cat blues

I don’t know if it’s because I accidentally washed away the lottery tickets that Chuya drew when I washed the clothes last time. Recently, Big Cat Yukichi is always thinking about when to go to the nearby forest park to play. I don’t know why. I always feel that the recent rest time is quite a lot, is it an illusion?

"Forest Park? Absolutely not!" For Edogawa Ranpo, who was forced to swallow a large pile of vegetables just two days ago, he absolutely does not want to see anything related to green recently, including forests It's the same, "And Master Ranpo is going on a business trip to Kyushu tomorrow, so I don't have time to go forest bathing."

"If you go to Kyushu, do you want to go to Fukuoka and say hello to the racecourse?" Nakahara Nakaya said and wanted to get his mobile phone.

"No, Ranpo-sama went to Saga, so there is no need to tell the racecourse." After Ranpo finished speaking, he took his legs off the table and turned around angrily. It was you guys, Even the famous detective who killed him also eats vegetables together.

Tanizaki Naomi on the side asked curiously, "What are the specialties of Saga Prefecture?"

Tanizaki Junichiro immediately opened the keyboard and checked, "Uh, the specialty of Saga Prefecture is ceramics, and then there are tofu, seaweed..."

"Master Ranpo doesn't like to eat it!" Edogawa Ranpo became even more depressed.

"Tofu! Speaking of Mr. Ranpo, I have researched super hard tofu before. Is anyone interested in trying it?" Dazai Osamu suddenly sent an invitation to all the people in the detective agency.

"I've eaten it, it's really delicious." Oda Sakunosuke supported it.

"Dazai, what strange things did you spend your money on?" Since Osamu Dazai was able to come up with such a wonderful product, he must have spent a lot of energy and done many experiments. There was no sign of tofu, so he must have found a place outside to experiment.

Osamu Dazai turned around with a smile, but did not answer the question directly.

In the afternoon, Nakahara accompanied Edogawa Ranpo on a business trip to Kyushu. Not long after they left, an invitation letter was sent to the Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama. This invitation letter seemed a little subtle. It was not auspicious, and the words "Edogawa Ranpo Kissing" were written on the black envelope with a white brush.

"Respected Detective Edogawa, I admire your wisdom, and I specially wrote to invite you to have dinner and drinks at the mansion. The phantom of the son abandoned by God."

Attached to the invitation letter was a check with a denomination of 200 million.

Seeing this check, Osamu Dazai immediately became interested. He walked over to pick up the invitation letter and looked at it, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "It's the first time I've seen someone use someone else's territory to come here. invited guests to a banquet."

"Hey Dazai, what are you doing?" Kunikida Doppo, who was holding the invitation to read, couldn't help but said.

"This invitation." Osamu Dazai put the invitation letter on the table and moved towards them, "The address written on it is the Twilight Villa in Nagano Prefecture. I am the property owner."

"Huh?" The whole group was startled, and looked at him with incredulous eyes.

"I'm just kidding, it hurts." Dazai Osamu was sanctioned just now, and he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, the owner of the Twilight Villa is indeed not me, but the president's." explain."

The group was even more surprised, but this time everyone was ready for him to say something serious.

"Actually, it wasn't the president who bought it, Mr. Yukichi bought it." Dazai Osamu scratched his head, "It seems like it was last year..."

Hearing what Dazai Osamu said, Oda Sakunosuke also showed a "remembered" expression, nodded affirmatively and said, "Mr. Yukichi bought it."

In the middle of last year, the Armed Detective Agency took over a serial fraud case. That case was in charge of Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke. Both of them had caught the prisoner, but who knew that although the prisoner was a fraudster, He actually has a supernatural ability related to escape. As a result, the city police in Yokohama couldn't catch him at all and let him run away without warning.The Yokohama City Police had no choice but to continue entrusting the work of catching the criminals to the detective agency.So Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke followed the prisoner all the way to Tokyo, and they happened to meet Yukichi Nomo who also came to Tokyo to buy idol goods.

Isn’t it easy for Osamu Dazai to chase a scammer? He even had enough time to invite Yukichi to chase the criminal with them. But before setting out with them, Big Cat still bought a summer lottery ticket that will be drawn tonight. Although the lottery is said to be able to offer up to 7 million tax-free bonuses, Big Cat almost never buys this kind of pure luck It bought this purely because this summer lottery invited uy-sea to promote it. In order to support his idol, Big Cat bought one and followed.

