Strictly speaking, the entrustment received by Ryunosuke Akutagawa is a regional security assessment entrustment. Generally speaking, such an entrustment can be concluded as long as a rough assessment report is given, but because Because of Ryunosuke Akutagawa's upright personality, the entrustment has always been to give clear results as much as possible on his side, and because there are no ambiguous statements, his Ikebukuro area safety report has been delayed.

Of course, this so-called delay refers to within the time limit.

It is not surprising that the Metropolitan Police Department will issue such a safety assessment commission. After all, this year (?), Tokyo, Japan will undertake several large-scale international events, whether it is the World Expo or the World Games, it is very coincidental (?) that they will be squeezed into this year (?), So in order to ensure the smooth holding of subsequent security activities, the Metropolitan Police Department has issued similar security assessment commissions to various social institutions, and in order to ensure the fairness of the results as much as possible, all the institutions invited are not from Tokyo. organization.

Just like the armed detective agency in Yokohama, there are also famous detective agencies in Kansai, Kyushu, Nagoya, and Shikoku.

Moreover, the final safety assessment reports given by these detective agencies are only used as a reference for safety guarantees, and they will not be adopted in full.Therefore, neither Edogawa Ranpo nor Dazai Osamu had any interest in this entrustment, and it finally fell into the hands of Akutagawa Ryunosuke who volunteered.

To be honest, according to Akutagawa's own investigation, the Ikebukuro area can be marked with a yellow or even a red warning sign, but if you really want to give such a safety rating, you must have some actual cases and give a clear time frame. , anyway, that is also a super large area, can't really keep on guard all the time, right?More importantly, aside from non-human beings like the Headless Horseman, who are actually quite safe, others such as Orihara Rinya, Heiwajima Shizuo, and others are all standard Japanese citizens with sound identity certificates.

Without a clear criminal record, it is impossible to arrest them or restrict their personal freedom.

Besides, isn't Zhenmecho also in Tokyo?If the ruler drops his sword, the problems caused by the sword cannot be solved by Ikebukuro's small troubles.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke has been so annoyed recently that the ferocity in his eyes has risen to a new level. Recently, he has already had the idea of ​​digging out this guy named Orihara Rinya.

"It's best not to do this." Dazai Osamu took out a pack of dried squid from his arms, took out a shredded squid and put it in his mouth to chew, "This Orihara Rin is also a very troublesome guy, if you rashly If you try to match up with him, you will be tricked all over your head."

"Even Mr. Dazai finds it troublesome?" Atsushi Nakajima showed a surprised expression.

"No, no, I'm not talking about myself." Osamu Dazai shook his head, "It's just a pleasure criminal. It's not that I haven't come to Yokohama to make trouble before, but I was beaten by me and Mr. Mori from the five buildings over there." After repairing it, he was almost sunk by Mr. Mori. Later, he seemed to want to retaliate, but he was discovered by Mr. Ranpo, and he was almost sent to the bureau."

Huh, there is still such a thing?

The whole group showed surprised expressions, Osamu Dazai waved his hand, and a look of disgust appeared on his face, "Tsk tsk tsk, didn't you all read the case files of the previous missing passengers?"

Central Plains also saw a few young people showing doubts on their faces, and took the initiative to explain, "It's not the incident of the apostle of Cang, but the one earlier."

Several people thought for a long time and finally remembered that there was such a thing, but in that case, it seemed that there was no man named Orihara Rinya?

"It's been said that he is an intelligence dealer, how could he go into battle in person, but this kid has a bad habit, he likes to observe the things he has done at a close distance, so he was caught by me, and then he was hit by the black lizard " Dazai said with a smile.

Kunikida Doppo stood up, "Dazai, why didn't I see this person in the previous report?"

"Ah? Didn't I write it?" Dazai Osamu suddenly said with a silly expression on his face.

"No!" Kunikida Doppo slapped the conference table vigorously, his eyes were burning when he stood up, "What the hell is going on with this report!?"

"Well, I didn't write it in the report because I was lazy—" Osamu Dazai quickly stuffed the shredded squid back into his arms, "And Kunikida-kun—don't you wonder why I didn't write it down?" But does the slug Chuya know?"

Seeing that the fire was burning on him, Nakahara Nakaya decisively raised his hand and explained, "Kunikida, last time Mr. Ranpo went to Tokyo to solve the commission, I went with him. In the follow-up explanation of the commission, I have Attach all the instructions in detail."

