Those days of traveling in Yokohama

? After accepting Mami Ikemoto's thanks, Akutagawa Ryunosuke returned to Yokohama by car.

When I returned to the detective agency, it was in the afternoon, and Edogawa Ranpo happened to come back after solving an incident. Akutagawa Ryunosuke hesitated for a while, but decided to ask Edogawa Ranpo.

Although I haven't been in contact with Edogawa Ranpo for a long time, it still left an impression on Ryunosuke Akutagawa. If you don't know something, just ask Edogawa Ranpo, Edogawa Ranpo is omnipotent!

Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Edogawa Ranpo roughly described what happened in the incident, "According to Nakae Minata, if this incident was really planned by Yoshiko Yoshii, but did Yoshii Yoshiko have an accident in Ikemoto Ari?" It's been a while since I had a car accident, I always feel that Yoshiko's accident is a bit weird..."

"Look at this." Edogawa Ranpo handed Akutagawa Ryunosuke a notebook, which was filled with clips from newspapers from other countries. Edogawa Ranpo signaled Akutagawa Ryunosuke to read the top one reports.

This incident happened in the United States a month and a half ago. It is roughly about a family of three traveling to the United States, but they encountered gangsters/gangs/fighting/fighting, and all of them died in an accident.

Although the newspaper did not say who the accident was, the photos in the newspaper made Akutagawa Ryunosuke recognize that the accident was Yoshii Yoshiko.

Yoshii Yoshiko did travel to the United States with her parents, but she was the only one who came back.

"This is Yoshiko, if Yoshiko died a month and a half ago, who is the person who planned the death of Ari Ikemoto?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt a little confused, that person obviously looked exactly like Yoshiko.

Yoshii Yoshiko doesn't seem to have twin sisters.

"Ari Ikemoto also found out that this matter is wrong, and she also left a reminder for you." Although Edogawa Ranpo did not participate in this incident, he knew all the details of the incident clearly.

Ari Ikemoto did not provide many clues to Akutagawa Ryunosuke, only one to be precise.

Fallen Flowers—

Isn't that what Ari Ikemoto is reminding their students?

"That's just a relatively obvious content." Edogawa Ranpo reminded.

[It is the name of an American movie starring Sharon Wynyard]

Akutagawa Ryunosuke suddenly thought of a sentence that Kudo Shinichi had said to him, "Is this what Sharon Wynyard Ikemoto Aiden wants to remind?" Does this have anything to do with this incident?

Edogawa Ranpo finally nodded in satisfaction this time, "You know very well that the dose of poison in Minata Nakae's hands is too large, and the only possibility for getting such a large dose is that Minata Nakae might have The method of contacting the drug/dealer, even Nakae Minato may be an important person in this chain."

Drug/drug trading has always been a very important business. Once you get involved with this, you can make a lot of money.

"Is that why the person impersonating Yoshii Yoshiko came here for Minata Nakae?" But this still has nothing to do with the clues left by Ari Ikemoto.

"Sharon Wynyard is a high-level Belmode of the transnational criminal organization Black Organization. She has a nickname on the dark web, called the Thousand Transformation Witch." This describes Belmode's makeup and disguise skills.

"The real Yoshiko will have an accident, probably because of the organization in black, she wants to use Yoshiko's identity to get close to Minata Nakae.

But unfortunately, Ari Ikemoto met the real Yoshiko Yoshiko. She is a very talented painter, and she discovered the subtle difference between Belmod and Yoshii Yoshiko.

She even found out Belmode's true identity. She was very careful, but she was noticed by Belmod. I guess Ari Ikemoto would find out that those students were taking drugs, probably under the guidance of Belmod. "

After Edogawa Ranpo finished speaking, Akutagawa Ryunosuke understood it all at once, no wonder it was like this, that woman really deserves her title of Thousand Transformation Witch.

With the help of a woman who wanted to discover her identity, she got rid of the person she had always wanted to get rid of, even cleaned up all her evidence, and blamed all the crimes on Nakae Minata.

It's just a simple method to get a black industrial chain.

"Then Nakae Minato said that he did not use sleeping pills, but a special potion given to him by Belmode. Was that potion also from that organization?" This was what Nakae Minato said before getting into the police car. I have given up struggling, so what I said should be true.

"That's right, if Nakae Minata really used sleeping pills, then this incident would have ended at that time." Although those people in the police are a bit stupid, Edogawa Ranpo is also very clear, and those people will definitely check Has Ari Ikemoto been forced to take any special medicine?

Even the police haven't found this drug, so it definitely can't be an ordinary sleeping pill.

"Okay, okay, we don't care about this matter, Mr. Niihara, have you already got those two things?" Edogawa Ranpo is not interested in the resolved incidents, he is more interested now is another thing.

Has Akutagawa Ryunosuke obtained a certificate that allows those two children to go to school, and a certificate that the two children have been registered under Akutagawa Ryunosuke's household registration.

