When the head crosses Yokohama

—Anyway, no one can understand the meaning of funerals.

17.

There was an explosion, and the moment Dazai touched the staff, the phone exploded, and the flesh and blood of the staff splattered his face.

The power of the explosion was not as great as expected, and even the surveillance video was not damaged. Dazai threw Mr. Ranpo to the ground, only slightly injured.

——The fragments of the mobile phone splashed by the shock wave only left a few scratches on his face.

"Dazai, you messed up my clothes." He got up from the ground, slapped the dust on his body with random steps, but looked at a staff member who was acting stiffly.

The explosion only caused him to destroy one arm, with blood and flesh splashed beside him, but he was completely unaware of it.Looking back numbly and stiffly, his eyes were dull, and he didn't seem to feel any pain.

"Just like Daxiong Jianghui, he is controlled by others."

"It's not a supernatural power. I touched him just now, but this state has not been lifted." Dazai realized that he had been swayed, but got up from the ground without showing a distressed expression, "The explosion just now was probably just to give Let's just give it a warning."

"It's not just him, many people in this building are probably under control."

The security at the door turned a blind eye to Kuroro who was carrying the fuel barrel, and the staff in the monitoring room ignored him. There was no better explanation than being controlled... But what method did Kuroro use?

Sure enough, it's someone from an unknown continent...?

With such thoughts in mind, Dazai and Ranpo discovered at the same time that the staff member whose arm was injured by the blast had moved again. He walked back to the console of the monitoring room like a marionette, and then used the remaining The arm pressing a button.

There was a bang, bang, and two seconds later, Kuroro's face jumped out of dozens of monitoring screens at the same time——

"Dazai-kun, Ranbu-kun, long time no see."

In fact, it didn't take long. It was only a month since Kuroro went to the detective agency for help last time.

"Yeah, long time no see." Dazai replied cooperatively.

Luanbu didn't look at the monitoring screen, but began to wait and see in the corner of the monitoring room to see where Kuroro had installed the camera.

"Most of the staff in the Landmark Building are under my control, and they are all my eyes." Kuroro was clear about Ranpo's actions, and he didn't let it go, "Didn't you just want to ask me why I did this, Mr. Dazai?" Do it? The answer is simple, I am here to contain you."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, because you in the detective agency will be more difficult." Kuroro shook his head gently on the monitoring screen: "So in order to contain you, I specially set up a stage in the Landmark Building."

"—Now, there are a total of 320 barrels of fuel in the Landmark Building, all of which are concentrated on a certain two floors. You can find these fuel barrels, or find me. I will give you 10 minutes to end this farce."

Then Kuroro smiled and said what all villains would say: "If you don't meet the conditions within the specified time, I will kill everyone in the building."

To put it lightly, but both Ranpo and Dazai knew that Kuroro would do this.

After the farce-like explosion announcement, the Kuroro projection in the surveillance video also disappeared immediately, and the snow-white twist spots made the surveillance room instantly a little weird.

"Mr. Ranpo, you said that if we didn't find the 10 barrels of fuel within 320 minutes, or if we found Kuroro, what method would Kuroro-kun use to kill all the people in the Landmark Building?"

The Landmark Building has a total of [-] floors, and more than [-] floors are hotels and hotels. There are not five thousand people scattered throughout the Landmark Building. How can Kurolo kill them all?

"Detonate the 320 barrels of fuel, block the exit and burn everyone to death in the landmark building. If you think about it this way, then Kuroro should put the fuel barrels on the first to tenth floors." Ranbu only listed one of them. There is one possibility, "but there is another possibility, Kuroro controls some people in the building, and then let them kill each other—"

"But if you think this way, you will fall into Kuroro-kun's trap." Dazai pointed out this point with a smile.

"So we can't follow the train of thought and pace that Kuroro gave us." After pondering for a while, Ranbu continued, "Dazai, do you still remember the security guard mentioned in the anonymous email?"

"—My husband and I witnessed this man walking into the Landmark Building with fuel barrels, about dozens of barrels a day. I was also surprised at the beginning, why did the Landmark Building need so much fuel? Until we saw that The man with the fuel barrel stunned the security guards who stopped him, only to realize that the fuel might not be the daily materials needed by the Landmark Building, but someone transported it in privately.

No one stopped the man, my husband and I didn't understand what happened, except for the security guard who was knocked out, the others were silent as if they were controlled. "

That's what it says in the email.

