Osamu Dazai read the case file at a very fast speed at first, but then slowed down. At first, the little policeman next to him thought he had finally read the case file seriously-at the beginning, Osamu Dazai’s reading speed was really fast. It didn't look like he was reading the case file seriously.

However, in fact, it was only because Osamu Dazai discovered that these case files were actually a combination of fragmentary and ineffective small cases. He could quickly figure out their method of committing each case at the first time, just because there was a lot of evidence. missing, and the methods of committing crimes are quite simple and rude, either it is burglary or simply artful, or it is just a fire, so it is very, very difficult to find evidence in all cases, and it can even be said that if you cannot catch So far, there is no way to find the murderer.

After all, compared with most ordinary criminals who insist on doing a bunch of fancy behaviors to confuse the police and detectives, and refuse to leave after committing a crime, the people who organized the organization are simply a clean stream in the mudslide. , All problems that can be solved with bombs are bombs. Those who are inconvenient to use bombs can be ended with one shot. There will be no more BBs and no more traces. opportunity to live.Even if the previous situation cannot be achieved, there will be a large number of peripheral personnel to clean up all the evidence later.

It's no wonder why no one has been able to catch them for so many years.

Osamu Dazai looked at these case files, although they were all messy, he could indeed sense the feeling of belonging to the same organization from the crime method.Other cases that don't look like organized crimes have marks behind them. Judging from the marks, most of them were found there by former undercover agents. Even though the methods are different, they are really committed by people in the organization.

However, these case files are still too confusing. Although Oda Sakunosuke has arranged them according to time, but because there are too many case files and too many things involved, it is difficult for even him to find clues from them.

"Ah, isn't this going to stay here for a long time?" Osamu Dazai finally got tired of looking at it, "Is it true that you can't take a copy and take it away? There is basically nothing that can be used here. .”

"I'm sorry, all the content is not allowed to be taken out, please come to see us from the Armed Detective Agency." Kazami Yuya came back, his expression was more serious than before, as if After meeting Jiang Gu Ling and Zhu Fu Jingguang, he seemed much calmer to Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai lay down on the file and turned his face, "Anyway, these things are just trivial cases, right? More importantly, you can't see if there are any really useful clues in it."

Kazami Yuya immediately showed that choked expression again. Osamu Dazai's words were too sharp, which made him not used to it. Kazami Yuya also stretched out his hand to pull his tie. Although he was a little irritable, he still said very seriously: "No It’s just not allowed, this is the rule!”

Osamu Dazai wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sakunosuke Oda. The man with an honest face nodded seriously and said, "Okay, we understand."

After Oda Sakunosuke finished speaking, he turned his head to Dazai beside him and said, "Don't worry Dazai, the president will explain to Mr. Ranpo."

"I don't think this is a factor that can be reassured at all." Osamu Dazai stretched vigorously, "Let's go, I'm too tired of watching today, so let's continue after Mr. Ranpo together, but I really think, There may not be any clues in these things that I'm looking for."

As he spoke, he couldn't help sighing again, and turned his head to look at Kazami Yuya, "Has the police not settled yet? Do you want to use that former undercover gentleman as bait?"

"You..." Kazami Yuya almost wanted to blurt out "how did you know", but found that once he said such a content, he immediately seemed to be more than a little weaker.

"Well, no matter what you choose, I will support it. Anyway, that idiot himself should be happy to be the bait, but if you sacrifice others for the so-called "justice", it is not justice in essence. Osamu Dazai stood up from his chair as he spoke, "Oh, by the way, if you don't want to use human life as bait, I think your database can also be used to catch fish, but don't use it for fishing. Really foolishly showing the real information to others. "

After he finished speaking, he pounced on Oda Sakunosuke's back, "I'm exhausted, Oda Saku, please carry me back."

"Okay..." Oda Sakunosuke, who read three files all afternoon, walked towards the door with Dazai Osamu on his back. When he went out, he didn't forget to wave goodbye to Kazami Yuya at the door, "Goodbye..."

Kazami Yuya was furious, but it was difficult to find the right words to deny and refute them, "Damn it, that guy called Osamu Dazai..."

Kazami Yuya was angry for a while, but he honestly went back and wrote Osamu Dazai's suggestion into a report, and reported it before leaving get off work that night.

