【Taizhong】To you whom I don't know

Chapter 03

Zhong Yuanzhong was also completely unaware of the turbulent undercurrent crowded in the store at the moment.In his view, the matter of Youxing coming to him suddenly has been resolved—in fact, it has been resolved—so the former king of sheep and the current little mafia, who have a clear distinction between public and private affairs, are ready to Keep up the good work.

He finally pulled his arm out of Osamu Dazai's arms, took out his mobile phone, and showed Osamu Dazai the new clue he just found in this store. "The owner of this store was the only person who was on the scene that night. He was keeping accounts behind the counter when the incident happened, but the gangsters suddenly broke in." He lowered his head and called up the phone album, and clicked on the latest photo inside. , "Here."

The photo was as blurry as an impressionist painting, Osamu Dazai's attention was attracted to this side, temporarily forgetting the naive and terrifying "demonstration" that was released on the spur of the moment.The smile on his face quickly faded like a magic trick, he took Nakahara Chuya's cell phone, narrowed his eyes, zoomed in and looked at the photo carefully: "This is?"

"When the incident happened, the shopkeeper jumped up because he was too frightened. The mobile phone fell from his hand onto the counter, touched the camera function, and took a series of continuous shots." Nakahara Zhong also said, stretching his fingers across The screen immediately changed to several pictures with coherent movements. It was a shot of a group of young bosozokus in standard costumes breaking into the store.

Osamu Dazai let out a "huh", paused, and then continued calmly: "It is indeed a useful clue... But I didn't receive any relevant reports from the first batch of subordinates who came here to investigate. Why?"

"I asked the same question." Nakahara shrugged and said in a low voice, "The surveillance video was handed over to the advance team along with those from other stores. These photos are said to be because of the shock these days, various There were too many things, so it was not discovered that this kind of photo was accidentally taken that night, and the mafia members who came to investigate had already left for a long time when they were discovered."

"Has the authenticity of the photo been confirmed?"

"For the time being, I sent a piece to the technical team at the elder sister's side. I only took a look at it for a short time, but the reply said that the preliminary judgment is true."

Dazai was silent.

There is no problem with the logic of this statement. It is better to say that because the statement is simple and smooth, there are no loopholes. Even if there is a sense of coincidence in the timing, it cannot be ruled out that it is indeed an accident.

So in the end he just nodded: "I see. Send it to the technical team and deal with the clarity of the picture. It's a mess at the moment, at least we need to know who the enemies are first."

Central Plains also hummed. "Never mind you." He raised his chin as a gesture, "I've already sent it to the technical side."

"Hey~ The little black dwarves occasionally have brains."

"Kill you!!"

Youxing stood on the side silently in front of the background board, her body was a little stiff.The two of them completely forgot about her existence after they started discussing work. Chuya and that annoying black-haired boy were talking about things she couldn't understand, with a disgusted expression, but a relaxed body.

And Zhongye is always calm and reliable in front of them, laughing and drinking with them, but more often he is like a reassurance among them.

She had never seen Zhong communicate with anyone on a serious topic in a relaxed tone.

Here Osamu Dazai flashed Nakahara Chuya's fist, just as he was smiling and about to "accidentally" drop Chuya's cell phone to the ground, he caught a glimpse of Yuxing with a complex expression from the corner of his eye, and suddenly his eyes lit up, remembering Noting that I was just "demonstrating" against this girl who was obviously scared but insisted on not wanting to show her timidity, there is still a funny existence here.

So without a second's pause, he coughed loudly, and felt the soft touch with his fingers in his pocket. It was a small gift he bought just now, so he quickly took out the wrapped small bag and poked it straight into Zhongyuan. Under Chuya's nose.

"What??" Zhong Yuanzhong was also taken aback.He was about to raise his hand to beat Osamu Dazai, but something poked at the words in front of him. In the first second, he subconsciously thought it was Osamu Dazai's prank prop. Before he could react, his legs and feet moved first, and he backed away. took several steps.

"It's a gift." Osamu Dazai pretended not to see his vigilant expression like a small animal, flipped his fingers and took out the collar inside, and showed it to Zhongyuan Zhong, "Qiang Qiang~ a black choker, and Zhong Yuanzhong Doesn’t Ye’s dressing style match well? I just saw it in the store and thought it fit Zhongye very well, so I bought it.”

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked blank, with a blank expression: "... huh?"

