Correct use of working cell No. U-4869

Belmode returned to the hotel smoothly from the first night of the detective competition.

Because of the fact that Yuku called Karl, and Karl asked him when he would go back, Cohen and Chianti had already left.This already shows that Belmode contacted Karl.

When the two returned to the hotel together, Karl waited at the door for a while, but his expression was not bad at all.When he saw Yu Jiu, Karl's stern expression also relaxed: "Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the luggage beside him, Yu Jiu asked curiously, "Are you planning to go back too?"

"Originally there was something going on in Japan..." Carl glanced at Edogawa Ranpo who was next to him with his hands in his pockets. Seeing that he didn't evade at all, he continued, "There's nothing going on in America now. We'll see you in Japan, and we'll go find him when the time comes." you."

Carl stuffed a mobile phone into Yuku, and there were two envelopes by the way, the thick one was obviously money, but the thin one couldn't find anything.

"The information fee is saved for you. You can have fun in the United States. Don't tell others." Carl seemed to be in a good mood, and he gave the money very quickly. He said, "The other one was given to you by her."

Here she should be Belmode.

Could it be money too?

Yujiu felt as if he was celebrating the New Year, and recently got soft with money.Before he could open it for inspection, Karl patted Yuku on the back affectionately, and left directly.Because of this gentle gesture from an elder, Yujiu suddenly wondered if the other party regarded him as a friend, and for a moment wavered about what he might do in the future.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't say a single thing about them at the side. After seeing the people leave, Yujiu was still fiddling with the envelope in his hand, and Ranpo bumped Yujiu with his elbow: "Show Ranpo-sama what's inside chant?"

Seeing Edogawa's carefree appearance, Yu Jiu also put aside his extra thoughts, and responded: "Okay."

Inside the thin envelope were two tickets to the premiere of the film "Eyes Closed," the latest thriller by Oscar-winning actress Sharon Wynyard.This kind of movie premiere is usually attended by the director and main actors of the movie.There will also be some extras and movie highlights at the meeting.

"I don't really want to go." Edogawa said, poking his lips in Luanbu, "It looks boring, why should I listen to other people's nonsense?"

"However, watching movies is really good. I haven't watched many movies. Moreover, Mr. Ellen is not good at chatting, and he can sit next to him for two hours."

As soon as Luanbu heard about Edgar Allan Poe, he was in a bad mood. He pursed his lips and said, "He seems to be a very clingy type. If you treat him well, he will definitely pester you."

Yujiu only felt that Poe was approachable, frank and natural, and spoke kindly, and the main thing was that after a while, one of them was in the United States and the other was in Japan, and it was difficult for them to get together.This is the so-called one session one session.So, while they were still in the United States, Yu Jiu wanted to treat him better.

However, Ranpo didn't have the habit of making friends, so Yujiu also understood Ranpo's thoughts.

Yujiu said: "I think Mr. Ellen will become a good friend with you. Mr. Ellen likes reasoning just like you. One of you likes to make questions, and the other can decipher. If you spend more time together, you will Like him. Maybe you'll like him more than me."

Ranbu narrowed his eyes and stared at Yuku, stepped on Yuku's feet, and strode directly to the hotel room.

"Mr. Ranpo, the cafeteria is not there, you are lost."

"I'm full, I don't want to eat!" Luan Bu said without looking back.

"..."

Yu Jiu really couldn't figure out why Ranbu was unhappy, so he could only follow his footsteps.

Ranbu heard Yujiu following behind, annoyed and said angrily, "Don't follow me."

Yu Jiu said innocently: "You don't have a room card, so you can't get to the room. At least let me open the door for you first."

Luanbu choked for an instant.He stomped his feet directly, turned around and let out an annoyed "roar" towards Yu Jiu's face.Yu Jiu was taken aback by the sudden madness of Ranpo.Then he saw Luanbu snatch his room card and walk straight into the elevator.

