(86)

It doesn't take much time to drive back to Yokohama from Tokyo.

But obviously, the busy Central Plains Zhongye needs to pay attention to more than just driving.

Relying on the power of gravity, she first snatched Osamu Dazai's cell phone to turn on the route navigation, and her cell phone floated in the air under the blessing of gravity in a blind spot where the monitoring and shooting could not be seen: Then——started to quarrel with the other side of the phone with the voice on At the same time, the ability to manipulate the phone buttons to send text messages, multi-line operation without mistakes, is obviously a repeat offender.

As for the reason why she is so busy, of course, it is the security company [Manhasset], which cooperates with the research institute of Sigma's subsidiary company for video surveillance and intelligent identification, as mentioned earlier by Chuya.

[Manhasset]'s chief engineer, Dr. T. J. Eckleberg, who almost independently completed the technical support of the intelligent identification system, was accused of killing a colleague of the same company more than a week ago.As a result, the cooperation between the research institute and the company unilaterally broke down. Although Sigma has been trying to negotiate with the other party, the president of the security company would rather compensate for the liquidated damages in the previous contract between the two parties than to monopolize the technology.

The engineer's murder accusation was tricky. Although the surveillance video on the spot testified that the other party was the murderer, as Dazai and Chuya had chatted earlier, technically, it is feasible to replace the human face by writing a code program, although there are many drawbacks.Use this as a breakthrough point.Sigma had already found the evidence after observing and collecting the corresponding information from the security company. However, before he further tried to negotiate with the engineer, he was preempted by others.

The first ones are the [combination] leader who fell from the white whale, the krypton gold warrior Fitzgerald, and Louisa Alcott who stayed in Yokohama to look for him.

The other party approached the real culprit president and had a private meeting with him, pretending that he was willing to exchange certificates and keep his mouth shut, but he needed to ask for a hush money.

However, in fact, Fitzgerald used this to obtain the recording of the other party’s confession, which he played on the spot in the court trial-the illegal recording cannot be used as direct evidence, but the leader of the self-made group from North America had the same intention not here.He just spread the rumor that "the chairman is the real murderer" in public, causing the stock price of the security company to plummet, thereby [buying short] the company's stock, and pocketing the company like a white wolf with empty hands, in this way In the form of violence, violence is generally used to achieve their own goals.

As for how it got involved with PortMafia, the answer is that Fitzgerald used PortMafia to buy the stock at a low price.

Fitzgerald himself had burned all his personal wealth in the previous [Moby Dick] battle. The reason why he survived the fall from the Moby Dick was because his wife voluntarily gave up at the last critical moment. The marriage of the two is no longer valid, and the wedding rings of the two can of course be consumed—that consumption worth 50 US dollars turned into a supernatural power made him survive by luck, but the surviving Fitzgerald One is poor and the other is white.

By obtaining financial assistance from PortMafia and then obtaining the company, Fitzgerald gave PortMafia a 20% stake in [Manhasset] - this return is not low, but the other party wants to poach the doctor and The practice of holding the [God's Eye] alone is unacceptable to PortMafia. For this reason, the Central Plains cadres quarreled with the leader of the [Group] on the phone unceremoniously.

From 20% of the holding shares to 30%, but still failed to get the follow-up development cooperation agreement of the [God's Eye] system.

For this answer, Zhong Yuanzhong also seemed very angry, but his expression was not so disappointed.

After all, the company has been developing that system all the time, and the two technologies are comparable. If Fitzgerald doesn't let go, it's just a matter of changing a partner.

"The acting skills are pretty good, and the goal has been achieved?" After the car stopped outside the traditional Japanese restaurant they frequented, Osamu Dazai, who was quiet and honest all the way, saw that she finally hung up the call and turned back to the person who had been watching the scenery outside the car window. line of sight.

"Isn't this exactly what you expected?" Zhong Yuanzhong said angrily, maybe because she was still subtly upset in her heart, she stretched out her hand to pinch his face, forcefully, and pulled——

It is not unexpected that Fitzgerald can focus on [Manhassett]. His subordinate Alcott's ability can make the inherent time pass at a speed of one eight thousandth, and he is very good at summarizing information and specifying operations plan, but the other party was able to find out that the president was the real culprit in such a short period of time, but it was cheating.

