Cos Verlaine's I crossed

Ever since he pronounced that person's name, Lan Tang seemed to have found the hope of life, he swept away the gloom, and he actively completed his work, saving his rest time to investigate that person.

Mori Ogai was a little surprised by Lantang's abnormal behavior. According to previous intelligence, Lantang was a man who kept his own way and was excluded by the previous leader.He secretly increased his vigilance, any problems at this stage would bring him great trouble.

Mori Ogai recruited Osamu Dazai, who had nothing to do, and had to admit that the kid he took in often surprised him.

A clever accomplice who has nothing to do with interests and witnessed the death of the previous leader.

He wanted Osamu Dazai to make a judgment from the perspective of an outsider and find out the hidden dangers of the port mafia for him.

The boy who was about 15 years old slowly stepped into the chief's office. His white shirt and suit pants made him look very thin and fragile, lacking the chilling atmosphere of some mafia figures.

In a sense, the boy was not part of the port mafia.

——just a ghost kept in the world.

"Mr. Lantang?" Knowing Mori Ogai's intentions, Dazai Osamu recalled the Hong Kong and black quasi-cadres he had met a few times, and curled his lips, "Your subordinates know best, why ask me."

Mori Owai tolerated his childish side, and said calmly: "I currently control one-third of the organization, and there are still people from other factions targeting me everywhere. I can't let him be instigated."

Osamu Dazai said, "Where has he been recently?"

Mori Ogai put several photos on the table, "Cafe."

Osamu Dazai stepped forward to pick up the photo, his iris-colored eyes were deep, and he observed all the details in the photo.

"He's waiting for someone."

"Yes, but unfortunately we don't know who he is waiting for."

Mori Ogai told the truth, although his people did not dare to get close to Lantang to avoid being discovered, but they did not find out who Lantang was planning to meet after staying for a whole day.

Osamu Dazai had no evidence, and instinctively felt that Lan Tang was not the kind of person who would be easily instigated, "Did you ask the waiter in the coffee shop?"

Mori Ogai showed a strange smile: "Someone sent flowers."

Osamu Dazai instantly cheered up: "Rose!"

Mori Ogai nodded, put away his smirk, and said coldly: "I don't doubt Lantang-kun's position, but if someone uses beauty tricks against Lantang-kun, or uses flowers as a secret to make shady contacts, we will We have to guard against it."

The most terrifying thing in this world is the unknown and the change of people's hearts.

Mori Ogai understands the truth.

Osamu Dazai said dissatisfiedly: "There are too few clues, Mr. Mori, just tell what you know, don't hide it."

Mori Ogai said: "Another clue, Mr. Lantang has been going out frequently recently, and he is suspected to be investigating someone. The specific information is not clear. After all, he is an outstanding supernatural person in the organization. My people can't follow him at close range. .”

Investigate someone?

Osamu Dazai suddenly thought of the traces in the container, someone had spent the night on his own territory.

Osamu Dazai didn't know who the other party was, but Osamu Dazai felt that it was a prodigal son who lived in no fixed place, and he had a good impression of the other party, so he didn't settle accounts with the other party.

People who can't be found by Mr. Lan Tang obviously can't live in hotels, hotels and other places with great fanfare.

Osamu Dazai suppressed his thoughts: "Mr. Mori, if Mr. Rantang is only concentrating on dating, you are too funny."

There was sarcasm in Mori Ogai's eyes, love?No one who knew Lan Tang would think so. He was a person with supernatural power who was used to death. Before he was promoted to a quasi-cadre, he was infested in darkness, and there was absolutely no possibility of enjoying beautiful feelings in the sun.

Mori Ogai smiled and said, "I believe these clues are enough for Dazai-kun." He coaxed Dazai-kun, like an elder coaxing a younger generation to solve a puzzle game, "Help me see what Lan Tang Your loyalty."

Dazai Osamu said without thinking, "If I take off Mr. Rantang's scarf and earmuffs, can you guarantee that I won't be beaten?"

