At first I just wanted to make money

When the novel was being serialized, Xingzi actually received a call from Ranbu. She was very surprised: "Ranbu?"

Humming over there, he looked obviously in a bad mood: "Xingzi is too much! Since you know that I don't know how to call you, then take the initiative to call me! I have been to Tokyo for so long, but I have never called me." One phone call!"

Facing the vexatious Maomao, Xingzi sighed: "Mr. Luanbu, we chat a lot, but we didn't call."

Luanbu didn't expect that his head start would fail, but luckily he still has another trick: "Xingzi hasn't come back to Yokohama to see us after so long, it's too much! It's Xingzi's fault!"

This is true, since she came to Tokyo, she has not returned to Yokohama for more than half a year.

Xingzi immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ranpo, if you don't mind, I'll go back to see you this weekend with a thick snack."

Hearing about the thick dim sum, Luanbu, who was planning to continue to be angry, was immediately satisfied, and reluctantly said: "Okay, for your sincerity, Lord Ranbu will forgive you."

Xingzi breathed a sigh of relief, and Luanbu suddenly said, "I still have three copies of the periodical signed by you!"

Xingzi nodded amusedly, and said indulgently, "Okay."

Seeing that Xingzi agreed, Luanbu was completely coaxed, half complaining and half being coquettish: "Obviously it is a novel written for me, but I can only read it in journals. And Xingzi's plot is about to break away from the detective part Right? It's pretty, but it's too much!"

Xingzi was calm and composed: "Because the plot is right there, the suspenseful part will definitely be there. Does Mr. Luanbu think the novel "Extraordinary Death" is wonderful?"

"Wonderful."

"That's it!" Xingzi said with a satisfied smile.It is a great encouragement for her to be personally certified by Mr. Ranpo.

Just listening to the sound, Ranbu could think of Xingzi's smiling expression, and replied unhappily: "You obviously said you were going to write a detective story! Your mission has gone astray!"

Although the current plot is indeed not bad... well, it is very good-looking.But what Ranpo wants to read most is definitely detective stories.

Xingzi can even design such a complicated plot so well, if he only writes detective novels, it will definitely be more exciting!

Thinking of this, Ranbu became a little angry.Always feel at a loss.

Xingzi replied seriously: "My original intention of writing this article was to make Mr. Luanbu happy, so I didn't go astray!"

The phone was silent for a while, and then Chaos Maomao cursed softly: "Damn it! Xingzi keeps fouling!"

Xingzi is unknown. Therefore, her purpose of writing this book at the beginning was to please Ranpo, which should be very clear to Ranbu.Why are you angry now?

Boys are too difficult to understand, especially this kind of older cats.

"Hey! Don't speak ill of me in your heart!" Luanbu said angrily, "Master Luanbu is not difficult to understand! Obviously Xingzi is too stupid!"

Xingzi said with a good temper: "Okay, okay, I'm too stupid. Mr. Luanbu, see you on the weekend?"

"Hmph, see you on the weekend."

On the weekend, Xingzi went to the Armed Detective Agency with a gift.Not just walking around, she also prepared gifts for others.

When Xie Ye opened the door and saw Xingzi, he was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Teacher Hei Ye! You can't enter without revealing the plot of the next chapter."

Xingzi: ... Dabaa!

"Hoshiko is here?" Odasaku's voice came from inside.Then the red-haired man walked to the door. Although he had no expression on his face, it was surprising that people could feel his happiness.

Hoshiko had talked to Oda Saku before he came. Recently, Oda Saku often travels between Tokyo and Yokohama. The two of them have met many times, and they are not strangers at all.

In the absence of Mr. Fukuzawa, there are only Ranpo, Oda Sakukazu and Yosano in the detective agency.

After Luanbu received the thick snack brought by Xingzi, he immediately took out a satisfying piece and ate it.Xingzi took advantage of this time to quickly tell him what happened in Gaozhuan.

Luanbu frowned and thought, then shook his head: "I have some guesses, but I can't be sure. More evidence is needed."

Hoshiko understood, it seems that we still have to wait until Nanako and Mimiko appear to have any results.

Luanbu looked at Xingzi, and suddenly hated the lesson that iron can't be made of steel: "You should also look at yourself!"

Xingzi raised his head in doubt, then thought he understood the meaning of Luanbu, and explained: "When I help them, I also help myself, and it's not completely selfless."

Ranpo sighed maturely (?): "Xingzi is an idiot, as expected, Master Ranpo should pay more attention. I have a mission to go to Tokyo next week, Xingzi, you will be my assistant."

He used a completely affirmative tone, and he didn't think Xingzi would refuse at all.

Sure enough, Hoshiko's eyes lit up: "Mr. Ranpo is coming to Tokyo? That's great! But I'm not a member of the Armed Detective Agency. Wouldn't it be great to be your assistant?"

"I'll do as long as I say, the boss will not stop me." Ranpo said with certainty.

Oda Saku thought for a while: "It seems that there are tasks for the two children on Monday, right? I should also go to Tokyo with you at that time."

That would be great!Hoshiko said happily: "I remember Haibara Nanami's task is also on Tuesday, Odasaku, will you stay at my house then?"

Odasaku hesitated for a moment: "I..."

