Ms. Quan, who is male

"Hmm? There are quite a few photos." Quan sat on the sofa in the living room, cushioning his handkerchief to look through the other person's cell phone.

The recent photos of Quan in the album - even the photos of him arranging flowers this morning. Going forward, other strange faces appeared. There are both men and women among these people, and they all look quite young, not twenty years old.

It looks like it has arrived.

Quan thought for a moment, then looked through the emails on his mobile phone. Then he found that these photos were taken by a guy who was noted as "detective in the city" by a young man and sent to him.

"Detective?" Quan looked at the young man who was shining his shoes thoughtfully.

When it comes to detectives, the first thing he thought of was the armed detective agency. When thinking of the armed detective agency, Izumi remembered what Kunikida Dubu told him just now when he was at the entrance of the community: The recent serial murder case has been reported to him.

The victims found were between seventeen and twenty years old, and both men and women had... The corpse had one thing in common, and lost a finger...

"Young man and woman, and still have hands..."

Quan checked the photos in the album again, but did not find anything special to take pictures inside.

At this time, Quan's shoes were wiped clean by the young man kneeling on the floor.

Quan, who came back to his senses, took the time to look at him. The other party's eyes were dull, his face had no expression, and he was as rigid as a robot that could only accept program instructions.

Quan raised his feet and lifted his chin, forcing him to look up at himself, asking, "Who is the detective in the city? How much information do you know about the other party?"

"He is a private detective I know on the Internet. I don't know much about him, I only know that he is a guy who can do anything if he gives money..."

"These photos were what you asked him to take secretly? What's the purpose?"

“Yes. Purpose…”

On the other side.

After Kikukida ran into the community alone, he saw several elderly people sitting on benches chatting on the roadside bench. He walked over quickly, and asked questions in a gesture.

"Yes, probably so tall...black hair...well, yes, yes..."

The old men looked at each other and said they didn't pay much attention.

"So... may I ask," Kunikida pushed his glasses alone and changed his question, "Where is the tallest tree in the community?"

"Ah!" The few old men pointed out the direction for him without hesitation. "Just behind Building B, you can see it at a glance."

Kunikida thanked him alone and rushed to the unit building B in a hurry.

When he arrived at the building B, he went around as several old men said. Then, he saw a tall and lush banyan tree and... his partner, Dazai Osamu, who was hanging on the branches.

"Dazai, you bastard--!" Kunokida walked over with all his strength, as if he was about to stomp through the ground.

"I shouldn't believe you any nonsense about investigating and meeting at the entrance of the community after saving time!"

Kunikida roared angrily, writing the three words "folding knife" on the blank page of the hand account, and tearing it off with a "swish". The extraordinary ability was activated, and a folding knife appeared in his hand instantly.

Then he threw the knife out without hesitation, cut the air "swoosh" and cut off the rope hanging on the Dazai Osamu, and finally "suddenly" it on the trunk of the banyan tree behind him.

As soon as the rope was broken, Dazai Osamu fell from mid-air, and with a "thump", he raised a large area of ​​dust. However, his feet were not too high from the ground, so he did not have any major problems.

"It's true, I'm going to waste a precious piece of my account for a guy like you! In addition, do you know how much time you have delayed me?!" Kunokida glanced at his watch alone, hugged his hands in front of his chest, very

He stamped his feet impatiently, "You are trouble making machine!"

Dazai, who had his eyes closed, maintained the position he had just fallen, motionless, and even his chest was invisible.

Kunikida waited alone for a while, but Dazai Osamu still didn't respond.

"You bastard--" Two blue veins popped out from Kunokida's forehead, and he grabbed Dazai Osamu from the ground, pinched his neck and swayed hard, "I'll block your mouth if I pretend to die again.

After you tie your hands and feet, you will hang it on the street lights in the park at the foot of the mountain! Let you blow the sea breeze for a night!!!”

Dazai Osamu then woke up slowly.

When he opened his eyes and saw the angry Fukida Dubu, he looked around in surprise and said, "Oh, is this the second day already? He fell asleep inadvertently..."

After saying that, he yawned and two physiological tears spilled out of the corners of his eyes.

"Bang!"

Kunikida heard the sound of a broken nerve called "State".

Seeing that his partner's fist was about to fall, Dazai Osamu suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, I seemed to see Sister Koizumi just now? Carrying a delivery box... Well, the child kept looking at the paper with his head down.

I couldn't see his face clearly, either..."

After being interrupted, the anger in Kurokida Dubu's chest was not as strong as before.

He let go of Dazai Osamu in anger, pushed down his glasses, and said, "Ah, that should be right, that kid is working in a coffee shop now."

"Oh, of course I know about this." Dazai Osamu said naturally, "I went to the coffee shop where he worked yesterday to have coffee."

"Ha?" Kunikida's expression was a little weird, "You didn't cause trouble for others, right? For example, on credit or something..."

"Ah hahaha, of course not! I just told the store manager that the cup of coffee was invited by Koizumi, and asked him to deduct his salary directly..."

There was a crisp "bang".

