"Damn it!" Seeing the disbandment of the fantasy magic troupe in the newspaper, and not a single member of the former fantasy magic troupe left, Edogawa Conan put away the newspaper depressedly. He also experienced the Big Dipper incident before, so he also It is very clear about the real cause of death of these people. They should have been killed by the man named Gao Yuanyaoyi, but how did the puppet master who claimed to be hell do it?

Except for the first deceased, the head of the mountain god, who was clearly killed by Gao Yuanyao, the reasons for the rest of the members of the fantasy magic troupe were all strange. The second deceased was directly caused by a magic accident on the stage. The third person died in an accident. When he was walking on the street with another female magician from the Fantasy Magic Troupe, he was inexplicably smashed into a meat paste by a steel bar falling from the sky. The fourth person was walking with the former The female magician, she was overly frightened after seeing this scene, and rushed forward, but fell into the river beside the road. This female magician was once famous for escaping magic in water, but this time she After falling into the water with excessive excitement, she was not able to float up immediately, but was directly drowned.The fifth deceased died by hanging, but after several inspections by the police, they could only conclude that he committed suicide, and finally closed the case as suicide.

But Edogawa Conan knew that things were definitely not that simple. He had investigated the Tokyo Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department in the name of Kudo Shinichi before. After the death of the second deceased, Gao Yuanyao escaped from prison.The cause of death of the next three deceased was definitely due to his factors, but Conan did not have any evidence.

Moreover, thinking of the scene he saw on the train at that time, the trick of opening and closing the door at that moment, and the corpse disappeared, Conan didn't think of the reason so quickly. He also estimated afterwards that there was almost no In the case of what evidence is left, he will definitely need a long time to think, and he may even have to carefully inspect the scene many times before he can figure out the real method of this trick, but Edogawa Ranpo over there is Without seeing the process, I just looked at the scene and came to a conclusion directly.And that Dazai Osamu over there, although Conan has no evidence, he dares to say that this Dazai Osamu may have figured out the trick in the first place, otherwise he would not have seen the head of the mountain god in the first place Immediately after the corpse, go to the next door to check.

As far as I am a detective, I am still a bit far behind.

Edogawa Conan is not a person who would be depressed because of this. On the contrary, he was greatly encouraged and vowed that he must arrest the puppeteer from hell.

As summer comes, there are many ice products in the coffee shop, and many customers who come to the coffee shop will take the initiative to order something with ice to avoid the heat.

As soon as Akutagawa Ryunosuke came back from the outside and sat down behind his desk sweating, a glass of colorful smoothies was placed in front of him.

As soon as Ryunosuke Akutagawa looked up, he saw his sister wearing the same style of clothes as the waitress at the whirlpool cafe downstairs, holding a tray in her hand and looking at him with a smile.

"Gin, thank you." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded his thanks, then picked up the iron spoon in the long cup, scooped a spoon into his mouth, and then asked curiously: "Why are you wearing Gin?" Vortex's hospitality costume?"

"Today, the proprietress of Uzumaki went to purchase new tablecloths and kitchen supplies, and we also went to help. In order to thank us, the proprietress gave us a set of clothes each." Tanizaki Naomi also came out wearing the same clothes, smiling Said, "By the way, we also bought several new tea sets."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded knowingly.

The tea sets of the detective agency are not bad. In fact, because Yuji Damao is very good at raising a family, he can often find high-quality and cheap products, or often find special sales of ceramics, and he can always buy a lot of good-looking and practical stuff.

Even so, there are still an endless stream of people who come to the detective agency to find fault.

Although it is not detailed in this article, in fact, almost every week, there will be unsightly people coming to harass the detective agency. Otherwise, why is there a duty system?Even though most of them are people with supernatural powers, the battle can be resolved quickly, but Kunikida Doppo still has to give gifts to the neighbors upstairs and downstairs to apologize every once in a while.Fortunately, most of the gifts are handmade products made by Yujimao, either delicious snacks, or very practical scarves, squares and other small things.

The furniture in the club is relatively strong and durable, but fragile things such as glass and tea sets often suffer, especially tea sets. If all the sets are broken, it will naturally make people speechless , but it often appears that only half of it is broken, or most of it is broken and only one or two cups survive.