Xingzi immediately said: "Don't worry, my house has two rooms."

In order to make her live comfortably, the publishing house specially gave her a house with a lot of space to live in.

"Me, me, me!" Ranpo suddenly came over: "I want to stay at Xingzi's house too! That case may take two days, and Lord Ranpo has no place to live in Tokyo."

Xingzi thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then you two will live in my house, and I will live in Gaozhuan."

Ranpo refused: "No! Oda Saku can only cook curry rice. I want to try Hoshiko's dishes. Hoshiko, you should be able to cook, right? Ranpo-sama's deduction is not wrong!"

This is indeed the fact that Xingzi has been staying at home.Ordering takeaway is convenient, but getting tired of eating too often.

So over time, she has developed a cooking skill.Although it can't be said to be very good, it is still easy to cook an ordinary home-cooked meal for them.

However, there are only two rooms on her side. Although Hoshiko completely believes in the character of Ranpo and Oda Sakunosuke, it is a bit inappropriate to share a room with a boy.

Ranpo could easily see her concerns: "What are you thinking? Of course I am in the same room as Oda!"

So this matter was discussed, Hoshiko also planned to go back to her house in Yokohama to have a look.When leaving the detective agency, Ranpo reminded: "I suggest you bring some crab meat back."

Xingzi froze for a moment, crab meat?Luanbu will definitely not remind this sentence for no reason, the crab meat should not be for Xingzi to eat.The only person she knows who likes to eat crabs is Osamu Dazai.

Hoshiko reacted immediately: "Dazai is at my house now?"

Ranpo nodded: "The moment you stepped into the Armed Detective Agency, Osamu Dazai should have gotten the news."

Hoshiko was about to nod when he suddenly remembered another thing: "Wait, Ranpo, how did you know that Dazai likes to eat crabs?"

Luanpo pouted, and looked at Oda Sakunosuke aside: "It's not because of this guy, since he came to the Armed Detective Agency, the frequency of that coward coming in and out of here has increased a lot."

Oda Sakunosuke said apologetically, "I'm the one who caused trouble for everyone, tomorrow I..."

"It's none of your business!" Luanbu said casually.

Then I heard Oda Sakunosuke finished what he hadn't said just now: "I'll bring you some thick snacks as compensation."

After Oda Sakunosuke finished speaking, he looked at Ranpo who had just spoken hesitantly: "Do you want more thick snacks?"

"Yes!" Ranpo immediately said loudly: "Since Odasaku intends to make up for you, then Ranpo-sama will naturally accept your compensation generously!"

Xingzi left the detective agency amusedly, and came to the Xingping restaurant downstairs.Like half a year ago, Xing Ping Chuangzhen was busy inside as always.But unexpectedly, there was a red-haired man in the restaurant.

Xing Ping Chuangzhen saw Xingzi at the door, and immediately showed a surprised expression: "Xingzi? You came back from Tokyo?"

Xingzi walked into the restaurant and nodded with a smile: "Just come back and take a look, and I will go back to Tokyo tomorrow, and I will come back after a year. Who is this?"

Although this is the question, Xingzi already has the answer in his heart.

Sure enough, Xingping said: "This is my father, Joichiro Xinghei. I went on a trip before, and I just came back recently. Father, this is Hoshiko Momozawa, a customer who used to visit frequently, a very cute lady."

Xingping Chuangzhen's father greeted Xingzi, "Miss Momozawa, thank you for taking care of my son before."

Xingzi shook his head quickly, "No, no, Xingping has been taking care of me. When I was in Yokohama, I relied on his food every day to survive. Uncle can call me Xingzi."

Where did she take care of Xingping Chuangzhen?Obviously Xingping has been taking care of her.

Xing Ping Chuangzhen couldn't hold back his smile and said: "How can you be so exaggerated? Besides, Xingzi, you can cook by yourself!"

Xingzi was slightly stunned, she obviously hadn't cooked for outsiders yet.But why does it feel like the whole world knows that she can cook?

Koichiro Kohei took the initiative and said, "Today is my chef, is there anything Miss Momozawa would like to eat?"

This Xingzi has already thought about it: "Excuse me, can I make crab meat dishes?"

Kohei Joichiro nodded and went over there to cook.Xing Ping Chuangzhen had nothing to do, so he sat opposite Xingzi and chatted with her.

"Xingzi probably doesn't like crab meat that much, why does he want to eat crab meat all of a sudden?"

Xingzi replied: "There is a guest at home. He likes to eat crabs very much."

"So that's it, how was your time in Tokyo?" Xingping asked with interest.

Xingzi smiled and said, "It's pretty good, and I've made quite a few friends during this time in Tokyo."

Xing Ping Chuangzhen looked at the gentle smile on her face, and sighed sincerely: "That's really great."

Xingzi now has obviously changed a lot from when he first met.Xing Pingchuang really clearly remembered that although Xingzi was very gentle at that time, his eyes were empty, and he felt confused when doing anything.But now there is light in her eyes.

This makes Xing Ping Chuangzhen, who is a friend, very pleased.

When he got home, Hoshiko turned on the light, and sure enough, there was another person on the sofa—Osamu Dazai in black and bandaged sitting there.
