Started with a green hat for Verlaine

Fourth day.

Aso Qiu also ran to his former home again according to Natsume's teacher's reminder.

In an old house close to Yokohama's Chinatown and more than ten minutes' drive from the port mafia, Aso Akiya opened the door with the key, but he didn't find Edogawa Ranbu when he pushed the door. All he saw was the used one on the table. water glass and crumpled napkin.

He walked into the chaotic bedroom, the bed was dusty, and there was a dirty detective suit.

Aso Qiuya came here on the first day, but Luanbu avoided the sight of all acquaintances on the first day, would rather sleep on the street than go home, but ran back to his previous home for the night the next night!

It is difficult for anyone to catch a cat that is smart and can run.

Everyone must admit that Ranbu has grown to an extremely good level long ago.

Ma Shengqiu also dejectedly picked up Luanbu's clothes and checked the marks on them. It was obvious that Luanbu was wandering outside and rubbed a lot of dirty things.

The three-flowered cat followed him in and turned into a middle-aged man in the shadow behind the door.

"Qiuya, whether to use more extreme methods, the choice is yours."

"You mean... a different ability?"

Aso Qiuya's heart is suffering, and Ranpo has already started to lose clues, otherwise he and Natsume-sensei would not have found the place where each other lived so easily.

Thinking of Ranbu's expectations for himself, Ma Shengqiu also hesitated and said: "After using the special ability to find people, how should I explain to Ranbu? I found him with someone else's supernatural ability? He won't believe it. I can't wake up a Luanbu who pretends to be asleep."

Natsume Soseki saw that he was exhausted physically and mentally, so he changed the subject and asked, "Where did Lantang go?"

Ma Shengqiu also said: "I don't know, he said he would find his own way."

Ma Shengqiu also returned to the living room, sat in the seat where Luanbu had sat, put his hands in his hair, messed up his hair, and the black suit was no longer as neat as before.

"Teacher, did I use the wrong method to force him to run away from home?"

"You are too impatient."

"Impatience... yes... it's my fault..."

"Qiu Ye, you are an adult, straighten your chest, don't give up on yourself, admitting that you are not as good as a child is a very painful thing, but life cannot be smooth sailing."

"...It's impossible to be smooth sailing."

Aso Qiu also repeated Natsume Soseki's words, and his mental state was not right.

It's too extreme.

It was like a huge blow.

Natsume Soseki looked at him with a frown, why didn't he usually see that Shuya was so proud, did he have to suppress Ranbu?Qiu should also understand that Luanbu's talent is far beyond what other people can match.With the help of information difference, you can only win for a while, and you cannot always occupy an absolute advantage!

The difference in IQ is like a world of difference.

Even if Ma Shengqiu tried hard the day after tomorrow, no matter how strong and reliable he was, he couldn't do it!

Natsume Soseki said in a deep voice: "The most urgent thing is to find him. According to what you said, he called you yesterday, and he may not have eaten outside."

Ma Shengqiu also woke up like a dream, looked at the empty water glass, "He has been hungry."

People can only live for three days without drinking water, and up to two weeks without food.

But that would damage the body!

"I'm going to find him. I'll check all the places he might go every day!" Ma Shengqiu stood up suddenly, his head was a little dizzy, and he couldn't eat for the past few days, suffered from insomnia and anxiety Can't take care of the job of the port mafia.

Natsume Soseki sighed: "It's good to send your subordinates to keep an eye on this kind of thing. You should take a closer look. Ranbu must have left you a separate clue."

Aso Qiuya's eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night, and he looked away bitterly.

The more he checked, the more blank his mind became.

— a clue for me?

——Even if it is placed in front of me, how can I understand it.

Natsume Soseki discovered his predicament and restrained the urge to shake his head. Such behavior might overwhelm Aso Akiya's last straw.

It is impossible to say no regrets, Natsume Soseki always has great expectations for Aso Qiuya.

This time the "opponent" is Edogawa Ranpo.

There is nothing analysts can do.

"Everyone has their own limitations, and here are my limitations." Ma Shengqiu also tried his best to adjust his mentality, but he still couldn't go back to the past. Crying and begging me..."

An ordinary person to discipline a genius?This in itself is impossible.

The best way is to stock up.

Give each other a home, a hug, and leave the rest alone.

"Ms. Natsume."

"It's been the fourth day, I really can't find him..."

"Please, let the Supernatural Secret Service Division send someone with supernatural ability to find someone. To the outside world... please let me brazenly announce that I found Ranpo alone."

