Yokohama Hearts Fraudster

"It is said that Moon Shadow Mask was captured and will be executed in a forest on the outskirts of Tokyo two days later."

"……what??"

He Quanlian was dumbfounded.

He almost thought he was hallucinating.

Moon Shadow Mask was caught?Still be executed? ?Why doesn't he know? !

In other words, he himself is clearly standing here, how can there be a second moon shadow mask in this world? !

"What's going on?" Izumi Ren asked Dazai Osamu impatiently.

"Go to my office and talk about it." Dazai Osamu bent his eyes at him, "After all, this is considered a secret."

On the way to the office, He Quanlian was full of thoughts about this matter, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out who spread this rumor and what its purpose was.

He barely suppressed the anxiety in his heart, waited patiently until Osamu Dazai sat on the familiar sofa chair, and then took a step forward, looking at him with urging eyes.

"Mr. Mori called us for a meeting just now, and he mentioned this matter. It is said that it was a post in an underground forum, which recorded the information about the Moon Shadow Mask in detail, and the owner of the post killed him and arrested him. Go to Moon Shadow Mask and kill him in the live broadcast at noon two days later."

Osamu Dazai folded his hands and leaned his elbows on the table, speaking with a very serious expression.

"You also know that Mr. Mori has always been very interested in the ability of Moon Shadow Mask. After learning about this news, he immediately sent people to Tokyo to investigate the information. Guess what happened?"

He smiled and looked at He Quanlian with meaningful eyes.

But He Quanlian tensed her nerves as if she was facing an enemy, and subconsciously moved her Adam's apple: "...how is it?"

"The people who investigated the intelligence did find a ruined area in the forest, and there were special people in charge of this kind of place. Although they couldn't tell which organization they belonged to from their uniforms, the intelligence personnel still risked their lives. We sent a picture like this."

Osamu Dazai gently opened the mobile phone on the table, and when it was on a picture, he pushed the mobile phone towards Izumi Ren.

He Quanlian looked down, and what caught her eyes was a very familiar evening dress. Whether it was the style or the beautiful pattern drawn on the fabric, it was exactly the same as the evening dress of Moon Shadow Mask.

The master in evening dress was chained to an iron cross, his clothes were torn, and his body was covered in bloodstains from whipping.

He lowered his head, making it difficult to see his face clearly, but no matter from which angle of the photo, this person's figure is very similar to Moon Shadow Mask.

He Quanlian's eyes widened. If he wasn't the Moon Shadow Mask himself, he might completely believe that the one in this photo is the real Moon Shadow Mask.

So much alike, so much alike.

At the same time, a trace of doubt suddenly rose in He Quanlian's heart. The enemy was able to portray his image so realistically, so he must be someone who knew him well.

But as Moon Shadow Mask, he had appeared in front of two organizations altogether, one was the Port Mafia, and the other was the Armed Detective Agency. Neither of these two organizations could be full enough to do this kind of thing.

Who is the manipulator behind it?

Hequanlian couldn't understand it.

Osamu Dazai glanced carefully at Izumi Ren's eyebrows, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "What's your opinion on this?"

"...Maybe someone imitated Moon Shadow's mask and stole it, but he was arrested due to lack of strength." He Quanlian murmured one of her thoughts, "The problem is not necessarily not this organization, it may be the role of Moon Shadow Masked people."

"Oh?" Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips widened a little, "Why don't you think this Moon Shadow Mask is real? Instead, you insist that he is a counterfeit."

His tone was tentative and somewhat obvious pleasure, He Quanlian's body froze suddenly, realizing that he had made a very serious mistake.

Because he just came back from the parallel world, he subconsciously thought that the Dazai Osamu who was talking to him was the Dazai Osamu who knew his identity, and he was so focused on the enemy's conspiracy that he didn't even notice what he said What, I accidentally made a fool of myself.

"...Because Moon Shadow Mask is so powerful, how could he be caught so easily."

He Quanlian swallowed with difficulty, hurriedly made amends, pretending to be serious and explained: "He can create a drug that restricts everyone's body, and he escaped from our organization several times without injury, so no matter what you think It's not me anymore."

