Shinjuku Ward has the largest number of foreigners among the 23 wards of Tokyo, and is home to Kabukicho, Shinanomachi, the largest downtown town in Wano Country, and Kagurazaka, which is full of Shitamachi flavor.

When you walk alone on the streets of Shinjuku at night, both men and women are easily entangled by drunks, and you can often see crows and some women smoking illegal drugs on the streets, and even people carrying knives walking around the streets can be said to be charming and dangerous, and it also attracts many low-level mixed-race celestial people to gather here to seek excitement, forming a unique regional section in the 23 wards......

Of course, in addition to the thrill-seeking youth, the large number of low-cost apartment buildings in Shitamachi, Shinjuku Ward, also attracts many low-income office workers from the city to rent here

Shinjuku-ku, Arakicho 83.

Kimura Building.

This old apartment building is located near Yotsuya-3chome Station on the Marunouchi Line, and it is about a 4-minute walk from Exit 4 of Sanchome Station, and the rent is about 70,000 yen a month.

In the early spring evening, the twilight slanted from the end of the street, and the night began to stretch on the other side of the sky, preparing for the grand debut that was to come.

A tall middle-aged man in a beige suit, looking quite mature and steady, walked slowly from the dim and psychedelic light with a convenience bag and a briefcase in his left and right hands.

This middle-aged man's name is Kenjiro Nanami, an ordinary part-time worker who entered an ordinary enterprise after graduating from high school.

From the bottom of his heart, he hated overtime.

But in fact, he has been working overtime.

Because in addition to his own job, Kenjiro Nanami occasionally needs to take on some "private work".

Around the corner of the street, when passing a roadside garbage bin, Kenjiro Nanami stopped and took out something wrapped in a white cloth from his briefcase and threw it into the bin without looking.

The neighborhood around this apartment building in Arakicho is so rotten that there are no cameras around the street dumpsters, so he can safely dispose of some of the things he brought back from his private work.

After throwing away the trash, Kenjiro Nanami walked two more blocks and came to an old apartment called the Kimura Building.

The gray walls outside the apartment building curled off like fish scales, and when he walked up the outer ladder, he could see piles of black garbage bags at the door and at the end of the corridor almost every time he passed the floor, and the condition of the apartment could be seen from the sanitary situation.

It stands to reason that Kenjiro Nanami's "two jobs" can live in a better community, but perhaps because of the convenience of transportation close to the train station, he has lived here for four years.

Walking to his rented house on the fifth floor, Kenjiro Nanami took out the key.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open from the outside.

"I'm back."

Kenjiro Nanami habitually shouted.

"Welcome back."

Two crisp children's voices sounded inside the door.

The next moment, I saw two little girls who looked like seven or eight years old, one wearing housekeeping clothes, a small hat on her head, and the other with an apron tied around her waist.

Rushing in front of Kenjiro Nanami, the two little girls quickly put their slippers a few centimeters in front of Kenjiro's feet, and the movements were skillfully aligned, and it seemed that they had cooperated many times.

But when Kenjiro Nanami took off the beige suit he was wearing a little tiredly, the two little guys grabbed the man's sleeves left and right, and fought for it without giving in.

"I'm coming! I'm here to help Uncle Nanami put it! ”

"How many times have I said it, Uncle Nanami's clothes let me put them!"

"Uncle said last time let me let me go!"

"Not really! You're cheating! ”

“”

Two little girls, Natsusa Kiritama and Namiko Jokawa, clenched their little fists and stared at each other with their cheeks puffed out, and the spitting stars danced in the sunset diagonally from the windowsill.

Kenjiro Nanami felt this "warm" scene, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows expressionlessly, and silently changed his slippers in the entrance and walked inside.

He was the child who grew up in an orphanage, one of the two little ones he adopted from the orphanage, and the other was a single parent who originally followed his mother.

