As a fan of mystery novels, Xiao Hachi is no stranger to this name—ah, to be precise, in his previous life, the name Oguri Chongtaro is no stranger to any reader who likes Japanese mystery novels.

Japan's four great books on reasoning, "Brain Hell" by Yumeno Kusaku, "The Murder in the Black Death Hall" by Oguri Kotaro, "The Offering to Nothingness" by Nakai Hideo, and "Lost Joy in the Box" by Takemoto Kenji— —Then this Mr. Koguri Kotaro lived up to expectations and went out of business in this world where there are not many writers writing...

Xiao Hachi has a strong urge to pull Xiaoguri Chongtaro out and press his head to make him kneel in front of the desk: Look at your friend, Mr. Henggou!Pick up your pen and write "The Murder in the Black Death Hall" for me! ! !

Calm, calm, it’s just the same name, the same name, you can’t entrust the talent and achievements of Mr. Oguri Chongtaro to a person with the same name. This is not only a disrespect for the former, but also a disregard for the independent existence of the latter. Like the leader of the underground thieves group... After silently admonishing himself several times in his heart, Xiao Ba asked: "Mr. Henggou, you just said that his powers will attract people's covetousness? Can you tell me what's going on? If not If you want to reveal the specific content, you can also roughly talk about your guess." Considering that some people don't like to be known about their abilities, Xiao Ba added.

"I don't know the specifics. He didn't use his ability in front of me. He just said something similar before and after his disappearance that his ability was exciting." Henggou Masashi said.

Exciting?Could it be a psychic ability like brainwashing or control? If it is such a taboo ability, it is no wonder that it has never been used in front of people... Xiao Ba thought: "In the eyes of Mr. Henggou, his ability Is the information leak a recent thing?” If the ability information was leaked recently, it attracted people who coveted it, and based on the time of Oguri Koutaro’s disappearance and the bugs in the ward, it seems that it can be judged that either Oguri Koutaro He hid himself, or he had already been captured by some force, and the one who installed the bug at Teacher Henggou was another organization that coveted the power of Koguri Chongtaro, trying to get information related to Koguri Chongtaro from Mr. Henggou. intelligence……

This time Henggou Zhengshi was silent for a while before he said, "No, I don't think it's recent."

"... What's going on specifically, can Mr. Henggou talk about it?"

Masashi Henggou nodded, lost in memory, and said slowly after a while: "It should have been a long time ago, but I didn't notice it at that time... I grew up with Chongtaro Friends, I like mystery novels. I like to read and write them. Setting up secret rooms is the part I like and am good at. Whenever I finish writing a part, I will show it to him. It’s too delusional, after all, there are not so many pre-set puzzles for detectives to solve in reality—so Ah Chong has never liked detective novels.”

Henggou Masashi laughed as he said that.

Oguri Kotaro, who doesn't like detective novels, has this magical sense of inversion... Xiaoba listened silently, she understood that Masashi Hengmizo didn't need anyone to respond to him now, he just wanted to tell something.

"... Later, after graduating, I continued to create, but Achong no longer came to me often. It seemed that he would come to discuss the plot with me and try to give me creative inspiration when I was really rushing to write. It’s been several years ago... and since then, he is no longer like before. I can see him anytime when I turn my head... Recently Ah Chong’s appearance has changed a lot. He told me yes Special plastic surgery, but why did he have plastic surgery for nothing..."

"Besides, he only shows up now and then." Henggou Masashi said in a daze, "According to Ah Chong's character, he should be belittling what I wrote while staring at the first time to see it...why? I didn't discover this earlier..." He felt regret: If he could have noticed Ah Chong's violation earlier, wouldn't it be possible to save Ah Chong?

Xiaoba was startled: Mr. Henggou, what do you mean, Koguri Soutaro has long been controlled by some forces, and he only has limited freedom to create the illusion of "he's fine" in his circle of relatives and friends? !

If it was an ordinary criminal gang, would they do such a thing?Shouldn't Koguri Chongtaro be directly controlled, and let him have a short period of freedom in order to better control him?This is not something that ordinary short-sighted criminal organizations can do...

Moreover, there is also the supernatural ability of Oguri Chongtaro.

According to the abilities of several writers she knows, Mr. Dazai is "No Longer in the World", which corresponds to his most famous work "No Longer in the World"; The first sentence of the opening chapter of "Encouraging Learning": "Heaven above man does not create man, and heaven below man does not create man"... Oguri Kotarou's supernatural power will never be [Murder in the Black Death Pavilion], right? !

This doesn't sound like a superpower!

Moreover, because he is a mystery novelist, the names of most of his works cannot be used as the names of supernatural powers. The only book that Xiao Ba can think of that can be related to supernatural powers is the book "Evil Spirit"-but with such a No matter how you look at it, the supernatural ability of this name can't echo his identity as a mystery novelist...

If it is not the most famous work, it should also be the name of a work that is of great significance to a writer. Since it is not the representative work "The Murder in the Black Death Hall", could it be! ?

Thinking of something, Xiao Ba's eyes narrowed slightly.

After bidding farewell to Henggou Zhengshi, as soon as Xiao Bayi walked out of the hospital, he took out his mobile phone and called Dajue Guochang Road: "Old man."

