Shocking! Unusual reactions from cadres in Central China recently!

"But apart from Mr. Nakahara, everyone else was also very alert. Even the children noticed that I was taking pictures without my consent. It was really frustrating."

"Is that so? Then, could you show me the photo, Mr. Atsushi?"

Dazai suddenly spoke with great interest. Although Atsushi Nakajima was puzzled as to why Mr. Dazai had suddenly become excited, he still opened his phone and handed it to Dazai.

"Here."

Jinghua, who had been standing nearby, immediately recognized the three people in the photo and said with a sudden pale face.

"That's not a child, that's Alice, the humanoid superpowered being of the Mafia boss."

"So that's why! The middle-aged man next to him is the mysterious mafia boss!"

Atsushi Nakajima belatedly realized that he had really left so easily that day?

[Haha, if everyone hadn't been so focused on buying clothes for Chuuya, the next plot point would have been how the detective agency infiltrated the mafia to rescue Atsushi.]

[Perhaps some strange dungeon scenes will also unfold??]

[The whole group exudes a ghostly aura; the dampness and the sheer presence are truly impressive.]

Ghosts? Dampness? Chuuya looked at these two unfamiliar words with confusion, completely unable to imagine what kind of things that person had filmed them in.

But it was actually just an ordinary photo. However, because it was taken secretly, the brightness was accidentally turned down. When the shutter was pressed, all four people looked over and stared directly at the camera, creating an immediate sense of pressure.

Even though there are many times when I don't understand the comments, I still love watching them. They're nice to listen to, and I can get information and have fun from them.

And it's amazing that it's been so long before that guy remembered? Haven't I been working for nothing all these past few days? No wonder the comments haven't mentioned that guy much these past few days, it turns out he simply doesn't know anything about him.

Dazai's smile deepened as he looked at the photos on his phone, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "Oh dear, they're all old acquaintances, but it's not normal for these three to be walking down the street together."

"Atsushi-kun was really lucky that day~ It seems like they had something more important to do, so where did you see them that day, Atsushi-kun?"

Dazai subtly moved his fingers to send the photo to his phone, then erased all traces of it.

"It seems to be near a very famous shopping mall, right?"

Atsushi Nakajima scratched the back of his head, trying hard to remember.

"By the way! The things in that mall are really expensive, the kind of things that even if I paid a year's salary in advance, I still couldn't afford them."

"There's no need to describe it like that..."

Kunikida adjusted his glasses with a hint of helplessness. Although he knew it was probably because the places the mafia frequented were too expensive, Atsushi's comment made it seem like being a detective wasn't as lucrative as being a member of the mafia.

"I thought Mr. Dazai would be more interested in Mr. Nakahara's affairs."

Atsushi Nakajima looked at Mr. Dazai, who was sitting at his workstation with his headphones on again, with some surprise.

"It doesn't necessarily mean I'm not interested."

Kyoka looked at Dazai, who was holding a computer and typing something, and said it calmly.

As Kyoka had said, Dazai was extremely interested. After all, it was only natural for the master to know everything about the puppy, right? But it was clear that he couldn't get any useful information from Atsushi, so he had to look elsewhere.

If you want to understand a person, you have to start with the people around them. And wouldn't you know it, he just happens to know how to access the Mafia's dark web forum, since he was the one who created it.

So let him see what the leader and the others are doing with Chuuya. Dazai had a smile full of interest on his face as he opened the forum belonging to the mafia.

There's no need for Dazai to search further; once you click in, the top items are all things Dazai would be interested in.

Shocking! The leader went out with two officers, but it was actually for…!

What makes the leader spend so lavishly?

"The recent unusual reactions of cadres in the Central Plains"

[Kyoka understands Dazai better; how could she possibly be indifferent to Chuuya's situation?]

[Haha, I'm dying of laughter! These names, even the Mafia, are just for fun.]

[Dazai, isn't this the Mafia's dark web? It feels like I'm at home.]

[I'm wondering if Xiao Zhong knows about the existence of the dark web?]

