Hong Kong and Black Undercover Ayanokoji's Handbook of Tool Man

Back to five days ago, in the red brick building on the slope, a young man was reading the latest series of mystery novels by the famous writer Henggou Masashi in the monthly reasoning magazine, and beside him was the Hanami dumpling he had just bought.In fact, he prefers Mitarai dango, but Mitarai dango in Yokohama is not as good as Hanami dango.

At this time, Tianshan Hanabou, who was sitting in the office and was in charge of operating the electronic data section, raised his head from his quilt.

"Mr. Edogawa, someone sent you an account number and password." Tianshan Huadai took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I checked that there is no virus, do you want to read it?" Said "You must not be able to solve this puzzle." ", it says so. "

"How can there be puzzles in this world that I, Mr. Ranpo, can't solve..." Edogawa Ranpo said perfunctorily, "I'll talk about it after I finish reading this article."

Because he participated in the American Reasoning Conference two years ago and played a detective game with a supernatural being named Edgar Allan Poe, Edogawa Ranpo became famous, and many people followed the vines to find the place where he was. The detective agency will send him puzzles from time to time.In the later period, after Edogawa didn't like to answer their puzzles, some people used the "radical method" to attract Edogawa into chaos.

Now, this kind of provocative method has been tired of.

From the corner of his eye, Edogawa Ranpo saw Tianshan Hanabou staring at him motionlessly, so he said, "What else did you say in the letter?"

"I didn't say anything, I just gave my e-mail address and password." Tianshan Hanabou said slowly, "Because I didn't find any virus, so I have already logged in. In the photo above, there are three or four hooligans who are stunned backpackers, Carrying people on the car, there is a sentence below asking "Do you know where this is?"? "

"so boring."

Edogawa Ranbu reached out to pick up a Hanami dumpling, and when he was putting it in his mouth, his movements froze, because Fukuzawa Yukichi who came out of the office was watching his movements.After Fukuzawa Yukichi noticed his gaze, he looked towards Tayama Hanabou, and Edogawa Ranpo immediately jumped up from his seat.

"Let me see, let me see."

When he took over, Edogawa ranpo looked at the original original, and it was indeed sent from the president's mailbox, otherwise the president would not have come here specifically to see their progress.

The other party sent it to the president's mailbox first, implying that he forwarded it to Edogawa Ranpo.So when Tianshan Hanabou was in charge of the mailbox files, it was a little strange to see the president's email, because usually the president gave direct verbal orders, and he would not use such a roundabout way of the mailbox, so he went to check the direction of the sender. After a while, in addition to finding the president's email, the first sender cleaned all his operation records with a virus.

"Where is this place?"

Tianshan Huadai couldn't see why, the background was a row of street trees, and some gangsters were moving a young man.

"Ikebukuro, Toshima District, Tokyo. Look at the shadow on the ground with the head of an owl mascot. The person who sent this email should be from Ikebukuro."

Hearing Edogawa Ranpo's answer, Tayama Hanaburo squinted his eyes and looked at the shadows of several people on the ground, and finally found an unnatural arc from the shadows. It seemed that it was indeed the shape of a bird, and it was not when he accidentally took the picture. It will get mixed in, that is, someone puts a p picture on it.But why Ikebukuro?

"Speaking of animals, there are different animal symbols in different places," Edogawa Ranpo didn't know what Tayama Hanabou didn't understand, "Kumamon bear, Saitama white pigeon, and Ibaraki skylark, Nagano Thunderbird, Ikebukuro's is an owl."

"Um……"

How can that irregular arc look like an owl's...

Tian Shan Hanabou decided not to dwell on this issue.

"Then why did the person who sent the letter live in Ikebukuro?"

"The permanent population of Ikebukuro is probably more than 1. It is mainly in the leisure and entertainment circles and business circles. There are many people coming and going. It is said that the number of passengers used every day can reach more than one million. It is the second busiest station in the world, but it is not. Few people who live here know that the owl is the mascot of Ikebukuro." Ranpo Edogawa said with a natural expression, "The person who made this question deliberately put this in means that he is from Ikebukuro, otherwise he can put it in. Other landmark products? If you don’t know something, would you know to put that thing on it?”

"..."

Tayama Hanaburo really felt that Edogawa Ranpo was extra patient today, was it because President Fukuzawa was following and staring at him all the time?

"Reply, let me see how many questions he can ask?"

After Tianshan Hanabou entered "Ikebukuro", the next question was presented in front of them in the form of an automatic reply.

"Do you know whose subordinates' subordinates' subordinates' subordinates they are?"

