Oba Hazo's Time Traveling

Ye Zang slept until nine in the morning.

He slept fairly soundly. Last night, insomnia and neurasthenia did not bother him. The news from [Central Plains Chuya] came almost when he opened his eyes at nine o'clock.

On the phone interface, Xiaobiao trembled cutely.

I'll wait for you downstairs.

Aye immediately replied in fine print:

Wait for me for 10 minutes.

He washed quickly, put on his clothes, and closed the door of the bathroom while washing. Thanks to the sound insulation of the Keio Hotel, everything was going on in silence. The duvet covered his head.

A Ye didn't turn on the lights, didn't draw the curtains, didn't make a sound, and didn't disturb anyone.

I don't know what method he used, even if he closed the door, it was silent.

But the moment the gate closed, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly opened his eyes, and Dazai poked his head out from under the blanket.

The two stared at each other for a while, and Edogawa Ranpo was the first to make a face at Dazai.

"Slightly slightly slightly"

Dazai also returned the past with the same childish grimace.

Like a child.

……

"Awaited."

A Ye jogged all the way downstairs, it was too cold in winter, every time he took a breath, a layer of silver-white mist lingered around his mouth, it took a lot of time just to wash up, so that he didn't care to take care of himself The fluffy and soft hair is intertwined with each other, jumping and jumping with his steps, it is really cute.

Look at the clothes again, unlike Osamu Dazai, Aye looks more sickly, even Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai would not let him wear a thin black trench coat in the cold winter.

So he wrapped himself in a bloated down jacket, and wrapped a furry scarf around his neck. The scarf was chosen by [Central Plains Zhongya]. It was made of fur, white and warm.

The doorman and waiter of the Keio Hotel watched him go out. To be honest, they always subconsciously compared Aye with a young wife and a woman in love. He was really too slender and delicate enough. collar……

Should it be described as sweet?

No, it's a bit too exaggerated to say that about a man.

Until I watched Aye run to the parking spot, there was an incredible luxury car parked there 10 minutes ago, when Aye approached, the reflective glass window lowered, revealing the same handsome but heroic face of [Zhongyuan Zhongya] .

"Get in the car." [Central Plains Chuya] said.

A Ye obediently went around to the passenger driver and buckled up his seat belt.

The window went up again.

"..."

The doorman and the waiter looked at each other, but they couldn't forget this scene.

How should I put it, there are many vehicles coming and going in front of the Keio Hotel, there are many luxury cars, and there are also many handsome men and women, such as the president of a club, young and beautiful women, female bosses and male waiters, etc. After working in this business for a long time Any kind of relationship can be revealed at a glance.

But [Central Plains Zhongye] and Aye, one is that [Zhongye]’s car is too good, and it stands out among the eye-catching and dazzling luxury cars, plus the appearance of the two...

Due to the extreme cold and wind in winter, the two on duty chatted one after another.

"Hey."

"Ok?"

"What do you think they are related to?"

"……how could I know."

"Tsk."

"You ask me, do you know?"

"I can't tell."

The doorman scratched his head and said, "They must value each other very much."

In Japan, "love" is too heavy, and "like" is too frivolous. Natsume Soseki here is not a university teacher, so there is no such thing as "the moonlight is so beautiful tonight".

Valuing and loving is a very high level of praise.

"Yeah," said another, "I think so, too."

……

"Eat." [Chuya] handed Aye a rice ball with his free hand.

The rice balls are stuffed with shredded crab meat fillings, which are made by the housekeeper according to Aye's taste. [Zhongye] will ask her to make a few every day, and wrap them in plastic wrap. If Aye comes back, there will be supper.

Now crab meat rice balls have become Ah Ye's breakfast.

"Thank you." Aye muttered, and began to eat in small bites.

[Zhong Ye] said: "There is miso soup in the thermos, you pour it out and drink it yourself."

After quietly finishing his breakfast, Ah Ye began to explain the mission, which was nothing more than to keep an eye on the counterfeit Tsubouchi Shixing and catch him at the right time.

"He's going to the Tokyo Bay Sea Casino." Aye said, "We have to go up with him."

Gambling is illegal in Japanese law. Pachinko and pachinko are just "legal entertainment". Real casinos are located outside the Japanese border. People with business minds plan sea flights, and cruise ships are moored at the mouth of Tokyo Bay. , Passengers boarded the ship one by one, and the passenger ship drifted in the borderless sea for three days before returning.

This is a gambling trip at sea.

Ping Nei Shixing is addicted to gambling, so he is naturally a frequent visitor to sea cruise ships.

"We're going aboard the Princess Windsor."

Ah Ye said.

