cat blues

Fukuzawa Yukichi was pushed up the road to Hokkaido by the people in the club just like that, but he also felt that he should set off to bring out the child who was buried in a remote village in the north. Fukuzawa Yukichi was actually not He didn't have the idea of ​​including all people with supernatural powers under his command, but it would be a pity for such a child to bury his talents in a remote village all the time.

Of course, if the Miyazawa Kenji that Chuya and the others were talking about had no intention of leaving the remote village, then he would not really bring people out forcibly.Coincidentally, in addition to this recommendation letter from Koshimizu Nanatsuki, there is also a commission letter from an old friend who lives nearby. Although the content of the commission letter is also related to the detective's affairs, the content is not related to solving the case. It doesn't matter, and the main consultation has something to do with security.

Fukuzawa Yukichi originally wanted to bring Ranpo with him, but obviously, if Edogawa Ranpo didn't want to go with him, it was clear that he planned to let him go out alone to relax, even Yukichi the cat The cats only cleaned up and saluted him alone.

Anyway, the attack by the black organization has already come once, and they don't think that after the other party knows the strength of Nakahara Chuya, it should not be possible to come for the second time in a short time, plus the attack from Dazai Osamu's side The intelligence clearly stated that the next mission target of the Black Organization is the secret prison of the public security. This information has been handed over to Toru Amuro, and it is unlikely that they will be able to take action next.

To put it simply, the detective agency was idle for a while.

Now that the children in the club have already made arrangements for themselves, Fukuzawa Yukichi will not refuse, and the people in the club are not children anymore, and he doesn't need to watch them all the time, so he takes them with him. I packed my luggage and went out alone.

Fukuzawa Yukichi has set off for Hokkaido, and the armed detective agency is like a group of monkeys without tigers in the mountains. The joy is a little too much, which makes a certain blond young man who is scheduled to be the next president of the armed detective agency feel dizzy Terrible.

At the very least, when Toru Amuro rushed over, what he saw was a mess all over the place. The office of the Armed Detective Agency seemed to be swept by a tornado, which surprised him.

What surprised him even more was that a group of people in the Armed Detective Agency, Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuya, Yosano Akiko, and even Oda Sakunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi, stood obediently at the door of the Armed Detective Agency, listening Hearing Kunikida Doppo's lecture, Kunikida Doppo was standing next to Mr. Yukichi, who was often seen in the kitchen downstairs, and he also looked at the person being trained over there with disapproval. If he stuffed the feather duster again, he could vividly play the image of an angry old lady.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Toru Amuro looked at the group of people standing in a row like elementary school students in a strange way, and looked into the office with some doubts. Akutagawa Ryunosuke and the others were cleaning up the office inside. , but what is more special is that the way Akutagawa Ryunosuke cleans up is to use his supernatural ability to prop up his windbreaker, and each head is doing its own thing.

"??" Toru Amuro stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe this scene. He remembered the information from the police that Akutagawa Ryunosuke's superpower Rashomon was able to make his coat Turning into a living creature to defend and attack is a supernatural ability with both offense and defense, so this supernatural ability is... like this?

But no one around had any objection to Akutagawa Ryunosuke's use of supernatural powers, and everyone was busy cleaning up the messy office.

"Oh, Mr. Amuro, are you here?" Dazai Osamu suddenly raised his hand to greet him as if he had discovered his existence.

"!?" Kunikida Doppo noticed that there was someone behind him, and was a little embarrassed. Didn't all his actions just now be seen by others?

Toru Amuro said very wittily: "Do you all need to come to the whirlpool to chat for a while? The store should not be closed at the current time."

"Well, let's go." As if he finally realized that the office was half destroyed by the nonsense just now, Edogawa Ranpo finally felt a little embarrassed. Today is a rest day, and the clerks are all on vacation. It would be too bad if they came back to work tomorrow and saw the office like this.

Knowing that he was completely useless, the famous detective got up decisively, leaned over to rub Yukichi the big cat first, and then apologized very sincerely: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, and I won't do such a thing again gone."

