42 Chapter 42
◎ "Little tail."◎
The members of the Hound Team got into the car behind Yunxiji.
"Offering to escort the demon away?" Jouno Caiju suspected he was doing it on purpose. "Are you trying to test the concept of 'suspiciousness becomes less suspicious after reaching a certain point'?"
Yun Xiji said innocently: "I'm just an honest hound team member."
When the transporters saw the Hound team members, they hesitated for two seconds, and their eyes flashed across each of their faces, finally landing on their team uniforms. The person who was farthest away quietly took out a walkie-talkie and spoke softly to the other end.
Suehiro Tetsugu took out his ID and said, "Hound, I will help you escort the demon."
The delivery person said nothing.
"These guys think we're wanted criminals like Yun Xiji, who got into government through connections," said Tiao Ye Caiju. "They don't trust us."
The culprit, Yun Xiji, looked away without changing his expression.
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't be trusted even when I'm away from home." Yun Xiji glanced at the delivery personnel in front of him. He sighed that people's hearts were too cold and he dared not touch them. For a moment, the entire delivery vehicle became quiet.
It was obvious to the naked eye that a strange expression of "What is this guy talking about" appeared on the delivery personnel's face.
During the stalemate with the hound, someone had already contacted the boss.
"They are indeed government personnel." The transport personnel in charge of liaison took a closer look at them and finally allowed them to stay in the car.
Okura Yezi found a seat and sat down.
"When we go out with you, we hounds don't look like a government squad anymore."
When others saw Yun Xiji standing with the hound, their first reaction was that there was something wrong with the hound.
The Hound team members have a hard time expressing their feelings.
Who agreed to let Yun Xiji join the Hound?
There were no accidents on the way to escort Fyodor, and the transporters breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, that "fortune teller" was a complete accident.
They moved Fyodor into the prison, dealt with everything, and turned to leave, but happened to meet Yun Xiji.
“…”
Why is he still here?
"The delivery has ended." The delivery staff reminded.
Yun Xiji looked surprised: "It's not over yet, you still have to transport someone in a few days."
The fortune teller said lightly, "We'll meet again."
Transporter: “…”
What's the difference between this and being haunted by a ghost?
————
Detective agency.
The laboratory was thoroughly cleaned up, and Fyodor was thrown into prison. Everyone in the detective agency tacitly avoided the topic and did not bring it up in front of Mu Ye Xue Che. The content of the commissions returned to their usual routine - finding cats and dogs without any technical content, solving the client's troubles, or resolving disputes.
The detective agency's business is very broad.
Mu Ye Xue Che found the client's lost dog in the corner of the alley. There was a figure squatting in front of the puppy, with his back to him.
The other party turned his head and looked at Mu Ye Xue Che as if he had noticed something.
"Is it you?"
Nakahara Chuuya's brows lowered.
"Detective Agency, what do you want to do here?"
He stood up.
The puppy beside him looked at the stranger who was feeding him, then looked at Mu Ye Xue Che not far away, took a step back, and ran deep into the alley.
If he met someone from a detective agency in a place like this, it was very likely that they were here for him.
He looked around Mu Ye Xue Che, it was empty, with only him.
Is there only one person?
The unfamiliar young man narrowed his eyes slightly. He was standing with the light behind him, blocking the entrance of the alley.
The air suddenly stagnated.
The next second, Mu Ye Xue Che moved and walked into the alley.
Nakahara Chuuya raised his hand, and his supernatural power was activated all over his body——
"Xiaohua."
Mu Ye Xue Che called out an unfamiliar name.
The puppy, who was about to run away, tilted its head, and happily came to Mu Ye Xue Che's side, circling around him.
Nakahara Chuuya: “?”
He stood there in a daze.
Mu Ye Xue Che only responded to the question at this time: "Come to find the dog."
Nakahara Chuuya: “…”
Was it just a coincidence?
Mu Ye Xue Che raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to be interested in his reaction: "Do you think I'm here to cause trouble?"
