Started with a green hat for Verlaine

mid-November.

Ranpo Edogawa's life has changed recently, and he becomes frightened.

He found that Qiu Ye was too kind to him, and bought him all kinds of delicious food without hesitation. Mr. Lan Tang also often showed tenderness to him, as if saying: "Son, go, this family only needs me and Qiu Ye." .

"It's terrible, it's terrible!" Edogawa Ranpo repeatedly said to Nakahara Chuya.

"..." Nakahara Chuya pinched the tip of the pen and tried hard to read Luanbu's novel, writing for reading comprehension, "I don't feel any problem at all."

"They want to get rid of me!" Edogawa shouted in disorder, "The meal before killing the cat! Can you understand how I feel that my time is not long every time I eat a bite of my beloved thick dim sum? Lan Tang Mr.'s performance is the most obvious, he doesn't hide at all that he is expecting me to be unlucky, I just exposed the hypocrisy of the adults!"

Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't stand it anymore, he slapped the trash novel on the table, "What do you want to do after making a fuss for a long time?"

Edogawa Ranpo said: "I'm going to investigate clearly!"

Nakahara Nakaya scratched his hair irritably, not wanting to get involved in Ranpo and Qiuya's problems.

"I won't interfere with you, can you leave me alone?"

"no!"

Edogawa Ranpo hurriedly took out a piece of crumpled A4 paper from his pocket and showed it to him.

Zhong Yuanzhong could barely read the handwriting: "Certificate of activity?"

Edogawa Ranpo added: "It's a job-seeking activity certificate issued by the government. I often look for jobs, and I'm no stranger to this piece of paper. Shu also put it where I can see it, obviously hoping that I can see it." Go to work!"

Zhong Yuanzhong was also silent for three seconds, then smiled and said, "Isn't this pretty good?"

Edogawa Ranpo said in horror: "This piece of paper is for the interview! And it's a copy! The stamped genuine product has already been submitted to a company I don't know!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also said: "You are 14 years old, you don't want to go to school, you can't stay at home and grow old."

Edogawa ran around looking around: "I also want to find a suitable job."

Can't blame him for not finding it?

Edogawa Ranpo was flustered for a while, thinking that Qiuye should not dislike him for hugging his thighs, how could he change his mind on the long-term meal ticket he personally found, and wanted to push him into a complicated working environment?

Reasoning, reasoning, reasoning... The result is that there is not enough information, and Qiu is also secretly planning things about him.

The cat's sensitive hairs have been erected.

Ranpo Edogawa treated Chuya Nakahara as a trash can for negative energy. After he finished talking, he grabbed his mobile phone and called Yusaku Kudo. He had a strong desire to survive, and among the known "acquaintances" who could answer the puzzle for him Only the other party, "Moshi Moshi!! Hey, Mr. Kudo! I want to know under what circumstances the guardian will throw the child to work?"

"...This, maybe because of the inability to support her."

"Except for this?!"

"I don't have time and energy to discipline, I hope my children can get in touch with the society and grow up early."

"hiss!"

Edogawa Ranpo took a breath.

Qiu Ye was injured, and Lan Tang took care of him personally, didn't he meet the important prerequisite?

Kudo Yusaku seemed to be aware of it, and said to the young boy, "Your guardian wants you to go to work?"

Edogawa said in a messy manner: "Maybe, maybe? It's so annoying, I don't know."

Yusaku Kudo was surprised: "Can't Ranpo-kun analyze it?"

Edogawa Ranpo murmured: "If I was asked to work, I would not be allowed to work in this kind of place." He knew before receiving the interview notice that Aso Qiu also wanted to put him in. A large company with close interpersonal relationships has a cumbersome review process and will not easily recruit underage employees.

Yusaku Kudo thought and expressed his one-sided opinion: "Maybe things are not as bad as you think."

Edogawa Ranpo muttered: "How could I reject work."

He's just—repelling places surrounded by monstrous grown-ups.

After finishing the call, Edogawa sat on the cardboard box in dismay. Fortunately, he was not heavy and his limbs were slender, so the cardboard box containing daily sundries was not collapsed by him.

