Chapter 10

"We already understand the demands of the two of you. Let's confirm again. It is enough to find the 'source of pollution', right? There is no need to solve this 'source of pollution'?"

Kunikida cleared his throat Doppo and looked at Atsushi Nakajima. In a confused state, he repeated Miyako Eri's needs and received a strong nod from the other party.

"That's right, that's right."

The white-haired girl smiled and looked at the white-haired little tiger who was sitting next to the blond young man and listened to his appeal seriously, but then became more and more confused as he listened.

"Mr. Kunikida is indeed the legendary gold medal receptionist. He received the entrusted requests very well."

"I understand. Regarding the entrustment, we will make further careful evaluation in the future before deciding whether to take the job. Please Give me half a day, we need relevant investigators to evaluate the commissioned content. "

Originally, the commissioned evaluation and review does not take so long, but what Miyako Eri said is really unexpected, even for Kunikida Doppo. Unable to judge the authenticity of this commission and the difficulty of the commission request, he needs to conduct partial intelligence integration before he can give a cautious reply.

Logically speaking, Miyako Eri's mysterious origin should have put a question mark on the entire commission. If it was to be cautious, Kunikida Doppo should have extended the commission review time to one day, but because she has some connections with the newcomer at the office, Nakajima Atsushi , coupled with the fact that she had been a victim in the eyes of the Armed Detective Agency before becoming a client, Kunikida Doppo decided to accept the girl's commission without hesitation for long.

"I understand, it is indeed difficult for you to accept this kind of thing all at once... Then Mr. Gojo and I will go to the location given in the information first, and we will return to the west hall downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency around 16:00 in the afternoon. The restaurant 'Uzumaki' is waiting for your reply, is that okay?"

Miyako Eri didn't have time to say hello to Nakajima Atsushi. After receiving Kunikida Doppo's confirmation, she immediately grabbed Gojo Satoru and left. She had to grab Gojo Satoru and hurry up. Go to the warehouse near the port to investigate clues to save him from eating all the sweets served to guests in the office.

"Let's go, Mr. Gojo."

"Hi, hi... Eri-chan has been very resolute."

"Mr. Kunikida..."

After Miyako Eri left with Gojo Satoru, Nakajima Atsushi finally managed to get her. The story he told was straightened out, and now the expression on Kunikida Doppo's face was still a little subtle.

"What Eri-chan said..."

Kunikida Doppo was not as entangled as Nakajima Atsushi. Although he also had some doubts about the authenticity of the commission mentioned by Miyako Eri, he had already arranged for Tanizaki Junichiro to go there. A detailed investigation was conducted on the place where the incident occurred, and Miyazawa Kenji was also arranged to ask for clues from informants he wanted to be familiar with. At this time, he could still write the closing report of the previous task, the seal application for the contract, and the invoice. Regarding the reimbursement matter, when I heard Atsushi Nakajima’s question, I didn’t bother to raise my head,

“I don’t know whether what she said is true or false, but since she has given us a commission, in an attitude of being responsible to the client, regardless of the commission No matter how bizarre the content is, we will try our best to achieve the goal. "

This is a responsible and mature workplace person."

He said this, and then thought of a certain unobtrusive workplace person, and his lens flashed sharply, and at the same time, Nakajima was shocked. Atsushi couldn't help but shudder.

"Boy, don't be like that bastard Dazai. People like him who are irresponsible and just wait to die will only become irrecyclable garbage in the end!"

"Yes!"

Although I think Kunikida Doppo said a lot. It was a bit excessive, but Atsushi Nakajima still responded with the hair on his body standing on end.

How Mr. Dazai is viewed by his partners is his business!

As long as he knows that Mr. Dazai is a good person!

...Even if he is not a good person, at least he should be nice to him!

...Even if he tricked him, at least he gave me a helping hand!

"Creak -"

When Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the door of the Armed Detective Agency made a heavy wooden sound. A certain person involved in the topic opened the door with heavy steps and walked into the office step by step.

The person who came was still wearing the sand-colored outerwear that stayed with him, and was wet from head to toe. Even the soft black curly hair clung to his cheeks, making it impossible to see the other person's expression clearly.

"...Dazai...sir?"

Nakajima Atsushi looked at the visitor and asked in a questioning voice. Mr. Dazai looked strange... Could he have eaten some poisonous mushroom somewhere?

"Hey, Atsushi-kun, Kunikida-kun."

Osamu Dazai responded to Atsushi Nakajima, his tone as soft as usual with a bit of laziness, but his whole person was slightly different from what he usually saw.

Atsushi Nakajima frowned and stared carefully for a while, finally realizing that the bandage originally tied to Osamu Dazai's neck seemed to have spread to his entire face.

Because of this, the range in which his mouth can be opened is very small, so his voice is softer than before.

"D-Mr. Dazai...has he finally become a mummy?!"

Keenly aware of Dazai Osamu's changes, Nakajima Atsushi was startled even though he knew very well that there were no ghosts in this world, and couldn't help but go to He took a big step back and leaned against Kunikida Doppo.

"Mr. Kunikida!" Kunikida

Doppo, who had finally finished his multitasking, raised his head in displeasure and looked at Dazai Osamu, who had his entire face hidden behind a bandage. He was furious. ,

"You bastard, you finally know you're going to work today?!"

"You don't even look at what time it is now?!"

"A client came early in the morning-"

"Kunikida-kun," Dazai Osamu Interrupting Kunikida Doppo's rage, he raised his head and stared at Kunikida Doppo with his remaining eyes that were not tied with bandages. The deep light in those eyes made Kunikida Doppo's subsequent words suddenly stuck.

"What?" "

Dr. Yosano, are you in the infirmary today?"

Osamu Dazai bent his eyes, showing a friendly gesture, but there were still dark clouds in his eyes that were too thick to disperse.

"I have something I want to find her for."

Because the time interval was too long, Miyako Eri and Gojo Satoru went to the location provided by the port mafia to investigate, but found nothing. They ran back and forth in the warehouse near the port terminal. I searched all over and didn't detect the slightest smell of "pollution source", so I ran away in vain.

"Did he run away?"

Miyako Eri touched her head with a confused expression.

"Couldn't it be that someone took him away?" Hearing Miyako Eri's soliloquy, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but interrupt. He reasoned that Miyako Eri would think that the "source of pollution" had run away. Express curiosity.

Why would the other party think that the "source of pollution" is a living creature that can move freely?

"Intuition... Although I haven't seen a few 'pollution sources' until now."

Miyako Eri gave Gojo Satoru a very idealistic answer, but Gojo Satoru couldn't refute it.

After all, Miyako Eri's intuition can be regarded as a gift from the world to a certain extent.

What she calls "intuition" are mostly hints given by the world.

In other words... this time the "source of pollution" will indeed run away on its own.

The two of them were going to continue discussing something, but were soon interrupted by an unexpected call.

On the other end of the phone was the white-haired little tiger's breathless and frightened tone,

"E-Eri-chan, Mr. Dazai!"

Nakajima Atsushi's voice was loud, at least the one who was bending beside Miyako Eri Gojo Satoru heard it clearly, and then he whistled against Miyako Eri's death eyes.

"Oh, is he infected? He is so unlucky."
