Kadian is raising cubs again today

Lu Jing frowned. Could it be that he only likes the red bean stuffing in rice cake and red bean soup?Anyway, he didn't have much money, and if he wanted to eat, it wouldn't hurt to eat a few more bowls.

"If you don't like it, it's rice cake and red bean soup." Lu Jing took the initiative to take a step back.

"I want to try." Edogawa took a deep breath in Luanbu, he showed a big smile at the deer, and said happily: "It looks very good."

Lu Jing found that Edogawa Ranpo didn't seem to know what vigilance was at all. Whatever he asked, the other party answered without any hesitation.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Jing realized the root cause of Edogawa Ranpo's abnormal performance.

This boy who is only 14 years old this year is undoubtedly a rare genius in the world. His IQ and his power of observation can make him easily surpass all living beings.Realizing this, Ranpo Edogawa's equally gifted parents choose to trick him into thinking that everything he's been seeing is normal, and then crush him with IQ from time to time, consolidating that he's the dumbest in the family child's cognition.

If he grows up smoothly like this, Edogawa Ranpo will undoubtedly grow into a kind of genius who is amazing but not repulsive or fearful.

It's a pity that the unexpected arrival caught people off guard.

The Edogawa couple died unexpectedly, and the young boy lost his asylum.The self-awareness and the real side of the world are constantly colliding, and the malice of the world is rushing towards the face, almost drowning people.The teenager didn't want to die, so he could only keep struggling.

The deer jumped in shock.

Losing the asylum...Facing the malice directly... No, when the asylum was crumbling, the malice of the outside world had invaded life unscrupulously.It's just that, even so, he still chooses...chooses to leave him alone, completely ignoring how he should live.

Is it lucky?

Compared with Edogawa Ranpo, who was surrounded by lies and warmth in his previous life, he has faced the reality of the world from the very beginning, so... there is not much difference between ugly and uglier.

"Clap."

The sushi that Lu Jing picked up fell on the table.

He shook his head violently, as if waking up from a dream.

Wait, what was he thinking just now? !Who is that "he"?Something to do with his lost past?

"Uncle." Edogawa said bluntly, biting the spoon randomly, "Have you forgotten a lot?"

"That's right." Lu Jing collected his emotions and glanced at Edogawa Ranbu. He was not surprised when he saw this, and he didn't try to avoid this topic. He said directly: "I forgot all about the first half of my life."

"It's amazing." Edogawa Ranpo said sincerely.

The corner of Lu Jing's mouth twitched slightly: "Eat your water yangkan."

"No, it's delicious."

Shika took a sip of tea in surprise and looked at Ranpo Edogawa who was devouring his food.

The child's father, Lu Jing had the impression that he was an excellent criminal policeman who was honored as "Clairvoyance". He had cracked countless major cases, and his related reports often appeared in newspapers in the past two years.If Edogawa Ranpo hadn't mentioned that name, Lu Jing wouldn't have known that the person had passed away.

Such a retired detective with a perfect resume had an accident with his wife. Even if they were caught off guard, didn't they leave a house and property to their only child?Furthermore, he is only 14 years old now, how do you look at it, should the government arrange a guardian for him, right?

He said that he came to Yokohama because his father's friend was the principal of the Yokohama Police Academy. He told Ranpo that if anything happened to him, he could come to the police academy to find him.

Edogawa Ranpo came and entered the Yokohama Police Academy, but the ordinary school system obviously cannot restrain a genius, conflicts are inevitable, and he exposed some shady things of the dormitory, so he was just like that. rushed out.

I didn't see any indication from the so-called father's former friends.

Sure enough, no matter how many favors you left behind during your lifetime, it doesn't necessarily mean that the old people will miss the old love.

Lu Jing took a deep look at Edogawa Ranpo.

What will become of him?

Breaking all the illusions, I have to face the lies of the past and the ugliness of reality.

Will it break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly, or will it just rot?

The deer lowered its eyes in surprise.

After eating four pieces of water yokan, Ranpo Edogawa was finally full.He patted his stomach and hiccupped contentedly.

He hadn't eaten so happily in a long time.

and so……

When Lu Jing got up and was about to pay the bill, Edogawa quickly stretched out his hand, trying to grab Lu Jing's hand.Of course, with Lu Jing's force value, how could he be caught by a guy who is essentially inactive.

Edogawa Ranbu, who was empty-handed, simply grabbed the sides of the table, raised his head, looked at Lu Jing eagerly, and said, "Uncle, you are a good person."

