Started with a green hat for Verlaine

Japanese New Year.

The number of foreigners in Yokohama suddenly decreased.

The crime rate has dropped, and the city police don't have to be so busy every day that they can't wait to divide into multiple shares.

After staying for a long time, Miss Catherine Potts, who is not resistant to cold, was so cold that she wanted to go to a country in the southern hemisphere to spend the winter, and she was not expected to return to this small country in the Far East.Before the impromptu moment, she specially made an appointment with Lantang to ask if the French compatriots she met in Japan were interested in traveling.

Lantang refused on the grounds that he had already found a job in Japan.

Katrin was extremely regretful, "Except for the many Asian beauties, the seafood sashimi tastes good, and the temper of most people is generally more polite, I didn't find anything worth staying in Japan."

After finishing speaking, she took a look at the full set of warm items that Lantang was wearing, and she was much more prepared than herself.

This man is extremely afraid of the cold.

"There are thousands of reasons. I really want to go abroad for vacation, but it's not at this time. I will spend this cold winter with the person I like." Lan Tang saw Katrin for the last time in the French restaurant, and raised his hand. The cup indicated that the fingers were so white that they were almost transparent, as if ice crystals would condense on the fingertips.

The longer she knew Lan Tang, the more she could discover Lan Tang's temperament from the inside out, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Katrin toasted him, not thinking about it, "I wish you happiness."

Lan Tang raised his eyes, and a gentle smile stretched out from his melancholy expression. The person who usually seems to be unable to catch anything, was actually flattered by a small blessing.

Katrin was amazed by his smile.

"Where is Mr. Lantang's hometown? Is there a message for me to take back?"

"hometown……"

Lan Tang's eyes were sad, it was a fluke to get back the name of the past, and it's not worth it to covet more.

He pointed to his forehead, "I have lost some memories, I can't remember clearly." He stood up and picked up his round felt hat, "Compatriots, I wish you a smooth journey, if you can, please don't tell me about me .”

Catherine made a lady's return gift and understood the other party's difficulties.

"Yes, I know."

There are no interest entanglements and other connections anymore, so she will naturally not investigate the other party again, so that's it.

She just needs to know—

I met an elegant and noble gentleman in a small country in the Far East.

This person is her compatriot, who is willing to save her from the alley regardless of the reason.

Lan Tang walked out of the restaurant's spacious door, with his head slightly lowered, his long hair was blown back by the wind and snow, and part of his hair was pressed down by the black hat, blocking the snowflakes from the outside.The warmth brought by the air conditioner disappeared quickly, and his figure was like a sycamore leaf falling in Japan, shivering coldly, soaked by the cold wind.

Passers-by who saw him couldn't help feeling a little pity.

A car with a local license plate drove over, parked beside him, and picked up the French beauty.

"Happy New Year."

After Lantang boarded the car, Ma Shengqiu also put a candy from the port mafia into the hand of his lover who was rubbing his palms.

"That's it, I received it at the headquarters."

Lan Tang peeled off the colorful candy wrapper, put the candy in his mouth, and sucked it.

Then, Lan Tang turned around without wearing a seat belt, and covered Aso Qiuya with his upper body, and kissed him, sharing the warmth of winter, the orange-flavored candy rolled between his lips and teeth, and a hint of sweetness pervaded.Ma Shengqiu also took off Lantang's hat, and inserted his fingers into the long, ebony-like curly hair to support the nape of his neck. The snowflakes melted in the French beauty's hair, which was a little cold and warm.

In this loneliest season, the feelings are the strongest.

Lan Tang sat back in the co-pilot's seat, picked up the hot water bottle that Qiu Ye was going to give him, and it was warm.

"We're on vacation, shall we go home?"

"Buy some more ingredients, we will add a few more people to the Chinese New Year dinner."

"Who?"

"It won't be an outsider after all."

On Leibo Street, Zhongyuan Zhong also saw an unexpected woman, who was pushed forward by Luanbu in a daze.

"Aunt Kudo, I leave it to you!"

"What auntie, call me sister! I'm not that old!"

Kudo Yukiko replied with an angelic smile, with the ferocious aura of a devil behind her.

