Lost Lord Ranbu

Although ace hates Edogawa Ranpo, he is also very aware of Edogawa Ranpo's ability.

The cadres of the port mafia are not easy to mess with, and the most difficult to fool are Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu.But if you really think about it, Ace is more afraid of the scheming Dazai Osamu than the childish Edogawa Ranpo who puts his emotions on the surface.

However, Dazai Osamu is currently on a mission and is not in the headquarters. If there is only one Edogawa Ranpo left, ace is still confident that he can handle it.

Edogawa Ranpo is indeed clever, but so what?

He has no superpowers.

Ace is very clear that Edogawa Ranpo's miraculous inferences are based on the facts of existence, not some supernatural ability that does not follow common sense.As long as he is cautious enough and doesn't leave any evidence, even Edogawa Ranpo can't do anything about him.

Ace has his own considerations about the organization in black.

He originally planned to cooperate with the black organization, intending to kick Mori Ogai from the position of the leader of the port mafia and replace him.I don't know if Mori Ogai sensed something was wrong, and specially sent his confidant Edogawa Ranpo to get in the way. It's not easy for ace to refuse in person, but he never thought of bringing Edogawa Ranpo to the negotiation scene.

Ace decided to selectively tell Edogawa Ranpo some of the facts, using the existing facts to divert Edogawa Ranpo's attention, even misleading his judgment, and freeing up a period of negotiation time for himself.

Misleading Edogawa Ranpo is almost impossible in the eyes of others, but ace doesn't think it is difficult.

There was a precedent for this incident before. Osamu Dazai was worried that Majin Fyodor would cause harm to Edogawa Ranpo, so he sent people away for refuge long before the operation started.What the mouse boss in the snow can do, there is no reason why he can't do it.Controlling the boundary between true and false is a common skill on the gaming table, and he is invincible in the casino.

ace thought confidently.

The location of the meeting with the black organization was chosen at Yokohama Mirai Minato. The location was proposed by the other party, saying that it was convenient to hide their identity.

Ace brought Edogawa Ranpo over.

Before arriving at the meeting place, he avoided important information, picked and picked his plan and talked to Edogawa Ranpo in a dry and boring manner.As expected, Edogawa Ranpo showed a lack of interest expression, and his attention to work was not as good as that of a street vendor pushing a cart selling crepes.

Ace took the opportunity to ask the other party for advice, and Edogawa Ranpo, who didn't get any useful information from him and was attracted by gadgets, naturally couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Therefore, ace logically proposed to ask Edogawa Ranpo to wait aside, and he would finish the rest.

Of course, in the end, ace didn't forget to select one person from his private army—a red-haired boy who he couldn't remember the name at all, probably bought from a human trafficker—and assigned him to "protect" the man who was killed by Mori Ogai. A full-fledged cadre holding in the palm of his hand.

Edogawa Ranpo readily agreed and asked him for some cash.

Just a little money.

Ace, who relies on money, generously took out his wallet.

"Have fun." He smiled smugly.

"Thank you!" Luanbu took the wallet from him, and also showed a happy smile, "I will have a lot of fun."

Ace watched Ranpo Edogawa take his money to buy crepes, and unsuspectingly ordered the subordinates he assigned in the past to ask the unknown person to line up at the ice cream truck, the scene seemed to be ignorant of the world The young master and his followers travel together.

Ace said bluntly in front of a group of subordinates: "Edogawa Ranpo's mind is indeed a precious treasure, but he has nothing but wealth and does not know how to use it, and he does not know how to understand the world. If Mori Ogai does not teach him these things, he is afraid He will bite back and want to turn him into a waste."

He smiled contemptuously: "Ha, Mori Ogai has already succeeded, so it's easy for me to tease Edogawa Ranpo."

This may sound too arrogant, but with the ability to control the lives of his subordinates, Ace is not afraid that someone in his private army will inform him, and he will often speak freely under his subordinates.And his subordinates bowed their heads in trepidation every time, and those who were more obsequious would repeatedly praise his brilliance and martial arts, hoping to gain some benefits from his subordinates-this time was also the same.

It was almost the agreed time, and he was not interested in continuing to observe Edogawa Ranpo's movements, so ace led people away from the place.

Ranpo intentionally or unintentionally glanced in the direction he was leaving, and then stared at the boss's crepe-making technique with interest, exclaiming "Oh!" from time to time.

His support made the boss very happy, and he specially added some extra ingredients for this guest, and even chatted with him a few more words.

"Brother, are you coming out to play?"

"It's work."

"Oh, that looks pretty easy."

"That's right!" Luanbu didn't talk too much, and pointed to the Ferris wheel in the distance, "By the way, uncle, how do we get there?"

"Are you really from Yokohama? Or are you here on a business trip?" The boss laughed, thinking it was strange that the locals had never ridden the Ferris wheel. After all, it is also a landmark building in Yokohama.