[Nakahara Chuya] nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

"How to catch him," he asked, "do it quietly or..."

Use superpowers to catch him with great fanfare.

Aye thought for a while and said, "Don't be quiet, he shouldn't be the type to let us do things quietly, anyway, with you [Mr. Zhongyuan], we can get away even if the ship sinks. Responsible for contacting the rescue ship."

He even had a route map in his mind, and how many ships would pass through this sea area within this time period and be able to go to rescue.

After a few breaths, Ah Ye arranged everything.

"Don't worry." He said to [Central Plains Chuya], "The backup plan is ready."

"Okay." He agreed with great reassurance.

'Just trusting Ah Ye is enough. '

’ He’s done that in countless collaborations. '

……

"Gollum—"

The sound of bowel movements rang through the room.

Dazai Osamu was hungry, and Edogawa Ranpo was also hungry.

"What should I do?" Dazai dragged his voice lazily, "Do you want to have a buffet breakfast?"

Edogawa Ranpo said: "Idiot, breakfast is over at nine o'clock."

"Go out and eat."

"It's so troublesome."

"There's a curry shop at the station."

“Curry is too oily for breakfast.”

"Let's go to the convenience store and buy rice balls."

The two reached a consensus on this, but instead of getting up from the bed, they chatted one after another.

It was still Dazai who spoke first: "So, since nothing was found in the counterfeit's room, how should we investigate?"

"The quickest way is to guard that old woman, maybe real and fake people will find her." Dazai said viciously, "Isn't she the key to the safe?"

Of course he hated Mikiko, just hearing that Aye had a meal with her made Osamu Dazai sick, what kind of sticky, salivating eyes would she look at Aye?

'It's disgusting. '

Edogawa Ranbu said: "It's also possible that he won't go to Mikiko."

Dazai sighed, "Yes."

"Is it possible to wait for Aye to give us information?" Dazai said dejectedly, "It is possible to fulfill Dostoyevsky's entrustment. He should be a warrior with an extremely strong spirit. With the help of Aye's half-baked torture technique, I don’t know if you can provide us with information.”

"It's really looking for a needle in a haystack when you say you're looking for a Tsubouchi scholar."

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly said: "November 11rd."

Dazai: "Ah, it was the day when the news that Tsubouchi Xiaoyao wanted to transfer the supernatural power was released."

Luanbu said: "The news was released by Shixing, that's right."

"uh-huh."

Ranpo: "His purpose must be to lure people out, to lure Mikiko?" After all, this news is to transfer supernatural powers to people who have no blood relationship, and only Mikiko fits the bill.

Dazai said: "For sure, we think this is an impossible trap to step into, but the person concerned doesn't think so, and she may be ecstatic."

"I heard that Pingnei Xiaoyao's wealth was accumulated by relying on supernatural abilities. Even so, none of us know what his abilities are."

Edogawa Ranbu said: "In other words, he wanted to seduce Mikiko, but it's a pity that the people hired by Mikiko are so poor that they can't even decipher the deep information on the Internet."

Dazai sneered: "It's a blessing in disguise."

Ranpo was analyzing whether the news was released by the real Shixing or the fake Shixing, but Dazai said: "Then just find out where he went before the 3rd, or call the old woman Mikiko directly to ask where he might have gone. "

Dazai explained without waiting for Luanpo to look at him: "This is just a guess. With their character, the Shigui will choose to face Mikiko directly, whether it is showing off or mocking, he is such a person."

Luanbu muttered: "Well, the human heart is really hard to understand."

They directly knocked on Tianshan Huadai and asked him to check the whereabouts of Ping Neishixing. He didn't know that Huadai didn't work overtime, so he just calmly sent a folder and told them that Aye had ordered him to investigate in advance.

Dazai & Ranpo: "..."

Damn, it was taken care of!

……

Tokyo Bay

11 am

Aye stood on the deck, looking at the fading Tokyo port. At this time, there were not many people on the deck. The ladies were wearing out-of-season evening dresses to exchange greetings in the banquet hall, and at most they wore a thin layer of cashmere shawls.

The men stalked in suits, and only a few breathed on deck.

He should have joined the group where those people were talking, all in search of Xiaoyao in Pingnei.

But [Nakahara Chuya] said: "I'll go say hello, you can hang around outside." He said, "Remember to zip up the down jacket."

Aye: "Yes."

"I take the piping hot adzuki bean rice cake soup," he said.

[Zhong Ye] nodded: "That's good."

Aye said, "Come back soon."

He whispered: "We can watch seagulls and waves together, and drink red bean rice cakes."

[Zhong Ye]: "..."

Oops, I got hit again.
