Bandage fine tricks

By the time Osamu Dazai came out from the Port Mafia, it was already late at night.

He thought about it, and instead of going home, he went to a detective agency.

The reddish-brown building stood here in the night, and the sound of the elevator running sounded in the silence until it made a "ding dong" sound when it reached the target floor.

Well, Kunikida-kun would find it incredible that he came to the detective agency during non-working hours, right?

He muttered in his heart, opened the door, and pressed the switch beside the door.

"Dazai." The door of the president's office opened, and a yellowish light poured out. The tall, silver-haired man came out and said.

"President, you are here." Osamu Dazai let go of the switch, gave up the plan to turn on the lights in the work area, and walked over, "Didn't you go back? Hachi just had such a big accident, I thought The president won't let her stay at home alone."

"She fell asleep in the bed next door, and Xie Ye was with her." Fukuzawa Yukichi said, "I think it would be better for someone to sleep with her tonight."

[Please Don’t Die] can repair physical wounds, but can’t repair spiritual loopholes. As a male elder, he is really not suitable to be by Xiaoba’s side, so he has to ask Ms. Yosano Akiko from the detective agency to accompany him.

"That's right." Dazai Osamu followed Fukuzawa Yukichi into the president's room with his original expression on his face, and was a little surprised to find that he was not the only one in the president's room.

Akashi Seishomi, and his son Akashi Seijuro.

The organizer of tonight's banquet is sitting on the reception chair in the president's room, holding a teacup, as if sipping tea.

It's just that judging from the fact that the tea in his hand has lost much heat but still hasn't been reduced in the slightest, he doesn't have much interest in drinking tea.

Seeing Osamu Dazai walking in, he put down the teacup in his hand and looked over with his son.

"How's the situation?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked, he noticed Osamu Dazai dragged a person away at the scene, and went to the direction of the Port Mafia, considering the impact of this incident on the Port Mafia and his member Trust, he didn't say anything at the time, just waiting in the detective agency.

After all, at dawn, Dazai will come to work, so just ask about it.

Unexpectedly, before the members came back, Akashi and his son came first, and the reason for the fight was very legitimate: to visit Xiaoba.

Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't expect how to refuse, and Akashi Masomi just stayed in his office shamelessly. Maybe that child Seijuro was still young and hadn't learned the shamelessness of adults, but he really wanted to see the children Ba's - but why would he let a boy see Xiao Ba who was asleep in the middle of the night?

The final compromise was that all three of them stayed in the president's office.

"Since Akashi-kun is here, it saves me the trouble of looking for it again." Although Dazai Osamu accidentally saw Akashi Seijuro here, he accepted it quickly.

Instead, Akashi Seijuro was a little puzzled: "Sir, do you need me for something?"

"Well, I noticed that when I was at the scene, Xiaoba didn't wear shoes on her feet-if she lost her shoes because of the attack, her high heels should be near her, but I saw it, and at that time She had no shoes nearby, meaning she kicked off her inconvenient high heels before she ran into the corner. It's not like an option that someone unprepared for an attack would make, so I'm guessing Well, before the attack came, Xiao Ba had already learned about the attack from a certain channel or some clues. For this reason, she kicked off her shoes in advance to ensure that she was agile enough to move.

"In addition, I also asked the survivors at the scene and learned that about four or five seconds before the attack came, they heard a girl shouting that it was dangerous here and told them to leave quickly, but because the attack came later Well, the warning didn’t have much effect—I guess, it’s Xiaoba’s voice.” Osamu Dazai shared his analysis one by one, “The problem now is——

"What did she see that would make her sure that there would be an attack?"

Seijuro Akashi looked at the young man with fluffy black hair with his different eyes. After two seconds, he said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what she saw. When the attack came, I was waiting in the lobby waiting area. When Ba came out of the recording room and saw her again, it was when the attack was about to come, and I knew no more about this than anyone else in the hall at that time."

"In other words, after the attack, when you were crushed under the ruins, you knew more things?" Osamu Dazai accurately grasped the loophole in Akashi Seijuro's language.

Akashi Seijuro was silent, and after a while, his voice was a little softer: "Xiao Hachi...she didn't seem to intend to tell me at first, if I'm not mistaken, she thought that if I found out, I would be punished." Involved in danger, but she needed someone to pass on what she knew, so later on..."

