

Osamu Dazai smiled, with a hint of excitement in it: "Suicide!"

"The person Ms. Arao wants to kill with the bomb is herself!"

Yuzu Yuhito suddenly turned his head, with a face like seeing a ghost, she opened her mouth to refute, but found that Osamu Dazai's statement had no flaws in logic.

If the behavioral characteristics of the bomber are used to deduce Arao Taeko's psychology, it seems very strange that no casualties were caused.

But if we trace it back from the behavioral characteristics of suicide, it makes sense why the explosion was anticlimactic.

Arao Taeko will not live long, she feels pain and wants to commit suicide but doesn't want to hurt others.Arao Academy was founded by her alone, and she also wanted to be buried in the academy to put an end to her life.

Knotabagi Yuhito expressed his guess.

"Hmm..." Osamu Dazai also agreed, but he didn't deny it. He raised his eyes and looked at the sky, where a plane drew a long white line in the sky.

"When we meet Ms. Arao at the police station, maybe you can ask her if your guess is correct."

"Isn't Ms. Arao missing?"

Knotabagi Yuhito didn't understand why he said such a sentence suddenly.

Just as she finished speaking, Osamu Dazai's phone rang.

Osamu Dazai waved the interface of police officer Aoyama who was calling the caller in front of her, and was satisfied to see the pink-haired girl looking at him with bright eyes after being shocked.

Her praise and compliments from the heart did not carry heavy emotions, and Osamu Dazai would also be happy to receive positive feedback from purely relaxed human beings.

"Ms. Arao surrendered herself?"

After a brief chat, Hirohito Kojo and Osamu Dazai took the subway to the police station to visit Taeko Arao.

"Principal Arao."

Facing the gray-haired old man, Hiroto Hirohito followed the previous address and called her the principal.

Contrary to her expectations, Arao Taeko's face was not depressed, on the contrary, she looked more energetic than the day of the school bombing, with her white hair neatly combed and light makeup on.She didn't wear old-fashioned round glasses today, without the cover of accessories, a pair of shrewd and sharp eyes were revealed, which made people feel shocked.

Yuzu Yuhito felt disobedient, Taeko Arao in front of her eyes seemed to be quite different from the ordinary weak old man in her impression.

The old man who was in the mood to put on delicate makeup before surrendering himself, and the old man whose eyes were as excited as a predator, was in great contrast to his sad appearance before!

Knotweed Yuren moved his nose, smelling the smell of rust covered by the aroma, his pupils constricted: "The smell of blood."

Arao Taeko, who had softened her eyes since she came in, looked at her lovingly, smiled slightly with retro red lips, and said, "Yes. I killed someone."

Hearing the words, the policeman waiting at the side hurriedly took out his notebook and began to take notes. Arao Taeko just refused to say a word!

After writing it down, he was shocked: When she first entered the police station, Arao Taeko only said that she set up a bomb a few days ago!

She also killed? !

There was sadness in the eyes of Knotabagi Yuhito: "Why? Who did you kill?"

The policeman craned his neck nervously, hoping Taeko Arao would speak.

Ignoring the policeman on the background board, Arao Taeko answered all questions of Knotabagi Yuhito: "I killed a few bastards who abducted and trafficked children." She raised her chin and said lightly, "The lady pistol in the bag I used .”

The police turned pale and immediately confiscated her handbag. Sure enough, they found a lady's pistol with steaming muzzle.

"Ms. Arao, you are suspected of homicide, please follow us into the interrogation room!"

The police put handcuffs on Arao Taeko. In the previous bombing case, her surrender was still in progress. Now that a murder case has been reported, she can no longer be allowed to sit outside leisurely!

Knotabagi Yuhito was escorted aside by the police, raised his hand, and put it down again.

There was nothing she could do.

Ms. Arao treats her very well, but murder is a crime, and she cannot stop the police from handling the case.

Osamu Dazai asked her to sit down and wait, and the police would ask her to help later.

He spread his hands, and a part of the bandage on his arm fell off: "The police officers insisted on making things more troublesome for something that could have been done in one go. There's really no way. Sigh..."

"Ask me to go in and help?" Knotabagi Yujin woke up from the depression of seeing the sinister society, and asked blankly, "What can I do?"

She is very powerful, but there are too many things in this world that cannot be solved by force.

"Please help Ms. Arao to speak."

Osamu Dazai looked at the clock on the wall and called her to eat: "It will take a few hours before I call you. The police will not give in to Ms. Arao so quickly. They believe that their interrogation ability can ask the number and names of the dead. , the location of the dead body and other information.”

Unfortunately, the police thought otherwise.

Arao Taeko is a woman with a strong will. When she was pregnant, she was studying for a doctorate in clinical psychology. This is not the first time she has killed someone. It is absolutely impossible for the police to break through her psychological defense in a short time.

The police really can't afford to waste time.

Taeko Arao has a few loyal friends who are lawyers, judges, journalists, and writers. They are all powerful figures in their respective fields. A few articles can attract reporters to the police station.

How sad and indignant an old woman who was keen on charity after losing many close relatives decided to kill a few kidnappers after bankruptcy and advanced gastric cancer!What a story!