However, her mother works in a nightclub, and somehow began to take illegal drugs and gambling debts, and she has disappeared two years ago, and was "picked up" by him by chance.

Walking over to the table on the tatami mat, Kenjiro Nanami put down the convenience bag he was carrying.

The two little girls behind them quarreled as if they had pressed the mute button, looked at each other, and rushed over with two short legs.

The convenience bag contains tempura fried juicy chicken nuggets, charcoal-grilled chicken wings, and chicken corn that Kenjiro Nanami bought from a roadside deli after getting off the train, as well as two small bottles of carbonated drinks.

These fried foods, which are considered by children's experts to be the beasts of the flood, have always been a favorite of the little ones, and Kenjiro Nanami has never forbidden them to eat them.

In his opinion, when you are alive, you should eat as comfortably as possible, after all, no one knows if you will wake up one day and never be able to eat the next meal.

But these two little guys didn't just care about eating, Namiko Ikawa, who had an apron around her neck, suddenly kicked Kiritama Natsusa, and the two quirky little guys glanced at each other, and at the same time said sweetly to Nanami Kenjiro:

"Uncle Nanami!

Close your eyes!

Close your eyes."

In early spring, when the weather was a little cold and there was no heating in the rented room, Kenjiro Nanami entered the door and sat on the tatami mat wearing a brown woolen sweater and turned on the small color TV, holding his chin with one hand and holding the remote control in the other hand boredly while constantly changing the table.

Hearing the words of the two little guys, his dead fish eyes that didn't have much of a look turned to look at the two of them, and then turned his head to continue watching TV, completely bothering with the pranks of the two.

But this "indifference" only lasted for a short time, and in the blink of an eye, he was defeated by the unrelenting coquettishness of the two little guys, and he could only close his eyes helplessly.

It's just that when he closed it, listening to the hurried footsteps in his ears, he said in a very cold tone, "Stop the pranks, otherwise everything I brought back will be eaten by one person." ”

"Ahh Nothing left? ”

Kirima Natsusha suddenly asked pitifully.

"Not at all."

Kenjiro Nanami's tone was very affirmative.

At this time, Namiko Jokawa suddenly shouted urgently, "Xiasha, you idiot! Come and help! ”

"Ahh Good! Kirima Satsusha hurriedly ran over with her little short legs.

Kenjiro Nanami's eyes were still closed.

I just don't know when, but the sound in my ears gradually disappeared.

In the darkness, he frowned slightly, his professional habits made him very uncomfortable with the feeling of not being able to control his surroundings

But as soon as his eyelids trembled slightly, he heard a crisp scolding from a little girl in his ears.

"Don't open your eyes!"

After a while, finally, the voice of a little girl came to my ears.

"Alright, Uncle Nanami! Now you can open your eyes. ”

Kenjiro Nanami opened his eyes slightly.

In front of me, I saw a palm-sized chocolate cream cake with a burning candle on it.

The two little ones didn't fight this time, and the four little hands held it together, and held it up in front of Kenjiro Nanami like a treasure.

The warm yellow candlelight flickered, and Kenjiro Nanami's lifeless dead fish eyes looked at the candlelight in front of him in a daze, and the originally cold lines at the corners of his eyes suddenly softened.

It turns out that someone still remembers his birthday.

"Thank you."

He lowered his eyes and whispered.

"Thank you, Uncle Nanami! It's time to blow out the candles! ”

"No, no, no! It should be the first thing to make a wish! ”

Without saying a word, the two little guys quarreled with their noses and eyes, and their round cheeks were not eyes.

Kenjiro Nanami looked at the two little ones, and looked at the little cake with the flickering candle flame, and there was a glimmer of light in his lifeless eyes.

Since the death of his parents and brother in an accident many years ago, he has been repeating certain tasks day after day, thinking that the word "happiness" has become a luxury for the rest of his life.

I didn't expect that sometimes, it came so suddenly, so simply.