Throw it all away, it's too wasteful, don't throw it away, it looks very awkward, even if the members divide the tea cups and take them to their desks to drink water, it seems a bit too much.

Yuji Damao even bought several sets of identical tea sets made of industrialized products for a while, and changed as many as they were broken, but such a soul-in fact, the tea sets were changed so frequently that everyone I am used to changing the color and pattern every now and then. In the end, Big Cat Yuji chose to plant succulents with the remaining tea sets that survived.

There are several small iron baskets hanging on the window sills of the current Armed Detective Agency, and there are various succulents in them, which are almost becoming a landscape of this building.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was even more curious, why did he need to buy new kitchen supplies downstairs?After all, he is a man whose cooking skills have been developed by Yuji Big Cat, and who can go to the Whirlpool Cafe to work as a part-time chef whenever necessary. He is naturally curious about what the new kitchen supplies downstairs are.

"The main reason is to change the coffee cups and dinner plates that are more in line with the summer season. For kitchen utensils, it is mainly to buy a new ice machine and a new dishwasher." Akutagawa Silver said with a smile, "After all, it is summer , and now there are more and more customers, one ice machine is not enough.”

Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded, Uzumaki's reputation is getting bigger and bigger now, and people from other places have come here just to drink a cup of Uzumaki's coffee. Of course, Uzumaki's delicious food will definitely not live up to their expectations. .

Tanizaki Naomi over there has already gone to tease her brother. Her figure is so good that it is not what a girl of this age should have. Tanizaki Junichiro on the side is so teased by his sister that he has no power to fight back. Soon He had no choice but to blushed honestly and retreated.

"Tanizaki, don't forget to write the report." Akiko Yosano took a sip of the cool juice on the table and reminded, "Also, don't forget your summer homework."

When it came to the report, Ryunosuke Akutagawa didn't respond, but when he talked about the homework with Yosano Akiko, his eyes immediately turned into very cute cat eyes.

Seeing her brother's reaction like this, Xiaoyin, who had been watching with a smile on her face, showed some curiosity, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke reached out and pressed his forehead, "No, it's just my graduation thesis, there is a little problem."

Hearing Akutagawa Ryunosuke mentioned this issue, Osamu Dazai, who was lying on the sofa over there, suddenly showed a curious expression on his face. He took off the earphones he was wearing, and looked at him with a very concerned expression here.

Of course Osamu Dazai would be curious, he knew that according to the normal time, Ryunosuke Akutagawa should be officially graduating next year, and before he graduated, there would be college entrance exams for Xiaoyin and Aton.But now the time has become messy, if it is not next year, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's graduation may be indefinitely.It's interesting that Ryunosuke Akutagawa offered to graduate early without perceiving the time confusion.

"Brother, are you a little impatient?" Akutagawa Yin asked a little puzzled.

"No, I think it's time for me to graduate. I always feel that I have learned more than once about the contents of the professor's guidance recently." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said very seriously.

"Well...Actually, Aton and I also have this feeling..." Akutagawa Yin couldn't help but said.

"I do not recommend that you graduate from high school early." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said seriously, "High school is a very important stage in life, and the three years of high school are very memorable."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke also deeply agrees with this. Don’t look at him as a cool guy all day long. In fact, he is also quite popular in school. He has the nickname of "Young Master". Every Valentine's Day, he receives quite a lot of Here comes the chocolate.It's just that there is nothing particularly worth describing about his high school, so the author didn't write it in detail. In fact, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's high school life was quite rich.

His college life is also pretty good, otherwise, no classmates would have given him tickets to watch high school sports games.

Hearing Akutagawa Ryunosuke's earnest admonition, Akutagawa Yin couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, brother, the students in school are very kind to me, and I really don't want to skip a grade like your brother."

"That's good." Ryunosuke Akutagawa took a sip of his smoothie and said.

"Then, is there something wrong with my brother's graduation thesis?" Akutagawa Silver pulled out his chair, sat down and asked.

"No, there is nothing wrong with the content. I have checked it many times, and I have borrowed papers from my classmates who are also interested in graduating early..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's expression was very strange, "My problem is that although I An application for early graduation was submitted, but the school has not responded.”

"As expected of the students of Dongda University, do they all want to graduate early?" Akiko Yosano couldn't help expressing her speechless emotion.