The big cat Yuji sighed a little, stretched out his cat's paw and rubbed his hair, and then led the group of restless guys towards the downstairs.

Uzumaki is about to close the store, and there are no customers in the store now, only the boss couple and Miyamoto Miyako are left there to clean up.

Big Cat Yuji was originally one of them, but after hearing the strange noise from upstairs, he rushed up. Who knew it wasn't some outsider making trouble, but this group of people making a fuss on their own, it was so nonsense !

Seeing that a few people seemed to have something to talk about, and the store was almost cleaned, the store manager and his wife handed over the key to Yukichi Tomomi, and left with Miyamoto Miyoko.

Yuji Big Cat bowed to the three of them very politely to thank them, then walked over and closed the door, and stood behind the bar to make room for them.

"Mr. Yukichi, I want hot cocoa!" The detective stretched out his hand, indicating that he wanted something to drink.

However, the big cat Yuji only poured them a few glasses of lemonade. The big cat Yuji raised his finger and pointed to the ceiling, implying that you forgot about the things upstairs so quickly?

The detective went back immediately, lying on the table and not wanting to move.

Seeing that the famous detective had completely announced the strike, Osamu Dazai had no choice but to explain himself, "Well, I just made an appointment for a tea party for you. Let's talk."

"Tea party?" Toru Amuro frowned, he didn't think Osamu Dazai's tea party would be something simple.

"Yeah, it's just a tea party, drink tea, chat, talk about things, are you interested?" Osamu Dazai looked at him with a smile.

"When?" Toru Amuro asked seriously.

"You choose..." Dazai Osamu took a sip from the water glass, and then showed a crying expression, "Mr. Yukichi, it's too sour!"

"When?" Toru Amuro asked directly without seeing Osamu Dazai's mischievous expression.

"Well, I think the other side is quite free, so you can set the time as you like, any day." Osamu Dazai saw the Yukichi big cat over there crossed himself, so he had to put down the cup in his hand and didn't put it down at all. Honey lemonade, winked at Toru Amuro.

"I see." Toru Amuro nodded, with a solemn expression on his face, "When this prison robbery incident is over, I will go to the tea party as promised."

"That's really great." Osamu Dazai nodded and smiled at him, "So, is there anything we can help you with?"

"No, it can be resolved internally by the police." Amuro Toru did not accept his kindness. This kind of matter has exceeded the scope that private detective agencies can intervene. Moreover, he has a strong fear of Dazai Osamu, even he This man can easily obtain the information without any clue, and this "tea party"...

People who should be regarded as friendly, but give people a feeling of being so dangerous and difficult to get close to.

No, it's not easy to get close. I'm afraid this guy deliberately created a feeling. At least no one who had contacted the Armed Detective Agency before gave Osamu Dazai such a dangerous evaluation.

Why?Toru Amuro couldn't understand.

Why?Toru Amuro couldn't understand.

He had no idea that this was actually just a small reward for a narrow-minded detective. Who told Amuro Toru to distrust their armed detective agency? Then it was understandable for him to fight back a little, right?

What happened after that did not exceed Osamu Dazai's expectations at all. Even though the police had learned of the plan in advance, their people still managed to make the other party sneak into the secret prison by surprise.Even though they had made preparations in advance, they were still rescued by the people from the Black Organization, the female gunman whose code name was Chianti, and let them successfully kill another man whose code name was Ireland.

On the contrary, in addition to a lot of riots, the public security got only a half-destroyed building, a large group of seriously injured policemen, and prisoners who fled around in the chaos.

The public security police were forced to search around for those guys who escaped in the chaos overnight. You must know that even if they were not members of the black organization, those guys who fled around were enough to cause the public security staff a headache. They are all dangerous prisoners of the public security. Once they are allowed to escape, the consequences will be disastrous.

