8. Lost Memories
The man in front of him was already seriously injured and dying, so he and Akako Akatsuki directly activated his extraordinary ability.
Although the injury on the other party was cured, his consciousness had not yet recovered. Considering that there might be some major cases hidden behind this injury, the people from the armed detective agency took Nagataro Mizuno and the "granddaughter" he picked up.
When they arrived at the detective agency, Dazai Osamu was lying on the sofa in the hospitality area to pretend to be dead. He heard the movement from the door, and he stuck his head out and looked out.
With a glance, he saw the face of the injured person who was carried by Kokida alone on his back.
Dazai Osamu got up from the sofa with a "scarlet" and took two steps at a time, and soon walked closer.
"Oh my God!" He saw the large bloodstains on the other party and exaggeratedly exaggeratedly, like a drama actor, and said in pain: "Who is so cruel to do such a cruel thing to such a beautiful beauty!"
He and Akano's mouth twitched, pressed his face and tweaked it to the side, and said disgustedly: "Don't block the way!"
"Mmmmm!"
Kunikida put the person on his back on the bed in the infirmary.
Akiko Akano glanced at the yukata soaked in blood on each other's body, and drove the men who followed him out of the infirmary without hesitation, then called Naomi Tanizaki to prepare to change the injured person's clean clothes.
Kurokida Dubu and others who were rushed to the outside office to wait, began to ask Mizuno Nagataro when and where he picked up the injured.
Mizuno Nagataro sighed and said, "I found the fountain in the alley near our house at around 8 o'clock this morning."
Kunikida recorded the time and place alone.
Mizuno Nagataro smiled bitterly and continued: "In order to subsidize the family income, this child always goes to some nighttime entertainment venues to work. I am worried about her safety and talks about her several times, but this child just doesn't listen..."
Tanizaki Junichiro and Kokikida looked at each other alone, feeling that the old man really regarded the injured person he picked up as his granddaughter Mizuno Izumi.
but……
"Nighttime entertainment venue?" Tanizaki Junichiro captured the keyword, which they had never learned before. "Do you know where Miss Mizuno works?"
Nagataro Mizuno thought hard and made a memory: "She said it was introduced by a senior sister. The other party's brother opened a bar where she worked as a waiter. The location... I heard it seemed to be near Factory Avenue, but I don't know where it is."
Kunikida Dubu recorded it again - perhaps it will be helpful for solving the case of Mizunoizumi.
Before they could continue asking, suddenly, the door of the infirmary was opened from the inside and walked out with strange expressions with Akiko Akatsuko Tanizaki.
Hearing the movement, Junichiro Tanizaki looked back and said in surprise: "So fast?"
Pay attention to the wrong expression on their faces, Kunokida asked alone: "What's wrong?"
Naomi Tanizaki did not answer, but instead glanced at Nagataro Mizuno, who looked nervous.
The latter asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Has my granddaughter woke up?"
Naomi Tanizaki was about to say something, but was grabbed by Akiko Yasuno.
She said to Mizuno Nagataro: "She hasn't woken up yet, but her clothes are all soaked in blood. The spare clothes we have are not as good as her size. I just wonder if you can go there..."
Mizuno Nagataro immediately understood: "I'll go back and get Izumi's clothes!"
After saying that, he stood up with the table, walked towards the door with one step.
He and Akiko Yukino called Junichiro Tanizaki and asked him to drive to accompany the old man.
"Okay." Tanizaki Junichiro responded, trotted up and held Mizuno Nagataro's back, and said, "I'll go with you."
After the two left the detective agency, Kunokida only pushed his glasses and looked at Akiko Akano: "What the hell is going on?"
He and Akako Akano pointed at the infirmary behind him with a thumbs up, and said in a nutshell: "What granddaughter, it's obviously a boy."
“…”
“???”
"Boys?!!"
Kunokida Dubu and Dazai Osamu opened their eyes wide in surprise.
Edogawa, who was dozing off on an office chair, suddenly woke up by their loud shouts.
He hugged Akiko Akatsuko with both hands on her chest and said in confusion: "Kukida, didn't you carry people all the way? Why didn't you find this problem?"
"..." Kunikida Dubu was speechless.
Dazai Osamu covered his mouth and snickered: "It's probably the first time I'm so close to a girl, so I'm sorry to focus on some places, right?"
"...Ahem!" Kunikida cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "This is not the key to the problem, right?"
"Oh, by the way." As if Akiko Akano remembered something, she turned her head and said to Naomi Tanizaki, "I asked your brother to buy him a box of underwear on the way back. She is about 1.5 meters tall and very thin."
"Okay." Naomi Tanizaki took out her cell phone and quickly sent an email to her brother.
"But... if you are a boy, if you are a boy, take this opportunity to tell me, will it just make Grandpa Mizuno give up?" After sending the email, Naomi Tanizaki said in confusion, "Why do you have to send him away instead?"
Kunikida Dubu could understand what Akiko Akano did. He rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "He can treat a high-end uniform as his granddaughter and say that we are the 'big bad guy who curses his granddaughter'. You said we told him that the person in the infirmary was a boy, would he believe it?"
