Canary of the gods

It is actually not difficult to guess what a temple cultivator is thinking.In other words, based on the information revealed to him by Osamu Dazai so far, it would be strange if a priest didn't think in this direction.

Therefore, Osamu Dazai said in a relaxed tone: "Are you worried that Ms. Mihashi is the accomplice of the bank robber I mentioned earlier, but I didn't find out?"

"……Um."

A temple repair is very tangled.Being able to ask such a question, does it mean that Dazai Osamu did not fail to notice the suspicious point on Mihashi Rina's wrist, but what happened to what he said just now?

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Mihashi is not, that red mole should be just a coincidence. This was confirmed when I held her hand."

"Huh? What do you mean?" When did this guy confirm it?

"As I said before, what was the hostage doing when he found the red mole on the man's wrist? He was loading bullets. Being able to load bullets proficiently shows that this person is familiar with firearms, so his palms will be left more or less. The cocoon that holds the gun under it. Miss Mihashi's soft and delicate hands do not meet this condition."

"Oh..." A temple cultivator nodded, and asked impatiently: "Then the neighbor mother-in-law you mentioned just now...?"

Osamu Dazai raised a finger between his lips and whispered, "We'll talk about this later."

After finishing speaking, he turned around with a smile and looked at Rina Mihashi and the police who were walking towards them.

Seeing this, a temple cultivator also had to put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being.

At the same time, he was inexplicably emotional.

Although he has always been like this, why does he always feel that since he met Dazai Osamu, his brain is not enough?

After the police learned about the situation and made records, they took the unconscious Asada away.

After that, Osamu Dazai also bid farewell to Rina Mihashi, and left her home with Jiichi Ichijo.

The two returned to the car, and a priest asked, "Go back next?"

Osamu Dazai fastened his seat belt and said without looking up, "No, our target is Ikeuchi, so Shuu can find him, right?"

Ji Yijiu didn't speak, stretched out his finger and tapped on the front windshield, and a blue translucent map of Yokohama spread out in an instant.In addition, there are two points on the map, one green represents their current location, one red represents the location of the target person, and a green shortest route map is intimately marked between the two.

"Wow~" Osamu Dazai opened his eyes wide, looking very novel.

He said happily: "No matter how many times I have seen it, I always find it very convenient to cultivate supernatural powers."

A Sixiu started the car, turned the steering wheel and backed the car out of the parking space, and said casually, "If it wasn't for bringing you and being unable to move, we could still reach that guy directly."

Osamu Dazai put on the earphones and leaned back in the chair comfortably, "That's fine. If he suddenly appeared in front of that guy, he might startle the snake. The neighbor's mother-in-law and Mr. Ikeuchi...there are only two of us. There are a total of four criminals involved in the bank robbery, and if Koga Hirono, who is dead, is excluded, there is only one of them who did not show up."

A temple cultivator is very strange, "Why do you suspect that neighbor's mother-in-law?"

"Isn't it natural?" Osamu Dazai put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and rested his mind, "Let's not mention the identity of 'Ikeuchi'. There is a problem with the identity of this person. Let's talk about our meeting in front of the elevator before, then we can I found that Ikeuchi was a withdrawn and unreasonable guy. Rina Mihashi greeted him face to face, but the other party pretended not to hear or see him, so how did this neighbor's mother-in-law know so much about his private information, and told him To rationalize all his actions?"

"So that's how it is..." A temple cultivator nodded as if realizing something.

The car drove out from the open-air parking lot, onto the main road, and merged into the continuous flow of traffic, like a drop of water flowing into a river, and quickly disappeared.

On the sixth floor of the residential building, one can see the window of the main road on one side, and one eye is peeking through the gap between the curtains, peeping at the car carrying the two detective agencies away.

It wasn't until the car disappeared from sight that the man withdrew his gaze and closed the curtain with his right hand. Between light and shadow, a small red mole loomed on his wrist.

On the other hand, the two detective agencies who were tracking Ikeuchi continued the conversation that was interrupted by the email at Rina Mihashi's house.

"As I said before, there are two groups of people who killed Koga Hirono and dumped him in the alley. The former is the port mafia who dealt with traitors, and the latter is Koga Hirono's accomplice in the bank robbery. You ask me why his accomplice Going to impersonate the Port Mafia for the body dump, right?"