"No..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's expression revealed a slightly distressed look, and he quickly recovered, and then he said, "Actually, it started when Mr. Dazai applied for early graduation two years ago. Applying for early graduation requires higher thesis requirements than students who graduate normally, but two years ago, after Mr. Dazai proposed to graduate early and passed successfully, the students of Dongda University started this action one after another.”

The teaching at the University of Tokyo is usually basic teaching in the first two or three years. This stage is not divided into majors, and professional discipline education is carried out in the next few years.Some students are very gifted, and they can pass the basic education quickly in the past few years, and they can be arranged for follow-up professional education. It is much stricter, and it will be more merciless during the exam.

Therefore, in previous years, the students who graduated early completed the basic education period and entered the field of professional education. However, in the past two years, there appeared a monster named Osamu Dazai. He performed mediocrely during the basic education period, but entered After the field of professional education, he showed a very amazing learning ability, and then he... Well, it took only one year to complete the study and writing of the entire professional field, and more importantly, his thesis once It passed, and it was even called by the professor as a model that can be used as a teaching material afterwards.

After such a senior appeared in the front, the students behind also wanted to challenge the demeanor of the senior, but the challenge is not to die, let alone being irresponsible to one's own studies, so although many students have tried to reproduce Dazai Osamu's demeanor recently. Brilliant, but they know how to measure, and they only apply after confirming that their studies are no problem.

What's more, Akutagawa Ryunosuke is still studying in the third department of liberal arts, so there are more students who are confident in their studies.

I don't know if there are too many early graduation applications submitted recently. After Ryunosuke Akutagawa submitted them, the school has not given a clear response, but considering that the school is already on summer vacation, he doesn't want to He planned to continue his studies in graduate school, so he did not stay in school during the summer vacation.

"My brother's words are definitely fine." Akutagawa Gin said with great certainty.

On the other side, after hearing his name appear, Osamu Dazai retreated decisively. He didn't hear anything, and he didn't know anything.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa drank the smoothie in his hand, washed the cup and returned it to the coffee shop downstairs, and then went back to his place to continue writing his report. The previous search for people was that he and Atsushi Nakajima were together It was dealt with, but he found someone one step faster than Atsushi Nakajima, and he took the client to confirm it today, so the bulk of the report is with him.

Fortunately, he has always been familiar with this kind of report. After finishing writing, he was about to read the latest magazine at hand as usual, and unexpectedly saw a few more shogi magazines that he had never seen before on the desk opposite Atsushi Nakajima.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was doing homework, noticed the gaze from the opposite side, looked up at the person opposite, and finally turned his gaze to the shogi impurities he bought, "Akutagawa, do you want to see it?"

"Yes..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded, took the magazine handed over by the other party and asked at the same time: "What do you read about shogi?"

"It's the school festival, and the literature and art club is going to hold a chess club event, and I have drawn shogi." Atsushi Nakajima showed a bitter face, "I don't think I can play this well at all."

"Hideyoshi Haneda, this guy." Ryunosuke Akutagawa glanced at the cover character on the magazine and muttered softly.

"Akutagawa, do you know him?" Atsushi Nakajima asked curiously.

"I know, he is the boyfriend of Ms. Miyamoto's sister downstairs." Akutagawa Ryunosuke pointed to the person on the cover.

"Hey? Hey!?" Atsushi Nakajima showed a very shocked expression.

Upon hearing this gossip, the girls around couldn't sit still immediately, even Akutagawa Yin couldn't help but moved to his brother's side, wanting to inquire about this slightly peachy news.

Ms. Miyamoto, the waitress at the Whirlpool Café, is considered a remarkable figure even in the Armed Detective Agency. Everyone can't help but be curious about her sister, the one who works in the Metropolitan Police Department. What kind of person is Miss Miyamoto Yumi who works in the transportation department? At this time, I heard that this lady who is also said to be very tough actually has a boyfriend. Does this make people not curious?

You know, although she works in the transportation department, she still works in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!It is known as one of the workplaces with the lowest marriage rate in Japan!

"Ah, by the way, it is said that Ms. Miyamoto's sister, Ms. Yumi, has broken up with him, so it should be called her ex-boyfriend." Akutagawa Ryunosuke added after thinking about it.

