"welcome."

The paper sliding door was pushed open, and the beautiful girl in plain kimono bowed slightly, and smiled after raising her head to see the appearance of the person coming. "So it's Mr. Zhongyuan. It's been a long time." After a gentle greeting, she turned her head unhurriedly, and whispered to the girl following behind: "Go and tell Sister Hongye that a distinguished guest is here."

The girl obediently responded, bowed to Nakahara Nakaya, and then slowly backed away from the porch.

It was a sunny and warm autumn day, and the blue sky above it was like washing. Occasionally, a few birds landed tremblingly on the branches of the trees, but because they had already eaten into a chubby figure in preparation for the winter, so that The slender branches under the little claws seemed overwhelmed, and shook violently a few times very dangerously.

This is a simple and elegant tea room. There are many people who come here because of its reputation. The appearance is unremarkable-many young people usually come here not to be escorted by their elders to cultivate themselves, but just to put on a show-but they really know that this tea room is not to be underestimated. There are very few people who look at it.Nakahara Nakaya was wearing a black leather trousers suit that was incompatible with this place. He reached out to take off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and hung them in his jacket pocket, and asked calmly, "Higuchi, is the eldest sister in her room?"

"Yes, the flowers that were planted in the yard before are blooming just right now. Eldest sister picked up a few and said that she has nothing to do, so she is arranging flowers in the house to pass the time." Higuchi Kazuyo replied softly.She saw Zhong Yuan walking in with one hand in his pocket, and after thinking for a while, she frowned slightly: "Please wait, Mr. Zhong Yuan, if you come alone, it's best now..."

"Oh~ I've never been here before, this tea room looks really nice~"

A strange young man's voice came from the door, and Higuchi was stunned for a while, and saw a very handsome man walking in behind Nakahara Nakaya, standing at the entrance and looking around curiously. "The decoration is also great, and what's more," she saw the man retract his gaze from looking around, and then smiled at her, "There is such a beautiful young lady here.

This man didn't notice it when he opened his eyes and looked around curiously just now, but now when he curled up his mouth and smiled, that flirtatious energy rushed out, Higuchi Ichiyo blinked, thinking Without even thinking about it, I intuitively labeled this person a "scumbag" on his forehead.

Before she realized the intention of this man, Zhong Yuanzhong said indifferently: "Oh, he came with me, don't worry about him. Pour me a glass of beer later, and give him a glass of anything to drink Just do it."

Eh?Follow Mr. Nakahara?Higuchi Ichiyo opened his eyes slightly, because there were few such precedents, so the expression on his face showed a little bit of surprise.

Osamu Dazai noticed it, so he curled the corner of his mouth again, and winked at Ichiyo Higuchi ambiguously from a place where Nakahara couldn't see it.

Just when the atmosphere fell into a stalemate, with the sound of wooden shoes stepping on the floor slowly, another mature and lazy female voice sounded with a little smile.

"There is no alcohol for you here... If you want to drink, go to the bars outside, drink as much as you want." The woman in a colorful and complicated kimono walked to the entrance, and first showed a belt to Zhong Yuanzhong. With a conniving smile, his eyes fell on the man behind him, "This is... a guest you brought?"

Because of her childhood circumstances, for Nakahara Chuya, Koyo Ozaki focused more on "relatives" than other cold and distant identities.Therefore, in front of this beautiful woman in the cold and cool Zhongyuan, she can neither be cold nor fierce, so it is rare to shrug heartlessly like an ordinary high school student returning home from school, very Said lightly: "It's not a guest, eldest sister, you can just put him in any room for later, and take him away when I finish my work."

Koyo Ozaki frowned lightly, her inquisitive eyes fell on the face of Osamu Dazai at the door for a moment, and she got an honest self-introduction (without any flirtatious meaning at all, and it was not at all the same as when she was treating the little girl just now) After greeting and greetings, he only turned back to look at the child in front of him who has been a worry-free child since he was a child.

Finally she sighed softly and turned around: "Come with me."

So a group of four walked slowly along the corridor. Dazai Osamu couldn't hold it back after enduring it again and again, so he fell behind half a step calmly, and then asked softly in Zhongyuan Zhongye's ear: "What kind of anger is that?" Is the beautiful proprietress who is super strong in the field your sister?"

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't look sideways, and pressed his voice between his lips and teeth: "No. But in front of her, you'd better put away your sweet words, otherwise... Miss Hongye is not as easy-talking as I am."