Kunikida Doppo immediately shut his mouth. He was also a household that had difficulty submitting reports. Most of Edogawa Ranpo's reports were full of content that people could not understand at all. The previous sentence was still introducing that one plus one equals two, In the latter sentence, Euler's theorem is derived in a very natural tone, and the jumping nature of the content often makes it impossible to read it well.Therefore, generally speaking, Edogawa Ranpo's reports are written by his partners. Only in rare cases, such as when the president or Yukichi Tomomi wants to understand his reasoning process carefully, he It will be written honestly.

As for the report, Kunikida Doppo would not read every report, especially when the person who wrote the report was Chuya Nakahara, one of the most reliable in the detective agency.

Kunikida Doppo immediately turned his head to look at Dazai Osamu over there again, and saw that the other party had disappeared from behind the door with a whoosh.

"Stop, Dazai!" He said as he slapped the table and rushed out.

"Hey, I'll take a look." Oda Sakunosuke said as well, stood up and walked outside.Before leaving, he did not forget to point out Akutagawa Ryunosuke, "If you find it difficult, why not write down your true thoughts, anyway, it is for reference anyway, and the Metropolitan Police Department should have gotten used to the chaos over there. It's Tokyo after all."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa heard the same thing, yes, after all, Tokyo is a city that even Yokohama people feel magical in a certain sense, so after he nodded, he immediately took back the various photos that had just been posted on a whiteboard, and left. Back at his desk, he turned on the computer and began to type up a draft.

Seeing Ryunosuke Akutagawa writing so seriously, no one else stepped forward to bother him, and saw that he had been writing in the office until after ten o'clock in the evening, and then he wrote a super long evaluation report. In this way, Akutagawa Ryunosuke still thinks that this report is quite crude and needs to be supplemented and added.

Akutagawa Gin has been with his brother in the office all the time, seeing that he wrote longer and longer, he didn't have the slightest idea to remind him to leave early. In the end, it was Yukichi Tomomi who came over and forced a stop, which made Akutagawa Ryunosuke suddenly come back. Come on.

Big Mao Yuji looked at the restless siblings and sent them all the way to the dormitory before leaving with satisfaction.

"Ah, you said Orihara Rinya, well, generally speaking, he is a very troublesome guy, his brain is not bad, but his vitality is comparable to that of Dazai." The next day, seeing Edogawa wandering in the office, Kunikida Doppo hurried forward and asked about the person mentioned by several people yesterday.Edogawa Ranpo thought for a while before he remembered who the person they mentioned was. A look of disgust appeared on his face, "In short, he is a flea-like guy."

When he heard such an evaluation at the beginning, Osamu Dazai refused. What does it mean to be able to compete with his own vitality? He didn't do anything strange!Even if Ranpo-san called that guy a "flea" the last time he heard it.

"You jump back and forth on the lightning spot of Chuya and Kunikida every day, isn't that enough to die?" Edogawa ranpo looked at Osamu Dazai with a surprised expression.

"Of course it doesn't count—" Osamu Dazai said with a smile on his face as if he was giving a speech, "After all, every day if you don't play tricks on the two of them, it's like a run-of-the-mill Coca-Cola or a wet drink." The senbei are the same!"

"Kunikida-kun's roar is a daily spice, no, it's a condiment, just like green onions. Kunikida is green onions, and the middle is ginger—" Dazai Osamu said without the slightest sense of crisis.

"Ha, who are you calling Ginger?"

"Who is Onion, bastard Dazai!"

The voices of Kunikida Doppo and Nakahara Chuya resounded in the office at the same time, followed by the flickering that was visible to the naked eye.

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked out of the president's office with the super long evaluation report he wrote, he happened to see the scene of chaos outside. He coughed and said, "Mr. Kunikida, the president has something to ask you."

Kunikida Doppo hastily stopped the hand of his colleague Bakuza, quickly tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, and gave the rest of the work of Bakuza's colleagues to another person, after nodding to Akutagawa Ryunosuke He walked towards the president's office.

"I'm going to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Mr. Nakaya, please be merciful." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said and walked out the door.

"Tsk..." Zhong Yuanzhong also heard this, and lost the interest in continuing to slaughter. He threw the person away and accurately threw the person onto his chair.

Osamu Dazai rubbed his painfully beaten face, and couldn't help complaining, "You guys are too harsh."

"Hmph..." Zhong Yuan pulled back his chair, didn't bother to pay attention to this actor, turned around and started working.

