Troublemakers come to Yokohama

A trick is actually a kind of magic trick.Once exposed, the truth is very simple and childish. —— Edogawa Ranpo "Phantom Castle Lord"

【Beside Yokohama City Armed Detective Agency】September 28 at [-]:[-] a.m.

Edogawa Ranpo followed the president and walked out.

"I want to eat red bean mochi—" Edogawa said in a drawn-out voice.

There is still some time before the agreement in the letter.Fukuzawa Yukichi had no choice but to take him to a tea shop he frequented.

Although I feel that I will encounter a lot of trouble today, but it's great to be able to go out with the president for a long time!

Edogawa Ranpo showed a super happy expression.

"No one can control Ranpo except Fukuzawa."This is the consensus of both members of the armed detective agency and clients outside the agency.

Edogawa Ranpo has always been very attached to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

It can be said that Fukuzawa Yukichi saved Edogawa Ranpo many years ago and let him understand the truth of "the world is a stupid child".From that day on, Edogawa Ranpo was no longer afraid, and made up his mind to protect this place.This intelligent child has since used his talent as a detective—[Super Reasoning], which is also the beginning of the Armed Detective Agency.

Therefore, Edogawa Ranpo admires Fukuzawa Yukichi very much, and listens to him very much, except for eating snacks.

Edogawa Ranpo has already ordered six bowls of red bean mochi.

Even the guests next to them secretly glanced at them in surprise.

Fukuzawa Yukichi felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do about Edogawa Ranpo.A few years have passed, no matter what he says, Luanbu always uses the trick of cheating in the tea shop to act coquettishly-admit his mistakes and never correct them.Fukuzawa Yukichi had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

The key is that Edogawa Ranpo only eats the sweet sandwich of red bean mochi, and never eats the skin.Fukuzawa Yukichi has never been able to understand why he didn't just order Konpeito?What's more, he always doesn't drink tea with tea fruit.

People who are different from ordinary people always attract attention——

Fukuzawa Yukichi was used to being watched by others.He was just a little worried about Ranbu's sweet tooth, but he didn't show it on his face, his expression was as calm as ever.

The tea in front of Fukuzawa Yukichi has been exhausted.And Edogawa Ranpo ordered the seventh bowl of red bean mochi, buried in the heaven of red bean mochi, and said to him:

"President, President, can you buy me a new flavor of bozi soda? I just got it yesterday, so the taste this time must be super delicious! The vending machine just past the corner sells it, then The staff on the side are super diligent, and the inventory is updated every weekend."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Edogawa Ranpo, fearing that he would be thirsty after eating six bowls of sweet fruit, so he nodded.He slowly got up, picked up the knife, and walked out with the same solemn posture as usual. First, he paid the bill for Ranbu—and paid in advance for two bowls of red bean mochi. Wherever you go.

At this time, there were still five or ten minutes before the agreed time, and it was more than enough to rush to the port mentioned in the letter.

After quickly buying the soda that Edogawa Ranpo needed, Fukuzawa Yukichi turned around and wanted to go to the tea shop.

At this time, he stopped suddenly, and stopped at the turning intersection.

His figure stood quite tall and straight, his movements didn't change much, and his expression was still solemn.Only his eyes were fixed on the flower bed at the corner of the street.For the afforestation of Yokohama, the roadsides are always covered with cement and covered with soil to build small flower beds, which is nothing special.

But above the flower bed there is a cat.It is a very cute female three flower, the coat color is still smooth, the appearance is relatively good, and the round eyes reveal a sense of innocence.Although the species is not very rare, it can be seen everywhere.But this cat was different, she gave Fukuzawa Yukichi a "meow".Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't help taking a step closer.

Fukuzawa Yukichi likes cats very much, but this is really unfortunate for him.

Due to Fukuzawa Yukichi's usual solemn temperament, cats usually dare not approach him, and they will even be scared away when he takes a step closer.

There seems to be some good luck today.This female Sanhua has been staring at him, showing no sign of running away.

Fukuzawa Yukichi held a wave soda in one hand, and approached the cat with his usual expression.When he was one step away from the cat, he tried to show a calm expression, but it didn't seem to be successful.Fortunately, the cat was not scared away like the previous feral cats.

