【Taizhong】The Aesthetics of Legs

Chapter 15

An unknown number was displayed on the phone, and Zhong Yuan looked around at the police officers who were anxious like ants on a hot pot, and walked out silently.

"Did you—kill that bastard?" Leaning at the corner of the corridor, Zhong Yuanzhong also lit a cigarette.

"...No." A hoarse voice came from the opposite side, panting unsteadily, as if he was nervous about something, "Mr. Zhongyuan, I have always wanted to talk to you... ...."

Zhong Yuanzhong also took a puff of cigarette, his ice-blue eyes blurred and sharp behind the white smoke, he flicked the cigarette butt, interrupting the meaningless words of the other party: "I told you so, now I am The person you tied to your hand is a habitual suicide, even if you kill him, it will only satisfy his wish."

"I don't care whether he wants to die or not!" The other party's voice suddenly became louder, with hidden anger, like a child who was neglected and embarrassed, "I, I just want to talk to you for a while... ..."

Is this person out of his mind?Zhong Yuanzhong also rubbed his temples.But at least now it is certain that the target of the leg thief is still him.

"I know where you are. I can even smell your scent. It smells like wine and tobacco. Do you know Shenqi? Yes, you must! Shenqi is the fresh jasmine fragrance. ...and, and your legs. Ugh, I've never felt this way about a man, but every time I see your figure and eyes, I can't help but gasp for breath. I have to admit that you are very special, Mr. Zhongyuan." The other party took a deep breath intoxicated, causing Zhongyuan Zhongya to pull the phone away from his ear in disgust.

"I really really want to meet you in person..." At this point, the other party's tone became low, and the chaotic breath gradually leveled off, "But I understand that I am not your opponent, so I will not let you down a little bit." After a long detour, I met your partner first."

"What?" Nakahara Zhong also mocked, "Do you think I will meet you for him? Stop joking..."

"If you don't come, I will kill him directly. This is not a joke." The other party said very sincerely.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also silent, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it, lowered his head slightly, his eyes were hidden behind the hair, making it unreal: "You bastard, are you threatening me?"

Suddenly there was no sound on the phone, I don't know if he was overwhelmed by the murderous intent in Zhongye's tone.

"If you have the feeling, you can kill that guy, but remember, I will find you, not only that, but I will also remove the bones from your body piece by piece."

There was the sound of swallowing saliva on the phone, and the next second it turned into a busy tone of hanging up.

Negotiations failed.

......

Does this guy totally take him for an idiot?Do you think that without Osamu Dazai, he would be mentally retarded and be tied up?Zhong Yuanzhong also walked into the office with a slumped face, and the low air pressure around him made everyone shudder.

"Nan, let's make a deal." He walked in front of Nan Mucun and raised his mobile phone, "The murderer called me just now, and you should be able to find the approximate place to call by following the number."

Hearing this, the police officers in the whole office were all erupted, and Nanmu Village's eyes were even more wide-eyed.Black Sheep does not share information with the police. This is the rule. If there is no deal, they have nothing to do.

However, passive transactions are often not equivalent. Even if precious information is right in front of you, you cannot be careless.He touched his chin: "What are the terms of the transaction? Remove the restrictions on the black sheep?"

To be honest, although Dazai Osamu, one of the black sheep, is now in the hands of the murderer, and to a certain extent he has the same interests as Chuya Nakahara, but the revocation of this matter is not something he can decide on his own. Meaning too high.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter anyway, I'm not representing the 'black sheep'." Contrary to Nanmucun's expectation, Nakahara Chuya was unexpectedly not very concerned about this matter.I saw the other party's fingers moved slightly, and the mobile phone that was originally placed on the fingertips returned to his palm, and then it was firmly placed in Nan Mucun's hand: "The condition is very simple, you lock the location and catch the murderer. give it to me."

Of course, how to catch, when to catch, and the final outcome of the murderer are all up to him.