[Good question! Xiao Zhong should know this; Dazai's "Chuuya Never Gives Up This Week" also appeared on this.]

Chuuya was walking on patrol when he suddenly stopped, watching the barrage of comments scrolling by.

Of course he knew about that forum. Back then, Dazai was determined to take embarrassing photos of him and then publish them in newspapers. He would also keep telling him that he had specially developed software so that everyone in the mafia could see Chuuya's embarrassing moments.

At the time, Chuuya was too busy beating up Dazai to pay any attention to this thing. It turns out that even though Dazai has been a defector for four years, the forum is still around. Are they all that bored?!

Regardless of the turmoil churning in Chuuya's heart, Dazai had already started reading. His gaze swept across the titles, and Dazai knew that they were all related to the photos that Atsushi had taken that day. His eyes lingered on the last title, but he had already clicked on the first one. Although he was 'a little' curious about what other unusual reactions Chuuya might have, he wanted to figure out first what Mori-san had taken Chuuya and his older sister out to do that day.

Dazai's cheerful decision was something Atsushi had already vaguely guessed based on what Atsushi had just said, but he still wanted to know more clearly, so he slightly moved his finger and clicked on the first post in the queue.

"What? Oh, so it was just my older sister taking Chuuya shopping for clothes~"

Dazai pursed his lips in boredom and quickly finished reading the gist of the matter. The original poster wrote very clearly that he encountered the incident while buying clothes nearby and clearly witnessed the whole process from the side. Dazai didn't need to click on the post about Mr. Mori to know what was going on.

So let him see the puppy's recent strange behavior! Dazai had a smile on his lips that he himself hadn't even noticed.

The headline reads: "Breaking News! Who knows why that Central Plains cadre has been reacting so strangely lately!"

1L

Let me start by saying, it's already strange enough that a workaholic could stay in Yokohama! Apparently, it was that executive who volunteered!

2L

What? Is that so? I thought he stayed in Yokohama because he found that unspeakable person. After all, when that person defected, this cadre went on a business trip to Europe for four years and never came back.

3L

I have a rumor that the reason the leader and that female cadre took that cadre to buy clothes was because the cadre asked her to do so.

4L

It's understandable that he would take the initiative to dress up, after all, this cadre is almost 23 years old, and it's normal for him to have feelings for someone.

5L

Then it suddenly occurred to me that this cadre, who usually prefers to carry out missions at night, recently applied for daytime patrol duties.

6L

I know that too. I wonder how many clothes the other cadre and the leader picked out for that cadre that day. I haven't seen a single outfit that's the same as the other one yet.

7L

On a side note, I'm grateful to that unknown person who sparked my interest in this cadre, as they finally broke the spell on him. Although I've always known he's good-looking, these past few days I've been genuinely struck by his appearance.

8L

I know that; someone next door created a thread specifically to collect photos of this official.

9L

Why do you all assume it's just budding romance? What if she just wants a different style?

10L

Upstairs, someone who's never been in a relationship should just leave.

11L

How did you know!

12L

If we're talking about looks, the one who defected long ago is undeniably good-looking. Even with such ruthless methods, he still receives love letters every day.

13L

You guys have gone off-topic! Weren't we initially discussing who finished dealing with the recent anomaly?

14L (Original Poster)

After reading everyone's discussion, I have a question: who was the defector? Does our organization have any other defectors who have survived?

15L

The original poster is obviously new here. That person is a taboo in our organization. I suggest you go to the forum and find a post specifically for newcomers to fill in the gaps.

16L

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that the cadre might have liked the defector you're talking about? The timing even matches up.

17L

Are you a newcomer upstairs too? Rather than what you say, I'm more inclined to believe that the cadre has been staying in Yokohama to find an opportunity to kill the defector.

18L

I suddenly remembered that this forum was created by the defector in order to target the current official, and the pinned post is still "This Week Still Won't Give Up"...

19L

That's why, even though those two are sworn enemies, their CP (couple) fans are growing, leaving those of us who only support the Central Plains Cadre with no chance of survival.

20L

After reading through it all, I was even more curious to find out that no one had actually found out who the person they liked.
