My Bungo system is a little different

Money doesn't help much in such a small town.

——Atsushi Nakajima originally thought so.

Most of the original townspeople left, and those who came later all had similar purposes and were not interested in making money.At the same time, the town and the outside world are in a semi-blocked state. It is not easy for people to come, and the flow of materials is strictly controlled by certain departments.

No matter how many rubles there are, there is nothing to buy!

However, the family of three they met on the street proved that this idea of ​​Dun's was nothing more than a poor man's lack of imagination.

Both the couple and the daughter look unquestionably top-quality - and that's just the surface.

The most important thing is what the blond man said to his wife as he walked: "Zelda, I think the houses here are too simple and the food is not to your taste. I'd better talk to them about building an airport here. .”

He speaks English.Dun even thought he heard it wrong, after all, he only started learning English in school a year ago.

The lady who was wrapped in fur that was so expensive at first glance replied: "Francis, how long will it take? Can't you just buy this place and renovate it?"

Apparently, the lady named 'Zelda' lacks common knowledge about the rules of the underworld.

This small town is now closed to ordinary people, so naturally there are many things that cannot be accomplished.

Compared with Mrs. Zelda's naive and self-willed answer, her husband's talk of building an airport nearby seems a little more realistic.

Don thought so.As a result, the words of 'Francis' broke his cognition again in the next second.

"My dear, as long as it is what you wish, I will do it for you. For you and Scott." The blond man said affectionately.

He actually agreed.

Perhaps it was the shock that Dun couldn't hide on his face that the daughter of the family of three closest to him saw, and the other party actually walked towards him.

"Can you hear mommy and daddy at such a distance?" the blond girl said to him.

Dun is indeed able to hear because of the hearing of 'Tiger', but he is more or less interested in this outrageous dialogue to keep his hearing.

It's really embarrassing to be caught by the parties.Dun showed a flustered look.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to eavesdrop, no..." Atsushi hurriedly winked at Tanizaki Junichiro who was traveling with him, trying to get him to help out.

Unexpectedly, the orange-haired companion looked completely powerless——

Ah, Tanizaki couldn't hear the conversation over there.

Before Dun decided to bow 90° to apologize, the blond girl burst out laughing.

"There's nothing to apologize for, the two of them are indeed too exaggerated." There was a kind of tactful brilliance in her brows and eyes, "Are you here to investigate?"

She asked directly.

Tanizaki could hear those words.He still has much more experience as a detective than Dun.

"We heard that the dead come here." Tanizaki said, "But we didn't expect the rumors to be true before we came here."

His words can be interpreted as summoning the ghost, or as investigating the cause.

The girl looked at him for a few seconds, then turned around and called out to her father who was walking behind, "Daddy, can you come here?"

The blond man said a few more small words to his wife, and walked over to the three young men with long legs.

"What's the matter, Scott, are they rude to you?" He said with a slight frown, because the height of 1.9 meters seemed very oppressive.

The expression on Scott's face looked very strange. She glanced at her mother not far away, then lowered her head again.

"Dad, how did you explain this to Mom?" she asked.

The atmosphere was suddenly colder than the surrounding ice and snow, and Atsushi and Tanizaki who stood beside felt that they had appeared in a very inappropriate place.

Scott didn't wait for an answer, so she looked up at her father and said softly, "She still doesn't know I'm dead, does she?"

Francis wrapped his daughter in his arms with both hands, and warned the two teenagers standing in front of him with his eyes.

"It's okay, the worst is over, Scott. Now that you are back with us, there is no problem that cannot be solved." His tone was so gentle that water dripped out.

Scott, obviously, is also a ghost that can only exist in this small town.

Francis patted his daughter on the back and asked her to stand with her mother, while he stayed behind temporarily, staring at Atsushi and Tanizaki with an unkind expression.

"You two are from Yokohama." He said surprisingly.

Atsushi and Tanizaki's posture changed instantly because of this sentence - from relaxed to tense.

The two of them look obviously Asian. It is not easy to tell that they are Japanese when they hear their words. Just narrow the scope to Yokohama?

Francis didn't do anything because of Atsushi and Tanizaki's vigilance, but just focused on Atsushi and took a few more glances.

"You are here. It's really suspicious." He seemed to have thought of something, "Did you come because of a commission..."

After saying a few words inexplicably, Francis walked back to meet his wife and daughter.

However, the deep look in his eyes before he left was firmly in Dun's mind.