In order to get rid of the detectives who were chasing them, the scammer simply hid in a nearby real estate auction venue.By the time Dazai and the others chased them here, almost all the good assets auctioned at this real estate auction were sold, and the rest were some problematic bad assets, such as places where murders happened and the like.

Many buyers have lost interest in the next assets, and many people have even started to leave the market, and the rest still have certain illusions about these bad assets.Originally, Osamu Dazai felt that he needed to spend a little more time looking for the fraudster. At this moment, the asset that appeared on the field was a pile called "Twilight House" located in the mountains and forests of Nagano Prefecture. villa.There was a very tragic murder case in this villa many years ago, and it changed hands several times afterwards. The owner seemed to have encountered various unlucky things after buying the house, so he changed hands again.There are also rumors of a cursed place in the Twilight Villa, causing the price of the house to depreciate more and more.

But no matter how low it is, at least it is in a place in Nagano Prefecture very close to Hida Mountain. The scenery is excellent, and the nearby national park is not too far away, so the price is more than 2 million yen. For example, this In this auction, the starting price is 5000 million yen.

Not long after the pictures and real estate information of the Twilight Annex appeared, a slightly fat man raised a sign and called out an offer of 100 yuan.

The master of ceremonies at the auction originally thought that this property would be unsold. After all, it had been unsold before. He didn't expect that someone would bid this time. It really surprised him, but it surprised him even more. What's more, before he could say the usual lines of the auction, a quotation of "5 million" was heard from a box.

This direct doubling operation made the master of ceremonies even happier, but the face of the slightly fat man under the stage turned blue. He raised the sign in his hand tremblingly again, gritted his teeth and added another 3000 million. The people in the box directly reported the price of 6 million.

Now the fat man is completely useless, but Osamu Dazai is not interested in taking care of that guy, he took Oda Sakunosuke and Yukichi Tomomi and ran directly to the door of the private room, and then someone Dazai played his Yokohama unlock king characteristics, went directly to pick open the lock of the private room.

Seeing that the detectives were chasing after him so hard, the scammer immediately threw the things in his hand and continued to escape.

This fraudster, the first time he was caught before, did not expect Osamu Dazai to be a supernatural person with the ability to nullify supernatural powers, but since he already knew, how could he let the other party touch him? I told Ji Ji the big cat.

Although the Yuji big cat looks tall, it is really just a cat, and the scammer also saw that the other party was holding idol-related peripherals. How could an idol otaku stop him!

So he bumped the big cat into a person and rushed out after turning his back on his back.

It's just that this move successfully angered Osamu Dazai, who was still a bit of a cat-and-mouse mentality. He immediately directed Oda Sakunosuke to go to another place to block people, and rushed to chase them himself.

The dazed Yuji big cat also knew that they were going to catch the prisoner, so he had to get up from the ground and pick up all the things that had been dropped on the floor, and then wait until the big cat threw the prisoner's number plate or something. After picking it up, the big cat heard the words "Congratulations to No. 354 for winning the Twilight Villa" from downstairs.

Yuji Big Cat subconsciously glanced at the number plate in his hand, it happened to be No. 354, and when he looked up again, he saw the big words on the projection screen, "Twilight Annex (Nagano Prefecture), No. 354, Bid 6 The words "billion" made the whole cat feel that its eyes were darkened, and it almost pouted.

This kind of thing originally originated from an oolong. In fact, as long as it is explained clearly, the problem is not a big problem. However, the problem now is that Yuji, the big cat, can't speak.

Mr. Yukichi is a big cat, a real cat. It can't speak human words, and it can't make human sign language.

Sitting in the private room, the big cat felt terribly nervous. If Dazai and the others could not come back in time to explain the situation, would it be forced to buy such an inexplicable house?By the way, where is Nagano Prefecture? Isn’t it very far away?Also, I don't seem to have so much money, what if I can't buy it?

At that time, Big Cat Yuji felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, but the auction was about to end, and the two real estates after the Dusk Annex were all passed up in a short time. When the guests from the Twilight Annex went to conduct real estate transactions, Yukichi the big cat was almost petrified with nervousness.

Just when it was walking with the other party with a stiff body, it heard the push from its own mobile phone. The big cat subconsciously looked at it and found that it was related to the lottery lottery. I hope that if you click on the content of the lottery draw, the whole cat will come to life immediately. The reason is very simple. It won the lottery, and it is still the first prize, 7 million yen, and it is still tax-free!

