At first I just wanted to make money

In the end, Hoshiko failed to persuade Dazai to leave the port mafia, but he should have succeeded in making the other party vigilant.

There is still more than a year before MIMIC comes to Yokohama, and Xingzi is not in a hurry, just take a picture when he comes back.

On Monday, she drove back to the rented house in Yokohama with Oda Sakunosuke and Ranpo.

After entering the room, Xingzi let them sit casually and pour tea by himself.

Oda Sakunosuke took a look, and Hoshiko's house was very clean.There is only one sofa and one coffee table in the living room.

For a normal person, such a room is obviously too simple.Although Hoshiko has lived in Tokyo for half a year.But her room was still empty, with no breath of life.

Oda Sakunosuke went to Hoshiko's home in Yokohama, but he didn't pay attention at the time, but thinking about it now, there seems to be no life there.

This made him a little worried, and he couldn't help but look at Edogawa Ranpo: "Mr. Ranpo..."

Luanbu shook his head, but did not speak.

Xingzi brought out the tea and yelled loudly, "Where are the thick dim sum? Xingzi must have prepared thick dim sum at home, right!"

"Don't use reasoning in this kind of place!" Xingzi sighed, turned around and went to the kitchen to get the thick snacks prepared in advance.

Ranbu Maomao is confident: "This kind of thing doesn't need reasoning at all, Master Ranbu can tell it at a glance."

After taking out the snacks, Hoshiko stood up: "Odasaku, let's go, I need to pick them up at the high school in advance. Mr. Ranpo's commission is to go in the afternoon, right? Do you want me to see you off then?"

Luanbu took a bite of the thick dim sum, and replied vaguely: "Don't go with us!"

Xingzi was a little puzzled: "Is Mr. Ranbu interested in this?"

Luanbu curled his lips: "I'm not interested in those ugly monsters. But if you go and watch your battles, you should be able to see the problem faster."

Xingzi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Luanbu wanted to solve her commission faster.

She was moved: "Mr. Luanbu..."

Luanbu shook his head triumphantly: "If you are moved, how about coming to the Armed Detective Agency when the things here are over?"

"Eh?"? 2

Both Hoshiko and Oda Sakunosuke looked surprised, but Oda Sakunosuke quickly accepted this setting, and also persuaded: "If Hoshiko comes to the Armed Detective Agency, we can work together. Will he be the first one at that time?" Did you see the novel you wrote?"

Xingzi pursed her lips, it would indeed be a good choice to go to the Armed Detective Agency.Everyone is very friendly and the salary is not low.

But Xingzi still has many concerns, the biggest one being: "But I don't have supernatural powers! Ordinary people can't join the Armed Detective Agency, right? Besides, even if I join, I won't be able to help you much."

Luanbu raised his head: "As long as you offer coarse snacks to Mr. Ranbu every day, these things will not be a problem. Mr. Ranbu is reluctant to accept an assistant."

Although he said it was reluctance, Luanbu even put down the thick snacks in his hand, and looked at Xingzi pretending to be proud: "Would anyone reject a famous detective?"

Xingzi wanted to laugh a little, but held back, and refused: "Although the invitation from the famous detective is very tempting, who can say clearly about the future? So please allow me to refuse temporarily."

As he said that, Xingzi pushed another piece of thick snack to make apology in front of Luanbu.

Hearing Xingzi's refusal, Ranbu turned his head angrily.Of course, he didn't forget to take away the thick snack that Xingzi pushed over.Although he is very angry, Dim Sum is innocent, and he cannot be blamed for Dim Sum!

Lord Ranpo is so principled.

Luanbu really hates iron for being weak, he really wants Xingzi to wake up, but he can't talk about her.

Because Luanbu could see that Xingzi was different from others, she did nothing wrong, but she was injured all over her body.

She is not timid like Dazai, in fact she is brave and has been trying to save herself.

At the same time, it's not that Xingzi doesn't believe in Luanbu, Luanbu can see clearly, she just lost the ability to accept help.

Although Luanbu doesn't know what happened to her before, but it can be seen that Xingzi has never really accepted help from others calmly and proactively.

Although on the surface she still asks others for help, in fact she does not feel that others can help her subconsciously, or that she does not feel that others will help her.

Therefore, Luanbu concluded that the original Xingzi must have experienced a situation of being alone and helpless.This caused her to only rely on her own character now.

It is precisely because of this that Luanbu has no way to talk about Xingzi.No one can point fingers at a victim.What's more, the victim was kind enough and worked hard enough.

I can't say it, I can't be angry, Master Ranpo has never been wronged like this since he came to the Armed Detective Agency!So he chose to turn around angrily, ignoring the idiot Xingzi!

Looking at the back of the little group of Luanbu, Xingzi sighed helplessly.Oda Sakunosuke had already gone to the kitchen thoughtfully, leaving them some room for communication.

What should I do if the cat is angry?There are two solutions, one is to coax the other party with enough benefits.But the thick snacks prepared by Xingzi have already been placed here, which is obviously not enough.

So she can only choose the second method - to divert attention.

