Lost Lord Ranbu

Regarding the philosophy of the leader of the Dongtang group, Luanbu is understandable.

Because most gangster organizations have similar management methods, the port mafia also has similar management regulations.

Drug trafficking is absolutely prohibited, because those things have no effect other than numbing the nerves, and the leader will not want to see his subordinates as a group of addicts, who can sell the organization's information for hallucinogens.

Subordinates are not allowed to gamble, because if they are not careful, they will go bankrupt, and those who are pushed to the extreme will only become irrational desperadoes, but it is allowed to operate a regular casino business.

Don’t fight with ordinary people—ah, this needs to clarify the scope of “ordinary people”. The port mafia will not attack ordinary citizens because of trivial matters, unless someone first offends the port mafia without a long-term eye, and then No matter what kind of revenge you will suffer, you have to admit that you are unlucky, even if you call yourself an "ordinary person", you can't escape.

There is nothing wrong with the group leader of the East Hall of the Bazhai Society for setting these rules. This is the orthodox way of survival of the underworld, and it cannot be regarded as stupid integrity.

But here lies the problem——

"In this abnormal society, it is simply not feasible to use normal thinking to run a gangster organization." Luanbu said sharply.

"Then how should we adapt to the present?"

"Adapt to the present? You actually want to adapt to the present?" Ranbu seemed to have heard something funny and laughed out loud.

The team leader said nothing.

Ranbu quickly stopped laughing, squinted his eyes and replied: "Since you want to adapt to the present, then become an idol!"

"...Huh?" The group leader's expression became a little astonished.

"Choose a few good-looking subordinates and contact the film and television company to make a debut. Start with helping each other when encountering injustice, and gangster idols defeating enemies. It is used to promote the extreme culture you advocate. The chivalrous and tough guy style should be very popular! As long as one of them can become famous in the entertainment industry, the underworld will survive."

Faced with such unreliable rhetoric and making fun of their ideas, the team leader of Dongtang finally showed dissatisfaction: "Are you joking?"

Ranbu looked at him curiously: "No, I'm serious. Since you want to adapt to the present, this is the best solution."

Ranpo is actually not good at giving advice to others, what he is good at is debunking the essence as quickly as possible.In many cases, as long as you know what the truth is, you can understand how to do it, just like the process of reversing the process of finding another solution after reading the standard answer to a math problem.

Since the Ba Zhai Society wants to find a suitable way of survival, according to what their team leader said, to adapt to this abnormal society, they must use a method that is in line with the current fashion.

What is popular now?

heroism.

Nowadays, most of the top heroes in the hero list are tough guy characters. Whether it is the No.1 All Might or the No.2 Andeva, they can defeat the enemy with their own efforts and obtain them with excellent force. The crowd cheered.

After all, the essence of a professional hero is a government official organization that uses violence to control violence, which is equivalent to armed military police.However, they were not well integrated, each opened an office, had its own jurisdiction, and was regulated by the government at the same time.

The underworld is also a violent gang. The Yazhai Society even has a rule not to harm ordinary people. When ordinary people are attacked by the enemy, they will come forward to maintain order for business. How is it different from professional heroes?

In the eyes of ordinary people, the underworld is still the kind of terrible gangster organization with big flower tattoos on their arms, dirty exports, door-to-door collection of protection fees, and killing people without giving money, etc. Seeing such a group of strong men coming towards them with weapons , it is impossible not to be afraid.

But would they be afraid of professional heroes walking over with weapons on their shoulders?

The underworld collects protection fees from the shops, and then maintains the order in this area; the heroes receive wages from the government, and then maintains the order in this area.And the government's money is the tax money of the people. In the final analysis, it is the people who pay for their own safety. The question is whether they pay for it voluntarily.

Ignoring some conceptual differences, the gap between the underworld and professional heroes is only one point——

The underworld is not recognized by society.

The quickest and most deceptive way to improve social recognition is to achieve results through public opinion.The public is dull and easy to follow the trend. Idols have the greatest influence on ordinary people, and they can also help the polar culture to be promoted-this is the conclusion that Ranpo drew from the incident of the girl group "Backstreet Girls" that debuted in the Inukane Group. I thought this method was effective from the bottom of my heart, so I sincerely suggested it to the team leader of Dongtang.

However, the other party seemed unwilling to accept this suggestion, and looked very angry.

Luanbu scratched his hair: "Oh, you guys are really annoying."

If it was Mr. Mori, he would have adopted his opinion a long time ago and found a group of people under him to debut!

Regardless of other factors, just talking about becoming an idol, there are a lot of talents in the port mafia.Whether it is a cadre-level figure or a few of the guerrillas, their looks and abilities are all first-class. Coupled with the cultivation of the port mafia's own forces, it will definitely become a first-class contemporary idol, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the situation. Effect.

Although the port mafia is not so downcast that they want to use this method to gain status for themselves, this point is still very clear.

But the Bazhai Society does not have the scale of the port mafia, and the Bazhai Society does not even have the advantages in personality and armed forces. It is simply unrealistic to imagine that they would challenge the government in the past and would not be willing to show their faces to engage in the entertainment service industry!

