====================

One of the children who witnessed the drowning process was a single-parent family, and the single woman had been struggling to survive with her children.

Perhaps the careless mother was busy working to support the family and did not pay attention to the child's friendship problem. When she was notified by the police, she suddenly found that her child was one step away from death.

Osamu Dazai chose this family to start with.

"...Hello?" The woman with a tired face opened the door, fixed her eyes on them, and asked with some vigilance, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

As soon as the door was opened, Dazai immediately changed to another person.

"Hello, ma'am." Dazai looked at her from the corner of his eye with a rare serious face, his eyes downcast, and his tone seemed very impatient, "We are from the Metropolitan Police Department, and we will conduct a case study on you again for the last case. Ask."

It's just a change in expression and movement, even though he still looks handsome and young, now he looks like an official who has been in high positions all year round.

Although the woman was a little puzzled, seeing his expression, she immediately became cowardly.Welcoming them into the house carefully, he hurriedly served tea to the two of them.

During the questioning process, Dazai still had the haughty expression, and the commanding tone made the woman dare not hide it at all.Even many things that are not in the documents are said.

No wonder Dazai asked with such a posture.

In order to support her family, this woman has been in a position dominated by high-level officials all year round, and her work is strictly regulated.In her opinion, there are some things that can be said but not said, and these words will not be concealed only in the face of the tone of the question.

The woman's confession plus Dazai's ability to analyze beyond the script.In this way, the reason why the companion of the drowned child did not call for the adult will become clear.

The ten-year-old boy who fell into the water first injured his five fingers on his right hand while playing firecrackers three years ago.Only some unpopular children who like to bully young children are willing to take him, but they mainly bully him.

They were playing tennis on the bank of the river that day. During the dispute, the tennis ball fell on the water, and they asked him to pick it up.Unexpectedly, many fishing nets suddenly appeared in the river that used to be good, entangled him tightly.For a moment, the calm river opened its mouth like a sinking abyss, swallowing him completely.

The rest of the kids wanted to call an adult, but the 12-year-old stopped them.He said, do you want to be charged with murder?

They dare not move.

But the 12-year-old went down.

Who knew that after this trip, he would never be able to come up again.

Why are there no adults on the river bank where people fish all the year round?Why are there so many fishing nets in the river?Why did the 12-year-old kid stop others and go down by himself?Why didn't they call for help? ...

Too many obvious problems appeared in her mind, and her heart became heavy.

Ayase Yui followed Dazai out of the surviving child's house, with a calm tone, "What do you think?"

"It's just a clumsy guy trying to show off his ability." Dazai put his hands behind his head and said leisurely.

"Huh?" Yui Ayase subconsciously thought that he wasn't talking about those children.

"For these children, the most important thing is the admiration and awe of their peers. Just a little provocation can push one or several of them into the abyss."

"The murderer is just holding such a simple and self-satisfied idea."

Ayase Yui wanted to ask clearly, but Dazai didn't want to explain right now.He raised a finger and slowly placed it on his lips. The smile on his face was like a dense mist, covering his true emotions, making it difficult to see clearly——

"Hush, I have a guess, let's verify it first."

"Huh? What guess?"

Ayase Yui immediately became energetic and high-spirited.

The reason why she didn't speak all the way was because of this moment!The answer to the script monster of the white female ticket!

Beautiful girls can't lose!

Dazai pressed her head down and laughed out loud, "Well~ I'll tell you later."

As for when 'after'?It may be a second later, but it may also be after the game is won.

**

They rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department very quickly.

This made Ayase Yui subconsciously think that Dazai knew the breaking point long ago.The previous behavior of going to the river was just to go to the water for daily use, and to go through the inquiry process by the way.

"You don't already know who the murderer is, do you?" Yui Ayase asked suspiciously.

In the end, Dazai answered yes frankly.

Yui Ayase:! ! !

Looking at Dazai's smiling expression.She could only comfort herself in her heart.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as she says the murderer's name first, then she still wins the game!

The next step is to observe who Dazai is paying attention to!

After Ayase Yui gave herself psychological comfort, she followed this childish ghost step by step into the office of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Just a little late, that man broke into these people by virtue of his identity as a member of the Armed Detective Agency and his sharp eloquence.