Fukuzawa Yukichi took out the small dried fish that he had prepared for a long time from his sleeve, which he carried with him all the time.He picked up a small dried fish with his right hand and fed it to the Sanhuamao's mouth.

The Sanhuamao really lowered its head and bit the dried fish.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression remained unchanged, but he was quite happy in his heart.He fed five dried fish to Sanhuamao in a row.The Sanhuamao looks very hungry, it eats very quickly, and the stock is gone within 2 minutes.

Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded to the cat, and was about to turn around to leave, but saw the cat give him a long "meow—" as if expressing joy, and rubbed his head against his fingers, then Licked him with a small tongue.

What a happy day.

Fukuzawa Yukichi actually felt a little stiff, and it was the first time he was approached by a cat (Natsume-sensei's change is of course not counted).In return, he learned the method of making cats happy that he had read in the book before, and stretched his right hand towards the Sanhua cat's chin.

There seems to be something wrong with the feel, not the fluffy touch, it feels like it is coated with a layer of plastic glue, and there is still some sticky liquid under the plastic glue.Fukuzawa Yukichi felt a little pity, probably because he accidentally stuck to something while drinking water.

He didn't think much about it, and rubbed the cat's chin several times before letting go.Fukuzawa Yukichi reluctantly prepared to leave until he saw the three-flowered cat raised its head comfortably and rolled away.

At this time, the body suddenly sent a signal to him.

The heart speeds up.

The brain is chaotic.

The body gradually tends to become numb.

Oops, it was the cat just now.Fukuzawa Yukichi's heart sank, what about Chaos?How is he?Did he know that he should contact Kunikida to accompany him to meet that dangerous person?

Fukuzawa Yukichi struggled tremblingly, he held the knife with the last of his strength, as if pouring into it the will to protect Edogawa Ranpo——

But his legs have gradually lost strength, and he is completely unable to speak.Fukuzawa Yukichi wanted to use the knife as a fulcrum to support his body, but failed.

You must be all right, Luanbu... This was the last thought that crossed his mind.Then he lost consciousness.

The unyielding "Silver Wolf" fell down.

With a "bang", the dust on the road was kicked up, and the scabbard made a sound when it touched the ground.

"Ah!" Seeing this scene, people passing by screamed and ran away quickly.Yokohama is a city with chaotic law and order, so it is not surprising that two forces have a gun battle in the street.

In the tea shop, Edogawa Ranpo was finishing the eighth bowl of red bean mochi stuffing. At this time, some bad feelings suddenly flashed in his mind.According to the president's speed, he seems to have been away for too long, and yesterday's letter also hides some information that he needs to confirm in person.

At this time, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly heard the screams of passers-by in the distance.

Oops!

Ignoring the last bowl of sweet mochi, Edogawa Ranpo almost ran across the street at his fastest speed.

Really the president! !

Panting and stopping, Edogawa squatted in front of the president, his hands trembling almost uncontrollably——

It's all my fault that I took the tea fruit too seriously, and didn't take a serious look at the president to think about whether it was dangerous!

calm down!Tears rolled down his face, and Edogawa Ranpo remembered the president's teaching, "The more critical the time, the more calm you should be."

He took a breath, trying to calm down as much as possible.

Edogawa Ranpo reached into the pocket inside the cloak, he remembered Kunikida Doppo saying he put his cell phone here.

Taking out his phone, Edogawa Ranpo relied on his memory to imitate the appearance of the president dialing the phone, clicked into the address book, and there it was—as long as Akiko came as soon as possible—he forced himself to calm down, Seriously looked at the phone screen.

Swipe through the only few names in the address book, and I found it!Edogawa Ranpo hastily clicked on the name "Yosano Akiko".Still not entering the call page, he thought for a while and clicked on the button that looked like a phone.

"Drip—" thank God finally typed out.

But no one answered the phone for 1 minute. Second, second after second... It was a very long silence.

No, didn't Akiko buy snacks for me today and go out?Damn it, it's the man behind the scenes again, probably the guy who sent the invitation yesterday.Edogawa Ranpo broke off his thumbnail angrily, before he could use [Super Reasoning] to analyze the guy's information in detail, he repeated the procedure just now and dialed Kunikida Doppo.

