A 10-minute walk from the coast of Yokohama Harbor is the warehouse street under the jurisdiction of PortMafia.Although PortMafia has now become a legally operating organization, the territory that was once used to accumulate weapons and smuggled items has been preserved, and has continued to expand, becoming a storage area for large warehouses. They are no longer the illegal goods they used to be, but bulk commodities from all over the world: private custom-made limited yachts, civil aircraft split into parts, imported medicines, vehicles... The only thing that remains the same is that except for the employees, the surrounding Residents and even the police dare not step into the minefields easily.

As night falls, outside the warehouse illuminated by the evening glow, several men in black are silently busy cleaning the blood stains on the ground and walls outside the warehouse, searching for some parts of the chopped up bodies that once belonged to people. part.

The reason is obvious. Prior to this, there had been more than one conflict in this area where no outsiders were allowed to enter: after the person in charge of the handover discovered that the warehouse managers and patrol personnel were attacked at the first time, he immediately notified his superiors, but when the person in charge After the head of the investigation site's guerrilla unit directly under the head arrived, the assassins who were hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity immediately launched a second round of attacks.

Near the end of the year, such a vicious incident happened, and the alarmed organization is about to send one of the five major cadres to the scene this time.

"Investigate the family background of the deceased according to the usual practice. If there are family members..." The mafia veteran Guangjin Liulang who stayed at the scene paused when he said this, and then said: "I will personally explain to them, the pension and the follow-up resettlement Prepare to come as usual."

As soon as his words fell, there was a roar of locomotives outside the warehouse street. The red and black locomotives ignoring the traffic regulations all the way jumped directly from the viaduct in the distance in the form of anti-gravity, and landed firmly on the road in front of the warehouse street. superior.

"The road conditions are congested during off-duty hours, um, so I arrived a little late, everyone—" Nakahara Nakaya, wearing a black windbreaker, stopped the engine and jumped down, and Izumi Kyoka, who was sitting in the back seat of her car, took off his helmet and followed suit .

All the men in black immediately raised their hands to their chests and saluted in the most respectful way: "Lord Zhongyuan."

"Tell me the situation in detail, Mr. Hirotsu, Ichiyo Higuchi's report on the phone was too urgent. I only heard about the attack and the fact that Akutagawa's abilities were consumed too much, so he was sent back to the headquarters for treatment." Nakahara Nakaya Looking around with his hands in his pockets: "Oh, the scene looks tragic after a long time."

Her words were true, the pavement and walls outside Warehouse Street were black and red splashed wantonly as if they had been heavily ink-painted—the color of dried blood, part of the shutter doors had been cut by something like a sharp knife, and the glass windows had been cut. It shattered all over the ground, and there was a tragic appearance of people's limbs being crushed in the middle.

But of course, this level of scene cannot change the face of the cadres who were once called "extremely evil", and even Izumi Kyoka has no strange color - she has also accepted the teachings of Ozaki Koyo since entering the organization, They have seen more brutal torture scenes than this.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to come here specially. The subordinates are sincerely afraid. The guards in charge of guarding this warehouse were all attacked. After receiving the information, the Black Lizard Troops dispatched special investigators. As a result, they encountered a second attack. The specific situation is ——" Guangjin Liulang reported.

"Akutagawa makes the scene look like this every time... I can understand why Dazai was so angry at the beginning. If it were me, I would lose patience after a few times." The scene that can [Rashomon] be destroyed, Nakahara said so, and stretched out his hand: "The personnel who attacked the second time, the on-site surveillance video, and the relatively complete situation of the deceased's body—" Because it was received by the call, the locomotive immediately When she arrived at the scene, she had no time to understand the current situation.

Without Guangjin Liulang's signal, his subordinates presented her with a tablet with a copy of the surveillance video and screened by time.

"Hmm, so at the beginning, one of the guards made a sudden attack, and then was subdued by others and was manipulated for some reason, and then carried out a contagious attack like a disaster..." Zhongyuan Zhong also pressed the pause button to zoom in on the screen, and after capturing the victim She squinted her eyes after seeing the blood on the victim's cheek and the subsequent scene of blood in her ears.

"What a coincidence," she said in a low voice. "The blood-spreading abilities were only targeting government personnel before yesterday, but they started attacking PortMafia today?" What made them change? target?Wanting to cover it up and borrow a knife to kill someone?Or is this the original intention of the Special Agents Division?

"...Lord Zhongyuan?" Guangjin Liulang didn't know why for a while.

