It was another sunny day. Although it was winter, the sun was high in Yokohama, the sky was cloudless, and even the cold wind was much weaker.

The breeze gently brushed across the river surface, creating layers of ripples, and then illuminated by the sun, the entire river surface seemed to be glowing.

It's just that the originally beautiful scenery was destroyed because of a "corpse" floating in the river.

"Ah—there are dead people in the river!"

Atsushi Nakajima, who was looking for Mr. Dazai everywhere, hurried over.

"Mr. Dazai!" He shouted first, and then hurriedly bowed and apologized to the frightened passer-by just now, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Dazai is not dead yet, so I frightened you."

The passer-by turned pale for a while, "Crazy, don't jump into the river if you want to die, okay, the scenery is destroyed."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Seeing that Nakajima Atsuto had already left, he still bowed and apologized in shame.

"Yo~ Atsu-kun!" Osamu Dazai lay on the bank of the river and waved vigorously to Atsushi Nakajima, "Come and give me a hand, I almost fell asleep in the river just now. Who is that person? If it wasn't for his One voice, I may have fallen asleep forever."

"Mr. Dazai!" Atsushi Nakajima ran over in two steps, and pulled him up with all his strength. "There is another commission. Mr. Kunikida is furious because he has not been able to find you."

"It's okay, don't worry about him." When the breeze blew, Osamu Dazai shivered and complained with a pout, "It's really not a good idea to go into the water in winter. When the wind blows when you go ashore, it's too cold. It seems that next time Be careful, it’s better to hang yourself in winter.”

"Mr. Dazai..." Nakajima Atsushi yelled helplessly, then hurriedly opened the bag in his hand, took out the cotton blanket inside and handed it over, "Let's wrap it up first, Mr. Ranpo said this time The thing is very interesting, and I asked you to go with me, so I specifically told you what I brought, so that you can wrap it up so that you don’t get sick.”

"Hey~ Mr. Ranpo asked me to follow?" Osamu Dazai pointed at himself with an innocent face, and then asked Atsushi Nakajima curiously, "Does Atsushi know what the commission is?"

"No, I don't know." Nakajima Atsushi shook his head honestly, then hesitated and nodded.

"You nod if you don't know, are you deliberately teasing me?" Osamu Dazai said intentionally.

"No." Atsushi Nakajima, who was afraid of being misunderstood, hurriedly explained, "The client called directly to the president's office, and Ms. Haruno answered the call. I heard it was from some force in Tokyo."

"So it's like this~" Osamu Dazai nodded clearly, and then turned in the direction of the situation, "Dun-kun, go back first, I'll come as soon as I go."

"Mr. Dazai, no, Mr. Kunikida will be very angry." Atsushi Nakajima stopped him.

"But Dun-kun, you have to give me a chance to change my clothes." Dazai Osamu showed off his wet clothes, "Or has Dun-kun actually coveted my body all this time?"

"No, no, no..." Atsushi Nakajima blushed and got out of the way, stammering, "I, I, I, I'll go back to the detective agency first." Then he turned and ran.

Osamu Dazai, who stayed where he was, looked at Atsushi Nakajima's fleeing back, chuckled lightly, and left here too.

After returning to the detective agency, Kunikida Doppo saw Nakajima Atsushi who came back alone, and he roared again.When he learned that Osamu Dazai was just changing his clothes, although he didn't say anything, his tightly pursed mouth and the sound of typing heavily on the keyboard still revealed his dissatisfaction at the moment.

Just when Kunikida Doppo thought it would be a long time before Dazai Osamu came this time, he did not expect that he would arrive in less than half an hour.

"Mr. Ranpo~" Dazai's father raised his hand in greeting as soon as he entered the detective agency, "What kind of commission did you ask me to go with you?"

"You should be very interested in the king's side~" Edogawa ranbu sat behind the desk while flipping through the materials compiled by Barbara, and replied without raising his head.

"The king?!" Dazai Osamu's eyes lit up, and he walked over in three or two steps, half-bending to look at the things on Edogawa Ranpo's table, "A commission from the Red King?"

"The king has never had any friendship with us, so why would he think of looking for us?" Osamu Dazai asked thoughtfully, "And it's about the seventh king."

"It's related to you~" Edogawa Ranpo raised his head and replied with great interest, "Master Ranpo saw a child who is quite related to you, and that child is related to the incident you investigated some time ago. "

"It's him?" Osamu Dazai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I see, when are we going to leave?"

"Well, let's wait." Edogawa Ranpo propped his chin, "The ability of the king is more troublesome, so Ranpo-sama still has a little bit of thinking."