Yu Jiu was really worried that Ranbu would be so irritable, that in addition to high blood pressure, he would be prone to cerebral hemorrhage in the future.It was rare for Edogawa Ranpo to win the game today, Uku still wanted to celebrate with him, so he bought a lot of snacks and desserts outside before returning to the room.

It was pitch black inside.

Yujiu opened the door, the light from the corridor shone into the room, and one could see that there were actually two dining cars inside the room.The room was filled with the smell of food, and the bell-shaped quilt on the bed was still up and down, but when the door opened, it froze instantly.

"Mr. Ranpo, I'm afraid you're hungry, so I bought something for you."

Edogawa Ranbu didn't speak, and when he heard the sound, he simply got out of the bed, hugged the dinner plate and continued to eat, his cheeks were stuffed like a hamster.Yu Jiu saw that Luanbu chewed it for a long time without swallowing it, so he handed him the juice.

Just walking around without holding it, Lu Tong stared at Yu Jiu, and began to drink from Yu Jiu's hand.

"Are you still angry?"

"Yeah!" Seeing that Yujiu was about to speak, Ranbu said, "If you want to say sorry, you should first understand what you feel sorry for. If you don't know anything, then don't say it."

"..."

"Being my friend is so tiring. I just have a bad temper, I just get angry easily, and I like to make trouble for no reason," Luanbu sat cross-legged on the bed, biting the fried chicken, and continued, "I'm I've sorted it out. I don't want to be angry anymore, as I said, I only have one friend. Do you want me to choose you or choose Ellen, it's up to you."

Yujiu didn't expect that Ranpo was angry because of this incident.

"What kind of friends do I want to make, why should you arrange them. And your view on making friends is very strange. You always want to corrupt me with your wrong values. How can a person make many friends?"

After listening to the previous part, Yu Jiu still felt that his thoughts were indeed too egotistical, but the last sentence made him unable to bear the question marks.

Why can't a person make many friends?

"Then since you think my actions are wrong, why did you change your mind and want to be friends with me?" Don't you really think his "my friend is your friend" plan is pretty good?

As soon as he said this, Edogawa ran and bit the fried chicken leg, chewing dryly, chewing, chewing until Yuku saw that the bone of the chicken leg was bare.

Uku's gaze made Edogawa Ranpo finally let go.

"Again, you begged me again."

"It seems to be." Yujiu remembered that he was really entangled with Edogawa Ranpo, "Because I like you very much and want to be friends with you."

"What do you like about me? Are you smart? Or are you very smart? Or are you very, very smart?" Ranpo's answer was very interesting, with "You praise me a lot" written all over his face.

Yujiu hadn't thought about this question before, but he felt that Edogawa Ranpo was very special.

"You are very energetic, very cheerful, very lively, very straightforward. Of course, you are also very smart."

"My biggest advantage is actually at the end!"

Uku clearly felt that Edogawa Ranpo's mood improved a lot, anyway, the topic of "friends" has no conclusion.So Yujiu simply pointed to the futon covered with fried crumbs and sauce on the bed, changed the subject and said, "Your futon has become greasy, what should you do at night?"

Luanbu glanced at his own bed, and said nonchalantly: "Then I will sleep on your bed. Lord Ranbu is very good at taking care of himself."

Ranpo said that if he was not angry, he would really not be angry, and he ate happily. Seeing Yujiu watching from the side, he pushed the dining cart to him.

"The president said, I'm older than you, I still have to take care of you. You eat by yourself."

When going to sleep at night, Ranpo and Natsume Yuhisa shared the same bed back to back.Yujiu couldn't figure out why Ranbu obviously didn't like the theory of making friends with him, but he still thought about making friends with him.Now that he is dissatisfied, do I have to start from scratch?

Yujiu thinks about it, if he misses this opportunity now, he doesn't know when he can talk to Ranpo about being friends next time.

Maybe success is imminent and then suddenly fails?

Yujiu felt that he cared very much.