After a chicken-and-dog argument, Kenjiro Nanami made a wish to blow out the candles in the happy birthday song of the two little ones, and the two little ones forced Kenjiro Nanami to sit on the tatami mat and watch TV, while they went into the kitchen and began to cook.

In the words of the two little guys, Kenjiro Nanami's birthday today is not a hands-on affair, it is time for them to really "show their cooking skills".

Kenjiro Nanami, who was sitting on the tatami mat, listened to the clashing of pots and pans in the kitchen and the occasional quarrels, and suddenly thought of the two little ones who would grow up and marry each other many years later, and send them out of the house one by one.

It's just that

I'm probably used to this kind of noise

The power of habit is terrifying

Kenjiro Nanami thought.

"Uncle Nanami! The miso is gone, can I go downstairs and buy some miso and come back? ”

"Soy sauce! Soy sauce! I told you yesterday that there is also soy sauce! ”

"Oh yes! And soy sauce! I want white soy sauce! ”

“”

Listening to the sound from the kitchen, Kenjiro Nanami, who had just enjoyed a moment of leisure, got up from the tatami mat with some helplessness, put on his slippers and walked to the entrance, and put on a coat at the door and went out

There is a convenience store not far from the apartment, and when Kenjiro Nanami pushed the door in, the female clerk in staff uniform behind the cash register greeted with a smile:

"Good evening, Mr. Nanami."

"Good evening."

Kenjiro Nanami didn't turn his head, his eyes were already on the seasoning area.

The female clerk was not surprised by this, and her eyes drifted to Kenjiro Nanami from time to time.

Speaking of which, Kenjiro Nanami always has a listless look in his eyes.

But from the aesthetic point of view of girls, he is also a decadent handsome guy, but unfortunately, it is said that he already has two daughters, which makes people have to be discouraged in the face of reality.

Kenjiro Nanami quickly finds the seasoning he needs to buy and returns to the cash register.

At checkout, the evening news was playing on the small LCD TV behind the cash register, which said that two lawmakers who had been named and accused yesterday at Pak Jade Square had escaped the chaos.

Unexpectedly, after being admitted to a close-guarded sanatorium today, he still could not escape death, and was assassinated by someone unknowingly, and when he was found, two parliamentarians pleaded guilty next to the body

Obviously, this is a "supplement" to the unfinished trial in Shirakuma Square yesterday, and it is also a kind of disregard and provocation against the power of the Wano country government.

"Ahh It's horrible."

The female clerk noticed Kenjiro Nanami's gaze and glanced back, and the news happened to be playing a photo of the mosaic at the scene of the crime, and quickly turned her head in fright.

"Isn't it scary?"

Kenjiro Nanami asked suddenly.

"Mmmm, there was a lot of blood, it was scary." The female clerk nodded like a chicken.

Kenjiro Nanami stared at the news on the TV, but there was a thoughtful look on his face.

Well, maybe next time I should have bled less.

He thought to himself.

After settling the bill, Kenjiro Nanami walked out of the convenience store at the voice of the female clerk "Welcome to come back next time", and walked along the original road towards his home with miso and soy sauce.

Arriving downstairs,

Go upstairs along the stairs,

Before coming to the rented house,

Take out the keys

So far,

Everything is the same as usual.

It's just that the moment he opened the door, Nanami Kenjiro's heart tightened suddenly, and the foot that entered the door hung in the air, frozen for a moment and then recycled as if going back in time.

But he only received half of it,

It stopped again.

"When you get home, of course you have to go through the door, the kids are still waiting for you, oh? Here's a cake, is it today's birthday? Why don't you celebrate together? ”

Hearing this cold voice, Kenjiro Nanami took a new step and stepped into this house.

There were two people standing next to the tatami mats.

One looked to be in his thirties, with blue-gray hair, and the most eye-catching thing was his pair of vertical pupils that looked like pitch black hell.

