Chief Oda won't complain

Sometimes the past and the present have a high degree of coincidence.Even if my past and present are in two different worlds.

Dazai and Ango stood on the left and on the right, as if supporting me, we walked along the road together, this scene seemed familiar to me.

The difference is that it is daytime instead of evening, and the clothes of the three are uniformed into military and police uniforms.

Dazai specially chose a high-ranking leader for me. He said: "The leader wears the clothes of an officer, which is very reasonable."

It is indeed reasonable, but when Dazai told the plan, he also asked me to act as a "forward", asking me to be the one who opened the situation with dialogue after knocking on the door of Miyako's house.

This kind of thing that was naturally pushed to the front by everyone seemed to have happened before when worshiping the god of the tea room in the detective agency.

I examined my acting skills objectively and felt that I might not be able to do it.

But Dazai only gave this one plan, without a backup option, and said to me: "There is no problem at all, this is a script I tailor-made for Oda!"

Even Ango nodded after hearing the plan: "It's not difficult."

I was skeptical, and somewhat thought of retreating.

But this is a script specially designed by Dazai to satisfy my acting desire, so it is really hard to refuse.

With a slightly apprehensive mood, I straightened my military cap on my head, smoothed my sleeves, adjusted my belt, straightened my back, put one hand on the hilt of the rapier hanging at my waist, and walked to the place without looking sideways. In front of Miyako's house.

During this journey, Dazai and Ango insisted on whispering across me from left to right: "Although I'm a bit unwilling, but I found that Oda Saku is more handsome than me in this outfit." "Indeed, it's also very imposing and has a sense of justice. "How about creating more opportunities for Oda Saku to wear it in the future?" "Although I really want to agree with Dazai-kun, you should also have basic respect for the leader."

Ignoring the voices on both sides, I raised my hand and knocked on the door.

Dazai and Ango are still whispering across me: "Ah, by the way, Ango, there is something I forgot to tell you all the time, listen up—congratulations to Mr. Sakaguchi Ango for his promotion in advance! Clap clack!"

Ango: "What promotion?"

Dazai made a congratulatory gesture: "You are going to be the head of the intelligence department, are you happy?"

An Wu frowned: "Is this a new type of joke you just developed? It's so boring, Dazai-kun should change the target of the prank."

"It's not, I'm serious, if you don't believe me, ask Odasaku."

"Oda is the leader, this is—"

"Click—" the door opened.Ango's words were interrupted, and his expression froze in a rather stupid opening of his mouth.

Miyako was wearing a plain kimono. She was slightly surprised when she looked at us. She obviously didn't expect the military and police to come to the door, but she still greeted us gracefully.

She looks beautiful and cute, tall, with a plump body, and she wears a conservatively designed kimono with a fashion sense that only western clothes have.

This is a woman who can make Ito Rentaro fall in love at first sight. I couldn't help but raise my guard, bit the bullet and said according to the lines of the script: "Miss Miyako, we are investigating the death of an extremely dangerous person with supernatural powers. I think you know who we are talking about." .”

Miyako's face paled a little: "Is it Ito?"

"Exactly..." I nodded and continued to recite my lines, "Ito Rentaro is an important person wanted in the world. If he is captured alive, he can receive a large reward. But this is not important anymore. Now that he died suddenly in Yokohama, let us It’s a headache for the military and police.”

Miyako: "This... Could it be a misunderstanding? Ito can't be a wanted criminal. I know him. He just likes to deceive people."

"It's because he likes to deceive people, and of course he wants to deceive you too." According to the script, Ango was the second to speak.

He is in charge of playing a character with a quick temper: "Ms. Miyako knows that he is a supernatural being, right?"

Miyako nodded hesitantly: "Yes, he told me that he has an auxiliary type of supernatural ability called "Perfect Mischief", which is convenient for him to hide things. "

An Wu sneered: "Lie, his ability is clearly—"

Dazai stretched out his hand and grabbed Ango, with a smile on his face: "Haha, let's talk about Ito Rentaro's death. He died very strangely. Can Ms. Miyako provide any clues?"

Miyako noticed Dazai's face, Dazai raised his hand and brushed his hair inadvertently, Miyako's eyes stayed on Dazai's face unnaturally for two more seconds.

Is this a doubt?I'm not sure.

Miyako said, "Sorry, Ito and I are not that close."

