Special investigation report from Yokohama

The lights in the bar were dim, as if they had never changed.Osamu Dazai looked sideways at his friend's almost unchanged face, and raised a faint smile.

If you answer "no" at this time, Oda Sakunosuke will definitely not believe it.So he said ambiguously: "The 'combination' goes bankrupt, and there will be no major events in Yokohama in the short term. But there is still some finishing work to be done."

As he spoke, he stood up and shrugged his shoulders relaxedly at his friend: "Suddenly remembered something that must be dealt with, so I'm leaving first."

"Be careful on the road." Oda Sakunosuke warned, watching him step up the steps leaving the bar.

A young man in a sand-colored windbreaker walked alone on the street at night with his hands in his pockets.The night in Yokohama is always much quieter than other cities. The time before the sun rises belongs to the Mafia, and no ordinary citizen will stay outside too much.

Therefore, the young man humming and pressing down on the road is particularly abrupt.The young man himself didn't care about the abruptness, he walked slowly across the street and walked into a park close to the city center.

There are noisy people here during the day, but at night it is so quiet that there is only the wind blowing through the leaves. Except for a few neatly trimmed bushes, this place is too empty to hide anyone, and it is quite a suitable place for plotting.

The youth seemed quite satisfied with the place he had chosen.He looked around and suddenly looked in an empty direction.

"You don't seem to be suitable for stalking people at night, please show up," he recalled Hong Yao's address to Fu Sangshen who accompanied her in the detective agency, "Mr. Yingmaru."

"Well, I guessed it - there's nothing I can do about it." The silent night suddenly became turbulent, and after a ripple-like fluctuation in the scenery in front of him, a young man with a dagger at his waist appeared not far from Osamu Dazai.

Except for the faint blackness on his body and those blood-red eyes, he looks exactly like the young man who accompanied Hongyao to visit Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Long time no see," he said calmly, "Farewell in the alley, you don't seem to have kept your promise."

"I didn't promise you anything."

Ying Wan thought about it for a while, and then nodded in agreement: "That's true."

He obviously really thought so, and his expression was not perfunctory at all, nor did he feel any dissatisfaction with Dazai Osamu's behavior.Osamu Dazai didn't speak, and he didn't mean to shy away from Osamu Dazai, he frowned in distress: "So, it won't work at all to ask your Excellency to pass on the message."

"You never thought of relying on me to convey the message from the very beginning." Osamu Dazai pointed out this point flatly, "As a subordinate who is deeply trusted by the young lady, she will not doubt any information you convey to her. The reason why you want to borrow I'm afraid that my oral message is to arouse her doubts and lead her to this park. Although I don't have the miraculous power of Miss, I have some experience in tracking—there is an ambush in this park."

"A trustworthy subordinate...Maybe." Yingmaru's face still maintained that inexplicable indifference, and he didn't care about Dazai Osamu's revealing behavior, and even answered every question, "As for the ambush, Maybe, maybe not. Their actions are not all under my control, and I am not all their leader-but since she didn't come, then don't worry about these little things."

"You have to turn a corner to find me for something you can do by yourself, which means that you don't intend to really threaten Miss Hongyao's life, and you don't plan to expose it for the time being." Osamu Dazai heard him revealing his shortcomings, with an expression on his face. She didn't move, and continued to analyze, "But it won't last long, as long as the lady asks me, I will definitely reveal the truth, so in your plan, Miss Hongyao won't live for long."

Umaru just listened calmly.

The young man suddenly raised the corners of his lips, and changed the topic: "You want me to think this way. The plan is very good, but compared to your purpose, it is too superfluous. The gap between you is indeed very small, even It can be ignored. But the more you do this, the more you reveal your identity."

"You used to be Miss Hongyao's subordinate, too." Although it was a question, Dazai Osamu's tone was quite firm, "Now Omaru appeared after you, as for the reason why he appeared-I guess, it was Miss Hongyao Thought you were dead, didn't you?"

Umaru was really a little surprised this time.However, he himself is not a person with intense emotions, and this surprise was fleeting. Soon he accepted the fact that he had misled and failed, and nodded in affirmation of Osamu Dazai's guess: "It's absolutely correct."

As he spoke, he sighed softly, and a touch of regret flashed across his almost inorganic red eyes in a very humane way: "Sure enough, not everyone in this world will be as stupid as Da Baoping."

"Let's save some face for Da Baoping once in a while, he's just more prone to passion." Before Osamu Dazai could answer, a female voice that both of them were familiar with suddenly broke in.

Umaru and Osamu Dazai looked at the sound at the same time, and Hong Yao walked slowly from the path of the lawn. Perhaps they were too wary of each other, but neither of them noticed her appearance.

"Miss Hongyao?" Dazai Osamu was a little puzzled.He was sure that Hongyao would not know his movements through any means, and he also strictly guarded against the opportunity of Yingwan to deliver news to Hongyao.