Naomi Tanizaki choked: "It seems that this is the reason..."
He spread his hands with Akeko Samo: "No matter how much we say, it is better for the person involved to deny it. So when the child wakes up, let him tell Mr. Mizuno in person."
“That’s right.”
However, the members of the detective community who had such an idea did not expect the next dramatic development.
Before Quan woke up, he had a bizarre dream.
Everything in the dream is what he has experienced.
When he was five years old, he sat on the threshold with his bowls and chopsticks in his arms, took a bite of food and looked at the sky outside, and asked the person who delivered him what it looked like outside.
The other party ignored him.
Quan was not discouraged. He asked this question every day when the other party came to deliver food.
Perhaps because he was impatient when asked, the other party finally answered, saying, "Why are you asking so many questions? There are so many wars outside. A little devil as big as you can take a knife and go to the battlefield. Now you can have food to eat without doing anything, and you are not satisfied?"
After hearing this, Quan laughed: "I heard that you are unhappy outside, so I am so happy that I am locked up here."
The Uchiha tribe who was delivering the meal was so angry that he scolded him: "I am heartless and ungrateful!"
The next day, Uchiha Izuna appeared in front of Izumi.
The scene turned here and suddenly jumped to the scene when Quan was fifteen years old.
He wrote a letter to Uchiha Izuna, and at the end he mentioned inadvertently that he had grown a lot taller recently. He also joked with the other party, would he become the tallest guitar in Youkuo? Even if he can only grow to 1.7 meters in the future, when he was in the courtesan path, he stepped on three turtles with a height of 20 to 30 cm. He looked like a "giant" who was two meters tall?
In that era, people were generally low in height. Although wearing three tall pieces of shining in the courtesan road, it meant that the courtesan was "above the best", if the courtesan was tall, it would be amazing to think about it.
Uchiha Izuna quickly replied to him a letter, attached a pill, and instructed the tribe members guarding Izumi to watch him swallow it with their own eyes.
The man even carefully checked Izumi's mouth and confirmed that he had really taken the pills, then he handed the letter to Izumi as Uchiha Izumina's instructions.
There is only one simple sentence in the letter: Now you don’t have to worry about becoming a “giant” in Huajie.
The implication is that you can stay there for me.
After that, Quan never grew taller than even one centimeter. Similarly, he died of the heart that left Huajie early.
Interestingly, a year later, the news of Uchiha Izuna's death reached Izumi's ears. With one, it was also a secret letter written by the other party, asking Izumi to find an opportunity to leave Huajie and assist Uchiha Madara.
If it weren't for the fact that there were Uchiha tribes guarding him around him, it would be no exaggeration to say that Izumi would laugh all day long.
Izumi once told Uchiha Madara that his Sharingan was only activated after learning about Uchiha Izumi Na's death, which is indeed true. But Izumi's feeling of being happy because the other party died is also true.
After that, Izumi dreamed of a shocking battle between Uchiha Madara and Chiju Hashimara.
Finally, I dreamed of Chihou Tobima, and the long sword that suddenly stabbed him into the back...
"Click"
The picture in my mind was like glass hit by a hard object, cracking out the lines like spider webs. Then another heavy blow, the overwhelmed glass shattered inch, and colorful memory fragments fell all over the ground.
When he dreamed of this, he suddenly woke up.
After waking up, he found himself lying on a soft bed, facing the snow-white ceiling, and his mind was blank.
At this time, a strange female voice suddenly came from his ear: "You are awake."
Quan looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a girl with long hair.
As soon as he saw someone, he subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth: "Hello, may I ask..."
His voice was dry and hoarse. When Naomi Tanizaki heard this, she told him not to talk in a hurry. She poured him a glass of water and asked, "Do you want me to help you get up?"
Quan shook his head, lifted the quilt, and slowly got up.
Naomi Tanizaki handed him the water cup and saw that he held it steadily, then said, "Drink first, I'll tell them you're awake." After that, he turned around and walked out.
them……?
Quan looked at her leaving back in confusion, then moved her gaze to the water cup in her hand.
He was indeed very thirsty at this moment, but he did not rush to drink water. Instead, he subconsciously put the cup under his nose and sniffed it gently.
There is no problem with water.
Only after reaching such a conclusion did he feel relieved to drink water.
Most of the bright sunlight was blocked by the medical folding screen, leaving only a few beams of light, which drilled in through the gaps in the folding screen, poured onto the bed, reflecting one or two spots of light.
Quan held the cup in one hand and reached out with the other, as if he wanted to hold the beam of light up.
At this moment, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Before Quan could react, the screen in front of him was knocked violently and the spot in his hand naturally moved to the position.
He looked at the old man who appeared in front of him, with a little confusion in surprise.
"you……"
"Izumi! You are finally awake!" Mizuno Nagataro's eyes suddenly turned red, and he rushed over and hugged his "granddaughter", and said in a choked voice, "Grandpa is really worried about you!"
spring……?
Hearing this title, he put one hand on the old man's back with a blank expression and said blankly: "This name... are you calling me?"
When they came from behind, the detective agency who happened to hear this sentence looked at each other.
How come you have a...wonderful premonition?
