Chapter 43



Oda Sakunosuke's hands trembled for a moment, almost causing the orange to fall to the ground. He said in a low voice, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

Dazai suddenly laughed out loud: "Since this is Odasaku's request, I will explain it in more detail."

"The reason why Mizukami Sosuke became a cadre of the Port Mafia with the identity of an ordinary person was because he had a memory and calculation ability that was unique in the world." Dazai Osamu said, "For example, he can even memorize the entire content of a book at the speed of a bank cash machine, and even deduce different lines of future situations."

Nakajima Atsushi muttered, "Isn't this a supernatural power? A normal person wouldn't be able to read the contents of the book if he flipped through it like that, right?"

"Maybe it's cursed power?" Dazai Osamu also took an orange and started peeling it. "But this also shows how terrible Minakami Sosuke's plan is. So I'm not surprised at all that he can achieve his own goal by asking the God of Death to come here to entrust him with something completely unrelated."

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, "Yes! That's right. Through the information revealed by Mizukami Tetsuya, we know that Mizukami Sosuke, um... should it be him? He ran away from home for many years and knows nothing about the Mizukami family. But because of Mizukami Kazuki's matter, he and his eldest brother Mizukami Tetsuya will sooner or later confront each other."

"So when you are limited and the opportunity has not come, it is very important to get information about your opponent."

Kunikida Dopo was surprised and asked, "When the ambush was passing the message to us, was Mizukami Sosuke also listening?"

"Yes." Edogawa Ranpo nodded. "I can't figure out how he did it, but what is certain is that he knows all the information we have learned - that Fukui God is the starting point for his trap."

Oda Sakunosuke said, "Mizukami Sosuke is indeed a judge, but he recently signed a contract with me to transfer the Honmaru and other sword gods to me."

Dazai Osamu almost choked on his orange and asked, "Are you going to be a judge?"

"Yes, I think this profession is quite suitable for me to write novels in my spare time." Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "and the gods of death are very mature, so I don't need to worry about them."

Dazai Osamu didn't want to listen to Oda Sakunosuke's nonsense. He knew with his toes that it was Mizukami Sosuke who was deceiving him. He probably knew that he wouldn't live long.

I never thought that my former colleague and friend would go to this point.

Dazai Osamu inexplicably thought of the family he was born into. As expected... no matter which family it was, it was full of corruption and filth, and could drive a person crazy.

He said, "I guess Ranpo-san has also discovered Mizukami Sosuke's unspoken ability, right?"

Edogawa Ranpo nodded. "Well, that's pretty straightforward, isn't it? To put it simply, it's a [transaction]."

"One party in his [transaction] is fixed to himself, and the other party can be anything. The transaction object can be specified. As long as you agree to any of his 'requests', it is equivalent to agreeing to part of the transaction. I guess the gems of the Mizukami family are the medium of transaction."

"Well, it's not quite accurate to call it a medium." Edogawa Ranpo pushed up his glasses. "The gem will take away a portion of his life force as a reward."

"The first transaction with our detective agency was with Morobushi Kagemitsu," Dazai continued. "He was the one who actually issued the commission, and Yamato-no-kami Yasunari was just a messenger. After we established the [transaction], he designated Morobushi Kagemitsu as the target, so Kagemitsu blurted out that he would go to Mizukami Tetsuya and would not ask for any reward."

This was also the doubt that Morofushi Kagemitsu later told them: although he had never met Mizukami Cheya, he blurted out that this matter was related to his lost memory, and thus took the initiative to accept the commission.

Kunikida Dopo murmured, "Isn't this ability too much? As a member of the Armed Detective Agency, he can designate anyone at will?"

Edogawa shook his head randomly: "The greater the ability, the greater the limitation. It seems that he did not pay any reward, but in fact he definitely paid a huge price."

He sighed, "If it was him in the past, he wouldn't have let me see through him so quickly."

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a while, then asked in a somewhat awkward tone: "He, exchanged his abilities?"

"I can't tell from his memory, but his control over the situation is definitely not as strong as before, and even his emotions are fluctuating a lot more." Dazai Osamu's eyes flashed with an unknown meaning, "He made more than one deal."

"However, we are still unable to draw conclusions about what aspects of our company were used to make the transaction."

Edogawa Ranpo complained: "So this guy, his ability is so limited, but he still uses it recklessly. It's too much."

"Then what do you mean he's dying?" Oda Sakunosuke asked hastily, his anxiety evident in his words.

Could it be that Mizukami Sosuke handed the Honmaru over to him not because he wanted to relax a little, but because he was entrusting his son to him?

Once his original intention changed, Oda Sakunosuke felt a lot more pressure.

After all, after spending a few days together, he had indeed regarded Mizukami Sosuke as a friend.

"When the Mizukami family's gemstone is not in the possession of the original owner, it will continue to absorb the owner's vitality." Dazai Osamu said the information he got from Gojo Satoru, "and Mizukami Sosuke's ability causes his vitality to be absorbed exponentially."

"That must be why he had to give up the gem for now."

Edogawa Ranpo shook his head: "No, Dazai, that's not right. Mizukami Sosuke never thought of giving up the gem. He lost the gem because he was too weak, and then he found it by some means."

Oda Sakunosuke confirmed: "He was very feverish when he came to see me, and he talked nonsense about the loss of his pocket watch."

"So, it is impossible for him to reach a [deal] with us when he has already reached the end of his strength." Edogawa Ranpo sighed, "If Ranpo-sama had really agreed to his request, he would have become his accomplice."

Oda Sakunosuke hesitated for a moment and said, "Then - as long as he doesn't get the pocket watch, then he won't..."

He opened his mouth but didn't utter the vague word.

