Lost Lord Ranbu

The Black Organization, a transnational criminal organization whose members are all dressed in black and whose code name is the name of wine, is also the chief culprit who turned himself into the primary school student he is now.

The self-proclaimed "Ranbu" young man completely conforms to the usual appearance of the black organization in terms of clothing, a dark costume that blends into the dark night, cold and serious.From the perspective of behavior, the way he faced the danger just now not only did not evade, but also uncharacteristically greeted him was more like the traits of a person in the dark. Regardless of his own safety, he showed a tendency to self-destruct.

Having said that, Conan also knows that this cannot be regarded as evidence that Ranpo is a member of the black organization. It is too general to say that someone is a member of a criminal organization based on the other party's attire.

As for Ranbu's fearless attitude towards criminals, it is better explained. Detectives who are addicted to adventure will more or less involuntarily pursue excitement. Under the temptation of solving puzzles, life has become secondary.Even Conan himself is like this, otherwise he would not have followed up alone when he ran into the black-clothed organization trading at the playground.

not to mention……

Conan looked at the young man who was lying at the entrance of the convenience store and said that he wanted to eat oden and hamburgers, and he couldn't help thinking deeply: If the people in the black organization were as childish as this guy, they would probably have been destroyed long ago. It's completely different.

——Maybe I was thinking too much.

The schoolboy shook his head.

"Can hamburgers be enough?" Mao Lilan still hasn't forgotten that Ranbu was picky about food during the day, and subconsciously thought that the other party was always expensive in terms of food and clothing, but he didn't expect that he only asked for cheap fast food now.

Ranpo nodded indifferently: "Well, the simple and clear food like hamburger is very good."

He picked out a few more cheap snacks, and Mao Lilan bought them for him without any complaints. Seeing the young man eating a food obediently with one hand, she couldn't help but sighed, and sighed to Conan: "Mr. It’s like a child who needs to be taken care of by others.”

Conan's mouth twitched.

One thing to say, indeed.

Either this guy's acting skills are top-notch, or he's just that naive.In short, it doesn't look like a reliable adult at all, and I really don't know what kind of environment can develop this kind of character.

It was past midnight, and the weather had turned cold. The young man sat cross-legged on the side of the road without any image, listlessly eating the evening meal Mao Lilan bought for him, yawning from time to time, with obvious sleepiness on his face.

Mao Lilan was ready to take Conan back, but seeing that the young man had no intention of leaving, she asked with concern: "Mr. Ranpo, are you still going home so late?"

"Lord Ranpo has nowhere to go."

"Where's Mr. Ranpo's family?"

The young man stopped chewing the hamburger, his expression became cold: "I have no family, my parents are both dead."

"Feel sorry……"

Before she could finish apologizing, Luanbu interrupted nonchalantly. He didn't seem to want to bring up the subject of his parents anymore, and directly talked about work: "There is work, but it's almost the same as being unemployed now." That's why I want to try being a detective!"

"Then what is Mr. Ranpo's plan for next?"

"Next step?"

Ranpo glanced at Conan, the elementary school student detective was looking back at him speechlessly, and the two of them made eye contact for a second.

Without hesitating for too long, Ranbu replied with a relaxed tone: "I plan to stay at Kudo's house for a while, presumably my 'good friend' will help me out."

When he said "good friend", the corner of Conan's mouth twitched again.

This is what he himself admitted. If this guy wants to go to his house to eat and live for nothing, he has absolutely nothing to do.If this guy is miserable and says that he has nowhere to go, judging by Xiaolan's softened attitude towards him, maybe he will take this unknown man home, how can this be possible!

"But Shinichi isn't at home..."

"It's okay, it's okay! He already knows." Ranpo laughed, "Right? Conan."

"Yes, yes!" Conan answered bravely, "Brother Xinyi left the key of the house with Dr. Ali, Brother Ranbu, go visit Dr. Ari first, and call Xinyi tomorrow. It doesn't matter if the first brother confirms..."

Of course, these are all Conan's superficial rhetoric. He has to figure out how the other party knows his identity. Moreover, he is very interested in Ranpo's reasoning ability.The mysteries that can be solved that night should not be left until the next day. Of course, Conan chose to take this confused guy to Dr. Ali's house, intending to have a late-night meeting to understand each other.

"Sister Xiaolan, I haven't been to Dr. Ali's house for a long time, can I sleep with Brother Ranbu tonight?"

Children speak sincerely, and adults have no reason to refuse, but accidents always happen——

"No."

Completely uncooperative remarks emerged.

Luanbu puffed up his cheeks, looking extremely reluctant, unexpected but reasonable.He didn't like to wrong himself in the first place, and he was the best at pushing his nose on his face, even if he was under the fence.

