Wenhao refuses to be touched

After listening to Mr. Fukuzawa's explanation, Ranpo was in a daze, but I felt a little unreal.

"A person with supernatural powers? Is that... the ability to soar through the clouds and ride the fog, summon thunder, lightning and storms, and move mountains and seas?"

Mr. Fuze's complexion froze, and he hugged Sanmao who had thrown himself into his arms when he explained just now.He speeded up Rua Sanmao, and said in an unsteady voice: "If people with supernatural abilities are so powerful, the world would have been messed up."

Then he told me about the superpowers he had met, teleportation, invisibility, increasing the power of weapons, and quick recovery from injuries... It was within the range I could accept.

"That is to say, people with supernatural powers are people with special abilities. Everyone has different abilities, but they are not strong enough to kill 10 people with one punch..."

"Your imagination is really rich." Mr. Fukuzawa returned to his usual rigid and polite appearance.

I looked at Luanbu who didn't know what to think. "Don't worry now, the power that Ranpo-chan can't see is supernatural power, that is, superpowers, special functions, etc. Even if Ranpo-chan doesn't have these abilities, so what, your mind is the most powerful weapon .”

"Hmph...just to this extent..." Luanbu muttered like this, seemingly indifferent, but I knew he was still entangled in his heart.After all, he was still a child, so he always had a dream of becoming a Superman.

"My sister doesn't have supernatural powers either, she's just an ordinary person. Ranpo-chan has a smarter brain than most people in the world, including those with supernatural powers, so she's probably also a supernatural person to some extent... that, Ayatsuji Chan is also very smart, a genius on the same level as Ranpo-chan!"

Ayatsuji didn't have so many naive thoughts, and he didn't care whether the words I snarled Ranbu accidentally cueed him.He said: "Not all people with supernatural powers are powerful, and some people have acquired strange abilities."

"for example?"

"For example, no matter how much food you eat, you won't feel full, turning into a bee, changing the gender of others, self-destructing..."

"Is it possible that Ayatsuji-chan has met these people?"

"Well, there are people with supernatural powers around Xiaoxu, and I have seen a lot of them. One of the abilities that impressed me the most is that I can improve my sense of smell to a hundred times that of ordinary people. At that time, a garbage truck happened to pass by the side of the road. He passed out from vomiting and almost choked to death on his own vomit."

Very good, it is too graphic and causes deep discomfort, please stop talking.

"Did you hear that? People with supernatural powers are not superhumans." I said to Ranpo like this.

He seems to have been refreshed by the supernatural powers mentioned by Ayatsuji, and he looks disgusted. "Then I'd better be an ordinary detective who is more powerful than people with supernatural abilities." The corners of his mouth were raised high, and he smiled maliciously, "The No. 1 detective in the world that even people with supernatural abilities are afraid of, Trying to feel defeated by ordinary people, they must have complicated feelings."

"Ah, I'm probably going to be so angry that I want to commit suicide."

Dazai seemed to feel that the crisis was over, got up from the ground, ran to me and shook my arm while holding it. "Sister, don't be angry in the future, Zai Zai's knee hurts."

He pulled up his trousers, exposing his knelt knees.His skin was originally thin, and bruises would appear from a small injury. After kneeling, his knee looked seriously injured.But one advantage is that the injury looks serious, and the recovery speed is faster than others.

I wonder if Dazai also has supernatural powers. If so, it should make his vitality more tenacious than ordinary people. After all, he committed suicide several times before meeting me, and he didn’t die every time. According to him Yes, I stayed in the water for half an hour, and after being rescued, I was still alive and kicking without any side effects.

The topic turned to Ranpo and Fukuzawa-san forming a detective duo.

"Sister, I still want to work with Uncle Fukuzawa." Ranbu insisted on this matter, "Just promise me, I will definitely not put myself in danger next time, and will do what I can."

After learning what the secret is, the occasional melancholy in Ranbu's eyebrows and eyes has completely disappeared. He seems to have grown up overnight and become more confident. This is a positive change that is different from arrogance and arrogance.

Mr. Fukuzawa sighed. "Miss Natsume, I must solemnly express my apology to you. I should have told you, the guardian, about Ranpo-kun as soon as possible."

I probably guessed what was going on at the time, and waved my hand: "No, I am the one who should apologize. I know Ranpo-chan's temperament, he must have said that if you don't take him with you, he will search for the murder by himself. , and things like if you tell me about it, he won't be your partner."

I feel very sympathetic to Mr. Fukuzawa. With such an honest nature, it’s no wonder that he was fooled into working together. He was obviously a private bodyguard before, but now he has become a detective’s bodyguard. No matter how you think about it, the salary of the former is higher.

With Mr. Fukuzawa's character, it is impossible to let Ranpo go on a rampage in Yokohama alone. If something happens, he will have to blame himself for the rest of his life, so he just bit the bullet and agreed to Ranpo.