"When I was watching the surveillance video for nearly a week, I noticed something." Ranbu squinted his eyes and continued, "On Thursday, there was indeed a security guard who stopped Kuroro who was transporting the fuel tank, that is, Say, at least the security section in the anonymous email is true."

According to what they have learned now, Kurolo controlled the staff in the building, and then successfully moved a large number of fuel barrels in.

But if the content described in the anonymous email is true, that means——

"Is there a security guard who is not under Kuroro's control?"

"That's right," Ranpo nodded in satisfaction, talking to Dazai would save time, "And just now in the surveillance video I discovered that Kuroro had kidnapped a man without any disguise, about 1.7 meters tall... If my reasoning is correct, that person is the security guard, and this security guard is now by Kuroro's side!"

Dazai opened his eyes brightly, although he felt that he was already very smart, but every time he saw Mr. Ranpo's reasoning, he still felt that Mr. Ranpo really deserved to be Mr. Ranpo: "Then Mr. Ranpo, where is that security guard now? "

"On the 69th floor - Sky Garden."

After Ranpo gave his inference, Osamu Dazai immediately prepared to take the elevator to the 69th floor. At first they planned to go together, but when they stepped on the elevator, Ranpo frowned, and finally walked out of the elevator out.

"Just in case, I'll go to the bottom ten floors to have a look."

Kuroro is a hopeless criminal. Although the probability is very small, maybe he did set up at least two ways to destroy the landmark building. Just in case, Ranpo decided to split up with Dazai.

"Mr. Ranpo, be more careful!"

Dazai in the elevator said so.

Ranbu just raised the hat in his hand, and his back disappeared at the corner of the stairs in a very chic way. Under Dazai's gaze, the elevator door finally closed with a bang, as if dividing the place where the two of them were. two worlds.

Frowning, an inexplicable premonition rose in Dazai's heart.

But he didn't stop the elevator going up and down, just silently staring at the number of elevators going up one by one, from 69 to [-], and then to the [-]th floor. With a jingle, the observatory, which has always been known as the Sky Garden, finally arrived.

Outside the 360-degree glass curtain wall, the entire Minato Mirai is underfoot.

There was no one else on the observatory, and the silence was a little scary, and there was even a faint smell of blood in the air.

Osamu Dazai got out of the elevator, walked past two display racks, and after turning a small corner, he finally spotted Kuroro in front of a huge glass curtain wall.

The black-haired young man stood in front of the glass curtain wall with his back facing him, as if he was looking at the whole Yokohama scenery. From Dazai's point of view, Kuroro's straight back was like a black flag inserted upside down into the barren land , inexplicably seemed a little lonely.

"Dazai-kun, is it you who came here?"

Sensing the presence of someone coming, Kuroro said this when he turned his head and saw Dazai.

"If it wasn't for me, who was Ku Luoluo-kun expecting?" Dazai asked with a relaxed expression.

"Kunikida-kun, I thought that if something happened to the Landmark Building, he would come over impatiently." Even though he said this, Dazai didn't hear how much anticipation Kuroro's tone really was, "Or that smart A detective is fine too, he looks a little more emotional than you, Dazai-kun."

"Kurolo-kun, what are you trying to do? Is it the beginning of making the first person who finds you a sacrifice?" Dazai raised his brows with his mouth pursed, "I really don't know who came up to find you." Excuse me."

"No, there's really no difference."

Looking up, Kuroro's eyes shifted from the sky outside the glass curtain wall to the ceiling inside the glass curtain wall, but he didn't seem to be looking at the ceiling, but saw something else far away through his transparent eyes.

"Anyway, no matter who came, no one can understand the meaning of this funeral."

"A funeral?"

Dazai shook his head silently, "Tch, so it really is a funeral."

Muttering this in his mouth, a little disgusted, at the same time Dazai was still looking around, as if he was looking for something, Kuroro was a little surprised, "What are you looking for?"

"A security guard, Mr. Ranpo said that he is by your side now, what happened to him?"

"Security?" Hearing this word, Ku Luoluo laughed silently. It was a kind of incomprehensible but meaningless smile. "That security guard is too noisy."

The faint smell of blood in the air seemed to become more intense.

"You killed him?"

Although the tone didn't change, Dazai was obviously a little angry, and Kuroro's reckless attitude made him very unhappy.

Kurolo didn't answer yes or no, but just smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect Dazai-kun to be such an angry person--Dazai-kun, I suddenly felt that maybe you are more angry than I imagined." It may not be more suitable for this stage tonight."