"Oh~ I see." Osamu Dazai elongated his tone, lowered his eyes and smiled, as if everything was in silence.

He Quanlian looked at his expression carefully, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you think?"

"What you said has some truth, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that it's the Tsukikage Mask." Osamu Dazai performed Tai Chi, as if he answered his question, but he didn't say anything.

Before He Quanlian stared at him speechlessly, he suddenly stood up and stretched lazily: "I don't know Mr. Mori's thoughts, but Chuya seems to believe it completely, look at his You can tell by the serious expression on your face."

Thinking of Nakahara Nakaya's resolute back that he didn't even see but hurried forward, He Quanlian sighed helplessly, sincerely hoping that he would not do anything wrong.

"You don't seem to be jealous." Suddenly, Osamu Dazai pulled his face closer to him, observing his face with interest, "Obviously your boyfriend is worried about another person, but you are indifferent."

He Quanlian's heart thumped again, and she smiled awkwardly: "How could that be? It's just that Chuya is an opponent who cherishes Tsukikage Mask, and it should be because he feels that his opponent died at the hands of others. I hate it. I won't Indiscriminately jealous like a woman."

He completely forgot that Nakahara Chuya had close contact with Kashima before, so he immediately stood up and declared his sovereignty, talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"This is also human nature, and I will understand him."

Osamu Dazai glanced at him with his deep pupils, and there was a smile that was not a smile on the corner of his lips. He sat back on the chair casually, crossed his legs up and down, and looked sideways at the blue sky outside the window.

Fragments of sunlight sprinkled on the sparkling sea, making the whole sea seem to be coated with a golden film.

Through the colors refracted by the glass, the warmth in his pupils continued to deepen.

"In any case, we will not do anything special about it until Mr. Sen gives an order."

He squinted his eyes and gave He Quanlian a slight glance: "After all, if Yueying Mask dies, it is also a matter of our concern."

He Quanlian was startled, and suddenly understood what he meant.

That's right, if the identity of the Moon Shadow Mask died without anyone noticing it, wouldn't he be able to erase this identity logically, so he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore!

And if you need treasures, the Armed Detective Agency can also provide them in a friendly manner. He doesn't need to wear a vest to commit crimes against the wind!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was beneficial to him, and He Quanlian's worries disappeared completely, and his eyes shone brightly, and he almost hummed a ditty to have a drink.

But when he was about to say goodbye, Dazai Osamu suddenly asked him strangely: "By the way, we really don't know how to do anything, but if it's Chuya..."

He gave He Quanlian a meaningful look: "You have to be careful, that slug is very easy to be bound by emotions."

"..."

Hearing what he said, He Quanlian suddenly became a little uneasy.

Could it be that Zhong will secretly go to Tokyo to save people behind their backs, for the sake of Moon Shadow Mask?

To be honest, this possibility is very high, and Quanlian can't kill Zhongyuanzhong, and he will never disobey the order of the organization.

At this time, he began to feel annoyed about using the vest of the Moon Shadow Mask to tease the other party. You see, this is self-defeating.

But what Hequanlian can do now is to stay with Chuya Nakahara at all times and supervise him not to do stupid things.

"Zhongye."

After being ignored again, Izumi Ren couldn't help but pat Chuya Nakahara on the shoulder as a reminder.

And Nakahara Chuya's expression also showed the irritability of being disturbed for a moment, until he realized that it was Hequanlian who called him, he stood awkwardly where he was, and barely evoked a smile.

"Lian... sorry, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? I should be the one to ask you." He Quanlian frowned and looked at him, "You have ignored me twice today, what's wrong, you're out of your mind."

Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his mouth, with an eager expression on his face, but in the next moment, he abruptly retracted the topic and swallowed everything down.

Ever since he heard the news that Tsukikage Mask was arrested, he has been in a state of restlessness. Even though he was trapped in a cage known as the Mafia, his heart has been flying to Tokyo.

As long as you close your eyes, you can imagine the scene in that photo. Moon Shadow Mask was abused to the point of being bruised all over.

Thinking of this, as if he could empathize with him, he felt a burst of suffocation in his chest.

So when He Quanlian asked, he instinctively wanted to tell the person he trusted the most, but just as he was about to speak, he realized that it was not right.

