I live in Two-dimensional by sand sculptures

01.

"I did not come here to quarrel with you, sir, I thought we had come to seek some agreement.

Your current attitude makes me think about the need for our cooperation. After all, we want partners, not draggers.

Oh yes, opportunity, opportunity is everywhere these days, but opportunity and danger are always twin sisters, aren't they? "

After Kiyohiko spoke a long series of words to the person on the opposite side of the negotiating table, he whispered to Irie Masa who was standing beside him: "Look, isn't this passage very much like an interpreter's accent?"

Masaichi Irie: ...

Irie Masaichi's mood went up and down, and finally he said sadly: "Yes, my lord."

"I don't know when the Kanto horse betting will be decided by a young kid." The person sitting across the negotiating table obviously didn't agree, "Let A come here for me, or I want to talk to Mori Ogai himself."

"A can't make it through, but you can go down to see him." Qingyan smiled and said, "And I'm the reason why he can't make it through, what do you think of this reason? Seriously, you can be more civilized in your speech Some, after all, we are all cultural people, aren't we?"

The face of the person on the opposite side changed: "Culture? Are you talking about culture with me? I'm afraid you kid didn't even graduate from junior high school."

"Oh, then I'll let you see the culture of people you haven't met in middle school." Qing Yan stood up, and suddenly opened his mouth to spout a bunch of swear words without swear words. Various metaphors and anthropomorphic comparisons came one after another, and finally concluded: " The most humiliating moment for my Boss is when his name is pronounced by your stinking mouth!"

Disagreement at a word, flipped the table to fight.

The balcony faces the sea, and the white shutters match the seaside scenery very well.The balcony railings are decorated with European-style paintings outlined by black iron. Because of the wind, sun and rain, there are large areas of rust on them. It is best not to put your hands on them, otherwise they will get dirty.

The next second the railing was broken—to be precise, the corpse pierced by Rashomon was broken.

Qing Yan sat on the table and drank coffee slowly, recalling the details of the failed negotiation just now.

After the coffee was left, he said to Ryunosuke Akutagawa who killed the last person in the house: "You are taking the head again."

"At this time, it should be the black lizard." Ryunosuke Akutagawa put his hands in his pockets and said lightly.

"Okay, I won't engage in this kind of verbal dispute with you." Qing Yan said, "Although I know you can't speak against me, I still forgive you magnanimously."

In the next second, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's Rashomon cut the coffee cup in front of Kiyohiko into two pieces.

"That's why I finished my coffee early." Kiyohiko said to Irie Masaichi next to him.

Irie Masaichi: "Um, ah, okay."

Kiyohiko stood up, sighed as he looked at the corpses in the room, and sighed again when he passed the upright Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

They've been like this for a while.

It's not a sudden turn of events, but an inevitable choice.

The work that Kiyohiko is responsible for now is quite messy, including the work of Dazai Osamu, and some of A's work.

In addition, because of the previous relationship with Zhongyuan Zhongye, Qingyan also led a part of the Hong Kong gangster militant faction. Zhongyuan Zhongye's focus is mainly abroad, while Qingyan is at home.

After all, now that Qingyan's strength has reached the forefront of Hong Kong gangsters, he can actually become a force in charge.

This surprised Mori Ogai very much.

He intentionally trained Qing Yan, and the result of his intentional training was that he treated Qing Yan more severely than ordinary subordinates.

Kiyohiko feels good about this, after all, the cultivation of his boss can make him improve.

Qing Yan encountered quite a lot of troubles in his new position.

Apart from its own problems, the most serious problem is the friction with Ryunosuke Akutagawa.The two sides squeeze each other's living space, compete for power, compete with each other, and grow rapidly with each other.

So they gradually felt like happy friends.

Of course, their personal relationship is still very good, with a clear distinction between public and private.

Except that sometimes Kiyohiko couldn't help but want to poison Akutagawa (...).

And Akutagawa naturally patted him on the shoulder and forgave him—after Rashomon failed to cut off Kiyohiko's head.

Back to work.

Irie Masaichi is really a very good person, he is almost omnipotent, he works hard without complaint, and has a very good temper... In short, he is very suitable for Kiyohiko.

Originally, his status in Mirufiore was quite high, but now he came to Ganghei and became Qingyan's direct subordinate, and he was able to get started with various jobs very quickly.

Qing Yan was very satisfied with him.

02.

The street lights in the town are not very bright, they can only illuminate a small space under your feet, and the distance is still hazy, you have to use the moonlight and memory to distinguish the road.

Fortunately, most of the residential buildings have lights on, and most of the first floors of residential buildings are garages, in addition to cars, there are also some bicycles piled inside.The criss-crossing wires overhead and the sound of cars in the distance are all memories of the town.