Mori Ogai: "...I can't."

Osamu Dazai looked at Mori Ogai with a bad expression.

Mori Ogai begged for mercy: "Lantang-kun is so afraid of the cold, you can use a more gentle method, not everyone will leave hickeys on their bodies."

Osamu Dazai said, "Okay, I want to see him."

Mori Ogai decisively agreed: "No problem."

Ten minutes later, Mori Ogai asked Lan Tang to come to report his work problems, and asked the other party under the guise of caring about his health.

"Mr. Lan Tang, have you considered letting Hua Guo's Chinese medicine treat you?"

"Thank you, Boss, for your concern. My chills have nothing to do with my nervous system. I simply like a warmer environment."

Lan Tang bowed his body to express his gratitude. The snow-white rabbit fur earmuffs did not compromise his elegance, but gave him a strange sense of harmlessness.

Rantang noticed Osamu Dazai staring at him curiously.

Osamu Dazai caught Mori Ogai off guard once again, and asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Rantang, what kind of woman do you like? Strong or weak?"

Lantang was stunned, and looked at Mori Ogai, who innocently shook his head, saying that he was not instigated.

Lan Tang hesitated to say his criteria for choosing a mate: "I like women who can make me feel warm."

A person's strength and weakness are secondary.

Important: keep warm!

Osamu Dazai pondered over Lan Tang's criteria for choosing a mate, and couldn't tell that Lan Tang was lying. Dazai Osamu smiled and clapped his hands: "I understand, next time I see a suitable person, I will recommend it to Mr. Lan Tang."

Lan Tang said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Dazai, for your kindness. Please allow me to refuse this kind of personal matter."

After Osamu Dazai met Lantang once, Mori Ogai asked Lantang to leave, and then Mori Ogai couldn't wait to listen to Osamu Dazai's analysis, and Osamu Dazai spoke nonsense seriously: "Mr. A single young man, it cannot be ruled out that he had a crush on some woman in the coffee shop, and he will never forget it."

Mori Ogai, who was also single at the same age and even older than Rantang, choked.

Mori Ogai said unwillingly, "That's all?"

Osamu Dazai said: "Mr. Lantang has no reason to betray you. Even if you kill you and replace him with someone else, it will be meaningless to Mr. Lantang who has already been loyal to you."

"He's already a quasi-cadre—" Osamu Dazai looked through the chief's office, as if he could see Lan Tang who was going down the elevator. The melancholy man with black hair and green eyes was very unique and withdrawn. Just cadres."

The promotion of a quasi-cadre to a cadre is one step away, and only depends on the accumulated credit and loyalty to the leader.

Lantang's limit in the port mafia is his status as a cadre, and he cannot be the leader. No organization in the organization is willing to accept a deserted Lantang who does not make friends with anyone to become the leader.

Outside the place where the two were talking, the subject of discussion was standing in the elevator behind the glass wall.

Rantang looked at the city of Yokohama outside the Port Mafia.

[I was suspected. 】

Once this thought arises, it cannot be removed.

Back in the office, Lan Tang rubbed his hands, put a thick and soft blanket on himself, and sat under the heater to dry himself.

"Is my behavior so obvious?" Lan Tang reflected on his unchanging life for many years. If he was as extravagant as other high-level executives, he probably wouldn't attract the attention of the leader.

"We must find a way to clear up the suspicion, even if it is shown to the leader - let the leader know my sincerity."

Lan Tang is well aware of the rules of the underworld.

In the following time, Lan Tang forced himself to forget the blond figure that haunted him in his dreams, and met a female colleague from the port mafia, and then met in the coffee shop, chatting, and drinking coffee.

He met several women one after another, and they were all flattered, and they came to meet with exquisite makeup.

In the eyes of female colleagues who work in clerical jobs in the port mafia, Lantang, a quasi-cadre, is undoubtedly a high-quality choice.Lan Tang acts in a low-key manner, has outstanding strength, and is accurate in team formation. He looks a bit haggard, but there is hope for recovery after raising him. If he gives birth to a mixed-race baby, he may be able to inherit the talent of Europeans.

