Unlike Kirako Haruno, who came to deliver documents and brought a pass from the customs building, Kunikida and Dazai arrived at the customs building halfway after discovering something was wrong during the investigation and evidence collection process. Similarly, they belong to the personnel who will be "forbidden to pass" by the guards.

Although I don't have a pass at hand, it is still a very simple matter to call some people in the customs building. After all, the detective agency has handled so many incidents where the government and military police are inconvenient to come forward. Quite well, there are still many people in the customs building who have been helped by detective agencies!

But if you do this, you will startle the snake.

So the two members of the detective agency took a little kitten who didn't know why they followed up in a daze, and found the emergency passage behind the building that was not guarded by the guards.

"It's locked..." His light-white slender fingers flipped the metal lock hanging at the gate of the emergency passage, Xiao Hachi turned around and said to Kunikida and Dazai who came over, "People who do this kind of thing are too much, if What should we do if there is a fire at this time!"

The two doors were locked with an iron cable as thick as her wrist, and the thick iron padlock was in the middle, hanging on the iron cable wound at least three times.

Kunikida's unique ability [Doubu Yinke] can materialize anything he has seen that is no larger than the size of a notebook, and the key is also inside, but it is impossible to know its internal structure just by looking at the shape of the keyhole, and naturally it cannot Make the corresponding key that can open the lock.

Under the premise of not wanting to alert the guards, another member of the detective agency is needed at this time.

"Oh? It's locked? Let me take a look!" Osamu Dazai came over with a smile, bent down next to Hachi, stretched out his fingers and gently fiddled with the iron padlock, "Well... Hachi has a belt Hairpins?"

His following Kunikida's unique address made Xiao Hachi's affection for him immediately increased by ten points: Anyone who didn't ask her full name and insisted on calling her surname politely is a good person!

"Ah, yes!" Xiaoba unzipped the zipper of the sun protection clothing, took off the decorated green leaf-shaped wire craft barrette directly from the neckline of the short T-shirt on the inside, and handed it to Osamu Dazai—her bangs were a bit long, It's not in the way at ordinary times, but it feels particularly intrusive when writing, so Xiaoba is used to pinning one or two hair clips on his clothes as decorations, and when necessary, he takes them off and puts his hair on.

"Can this be used?"

"Yes, but the coating on the outside may fall off after use." Dazai shook the green leaf-shaped iron wire craft hair clip, after all, it is used to pick the lock, and it is impossible without friction, "I will give this away Give it to me, and I'll buy you a new one later."

"That's not..." Xiao Ba was about to refuse when he heard a click.

Osamu Dazai pulled out the hairpin with a bit of coating peeled off from the keyhole, removed the iron chain wrapped several times around the handle, and opened the door.

Xiaoba: "...!!!"

Unlock the lock in one second!

Is this man a professional locksmith?

"It's the basic skills of a detective! Do you want to learn, Xiaoba? I can teach you!" The young man with iris-colored eyes smiled and moved his fingers. The hairpin fluttered between his fingers like a butterfly. Disappeared, and when he opened his hand, there was nothing in his hand—a magic trick.

Kunikida Doppo couldn't bear it anymore, he punched Osamu Dazai on the head with his fist: "The basic skills of a detective don't include this kind of thing - don't teach me such a mess!!!"

Even though he didn't have eyes behind him, Osamu Dazai tilted his head extremely flexibly. Kunikida Doppo's fist brushed his hair and emptied it. The young man took advantage of the situation and stood up, pushing open the door: "What, it's obviously very useful. You can't let Xiao Hachi encounter such a situation where you can't open the door, just like Kunikida, you break the door violently, right? Xiao Hachi is a girl, a girl who doesn't have much strength in her wrists, and doesn't have much strength bonus with special abilities!"

Kunikida was stunned for a moment: "Oh, yes, yes, girls really can't deal with this situation... No! Why did she pick the lock when she was fine!? Breaking into the house illegally!"