He felt that today's Osamu Dazai... No, it was Osamu Dazai from just now, and his brain was probably damaged somewhere he didn't see.After all, after this month of getting along, even though Osamu Dazai still has a lot of things he doesn't understand, he has learned too many lessons from blood and tears. Already burning high incense.

Gift?Yes, it is produced by Osamu Dazai, and I invite you to take a one-day tour of the Happy Sword Crypt.

"Why did you give me a gift all of a sudden?" Zhong Yuan snatched his mobile phone, and cautiously did not touch the collar, suspecting that it was either poisoned, or there was something that would pop out a blade when the button was pressed. Devil organ.

Osamu Dazai tilted his head: "Why, don't you like it?" He looked down at the black jewelry in his hand, and touched his chin with the other hand: "I thought it must be a style you would like. "

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't say a word.Like it?Of course I like it. Everything that Osamu Dazai gave him is his favorite, but beautiful things may be poisonous, and things he likes may be poisonous. As long as the things that come from Osamu Dazai may have strange traps, even He felt that Osamu Dazai himself was poisonous, so he had honed a heart that was hardened and never surprised by favor or humiliation.

So what if he likes it, when he got to the bottom of it, he also felt that Osamu Dazai's face met the standard.

Osamu Dazai knew what Chuka was thinking at a glance, and it took less than a second to figure out what was going on in his mind.He deliberately sighed, and then said: "Okay, okay, it's actually..." Osamu Dazai waved to Nakahara Nakaya, motioning him to come closer; Nakahara Nakaya was dubious, but obediently moved his ear to him.

After a few words, Nakahara frowned slightly, not knowing what Osamu Dazai said to him.In short, after half a minute, the two separated again, and he was already muttering "You are really troublesome" while reaching out to Osamu Dazai: "There is no way to take you...well, take it."

Osamu Dazai finally happily delivered the gift, and from the corner of his eye he saw the shocked expression on Yuxing's face, and his heart was already rolling with laughter.He felt that it was the right decision to herd the "sheep" these children at the beginning. Look, didn't this bring a lot of happiness to the door?

The episode made time move forward quickly, Osamu Dazai finally had enough of playing, and his interest in teasing the lamb began to fade.He stretched his waist, and said to Zhong Yuan, who was looking at the mirror and fiddled with the collar he had just put on on his neck: "Then, as before, I will ask Zhong Ye to follow the opponent's retreat route. See if there are any clues left in other secluded places."

"An alley? Well, but the land of this whole street should be turned over by those members who came to investigate." Zhong Yuan Zhong also answered casually.

"Haha." Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes as if he was troubled by the next thing, looked at his fingertips, and finally returned to his normal indifferent tone, "They are getting rougher and rougher. Submit the plan to Mr. Mori, and if possible, I want to retrain the working standards of ordinary members as soon as possible."

"Demon bandage bastard." Chuya Nakahara called Dazai Osamu a new name, and then frowned and said, "Hey, come and help me look at the back of the neck. No matter how you adjust it, there seems to be something stuck there."

"Never……"

"If you talk too much, I'll beat you."

"Violence is prohibited——" Osamu Dazai frowned and complained, but he still walked over after lightly smacking his mouth, "I really hope that I can also keep this sentence firmly in my mind."

The shops here have already been investigated for the second time. When the two walked out of the smashed shop, Zhong Yuanzhong also dug out the map and followed the previous speculation and the surveillance video to show the other party's retreat route. They had to walk it again.Osamu Dazai was responsible for investigating the narrow alleys between tall buildings in the block. From experience, this kind of place can always find some unexpected and useful clues.

Alleys No. [-] and No. [-] were investigated quickly, and three cigarette butts on the trash can were found.After inquiring, I found that the alley here was closed until yesterday after the accident that night, and the heating pipes were being repaired, so these cigarette butts are probably one of the evidences left that night.

Taking pictures of those cigarette butts, he picked up the handkerchief—the handkerchief of Chuya that he just touched—with disgust and put it in his pocket.Osamu Dazai walked into the third alley, stopped suddenly when he reached the depths, and then smiled with his lips pursed: "Ah... I was still wondering where you would wait for me. Did you really stay here? "

He tilted his head to look to the left, there was another alley extending to the left, the girl with pink hair folded her arms and stood against the wall, staring at him very quietly.

Osamu Dazai smiled at her: "What's the matter?"

Youxing was expressionless on the surface, but deep down in her heart she couldn't help but flinch subconsciously from that smile.She stood silently at the same place, but she didn't know why she chased her out, and she stayed here quietly, deliberately avoiding Chuya, waiting for Osamu Dazai to investigate here.