In the Central Plains, I also saw the rare and disheartened Luanbu, with puzzled eyes in his blue eyes.

"What are you afraid of?"

【What are you afraid of?Edogawa ran wild. 】

Ranpo Edogawa asked himself the same question. He escaped school and work, hid in a safe home, and went to work outside again, only to find that he had lost the vigor that he had come to Yokohama half a year ago.

He was so frightened that his hands and feet were shaking, his heart was constricting, and the words he was scolded were played back one after another.

What did you do wrong?Are you going to be scolded at work again?

Why blame him!

Why do you look at him with disgust? !

Edogawa hugged his knees in disorder, bent down, not wanting to look at the splendid world outside.He and Zhongyuan Zhong also sat in a simple house that was sheltered from the wind and the sun, and they didn't have to worry about the disputes between the adults.

"What kind of work did the little orange cat do?"

"If helping people move and find things is considered work, I have done it."

"Will you be happy?"

Edogawa Ranpo asked him in confusion.

"How is it possible, the feeling of bowing your head for money, once you experience it, you can't like it." Nakahara Chuya's tone dropped, and his companions were also experiencing these disliked things.

"...I have had three jobs, military camp, worker, and postman." Edogawa counted his jobs in random steps, but they were not many, "I told myself every time, I have to find a way to work, I don't want to die This winter, I need money, warm quilts, usable air conditioners and hot food, I want to survive this winter, the feeling of sleeping outside against the wall alone...is too uncomfortable."

Edogawa Ranpo is a face-saving person, super face-saving!Be careful!After he was expelled from the police academy, he was stubborn for a while, and didn't want to go back to accept the charity from the principal for his father's sake.

But he wants to live!

After running out for a few days, he would come back again, then run out again, and return to the dormitory if he could not survive.

Only when he was very hungry, he would go to Aso Qiuya, who was off work, and the other party would look at him with tolerance, without accusing him, but just looking at a homeless child as an elder.

"Qiu is also a good person." Edogawa ranpo sniffled, "If he asks me to go to work, I will go."

Hearing his father's name, Zhongyuan Zhong also suddenly broke free from this heavy and sad atmosphere.

I was almost taken astray by the chaotic steps.

He stood up suddenly, "Wait, isn't it just work? What are you playing with me?!"

Edogawa fluttered his teeth and claws and said, "Little wild cats who have never worked formally don't understand!"

"Who is the little wild cat?" Nakahara Chuya's face was terrifying, and when he stepped forward, cracks appeared on the ground.

Edogawa Ranpo stared at him dumbfounded, and ran away quickly.

"Wow - the little wild cat is going crazy!"

"hateful!"

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't chase him either, he was grinding his teeth, Luanbu's mind was so good, he dared to complain that he couldn't survive, didn't this guy know that even a fool is trying to survive!

This world is not so good, but it is not so bad, Edogawa Rampo!

"Are you back?" Aso Akiya was sitting on the sofa at home, watching the news program of Yokohama City, and when he heard the voice from the entrance, he raised his head and asked Edogawa Ranpo who had been playing outside.

Edogawa Luanpo packed the glass heart, ran in angrily, and sat on the single sofa.

"Qiuya, are you kidding me?"

"No."

Ma Shengqiu did not accept nonsensical questions either.

"Look at this!" Edogawa Ranpo found a newspaper with a photo of the female president of SK Trading Company. The other party was a big entrepreneur in Yokohama City, with the face of a strong woman.

Ma Shengqiu also blinked, expressing that he couldn't understand.

Edogawa Ranpo said: "I went to find the whereabouts of the activity certificate, and you submitted it to this club for me."

Ma Shengqiu also clenched his fist against his mouth, hiding his smile: "Don't you 'like' her?"

"I didn't!" Edogawa Ranpo denied, "It was you who taught me to find a rich middle-aged woman. It was all Qiuya's fault. Qiuya made me make a fool of myself on the street. I later learned that finding someone to take care of you is not easy. To be looked down upon!"