Lu Jing: "..."

Very good, another good person card, which one is this today?

"We hit it off pretty well."

Lu Jing: "???"

hit it off?How did this come to a conclusion?

"I just lost my job and I don't have a place to live. I'm full from this meal, but I don't have any hope for the next meal..." Speaking of this, Edogawa Ranpo is really sad, the world of adults is too difficult to mess with , he is just a stupid kid who can't support himself at all.

"Uncle, you can take me in."

This sentence is the key point of Edogawa Ranpo's preparations.

Lu stared at Edogawa Ranbu in shock, and looked back eagerly at the watery green eyes of the other party.

Taking in Edogawa Ranpo is equivalent to taking his talent as his own, and it is actually a lucrative business.

In fact, Lu Jing couldn't figure out the brain circuit of the senior management of the Yokohama Police Academy. Such a genius didn't want to cultivate his own hard-core direct lineage, but let the dormitory supervisor find an opportunity to drive him out. Something a normal person can do.

Perhaps, the cause of death of Ranpo Edogawa's legendary father is not so common?

After all, when the power war just ended, many high-level and key figures in the government were assassinated and killed one after another. No matter how you look at it, it was internal elimination of dissidents.It is not surprising to kill one more retired criminal policeman.

Of course, no matter how much Edogawa Ranpo is involved, Lu Jing himself is not afraid.

The problem lies with Edogawa Ranpo.

This guy has no problem with his biological age of 14, but his mental age is estimated to be less than four years old.Raising a child is already troublesome, let alone a child who is very capable but not self-conscious.

But just watching this stupid child in a certain sense smash his head and bleed in this world... Damn, he is not so easy to soften his heart!

Lu Jing let out a breath slowly, and said, "I already have two children in my family, both are ten years old."

Edogawa Luanbo puffed out his chest and promised, "I won't let them bully me."

Lu Jing: "...I can take you in, but I have one request."

"What request, what request?" Edogawa Ranpo said eagerly.

"No matter what you see in me, don't tell others." Lu Jing paused, "This is my only request."

"Yes." Edogawa Ranpo nodded sharply, he understands this, his mother said that sometimes people like to keep a sense of mystery.

"Let's go." Lu Jing motioned for Edogawa to follow, "I'll pay the bill first, and then I'll go buy some daily necessities."

"Then, we go home."

"By the way, my name is Lu Jing, Yuan Lu Jing."

Edogawa Ranpo slowly opened his eyes wide.

Although he knew that the silver-haired uncle had a gentle personality, if he begged him sincerely, he would most likely lend a helping hand.But when he said "Let's go home", his expectations were suddenly fulfilled, Edogawa Ranpo's mood was still unstable for a moment, and his eyes were slightly hot.

Ever since he left his parental shelter, he has felt little kindness.

"Well, Uncle Lu Jing!"

Edogawa responded with a loud, slightly nasal sound.

Lu Jing led Edogawa out of the Japanese restaurant.

On the red fire hydrant by the side of the road, a plump three-coloured cat squatted on it, licking its paws slowly.

The deer stopped in shock, and glanced at the three-colored cat.

It was a three-flowered tomcat, one of the rare cats in a million, and it was regarded as a lucky cat in this country.See you on the road, no one will embarrass such a cat with auspicious meaning, and the kind ladies and sisters will feed it carefully.

This cat can always appear everywhere in Yokohama, and the backyard of Lu Jing's house was once visited by this three-colored cat.

what?

Could it be that I mistook the three-flowered cat?

Of course not.

Lu Jing led Edogawa Ranbu past the three-colored cat.

Not to mention that the pattern on its body is clear at a glance, and the pair of dark circles under the eyes can't be forgotten. Just because of the special energy contained in its body, after Lu Jing perceives it once, he won't mistake it.

With such obvious energy fluctuations, Lu Jing couldn't regard it as an ordinary cat even with his eyes closed.

Lu Jing was very suspicious. That three-colored cat was raised by someone with a heart, and it was specially used to collect information.

In Lu Jing's cognition, not to mention common pets such as cats and dogs, but mice and bugs, as long as there is a method, they can be trained.

Lu Jing, who didn't want to scare the snakes, and didn't want to make mistakes, simply set up a character who hates cats, and rejected the three-colored cat openly.

As for the effect, I can only say that although he no longer saw the three-colored cat in the backyard, he could always catch a glimpse of its cat shadow on the street corner.