"Huh? There are only boring files over there? Master Ranpo doesn't want to go." Edogawa Ranpo was a little depressed when he heard what Dazai Osamu said. What he wanted was clues related to that organization, but It was not a crime committed by members of that organization, and it can be seen from Osamu Dazai that the organization's behavior is very cautious, obviously many times it does high-profile things - such as making art - but more often they Behavior is still very cautious.

For example, it is said that he is the top scavenger of the organization, the man code-named Gin. According to the news from the undercover agent, many jobs related to art making are inseparable from this Gin, and Gin also has a role for men. A very conspicuous feature, that is a long silver hair.

A man with long silver hair and often wearing a black coat, such distinctive features have been passed back to the headquarters of the Police Agency several years ago, but even so, no one really tracked down this man.This shows how "cautious" they are.

"Isn't this equal to free!" Edogawa slapped the table vigorously to show that he would not do it. He looked at the case files, and there were still so many case files. What's more, even if he found the murderer, the police would not What would he do with a case he couldn't catch? He didn't want to waste time on such things!

"Random steps..." Fukuzawa Yukichi on the side said.

"It's useless even if the president praises me for such a thing. Did you hear what Dazai said? It's almost the size of an entire filing cabinet, and that's not counting the amount of information that electronic information is greater than paper information. I think When I went to see it, it would definitely turn into a mummy, the type that sucked all the blood." Edogawa Ranpo even used a very strange analogy this time to express his resistance.

Fukuzawa Yukichi reached out and took off the detective's hat, reached out and patted him on the head, and put the hat back on the detective, "Ranpo, if you can find useful clues from those case files If you buy the house this time, you will live with us."

Edogawa Ranpo glanced at the door and was still playing with other people. By the way, he was studying Yukichi the home improvement cat, and looked back at Fukuzawa Yukichi, his eyes opened involuntarily.

"President, are you serious?" Dazai Osamu couldn't help but ask. They lived together in the past, so they naturally knew that if Edogawa Ranpo really put him in Yukichi's hands If not, he will really completely lose all ability to live.At the beginning, it was also because of this that Fukuzawa Yukichi had to let the famous detective move to the dormitory to live independently, and he was only allowed to come to his house every winter.

"Seriously..." Fukuzawa Yukichi, who thinks he never breaks his promise, nodded and said after a pause, "If it can be resolved sooner, Dazai, your troubles can also be ended sooner, right?"

Osamu Dazai was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless look, but muttered unwillingly to admit defeat, "Cut, I will be fine."

Edogawa Ranpo immediately turned his head and said to Oda Sakunosuke: "Oda, let's go, and Dazai, don't be lazy, I'm going to look at the files that record their small and big crimes What's in there."

His expression became solemn, and his expression was so solemn that he seemed to be going to the battlefield.

Then he was pulled back by Fukuzawa Yukichi, and after changing his clothes properly, he motioned for Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was messing around with his sister at the door, to follow. Anyway, Ranbu is an intelligence unit, yes Someone who has nothing to do with melee combat.If they want to protect the only detective of their armed detective agency, they must send more people.

"By the way..." Edogawa Ranpo turned his head to look at Osamu Dazai, "Dazai, did you really only find those things in those files?"

"Well, that's all." Dazai Osamu's expression also became a little dignified, and he said, "Although the contents of the police files are basically serious, they are really messy. But if you have to say that there are no clues, it's okay." no."

"Medicine, right?" Edogawa Ranpo suddenly popped out a word.

"As expected of Mr. Ranpo, you haven't seen it yet, so you already guessed it?" Osamu Dazai couldn't help laughing.

"After all, the old man Guochanglu himself said that the organization inexplicably rejects all capable users, so if Renye Karasuma wants to survive, there are only a few methods that can be used." Edogawa Ranpo sighed He breathed a sigh of relief, "Really, it's really rare to see people who are so persistent in wanting to live."

"Mr. Ranpo, why are you looking at me when you talk?" Osamu Dazai couldn't help but want to reach out and turn his head away, but Ranpo, who discovered his thoughts in advance, dodged it.

"Hmph..." Edogawa snorted in disorder and ignored him.

For the next two days, the two of them clocked in and reported from nine to five every day in the reference room of the police. It was as if they were working in the police station on time.

The public security of the police station, mainly Kazami Yuya, felt troublesome with these two people from the beginning, and then they were completely helpless with them.Yes, the situation got worse after they came for two days.

