After I divorced from chaos step

Episode 63: Clues x And x What to do

"Shut up, all of you!"

A discussion evolved to the end, ending with the coffee table being completely chopped up by Zhongya Zhongyuan.

I came out of the bathroom, looked at the four people who were arguing together, crossed my arms and thought about it for a long time.

This is a strong team, no doubt, except for me, everyone is smart, and everyone has something to do with this matter.

They stand in different camps and check and balance each other. I will definitely be reported by others if I am a donkey alone. This is the effect I want.But it is precisely because they are in different camps that they don't like each other, the king does not see the king, and they keep digging holes for each other.

"Don't think I don't know that you broke my glasses and blamed Qingxixi!"

"It was Edogawa-kun who didn't put it away, which caused me to almost fall."

...If this continues, Tuosi, who has the worst heart, may kill Luanbu.

In terms of force value, Ranpo can be said to be the bottom of the four of them.

"Stop arguing."

Skull pain.

I rubbed between my brows, dragged Tuosi's collar, and walked to the front desk: "Check out."

Tosi's eyes widened: "I pay?"

"Ah."

Pointing to the other three people, he said, "Central Plains broke the table, Dazai was the one who caused the trouble, Edogawa was the one who fanned the flames, and I, an innocent person, paid for it in the end?"

"Yes, it's you." I pulled out the wallet from his pocket, "You are responsible for maintaining order, and if you get into trouble in the future, you will be the one to compensate."

"why?"

"Because you have plotted against me for so many years." Although the ability was released in random steps, the person who distorted my fate wasn't Tosi?

The money in Dosi's wallet is only enough to pay for a coffee, but we still have to accompany him with a coffee table, tea set, and money for painting the walls.

He hummed for a long time, and finally the store manager promised him that he could pay in installments.

None of us reached out to him—don't wonder, this man isn't worth saving.

After leaving the cafe, I took out my notebook and wrote down what happened today.

It can be regarded as a gain.

Grandpa Xingzuo is a very important clue. His ability name appeared on the box containing my ability, and there was also a yen symbol at the same time.

What does it represent?

Does his ability have anything to do with mine?

Could it be that the box was originally his ability?

As for Grandpa Xingzuo, I only got along with him in childhood.

He and Grandma Hanamaru run a Chinese restaurant, and the business is basically managed by the grandma and the clerk. He is lazy all day long and takes me on tours.

I actually don’t know him well, and I also learned his name because I overheard the conversation between Dad and him, and when I asked him, he pouted at me: “It’s not fun to ask so many questions. "

I asked my father, and my father stroked my head and said, "Do you know the story of Pandora?"

"know."

"Whether Pandora is a disaster or not, no one can tell." Dad smiled gently at me, "So don't make things difficult for Teacher."

Grandpa was my father's teacher. According to my father, he was once a great person, but I asked all the adults around me, but no one knew what was so great about grandpa.

Everyone's evaluations are surprisingly consistent, he is an old man who is very lazy and afraid of death.I have a vague feeling that he seems to be deliberately trying to make others think so.

The only time I saw him make a shot was when he took me to meet friends in Yokohama.

As he asked me what I wanted for lunch, he single-handedly fought back countless mafia members who were blocking the road to collect tolls, and finally tied them with a long rope and sent them back to the port mafia.

He was in a bad mood that day, so he released his friend's pigeons and took me out of there, saying that he would bring me to meet his old friend after Yokohama got a little better.

If you want to know the truth about grandpa's supernatural powers and his disappearance, besides asking your father, you can only ask his old friend.But one of them has amnesia, and the other I don't know who it is.

How to find it?

Amnesia... memory!

The figure of Ango Sakaguchi appeared in my mind. He had extracted the memory of Uncle Ranpo before and helped me find out the origin of the ability. If it was a relic of my grandfather, he should be able to extract the memory of my grandfather.

Grandpa's relic, I had one before, the little rabbit wallet he gave me, but I crushed it.

There are only two places, one is Hanamaru's grandmother's place, and the other is where parents are.

Compared with the latter, I think the way to obtain the former is a little higher.

So I immediately called Grandma Hanamaru.

"Grandma, do you have any old things left by grandpa?"

Grandma Hanamaru was making dinner, and I heard the sound of her turning off the gas stove: "I have some deposits, throw away all the old things."

"Did you throw it all away? Are there any combs, necklaces, etc. that grandpa gave you?"

"No, he always gives red envelopes directly."

I asked unwillingly: "The chopsticks, bowls and so on that grandpa used..."

Grandma said happily: "The old things have been disposed of by Zhongye, and he bought me new ones, which are very useful."

I was stunned, and looked at Chuya Nakahara, who was about to explode after being teased by Dazai, thinking that he was really a...good guy.

Grandma Hanamaru asked again, "Qingxi, did you hear the news about antique recycling again? Zhong also said that many of those news were defrauding the elderly."

"...No." I explained indiscriminately, "I just miss my grandpa."