Standing beside the man was a woman, who looked like a personal secretary, standing respectfully behind the man with low eyebrows, but exuding an unusually intimidating and terrifying aura.

The TV on the small color TV next to it was playing the news of Tokyo TV, and the content was the same as the news he had just seen in the convenience store downstairs, which was about the death of the two parliamentarians.

"You may be seated."

The gray-white man noticed that Kenjiro Nanami was looking sideways in the direction of the kitchen from time to time, and couldn't help but smile and said, "First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Gaius, the seventh adjudicator of the Adjudication Division. Rhine, who came to Wano Country this time, is responsible for dealing with yesterday's 'White Jade Square Incident' and the special investigation into the killing of the 11th Ruling Envoy. ”

"Hehe, does it look like those two little ones are important to you? You can rest assured that they were just gagged and quieted for the time being, and I didn't want the noise of the children to interfere with the rest of our conversation. ”

"You know what I mean, right?"

Gaius. After Rhine finished speaking, he looked at Kenjiro Nanami, who was sitting on the tatami mat, with a calm face.

At this time, Kenjiro Nanami's eyes that had not been bright in the past were so gloomy that they could drip water, staring at the other party and saying, "I didn't expect the people of the Adjudication Division to use children as hostages. ”

Gaius. Rhine smiled disappreciatively, "No, no, no! It's not a hostage, it's just a guarantee that we can have a smooth conversation, you don't know us, but I've dealt with you human revolutionaries all these years, and I know very well how stubborn your stupid beliefs can sometimes be. ”

Kenjiro Nanami was silent for a moment after hearing this, then looked directly at the other party and said, "What do you want to know?" ”

At this time, standing Gaius. Rhine's female deputy behind Cinder. Fu took a step forward, looked at Nanami Kenjiro with an indifferent face, and asked:

"Your name is Kenjiro Nanami?"

"Yes."

"The most outstanding "scavenger" of the Wano Country Night Evil Revolutionary Army? ”

"Yes."

"You killed those two congressmen on TV?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Orders from above."

A series of four questions, almost each of which is a secret that cannot be resorted to, but at this time, Kenjiro Nanami admits all of them without thinking.

"Good."

Female deputy Hinde. Fu nodded indifferently.

She went on to ask:

"Captain Dragonfly, who claims to be a member of the New Tokyo Discipline Commission, is a member of the Night Evil Revolutionary Army?"

"Isn't it?"

"Do you know where Captain Dragonfly is?"

"I don't know."

"Before the incident in White Jade Square, you had personal contact with Captain Dragonfly?"

"I don't know?"

"Who knows?"

"The people up there."

"Where's the guy up there?"

“”

There was a brief pause in the inquiry.

Xinde. Vu sneered and her gaze drifted to a quiet kitchen, "I hope our conversation will go well so that you can continue your birthday party too." ”

"There's a stronghold in Shibuya."

"Address?"

"I told you you would let us go?"

"Do you have a choice?"

“”

The conversation was interrupted for the second time.

A moment later, Kenjiro Nanami wrote down an address on a blank piece of paper.

Xinde. Eve glanced down, picked it up, and handed it to Gaius, the seventh adjudicator behind her. Rhine.

Shibuya, Sakuragaoka Town 282.

Mikasa Building 3F.

Gaius. Rhine silently recited the address in his heart, and after getting the answer he wanted, the lifeless human in front of him was insignificant in his eyes, and he walked silently towards the outside of the room.

"You're smart for humans and didn't make any stupid attempts or attempts, but I don't really like that, and it makes my best 'interrogation' a chance to perform."

Xinde. Fu glanced at Kenjiro Nanami, and when she walked to the door, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, "Go ahead, don't keep the two little ones waiting for a long time." ”

Kenjiro Nanami bowed his head and walked silently to the kitchen.

I remember that every time the two little ones rushed to cook, they would make a mess of the kitchen, so every time he walked to the kitchen, he was not in a very good mood.

