Lost Lord Ranbu

After returning to Yokohama for two days, Ranpo stayed in the office without any movement.

Seeing that Ranpo didn't run out every day like before, Oda Sakunosuke thought that he stayed at the headquarters because he was busy investigating the black organization. Shoot the pitch-black pistol at the wall like a vent.

The whole office is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and there are a few black bullet holes on the wall cloth embroidered with European patterns. It seems that it is going to be redecorated.

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for two seconds and then asked: "What are you doing? Random steps. Are you practicing shooting? Here?"

"Why should I learn to shoot?" Ranpo asked back, "This kind of weapon that requires no brains can be fired just by pulling the trigger, and babies can do it-if they have the strength and curiosity to pull the trigger .”

Luanbu let go of his hand, and the heavy gun sank down in compliance with gravity, and the trigger was still hooked on his finger, which made Oda Sakunosuke worry about the problem of misfire for a second.

"One of the ways Holmes uses to relieve anxiety." Luanbu threw down the gun, shook his hand that was numb from the recoil, and added casually, "Twelve bullets, I have already emptied one magazine, see Come on, that guy is only doing this when he is idle and bored, and it has no other use except to make his wrist hurt."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Ranpo, are you anxious?"

"No, I'm just bored." Luanbu said, turned his face inward, and said to himself with his back to the assistant, "The weather is fine today, so I'll use it to sleep."

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the messy black hair on the back of the cadre's head and didn't say anything. He just looked down at the smartphone lying in the pile of snacks. The screen was still on, and the battery was approaching a dangerous red. Waiting for someone's call.

"Who are you waiting for a call from?" Oda Sakunosuke asked.

The cadre who was lying on the sofa with his back to him moved his head slightly after hearing the words, but still did not turn around, and said in a muffled voice: "...I said, Oda Tsukuru."

"Ok?"

"Master Ranpo is enough for a famous detective!" The cadre still lay there motionless, but raised his arm in protest loudly.

"Oh, only you." Oda Sakunosuke replied to the cadre in that flat tone that could be called perfunctory, he knew he was right, Ranpo was indeed waiting for someone to contact, "So who are you waiting for?" phone number?"

"..." After a few seconds of silence, Ranpo turned over and sat up, glaring at the other party angrily, "Since you want to play a deduction game, then Odasaku can guess it yourself! As an assistant, follow Ranpo-sama After being around for so long, you should have grown a little bit, right?"

"Uh……"

Oda Sakunosuke pondered for a moment.

How do you guess?

He should not be a member of the port mafia. After all, in the territory of the port mafia, Luanbu always has a domineering attitude towards everyone. Even the leader does not hide his arrogance and willfulness. If there is anything urgent, I have already called on my own initiative.

The one who can make Luanbu so hesitant obviously occupies a certain place in his heart... so who is it?man?woman?Shouldn't the leader be notified first?

The conscientious assistant couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Reasoning is not what Oda Sakunosuke is good at. After all, his observation ability is not as good as Dazai, let alone Ranpo. It is not easy to judge that Ranpo is waiting for others to contact with a mobile phone interface. Is it really necessary for him to write in the future? Speculative fiction?

However, Oda Sakunosuke knew that Ranpo was just being angry when he was punctured, and it wasn't really embarrassing him. He had to reason out more things.At this time, he just needs to keep silent, and he doesn't need to be smart in front of Luanbu.

And Ranpo didn't expect him to give an answer. Rather, he didn't think that Oda Sakunosuke could name that person.Because during this period of time, Oda Sakunosuke did not follow him all the time, and lacked the corresponding evidence needed for reasoning.

It must be stated that it is not what Oda Sakunosuke thinks, Ranpo is not "hesitating", but just "waiting".

As for what was waiting, of course it had to do with the detective agency.

His Excellency Fukuzawa's response was too slow!

Luanbu couldn't help complaining in his heart.

It should be an honor to have the opportunity to be a partner with Ranpo-sama. Is it such an unacceptable thing for Fukuzawa-sama?Obviously she will definitely accept the offer in the end, but she hesitates like an adolescent girl, making herself wait so long.If it were Mr. Mori, he would have agreed to such a good thing delivered to his door a long time ago!

Even though he complained in his heart, Ranbu was very clear.

The Edogawa Ranpo of the world was able to successfully partner with Fukuzawa Yukichi because they went through several cases together.In this world, he and Fukuzawa Yukichi have nothing to do with each other.

Therefore, Fukuzawa Yukichi will not immediately agree to cooperate with him.