Yu Jiu was still thinking about it, and Ranbu directly hit him with his head and back.

"Your breathing is bothering me. Can you go to bed earlier?"

Yu Jiu simply sat up, lowered his head and asked Edogawa Ranpo, "Mr. Ranpo, can I tell you something?"

Luanbu grabbed a corner of the quilt, covered his stomach and said, "Say."

"Can I be your friend? If you say you don't want to, I won't bother you."

"Then will you be nice to me in the future?"

"I'm good to my friends."

"If you treat me better than them, I will agree." Ranbu said confidently, "This is my biggest concession."

"How do you count as 'better than them all'? "

"Then at least you can't ignore me when I'm angry.

When I am happy, you have to be happy with me. You have to take care of me, and you are not allowed to hate me.

Even if I say I hate you, you are not allowed to hate me.

You must buy me a cake for my birthday, I like to eat a lot of cakes.

The most important thing is, you have to like me, always like me, if there is anything about me that makes you unhappy, just tell me directly.Don't speak ill of me behind my back with others for your own pleasure.Then in front of me, he said that I am the best.I know what it means to be emotional, and I also know what it means to be in a bad mood for a while, but I don't understand what a good friend does.I'd rather you have a bad time with me, and don't want to be double-faced. "

"..."

Isn't this a basic requirement?

Mr. Ranpo really didn't make friends.

"If it corresponds, I will treat you very well. As long as I can fulfill your request, I will satisfy it. How?" Edogawa patted his stomach in disorder and said, "I will let you You know the benefits of being a good friend of Master Ranpo who is number one in the world."

"Okay." Yu Jiu lay down again, facing Luanbu, and said, "I can promise you. Then we will be good friends from now on. Do we want to tick?"

Even in the dark night, Ranpo could still feel Natsume Yuku's sight and smell the body wash on him.It was Haku's habit to take a bath before going to bed.After taking a bath, his heat also came over.

Luanbu moved towards the wall and said, "Master Luanbu is not a child, I'm going to sleep."

Seeing that Ranpo was so talkative, Yu Jiu took the opportunity to ask: "If we go out to watch a movie tomorrow, can we bring Mr. Ellen with us? We won't have a chance to meet after we leave."

"He is one of my defeated opponents, so why should I care about it?" Ranbu saw Yujiu drilled into the space he retreated from, and felt that Yujiu was less than five centimeters away from him, subconsciously itched all over his body, and pushed Yujiu away With fluffy hair, he said, "I know. Just take it with you. Anyway, the conditions have been set. Among all your friends, you must like me the most."

Although Ranbu didn't know what kind of scene this would be, anyway, let's just say this first.

"However, let me explain in advance. Although I said verbally that I want you to like me the most, you should not be too clingy. I am a very self-reliant person, and I don't like others to pester me."

"Oh."

In the middle of the night, Yu Jiu felt this.

Edogawa Ranpo kicked him off the bed three times.Thinking about whether he should tie him up or sleep on another bed, Yujiu decided to turn the quilt that was soiled by Chaossteps upside down, choose the clean side, and sleep on it, so he slept until dawn.

After waking up, Luanbu faced Yujiu who was sleeping on the other bed, and said proudly: "Hmph, this is the first time I know someone who sleeps so badly that he can sleep from his own bed to another bed."

"..."

※※※※※

Uku, Ranpo, and Poyo meet in Times Square.

Edgar Allan Poe was going to take them to the museum.According to their process, they can visit four exhibition halls in one day.

Because it was the first time to go out with friends, Poe was still nervous. The butler at home heard that he was going out to play with friends. He was afraid that he would be looked down upon, so he wore two of the thickest Rolex diamond-studded wrists on his hands. The watch was so heavy that he felt like he was wearing two handcuffs.Carl the raccoon also wore a gold collar, and he was so uncomfortable that he kept pulling on his collar all the time.