Nan Kimura's eyes shuttled back and forth between the mobile phone in his hand and Nakahara Chuya. He has no ability to predict the future, and cannot judge whether the decision he is making now must be correct.The black sheep can't be trusted, he told himself.

"Deal." Nan Mucun nodded.

here is......

Qiu Daimei opened her eyes slightly, and the first thing she saw was the gray concrete floor, with the fine gravel trembling in front of her eyelashes.

It's dark, it's all around, it's dark.

The blurred vision gradually became clear. Qiu Daimei blinked vigorously, and felt soreness in her hands. She tried to twist, but she couldn't move at all.

What? !She woke up all of a sudden, looking around, it was full of strange and empty scenes.

"Ah, did you sleep well, Miss Qiu Dai?" A high-pitched and familiar voice came from beside my ear.

"Mr. Dazai..." Qiu Daimei raised her head in a daze, while Dazai, who was also tied up beside her, squinted and smiled at her. The bright smile on his face instantly made Qiu Daimei think that all this was just nothing. It's the other party's prank.

"I didn't sleep well." After speaking, the other party sighed again, "Thanks to a certain kidnapper."

These words immediately hit Qiu Daimei's nerves, and the place where she was hit on the head before started to ache again, she struggled to sit up: "What? Are we being kidnapped? Who the hell... .”

"It's what we call a leg thief."

"What...!" Qiu Daimei seemed to have received a huge shock, her lips trembling slightly.Of course she would be like this, and anyone who falls on a well-known serial killer will be horrified.What the other party wants is definitely not money, but something more expensive and unpayable.

What he wants may be their lives.

"I'm so sorry!"

Osamu Dazai looked at Aki Yoyomi who suddenly apologized with a very surprised look.

There was no cry of fear, no cry of despair. At this time, Qiu Daimei was not worried about her own safety first.She seemed to reflexively think that the leg thief shot her in order to get information from the police, and Osamu Dazai was just "involved" in it.

"If I hadn't invited you to my house, you probably wouldn't have been attacked on that road, and if I had been more useful, you wouldn't have been caught here!" She hid her expression under her heavy glasses, guiltily As if to shrink into a ball.

"No, it's not that serious..." Osamu Dazai comforted him softly, "Isn't it a wonderful thing that we can die together?"

......

......

"Please be more serious at this time..." Until now, Akiyomi couldn't understand why Osamu Dazai was so obsessed with suicide. She subconsciously said, "Why is Mr. Dazai so obsessed with death?"

We all want to be alive, to breathe, to think, to feel.The satisfaction of eating food, the pleasure of inhaling the fragrance of flowers, the happiness of loving and being loved, these are all things based on being alive and away from the nothingness of death.

Osamu Dazai squinted his eyes and smiled, but did not answer.

There is a field deep in everyone's heart that others cannot set foot in. There are all kinds of things in it. Those that can be exposed to the sun will take root and sprout, and grow branches and leaves to show others; those that cannot be exposed are hidden in the darkness. In, let it bend into ugly form, until it rots, but does not sink.

The branches and leaves used to show people are flashy things after all, and everyone's true self may inhabit that twisted tree.In this sense, everyone is alone.

In order to break this deadly loneliness and gain freedom from the inside out, Osamu Dazai has been playing the role that everyone loves since he was a child, secretly trying to figure out the other party's psychology and make use of it.

Of course... the result was that he was severely beaten.

[I only saw a coward, a coward who was afraid of being hurt by others and pretended to be himself! 】

The young man holding his collar had a pair of eyes as clear as sea water, filled with contempt and anger, and then swung his fist at him without hesitation.

If it was wrong to live like that, how on earth should he live rightly?

Osamu Dazai looked up at the dusty ceiling, where cobwebs were intertwined, and gray traces were lingering in his eyes.And behind him, a silver blade danced on his dexterous fingertips.

"The location of the number is locked."