This one-handed operation of the police was beyond everyone's expectation. When Osamu Dazai heard about it, he almost couldn't help laughing.In contrast, Amuro's face was so dark that he could see the bottom.

He didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Did the police have arrangements that didn't require outsiders to intervene?As a result, it took them two days to fail to catch all the escaped people, and finally they had to run desperately to find help from the Armed Detective Agency. As a result, it took Edogawa Ranpo less than five hours to kill all the escaped people. All the fugitives were found.

Fortunately, Toru Amuro didn't know about this operation. At this time, he was handling things in the black organization.Although this operation was considered a success, Rum was keenly aware that the Japanese police should have received the news in advance, otherwise the precautions would not be so careful, and they even almost completed the anti-killing by them.

If Rum hadn't been in charge of the whole process, and Gin, a particularly vigilant and capable guy, was on the front line, maybe this operation would capsize in the gutter. This fact made Rum keenly aware that something was wrong.So he began to comprehensively check the information of all personnel involved in this operation, and began to investigate the intelligence personnel in the organization.

The investigation cannot be done overnight, let alone a scheming maniac like Rum, so he chose the mode of letting the operatives and intelligence personnel monitor and investigate each other.He released a number of new operations that required cooperation to complete, and then cast all the operators and intelligence personnel who he thought were problematic, wanting to know which side went wrong.

Toru Amuro was going to work on this new operation that was tossed out by Rum. For this reason, Rum also asked him to stop the undercover work of the Armed Detective Agency and concentrate on what he was doing.

The investigation this time has obviously achieved certain results. Rum found two little mice from some intelligence personnel. However, these two mice are from foreign intelligence organizations, and they have nothing to do with the Japanese public security here. .

After searching around, they still couldn't find any results, so Rum could only temporarily suppress his doubts about the people around him.

Amuro Toru finally had time to deal with other matters at this time, and it was several days later when he saw the report of that incident.

When Toru Amuro read the report, he recalled that Osamu Dazai invited him to the tea party.

Damn, isn't it really the only way to go now?

On the other hand, Yusaku Kudo was also surprised when he received the invitation to the tea party. He had never thought that he would receive an invitation from the Armed Detective Agency, let alone that the request was not given in the name of the Armed Detective Agency. , but in Dazai Osamu's own name.

He doesn't dislike Dazai Osamu. He knew from before that people who can work together with Edogawa Ranpo without being suppressed by the other party can't be ordinary people, let alone him. I have also seen the other party's extremely monstrous learning ability.

But what made him even more curious was how did Osamu Dazai know that he had not returned to the United States during this period of time?Although the wife was in danger because she suddenly ran to Japan to frighten her son, but because she was the victim and it was not troublesome to deal with it afterwards, the matter was resolved quickly.After solving this troublesome matter, they disappeared from everyone's eyes, so that even the son thought they had returned to the United States long ago.

However, the fact is that they did not return to the United States and still continued to stay in Japan.

Yusaku Kudo's reason for staying in Japan is very simple. He still has a lot of things to confirm, such as dealing with the publication of his works in Japan, and then contacting several gentlemen from the FBI who have been active in Japan recently.

What makes Kudo Yusaku even more unbelievable is that at the tea party that Osamu Dazai invited him this time, it was clearly written that the other party of the tea party was the Japanese police, and he suggested that he also bring some FBI personnel along.

This was really beyond his expectations.

Yusaku Kudo didn't delay too much, and directly gave Osamu Dazai an affirmative reply.As for Mr. FBI who needs to be invited to the tea party... He smiled and knocked on his door.

The tea party was held in a certain coffee shop in Tokyo. The coffee shop was owned by the Golden Clan, and its safety and privacy were absolutely guaranteed.Although the initiator of the tea party was Dazai Osamu, it was obvious that he had no intention of participating in it at all, and only let Amuro Toru, Akai Shuichi and the Kudo family discuss it by themselves.

