Yokohama 8pm Theater

Mackerel: Good morning, Miss Michiko.

Mackerel: Is there anything I can do for you?

-

Looking across the two messages on the chat interface that hadn't been answered for a long time, Dazai threw the phone aside.He rested his chin with one hand, and with the other he poked at the "antique collection" placed on the table, looking bored.

From the so-called small bottle containing poisonous wine, an ordinary stone, a box containing snake fossils, to an old pistol, and a blackened rope, all of them were sold by Dazai at the auction a few days ago. It was photographed with Hua Bailan's money.

"Zhijun, do you have so much free time as the leader of Hong Kong gangsters?" Bai Lan, who was sitting behind the desk, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and asked aloud.

"Because I found a free laborer." Dazai opened the bottle of poisonous wine and sniffed it, then threw it aside in distaste, "It's been a long time since Gang Hei has encountered any major problems. Unlike Bai Lanjun, you have to be busy snatching and Annexing the 'inheritance' of the Murino family and strengthening the power of the Jesso family, I haven't encountered such an 'interesting' thing for a long time."

"Aren't you worried that the 'free labor' you hired swallowed up your 'family property'?"

"Oh, how could Mr. Bai Lan say that? That can't be called "my family property". "

Dazai relaxed his body and leaned on the back of the chair, his posture was loose and casual: "Becoming the leader of Hong Kong gangsters is just a means I choose to achieve a certain goal. Now, it is dispensable to me."

His gaze fell into the distance, quiet and far-reaching.His tone was calm and unwavering, as if he was describing a very normal thing.

If someone else said that, Bai Lan would definitely sneer in his heart and say "more hypocritical than himself", but it was Dazai who said this, so there would be absolutely no falsehood at all.

Even so, Bai Lan kindly reminded her.

"The alternation of power in the mafia is often accompanied by countless blood and killings. Zhijun, not everyone is like you, who will be so kind as to leave the former leader alive."

Dazai blinked, showing a sudden realization expression.

He clenched his fist with his right hand, lightly hammered the palm of his left palm, and said, "You reminded me! Well... Sure enough, let Mr. Sen seize the power, and I will take the opportunity to feign death, so that I can be with Qianzijiang without any delay. .”

Seeing that Dazai equated "Hong Kong black" with "drag", even a person like Bai Lan couldn't help but feel sympathy for Dazai's subordinates.Then, very naturally, he also used the word "drag".

"—but this 'drag' will make things easier for you, won't it?"

"You're right," Dazai put away his exaggerated expression, he smiled lightly, his eyes shimmering, "I still need to sit in this position for the time being, so let Mr. Mori wait. "

In Bai Lan's memory, he had never seen Dazai show such an expression.

Whether it's when she's smiling or not, there will never be a slight ups and downs in those iris-colored eyes.It seems that the soul that has already decayed and died is held by a slender rope, so it has not disappeared from this world.

Bai Lan once thought that when the thin thread broke, it was the time when Dazai embraced death, but now he saw another possibility.

In all fairness, he thought it was fine. ——If there were no Osamu Dazai in this world, it would probably be a lot less fun.

Therefore, he is quite lucky now that someone suddenly jumped seven years ago and jumped from the roof of the Hong Kong Building, but did not have a close contact with the earth, but was caught by a tree branch, and only suffered a shattered fracture .

Thinking this way in her heart, Bai Lan gave Dazai the order to chase away the guests again: "I think it's better for you to go back quickly, otherwise Mr. Zhongye, who has just recovered from his injuries, may be angry and sent to the hospital again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dazai's cell phone rang.

It was Nakahara Chuya who called, but it was strange that he didn't yell at a certain leader for throwing the work to his subordinates.

After listening to Chuya's report in silence, Dazai suddenly laughed, and he hung up the phone after he answered.

"Mr. Bai Lan, as you wish, I'm leaving."

Before leaving, Dazai did not forget to present all the antique-level suicide items to Bailan, euphemistically calling it "repaying his money".

Bai Lan glanced at the closed door, and then at the "garbage" items on the table over there. He notified his subordinates to come over with his smile unchanged, packed all those items and threw them into the warehouse without seeing them.

……

A few days later, Rome International Airport.

After dealing with the affairs in Italy, Michiko is ready to return home.

Before the plane took off, she finally had time to check the backlog of messages on her phone.

Because by default, anyone who is in a hurry will contact her in person or by phone, so once she gets busy, she often misses or misses some messages on her mobile phone.

Turning to the last message sent by "Mackerel", Michiko edited a reply and sent it, then put the phone away.

-

……

Mackerel: Is there anything I can do for you?

[The above message is as of x days ago]

Michiko: Sorry, Mr. Mackerel, I'm too busy to read the news these days.I would like to ask your help to investigate a person's profile.