Alcott approached Edgar Allan Poe, who was once a member of the [combination], for help on the grounds that "this is a request from fellow cowards". The method of committing the crime and the perpetrator were found out very smoothly.

"Taking this opportunity to transfer the [God's Eye] to that [combination] leader in a logical way, isn't that good for you, Dazai Osamu?" Nakahara pinched Dazai Osamu's face and rubbed it. Zhong also declared her reason for punishing the other party in this way.

"Uh——it hurts, it hurts, it's true...but Chuya, you are doing this to avenge yourself!" Because it was indeed his own plan, Osamu Dazai didn't resist, he only protested vaguely.

"But you know the reason. [The Eye of God] can't be in the hands of PortMafia in anyone's hands, at least on the bright side." Waiting for Nakahara to let go, Osamu Dazai explained his behavior in this way while rubbing his face .

That technology has a wide range of uses and has too many tricks. If it is monopolized by PortMafia, many people will have trouble sleeping and eating. It is better to hand it over in exchange for some more practical benefits.

As far as the detective agency is concerned-why not do things that can make Edgar Allan Poe owe a favor, the other party's ability is very interesting.

Zhong Yuanzhong also understands the truth, otherwise she would not stop Sigma and choose to quit halfway - they also have the means to investigate the case to obtain answers, and they are extremely simple and rude, as long as Sigma gets in touch with the president's use of abilities on him, he can read all of them. the truth.

So this is an exchange of interests that both parties know well.

After getting out of the car, the two sat together in the dining booth.

Because it was noon, and I still had to work, Nakahara Nakaya only ordered a bottle of sake for Dazai, while she asked the female general for a drink. When she was looking at the menu and preparing to order, she could feel Dazai staying in the The gaze on her.

"Just say what you have to say, what are you staring at?" She looked up, and found Osamu Dazai propped his head on the other side of the table, staring at her, thinking about something.

"Hmm... because I'm curious, Chuya doesn't seem to ask me why I did this at all?" Osamu Dazai said slowly, although it was in a questioning tone, but you can tell from his smiling face that he must be idle Boring, so try to be like a cat, paw or two on her bottom line to see her reaction.

Cute and punchy.

"Can you be honest if I ask?" The previous matter has been wiped out in the midst of pinching face, and now Zhongyuanzhong is not in a bad mood.

"Oh, what you said is too outlandish~" Dazai Osamu said happily, his eyes were full of meaning, if there was a tail behind him, it would be like a wolf with a big tail, wagging it proudly, if you don't want it in the middle Try to ask to see" means.

But the opposite party was worse than him this time, "But I didn't ask." When the drink was served, Chuya raised his cup and took a sip, and immediately stopped back with a sentence, "Anyway, even if I ask you, this guy probably won't ask. Use some leftovers to prevaricate me, why don't I wait for you to continue preparing before the main course is served?" She smiled lowly, she just wanted to light a lady's cigarette and blow the smoke ring at the other party.

It is inevitable that Osamu Dazai is planning something, and Nakahara, as a partner, also has this prediction.

What's more, the other party hardly concealed anything from her this time—whether it was the skull belonging to Tatsuhiko Shibusawa that he kept in his study, or the pages that were taken away by Osamu Dazai; The "storm" that arrived in Yokohama even included his trip to Tokyo and the [God's Eye] that Fitzgerald got this time.

Osamu Dazai was gathering the necessary conditions to deal with the incident and scattered them all over Yokohama like puzzle pieces.

At the same time, Zhong Yuanzhong can also guess the reason why he has not shown up so far—according to the other party’s previous words, the enemy may have hints of tampering with the facts to cover up the truth. It is not difficult to guess, because there is a difference in information between the enemy and us. So it's not time to fully reveal.

That being the case, I might as well give him room to play - since that guy has always liked to be handsome in front of me.

"Anyway, I'm used to your secretive style of doing things, so no matter what you want to do, I will of course cooperate where you need my cooperation." Putting down the glass, Zhong Yuanzhong also said the same.

They are partners, trust each other, and some things don't need to be confirmed with words, it's a matter of course.

"Wow." After listening to her words, Dazai Osamu simply uttered the tone particle, was stunned for nearly ten seconds, and then muttered a little happily: "Chuya talks like a wife like that."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhong continued her second sentence without haste: "Anyway, you understand that if you do too much, it's a big deal to settle the score afterwards." The blue eyes narrowed slightly.She showed him a small tiger tooth and a dense smile, "I hope your body can withstand it by then."

