Ms. Quan, who is male

After this, the image failed to capture any more content.

Because the photographer's lens chased the gangster who was shot away, and when he turned back, Quan's figure was no longer at the intersection.

The light baffles in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows were closed one by one, and bright sunlight poured into the room, driving away the darkness in the room and making the whole room bright again.

But Zhongyuan Zhongya felt that his eyes were still dark. The thoughts in his mind were knotted, like a tangled mess, and even if he tried to sort them out, he couldn't find the thread.

The sentence that echoed most in my mind was: That guy lied to me again.

Zhongyuan Zhong also found it a bit funny.

That night in the bar room, he had warned Quan that if he dared to lie to him, he would look good on him. But how many times had this little bastard lied to him? Every time, he survived from his own hands.

The reasons for the first two times seemed to be the last resort of the other party. Although Zhongyuan Zhongya was angry, he was not angry enough to attack him. He just felt that there was nothing he could do.

It is said that only three things come true, but what about this time? What kind of reasons will the other party come up with to convince him?

But as he thought about it, he suddenly felt that the matter couldn't be settled in this way. Because it was originally designed by their leader in private to test whether Quan had supernatural powers. To be precise, Quan never mentioned it to him at all.

Is there such a thing as supernatural powers?

Ahhhh, so annoying!

Zhongyuan Zhongya was so irritated that he wanted to scratch his head and hit the wall.

"Ahem." Mori Ogai coughed and cleared his throat, which also brought Nakahara Chuuya back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, leader." Zhongyuan Zhongya bowed to him and said expressionlessly, "So, what is your order?"

Kill the little bastard who tricked them all into doing this?

Or...catch him and throw him into a torture class?

According to the past thinking of dealing with people who offend Hong Kong gangsters, Zhongyuan Zhongya also imagined how to deal with Quan next. Well... it won't end well.

"Since Chuuya-kun is so impatient..." Mori Ogai touched his chin, a sharp edge flashed in his eyes, "Then it's decided!"

…

When he came out of the chief's office, Nakahara Chuuya happened to meet Ozaki Momiji face to face.

"Sister." Zhongyuan Zhongya greeted her as usual.

"What's wrong? You look listless. Were you drunk last night?"

Slouching?

Zhongyuan Zhongya was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "No, I was just thinking about issues related to the new mission."

"Huh? Really?" Ozaki Momiji glanced at him, did not ask any more questions, and gently dropped the topic.

After returning to his cadre's office, Zhongyuan Zhongye ordered his subordinates to investigate Quan's current situation.

Although the subordinates were a little surprised, it did not affect their work efficiency, and they quickly sent the investigation results to Zhongyuan Zhongya.

Investigation results showed that after Mizuno Chotaro moved into a private nursing home arranged by Nakahara Chuuya, Izumi moved out of the basement where he originally lived and rented a small house outside.

After getting Quan's work address, Nakahara Chuya took a look at his sports car, which was particularly eye-catching and familiar to Quan, and decisively asked his subordinates to borrow the car keys.

Driving near the coffee shop, Zhongyuan Zhongya found a location that was unobtrusive but convenient for observation and parked the car.

When he arrived, Quan happened to be out delivering food.

But he didn't wait too long, Quan came back about ten minutes later.

However, Zhongyuan Zhong didn't expect that he actually got out of someone else's car.

The words of the car owner... Nakahara Chuuya saw the other person talking to Izumi while his arm was resting on the car window. It was Kunikida Doppo who had met him once in a bar.

Nakahara Chuuya looked at Izumi, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and talked to Kunikida Doppo with a smile on his face. He didn't know how to describe his feelings for a while.

He took out a cigarette and a lighter from his coat pocket and lit one for himself. He did not open the window to let the air circulate, so he smoked in the closed compartment. The lingering smoke blurred his expression in an instant.

On the other side, after the detective agency duo brought the serial murderer back, as if they had timed it right, the knocked unconscious prisoner opened his eyes.

The interrogation of the prisoner began immediately.

At first, when Kunikida Doppo asked questions one after another, he was extremely uncooperative and ignored them at all.

However, after Dazai Osamu led the conversation and revealed to his face his intention to chop off the victim's ring finger, putting pressure on him bit by bit, and gradually breaking through his psychological defense, he was finally willing to speak.

The prisoner's name is Kawazawa. After graduating from college, he dated three girlfriends.

He managed all three relationships carefully, but what he never expected was that all three girlfriends broke up with him on the day he was planning to propose.

This was like a bolt from the blue to him, and he naturally wanted to ask why.

Perhaps in order to excuse themselves, perhaps to avoid endless entanglements in the future, or perhaps because they had really held grudges for a long time, they listed many of his shortcomings.

After three failed marriage proposals in a row and receiving a gift package of criticism, Kawazawa was hit hard. After that, he quit his job and for the past six months, he has been living at home only ordering takeout.

During the interrogation of Kawazawa, the two members of the Armed Detective Agency discovered something interesting.

Kawazawa confessed to his crime, but when he heard Dazai Osamu say that he cut off the male victim's ring finger, his expression became a little strange, but he quickly returned to normal.