Kazami Yuya almost got PTSD in the Armed Detective Agency.

Dazai Osamu, who came for the first time, just picked out their incompetence at work casually, and reminded him of his words by the way, and then the appearance of Edogawa Ranpo completely turned into Kazami Yuya's nightmare.The famous detective Edogawa Ranpo can tell at a glance what he did this day and the day before, and he can even accurately judge what he ate, and then say it casually, causing a serious psychological blow to himself .

After Edogawa Ranpo picked this head, Dazai Osamu also joined the team to create psychological pressure and psychological blows for the police. Compared with the casual complaints of famous detectives, the psychological blows created by this guy are more deadly and serious, even For a time, Kazami Yu also felt that he really didn't have the talent to be a policeman at all, so he should just resign.

What made him persist in front of him was also because of the Oda Sakunosuke, the red-haired man who would cut off Dazai Osamu's words very precisely when Dazai Osamu seized his psychological loopholes and attacked him, and frankly Give comfort, but this comfort often seems a little strange.

On the third night, two people with top-notch brains planned to simply read the rest of the things here, and an abnormal situation appeared.

First, the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched the police, which is not surprising. After all, in the magical city of Tokyo, the Metropolitan Police Department rarely rests for a few days, and there are people dispatching the police throughout the year.Afterwards, Kazami Yuya, who was supervising them, suddenly received a call, asking him to call someone over to change shifts with him immediately, while he himself ran out like flying.

"What's the matter?" Osamu Dazai poked his head curiously.

"Don't talk nonsense like that." Edogawa snorted, "That organization must be doing something." Then his eyes sharpened, "This incident should have something to do with that kid Kudo Shinichi , Damn it, isn't that kid looking like a primary school student now? Such a wild way?"

As he said that, he couldn't help touching his chin again, "Should we shift the main center of the investigation to this guy? But there are too many cases around him, and it feels like a plague god. If we are also caught His luck gets involved and it's over."

"Why did Mr. Ranpo make such a judgment?" Atsushi Nakajima, who came to accompany him today, asked curiously, and took out his notepad from his pocket, intending to record the reasoning of the other party. , maybe I can use it in my own novels at any time.

"Because of the timing." Osamu Dazai thought for a while and said, "Conan probably found out that someone is watching them. If they keep watching, it will be difficult to hide the fact that Miyano Shiho turned into a child."

As he said, he looked out of the window and saw Yuya Kazami running with all his strength in a hurry.

"What's more, there are more than one wave of surveillance people. The foreign police count as one, and the black organization should also count as one." Osamu Dazai said casually.

"The foreign police you mentioned, Dazai, should be the FBI of the United States." Edogawa Ranpo pointed out this point casually.

"Ah, that's right. The only ones who would be so reckless and come to Japan to make troubles are only the American police." Osamu Dazai nodded clearly. After World War II, the United States began to rise, and It was a bit like I was the boss of the world, but in the end I was beaten to death in the supernatural power battle.But even so, the developed economy of the United States still makes this country always claim to be the boss in the world of ordinary people.Only the police in the United States dare to go to another country to investigate without going through serious procedures and approvals.

However, this kind of investigation should be a secret operation, otherwise, once it is discovered, it will easily turn into a diplomatic dispute.

As Osamu Dazai said, he threw the case file aside casually, "At times like this, I am particularly envious of Mr. Rimbaud. He can let his superhuman doll do what he doesn't want to do."

Rimbaud has been quite proud of himself recently. Although he didn't get five tons of gold from the previous gold house, he also got two very generous gifts, one from Fukuzawa Yukichi and the other from Coming from Dajue, Guochang Road, this made him feel that his previous efforts were all worthwhile. Now he spends all day playing in the famous resort park in Yokohama, and Verlaine is confused.

Thinking of Rimbaud, Osamu Dazai thought of Rimbaud's two tool men. Because of the chaos of time, the ghost lamp has not been turned on for a long time to connect with another world.You must know that the time of the two sides is actually not equal. Later, after they confirmed the connection, the time actually began to slowly synchronize. Therefore, Ghost Lantern is very worried. If the time disorder on one side still affects the other side, then the problem will be serious. up.

