Ango pursed his lips, thinking.
Qian Ye had already hung up the phone at this time. To be more precise, the caller cut off the communication first after leaving the intriguing words 'being targeted by monsters'.
Qian Ye looked at the phone, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "Are there so many new ways to defraud phone calls these days? Even people with super powers dare to deceive them."
... is a conclusion that is easy to understand for ordinary people, but there are so many things wrong with it for people with super powers.
At least Dazai couldn't wait for Ango's reply and chuckled.
Dazai: "Let me connect the dots. The devil is eyeing Mr. Hellbringer and wants him to die at the airport to make a big news. But to Mr. Amamiya, he is just an episode worth noting, a passer-by. There wasn’t even a ripple. Now, I don’t know if it was someone instructed by Majin to spread the fear of monsters, but Mr. Amamiya concluded that it was...a scam call?"
He couldn't stop laughing, and Ango looked at him inexplicably, feeling that his smile was crooked.
Is there anything worth laughing about?
Dazai thought it was worth it and said, "Because he felt from the bottom of his heart that this was a scam call."
Ango: "...Since he is someone the Bell Tower Attendant also wants to recruit, he shouldn't be so naive." Ango felt that the other person's past life should also be full of all kinds of thrills.
Ango used his own thinking to understand: "I think he must be speaking sarcastically. Isn't there a kind of person? On the surface, he behaves very calmly, but in private, he has long been thinking about conspiracy and is very anxious. Mr. Amamiya is in this city. The only person I know is Mr. Kunikida, and we don’t know yet whether he is planning to get close to him and want to gain the trust of the Armed Detective Agency..."
Dazai interrupted him: "It's not that complicated. He has even started to enjoy the food. While eating, he is taking notes in his notebook. He is analyzing what ingredients and seasonings are added to the food and what are the specific procedures..."
Ango picked up his headphones and listened with an expressionless expression. After listening, he put it down and said, "Then he really didn't take it to heart."
Dazai: "So you don't laugh?"
Ango: "That's not funny at all."
Dazai: "This complaint is not interesting enough."
Ango: "If you knew how many real-life beatings I have experienced over the years, how many times I couldn't escape staying up late and working overtime, and how many times I couldn't see myself getting off work, you would be like me and not laugh easily."
Dazai stopped laughing, he also felt seriousness from Ango. He bared his teeth and said, "Okay. So, Mr. Assistant Counselor of the Special Service Section, has he figured it out?"
Ango looked at Dazai and said after a few seconds: "I know an expert in dealing with monsters. He is very efficient, not much worse than Edogawa Ranpo. You can entrust him with this task."
Dazai can put this matter aside and continue to invest in investigating Amamiya Qianye's supernatural powers.
For Dazai, matters involving Majin, his old rival, are certainly important, but things involving Oda Sakunosuke... should be the highest priority in Dazai's mind.
The other party does not allow other forces to interfere in this process, such as demons or monsters. He just wants to push these external forces out.
And Ango met the other person's needs.
Dazai then smiled with satisfaction.
Qian Ye didn't realize that the food packaging box was equipped with a bug. After eating, he stuffed the packaging box into a garbage bag and placed it in an external trash can in the yard.
Japan is very strict about garbage classification. Different garbage can be thrown into corresponding places on different days. Qian Ye will only be stricter in this regard... He will not even let garbage stay in the house overnight.
Anyway, the yard is big, just put a few external trash cans. Wait until the time comes before taking it out and throwing it away.
After eating, he opened his laptop and started searching major publishing houses in Yokohama.
With the development of technology, the publishing house also has its own official website and a dedicated nighttime customer service staff. After asking many questions, he turned to investigate various foundations and orphanages in Yokohama City.
Unfortunately, just look at things like the Foundation. Whether it is Yokohama or other places, just from the information released on their website, you can see many loopholes.
There are certainly formal ones among them, but looking at them one by one, real numbers are not necessary.
Qianye and Oda have known each other for two years, and he thinks he has some understanding of this man. Although the other party sympathizes with the weak, he is still essentially a person who has not received formal education and entered the killer industry at a young age.
Although I don’t know why he quit the killer industry midway, for Oda, he should be more concerned about children like himself who have no parents and can only crawl around in the world alone than those seriously ill children who are cared for by their parents. Orphan.
...It can be seen from the five orphans he adopted during his lifetime that he was worried that these children would go astray like himself.