When she felt that she was going to be unable to hold on, she chose to tell Akashi Seijuro what she knew - Osamu Dazai tried to relax his fingers, control his facial expressions, and not show too scary a look: "She said What?"

Akashi Seijuro recalled it again, recounting the conversation between the two at that time, and finally said: "...That's it. At the end, due to excessive blood loss, her consciousness was a little unclear. At that time, what she said was intermittent and There are not many regulations, and most of them are referring to my father and Mr. Yukichi. I guess at that time she probably meant to let me go to my father or Mr. Yukichi after I survived."

"Isn't it the Fuchun Cubezi that is special, but the medicine used to poison it?" Fukuzawa Yukichi pondered, because the medicine is very precious?No, if it's precious, it won't be taken out...

What's more, he really can't think of anything special about a drug used to poison and kill people. It can make that organization do whatever it takes. part.

——But from the side view, this also means that the medicine is special enough that it can afford these costs.

"How about Fuchun Cangzi?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked: Seijuro's kid didn't see the reason why Hachi gave the warning. Fortunately, they still have another clue to explore.

"To be honest, I didn't find out much." Osamu Dazai took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Fukuzawa Yukichi. It was the information he obtained from the torture of Fuchun Cangzi before, and the same other document had already been given to him. Nakahara Chuya, the latter has probably been handed over to Mori Ogai at this moment, "A low-level person who doesn't even have a code name, I guess she was able to join that organization, largely because of her experience-she is When Mrs. Ooka was a classmate when she was young, the relationship at that time was not close. After Fuchun Cangzi joined the organization, she had a "chance encounter" with Mrs. Ooka again under the contact of the organization, and thus developed a close enough relationship. In this way, she can have close contact with Mrs. Ooka, so that the organization can carry out the assassination plan."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked down at the documents in his hand. Dazai said that he had no information, but in fact he tortured him a lot. The assassination plan to be carried out at this banquet is the most detailed:

For example, how to pinpoint the connection loopholes between the Akashika transportation company and the dessert shop at the banquet, and implement companion information; how to confirm that the cake has been delivered to the self-service dining table in the rest area without carrying a communication device Yes - the serving time of the self-service dining table is determined according to the speed of the guests. If there are many people eating, the serving time is fast, but few people are taking the food, and the replenishment is slow. It is not predetermined when the serving time will be served What kind of food; after getting it, how to destroy the evidence, so as not to let the cherries and cocktail plates with residual liquor fall into the hands of the police...

Without Xiao Baheng's intervention, the assassination of Mrs. Ooka would have been difficult to fail with the meticulous plan explained by Fuchun Cangzi.

Of course, Osamu Dazai didn't care whether this matter was a success or a failure. He tortured him in such detail just to extract clues related to that organization: "Judging from the situation explained by Fuchun Cangzi, at the banquet at that time She should be assisted by at least two members of the organization.

"One should be a person who can walk around at the banquet at will, pay attention to the situation of all parties without arousing suspicion, and the other should be the 'command tower' who controls the overall situation, ensures that omissions can be plugged in time, or that the evacuation can be notified in time if things are irreparable '——For the former, I guess it should be the waiter at the banquet. As for the latter, there is a high probability that it is a certain guest at the banquet. Maybe he hid in a certain rest area to check the situation after the banquet started. Well, Considering the view, that person should be on the balcony on the second floor... I remember that there are two balconies in the banquet hall with very good views, and you can see the entire hall including the garden."

waiter?balcony?

Akashi Seijuro was slightly startled.

"It seems that Master Akashi has discovered something?" Dazai Osamu keenly noticed the change in the expression of the red-haired boy, and asked with a smile.

"Seijuro?" Akashi Seitomo looked at his son, motioning him to speak up if he thought of something wrong.

"I don't know if this counts or not," Akashi Seijuro nodded, and organized his words, "We will go to the second floor at first, and Hachi said she wanted to go to a balcony on the second floor to stay for a while."

Xiaoba?

Osamu Dazai thought of something, took a blank piece of paper from the president's desk, drew the floor plan of the banquet hall, and marked the locations of the five balconies on the second floor: "Which balcony does Hachi want to go to?"

Corresponding to his memory, Akashi Seijuro clicked on one of the balconies: "Here."

