"what happened?"

Hill couldn't believe it, could there be a murderer in such a remote alley?Is it the murderer who planted moss and buried the body before?

No, the murderer who can use such subtle methods should be just an ordinary person. Due to some disputes, he impulsively planned a murder plan. He would never hold a hatchet so high-profile and skillfully, much like the murderer in some serial murder cases .

"What's going on?" Edogawa Ranpo was also at a loss.

"I'm asking Brother Ranpo... Brother Ranpo is a detective, right?" So he will know about some recent cases, which may include serial murders.

"Even if you ask me..." He suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment, and said, "Probably the hatchet murderer in the alley murder incident a while ago?"

Even though he was aware of the seriousness of the matter, he still stood there calmly, without the slightest panic. It was indeed his reaction, and it would be abnormal if he showed a look of shock.

"Murderer...then run!" Hill took his hand and pulled him to run quickly.

Edogawa Ranpo only had time to hold on to his hat, which was about to be blown away by the wind, before he was dragged forward by Hill.He doesn't like running, he doesn't like it very much, but seeing Hill's extremely anxious expression in front of him, he suppresses the desire to give up.

Well, it doesn't matter if you run with Hill, it's quite interesting, isn't it?It's like being in an alley murder scene.

"Ah la~" The man was holding an extremely sharp hatchet, and with a wave of his hand, the wall skin and the surface of the cement bricks were sliced ​​off. It must be as easy as cutting cheese when waving it on someone. .

"Don't run, sweethearts."

It was a woman with a sexy, magnetic voice and a mad thirst for blood and to dismember people.

"Hahahaha... run away!"

"Hahaha... the more you run, the more excited I become."

Her mournful laughter echoed in the alley, and in this quiet space, even a small stone falling on the ground would have the effect of a big stone falling on the ground.Thankfully it's an abandoned place, uninhabited, so it doesn't cause panic.

The birds who just stayed on the poles to preen their feathers were frightened and aroused.

Even Hill, when he was dragging his feet to escape, couldn't separate his mind to analyze whether this woman who hadn't seen her face clearly was really a serial killer, but she wanted to chop a hatchet on them at this moment The killing intent is absolutely real.

In the criss-crossing alleys, the two of them could only run blindly. Because they didn't know the direction, they could only bury their heads and rush forward. They turned when they encountered a fork in the road, and they didn't know whether they would turn into a dead end in the next second.

Fortunately, the alley is relatively long. They found it in time and started quickly. The woman chasing after them was not very familiar with the terrain here. It was not very convenient to move the high-heeled shoes on the slippery ground after the rain, and they were gradually pulled away.

"Ha...huh, I can't run anymore." The detective, who ran for about ten minutes, was sluggish and indiscriminate, panting.

"Patience with Brother Ranbu." Hill, who also doesn't like sports very much and has very low stamina and stamina, will only be in worse condition than him, but he still comforts him very responsibly.

"Then carry me on your back."

"..." Is this really an unreasonable thing to say to people?

On the way to be hunted down, he said such inappropriate words to a girl who is several years younger than himself, it's too bad, Brother Ranbu!

"Ha... ha, just kidding, you're too nervous... ahem..." He choked on the wind while talking while running.

In fact, at a certain moment, he really thought so.

"Hush, don't make a sound, Brother Ranbu." Hill looked around, and now they temporarily got rid of the woman with the knife.

It's just the maniacal laughter that keeps echoing in the alley, showing that the man is hanging around.

"what……"

"There……"

The two said in unison, their eyes focused on the same place.

They looked at each other and pushed towards the two sides of the tightly closed and locked door in front of them together.

It turned out that this heavy door was not tightly locked by a heavy iron lock as it showed.Someone had sawn the deadbolt in the middle for burglary, and it was still closed because of the thick rust pinning the door.

Although I don't know what is there to steal in such a dilapidated place?But it was exactly the turnaround they were looking for.

It took a little effort to push the door open, but fortunately there was no too harsh sound when the door opened.

Soon.

A woman with a knife passed by the translucent window. The ferocious hatchet in her hand and her slender body covered part of the light, and the shadow hit the mottled and yellowed wall of the room along the window, showing a monster-like appearance. Huge silhouette.

Edogawa Ranpo was located within the visible range of the window, so he moved in very carefully, but the hem of some wide cloaks still accidentally collided with the candlesticks on the table. The aluminum candlesticks are extremely light. It easily rolled under the table, making a crisp sound.

The sound was like thunder in Hill's ears, but it was really an untimely mistake.

"Oh?" The woman turned around immediately, but she didn't break the door, but stopped in front of the window, "The little mouse is here!"

"Are you going to come out obediently, or should I go in and look for you?" She carried a sharp machete on her shoulder, "If I go in, I don't guarantee that I will do anything pleasant under the excitement. !"