-------------------------------------

"Did the other party directly recognize you as members of the detective agency?"

Sitting on the sofa with Yosano, he raised his eyebrows at the news Atsushi and Tanizaki brought.

"It may be a former client of the detective agency." She said very calmly, "Of course, it is also very possible that it is an enemy."

Yosano, who knows well that conflicts and violence will not easily occur in this small town, finds the reaction of the two inexperienced minors very interesting.

"The three people's names are 'Francis', 'Zelda' and 'Scott', right?" asked Dazai who came back at some point.

"It should be." Dun confirmed after hearing the previous conversation.

Hearing this, Dazai showed a smile that made Atsushi shiver - every time he saw it, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky.

"Dun-kun, I happen to know why the other party knows that you are from the detective agency!" Dazai said, "The man named 'Francis' is the current leader of the American supernatural organization 'Group'. Land and several other organizations jointly offered a reward to you, do you want to guess how much the reward is?"

"Eh!?"

"70 million, US dollars."

"Eh!!!???"

Seeing Atsushi's frightened expression, Dazai laughed very unceremoniously.In fact, even Tanizaki and Yosano were surprised by the news.

"Wait, Mr. Dazai, you said you used to mean that the reward has been cancelled." It took a while for Atsushi to react.

"Yeah. It was almost two weeks ago. Because it took too long to hang it up and then take it down, there were a lot of people waiting and watching. After going back this time, Dun-kun will probably encounter a lot of temptations." Dazai seemed to be optimistic. play look.

Unexpectedly, he came to investigate and found out bad news about himself. Dun suddenly became depressed, but he still hadn't forgotten the business.

"So, does this news have anything to do with our investigation?" he asked.

"Well, maybe there is."

This kind of answer shows that Osamu Dazai probably knows the connection, but he can't share it with them, at least not now.

Yosano looked at the three men who didn't know what they were doing, and sighed inwardly.

"I searched the whole house." She started to get to the point. "I found some clues."

Tsvetaeva's small cream-coloured mansion is clearly the only one living in it.

On the second floor, there are a large number of books in various languages, and there are written manuscripts on the table.But the ink bottle was knocked over and the marks looked like they had been dry for a while.

"There wasn't any lock that matched the key. It seems that what she said was true. Also, I couldn't find the letter Rilke wrote to her. There is an unfinished oil painting on the second floor that looks like It's him." Yu Xie Ye said, "And this building has no electricity at all."

Hearing this, the two young men could not help but shudder.

Dazai looked as expected, he said: "It seems that there is no need for ghosts to exist alone."

But the ghosts they saw, except for Tsvetayeva, seemed to be alive like ordinary people-many ghosts in restaurants and bars.

"Dazai, what did you find?" Yosano asked.

Osamu Dazai is undoubtedly the one who has the most information among the four of them and is also the one who is the best at investigating. The only problem is how much he is willing to say.

"I tried to find traces of Rilke. But I couldn't find any."

The amount of information in this sentence is actually very large, and it is very difficult for Osamu Dazai to find traces.

"Then I went to see if there were any familiar faces among the people here, and it turned out that there were." Dazai's expression somehow turned into a kind of childish boredom, "He had met Tsvetaeva twice before. .”

-------------------------------------

After the communication with Mori, Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't help guessing who the other party said would be the right candidate.

He will not be able to come up with a more likely answer for a while.

However, the conversation with Sen made him rediscover the feeling of being watched that he had been trying to put behind his head.

Isn't it obvious who is watching?Why else would he answer this when Sen asked about Tsvetaeva?

Want to see her again?

Zhong Yuan's intuition swayed.

This is rare.Don't go to see her and go to see her seems to point to a possibility, the difference is still very big.

No danger.only--

He still has to leave here.

What Mori Ogai said "don't be in a hurry to come back" did not interfere with Nakahara Chuya's thoughts on this point.

He himself didn't feel anxious.

What kind of emotion did Tsvetaeva look at him?

Thinking about this question, Zhong Yuan's heart gradually turned to the side that went to see her.

Only go alone, some kind of subconscious said so.

So he just told his companions bluntly that he was going to visit a female ghost, but because it was too late, he also received a joke.

The sun has set for a long time, the sky is completely dark, and the temperature has dropped to a lower level than during the day.

In this way, Nakahara Chuya, who walked to the turn of the ring road, stared at the only bright spot in the whole small building for a while - the small light at the door, and knocked on the door of Tsvetaeva's house.