"You..." She spoke in a low voice, but because her voice was too tense, she startled herself, so she had to clear her throat forcefully, and then spoke again, "How did you take Chuuya away?"

It seems that after speaking the difficult first question, the following words also flowed smoothly, and the courage to break the jar also emerged.Yuxing bit her lips, stared at Dazai Osamu resentfully and blankly, and continued to question: "How did you take Chuya away from the "sheep"? "

"Fufu~ boring question." Dazai Osamu bent his lips, "I thought you would ask me something after you chased me out. How did you take Chuya away? The answer to this question is really obvious. Chuya is not 'follow me. ', he just left you, he left 'of his own will', until now, hasn't he found out?"

"Just now in the store, you and Chuya said that it was because we always only thought about relying on Chuya, but never thought about him. That's what those words meant to express. I heard it." You Xing Biting her lips made a deep mark, she knew that the things she asked next were actually very meaningless, but she was very sad in her heart, she didn't know whether she was mourning the happy past that could no longer be copied, or confused them How did it get to where it is today.

"But...but there must be a fuse, right?" The girl's soft voice trembled slightly, "Why. Why did you leave us suddenly? You appeared suddenly that day, and then Chuya rejected us , and left with you... What did you do to Zhongzhong? And what you just let me see in the store..."

Youxing couldn't believe it, but she still asked with great difficulty: "Is Chuya and you... together? Did you deliberately take him away from us because you were dissatisfied that we were the closest to him?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Dazai blinked.

Ah, that's it.correct.This girl... the lambs, don't know the truth about Chuya's status as "Huang Ba Tu", and don't know about Rimbaud's incident;

So in their eyes, they only knew that one day, Chuya began to pursue a rumor circulating on the street, and then indeed "he suddenly appeared out of thin air", and then took Zhongya Zhongya away in front of them.What happened after that, the lambs have no way of knowing. They can only know that not long after Zhongye followed him, the news they got was that Zhongye and their most hated mafia teamed up to solve "a certain incident" ".

If you think about it this way, it is true that it will cause panic, right?It is reasonable to want to ask clearly.Although the lambs who are unwilling to communicate with Zhongye, or consider issues from the standpoint of Zhongye, they have many problems themselves.

……

I always feel like I'm carrying resentment that doesn't belong to me.Dazai thought.

He was starting to get bored and didn't want to keep playing with him.It's fun to tease a clueless little girl, but it's not fun being asked silly questions.Besides, what kind of problem is that?Together...so does that mean he's jealous?

It made Osamu Dazai a little physically uncomfortable to be labeled such a very "human" emotion.After a pause of two seconds, he raised the corners of his mouth without any warmth, and just wanted to hastily end the conversation, so he politely and perfunctorily said: "Yes, Chuya and I are together. The childhood sweethearts who grew up together or something It's really annoying, so let him leave you."

Youxing opened her eyes wide: "Are you joking? Chuya and...you? You are not from the same world at all!"

Osamu Dazai was bored and thought, is that also the same world as you?A little monster and a flock of lambs?What kind of strange combination is this that can be featured in the Moonlight program group?He glanced at Youxing, and said flatly, "For example?"

"Bi, for example?" You Xing was a little at a loss, she couldn't react at the unexpected questioning, and subconsciously replied, "For example, being with Zhongye will feel at ease, we know that we are weak, and Zhongye never Will look down on us because of our weakness. But your words..."

Osamu Dazai blinked again, feeling extremely innocent: "I didn't mock you either, did I?... Well, probably not?" He wasn't very sure, because he really had nothing to do with this group of lambs, but did he? Casually ridiculed this matter, but really uncertain.

"It's not a mockery." You Xing said, "It's yours..."

eyes.

Her voice stopped abruptly.

When she was talking about this, she suddenly realized why the young man in front of her was so handsome and good-looking, whether she saw him for the first time or stood in front of him now, all she left in her heart was Fear.

That's because... the way he looked at himself.

That's not the way you look at your peers.It was as if looking at a weed on the side of the road, an ant passing by, or a pebble on the river bank, with calm and emotionless eyes.Will it make people doubt that in his eyes, does he really exist as a human being?

A mafia with such eyes is young and handsome, but when he presumably kills someone, he is also young, handsome and polite.

Youxing subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly dared not speak.

