How to raise Dazai gently

"So it was the last client she took that day that had a problem?"

They were walking on the street at the moment, and Araki Koyo put on sunglasses to cover his overly attractive appearance, but it also blocked many prying eyes that floated over.

After all, Tanizaki Junichiro was an old member of the Armed Detective Agency for a period of time, and he answered Araki Kongyo's question softly: "I can't be sure, the call girl shop that Ms. The information denied the client's request to see the client list and kicked him out."

To say that he was kicked out is actually quite euphemistic. After all, it is a company engaged in this kind of business. The other consensus competed, and they had a lot of strong bodyguards under them, all of them were vicious, and they drove him out without listening to his brother's request at all.

"So now we need to get the list from that company, right?" Araki Kongyo understood.

Although it is a company, the headquarters is not big, it is just a private house, the thugs live on the first floor, the dormitory of the call girls is on the second and third floors, the customer service center, that is, the call agency is on the fourth floor, and the higher floors The management staff live on the fifth floor, which can be regarded as a very large company.

But it is very expensive to support so many people. I am afraid that apart from call girls, this company is also doing other quick-money activities.

After all, it is a company that does sex work. The location of the company is relatively remote, and there are many idlers wandering around. Perhaps these people are also their hired eyeliners.

However, Tanizaki Junichiro is a person with supernatural powers, and it is easy to avoid them.

"I'll go inside to get the list, Kong Shi-kun, help me guard here." Junichiro Tanizaki said, turning his head.

Araki Kongyo had no objection to this arrangement, and calmly nodded in agreement. Junichiro Tanizaki heaved a sigh of relief, and then activated his supernatural ability to sneak into the private house.

With the cover of [Xiyuki], Tanizaki Junichiro sneaked into the company building very smoothly. He entered the call center first, trying to find an empty computer to hack into. After all, he was just an ordinary call girl picking up customers It's just a list, there should be records on the computer.

He found an employee who went to the toilet to be lazy, quietly entered his computer, and searched for the record of the lamp.

It didn't take long before Toko's pick-up list appeared in front of Junichiro Tanizaki. The girl worked very hard to live with her disabled brother in Yokohama. She even picked up more than ten times a day. The basic time is calculated in one hour - not including the time spent on her way to the door, this girl spends ten to thirteen hours a day in the bed of different men.

Tanizaki Junichiro felt unbearable and uncomfortable, but in order to find the missing girl as soon as possible, he forced himself to continue searching, and downloaded and transferred the list to the mobile hard disk he was carrying.

After all, Ms. Dengzi's disappearance may also be caused by a regular customer with malicious intentions.

But at the moment when the file was completely downloaded with only [-]% left, the phone on the desktop of the workstation suddenly rang for an incoming call, and the other employees who were doing nothing at their desks listened with their ears up, weakly Shouted: "—Tanaka-kun, work is here! Come and answer the phone!"

The toilet is at the back of the office, not far from Tanaka's work station. Now Junichiro Tanizaki's files have not been successfully downloaded, and the rapid ringtone on the desktop urges Tanaka to come out to work—he will definitely see his computer being tampered with. and you will see the client list being transferred!

How to do? !

With a wave of his hand, Tanizaki Junichiro covered the ability of [Xinyuki] on the computer screen, and then quietly stepped back a few steps to make way for Tanaka to return to the work station. While he was able to leave as quickly as possible, The mobile hard disk can also be taken away.

Tanaka didn't notice something was wrong with the screen, and Tanizaki Junichiro waited for a while, making sure that he had obtained the list of customers he wanted within this period of time, and turned around and left with the mobile hard drive without any hesitation.

When he walked out of the office, he let out a breath of foul air, and then as long as he returned to Araki Kongyo's side, this troublesome preliminary investigation would be over.

ended?

No, not yet, because Tanizaki Junichiro sensed the strong wind blowing from behind.

How can this be? !The supernatural ability [Xiyuki] can perfectly hide Junichiro Tanizaki in any background, and it is a perfect detection ability.

Even though Junichiro Tanizaki reacted very quickly, the person who attacked him moved faster and thought harder. The severe pain penetrated Junichiro Tanizaki's shoulders and lower abdomen, and something like a vine hung him in mid-air, bleeding profusely The unconsciousness and severe pain brought about made Tanizaki Junichiro unable to maintain his concealment, and finally showed his figure helplessly in front of these people.

The person who attacked him was Tanaka, an employee who seemed to be squeezed out to sit at the back near the toilet. He looked thin, his hair was disheveled, and his complexion was very pale, but he turned out to be a person with supernatural powers!

