If I don't quit, I will be forced to usurp the throne.

Zhongyuan Zhongye was stunned at first when he heard such a description, and then raised the corners of his mouth, showing an unbelievable expression: "Huh——?!"

[Let me remind you that Miss Yosano is already married, and her husband is called Chiaki Rojo. 】The voice of Edogawa Ranpo came from the monitor at the right time.

Chuya Nakahara reacted: "..."

Although he had heard about it before, his girlfriend was "married" outside. Although she used a false identity, she was indeed married to a woman in the name of protecting her...

Nakahara Nakaya stared at the black-haired woman standing there looking at the knife, and opened his mouth to refute, but lost his voice for a while because he was not prepared at first.He was first made a little guilty by the other party's righteous attitude of fighting, but after reacting, he immediately became angry, and his expression changed from the calm and calm at the beginning to the fury visible to the naked eye now.

"It's like this—is that person you—just right—!" the young man with red hair had a low tone, with a bit of gnashing of teeth.

"Hmph! Do all the mistresses have such an arrogant face these days!"

"Wh... Hey--don't be kidding! In terms of time, you are the one behind!?" Zhong Yuanzhong also felt a little aggrieved, and at the same time he was very angry, "Who is the third party?!"

Yoshino Akiko snorted coldly, and precisely stepped on the opponent's anger point to attack: "I am a legal identity, are you?"

"..." Zhong Yuanzhong also choked, and suddenly realized a blind spot, "Wait - the one who married you is Liujo Qianqiu, right?"

"Wow——" Kenji Miyazawa, who was only 13 years old, clapped his hands with the seals, his tone was pure exclamation, "Is this the relationship between people in the city? It's so complicated."

Although he is only 13 years old, his ability [Fearless Wind and Rain] can display strange power and high defense power when he is hungry.Originally, he lived by driving cattle in the remote countryside, but Fukuzawa Yukichi discovered his potential and invited him to join the detective agency.Of course, he had only joined for less than a month before he encountered such a major event.With a simple temperament, he attributes all the things he doesn't understand to the differences between the people in the country and the city.

Ah, it may also be that I am too young to understand some things.

"... Tsk." Yosano Akiko, who was caught at the BUG point, clicked unwillingly, decided to go straight to A, and showed her own knife, "Stop talking nonsense! I'll just chop off the hands and feet of you, a vixen, into pieces." You can probably see your identity clearly!"

"Ah——this proposal is good, and it is more suitable for me to directly do it——"

"Kenji! Come help!"

"Yes--"

When the two started fighting, they really didn't stop.

"Hmph!" Yosano Akiko, who knew what psychological warfare was, became serious after almost estimating the opponent's force value, and suddenly smiled, "Hey, Kenji, on your side, How do you deal with vixens who destroy other people's families?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also jumped up to avoid the large steel bar thrown by Kenji Miyazawa, stepped on it, and used his supernatural power to double it back, and then landed firmly on the ground, centering on his own foothold. caved in.

Then his feet slipped by the words.

Before he could respond, Kenji Miyazawa blinked, and replied in an innocent and cheerful tone: "In our hometown, everyone would go and beat up the cheating person first. Although I don't understand, everyone It is said that a man who cheats will be kicked by a bull."

Edogawa Ranpo: 【He makes sense.Ah, do you want me to call and ask Chisaki-san which side she is on? 】

With Yosano Akiko: "..."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

When everyone fell into an embarrassing silence, Edogawa Ranpo spoke again: [Leaving aside this Shura field, the special envoy from Hong Kong and Black did not come here to fight, but to send a message, right? 】

Even if he was provocative at the beginning, at this time, Zhongyuanzhong just wanted to finish the task and leave this ghost place, and he was not in the mood to say anything unnecessary. He took out a photo, pointed it in the direction of the monitor, and said dryly. Baba still had a bit of stiffness: "Our leader gave you a gift from the detective agency."

Inside Wanxiangtang, Edogawa Ranpo saw the two people in the photo, and was stunned for a moment.

【……I see. 】His expression gradually became dignified, and his expression looked a little scary at this moment, 【What bait did you use? 】

……

"Ah-choo—" I sneezed and sniffed, with a confused expression on my face, "Who was scolding me just now?"

I seriously thought about the possible candidates, and later found that there should be too many candidates, and I couldn't figure them out.

"Be careful not to catch a cold." Sister Hongye sat there and rubbed my head with her hand, "What are you going to do next?"