"Oh." Grandma Hanamaru said, "Don't think about him, he's had a good life all his life. He has no regrets."

"Is there a possibility," I asked tentatively, "that grandpa...is still alive. He just disappeared, isn't he?"

"Impossible." Grandma said calmly, "He will not leave without saying goodbye. When he accepted my marriage proposal decades ago, he told me that one day he would leave without saying goodbye, and he would never come back. Come, let me take good care of myself, save more money, and raise some small animals to pass the time if I'm too lonely."

Just a few words caused an uproar in my heart.

He made such a long-term plan so long ago?Was he talking nonsense, or did he know that one day would come?

Grandpa is in good health, with strong physical skills, and his ability to escape and be lazy is first-rate. Who is it and what caused him to die?

Dad didn't let us go to him, but continued to live the life of ordinary people peacefully... There are two possibilities, one is that Dad secretly avenged his revenge, and the other is——

Grandpa sacrificed voluntarily.

To understand this, one must know his previous experience.

Nakahara Chuya threw away all the things about grandpa from Grandma Hanamaru, leaving only Mom and Dad.

I said goodbye to the four of them and decided to go home.

"Qingxixi, take me with you." Luanbu begged with reason, "If you go home alone, you will probably be scolded by your mother. If I am here, she will scold me, so you won't scolded you."

I nodded: "You are right."

When Ranpo and I were in Kamakura, the one who got scolded was always Ranpo, and he always easily attracted my mother's attention.

"You are already divorced, you should change the name of Yuanjiang's mother."

Tosi was provoking wildly again.

Luanbu frowned and said: "It has nothing to do with you, and my mother likes me very much."

Tosi tilted his head: "Why is it irrelevant? Maybe she will be me in the future—"

My eyes shot over, he immediately stopped talking nonsense, and changed the subject: "Yuan-chan went back to find clues, if Edogawa-kun is with you, then according to Mrs. Yuan's love for Edogawa-kun, maybe she will mention remarriage again To add obstacles to the investigation, Yuanjiang, do you want this to happen?"

I nodded: "You are right."

Every word is uneasy and kind, and every word is calculated, but it is hard to find fault, and it is full of understanding.

"I think that even if Qingxi-chan goes back alone, she will be questioned by her aunt about the divorce." Dazai may think it's amused, or he may realize that he and Ranpo belong to the same company and should stand on the same front.

Tosi smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about that, I will go back with Yuan Jiang, and I will try to distract Mrs. Yuan's attention."

Zhong Yuanzhong also added a sentence: "You are a Russian, and you came home at the same time as Yuan. I guess her mother will only think that you are the reason for her divorce."

"It doesn't matter." Tosi's face has been cultivated thicker than that of Dazai, "I can still work hard, and let Mrs. Shiyuan guess."

"Work hard for your size!" I cursed and knocked him hard on the head.

They can quarrel over one thing, can they cooperate in the future?

The effect of mutual checks and balances has been achieved, but it is also digging holes for each other all the time!

At the same time, what each of them said is very reasonable. When I go home alone, I will be interrogated to death by my mother. If I bring Luanbu home together, the topic of divorce cannot be avoided. I will bring anyone from Dazai Nakahara home. , That person will be considered by my mother to be the reason for my divorce.

She doesn't want me to think, she just wants her own.

……too difficult.

I'm too difficult.

And the most important thing now is to unite them a bit.

"Ranbu-sang, you and Tuosi, let's go for a trip as three of us." Before Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu could speak, I said, "It's not good to have too many people, one more person is fine, Nakahara Jun, you still have a lot of Hong Kong gangster work to do, so come here today. Dazai-kun, my mother doesn’t have a friendly impression of you, so don’t come here.”

Zhongyuan Zhong also always respected my decision, and nodded after a little hesitation: "Call me if you have anything to do."

Dazai joked, "If the call is intercepted, you won't be able to receive anything."

This sentence undoubtedly hit the knees of Chuya Nakahara and me. Although we didn't pay much attention to the blind date at the beginning, it was just a small episode in life, but no one likes the feeling of being fooled.

I remembered the scene when I looked at him on the first blind date.

I arrived half an hour late on purpose, hiding behind a tree and watching him.

Without any impatience, he even folded a paper flower for the crying child at the next table.

When he saw me, he didn't ask me why I was late, I said, "I encountered a little trouble on the road, I'm sorry."

"Are you not hurt?" he asked.

"No."

"Is the matter resolved?"

"Ah."

He didn't have any impatience, and he didn't have any blame. It's the same with everyone before and after.

"I will never lend my phone to others again." This is my promise to him, "I will call you if something happens."

He nodded, and pulled Osamu Dazai who was about to stay to watch the fun: "Let's go, I'll give you a ride."

"Take it easy, Chuya, you're tearing my bandage."

He walked a long way, turned around, and looked at me again.

Our eyes meet together like a world apart.

He suddenly gave me a cheering gesture.

"Qingxi, you must be fine."

...This is the first time he called me Qingxi instead of Yuan.
