After sending away the unconscious god trouble editor Maeno-kun, the three of them finally sat down and had a good talk.

"So, you two have known each other since childhood?"

Kunikida looked at the fair-skinned, bright-eyed girl with dewy eyes, exquisite facial features and a bit of heroic air, and suddenly realized that the women Dazai knew were all pretty good looking.

Kunikida-kun, who had been shocked too much before, was no longer confused, and reacted quite calmly after hearing that Dazai and Izumi were acquaintances.Not to mention knowing Dazai, even if Izumi said that she knew him from the Secretary-General of the United Nations, she wouldn't be surprised.

Kunikida thought to himself, since the two had known each other since they were young, the novelist lady should know about Dazai's past.

When Dazai joined the detective agency two years ago, the president gave Kunikida his entrance test.At that time, the president had secretly investigated Dazai, and the apparently washed-out files and Dazai’s discrepancy with his files made the detective agency vigilant for a while, and the president even solemnly handed over to Kunikida to let him be in Dazai’s office. "Self-handling" when taking the entrance test.

"Autonomous handling" means - if it can be concluded that Dazai is a villain or a spy, Kunikida has the right to kill him.

As Dazai passed the entrance test with a super high IQ and became a partner, the vigilance also dissipated with the wind, but everyone in the detective agency was somewhat curious about his previous occupation, and the bounty guessed so far has accumulated to 70.

It seems that we can start with this girl.Although Kunikida is not interested in 70, he can secretly tell Atsu-kun!

Kunikida, who has long held grudges against Dazai, has long wanted to win the round.

Pushing his glasses, he said, "Miss Izumi—"

"Banjing Taoshui." The girl pointed to the tip of her nose, giving off a neat and crisp feeling when talking about business. "izumi is a pseudonym. I always feel a bit ashamed to be called that by a friend's colleague." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Dazai in disbelief: "Kunikida-kun really worked hard for you, I didn't expect this guy to have normal behavior." Colleague relationship, should I be surprised or frightened?"

coming!

Kunikida-kun pricked up his ears.

It's a pity that Banjing Momozui didn't intend to cut into memory killing at all, but directly changed the subject without giving Kunikida a chance to ask: "Uh...you are here to investigate yesterday's car bombing, right? Unfortunately, I don't have any clues. Provided to you, sorry."

"Momo-chan received a threatening letter before, can you show us the letter?" Dazai then asked.

"I threw it away immediately after I received it yesterday. I used to receive a threatening letter every three days in the United States on average, so I'm used to it..." Sighing, Banjing Momosui muttered with regret: "I knew this Once it’s true, just leave a letter at that time.”

Hearing this, Dazai showed an inexplicable smile, and Kunikida glanced at her hanging left arm, and asked, "How did Ms. Banjing escape from the explosion?"

From the appearance, Momomi Hani doesn't look like a master of gymnastics, even Ichiyo Higuchi of the port mafia looks stronger than her.

"Well... I'm ashamed to say it." Banjing Taoshui scratched her hair, and said in a tone of gratitude or embarrassment, "Actually, I drank before driving, and I always felt uneasy. Seeing the front seemed to be A traffic policeman was checking for drunk driving, so he stopped the car in a hurry to avoid the limelight, but the car exploded after walking a few steps, I'm really lucky hahaha..."

Kunikida felt that her embarrassment was completely superfluous, this person had never reflected on traffic violations at all!

"Does Ms. Banjing have any suspects?"

Banjing Momozuki shook her head in bewilderment, she gave Kunikida an expression of "Are you kidding me?", and scratched her fingers like a few treasures: "I wrote about the New Economic Policy, about the human experiments of the Ministry of Health, Welfare, and about drug lords and smugglers." , I wrote about the government’s neglect of middle school and high school girls’ aid|dating, and I wrote about extremist religious organizations... Kunikida-kun, which one do you think I should be suspicious of?”

Kunikida was speechless.Being able to do things like this is no different from Dazai who tries to commit suicide every day.

"It seems that there are no clues." Dazai stood up and stretched his neck and shoulders. "We are going back first. If Momo-chan thinks of anything, you can call me. My number has not changed. Oh, yes!" Dazai squeezed I stopped my jaw and thought for a while, "We haven't seen each other for a few years, it's been so long that I can't remember clearly."

"...Five years." As soon as this was mentioned, Banjing Taoshui felt a little guilty.When she left five years ago, for some reason, Dazai ordered her not to set foot in Yokohama for seven years. In order not to be caught by him to settle accounts, Banjing Momozui immediately jumped up and complained: "You can even forget this!" , I’m very sad Dazai, you never replied to the emails I sent you, if it weren’t for you to nullify all abilities, I really want you to experience "All are sins" and try it, you bastard! "

"Sorry, I'm sorry~" Dazai didn't hold on to the point of "Why did you come back in less than seven years?" Instead, he clasped his hands together, and said with a very sincere attitude: "How about treating you to dinner some other day to make amends, um, called Shangguo Kida-kun asked him to pay the bill."