"Tell me quickly, I want to go up and have a look." Ranpo didn't mind the kind teasing, and he was indeed not a native of Yokohama.For this kind of thing, Luanbu has no shame at all, what's wrong with not knowing how to ride a Ferris wheel?He can't even ride a tram.

The boss didn't make things difficult for him, but just regarded him as a rich young man who slipped out to play, and kindly pointed out a direction: "Go buy the ticket first, the ticket office is over there, can you do it alone?"

"Someone will help me." Luanbu waved his hand, "By the way, uncle, why don't you go home early after finishing business today? It's going to be a mess here."

"Eh?"

When Ranbu squeezed out of the crowd contentedly holding a crepe that was one size larger than the others, the red-haired boy who bought the ice cream also happened to hurry back.He held the ice cream carefully, looked very nervous, and waited for the next order without saying a word.

"What's your name?" Ranbu asked casually.

The red-haired boy was a little flattered.

He was sold to ace several times by human traffickers, and then he was put in shackles. When ace orders his subordinates, he never remembers their names. He only regards them as gems used to preserve value and can be transformed at any time. There is no human rights at all.

The cadre in front of him is a ruthless character who overwhelms ace everywhere in the organization. He actually asks the name of a small person, and since no one has asked him this question for a long time, he can't react for a while.

"What are you in a daze for, idiot." Luanbu glanced at him, the red-haired boy had a shallow cross scar on his face, and he was wearing a ruby ​​collar unique to the ace private army, which was very recognizable on the outside, " Don't you even remember your own name?"

The young man hurriedly dug out the name that he was not familiar with from the back of his mind: "Kinshu, my name is Jianshu."

"Oh? Cake, what a name."

"No, it's not cake, it's Jianshu..."

Obviously not all of the young man's weak defense was heard.

Luanbu pointed to the Ferris wheel in the distance and said to him: "Mr. Cake, help me buy a ticket, I want to ride on that."

Forget it, the cake is the cake, anyway, the pronunciation sounds a bit similar.

Jian Shu, who dared not refute the cadres, began to give up on himself.

Jianshu was sent here by ace, saying that he was "protecting" the cadres, but in fact he has no skills. If he is really skilled in martial arts, he would not be sent by ace to be ordered by other cadres. Use the word "surveillance" More or less.

But the cadre he had to deal with was Ranpo Edogawa, anyone with a little bit of self-knowledge in the port mafia should know that he couldn't lie in front of Ranpo Edogawa, otherwise he would be exposed.

If he was exposed, he would die no matter what.Whether it's Edogawa's cadres or ace's, I can only blame my bad luck for this situation.

Thinking so, Jianshu walked towards the ticket office with the cash that Ranbu handed him.

When he came back after buying the ticket, the cadre was nowhere to be seen.

Jianshu was startled, looked around, and finally saw the figure of the black-haired cadre beside the public seat not far away.It is unbelievable that the cadre is surrounded by a group of elementary school students, chatting endlessly. It seems that they have won the hearts of the children and received the treatment of the king of children.

Kenshu sighed helplessly, and walked up to say hello: "Master Edogawa, please don't run around."

"Does it matter? It's someone I know." Ranbu replied.

Jianshu didn't know why the mafia cadres knew ordinary elementary school students, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only show a stiff smile at the elementary school students.

"Master Edogawa? Does anyone still use this honorific name?" The other elementary school students whispered to each other, "It seems that Conan's brother is a big man, is he the big boss of which company?"

"It should be, just now he said he would show us around the factory."

"Great!"

Hearing this, Kenshu's expression became even more rigid.

An elementary school student wearing a blue suit and glasses eased his embarrassment, tugged at the hem of Luanbu's clothes, and asked innocently, "Brother Luanbu, who is this person?"

"Small employees of the company." Ranbu replied lazily.

Conan: "Oh!"

That's the Mafia.

Yokohama is a place where good and evil are mixed, and an ordinary teenager may be a member of the mafia.Along the way, Conan saw a lot of people dressed in black and armed with guns. What was difficult was that he couldn't tell which ones were the Mafia and which ones were members of the Black Organization.

I don't know whether it is good or bad to meet Edogawa Ranpo, but seeing that he doesn't seem to be hostile, Conan can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Ranpo, can you really take us to visit the factory?" Ayumi, the only girl in the elementary school team, asked timidly.

The elementary school students were discussing this matter before, and the school arranged some extracurricular activities, but the Yokohama Port Factory, which was originally agreed to visit, was closed for some reason.When they didn't know what to do, they happened to meet Conan's "brother" - Mr. Edogawa Ranpo.

Ranbu was very tolerant of the little girl: "Of course, it's just that I have to wait until my work is over, put aside my extracurricular homework, and have a good time now! Ah, yes, I will treat you to dinner later." ?”

Anyway, it's ace's money.

Luanbu thought.