"You can take a look at the entire banquet situation, including the location of the garden." Dazai Osamu chuckled, "When you went over, there was already someone there, right?"

"Yes, on the way to that balcony, we met a waiter who was walking back after delivering drinks. Both Xiaoba and I realized that someone was already at the original destination, so Xiaoba made a compromise. Another balcony." Akashi Seijuro reached out and nodded on the balcony where they landed later.

"The location is not as good as the previous one, but the advantage is that you can observe the situation on the previous balcony." Osamu Dazai commented, Xiao Hachi's keenness can really be said to be innate.

Clearly nothing has happened yet...

"Do you still remember the appearance of that waiter?" Osamu Dazai asked, but he denied himself as soon as the words came out, "Forget it, there is no need, since Belmode appeared at the banquet, the waiter probably didn't use his real face .”

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at his subordinates: "Do you suspect that the waiter is the candidate you speculated before?"

"Yes, the waiter can appear in any corner of the banquet without arousing suspicion. If the 'commanding tower' on the second floor wants to pass on the order, it needs manpower. It is very good and legitimate for the waiter to deliver drinks. A means of doubt." Osamu Dazai explained.

The waiter?Akashi Seijuro blurted out: "But he also gave Hachi a drink!" Under the eyes of Fukuzawa Yukichi and Dazai Osamu who looked at them at the same time, he recalled the situation at that time and repeated, "Because we didn't call Waiter, so he felt weird when he knocked on the door, and then he put a glass of milk in front of Xiaoba, and told her who delivered it—by the way, Xiaoba was going to go downstairs to find Mr. Yuji after hearing this , and then hit the homicide."

"Who sent it?" This time it was Akashi Masami who asked, this kind of behavior is really a bit frivolous, even if it is milk, it can't cover up its essence.

"'It was given to you by a gentleman drinking Scotch whisky.' That's what the waiter said." Akashi Seijuro repeated verbatim, "Xiao Hachi seemed to understand the meaning of the waiter at the time. , I will come to find Mr. Yuji later, but we passed the self-service pick-up counter on the way..."

They will know what happened after that.

"Does Mr. Dazai know what this sentence means?"

"It's very simple, let her go home early and don't stay at the banquet." The person who was called closed his eyes.

Scotch, that's the code name for the group's defectors.

Hey, wait a minute, the voice just now...

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes suddenly, and turned to look at the door.

After changing the hospital gown—there is no pajamas in the detective agency, so I can only use the hospital gown to deal with it—the girl with black hair and different pupils stood at the door, with Yosano Akiko behind her, and said helplessly: "She heard the sound and fell asleep. No, come and have a look."

"Xiaoba?" Osamu Dazai was really surprised this time: he guessed that the president would not rest assured that Xiaoba would be alone tonight, and would definitely find someone to accompany her. Except for ordinary clerks who are inconvenient to call back home, only Ms. Yosano Akiko can take on this task.The president has a strict personality, and he will not let single women go to his house in the middle of the night. Considering the possible second attack, then the biggest possibility is that he will bring Xiao Hachi to the detective agency, and trouble with Ms. Yosano Akiko Sleep with Xiaoba in the infirmary of the detective agency.

——That's why he didn't go home, but came directly to the detective agency.

If you are lucky, you can still see Xiao Ba!

But he didn't expect Xiao Ba to wake up.

"Mr. Dazai knows what 'Scotch whiskey' stands for, doesn't he?" Hachi stared into Dazai's eyes and said.

"...Sorry, it's not that I want to hide it," Dazai Osamu said with a wry smile, "In fact, I don't know much about the situation at the time, the only thing I can tell you is that if I'm not mistaken, the whole meaning of this sentence should be 'There are people at this party who saw you in the scotch defection, get out of here and go to safety' - anyway, from this point of view, the waiter's position is more serious than I thought Fuzzy."

Even though he was a member of that organization, he would secretly warn him for Hachi's safety... Osamu Dazai felt very uncomfortable just thinking about the possibility of the other party doing this.

It feels like someone is stealing his corner o(￣ヘ￣o#) without knowing it.

"Scotland's defection incident?" Xiao Ba was really at a loss this time, "What is that?"

——Was I so awesome in the past? !He was actually involved in the defection of the winery!

No, I'm only 14 now!

...Oh my god, could it be that I was like 007 James Bond when I didn't lose my memory!

