She decided to confess to him

76

ten days later.

Armed Detective Agency.

"Kunikida, I heard that you missed a commission not long ago?"

Kunikida Doppo stopped what he was doing, and answered without hesitation, "Yes, Mr. Ranpo."

"Oh, what about the casualties?"

"1 innocent person was killed and 6 were injured." He sighed, "The blaster originally planned to carry out the bombing plan at the concert, but a woman saw through his intention and lured him to a remote off-site. The bomb exploded, and the woman and the blaster Both hands are gone."

"...she is so brave." Others in the detective agency sighed.

"However, she was hit by C4 explosives close to her body, and she died in a miserable state, with blood and blood." Kunikida said unbearably, "It is said that she is also an Internet celebrity."

"who is it?"

"Imai Sumiya."

"what."

"She."

"It turned out to be her."

Kunikida didn't expect to get so many responses for a single name, and asked, "You all know her?"

Tanizaki Naomi said sadly: "Since Mr. Dazai showed me her video, I have followed her for several months, and I usually like watching her video."

Atsushi Nakajima: "Ah... I also watched her video. Mr. Dazai asked me to watch it."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Ditto, Dazai recommended it to me."

Kunikida's eyes fell on the last person who didn't make a sound.

Osamu Dazai, his partner, was lazily leaning on the back of the office chair with an unpredictable expression.

"Do you know her, Dazai?"

"No." Osamu Dazai shook his head and pondered, "I don't know."

"Then why do you recommend her video to other people?" Almost everyone in the office recommended it.

"Because I think she has great potential—Dun Jun, don't look at me like that. It's not the potential to commit suicide, but the potential to have supernatural powers."

Under the curious eyes of everyone in the room, Dazai didn't hold back, and straightforwardly explained the reason why he paid attention to Sumiya Imai.

"Kunikida-kun, can you tell us about the situation when the incident happened?" Dazai asked.

"Yes." Kunikida nodded, and began to tell everyone.

Although Imai Sumiya was not there when he lured the blaster, he later learned the whole story through the incomplete surveillance camera playback.

That day, after the friend of the deceased named Sato Maki calmed down a little, the police station also sorted out the relevant monitoring.

They watched the video together, and saw that not long after Sato Maki left the seat, Imai Sumiya exchanged a few words with the people next to him, and also left the seat, but not in the direction of the toilet, but disappeared in a corner that could not be photographed .

When she reappeared, it was she hanging on a man with a mask on his face.

"That's the man!"

The man was obviously a fugitive criminal, and the police officer who had been following him for a while recognized him by his figure.

"Pause here."

The video pauses and zooms in, and you can see Imai Sumiya with affectionate eyebrows and a smile on his lips, being imprisoned in the arms of the man forcefully, without a trace of reluctance, as if she posted it on her own initiative.

A young policeman whispered: "Did they know each other before? Couldn't this woman take the initiative?"

Imai Sumiya's expression on the screen is so docile and natural, no wonder he is so suspicious.

But Sato Maki suddenly turned his head to look at him, with red eyes, and said word by word: "Impossible. I don't know if Xiao Imai knows him, but Imai is not such a person."

Seeing her react violently, the little police officer realized that he had slipped his words, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Kunikida Doppo asked calmly, "Why do you say that?"

Maki Sato: "Little Imai has received professional acting training, and she can be the best actor when necessary." She lowered her voice and murmured, "Also, Xiao Imai has someone she likes. She likes it That person has been around for a long time..." I was going to confess to him today.

If it was not a last resort, how could her proud young lady seduce men other than Mr. Dazai, and in such an embarrassing and extremely disgraceful way.

"I understand." Kunikida Doppo said.

In the video, it is not so much the Demoman who forces Imai Sumiya out, but Imai Sumiya dragging him away from the crowd.

When the video outside the venue was played, the matter became clearer: the blaster seemed to regret it and wanted to turn around, but Sumiya Imai used his own body to stop him in his tracks.

The two figures stumbled away hugging each other, and the monitoring room fell silent.

"Your friend is a worthy hero," they said to Maki Sato.

However, at that time, the girl had already covered her face in front of the screen where the video had ended and wept uncontrollably.

"What she possesses is the power of spiritual suggestion." Dazai said, "It can amplify the emotional perception of the recipient through her expression, demeanor, movements, and most importantly, eye contact within a certain range."

"This kind of influence is difficult to detect, because the emotional responses caused by the human body's senses receiving information are complex and diverse, each of which is real, and Imai's supernatural ability can make one of them more obvious without anyone noticing. For example Anger, hate, or pleasure, love. And the affected person is unaware of the fact that he is being manipulated."

Kunikida doubted: "Then how do you know this is her supernatural ability? What if this is the original emotional reaction."

It makes sense for a criminal with a death wish to have another shot with the woman who came to his door before he died, not necessarily because of Imai Sumiya's influence.

Osamu Dazai shook his head slightly: "That's why I showed her video to everyone in the agency."

He said: "Acting skills that can fool Mr. Ranpo - how could it be pure acting skills? There must be some special abilities in it."

"Oh~"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Kunikida Doppo looked at Edogawa Ranpo who was sitting on the other side, and saw the famous detective raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, but did not deny it.In his heart, he believed Dazai Osamu's judgment more or less, but, "It's useless to say these things now."

People are gone.

"that's too regretful."

Dazai said.

"I haven't gotten to know you well yet."

In the tavern, when the woman entered, the air was silent for a moment.

A confident, lazy and comfortable young lady, she must not know how dazzling she is, attracting the attention of all guests like a magnet.

Including Osamu Dazai.

In the eyes of everyone, Imai Sumiya walked towards him.

When she came over, she was even more beautiful, with rippling eyes, as if she was ready to smile at any time.

Osamu Dazai can negate Imai Sumiya's ability, so he admires her beauty and cuteness from the bottom of his heart.

She came closer.If you ask her to sit opposite me at this time, will she agree?

As soon as such thoughts came to mind, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated in a terrible way.

It was a pity, but he had to miss this potentially beautiful date.

Osamu Dazai brushed past her, and the faint fragrance of the beauty wafted from his nose.

Goodbye, Imai Sumiya.

Looking forward to the next time we meet, then I invite you to sit down and have a drink, beautiful lady.