Seeing Yui Ayase stepping in, a young police officer who looked out from inside asked Dazai with some disappointment, "Mr. Ranpo didn't come this time?"

"No." Dazai sat back on the chair, with his hands loosely resting on it.The two long legs moved across the back of the chair like a crab. "Mr. Ranpo has another case to deal with."

Yui Ayase was about to sit down when she suddenly received a text message on her mobile phone - from Osamu Dazai.

? ? ?Why are you still texting face to face?

She complained in her heart, but kept moving her hands, avoiding everyone's eyes and secretly clicked on the text message:

[Matsuno Ippei, newly appointed police department last year.As a good seed of the police academy, he has a bright future, but he has always looked down on others with pride, and has a bad relationship with everyone around him.It has always been believed that supernatural beings are "monsters" with simple minds and well-developed limbs.After witnessing Edogawa Ranpo's ability in the case of cooperation between the military police and the detective agency, he became his little fan.Every time a detective agency comes to handle a case, it will ask about the whereabouts of Mr. Ranpo. 】

It didn't look like Dazai's tone, but rather some personal information.

But Dazai pays so much attention to him, and even specially sent himself an introduction message, could it be——

Could it be that this person is the murderer! ?

Ayase Yui sat up straight, her eyes were fixed on him, her lips were tightly pursed and she waited solemnly.

Over there, Matsuno Ippei tried his best to ignore her gaze, and his face unconsciously became tense.I had to find something to divert her attention.

Matsuno Ippei knew some of Osamu Dazai's preferences.For example--

Crab.

He smiled with difficulty, and said without thinking, "Did Mr. Dazai turn into a crab after eating too many crabs?"

——The gaze that looked at him became even more glaring.

Ayase Yui stared straight at him, even more undisguised.She was surprised by how familiar the young police officer was with Osamu Dazai.

This familiar tone and ironic words are as obvious and dazzling as sunlight shining into dust.

Dazai's eyes flashed, and he asked him with a smile, "Do you know anything about Officer Tanaka?"

His face wrinkled, and he pretended to be wronged and complained, "I feel that he is very unfriendly to us~ Is there any reason?"

Matsuno Ippei was stunned for a moment, and then thoughtfully replied, "I heard that Mr. Tanaka was also a talented, capable, and aggressive person when he was young."

"Back then, Mr. Tanaka had a very high rate of solving crimes in the Metropolitan Police Department, and he could be regarded as a rising star. It is a pity that he offended Councilor Ito..." Matsuno Ippei said with regret, "After that, he has been working in the archives room."

"Rep. Ito?" Dazai put his hands in the pockets of the camel-colored windbreaker, leaned against his desk, and asked him with a smile, "There is a dispute with the deceased. Logically speaking, this case should be avoided, right?"

"That's true." Matsuno Ippei was a little surprised when he saw Dazai getting up and leaning towards him, and took a step back involuntarily, but immediately realized something was wrong.With a hint of imperceptible panic, he said, "But after investigation, it was found that Mr. Tanaka had no time to commit crimes around the time of Representative Ito's death, and there was sufficient evidence during this period. In addition, this case was discovered by him. Therefore, Mr. Tanaka was appointed as the person in charge..."

"—Didi." A voice similar to a timer interrupted him.Ayase Yui noticed that Matsuno Ippei's pupils shrank suddenly, and soon returned to their original state.

Dazai took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at the large paragraph of text on the screen, and the corners of his mouth opened in an obvious arc.

There is no doubt that this is a very charming smile, with long eyelashes, elegant and intoxicating, with a hint of imperceptible pride.In Ayase Yui's eyes, it was full of lust.

Even she was dazed for a moment.

But after seeing this familiar smile clearly, Ayase Yui only felt that someone was going to be unlucky.

'Wherever he goes, evil happens! Yui Ayase dubbed him with a thick voice in her heart, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sure enough, Dazai lowered his head slightly, approached Matsuno Ippei's ear, and whispered something.His face turned pale in an instant, and he took a few steps back one after another, as if he had discovered some secret, terrified.

Neither of them paid attention to Yui Ayase who laughed out loud.

Seriously speaking, it was Matsuno Ippei who had no time to take care of her.

Dazai turned around with a smile, raised his legs and walked towards the door.When passing Yui Ayase, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her out together.