Considering the age and gender, you can add a prefix of "Genius Agent Girl", and add some characters to make it a light novel title!

Hey, why don't we write about this topic?

Xiao Ba's thoughts wandered off to the content of her next book in a second. Fortunately, before she started thinking about the character design of the protagonist, she pulled back her thoughts of running away in time: "Did he admit the wrong person?"

Whether it's the family situation or various clues, everything shows that she is just a middle school girl who grew up in an ordinary way without any special experience. How could the defection of the winery in Scotland have something to do with her?

Or is it also possible that she happened to witness the event while passing by?

But if he just witnessed it by accident, why did Mr. Amuro, who is an undercover member of the winery, risk exposure to warn himself?

Obviously his own safety is more important...

"Who knows!" Osamu Dazai shrugged and said vaguely, "Maybe he just identified the wrong person."

——Better admit your mistake!Don't come looking for Xiaoba!

"Anyway, Xiaoba, let's go to rest first, it's already very late!"

However, the black-haired girl who took off her contact lenses and revealed different pupils did not agree: "Didn't I just ask Akashi-kun why I guessed that there was an attack? Why didn't you just ask me?" Akashi-kun you know?

It's fine if she fell asleep just now, but now that everyone is awake, don't ask...

Xiao Ba stared at several adults—especially a certain black-haired leader—and vaguely guessed what they were thinking.

"Hmm..." Osamu Dazai tried to fool him, but he couldn't, so he could only raise his hands in surrender, "...Well, I'm afraid that Hachi will feel uncomfortable when he recalls the situation at that time! Hachi is still a child, how can he force it? How about cute little Hachi recalling such a painful thing?"

He couldn't find out what was wrong earlier, he couldn't issue a warning earlier, he couldn't let the people in the police station escape, and he couldn't save more people... He knew how guilty and self-blaming that child would be, because of this , He didn't want to ask, he would rather deduce the answer by himself from the extremely small possibility and the seemingly irrelevant clues from others.

Xiao Ba: "..." That's what I guessed!

——But because of this, it made me even angrier...

"Akashi-kun is about the same age as me, how can Dazai-san let Akashi-kun recall what happened before?"

This Osamu Dazai felt that he had a very legitimate reason: "Akashi-kun is a boy! It's okay for a boy to suffer a little bit! This is a legitimate temper! In the future, he will take care of the entire Akashi consortium. How can we make it through!" He said very confidently.

What made Hachi even more unhappy was that Mr. Fukuzawa Yukichi and Mr. Akashi-kun's father, Mr. Akashi Masomi, who was next to him, nodded in agreement.

Even Akashi Seijuro himself felt very normal.

"Heh, man." Dr. Xie Ye expressed Xiao Ba's heartfelt feelings.

The only one who stood on the united front with her was Dr. Xie Ye.

At this moment, Xiao Ba's affection for Miss Yosano Akiko instantly surpassed one hundred.

After glaring at the adults viciously, Xiao Ba said angrily: "There is something wrong with that medicine. When I passed by the meeting room, I heard the people inside reporting to the boss, saying that a medicine of unknown use was detected. Feed it to me." After testing the laboratory mice, the mice died, but no cause of death was found by autopsy.”

After taking the medicine, the cause of death cannot be found! ?

At this moment, not only Fukuzawa Yukichi and Dazai Osamu, several names flashed in Akashi Seitomi's mind: Unexplained death, autopsy and pathological section did not find the cause of death, and finally it was judged to be a normal death.

If all these people died because of this drug...

Akashi Seishomi and Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at each other, and both saw fear and solemnity in each other's eyes.

"The conversation here tonight must not be leaked to anyone outside the venue." Fukuzawa Yukichi said, "This is for everyone's safety, especially Hachi and Seijuro."

He focused on entrusting the two children. After the two children nodded and agreed, Fukuzawa Yukichi drove Akashi and his son out of the detective agency without hesitation, and asked them to go back early. As for Xiao Hachi, Yosano Akiko led Go back to the next ward to rest.

Watching the Akashi family's car gallop away, Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't move his eyes, and said, "Is it to protect Seijuro not to repeat the appearance of that waiter?"

