How famous his own book is, Oda Sakunosuke has no idea.

He neither likes to browse social platforms, nor does he intend to read readers' reactions.Knowing that someone likes it is the greatest compliment to him.

Shortly after being congratulated by Akashi and Hongyi, Akashi asked him if he had any plans for the future?

He (pen name Odasaku) was in the same period as Yokomizo Masashi (pen name Kanedaichi), also won the Naoki Award, and was also well received by readers.Different from the warm-hearted Sakunosuke Oda, he is a complete mystery novelist of the original style. The intricate reasoning and crime methods in the book are beyond imagination, and he directly grasps the coolness of crime mystery fans, and is widely acclaimed.Before the sale, his works have been determined to be filmed, which is truly a million dollars for a writer.

"I heard that the author of the same period as you, Kanedaichi, has already planned to continue writing a series of articles with the protagonist of his Naoki Prize work "Honjin Murder Case"..." Akashi began to slowly hint whether Oda Sakunosuke should start writing the second book up.

"I heard about it."

Sakunosuke Oda had exchanged phone numbers with him before, Masashi Yokomizo was not defensive against him, and told Sakunosuke Oda a lot of his sudden inspiration, and asked for Oda's opinion.Oda gave him a lot of advice from the perspective of a professional corpse picker, so that Henggou thought whether he was working in a funeral home or a forensic doctor.

"He is really powerful, and he always bursts out all kinds of very powerful inspirations. When I went on a trip a few days ago, I wanted to write a story about the island. Didn't the prisoners be exiled to the desert island before? ? He wants to write a reasoning story on such an island, and the title is tentatively set as "Prison Gate Island."

Oda Sakunosuke thought he was really good.

"..."

Is this the time to praise others?

Akashi couldn't laugh or cry.

"What about you? What do you want to write?"

"I still have no idea for the time being. Sure enough, I used too much force in May. I have no idea at all now, and I am very busy recently."

Compared with his previous attitude, Oda is much more serious and diligent about the work of Hong Kong and black.

When Akashi heard this, his tone was a little weird, and he asked back: "You don't want to take advantage of such a good opportunity to get rid of Hong Kong gangsters? Didn't you start writing novels to wash your hands one day? Why doesn't it look like it? Do you look like you're leaving?"

Among all people, Akashi is the one who understands Oda Sakunosuke's thoughts best, and can also be said to be the person who knows Oda Sakunosuke's past the most.

"Are you worried about Zhongye? If you are afraid of leaving him alone, take Zhongye away with you."

Akashi also heard that Nakahara has received many important tasks recently, and it has reached the point where he can no longer play the pony boy. Their leader even directly asked Nakahara to cooperate with Oda's boss Dazai.Fortunately, Oda's nerves were thick enough, and he didn't notice that the cooperation between Nakahara and Dazai was not a subordinate cooperation, but a cooperative relationship on an equal level.

"I haven't fully figured it out yet. It's much more difficult than I imagined to wash my hands in the golden basin. Moreover, Hong Kong black people's revenge on people is very serious. The lives of Zhongya and Guizhi are also very stable..."

Akashi called out Oda's name, his voice was slightly cold.

Because Oda was hiding something, started making excuses to him.

"Before you did it, why did you set so many thresholds for yourself? Weikang escaped, and you can do it too. No one in Hong Kong and black knows that you are writing novels, and you can live by writing novels. You just change your identity. Living in Kyoto, or anywhere in Japan, except Yokohama, can continue to live."

"It's not because you're a mafia that I feel that I can't continue to keep in touch with you, so I always hope that you can be a novelist. You should understand that I don't care who you are. I just always remember that you want to be a novelist, The desire to leave Hong Kong and black and live an ordinary life.”

"Oda." Akashi knew that his words were a little aggressive and aggressive, so he adjusted his breath and said again, "Tell me, what are you thinking? If you think you want to continue to be a member of Hong Kong gangsters, I will stop saying these disappointing words; If you want to leave but have doubts, I want to know what is blocking your thinking."

"Oda, please know that you are not Oda alone, you are Oda for all of us. You are not alone, you are still with us."

After a long confession by Akashi, Oda Sakunosuke said slowly: "... Today I met my benefactor who helped me when I was in prison. He and I once again proposed to be their investigator. He said , he was willing to help me find a way. But I still refused, I don’t think I am qualified to be such a positive person and help others.”

"I also began to think that many things have nothing to do with right or wrong, and many people don't need to be clear about good or bad. The reason why they are hostile is just different positions and different ideas. If I jump out of this position, then I can face it frankly. Anyone. So I can no longer jump into places with strong moral overtones.”

"However, if I used to say that joining Hong Kong and Heilongjiang was to make a living, now, I want to do one thing first. After I solve it, I will immediately wash my hands and leave Hong Kong and Heilongjiang."

Hearing Oda's tone of swearing, Akashi felt helpless and said, "This is not to force you to make an oath. As long as you are safe, what else can I ask for." Because of the special nature of Oda's work, this kind of ordinary people Life and death, which would not be mentioned, have instead become a daily topic.