"Cough cough cough... Puff cough... I didn't expect that there would be a supernatural person here."

Tanizaki Junichiro's fingers feebly grasped the vines strangling his neck, trying to let more oxygen enter the lung cavity, but no matter how hard he tried, his eyes turned black and his face turned blue in the end.

"Because I like this job." Tanaka said slowly, "I don't need to go out to take risks, just sit here and answer the phone, and I will get money for you. Don't you like it?"

Tanizaki Junichiro didn't answer, and he couldn't answer anymore. The suffocation caused by lack of oxygen made him weak all over, and his struggle became smaller and smaller.

"Is this person dead?"

The other employees were not frightened, as if they had seen it many times, they leaned over, but they didn't get close, they just stretched their necks and asked.

"Not yet, but soon."

Tanaka replied, but as soon as he finished his sentence, his expression changed again: "Ouch...my stomach hurts again, I'm going to the toilet, you guys tie him up quickly!"

It seems that his station is arranged at the back near the toilet, not because he was excluded, but because he has some physical problems.

"Okay, don't look at it, there's nothing to see." A person stood up instead of Tanaka and yelled at these employees who wanted to watch the fun.

Tanizaki Junichiro was lying on the ground, his body temperature dropped rapidly due to blood loss, and scattered thoughts appeared in his vague brain: I was careless, I didn't expect that there were supernatural beings hidden here... Fortunately, Kong Shi-kun was outside, Otherwise, both of them will be folded in it.

In the end, Tanizaki Junichiro still recalled his lively half-sister. If he died, Naoko would probably go crazy...

I don't know if it was the revolving lantern before he died, Junichiro Tanizaki seemed to hear a new noise, the supernatural being Tanaka who injured him like this was also shouting something, but he was too tired, so in the end he didn't want to , can only slide powerlessly into the abyss of consciousness.

When Tanizaki Junichiro woke up again, he had returned to the Armed Detective Agency and was still lying on the hospital bed.

I'm afraid Araki Kongyo sensed something was wrong, so he came to save people. Fortunately, he came in time. Otherwise, even if Yosano Akiko was there, he might really die. When he feels better, thank him .

After all, he was on the verge of death once. Even though his body was intact, his spirit was still damaged. Tanizaki Junichiro originally wanted to hide it from his sister, but Tanizaki Naoko became extremely sensitive, so she went to find her directly, and concealed it if she wanted to. Can't live.

"I think Miss Dengzi's disappearance may have a lot to do with this company."

Tanizaki Junichiro hugged his sister on the hospital bed and stuffed it with love chicken soup the size of a washbasin, and analyzed with Araki Kongyo.

In fact, after he was injured, this commission could be rejected or delayed, but maybe Junichiro Tanizaki saw the shadow of himself and his sister in the client, and his body has been healed by Yosano Akiko, So I picked it up again.

"Otherwise, I can't understand why they let a powerful user with supernatural powers sit on duty as an employee. Being able to hurt me in such a short period of time means that Tanaka is at least a level [-] superhuman with lethality."

People with supernatural powers are divided into four grades, three grades, two grades, one grade, special grades, and transcendents above special grades. Although I don’t know how this classification came about, it is very useful for roughly estimating the lethality of people with supernatural abilities. convenient.

In terms of speed, strength, method, and cunning, a third-level supernatural power user cannot be defeated by ordinary practitioners, and they must rely on sharp weapons or guns.

Araki Kongshi sat beside him, and Tanaka searched out the mobile hard disk that originally contained the customer list, but finally returned to Araki Kongshi's hands.

"Since we can hire such a supernatural person, even if he really likes this job, it means that there is enough reward."

Here comes the question again, what secret does this company have, that it actually wants to hire people with supernatural powers to work on duty?

Tanizaki Junichiro raised the suspiciousness of this company to the highest level, because according to logic, 90.00% of the cases in the world are actually committed by acquaintances, and this company is so vigilant, I am afraid that Dengzi knew something accidentally Secret, that's why they were taken away by them.

If this is the case, then Miss Dengzi's situation is very dangerous.

Tanizaki Junichiro also didn't want to think of the worst possibility. He looked at Araki Kongyo who had been flipping through the client list, and asked, "Korashi-kun, what do you think?"

"Although the background of this company is not simple, and it is true that they have plots against Dengzi, the disappearance case has nothing to do with them." Araki Kongyo said succinctly.