"Mr. Fukuzawa and I are well-known, and everyone in the police station knows us, and invited us to investigate the murder case." Luanbu pulled the detective hat on his head. He cried a while ago, and the hat was crooked. .

I have always had a good relationship with this neighbor, and I didn't show too much courtesy to Mr. Fukuzawa, so I just laughed it off and didn't care about it anymore.Although I promised Ranpo to continue working with Mr. Fukuzawa, I was still a little worried.

"It's not an option for you to run around like this. Why don't you start a detective agency and let customers come to you to entrust you, so you don't have to run around looking for business."

"Detective agency?" Mr. Fukuzawa was a little surprised, and finally he said a little embarrassedly, "I have considered this matter, but I still can't make up the funds."

"Hahaha~ Uncle, you think too much, sister will not let you pay." Luanbu danced on the side, in a very excited state.

I laughed and said, "My novels are unexpectedly popular, with good sales both at home and abroad. Recently, some film companies want to buy the movie copyright of "Life and Death", and there are comics and TV adaptations and so on. ..."

What does it mean to get rich overnight, it probably refers to my situation.In the sluggish atmosphere of the global literary world, my kind of bad works can be regarded as masterpieces, especially in postwar Japan, where the lost generation is looking for a new way of life.

I heard Mr. Takeuchi say that the newspaper office receives more than a dozen sacks of letters from readers every day, and there are even readers blocking the door of the newspaper office wanting to see me.

After the defeat in Japan, everyone was suffocated with a sulking air that had nowhere to vent. Didn't some economists raise it?The worse the economy is, the lower the morale of the country, the more prosperous the entertainment sector is, and everyone is waving money in search of spiritual sustenance.

The reason why my works can be successful is due to the environment of this era.

"I'm not short of money. I'll come up with the funds. I'll trouble you to spend more time on the location of the detective agency. The place can be bigger, with offices, lounges, training rooms, reference rooms, and reception rooms. .By the way, we need to recruit a few more employees. It would be better if they are people with high power values. We can’t let you, the president, go out in person every time. The salary should be higher. After all, we are engaged in dangerous work. The job, and the corresponding insurance will also be purchased.”

"President...me?"

"Of course it's you. Ranpo Sauce is not suitable for managing a club. I'm just an investor. The operation and management of the detective agency still needs your attention. Ah, there should also be a dormitory. As employee benefits, it can increase their interest. The sense of belonging to the club..."

After rambling a lot, he sent Mr. Fukuzawa out with satisfaction.After closing the door, I pulled Luanbu and whispered in his ear: "Listen, you are not yet an adult. You can go to work if you want, and you can sleep at home if you have nothing to do. If you go out to work, you must bring some Those who can fight, at least two! And Mr. Fukuzawa must be by your side, don’t run around, hear me!”

I don't know if Luanbu can listen to it or not, but I don't panic.Looking at Luanbu, who only cares about foolishness, I also sneered in my heart.

Hehe~ Little devil, don't underestimate investors who hold funds.

At that time, not only Mr. Fukuzawa, but also all the employees in the detective agency will help me keep an eye on you. Let’s set up a bonus item. Every time you stop Ranbu from going into danger alone, or running around at the scene of a murder, you will be rewarded. corresponding bonuses.The meaning of the existence of this detective agency is to keep an eye on you wild horse!

The work of Luanbu is basically done. Thinking that I will have a famous detective brother, I can't help humming a song, and I feel relaxed~ When I finished dinner and called them to eat, three people and a Sanmao were in the yard They formed a circle, murmured and chatted fascinatedly, and didn't notice my footsteps.

"If Lord Ranpo is famous, there will be more flies..."

"Water is the source of life, fire can burn everything, no problem, water overcomes fire."

"Meow meow meow~"

"Watchdog? What a nuisance..."

I went over to pick up the meowing Sanmao, and asked them: "What are you talking about, and you brought Sanmao with you. Go wash your hands and eat."

"Yes--"

"By the way, Ayatsuji-chan, do you want to work part-time in a detective agency?" Ayatsuji's dream is also to be a detective. If you are interested, it would be good to be a foreign aid in the past.

"No need, a small place like Yokohama is enough to mess around." When Ayatsuji said this, it seemed to be a bit contemptuous, "I want to open a detective agency, and I will also open it to Tokyo."

"It's okay, anyway, Tokyo is only about [-] minutes away from Yokohama by train, just remember to go home after get off work. Okay, tell me if you need it, let's go in."

"elder sister……"

"Ok?"

"It's easy for you to spoil children like this. If you run a detective agency for Ranbu, most of the money you earn so far will be spent. It's better to keep some for yourself."

I laughed and ruffled his hair. "This is not something children should worry about. Don't worry, my sister knows it well. Besides, Ayatsuji-chan's Tokyo Detective Agency has not been found yet."

"No, my detective agency probably won't need my sister's money." Ayatsuji dropped those words, blinked her eyes playfully, and smiled like a little fox preparing to plot against someone. "My business is aimed at high-quality people, and some people will beg to send me venues and commissions."