Poe was still waiting when suddenly he was bumped into.Times Square had a lot of people, so he stepped back subconsciously, and said "I'm sorry", but when he lowered his head again, he found that his watch was missing, and there was a person in a gray coat in front of him who kept walking towards him. run forward.

"Small, thief!"

Edgar Allan Poe had just realized this before he yelled out. He didn't see the bodyguards around him moving, and a phantom like lightning flew out of his peripheral vision.

The boy in the white baseball cap caught up to the thief within a few breaths. When he was close to the opponent, he jumped, using the acceleration to take off, pointed his elbow directly at the back of the thief, and slammed it. A bone cracking sound followed.

Looking at the thief himself again, he seemed to have been hit on the back of the head, his head was like a swimmer needing to change oxygen in the water, his neck was stretched, his head was thrown back, and screams of pain overflowed unconsciously.Although the passers-by around didn't know what happened, they witnessed such a scene with their own eyes, and their bodies shrank in fright, and their backs felt cold.

When the thief fell to the ground, several wallets were scattered around him, as well as Poe's watch.The boy looked around and said, "Is there anyone calling the police?"As soon as the words fell, with him as the center, passers-by quickly backed away like an ebb tide.

Yujiu was wondering if no one could understand his English, Edogawa walked in his pockets, and slowly approached from far to near: "Have you caught the thief?"

"Correct."

Yujiu threw the chaotic duck coin purse into his hand, and then saw Edgar Allan Poe, who was dressed in red and green like a Christmas tree, and his whole body was shining.Yu Jiu shook his hand and said, "Mr. Ellen, can you help call the police?"

Luanbu picked up the Rolex that fell on the ground, and said, "Is this the Christmas tree man's watch?"

Only then did Yuku see that Edgar Allan Poe had a similar watch on his other hand.His face turned pale like the passers-by around him, and he was a little puzzled, is this thief so terrifying?

"Mr. Ellen, are you okay? The thief has been subdued by me."

In less than 5 minutes, the police who were notified by passers-by were about to arrest Yujiu.Seeing Uehisa's good-natured face, the policeman was suddenly puzzled: "A passer-by reported to the police that a thug beat ordinary people in public..."

Yu Jiu was also puzzled and looked at the police: "I didn't see the mob, I only saw the thief."

Under the evidence, the police took away the fainted thief.

Yujiu didn't know why the people around him kept looking at him cautiously, seeing that he said "only saw the thief", they looked like they wanted to say something but dared not say it.But after all, it was the end of the matter, Yu Jiu greeted Allan Poe again.

"I hope we're not late." Yuku said, "When we were on the road just now, Mr. Ranpo's wallet was targeted. After walking for four or five minutes, we found out that things were stolen, so it took some time."

"fine."

Edgar Allan Poe didn't care whether Yujiu answered the questions correctly, but he didn't expect that Yujiu could not only use his brain, but also be so fierce in skill.In fact, just the moment he pounced on him, Ellen Poe wondered if the opponent would be knocked into the air, but Yu Jiu directly hit the opponent to the ground with his elbow.Edgar Allan Poe couldn't even imagine being punched by Yujiu, what would happen?

"You seem to be very powerful."

"Just to catch a thief."

Poe said with a dry smile, "Haha."

Yu Jiu loosened his shoulders and fists and said, "Mr. Ellen, if there is no problem, can we go to the movies?"

Edgar Allan Poe, who originally planned to visit the museum for a day, saw Yuku's series of actions that seemed to be warming up, and he didn't even hesitate to object: "Okay!"

Edogawa Ranpo pointed to Poe and said, "He seems to have a bodyguard. Just after buying gifts, someone helped him buy things."

"Hey, can it be?" Uji subconsciously looked at Poe.

Poe hung his head and said in pain: "Do you think it is possible for me to say no to you?"He had just finished speaking when he saw Yu Jiu stretching his hand towards his face.Poe winced in fright, only to find Haku undoing the raccoon's golden collar.

"This is for Karl, haven't you noticed?"