"Hey? What if Xiaoba is kidnapped and the prisoner locks her up, and when no one can rescue her in a while, wouldn't she have to rely on her to escape by herself?" Osamu Dazai walked ahead with his hands in his pockets, wearing a windbreaker. The hem fluttered under the effect of the corridor wind, "It's not a bad thing to learn one more skill, and the president won't object to Xiao Ba's ability to protect herself—otherwise, why would he arrange martial arts courses for her? Doesn't Kida know much about this? Girls are more vulnerable, so not only should you protect them, but also teach them how to protect themselves. Okay, write it down quickly, you must not write it down in your "ideal" notebook This, if Kunikida has a daughter in the future, he can refer to it more."

"Yes, yes, you are right..." Kunikida took out the notebook with "ideal" written on it, and took notes seriously.

"However, Kunikida may not be able to find an ideal woman who is willing to give birth to you in this life!" Dazai Osamu said in a tone that seemed to have just remembered something, "It seems useless to remember this!"

pat!

The chord of reason in the blond-haired youth broke, and he directly pinched the pen in his hand.

Xiao Hachi looked at the family teacher who was directly grabbing Mr. Dazai's collar and shaking angrily on the road ahead, and sighed faintly: Is this the ace investigator team of the detective agency?

It's obviously the ace cross talk group, right?

Unreliable adults.

The particularly mature little adult silently bypassed the (unilateral) quarrel between the two, walked in front, and reached the target floor first.

Fortunately, the door here was not locked.

"Speaking of which, what are Kunikida-sensei and Dazai-san looking for?" Taking advantage of the end of the two-person cross talk (Fog), Xiao Hachi quickly interjected to prevent them from quarreling again, and added a sentence at the end , "If it's not convenient to say, don't tell me."

She heard from Senior Xinyi that most of the detective agency's commissions are cases that the government and military police are inconvenient to deal with. If any confidential information is involved, she will not be surprised.

"It's not something that needs to be kept secret. What we are investigating now is a series of arson incidents." Kunikida has an advantage, that is, as long as his writing plan is not involved in his ideal plan of things, once the topic is diverted, he is very easy to read. It was easy to forget what was arguing and noisy just now, so when he heard Hachi's question, he immediately put down the idea of ​​beating up Dazai, and started talking to Hachi about the serial arson incident.

In the first case, the police thought it was an accident, because it was a firework festival, and a house in a certain corner caught fire, and it was extinguished in time without causing too much damage. Some fireworks wreckage was found at the scene, so the police used it to Fireworks festival personnel were ineffective in supervision, and the case of accidental fire was closed.

But then, in just one week, five consecutive places caught fire, and when they were handed over to the detective agency, the police had already confirmed that this was a series of arson incidents, and the culprit obviously had no signs of stopping!

"I have set fire to six places, and I haven't caught anyone yet..." Kunikida endured the impatience in his heart, and tried to calm his tone, "And as far as the clues we have obtained, the next time the prisoner is executed The place where the arson is committed will probably be a very grand and eye-catching place!"

I don't know if it's because no one walks through this passage, Xiao Ba, who has a keen sense of smell, smelled a bad smell, and was slightly frowning. Hearing this, he looked over: "Hey? What do you mean?"

"The place where the criminal committed the crime became bigger and bigger, from an inconspicuous log cabin at the fireworks festival at the beginning, and it was a remote fire place where no one was noticed when the fireworks were full, to Dandong Town at the time of the last arson The police station—the courage is getting stronger every time!” Kunikida was so angry when he said this, and it was after the police station was burned that the police handed over the case to the detective agency, “If we didn’t guess If he is wrong, the place where he will set fire next time must be more eye-catching than the police station!"

"It's even more eye-catching than the police station of the official violent organization..." Xiao Ba thought for a while, and asked uncertainly, "The five landmark buildings in Yokohama?"

When she came to Yokohama on the first day, she saw the five buildings, which were really eye-catching—because no matter which direction she looked from, she could see the five buildings.

The kind that is bound to be bombed in the theater version of the elementary school students who put the god of death.

Kunikida Dobubu: "..."

Osamu Dazai: "...Pfft!"

Xiaoba:?

Did she say something funny?