At this time, the meeting with Ango had just ended and Kyoka had been sent away, no matter how she thought about it, she should not be in the mood to hang out.

Osamu Dazai was puzzled, and Umaru was also puzzled.

"I don't remember leaving any clues." He asked Hong Yao directly, "I know you, you shouldn't be able to find me."

"Indeed." Koyaku said as he walked over, "I didn't realize that one day you would mix with the retrograde army. If it wasn't for Onimaru's desperate warning, I would not have known that you were among the enemies wiped out until I left. Bar."

Yingmaru froze for a moment.

Onimaru Kunizun—they were not familiar with them when they were in Honmaru. The Awataguchi sect has no connection with the Kobizen sect. Except for Da Baohei who will go forward to challenge unyieldingly, Umaru has nothing outstanding about this silent and withdrawn head of the Awataguchi family impression.

"Sure enough, compared to the Five Swords under Heaven, Da Baoping is still a little tender." He sighed.

This famous knife who has witnessed a thousand years of history is not stupid, just mentioning a name by Hong Yao is enough for him to connect the whole story.

"Onimaru Temple is the earliest one who has fallen into darkness. He has the characteristics of being a ghost himself, and he loses his mind very quickly. I thought he only had the fighting instinct left, but I didn't expect that he would still be sober." If you have Su Si, "Then, he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight against the Hikakiri Temple that day, presumably to convey a message."

"Maybe." Probably because he had rehearsed many times in his heart, at this time, Hong Yao's voice was able to remain calm, "You are right, he has almost completely lost consciousness, and has blindly cut his mustache and Katsumaru attacked as a ghost. Until the end, he only left a few words, but it was easy to deduce what he wanted to say."

"There will be ghosts coming to her." This is what Onimaru told Hikiri at the end.He almost completely lost his mind, and no one knows how he recognized Hikakiri as her sword in such a serious situation.Maybe it was thanks to the blessing of the Spiritual Knife, maybe it was just a flashback before he died, but he succeeded in the end.Higakiri recognized the familiar spiritual power from the fragments of Onimaru, and after investigating, he told the matter to the examiner.

"Onimaru's state is not enough for him to command the retrograde army, and his character is not suitable for doing this. So I tricked you out of A's mouth." Said, Hong Yao had already walked between the two.Although her voice was getting tighter and tighter, she still tried her best to maintain a calm expression, but her eyes were fixed on Ying Wan without blinking, and she refused to let go of any tiny movements and expressions of him.

"Miss." Osamu Dazai reminded in a low voice behind Hong Yao.

When Hong Yao heard it, she stopped walking towards Ying Wan, turned her face to the side, and waved her hand slightly at Osamu Dazai: "It's okay."

Osamu Dazai put his hands back into his pockets and fell silent.Obviously, he, a complete outsider, should not have interfered in this conversation between the former lord and the traitor.

"Well, you've grown up too. Compared with before, this kind of change is no longer a detail that you can ignore."

"I took this as a compliment like Yingwan." Hongyao continued to walk towards Yingwan, "After all, four years have passed, and you have changed a lot in places I don't know, Yingwan. This is me dereliction of duty."

"But even if I'm a negligent master, I have a little understanding of the vibrating sword of 'Yingmaru'. Just like I know that I should come here to find you tonight, I also know that you will never be a sword that falls easily. I I want to know what happened, Umaru."

For a moment, Ying Wan seemed to have a very complicated expression on his face.But when you look closely, he is still as calm as ever in the "Yingwan style".He raised his right hand and put it lightly on the handle of the knife: "I can't remember clearly, when I remember, I will be in the current state, maybe because I can get more powerful power in this way—well, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, just Be what you imagined."

"Have you gained more power now?"

"At least my condition is indeed better than that of Onimaru Kunisana. Well, this is also very obvious."

Hongyao stopped in front of Yingwan.

"Then draw the knife to me." She said softly.

"Miss--"

Koyaku raised a hand to stop Osamu Dazai from speaking.She didn't look back, she still stared at Ying Wan's blood-red eyes persistently, and said in a calm voice, "I didn't bring anyone with me, and I didn't have any weapons. If you choose the side of the retrograde army in order to gain power, you can go to I will draw the knife."

silence.

Hongyao's unreasonable behavior not only surprised Osamu Dazai, but even Yingmaru didn't know how to deal with it.There was no emotion in his red eyes, but those present could clearly sense his hesitation.

"What are you waiting for? Isn't this the purpose of the retrograde army?"

It seemed that his suppressed emotions had found a reason to erupt because of his silence. Hong Yao's voice trembled slightly, and he paused every word, almost out of control: "You are a masterpiece that has been handed down for thousands of years by Youcheng, and you are the world-famous Ying Tai Dao. Enemy indecision has never been your style."

She was breathing hard, and her whole body was trembling slightly because of the excitement.

"Show me the aura to face the enemy!" Koyaku roared at the silent Taidao with an almost incomprehensible cry, "Koubizen's Yingmaru, draw the sword!"