"This time we're going to engage in [Double Lottery]... Is it crazy over there? [The position] is almost the same, and you have to pay attention to the basic law when you do it." Qing Yan said.

[Double lottery] is a term in horse racing, which means that the two horses that bet on will win the first and No.2 in the horse race, and the order of ranking must be specified.

[Position] means that the betting horse runs into the top three.

Irie Masaichi: "Ah, double lottery is indeed more troublesome, and it may be necessary to use supernatural means."

"Oh, you're thinking about predictions, even predictions are quite mentally handicapped..." Qingyan: "It's just the last time, it's not my responsibility, last time it happened that SJY took the lead last time, I was a little puzzled, but I didn’t say anything because I’m friendly with that side now, it’s too stupid for the people there to still win the double lottery this time.”

There is a gangster stronghold in this alley, and Qingyan is now in charge of that stronghold.

The members who occasionally pass by Hong Kong and Heizhen on the road did not salute Qingyan, but just nodded slightly. Some of them wore old-fashioned berets or various top hats. They would put their hands in front of the hat and press down slightly to show Respect to Kiyohiko.

Qingyan turned into a shop, and matched the signal with the boss (three-rare Boston steak, paired with flower-flavored red wine that had been chilled in the refrigerator for two days).

Then continue to walk inside with Irie Masaichi.

"Should I thank the other side for not asking for [Triple Lottery]? If you want me to continue doing this, Hong Kong and Black deserve to be stared at by the Supernatural Secret Service." Qing Yan said casually after finishing the code: "Does Xiaozheng like red wine? ?I kind of like Cabernet Sauvignon, although I think Riesling sounds better."

Irie Zhengyi stammered, "I like tea better." There are some things Kiyohiko can say, but he can't.

"The tea is pretty good." Qing Yan said, "My liking for red wine is also the result of Chuya talking to me all day long. When I told him that drinking dry red wine made me feel like I was drinking a rag, he almost gave me a rag. Yes, just kidding."

"Ah, uh, okay." Irie Masaichi said, "You and Master Zhongyuan are really an enviable couple." Qualified subordinates need to open their mouths to eat dog food with empathy.Qing Yan always speaks with a lot of information and is very jumpy, he really tried to follow, he really worked hard.

"Okay, then when you fall in love in the future, I will tell the other party that you want to be wiped." Qing Yan said.

Irie Masaichi: "Puff cough cough——"

Irie Masaichi: "Master Chiba, you are joking again."

"If you think I'm joking." Kiyohiko said this, and before Irie Masaichi's expression was completely distorted, he said nonchalantly: "Then let's talk about what happened just now, do you think such a decision is okay?"

"The specific implementation is not complicated. If Master Chiba is worried about the social impact, we can push a clean person to receive the award." Irie Masaichi said.

"It's not a matter of fooling people. If others fool us, we'll fool outsiders. It's not like that." Qingyan opened the wine cellar door, "So tell me, who made this stupid decision?"

Masaichi Irie: "Boss."

Qing Yan: "..."

"Then let's talk about how to fool outsiders."

Kiyohiko jumped into the wine cellar after dropping these words.

"Okay, as ordered." Irie Masaichi also jumped into the wine cellar.

There is a corridor under the wine cellar, which is a very lively stronghold.

Burning tobacco, messy drafts on the desk, horse racing posters hanging on the wall, rows of computers.

The department in charge of horse racing is an old department, and many old employees are more accustomed to writing on paper.

Qingyan walked to the electronic screen and looked at the densely packed text on it, squinting his eyes and said, "Change the odds to 1:3 for me."

"Okay, Lord Chiba." No one objected, although Kiyohiko was young, he had absolute authority here.

Because someone disobeyed him last time, he pushed that person out without hiding his face and let him receive a horse racing prize. Then, because of the information released by that person, he attracted all kinds of people who were watching, stealing, and defrauding him. , In the end, he took the initiative to go to jail, and it took two full months for Qingyan to fish him out.

"How about 'opera'?" Qing Yan asked, looking at the electronic screen with his arms crossed.

"It's an old favourite, so the odds are only 1:2." Irie Masaichi stood next to him with a tablet and said while flipping through the information.

"It's better than nothing... After all, you can't do too much." Qingyan said, "And next time, if it's an order from the boss, tell me from the beginning, otherwise I'll scold a lot, won't I look stupid."

Irie Masaichi: "Cough, okay."

After a few seconds, Irie Masaichi said: "But I remember last time even if I told Chiba-sama that this is the boss's order, the lord seemed to..."

Qingyan replied: "That's me polluting myself."

Irie Masaichi: "Pfft."

Irie Masaichi: "Okay."

The so-called self-pollution refers to the intentional creation of shortcomings for oneself, which is higher than the handle for the boss to hold, so that the boss feels that he is easy to control.