Kunikida-kun should have just arrived at the club, so it's just right for him to come here now.

Another 1 minutes of silence.

At this time, the pedestrians on the side of the road saw that there was no danger, and they had already walked over, circling around Edogawa Ranpo and pointing to the president.One or two enthusiastic people asked him if he needed help, but Edogawa Ranpo refused.

At this time, Edogawa Ranpo's face had become very calm, and he didn't look like he was crying just now.He didn't try to call Akiko and Kunikida's number again, but dialed the number marked "Armed Detective Agency".

The phone was quickly connected, and it was a clerk who answered.

Edogawa Ranpo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the worst did not happen.He immediately said to the phone: "I'm Luanbu. Who else is in the club? Let them come together. It's the tea shop I often go to, and then go to the corner of the next street. Quick!"

The clerk replied respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Ranpo! Mr. Tanizaki is in the office now, and everyone else is away. I will inform Mr. Tanizaki now."

Not long after hanging up the phone, the Tanizaki brothers and sisters hurried over.

Fortunately, it is very close to the detective agency.

"What's wrong, Mr. President?" Tanizaki Junichiro asked in a panic, and his younger sister Tanizaki Naomi also looked at the fallen president with a flustered expression.He is the pillar of the Armed Detective Agency!

"It's too late. Go find Akiko quickly, and if you can't find it, send the president to the hospital immediately."

At this moment Tanizaki Junichiro nodded and asked, "Aren't you going with me?"

"No, I have to go to that appointment to save the president." He said seriously with his green pupils wide open, with a solemn expression.He even put on his own black-rimmed glasses and activated the [Super Reasoning] ability.

"But can you go alone?"

"I can do it." Edogawa Ranbu narrowed his eyes, turned and walked into the distance without saying anything.

"But that's to the west, Mr. Ranpo! The harbor is to the east!!" Junichiro Tanizaki wanted to run up to chase Ranpo Edogawa, but when he saw the president lying on the ground, he and his sister met eyes. Still carrying the president on his back to the Armed Detective Agency.Tanizaki Naomi is constantly trying to contact Akiko.

On the other side, Edogawa Ranpo finally arrived at the port thanks to a kind person leading the way.

The port seemed to be emptied, except for the boats moored by the sea, there was only one person. He was facing the sea, looking at the sky, and his silver hair was constantly fluttering with the sea breeze.

He turned around, his golden pupils still shining brightly in the backlight.

Edogawa approached in random steps, he suddenly stretched out his arms, wanting to punch him.

"You did it, bastard! Give me back the president!"

The silver-haired man named Makishima Seigo was extremely good at martial arts, he came after him and quickly grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's wrist. "I need two days of your time."

"Unless you return the president to me." Edogawa Ranpo clenched his fists trying to break free from the opponent's control, but failed.Makishima Shenghu replied: "Okay. It's just a small amount of snake venom that humans cannot tolerate. As long as the serum is injected within five hours, you will be able to wake up in three days. It happens that this serum is in stock at Oguchi Hospital in Kanagawa District, Yokohama. connect."

"How do I know that you will fulfill the agreement! You are the one who tricked us here, big liar!" Edogawa Ranpo looked around and Makishima Shenghu, and there was no sign that the other party wanted to kill people randomly.

"Then do you think I will fulfill this promise?" Makishima Seigo smiled.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at the other party seriously, as if he was choking, he had to answer: "You will".

Makishima Shenghu made a phone call and ordered his subordinates to pick up Fukuzawa Yukichi from Kanagawa Road next to Kamisakura District and send him to Oguchi Hospital for serum KFSD-01 injection.

After hanging up the phone, Makishima Seigo noticed that Ranpo Edogawa in front of him not only didn't leave, but sat down with his hands around his knees, his hair was drenched with sweat, and he looked very embarrassed.

He took out a handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to the famous detective of many lifetimes.

"That's it. Follow me, Ranpo-kun."

Everything went according to plan.

The author has something to say:

In order to write this chapter, I re-read the third volume of Wenye’s novel, Ranpo is really cute W

The next episode is Kunikida Doppo's final episode.

OvO has any ideas you can communicate with me~~