Her words were joking, her attitude was like a cat catching a mouse, she stood there unhurriedly, deliberately creating a tense and terrifying atmosphere, eager to see the hearts of those hiding inside bleed and swell for her.

"Brother Luanbu, don't make a sound." Hill said seriously.

Edogawa Ranpo tightly covered his mouth with his hands, and nodded obediently.

Hill took a deep breath, settled her expression, her facial expression became extremely tense, and she walked out.

The heavy door was slowly pushed open.

"Where's that handsome guy?"

"Brother Luanbu has already left this alley. I ran too slowly for fear of slowing down...and I, I already..." She seemed to be extremely restraining her panic, "I have already called the police, and the police uncle will be here soon will get here."

"If you don't want to be put in prison, then leave quickly..."

"Huh?" She waved the hatchet on her shoulder, making a sharp sound of piercing through the air. As for her side, she clenched her hands tightly, as if she was about to chop on Hill's body in the next moment. Care about me."

"In return, I'll play with you for a while." Her footsteps gradually approached Hill.

"You...don't come here." Hill stepped back in fear.

Then she turned around and ran upstairs along the iron outdoor escalator behind her.

The woman's expression froze for a moment, and then she resumed her crazy and bloodthirsty smile, and chased Hill with a knife.

In this way, he ran all the way to the fourth floor. This is a somewhat delicate floor. It is easy to fall to his death at this height, but it is also very likely that he will not die.But it must be a torture to fall anyway.

At this moment, Hill was forced to be on the edge of the roof without guardrails, like a desperate little animal, he could only cower tremblingly.

"Don't...don't come here!"

The woman stopped at the stairs, deliberately keeping a long distance from Hill, with some hesitation in her heart, not sure whether to continue the performance.

Although he wants to have the beginning and the end, Hill's position is still somewhat dangerous.

If it was a rough man, she wouldn't care about his life.But for a little girl...

After a short thought, she was still ready to take off her disguise and confess to Hill to let her get out of there.After all, it is certainly not a bad boy to risk his life to save a stranger he has never met before.

But before she could speak.

"Ah..." The wind blew the roof of the building extremely smooth, and after the heavy rain washed it, Hill's feet slipped and his whole body fell backward.

"Hello!" Yosano Akiko opened her eyes wide in surprise, her face showing shock, she subconsciously took two steps forward, it was already too late.

Oops!

She dropped the hatchet in her hand, turned quickly and ran down the stairs. The high-heeled shoes "dumped" on the iron stairs made a compact sound, and the whole staircase was driven to tremble slightly.

——The time went back to not long ago, when Hill and Luanbu pushed open the door.

"Do you want to call the police?" Edogawa fanned the thick dust in front of him in disorder. The whole room was not only full of dust, but also emitted a strong musty smell. He tried his best to suppress his desire to cough.

"But brother Luanbu and that big sister are in the same group, aren't they?" Hill checked to see if the door was loose, in case something went wrong, "Even though detective agencies often assist the police in solving cases, because of an oolong And if you waste police force, you will be criticized and blamed, right?"

"Ha! As expected of my future assistant!" Although he said so, Edogawa Ranpo was not surprised. After all, they had so many loopholes that even he himself didn't want to continue acting.

And he is a detective, so does he need acting skills to solve a case?But he also thought that what Hill said after calling the police, "I want to see the reverse plot where Mr. Murderer is suddenly arrested after resting easy" seemed quite interesting.

Well, it's necessary to exercise your acting skills once in a while...

"Brother Ranbu, do you want to cooperate with me in performing a play?" Hill smiled innocently, and Hill gradually wanted to play a prank.

In order to cooperate with their performance, she really ran forward with all her life. Even now, she was dizzy, and the stagnant feeling in her breath had a hint of blood... She performed too hard.

And that big sister...whether she will chop the hatchet on them after being caught...she wanted to cut them into pieces at the time, and the feeling of seeing their blood dripping was really real, or It really startled her.

So I thought Xiao Xiao would also give her a fright.

"Oh, tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?" Edogawa Ranpo said with interest, he already knew what Hill wanted to do.

"It's very simple." Hill tugged at the hem of his cloak, and looked at the candlestick on the table.

"Ah, I see." He immediately showed a contemptuous expression.

There is no difficulty at all!

—— Time back to the present.

Hill, who was in the air, heard the sound of Yosano Akiko's high heels stepping anxiously on the stairs, and smiled sweetly.

The next step is to summon an archangel to catch him.

But before she could take the next step, he had already fallen into a cool embrace, even the sound of breathing in his ears, and even the beating of his heart, were cold and peaceful.

"Oh? Throw yourself into your arms?" The voice was gentle but frivolous.

Hill froze, his breathing was slightly stagnant - this person appeared out of thin air.

In the next moment, Edogawa Ranpo and Yosano Akiko were surrounded by dozens of meters of white blades that appeared out of thin air, and were completely restrained from moving.