But Osamu Dazai already understood her eyes and everything she was thinking.So in the eyes of this group of lambs, is Zhong also a normal person through and through?It's too ridiculous, a game where a little monster tries so hard to play the role of a human being, it's not a ghost story in a book.

Zhong also has been so obsessed with living in this world, what is the point?

Zhong also has been so obsessed with human beings, what is the point?

That was something I had been unable to figure out and was curious about since the incident last time.

Osamu Dazai suddenly got tired of this conversation.The smile on the corner of his mouth widened and became cold and weird. He stepped forward and pinned him against the wall before Youxing could react.

"No one ever told you that girls are cuter if they talk less?" The 15-year-old black-haired boy smiled softly in Youxing's terrified eyes, "You're right, but you're also wrong. Zhongye may not be in the same world as me, but it is definitely not in the same world as you, but you little lambs don’t know that’s all. Don’t worry, those just lied to you, and Zhongnian is not with me Together, just to see your reaction, just for fun. The collar is also, it is a lie that it is made for the task, and there is a GPS device on it to send back information at a fixed point, which can conveniently record the route that has been stroked. That's why he's wearing it. It's only to that extent."

"Then since you are not with Chuya, why do you act like that?" Dazai Osamu said with a smile, "Of course it is for observation. Have you caught bugs you have never seen before, locked them in a glass box, and then Do you watch it every day with curiosity and anticipation? That’s what I’m doing right now. I want to see more, more reactions in the face of various things, because I’m really curious. You know what? In the store just now, when I saw that Zhong Ye softened towards you for a moment, I was actually thinking..."

"If I kill you." Dazai Osamu's gentle, beautiful kite-colored eyes slowly curved into an innocent crescent moon, "in front of Chuya. What will he be at that time?" What about the reaction... Ah, by the way, you just said that the two of us are together, this funny guess, how much do we look like together? Then I thought again, Zhong also hates it, but if you In front of... in front of my former companions, if I invaded Chuuya, what kind of wonderful expression will Chuya's face show at that time? And, hehe, have you tried it? Haven't you? .About the matter of 'really killing Chuya Nakahara'. The moment he kills Chuya...what will he be like?"

"All of the above." Osamu Dazai said softly, "I, too, are very curious."

Youxing's eyes opened wide suddenly, and all the fear she had been in all the time suddenly burst out.She began to struggle violently, but this young man who looked very thin and about the same height as her did not know what kind of ingenuity was used. While saying desperate words, she still clamped herself tightly, and she didn't even lose her breath. a trace.

demon.

This is the devil!

Will she die today?She must die today!

After struggling fiercely for an unknown amount of time, just when Youxing felt that she was about to die, the restraint on her wrist was suddenly released, and the hand that was tightly covering her mouth also left.She froze for a moment, looked at the boy in front of her with tears in her eyes, and found that he had stepped back a few steps, the smile on his face was no longer so weird, and he was as indifferent as looking at the grass by the side of the road.

"It's so boring. You just cry." He announced to himself, "I'm tired. Don't worry, those just lied to you. It's no good to kill you. I don't like other people's blood. the feeling on the body."

As he said that, he turned around, and it seemed that he was really about to leave; Youxing slid down against the wall with trembling legs after he walked seven or eight meters away, tears streaming all over his face, and he even stood up I have no strength left.

She heard the boy who had become extremely terrifying in an instant, and then returned to a harmless appearance in an instant, saying to her: "Ah, there is one more thing. I advise you not to leave there right now."

what?

Before Youxing could react, she heard a familiar slightly hoarse voice from the entrance of the alley.

"Who are you talking to?" Zhong Yuanzhong also returned.

"It's nothing, it's just a stray cat...Compared to that, how about the investigation?" The black-haired boy greeted him unhurriedly, with a calm smile that nothing had happened.

Then, the footsteps of the two people became farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared.Youxing sat on the ground, slowly curled up her legs, and buried her face deeply in her knees.

On the other hand, Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai's investigation in No. [-] Street has been completed, and they have gained a lot, so they can go home.The two walked to where the car was parked.

On the way, Chuya Nakahara was silent for a while, and then suddenly said to Osamu Dazai who was walking beside him: "You deliberately bully Yuxing, I think you are very free."

"Ah, did Chuya see that?" Osamu Dazai looked at the ground, skipped a few steps, and didn't ask Nakahara. Chuya also knew all about his "bullying" today, and he just guessed what he didn't do in the alley just now. What a good thing, "how did you see it?"