"We're going out, Mr. Ranpo, are you still going?"

Luanbu puffed up his cheeks, thinking he was very angry, but in fact he gave Xingzi a harmless look: "Go!"

Xingzi suppressed a laugh.

"Are you laughing at Luanbu-sama!" The suffocated laughter was so terrible that Luanbu immediately exploded.

Xingzi hurriedly said, "No, I just think that random steps are cute. Isn't it normal that cute things make people happy from the bottom of their hearts?"

Ranpo can accept all compliments with peace of mind, how can a person who doesn't mind the president treat him like a cat, how can he mind others calling him cute?

Luanbu was smoothed out smoothly, and finally stopped making trouble.

Xingzi raced to Gaozhuan just before the time was up, and picked Qihai and Huiyuan into the car.

Because Oda Sakunosuke has been exposed, and is now a person with formal authorization, so naturally there is no need to hide.

The two of Nanami first greeted Hoshiko and Odasaku politely, and then looked at Ranpo suspiciously.I don't know the origin of this squint-eyed boy who looks like a child.

Hoshiko explained: "This is Edogawa Ranpo, my friend in Yokohama, maybe you have heard of his name?"

Edogawa Ranpo is very famous in the outside world, after all, he is a man from the script team.

Qihai was a little surprised, she didn't expect Xingzi to be friends with Mr. Edogawa.But when I think that she is also friends with such a powerful Oda Sakunosuke, I feel nothing unusual.

Jianren Nanami greeted him politely: "It turned out to be Mr. Edogawa, who has known his name for a long time. I am Jianren Nanami, and this is Yuo Haibara. We are first-year students in high school."

There was nothing wrong with the task this time, and it was completed very easily.Ranbu only saw the dark shadow of the monster, and quickly learned about the magician's ability system along the way.

Back at the high school, Gojo Satoru happened to have just returned from his mission.Originally, he wanted to chat with Xingzi as usual, but he saw the stranger next to Xingzi at a glance.

Although he looked relatively young, how could Gojo Satoru fail to see that this person was at least 20 years old?

The most important thing is that this squinted eye in a detective suit is very close to Xingzi, looking very intimate.

Gojo Wu narrowed his eyes dangerously, strode over to stop Xingzi with one hand, and leaned half on her body: "Xingzi-chan! Who is this? Why don't you introduce me?"

Gojo Satoru often approached without a sense of distance, Xingzi was used to it.It's just that this title still made her unable to hold back the chill.

"Be normal, this is Mr. Edogawa Ranpo from the Armed Detective Agency. After Hoshiko introduced him, he introduced Gojo Satoru like Ranpo: "This is Gojo Satoru, a second-year high school student. "

"Oh - it's a guest!" Gojo Satoru said exaggeratedly: "Why didn't the guest tell me in advance when Xingzi came? We can also prepare in advance."

Inside and outside the words, it seemed that Xingzi was included in his camp and separated from Ranbu.

How could Ranpo fail to see Gojo Satoru's hostility?He was unaffected by this grievance, and grabbed Xingzi's cuff: "Xingzi, this person is so stupid."

Xingzi: ...

To be honest, she also felt that Gojo Satoru's inexplicable hostility was silly.But she wisely didn't say this, otherwise she wouldn't even think about it for the next week.

"Wu, don't make trouble. Ranbu is my friend, the same as you. I also asked Ranpo to help you."

Speaking of this, Xingzi's expression became serious: "I said before that there are problems in the magic circle, and it seems that someone is watching you. Only Luanbu can see this in advance, so don't make trouble."

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru's exaggerated expression just now subsided: "Do you have any clues? Is it aimed at me, or at Gaozhuan?"

The light of wisdom flashed in Luanbu's green eyes: "I guess it is aimed at all human beings. Curse spirits can be intelligent, right? If they are responsible, then it makes sense."

Xingzi looked at Luanbu in admiration, he didn't expect him to have guessed to this extent.It's almost revealing the identity of the real person.

"Curse spirit? Ha!" Gojo Satoru's blue eyes hidden under the sunglasses were full of rebelliousness: "If they come, I will kill one, and if they come two, I will kill a pair! I am the strongest!"

"Idiot!" Luanbu shouted dissatisfied: "So what if you are strong enough? Can you protect everyone? How can someone be so stupid!"

Gojo Satoru was not angry because of Ranpo's words. Although he was crazy, he was not a fool and knew that what Ranpo said was right.

He is not afraid of any frontal battle, but if there is really a curse spirit playing tricks, then even if he is the strongest, he may not be able to solve the problem perfectly.

"Then what should I do?" For the sake of all the people he cared about, Wutiao Wu relented for the first time.

Luanbu glanced at him: "Everything is as usual, protect the person you care about until I find no further clues."

After finishing speaking, he stretched his waist and complained coquettishly to Xingzi: "Xingzi is so tired! I want to eat thick snacks, and I also want to eat the rice you cooked!"

Just as Xingzi was about to answer, Wutiao Wu, who had recovered his vitality, said loudly: "What? Xingzi, can you cook? I want to eat too!"