Standing beside the president, Osamu Dazai hummed when he heard the words: "Although it is possible to consider the possibility of disguise if Belmode is here, it is more likely that what the waiter did was just a few details of camouflage, so that people will mix him up with him." He can be distinguished from his real appearance. If one day we met on the street but showed a shocked expression, I am afraid that the assassination by that organization is not far away."

Therefore, it is better to let Akashi Seijuro mistakenly think that the other party has pretended to be a waiter and sneaked into the banquet. In this way, he can protect himself to the greatest extent.

not to mention……

Osamu Dazai remembered those two text messages from the same person but didn't know who they were.

If he is not mistaken, those two text messages should be from Bourbon.

The message sent to Chuya seems to be to remind Mafia, the port, but what if... it is to let Chuya arrive at the scene as soon as possible for rescue?

I remember three years ago, when Scotch Whiskey was still in the organization, Bourbon and him seemed to often perform missions together, and the relationship between the two seemed to be pretty good.

Later, Scotch Whiskey exposed his identity as a police officer and defected... Could it be that at that time, Bourbon was thinking of leaving the organization?

Or……

Osamu Dazai fell into deep thought, Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced at his subordinates, turned back to the detective agency without saying anything.

You've become much gentler, Dazai.

he thinks.

The attack on the Yokohama Police Station will not pass so easily, Xiao Ha realized this when he didn't see the sand-colored trench coat for the next few days.

Not only the Akashi consortium, the port mafia, and the military police, but also the detective agency will not let go of the shadow behind the attack—Mr. Dazai probably disappeared to investigate this matter.

...But that organization is not something that a detective agency can track down!

Xiao Hachi, who has seen Shinigami elementary school students but has never seen Bungo Stray Dogs, is full of anxiety. When staying at the detective agency at night, he has nightmares. He dreams that the young man with black hair and iris eyes is knocked down by a black shadow from behind, and is filled with red and white capsules... No, wait, isn't this storyboard shot by Shinichi Kudo?Why did the main character become Mr. Dazai?

Are you going to become the famous detective Mr. Dazai next?

...I'm a little curious about what Mr. Dazai looked like when he was a child, um, just a little bit!

The young man in the sand-colored windbreaker struggled on the grass, as if his whole body was melting in pain, and then stopped moving.

He didn't turn into a primary school student, didn't sit up again, just fell on the ground like a statue, and didn't move.

Xiao Ba woke up from the nightmare.

Before she could recover from the panic, she felt someone beside the bed.

this breath...

Xiao Ba grabbed the opponent's hand, and the familiar touch of the rough bandage made her confirm the identity of the opponent before her eyes fell: "Mr. Dazai!"

"Did you bother me? I'm sorry," the young man apologized with a wry smile, and moved his wrist. "I just wanted to come over and take a look. I found that you were restless in sleep, so I wanted to wipe your sweat for you." He gestured He was holding a towel and gently wiping the hands on Xiao Ba's forehead.

Xiao Ba let go of his hand and touched his forehead, only to realize that he was covered in cold sweat.

She stayed at the detective agency for the past few days, and Ms. Yosano Akiko would sleep with her, but today she fell asleep early, and Ms. Akiko still had some things to deal with, so she went to sleep on the hospital bed by herself.

Unexpectedly, I had a nightmare...

Xiao Ba wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately realized something: "When did Mr. Dazai come back?"

She hadn't seen Mr. Dazai for several days.

"Just now, the detective agency has something to deal with." The young man said indifferently.

Do you mean to leave after dealing with it...continue to track down the whereabouts of that organization?

Xiaoba pursed her lips, trying to dissuade Mr. Dazai from looking any further, but he didn't know where to start, but Dazai Osamu saw that she was hesitant to speak: "What does Xiaoba want to tell me? "

He was thinking, could it be that Xiao Ba thought of some clues to tell him again?

I can't say it bluntly, otherwise I won't be able to explain why I know... After thinking about it, Xiaoba said: "My summer vacation will end in a while, and I will go back to Tokyo by then. Mr. Dazai seems to be very busy recently It looks like the detective agency doesn’t have enough manpower. Well, while I still have some time, Dazai-san, let me be your assistant and help you, okay? I also want to be as powerful as Dazai-san! "

——With her oil bottle, Mr. Dazai will not be able to investigate the organization's affairs!

I'm such a clever little ghost!

Xiao Ba gave himself a thumbs up.