"What's the reason?" Tanizaki Junichiro asked.

"This client list has already told us the answer, so it's no wonder they are so ruthless."

Araki Kongshi handed over the list, and all the people whose names can be found on the customer list have been marked. Because the lamp is short of money, the customers she receives are often with high bids, but with some special hobbies. It is said that some customers who are too much will even make her unable to get out of bed and walk after tossing - of course, the rewards are also multiplied and multiplied.

"This company is using call girls to transport drugs." Araki Kongyo said calmly, "Perhaps it is a new type of drug that is well hidden, such as Feiye candy, drinks, or even drugs that have been circulated from abroad recently. Addictive poisonous tattoos. Maybe they have people in the police circle, but this is inevitable, a group that can make a big business is impossible without drugs."

"Tattoos can also be addictive?" Tanizaki Junichiro was dumbfounded. Although he knew the horror of drugs, he never thought that there would be such a form.

"Yes, those people will try every means to get the target to put the tattoo on the skin, and they will become addicted in a few days. At that time, this person will be their customer, and they will continue to provide them with money, even himself."

For example, if you deceive the other party and say that you will be given money to stick it on their wrist for advertising, it only takes five days, or even more simply, you can stick it directly on their back while the target is drunk.

And once addicted, then this person's life will be completely ruined, this person will become a slave of this group, and his money and life will be squeezed out. Even if he can be cured by a healing system, but that is enough Addictive pleasures cannot be simply forgotten.

After all, Araki Kongyo had been a cadre of the port mafia, and he knew all the information unknown to the outside world.

What Mori Ogai is better than other organizations is that he does not take drugs, and he also strictly ordered his members not to participate in any contamination. All the seized things were destroyed without reservation.

"This person lives in Building xx, [-]-chome. The other side is the entrance to the red-light district. It is probably the collective dormitory of some thugs; this person is a former cadre of the Takase Society. The Takase Society fell in the leader's struggle, so I went to defect Maybe you have joined another smuggling organization, and the place where you live happens to be one of the properties bought by that organization; this person is the personal driver of the leader of a smuggling group, and he specializes in doing some dirty and tiring work for the leader..."

Among Dengzi's regular customers, there are quite a few people who look ordinary, but in fact have different identities. If they can't investigate the real identities of these people, I'm afraid they don't know that there is such a deep water hidden here.

Araki Kongshi just took a glance, and marked the addresses of these people in his mind, and thus deduced from the surrounding environment that these customers have more or less connections with the red light district and the underground world.

It's just that Araki Sora's inference confirmed Tanizaki Junichiro's original reasoning: "Because Ms. Toko knew what she was doing badly, or she didn't want to do it anymore, which caused those people dissatisfaction with her, is that why she disappeared?"

If this is the case, then the armed detective agency has to provoke too many people and organizations for this, especially when it involves drug trafficking and transportation, which means that they have to deal with not only offline The sales group, as well as the production organization and transportation organization in the middle and upper reaches.

Those gangsters will not let it go. We can know from the leading struggle that ended not long ago that the lives of ordinary people are like grass and ants in their eyes. Besides, the lamp is probably gone in such a dire situation. , to confront those vicious underground organizations for a dead call girl?

Tanizaki Junichiro looked at Araki Kongshi, stared at his teammates, and asked softly, "Korashi-kun, are you still planning to continue the investigation?"

Araki Kongyo's answer is actually very simple: "Of course we need to investigate. Since the client has handed over the case to me, I will never allow the word failure to appear on my resume."

The interest of Araki Kongshi has been completely aroused. The case of the disappearance of a small call girl seems to hide a lot of mysteries. For example, why are these underground organizations in Yokohama that are so handy and eye-catching? Why are they so rough?And it has not been dealt with together with Dengzi's disabled brother. This is not in line with the style of these underground organizations - unless it is not their hands, or they did it, but there is an accident. I can do it in time.

Junichiro Tanizaki couldn't help but also showed a smile, "I think so too, since we decided to investigate, we must find Miss Toko's whereabouts, at least..."

He paused, and sighed vaguely: "...I want to bring her body back to Mr. Taro."

Osamu Dazai was involved in the serial murder case, and even Doppo Kunikida suffered a crisis of public opinion because of this, and the detective agency was also criticized together; the results of the investigation of the disappearance by Araki Kongshi were related to the smuggling group, and now their investigation may have caused smuggling Attention of the group, there will always be danger; and Oda Sakunosuke has not been easy recently, he led Edogawa Ranpo to solve the case from the crime scene, and when he was about to return to the Armed Detective Agency, a premeditated killer tried to Assassinate Edogawa Ranpo.

