How to raise Dazai gently

So Dazai Zhizhi stretched out his hand to Mori Ogai confidently: "Mr. Mori, give me your black card."

The current Dazai Osamu has not been completely blackened by the big dye vat of the port mafia, otherwise he probably would not ask Mori Ogai for it at all, but took it directly from Mori Ogai's pocket.

"..." Mori Ogai was silent for a while, and finally found out the wallet, took out the credit card and handed it to Osamu Dazai.

"As expected of Mr. Mori's black card, it looks really high-end-this card should have no limit?" Osamu Dazai looked at the black card in his hand and asked.

"Of course there is a quota. After all, I'm just a poor black doctor." Mori Ogai knew what the kid was up to when he heard Dazai Osamu's words, and he showed a kind smile: "So you spend How much is owed to me."

"If Mr. Mori is so stingy, no one will like you." Osamu Dazai curled his lips, receiving a hint from Mori Ogai.

"You use my money to go on a date with Kong Shi, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Why would it be embarrassing? I can make Mr. Sen willing to pay for me to support Kongshi. Is this also my skill?"

Dazai Zhizhi said bluntly.

Osamu Dazai is now attached to him and has no source of income, but his date is the new god of the port mafia, Kongyo Araki. Mori Ogai can guarantee that if Osamu Dazai has any negligence, there is no need for Kongyo Araki himself to take action. The believers will rush up and tear Dazai Osamu and his ostensible guardian apart.

"Ahahaha... Then I wish you a successful date." Mori Ogai spread his hands, indicating that Osamu Dazai can go to prepare.

The play that Osamu Dazai wanted to ask Araki Sora to watch was "Nibelungen". It is said that it is an epic-level play carefully crafted by foreign theater troupes, and it has reached the point where tickets are hard to find.

However, following the power of the port mafia, Osamu Dazai managed to get two tickets for the VIP seats.

Before the day of the date, Osamu Dazai had hesitated for a long time about what clothes he should wear. He was not interested in what clothes to wear at first, but since he was going on a date, he must not dress too poorly.

But this time Osamu Dazai did not bother Mori Ogai. The current leader of the port mafia seemed to be deteriorating again. He could barely sit in a wheelchair to handle work before, but now he can only lie on the bed and cannot move.

Even Araki Kongyo could only relax his mind a little in the past, but it was useless to his body, so Mori Ogai was worrying about what medicine and dosage to use to prolong the life of the current leader—before his purpose was not yet reached. before reaching.

For this reason, Mori Ogai has not been able to take a good rest for several days, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get effective advice from him at this time.

In order to make himself look more mature, Osamu Dazai finally chose a black windbreaker that is more figure-defining, because Yokohama has entered autumn recently, making the weather a bit cooler, Osamu Dazai also picked a scarf that is warm enough, because the clothes It was in cool colors. In order not to make his clothes look too cold, he specially picked out a warm-colored scarf and wrapped it around his neck.

Not only that, Osamu Dazai also borrowed a little hairspray to comb and fix the bangs that hadn't been done much, revealing his full forehead.

For this day, he didn't even try those novel suicide methods anymore, and naturally the injuries he suffered from trying various suicide methods did not appear on his body and cheeks.

"Okay, finished!" Osamu Dazai looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Now he looks completely different from the gloomy and indifferent Osamu Dazai in the past. He looks radiant, handsome and upright, but his lips are a little pale.

"Well, do you want to wipe something?" Osamu Dazai frowned in distress, but he let it go again after a while, "No, let's keep it like this."

When Araki Kongyo went to the appointment, Akutagawa Ryunosuke showed great resistance. He didn't like the smiling Dazai Osamu, especially when he didn't know what he said, but unexpectedly moved Araki Kongyo and him The matter of dating aroused the vigilance of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Because Araki Kongyo doesn't care much about things, the work of collecting intelligence falls on Akutagawa Yin and Akutagawa Ryunosuke-although most of the information collection and analysis are done by Akutagawa Yin, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke As a potential super power user, the port mafia also spent a lot of thought to win over him.

Generally speaking, the current leader is old and weak, and the cadres under his command are also thinking about it. The current leader has no children, so one of the five cadres will inherit the position of the port mafia in the future.

Some cadres are loyal to the current leader, as long as the incumbent leader issues orders, they will obey their words, but some cadres are eyeing the tiger, and now they are constantly making small moves, and some cadres are sitting on the sidelines. For them, as long as they can grasp If you have the power at hand now, it doesn't matter whoever takes the position of leader.

But no matter which side it is, Araki Kongshi is the one they want to fight for.