"The detective agency isn't as idle as you think."
Mu Ye Xue Che walked out of the alley. As soon as he stepped out of the alley, there was a loud splash and the rain was like a pouring bucket, sweeping over the entire Yokohama without a word.
The young man silently looked at the heavy rain in front of him. The crackling sound hit the umbrella. The client's puppy looked at the heavy rain in fear and leaned towards Mu Ye Xue Che.
Mu Ye Xue Che is pretty good with an umbrella.
Without an umbrella and completely unprepared, Zhongyuan Zhongye stood in the rain for a second, then immediately dodged and hid under the eaves.
When he looked up again, Mu Ye Xue Che had already left with the dog in his arms. Zhong Yuan Zhongye sighed softly, leaned against the wall, bent one leg, lowered the brim of his hat, and prepared to wait for the rain to stop before going out.
"Why are you still holding your umbrella?" Two people were arguing as they passed by the alley. "You're still holding onto it with just one umbrella?"
Nakahara Chuuya heard the voice and looked towards the two of them.
They were completely strangers, two people holding one umbrella.
"But it's raining now... How are we going to get back without an umbrella?"
The man said confidently: "Are you stupid? Just wait until the rain stops."
Another person suddenly realized: "You are right."
The umbrella was thrown to the entrance of the alley, splashing tiny water droplets and raindrops hitting the umbrella.
The umbrella appeared alone in Chuuya Nakahara's field of vision.
Nakahara Chuuya's mind was blank as he listened to the conversation between the two in a daze.
The two people quarreled and said something like "It's all the umbrella's problem", "We don't want that broken umbrella anymore", "Whoever wants to use an umbrella can use it", and then left.
...and left? ?
Nakahara Chuuya slowly asked a question mark.
etc.
What are these two people arguing about?
This is not normal no matter how you look at it!
He walked over and saw only one umbrella on the ground. The two people who had just been arguing about waiting for the rain to stop had already disappeared.
Nakahara Chuuya was genuinely confused:? ?
Why don’t some people use umbrellas when it rains?
This was Chuuya Nakahara's first reaction.
He looked at the umbrella and suddenly realized that perhaps someone was setting him up, and there was something wrong with the umbrella.
He picked up the umbrella and gave it a quick inspection.
No problem.
The content of the quarrel just now resurfaced in his mind.
Nakahara Chuuya was speechless for a moment, his expression complicated.
Have the people of Yokohama become like this? Is there something wrong with that group of people or is there something wrong with him?
Chuuya Nakahara walked out of the alley with the "abandoned" umbrella.
The rain outside was heavier than he had imagined.
He walked towards Mafia with an umbrella. When he passed by a convenience store, he accidentally glanced inside.
Mu Ye Xue Che was standing in the store, talking to two people who were soaked.
It was the two passersby who said “no umbrella”.
As they were talking...Mu Ye Xue Che actually handed them a card.
Nakahara Chuuya looked at the umbrella in his hand and then looked inside the store.
“…”
The case is solved.
It turns out those two were just acting.
Nakahara Chuuya breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they are all fine.
After thinking everything through, those cobalt blue eyes revealed some complexity.
"Muye..."
Nakahara Chuuya thought about his name.
He speaks in an arrogant tone, but his actions are surprisingly... gentle?
Although it was just an umbrella, Zhongyuan Chuuya decided to thank Muye Xueche another day. He left the street holding the umbrella he "picked up".
Mu Ye Xue Che paid the money and looked outside the convenience store.
The heavy rain curtain blurred everything. Mu Ye Xue Che frowned slightly, called someone, and asked the bodyguard to send the puppy back to the client's home.
"Then we'll leave first." The two temporarily hired passers-by waved at him.
Mu Ye Xue Che nodded.
While waiting, he clicked on the forum and took a look. In a thread discussing the plot, a reply appeared: [Everything is such a coincidence. Mu Ye: I'm being targeted.]
What was targeted?
Did we miss some key plot point?
He went down.