Knotashi Yuhito asked blankly: "Will the police be scolded?" As long as the article is emotionally rendered, the society will have a lot of sympathy for Arao Taeko, which is not good for the police department.

She felt even more uncomfortable. The benefactor who took her in suddenly killed someone. She couldn't just say that the killing was good, and she couldn't say that Arao Taeko did something wrong.

With Taeko Arao's tragic experience, Hirohito Knotashi couldn't say anything to criticize her.

But she never wants serious police officers to suffer criticism: "It's not fair to them."

"With you here, the matter will not develop to the point of no return." Osamu Dazai asked her to eat quickly.

"I?"

"Ah! Mr. Dazai is saying that I can get Ms. Arao to tell the truth?"

"Well. In fact, she originally wanted to create the illusion of being killed in the bombing, so that the bankrupt school can get a sum of insurance compensation, and the government can also arrange for the remaining children to go to school. After Ms. Arao's health deteriorated, it is difficult In the limited life time, hundreds of children will be properly arranged. If she is killed in the school, the government will give resources to these hundreds of children under the attention of public opinion, and give them priority in helping them."

Osamu Dazai made a good guess about the truth of the incident based on the information he had and his thoughts on Arao Taeko.

"But she didn't make it in time that morning, and a small car accident on the road thwarted her plans."

Knotaba Yuhito felt unable to breathe: "Then why did she kill people?!" What made her most distressed was that Taeko Arao still had a kind heart!She is not a cold-blooded demon!

"Because her spirit has reached its limit." Osamu Dazai nodded his temple.

"Ms. Arao is very strong-willed, but what happened six years ago broke her psychological defenses—her lost granddaughter was found dead after the summer festival. After claiming the corpse, she developed psychological problems."

Osamu Dazai took out a piece of information, on which was the number of times Arao Taeko went to psychological counseling.

"She falsely claimed to relatives and friends that her granddaughter was found and sent to study abroad, which was a sign of her mental breakdown."

The little girl who died at the summer festival? !

Knotashi Yuhito's face turned pale: ""Tengu and Kaguya Princess"?!"

"That's right, Ms. Arao invested in the filming of this movie."

A year ago, "Tengu and Kaguya Hime" was broadcast, and the box office was dismal at the beginning-the movie was too sweet at the beginning, but too bitter at the end.At the beginning, people who were attracted by the title of the movie cursed fraudulently, and then a group of college students spontaneously promoted it on the Internet.

However, the Yokohama Police Department applied to remove the film early on the grounds that the film caused damage to the reputation of the police department.

"Tengu and Kaguya Ji" ended sadly, and only sold for a low price on streaming media.

Arao Taeko's financial situation has also become tense since then.

Yuzu Yuhito was stunned for a while, she understood why Arao Taeko wanted to use public opinion to take revenge on the police.

Taeko Arao couldn't help but hate how the film she made for her granddaughter ended so dismally.

Taeko Arao wouldn't care if it was just a bad box office. She knew the box office would be bad before filming, and advised her friends not to invest.Her wish is for more people to see the movie about her granddaughter.

However, the police chief at the time was so powerful that he forced this little transparent movie to be released in advance.

Knotweed Yuren mechanically picked up the rice, she couldn't taste the food in her mouth, only bitterness remained.

After eating, Yuzu Yujin planned to walk around the area, waiting for the police to call her for help.

Osamu Dazai wanted to go back to the detective agency to find fish and blow the air conditioner, but he was more gentle with women, so he didn't say his plan, only said to leave her alone for a while, and he went to work nearby.

It's so hot, let's buy some ice cream.

"Thank you, Dazai-san."

Knotabagi Yuhito was moved by his words and sniffled: "I'll lie on the bridge for a while and go find you."

"Okay, I'll treat you to ice cream later." Osamu Dazai rubbed her short pink hair, feeling good.

Knotabagi Yuhito forced a smile.

The river was gurgling under the bridge, and Yuzu Yujin picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them one after another. The stones sank into the river and made a loud noise.

After throwing stones for a while to decompress, Katsuobu Yuhito finally felt better, patted the ashes on his hands, and prepared to go to Dazai Osamu.

The moment she turned around, she bumped into someone who was running in a hurry.

With a bang, the running man was knocked sideways by Knotaba Yuhito, and he was about to fall, Katsuyuki Yujin grabbed his wrist and pulled him to help him stand still.

"sorry!"

Knotabagi Yuhito first apologized: "You are not injured, are you?"

She will be fine if she bumps into someone or gets bumped, but she is afraid of hurting others. The body of an ordinary person is not as strong as cement!

"Sorry, I forgot to look at the road just now. I accidentally bumped into you, are you okay?"

The man she lifted up had dark red hair, a small braid at the back of his head, a little stubble on his chin, and a low voice, but his words were very elegant and polite. to himself.

Knotabazu Yuhito quickly waved his hand: "I'm fine!"

The red-haired man breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good...Miss Knotweed?"

"Yu Ren-kun, I brought you ice cream, are you in a better mood?"

When his name was called, Yuzu Yuhito turned around and replied, "It's better, Mr. Dazai."

"Dazai?"

Hearing the name, the red-haired man was startled, and turned around.

So Osamu Dazai saw his face clearly, the hand holding the ice cream shook, and the cream fell to the ground.

"Odasaku?!"