Ji Yiyi nodded, but he glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that Osamu Dazai had his eyes closed, so he let out a "hmm" again.

Dazai Osamu said: "This problem is very simple, because the one billion yen was hidden by Koga Hirono, and it was behind the backs of his accomplices."

A temple cultivator was surprised and realized, "So their original purpose was not to throw the corpse, but to find clues to one billion yen?"

"Yes."

A priest frowned and thought for a while, "But... one billion yen is quite a lot, right? How did he avoid his companions and hide the money?"

Osamu Dazai: "What method did they use to escape the police, and what method did Koga Hirono use to quietly transport the billion yen away."

"You mean... different abilities?"

"Correct."

"If my predictions are correct, it is precisely because of this convenient ability that the other three criminals risked being chased and killed by the port mafia, and used a certain method to recruit Koga Hirono into the gang and committed the crime involved together. A huge bank robbery."

"Besides that..." Osamu Dazai opened his eyes, his eyes fell vaguely on the vehicle in front, without focus, obviously not paying attention to it.

He rested his hand on the instrument panel, knocking while thinking, making a soft, rhythmic "dongdong" sound.

"Guga Hirono must have accomplices, the number... at most no more than two, and only one is the most likely. This person has a very close relationship with him and is deeply trusted by him. Before the bank robbery, this guy had never Appeared, so even the port mafia doesn't know the existence of this person. And the one billion yen is in the hands of this guy."

"After Koga Hirono was killed, in order to find the whereabouts of one billion yen, the other three robbers took the risk of pretending to be a gangster of the port mafia, dumped his body in an alley, and searched him Check, but they didn't find any clues..."

The brain was working fast, and Osamu Dazai was speaking faster and faster.

"They knew that if Koga Hirono was alone, even with supernatural powers as a cover, he would not be able to transport a billion yen at the same time, so he must have accomplices. So 'Ikeuchi' exactly like Koga Hirono appeared, and they I want to use this method to lure Koga Hirono's comrades into the bait..."

"At the same time, they couldn't be too high-profile to attract the attention of the port mafia, so they sent a 'neighbor's mother-in-law' to patch up the identity of 'Chi Nei'."

"Every time Chinei goes to the countryside, he is actually 'fishing'. What he sees is not the so-called 'mother', but the last robber. In the past month, the frequency of entering and leaving Chinei has become higher, that is to say, they have Found a suspicious object, but not sure, so I had to increase the number of times that guy dangled under the nose... So, how did they lock the target?"

"Besides that, the biggest problem with 'Ikeuchi' appearing in the form of Koga Hirono... Could it be that the other party doesn't know the news of Koga Hirono's death? Or, even if he knew the news of Koga Hirono's death, now suddenly a person with him The guy who looks exactly the same and has problems at first glance, why do they think that the other party will bite the hook when it is very likely to be a trap?"

"Well……"

Osamu Dazai rested his chin on one hand and fell into deep thought.

"..." A temple cultivator felt that his brain was not enough.

Osamu Dazai raised his head inadvertently, and seeing that his eyebrows were almost knotted, he simply stopped and smoothed his thoughts for him, and also for himself who was stuck in a dead end, "Let's sort it out from beginning to end."

Half a year ago, Koga Hirono, who was supposed to be the captain of the Port Mafia, betrayed the Port Mafia for some reason, and planned a huge bank robbery with three other people.

In order to escape smoothly, the four hijacked two bank employees, killing one and seriously injuring the other.After the seriously injured person woke up, he provided the police with a detail related to the prisoner - one of the prisoners had a small red mole on his wrist.

Using Koga Hirono's supernatural power, the four successfully escaped from the police's pursuit.

After that, Koga Hirono also used his supernatural ability, with the help of unknown accomplices, to avoid the other three robbers, transfer and hide one billion yen.

On the third day after the robbery, between [-]:[-] p.m. and [-]:[-] a.m. on Leibo Street, Koga Hirono was killed by the port mafia in the manner of executing a traitor, and his body was left at the murder scene.

Shortly thereafter, three other robbers disguised themselves as port mafia aftermath personnel and moved Koga Hirono's body to an alley away from people's eyes. After searching him, they did not get any clues related to the billion yen.