"Ahem," the young man with iris-colored eyes suppressed a smile and said, but there was still a hint of a smile in his throat: "No, I don't think the prisoner's courage is that big yet, and if he really If we put the target there... Ha ha ha, then what we need to worry about is not to arrest him and bring him to justice, but how to close the case when the murderer is missing."

...Where will the murderer disappear?

why?

Question marks floated above Xiao Ba's head.

But this option was rejected, and Xiao Ba was not discouraged, and continued to use his brain to think: "If the target is not the five buildings, and you want to attract attention..."

Suddenly, the image of the emergency exit door being locked suddenly popped into my mind.

There is always a very unpleasant smell after arriving on this floor.

Behind the light brown half-rimmed glasses, the clear green eyes suddenly magnified, and the girl with slightly curly black hair stopped in her tracks, her face pale: "The Customs Building!? The murderer's next target is the Customs Building! So he locked the emergency lock in advance. The gate of the passage blocked the way for people to evacuate when the fire broke out! And the bad smell in this floor...it's gasoline! He's going to set fire to it!"

——Because the sense of smell has been strengthened too much, Xiao Ba didn't recognize the smell of gasoline until now: if any kind of perfume is [-] times stronger, even the very familiar lemon scent, it will mutate into something that makes you A stench completely unrecognizable to humans.

Kunikida Doppo was stunned, but Dazai next to him immediately applauded with great applause: "Wow! That's amazing! All hit! I've only heard Kunikida's little information, so I can guess it. His mind is not inferior to that high school detective's!"

"No, compared to the new senior, I'm still worse... No, the point is this!" Almost being led into a wrong way of thinking, Xiao Ba became anxious, "There are still so many people in this building..."

If the other party sets fire, what a disaster it will cause!

——It is impossible for such a large building to have only one emergency exit. The one they came up had opened the door, but the others hadn't. And she didn't think that the frenzied prisoner would be so merciful that he only locked the emergency exit door!

Just thinking about that scene, Xiao Ba felt cold sweat dripping down his back.

"Snapped."

All the palpitations ended with the hand that suddenly slapped her shoulder, that hand seemed to have some magical power, smashing all the horrible pictures in her mind to pieces.

Xiaoba stared blankly at the hand that was patted on his shoulder, and then looked up at the bandaged hand, and saw the smiling face of the young man Qingjun: "...Mr. Dazai?"

"Don't worry." Osamu Dazai smiled and patted Hachi on the shoulder, "Aren't I and Kunikida still here?"

"Now that we've tracked it down here, there's no reason to give him another chance to continue committing crimes!" Kunikida, who had recovered from being surprised that Hachi realized the truth so quickly, pushed his glasses and said coldly, Being interrupted this time, he forgot that he wanted to teach his partner a lesson when he saw Dazai messing with the president's children.

"That's it!" The young man with iris eyes said with a smile.

Xiaoba nodded in a daze.

——It was very miraculous, the panic just now disappeared suddenly.

Is it because of Kunikida-sensei's determined tone, or...

"But Xiaoba actually smelled gasoline, I didn't smell it..." Dazai Osamu touched his chin, thought for a while, and asked, "Can Xiaoba smell the direction?"

Xiao Ba gave it a try, nodded: "Yes."

"In this case, Kunikida, you go find the murderer, Hachi and I will deal with the gasoline, and if there is still time, we will deal with the locks on the emergency passages - is it okay?" Osamu Dazai asked himself Partner's opinion.

Kunikida didn't say a word, just made a direct gesture to the received gesture, and quickly walked in another direction.

"Then, I'll follow Xiaoba!" After the blond-haired youth disappeared from the field of vision, the tone of the young man with kite-colored eyes suddenly became several times more lively, "Right, Xiaoba?"

I don't understand why Mr. Dazai's mood suddenly improved so much, but now that the matter is urgent, Xiao Ba didn't think about it, and nodded directly: "Well, the breath coming from this direction is the strongest, let's start from here! "

"Okay!" The young man said with a smile, "I listen to Xiao Ba."

——I don’t know if it’s her illusion, Xiaoba always feels that Mr. Dazai has something to say, but he can’t figure it out, so he has to suppress the doubts in his heart and walk quickly to lead the way.