However, whether Fukuzawa Yukichi agrees or not is only a matter of time. After all, the cold-faced and warm-hearted Fukuzawa-sama will not leave a "missing boy" alone—although Ranpo doesn't think that choosing the port mafia is going astray performance, but it does not prevent him from using this to win the sympathy of others, which is what Mr. Sen taught him.

Luanbu suppressed his temper, muttered in his heart for a while, and started a new round of waiting.

Mr. Mori's contact came faster than Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Mr. Sen, what can I do for you?" Luanbu sat up, and asked lazily after answering the phone, "If it's work, forget it. I'm not interested today. Let the client make an appointment early."

The leader on the other end of the phone laughed softly: "Don't worry, it's not about work, Alice hopes you can share afternoon tea with her."

"Oh! Is there any cake? I'll come up right away." Ranpo cheered up.

Although there are five cadres of the Port Mafia, it is clear that Edogawa Ranpo is the most special among them.His office was the closest to where the leader was, and he was protected at the same level as the leader, making him a well-deserved second in command.

Of course, for Ranpo himself, this kind of convenient usurpation, assassination and other unique conditions are just convenient for him to visit the leader.

"I'm going to Mr. Mori's place." Walking to the door, he suddenly turned around and complained to Oda Sakunosuke, "By the way, the gun belongs to Xingsuke. He seems to be particularly interested in this?"

It should be said that boys of this age like guns.

Oda Sakunosuke has warned Xingsuke more than once that bullets are weapons that can take the lives of others, not some cool props. Before using weapons, you must have the consciousness of bearing human life.

Fortunately, Jie couldn't understand the guardian's good intentions. He took it for granted that since he joined the port mafia, there was nothing wrong with carrying firearms with him--and there was nothing wrong with it when he thought about it carefully. For his own safety, having a weapon It's better in the hands than bare hands.

Adolescent boys hate dogs, Oda Sakunosuke feels that this boy needs to be taught a lesson, but he can't set an example to be a role model for the children, and even for his own sake, Xingsuke wants to join the mafia.If you preach by yourself, Kosuke will not listen, and will refute with words such as "Aren't you a mafia too?", "Don't you also use guns?"

This time, Xingsuke actually brought the gun into Ranpo's office.

You know, just like the weapons will be taken away when you go to see the leader, other people have to hand over their weapons if they want to see Ranbu.However, Kosuke violated the rules, even if he didn't intend to shoot Ranbu.

Oda Sakunosuke: "I will teach him a lesson."

"That's not what I want to talk about." Luanbu waved his hands, "I met Xingsuke upstairs today and noticed that there was some white powder on his belt, so I asked him for a gun."

White powder?

Oda Sakunosuke's expression darkened slightly.

He was a little caught off guard by the news mentioned by Ranpo. Before, he was most worried that the child would learn to be bad after joining the mafia, but now Xingsuke has this tendency.

"It's not Xingsuke's problem, it's the people around him who have problems, such as the little girlfriend he's been dating recently?" Ranbu always cut to the point mercilessly, "It seems that someone has been negligent recently, responsible for the logistics Have you all started to find a business by yourself?...Well, I won’t tell Mr. Mori about this, Odasaku will go and investigate, and you can mobilize people as you like, please.”

"Random steps."

Before walking out in disorder, Oda Sakunosuke called to stop him.

"what?"

"You're going to start a detective agency in Yokohama, aren't you?"

Mentioning this, Ranbu squinted his eyes and laughed: "Yeah, just like the detective agency we established before. Of course, this time it will definitely be successful!"

"So……"

Before Oda Sakunosuke made the request, Ranpo guessed his thoughts: "You want to transfer Xingsuke to the detective agency? Ah, I don't care about this, because the president is not me. If Oda Sakuno can If the president agrees, then I have no objection, I don't think Mr. Mori will care where the small employees of the logistics team go to."

Oda Sakunosuke was taken aback, he didn't know who the president was because he had no memory of being in the main world, but the leader, Mori Ogai, didn't look like he would take over the detective agency.

"Although I said that, the president of the detective agency hasn't taken up the post yet. Let's talk about it after he takes up the post." Ranbu muttered, "According to the time, it should be almost the same..."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't hear clearly.

"That's good." Ranbu clapped his hands suddenly, and said loudly, "Leave the phone with you, remember to fully charge it. If someone calls me later, Odasaku will tell him, 'Edogawa Ran Ayu' is busy with work, recently an organization code-named wine began to come to Yokohama to inquire, 'Edogawa Ranpo' is very dangerous—”

He scratched his hair in distress again, and changed his words: "Forget it, don't say what you said before, just tell him 'Edogawa is dangerous'. The location is the Ferris wheel in Mirai Minato."

Oda Sakunosuke: "...Oh."

He was a little confused.

Isn't Ranpo going to the leader?