Oh... With this kind of attitude, it seems that even if they are not relatives, then their status is about the same as that of relatives.Osamu Dazai straightened up, and obediently continued to walk forward, with a serious expression that did not look like he had deserted just now.

And besides the beautiful elder sister, along the way, he could feel a lot of eyes coming from the gap between the unclosed sliding doors of the rooms on both sides and falling on him and the little man next to him, probably curious about who was coming. Not only can I amaze the lady boss here, but I also have the honor of being a guest of the lady boss.

How interesting, this tea room.he thought casually.

They turned a corner, walked through the courtyard, and walked towards the other courtyard that only VIP guests were entitled to enter.

Seeing that there was no one in sight, the guests in the main courtyard turned their gaze away one after another.

There was a gaze unobtrusively hidden among the scrutinizing gazes. It first quietly fell on Nakahara Nakaya's beautiful profile face for a few seconds, and then took a closer look at Osamu Dazai who was walking beside him, so originally There was a hint of doubt in the determined eyes, and after a long pause, the eyes slowly withdrew together with the others.

The other courtyard of the tea room is not bigger than the main courtyard, but the decoration of each room is more exquisite. It can be seen that each room has been put into a lot of thought, and it is not the same as the copy of the main courtyard.When passing by a room, Koyo Ozaki signaled Tongkou to stay with Dazai Osamu, and then took Nakahara Chuya back to his own room next door.

On the tatami in the center of the room, there were just a few bonsai plants and half-trimmed flower branches. Nakahara Nakaya found a cushion and sat down. Seeing that Hongye was sitting opposite him, he signaled with his eyes that he could start talking. After that, he frowned and said, "Maybe you have already received the news, big sister, that a group of guys who came out of nowhere are looking for me everywhere, but I—"

Koye Ozaki listened to him calmly, then interrupted him at his usual unhurried pace, smiled and said slowly: "Wrong, you should explain it to me first, Not about this."

Zhong Yuanzhong also blinked: "Then you are talking about my injury? Oh, it's not a big deal, a knife pierced the back in two places, it's not very serious—"

"Of course I'm also very concerned about your injury, but since you can run and jump to me, it proves that you haven't been injured," Koye Ozaki cut off his voice again, lazily tilting his head and stretching out his hand Supporting the side of his face, the meaning in his eyes was more or less meaningful, "That is your new wild man? He is not bad looking, but although you have brought men who like elegance to drink tea here before... But you can bring This is the first one to come to me."

Zhong Yuanzhong also couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I don't like that kind of guy—Sister Hongye, don't you see me with a man and suspect that I'm in trouble, okay?"

"He was always trying to pick me up before, but I ignored him... As a result, I bumped into him yesterday when I was trying to get rid of the swarm of flies. He happened to be a doctor, and I couldn't handle the injury on my back. Just make him a strong man temporarily." After speaking, he smiled indifferently, "Anyway, I will definitely kill him later."

"...Doctor." Koyo Ozaki nodded, "Then, since he is going to be killed anyway, why not clean it up last night. Procrastinating is not something you usually do."

Zhong Yuanzhong also shrugged slightly.

Last night, he did have the idea of ​​killing this man who not only knew his identity but also saw his appearance after washing his hair, but he didn't intend to do it immediately, so that the doctor would die unconsciously in his sleep, or It was paid for the treatment of his wound.

It's just that a text message he received after he came out made him change his mind.

The text message came from a trusted channel, and it said that he didn't know where he had messed with some big shots. Now someone is offering a high price on his head on the black market, and they want to mobilize all the famous people in the killer industry to get his little one. In the attachment of the reward, there is a photo that is so blurry that the neck and arms can't be distinguished, and a few words such as "orange hair, blue eyes, celibacy".

To be honest, this kind of vague condition that one billboard can hit three or four when it is dropped, and Nakahara Chuya would jump his feet and roll his eyes when he picked it up by himself. A bit of power, the promised reward was so high that those killers who also had a few masters in it were dispatched, and indeed threatened his safety - at least the previous residence felt like it was being secretly monitored, this It was also the reason why he didn't go back to his residence after getting rid of those people, but just found a residential area and turned in.

But then again, in this era where color contact lenses and wig dyes are flooding, let alone orange hair and blue eyes, even white hair and white eyes can find five or six on the street, so if there are only these two points, then don’t worry. .

The only thing left is... celibacy.

In his mind, he quickly weighed the two options of "kill this man" and "continue to hold him hostage as his shield", and he made a new decision without much effort.

So, when Osamu Dazai brought in the ramen takeaway from the door, he told the other party in a calm voice that he would ask the hospital for leave tomorrow and accompany him to a place.

why?