"Recently, the armed detective agency is investigating a serial assassination case against government personnel. A person with supernatural powers uses blood as a medium to remotely manipulate living people to carry out assassinations. I saw one when I went to Haneda Airport to search for people yesterday afternoon. I guess the method is the same." Zhong Yuanzhong also squinted his eyes: "Suddenly changed the target of the attack... This is such a coincidence, it seems to be intentional." She repeated again.

"Are there any survivors at the scene?" Zhongya Nakahara continued to ask.

"Except for Izuya Higuchi who was with Captain Akutagawa and a few others, Akutagawa cadres strangled all the other people under control with Rashomon after the first attack, but at present, because the source of the attack cannot be determined, these people All of them will be quarantined separately." Guangjin Liulang reported in due course.

"...Knowing that he used the Rashomon to block the space in the first place to prevent it from being controlled by blood is considered a bit of progress. Although he rushed to the medical department to drink soup because of this, those people should be isolated for the time being. At the same time, blood tests were carried out, and the blood was stained. Don’t release it for now.” Nakahara also commented on Akutagawa’s handling of the incident, “Where’s the dead body?”

"Being temporarily placed elsewhere, do you need to...?"

"Well, there's no need to go, you go find the first attacker in the video, and let the members of the medical department extract blood from his body for identification comparison, since the ability is based on blood, then the first attacker The assailant must have external blood residues in his body. Take and try to separate the blood samples, and also adjust the city's monitoring and comparison to find potential contacts around him for blood collection comparisons, and remember to record the infection time - the ability must have limitations. After the data collection is complete, send it to me." Zhongyuan Zhong also said the same, and handed the tablet back to Guangjin Liulang: "Mr. Guangjin, you will personally supervise the whole process, remember to remind them not to have direct contact with blood so that the ability will still be effective , your ability is [repulsion], these things can be done, right?"

"of course."

"Let's find out here for the time being. As for whether to retaliate accordingly... It's not what we want to do for nothing or to be killed with a knife." Zhongya Zhongya folded his arms and thought alone. While waiting quietly.

"Let's talk if there is a call from the Supernatural Secret Service Division. The scene will be like this first. I'll go back to the building to see Akutagawa." She said this after pondering for a moment, and patted Izumi Jinghua who was quietly watching and studying: "Little Jinghua, Let's go." As she said, she reached into her pocket and silently crushed the wiretapping receiver in her pocket.

The situation at PortMafia's scene is enough for Osamu Dazai to understand. The Armed Detective Agency was suddenly approached by the Supernatural Secret Service?Oh, what a coincidence.

The detective agency on the other side, because [the liaison officers of the Supernatural Secret Service Division will all be present, bastard Dazai, how long are you going to fish for? ! Osamu Dazai, who was temporarily called to the Armed Detective Agency for this reason, rubbed his ears, silently took off the earphones in his ears, and rubbed his ears.

Nakaya crushes bugs every time, and customizing those small gadgets is also very expensive, he thought so helplessly, inadvertently looking at the young man in a suit and leather shoes sitting on the sofa for the detective agency visitors, and behind him Followed by accompanying guards.

The young investigator from the Supernatural Secret Service Division, surnamed Quanmingsi, was the son of the veteran of the Supernatural Secret Service Section who died yesterday, and also worked in the Supernatural Secret Service Section.

"My father's sudden death made me feel very sad. I saw him yesterday before he left, but how can we be separated from each other." Mr. Koizumi Mingji is a handsome man with a suit and leather shoes, only eyes The bloodshot eyes can prove that this person has not slept all night. He has not entered the society for a few years after leaving university, and his face still has a bookish look.

"My condolences to you." Kunikida Doppo, who was in charge of the reception, said sincerely.

"I know that Mr. Tantian made an exception and promoted me to be the investigator in charge of this case just because he considered my feelings." The investigator of Koizumi Mingji took a deep breath, as if to suppress those sad feelings: "In the Before that, I had already heard about the name of the Armed Detective Agency, so it was really helpless for me to intervene in the case suddenly, but the responsibility lies, after all, the Chief Farmer said that this incident..."

"It's understandable, the previous investigation report is here." Dazai Osamu's voice interjected, and he printed the last document from the printer Bianjiang and put it in the folder, "Since it is the victim's family, of course it will I want to personally track down the real culprit and comfort my relatives." He put the folder on the coffee table, and added with a smile: "In addition to paper documents, electronic reports and comparisons of blood samples collected at various sites, I will copy them all in U It's on the plate."