His indescribable feelings for Moon Shadow Mask seem to be very close to the definition of liking in other people's understanding, and He Quanlian is his lover... If he really said it, he might be misunderstood by He Quanlian.

Even if he was in a negative mood by himself, he absolutely didn't want to see sadness on He Quanlian's face.

Zhongyuan Zhong also clenched his palms tightly, and there was a tangle between his brows for a moment, but in the next second, he tried his best to restore his smile, and raised his hand to hold He Quanlian's palm.

"Nothing...I've been working too much recently, I'm just a little tired."

He Quanlian stared at his face intently, he always felt that his lover was good everywhere, but his emotions were too easy to show.

You see, 'I'm sad' is written all over your face, but you have to force yourself to pretend that nothing happened.

This feeling of not being trusted is just too bad.

At the same time, he was also annoyed at his inability to speak about the Moon Shadow Mask.

Soon, there were other tasks waiting for him in the Central Plains, so he said goodbye to He Quanlian, and He Quanlian stared at his back with heavy eyes, and sighed silently.

... This feeling that I can't tell him, but if I don't tell him, it will easily lead to disaster is really entangled.

However, He Quanlian could neither choose to put on the vest of the Moon Shadow Mask to show that she was completely fine, nor could she confess to Zhong Yuanzhong that she was the Moon Shadow Mask.

He Quanlian looked away slightly, scratched her cheek, cough, he thought about confessing to Nakahara Chuya... But, if Moon Shadow Mask can be judged as dead in this way, he will not touch this root on purpose. Weak strings, right?

Fearing that the Armed Detective Agency would also be deceived by the news, He Quanlian took the initiative to come to the Armed Detective Agency and personally explained the cause and effect of the incident.

And Edogawa Ranpo finished listening quietly, and nodded very calmly: "I see~"

He Quanlian looked at him expectantly: "Have you guessed everything behind this, Mr. Ranpo?"

"Yes." Edogawa raised his head triumphantly, "If you want to know, please ask me."

He Quanlian immediately acted cheekily and sweetly: "Please, please tell me!"

Edogawa Ranpo: "Not sincere enough!"

Hequanlian: "Yo, the world's number one detective! Ranpo-sama! Please tell me."

"Cough, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you." Edogawa Ranpo shook his body in a good mood, his face full of joy, "The enemy is a powerful organization, their purpose It's your ability. He didn't know your identity to make such a tentative move, as long as you don't take the initiative to show up, nothing will happen."

"So you'd better stay here honestly."

"Of course, I'm not a fool, how could I be caught on my own initiative." He Quanlian assured him, patted her chest.

"But it's ok if you know the purpose, and I feel relaxed all over."

In the past, the enemy was in the dark, and he was in the light. He was worried all day long to find out the enemy's purpose, but now that he knew the other party's purpose, he didn't have to worry about anything.

He Quanlian waved her hands carelessly, and bid farewell to the members of the detective agency.

It's just that what he didn't notice was that Edogawa Ranpo's deep green eyes suddenly opened slightly, and there was a beautiful luster in them.

"Sometimes, things don't go the way you think, Izumi~"

Kunikida Doppo, who happened to walk up to him, was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Did you say anything, Mr. Ranpo?"

"Nothing." Edogawa sat comfortably on the sofa in Ranbu, and smiled with his eyes bent, "Well, it will end well anyway, so it's okay."

……

Edogawa Ranpo pointed out the worries in his heart, and Izumi Ren immediately dissipated all his worries and returned to the organization in a good mood.

Apart from worrying about Nakahara Chuya, he felt that the future was bright.

But Chuya Zhongye's emotions were more troublesome than he imagined.

On the first day, Zhong Yuanzhong was just deep in thought with tangled eyebrows, but on the second day, he was so irritable that he kept arranging his hat, or walking around the room.

Tomorrow is the day when Moon Shadow Mask will die, and he is even more restless.

He Quanlian saw it, but had nothing to comfort him.

So during the lunch break, He Quanlian could only drag Nakahara Chuya to the well-received cake shop outside, trying to relieve the negative emotions in the other party's heart.

