After I divorced from chaos step

I did not find my father, to be precise, I did not find Mr. Jin.

A day ago, Gogol was rescued by the detective agency and Akiko Yosano, and after healed his injuries, he was handed over to Ango Sakaguchi of the Ability Department.I watched him being handcuffed and taken away. In order to prevent him from escaping halfway through his ability, Osamu Dazai was assigned by Fukuzawa Yukichi to escort him until Gogol was sent to the original prison.

Before leaving, Osamu Dazai showed me the way to find Mr. Tsu.

Mr. Tsu was also eyeing the book before, and even seduced Osamu Dazai, mentioning the resurrection of Oda Sakunosuke.Go to him, maybe even the last page of the book will be taken away by him, if he threatens me with my father's life, then I really have nothing to do.

I confessed all these things to Fukuzawa Yukichi from beginning to end.

He is the most trusted and respected person in Ranpo, and also an elder I respect very much.

"Mr. Fukuzawa, there is no complete book, only one page. It is difficult to write enough content to cover the logic of the entire real world. I need his help." Tea Stem, "But there's a good chance he'll... take the book."

After hearing my words, Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a long time.

Two tea stalks stood up in my teacup, which was an excellent omen, more or less gave me a little psychological comfort before the unknown happened.

No problem, there must be no problem, I said to myself.

"Qingxi, don't be in a hurry." Fukuzawa Yukichi finally spoke, his voice was very steady, just like when he was helping me persuade Ranbu to divorce, "Maybe the purpose of that gentleman is not the book. , There is really no need for him to lie dormant for so many years."

"He also has friends who want to be resurrected."

"But he's not from this world, is he?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked rhetorically.

Mr. Jin was picked up by his father by accident after he committed suicide in another time and space.Strictly speaking, it's just a ghost.

Although Osamu Dazai yelled all day long about committing suicide and dying for love, and was either jumping into the river or hanging himself every day, he was always playing and didn't really die, otherwise he would just buy a bottle of paraquat and find someone far away from Akiko Yosano Drink a few sips somewhere, and you will die no matter how hard your life is.

Unlike him, Mr. Jin is really dead.

It is said to be the most decisive suicide by jumping off a building.Jumping into rivers and seas, lying on rails, and taking sleeping pills, these methods of suicide are close to death for a period of time. If you regret it, there is hope that you will regret it halfway.Jumping off a building does not leave any room for thinking.

I can even imagine the scene of Izutsu jumping from a tall building without hesitation in the dead of night.

If it's not that you don't have any expectations for the world, then you've got what you want.

Regarding the law of [Book], he knew far better than Tuo Si.Because Tuo Si has not succeeded so far, the world remains the same, but he has succeeded.

So, what did he accomplish with the [book]?

"Mr. Fukuzawa, when we meet next time, I will hand over Ranpo-san to the detective agency."

——That's what I said, but I'm not completely sure in my heart.

It's just that the conversation with Fukuzawa Yukichi, the two tea stalks standing upright, the kind eyes of everyone in the detective agency, and the letter left by Luanbu in the pocket, all gathered together, and made my heart feel so happy. It has no bottom filled.

I declined the kindness of Kunikida Doppo and Miyazawa Kenji to accompany me. After all, Mr. Jin is different from the five decays of heaven and man. He is not only more sophisticated, but he also lives in my father's body.

When I returned to Kamakura, I only saw my mother and Ms. Yasuko who were picking vegetables with Grandma Hanamaru, and my father was not at home.

"He's gone on a business trip, and it will take several days." My mother told me truthfully, she is the only one who doesn't know everything about the situation, and she still works as her physical education teacher from Monday to Friday, and plays hard on Saturdays and Sundays. Her mahjong, and occasionally worry about my relationship with Ranpo.

Grandma Huamaru's duck farm is gone, and they also kept this from their mother. They only said that they were tired and came to recuperate for a while, and the careless mother believed it.