"Thank you very much, this...Mr. Dazai." The investigator of Koizumi Myoji Temple took the folder: "I have heard about your talent from the Secret Service Division, Mr. Dazai, and that Detective Edogawa," he said. Thank you politely, looking at the desk of the detective agency, Edogawa Ranpo ignored his words, the young man in detective uniform was concentrating on the accompanying crossword puzzle he got from the snacks, he always only Everyone in the detective agency knows that they are interested in certain things.

The young man who failed to get a response turned his head in embarrassment: "In short, I hope to continue to cooperate closely with the detective agency in the future, but this time, I am afraid that due to some reasons, I have to hand over the case to the military and police for follow-up cooperation. Got it." He said apologetically.

"I can understand. After all, it is likely to be related to an inner ghost. Everyone is unwilling to see such a thing." Osamu Dazai continued to follow his words obediently.

"Then, I'll be rude first..." After Kunikida escorted the group away from the Supernatural Secret Service Section, Edogawa Ranpo, who had finally finished the spelling game, slowly raised his head and looked at Osamu Dazai: "How about the new case?" He asked directly.

"There were two attacks and killings at the port today." Osamu Dazai gestured.

"Hey~ That's really too much of a coincidence, does the hat lady have to work overtime because of this?" Edogawa tilted his head in a random step, "Such an obvious way of diverting the trouble...is it so hasty? It's a bit strange " He said to himself, the condition for the activation of the blood ability was judged to be the contact of a close person, plus some urgency and omissions in the words of the investigator of the Koizumi Mingji Temple, he really did not expect the inner ghost To actually come to the detective agency in such a grandiose manner, but his acting skills can't fool the backbone of the detective agency.

"Who knows if the two cooperating people disagree?" Dazai Osamu said vaguely, the person who can know himself... Ango's mouth is not so leaky.

"Is it okay? Dazai-kun, the number of victims may continue to increase." Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes: "If there continue to be casualties, that's not acceptable." He can pretend to be stupid and cooperate with another smart person present. People act, but if it involves innocent people, Edogawa Rampo will not stand by and ignore, because that is what his guardian taught him to learn.

"There will be no more innocent victims, Mr. Ranpo, if the [hounds] among the military and police can't even do this, they are useless, but I just want to see if there is something else behind the guy doing this I think that the farming chief who came here also thought about it." Osamu Dazai said.According to his experience of working for the government for the past two years, the chief of the Supernatural Secret Service Section would not hesitate to sacrifice innocent people in order to maintain the stability of the overall situation. A person with a similar nature to Mr. Mori can control supernatural powers with an iron fist. The secret service department, of course, will not make cronyism. The only reason for sending this investigator is to put a long line to try to catch big fish.

"Ah, of course I trust the efficiency of Uncle Fukuchi's subordinates, but..." Edogawa Ranpo put down the snacks in his hands, "It's best not to do that handsome lady hat immediately." He reminded.

From the moment the investigator of Koizumi Myoji Temple entered the office, he had already seen the incongruity in the other party. The fact that he was appointed just after his father died was completely unreasonable. No matter how good the other party's acting skills were, he would still Edogawa ranpo saw the discordant parts of his body-such as the cautiousness hidden outside the sadness and the temptation inside and outside the words.In addition, the Armed Detective Agency has just given relevant inferences about the inner ghost, and PortMafia was attacked. It is not difficult to infer that the other party is also worried about being suspected, so he quickly came up with the idea of ​​​​attacking PortMafia and bringing the dark side of Yokohama into chaos. The idea-"If you are attacked, you must pay back twice." It is PortMafia's creed. If the Port Mafia finds and kills the attacker first, then he can quickly close the case and find a way to get rid of the suspicion on himself.

But with such a swift action, the possible counter-attackers against the blood abilities, apart from the same long-range abilities, is Zhongya Zhongyuan, who is said to be "one of the double blacks". This may be an opportunity to target the opponent In another bureau, Edogawa Ranpo reminded Osamu Dazai accordingly.

Osamu Dazai leaned against the window and watched the vehicles going downstairs, and said lightly: "Slug is not that stupid, she still has such a brain, what I am curious about now is, what kind of person can make up his mind to be a father and son Let's kill each other."

The person who commits crimes with a certain purpose is still in the Supernatural Secret Service Division. I am afraid that he is not the favorite of a well-meaning Russian-he wants to start the second game so soon?
