The guests arrived one after another, and Kunikida finally got rid of Ryuichi Akita and returned to Ranpo and Izumi Hoshino.

"Thank you, Mr. Kunikida." Izumi Hoshino handed over a cup of warm tea.

Kunikida thanked him for taking it, drank it in one gulp, put the teacup on the coffee table behind him, loosened his tie and sighed: "No wonder the president didn't want to come, if Mr. Akita was not busy entertaining other people, I would It’s going to be gone too.”

Being pestered to ask about the deeds of various cases, he said nothing.I don't know how the Akita Councilor, who has always been known for his rigidity, has such a curious son.

"He didn't pester you out of curiosity." Ranpo saw through Kunikida's thoughts at a glance.

Kunikida got used to his sharpness.Mr. Ranpo, who maintains the state of activating the "super reasoning" ability, has the ability to see through the truth at a glance. "why?"

"Aquan, tell me." Ranpo threw the question to Izumi Hoshino.

Izumi Hoshino couldn't resist Kunikida's staring gaze. "I think it's safer to stay with Mr. Kunikida."

"Safe?" Kunikida blinked, feeling as if he had missed some important message.Could it be that because he was the one being entangled, even a layman like Hoshino Izumi could see the problem, as a detective, he didn't notice it?

This is not a good thing.Kunikida felt ashamed that he was too relaxed.

He looked around and asked in a low voice: "Is someone planning to cause trouble at the memorial service? Is it the enemy of Representative Akita? Or the enemy of other guests?"

As more and more people came to the venue, he also saw many high-ranking officials and famous stars who would only appear on TV, which showed the wide network of Akita family.With so many dignitaries and dignitaries gathering, it is not uncommon for criminals to target this place.

I carefully recalled that when I entered, I saw security guards at the door, patrolling the courtyard, and there were quite a few bodyguards standing by in the corner of the venue.In terms of security, it is so strict that it is suspicious.

He wanted to ask clearly, but Luanbu didn't want to explain his doubts.He didn't forget what Kunikida offended him before.Besides, the famous detective is not a teacher who can answer every question, it is the fault of Kunikida who didn't even see through such simple things.

"It's that monk." Hoshino Izumi kindly answered Kunikida, who was so anxious that his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and said softly, "As a member of parliament's memorial service, the monk invited to preside over it is not a well-known domestic monk. , but a lay monk who doesn't lose his hair, isn't it strange?"

"I know the reason for this." A voice came from the side.

A young man wearing a black top hat and dressed like an English gentleman took off his hat apologetically, bowed to them and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I'm right behind you and my hearing is better. "

Immediately afterwards, he continued: "It is said that the monk is a close friend of Mr. Akita, and Mr. Akita did not believe in Buddhism during his lifetime. He has told people many times that he will not invite monks to chant scriptures at his funeral, but this is a tradition. The process that must go through the funeral may be so that the Akita family will invite Mr. Xia You to preside over it. If a friend is in charge, Akita Councilor will not blame his family if he is alive."

"You are the son of the White Horse Police Chief, that Japanese-English mixed-race high school student detective, White Horse Detective?" Although it was a question sentence, Ranpo insisted on saying it as an affirmative sentence.

Tan Baima was a little flattered. "As expected of the legendary Edogawa famous detective, I deliberately didn't go with my father, so you saw through it."

"I just saw it in the newspaper. Well, compared to those empty-headed goldfish, you look a bit better." Luanbu said casually.

The words were very rude, but the white horse detective just smiled, not annoyed by the offence.Just at this moment, the Baima Police Chief who was familiar with Luanbu came over. He smiled so that his eyes narrowed into two small crescents, the corners of his eyes were deeply wrinkled, and the beard at the corner of his mouth was raised up and down when he spoke.

"Isn't this Ranpo-kun? The last time we met was three months ago, and he's still in high spirits." As the highest officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Mr. Baiba doesn't have the kind of high-ranking and powerful person who will always put him off. shelf.Instead, he grasped Ranbu's hand familiarly, and shook it heavily.

Ranbu puffed his cheeks at an angle that Hoshino Izumi couldn't see, and withdrew his hand and said, "If you hadn't pestered the president to be a kendo teacher, I wouldn't be here today."

"Oh, you can't blame me for this. Who made Senior Fukuzawa's swordsmanship be the best in the country. In the dojo we studied together in the past, his legend is still circulating. He and Master Fukuchi are two swords combined. Invincible all over the world!"

"Master Fudi?" Izumi Hoshino was curious.A person who can be called an adult by such a high-ranking official must have a much higher status than the other party.

"Fukuchi Sakurachi, known as a living hero, is the captain of the military and police special operations force 'Hound Dog'." Inspector Baima thoughtfully explained, "The missions his troops have taken over at home and abroad all claim that the success rate is close to Yu Ling's extremely dangerous mission, but he never failed."

It can be seen that Baima Tan also admires Fudi Yingchi very much.Mr. Baima showed a proud expression, stroked his beard and nodded in agreement. "Well, to have such two insurmountable seniors, as a junior, I'm still far behind."