Akutagawa Silver suddenly became curious, "Brother, how do you know this?"

Even Akutagawa Gin doesn't know about this kind of gossip, why would Akutagawa Ryunosuke know?

"I also heard from Mr. Yukichi." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said the correct way to obtain gossip.

"I see."

"It's not surprising that it's Mr. Yukichi."

The girls couldn't help saying this, and then they continued to ask curiously: "Did Mr. Yuji tell you why the two of them broke up in the first place?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at his sister's curious eyes, and nodded frankly, "According to Mr. Yukichi, Ms. Miyamoto seems to be saying, "All this is Yumi-san's fault" or something. "

"It's not impossible." Osamu Dazai at the side touched him again at some point, "After all, he works for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so it's not impossible that he would be too busy to have time to date his boyfriend."

"But this person is also very good. He has already won the Triple Crown at a young age." Naomi Tanizaki quietly took the magazine and flipped through it and said, "If you concentrate on playing chess like this, Is it possible to concentrate on shogi and not have time to hang out with your girlfriend?"

"Hmm..." Everyone showed a very curious look, obviously everyone was very curious about Ms. Miyamoto's sister's boyfriend.

"I think you guys are just too idle." Edogawa Ranpo, who had been playing games over there, couldn't help but said, "What's so interesting about a game like shogi? It's basically about knowing the number of moves by looking at one step. I have no interest in playing."

No no no, you are probably the only one who can do this.

The others were slandering wildly in their hearts, but now that the group pets of the detective agency have spoken, everyone has dispersed. After all, although they are curious about gossip, the gossip is not their own in the final analysis, so gossip is enough.

But when the big cat Yuji came up with the second ice-cold snack of the day, everyone still cast their eyes on the big cat for the first time.

"Meow?" Big cat Yuji tilted his head in doubt, but it didn't prevent him from putting the newly made Bing Dafu on everyone's table.

After a long time, Yosano Akiko, as one of the most curious ladies, took the initiative to hold Yukichi the cat, and began to ask questions under his breath.

Yuji Maomao scratched its head, and finally decided to let them ask Miyamoto-san directly. It only heard the general idea of ​​many things, and it didn't know the specific content.

"Are you curious about my sister?" Miyoko Miyamoto looked at a group of members of the detective agency whose eyes were shining, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Then she saw the shogi magazine that Atsushi Nakajima took out, and suddenly revealed With a surprised expression, "Ah, Haneda-kun actually started his title contest, it's amazing."

"Well, it's really not a big deal. After all, my sister is going to be a policeman. In the end, she insisted on saying something like not to disturb others, so she ran to break up with Haneda-kun." Miyoko Miyamoto flipped through the magazine with one hand. Putting his cheek in one hand, he said, "I haven't contacted the other party since then, so I just said on my own that the other party must have changed his mind or something. I think it would be nice if Haneda-kun really forgot about my sister."

"Ah, Miyako, have you considered finding a boyfriend?" The proprietress leaning against the bar laughed and teased her waitress.

"Hearing what you said, could it be that Haneda-kun hasn't forgotten your sister?" Tanizaki Naomi asked very clearly.

After joking with the proprietress for a while, Miyoko Miyamoto turned around with a smile and said, "I guess not? After all, I remember that Haneda-kun told me before that he wanted to hold various titles in the world of shogi, and then Go back and marry my sister in a grand manner."

As she said that, a nostalgic look appeared on her face: "And I also think that such a person is unlikely to change his mind."

"Isn't that great." Yosano Akiko said with a smile.

"Don't talk about my sister, but Akiko-sister, when are you going to get a boyfriend?" Miyamoto Miyoko asked with a smile, "Miss Akiko is beautiful and intellectual, so there must be many male suitors, right?"

As soon as Miyamoto Miyako's words came out, the group of people over there all turned pale, as if they had heard some terrible words, they all turned their heads away.

Yosano Akiko suddenly showed a bright and gorgeous smile to all of them, "Speaking of which, it seems that everyone hasn't done the physical examination this year, and it's about time to make an appointment."

In an instant, everyone rushed out of the cafe at the fastest speed in their lives, and the gust of wind even blew the tablecloth into the air. After a while, the cafe was empty.
