Natsume's Little Mister

"Yamamoto, get up quickly." The deputy police chief of Baicun scolded Yamamoto who was humiliated on the ground with a sullen face.

Takero Yamamoto quickly stuffed the fallen gold necklace into his pocket, then he got up from the ground silently, took a step back slightly, his expression hidden in the shadows, making people feel chills for no reason.

The deputy sheriff of Bai Village seemed to have changed his face, and turned his head to restore his amiable appearance.

He stretched out his hand and warmly invited the two to go to the office for a detailed discussion, and asked the little fan who was walking around - Shidano to buy coffee and snacks.

Natsume and Ranpo followed the deputy sheriff to the office and sat down. The other party said that he was going to ask the sheriff to come over. There were only two people in the room, Natsume and Ranpo.

Luanbu was leaning against the window, holding a light blue glass bead and playing with it against the sunlight, his expression looked a bit bored.

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief, holding the steaming, mellow coffee in his hand and stretching his brows and eyes.

I didn't feel anything downstairs. Now that I'm in a quiet place, I realize how noisy the hall downstairs is. The noise will really annoy people unconsciously.

Natsume took a sip of his coffee, sank into the soft sofa, narrowed his eyes, and the brick-red sweater made his eyebrows look picturesque.

"Ranbu, do you see what's coming?" Natsume chatted with Ranbu curiously.

Edogawa Ranpo turned his head while holding the glass beads. At some point, he had already put on the pair of black-rimmed glasses and activated the supernatural ability "super reasoning".

"Ah, I already know the truth." Ranpo put one hand on the frame of the mirror and thought for a few seconds, and said to Natsume, with a rising sound, looking very relaxed.

"But..." Ranpo hesitated for a moment, which surprised Natsume.

"How? Is the matter difficult to solve?" Natsume stood up and asked in front of Ranpo.

Luanbu shook his head, opened his emerald eyes and looked out of the window, pointing his finger in a direction, motioning him to look over.

Natsume frowned in thought.

"That's... By the way, that's the person who just grabbed me by the side of the road. Does it have anything to do with him?"

"No, it has nothing to do with him. He was also invited to help. He is more professional in dealing with those things. I have seen him in the information given to me by the president. His alias is Yin Gu, and he is an insect master. This time The large-scale deafness in the Kaguto crater was caused by insects, and the murder case we want to investigate must also be resolved through him."

It is rare for Luanbu to explain so clearly, usually he is someone who just gives a result and ignores it, which is really rare.

Natsume was about to say something, when someone outside the door who had been listening for a while suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"I have known you for a long time. I am Fujii, the person in charge here. Mr. Edogawa really lives up to his reputation. He found the clue to solve the case just after arriving." Chief Fujii and deputy police chief walked in one after the other, with no stealth on their faces. The guilt of listening to the conversation between the two.

Luanbu curled his lips, and then casually said to Baicun Deputy Sheriff: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you'd better control that man named Yamamoto, otherwise this matter will not be possible."

Telling the sheriff that the police officer under him is suspicious, I have to say that it is really a disorderly step!

The atmosphere froze for a moment, Sergeant Fujii's complexion was very ugly, his pale and white changed for a while, and he ordered Bai Cun to supervise the matter with a sullen face.

Seeing this, Natsume sighed inwardly with a headache, then with a smile on his face, he blocked Luanbu behind him, and exchanged greetings with Sergeant Fujii.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man.

Sergeant Fujii slowly talked and laughed, as if nothing had happened just now.

At this time, there was a noise outside the window, accompanied by the sound of violent quarrels into the office.

"Why did you arrest me? I'm a policeman! Baga, Baicun&%￥*~"

"Take it away!" The deputy police chief of Baicun brought the man in with a sullen face, surrounded by people watching the excitement.

By the way, he asked people to call the insect master Gingu in as well.

indoor.

Sergeant Fujii pressed the brim of his hat, feeling ashamed and relieved at the same time.

"I wonder if Edogawa-san can tell me about your discovery?" He sat down and entered the official task time with a straight posture.

At the same time, Baicun walked in with Yamamoto and Zongshi Yingu.

Ranbu has already put on his glasses, and his emerald green eyes are fully opened, looking sharp and aggressive, completely different from the usual soft and soft look.

"Is there a lot of deafness after swimming recently? Mr. Gingo needs to talk about it." Edogawa said, looking at the white-haired, one-eyed man with a cigarette in his mouth and doing his own thing.

"Well, a worm is a creature that is closer to the origin than all animals and plants. It is filled in the environment invisible to our naked eyes. It is similar to a spirit body. It is a kind of alienated thing that is close to the light vein." A young man named Yingu His voice was low and undulating.

His one green eye rolled, and his gaze flicked over Natsume.

"The bug that caused the deafness this time is called - 呍, it was infected and evolved by the curse.

It usually lives in the forest and feeds on sound. When the snow covers the sound and the sound disappears, it will enter the city for food and store it in the cochlea of ​​people's ears.

After the infection evolves, it will devour the sound of both ears at the same time, and erode the auditory nerve, damage the sense of position and hearing, and cause permanent disability. "

"Oh, what does that have to do with our homicide case? What does the recent six serial murder cases after burglary have to do with this?" Sergeant Fujii was confused.

Gingu didn't quite understand either, and looked at Ranpo who was stealing the time to receive Natsume's snacks.

"Well, Yin Gusang, there should be a different kind, right?" Ranbu replied with puffy cheeks.

Yin Gu exhaled the insect repellant smoke, and the light circle of light blurred the front of him.

"'Ah', the same kind of you, it will devour the silence of you, after parasitism, the human forehead will grow two pairs of horns, one big and one small, similar to radar, regardless of day and night, regardless of frequency, accepting all intervals Usually, the host will die of neurasthenia and depression after half a year."

"Hey, Mr. Yamamoto, does it sound familiar?" He walked up to Yamamoto, and with a movement of his hand, he took out a gold necklace from his jacket pocket. On the necklace, a rich-colored pigeon's blood ruby ​​was shining brightly.

"Mr. Yamamoto's salary is not enough to buy this necklace, plus bags, support, mistress, wife? Where did the money come from?" Ranpo waved the necklace in front of Yamamoto, like a hypnotist's props pocket watch.

"No, I don't, my money...my wife gave me my money." Yamamoto shouted sternly, but the dodge in his eyes could be seen by everyone present.

The most prominent is the Baicun police officer, who looks like he can't wait to beat him up.

"Takero Yamamoto!" Bai Cun's round face turned completely dark, and he interrupted the other party's explanation by calling him by name.

"I didn't kill anyone. Believe me, Brother Baicun. At most, I just called them when the child came over." Yamamoto was taken aback. Baicun was not only his boss, but also his wife's elder brother.