This behavior was common among ministers in the feudal period.Emperor-like suspicion, everyone has selfishness, it is normal for a courtier to want money, sex, power and reputation, if he doesn't want anything, it means he has ulterior motives.Therefore, smart courtiers would defile themselves to reassure the emperor, just like Xiao He deliberately embezzled later and let Liu Bang catch him.

But the word Kiyohiko used here is... quite funny.

It's not even sophistry, it just feels like it's purely funny.

"Also, you seemed to be complaining about me just now." Qing Yan said.

Irie shook his head resolutely: "No, no."

Just as Kiyohiko and Irie Masaichi were chatting nonsense, the door of the room over there opened, and someone poked his head out: "Master Chiba, I have your call."

"Oh, here we come." Kiyohiko responded, and led Irie Masaichi towards that side.

Irie Masaichi: "Why do I have your phone..."

"It's probably the boss who called." Qing Yan said, "Many of his styles are very old-fashioned, and he likes to use landlines. He also conveyed to his subordinates that he knows their movements like the back of their hands, so he made a threat."

"Uh, okay." Irie Masaichi naturally didn't dare to comment, he opened the door for Qing Yan, and when Qing Yan went in to answer the phone, he was guarding Qing Yan at the door.

He did these things very well.

"Well, I know about Boss, but I think maybe we should keep a low profile? Afraid? Of course not. As your subordinate, Boss, I am fearless—well, as you said, then I will stop flattering you.

But I need to report to you about Akutagawa, he is too popular now, I suggest you send him to Hokkaido for a while, after all, his face is too famous.And now that Hong Kong and black rabies frequently appear in newspapers, I don't think this is a good sign.

Well, I know, I am responsible, but I think it from the perspective of not wanting to kill innocent people, maybe he should learn more about the mind instead of killing, I have the same opinion as my predecessor Dazai . "

After Qing Yan became the quasi-five cadres, he first regulated the various behaviors of the militant faction. One of the express regulations was that he would never harm civilians, unless the civilians really threatened his own life; he could not harm the police and government officials if it was not necessary for the mission. , everything is based on peace.He thought the mafia's fangs should be directed at other beasts.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is restrained by this rule, but he is also very active. He used to uphold the view that 'killing all witnesses is a perfect infiltration', but now it is no longer possible, so his appearance has been leaked.

So Kiyohiko took this opportunity to propose sending him to Hokkaido.

In the final analysis, it was still Qingyan's strategy to kill two birds with one stone.Of course, his main concern was not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"Let's invite Akutagawa to dinner tonight and prepare to see him off." Qing Yan said cheerfully when he came out of the office.

Irie's eyes lit up: "Master Akutagawa is leaving Yokohama?" He knew that he and Kiyohiko were two grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Boss has almost promised me, as long as I make sure the horse race is done properly." Qing Yan said with high spirits.

"Okay." Irie Masaichi said, "So, what would Master Chiba want to eat tonight?"

Qingyan thought for a while, "Let's eat French food. I'll go with him after eating in advance. I'll order some cream bullfrogs for him."

Irie Masaichi: "...Master Akutagawa can eat milk and cream bullfrogs?"

This dish sounds terrible! Hey!

Qing Yan explained: "He looks very cold on the surface, but he is actually very polite, so he will eat."

Irie Masaichi: "...Hiss, okay."

Qing Yan said uncertainly: "Also make an appointment for me tonight, in case I get hurt by him, I can lie down directly."

Irie Masaichi: "Pfft...cough, I mean, um, my lord, you are really thoughtful."

03.

As a result, both Kiyohiko and Akutagawa Ryunosuke were hospitalized that night.

Akutagawa's injury was almost healed after three days, and Kiyohiko was healed the next day.

After getting out of bed, he didn't leave the hospital, but accompanied Akutagawa during these two days, singing him a lullaby beside Akutagawa's pillow.

……

Of course it is impossible.

Qingyan sang and rapped for him, and even rapped for him "I don't need to marry into a wealthy family, because I am a wealthy family" and practiced the violin all day beside him.

Kiyohiko doesn't know how to play the violin, not at all, so he has to practice.

...You can imagine how terrifying that sound is.

In the middle of the next night, Qingyan felt that Akutagawa might get out of bed, so he slipped away.

When Akutagawa was discharged from the hospital on the third day, the doctor was surprised to find that he had almost smashed the bed.

The first thing he did after he was discharged from the hospital was to hunt down Kiyohiko, and Kiyohiko went directly to Mori Ogai's office, and reported to him on various work, picked out skirts and women's clothes, and drank coffee together.

Mori Ogai kept smiling, a stiff smile.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke endured and endured, and finally turned around in front of the chief's office and left for Hokkaido.