"Sister Hongye, you have almost told me the plan after Hong Kong and Heilongjiang. Are you sure you want me to tell my plan?" I sat there with my hands on the back of the chair, my chin on my arm, and laughed, " After you hear my plan, sister Hongye, you won’t be able to leave.”

"What are you talking about, kid?" Koye Ozaki also smiled, and said leisurely, his eyes became sharp at this moment, "Chisaki, you didn't intend to let me go from the beginning, did you? Although you didn't say it directly, This is also one of the conditions for you to agree to contribute to Jinghua, isn't it?"

"Hey—it's not—" I dragged my tone and said in a coquettish tone, "That's because people know that Sister Hongye won't leave!"

"...You've grown a lot, Chisaki."

"Where is it, I was also very good in the past." I blinked, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get the position of guerrilla captain, and I wouldn't be able to live today."

Ozaki Koyo did not follow this topic and said: "You already know the plan, why don't you inform the detective agency?"

"It's useless if I say it... Well, I'm afraid Mr. Mori also expected the consequences in case his plan is exposed." I raised my hand and pinched a strand of my hair, curling it with my fingers, and fell into a trap. In deep thought.

Mori Ogai's plan is an overt conspiracy.

He first gave the members of the group a bait that could restrain the detective agency, and then revealed the movements of the group members who were going to catch the bait to the detective agency.The detective agency, which originally planned to go dormant, had to come forward and confront the combination.

I guess now...

The person sent to deliver the letter to the detective agency, if I'm not mistaken...

"Sister Hongye, it's really inappropriate for you to go back to Hong Kong and Hei. Why don't you rest here for a while as a vacation. What do you want to eat? I'll get you snacks and magazines!"

After I walked out of the interrogation room and closed the door, my expression changed.

The person who sent the letter must be Mr. Chuya. I didn't expect that the confrontation would happen so soon...

With a heavy heart, I picked up the phone: "Hello? Is this Mr. Ranpo?"

[Qian Saki-san, your wife and your boyfriend are fighting, which side do you stand on? 】

"...What?" I was stunned for a moment, and then let out an ah, realizing what the other party was referring to.Then... I started to sweat on my forehead, "Hey? Mr. Ranpo, what are you talking about? The signal here is not very good——"

[Looks like this, then I'll say you stand by my side! 】

"...Please don't meddle in it!" I stopped it immediately, and after a moment of silence, I asked cautiously, "What's the reaction of the two of them?"

[Looks very angry. 】

"..." Hey - no - it shouldn't be!Don't they all know each other's existence!It's okay for Mr. Nakaya to be angry. Akiko, why are you joining in the fun?Obviously before, you still asked me to cheat on you with a look of disgust!

I made up my mind and decided not to interfere with either side: "Now it's more important to get down to business! I just learned about the Hong Kong gangster's plan. Is there any problem with you? What kind of bait did the other party use?"

[…… is our agency’s clerk. 】

"...It's this trick again." There was a trace of murderous intent in my voice.

The clerks of the detective agency are ordinary people without any combat effectiveness, so it is very easy to use them as bait.

...Just like Kosuke and the others back then.

Ahh——I feel so angry when I think about it——!

If it weren't for my backing against Shiraichi and being suspended from work, Mori Ogai would have counted me in as well!

"You don't have to worry about this matter! Give me the address of the clerk! I'll help!" I said confidently.

【Chisaki-san, you are really motivated... But I'm afraid you have other things to be busy with right now. 】

"...Huh?" I reacted after being stunned for a moment—wait!Is this... already counting me in?

After being silent for a long time, I asked in a calm voice: "It means... there will be things on my side that will keep me from going away, right?"

【Well, maybe it will appear soon.On the way or at the end of your journey, there must be something that can hold you back.Your status as a policeman is still very easy to use, especially during the suspension period, you can't make too much movement, right? 】

"...Understood." I began to wonder what the other party would use to contain me... Mr. Chuya would not, first of all, Mr. Chuya had just appeared at the Wanxiangtang, and it would not work in terms of time and distance.And Mori Ogai will also understand that if Mr. Nakaya is used to restrain me, I will be restrained by Mr. Nakaya...and other people I care about can be used to restrain me, and those who restrain me are not in Yokohama...

So, that is to say... Do I consider candidates from the perspective of my troublesome enemies?

When I was thinking hard, Mr. Ranpo chewed something and spoke.

【Ah, by the way, like Dr. Xie Ye, I think your boyfriend is too arrogant, so I mentioned to him about the mark you left on my neck before. 】

"...Ah?" I was stunned for a long time, but I still didn't realize it. I frowned and asked uncertainly, "Wait? What did you just say?"