A powerful, materialistic and rare spiritual supernatural being, if he can win Araki Kongshi into his camp, even if one day the current leader doesn't leave any last words, the port mafia will be the most powerful person in the world. Bits will also be in this person's pocket.

Mori Ogai, a little personal doctor who is attached to the current leader, has been in the port mafia for too short a time, so he will do his best to prolong the life of the current leader until his power stabilizes.

It's no wonder that he is in a state of desperation now. After all, the disease can be cured, but the passing of life is an irreversible process.

The theater where "Nibelungen" was staged was the Golden Angel Theater. This theater also operated very well in the depressed economy after the war. The warm orange light shining through the glass windows illuminated the humid night, but these shining But the warm light cannot illuminate the dark alley where the light cannot enter.

The homeless people in those alleys can't get close to these places. Before they get close, they will be driven away by the tall guards.

Osamu Dazai came to the Golden Angel Theater in the car assigned by the port mafia to Mori Ogai, and waited for the arrival of Araki Kongyo in the box.

Today's Araki Kongyo is wearing a pure white suit, his long black hair is carefully pulled up so that he will not be affected during the action, his too long bangs are pinned by a simple silver hair clip, revealing his Full forehead and fair cheeks.

The beauty of Araki Kongyo now seems to be different from the previous one, and even the well-trained theater receptionist can't help but glance at today's distinguished guests frequently.

The corners of Dazai Osamu's mouth sank, he stood up and greeted him voluntarily, then naturally took over the work of the receptionist, and pulled Araki Kongshi to his seat.

"Today's "Nibelungen" seems to have invited a famous Japanese soprano to sing. People in Yokohama are all coming for her. Tickets are hard to come by."

Osamu Dazai introduced it like a few treasures.

"Really, that's really looking forward to it."

Araki Kongyo turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on the stage tightly closed by the curtain.

"Nibelungen" is about a heroic epic, an adventure story with Siegfried as the protagonist, revolving around Rhine's gold, the dragon Fafnir, heroes and villains, loyalty and betrayal, love and being loved , plus the costumes and props are all first-class and exquisite, and there are also a lot of high-class people who came to watch the show before.

Regardless of whether it was to appreciate the repertoire or to be arty, everyone quieted down after the lights dimmed, and their eyes converged on the stage.

The place other than the stage is very dark. If you look away from the stage, you may not be able to see your outstretched hand clearly for a while.

At times like these, murder is the best protagonist.

On the stage, the soprano actress wore a gorgeous dress and slowly walked down from the Roman dome stage. At this time, the play "Nibelungen" also reached the most exciting climax, and Siegfried was about to kill the evil The head of the dragon Fafner, bathed in blood, has since obtained an immortal body.

When the main actor playing Siegfried swung his sword and chopped off the head of the evil dragon Fafnir, the blood that fell from the sky gushed out from the neck of the evil dragon, drenching the actor playing Siegfried all over his head. .

Then the main actor grabbed the head of the evil dragon that fell on the ground and lifted it up high. The curtain slid and closed from both sides, and the scene ended.

“It was amazing!”

"It's so realistic!"

"awesome!"

After the curtain was closed, the audience couldn’t help applauding vigorously. The scene of the blood gushing out after the head was cut off was so realistic and oppressive. They didn’t hesitate to applaud themselves with praise.

However, Osamu Dazai, who was sitting in the open box on the second floor, suddenly sat up straight, staring straight at the stage where the curtain was drawn—he was different from those audiences who thought it was a stage special effect. What comes out is not fake blood, but real, real blood that just flowed from the person.

Osamu Dazai's first reaction was to drag Araki Kongyo away. Although Yokohama is far away from Aomori Prefecture, there are always rumors about the Tsushima family, which is a big wealthy family in the local area, after losing their beloved child. ——Although his face-saving father would probably only take himself as a shame, and then conceal the existence of Shuji Tsushima, as if there was no such person at all.

But Osamu Dazai looked aside and found that Araki Kongshi was watching with relish, and immediately realized that if he disturbed his sweetheart because of this kind of thing, he might not have a second chance—the vicious dog around Araki Kongshi They are worrying about not being able to find a chance, but Osamu Dazai dares to use Mori Ogai's black card to guarantee that these people will swear that Osamu Dazai is implicated in Araki Kongshi.

After weighing it over and over again, Osamu Dazai gave up his plan to leave the stage, sat peacefully in his seat, and watched the show to the end.

After Siegfried got Laing's gold, he used the treasure to propose to a beautiful princess and lived a happy life with her.

But the story does not end here, unfortunately, joy is always short-lived, followed by endless pain.