Kunikida immediately objected: "Why do you want to make amends but let me pay?!"

Banjing Momozuki knocked on the palm of his hand, looked at Kunikida with clear eyes, and said gratefully: "That's it, thank you, Kunikida-kun~"

"Hey, don't you listen to people?!"

Kunikida completely overturned his previous views on novelist Izumi.This person is worthy of growing up with Dazai since he was a child, just like Dazai, he is simply a disaster for him!

"How did you guys know each other?" Kunikida muttered with a straight face.

"How did we know each other..." As if remembering something, Banjing Taoshui's bright eyes bent into crescent moons, spread his hands and said, "On the street, a homeless man and an orphan in the smog met casually."

"To describe someone as a homeless person, Momo-chan is too much." Dazai puffed up his cheeks and complained.

"Well... then what do you say to replace it with?"

"At the very least, it should be replaced by a homeless boy."

"Eh?! Dazai, did you really have a boyhood? I don't think your youth can be called 'youth' at all, it should be described as 'black spring'."

"Does Momo-chan think I'm dark? Oh~ My heart has been hurt ten thousand points..." Dazai exaggeratedly covered his heart, and said with grief.

……

Listening to the two gagging but not revealing any key information, Kunikida suddenly felt that he would not get any valuable answers about Dazai's past here in Banjing Momozui.

This girl's line of defense is not low.

Back in the car parked outside the hotel, Kunikida noticed in the rearview mirror that Dazai's expression was extremely serious at the moment.Two years of partnering, he rarely saw Dazai showing such an expression.

"Dazai, what's wrong?"

"Kunikida-kun, do you think there is a way to bring the dead back to life in this world?"

"How could you ask such a stupid question, it's impossible."

"Yeah, it's impossible. So... either I was wrong, or she was wrong." Dazai murmured in a low voice, then suddenly raised his head and said to Kunikida, "Master driver, take me to the cemetery by the sea."

"Hey, there's still work to do next, do you think you're taking a taxi?"

"Hi, hi, Pippi Kunikida, let's go~"

……

In the hotel, Banjing Taoshui opened the photo album of her mobile phone, and swipe the photos she just took while standing on the power distribution box on the roof of the hotel with her fingers. After a long time, she took out a cardboard package from the bedside table.

This carton was delivered by courier yesterday, and the sender of the package was unknown. There was only a broken doll covered with scorched marks inside.

On the afternoon when I received this, Banjing Taoshui's car exploded in a highway tunnel, and she almost became a rag doll in a box.

She lied to Dazai and Kunikida, and she would never throw away the threatening letter unless it was proved that it was completely harmless.

Opening the box, Banjing Momosui took out the broken dolls and put them on the table one by one.Also placed on the table were parking tickets subconsciously rescued at the very moment of the explosion.

The reason why he attaches so much importance to a ticket is probably due to his vigilance against crises for a long time.

"Now, let me take a good look at what you are all about." She pinched the doll's fragments with tweezers, pursed her lips, and muttered softly, "I'm sorry Dazai, I have to settle this matter myself."

Her eyes were clear and firm.

"It's not easy for you to get out of there. I can't always trouble you."

***

"I'm causing you trouble, Kunikida-kun~" Dazai waved his hand towards the car window, and said with a smile, "You can go back to the detective agency without waiting for me, of course, if you really can't do without me—"

The answer was a stream of exhaust fumes, and Kunikida drove away with a straight face.

Dazai walked leisurely along the stone-paved mountain road, and all he saw along the road were shaded by green trees.With his hands in his pockets and earphones pinned to his ears, he hummed some out-of-key tunes:

"Lululu~ It's impossible for one person to die for love~ oh oh~ two people can do it~"

When he saw the wine bottle and two glasses in front of the nameless white tombstone, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, which was unpredictable but fleeting.

"It's Bar Lupine's distilled liquor."

"Hey Odasaku, you saw her too. She said she sent me an email, but she died five years ago..."

"Exactly the same face, exactly the same voice, exactly the same personality, exactly the same behavior style... If someone else pretends to deal with me, this plan is too rough. After all, I personally confirmed her death five years ago. Suicide by drinking a bullet, there is absolutely no possibility of suspended animation."

"What's more, even if they are twins, it is impossible to be so similar."

The long black-haired young man in a sand-colored long windbreaker lowered his head, his voice was still clear, but it was a little different from his usual calmness.

It seems that something has escaped his control, and the trajectory of his progress has become unpredictable. The transparent silk thread in his hand that seems to be able to control people's hearts suddenly tightened the moment he saw Banjing Taoshui, and now, it is completely broken.

"Odasaku, what do you think I should do?" Dazai stroked the earphones attached to his ears with his fingers, and asked softly with a dignified expression, "Except for waiting for the revelation from heaven?"