"I want to know how they plan to revive Mizukami and Shu." Dazai chuckled twice. "Resurrection of the dead, no, according to the sorcerer, he turned into a cursed spirit."

Ranbudao said: "There is a rumor in the world of curses that as long as the obsession with love or hate is too deep, it is easy to form a curse, that is, a cursed spirit. But in the essential sense, the person is still dead, it is just an additional restraint."

The puzzle is still missing Mizukami and Itsuki. People are unable to infer what happened to Mizukami's family based on the current clues, and can only draw conclusions based on the upcoming Suzuki Group exhibition.

"Mizukami Tetsu will definitely go, too. As the current head of the Mizukami family, it will be easy for him to auction the watch back." Dazai Osamu analyzed, "And with his 'immortal' nature and cursed characteristics, his body's vitality will definitely not be drained by the gem. In this respect, he is indeed a more suitable holder than Sosuke."

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly spoke up: "Don't forget what Jingguang said. Mizukami Tetsu also has an obsession with Mizukami Sosuke. He wants to use his injury as an opportunity to force Sosuke to show up."

"Once he gets the gemstone, he will definitely go see Sosuke. They both have the same goal in this regard."

Oda Sakunosuke frowned and said in disapproval: "Sosuke told me that Mizukami Tetsu also wanted him dead."

Dazai slowly wiped the orange juice off his hands: "If Mizukami and Shu can be resurrected, it probably won't matter which of them dies. Before that, the two of them won't kill each other."

"I'm now looking forward to finding the cursed spirit Mizukami Kazuki. He must be a very charming person, because he made his brothers willing to pay any price to revive him, and even turned against each other."

Oda Sakunosuke suddenly remembered the nonsense that Mizukami Sosuke said when he was drunk, which seemed to mention that he regretted exchanging information with Kazuki, so he immediately told the two people who were thinking about it.

"Twins... exchange..." Dazai frowned, "I think I've got something, but I still need to contact Gojo Satoru first to confirm the customs of their world of sorcery."

The door suddenly opened, and Zhu Fu Jingguang walked in, and said excitedly: "I have already found out about the 'notebook'. About half a month ago, the port mafia participated in a secret auction and bought a 'book' that could not be opened."

"Hey, is this the client?" He saw Oda Sakunosuke.

"He's my friend." Dazai Osamu said first, "I came here to reminisce and talk about the Mizukami family."

There was a lingering worry in Morobushi Jingguang's beautiful eyes: "Mr. Mizukami... he hasn't been out for several days, and he can't cook."

If he hadn't known that they should keep their distance during this sensitive period, Morofu Jingguang would have wanted to rush in to see how Mizukami Cheye was living.

Kunikida Dopo coughed lightly. He didn't know what kind of magic potion Mizukami Che had given Morobu Kagemitsu. He had only been a bodyguard for a short time, but now he kept calling him Mr. Mizukami and Police Officer Mizukami. He was worried that Mizukami didn't have enough food or clothes, and that he didn't take his medicine properly.

After recovering his memory, he is now a police officer and an undercover agent, right? Is it really appropriate to treat a 30-year-old adult like a mother hen protecting her cubs?

Morofushi Jingguang came back to his senses and quickly continued his conversation: "According to the information we have found so far, the unknown notebook should be with the gravity user of the Port Mafia, the leader Nakahara Chuuya."

"Pfft." Dazai Osamu suddenly laughed out loud.

Several people looked over there. Dazai Osamu smacked his lips and said meaningfully, "That little dwarf is quite clever."

The three cadres who had the best relationship at that time, Dazai Osamu, Mizukami Sosuke, and Nakahara Chuuya, are now entangled together because of the same thing.

Now that we have a clue, the next steps can be easily arranged.

Perhaps it was because Oda Sakunosuke had an overly peaceful temperament, or perhaps it was because of Dazai Osamu's relationship, but people did not treat him as an outsider and discussed the next plan in front of him.

Regarding the Suzuki Group's jewelry exhibition, everyone discussed and unanimously decided not to interfere with the actions of Mizukami Tetsuya and Mizukami Sosuke for the time being, but if the pocket watch falls into the hands of Mizukami Sosuke, who may use some unknown means to intervene, they will try their best to intercept it and save Mizukami Sosuke's life first.

As for the matter of Nakahara Chuuya, Dazai Osamu will contact Gojo Satoru, and they will look for clues together and try to get it done in one go.

When they talked about the moon rising over the eastern mountain, Oda Sakunosuke finally told them another purpose of his trip.

"You want to invite me to go to Honmaru with you?" Dazai Osamu said nonchalantly, twisting the bandage on his hand, "Will Mizukami Sosuke go too?"

Oda Sakunosuke said, "He said that this time he went to the past of Honmaru, which I will take over soon. Their previous judge was cruel to the sword master, which caused a conflict between the two sides."

"We used to deal with the Shinsengumi and took over the Honmaru directly."

Dazai Osamu exclaimed, "Robbery, I like that. But Mizukami Sosuke has no fighting ability, is it really possible to go there?"

"He knows this well." Oda Sakunosuke thought about it and did not tell anyone about the existence of the Five Tigers. He just said, "Is it okay?"

"Since Odasaku said so, I will definitely go."

Finally, Oda Sakunosuke was still a little worried about the whereabouts of Mizukami Sosuke, so he suggested going to look for him, and Dazai Osamu accompanied him.

"Where do you think he'll go?" Dazai asked.

Oda Sakunosuke subconsciously went to the curry restaurant they had visited during the day.

Next to the closed store, Mizukami Sosuke squatted in a corner where the street lights could not reach, with his hands clasped on his knees.

Oda Sakunosuke walked over and subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead.