An Wu asked anxiously: "Really? Then why is you the heir in his will?"

Dazai was a little too late to grab Ango and stop him from speaking, but failed.

Miyako was very surprised: "A will? Me?"

Dazai and Ango stopped talking, and Miyako looked at me asking for help: "Sir, please tell me what's going on, please."

It was requested as important person.I suddenly felt a little ashamed, and hoped that Miyako would not hate me if she knew the truth.

I recited purely fictitious lines: "Ito Rentaro left you a box of jewelry stored in an international bank. We have investigated it. It is a property with a clean history and its value is not too high. You can inherit it with confidence." .”

"Ito..." Miyako murmured in a low voice, showing a sad expression.She was probably touched, and deeply regretted the belated touch.

I asked her, "Since the relationship is not close, why did he leave you an inheritance?"

"Because he loves me very much." Miyako clasped her hands together tangledly, "But I have a boyfriend, and I can't betray Goro, so I can only reject Ito again and again."

She seemed to regret it.Is it regret for not accepting Ito's courtship early?

I said, "In that case, you must have had contact with each other many times. Didn't you notice that someone wanted to kill him?"

Miyako was lost in thought.

Dazai said softly: "Miss Miyako, I can additionally reveal to you that Ito Rentaro died from a supernatural power. Another supernatural power user killed him remotely through some kind of indirect contact. .”

Ango also said: "We infer that it is likely to be some kind of curse-type ability. Generally, there will be a precursor or medium for the casting of such abilities. In short, something unusual and noticeable will inevitably happen at a certain moment."

Miyako said, "Would you like some tea? I'm sorry I'm not emotionally stable, I just noticed such a rude thing now, please allow me to entertain you with Sayama tea."

"No need, what we want are clues, not tea." Anwu rudely refused, "Can't you provide any clues?"

Miyako lowered her head, as if in shame: "I'm sorry."

Dazai looked at Miyako thoughtfully, and asked softly, "Then do you want us to catch the murderer?"

Miyako raised her head and smiled wryly, this expression did not damage her beauty: "This is not a matter of wishing or not, right? If just wishing is useful, of course I hope very much."

She stared at a pot of green plants next to the entrance: "In my opinion, Ito has never been a damn person. No matter what his abilities are that make you list him as extremely dangerous, I believe he is not Bad guy."

I nodded, took out a form and put it in front of Miyako: "Then sign it."

"This is?"

"Application for the supernatural examination of Ito Liantaro's corpse. There is a supernatural person who has a special ability and can directly confirm the murderer based on the corpse. But our military and police are not qualified to order that person to do things, so we can only choose to submit the application Book."

Miyako blinked: "Then why am I signing?"

"Because you are the beneficiary of the will, Ito Rentaro is alone and has no relatives. You are the most powerful person we can find to dispose of his body."

These words made Miyako's face turn pale again, she reached out to take the watch, her hands trembling slightly, like a harbinger of some kind of attack.

I was secretly prepared to be attacked, and said while guarding: "You have time to think about it one day, it doesn't matter if you don't want to sign in the end. After all, we don't really expect to ask that person to take action. You can rest assured that what you want The inherited property will be delivered by someone later.”

Miyako thanked me respectfully, said that she would definitely think about it and give an answer tomorrow, and then sent us out of the house.

We walked to the pre-selected safe place and successfully avoided all sight and surveillance.

I always thought there would be a fight, but it didn't until the very end.And we seem to have talked for a long time but haven't gotten any useful information.

When mentioning that it might be a curse-like ability, Miyako didn't give a positive answer, as if she was deliberately hiding something.

But this is just my personal idealistic conjecture. In fact, whether Miyako has subjective intentions is completely uncertain, maybe it's just a coincidence.

I looked at Dazai, and Dazai looked quite content.Am I overlooking some clue?

"How do you feel Odasaku? You have performed successfully from the beginning to the end." Dazai looked satisfied, "Ms. Miyako completely believes that you are the chief of the military and police. She admires you very much."

"It feels good." I said honestly. "Miyako probably doesn't worship me, she's just afraid of my sword."

In fact, I didn't have the sense of accomplishment as I imagined, and I also felt a little deceptively ashamed halfway through.

The trip was summed up as follows: Ordinary lied without being questioned.So it is difficult for me to have any further experience on this.