Ma Shengqiu also tightened his grip on his hair, laughing uglier than crying.

"I, I want to meet his expectations."

as a father.

Yes.

The father of a child, there was no way he could frankly declare himself a humble underdog.

He wants to appear strong in front of his children, to give him a sense of security, to make Edogawa Ranbu like a father with a second "clairvoyance", and he can freely complain to his family about the strangeness of the adults outside, and simple questions why Can't answer.

Natsume Soseki's face was cold and serious, and he scolded: "You are deceiving for the second time!"

Ma Shengqiu also said: "Telling a lie requires countless lies to make up for it. It would be too stupid to think that it can be stopped once." He was talking about others as well as himself. Much, it’s just for the original idea—”

"I want him to live proudly in this world."

For this reason, Aso Qiu is also willing to satisfy Edogawa Ranpo, while maintaining the remaining dignity.

"He'll grow up, he'll grow up to see through all lies."

"Before that day comes."

"Let me protect him for a while longer and be his guide. I know I'm not qualified. I'm far from being able to touch Luanbu's thinking, but I still want to do it..."

"Natsume-sensei, help me, I swear there won't be a third time."

Natsume Soseki should have refused.

But Aso Qiu also begged him, a father begged to spend his "childhood" with his children, and Edogawa Ranpo's "childhood" was too happy and too long.

"Qiuya, do you know what you're talking about? You're not helping him!"

"...After the age of 20, Ranbu will grow up."

"Is this your judgment?"

"Ah."

Without any hesitation, Ma Shengqiu told Mr. Natsume that there is a special ability person in the United States, and the other party's ability will be the "nemesis" to break the lie.

Neither Shibusawa Tatsuhiko nor Dazai Osamu can wake up Edogawa Ranpo, then next year's "Detective Contest", the competition between Edgar Allan Poe and Edogawa Ranpo will begin.This time, under his influence, it will not be a verbal reasoning competition, but a real confrontation of different abilities!

In the original book, Edgar Allan Poe's supernatural power "The Black Cat of the Rue Morgue" can pull Edogawa Ranpo into the world of mystery novels!Seal the supernatural powers of all superhumans!

Under the overwhelming evidence, the 26-year-old Ranpo Edogawa reluctantly confessed to Yosano Akiko that he was not a person with supernatural powers.

At that time, the saying that ability priority is the first will be self-defeating!

There is no such thing as being pulled into a world made up by supernatural powers and claiming to be the number one supernatural power user!

Natsume Soseki closed his eyes: "It's up to you."

Hearing Aso Akiya's breath of relief after holding his breath, Natsume Soseki looked at him helplessly, "As long as you understand what you are doing, what the consequences are, and you are willing to bear it, there will be no problem."

Ma Shengqiu also said, "I'm not afraid of anything."

This year, the 15-year-old double black will come, and next year, the leading war!

He stepped on the steel wire and walked against the wind of the times for eight years, and the bottom of his feet was an abyss.

【The only thing I'm afraid of... is... dying like an ant. 】

[Random steps. 】

【Can you understand? 】

【You will understand, I believe in you, you will grow to the height I look up to. 】

【Instead of me, protect this home. 】

……

Relying on the friendship between Aso Akiya and the government, it is easy to recruit the branch of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, but it is not an easy task to recruit the people with supernatural abilities in the headquarters.

For a trivial matter in the eyes of ordinary people, "the child ran away from home", Aso Qiu also paid a certain price, using Natsume Soseki as the middleman, making Taneda Shantou fire an exception.

A staff member of the Supernatural Secret Service who has unknown abilities but can help find people appears.

At the same time, Ma Shengqiu also contacted Zhongye and Lantang to inform them of the situation.

Lan Tang came to Edogawa Ranpo's hometown, and found the place where Edogawa's parents were buried. He didn't do the unfair thing of digging the grave. Read the corpse within a fixed subspace range, and if the reading is successful, you will consult the other party's opinion, remove the bones if you are willing to go out, and provide a little information if you are not willing.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

A flaw in the "color painting collection" was discovered by him by accident.

In order to cover up his intention to dig a grave when he came to the countryside, Lan Tang replied nonchalantly over the phone: "Qiu Ye, I'll be back right away, did you find Luanbu?"

Ma Shengqiu also said excitedly: "Yes."

Edogawa Ranpo's hiding became more and more obvious every time, and he was no longer as energetic as before.