"After saying it, I feel that I have a clearer idea of ​​what I want to do. Thank you all the time. Without you, I would never be where I am today. So if you have anything to say, whether you criticize or reprimand, I believe that It's all good for me."

Akashi sighed: "You are an idiot for saying such things, I hope you are selfish." Akashi can probably imagine what Oda is going to do. "I don't think the other party will appreciate you."

Oda Sakunosuke was taken aback.

"It's related to Osamu Dazai, isn't it? He's the one you mentioned a lot. If you leave Hong Kong and Hei, there are only two ways for Chuya to go. One is to accompany you to leave, and the other is to stay and clean up the mess for you. You can't ask Chuya to do the latter, unless Chuya doesn't want to go with you from the beginning. After that, you will probably recommend Chuya to your benefactor. You have already thought about his future."

"So, the only thing you are worried about is Osamu Dazai, isn't it? You are thinking, what will happen to that boy if he leaves? You have a sense of responsibility for him, and you think that at least he can get something, so you will leave with confidence Oda, you are the kind of person who will think about buying a food for him when you pass by a begging child, and then leave."

"Including, Fyodor, you didn't think he was a kind-hearted person from the beginning, didn't you bring him back because you saw him suffering?"

Akashi knows everything, and the reason why he doesn't say anything is because he knows it's useless to say it, and he can't change Oda's thoughts and actions.But why he said it now, it's because he wanted to say it a long time ago, he wanted to say it too much.

"Oda, what is the most excessive thing for you? You will feel that after the other party has obtained a certain degree of psychological or environmental safety, you can retreat from their life stage. But you never thought that at this time, They can't do without you."

Including me, including Jiao Dong, including Zhongyuan Zhongya.

The reason why we try our best to hide our identities is because we are afraid that you will withdraw and leave if you think your merits and virtues are complete.

Oda, you are really not your own Oda.

You are not alone either.

We want to be a part of your life.

……

Feeling the resentment in Akashi's tone, Oda couldn't find any words to comfort him, so he said, "I'm sorry."

"……It's ok."

Akashi half covered his face, what happened to him.

"What was our topic just now? Yes, we were talking about books just now."

"Actually, I thought about writing a fairy tale before, but Natsume told me not to tell it." On the night of going to Kyoto, Oda thought of a story impromptu, and he has been brooding about it ever since.I also thought about it when I was writing the book in May, but Akashi gave him too many books on reasoning, and it felt bad to refute his idea.

Akashi saw that what he said just now was overturned, on the one hand he felt a lot more relaxed, he didn't want Oda to think too much, after all Oda's intuition is very strong, if he sensed something was wrong, it would be too miserable.On the other hand, I am also interested in Oda's story.

"Although the span from reasoning themes to children's literature is relatively large, you can talk about it."

After Oda finished speaking his thoughts, Akashi firmly denied his thoughts for the first time.

"Don't write this."

"..." Oda was hit hard again, "I even thought about the topic."

"Really don't write it." If Akashi had been in front of him, he would have shaken his shoulders and shook the outline out of his head.

"Ok."

Akashi coughed lightly, calmed down his emotions and said, "You are also tired recently, work hard, and stop writing for the time being."

"That Akashi, I actually secretly wrote [-] characters, why don't you read it..."

"It's so late now, I have to do my homework, Oda, say good night in advance."

"……Good night."

Learning to refuel...

Oda who was hung up on the phone suddenly felt that the evening breeze outside the apartment was very cool.When he was about to go back to the house, Oda's cell phone rang again suddenly.

"Excuse me, is this Oda-san?"

The voice was urgent, and he introduced himself immediately without waiting for Oda's response.

"I am the dean of the Tsurumi Orphanage. When I checked the room at night, I found that Atsushi Nakajima was missing. I didn't see it anywhere in the orphanage. The barbed wire on the wall of the back door was also pried open. In his room, I saw Seeing that the letter you sent him was also taken away, I think it is very likely that he ran to see you."

"I understand, I'm going to find someone now." Oda just agreed.

The dean continued hesitantly: "...he is very dangerous."

"I know that it would be very dangerous for an 11-year-old child to come to Yokohama, an unfamiliar place, alone." Oda knew the danger here, and without stopping for a moment, he went into the house to get his coat.

The dean knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly said: "No, his ability is very dangerous. He can't control the ability by himself."

"What do you mean?"

Oda's hurried gesture caught the attention of the three people watching TV in the room. Fei Jia had already stood up and wanted to go out with him, and Nakahara and Natsume followed to the door.Oda pressed Fei Jia's shoulder, shook his head, and signaled them to stay at home.

"A child is missing, I'll look for it, you stay here."

The dean said that Atsushi Nakajima has not been aware of his abilities since he was a child, and he has no ability to control them. It used to be infrequent, but now it appears more and more frequently, almost every other week.So, he started to stop Atsushi Nakajima from going to school, and he hasn't gone to school for a month.Someone probably told him that the dean gave opportunities to smarter children, and he couldn't stand it and ran away.