Lu Jing ruthlessly walked in front of Sanhuamao, Edogawa Ranbu kept his eyes on the whole process, and followed Lu Jing's pace closely.

As one of the few poor people who have been tricked by cute cats for showing off their cuteness, when dealing with these cute things, if you don’t look at them, you won’t feel soft-hearted, and if you don’t soften your heart, you won’t starve.

Of course, the most important thing is that Uncle Lu Jing's attitude towards cats should not be like this.There will be such a performance now, and nine out of ten are the cat's own problems.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, Ranbu-kun."

"What's the matter, Uncle Lu Jing?"

"No matter what you see at home, don't be too surprised. And, never tell anyone about it."

"Oh, oh, I understand, this is a family secret, isn't it?"

"...Yes."

***

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

On the first day when he stepped into the source house with big bags and small bags on his shoulders, Edogawa Ranpo's worldview suffered a shattering fracture.

"What is this, what is this all?!"

Edogawa lay on the floor in random steps, staring at the little paper man in front of him who was less than ten centimeters tall but carrying a big broom.

"Shikigami." Lu Jing said calmly, his tone seemed to not understand why Edogawa Ranpo was surprised.Only a pair of black eyes were smiling, obviously watching Edogawa Ranpo's joke.

At this time, Edogawa Ranpo could no longer control his ready to move hands.

The little paper figurine twisted its body, avoiding Edogawa Ranpo's hand with the agility that the paper figurine shouldn't have, and even slapped him on the back of his hand with his free hand.

Edogawa gasped as he walked in disorder, hugged the slapped hand, and looked excitedly at the little paper figurine in front of him.That expression is almost the same as that of the shit-shoveling officer who serves the cat owner every day but is patted by the cat owner with a meat pad.

This is not hitting, this is caressing!

"Uncle, uncle, this--" Edogawa looked at Lu Jing with agitated expression, "Can I learn?"

"Hmm..." Lu Jing pretended to ponder, seeing Edogawa Ranbu looking at him eagerly, he smiled, and said, "It depends on talent."

Just like his family Aji and Chuya, Dazai Osamu has a set of theoretical knowledge related to Onmyoji, which Lu Jing passed on personally, but the particularity of disqualification in the world makes him only talk on paper.And Zhongye, who hasn't learned the fine manipulation of energy, can at most use spells, as for others?

Anyway, all the techniques used in the middle school have changed.

Now, can the random boy in front of him learn a thing or two?

***

Lu Jing didn't start teaching Edogawa Ranpo Yin Yang Art immediately.

Although it is now during the summer vacation, the 14-year-old Edogawa Ranpo boy should think about his future studies.

Unfortunately, unlike Dazai Osamu, who is also smart enough to despise school education, Edogawa Ranpo, who has grown wildly outside for a long time, hates the existence of the school, and refuses to return to the school.

Fine.

Lu Jing, who is fairly democratic in nature, agreed.However, Edogawa Ranpo has to know everything that should be learned.Since he doesn't want the teachers at school to teach him, at least he can learn by himself.If he can't learn through self-study, then he has to go to school.

Edogawa Ranpo responded with full of fighting spirit.

In addition to self-study courses, Lu Jing arranged for him the enlightenment of yin and yang.

Edogawa Ranpo still has a bit of talent in this area, although it is not outstanding.

The teenager who had been violently attacked by adults in a corner of the real world stayed in the safe haven-like Yuan's house for two days and was revived with full blood. Having a home gave him confidence, and the teenager who couldn't live at all started to run outside.

Edogawa Ranpo carried Lu Jing's Flying Thunder God spell on his body, and there was an emergency, as long as he input spiritual power into the spell, Lu Jing would be able to sense it, and then came to save the scene.

For half a month, Lu Jing failed to wait until the time of rescue, but instead waited for a green-eyed domestic cat who ran home crying.

Lu Jing: "???"

Why are you crying like this?

"Wow——" Edogawa cried in disorder, his face was full of tears, he threw himself into Lu Jing's arms, and yelled loudly: "Uncle, woo woo..."

The corners of Lu Jing's mouth twitched, ah, I can't have this dress anymore, so I can throw it away later.

He raised his hand and patted Edogawa Ranpo's head, and he glanced in the direction of the front door.

someone.

According to the feedback from the induction technique on the wall of the courtyard at the entrance, the person who came had special energy fluctuations.

Is a superhuman.