[I'm really speechless about the acting of those two passersby, hahaha. I can't think of such a funny script in my life.]
[Nakahara Chuuya: Space Cat Head.JPG]
[From Mu Ye Xue Che's perspective, it really does seem like they're being targeted. Doing good things quietly always gets discovered. This is a holy body that's naturally immune to misunderstandings.]
[Wow, Tsundere, rise up!]
Ye Yueshen looked at the lines of words and remained silent for a long time.
He opened the edit page and edited the post decisively.
No knife? No problem, he can guide the audience to find the knife himself.
Title: [Muye Xueche looks very lonely]
Ye Yueshen wrote hundreds of words in a very eloquent manner, listing from various angles how and why Mu Ye Xue Che was lonely.
Finally, I end with the sentence "He always keeps everything in his heart."
1L [Original Poster, your ID looks familiar]
2L [Oh my god, I suddenly feel that what the OP said is very right]
3L [Muye Xuetetsu has never confided in anyone. Everything was discovered by everyone. I can't imagine if Muye Xuetetsu hadn't met a detective agency...]
4L [Upstairs, Little Mouth]
5L [The young master has a heart as hard as ice. He hasn't smiled in over a decade—]
6L [Butler, your young master laughed a few episodes ago]
7L［Chaotic Formula Cross Out］
This guidance was unexpectedly effective.
Ye Yueshen used up his three daily reply quotas and tried hard to spread the word in the forum.
When he returned to the detective agency, the rain had stopped.
After confirming the follow-up procedures of the mission, Murasakibara Xueche returned to his seat. He raised his head and met Edogawa Ranpo's eyes.
Mu Yexue paused.
Oh no, I forgot to feed Edogawa Ranpo.
It's okay, it's not a big deal.
He calmly looked away and immediately called his bodyguard to buy it.
The door of the detective agency was pushed open.
The sound arrives before the person.
"The detective agency needs to find someone for a new commission." Kunikida walked into the house alone.
A person's information was spread out on the table, showing his appearance and features.
"Oguri Mushitaro escaped from the Special Ability Division."
Kunikida Doppo said, "This mission is very important and must begin now."
Edogawa Ranpo slowly raised his eyes, his emerald green eyes opened and fell on the man's information.
After a moment, he spread out the map and pointed to a location: "Here."
That's a hotel.
————
The detective agency sent three people, Murasakibara Yukiteru, Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka.
Mu Ye Xue Che went to open three rooms and successfully entered the hotel.
"If we search floor by floor, we'll probably alert the enemy," Nakajima Atsushi said, scanning the elevator floors and silently counting the number of rooms. "Should we ask the front desk directly?"
"He's not using his own identity information." Izumi Jinghua is very experienced. "People who want to escape are using other people's identity information to open a room and hide."
The girl's face was expressionless, and her tone was calm: "We need to act separately."
Mu Ye Xue Che, who had been silent the whole time, looked at the changing floor numbers and suddenly asked, "Why did he choose to stay in a hotel when he escaped?"
There is dense surveillance, many people entering and leaving in a chaotic manner, and there is only one exit, making it difficult to escape from high floors.
Choosing this place would only make it more difficult to escape.
Nakajima Atsushi was stunned.
He thought about the reason and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Is it for the connection?"
One advantage of choosing a hotel is that it is convenient for contact. There are a lot of people here, which can provide cover for them.
In addition, since Oguri Mushitaro would not use his own identity information to book a room, it must be that someone was helping him.
He has accomplices.
The elevator arrived at the target floor and the door slowly opened.
The shadow gradually spread in through the open door, and a person was standing outside the elevator door.
He was wearing a red military police uniform, his eyes were drooping, and he looked absent-minded, completely unfocused, and even a little sleepy.
"Fortune teller?!" Nakajima Atsushi immediately became alert.
Izumi Kyoka held her phone tightly, staring at the person outside the door motionlessly.
