[Comprehensive] The daily notes of the owner of a Chinese medicine shop

I don't know what the earl said to Osamu Dazai that day, Bai Zhi hasn't seen the people from the Armed Detective Agency enter or leave the pet shop for a few days.

——Thinking from the beast who lays on the counter every day and secretly observes the current situation of the pet store.

Many eyes on the body are observing the current situation of the pet shop every day.The imminent birth of a new baby means a lot to her.Whether it's tomorrow, next year, or even a hundred years... Anyway, time is so generous to her.

The business of her traditional Chinese medicine store is still so bleak.It may be that her appearance is too young, causing most people's mistrust.But later, because she is a "person" of Huaguo, the compatriots in Chinatown are very helpful to her, and occasionally take care of business, such as buying a few packs of traditional Chinese medicine for hemorrhoids.After discovering that the hemorrhoid medicine is so effective, the hemorrhoid medicine in the store suddenly became a hot seller.

Therefore, instead of closing down due to poor business, her traditional Chinese medicine store made a small profit.

.

Not only that, but sometimes those friendly compatriots would also kindly bring her old godmother and her own marinated sauce, which caused her taste to change from light to heavy.

She didn't realize it.

Business goes from good to bad,

Sometimes I have no money to buy groceries,

So the old godmother served with the rice.

Often go to the pet store to grab sweets with Earl.

Such a day seems to be very good.

Gradually, she gave up her plan to move for the fourth time.

But...if everyone mentioned "Baizhi Chinese Medicine Store" instead of "Baizhi Chinese Medicine Store, I know that the medicine there is very effective in treating hemorrhoids!", she might be happier!

……

During the few days of Qingming Festival in April, Bai Zhi planned to go back to Kunlun Mountain.She and her friends made an appointment to go for an outing that day.She has not seen her friends for many years, so she specially prepared a lot of health-care medicinal materials before departure.

On the morning before leaving, Bai Zhi opened the door and saw the long-lost Osamu Dazai.The man still said good morning to her in a vigorous voice, and by the way, "Would you like to die for love together?"

Bai Zhi rejected him as usual.

"Miss Bai Zhi is going away?"

Osamu Dazai, who was rejected without disappointment, asked curiously when he saw the small suitcase Bai Zhi was carrying.

"Ah yes. It's almost Ching Ming Festival."

"Speaking of which, Ms. Bai Zhi is from China." Osamu Dazai nodded knowingly, following this topic, he asked again: "In Miss Bai Zhi's hometown, what are you going to do on Ching Ming Festival?"

"Customs vary from place to place." Bai Zhi visually measured the distance between the two, and felt that they were a little close, so they opened up a little distance.

"What about Miss Bai Zhi?"

Sensing Bai Zhi's small movements, Osamu Dazai got closer as if unconsciously.

"Outing."

The two had left Chinatown and walked to the streets of Yokohama.In fact, Bai Zhi originally wanted to go out to the pet shop to say goodbye and then leave the pet shop.In the end, she didn't want to go out and meet Osamu Dazai, which disrupted her plan.So I had to pretend to go to the airport.

"This is my farewell to Mr. Dazai." Bai Zhi said, and then stopped a taxi casually.

"Mmm, goodbye, Miss Baizhi."

Osamu Dazai smiled and waved goodbye, and at this time, Kunikida-kun who was not far away ran over and shouted in an exasperated tone: "You economic waste device!"

Osamu Dazai clutched his chest with some injuries, "Kunikida-kun, don't you think the address just now was a little too much?"

On the contrary, Kunikida-kun became even more anxious.

"Does Ji still have the time to harass women in such an extraordinary situation?"

"It's too much, Kunikida-kun! I clearly had a good chat with Ms. Bai Zhi!" Osamu Dazai shouted dissatisfied.It seems that Kunikida used the word "harassment" to describe it very much.

"However, what does Kunikida-kun mean by 'extreme situation'?"

Kunikida seemed to have come to his senses, and said solemnly, "The client's body was found near the port of Yokohama. It's already on the morning news."

Masashi Nakano, the client of the pet cannibalism incident, was found in an alley near Yokohama port early this morning.The body was allegedly horribly mutilated.

"Did the man-eating tiger do it?" Dazai Osamu also became serious.

"Not sure yet, but very unlikely."

"...This is terrible. If the man-eating tiger didn't do it, then it means that another incredible beast has escaped from the cage..."

Osamu Dazai sighed, and then he said to Kunikida: "The matter about Mr. Nakano is up to Kunikida-kun! As for me, I will go to the pet store."

Kunikida frowned, "Are you still suspicious of the pet store?"