Ma Shengqiu also asked strangely: "So you know."

Edogawa was aggrieved, his hair drooping, "I don't want to sell my body, I just want to find someone to support me... Qiu, don't give up on me, please... I'm growing up..." He tugged at Aso Qiu Ye’s sleeves perfectly portray the image of a three-year-old eager to please adults, “I will become an adult like you.”

Aso Qiuya glanced at his ears, the auricles were a little red, which seemed to be inflamed.

"Walk around, put your head flat, and lie on my lap."

"Ok?"

Edogawa ranpo and got down obediently.

Ma Shengqiu also took out the cotton swab box in the drawer of the tea table, and picked out the ear for Luanbu. It may be that the child messed up in the bath.

Ears were itchy, Edogawa shrank his neck in disorder, and looked at Qiuya from the corner of his eyes.

This Qiu Ye is like a father.

"You won't abandon me, will you?"

"will not."

"You won't throw me into a job you don't want to do, to meet those terrible adults?"

"will not."

"Huh?! Qiu also agreed!!!"

"I will find you a job you like, find people you like to meet, go out if you want to go to work, come back when you want to come back, pick the lock if you forget to bring the key, and there will always be your bed and your crocodile doll at home .”

"...Really? You won't lie, will you?"

"will not."

"..."

Edogawa leaned on Aso Shuya's lap in disorder, weeping silently, "You...wouldn't die suddenly, suddenly like your father and mother."

Ma Shengqiu was also taken aback, his pants were wet with tears, it was the most difficult hurdle for Youbu to overcome in his life.

He said to Lan Tang who walked out of the room: "Honey, I want some anti-inflammatory medicine."

Lan Tang nodded.

Afterwards, Ma Shengqiu also cleaned up Ranbu's ears, and said something important for today.

"Ranbu, I'll make a second bet with you."

Feeling the shivering of the cat on his lap, Aso also smiled, quite pleased with himself, it is not easy for the winner to have a psychological shadow on the bet, especially for a person like Edogawa Ranpo who loves to gamble.He said: "The first bet, you get the qualification to enter my house, and the second bet, if you beat me again, you can get a good partner who will take care of you, and a future that you will like." work."

"Do you dare to accept it?"

"Edogawa Ranpo, do you dare to take another step into society and accept my bet?"

The provocations that became more and more serious aroused Edogawa Ranpo's unbearable desire to win.

"You didn't mention the content of the bet." Edogawa Ranpo Maomao clapped his paws.

"It's super simple." Ma Shengqiu also imitated his tone and mastered the essence of coaxing children, "It's very easy, there is no problem at all, it's just a bonus for you."

"Say it quickly." Edogawa Ranbu couldn't bear it anymore, he was fooled.

"Participate in the interview of SK Trading Company. If you succeed in the interview that day, you will win. Otherwise, all your pocket money will be stopped for a week. You are not allowed to ask acquaintances for help. Find a way to survive outside."

"I agree!" Edogawa Ranpo rolled happily.

Ma Shengqiu also had a gentle face, listening to the plop of the cat falling into the hunter's trap.

He looked at Shang Lantang.

Lan Tang asked his lover with his eyes: 【Can you deceive me? 】

Ma Shengqiu also cleverly blinked his left eye.

[Who am I. 】

[I am a Hong Kong gangster analyst who can fool the chaos. 】

——In this web of fate, I am the king.

the other side.

In the villa area of ​​Yokohama City, Katlin, who has been waiting for a postman boy, is very desperate. Every day, he sees some crooked postmen delivering letters to him.The heart of the French aristocratic lady who wanted to raise a young lover was broken into seven or eight petals, and she urgently needed a new exotic romance to nourish herself.

Letters filled her sofa.

While tearing, she said sadly: "When are you coming? Is it so difficult to see you?"

My sister is rich, but she lacks someone!

Catherine felt even more sad when she thought that Mr. Lantang whom she met in Japan had left her behind.

No friends, no lovers, the French can't breathe.

Japan is not romantic at all!