"Well, what is it?" Dazai Osamu looked curiously at the place Edogawa Ranpo pointed at.

"This person...is definitely not the same person as Bi Tiantou in the information." As a worrying teacher, Osamu Dazai was very sure that the person in the video was definitely not the original owner through only a short amount of information and videos, " It seems that the ability of the seventh king is quite special."

"What do you think his ability is?" Edogawa Ranpo asked the picture of the Seventh King with a hideous face.

"Well, the seventh king has always been the most special one among the seven kings." Osamu Dazai sat on the table beside him, shaking his legs boredly, "The ability of the previous colorless king was prophecy, and he was very popular with the seventh king." The two kings, Guochang Lu Dajue's trust."

Osamu Dazai stopped here, he looked down at the ground for a while, then looked out of the window for a while, and said after a while, "I guess it should be something like intervention."

"If this is the case, then everything can be explained." Edogawa Ranpo nodded, picked up a document and handed it to Osamu Dazai, "However, the detective always feels that there should be a pusher behind this scene." .”

"It's too coincidental." Osamu Dazai concluded after flipping through a few pages, "If there is a person behind the scenes, I think that person is the most likely."

"I agree!" Edogawa raised his hand in disorder, "But if he doesn't come out now, there is nothing we can do."

"There is a way. I don't know if that person can cooperate." Osamu Dazai threw the documents on the table, and then stretched himself.

"This is Schrödinger's cat, it depends on the person himself." Edogawa Ranbu picked up the snack bag and opened it, then started to eat it.

"Well, considering the age, it is true." Osamu Dazai nodded helplessly in agreement, "Is there no new successor?"

"It won't appear so soon." Edogawa Ranpo squinted his eyes and said, "The ability of the second king is very special. No matter how magical this world is, it must abide by certain conclusions."

"The theory of relativity?" Osamu Dazai immediately understood what Edogawa Ranpo meant, "Then the rulers will be in trouble next time."

"It's impossible, unless that person can change his mind." Edogawa Ranpo shook his head, "But with that person's characteristics, it's very difficult to combine the previous ones.

What's more important is this—" Ranpo Edogawa ate potato chips, then picked up another document and handed it to Osamu Dazai.

"Wow~ This is really exciting." Dazai Osamu saw the exclusive news from the Chiwang Clan, "This matter is kept a secret."

"After all, it is already a mythical existence, and many people on the ground worship it." Edogawa Ranbu said not surprisingly.

"Then what is the colorless king looking for?" Osamu Dazai picked up the document and walked to the shredder, and crushed the document.

"The key is still Bitian Toru." Edogawa Ranpo pointed to the very uncomfortable photo on the table and said.

"That's it~" Osamu Dazai nodded, "It seems that we need to get those people moving first."

"Then make a call first, and then we're leaving." Edogawa Ranpo said innocently looking at Osamu Dazai.

After Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranbu looked at each other, they retreated helplessly, "I'll go make a call."

"Go, go." Edogawa Ranpo waved his hands in a good mood, "I still have to check it out now! In Tokyo, the one with the best desserts is the one."

After Osamu Dazai joined the detective agency, and just went to make a phone call, in just a few minutes, Atsushi Nakajima, who had been sitting in his seat, had his eyes straightened, completely confused.

After the conversation was over, Atsushi Nakajima looked at Doppo Kunikida as if asking for help, "Mr. Kunikida, what were Mr. Dazai and Mr. Ranpo talking about just now? What is the king?"

"...The king is the chosen king." Kunikida Doppo paused for a long time before explaining this sentence slowly.

"The chosen king?" Atsushi Nakajima, who had no relevant concepts at all, became even more confused, "Who was the chosen king?"

Kunikida Doppo shook his head, and said mysteriously: "I don't know about that. However, there is a gossip circulating in the underground world that the sword of Damoris hangs above the king's head.

There are rumors that the Kagudu meteor crater here is not the reason for the fall of any meteorite at all, but is actually caused by the king. "

These words instantly aroused the interest of the entire detective agency, and everyone gathered together to discuss intensely.

Speaking of what makes people curious, everyone will ask Edo Ranpo.

However, Lord Ranpo will not answer all the questions, he only picks and answers one or two questions that can be said.

Not long after, Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets and walked out from Haruno Haruko leisurely, "Mr. Ranpo, let's go~ we can go~"

"Wait!" Edogawa Ranpo stood up from the chair, and then walked to the president's office. After a while, Edogawa Ranpo walked out contentedly.

"Okay, let's go."