It was only then that Poe noticed that his little pet had been strangled—too nervous today!

Ellen looked at Yu Jiu's obedient face, and said dryly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Yu Jiu didn't care about this small effort, and continued, "Can we go shopping?"

There are quite a lot of things that Dateair wants to give to his girlfriend and his family, so the things are handbags that girls will like and health care products that old people will need.But these are very specific, and others say casually, which makes Yujiu very troubled.

He can't even pick a name.

"Anyway, let's go buy health care products first."

"No need." Edogawa Ranpo handed the list to Poe's entourage, and said, "Just solve the most difficult part directly. Leave the trivial things to others to buy. If you buy things , just think about what the other party needs?"

"Think about what they need..."

Yujiu asked Edgar Allan Poe what digital products are nearby.

Edgar Allan Poe was in trouble, and the narrator's bodyguard handed over a piece of paper, which was filled with a list of must-buy special products in the United States and the shopping malls where he bought them.

"Look at the above and choose."

Poe handed the paper to Haku.

Yu Jiu couldn't help being surprised and said: "Mr. Ellen, it's really great to have you here!"

Edogawa next to him let out a dissatisfied "tss".Yuku looked towards Edogawa Ranpo, but Ranpo turned his head without giving any response.

With the shopping list in hand, Yujiu knew better what he should buy.Hagiwara Kenji often has social gatherings and friendships, so he often needs to use his wallet, so he bought a black wallet with textured bridle leather; he bought a silver Zippo lighter for Matsuda Jinhei who likes to smoke; Braun electric razor; Jiang Gu Ling bought a highly practical and multi-functional Victorinox Swiss Army knife; Date Airlines gave him a pair of sunglasses for going out to disguise.

As for Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai, they both gave a mobile phone, and there will be a way to keep in touch in the future.

"Mr. Ranpo, what do you want?"

Yujiu actually wanted to give him an electric toothbrush, and he suspected that Luanbu would need to pull out his teeth after five years.

"I want that."

Edogawa Ranpo took Uku all the way to the candy store, pointing at the five-kilogram gummy bear.The gummy was about the size of a few-month-old baby, and it was packed in a whole cardboard box.Ranbu pointed and licked his lips, as if he wanted to eat it right away after Yujiu bought it.

"This can't be eaten here."

"Eh----"

Even though Ranpo was complaining, Yuku still insisted on his own ideas.After the gifts were settled, they went to the movies.Uku thought the movie was pretty good, but Edogawa Ranpo and Poe both fell asleep.When the movie ended, it was dusk, and as soon as I left the movie theater, a star-like golden light shone down.At the same time, street singers followed suit.

With a thought, Yu Jiu immediately took out his phone.Seeing this, Poe and Ranpo Edogawa waved their hands at the same time and refused, saying, "No, I don't want to take pictures."

Yu Jiu looked at the two of them so emotionally excited: "I didn't intend to take pictures of you."

"..."

"..."

※※※※※

Yujiu was not very playful, after buying everything, he stayed for another day before returning to Japan.Although Shuichi Akai had some prisoners escaped, he still sent Uku and Ranpo Edogawa to the airport specially.

Akai Shuichi was in the car, and said: "I'm afraid that some friend will say that I don't have the kindness of a landlord at all, and I didn't even give it away."

When Yu Kui saw Akai Shuichi was also talking, his eyes kept staring at him: "Is there something on my face?"

"No ah."

Akai Hideichi couldn't laugh or cry, this guy must have forgotten what he said at the airport before.But it's not interesting to talk about it anymore, it's a story.

Akai Shuichi looked at Poe in the back row again.Edgar Allan Poe is also a well-known figure among the young rich.Yujiu still remembered that Poe was an insider in the black organization. If he was too nervous and was discovered by Shuichi Akai, he would not be able to do so, so he gave him the gift that was originally planned for Poe in advance.

"A pen?"