Ayase Yui didn't understand what he was going to do, but she followed his strength and walked out together.

She finally couldn't help but asked tentatively, "Is he the murderer?"

"Huh?" Dazai intentionally misinterpreted her words, "Is Yui-chan trying to admit defeat by asking me the answer so directly?"

This is the aggressive method!Who would be fooled!Yui Ayase thought this in her heart, but said involuntarily:

——"Of course not! I can find the murderer myself!"

Ayase Yui shook off his hand and walked forward angrily.In my heart, I spurned myself for being so careless.

snort!She can also find the murderer herself, she has already discovered the murderer's modus operandi before!

Dazai saw that she was being driven away by him, so he couldn't help but smiled briefly, and quickly chased after her.

"Hey~ Wei-chan didn't even ask me why I was leaving just now?" Dazai's voice actually contained a trace of grievance.

He crossed his hands behind his head, and complained in a relaxed and lazy posture, "Will Weijiang really be angry?"

Yui Ayase ignored him.

Dazai had no choice but to answer his own question, "Because Mr. Ranpo asked us to go back as soon as possible~"

"Is Weijiang really not curious?"

"Wei-chan is really indifferent~" Osamu Dazai pursed his lips with grievance, and his whole body took on some gloomy colors.

This person is definitely pretending!

Even though he thought so, Yui Ayase still looked away awkwardly, and silently slowed down her pace.

——However, what did Mr. Ranbu send a text message asking them to go back?

hateful!Why did this person stop talking halfway!Yui Ayase became even more angry.

She will never ask!She would rather wait until the detective agency to ask Ranpo-kun!

Beautiful girls never give in!

Ayase Yui ruffled her hair irritably, bit her lower lip unconsciously, her heart was itchy as if being scratched by a cat.

——Ahhh!What exactly is Ranbu-kun asking them to do!

……

Although Dazai said he wanted to rush back as soon as possible, he walked slowly towards the river again after walking out of the Metropolitan Police Department.

There are two rows of lush cherry trees standing on the shore, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, the breeze blows slowly, and the light, shadow and leaves play a spring waka.

Suddenly, the thick black mist invisible to ordinary people quickly soaked the river, and the black mist spread, covering the originally clear river airtightly.A few vengeful spirits wearing blue-gray armor and holding giant axes rushed out from the stream, smelling the strong breath of spiritual power, they roared and surrounded them, and the giant axes chopped down with a "boom".

Ayase Yui activated the protective barrier long ago when he noticed the abnormal movement. The spiritual power barrier as clear as a clear sea formed an inverted semi-circular bowl to firmly protect the two of them. Not moving at all.

It's just a few ordinary wraiths with average combat power, and she can deal with them effortlessly.

but……

Regardless of her image, she grinned and laughed wantonly.

Ayase Yui looked at Dazai, and then at the scattered passers-by who didn't realize it.She gave him a look, meaning something.

Dazai instantly understood what she wanted to do, his whole face was wrinkled, his kite-colored eyes widened unconsciously, he waved his hands repeatedly to refuse, and his tone also carried a hint of coquettishness, "No way, no way, Weichan, this can’t work~ These vengeful spirits are too disgusting~ They’re even weirder than the colorful paramecium~”

Yui Ayase said confidently, "This is the least noisy way."

That's right, she didn't do it to be lazy!Even if she went up by herself, she couldn't let pedestrians not notice.

Thinking of this, Ayase Simple Lazy Yui unceremoniously opened a hole in the barrier and pushed Dazai out.

"Ahhh—" Dazai screamed loudly, as if he had been tortured by an indescribable blow.

When the sporadic passers-by heard the sound just now, they all ran away without even looking at it.

...As expected of a Yokohama native, the ability to avoid danger is engraved in his bone marrow.

Yui Ayase sighed secretly.But the scene when she turned her head left her speechless for an instant.

Because Yui Ayase was in a shielded space, the resentful spirits smelled a strong spiritual power and surrounded Dazai Osamu.

——But Dazai wriggled like a piece of soft seaweed, successfully avoiding all contact with the wraith.

Yui Ayase: ...

Yui Ayase clenched her fist, and used a spell to turn it into a long hemp rope, holding Dazai in place.

……wait wait wait.

This binding method, could it be...