Just three days ago, the client, Masashi Nakano, came to the Armed Detective Agency and terminated the commission.His spirit doesn't look very good, it can even be said to be sluggish.His complexion was abnormally pale, as if he hadn't slept well for several days.The clothes are sloppy, and the dirt on the hair is like a range hood that hasn't been cleaned for a long time.

In short, he looked like a tramp.

As for the reason, he didn't say anything.Just mentioned the termination of the entrustment, and left the agency after paying all the fees.Not a single word is superfluous.

This makes Kunikida-kun, who is working hard to investigate the incident, slightly dissatisfied.But due to the client's own wishes, he had no choice but to let it go.

However, who would have thought that in the early morning of this morning, he actually learned the news of his tragic death.

"After all, all the troubles started with the pets you bought, didn't they?"

Dazai smiled, with the corners of his mouth pulled up slightly, as if he was thinking of something.

Kunikida frowned, then said, "I see."

Although I often complain about how much trouble Dazai caused.But I have to say that under certain circumstances, Osamu Dazai is someone who can be relied on.

After Kunikida-kun left, Osamu Dazai also walked towards the pet shop.

"Rabbit..."

He whispered, recalling the conversation with Earl D, the owner of the pet shop that day.

"Armed Detective Agency, I have heard a little bit about it. Ah Tian has already told me the details."

Earl D made two cups of tea.A cup was placed in front of Dazai, and the cup was held in the palm of his hand.

"Unfortunately, but... the guest violated the agreement..."

"Oh? What is the agreement?" Osamu Dazai seemed very interested.

Earl D took out a contract form from nowhere, between his slender and pale fingers, presented the content of the contract to Osamu Dazai.

"Be careful, don't let others see him, and don't break the incense stick that comes with it, and don't eat him..."

"Any questions?"

"No oh~"

Osamu Dazai moved his eyes away from the contract form, and glanced casually across the store, then he looked at the tea in front of him. The reddish-brown liquid had an unknown aroma, and the rising smoke was similar to the tea in the store. The smoke from the incense burner is so compatible.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was in his mouth, and his whole mouth was infected with its unique taste.Sliding down his throat, Osamu Dazai felt that his trip was truly worthwhile!

"It's really good tea!"

He sincerely praised it.

"Dahongpao, the mother tree brought from China, is one of the treasures of tea."

"Hey... so amazing! Then I feel really honored!"

"It is the purpose of this store to provide the customers who come to the door with a service that can be provided. So, is there anything else Mr. Dazai needs to know?"

Earl D showed another cold smile on his face, but he was not rude.

"Hmm... What is the meaning of the three contracts? Can you tell me, Earl?"

Dazai leaned over and looked him straight in the eyes.Purple in the left eye, golden in the right eye, this is the first time I have seen two eyes of different colors in one person.

Hmm... are they really not colored contact lenses?

"The pets in our store are always shy. The incense sticks are just to eliminate the unpleasant smell of rabbits. As for the third item... the meat of rabbits is a lie..."

His tone couldn't be more normal.

The memory ends.

Osamu Dazai breathed out, putting his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker.He couldn't see through this man.Years of experience told him that this person is very dangerous... No, not so much this person, but the whole pet shop is very dangerous.

Moreover, the three contracts mentioned by Earl D may have some meaning...

When heading to the pet shop, Osamu Dazai suddenly had a message on his cell phone, which came from Bai Zhi who had already arrived in Kunlun.

The message said:

—The earl has no resistance to sweets.

No other meaning, just simply curious about this incident.

Moreover, she also wants to know what the Armed Detective Agency can do with their supernatural abilities...

Later, she sent another message:

Don't thank me too much :)

When she came to this world, she bought a smart phone with the little money left. What made her interesting was that the phone's keyboard had its own emoji.This made her, who used to use old mobile phones in hell, happily use symbols to communicate with everyone in hell every day.It can be said that I am very proud.

Of course, when she gets together with her friends, she'll know there's more to emoji than emojis — memes!

Well, let’s not mention it now, apart from the previous reasons, the more important thing is sweets.

When the economy was tight, he robbed Earl of a lot of sweets, which made him feel very guilty, so he came up with this method.

Osamu Dazai received two messages from Bai Zhi in succession, which made him a little... "flattered".

But I have to say that Miss Bai Zhi's information did bring him a lot of convenience.

Putting away the phone, putting his hands together, Osamu Dazai showed a refreshing smile: "Scatter! Let's go to the newly opened dessert shop to buy sweets!"

The author has something to say: the mother tree Dahongpao and so on... Poor people have never drank it.

Anyway, very expensive!