The information technician who was staring at the computer screen said while typing on the keyboard quickly, he double-clicked the mouse to open the specific information column, "It is in a rental building near the pier in the west, but it is not possible to determine whether the prisoner is with the hostages or not." .”

Nakahara Nakaya was originally sitting on Nanmu Village's desk looking through the documents about the case, but upon hearing this, he immediately threw the documents aside and jumped down, his leather shoes making a crisp "clang" sound on the floor: "He and Dazai rule them together."

"How can you be so sure?" Nan Mucun frowned unhappily as he saw the materials he had carefully sorted out messed up by the other party.

"Hunters always stand by the bait, don't they, even though that man is not a qualified bait." Zhong Yuanzhong also picked up his coat with his backhand and strode towards the door.The hat chain made a crackling sound with his movements, making everyone who heard it get goosebumps.

Just now, there was something different about Nakahara Chuya, and something frightening emerged.A pitch-black liquid that flows through the blood vessels of the whole body, something that erupts in the filth.

He stopped at the door and waved his back to a room full of people.

"I will try my best to keep alive."

He—the leg thief known by the world, and the imitator known by Chuya Nakahara, Takeuchi Yuichi looked around back and forth to confirm that he was not being followed before crouching down into the narrow corridor.The harsh sunlight outside was blocked by the walls, only the damp and salty sea breeze penetrated into his nostrils, making him sneeze loudly.

Because it is located on the edge of the pier, the walls of the building have long been eroded by the sea wind, and the walls are peeling off and have long spots.It is not enough to say that it is completely abandoned. The unique location and environment here have always attracted all kinds of criminals: hidden, inconspicuous, and easy to transport "commodities" by sea.

Takeuchi Yuichi only took action when it was "idle". Even though outsiders called him a "cold-blooded, ruthless, mentally abnormal serial killer", he dared not compete with organized and well-known people. For some people, this building can only be secretly "borrowed".

His low self-esteem is innate, and it cannot be cured by killing.

There is a utility room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. No one has used it all year round. It is extremely dirty and messy, but the double doors are extremely strong.As long as it is fastened from the outside with a thick iron chain, the people inside will not be able to break open even if it is a gladiator.Moreover, there are no windows in the house, only a fist-sized ventilation hole in the northwest corner, which greatly reduces the risk of hostages escaping.

In a sense, this is the perfect hiding place.

He and Zhong Yuanzhong also talked on the phone, and he conveyed his voice to the other party.Takeuchi Yuichi walked towards the utility room, his heart was surging, and he habitually rubbed the pendant on his chest.This must be the courage that Shenqi gave him. In the past, he would not even dare to hope.

Zhong Yuan also only thought that he hung up the phone because of fear, but he didn't know that he hung up the phone in a hurry because he was so excited that he didn't know how to answer the call, and was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the other party.He said he would come to see him, he said he would come to see him!All he could think about was this information, and all threatening words were forgotten.

That Zhongyuan Zhong also said that he wanted to see him!

Oops!He forgot to tell him where they met!How should they meet!Takeuchi Yuichi's face was pale, he actually forgot such an important thing.But it’s okay to call later, now we need to check the situation of the hostages.If something went wrong with them, Zhong Yuanzhong might refuse to meet him, which he absolutely didn't want to see.

He took out the key from his pocket, first opened the big lock with the iron chain, and then untied the chain wrapped around the doorknob round and round.The sound of a heavy metal falling to the ground sounded, and he gently pushed the door open.

——The room was empty, Takeuchi Yuichi couldn't believe his eyes.

The lock was not broken, but the two people inside disappeared as if they had evaporated, just a short while after he went out.

No, he had to calm down, and he took out a revolver from his pocket—he got it from Akira Mei.It is impossible for them to escape from this room, they must be hiding in some corner, most likely behind the door.

But which one is it, the left?right?Or alone?He racked his brains thinking about what he would do if he were Osamu Dazai.

