10 Retake 10
Today is an unlucky day, at least for Dazai.
Mr. Kunikita's shaky death attack during the day failed to kill him, and he ran into the water in the evening, and because the upper class suddenly opened the gate, he rushed a tire thrown by unknown people in front of Dazai, and brought him to the shore, except for the loss of his wallet as always, today's suicide plan failed again.
He returned to the dormitory in a depressed mood, wanting to open a bottle of wine to comfort himself, but his phone rang.
It is a special ringtone.
Dazai will set different ringtones for different people, and although they all use the same tune, there will be slight differences in details such as drumming, tone, or background sound.
It's hard for ordinary people to tell the difference, but for Dazai, it's as natural as breathing and eating.
He connected his phone and didn't even look at who the caller ID was, just because he knew exactly who it was calling.
I don't know what was said over there, Dazai's expression obviously flashed a hint of surprise, and he replied with a smile: "Okay, I know, I'm sorry for you." ”
Dazai went out and hitchhiked, and when he arrived at the cemetery, he went to the small house next to him and rang the doorbell. The uncle who came to open the door was not surprised to see him, but rubbed his fingers first.
Dazai raised his hands and begged for mercy and said, "Oh, I didn't bring any money today, you look at me, I didn't have time to change my wet clothes, so I knew that my wallet must have been lost~ Will it be good for you next time." ”
The uncle gave him a blank look and said, "I didn't see who the person was, I was in the toilet at the time, I found a bright light over there when I was patrolling, and the tomb you confessed, the person put on three sticks of incense." ”
Dazai didn't believe this, he thought that the uncle should be asleep before he missed it. But well~ There are some things that don't need to be studied too deeply, anyway, what he deals with the other party is only to pay more attention to the situation of the tombstone when patrolling, and to notify himself if there is any abnormality, and to weed the surroundings on weekdays.
Dazai asked, "Is it just incense?" ”
It shouldn't sound like Ango Sakaguchi, and that kid is empty-handed every time he visits. It's no wonder that people like them don't have the etiquette of bringing flowers when they go to the grave, and it's almost the same to bring wine.
After the uncle gave a negative answer, Dazai thanked him with a smile and walked in the direction of Oda Sakunosuke's tombstone.
His eyesight was good, and he was able to see other people's footprints on dirt roads not long after the time had passed.
Oda's tomb is on the top of the mountain, and the direction of the footprints is also there, so you can't be mistaken.
However, it is said that it is a dirt road, covered with grass, and you can only see the weeds that have been trampled, and you can't estimate the size of people's feet, let alone calculate the approximate height and weight of the other party.
He was still a little curious, how could there be anyone in this world who would come to visit Oda Sakunosuke besides him and Mr. Ango?
And...... How did the other party know about this tomb?
Worried that Oda Sakunosuke's enemies would come to sabotage, there was no information related to him left on the tombstone.
When he thought about it like this, the corners of Dazai's mouth were raised all the time, and he looked like he was smiling, but his iris-colored pupils only had a deep depth that made people dare not think deeply.
It was silent, like a lamp and candle that had just been extinguished, leaving an inexhaustible afterglow.
Dazai hadn't been here much, but it was definitely not a few, and he familiarly bypassed the stranger's footprints and arrived at the tombstone, and sure enough, he saw three incense sticks that had been burned out.
Unfortunately, this is a very ordinary incense, which can be bought everywhere in the market, and it is impossible to find out which store the incense comes from. And the person who came was very careful, he should have been wearing gloves and did not leave fingerprints on them.
…… Hawkers, although it is useless to leave fingerprints, such a fine incense, pinched can be used for less than a whole fingerprint.
Dazai took a closer look, and apart from the traces of someone sitting under the tree, there was nothing extra, and naturally there was nothing missing.
- It looks like he's just here to sweep the grave.
Dazai thought it strange because this conclusion was too counterintuitive. At least against the common sense of his circle.
But no matter what, people have to find out. It's about Sakunosuke Oda, no matter how difficult it is, to dig that person out of the sky......
The ringing of the cell phone became extremely harsh in the cemetery at night, and Dazai looked at the pocket containing the phone and pouted.
This ringtone is specially designed for a certain person, and it sounds exactly the same as the usual ringtone at first glance, but the melody will have a slight difference that can be discerned without paying close attention.
He answered the phone, thinking to himself that Mr. Ango was so well-informed that he thought it was premeditated.
But after listening to what the other party said, the whole person seemed to have been drained of all his essence, and stood in place.
After a long time, he said, "Are you sure?" ”
Ango, who was on the other end of the phone, said in a straight tone: [It's because I can't be sure that this call came. Amamiya Qianye, a stranger who just returned from England this morning, grew up in England since he was a child, and his English name is Zein. In the West, high society is codenamed the Herald of Hell in the name of 'connecting life and death cause and effect'. However, his reputation is polarized, with some believing him and others believing him to be a high-level liar who is a trickster. 】
Because Amamiya Qianye has always used the English name Zeyin before, it seems that his real name is not famous.
Ango: [He claims that his ability is to summon the undead of Hell, whether it's true or not...... Please. 】
Dazai's voice was slight, but the words were clear: "I know you used your abilities, so aren't you sure?" ”
Ango didn't speak, and Dazai didn't force him. "Then there is no way to do it, give me a list of the guests and police who were present at the time and signed all the confidentiality agreements." ”
Ango: [...... Then you have to make sure that you don't hurt them. 】
Dazai laughed, "Just asking a few words, because I don't have such a convenient ability like Mr. Ango." However, Mr. Ango, who was able to see the remnants of the item, told me that he couldn't be sure ...... yet."
Ango was speechless.
Dazai: "Don't worry, I won't do anything superfluous. ”
At least he won't do anything superfluous until he finds out that what Amamiya Chiya summoned was the real Oda Saku, or just someone who fooled Odasaku's image.
Dazai remembered Rando. The French Transcendent, whose real name is Arthur Rimbaud, once spent some time in the port mafia due to amnesia, and was later killed by him and Nakahara Nakaya.
But...... That Mr. Lantang must have released the water.
There is no need to dwell on this, the point is that Mr. Lantang's strange ability is to read other people's corpses for his own use.
The corpse summoned after being read has the ability and memory of life, but to put it bluntly, it is just a clever copy.
That Amamiya Qianye's strange ability...... Is that the case? The difference is that he doesn't need to read a corpse to do it......
Speaking of which......
Dazai blinked, frowned and thought deeply: "Amamiya Qianye...... Qianye ...... Couldn't it be the same person Mr. Kunikita met before? ”
If so, isn't the world a little too small?
It's so small that he has to have conspiracy theories.
