crunch--

The tires of a car on the side of the road slipped and made a long and sharp sound.

It was like the trembling nerves of Knotweed Yuren.

"What?!"

She was shocked.

Such a coincidence?

"Is it the "Tengu and Kaguya Hime" that was adapted into a movie?"

Oda Sakunosuke was confused by her attitude: "That's right."

"After I moved to Osaka, I ran into a lady at the publishing house. She found that I was familiar with the life of Yokohama's lower class, especially the lives of orphans, and decided to sponsor my initial writing expenses."

"After the novel was finished, I sent the manuscript to her for reading, and she proposed a plan for film adaptation."

This is the origin of the movie "Tengu and Kaguya Hime".

Oda Sakunosuke showed hesitation: "The film's release in advance has something to do with my writing about the Yokohama city police taking bribes too nakedly."

He felt guilty to the patron, and regretted not persuading her to be more tactful and follow the market when adapting, otherwise the film would not have suffered a disastrous failure.

Investors will not go to extremes because of bankruptcy.

Knotashi Yuhito couldn't help turning his eyes to Osamu Dazai.

Since it is a movie adapted from a friend's novel, Osamu Dazai naturally wants to defend it.

"It was the former police chief who was at fault for abusing his power. The reason why the movie box office is not good is because the current audience is too fragile and impetuous to feel good works."

Osamu Dazai threw the pot away without changing his face.

Knotabagi Youruhito looked up at the sky.

In the morning they talked about the bankruptcy of Arao Taeko by this movie. Mr. Dazai didn’t have much sympathy, but said coldly that “there are plenty of reasons for the commercial failure of the movie” and “after all, it’s a movie made for the self-satisfaction of investors, no wonder It is not surprising that the market acceptance is not high", "I heard that Ms. Arao paid someone to write a novel, and some of the novels were adapted into movies. Wow, I don't know where a third-rate novelist came from. It is not good to cheat old people out of money."

Now, Osamu Dazai's praise has risen from the writing technique of the novel to the social significance, as if anyone who doesn't like "Tengu and Kaguya Hime" is a vulgar crowd with aesthetic ability.

Knotweed Yuren: →_→

Although Mr. Dazai used euphemistic words, Hirohito Katsuobu could tell that his praise had a filter of relatives and friends.

How could Oda Sakunosuke not feel it?

He smiled helplessly, as before, he didn't say much to Osamu Dazai.

"Anyway, I'm going to meet Ms. Arao."

This is what Oda Sakunosuke must do, and Arao Taeko appreciates him.

Yuzuki Yuhito comforted him, and recounted the speculation that Osamu Dazai told her, saying that Taeko Arao's change of behavior was not caused by bankruptcy, but a hidden danger that had been buried since her bereavement six years ago. As time went by, Taeko Arao The bitterly suppressed emotions finally burst out.

"Did I repeat it correctly, Mr. Dazai?"

She turned to more experienced seniors for support.

Osamu Dazai touched his chin, and purposely murmured for a long time: "Did I say that?"

"Eh?" Knotabagi Yujin was dumbfounded.

Could it be that Mr. Dazai lied to her before?

"Dazai..."

Oda Sakunosuke sighed.

"Miss Knotashi, he's teasing you." Knowing his friend's mischievous character, Oda Sakunosuke said soothingly to Knotaba Yuhito.

"Trick me again!"

Knotabagi Yuhito pouted dissatisfiedly.

Dazai Zhizhi said bluntly: "Whoever called Youren-kun is stupid, I believe what others say~"

"I believe in Mr. Dazai so I don't doubt you." Hirohito Kojou pouted in aggrieved way, "Why is this!"

"Yuhito-kun is very good at saying flattering words, I'm so happy. So I decided to—"

"In order for you to improve your ability to identify lies in the future, I will work hard to train you in this area!"

Osamu Dazai proudly made a horoscope on his chin: "After all, I am the world's first-class and responsible senior!"

Knotabagi Youruhito showed dead fish eyes, and didn't want to pay attention to him: "..."

After the gag, Oda Sakunosuke's heavy heart eased a lot.

"Ms. Arao's spirit has been forced to this point..." Oda Sakunosuke sympathized with the old man's experience, "The last route chosen is death."

Whether it is to blow up oneself or kill others, the means of choice are very drastic.

Osamu Dazai's voice was still soft: "There is no way to do this. The blows she has suffered in her life are enough for ordinary people to collapse many times."

Knotabagi Yuhito glanced at him, always felt that there was a trace of indifference in his soft voice.

The black-haired young man noticed her gaze, lowered his head and smiled at her.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't see the dispute between the two of them. He put his mind on the Arao Taeko incident and agreed with his friend: "It's not easy for Ms. Arao to survive until now."