Qian Ye: "...Then the focus should be on the orphanage."
But as a newcomer, he didn't know there were any orphanages in the country... So Mr. Special Encyclopedia appeared.
When Kunikida received Qianye's call, he had just finished taking a shower. When he heard Qianye's question, he was a little strange: "You mean, orphanage?" 】
Qian Ye said: "Well, I mean the kind of hospital that is serious and responsible and will implement the donations."
We are all adults, Qian Ye feels that some things don’t need to be explained too clearly. In modern society where people are impetuous, orphanages can also become a profit-making tool for some people.
Just like the foundation, no matter how nice it sounds on the surface, no one knows what will happen internally. After changing the person in charge, the situation may change seriously.
Rather than rely on consulting each house on his own, he felt that he would be able to get more comprehensive information by asking members of the Butei Club, one of the local gangsters.
... Mainly because he believed in Kunikida. This is a person who will conduct rigorous research before doing anything, distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, and will not be easily deceived.
Kunikida's voice was as calm as ever: [I know a few orphanages. But... Qianye, are you planning to donate? 】
Qianye touched his nose uncomfortably and said, "Well, it doesn't count as me. But the first payment in the early stage was made by me, and it wasn't a lot of money." He is not the kind of person who affects his normal life just for doing good deeds. people.
It's okay to be a volunteer, it's okay to donate some idle money, but it's not okay to donate too much.
Qian Ye is a person who aspires to become a novelist. He and Oda have discussed many professional topics and are very confident that Oda's books can be sold.
Even if the sales volume is not much, you can still make a lot of money if you can sell it. But it hasn't officially started yet, and he wants to make the first payment himself.
He is not as great as Oda. The reason why he wants to make a first-hand contribution is because...now that everything is before his eyes, he is touched by Oda's desire to do good, so he follows his heart and makes a contribution. Force it.
Besides, doing good deeds always pays off. Even if you don’t get rewards during your lifetime, you will get them after death.
...Using current money to invest in the future can be regarded as preparing for a rainy day.
【This is enough. ] Kunikida agreed very much with what he said, [A person's power is limited. I'm not saying that those who do their best are bad, but it is enough to do your part before ensuring that your life is not affected. . Even if you don't contribute, just not causing trouble is very rare. 】
Qian Ye: "...It seems that your past experiences have been very colorful."
Kunikida stopped talking and muttered: "It's so exciting, I don't want to remember it." 】
Although he said that, Kunikida still remembered that Qian Ye had just arrived, so he patiently explained: [Yokohama is not like London, where you lived before. As a concession city, in addition to local illegal organizations, there are many foreign organizations, and even hired employees. Soldiers, experts who specialize in forging passports, escorting criminals and providing funding, etc. This is just the tip of the iceberg I mentioned. You can understand how complicated it can be. What scenes the armed detective agency that accepts the government to solve such criminal cases sees every day. And criminals. But you don’t have to worry too much. As long as you stay in the safe zone, you are generally safe. Even if you leave the safe zone, as long as you don’t mind your own business, there is a high probability that nothing will happen. 】
He thought about it and realized that Qianye, like himself, was someone who cared about notebooks very much, so he added: [But even if it is safe, you must be vigilant. There are many people with supernatural powers in Yokohama, and their abilities are also diverse. You cannot Exclude people with similar clairvoyance abilities. ] And as if he couldn't help it, he added something like a complaint, [You can't rule out the kind of people who change your notebook quickly and put it back after reading it! 】
For Kunikida, it must be a huge disaster for his notebook to be exchanged.
Qian Ye felt that this kind of thing was really troublesome, and thought something was wrong: "The person behind him is real."
Kunikida pursed his lips, pushed up his lenses and said: [Existence, my colleague. If possible I hope you never know him for the rest of your life. 】
"I see..." 'He' probably refers to men.
Kunikida may be thinking of something: [If you see a weirdo with bandages all over his body outside, whether he is fighting for food with wild dogs, drowning, or hanging himself, just pretend you didn't see him. If you accidentally catch one while fishing, you just need to kick him hard in the face to make him sink into the water. 】
The resentment rushing towards him was so strong that it was impossible to ignore.
Qian Ye: ...What on earth did that gentleman do to you to make you so stressed?
Even when he mentioned it, his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.
——That's right. Just from these descriptions, you can tell that he is a difficult colleague.