"What's the matter?" Dajue on Guochang Road was processing paperwork. Xiaoba's caller ID was displayed on the screen on one side. The profile picture was the abyss cat with different pupils, which represented the identity of the caller. The speaker and microphone on the side served as the dialogue between the two. The radio and loudspeaker functions needed in the room.

"In recent years in Japan, has the incidence of suspenseful cases that have not been solved so far increased significantly?"

The adjective used by Xiao Ba is "significant", because under normal circumstances, the incidence of major and important cases will always fluctuate within a certain range.

After all, no one can confirm which snake spirit will get sick and cause trouble one day.

The Gold King paused holding the writing brush: "You should ask the Green King about this kind of thing, and you should be clearer."

"That's it, I understand." Xiao Ba said and hung up the phone.

question was avoided.

she thought calmly.

I really don't want the truth to be what she thinks it is.

It will be impossible to investigate the truth for a while, but if you are looking for Oguri Chuutaro, you don’t need to know the whole truth——Before leaving, I asked Mr. Hengmizo Masashi for the address of Oguri Chuutaro’s home, the abyss cat with different pupils The cat reappeared, nimbly and nimbly crawling into the wall of Oguri's house.

Facing the locked back door, Hachimao, who took advantage of the night, huddled by the door lock in a camouflaged shadow with the help of his natural invisible fur.

The doors and windows are closed... But this is not a problem for Xiaobamao!

The sharp and sharp cat's claws popped out from the meat pad, and carefully inserted into the lock hole. Soon, there was a very light "click" sound of the lock tongue popping out.

I don't know why the cat claws of such a kitten are so long...

The door opened, Hachimao put away his paws in satisfaction, and walked into Oguri Chongtaro's house with elegant cat steps.

This home is not very popular, but it is clean. It is probably because Koguri Koutaro pretended that he had nothing to do and would come out to accompany Henggou Masashi to clean his home.

Xiao Ba sniffed, and ran to the second floor a few times, and found the study room of this house.

According to Mr. Henggou, his friend Achong likes to read books on occultism. If there is any smell left in this room that has not been swept away, it seems to be the only one he has used. Pen and paper and the books I have read.

After recording the breath of Koguri Chongtaro in the study, Hachi walked out of the house and stood at the highest point.

The cat's sense of smell is very strong, but after several months passed, she couldn't find the scent left by Koguri Futaro in the noisy streets.

But, that's for normal cats.

For monsters, especially cats, which are always associated with resentment or gratitude in myths and legends, "breath" does not just refer to odor molecules.

The so-called "breath" of monsters is a more mysterious and unique feeling of existence for each person. If you want Xiaoba to describe it, it is probably like the spiritual power of each person in "Yu Yu Hakusho". In BLEACH, everyone can use Reiatsu to judge who it is from a distance.

For Xiaoba, "breath" is such a thing. In her telepathic world, different people have different breaths:

The breaths of Yukichi-san, Dazai-san, Ranpo-san and Kunikida-sensei from the southwest, and the breaths of Fushimi-san and Munakata-sensei from the northwest...

That direction is the residence of Scepter4, right?

The psychic induction continued to expand, and more auras were accommodated, but there was no aura in her memory and that of Koguri Chuutaro, until the range of mental power expansion covered Yokohama—this aura, and the one left in Oguri Chuutaro's house The breath is consistent!

Came from the ground!

The black cat suddenly opened its eyes, the pupils of different colors shone brightly, and the vertical pupils narrowed into a line, showing how excited the owner of these eyes was at the moment.

found it!

The black cat jumped off the roof. Strangely, under the moonlight, the black cat that jumped off the roof disappeared strangely in mid-air!

In the next second, the black cat appeared in the tunnel hole made of stone walls.

As soon as the servant fell to the ground, it smelled a pungent smell of blood. Two corpses were lying at the door. Blood flowed from their heads. It seemed that they had suffered an attack on the head and died.

"...Then, the deal is concluded, welcome to join the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man'." Fyodor Dostoevsky responded to a series of requests made by Koguri Kotaro, but then, he felt something No, turn your head and look behind you.

At some point, a black cat appeared there.

Dostoevsky opened his eyes slightly.

He can confirm that, 1 minute ago, there was no breath of any living creature behind him—the living creatures along the way were all sent to heaven or hell by [Sin and Punishment].

How did Katyusha appear?

Could it be that...so that's the case, no wonder she crossed the border all the way to Russia when she ran away from home.

... Was it an unconscious use of a skill like "space jump"?

Xiao Ba didn't know what the surprised young man was thinking, she was just thinking about a question:

This guy said that Koguri Chongtaro is welcome to join the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man", which means that he is also a member of "Five Decays of Heaven and Man". If I remember correctly, the clown Gogol is also a member of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man... One of the things that Mikhailovich Dostoevsky and Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol Yanovsky had in common was the involuntary passive pigeon spirit...

If I remember correctly, Koguri Kotaro was also an involuntary passive pigeon spirit—he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at the beginning of "Evil Spirit"...

——Is this "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" a gathering of pigeon spirits! ?

The author says:

Dear angels who buy stocks, please allow me to popularize two small knowledge here:

1. In the book "Idiot" (Author: Dostoyevsky), the male second described Russian women's view of love in this way: I torture him now, and I will compensate him with my love later.

2. The legal age of marriage in Russia is 14 years old.