Killing people is bad, but no one can blame Taeko Arao. Her life was too bitter, and what was left to her in the end was full of regrets.

Katsuo Yuruhito hates killing people, she knows that Arao Taeko is wrong to kill people, but when she came to the interrogation room, she saw that Arao Taeko couldn't hide her fatigue from the corners of her eyes and tried her best to smile at her, how could Katsuo Yuruhito have the heart to tell her her true thoughts .

The old man went too far and caused problems for some people, but he was kind to Knotweed Yujin.

Yuzuhito knew that Arao Taeko was looking at another person through her, or in other words, other people.

She was escorted into the interrogation room by the police as an assistant.

——Osamu Dazai was in an unprecedentedly happy mood because of his friend's "resurrection from the dead". It was rare for him to work with enthusiasm. He took the time to send a text message to his partner Kunikida Doppo, informing him of the ins and outs of Taeko Arao's incident.

Afterwards, Fukuzawa Yukichi personally called the police chief to communicate with him about the handling of Arao Taeko's interrogation.

After investigation, an article related to Arao Taeko's life experience has appeared on the Internet. After pondering, the police chief decided to make a quick decision.

Only insiders know about the embarrassment of a little girl seeking help from Yuzu Yuuhito. If the Arao Taeko incident really caused a big public opinion, it would be a shame for the whole situation.

They can tell which is more important.

Knotweed Yuhito was apparently a minor, and she was accompanied by two police officers when she entered the interrogation room.

Arao Taeko knew she was going to lose when she saw Kozu Yuuhito coming in. As soon as she saw this child, she thought of her daughter and granddaughter who died young, and her psychological defense was broken.

For a while, the interrogation room was only filled with the old woman's hoarse narration and the rustle of notes. Arao Taeko explained the method of committing the two cases, the motive of committing the crime, the source of the murder weapon, and the place where the dead were placed in an orderly manner.

Knotabagi Yuhito pushed the water glass towards her.

The make-up of the elderly woman had come off a little, Arao Taeko smiled with difficulty, she was old after all, sitting in the interrogation room for so long and talking so much made her body very uncomfortable.

Yuzu Yujin, who was sitting quietly next to him, showed a gentle and compassionate look on his face.

A few minutes later, Arao Taeko smelled a fresh woody fragrance from the tip of her nose. It was not as thick and strong as pine and cypress, but it had a touch of sweetness, but its presence could not be ignored.Just inhaling a small amount, Taeko Arao's drowsy head immediately became light and relaxed, and the fatigue in her body was gradually swept away.

Arao Taeko's speaking speed to the police returned to a smooth and smooth level.

The police also smelled a fragrance, which was very obvious in the closed and narrow interrogation room. Their tense nerves were unknowingly relieved, and they did not feel the usual heaviness after taking the notes.

At the end of the interrogation, before Yuzu Yuhito was about to leave, Arao Taeko couldn't help saying, "Thank you."

The elderly have more intuitions about death and gods and Buddhas than young people. She used to have a good family background and often went to the shrine to pay homage. She smelled the precious spices lit by the shrine for the distinguished guests. Among them, there was a scent of cypress that was very similar to the one she just smelled. .

Those priests and monks often said how miraculous the effect of cypress fragrance is, Taeko Arao always smiled politely, didn't take it seriously, just blindly scented it.

She didn't understand why cypress incense is often used to worship gods and Buddhas until she experienced it personally today. It really has the effect of calming the mind and meditating.

Arao Taeko didn't understand how the knotweed Yuren did it, maybe it was a supernatural power, maybe it was Shinto, she didn't know the origin of the fragrance, but she knew that the girl in front of her was a good child who was so kind that she couldn't bear to see the murderer suffer.

"You must be able to live well without me." Arao Taeko's eyes became misty and confused, "Getting close to me may drag you down instead."

The police were urging people to leave, Hirohito Kojou apologized to them, squatted in front of Taeko Arao, and grabbed her withered hand tightly, his eyes were gentle and firm, full of strength.

"Please don't say that."

"I am very glad to have your help. Your kindness can warm others."

After hesitating for a moment, Knotabagi Yuhito finally said slowly: "I think your daughter and granddaughter will not regret being your children either."

Arao Taeko's eyes widened suddenly, her body froze, and her breathing was so light that it almost disappeared.

"You did something wrong, but you are not a hopeless villain." Hirohito Katsuobu couldn't say that the villain deserved to die, and the law would not hold Taeko Arao innocent, even if she killed someone who was not a good person.

Instead of staying on the topic of murder for too long, Kojou Yuhito talked about the last thing Arao Taeko cared about.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the children's enrollment."

