As Jie Shuyi's voice gradually faded, Tanizaki nodded. He leaned forward and wanted to ask something else, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't think of any topic to talk about.

I could only sit back in my seat and return to silence.

In the small space, the depressing atmosphere became increasingly strong.

This atmosphere began from the moment Kunikida-san brought explosives and died together with the enemy, and it would never disappear.

Everyone is wailing in grief deep in their hearts.

Xie Shuyi lowered his head, pulled the quilt up, bent his knees slightly, curled up his body in it, and hugged himself tightly with both hands.

The scene of the explosion replayed before his eyes again and again, and Jie Shuyi's fingertips couldn't stop trembling.

Mr. Kunikida...

Because I...

Dead...?

Xie Shuyi's eyes turned dull, as if his mental strength was drained away.

Thinking of the last words Mr. Kunikida said when they parted, Xie Shuyi couldn't help but raise his hand and slap himself.

He actually asked Mr. Kunikida, "Will he be happy if I die?"

It must be because of this sentence.

It must be because of these words that Kunikida-san jumped without hesitation.

Xie Shuyi buried his head even lower, tears falling uncontrollably from his eyes. His tears and snot wet the grey quilt, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

I really am... a disaster star.

This went on for two whole days. In this dark little house, the only way for the detective agency members to tell time was by the number of meals delivered.

In the past few days, everyone in the detective agency has become increasingly silent. Even Kenji, the most optimistic and positive person, has become unusually quiet.

Everyone seemed to be blinded by a layer of gray fog, blocking their ears. It was not until the door of the safe house was pushed open again that their cloudy pupils became clearer.

"How does it feel to live in the hidden base of the Port Mafia?" Mori Ogai walked in with a faint smile on his face.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tanizaki and Kenji looked more alert. Facing this once sworn enemy of the Armed Detective Agency, they still couldn't completely trust him.

Yosano's expression froze for a moment, and when he raised his head, there was still fear in his eyes that was not hidden.

Xie Shuyi was still lying on the bed. The blood he had shed two days ago had dried up, but because he had not left for a long time, some places were still wet.

After a long time, the fishy smell mixed with the musty smell is really unpleasant.

Mori Ogai took another step forward and stepped completely into the narrow room. "If we want to avoid the hounds, we should be able to avoid them for about a week."

Yosano stood up, "Dr. Mori...Any news on Kunikida who fell after the self-destruction?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Shuyi sat up abruptly and stared at Sen Ouwai.

The other people in the detective agency also stared at Mori Ogai, their scorching gazes enough to stare a hole through the latter's face.

Mori Ogai's lips curled up, "Unfortunately, we only know where Dazai went."

Xie Shuyi couldn't help but frown. He knew Dazai's whereabouts best. He witnessed with his own eyes that Mr. Dazai was captured by the Hound's men.

Originally, after the incident happened, he planned to discuss with everyone in the detective agency how to resolve the issue.

But the hostage incident happened too suddenly, one thing after another, leaving no chance for Jie Shuyi to confess to everyone.

Obviously, after the plane crash and explosion involving Mr. Kunikida, Dazai's disappearance could not be known to anyone in the detective agency.

Jie Shuyi looked at Mori Ougai's smiling face. It was obvious that this guy wanted to completely destroy everyone's hope when everyone in the detective agency was at their weakest.

Tsk.

It's really bad. It hasn't changed at all.

Mori Ogai's mouth curved even wider when he noticed Xie Shuyi's gaze. "Dazai had already fallen into the hands of the Hounds before the hostage incident. He was first handed over to the Ministry of Justice by the military police, and then transferred to the Public Security Bureau. After that, there was no news."

"Don't worry, everyone. I asked Rokuzang to check for me. Mr. Dazai and Fyodor are imprisoned together in the European supernatural prison [Meursault]." Jie Shuyi walked out of the bed barefoot and came to Yosano's side.

"Although it sounds scary, this prison itself is a state secret, and its exact location is only known to the upper echelons of the European government. Meetings are naturally impossible. It can be said to be the safest hiding place in the world."

He took Yosano's hand.

"Mr. Dazai will be fine..." Because...

I recalled the look in Dazai-san's eyes.

Xie Shuyi's eyes raised slightly.

Because it was clear that Mr. Dazai was caught on purpose.