"Put aside your weapons. I've resigned from the Rat of the Dead House," Yun Xiji said. "I'll forgive your offense this time. Remember to call me 'Military Police Master' next time we meet."
Nakajima Atsushi: “…”
Even if you join the hounds, you can't call it that!
After complaining for a few words, he suddenly realized.
——Why did Yun Xiji appear here?
"Why are you here?" The person who asked this question was Mu Ye Xue Che.
The other party replied: "Of course it is to carry out the mission."
Yun Xiji: "Are you trying to find out about the hound's mission?"
With a light question, the detective agency lost the reason to continue asking questions. After a moment of silence, the three of them walked out of the elevator and watched Yun Xiji leave.
"How suspicious." Nakajima Atsushi said.
Izumi Kyoka nodded: "I'll follow him."
Nakajima was stunned.
Are you going to split up so soon?
Izumi Kyoka walked towards the stairs, while Mu Ye Xue Che planned to check out the room first.
Nakajima Atsushi looked around and said, "Then I'll go downstairs and take a look. The target usually goes downstairs or goes out. There might be his accomplices among those coming in and out. If we wait at the exit downstairs, we might be able to catch the target."
The three of them acted separately.
Their room is on the eighth floor.
Mu Ye Xue Che's room number is 804.
Mu Ye Xue Che scanned the room and began to check upstairs.
This floor was very quiet and no one came up. He was about to go upstairs to check when he suddenly heard voices coming from a door.
The hotel's soundproofing was quite high, and through the door, Mu Ye Xue Che could only vaguely hear two voices. He leaned in closer to listen, and only then could he make out the content of the conversation.
"Is it done?"
"Bombs have been installed on every floor. If the deal fails, I will blow up the entire building!"
"Well, when is that guy coming?"
"He said he had already arrived and asked us to go to Room 704 to talk."
704.
Just downstairs from him.
Mu Ye Xue Che left before the two of them went out. He took the elevator to the seventh floor and found the address 704.
Mu Ye Xue Che lowered his head and walked forward to knock on the door.
"Hello, room service."
No one opened the door.
He knocked on the door several times, but no one opened it.
It was very quiet inside, and there was no sound of breathing. Mu Ye Xue Che returned to his room and walked to the balcony.
704 is right below.
He climbed over the railing and quickly rushed downstairs, landing right on the balcony.
The room was very tidy and clean, as if it had not been occupied yet. Mu Ye Xue Che searched around but couldn't find anything useful.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Mu Ye Xue Che's expression started to frighten him, and he immediately turned around and went into the closet.
Some people came in, three people in total.
The heavy suitcase was placed on the table.
"As long as you activate your supernatural powers on these, we can ensure that you will not be caught by the Supernatural Special Agent Department."
Special Ability Agent Department?
Mu Ye Xue Che slightly opened the cabinet door.
It's Mushitaro Oguri.
Found it.
Now all we have to do is capture the target.
"Don't you guys know how to observe your surroundings before making a deal?" Oguri Mushitaro folded his arms across his chest and leaned back on the sofa. "It's obvious someone has been here before."
"I've been in this room before, and the corners of that quilt weren't as smooth as they are now."
"Did you reveal your plan?"
The trader slammed the table and said, "How is that possible!"
He and his companions know each other very well, so it is impossible for them to leak any information to others.
"etc."
Oguri Mushitaro suddenly raised his hand: "That person is probably still in the room."
"Search around first and then talk to me." He sat down on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
The other two were annoyed, but also worried that there might be other people in the house, so they started searching.
One person was looking for the balcony, and the other was walking towards the wardrobe.
He opened the wardrobe and muttered,
"Really? How could we possibly leak it..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
He met a pair of golden eyes. The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his knife and knocked him unconscious.
"boom."
The man lay straight down.
The three people sent by the detective agency are all capable of fighting. If a fight really breaks out, what they have to consider is not how to win, but how to keep the opponent alive.
After all, the Special Ability Agent Department specified that they wanted him alive.
“There really is someone!!”