"What's the matter, Mr. Ranbu." Lu looked back in surprise, patted the boy's head with a new haircut two days ago, and said softly, "Where did you feel wronged?"

Edogawa sniffled his nose randomly, he raised his head, his eye sockets were red, his eyes were moist, his nose was also red, he was wronged as if he had been wronged by the sky.He sobbed twice, and said: "Yes... it was an uncle who said that I was not an ordinary child, that I was a genius, woohoo, he thought that if he gave me a top hat, I would believe him and listen to him, woohoo..."

Saying the same thing to other people of the same age may make people happy, but it doesn't work here in Edogawa Ranpo.

He believes in the ordinary world his parents have constructed for him, and thinks that he is an ordinary and even a little stupid child. What he can see can be seen by others, and he can see more, so he has no pride at all. necessary.

Because he trusted his parents, even though he stumbled and bumped into the real world with blood all over his face, he still felt that it was his own problem.At most, he felt that the adults were too dishonest and refused to say anything directly.

It's really hard to find a good and honest person like Uncle Lu Jing, which gave him the warmth of returning to his parents, and made him approach unconsciously.

With the backing, Edogawa Ranpo revived again.

Knowing that Lu Jing is worrying about not having a good book to read recently, he took this task as a matter of course, vowing to find a good book for Lu Jing that suits his taste.

In the process of searching for books, Edogawa Ranpo met an uncle with a reliable temperament of a big dog. He also had silver hair. A cat slave with a physique, the kind who won't be favored by cats with a bag of dried fish.

Oh, and he's out of a job.

Edogawa Ranbo took a second look, and quickly connected the other party's unemployment with the case of the murder of the female president of SK business in the newspaper.

It's too obvious, the lost and guilty eyes when looking at the newspaper, obviously regretting that he didn't agree to the female president to be her full-time bodyguard.The case is said to have been solved, the murderer is a professional killer, and has been detained in a detention center.But it was clear that the city police had mistaken the murderer.

Such a simple question can get the wrong answer, some adults are really careless.

The random boy pointed and pointed.

So, when the silver-haired uncle was sad facing the newspaper, Edogawa walked over in a random manner and told him straightforwardly that they got the wrong murderer in this case, and the real murderer was the secretary.

look!How well-behaved, considerate and caring he was, he even took a walk with the silver-haired uncle... Although he wanted to go to the bookstore near the police station more and he was really too lazy to walk.He helped the adults correct mistakes, and the uncle took him for a ride, a perfect deal.

As for being involved in an ongoing murder case with the silver-haired uncle, well, that's not important, the important thing is that the uncle invited him to eat dessert.

Damn, he should have known earlier, there is no free lunch in this world!

He just ate the water yokan invited by the other party, and he didn't pick on that the water yokan was not as delicious as the one that Uncle Lu Jing invited him to eat. In the end, the silver-haired uncle, um, Uncle Fukuzawa treated such an ordinary man like him. Children talking nonsense, this is simply—this is "the world is declining and people's hearts are not old"!

Edogawa, who couldn't talk to the opponent, and couldn't fight the opponent's momentum, ran back home crying.

He, wants, sues, sues!

Hearing Edogawa Ranbu's crying and angry reprimand, Lu Jing understood, co-authoring this is finally someone who is not blind and sees the ability of Ranbu.

Now that you can see Ranpo's ability, you can naturally see how incompatible the world Ranpo has been in and the real world.

Perhaps out of the idea of ​​cherishing talent, the person named Fukuzawa Yukichi obviously hoped that Ranpo could realize his special talent.But from Ranbu's point of view, this blow came too suddenly.

It is not so easy to change the long-standing concept.

Lu Jing looked at the chaotic young man who was crying out of breath with grievances on his face, patted him on the head, and smiled lazily, and said in his mouth: "Well, what that man said, It can’t be completely wrong.”

"Quack?" Originally, the crying started to quiet down, but when Lu Jing said this, Edogawa Ranpo hiccupped directly, making a sound like a duck.

Well, maybe it has something to do with the other party's voice change period.

After the shock, even greater grievances and collapses struck, and Ranpo Edogawa was about to crash to death on the tatami at home.

"Uncle Lu Jing, you, what are you talking about... I am just an ordinary child, my parents are so powerful, they never said that I have any special talents, I believe them, no one else is stupid than me, I ……ah!"

The more excited the boy was, he covered the back of his head, and received Lu Jing's slap there, not hard, but a light slap, which interrupted his incoherent speech.

"I mean, Ranbu-kun, you've grown up."
