I counted my fingers and finally counted five days.
In fact, if I were not allowed to leave the house for even a second, I would still be willing to stay at home for five days.
What's more, the current situation is special and I need a lot of time to search for clues.
But the problem now is that I have not even been allowed to step out of the house for five days. This is such torture for a person who works in the field all year round.
In the end, even playing with snakes was no longer interesting.
But now, I, Kirihara, have finally made it through!
The moment Chuuya opened the door, I almost ran out, and then he grabbed the back of my clothes and almost choked me.
"If you make a mistake, you should look like you have made a mistake." Chuuya taught.
My dark eyes, covered by a wide hat, doubled up silently.
But such resistance was silent and weak after all. I was forced to resist the urge to go out to bask in the sun, and was carried all the way to the chief's office by Chuuya.
"You won't accompany me?" I stared at Chuuya who was just watching.
"We are all old acquaintances, what are we afraid of?" He shrugged helplessly.
Yes, they are all "old acquaintances", what are you afraid of?
I pulled up the red scarf on my face so that it covered my face as much as possible, and stepped in with big strides.
I took these two steps in a hurry. If it weren't for my openness, others would probably think that I was here to assassinate the leader.
But the actual result is that I gave up as soon as I walked in front of Mori Owai. h
"Chief." I half-knelt on the ground.
For a long time, there was no sound from the people in front of me. The only thing that could reach my ears was the howling of the distant wind outside the window.
I took off my hood and raised my eyelids to take a look.
This is probably one of the few scenes in my mind where Mori Ogai is bathed in sunlight.
At this time, his face was peaceful, and even his slight wrinkles looked peaceful. The hem of his clothes hit the ground and was not stained by dust.
There was no Alice beside Mori Ogai, and he himself seemed to be asleep.
But my intuition tells me that such a person who can firmly sit at the top of Port Mafia is definitely not an ordinary person who does not notice other people entering his office.
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of a detail that was ignored by the bed: I forgot to knock on the door.
This is not a very critical point, but it was enough to shock me for a moment.
I continued to lower my head, quietly waiting for the next instruction.
"Ah, Azawa, you are here, I thought you were Alice-chan."
After a long time, Mori Ogai slowly opened his eyes.
Pretend, keep pretending, you old man.
My knees were numb at this moment, so my face was even colder.
"The failure to inform the leader in advance is indeed due to lack of consideration by my subordinates."
"From Azawa's tone, it seems that he is a little dissatisfied with me?" Mori Ogai's eyes were filled with a dangerous smile.
"How dare you... I'm just a little angry that the leader is using me as a scapegoat."
Mori Ogai had a slight smile on his lips, and his right hand was leisurely playing with the hanging hair, as if waiting for my next answer.
"Nowadays, the shapeshifters are ready to move, the homing pigeons are approaching every step of the way, and the detective agency seems to be inseparable. The longer you spend with someone, the more complete the information that this person has."
"So, the leader punished me for five days of confinement. He called me here early and didn't let Zhongya accompany me. But after I came in, I didn't say a word. Isn't it just to let the enemy's attention focus on me, which is convenient? To hide the organization’s true goals?”
I muttered in one breath, pretending to be calm but dissatisfied, like a sensible child blaming his parents.
As expected, Mori Ogai chuckled after hearing this: "You are more frank than before."
"I guess I became more than that."
"You're right," Mori Ogai stood up, Yonggui's coat rustled, his fingers touched my cheek, and it felt bone-chilling cold wherever it touched, "You are also smarter than before... you He’s starting to look more and more like that kid.”
"That child, does it mean Dazai?"
"Yes, old friends. I still remember that your relationship at that time was not generally good."
"Dazai said you were afraid of him." I was happy to see a flash of nervousness on Mori Ogai's face, and his cold palms intentionally or unintentionally passed over my neck.
"Oh? What do you mean, I will be more afraid of you?"
"Of course not," I shook my head with great self-knowledge, "but you will never kill me easily."
"I want to hear the reason."
"Because I am still a useful chess piece to you."
…
"Hey, let me tell you, what on earth did you and the leader talk about? This is the first time in so many years that I have seen him so angry - I even laughed out of anger."
"I didn't say anything. Oops!"
Chuuya punched me on the Tenlingai, causing me to scream in agony.
"That's right, the way you talk and deal with people will make everyone angry."
I tilted my head helplessly.
The season at this time is also different from when I first entered the illusion of morning fog. It should be late autumn now, and there is a soft chill in the air.
It was like a woman was accumulating a thin layer of anger, and when the time came, she would pour out her reluctance amid the violent storm and snow.
I subconsciously tightened my clothes to bring the remaining warmth closer to me.
"Are you cold?" Chuuya tilted his head and looked at me. He was wearing thicker clothes than me, so he was obviously well prepared.
I nodded: "Where are we going?"
"The leader asked me to take you to a familiar place for a walk. I'm afraid you won't be in good condition these days."
"If I continue to freeze, my condition will only get worse." I said casually with my heart tightening.
Chuuya raised his hand and took off my hood, rubbing it randomly. He didn't stop until he saw that I was getting impatient.
"Children need to be a little energetic. The weather is far from as cold as you said... Look! We are here."
I was about to complain, but when I looked up I realized it was the Lupin brand.
I felt increasingly uneasy: "Is this also what the leader asked for?"
Chuuya obviously didn't expect that I would ask this. He was a little stunned, but still replied: "I only know this one of the several places he mentioned."
I feel colder, more from the inside out. Although Mori Ogai didn't want to kill me directly, he kept pushing me into the fire pit.
I once again recalled the contents of Kiriharazawa's diary. I'm afraid that the information about his life experience related to the book was indirectly passed on to Kirihara's ears by Mori Ogai through the shapeshifter through some means.
An old conspirator.
If I guessed correctly, Dazai should also be in Lupin.
In this way, as long as anyone sees us entering here, they will immediately suspect that I exchanged information with the detective agency under the instruction of leader Mori Ogai.
If I guessed correctly, the next step should be to remove Chuuya.
Jingle Bell--
The next second, I heard Chuuya's cell phone ringing.
Chuuya answered the phone and after saying a few words, he looked apologetic.
"There's something you need from me at Mafia, so you can go shopping by yourself first."
"Um."
"Don't worry, I will make it up to you when I have time." Chuuya also wanted to touch my head, but I refused.
I stood there and watched his figure gradually disappear into the autumn wind. Among the tall buildings, the confusion in my chest gradually dissipated.
I turned around and walked into Lupin.
Homing pigeons, right? Mafia, right? Then let me meet you.