Lan Tang used some self-introductions to successfully force them back.

"I'm afraid of the cold, can you accept turning on the heater all year round?"

"I don't have any summer clothes, and I don't dare to wear them. The thinnest clothes are the ones on my body. The shoes are always warm snow boots."

"Even pajamas, I like to wear thick ones."

"I never drink cold drinks or eat ice cream. I don't have many hobbies. I usually like to stay warm in front of the fireplace."

"My salary is very high, but I also like to spend money, so I don't have much savings..."

"I am very afraid of the cold, sweat a lot, and my body is weaker than ordinary people. There are still some differences from the locals..."

The expressions of the female colleagues were all stiff and they retreated.

Lan Tang took a sip of coffee, watched the hot air drifting in front of his eyes, and buried his face in the warm white mist.

"I really couldn't find a suitable partner."

He saw through reality.

How could there be a good woman like herself - such a weird man.

Suddenly, a figure sat down opposite.

Lan Tang looked at it with the idea of ​​surprise, but was disappointed, the man who came was not the man he most wanted to stimulate, but Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai dragged his chin: "Mr. Lantang, you can't do this. You have no sincerity at all. You are trying to drive those people away. Otherwise, I will introduce you to a better Miss Hongye?"

Lan Tang said softly: "You can tell her face to face, as long as you can come back alive, I will agree."

Ozaki Koye has a sweetheart, and once failed to elope, resulting in the execution of the sweetheart by the organization. This matter is not a secret in the organization, and after many years, many people still know it clearly.

Osamu Dazai looked around, and through the coffee shop, he could only see the continuous flow of people outside and a few sporadic foreign tourists.

After getting bored, Osamu Dazai asked the person who refused to tell the truth: "Mr. Lantang, is there really someone who makes you not afraid of the cold?"

Lan Tang's eyelashes trembled, as if stained with sorrowful ice and snow.

He was silent for a moment on the question.

"There will be."

After meeting that person, Lan Tang couldn't say anything against his will, because there were indeed people in this world who made him feel warm, and he saw the hope of spring blossoms.

Osamu Dazai said meaningfully: "Then I will reciprocate with anticipation and wait for such a person to appear..."

Lan Tang sighed: "Why do you test me? I have no relatives or friends. The organization is my home. Compared with the past, I am very satisfied with the life that does not require frequent killings."

During the reign of the former leader, Lan Tang's hands were covered with blood, and the strong smell could make Lan Tang feel sick.

Lantang stopped speaking, and let Osamu Dazai ruin his quiet afternoon tea time, and focus all his attention on coffee.

Osamu Dazai didn't catch Lan Tang's weakness, jumped off his seat, and was about to leave, but suddenly moved closer to Lan Tang's side and sniffed.

Then, Osamu Dazai asked mysteriously.

"Mr. Lantang, do you like pizza?"

"do not like."

"I think you can try the taste of pizza, maybe it will be the flavor you are interested in."

"???"

Lantang was puzzled and shivered from the cold. Osamu Dazai waved his hand and said goodbye, "I will go back and tell Mr. Mori that Mr. Lantang is still single, so don't worry about being tricked! Mr. Lantang, if you fall in love with someone at first sight Yes, let me know!"

Osamu Dazai, who went out with his back turned to Lantang, looked down at his phone, which showed Lantang's recent consumption expenditures.

"There is no sign of adopting a lover, but buying new clothes, carpets, books, art paintings, and carrying out daily maintenance on the villa, it is almost like waiting for someone to live in."

Mori-san, people in the dark world fall in love too.

Based on Lan Tang's out time, Osamu Dazai connected words such as coffee shop, rose, single and withdrawn youth, and chills together. The most likely suspect is——

love at first sight.

Lan Tang found someone who could make him feel warm.

Osamu Dazai further speculated, what kind of circumstances can make Lan Tang feel warm?

Good guy.

The two had probably slept together.