Thinking of her lovely students, Arao Taeko lowered her head in shame. She felt ashamed most of them. If they knew that they were murderers, how sad they would be!

"Kumizhang-kun, you're a child too." The old headmaster gently touched the face of Knotabagi Yuhito, refusing to let her take on such a big responsibility, "Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements. My affairs will definitely cause a stir , the government will arrange them well.”

Knotashi Yuhito said calmly: "If the principal's matter is announced, the public opinion will definitely be extremely controversial, and the children will inevitably bear criticism."

Arao Taeko smiled bitterly, she knew all this, but she still couldn't help being selfish and venting her desire, that's why she felt ashamed of the children.

"Didn't I say before that I found a good job?" Knotabagi Yuhito smiled reassuringly at her, and said, "It's called an armed detective agency, and it cooperates with the government, the military and the police. I try to do more tasks. can..."

Taeko Arao was moved, she understood the implication of Hirohito's words, but this is absolutely impossible!

"How old are you!" She said seriously, "Mr. Knotweed, don't take too much responsibility on yourself, you will be overwhelmed and collapse first!" The old principal has taught students for many years and is proficient in psychology. I saw the hidden danger hidden in Knotabagi Youroto.

How can a young girl have a serious 'use' thinking, and the object of the 'use' is still herself? !

"I know you have wonderful abilities." Thinking of the magical cypress fragrance just now, Arao Taeko's tone was almost inaudible, and she knew that Knotabagi Yujin could hear her, "No matter how talented or powerful you are in other fields, Knotweed Jun, you have to remember: you are a young man!"

"I can feel that your heart is being cruelly ripened by foreign objects, but I hope you don't overdraw yourself and force yourself to grow up." Taeko Arao finally understood why she couldn't help but pull Yuzu Yuhito off the bridge.

It wasn't that she was worried about the girl jumping - she had never seen a girl sitting so freely on the high bridge, she felt that the girl was not human!

Obviously, youth is just right, a good time, but the girl sitting on the bridge reveals the silence and loneliness of sleeping in a coffin.

"Go to school! Go to life!"

Classmates, teachers, friends, lovers, colleagues...

The fetters promised with them will one day become the strength to warm this child, so that she will no longer be confused about her own survival.

"Humans are not machines! You just need to use your abilities in a certain corner of your life. Don't think about taking care of everything yourself. Complex and grand things should be done by organizations with more functions."

Before parting, Taeko Arao held Hirohito's hand instead, exhorting her earnestly.

After leaving the police station, Hiroto Hiroto found a stone pier and sat there without saying a word.

Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke reunited as old friends, and they were adults. They needed to deal with some affairs that were inconvenient for Yuzu Yuhito, so they found a suitable place not far away for an in-depth discussion.

Yuzu Yujin stared blankly at the ground, her heart was so tangled up in a mess that even she herself couldn't sort out what she was thinking.

After a while, she spoke to herself.

"You also know that you are not smart!" Yuzuki Yujin rubbed his cheeks, "Why do you think so much? Listen to grandpa and the principal, go to school obediently, join clubs, make a few friends, and then maybe you will understand why they are so said."

"call……"

Knotweed Yujin patted his butt and stood up, deciding to have a big meal later. She wants to eat curry pork chop rice, cheese lobster, roast beef, petrel cake and milk tea. Muscular women are not afraid of any calorie bombs!

Just when Yuzu Yuren was about to leave, a handsome man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked over anxiously. When he saw Yuzu Yuren, his eyes lit up, and he asked politely: "Miss, do you see a Puppy? It's about this big..."

The man with glasses narrated the details of the lost puppy, and asked distressedly: "Can you look for the puppy with me? It should be around here. I'll treat you to dinner!"

Yuzu Yujin subconsciously touched the back of his neck with his right hand, and then rubbed his nose with his right index finger, the faint cypress fragrance still sticking to his hand.

"The puppy is so pitiful! Let me help you find it together!" The pink-haired girl smiled innocently and cutely.

"That's great, Miss, you are really kind-hearted!"

The man with glasses said with a smile, when he passed a certain intersection corner, he shot like lightning, and the ether towel covered the pink-haired girl's mouth and nose, and she passed out quickly.

An hour later, the Yokohama Police Station received a report that a girl claimed to have been kidnapped by a serial killer.

**

Meanwhile, Suihachi Street in Yokohama.

A young boy dressed as a monk approached the house where Knotaba Yuhito once lived.

Limei remembered what the adult told him: "Limei, go to her with the desire to kill that little devil, and you will smell the aroma of cypress."

"Bring back my stuff."