What the dean said was vague, and what must have happened was more serious than imagined.

"That kid Nakajima admires you very much. If he ran away from the orphanage, he would definitely look for you. If necessary, it would be better to bring the police along."

The mafia called the police...

"I know how to deal with it. It's okay. If I find someone, I will contact you immediately."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Oda Sakunosuke did not tell Atsushi Nakajima his name, and the address to which the letter was sent was also the fixed mailbox address service provided by the post office.Letters from Atsushi Nakajima will also be placed in that mailbox.Counting from the time of disappearance, Nakajima Atsushi should have almost arrived in Yokohama City and started looking for the address.

But it was impossible for him to wait near that mailbox all the time. What if Atsushi Nakajima had an accident on the way?

So he picked up his phone and made another call.

"I'm not a GPS, why do you always call me when you're looking for someone?"

Edogawa complained after taking two steps, but he got all the gifts that should be received, including a large bag of snack bags and Yusaku Kudo's signature board.It's just that this signature board was said to be for him, so it can't be used as a reward gift in the process of helping find someone this time, and new things are needed.

While helping to carry the snack bag, Oda grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's wrist and walked all the way forward: "If you find someone, I will find a way for you to get the signature of the author of Kindaichi you want."

Ranpo Edogawa's preference for this Naoki Award is the original work "Honjin Murder Incident", and he doesn't particularly like the other work "Rain".But when Oda came to pick him up, he still asked him to ask for an autograph first.

Oda didn't find it too strange that Edogawa Ranpo guessed that he was Oda Saku himself.

"Oda, it's so old-fashioned that people's hearts are more sinister than monsters. If you want to write a mystery novel, you have to look like a mystery novel, you know?"

"Okay, okay."

Coax it first.

Oda thought to himself.

"By the way, did you find that person last time?" Edogawa Ranpo suddenly remembered the person from a long time ago, "...the one called Ango Sakaguchi."

"found it."

At that time, when Osamu Dazai saw the map that Edogawa Ranpo checked, he used his mobile phone to mobilize Hong Kong gangsters to round up.Soon after they left the coffee shop, Osamu Dazai received a call that he had been successfully arrested.Therefore, Oda has not seen that person until now.

It is said that he is a 19-year-old young man with a handsome appearance, wearing round-frame glasses, and a gentle manner.

Osamu Dazai met the other party when he went to the chief's office. Sakaguchi's words were quite sharp, but it was obvious that he was afraid of the unpredictable Mori chief, and his behavior and reaction would be cautious. Worked as an accountant in a money laundering company.

I knew I would be able to find people out!

Edogawa raised his eyebrows randomly, his face was full of triumphant "Look, I'm really good".

With Edogawa Ranpo, finding Atsushi Nakajima this time was much easier than expected.

When he found it, he was shivering in a corner with a small backpack in his arms, his whole body in a mess, as if he had been attacked.Edogawa Ranpo was looking for people in reverse based on the screams of others. It must be Atsushi Nakajima who couldn't control the ability, which not only scared the passers-by, but also scared himself.

"Do you need help?"

Oda Sakunosuke squatted down, and said gently to Atsushi Nakajima, who was huddled in the corner and kept begging for mercy, "Don't eat me, tigers don't eat me".

Atsushi Nakajima was taken aback by Oda wearing a paper bag, and next to him was a young man with his hands behind his back, shaking his head, who seemed to be looking out for the wind.Atsushi Nakajima subconsciously thought that this might be the criminal gang that abducted and trafficked children mentioned in the book, and his heart shrank with fright.

However, the next second, the young man called out his name.

The look of fear in Atsushi Nakajima's big eyes stopped suddenly, he looked at Oda fixedly, and asked nervously, "How do you know who I am?"

"Guess what?"

Oda took out a letter from Nakajima Atsushi.

The little Atsushi Nakajima looked back and forth several times uncertainly, and couldn't help but put a surprised smile on his face.

"... Mr. Oda?"

"Yes."

In this response, Atsushi Nakajima seemed to shatter all the sour, wronged, sad, and happy feelings in his heart.The fear, worry, and fear that had been suppressed along the way, now seemed to burst, and could not be stopped at all. Atsushi Nakajima raised his head and began to cry.

"Mr. Oda, Mr. Oda, that's great! I finally saw you wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! I finally saw you, I really wanted to see you all this time."

It was the first time for Oda to meet a child who had such a strong reaction. He was fine, but why did he suddenly start crying.Oda was in a hurry, patting him on the back, and at the same time took a piece of chocolate from Edogawa Ranbu's snack bag, tore it open, and coaxed Atsushi Nakajima.

Edogawa Ranpo was so blatantly robbed of his snacks that his eyes widened with anger.

That's mine!

Oda is too, too much!

Be careful, I will cry for you too!