After rubbing his face for a while, Dazai asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why is Akutagawa-kun free to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to deliver documents today?"

Nakahara Chuya glanced back at him, "Dazai, today is Saturday. And I checked it out, time perception syndrome is one of the precursors and complications of mental illness, so you really don't need to see a doctor? "

The smirk on Dazai Osamu's face just froze on his face, what the hell, why would the slug say such things to himself?

"Pfft, hahahaha." Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help laughing out loud, he couldn't help laughing and said stutteringly: "No, it's okay, Chuya, Dazai, this is... This is a passive attack of disqualification in the world... Cough cough, the result... Ha ha ha ha, cough cough."

Because he laughed too arrogantly, Edogawa Ranpo, who was choking on himself, coughed for a long time before he recovered.

"Mr. Ranpo..." Dazai Osamu showed a pitiful expression on the side, and finally fell headfirst on his own table, buried his head between his hands, and refused to look up.

In this situation of yesterday Monday and today Saturday, except for a few sober people in the whole world, everyone else does not think it is strange, and even takes it for granted.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was also one of them. He took the assessment report that he had spent a whole morning to complete with great difficulty and took it to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

He came to the foreign affairs window where the entrustment was issued, handed over the materials, and he left with peace of mind after the other party signed for receipt.After all, after submitting the report, it will take several days for the reply from the other side to be given.

After Akutagawa Ryunosuke came out of the Metropolitan Police Department, he habitually took the tram to Ikebukuro Sunshine Building. After getting out of the subway station, he realized that he seemed to come here often recently, so that he just came out of the Metropolitan Police Department. He did not subconsciously choose to go to the location of the University of Tokyo, but came to Ikebukuro again.

"Hey, little brother, I've been seeing you on the street lately, you can't be some weird villain, right?" A van with a poster of a Two-dimensional beautiful girl on its body suddenly stopped beside them. A man poked his head out and asked with a smile.

"No, I'm just an unknown little detective." Akutagawa Ryunosuke glanced at the person who came over. This person was Walker Yumazaki, a well-known otaku in Ikebukuro, he remembered This person always moves with three other people. He glanced casually into the car, and sure enough, he saw another woman and a man wearing a knitted hat who were also smiling, plus the one sitting in the driver's seat. Everyone is there.

"Oh, you are too modest to say that you are an unknown little detective." The only woman among the four said with a smile, "Yokohama's armed detective agency is super famous."

"That's also the result of Ranpo-san's prowess, and it has nothing to do with me." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said very frankly.

"Pfft, hahaha, you really are an interesting guy." Several people in the car glanced at each other, Yumazaki Walker laughed first, and then he approached mysteriously, facing Akutagawa Ryunosuke on the side of the road said, "In Ikebukuro, something very serious is happening."

"It's terrible?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned. He would join the dolrs community at the beginning. The biggest reason was that dolrs launched an operation in Ikebukuro half a year ago. A large number of people gathered almost blocked the traffic. become quite a topic.

At this time, the person in front of him said that something terrible was happening in Ikebukuro, which made Ryunosuke Akutagawa feel a little surprised.

"Well, that's it..." Yumazaki's words had just begun, when an exclamation came from a distance, "Come on, someone has been stabbed!"

Yumazaki's face froze as he spoke, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke rushed out immediately, followed the sound and ran wildly, and came to a somewhat dark alley, and sure enough, he saw a man He fell to the ground, bleeding, while another passing woman was screaming.

"The slasher has come out again." Kadoda Jinghei, who was sitting in the car, said with a serious expression.

"Yes..." The others followed suit.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stepped forward to check the other party's injuries. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, it just looked scary.He hurried forward to give first aid, called the police for an ambulance, and comforted the passers-by before Ryunosuke Akutagawa stood up in relief.

The van that I saw before drove over again, and this time Kadoda Kehei got out of the car, "Detective, this is the third incident of a slasher attacking people in Ikebukuro recently."

The expression on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face became darker in an instant. He just finished writing the safety assessment report on this place, and this is what I'm going to do here. Do I want to lose face?

He took a deep breath, turned around and asked, "When did this thing start? Why didn't I see any related news?"

"What happened yesterday, there were two wounding incidents when it happened, and the injured people were only injured, not life-threatening, so..." Kadota Jinghei shrugged, so the reporter probably didn't take it seriously .

Akutagawa Ryunosuke took a deep breath, "Thank you very much for the information you provided, and I will deal with this incident next time."