The scream startled Oguri Mushitaro. He opened his eyes suddenly and looked over with a start.
Instead of being scared by the enemy, I was scared by the screams of my teammates.
The man who was checking the balcony was facing Mu Ye Xue Che and was panicked for a moment. When he realized that he had a trump card, Mu Ye Xue Che had already walked in front of him.
"I have a bomb! No... the bomb is planted here... No." He seemed to be frightened. "I have planted a bomb here!"
Mu Ye Xue Che asked: "Are all of you in this line of work so mentally challenged?"
The other party took out the bomb remote control.
Mu Ye Xue Che used Snatch.
The snatch was successful.
Kurome Yukito glanced at Oguri Mushitaro, who silently raised his hand.
Nakajima Atsushi, who was observing people downstairs, received the news from Murasakibara Xueche and hurried upstairs.
After he left, the next person to enter the elevator was a hooded man with white pigtails sticking out of the hood and hanging in front of him. He hummed softly, his brows curved, watching the elevator rise.
Nakajima Atsushi came to 704, pushed open the door, and saw two people lying inside.
He looked at the still conscious Oguri Mushitaro.
"Do we want to knock him out and take him away?" asked Nakajima Atsushi.
"No," said Oguri Mushitaro, "I have something else to say."
He stood up without even looking at the two people lying on the ground.
He said, "I want to remove my supernatural powers."
Nakajima Atsushi was confused.
Oguri Mushitaro has the special ability [Perfect Crime], which allows him to eliminate the evidence of his crimes.
"Agency 7, a government organization that can exonerate criminals and erase all evidence of crimes, exists because of him." A voice interrupted. A figure appeared behind Oguri Mushitaro, grabbing his shoulders with both hands. "Question—"
The hood fell down, revealing Gogol's smiling face, "Why am I here?"
Without waiting for anyone else to respond, he answered, "Yes, I'm going to take Oguri Mushitaro away!"
Nakajima Atsushi: !!
"So, next question!"
Suddenly, an invisible sharp blade interrupted his words. Gogol picked up Oguri Mushitaro and barely avoided the attack.
"Did he actually activate his special ability right away?"
What greeted him was a series of supernatural attacks. Nakajima Atsushi seized the opportunity and immediately rushed forward.
Gogol smiled and said, "Then do you know why the government is so eager to find him?"
He carried Oguri Mushitaro and dodged everywhere, insisting on finishing his words.
Oguri Mushitaro just felt dizzy.
"Can't you just say it next time?" He was about to vomit.
"No," Gogol continued, "because they have all used the power of [Perfect Crime] to cleanse themselves of their sins."
"In order to prevent everything from being exposed, we must quickly capture the master of the special ability."
After the words fell, Gogol stopped dodging the attack and said to the two of them: "Bye-bye~"
He disappeared from the spot with Oguri Mushitaro.
The target disappeared and the attacks gradually stopped.
"Does he mean that once the supernatural power is removed, the criminal records that were previously covered up will reappear?" Nakajima Atsushi pursed his lips.
In this case, Gogol took Oguri Mushitaro away not to ask him to help cover up the evidence of the crime, but to drag others into the water.
This isn't a bad thing...
"Contact Jinghua." Muye Xueche said.
On the other side, Izumi Jinghua walked down four floors before confirming Yun Xiji's destination.
She hid sideways in the corridor, waiting for Yun Xiji's next move.
It was quiet with only a faint ticking sound.
When Izumi Kyoka looked up, she saw a bomb with a countdown tied to the bottom of the stairs!
In the corridor on the fourth floor, Yun Xiji was walking towards his room while talking on the phone.
"Is the mission over?" The young man asked with some regret. "Apart from the prediction process, I had no involvement at all."
"Yes, I'm going back today."
"You really don't want to hear about the future? Okay, okay, don't pull my mouth."
"Oh? My business? Nothing much is going on here, except for one thing..."
Yun Xiji stopped in front of the door, suddenly turned his head and looked straight at the stairs.
He was still talking to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Little tail."