I asked Grandma Hanamaru what her plans were in the future. She was implicated innocently and almost lost her whole life.But she didn't complain at all, and continued to fiddle with the pickle jar: "Find something else to do." Finally, she winked at me mysteriously: "I used to plan to try something new, and now I have the opportunity."

I can't see any heart-piercing and sense of loss after experiencing such a drastic change.

I remembered that after Xingzuo's grandfather disappeared, she stood up quickly and started a new life. Even without Xingzuo's grandfather, she would live a long and colorful life.

"It's not on a business trip. That guy has gone somewhere." Miss Taizi said to me secretly, "I tried to track him down, but he threw him away. I thought he was looking for you."

According to Mr. Jin's posture before, he should indeed come to me immediately, but now the situation is reversed - does he know that I will go to him?

The unit where my father works, the pier where my father often goes fishing, and the seaside cottage where Mr. Jin and I lived. I have searched all these common places, but there is no sign of him.

No one answered the phone, and the call was on the phone.

Just as I was about to search Kamakura again, someone called me.

Not Mr. Jin, but Nakahara Chuya.

"Chuya, what do you want from me?"

I was a little nervous when I answered the phone because I wasn't sure what his intentions were right now.

We are friends, no doubt about it.In the process of searching for the book, he spared no effort to help us a lot, but some of these things were based on the orders of the leader of Hong Kong gangsters and his boss, Mori Ogai.

It is known that Mori Ogai asked him to help us find books, but Chuya Nakahara did not tell us the unknown part.

Osamu Dazai clicked on it, and he gave him a hard time, so there must be instructions from the second half.

"I have something to do with you. Let's meet and tell, where are you, I'll pick you up."

His voice was very calm, coming through the phone, clear and slightly magnetic.

"If you have anything to say, you can also talk on the phone."

"It's faster to meet and talk." He sneered, "Where are you?"

I hesitated for a moment, and after telling him the address, I bought two cups of milk tea with ice at the intersection.While waiting for the order, I started to figure out what my chances of winning would be if I fought with Zhongyuan Zhong.

Estimated to be zero, he can instantly kill me with one move.

The milk tea is ready, and Zhongyuan Zhong has also arrived. He is driving a sports car.

When the car window was lowered, he saw the milk tea in my hand and raised his eyebrows: "You bought it too."

I opened the car door, sat in the co-pilot, and understood the meaning of the word "also".On the armrest box, there are also two cups of milk tea firmly placed.

It's just that what he bought was milk tea from a tea restaurant, while I bought it casually on the street. The comparison between the two pales in comparison.

I wanted to put my two cups of milk tea by my feet, but he took one away, poked it open with a straw and took a big gulp.

"It tastes like cantaloupe, it tastes good." He pursed his lips, seeing that I didn't move, and asked, "Why don't you drink it?" He pointed to the milk tea he bought: "I didn't add sugar."

I don't like adding sugar to my coffee or milk tea. He also remembered this small detail that was only mentioned once.

I poke open the plastic wrap with a straw and take a sip.After drinking half a cup of milk tea, we broke the stiff atmosphere.

"I--"

"I--"

He spoke at the same time, I was a little embarrassed, he smiled and said: "You speak first."

I hesitated about how to speak, and made several drafts in my mind. He waited patiently without urging me, and reached out to turn on the switch of the car music.

Soft pure music flows slowly, filling the entire space.

"Zhongye, I'm looking for books to revive Ranpo, I owe him a life, I must save him."

Nakahara also tilted his shoulders leisurely, not looking like he wanted to ask me for a book.

"No matter who wants this page, I will not let it out." After a pause, I said, "I know that Chief Sen is obsessed with this thing, and I know that you are absolutely loyal to him and Gang Hei, but I... I won't give you the book."

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked away, put down the milk tea cup slowly, and only let out a chuckle after a long time.

"You can beat me?"

"Can't beat." This is obvious.