"Well, a woman who has given birth to a child should also be a sister." Edogawa Ranpo said the truth without paying attention, but fortunately his small animal nerves played a role, and he changed the name in time, "Sister, I beg you Lah, I'll take Shinichi out for a stroll around Suibo Street, this is a special area in Yokohama City!"

Kudo Yukiko waved and said, "Have fun, come back in an hour, don't lose Shinichi halfway."

Kudo Shin ran away with the "idol" early in the morning.

Nakahara Chuya was still sitting on the stool in a daze, and became anxious, "Mrs. Kudo...?"

Kudo Yukiko opened a large bag of cosmetics and spread them on the table, which attracted occasional exclamations from the orphans in the sheep organization. They had never seen so many cosmetics in their life!

In Leibo Street, there are too few orphans who know Kudo Yukiko, and those who know her appearance are all adults.

"The facial features of the little guy are very good-looking." Yukiko Kudo observed Nakahara Chuya's appearance. Mixed races are most likely to have high-quality beauties, especially this kind of Eurasian mixed race that combines the characteristics of both "parents". "Ranpo asked me to come to see you. You probably don't know the reason. He wants me to make up for you, fine-tune your appearance, reduce the three-dimensionality of your facial features, and make you more like a pure Japanese."

Zhongyuan Zhong also suddenly raised his head to look at this woman whom he had ignored. Can the other party do it?

Yukiko Kudo said proudly: "I'm a mentor... ahem, a star with many years of makeup experience."

Zhongyuan Zhong didn't know why, but excitedly knew that he had hope to see Lan Tang!

"thanks for your help!"

"You're welcome. Before putting on makeup, let me ask you one more question. Is there anyone you want to reference? I mean who do you want to look like, and I can help you adjust as much as possible."

Nakahara Chuya, who didn't realize how awesome her words were, decisively turned on the phone and pulled out the photos!

"Oh, it's this foreign gentleman?"

"No! It's the Japanese next to him! Mr. Qiuya!"

"...Do you want to look like him?"

Kudo Yukiko thinks that the painting style does not match well. Nakahara Chuya’s facial features are exquisite, and he is handsome at a young age. The red phoenix eyes are raised, and the pupils are a little lacquer, which adds to the purity of the hair color. He is also a handsome man who will not be forgotten at a glance. He is very suitable for sitting in the office and holding a cup of tea for a whole day.

Just referring to the appearance, Zhongyuan Zhong also has the potential to be in the entertainment industry. Ma Shengqiu is not suitable for the front stage, but suitable for some behind-the-scenes management and literary creation, which inadvertently gives people an unfathomable feeling.

"Don't worry, I will help you!"

Kudo Yukiko drew a sketch in her mind and started to transform this face.

Outside, Kudo Shin used Saibachi Street as a maze to play, and he was amazed at the geographical structure here. He was like the little tail behind Edogawa Ranpo's buttocks, and he could say a hundred thousand whys out of his mouth.

"Brother Luanbu, why doesn't the government manage the people here? I see a lot of orphans?"

"There are so many whys, you are so long-winded."

Edogawa Ranpo can be regarded as a half acquaintance on Leibo Street. He has delivered letters before, asked for directions, and can quickly establish a relationship with anyone he talks to - provided that he does not poke other people's minefields.

The two came to a place where candies were distributed. Many children lined up and cheered after receiving the candies.

"The uncle in the black suit... the black sunglasses handing out candy?" Kudo Shinichi felt a strong sense of disobedience.

He was a little puzzled.

Don't the people who give out candy dress up cutely now, like wearing a bear doll or something?

"Let's go, let's get it!" Edogawa picked up Kudou Shinichi in a random step, and found that Kudou Shinichi was a bit heavy, so he took a few steps to put it down with peace of mind, "Shinichi, you are a big boy, go to the line for me."

Although Kudo Shinichi is small, he is not stupid, "Brother Ranpo, your physical strength is too weak."

Edogawa Ranpo is proud: "I am a brain school!"

Along with the war and economic instability, the gap between the rich and the poor in Yokohama is huge, not only in Saibo Street, but also in the old slums.Big men in suits who claimed to be members of the port mafia drove trucks, held guns and wore guns on their waists, and then came to the slums, and began to maintain order, handing out New Year's candy, saying that it was a New Year's gift from the local underworld dragon hair. .