"Ranbu adults don't want to share a bed with a primary school student!" Luanbu, who appeared to be an adult but looked like a child, yelled loudly.

On the surface, he is a child, but in fact he is a mature high school student detective: "..."

Sure enough, he didn't get along with this guy at all!

In the end, the three of them went to Dr. Ali's house together.

Conan originally wanted to send Xiaolan home first, and then go to Dr. Ali with Ranpo. After all, it is not safe for a female high school student to walk alone at night.This kind of proposal was rejected by Xiaolan, and the reason was so good that even Conan couldn't refute it——

"I'm worried about you two children walking around at night."

That's right, some things really don't just look at appearances, Mao Lilan with a black belt in karate is more reliable than these two weak chicken detectives with low force values.

Dr. Ali is a good-tempered person. He was not angry when he was woken up by the knock on the door late at night, but he received this "good friend of Xinyi" in a daze under the hint of Conan's eyes.In the end, he was worried about a girl named Mao Lilan going back, so he specially changed his clothes and sent her out.

After Mao Lilan and Dr. Ali went out, Conan took off the disguise of a child, revealing the wit of a high school student detective.

"How do you know I'm Kudo Shinichi?" Conan asked straightforwardly when he came up.

Because of the black organization, whether or not Kudo Shinichi's identity is exposed is directly related to the safety of the people around him. For him, this is the most important issue, and the urgency even exceeds the detection of Ranpo's true identity.

"Isn't that obvious? You can see it at a glance." Sitting on the sofa, Luanbu yawned, with wet eyes, "Well, Mr. Ranbu is sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing that the other party was about to lie down on the sofa, Conan pulled him up forcefully: "No, don't sleep! Tell me now!"

"Okay, okay, you're really annoying." Luanbu was very unhappy, but considering that the other party provided board and lodging, he still cheered up and started to narrate from what he saw and heard in the afternoon.

When he first came to this world, Ranbu was constantly receiving messages from the outside world. Let him spend half a day in places with a lot of traffic, such as commercial streets, stations, and parks.

The most direct source of information is the newsstand. Standing by the side, Ranbu took a quick glance and remembered some recent events in Mihua Town—the bombing at the station, the missing female high school student on the missing person notice, and the sudden emergence of troops in the past six months. , the sought-after famous detective "Sleeping Kogoro Mori".

Isn't it strange that you can solve the case by talking in your sleep?

If Ranpo hadn't met Mori Kogoro himself, he would really think it was his supernatural power.After seeing him, Ranpo judged that the other party was just an ordinary person who retired from the police force and is currently working as a detective. So where did this nickname come from?

Ranpo was a little curious about why this happened, but he understood after seeing Conan.

"Modified foot-strengthening shoes, a football that can be taken out at any time, a voice changer decorated as a bow tie, a watch-shaped anesthesia needle launcher, and if the brooch is a communicator, the cufflinks are probably used for eavesdropping..." Ranbu Impatiently pointing out the functions of Conan's equipment one by one, he has seen these little things a lot, so he can tell them apart at a glance.

Regarding the high school student detective Kudo Shinichi, the owner of the newsstand said that there were still news reports on him in the first half of the year, but he probably went abroad recently, and he doesn’t appear much now.The timing of the appearance of the two famous detectives in Mihua Town happens to be consecutive, which is enough to be listed as a point of attention.

"...And if you live with Mao Li, then it can completely explain why that uncle detective can solve the case with his eyes closed."

The expression on Ranpo's face was so natural that Conan wondered if he was really full of flaws. The most unbelievable thing for him was: "Don't you think it's incredible for a high school student to shrink into a child? Normal people don't Think of this level?!"

It's really strange, but when you think of all kinds of supernatural beings, the small situation of transformation is not beyond expectations.What's more, he has traveled through a different world, which is even more incredible than what happened to Conan.

"Eliminate all the impossible, and what remains is the truth."

Ranpo gave an extremely detective-style answer.

This sentence resonated with Conan. The elementary school student detective looked at the young man with a complicated face, and couldn't help asking: "What about the case of the female high school student? You only read the missing person notice in the newspaper, so what?" Do you know that's the culprit?"

"Stains on trousers and clothes, the smell of chemical reagents on the body, hair sticking to leather shoes, powder in the nails, cuts on fingers..." The more Luanbu explained, the more irritable he became, and he raised his voice and became annoyed. He said, "He didn't hide the fact that he killed someone at all, why can't you see it?"

Ranbu didn't know why he had to repeat such an obvious thing. It was like asking a doctoral student to write a [-]-word thesis to explain why one plus one equals two. He couldn't explain it clearly.

"Master Ranbu is going to sleep!"

He fell to the sofa, covered his ears, and refused to speak to Conan again.