"This kind of pen is very useful for writing. I asked specifically about it." Yujiu said, "I have someone engrave your name on it."

"When did you buy it?" Poe was surprised.In the past few days, being taken by them and forced to go to movie theaters, water parks and food courts that he himself would never go to, he felt uncomfortable at first, but after putting in it, it was quite interesting, had a lot of fun, and felt that the time passed Soon, he didn't expect that he also had a gift.

Ranpo propped his chin in displeasure and said, "When he went to the cinema on the first day, he sneaked out halfway." The reason for Ranpo's displeasure was that the gift Yuku secretly bought for him was a set of electric toothbrushes.

Poe was very touched and said, "But I have nothing for you. I'll buy you a present at the airport."

"No, I'm very happy to meet you here. If it weren't for you, my trip to the United States would not have been so smooth." Yujiu couldn't explain things so clearly, but he was very grateful to Poe for doing it Such a detective competition directly reduced the confrontation with the FBI.

Edgar Allan Poe's face was heated by the praise, and he opened the car window directly to blow the air.

Edogawa Ranpo squinted at Poe the whole time, until Yuku looked at him, and Ranpo let out a "hum".

There were still five people when we came by plane, and there were only two of them when we returned.Edogawa Ranbu sat next to Yuku, propped his chin and said, "What did you watch last time? You watched it for so long."

"A TV show. Do you want to watch it?"

Yujiu didn't expect that Ranpo had always cared about it.

"I want to see."

"it is good."

When I saw the middle, the voice of Luanbu rang in Yujiu's ear and said, "... Who are you going to give the recording after you left the movie theater that day?"

"It's for..."

Before Yu Jiu finished speaking, Ranbu interrupted Yu Jiu: "Forget it, I don't want to know. Anyway, I don't need that kind of gift. Although I don't like you like this, but you are such a person, I What else can I do?"

"..."

Yuku had no idea what Ranpo was talking about.

※※※※※

When Osamu Dazai heard that the gift Uku gave him in the United States was a mobile phone similar to that of Zhongyuan, he almost knew that it was for special contact in the future.

This gift is said to make people happy, right?

general.

Makes people unhappy, right?

nor.

Just average.

After Osamu Dazai received the gift, he threw it to his subordinates and asked them to help charge it.But the subordinate said that the mobile phone is just turned off and does not need to be charged.And there are seven or eight similar text messages in the phone - "You have received a recording, please check it".

Osamu Dazai was worried that Yuku would use some personal words to make his whole body covered in goosebumps, and at the same time wondered what Yuku was doing.So I went to a place where no one was there and started listening.

Each is only a few tens of seconds, and the longest one is a minute and a half.When I opened it, I heard the voices of people from different places, including the sound of fireworks, the sound of playgrounds, and the classical music of restaurants.

Osamu Dazai couldn't help frowning, still not understanding the riddle inside.

He pressed it randomly, so he skipped to the last recording.

"These are all the famous places in New York that I have been to. I don't know when you will have the opportunity to come to the other side of the world. Maybe there is no chance, but I still hope to bring that place to your life through sound. Let's walk together as if This is New York. If I go to other countries in the future, I will record it for you again.”

"..."

...the idiot.

Osamu Dazai clicked on the first recording, which was recorded in Times Square.

The sound of crowds on the street, and singers singing "Stronger" by CleanBandit.

When Osamu Dazai heard halfway, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Dazai."

Osamu Dazai did not turn off the recording, but let Qingyang's lyrics and bright melody beat his heart step by step.

Like a student waiting for the results of the college entrance examination, Yu Jiu asked Dazai curiously, "How about the gift?"

"Sucks."

"..."

Yujiu felt that he was very hardworking.

——Detective Competition Chapter END.

The author has something to say: "Stronger" song from CleanBandit:

Peopletellmebecautious people tell me to always be cautious

This song was originally intended for Ranpo, but because of "Maggie's gift", I gave it to Dazai first.Find something more suitable later.