Of course, only the people inside the port mafia know that this is the kindness and credit of Mr. Aso.

This "analyst" can persuade the leader to give benefits!

A pair of young brother and sister hid nearby, the elder brother protected the younger sister, the younger sister whispered: "I want to eat candy."

The elder brother is like a vigilant puppy: "Yin, these people don't look like good people."

The younger sister hugged her brother's hand and looked at the candies in other people's hands with longing eyes.The brother and sister's family was torn apart during the war, living in a slum, and it's been ages since they've had a snack.

"You stand here, I'll get it for you, I don't eat, I'll give you mine."

"Brother is the best!"

Akutagawa Gin smiled sweetly at Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

After being separated from her brother, she shivered a little from the cold, hiding behind a corner and covering herself with a sparse cloth.

The mafia members at the candy-distributing port looked at the thin and frail little boy in front of them, and whispered to several of their colleagues for a while, "Mr. Aso seems to have said that?" "Yes, there is such a request." "He said to the slums Children who are under ten years old and wear very little clothes are given clothes in order to accumulate virtue and do good deeds in exchange for good luck in the coming year."

In this way, there is no need to pay for it yourself, so that the organization donates materials and they are responsible for doing good deeds, which has received unanimous praise.

The men in black suits who seem to have fierce faces have kinder eyes under the sunglasses, and they no longer look at those poor orphans with the dark and cruel eyes they are used to seeing.Some of them are single, some have families and children. If they can eliminate some sins for themselves and their loved ones, they will agree with it.

A few minutes later, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who returned to his sister, coughed a few times. He hadn't recovered from the cold. He wrapped the clothes he received around his young sister, and the pockets of the clothes were stuffed with candies.

Akutagawa Gin touched his clothes in surprise, and saw that his brother was still there, so he quickly broke away from his brother.

"Brother, I'll help you get it!"

"silver!"

Ryunosuke Akutagawa had no choice but to chase after him, struggling to get the second supply with his sister under the eyes of the port mafia members. He didn't want to do this. The good family education in the past told him: this is begging.

But Akutagawa Silver doesn't think so.

She wrapped her small face in the loose clothes, and said to her brother with tears in her eyes.

"Brother, don't get sick, okay?"

Her parents got sick and died.

Now, my elder brother is also sick and coughing. They have no medicine and can only survive by themselves.This is the life of the children in the slums. The death rate is extremely high, worse than that of the orphans on Leibo Street.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt better, his face turned pale, and he nodded to his sister.

He can't die, he has to protect Yin.

After the contrasting behavior of the men in black suits, the residents of Yokohama have subtly improved their perception of the port mafia, from the fact that these people cannot be approached, to the fact that these people are also quite interesting, and they actually give out sugar and supplies to passers-by and orphans.The local organization's behavior of giving alms is enough to make them feel that they have killed the low-level gangs in other places.

The so-called "goodness" is sometimes a kind of confidence for large organizations.

This is usually what the government does!

For a time, the word-of-mouth of the Port Mafia surpassed other organizations, suppressing the active "Takase Society" to the second-rate.The port mafia members who were walking outside became inexplicably more confident.

Look!

They're not bad punks either!

For this city, they did their meager efforts, not just fighting and killing.

"Analyst" Aso Akiya's reputation once again stood out, and he was admired by many old and new people in the port mafia. They all said that this man had a heart and was suitable for doing great things.

Sanhuamao crouched in a corner of the city, looked at the mafia walking in the crowd, and tilted its head.

"Meow~."

There is a vague idea rising from Natsume Soseki's heart.

Light and darkness are mixed together at dusk. If the leaders of the forces that rule the city work together, distinguish between public and private, and compete for interests blindly, why worry that the day of peace will not come?

It has to be said that analysts see far.

The three-flowered cat suddenly jumped away, away from a port mafia man in a suit who was coming to tease the cat.

——Some people, no matter how fierce they look, still have a heart longing for a kitten.

night.

The New Year's Eve dinner at Aso's family is extraordinary.