"Mingming is much older than the president, is it really good to be so thick-skinned?" Ranbu squinted his eyes and said.

Mr. Baima patted his chest, facing his son's helpless gaze, and said calmly: "It has nothing to do with age, although I entered the dojo earlier than these two, they graduated earlier than me! "

"By the way, what did you whisper just now? Even though I am old, I am also very interested in young people's topics." Mr. Baima leaned over enthusiastically, and whispered in a volume that only the few of them could hear. with.

After all, he is also a big figure in the Metropolitan Police Department. Although Kunikida has a bit of trouble with Mr. Hakuba's character, he still briefly described the topic they had just talked about.Of course, he didn't mention that there might be prisoners lurking in the venue.

Mr. Ranpo is not an alarmist. Since he hinted that something will happen in the venue, Kunikida will naturally pay attention.Mr. Hakuba is a policeman, logically speaking, this kind of thing should be told to the other party, but Kunikida also has his own concerns.

If they startled the enemy and the other party was not prepared to do something, they would be considered a false alarm.Furthermore, even the owner of the venue knew that something would happen, but they just strengthened the security and did not notify the police. There must be some problems.

Ranpo didn't have as many mental activities as Kunikida, and said very simply: "Mr. Hakuba, you came just in time, I want to call the police."

Not to mention Baiba father and son, Kunikida and Hoshino Izumi didn't expect Ranpo to say it so decisively.Naturally, Mr. Baima didn't think that Luanbu was joking, but subconsciously stood in front of these people, using his broad back to block the sight of potential prisoners behind him.

Ask in a low voice: "Who is the prisoner?"

"I told you that the police can't handle it, and ordinary people can't take over the next thing." Luanbu casually picked up a piece of big fortune from the coffee table, took a small bite, and waited until the appetite of these people was whetted, before he walked slowly He said, "You have it, right? The way to contact the conjurer. The prisoner is a famous and dangerous curse master in the most wanted list in the conjuration world. He intends to use the curse spirit to resurrect the dead after the funeral and kill everyone present." It's a drama, Kunikida alone can't protect so many people."

A few drops of cold sweat fell from the corners of Mr. Baima's forehead, and a gust of wind happened to blow behind him, and the coolness from his back made him dull to realize that he was already drenched in sweat.

"Rep. Akita...was indeed killed by a curse spirit. This matter was transferred to the Conjuration Specialist." He grabbed Tan Baima's hand tightly and said sharply, "Don't look around, restrain your expression , don’t let anyone notice your strangeness.”

Baima Tan swallowed hard. Given his background, it is not surprising that he knows about the magic world and magic spirits.But as a person who has been studying in the UK all year round, this is the first time he has been so close to a curser, and he is still a wanted curser.

"Father, just listen to Mr. Detective. This is no longer a situation that ordinary people can handle." Detective Baima said.

"No, the police will still be there." Luanbu's next words made Mr. Baima, whose heart was already in his throat, stop breathing in fright.

It involves the lives of so many people present, and the wanted criminal of the conjurer, and now you come to tell him that the police can do something?

It's not that Mr. Baima has never experienced the terrifying existence of conjurers, because he knows that ordinary people can't handle this kind of situation, even if he organizes the evacuation of people now, it's too late.

Only magicians and dying people can see the magic spirit, and the magic spirit can easily kill human beings, but non-magicians cannot harm the magic spirit.If the crowd is evacuated with great fanfare, the prisoner is anxious, and he directly attacks with the curse spirit regardless, that is to die!

The best solution is to quietly contact the High School of Conjuration and ask them to send someone to deal with it. There are still more than 20 minutes before the memorial service officially starts.

But the police still have to be dispatched... Will there be any crisis other than the murder of the cursed master?

"Ah, it's already here." Luanbu said surprisingly.

Hoshino Izumi's body issued instructions faster than his brain, and he pulled Ranbu behind him, and looked towards the door with several others.

All I saw was a petite man in a black three-piece suit and top hat, followed by several rows of men in black suits and sunglasses, striding into the venue.

The air in the venue seemed to freeze after he appeared.And in the back, the butler who hurried over said anxiously: "Mr. Zhongyuan, you can't just go in like this..."

Before Zhong Yuanzhong could react, some people in the venue had already recognized his identity.

"It's Zhongya in the Central Plains! The cadre of the port mafia, the gravity envoy of one of the double blacks!"

"How come? Is he also here to express his condolences?!"

"What are you thinking, who expresses condolences like this! This is not Yokohama! Where is the security guard, where is the security guard?!"

The meeting place was already in chaos. A subordinate behind Nakaya took out a gun from his coat and fired three shots at the ceiling.

The noisy crowd seemed to have their throats choked, unable to make a sound.Just putting on a face is enough to make most people who know of his existence surrender directly to the mafia cadre, his cold eyes swept across the audience, and fixed on Xia Youjie who was talking with Ryuichi Akita.

"Xia Youjie, right?" Zhong Yuan Zhong also sneered, and said coldly, "Choose a place, it's here." He pointed to the floor under his feet, and then to the ceiling. "It's still in the sky. I can do it, it's up to you."