He didn't leave immediately after speaking, but waited for the ambulance and the police car to arrive one after another, and after putting the person in the ambulance, he went back with the police car to take witness notes.

"Hey, what did that little brother say? But he would follow the police first, and he wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at his face." Karizawa Erika said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Mingming's face is actually pretty good, but the eyes are too fierce, it's scary." Yumazaki Walker couldn't help laughing again.

"That guy said he wanted to settle this matter? Isn't that a little bragging?" The driver Saburo Watakusa raised his hand and said, lighting a cigarette.

Kadota Kyohei's evaluation of Akutagawa Ryunosuke is quite good, "I think he may have some clues, after all, judging by his expression, he doesn't look like a person who would do meaningless actions."

Kehei Kadada guessed right, Ryunosuke Akutagawa did have a clue.His clue also came from his own detective agency. Edogawa Ranpo told him this morning that if something strange happens to Ikebukuro, don't worry about other things, just turn to that guy named Orihara Rinya Well, [-]% of the matter is caused by the other party, and even if the remaining [-]% ​​is not done by the other party, the other party definitely knows the inside story.

That being the case, there is nothing else to consider. After Akutagawa Ryunosuke came out of the police station, it was getting dark, and he went straight to Orihara Rinya's lair in Shinjuku. He didn't have such patience and patience. Observation skills, able to tell the whole story at a glance, in this case, if you directly kill the opponent's boss, nothing will happen.

Orihara Rin was also sitting in his seat, casually browsing through the newly acquired information, when he suddenly heard the sound of an alarm, he turned off the alarm casually, and looked up at the picture captured by the camera at the door.

"What is the Yokohama Armed Detective Agency doing here where I am an intelligence dealer?" Orihara Rin has never actually met Akutagawa Ryunosuke, but he has seen the photo of the other party, and he has also fought against two people from the Armed Detective Agency. As a result, they all fell to the ground and were beaten to the point where they had no power to fight back.This made Orihara Rin very unwilling. It's not that he didn't try to find his way back, but the orange-haired man who partnered with Edogawa Ranpo was a little too strong, even stronger than Xiaojing. He is really a hateful person with supernatural powers .

"I'm sorry, but please tell me, what happened to the slasher incident that happened in Ikebukuro these two days?" on the handle of his own knife.

"Hey, why do you ask me such a thing?" Orihara Lin didn't intend to let the other party in at all, but asked with raised eyebrows.

"Your Excellency is indeed an insider." After all, Akutagawa Ryunosuke has been with Dazai Osamu for many years, even though his ability is limited and not enough to distinguish everyone's lies from the truth, but when facing this Orihara Rinya, but It is still recognizable, "In this case, I can only forgive my impoliteness."

As soon as his words fell, Orihara found that his camera screen had turned into a black screen, and the next second he quickly jumped up from his chair, and sure enough, he saw the door of his house being cut open instantly. A figure rushed in directly.

"Hey, this is breaking into a private house!" Just as Orihara Linya finished speaking, he saw that the young man opposite him didn't want to listen to him at all, and rushed towards him directly with his sword drawn, "Damn it, what a shame! It doesn't make sense at all, are all people with supernatural powers so egotistical?"

With a sound of "ding", Orihara Rinya's protective knife was cut off directly, and the blade of the man in front of him had already approached the front door, touching his neck.

"My superpower is not this." Akutagawa Ryunosuke replied coldly. He was not interested in revealing his details in front of an intelligence dealer. He just put a knife on the other's neck and said coldly: "Please Be sure to honestly hand over the information you know."

"Hey, isn't it a little exaggerated to come to my door just because of this, and even directly cut off my door?" Orihara Lin didn't feel the murderous intent of the other party, so he was naturally able to laugh without any pressure, and even reversed Joking one or two.

"No problem." However, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's actions somewhat subverted Orihara Rinya's thoughts, because when he said this, the blade directly pressed down, drawing a bloodstain on the man's neck.

Feeling the blood seeping out from his neck, Orihara finally raised his eyebrows with interest, even at this level, he didn't intend to waver at all, "So, little brother, what are you doing? How do you think I must be the insider? There is no reason, right?"

"There is no need for a reason." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said more confidently than him, "Mr. Ranpo said that you must have been involved in the abnormal incident that happened in Ikebukuro."

Akutagawa's straightforward attitude made Orihara Rin didn't know what to say. He looked at the other party, and after being speechless for a moment, he really wanted to laugh out loud.