No why, unless you want to die.

where to go?

Don't talk too much unless you want to die.

Therefore, in Zhongyuan Zhong's simple, rude and unreasonable answer (he really didn't need to be unreasonable), Osamu Dazai touched his nose and asked the department director for leave, and then followed him here the next day, that is, today .

Koyo Ozaki listened to his narration with a calm expression, but didn't say anything else, but said softly when he took out a small box from the side: "Although I have been preaching to you, I still feel at ease when you do things. Don't be careless and proceed with caution during this time."

She pushed the black leather box in front of him: "It's the same as the ones you used to, you check it."

Zhong Yuanzhong also pushed open the lid of the box. On the red velvet pad, there were a white envelope, a silencer, a handful of Sand Eagles, and a handful of Glock on the first layer. Model bullet.He closed the box and put it beside him, turned to kneel down and respectfully bowed to Hongye: "Thank you, sister Hongye. I've troubled you every time."

"Stop putting on a show," Ozaki Koyo snorted, "This is the only time you'll pretend to be cute."

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, you will definitely not ignore me."

"Little bastard," Hong Ye scolded with a smile, "Get out of here."

She is not the "superior" who gave the mission to Zhongyuan Zhongye, but she has a relatively wide network of contacts, and her intelligence network is more reliable than anyone else, so when needed, she will provide some information to this child who was raised by herself. Just provide some equipment like that.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stood up with the box in his hand. "Then I..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, "Why is it a bit noisy outside?"

Koyo Ozaki also noticed that she likes to be quiet, and all the servants in the teahouse know this, so the only sounds in this other courtyard are flowers falling, wind moving and birdsong.

She frowned and looked towards the door.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a slight "disrespect" sounded outside the door. Higuchi Ichiyo opened the paper door and bowed to report to Hongye: "Something happened, Miss Hongye. There is a room in the main courtyard where the guest just died. .”

"Dead?" Hongye slightly narrowed her eyes.

"Yes. According to Qing Shui who was nearby at the time, the man should have died of poisoning."

Countless thoughts quickly appeared and flashed from Ozaki Koye's mind, and Nakahara Chuya frowned and said, "Sister, do you want me to help?"

"No," Koye Ozaki said calmly, "Someone is dead, the police will come here soon, you leave through the back door first."

"No, slow down, the police are here." The voice of the young man who had just heard it once sounded, Osamu Dazai appeared behind Ichiyo Higuchi, and pointed his thumb backward, "I just watched from the yard. At a glance, the back door seems to be surrounded by police cars."

What?Ozaki Momiji and Nakahara also looked at each other.

Osamu Dazai smiled, raised his eyebrows at Chuya Nakahara, and said, "Since you came so quickly... Chuya, is there someone who wants to punish you?"

Time is not to be wasted, Zhongyuan Zhong didn't bother to argue with him about what to call him at this time, he frowned and quickly sorted out one thing: the box containing the gun can be hidden by Miss Hongye, but when it meets Tiaozi... ...It's not that anyone will recognize him, but if it is confirmed that someone poisoned and murdered, and the police came so quickly and no one left, then the murderer must still be here.So the police must collect everyone's fingerprints and compare them with those on the scene.

This will be troublesome...

Osamu Dazai looked at Chuya Nakahara's frowning expression with interest, put his hands in his pockets when he had seen enough, and said slowly: "Don't worry so much... If you don't want the police to collect your fingerprints, then you just need to do it at that step." Before that, we should find the criminal first."

"Who's looking for it?" Koye Ozaki looked at him unchanged, "You, brat?"

Osamu Dazai rubbed his nose, and felt that it would be better for him to restrain himself in front of this person, so he didn't make any fuss, and said honestly: "Well... At least, I also worked as a forensic doctor for a while before becoming a cardiologist. Woolen cloth."

"You? Forensic doctor?" Zhong Yuanzhong also looked him up and down with a new look. For some reason, he combined this person with the word "forensic doctor", and only the word "terrible pervert" came to mind.

"Does not look like?"

"That's not true..." Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at him suspiciously, "But why did you help me? There is no reason." Not only is there no reason, it is normal to find a way to get out of him with the help of the police at this time Human way?

Dazai laughed.

"If you have to talk about the reason," he turned his beautiful eyebrows at Zhong Yuanzhong, and peach blossoms bloomed at the corners of his long and narrow eyes in late autumn, which is about to enter winter.

"I like you—how, is that enough reason?"