This is undoubtedly something that can only be done by knowing the enemies of the Armed Detective Agency very well. The core of the Armed Detective Agency's ability to gain a foothold is because of Edogawa Ranpo's "extraordinary ability" [Super Reasoning], without Edogawa Ranpo, Coupled with the recent fierce public opinion attacks, this detective society that unknowingly blocked the way of many people collapsed quietly.

There are so many supernatural beings and righteous people in Yokohama, is Fukuzawa Yukichi the only one who thought of doing this?But none of them succeeded, only Fukuzawa Yukichi succeeded, which also shows the horror of Edogawa Ranpo.

But fortunately, when God opens a window, it also closes a door. For Ranpo Edogawa, this door is emotional intelligence and self-care ability.

Before the assassin's action, the police who originally received Ranpo Edogawa didn't take it seriously when they saw Sakunosuke Oda who came with him. He put it in his eyes, until Oda Sakunosuke suddenly took a step forward with that expression that didn't change, and fired three shots into the air, and when each shot landed, another bullet that came from nowhere would be thrown into the air. When it fell to the ground, the hot metal shell case made a crisp sound, telling the slow-moving police that someone planned to kill Edogawa Ranpo under the eyes of everyone.

Although they don't like to hand over the case to the Armed Detective Agency, the police have to admit that Edogawa Ranpo is powerful, and after all, the other party is also considered a citizen. After discovering that someone planned to assassinate Edogawa Ranpo, they quickly surrounded him. Come up and protect people behind you.

However, Edogawa Ranpo didn't appreciate it. He poked his head out of the encirclement and said to the surrounding police without any sense of crisis: "It's okay, the other party is a professional killer. Since he found that there is no way to kill me immediately, There will be another opportunity.”

So there's no need for them to surround them so nervously, that's what Edogawa Ranpo meant.

It's just that this sentence didn't mean it to the police's ears, "That is to say, if they don't succeed this time, they will attack again next time, right?"

The leading police officer said in a deep voice.

Edogawa Ranpo seemed to know what the police officer was going to say, he spoke first: "No problem, my colleagues will protect me, right, Odasaku?"

The policemen looked at the red-haired young man who had been dazed like a soft sheep until just now, and then looked at the shell casings that had accurately intercepted the bullets on the ground. They had no objection to this. It seems that the red-haired Young people are also supernatural beings, so compared to ordinary people, they can indeed protect Edogawa Ranpo better.

"Well, I will protect you." Assistant Oda Sakuyuki said so naturally, and then captured the killer alive that afternoon.

As for Araki Kongyo and Tanizaki Junichiro, after talking with Araki Junichiro, Tanizaki Junichiro went to look for Fukuzawa Yukichi.

After all, this situation is not something he can decide alone. Junichiro Tanizaki reported the general history of the case and the results of Araki Kongyo's reasoning to Fukuzawa Yukichi, and finally added his own personal opinion: "Although Araki Kongyo is very He is indifferent, even indifferent to other living beings to a certain extent, but he is very protective of the people and things he recognizes. And his observation ability is also very good, he will definitely be able to become an excellent investigator——so, I personally Think he passed the test."

Fukuzawa Yukichi pondered for a while. After all, the Armed Detective Agency has fallen into the trap of public opinion because of the serial murder case investigated by Osamu Dazai and Kunikida, and the Detective Agency has suffered a lot. Rejection, if at this stage it provokes the mafia, which the police also shy away from, it may be difficult to parry. It is estimated that the Armed Detective Agency will eventually be forced to disband under the pressure of public opinion.

Although the situation was critical, Fukuzawa Yukichi was very calm and did not show any signs of anxiety. Seeing the president's calm expression, Junichiro Tanizaki, who was uneasy, unknowingly relaxed.

"I have received your opinion, and my reply is only one sentence."

"—The Armed Detective Agency exists to maintain justice and order, go ahead and do it, I'm behind you."

This is a promise as well as an encouragement. Fukuzawa Yukichi's words made Junichiro Tanizaki's eyes blush. He nodded vigorously, bowed with respect, and then left Fukuzawa quietly. Sawa Yukichi's office.

"It seems that the three newly recruited members have great potential..." Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed faintly, but his eyes and his expression were filled with a faint smile, which would never The firmness of compromise.

"The Armed Detective Agency will not fall, I believe in my members."