There was movement from behind the door on the left, his hands trembled, and he immediately shot towards that door. The sound of the gun was deafening. At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind the door on the right, and started to snatch him away without saying a word. His pistol is actually quite powerful.

"Let go! Woman!" Takeuchi fired a few more shots at the floor, and hit the opponent's face with an elbow backwards. Akimi leaned back in pain, her glasses shattered and fell to the ground, her hands Still holding the pistol.

Damn it, just as Takeuchi Yuichi was about to do it again, a piece of cold stuff stuck to the back of his head, and he suddenly stopped moving.

"This blade can't cut someone's throat, but it's more than enough to pierce your brain." Osamu Dazai's voice was behind his ear, "Do you need me to try?"

Takeuchi took a deep breath, but he didn't show any sign of shrinking back. Instead, he began to tremble angrily: "Really... It's almost a success, why are one or two getting in the way!?"

Dazai didn't speak.

"Hehe, Mr. Dazai." Takeuchi gasped, "A person like you is not suitable for talking to people with a knife. Really, I thought you would come up with something more unexpected to threaten me, but it turned out It still ended up in such an embarrassing end." As soon as the words fell, Takeuchi Yuichi freed a hand to hold the gun, and grabbed Osamu Dazai's arm with his backhand, ignoring the danger of the blade sticking to his brain, he smashed it hard.

Osamu Dazai's face lost all color in an instant.

"Mr. Dazai!" Qiu Daimei still had injuries on her face, but she desperately tried to snatch the gun from her hand.

"Don't get in the way, bitch!" Takeuchi roared, and punched Aki Daiomi in the lower abdomen, and Aki Daiomi knelt down.

Really, everything was messed up, Takeuchi took a breath and straightened his clothes, Dazai decided to keep them for now, so the female police officer should be killed first, so as to avoid one more person and more trouble.

Qiu Daimei didn't know that the catastrophe was imminent at this time, she just felt a colic in her abdomen as if something was churning inside.Her hair was pulled up suddenly, her eyes blurred, and Takeuchi Yuichi rode on it.

"You, what are you going to do! Let me go!! Let me go!" Akiyomi screamed and slapped Takeuchi Yuichi's chest. Beautiful forehead.

The sound of small metal parts slowly snapping together rang in my ears.

"Please... let me go..." Qiu Daimei looked at the gun barrel held in front of her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

There was no clarity in Takeuchi Yuichi's eyes, he looked indifferently at Aki Daimi's crying face, and suddenly thought of Kanzaki Yuriko, who was trembling in his arms like this back then, saying the same words.

[Please, let me go. 】

Why run away?Didn't you smile at me? Why do you want me to let you go now?He pulled the trigger, but what followed was not the sound of gunshots and splattered brains, but a mechanical sound.

Out of ammo.

He threw away the revolver in disappointment, and instead put his hands on Qiu Liumei's neck, and the throbbing blood vessels in his hands were very cute.

At this moment, Qiu Daimei glanced at him suddenly, there was something endless in that gaze, which made him stunned for a moment, but then he put aside this strange feeling, and gradually exerted strength with his hands.

It's okay, you won't be in pain any longer.He didn't want to kill her originally, but for his wish, her life had to be taken.

It would have been better if I had been obedient, so these are really stupid people...

He raised his scarlet eyes to look at Osamu Dazai, wanting to see how his companion would react when he was killed in front of him, but unexpectedly, the other party was smiling.

Smiling so happily, like a child who has succeeded in a trick.

Oops!

There was a gust of wind blowing by my ears, and then everything that followed was clearly audible, the sound of ear bones cracking, eardrums rupturing, skulls squeezing, and leather shoes rubbing against my face.

With his face as the center of force, he flew to the side and slammed into the iron door heavily.

Qiu Daimei was breathing greedily, and the air was crazily shuttling through her trachea. She looked at the person standing behind the backlight in front of her, and called out uncertainly: "Mr. Zhongyuan?"

