Port Mafia's strongest son-in-law

That night.

The thin clouds cover the moonlight like a tulle, and there are almost no stars.

Sakata was walking on the road with a flashlight.There was silence all around, the street lamps were flickering on and off, and there was a whirring sound from time to time.He is an ordinary clerk in a shopping mall. Every day after get off work, he will take this path back to his rented house. There are very few people on this path, especially now, there is no one, and the street lamps are in disrepair. a strike.

People struggling at the bottom of society are always unmotivated, struggling to get enough food and clothing and working hard for cars and houses. Masaichi Sakata is no exception, but fortunately, he is not a cynical person, and he has a good relationship with his colleagues. I fell in love for a few days, and the object was the most beautiful girl in the mall.

So he's been in a good mood recently.

"Huh? Strange." Sakata turned around and raised the flashlight a little higher, hoping to illuminate it further, but there was nothing behind him.

"Why do I always feel that someone is following me?" He turned around and muttered in a low voice as he walked forward.

However, the feeling of being followed was still lingering. He turned around several times to check that there was no one behind him, but he still couldn't get rid of that feeling.

When I was in school, all kinds of anecdotes and strange stories on campus flooded into my mind, and an emotion called fear strangled Sakata Masaichi's heart.

"Don't come here...don't kill me...don't kill me...don't come here..." He kept muttering, his trembling voice was intermittent, which seemed very strange in this extraordinarily quiet night.

The blood color faded from Sakata Masaichi's face, and he walked faster and faster.And the invisible thing behind him also followed him faster and faster, spraying the back of his neck with an icy-cold breath with an indescribable stench, causing a shiver.

He even felt a clammy tongue licking the back of his neck.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, or he could no longer move forward...

The next day.

"The deceased Sakata Shoichi was an ordinary employee of a nearby shopping mall." Ango Sakaguchi pushed his glasses, looked at the dead body in front of him, and couldn't help frowning.

It was not a complete corpse, the left arm and the shoulder were missing, revealing the white ribs with shredded meat and mixed internal organs, the edges of the wounds of the corpse were uneven, it seemed As if bitten by a ferocious beast and then torn apart, the arms and legs were distorted as if there were no bones, only the head was still intact, and the round eyes seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying.

Do not look down.

The young man in a brown cloak and peaked cap was bending over to observe the corpse seriously. After a few seconds, he raised his head and asked with a smile: "It doesn't seem like it was caused by a person with supernatural powers, does it belong to you?" Are you in charge of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, Ango-kun?"

"Because this kind of case is obviously not done by ordinary people, it is still handled by our Supernatural Secret Service Division. We also hope that this is the work of a supernatural person, but we really can't determine the nature of the murderer, so we entrust you. "Ango Sakaguchi looked seriously at the young man in the brown cloak, who just happened to look up.

"Mr. Edogawa Ranpo from the Armed Detective Agency."

"Of course, Ranpo-sama is a detective."

Ango Sakaguchi nodded slightly, and continued to introduce the case in a serious manner: "This is not the first case of this kind of bizarre death, and overall, although the victims are random, the corpses left behind are becoming more and more complete. It also tends to be specific.”

"That's because "it" evolved. "Edogawa Ranpo pointed to the wound on the shoulder and said, "The cause of death of the deceased was heart rupture, so only the left chest and shoulder were attacked. This shows that the thing that caused this death already possessed elementary intelligence. and judgement. "

"Mr. Edogawa Ranpo already knows?"

"I know." Edogawa Ranpo took out a pair of old black-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on, "Supernatural power—"super reasoning"! "

He squinted his eyes, and those eyes seemed to contain everything, and he saw the real murderer through this scene where no one could see the clue.

"...Ah...so that's how it is." Edogawa raised the corners of his mouth in disorder, with a childlike innocence in his confident smile, "The murderer is really not human... Ango-kun, while that thing is not there yet, It is best to eliminate him when he "grows up", but if he wants to find the real culprit, it may be a little troublesome. "

"Please also explain how to find the real culprit?"

Edogawa Ranpo showed a meaningful smile.

"Then I will send someone to Tokyo."