Although in Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning, if Akutagawa Ryunosuke can help Ikemoto Mami solve this matter, he should be able to get this matter.

why should

Although Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning is powerful, he can't grasp things like people's hearts. Some things may be different from the beginning, and they will be different from the ultimate goal.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded. When he was dealing with the incident, he did mention that he had adopted two children when chatting with Ikemoto Mami, and he also said that he was thinking about which school to send these two children to.

But at that time, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was just talking about this with Mami Ikemoto as a casual chat. The reason why Mami Ikemoto mentioned this was because Mami Ikemoto mentioned her sister Ari Ikemoto, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa also naturally mentioned his current status. younger siblings.

Unexpectedly, after the incident ended, Mami Ikemoto gave herself two proofs. One proof was that the household registration of the two children was transferred to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and the other proof was a letter of recommendation written by Mami Ikemoto.

The recommended school is the Teidan Kingdom where Kudo Shinichi is now.

Although I am very grateful to Ikemoto Mami for his help, Akutagawa Ryunosuke still has some entanglements. His workplace is in Yokohama. Although he needs to travel occasionally, he is free to ask for leave.

But in a sense, he is still separated from the children. The two children are not very old, just the age when adults are needed...

"Mr. Niihara, my suggestion is to let them go to Tokyo to study. The danger in Yokohama is beyond your imagination. Although this will not affect you, it will definitely affect those two children, just like you and Oda Saku the words said."

When you adopted those kids, the kids became your weakness.

"I will think about it, thank you Ranpo-san." Akutagawa Ryunosuke rubbed Edogawa Ranpo's hair.

Edogawa Ranpo patted Akutagawa Ryunosuke's hand angrily. He didn't want to help, but just promised that guy to take good care of the person in front of him, "I want a big portion of thick dim sum from that family!"

"Okay." Akutagawa Ryunosuke responded with a good temper.

Compared with the warm atmosphere of the Armed Detective Agency, the atmosphere of the Port Mafia is much more condensed.

Osamu Dazai stood in the chief's office with an indifferent expression, because no one spoke in the office, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point for a while.

"Dazai, don't you have anything to explain to me?" Mori Ogai was processing documents, and Mori Ogai would look up at Osamu Dazai every time he processed a document.

Now Mori Ogai's documents have all been processed, but Dazai Osamu has not said a word from the very beginning until now.

Mori Ogai also has nothing to do with his disciple, although he knows very well whoever speaks first in this matter will bow his head first.

But Osamu Dazai kept silent, and Mori Ogai also felt a little helpless.

"There's nothing to explain." Osamu Dazai blinked his eyes with a simple and harmless expression.

Sen Ou was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Is this what he wanted to hear?As a disciple of his, at some point, he couldn't see clearly.

"What I want to ask is that Oda Sakunosuke doesn't seem to be in the organization anymore. I asked other people. It was Dazai Osamu who approved the resignation report of Oda Sakunosuke." He even concealed this from him.

Mori Ogai is very clear that Oda Sakunosuke doesn't want to kill people, but he can't let go of a person with great value. Although Mori Ogai hasn't figured it out yet, Oda Sakunosuke is indeed on the list of people he is using .

As a result, he was let go by Osamu Dazai before he could take advantage of it.

"Oh, so Mr. Mori, you are talking about this matter." Osamu Dazai suddenly realized, "I thought you were going to tell me that I blew up the little man's car. Take revenge."

Mori Ogai laughed out of anger, but he could see that Osamu Dazai wanted to anger him on purpose, "So can you tell me the reason?"

"It's very simple. Mr. Mori, you are too stingy. Odasaku said that he would not be able to eat, so he quit." Osamu Dazai was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

The job of the port mafia is to walk on the death line, and accidents are easy to happen if you are not careful, so even the bottom of the port mafia, the wages are not low.

"I'm curious, where is the job that can compare to the wages of the port mafia." Mori Ogai gritted his teeth, a little annoyed.

"Mr. Mori, I'm not a pervert, Oda Saku is just my friend, I don't need to ask everything." Osamu Dazai gave Mori Ogai an innocent look.

Ogai Mori heard the connotation that Osamu Dazai was being aboveboard and that he was a pervert, but if he asked Osamu Dazai, Ogai Dazai would definitely wave his hands innocently, saying that he was thinking too much.

Forget it, these things can be checked very quickly, and Dazai shouldn't be able to ask anything here. Mori Ogai waved his hand, indicating that Dazai Osamu can go out.

The two transparent glasses collided, and Osamu Dazai had already told Oda Sakunosuke everything that happened to him in the office of the head of the Hong Kong gangster today.

"Odasaku, I'm sorry, Mr. Mori has already known about your matter. Although I have temporarily fooled you with other reasons, Mr. Mori will definitely investigate the reason why you left Hong Kong."

By that time, Oda Sakunosuke's adoption of five children will definitely be exposed in front of Mori Ogai, and the only way now is to leave Yokohama.

"I know, I am very grateful to you, Dazai, for helping me." Oda Sakunosuke nodded, he knew very well that it was only a matter of time before Mori Ogai knew about it.

"I should be leaving Yokohama soon." Oda Sakunosuke took a sip of wine, was silent for a long time, and finally said this sentence.