At this time, Siegfried was still unaware that he was wearing golden armor, holding a holy sword, and galloping away on a horse. Before leaving, he gave the princess the ring of Nibelungen as a token of love, completely Forget the terrible curse.

At this time, a series of conspiracies around him are also unfolding. The villain second fell in love with the princess, and the villain queen also fell in love with Siegfried. When the two of them worked together, they set up a trap together.

The villain queen offered Siegfried the medicinal wine that would make him lose his memory if he drank it. After drinking it, Siegfried immediately forgot about the princess. The ring was stolen.

The conspiracy reached its climax, the princess who was tricked into the castle was heartbroken after seeing Siegfried and the villain queen who were about to get married. Siegfried was indifferent to her, so the princess turned from love to hatred, and revealed the only fatal point of her husband, which was the small piece under the shoulder blades on the back that could not be bathed in dragon blood.

In order to get the Nibelungen ring and the princess, Hagen killed Siegfried and threatened the princess to marry him. At this time, the princess realized that she had made an irreparable mistake. She wrongly blamed her husband, but She endured this grief, devoted herself to her enemies, and endured for 13 years to avenge her enemies.

Satisfied, the princess succeeded in revenge, and after pushing her enemies into hell, she died in the flames with her husband's beloved sword in her arms.

There are many versions of "Nibelungen", and there are many derivative works based on this version. This time, the theater chose the version with the most entanglements and the most complex and changeable human beings.

And in this version, there is no doubt that the real protagonist is not Siegfried, but the princess who was wooed in the play, and because of jealousy and despair, revealed her husband's weakness, and finally realized that she was deceived and spent 13 years of revenge .

This version is very rare because the real protagonist is not Siegfried, but the actress who plays the princess is very good, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the plot and not notice the passage of time.

After the repertoire was finished, it was supposed to be the part where the actors came out to call the curtain, and then the audience exited one by one, but the actors did not appear, but the narrator simply thanked the audience for coming, and ended the performance directly.

Although the audience was puzzled that no actors came out to call the curtain, they finally chose to leave.

Araki Kongyo stood up and said to Osamu Dazai, "Let's go, let's go backstage and have a look."

Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows slightly, he indeed found out that the blood that flowed out was real human blood, but he did not expect that Araki Kongshi, who seemed to be well protected, also found out.

He nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I am willing to accompany Kong Shijun wherever he goes, even if it is hell! Ah, maybe we can hold hands and enjoy the sea of ​​flowers on the other side of the Santu River together! "

The backstage was already in chaos. Although they barely finished the play, what the audience didn't know was that when the prop group who was going to sort out the props for recycling found the dead body in the model of the evil dragon Fafner , this poor employee was directly frightened.

The police had already arrived at the scene and isolated the props from the crowd. Logically speaking, the entire backstage should be surrounded and the theater stopped. The party has a lot of connections, coupled with the particularity of Yokohama itself, the local police are in a weak position and dare not be too tough.

In the end, only the dressing room of the props and the deceased, as well as other exits of the theater, were blocked, and the police could not start investigating the murder until the show was completely over.

It was at this time that Araki Kongshi and Dazai Osamu came backstage.

"This is the backstage, non-staff are not allowed to enter!"

Someone held out their hand to stop them, Osamu Dazai took a step forward, and said solemnly, "We are detectives, and we just witnessed a murder. I think the police will need our help very much."

Osamu Dazai is dressed very maturely today, coupled with his own temperament, people can't tell his real age. The staff who stopped them were dubious, but he also understood what happened in the background. After hesitating for a while, he still turned his head Ask colleagues to notify the police to decide.

Perhaps the Yokohama police were really overwhelmed, and they let them in without even verifying their identities.

Behind the stage is the preparation room for the crew to prepare various props, make up the actors, and enter the stage. Although there are various props and sundries piled up, they are still in order.

The crew members were all sitting in the largest public dressing room, and the police were asking them one by one for their names, positions, and relationship with the deceased.

The deceased was an actor of the crew, and also the actor of Siegfried's group A. The actors in the theater are basically divided into groups A and B. The strength of group A is better, but if there is an accident or needs to rest From time to time, it will be replaced by actors from Group B, which is a common form of large-scale crews.

Originally, today's performance was supposed to be played by the dead Hanamura from Group A. He still appeared in the preview in the morning, but no one could find him before the opening in the afternoon. In the end, he was replaced by Dewei from Group B. superior.

I don't know if I don't investigate, but I will really be shocked by the complicated and entangled interpersonal relationships in this crew.

As his name suggests, the deceased Hanamura was a very handsome playboy. Despite his outstanding acting skills, there were countless women who were dumped after dating him. But even so, there were still many women who fell in love with him because of his handsome appearance and strong connections. Like moths to a flame, they continuously emerged.