However, this kind of battle was also a failure, and Zhong Yuanzhong just responded to his words with a forced smile, and used a fork to pick up the cake and sent it to his mouth mechanically. The taste was like chewing wax, and he even drank a small bottle of vinegar as water , and almost spit it out again.

Seeing his extremely stupid appearance, He Quanlian suddenly felt an unknown fire.

Similar to the jealous emotion of 'I'm right in front of you, and you're still worried about other people'.

So with a displeased expression on his face, he slammed the iron fork on the table as if venting, and suddenly, the piercing sound echoed in Zhongyuan Zhongye's ears.

"You are enough!"

He Quanlian lowered her brows extremely low, her eyebrows were coldly confronted, and she said every word.

"How long are you going to be depressed?"

"..."

Nakahara Chuya showed a surprised expression on his face, belatedly, he realized that this was the first time he saw Hequanlian angry.

Soon, his expression appeared to be at a loss, and he sat on the chair restlessly, but subconsciously stroked the hat on his head with his palm.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." His blue eyes were full of anxiety, and he deliberately looked at the cake on the table to stir up the topic, "This cake is delicious, and I like it very much."

"Really." He Quanlian looked at him expressionlessly, and slowly wrapped her arms around her, "Then what's the name of this cake?"

"..." Zhong Yuanzhong also stopped talking immediately.

The atmosphere in the air seemed to be getting heavier, as if it was so gloomy that water droplets could drip out, Izumi Ren looked at Zhongya Nakahara's expression like a child who did something wrong but didn't know how to make it up, and sighed helplessly again.

As he sighed, Nakahara Chuya lowered his head even lower, as if he didn't know what expression to show to talk to him.

All this was beyond He Quanlian's expectations, and He Quanlian felt quite a headache.

I thought that Zhongya Zhongya's compliance with the organization's rules could force him not to care about the Moon Shadow Mask, but looking at this posture, it feels like Chuya Zhongya will go to Tokyo to save people every minute.

At this time, letting Zhongyuan Zhongye go out would only be superfluous, and Quanlian seriously thought about the strategy he should adopt, and finally made up his mind to ask Zhongyuan Zhongya not to care about the Moon Shadow Mask.

"Chuya, you are thinking about the Moon Shadow Mask."

Faced with his decisive words, Nakahara Chuya's eyes widened slightly, apparently he did not expect He Quanlian to guess what was on his mind.

"How...how could you?"

"It was Dazai who told me." He Quanlian raised his eyebrows, and now he is completely different from the gentle smile in the past, feeling like he is on the verge of getting angry, "It's better to say that you have become like this, I guess not It would be weird to come out."

"So, you like him?"

"of course not."

Zhongyuan Zhong also answered decisively, as if he was afraid of misunderstanding, he quickly denied it, and there was no deceitful emotion in his eyes.

Under He Quanlian's raised eyebrow gaze, he paused, and then continued to add: "I'm just a little worried about him, it's not an excuse, it's just the feeling he gave me..."

—It seems to be somewhat similar to you.

However, comparing He Quanlian to an enemy was an insult in the eyes of others, so Zhongyuan Zhong also pursed his lips with a troubled face, but still didn't say anything.

It's not the similarity in personality and appearance, but the similarity in the feeling it brings to him.

With the gradual understanding of these two people, this kind of thought arose in Nakahara Chuya's mind, and it has been lingering ever since.

Moon Shadow Mask was arrested, on the one hand, it was due to the love that Moon Shadow Mask had saved him, and on the other hand, it was because of this vague similarity, so Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't be indifferent to this matter.

He hopes that Moon Shadow Mask can live in peace, and then say goodbye to the other party, and never communicate with each other again.

This is the obligation he can and should fulfill to his lover He Quanlian.

However, the rules of the organization prevented him from going to rescue Moon Shadow Mask, which made him restless for the past two days, and he didn't know what to do.

His emotions were all hidden in his heart, and He Quanlian didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing him hesitating and unable to tell the general appearance, he felt extremely angry.

"Don't think about him, Chuya."

With a non-negotiable tone, Hequanlian looked down at Zhongye in the Central Plains.