"Do you still need to look?" Nakahara put his hands in his pockets and snorted disdainfully, "Guess."

Osamu Dazai wrinkled his nose: "I've wanted to talk about this for a long time. Although Chuya is reckless, he occasionally has a strong intuition about what I want to do or what I have done."

"You haven't said why you bullied her... It's very troublesome for that guy to cry, um, although it has nothing to do with me now."

"It's nothing, it's just that she doesn't have enough self-knowledge. She is so big and so weak, and she doesn't know the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. This is all the sequelae left by Chuya before." Dazai Osamu said, "Because I said It made me unhappy, so I just frightened her a little."

"You are so weird, you always get angry suddenly, who knows where you are unhappy?"

"What do you mean?" Osamu Dazai took two brisk steps to the front, then turned his back and walked backwards with ease, while tilting his head to look at the expressions on the faces of his peers, "It's because I bullied you Are you blaming me for the matter of your former companion?"

"Huh??" Zhong Yuan Zhong also looked puzzled, "Where am I blaming you?"

"It's everywhere." Osamu Dazai spread his hands.

"No. It's just an extra question. I wouldn't have asked if I knew you were such a troublesome one."

"Ah, is this perfunctory? Are you perfunctory me?"

"No—yes—by the way, your tone makes me really want to hit you, can I hit you?"

Osamu Dazai skillfully avoided Nakahara Chuya's sweep, and then jumped up with the help of the railing next to him, causing Chuya to trip over the brick on the ground that was previously blocked by him.

He looked at Zhongya Zhongyuan, and suddenly thought of Xiaoyang's questioning just now, asking if Zhongye was with him, and he was jealous.

At that time, I refuted that because I was bored with her.Osamu Dazai rubbed his chin and thought.But now that I think about this possibility carefully, it really is impossible no matter how I think about it.

"Hey, Dazai." Zhong Yuanzhong didn't know what to think of, and suddenly called him, "Is the abdominal wound still bursting and bleeding today?"

"Huh?" Dazai Osamu was thinking about something in his heart, didn't pay much attention to Nakahara Chuya's question, and answered casually, "No. It's not so easy to collapse."

Zhong Yuanzhong stopped talking.

Osamu Dazai tapped his palm and made a decision.

Try it out.

He lazily took two quick steps, walked up to Zhongye and patted him on the shoulder: "Zhongye, listen to me."

"What?" Zhong also tilted his head.

At the moment when he turned his head, Osamu Dazai leaned forward lightly, and the warm breath of each other fell on their lips.Osamu Dazai opened his mouth slightly, and put Chuya Nakahara's lips in his mouth.

Just for a second.A second later, Osamu Dazai returned the same way, leaving the distance between the two of them.I confirmed that I am not jealous—if I am jealous, a kiss from the person who is jealous will soothe my mood.But my mood is still the same as before.If I have to say... Chuya's lips are cool and soft, and the taste is not bad?

Even though he was thinking this way, Osamu Dazai stepped up and staggered two steps. While running forward quickly, he waved his hand at Zhong: "Don't worry, just see how Zhong also reacts—"

Zhong Yuanzhong also stayed in place in a daze.

Three seconds later.The confusion dissipated, and blood slowly surged up.

Then, a small volcano erupted.

"Tai-zai-zhi!!!!!!"

"I absolutely want to kill you today!!!!!!!!!"

……

After a fight, the two of them had bruises on their faces, and they returned to the headquarters building one after the other, ignoring the other.

Mori Ogai was not surprised to see the two children he was about to raise well, go out and come back like this, he has seen this situation countless times in the past half month.

"Did you fight again?" He felt that this sentence had become a routine greeting, and he didn't intend to hear the answer, but continued to ask, "So, the result of the investigation?"

Zhongyuan Zhongya stood stiffly on the spot, although he showed respect, but he could still see the uncontained anger on his face; of course, Dazai’s expression on the other side was not much better, but the biggest difference between him and Zhongyuan Zhongye was that , even if he was in a bad mood, he definitely didn't want Mori Ogai to see a little joke.

Osamu Dazai walked forward indifferently, and put down the investigation results and chain of evidence on Mori Ogai's desk.

"Preliminary debriefing now on the investigation into the GSS plot against the Mafia."

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes and his voice was calm.

"After conducting a two-party investigation, I don't think the GSS has joined forces with other organizations to fight the Mafia—"

"——Instead, they adopted a method that has not yet been determined, and in this short period of more than a month, frantically annexed them all."

TBC.