He thought he had covered it up, but he didn't expect that Osamu Dazai had already noticed this subtle change, but he didn't show it. Instead, he used a sentence to test him: "Are you bisexual?"

Kawazawa reacted greatly: "What bisexuality! I only like girls!"

"Oh~" Dazai Osamu protracted, with an intriguing smile on his face, "But... if you cut off women's ring fingers as punishment for rejecting your proposal, then... what about men? You obviously cut them off too.

The ring fingers of the male victims? And it’s also the one wearing the wedding ring, isn’t it?”

Ignoring for the moment the last target that led to his arrest, Izumi was an out-and-out cross-dresser - after all, Izumi's appearance and dress were indeed very misleading - if Kawazawa was not bisexual, then he would have been killed

What happened to the male victim who lost his left ring finger?

Kawazawa: "..."

Although he did not answer Osamu Dazai's question, since he did not refute it, it meant that there must be something fishy going on.

Kunikida Doppo then asked some other questions, but Kawazawa remained silent and didn't say a word, just like he did at the beginning of the interrogation.

Before Kunikida Doppo's patience disappeared, Osamu Dazai suddenly stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for them to go out and talk.

"..." Kunikida glanced at Dazai Osamu alone, then at Kawazawa who lowered his head and said nothing, and followed him.

"What do you think?" After closing the door of the interrogation room, Kunikida Doppo asked his partner, "Based on the guy's reaction just now, does it mean that his original targets were only women? If what he said is true, then the other male victims

What's going on? Why do they have their ring fingers cut off like the female victims?"

Osamu Dazai reminded him: "Did you forget that he has a companion?"

"Do you...do you suspect that in this case, the private detective played more than just providing photos and information of the victims to Kawazawa? He killed all the male victims?"

On the way back in the car, Kunikida Doppo heard Dazai Osamu say that the prisoner hired a private detective to help him find the target, so he knew that the detective in the city was such a person.

After having such a guess, Kunikida Doppo frowned slightly, thought carefully and said: "It is indeed very possible..."

"According to the prisoner, he met the city detective a month ago - I also confirmed this on his social account. Coincidentally, the first victim of this serial murder case was discovered

The body was also found a month ago."

"In addition, have you noticed that all the male victims in this case are nineteen years old."

"!" Kunikida Doppo quickly opened the handbook recording the case, and found that it was exactly what Osamu Dazai said. "It's true. Previously, we classified it as one case based on the fact that the victim's ring finger would be cut off.

, so when compiling the information on male and female victims, this issue was not noticed..."

Dazai Osamu continued: "Who is that guy named Jonuchi looking for? A nineteen-year-old male. Because the age and gender of the target are too accurate, in order not to arouse the vigilance of others, such as his target, he has to give

Find yourself some cover..."

Kunikida Doppo understood clearly, and he said with a serious face: "So he found Kawazawa through the Internet... The female victim behind was just a cover for him to obscure his real target?"

"Yes." Dazai Osamu said unhurriedly, "Kawazawa is a stay-at-home guy. He basically doesn't leave his house except when he is actually attacking the target. So how does he lock the target? Of course, as a private agent

The detective's Jonouchi. And Jonouchi can use this opportunity to select women of the right age and make them the 'targets' of Kawazawa."

"Kawazawa's targets are women who reject his advances, and having their ring fingers cut off is both a punishment and a symbol. Jonuchi only needs to cut off the male victim's ring fingers after committing the crime, and he can easily hide his targets in Kawazawa.

In Ze’s case.”

"Now that Kawazawa has been arrested, but his whereabouts in the city are still unknown, we do not rule out the possibility that he will continue to commit crimes." Dazai Osamu suddenly looked at Kunikida Doppo, "Besides, don't you think there is a target that meets his criteria right now?

As far as I know, sister Xiaoquan is exactly nineteen this year~"

Kunikida suddenly opened his eyes wide: "You mean...?!"

His eyes turned back to the coffee shop.

Not long ago, the roses prepared by Shanjing confessed to the fire and burned in the street. The fire was not small. Of course, Izumi noticed the movement.

But unlike other people, Izumi didn't think that the reason why the roses ignited was because Shanjing carelessly broke the lighter. He suspected that someone else did it.

But things happened so fast at that time that he didn't even have time to notice whether there was any abnormality before the rose burned, so he couldn't tell when, where, and how the person behind the scenes removed the problematic lighter.

Hidden in a bouquet of roses.

Such doubts continued until Dazai Osamu called him. The other party reminded him on the phone that the "jouchi" would probably attack him next.

After hanging up the phone, Quan held his chin in deep thought.

Could it be that the fire just now was set by the "city" who wanted to harm him?

It doesn't seem impossible... If the lighter had been hidden in the rose bouquet and he took the rose from Shanjing's hand, then he would be the one who would be burned by the flames!

Sure enough, the guy who set the fire was very suspicious!

In the black car across the road, the "suspicious" Zhongyuan Zhong also sneezed loudly.