Dazai looked longingly: "Really? Then I have to go out with a sword in the future. It doesn't matter whether women are afraid of me, what matters is that if I accidentally fall, I might be stabbed to death by the sword. "

I said: "There is a high probability that I will not die from the stabbing, but I may fracture due to the impact."

Dazai showed distressed expression: "That would be a headache."

Ango didn't participate in our discussion, and said to himself: "It's the same as the investigation beforehand. Ms. Miyako doesn't know anything about the military and police. She believes everything we say, and she tacitly accepts that the military and police are polite and friendly in handling matters according to the law. Administration."

Dazai turned his head and squinted at Ango, and said in a strange voice: "Oh, what did I hear just now? Ango, you are not soft-spoken at all for blackmailing the military and police."

Anwu said without changing his tone: "It's not to blackmail them, but to tell the truth. But if you know a little bit about the role of the military and police, you won't be able to have such outrageous thoughts."

I said, "I don't feel like I've gained anything substantial from this trip. I can't tell if Miyako is suspicious. I can only feel that she's hiding something. It didn't go well."

"No, it's actually quite smooth. The purpose of this performance has been successfully achieved, and the next is the harvest period." Dazai spread his palms, and there were two pairs of mini earphones on his palms.

He pointed to his ears, and I realized that Dazai had put on a pair of mini headphones at some point.

Ango and I each took a pair and put them on.At the same time, I felt an indescribable sense of emptiness in my heart.

It turns out that he deliberately disguised himself and performed so many lines, just to throw a bug at Miyako's house?

I will never speak out, I feel like I wasted my feelings.

There was a sound coming from the headset, and Miyako was eager to dial the phone as soon as we left.According to her address, the call was made to Noma Goro.

"Goro, Ito was killed by you, right?" the feminine soft voice said, in a painful and urgent tone.

"You specifically asked me to invite Yidong to drink tea. You brought that cup of tea to me yourself. He died not long after I asked Yidong to drink it."

……

At the end of the call, Dazai, Ango and I took off the earphones together, and neither of us spoke immediately.

I realized that this thing was getting weird.If the deceased is really Ito Rentaro, everything may have come to a conclusion.

Although there is no evidence, the port mafia does not need evidence to determine who is guilty. It can be declared that Noma Goro is the murderer based on what Miyako said to Noma Goro when he called.

But the deceased was ace, and Noma Goro didn't know ace at all, and he didn't let ace drink any tea.

It can't be that Ito Rentaro spit out the tea he drank and forced ace to drink it.

I texted Hirojin asking if Ito is still alive?The answer I got was that he was still alive, and he was still playing a cadre very successfully.

Ango thought for a while before saying: "Could it be because you believed the deceased we announced. So this phone call was specially performed for us to watch? To make Noma Goro a scapegoat?"

Dazai shook his head: "Ango, regardless of other things, do you not trust our perfect performance just now? There is no point in guessing. Noma Goro will come to meet Miyako soon, we just need to ask them face to face."

I said, "Why ask in person?"

"Of course it is the way of the port mafia, directly caught and interrogated in the dungeon... Ah! I almost forgot, it is Odasaku's port mafia now." Dazai smiled, as if he suddenly became happy.

"Let's leave the old way to the past. It's time to create a new style. We don't change our clothes anymore, and continue to be military and police."

Want to act?

Although I don't feel tired, I am already a little bored.

Seeing Dazai's enthusiastic expression and Ango's frowning in deep thought, I swallowed the words I wanted to refuse.

I said, "Okay, how do you want to play it?"

"First of all, the purpose of the performance must be clarified. I don't think we have been seen through. Assuming that the deceased is really Ito Rentaro, Noma Goro is the murderer. After hearing Miyako's almost undisguised disclosure on the phone, he already knows that the military and police got it. Miyako's signature can lock the murderer, what will he do?"

Dazai waved his index finger: "I bet he will choose to kill Miyako."

I noticed Dazai's expression.This overly smart child can easily predict the development of things because he has seen through the evil of human nature.Regardless of whether he is right or not, his view of "people" is undoubtedly pessimistic and negative.

The author has something to say: First of all, thank you for your comments in the last chapter, whether they cooperated with me or caused trouble.

But I didn’t live up to it, I got sick orz just as soon as I patted my belly happily, the problem is not big, I will continue to update, the biggest problem now is that I don’t know if it is possible to make up all the owed updates...