In the distance, Edogawa Ranpo was waiting for him, almost exhausted from hunger.

The boy shouted when he saw Ma Shengqiu with his red and swollen eyes.

"Qiuya!"

The first one to rush forward was not Aso Qiuya, but Chuya Zhongyuan who came running after receiving the news. Chuya Zhongyuan picked up Ranbu's collar with one hand and said angrily, "Ranbu! Can you save yourself some trouble?" Do you want the whole family to turn Yokohama upside down to find you?!"

Osamu Dazai was behind Nakahara Nakaya, and walked to the side to watch without haste.

Edogawa Ranpo cried "Wow" and was out of breath.

"I want Qiuya!"

"I already knew I was wrong—"

The young man with disheveled hair was pale, his lips were dry, his emerald green eyes were washed by tears and glistened, he stretched out his hand to Ma Shengqiu who was walking, and kept struggling.

The hiding place where he was found is very clear.

It was near the bus station where I first met Akiya Aso, and I often changed places.

He watched the bus stop from afar, neither approaching nor making a sound, and let the port mafia, the Special Agents Division, and the Armed Detective Agency keep looking for someone.

He just wanted to wait for Aso Qiuya.

No one should be the first to find him.

He wants to prove to Qiuya that his supernatural ability is definitely not what Osamu Dazai said, and then Qiu will also observe his geographical location with the help of "high-dimensional observers"!

Aso Qiu also came to Edogawa Ranpo, squatted down, and hugged him.

Just as Edogawa Ranpo reasoned.

Gentle man.

Edogawa threw himself into his arms, grabbed his clothes, cried loudly in his arms, and said with sobs: "I thought you didn't want me anymore..."

Ma Shengqiu also felt the child's neckline wet from crying, and the soreness in his heart when he calmed down.

[Why am I not a supernatural power user? 】

"I won't abandon you, Luanpo."

He comforted Edogawa Ranpo, who seemed to be rolling in the outside world, covered in dust.

"Finding you so late is a small punishment for you. Don't run away from home next time. We will be worried, because Luanbu is a child who doesn't know how to take care of himself."

Ranpo is willing to believe everything Ma Shengqiu is saying now.

Edogawa ranpo cried and promised: "I won't run around again! I was wrong!" He secretly raised his head, looked at the parents hugging him with wet eyes, and ignored the faces of Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu The fleeting strangeness is immersed in the atmosphere of lost and found.

"Qiu Ye, if you say I lost, I will lose, and I will listen to you..."

"Good boy."

Ma Shengqiu also praised him and kissed his forehead.

Solved the first trouble.

Then, Ma Shengqiu also said: "Let's go home, Lan Tang will be back soon."

Edogawa nodded timidly.

Ma Shengqiu also turned his back to Ranbu, picked him up, and felt that he seemed to be afraid of the whole world, and buried him behind his own head like an ostrich.

Edogawa Ranpo's self-confidence seemed to have been severely hit in four days, and he recovered his timid and true attitude, and asked with a choked voice: "Akiya, am I a person with supernatural powers?"

Aso Qiu also passed by Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu, and smiled lightly, the adults hid their thoughts tightly, unlike these teenagers who are easy to show doubts.

"Ah you are."

"Our whole family is a person with supernatural powers."

If a lie could lie for a lifetime, and Poe would be convinced by random steps, maybe the fake one would be no different from the real one.

I can only maintain the sweet dream of the last moment for you.

……

Osamu Dazai watched as the adults carried the boy home.

lie.

In his opinion, a lie that has a high probability of becoming "true".

If no one can smash the statement of "superior priority", the truth that Edogawa Ranpo does not have supernatural powers will be covered up, and even he can only refute it verbally.

Zhong Yuanzhong unnaturally shouted: "Hey, don't be in a daze, walk back with me."

Osamu Dazai sneered, "I'm thinking, not in a daze."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also fed up with the brains of smart people, and rolled his eyes, "People like you, use less brains and see things a little more, the world will be infinitely more peaceful!"

Dazai Osamu rolled his kite-colored eyes, and said, "It's rare to hear you say something meaningful, Chuya."

Zhong Yuanzhong also wondered: "You are so strange. You just call people you haven't known for a long time. Do I have a good relationship with you?" I don’t have any complaints, there are many rooms in the house, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit lively.”

Osamu Dazai said, "Aren't you curious why Shuya lied to Ranpo?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also wanted to avoid the question but failed, his face twitched.