As for the fact that Yusaku Kudo and Yusaku Kudo were among the people who came here besides Hideichi Akai, it’s another matter how annoyed Toru Amuro is. As for whether he regrets calling Dazai Osamu and the others, that’s up to him. knew.You know, when they saw that there was no promoter who should appear at the tea party, they all knew that the Armed Detective Agency made it clear that they had only one attitude and did not want to get involved.

No one outside knew what they said. Osamu Dazai and Ranpo Edogawa belonged to those who could guess but didn't want to guess. Since they said they didn't want to participate, they really didn't want to participate.Anyway, after Conan and the others find the key evidence, they can hand in their investigation evidence.

After all, it is the combination of capital and political power that has really allowed the Black Organization to preserve its mystery. If Toru Amuro and the others can really find out the real stronghold of the Black Organization, then that share is enough to combine capital and political power. They will also hand over the materials for the disintegration of power.

After all, that's more fun.

Osamu Dazai, who has gradually gotten used to and is getting used to this kind of time chaos, and even enjoys the fun brought by time chaos, thinks so.

Anyway, I don’t know when this year will be delayed. The expected death time of the King of Gold is next year (by ghost lamp). Since it is probably a bit difficult for this old man to die within this year, why not continue How about stalling for a while, long enough to get everything organized without any fuss?

Besides, they still have more important things to do, how can this old man get off work so easily?Their commission fee is not so easy to pay.Before the matter on Radium Bowl Street was settled, even if Conan and the others found something, they would take action to intercept it so that they could not find it.

When two smart people want to do something secretly, no one can stop them.

Big Cat Yuji always felt that they were planning some strange idea, but it didn't feel like a bad thing, so after one of them gave Dou Dafu, he didn't bother to bother with them.

The next day, Fukuzawa Yukichi finally finished his seven-day vacation and returned from Hokkaido with a newcomer.

The snow in a remote village in Hokkaido was so thick that he almost buried him. In such a remote and warm longevity village, young people left one after another. Except for the only young man, Miyazawa Kenji, there was no one else in the village. The youngest is already in his fifties.Fortunately, there are many old people in the village. Miyazawa Kenji has always been taken care of by these elderly people. He has been growing up in the farmland and has never been to a school. It is the family education of the older generation, teaching him to read and write.

Kenji Miyazawa is a smart child. Not only did he learn all kinds of basic knowledge at a young age, but he is also extremely talented in agriculture and animal husbandry. Before he was 13 years old, he was able to take care of a whole field of crops alone. Proficient in how to raise cattle.

People in this village generally live long and have strange powers, but their strange powers are still within the range of normal people, but Kenji Miyazawa is obviously already in the category of supernatural powers. On the one hand, the old people in the village are worried that this child can I can't use my talent well, and on the other hand, I worry that if I go out, it will be used by bad guys.

Until Fukuzawa Yukichi came to this village full of simplicity, the knowledgeable old people in the village could see the integrity and firmness under the serious face of this silver-haired man at a glance, and they immediately entrusted the child Kenji Miyazawa to him. This outsider.

Miyazawa Kenji, who understood the kindness of the old man in the village, took his only luggage - a backpack with documents, clothes and a straw hat, and followed Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Hi everyone, I'm Kenji Miyazawa." The blond boy with freckles on his face greeted everyone with great vigor.

What responded to him was the sound of everyone neatly pulling apart the paper fireworks. After a few crisp "bang" sounds, the paper fireworks fell to the ground one after another, "Welcome to the Armed Detective Agency." The young ladies and sisters clapped their hands one after another.

"Oh, is this the style of a big city? It's amazing." Kenji Miyazawa made a voice of emotion, and then cheered and applauded with everyone. The simple boy can feel that this place is full of satisfaction for him full of welcome.

The big cat Yuji knew that newcomers would come, and the newcomers also like to eat beef, so it specially prepared a huge beef "cake". The flowers rolled into thin slices are decorated, and it looks exactly like the cake except for the strange color.

After Yuji Maomao came out with this cake, the joyous atmosphere immediately reached the highest court.