The big cat Yukichi was overjoyed immediately, and then he really signed Fukuzawa Yukichi's name on the transaction list.

When Osamu Dazai and the others came back after catching the prisoner, they found that their cat actually bought an old villa in Nagano Prefecture for a sky-high price of 6 million.

"This...is too...then what is it?" Hearing these words, everyone's heads were full of black lines. Such a dramatic development is too incredible. Is it really true and not nonsense?

"Well, because it was the employee of the auction house who accompanied Mr. Yukichi to redeem the lottery prize and directly completed the transaction." When Oda Sakunosuke talked about this matter, he also showed a rare look of helplessness, "Originally we all I am advising Mr. Yuji not to do such a thing, after all, he was not the one who called out the price. But I don’t know what Mr. Yuji thought, but he bought the house with determination and hung it on the Under the president's name."

"What are you thinking about?" Osamu Dazai couldn't help complaining, "Mr. Yukichi saw that the employees of the auction house and the former owner of the Twilight Annex were very depressed after hearing that it was an oolong. That's why the transaction was completed, after all, the former owner really needed a large sum of cash at that time."

"Anyway, since I bought such a large house, the location is remote and there have been many murders, Mr. Yukichi didn't know how to explain it to everyone, so he just pretended that the annex didn't exist anymore." Osamu Dazai Sighing, "In addition to the real estate purchase tax and a series of other strange expenses, the 7 million yen that Mr. Yukichi exchanged in his hand was spent before he even held it in his hand."

"As expected, Mr. Yuji." The corners of the mouths of several people twitched when they heard this.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was the first to react, "This guy actually borrowed Mr. Yukichi's house to do such a thing, it is unforgivable! Please let me go, I must arrest the person who made such a disrespectful thing and send it to the police bureau."

"Akutagawa, I'm not surprised that you said that you want to arrest someone and go to the police station, but the question is... are you sure you can catch someone?" Osamu Dazai couldn't help complaining, "Or is it better to say that you arrested the right person? ?”

"Just catch everyone who goes there." Akutagawa Ryunosuke made a fist-clenching motion, obviously he really thought so.

"Brother..." Akutagawa Gin felt a little helpless.

"Anyway, in the absence of Mr. Ranpo, I am undoubtedly the brains in the detective agency." Osamu Dazai patted his chest proudly, "I'll contact the other party first, and then Oda and I... Okay, okay, let's take you there, anyway, when the time comes, I will go with you, Oda and Akutagawa."

"I have no objection." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said very seriously.

Neither did Sakunosuke Oda.

Osamu Dazai made a phone call according to the contact information on the invitation letter, and told the organizer that the famous detective Luanbu just left for Kyushu in the morning, and he won't be able to return in a few days. Can you change the representative to attend? Agreed down.

"How is it?" The people next to him were very curious about the situation of this organizer.

"The other party used a voice changer to speak, well, he actually used a voice changer instead of a voice production program. It seems that this guy is not very good." Dazai Osamu casually complained, "Okay, this guy is probably hiding in the receiving office. None of the people who were invited to go ran away."

"Hey? Why do you say that?" Atsushi Nakajima asked rather puzzled.

"Because that property is indeed a bit remote, and ordinary people would not go there at all." Osamu Dazai had confirmed the situation of the house anyway, and the previous owner had told him that it was said that there was a treasure in the house. But after dealing with so many people, even the previous owner spent a lot of time looking for it, but found nothing, which makes people wonder if it was done in order to make this troubled house sell for a price. Come out as a gimmick.Osamu Dazai, who has never visited the Twilight Annex, and his knowledge of the Twilight Annex is limited to the information of the auction house and the enthusiastic previous owner, feels that this is a more likely statement.

"It is impossible for someone to enter by mistake, and if it is the owner, believe me, with his attitude of speaking and his style of pretending to be a ghost, he will be killed face to face by a more reckless visitor." Osamu Dazai thumbed up. Compared with Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who was already eager to try, "So since it's not the two identities that need to be concealed the most but can't be concealed the most, in order to keep others from knowing what your real voice is, it's most likely Sure enough, it can only be those who are also invited to go.”

"That makes sense, but Dazai, don't you forget that there are so many weird guys in this world, what if he actually likes to use a voice changer, and actually doesn't plan to go to the Twilight Annex at all?" Akiko Yosano couldn't help pouring cold water on him.