Osamu Dazai: ...

Zhong Yuanzhong also admired the expression on his face that he froze in the middle of the journey, and then called the female general who was in charge of ordering: "Two sets of salt-roasted mackerel set meals, and a crab pot."

"Ok ma'am, is there anything else I need?"

"Any other mackerel dishes?"

"Today there is a new mackerel in the store, which can be made into sashimi and sushi. It is very fat and fresh."

"That's right, give me a copy."

Osamu Dazai, who is often called mackerel by her: ...

Good guy, salt-grilled mackerel, mackerel sashimi, mackerel hand-rolled sushi, this is a hint that he should be grilled with salt and peeled alive... Obviously still angry!

After eating a lunch that was too much to order, Nakahara Chuya put the bento box packed by the store into the freezer in the car, and accompanied Dazai Osamu to walk slowly along the road in Yokohama for a lunch break and digestion.

When they are not talking about business, the two of them also have no shortage of topics-it is time to change the pillow in the bedroom. The previous pillow has all kinds of bad marks for one reason or another. Thinking of it, Zhong Yezhong felt that everything was weird.

So why don't you just change all the sheets and quilts together, she talked to herself about her plan to break up, and then got Dazai Osamu's protest, "Oh, don't dogs like the smell of their master?", to some extent In fact, Osamu Dazai actually likes to be surrounded by all kinds of himself, which of course includes breath.

"Oh, it's a ghost if you like it, okay?"

"I can't bear it like this. Chuya still dreams of raising a dog. Then he will definitely not be able to bear the dog hair all over the room." Osamu Dazai complained to her in a low voice.

"Dogs are different from people...well, that's right! If I have a dog, I can endure and take care of everything~" Nakahara Nakahara is also full of confidence.She herself is considered a dog faction. The dozen or so dogs that she bought in order to contain Osamu Dazai have now become good helpers for the lower-level members of PortMafia. She is a good hand in assisting investigations and search and rescue, and occasionally in Yokohama. Fishing mackerel from the river.

In his free time, Chuya Nakahara himself would go to the dog's living room to play and tease - and then Osamu Dazai would find the dog hair on her body that he hadn't cleaned off in time, and then ruthlessly mocked her.

"Fufu, really? I don't believe it. Chuya obviously didn't want to adopt me last time, and even packed me up and threw me into the trash can." Osamu Dazai protested.

"...I'm fine and sick squatting in the waste cardboard box, obviously you have cat cakes yourself." Recalling the last time I saw someone squatting in the cardboard box and claiming to experience the life of a stray dog, Zhong Yuanzhong also looked pale—— The walking four-legged box monster can really scare her out of the psychological shadow.

"So, it's Chuya himself, Mr. Ye, who loves dragons~ Huhu, the little dwarf is a good dog~ It's all an illusion~" Dazai Osamu, who claims to be incompatible with dogs, announced loudly, making it hard not to wonder whether he is jealous in the void.

They were arguing meaninglessly while walking like this, when a "meow~" cat call suddenly came from not far away.

A long-haired black cat was squatting on the wall of the park where the two were approaching. The black long-haired cat was licking its fur and basking in the sun, lazily "meowing" at them.

"Huh? That's not..." It wasn't just meowing that attracted the two of them's attention, but a middle-aged white-haired man in a kimono walking from another path with a serious expression on his face.

——Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency.

Nakahara Chuya blinked, and wanted to speak, but Dazai stopped him first, and the other party smiled at her and made a "shh" gesture to her, motioning her to continue watching.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was also walking, walked up to the long-haired cat, and with a serious face, he took out a small dried fish from his pocket.

Nakahara Chuya: Ah, it seems that Ms. Akiko said that their president is...

The cat that was licking its fur condescendingly stopped, glanced at the little fish in Fukuzawa Yukichi's hand, but didn't seem to like it, so it turned around slowly, facing the other with its buttocks, Continue to lick fur.

Fukuzawa Yukichi: Qiang Zuo calmly took back the dried fish.

The scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.

Nakahara Chuya: Pfft...

So it really is the cat ignoring it?