"Since you can't beat it, how can you protect it? It won't be taken away by me after defeating it. Why don't you obediently admit defeat and give it to me now."

It was a sentence that was very close to reality, but he said it lightly, with a hint of ridicule.

"If you can't fight, you have to fight." I subconsciously touched the pocket of the skirt pants, and the page of the book was there, "If you say a few words, I will admit defeat. Do I want to lose face?"

"Okay, don't be so angry." Zhongyuan Zhong also turned his face, his eyes were full of helplessness, "I'm just kidding you."

I turned my face away: "This joke is not funny at all."

"Hey, don't be angry." He took out an envelope from the storage box, "I'll show you something nice."

The envelope was stuffed bulgingly, as if it contained a thick stack of banknotes.

"Don't try to bribe me." I pushed the envelope away.

"What bought you?" Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned, then seemed to understand something, and explained, "It's not money."

He threw the envelope to me again, and turned to poke another cup of iced milk tea.

"If you don't look at it, I will throw it away."

"Oh."

I opened the envelope, and what I found wasn't the banknotes I thought it was, but——

"This is, Oda Sakunosuke?"

Oda Sakunosuke, the person Tsu-san and Osamu Dazai mentioned many times.

Zhong Yuanzhong also drank milk tea "sucking and sucking". Usually he would never make any noise when drinking, but today he acted like a child.

The contents of the envelope are all information about Oda Sakunosuke.

It was so detailed that even his eating preference during his lifetime was curry and rice.

"Chuya, where did you get these things?" He said before that he didn't know Oda Sakunosuke, so he shouldn't have such information.

"Given by the leader."

"is it?"

I don't believe Mori Ogai would be so kind, the remuneration and interest must be frighteningly expensive.

"I'm not interested in your book." Nakahara Nakaya said, "Grandma Hanamaru called me and said you couldn't find that guy. The leader helped to find that Oda's cemetery. Go there now. Maybe that guy Right there now."

"Chuya, what deal did Mr. Mori make with you...?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also stared blankly, then lowered the brim of his hat, and the corners of his lips slowly curved.

"Don't think too much, it's not a big deal."

How could this not be a big deal?

Provide the information of Oda Sakunosuke, and give up the book that has been coveting, I can't guess what kind of deal Nakahara Chuya and Mori Ogai, who regards profit as the top priority, have made.

Since profit is paramount, the terms he promised should be far more worthwhile than the book and my ability.

"Don't look at me like that... Well, let me tell you, the leader has deducted all my year-end bonus." Nakahara Nakaya shrugged, biting his straw and said, "This year's outstanding employees are also ruined, alas, a heavy loss .”

"Certainly not! It's impossible to just deduct money."

How could Mori Ogai mention such innocuous conditions?

"Did he let you—"

"Stop talking!" Zhongyuan Zhong also interrupted me, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and turned into a serious look, "You have time to worry about these meaningless things here, why don't you do it earlier What to do. Time won't wait for you."

I stared blankly at him.

His eyes became very clear.Blue itself is an extremely clear color.

It is the purest color.

"Go, time won't wait for you, but I... will wait for you here."

"Yes!"

I hugged the envelope, opened the door, and got out of the car.

"Qingxi!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also stopped me, and when I turned around, he opened the car window and threw something at me.

I reached out and caught it.

"Take it."

What he threw was a Russian nesting doll.

It is exactly the same as the nesting doll I saw in Tuo Si's secret room, but it is much older, and the patterns on it are a little worn out.

This is a matryoshka doll I bought and lost.

I opened layer by layer.

There is a note in the innermost doll, on which I encouraged myself and wrote to myself in the early years: I have to live even if I die.

Looking at it now, it’s a bit embarrassing and a bit nostalgic.

I turned over the note, and there was also a line of text written on the back.

The noon sun hit it, refracting a layer of pleasing light.

In black and white, the handwriting is clear.

I want to see you, real joy.