Fortunately, Rimbaud's two tool men, Xia Youjie and Fu Heshier, who have been working hard in hell, belong to the type that has not noticed the time disorder. They had just met the other side before the time disorder. Now that the time is chaotic, they all think that it should have happened not long ago, but no one thinks there is anything wrong with delaying contact with the person opposite.

"Speaking of which, today seems to be Halloween." Osamu Dazai suddenly took out his phone to check the time, "Halloween is really a time when demons dance wildly."

"Ah, damn it, let's go back quickly." Edogawa Ranpo suddenly quickened his movements, "For Halloween, Mr. Yukichi will definitely prepare a lot of candy for me. Damn it, it's all their fault. I've lost track of time."

The two hurriedly read the last remaining things, ran out in a hurry, and rushed back to Yokohama by car.

As expected, the Armed Detective Agency was busy with Halloween commemorative activities. Tom Yuji bought a gigantic pumpkin from somewhere, hollowed out all the inside, and carved a grimace on the surface of the pumpkin, but The outer skin was not completely dug out, but the light inside could shine through, and the pumpkin was made into a large jack-o-lantern.Inside the jack-o-lantern, besides the lamps put in, are all kinds of packaged small things.

Not all of them are candies. After all, if such a big jack-o-lantern is filled with candies, it will definitely end up in Edogawa Ranpo's stomach, which means too much sugar.

Yuji big cat finished the extra-large jack-o-lantern and put it in the whirlpool cafe at the bottom. Everyone who came in to eat could get a small gift from the jack-o-lantern. As a result, this made the business of the whirlpool cafe, which was already doing well. Even hotter has reached a new level.

And the guests who came later were also very interesting. Some of them felt that it was not good to just take it by themselves, and even bought some small things specially to replenish the inventory of this extra-large pumpkin.

Fortunately, Uzumaki closes earlier at night, and when Yukichi Tomomi carried the extra-large pumpkin up to the fourth floor, Edogawa Ranpo and the others also came back.

"Mr. Yukichi!" Seeing Yukichi the big cat come in with such a big jack-o-lantern, even though Edogawa Ranpo knew it wasn't full of candy, he ran over excitedly and wanted to give him a bear hug.

"It's very dangerous." Zhong Yuanzhong also grabbed the detective's back collar angrily, reached out and touched Yuji's big cat's pumpkin, and let the big pumpkin float into the room, "Mr. Yuji, if you encounter this in the future It’s not easy to move something, just let me do it.”

The Yuji big cat nodded shyly. It was indeed struggling to move the big pumpkin.

"Halloween, Halloween——" Edogawa Ranpo didn't feel anything wrong even though he was being held by the back of his collar, but rather looked happy, "Trick or treat!"

"I want to come too!" Dazai Osamu added in not to be outdone, he even took the marker pen and white paper on the table just now and drew something that I don't know what it is, which looks very impressive. drop san.

"Hey Dazai, you're going too far." Nakahara Chuya saw the picture when he turned his head, and couldn't help yelling at him.

"Rerere——" Osamu Dazai smiled triumphantly, "If you don't want me to play tricks on you, give me sugar."

"Are you a child?" Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help cursing angrily.

Several other people have also become noisy, because when Akutagawa Yin went to find Yukichi big cat in the afternoon, she saw Yukichi cat carving a jack-o-lantern, so she stopped by the supermarket and bought a few small pumpkins and came back. She was bored in the afternoon Several clerks and their girls got together to carve pumpkins.Although there are many failures—such as "After the House Collapses" with Akiko Yosano—there are also many excellent sculptures.

Everyone was laughing and throwing candies into the jack-o-lanterns. When the famous detectives came back, they directly started the group demon dance mode. Akutagawa Gin even pulled his brother Akutagawa Ryunosuke and asked him to use Rashomon to create a wave of atmosphere.Atsushi Nakajima was also directly asked to conjure tiger claws.

Because it is a small jack-o-lantern made by the girls, regardless of whether the carving is good or not, it is impossible for them to pay attention not to break the skin. As a result, when the noise started, the candies in the small pumpkin lantern scattered and scattered everywhere. Yes, Edogawa Ranpo is very happy, it doesn't feel too good to have candy falling from the sky while sitting still.

After a group of people were laughing and joking, they didn't really want to go to the police station to continue reading the next day, but they were also curious about what the police encountered yesterday, so they went there honestly.
