two days later

Just after class, Xie Shuyi came downstairs to the Armed Detective Agency when he happened to run into Mr. Dazai and Mr. Kunikida who were out.

"Ah~ What a coincidence~ Xiao Yi-chan~"

Xie Shuyi nodded obediently, "Mr. Dazai, Mr. Kunikida."

After a polite greeting, he tentatively asked, "Are you going on a mission? Can I come along?"

As if he was afraid of being rejected, he raised the schoolbag in his hand and said, "I have finished my classes today. It doesn't count as skipping class."

Dazai Osamu burst into laughter, then grabbed Jie Shuyi with his hand, held him in his arms, with a big smile on his face.

"Xiao Yi-chan is so cute! Let's go together! Such a cute Xiao Yi-chan is really hard to refuse~"

Driven by Dazai, the car gradually drove away from the city and finally arrived at the abandoned building where Miss Sasaki Nobuko was found.

The sun was shining brightly at that moment, and Xie Shuyi was sitting on the moss-covered windowsill with his body facing outward. Although the fall from the height of two floors would not be fatal, it would still be painful.

He seemed to have no sense of crisis at all. His legs were swinging leisurely, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be enjoying the leisurely afternoon.

Dazai sat on a chair he found from somewhere, holding a USB flash drive in his hand.

Mr. Kunikida stood beside him. "What on earth is the matter that brought me to a place like this?"

Xie Shuyi leaned his body towards the inside, moved his buttocks, and turned most of his body towards Mr. Dazai. His lazy eyes gradually became focused, and his fingertips tapped on the window from time to time.

"What do you think this is?" Dazai Osamu took out the USB drive and placed it in front of Kunikida.

Without waiting for an answer, he continued, "In the computer in the criminal's hideout, I found the investigation information about Yokohama. What surprised me was that the entire plan to dominate Yokohama, annihilating the detective agency, was written first."

Xie Shuyi couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it the mafia that dominates the underworld?"

Dazai Osamu replied calmly, "They were manipulated."

"Being false information..."

What he said makes a lot of sense. Almost all the people who have been against the detective agency in the past two days are members of the port mafia, but it is obvious that the real murderer has been hiding behind the scenes.

The port mafia is just a tool used as a tool.

"Is there any other conspiracy?" Kunikida frowned.

Xie Shuyi jumped off the windowsill, clapped his hands, and ran to Mr. Dazai's side, "So we are here to catch the real murderer today?"

The latter smiled and said, "Bingo! I sent an email to the person I think is the real murderer, saying that I have evidence that he is the real murderer. It should be here soon."

Xie Shuyi held his head with both hands, leaning back on the chair as if he had no bones, "Could it be her..."

Accompanied by a series of dragging footsteps, the three of them looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of little white shoes, followed by a set of student-like clothes. The youthful face looked a little younger under the sunlight.

The moment Xie Shuyi saw the person coming, he stood up straight unconsciously, his eyes slightly widened.

Kunikida also showed an expression of disbelief, "Could it be you?"

"Is it really you? Rokuzo!"

Xie Shuyi couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, it's hidden so deeply."

Taguchi Rokuzo blinked innocently, put his hands in his pockets, and said in an unbelievably arrogant tone, "What are you talking about? It hasn't started yet?"

Dazai guessed it immediately, "I see. You hacked into my email and snooped."

It was obvious that he suddenly realized something, but there was no shock in his tone when he spoke, as if everything was within his expectations.

Xie Shuyi couldn't help but frowned, and when he looked at Taguchi Rokuzo again, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Why do I have a bad feeling?

Kunikida couldn't accept the fact that Rokuzo Taguchi suddenly appeared here. Even though the possibility that he was the murderer was only very small, Kunikida was eager to confirm the truth.

"It really isn't you!" He stood in front of Taguchi Rokuzo.

Taguchi Rokuzo: "I just want to see the face of the real criminal."

Kunikida's loud voice drowned out everything else, "Really! It's really like this! It's not you..."

Xie Shuyi turned around and looked towards the dark staircase. There was no sunlight there, and it was pitch black without any light illuminating it. But he felt as if there was something inside.

Along with Mr. Kunikida's questioning, Xie Shuyi heard a strange sound.

He knew all too well what it was.

The sound of a gun's safety being unlocked.

He quickly turned his head and looked at Kunikida and Taguchi Rokuzo. Most of Kunikida's body was blocking Rokuzo. That person... was aiming at Mr. Kunikida!

Not only Xie Shuyi discovered the person hiding in the darkness, but Taguchi Rokuzo also saw the figure. Almost subconsciously, he pushed Kunikida away.

"Danger! Glasses!!"

With two gunshots, bullets hit the body and blood splattered.

Xie Shuyi's raised hands were shaking constantly, and blood was still oozing out of the two holes in his palms. He gave a somewhat forced smile and lowered his head. His white sweatshirt was already stained red with blood.

There was suddenly a fishy taste in his throat, and before he could swallow it, he vomited blood uncontrollably.

"puff--"

While trying to swallow it, his physiological reaction caused him to vomit blood. The final situation was that Xie Shuyi could not stop vomiting blood.

Taguchi Rokuzo was pushed to the ground by him. Apart from some skin abrasion on his arm, the boy was not seriously injured.

Kunikida had already been pushed away by Taguchi Rokuzo at the beginning, so nothing would happen to him.

At this moment, only Jie Shuyi was kneeling on the ground in embarrassment.