"Mr. Edogawa, don't joke anymore!" The leader of the Dongtang group said sternly, "If this continues, there will be nothing to talk about between us!"

"Why are you angry at me?" Ranpo retorted unhappily, "Don't you want to adapt to the current solution? Since you don't want to change yourself, then go change society!"

Team leader: "..."

The detective's words had completely deviated from the team leader's cognition. He couldn't understand why a guy who seemed to be foolish and spoke very frivolously would propose the idea of ​​"changing society".

What a fatal attraction to change society.

But if you want to change the hero-dominated society, you must kill All Might. This is equivalent to overthrowing the hero society and establishing a new system. It is only the idea of ​​​​the enemy!

As soon as his face showed hesitation, Luanbu immediately accused: "After all, it's not that I don't have that ability!"

The leader could not refute.

The black-haired young man was still saying in a relaxed tone the words that the team leader heard and thought carefully: "Either find a way to erase all the personalities in the world, or find a way to change the social system. You don't have your own in the political world." Supported MPs are not as armed as professional heroes. Compared with these things you can’t do, is it very difficult for gangsters to become idols and rely on public opinion in exchange for their status?”

"This……"

To be honest, after Luanpo said this, the team leader began to feel a little moved by this proposal.But he still thinks that the underworld becoming an idol is too absurd, and if they are not careful, they will become the laughing stock of the whole society.

When he hesitated, Ranbu sighed.

Accustomed to the swift and resolute actions of the port mafia, Ranbu felt that Bazhai would be timid.But there is no way, this is not the organization he belongs to, it is Party A, and he is doing business now.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Ranpo said, "It's really boring, but in the end, I can only use the most stupid method."

... the dumbest way?

The team leader found that he couldn't keep up with Ranbu's train of thought. He had just started thinking about the possibility of becoming an idol. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

Luanbu stretched out a finger and pointed it in front of the team leader.

"--money."

"Ah?" The team leader was a little confused.

"Money can solve a lot of things."

Luanbu didn't care what he thought, and explained to himself: "Do you know how to run a company? The industries that have been cleansed on the surface are developed first. Ordinary industrial companies, daily necessities used by the people, and the underworld tradition Industrial chain, Kabukicho, loan sharks, casinos, smuggling...as long as you know how to do business and have enough money that others can't shake your position. If you want money to come quickly, I still recommend buying financial or it authoritative media, through Public opinion intelligence manipulates the stock market, and then draws the bottom - I am not very good at the process of laundering money, but there should always be someone who knows this in the Yazhai Club, right?"

The team leader was a little reluctant: "The economy is not doing well now..."

"While someone is broke, someone else is getting rich, isn't it?"

"We are an underworld organization..."

"The Japanese Constitution stipulates that associations can be legally formed. The Yasai Society itself is legal. It is recognized as a designated enemy group because of the violent nature of the underworld, but professional heroes are also violent, but they have been legalized." Ranpo strangely Looking at him, "Professional heroes have their own industries, and they also accept commercial endorsements, why can't you?"

Seeing that the team leader didn't refute, Luanbu continued to talk: "According to me, you should promote the Jidao brand openly and openly, and run more daily necessities stores that the citizens will choose, so that ordinary people will treat you. Changed."

He thought of the uniform black suits of the port mafia, and suggested: "By the way, let the subordinates change their uniforms again? It looks like a formal organization. Your second head is wearing a bird's beak mask when going out, no matter how you look at it Normal people will definitely be regarded as enemies, right?"

The team leader always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't refute it.

Maybe what the other party said is correct. If it really develops in this form and promotes the yakuza as a formal corporate culture, maybe the underworld will be regarded as a non-mainstream "hero" in the future.

The knight-errant style advocated by the Bazhai Club will attract most young people. They may want to be unique, think it is cool, and are willing to pursue the underworld.If you think about it carefully, some tough guys with a strong appearance and a gentle heart, together with the "manly romance" in which dreams, friendship, gratitude, fetters, etc. are all unspoken, constitute the most popular part of Jidao.

Today's professional heroes, or those glamorous TV idols, aren't they also developed in this way?

The group leader fell into deep thought.

"Okay, that's the end of my words." Luanbu patted his clothes and stood up, "It's obviously just a simple consultation, but I have to explain it in such detail..."

"Mr. Edogawa! Go slowly." Seeing that Luanbu got up, the team leader himself stood up immediately, and walked around the low table for two quick steps.

At this time, the group leader had completely changed his attitude towards Luanbu, and he had only heard of the name of detective before, and after the conversation, he dared not underestimate the other party, and his words became more genuinely respectful.

"Today, please trouble Mr. Edogawa to come to the door in person, and I will send the consultation fee to the house in person."

"Oh, it's troublesome." Luanbu waved his hands nonchalantly, "Just send it to the Portmaffia Detective Agency. Do you know the address of the Detective Agency?"

"Yes……"

The two talked and walked to the door.

Before going out, the team leader subconsciously asked: "Portmaffia Detective Agency...Why did you choose this name?"

"Literally, of course."

"Ok?"

"I'm the mafia."

Portmaffia Detective Agency is actually a mafia organization.

Ranpo never denied this.