The three robbers speculated that Koga Hirono had other companions to help, so one of them pretended to be him and appeared as "Ikeuchi", and the other appeared as "neighbor's mother-in-law" to help the former cover up his identity so as not to attract the port mafia suspicion.

This is pretty much what they know so far, the whole incident has passed.

"So what you don't understand now is how the three robbers are sure that Koga Hirono's accomplices will definitely take the bait?" A temple was caught in the same doubt, "If the other party doesn't know about Koga Hirono's death... The possibility is very small, because if he hadn't died, he might have reunited with the other party long ago, so there would still be the 'chinei' thing?"

Osamu Dazai: "That's right. So 'Ikeuchi' is actually on the surface, and both parties are well aware of it, and it is a trap used to target that unknown accomplice."

A temple cultivator was surprised and said: "Normal people are not so stupid to jump even knowing that there is a trap in front of them, right? But robbers and others still do it. They are so sure that the other party is the kind of person who sees a trap and jumps regardless of everything." Anyone going down?"

Osamu Dazai didn't think it was strange, "Intellectually speaking, it's impossible, but what if a person is overwhelmed by hatred and desperately wants revenge?"

A priest fell silent for a moment.

Because he discovered that Dazai Osamu's words... are not unreasonable!

"Of course, revenge is just an example I gave. I don't know what the real situation is. It's just that there may be people who jump into the pit because of emotions."

"Taking a step back, even if that guy wants to avenge Koga Hirono, based on the information we have obtained so far, he should go to the port mafia who killed the latter, right? But this involves the issue of ability again , I won’t discuss whether that guy can turn over the port mafia for the time being. In terms of the relationship between the robbers alone, it should be Koga Hirono who cheated people. The one billion yen that came was secretly transferred. In this case, Koga Hirono should be at fault.”

A temple cultivator: "Well..."

"So far, there are three most critical issues in this case."

Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand and began to summarize.

"Question [-], why did Koga Hirono make up his mind to betray the port mafia? He is already a member of the squad leader. Doesn't he know that his betrayal will attract the port mafia to hunt him down?"

"Question two, when and how did he get in touch with the other three robbers? Why did he choose to join them in planning this huge bank robbery? Then why did he betray them so quickly after the robbery was successful? , together with another unknown partner, hid one billion yen?"

"Question three, why are the three robbers so determined? Even if Koga Hirono's accomplices know that they are laying a deadly trap, they will still jump down regardless of their own safety?"

"..."

Even Osamu Dazai couldn't figure out the answers to these three questions, and even one temple priest couldn't understand them.

After saying this, Osamu Dazai lay down again and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

A temple cultivator was concentrating on thinking, and his hands left the steering wheel unconsciously. Under the influence of the supernatural ability, the car became a true fully automatic driving again.

After thinking for a long time but unable to find an answer, a temple repair simply recalled what happened today from beginning to end.

After a while, he recalled the story Osamu Dazai made up for Rina Mihashi.

Originally, he wanted to skip it directly, but for some reason, some words that sounded very inconspicuous at the time caught his attention strangely.

"...Lonely alone, really lonely... Then he had the idea of ​​looking for his relatives... Before we could find his relatives, he died in a car accident..."

A thunderbolt split through the dense fog in front of him, and a monk suddenly opened his eyes wide, grabbed Dazai Osamu's arm quickly, and said, "By the way, do you think it is possible..."

"Jingle Bell"

Before he finished speaking, Osamu Dazai's cell phone rang.

"It belongs to Kunikida-kun."

Osamu Dazai took off the earphones and motioned for him to finish listening to the phone first.

A temple cultivator nodded and let go of his hand.

"Hello? Kunikida-kun?"

Originally, Dazai Osamu's tone was quite relaxed, but after hearing the news from the other side, his brows were unconsciously frowned, and his expression gradually became serious, "You said a police car was attacked? Where... um? Isn't that very close to us?"

Osamu Dazai quickly reported a location, and then they discovered that that location coincided with the little red dot represented by Ikeuchi!

A temple repairer zoomed in on the map near the little red dot and then zoomed in, directly projecting the scene of the incident.

Osamu Dazai looked at the police car that had been hit beyond recognition, and suddenly noticed its license plate number, his eyes widened slightly.

"Isn't this... the police car that took Asada away?"