However, at this moment,

Kenjiro Nanami was desperate to see what had happened, he opened the door, and the two little guys who had made a mess of the kitchen hurriedly cleaned up, accusing each other of mischievous

Or back to reality, the two little ones are tied hand and foot, gagged and cooing, and there with wide eyes waiting for their deliverance.

In the next second, Kenjiro Nanami, who walked to the kitchen door, opened the door.

He was nailed to the doorway

The next step has not been taken for a long time.

Kenjiro Nanami, who joined the Yesha Revolutionary Army and has been a "scavenger" for more than ten years, experienced for the first time the feeling of the convenience store clerk downstairs when she saw the news:

It turns out that the smell of red blood is really so bloody and pungent and pungent, making people dizzy, as if they are on the edge of the cliff of hell, and there is endless darkness in front of them, and the tide of despair and pain is like a monstrous wave, and a wave will completely annihilate the small human being.

On the kitchen floor, two small corpses lay quietly in a pool of blood

Outside the rental door, the female deputy Xinde. Vu said respectfully, "The address should be true, there must be a connection between the Nightshade Revolutionary Army and that Dragonfly Captain, as long as you follow this line, there will be results." ”

After a moment of silence, the expressionless Seventh Ruling made Gaius. Rhine commanded lightly:

"Don't let the news get out."

"After dealing with it, call the Metropolitan Police Department to wash the floor."

After saying that, he walked to the corridor where he rented a house.

"Yes!"

Female assistant Xinde. Fudao.

She turned around and raised one palm flat, and suddenly, the crimson flames swelled out of her palm like a huge wave, surging towards the back of the figure standing at the kitchen door!

In an instant!

In the bloody twilight,

A deafening explosion startled!

The flames and smoke of the apartment building rose into the sky, and several rented houses on both sides of the fifth floor were affected by the terrifying explosion, and the shockwave that pushed through it instantly destroyed a large area of the floor and collapsed.

In the evening, when the crowd downstairs heard this terrible explosion, they all stood in horror and looked up, and saw the large burning twilight under the thick smoke that went straight into the sky, but they seemed to faintly hear a hysterical bitter howl like being in prison!

Also in the evening, Higashinohara returned to the Aragaki apartment in Edogawa Ward after class.

At the end of today, he felt that this time the eleventh ruling seemed to be really different from the last time Rising Sun Island killed Councilor Hope, and the sky above Wano Country seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and the invisible air pressure was shrinking towards him little by little.

Passing by the Aragaki Detective Office on the third floor, Xia Li was sitting at the door with the three little milk cats in her arms and waiting for the meal to be served, it seems that there is no work in the office today.

It is worth mentioning that Mai Aragaki, who works in the Third Investigation Group, returned to her apartment today, complaining that half of the assassination cases of the two congressmen they had tracked down today had been intercepted halfway through, and that the hard work had been in vain.

"The Rainbow Realm, the Iron, the Ring, the Ring, the Sword, the Chain, the Ring, the T

Satoru Aragaki said cool words with a smile next to him.

It is said that the third investigation team is a paper tiger without the Tokugawa chestnut tiger, and no one will dare to come up and bully in the future, so it is better to be transferred to a civilian post as soon as possible to sit in the office.

As a father, even if he is not too careful, he definitely doesn't want his daughter to run on the front line all day long.

Mai Aragaki was not convinced in her heart, and puffed out her mouth to argue, "This time the situation is different, it's not that there is a big man from the Adjudication Division, and it is said that the seventh referee who specializes in handling A-level incidents." ”

The Seventh Ruling Makes?

Higashinohara, who was about to go upstairs, heard it and stopped, and couldn't help but think of the ruling that Isato Aida gave him today, and Si Koop seemed to be a little related to the eleventh ruling envoy who was killed by himself?

Tsk, it looks like it's a bit tricky this time

------Off topic------

At the end of the month, ask for a ticket