"What else can I do, isn't it because I'm worried about Luanbu's glass heart, and I'm afraid that Luanbu won't be able to think about it for a while."

"Oh, you admitted it!"

"So what if you admit it! If you stay at home for a while, you will know whether Luanbu has supernatural powers. He uses his brain to activate 'super reasoning', which can be activated and deactivated at any time."

"You sound unconvinced?"

Osamu Dazai happily got more information from Chuya Nakahara.

"Of course, I don't think that Luanbu lost to you." Zhongyuan Zhong didn't play tricks with him, and directly complained about Luanbu's injustice, "Ranbu's wisdom is comparable to supernatural ability, and it is a top supernatural power. Ability, you can't beat him, and your brain can't match him."

Osamu Dazai tilted his head: "What about Shuya? Ranpo admires Shuya's ability so much, but in my opinion, Shuya seems to be inferior to Ranpo."

Nakahara Chuya's tone faltered, and he lowered his head in disappointment.

"Dad did his best."

Ma Shengqiu didn't have supernatural powers either, he really didn't, and was forced to lose sleep for a few days by Luanbu.

He also hopes that his father can defeat Ranpo and teach him a lesson.

But in fact, it's not.

"Why do we have to be so harsh on those who don't have superpowers? We who have supernatural powers may not have a better life than them when we step into society, and we are more worthy of respect."

Chuya Nakahara clenched his hands in his pockets.

"I didn't believe that Qiuya didn't have supernatural powers, but now I have to believe it."

Osamu Dazai ignored Chuya's complaints, and his understanding of Aso Shuya became clearer, and he no longer put on the filter of his childhood to look at this person who broke into his own world.

"He looks—"

"It's like a loser pretending to be victorious."

"The most incredible thing is that everyone thinks that he has not failed and defeated Edogawa Rampo."

Osamu Dazai doesn't know what real strength looks like, but he was fortunate to see another kind of "strength" recognized by everyone, which is the respect of people's hearts.

"Your family is really interesting, a big liar, a little liar, a foreigner, and a son like you who has no father and son at all."

After finishing speaking, Osamu Dazai received a punch from Chuya Nakahara, right on the bridge of the nose!Got knocked out!

Osamu Dazai covered his nose, almost crying.

Zhong Yuanzhong also said angrily: "You control your mouth!"

He didn't wait for anyone anymore, and Zhong Yuanzhong was also run away by him in anger, and he didn't want to hear the other party spit black mud at all.

behind.

After suppressing the pain, Osamu Dazai silently looked at the family of three.

His eyes wandered, and he followed.

Such an interesting family, such a wonderful combination, how could we not be a part of it.

——I'm not here to destroy, I'm here to join you!

……

Russia, the long logistics transportation abroad arrived, and the cross-border courier that Fyodor D asked someone to purchase on his behalf arrived.

Because the base is secret, Gogol was driven out to pick up the courier.

He used the supernatural ability of space teleportation to come to the courier point, and successfully took the courier away. Outside the base, he tore open the heavy package without changing his face, without any respect for other people's privacy.

The silver-haired magician in the white cloak is excitedly looking at the books that his best friend has recently liked to read.

A lot of book titles about love hit the eyeballs.

He rubbed one side of his eyes, ignored the sweet and greasy early works of the author "reader", and then carefully read the titles of more valuable novels: "The Growth of a French Literary Hero", "The Retired Killer's Personal Bodyguard of the School Girl", " Cinnabar Moles and Mosquito Blood", "Tears of the Muse", "Ghosts of the Battlefield", "My Whole Family Are Literary Heroes".

Gogol was lost in thought.

Gogol felt that there was a reason for Tosi's recent strangeness.

"Does he want to have a relationship?"

Something's wrong, isn't the best friend's love object an "ideal" to purify the world?

Convinced that Tosi was not such a person, Gogol read "The Growth of a French Literary Hero" and read the summary of the story at a very fast speed: a country boy in the [-]th century fell in love with an oriental beauty from a foreign country. Writing poems while in love became famous?

Gogol's face was subtle, and then he opened the next book "School Girl's Retired Killer's Personal Bodyguard".

In order to prove that Tuosi is not a love brain, he forcefully forced himself to read on.

You must understand the mind of your best friend!

an afternoon.

Fyodor D looked dimly, noticing that the person sent to pick up the courier had not returned for a long time.

"Gogol, are you addicted?"

……