"Oda Sakunosuke, are you leaving Yokohama?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke took a sip of his wine. He didn't expect that Oda Sakunosuke was still struggling before, but now he made a decision so quickly.

"I think you're right, the kids need to go to school, Yokohama is not safe for them, and I don't want them to go the way I did.

I also talked to the president about this, and he said that the detective agency also has a lot of commissions in Tokyo, and it is very convenient to have a member there, as long as I come back once in a while..."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't know that this was just the Armed Detective Agency trying to help him. Oda Sakunosuke felt very lucky to meet such a group of friends.

"Here." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face was stained with a large blush from drinking, but his eyes were still clear. Akutagawa Ryunosuke handed Oda Sakunosuke a key.

"This is" Oda Sakunosuke took the key with some doubts.

"The key to my house in Tokyo, the other set is for Ryunosuke and Xiaoyin to live in, and the other set is vacant, so it's better to let you live in it, so that you don't need to rent a house." Akutagawa Ryunosuke supported it with his hands With his head tilted, he looked at Oda Sakunosuke.

"Nihara..." Oda Sakunosuke didn't know what to say for a moment.

"The two children of my family live next door. I need to trouble you to take care of them for me. Ryunosuke is still angry with me."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke also felt a little helpless, why was that child so stubborn, he just wanted to send that child to school, why did he feel that he wanted to abandon him?

Could it be that I didn't care enough about him?

"Hey, it turns out that Mr. Niihara actually has two houses in Tokyo." Osamu Dazai stretched out two fingers in disbelief.

"Isn't this normal?" Ango Sakaguchi lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, "Xinhara doesn't have the habit of self-shaking, let alone the habit of losing his wallet."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is the richest person among them. When he found out Akutagawa Ryunosuke's resume, even he was shocked. What kind of rich man is this?

First, there are two not-so-small villas in Tokyo, where land is very expensive. The money earned from work or investment is not a small sum.

"Ango, you are going too far." Osamu Dazai glanced at Ango Sakaguchi accusingly.

Ango Sakaguchi touched his nose, isn't what he said the truth?

"But if Sakuno Oda is going to Tokyo, it means we don't have much time to get together." Ango Sakaguchi frowned subconsciously. He and Osamu Dazai work in Yokohama, and they want to meet Sakunosuke Oda in Tokyo. It is still difficult to meet.

"Then would you like to take a photo as a souvenir, I can take it for you." Ryunosuke Akutagawa obediently raised his hand as if he were a student answering a teacher's question in class.

"Then trouble Mr. Niihara." Osamu Dazai nodded. They also had a group photo here in their previous life. After the group photo, the three of them went their separate ways...

That photo was like the last group photo before the farewell. In this life, the photo was taken a lot earlier, but the ending is completely different.

The smile on Dazai Osamu's face became more real. As Dazai Osamu's good friend, both Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango could clearly see this change.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's movements were quick, and the photo happened to freeze Osamu Dazai's smile.

"It's finished, let's see." Ryunosuke Akutagawa shook the camera, and handed the camera to Sakunosuke Oda first.

"Well, it's really rare for Dazai to show such a smile, but it's still pretty." Oda Sakunosuke stared at the smile on Dazai's face in the photo, stunned for a moment.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't know how to describe Dazai Osamu's smile, and in the end he could only attribute it to Dazai Osamu who looked better than usual.

I don't know whether it's because of his drunkenness or what, but Ango Sakaguchi leaned over to Osamu Dazai and whispered, "Dazai, if you need anything in the future, remember to ask me for help."

Osamu Dazai was taken aback for a moment, but still nodded, "Okay, I remember what you said now."

In this way, if other members of the port mafia heard it, they would definitely not be able to help laughing. No matter in terms of status or status, Osamu Dazai's status is much higher than that of Ango Sakaguchi.

If Osamu Dazai needs help from others, Ango Sakaguchi may not be able to help him.

However, Osamu Dazai is very clear about the true identity of Ango Sakaguchi. He is an undercover agent sent by the Supernatural Secret Service Division to the port mafia.

Although Oda Sakunosuke once had the experience of being a killer, but during this period of time at the bottom of the gangsters in Hong Kong is still quiet, there is no need to clean up, otherwise Ango will definitely complain about the need to clean up one more person.

The current Ango should not have revealed his identity as an undercover agent... Osamu Dazai's thoughts drifted further and further away, until he was pulled back by someone.

"Dazai, do you want to change your job too?" The person next to Osamu Dazai changed to Ryunosuke Akutagawa at some point, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa was already drunk, and his eyes became a little dull.

"Then what kind of job do you think I'm suitable for?" Osamu Dazai's tone changed from the usual, and became much more excited. A drunken teacher Niihara is really rare.

"Detective, writing, whatever." Akutagawa Ryunosuke thought for a while, "I think you and Oda Saku can both become great writers, and of course Ango can too!"

"Why?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke's words were too sure, which made Dazai Osamu a little curious.

"Because..." You are all great writers... Ryunosuke Akutagawa fell asleep leaning on the table before finishing his sentence.
