The heroine of the fighting faction is the strongest

When Edogawa Ranpo came out of Mr. Fukuzawa's office, his face was filled with the anger of "an elementary school student who was reprimanded by the head teacher". Mr. Detective is a talented man, and he often shows calm self-confidence. Dongfang Xueji thinks that he looks like he was in a state of exasperation before, which is quite rare.

However, she soon became the primary school student called by the teacher.Edogawa Ranpo said: "Mr. Fukuzawa is looking for you."

In Dongfang Xueji's mind, she was in her 40s, she looked gentle and kind, but in fact she was very strict with the students... even if she just said a foul word in front of her, she would be asked to write a review...

She shrugged her shoulders and walked into Mr. Fukuzawa's office with small steps like a well-behaved chick.

I don't know if it's her illusion...Mr. Fukuzawa seems to be quite kind, but she just thinks that this gentleman must be scary when he gets angry...

Fortunately, Mr. Fukuzawa didn't blame him for her previous rude behavior (referring to taking Edogawa Ranpo back directly). This gentleman seems to have seen through everything and knew why she was so anxious... Really worthy of it It's the man printed on the banknotes!

He sat Dongfang Yuki down and told her something about Yokohama.For example, like Morioh Town, Yokohama has almost no magic spirits because the "world view" is different from other places in Japan.It is also for this reason that the law and order in Yokohama is better than that in Tokyo.

Dongfang Xueji: "..."

This statement highlights an outrageous point, after all, as far as Dongfang Xueji knows, there is no gangster of this scale in Tokyo now.

But she can understand Mr. Fukuzawa's meaning. After all, for ordinary people, curse spirits and curse masters are still more dangerous than black-gangs!

...This made her doubt the work efficiency of conjurers...

Mr. Fukuzawa said next, however, Yokohama cannot say that there will never be a curse spirit.

He expressed his conjecture: he suspected that the "Human Chair" family was haunted by a curse. The information Edogawa Ranpo got was that the relationship between the host and hostess and the nanny was complicated. It was a pity because he had too little experience. , did not really figure out what the three of them were doing.

When he said this, Mr. Fukuzawa had a complicated expression: "If possible, I don't want you to understand the dark side of interpersonal relationships."

Dongfang Xueji: "..."

Isn't she very understanding?It seems that I will discuss logic with Edogawa Ranpo in the future to see what is wrong with that family...

As for why Mr. Fukuzawa thought that there was a curse spirit in that family, it was because he investigated the past files and found that kidnapping and murder cases had occurred in the place investigated by Edogawa Ranpo.About 20 years ago, a couple kidnapped the only son of the brother-in-law in order to seize the property of the brother-in-law.Their plan is to kidnap the child as an illusion, kill the child, and then kill the sister-in-law in an accidental way, so that if the elder brother is hit, it is better to commit suicide after writing a suicide note. If the other party is unwilling to write a suicide note and leave the family property to them , Kill this brother too.

However, their plan only completed the first step - successfully kidnapped the child, but then the husband of the couple was detained for drunk driving, and the wife was injured in a car accident and was hospitalized. Tell me about the kidnapping... By the time someone finally found out, that poor child had already starved to death.

He was tied too tightly, and the crime took place in a villa area, and the sound insulation effect was very good, which cut off all possibility of the child being rescued.

The child's parents could hardly recognize that it was their child when they identified the body... Later, the poor couple left the city. No one knows where they went, but it is conceivable that they estimated Never want to go back to this sad place again.

The assailant couple were sentenced to heavy sentences, and it is said that even their lawyers were unwilling to help them.

Mr. Fukuzawa Yukichi: "The haunted house was left unused for a long time, and was later photographed by a real estate businessman. He would come to Yokohama to live for a period of time every year to handle the work here."

Dongfang Xueji: "Has he encountered a curse spirit?"

Mr. Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded: "However, he is very business-minded after all, so he refurbished the villa, and taking advantage of the passage of time, when the case of that year was about to be forgotten... the villa Sell ​​it to a foreign trader."

That foreign trade businessman's family was the one that Edogawa Ranpo was investigating before.

This kind of house where a murder case once occurred is indeed a place where curse spirits frequently occur.It's just... Dongfang Xueji couldn't help asking: "Has this curse spirit killed anyone again?"

Mr. Yukichi Fukuzawa seemed not at all surprised that she would ask this question: "There is no record of hurting people, real estate dealers will find it because the food in the kitchen is always reduced for no reason, and they don't find thieves and rodents animal traces."

It sounds so pitiful. He died so badly. After becoming a curse spirit, he never harmed anyone. He just wanted to fill his stomach. Is it because he was starved to death?

Alas, among the curse spirits, there are real people who are begging for beatings, and there are also such poor children.

Dongfang Xueji said: "I understand. Next, I will protect Edogawa Ranpo and assist him in investigating the case."

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "Will you exorcise it?"

This "it" of course refers to the curse spirit.

Dongfang Xueji groaned: "Probably not, it is not harmful. But I will help it find a good place!"

——Mr. Ghost Lamp is short of manpower. Even a small animal like Xiaobai will be treated as a social animal in the underworld... If this starving curse spirit child enters the underworld, he should have a place of his own!

It's that she might complain that Mr. Ghost Lantern employs child labor...

"You really aren't a magician," Mr. Fukuzawa Yukichi said suddenly, "Xue Ji, you are a good boy, are all stand-in messengers like you?"

"Not at all," Dongfang Xueji said sternly: "There are a lot of scum among the stand-in messengers! Don't be fooled by them, Mr. Fukuzawa!"

Mr. Fukuzawa laughed loudly. Now, the image of him and the head teacher in Xue Ji's memory are completely separated.

Dongfang Yuki stepped out of Mr. Fukuzawa's office with brisk steps. She wanted to talk to Edogawa Ranpo about the case.Mr. Fukuzawa only speculated about the curse spirit, but how to explain the "intricate" relationship of the family?

However, she always felt faintly in her heart that she seemed to have forgotten something...

Edogawa ran in the "reception room".

Who is he seeing?Dongfang Xueji poked his head out curiously——

She saw... a iris-colored eye, with a gentle and decent smile (good acting!), tied his permanent bandage, and said to Edogawa Ranpo: "Hello, I have a case and I want to entrust you ..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Huh? I don't have enough time now..."

Having said that, he has already taken out his notebook and is ready to record.

——Why are you so dedicated, detective!Obviously, Holmes and Poirot would listen to the client's narration of the case first, and they would be picky and unwilling to accept mediocre cases? !

She really wanted to rush up and throw this client out!But she can't!

Next to Osamu Dazai was a girl who was sitting quietly with her head bowed.

Mr. Dazai put his hand on her shoulder, which looked very intimate, but Yuki clearly felt...a kind of threat.

Her eyes widened: she finally remembered what she had forgotten!

Kuroyuki!Didn't I agree with you to meet up at the Armed Detective Agency... How did you get caught! ! !