Team B played Siegfried's substitute, that is, Deo who played Siegfried instead of him today, not only was snatched away by Hanamura's girlfriend who had been dating for three years and was about to get married, but Hanamura once publicized it everywhere after being drunk. , complacently regarded this as his own victory, and laughed at that Deo will always be his substitute, whether it is work or love.

Hanamura and the two leading actresses who play the princess and the queen also have a complicated relationship, and the actor who plays Siegfried's friend Hagen is also a part of this complicated relationship-it is said that Hanamura seems to be a man and a woman. There are also many men in his hands.

All in all, there are as many as seven or eight people in the crew who hate Hanamura and have the motive to kill him, and most of them are because of emotional entanglements.

"I've said that even though I hate Hanamura, my future is bright. How can I let down my future for a man?"

Mashima, the actor who played the heroine, the princess, folded her arms and sneered.

As for the queen who plays the female number two, Long Hua smiled lazily, lifted her long hair with fragrance, and said lightly: "Oh? Really? How did I hear that some people have a 'bright future', but Did it work thanks to Hanamura's pimping?"

"What do you mean?" Mashima asked coldly.

"What do you think it means, that's what it means."

"Okay, okay, both of you should calm down first, the most important thing now is to quickly end this matter, otherwise it will affect our performance tomorrow!" The theater owner came out to smooth things over.

What is certain is that the murderer who would use such cruel means to murder a person's life must have a deep hatred for the deceased Hanamura.

The murderer not only took Hanamura's life, but also stuffed Hanamura, who was supposed to play the hero Siegfried, into the props of the evil dragon Fafnir, so that he was taken away in full view.

——Of course, what made him lose his life was not the large sword in the hands of Deo who played Siegfried, but the steel wire contained in the evil dragon Fafnir.

The evil dragon Fafnir is a custom-made prop specially made from abroad. It looks lifelike, but it is actually operated mechanically, and can also set actions. In the current economic depression of Japan, it is enough to cause a lot of topics.

The head of the evil dragon Fafnir was specially set. When the actor playing Siegfried swung his sword over a certain place, the sensor there would be activated, and then the head, which was much lighter than the body, would be activated. The head will fall from the body, which represents the hero defeating the evil dragon, and also makes the audience feel more experienced.

In order to facilitate maintenance, there is a space inside the body of the evil dragon Fafnir that can accommodate one person, and Hanamura's body is hidden in that, until the props of the evil dragon Fafnir come out, and when the head falls off, Hanamura is also buried inside. His head was cut off, and the blood gushed out high like a fountain.

Originally, the production crew prepared for this scene to have the lighting crew turn on the vermilion lights, which fell on the actor playing Siegfried, symbolizing the hero's immortality by bathing in the dragon's blood, but no one expected that from the evil dragon, there would be Really gushing blood.

At that time, if it wasn't for Chuwei's clever idea, he lifted the head of the evil dragon Fafnir, and diverted the audience's attention from the blood that was too direct to himself, I am afraid that the show would have been forced to stop at that time.

After the curtain was put on, they hurriedly transported the props of the evil dragon Fafnir out of the stage, and the staff of the props team went to sort out the expensive props, but when he climbed up to the stage, he was about to put Fafner's head back on. When it was installed, the body of Hanamura, who was stuck in the model with his eyes wide open, was found.

He was so frightened that his eyes were closed on the spot, and he almost fell off the bed. Fortunately, he reacted in time, so that the crew did not have a second tragedy.

Araki Karyo recalled what happened on the stage at that time, judging from the gushing blood, Hanamura might have been alive before the head of the evil dragon Fafner fell off.

If the murderer really wanted to kill Hanamura, why did he bother to go around in circles?

Osamu Dazai asked, "Who is in charge of this prop? And who can access it?"

The person in charge of the props group tremblingly raised his hand and said, "We are generally in charge of the props. Although the props are expensive, they are very bulky and inconvenient to carry, so they are placed on the stage except for debugging." It's directly below the elevator platform—and there are security guards in the theater, so we didn't lock it."

"That is to say, the entire crew may tamper with the props, tie up the deceased and stuff them in when others are not paying attention, and finally wait for the climax of the play to kill him."

"The reason for this trouble is to create an alibi, and if you're lucky, you can plant it on Deao who plays Siegfried or the staff in charge of the props."

The police who came to take notes speculated.

"If the background could be blocked at that time, we should be able to get more clues."

Probably the young policeman who came out with the senior as a trainee complained in a low voice.

According to the records of the crew, they listed all the suspects' time today, so as to find out the real culprit who had the opportunity to tamper with the props.