"Recently there seem to be a lot of disappearance cases in Ikebukuro." Fukuzawa Yukichi interjected, "Someone from Tokyo called to investigate this matter."

"There are two reasons for the disappearance. One is that they disappeared willingly, and the other is that they were forced to disappear. This is not the same. And if you call and ask, it means that the police received a missing report, which should be the majority People disappear voluntarily. The cases here are different.”

"What is voluntary disappearance?" Tianshan Hanakou asked.

"It's suicide, isn't there some people on the Internet who will gather people to commit suicide offline~" Edogawa Ranpo pointed to the screen and said, "Most of them have their own identities. If they disappear, their family members will notice immediately. They will call the police. But if they are backpackers, migrants, or children who run away from home, if their family members know their recent movements, they will not call the police and say they are missing in the short term. So this is the target of the gangsters in the photo. .”

Well, Edogawa talked about the different types of missing persons.

but--

"Subordinate's subordinate's subordinate?"

It's so hard to push back!

"Yagiri Pharmaceutical." Edogawa pushed Tianshan Hanabag and said, "Yagiri Pharmaceutical is conducting human experiments and needs these people. Next question."

Tianshan Hanabou was shocked: "Yagiri Pharmaceutical, isn't it the number one pharmaceutical company in Kanto? I used to take their cold medicine?" After hearing that they would not cooperate with the government, the situation plummeted. I didn't expect to start a human experiment oh, it's terrible, isn't it?

"Next."

"Excuse me, why did Shirato Pharmaceutical, which was listed on Yagiri Pharmaceutical's production transaction order 14 years ago, stop cooperating?"

"Closed." Edogawa said decisively.

However, Tianshan Hanabou found that after inputting, there is no software with automatic reply as imagined.

"It doesn't look right." Edogawa Ranpo touched his chin and said, "The pharmacist of Shirato Pharmaceutical is Koji Miyano, known as the "mad scientist". The husband and wife should have been poached by the Karasuma Group for the relationship of making the elixir. The answer should be "the cooperation did not stop, but changed to a different owner." "

It worked again.

However, Tianshan Hanabou has already begun to give up thinking.

For the next question, Tianshan Hanabou didn't think about it at all, and only regarded himself as a tool person responsible for inputting answers.

"What is the true identity of the Karasuma Group?"

"The Black Organization, a multinational organization also pursuing specialty drugs."

The questions went all the way to the end. I thought there would be more questions, but it turned out that there was only one sentence: "Thanks to Detective Edogawa Ranpo for your answer. In the name of the Armed Detective Agency, I have sent your answer to the organization responsible for investigating terrorist organizations." The police of the "Black Organization" took it.They will definitely thank you for the clues and start investigating Yagiri Pharmaceuticals in a short time. "

"What is this?" Edogawa Ranpo felt cheated, "What do you mean by "you must not be able to solve this puzzle", isn't it super simple? "

"But it's a good thing, the police can investigate Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, and you have answered the question of missing persons," said Tayama Hanabou.

However, not long after they finished talking, a long email was sent into the mailbox, as well as an invitation letter to Ikebukuro, and a photo of a 15-year-old boy--a boy with brown hair and golden eyes, with a dark red pendant on one ear Earrings, wearing a black suit, buying books in the bookstore.

"What do you mean?"

Tianshan Hanabou stared at the boy's photo with some doubts, and then looked at the content of the email.

"On next Monday, the quasi-gang cadre named "Ayanokōji Kiyotaka" in the photo will attend the meeting of the gang organization in the Kanto area for the plan to acquire Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, and will stay in the next fourteen days. Ikebukuro..." Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't know how this trend was going, and followed him to the computer screen, and unconsciously began to read in a deep voice, "...my topic is "Please find this boy true identity". "

"What's the problem? A missing person notice?" Tian Shan Hanakou asked, "I'll go find out who the sender is?"

"It should be "Ikebukuro informant Orihara Rinya". "Edogawa Ranbu propped his chin and started staring at the person in the photo, thinking, and said, "Since the plan to acquire Yagiri Pharmaceuticals is mentioned, and there are gangster organizations coming to snatch it.If they find out that there is a public security investigation in the middle, they will either hastily stop or act quickly, and the scene must be very chaotic.Orihara Lin also likes to do this kind of thing, so there is nothing to guess. "

"Then it doesn't matter?"

When Tianshan Hanabou was about to close it, Edogawa Luanpo grabbed his wrist, clicked on the boy on the screen and said: "But this is a good topic, I am interested in this boy! I can't see through him."

Ranpo Edogawa's eyes sparkled, as excited as if he had found a new puzzle.

"Give me a day, and I'll definitely find out who he is!"
