The winery boss is also loading salted fish today

When Ao Kurosawa and Osamu Dazai were having a so-called friendly exchange, in the coffee shop downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency, Kunikida Doppo had a rare and comfortable rest time.

"But Mr. Dazai is really positive this time."

Tanizaki Junichiro thought with a sigh, that person obviously only thinks about how to skip work.

"...No, we can't let our guard down so early," Kunikida said cautiously, "Suddenly the enthusiasm for work is so high, to be honest, I have an ominous premonition."

Tanizaki Junichiro: "...It was really hard work."

If the target is Mr. Dazai, Kunikida's behavior is completely understandable.

Kunikida Doppo looked solemn, "He took the initiative to find someone for no reason. Now that I think about the purpose of that bastard Dazai, it is really doubtful."

Tanizaki Junichiro: "It's not for no reason, it seems that there is a reason."

"what?"

Tanizaki Junichiro scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "I also heard from Mr. Ranpo."

"Yes, that person himself sent an invitation to Dazai-san."

Osamu Dazai looked at Ao Kurosawa quietly for a while, and then said slowly, with exaggerated regret in his tone, "Ah, I'm completely unmoved, I thought that the words just now would more or less make Ao Kurosawa Zejun, you need to shake it up."

Kurosawa also sighed pretentiously, "I'm the one here, thanks to the fact that I thought I had said something really exciting, but Dazai-kun, you didn't listen at all, you just paid attention to me, an ordinary to mediocre guy?"

The two looked at each other hypocritically.

Each of them is very clear that exploring how the other party learned is a meaningless act. To describe it, this is completely endless reincarnation.

What: "I know who you are": "I know who you are too", and honestly going on like this, nine times out of ten it will become: "I know you know" and: "I know you know too" like this There are hardly any end-of-the-line tongue twisters.

There's no point in wasting time on this.

Kurosawa Ao was the first to break the deadlock.

"Well, I probably understand how you got here. But then again, I just defuse a bomb at random. Is it necessary for your company to mobilize people to send an outstanding talent like you, Dazai-kun?"

"There is no real intersection between the organization and the armed detective agency." Kurosawa tilted his head slightly, sighing in a low voice, "But because of my identity, there are always many people who want to catch me and threaten the boss. But as far as I know, your company should not be a guy who makes such stupid judgments."

The appearance of the white-haired young man at this moment is no different from what Osamu Dazai saw in the surveillance. It is a disguise that makes it difficult to place suspicion on him.

Osamu Dazai looked at him with great interest, and then said nonchalantly:

"But, wasn't Kurosawa-kun yourself the one who invited me here first?"

Kurosawa's expression still hasn't changed much, he tilted his head as if thinking about when he had such an invitation.

"It seems Dazai-kun hasn't cleared the toxins from the poisonous mushrooms in his mind. This is the first time we've met. I have no reason to invite a stranger who has nothing to do with me or the organization."

Osamu Dazai rubbed his chin lightly with his fingers, "It seems that I didn't make it clear. Kurosawa-kun did not invite me specifically. To be precise, I saw your 'invitation', so I came here on purpose. trip."

While speaking, Osamu Dazai took out a few withered rose petals from the pocket of the long windbreaker, which were exactly the roses that were put together with the bomb that had been disassembled.

Although the bomb that was suddenly solved by someone did arouse Osamu Dazai's interest at first, but this deviation did not keep him interested for too long.Finding that guy on the monitor after Bomb Maniac directly exhausted this little bit of interest.

Although the answer is somewhat unexpected, Osamu Dazai has absolutely no enthusiasm for things that can already determine the ending.

Anyway, all he needs to do next is to find the bomb that disappeared. In fact, he doesn't even want to do this, because the directivity is too obvious, and the culprit almost didn't tell the answer directly.

As for the remaining troublesome matter of how to deal with it, Osamu Dazai wanted to push it to Kunikida who was always busy as usual.

Until he saw those few roses.

"Actually, it was just a little strange at the beginning. Because although the bomb was put together with the roses at the beginning, the number of roses in the bouquet that originally contained the bomb did not decrease. That is to say, the trash can The few roses that appeared in the book were extra."

The person who dealt with the bomb probably did it at first because it affected him, but adding a few more roses when throwing out the trash is simply the most meaningless extravagance.

And a person who is so meticulous that he even considers the position of the dead corner of the monitor, will he really contradict himself to do such a meaningless thing?

If he is so contradictory that he avoids monitoring while leaving an obvious message, then there are only two possibilities, either the other party is a schizophrenic fool, or——

That was the intention of the other party.

"Thanks to my last job," Osamu Dazai stared at Ao Kurosawa for a moment, but his voice was very bright, "I am quite familiar with most of the code words in the other world. Your invitation from Kurosawa-kun , which means this."

When the roses were found, the arrangement of them and the parts, as well as the number of missing petals, if translated according to the rules of the general code language in the inner world, it would be——

"It means 'come here', and I attached my current address by the way." It was Ao Kurosawa who spoke with a natural expression, "This is just the most common connection code, and it's okay for members to use this to communicate with each other Question. That's not the word 'invitation'."

"Isn't this an invitation?" Osamu Dazai suddenly laughed.

A code word that can be easily understood by almost anyone who has been in the other world, hidden in a place that can be found casually, and deliberately put together with his key clues, isn't it the same as saying— —

Osamu Dazai said word by word, his voice cold and soft, "'I am right here, please come and kill me'."

And so far, how many stupid hunters have been led here by this inferior bait, trying to hunt down the so-called canaries?

"Well, actually, I don't want to deal with such troublesome things." Dazai Osamu returned to his original foolishness in an instant, "If it wasn't for the favor of a certain chief of the Secret Service, he came all the way from Yokohama It's really a crime."

Kurosawa looked at him quietly, and suddenly smiled and said, "How should I put it, although the information says that you, Dazai-kun, took the initiative to rebel, but now that I think about it, maybe this is what the leader of Mori actually expected Woolen cloth."

"After all, if my subordinate is such a guy, I'm afraid I will be so restless every day that I can't sleep all night."

"Huh? Isn't this each other?" Dazai Osamu pretended to be surprised, then narrowed his eyes slightly, "After all, I was not interested in the position of the leader at the time."
