The Detective and The Strange Thief
Chapter 10
"Just send me back to the detective agency." Taizai lowered his head and fastened his seatbelt. "You should know the location, Central Plains Police … or Thief N?"
His nonchalant tone revealed an unquestionable certainty.
"When did you find out?" Chūya smiled. With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade was pressed against Taizai's neck.
Taizai did not dodge, allowing the tip of the knife to pierce his skin. Bright red blood flowed slowly along the dark blade. Surprisingly, there was a hint of interest in his expression. "Interesting, two people want to kill me. Today is really my lucky day."
"Then you really are a person favored by the Goddess of Luck." Chūya sneered. "But I still have a few questions to ask. After that, I'll send you on your way."
"Then you'd better hurry, and before that …" Taizai stretched out his index finger and gently touched the blade, pushing the cold dagger away.
"But I think that not only will you not kill me, but you'll also beg me in the tone of a rich lady."
"You can only be stubborn for now."
Chūya narrowed her eyes slightly, a dangerous light flashing in her icy blue eyes. "When you were being interrogated, I was a little curious, so I followed you to take a look.
I have to say, Taizai, it was an eye-opener for me, and I learned a lot from you. "
"What I'm thinking now is, as the inventor of these methods, I don't know how it will feel when I experience it myself." Chūya leaned closer to him. "What do you think, Taizai?"
"I don't think it's a good idea." Taizai wrinkled his nose. "Although I want to die, I don't want to suffer."
"Then answer my questions honestly."
Chūya suddenly moved. The dagger grazed Taizai's left ear and stabbed into the seat. "When did you find out?"
"It's hard not to notice … Even if you did disguise yourself a little that day, for example, those black contact lenses that still make me feel bad."
Taizai scrutinized Chūya from head to toe, making Chūya feel uncomfortable. "What I'm more curious about is how you managed to hide for so long and even become a police inspector in the Metropolitan Police Department. What are these policemen doing?"
"I'm also very curious about that."
"What about you? I don't believe that you got involved in this matter by chance. What is your purpose?" "What about you? I don't believe that you got involved in this matter by chance. What is your purpose?"
"Well …" Taizai looked a little embarrassed. "It's really a coincidence … Didn't I say that the worst thing to do is to have a bad financial situation?" His face clearly said "are you retarded?".
"Come on, I've seen your file. The youngest police officer in the history of the Metropolitan Police Department, the next police inspector candidate, suddenly chose to resign. There must be a reason."
"You're abusing your power," Taizai complained. "I'm a law-abiding citizen. You can look at my personal records as you please. The Japanese police are really screwed."
Chūya snorted.
"Because I can't get along with Mr. Mori."
Taizai blinked. "After all, he made me work overtime all day, and the missions were the kind I hated the most. He was also very strange …" When he said "strange," there was a meaningful look in his eyes. "Later, I felt that I couldn't continue working anymore, so I resigned."
"Ah, speaking of which, I was driven away by Mr. Mori. It's really annoying when I think about it."
Taizai muttered a few words in a low voice. Chūya listened patiently, but her frowning eyebrows and twitching mouth had already revealed everything.
"I said, can you stop this boring test?" Osamu Dazai pulled out the dagger and handed it to Chūya.
Chūya frowned and put it away.
Taizai adjusted his seat and lay back comfortably. "Tell me, did I pass your test?"
"If you didn't, do you think you're still alive?"
"That's true."
Taizai thought for a moment. "But, what kind of problem can't even be solved by Monster N? Why do you need a small detective like me?"
"You've seen this case. Someone deliberately framed me, but this is not an accident, nor is it the first time." Nakahara Chūya's expression became serious for the first time. "It started half a year ago."
"Hmm?"
"Half a year ago, I just came back from Italy."
Nakahara Chūya thought for a moment. "At that time, people began to impersonate me and commit crimes. I couldn't find the main point of the investigation, and there was one time when I almost exposed myself."
"This incident is the closest I've come to this conspiracy."
Nakahara Chūya thought for a moment. "Do you still remember what Seven Seas said under the bridge?"
"Yes." Taizai nodded. "Let's assume that what you said is true for the time being …"
Their phones rang at the same time. They looked at each other and took out their phones. The messages they received were the same.
It was a message from Kokida. There was a photo and a line of words on the LINE.
"Seven Seas is dead …" Chūya took a deep breath and punched the steering wheel.
"Yes." Taizai clicked on the picture of the crime scene sent by Kokida and gasped.
"This is too …"
The photo was splattered with blood, and Seven Seas' body was also pixelated. Even so, it was the kind of picture that would make one unable to sleep well for a month.
"According to Kokida," Chūya's expression became more serious. "During the interrogation, Seven Seas' head suddenly exploded. Everyone in the interrogation room was shocked.
However, no one was injured. It seems that Seven Seas had been implanted with a miniature bomb. Once he was exposed, he would … "
"It seems that this matter is not as simple as it seems."
Taizai crossed his arms and leaned against the seat. The smile in his brown eyes had completely disappeared. "Who on earth did you offend?"
"I don't know." Nakahara Chūya's answer was straightforward. "I've offended so many people. How would I know?"
"What he said makes sense. I can't refute him." Taizai paused for a few seconds before continuing.
"So, what you mean is that you want to use this opportunity to ferret out that group of people."
"That's right. It's not a good idea to keep being schemed against by them."
Nakahara Nakajima also admitted, "They used my name to steal or frame me, it's nothing more than to blow me out of the water.
In that case, I might as well beat them at their own game. "
"Well, it's a good idea." Taizai said slowly. "Now, you want to rope me in?"
"Didn't you say before that you lack a partner?"
"But, even if I help you, what benefits do I get?"
Taizai yawned. "Their target is not me. I don't want to be involved in such a troublesome matter."
"Tell me your conditions." Nakahara Chūya seemed to have expected this reaction.
"No, no, goodbye."
"Taizai, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." Nakahara Chūya snorted. "Do you think you can still run away at this point?"
"It doesn't matter." Taizai leisurely rested his head on his arms. "Even if you kill me, it's just fulfilling my wish to commit suicide.
But that group of people will continue to pester you until you're completely exposed. "
"The one in trouble has always been you, not me."
"You …" Chūya was short of breath.
"I say, you seem to have forgotten something." Taizai suddenly sat up. "Do you remember what we said when we first got in the car?
If you change your attitude and ask me for help, I'll consider it. "
"You bastard, don't go too far …" Chūya gritted his teeth. "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you after using you?"
"Of course …" Taizai dragged his tone and looked at Chūya with a smile.
"I'm not afraid."
"You …" Chūya's cheeks were hot. "You …"
Taizai smiled.
"Please, can you investigate this matter with me?"
Zhong Ye glared at the Grand Chancellor for a long while before he finally pinched his throat and opened his mouth. His voice was so soft that it made him feel extremely ashamed.
After he finished speaking, Chūya's face turned red. He immediately turned his head and looked out the window. He just wanted to find a place to hide.
"I didn't expect this person to have such a sweet and beautiful voice …" Taizai thought as he reached out his hand.
"No problem, please take care of me, partner."
"Please, please take care of me."
Chūya reached out and shook Taizai's hand. Although both of them were smiling, Taizai's smile became more and more stiff. Beads of sweat could even be seen on his forehead.
"By the way."
"Hmm?"