Kunikida gave Dazai Osamu a thunderous stern.

"Don't cause trouble for that child!"

Dazai Osamu covered the back of his head and muttered, "Just kid, Kunikida is still as easy as ever..."

There was another "bang" sound.

"I don't have time to delay here!" Kunokida's expression became very serious. "What if a new victim appears at this time? And, what is the reason why you guess the prisoner is in this community?"

This starts with Dazai Osamu witnessing someone delivering flowers to Izumi in a cafe yesterday.

Originally, he was just watching the excitement, but inadvertently heard the gossip of the guests behind him. It was said that in recent times, Quan had received roses every day, but those roses were sent by the owner of the flower shop next door.

The other party also claimed that she didn't know who gave it to her.

After hearing this, Dazai Osamu thought for a moment, after leaving the cafe, he turned around and went to the flower shop next door.

This man is accustomed to being sweet-mouthed, which makes the boss smile. Therefore, Dazai Osamu found out the news he wanted without any effort. The boss even showed him the notes sent to him every day to send flowers.

"What do you think of when you talk about ring finger?" Dazai Osamu asked Kunikida Dubu while waiting with him in front of the elevator door of the unit building B.

Kunokida glanced at his ring finger alone and said in a serious tone: "The finger between the middle finger and the tail finger?"

"..." Dazai Osamu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to cover his forehead, looked at him with a subtle expression, and sighed from time to time, which made Kurokida jump straight into his temples.

"It's a wedding ring, a wedding ring." Before his partner got angry, Dazai Osamu gave the answer, "The man wears it on his left hand and the woman wears it on his right hand. The victim's cut off all fingers used to wear wedding rings.

”

Kunikida frowned and said, "I know this kind of thing without you saying it, but what does it have to do with your guessing that the prisoner is in this community..."

"Listen to me." Dazai Jiru comforted him, "Cutting off the finger will not be fatal. It is obvious that the murderer is 'punishing' them for some purpose - punishing them to show warning. So what exactly is the murderer for for the sake of

And what are you warning them about punishing them?"

"Without ring finger, it means that they can no longer wear wedding rings. So, can the murderer do this be extended to mean that the other party thinks they are 'can't get married' or 'the marriage relationship breaks down'? The victim currently found

, the age is between the ages of seventeen and twenty. At this age, there is no marriage, but it is indeed very rare. So I prefer the former guess, the murderer judges that they are 'can't get married'... You see

Can you understand this way?”

"..." Kunikida fell into deep thought, "But, this is just your speculation about the murderer's criminal psychology, just this..."

Dazai Osamu ignored him and tilted a finger and interrupted him quickly: "I just mentioned the ring finger and wedding ring, so the next question!"

A vein broke out from Kukida Dubu's forehead. However, he grinded his teeth and endured it: "Say!"

“What do you think of when it comes to roses?”

Having just discussed the issues related to marriage and wedding rings, Kunokida frowned and said subconsciously: "Confession?"

"bingo~" Dazai Osamu's tone was light and added, "Why try to think further, such as...proposal?"

Hearing this, a relatively vague thought gradually emerged in Kurokida Dubu's mind. He felt that as long as he could clear the fog in front of him, he could grasp the truth.

"Of course, confession and proposal may not necessarily be successful. If the proposal fails, it will naturally lead to an ending of "unable to get married."

"!" That's it!

Kunikida's eyes widened.

"Oh by the way, by the way. Recently, Sister Koizumi seems to have always received roses from strangers. And the mailing address filled in by the stranger is this community."

"Can he say... his next target is that little devil?" Kunikida Dubu turned his head suddenly at him.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived in front of them.

Dazai Osamu walked in lightly, pressed the button on the 11th floor without thinking, and said in a relaxed tone: "Yes. Sister Koizumi has been troubled by this mysterious flower sender recently, so she asked me to help find this

A strange guy is coming."

Then, he spread his hands and said complaining: "But that child is too stingy. The reward for entrusting is just a cup of coffee. But because he offered to help us, I naturally agreed~"

"..." Kunikida Dubu was speechless.

The elevator arrives at the eleventh floor.

Dazai Osamu pushed away his hair that was blocking his ears, took off his Bluetooth headset, and walked to the door of a certain room with great strides. He took out a hairpin from his pocket, squatted down and skillfully opened the lock.

With a "click", the door lock was successfully opened by him.

After the door was opened, the two of them saw the spring lying in the entrance hall at a glance. At the same time, they also heard footsteps coming from the inside, which were getting farther and farther away from them.

Dazai Osamu was shocked: "No! He is going to run away from the balcony of the bedroom! Izumi will leave it to me, and Kunikida-kun will hurry up and catch him!"

Kunikida no doubted that he was there, and rushed to catch people without saying a word.

When his figure disappeared from sight, Dazai Osamu then squatted down, poked Izumi's face gently, and muttered, "Sister Koizumi is not very interesting... Use that Sharingan to obtain information, I

You can't hear it from the eavesdropper."

Izumi opened her eyes slowly and said with a smile: "Where is free lunch in the world, Mr. Dazai?"