Fukuzawa Yukichi arrived, sitting beside Edogawa Ranpo, rigid and tense, observing the etiquette of a big family.

He was invited by Ma Shengqiu to have a dinner together, saying that he was grateful for his care of Ranbu, and he couldn't bear to spend the New Year outside alone.In addition, there is another person who is ten times more nervous than Fukuzawa Yukichi!

Nakahara Chuya sat next to Aso Shuya with his hands and feet stiff, and Edogawa ranpo saw the joke.

"Lantang, this is the child I took care of on Leibo Street! He and Luanbu are friends, and he often takes care of Luanpo. This time, I invited them together. Let's stay overnight in Luanbu's room."

Aso Qiuya pressed his palm on the boy's orange hair, and happily introduced him to Lantang. Lantang, who knew in advance that there would be a few more people at home, was not surprised, and glanced at Zhongyuan Zhongye's face meaningfully.

"This kid... looks like you."

Tonight, Zhong Yuan Zhong is also petite and exquisite, with orange hair and green eyes, and an extremely delicate face.

In other words, on the basis of weakening the facial features of the mixed race, the boy is very similar to the young Aso Qiuya.

Top Disguise.jpg

When Aso Qiuya saw Chuya Zhongyuan for the first time, he almost burst out laughing.

Too much makeup!

If it weren't for the conspicuous orange hair, I wouldn't even recognize my little boy! ! !

Aso Qiu also faced Lan Tang's suspicious gaze, and thanked Miss Kudo Yukiko's ingenious hand in his heart. At least the other party helped him, so that Nakahara Nakata could walk into the door of the house.

In Wen Yeli, the 22-year-old Zhong Yuan Zhong also has no family from the beginning to the end.

He is not a god.

He is a gravitationalist who aspires to become human.

"I think he is more like you." Ma Shengqiu also ignored these questions, and said freely, "Trust my eyes, Lan Tang, compared to the similarity on the skin, don't you feel the closeness in the soul?"

Lan Tang was about to look away, but after hearing this, he took another look at the obedient and quiet Chuya Zhongyuan.

Nakahara Chuya's green eyes were bright and moist.

not like myself.

"No."

In a word, a mother denies her cub.

Zhongyuan Zhongye was hit hard and turned to Qiuye for help. Ma Shengqiu also said: "It wasn't obvious when I was young, but it will show up when I grow up. I think Zhongye has a passionate soul like Lantang."

The future Nakahara Chuya has Verlaine's outstanding appearance and Rimbaud's stubborn character.

When visiting as a guest, they all restrained themselves.

Unraveling the embarrassment lightly, Aso Qiuya let go of Nakahara Chuya, poured drinks for the two children, and the adults drank and chatted.

The dinner menu is very rich, with Japanese, Chinese, French and a magical British dish.

——Mackerel Looking up at the Starry Sky School.

However, in view of Aso Akiya's enthusiasm when cooking and disgust when eating, the final dishes served as decorations. No one expressed curiosity about this British dish, not even Edogawa Ranpo.

Edogawa Rampo said: "I don't want to eat this weird dish!"

Zhongyuanzhong also silently supported it.

Lan Tang covered his mouth and smiled, "Qiu Ye, I told you not to cook British food."

Fukuzawa Yukichi said frankly: "It's a bit of a waste of food, which doesn't meet the taste of normal people."

Ma Shengqiu replied nonchalantly; "It's a waste once a year!"

Under the warm hospitality of Aso Akiya, this New Year's dinner was joyful and full of commemorative significance.In the living room, the charcoal fire in the fireplace is burning, making a popping sound, adding to the family atmosphere.

Overcoming the cold killing intent of the original novel, the big French cat and the orange kitten had dinner together!

He squeezed Nakahara Chuya's soft hand under the table, and felt Lan Tang's slender legs against him.

Ah, the mother-child group, cats and cats!

happy ~.

……

Meanwhile, in the police station's detention center, Oda Sakunosuke finished his New Year's dinner.

Special Edition - Sweet and Spicy Curry Rice.

The thought of murder disappears.

The red-haired boy was empty of all four things, and became a buddha.

As long as there is curry and rice, everything is easy to talk about, and life can barely survive.

outside.

It's Chinese New Year.