A group of people cheered and brought the protagonists of the welcome party to the desk that had become a dining table. Miyazawa Kenji looked at the beef cake in front of him, but he did not care about the cake first, but looked at it curiously. The "person" holding the cake asked curiously, "Is this the style of a big city? It's actually wearing a cat leather case to deliver food, can I wear it too?"

Big Cat Yuji was startled and almost lost his hand on the plate. This seemed to be the first time his identity was exposed so directly, and it was still under cover!

The big cat Yuji's panic only lasted for a moment, and was soothed by the hands stretched out from around.

Some people caught the plate in the big cat's hand, some stretched out their hands and held down the big cat's head, and even more people just licked the cat habitually, which made the big cat feel at ease and at the same time felt kind The subtle feeling of being taken advantage of.

"Well, I heard that this child is very spiritual, and it seems to be true." Osamu Dazai said in an old man's tone, "But Kenji-kun, you are mistaken, this is not a person wearing a cat's skin It’s a kitten, but a cat!”

As he spoke, he also signaled the young man to play with the cat.

Yuji the big cat also opened his arms readily, indicating that the other party can touch it at will.

"It's amazing!" Kenji Miyazawa's eyes turned into little stars, "I only touched Mr. Xiong passing by in the village, but I didn't expect to be able to touch Mr. Cat who is so big and can make beef cakes here. .”

He revealed a huge enough amount of information in one sentence, making everyone around him show subtle expressions.

"Mr. Cat, I'm Kenji Miyazawa, please give me your advice in the future!" The youthful youth immediately stood up and bowed to the big cat.

"Meow, ouch..." The big cat Yuji also hurriedly returned the salute.

"This is Mr. Yukichi, let's get along happily in the future—" After Edogawa Ranpo finished his introduction, he decisively preemptively snatched a piece of cake from the table.

"Ah, Mr. Ranpo, you are too cunning!" At this moment, everyone's battle for the dinner table started instantly.

After a period of time, Yokohama became very lively, huge funds flowed into Yokohama, and countless engineering vehicles and construction teams entered the city. Radium Bowl Street, which had been a scar in the city for many years, finally began to be renovated in front of the power of money. Work, and even PortMafia is pulling out all the stops for this renovation.

No one knows when Mr. Mori met Fukuzawa Yukichi, nor what agreement they reached. In short, PortMafia has put a lot of effort into this renovation work, and PortMafia's people let The lower level of Radium Bowl Street would rather sit and wait for death or only engage in stealthy things than to find a job seriously.

A large number of unemployed vagrants were driven out, and then they were forced to sign by PortMafia and arrested to become construction workers. Under the high pressure of PortMafia, no one dared to be lazy.

For these people, even the members of the Armed Detective Agency will not have the slightest sympathy. In order to manage Radium Boulevard, a large number of criminals have fled from there. They are very busy every day, arresting people If they are soft-handed, as for the chaos in the outside world, they will not be able to intervene in the slightest.

"When Rabo Street is filled and a new urban area is built, it will definitely be a very prosperous area in the future." Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, Mori Ogai looked at the bustling area in the distance, and smiled at the blond girl next to him. Lori said.

"That's right." Alice rarely interrupted him.

"But where did Mr. Fukuzawa get the money for building the city?" Mori Ogai was still very curious about this point, he couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his chin, making a puzzled voice .

On the other side, Fukuzawa Yukichi was also standing on the shore. From his position, he could just see the center of Raibo Street, which was under construction there.

Not far behind him, a person stood up, and a big cat taller than him walked over slowly on wooden clogs, holding a shopping bag in his hand, obviously buying a lot of things.

Fukuzawa Yukichi put his hands in his sleeves, looked sideways at the big cat behind him, with a rare smile on his face, "Go back, Ranbu and the others must still be waiting for us."

The red light of the setting sun smudges on the coast, and the sea breeze blows by, but it is as gentle as if it has brought new life to this place.