His voice was cold and indifferent, as if he was talking about strangers: "The organization has no order for you to attack, and you have no reason to go to Tokyo to help him. Besides, this is still against the principles of the organization. severely punished."

"Moon Shadow Mask is just a thief, and also our enemy. As a cadre of Hong Kong gangsters, you can't mix your own selfishness."

These few words were spoken by him righteously, his analysis was clear, and he ruthlessly smeared himself by the way.

If it wasn't for the purpose of dispelling Chuya's thoughts, He Quanlian would never belittle herself like this!

It can be seen how much pains he has put in.

"..."

Facing his earnest persuasion, Nakahara Chuya's face gradually showed a bit of struggle, as if he was wandering between reason and emotion, and he was still unable to make up his mind.

There seemed to be mist rising in the azure blue eyes, which were dark like a gloomy rainy day.

Is it really impossible to save Moon Shadow Mask?

Veins popped out of the back of his hand that was placed on the table, and all the blood vessels were clearly displayed in front of He Quanlian.

...It seems that the shackles of reason are not enough, and even heavier shackles are needed.

He Quanlian glanced at the back of Nakahara Chuya's hand. He couldn't understand Nakahara Chuya's true heart, so he analyzed it in the most rational way.

Although he didn't want to say this sentence in his whole life, but the matter has come to this point, he had to use this last resort.

He Quanlian silently apologized, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, the silvery eyes had already deposited a deep color.

"Don't go anywhere, stay in the organization, if you still think I'm your lover."

As he gradually uttered his lines, Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyes suddenly, looking at him in disbelief.

The confusion in those pupils made people feel distressed, and He Quanlian's palms hidden under the table were clasping them firmly.

He coldly ignored the person in front of him that made his heart ache, and slowly turned his head away: "If you think that Moon Shadow Mask is more important than me, and that you can't lose him even if you lose me...then we..."

The wind blowing in from the window seemed to have blown away the murmur from his lips, but Zhong Yuanzhong could hear it clearly for some reason.

"—Let's break up."

The pain in the heart seemed to be torn apart in an instant, because of the cold words that He Quanlian uttered.

He never thought that the Moon Shadow Mask was more important than He Quanlian, and he didn't intend to break up with He Quanlian because of this matter, but it was unacceptable for He Quanlian to say such cruel words.

He Quanlian couldn't understand herself, and he didn't know how to explain it himself.

This is where the misunderstanding begins.

Chuya Nakahara's eyes were full of indescribable sadness, he didn't know what to say now, but when he looked at He Quanlian's extremely calm side face, he felt that he had to say something.

He pressed down the brim of his hat to cover all the emotions on his face, only revealing the clean curve of his jaw, and his thin lips moved.

"...You, do you hate me?"

Even though he lowered his voice so that the words sounded a little deeper than usual, He Quanlian could feel the slight trill in his ears.

At this time, being soft-hearted is equivalent to giving up all previous efforts, He Quanlian gave herself a few hints in her heart, and then said coldly: "I don't hate it."

He stood up, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes expressionlessly, and then looked down at Chuya Nakahara, who was motionless, and said softly.

"I just hate that I'm not the most important person in your heart."

With that said, he turned around and walked quickly out of the cake shop.

Don't look back, don't be soft-hearted.

He warned himself, looking at the distance with calm eyes, and never looked back at the lonely figure that was left alone in the end.

In the same way, Chuya Zhongya kept his head down and did not respond for a long time.

The sunlight hit the table sideways, but it plunged his whole body into shadows.

Occasionally, a fine light reflected on his cheek.

At first glance, the bright light was like shining transparent drops of water, shining brilliantly under his eyelids.

The author has something to say: He Quanlian: In order not to let Zhong Ye save me, I have paid a lot, hey.

In fact, the next chapter started to explain Zhongye's true heart. This chapter allows everyone to follow Hequanlian's perspective and misunderstand Zhongye.

But it seems that the effect is not good, so I wrote it in detail in this piece.

Probably because although I have a good impression, in order to be responsible to my lover, I hope that he can live safely and never see each other again.a way to deal with it.

ps I thought that everyone would prefer the emotional entanglement between the two people, but after reading the comments, I found that this is not the case?