Nakahara Nakaya looked at Akiyomi who was clutching her neck, and then at Takeuchi Yuichi who was standing next to him with his hands on the ground and trying to stand up again. He walked over, stepped on the opponent's shoulder unceremoniously, and pressed him back to the ground.

"Hey, isn't this the person I saw in the hospital last time?" Zhong Yuanzhong said without emotion, and stepped hard, "I told you, I will remove your bones when I see you." Takeuchi Yuichi raised his head and wanted to look at Nakahara Chuya, but judging from his current posture, it was too reluctant. He could only puff and breathe, and uttered intermittent syllables: "Mr. Nakahara... ...you, you came to see me..."

His tone was mixed with excitement and gratitude, and he didn't care about the pain on his body at all.

"What an interesting person, isn't he?" Osamu Dazai patted the windbreaker and stood up, looking refreshed and able to move his arms freely, "Although it's a bit nauseating."

"Your hand..." Takeuchi Yuichi was dumbfounded.

"Ah, did you say that?" Osamu Dazai pulled out a broken wooden stick from his sleeve with a smile on his face. The sound of breaking his arm just now was actually made by this wooden stick. What is this utility room really? There are all of them. "

"You bastard, I'm sure I'll come at this time, right?" Nakahara Nakaya looked at the gun on the ground, and stared at Osamu Dazai with extremely displeased eyes.It's like using people like shepherd dogs, this hateful guy.

According to the usual kidnapping scene, the difficulty of rescue will be greatly increased, so it is better to disrupt Takeuchi Yuichi's plan internally to facilitate external rescue.Taking Agent Akimi as a bait, Takeuchi Yuichi used up the five standard bullets provided by the quasi-police ahead of time, which not only guaranteed the life of Agent Akimi, but also prolonged the waiting time for Chuya Nakahara.

This man's character is really bad.

"We're partners, isn't there a tacit understanding?" Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets, his eyes narrowed with a smile.Then he walked up to Qiu Daimei and held out his hand to her:

"I'm sorry Miss Akiyo, I may have surprised you."

"W-Where?" Qiu Daimei really looked like she hadn't recovered from her senses, she held Dazai Osamu's hand, and stood up tremblingly, not knowing that she had been counted into it just now... ...

When Nanmu Village arrived, he also brought Mr. Akiyo over.He didn't wear women's clothes this morning, but a simple white T-shirt and jeans.Seeing that the daughter who had been missing for a long time was safe and sound, he hugged her and began to cry bitterly. Even Agent Qiumei whispered "pain" a few times and he didn't respond.

Qiu Daimei insisted on refusing to go to the hospital. She said that the injuries on her face were trivial, and that her father was mentally unstable, so she should take him home as soon as possible.It was rare for Nan Mucun to pat her on the shoulder with eyes of admiration and guilt: "You did a good job this time."

Osamu Dazai leaned against the corner and yawned lazily, the red and blue interlaced lights of the police lights made his eyes sore.When the medical staff came just now, he caused a little commotion again, because he was clearly unharmed but strongly demanded treatment, and Zhong Yuanzhong didn't need to go through his brain to know what he was thinking about the nurse.

In the end, the medical staff shamelessly put Osamu Dazai in a plaster cast and wrapped his hands into dumplings according to his requirements, and listened to the suicide tutorial for a long time in a daze.

Zhong Yuan also intends to send Qiu Daimei and her father back to the residence.

Now it can be confirmed that there are a total of two leg thieves, and the crisis has not been completely resolved. It is indeed the safest to be escorted by Zhongya Zhongyuan.

"Chuya." Dazai Osamu's voice came from behind, with a bit of hesitation in it.Chuya Nakahara turned his head, and Osamu Dazai was mingled in the shadows of intertwined police officers, his figure was so blurred that he would disappear if he was not careful.Let the Central Plains also have a strange feeling as if he had hallucinated, the gap between the other side and the present world.