-

It takes twelve hours at the fastest to fly from Italy to Japan. In this short period of half a day, Ye Jian on Guochang Road suddenly disappeared from the stronghold of "Feishiyuan".

At that time, Michiko was still on the plane, and the Ozhu Tower in Tokyo received the news from Italy first.

Since Yizhi and Kanae were ordered to investigate why the medicine of the Pharmaceutical Research Department was lost outside, the person responsible for receiving and handling this emergency became Oda.

When Michiko returned to the Ozhu Tower, Oda had already dealt with it and was going to report to her.

"—Guochang Road Yejian disappeared? What's going on?"

Michiko never expected that such a big thing would happen not long after she left Italy.

"According to subsequent investigations, one hour after King and you left Italy, suspicious people began to appear around the stronghold. The "Rabbit" members who were hidden in the dark were led away by them, and the members of the "Non-Time Institute" who stayed at the stronghold Although he raised his vigilance, he was still turned around.Our initial judgment shows that your whereabouts may have been leaked. "

After listening to Oda's report, Michiko fell into deep thought.

The exact time of her departure from Italy is only known to Yan Jieya, the member of the "Feishiyuan" who is in charge of sending the plane off, and the person in charge of the temporary base.The three of them are people Michiko trusts. If there is no clear direction, she doesn't want to doubt them for no reason, and she always feels that the key problem is not here.

Michiko tapped the table a few times with her fingertips, and ordered: "This is the end of the matter, let them come back first. The remaining members of the "Rabbit" will be responsible for finding the night meeting on Guochang Road. "

"By the way, Oda," Michiko stopped the deputy who was about to leave, thinking of what Kunito Yemi had said, "Did you remember anything in the past few years after you lost your memory?"

Oda shook his head: "No. From the time I decided not to be a killer to being rescued by A Zhi from the water, I can't remember anything that happened in between. The end of the road."

Michiko was thoughtful, this situation was the same as what Kunito Yejian said, but it was a little different from hers.She thought about it, and decided to let Oda first follow the information disclosed by Guochang Road Yejian to find the supernatural person with the ability to steal memories.

"Oda, there is something—"

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the office was slammed open from the outside.

Miyata Izue walked in in a hurry, she saw Michiko and Oda who were obviously discussing something, she was slightly taken aback.

"Sorry, King, I didn't know you were…"

Michiko raised her hand to signal her not to care: "You are in such a hurry, what happened?"

Miyata Kazue calmed down his somewhat disturbed breathing due to rushing here, and then replied: "You have asked me and Kanae to investigate. We found out the key person who caused the loss of medicine and took him to the hospital. In the interrogation room, I finally found out the truth of the matter just now."

The drug that was lost in "Untimely Institute" was developed by Kanae five years ago to deal with super criminals.Because the superpowers who are empowered by the slate, that is, the so-called outsiders, will have a certain increase in their physical indicators.If you use the means to deal with ordinary criminals, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to subdue them.

The drugs developed by Kanae are similar in function to anesthetics, but when used on outsiders, they can limit their special abilities for a certain period of time.There are very strict regulations on the production and use of this drug, and at least the permission of three of them, Michiko, Ichie, Oda, and Kanae, is required, and every use will be recorded.

According to the results of Yizhi's interrogation, what was lost was not a finished product but a semi-finished product, so it has not been discovered so far.

"—You used the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Eye"? "

Michiko notices that the glasses are missing from Kazue Miyata's face.The pair of heterochromatic pupils that were usually hidden were exposed in this way, and the red pupil of the left eye glowed with a coquettish light, filling that serious face with a sense of charm.

Miyata Kazue didn't deny it: "It's a bit weird, I didn't let them use the usual interrogation methods. But fortunately, it didn't work, because the key person is innocent and very conscientious."

"...According to this person, five years ago he received a secret mission conveyed by 'Oda' himself, asking him to send out some semi-finished medicines in time, and absolutely not let anyone other than him, Oda and King People know. Oda will go to Italy soon, and this person will not be able to meet King, and naturally he will not have the opportunity to verify the authenticity of the mission."

Michiko frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's Oda?"

"That's right," Kazue Miyata rubbed his forehead, as if he was a little out of spirits, "I used some methods to judge the authenticity, and what this person saw was indeed 'Oda'. From the tone of speech to some small movements, everything It’s exactly the same, even I can’t tell the truth from the fake.”

The truth of the matter is really unexpected.

Michiko turned her gaze to Oda, and as expected, the red-haired young man showed no guilt, panic, surprise or strangeness on his face.To be precise, I couldn't see what he was thinking.

"That's not me," Oda said, "I wouldn't be that stupid."