"Impossible." Osamu Dazai waved the invitation letter in his hand at them, "Did you see the signature?"

"What is this "Phantom of the Forsaken Son of God"? Tanizaki Naomi on the side said curiously.

"Yes, "the phantom of the Son of God Abandoned by God", where "the Abandoned by God" should refer to the goat in the New Testament who is not blessed by God, and "son of God" means the kid, and the English word for goat is goat , and the kid is kid, and the phantom is phanto, understand? Osamu Dazai explained with a smile, "Simply put, the organizer not only borrowed Mr. Yukichi's house, but also borrowed the name of Kaitou Kidd." "

"It's too bad." Hearing Dazai Osamu's analysis, several people showed expressions of disapproval.

"That's right, since he borrowed the name of the Kaitou Kidd, the only person he targets as a target can only be someone who is also a detective." Osamu Dazai waved the invitation letter in his hand, "According to this The guests invited by the guy came to see, I really wonder if there is really any treasure in the evening building."

As he said, he stretched out his hand and stroked his chin, "If there is a treasure at that time, let Mr. Yukichi dig it out and sell it, and then share it with me, Oda and the president!"

"Oh, tui!" Several people on the side said one after another, what are you talking about, you shameless person.

When the big cat Yuji came up with the dinner plate, they happened to hear them talking about the evening hotel. Many people became interested in this wonderful hotel full of rumors, and they were investigating the matter through various channels. Things about the Twilight Annex.

The big cat Yuji didn't realize at all what the twilight annex they were investigating was. After being reminded by Osamu Dazai, the big cat had the urge to run away. fault" and then turn it out before the righteous Lord!What a shame!And it was known by so many people that it stupidly spent a full 7 million to buy a house that was of no use at all!

"It's okay, it's okay, it's Mr. Yukichi after all." Junichiro Tanizaki couldn't help comforting the big cat who wanted to shrink into a ball, "But after hearing about such things, I always feel that Mr. Yukichi is more worthy I admire it."

Big Cat Yuji suddenly looked up at him in surprise, how did he come to this conclusion?

"After all, it's Mr. Yukichi who would really give up all the windfall he got because he can see that others are in urgent need of money. I don't think ordinary people can do such a thing." Tanizaki Junichiro scratched Scratching his cheek, "It's super powerful."

"That's right, Mr. Yuji is super powerful." The people on the side also came forward to pat the big Yuji cat with rainbow farts one after another, making the big cat so ecstatic.

After Yukichi Tomo went downstairs, Kunikida Doppo in the office said belatedly: "Wait a minute, Dazai, did you tell the president about this matter? Isn't that house recorded under the president's name?" Is it?"

"Ah, I forgot." Osamu Dazai couldn't help putting on a cute pose, and said softly.

"I'll go and explain to the president." Oda Sakunosuke stood up and said.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and when the appointed day came, the three members of the Armed Detective Agency drove from Yokohama to Nagano Prefecture.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yukichi seemed to want to organize us to take a forest bath some time ago." Osamu Dazai opened the car window fully, blowing the cool breeze oncoming, and said with a smile, "If it wasn't for that unlucky letter Invitation letter, we still can’t remember that there is actually Mr. Yukichi’s villa here, when the matter here is settled, we can come here to experience the forest bath together, isn’t it great?”

"It's really good, and the air is very fresh." Oda Sakunosuke nodded in agreement, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at Dazai Osamu and said a very heart-warming sentence, "Mr. Dazai, if you want to come to I don’t think it would be useful to hide from Editor Mizushima in the deep mountains and old forests of Nagano Prefecture.”

Osamu Dazai froze for a moment, then relaxed and said: "That's not the case, I just want to help Mr. Yukichi realize his wish, and I also want to experience the feeling of the forest oxygen bar by myself, that's all. That’s all. There’s no such thing as avoiding editing!”

"Hmm..." Oda Sakunosuke, who didn't know how to complain at all, nodded and believed his words.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who also doesn't complain but is very good at dismantling the stage, just nodded flatly, and then asked, "Mr. Dazai, how many manuscripts have you written?"

Osamu Dazai decisively raised the window glass, turned to Sakunosuke Oda and said, "Quick, I think it might rain outside later, so hurry up and drive."

"Is that so?" Oda Sakunosuke stepped hard, and the speed of the car increased again, but it was still within the speed limit.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at the bright sun outside, and said nothing quietly.
