Lost Lord Ranbu

"Edogawa-kun, where are we going..."

"Just come with me!"

Luanbu took a breath and walked forward, and his pace accelerated a lot, which made Edgar Allan Poe, a mental worker who also didn't exercise very much, miserable.

When did Edogawa-kun's physical strength become so good?

In his words, it is very difficult just to keep up...

As expected of Edogawa-kun, you must be exercising regularly, right?Although I don't have any muscles on my body, it doesn't look like I've exercised at all, but I must be exercising!

The young detective from the United States couldn't help but think so.

This is a forest far away from the urban area. Luanbu got a walking stick from somewhere, and swept aside the weeds and branches blocking the road.He didn't say anything superfluous along the way, but just kept a straight face, as if he was not very happy.

Such silent random steps made Poe a little strange. After all, a joking person suddenly became serious, no matter how he thought about it, nothing good would happen.

He didn't ask any more questions, and followed Ranbu obediently. At the same time, he didn't forget to observe the surrounding environment, hoping to judge the purpose of Ranbu.

Edgar Allan Poe had not been in Yokohama for a long time, he didn’t like to go out usually, he was not familiar with this place, he didn’t know why Luanbu would suddenly take him to walk the mountain road.However, when he saw the path cleared by Luanbu, and from the traces on it, he could tell that at least two people had walked by, so he roughly understood that Luanbu was looking for someone.

There are only two people who Ranpo will look for, one is Mori Ogai whose whereabouts are currently unknown, and the other is Fukuzawa Yukichi who was asked just now. These two people are likely to stay together.

After walking for about 10 minutes, passing through the small woods hidden in the road, you can see an open area in front of you. A red brick auditorium that seems to be abandoned is located in the open space. whistling.

This is probably the destination.

"Should be in time?" Luanbu said to himself.

"Edogawa-kun?"

Luanbu turned his gaze back to Poe, looked at the panting assistant, tilted his head, and said with some disgust, "You should exercise more, Mr. Poe."

Poe: "...oh."

In fact, neither of them is the type who can exercise, because what the organization needs is their brains, and there is no requirement for force value-if the planner still has strong force, why do they need the fighters?

Ranpo is physically stronger than Poe because of Holmes' spiritual foundation. Although his muscle strength is only d, it is enough for ordinary people.

Edgar Allan Poe was about to get out of the bushes, but was stopped by Luanbu.

"Someone is watching here."

"..."

After hearing the words, Poe paused, observed a little, and soon discovered the "watcher" that Ranpo mentioned.

In fact, from their side, they couldn't see the whole picture of the watcher at all. They could only vaguely see something squatting in the shadow of the bushes tens of meters away, and the mirror of the small telescope shone red in the setting sun.

Ranbu saw the person hiding there more clearly than Poe, and even recognized the person's identity.

"A traitor to the Port Mafia," he said confidently.

"kindness?"

"Is it so strange? There are so many people in the port mafia, it's normal for a few useless traitors to appear." Ranbu replied indifferently.

"Like this—" he pointed to the person watching here, "he was probably threatened by the Russians. He was strapped with a bomb. I saw two red and blue threads around his neck."

Ellen Poe widened his eyes, trying to distinguish the figure from the shadows, but found that he couldn't see the red and blue lines that Ranpo said at all—could this be the reason why he lost to Ranpo-kun twice?How is this level of observation achieved?

"Ah, you are another idiot who chose to cooperate with the Russians because he was afraid of death... How pathetic."

I can already see what happened to that person.

Either he died in the hands of the Russians, or he was dealt with by the port mafia as a traitor after the incident. It is impossible to live smoothly, and the only ending waiting for him is death.

Ranpo looked away indifferently.

"Let's go, Mr. Poe."

"Is it okay to leave it like this?"

"It's better to say that I expect him to report to the Russians, just say 'Edogawa Ranpo is coming'." The green eyes of the black-haired young man reflected an inhuman cold light, "Being held down all the time Bullying, it is clearly a cat but it is run over by a mouse, if you don't take revenge, Mr. Ranbu won't be able to sleep at night."

Luanbu got up and got out of the bushes, and walked towards the red brick auditorium.

Poe noticed a slight movement in the bushes where the watcher was, and it was obvious that the man had seen the chaotic steps going out in the open.

At that moment, the red brick auditorium exploded.

With a loud bang, half of the roof was lifted by flames and air waves, and the glass painted with colored paintings was directly shattered.

Luanbu subconsciously covered his head.

what happened? !

The explosion wasn't what he expected.

Neither Mori Ogai nor Fukuzawa Yukichi knew how to use explosives. Could it be that the Russians arranged the explosion?

But it was Mori Ogai and Fukuzawa Yukichi's temporary idea to come here to duel. They didn't agree in advance, but they made a choice under some kind of inexplicable tacit understanding.It is impossible for the Russians to know about this place, let alone arrange it in advance. Even the monitor followed Mori Ogai to find it.

With an explosion of this magnitude, the people inside may be in danger.But if you don't see it with your own eyes, it doesn't mean anything at all!

Luanbu took a few steps forward.

"Mr. Edogawa, it's dangerous!" Poe wanted to stop him from entering the ruins, but Ranbu had already rushed inside regardless, and quickly disappeared behind the brick wall.Edgar Allan Poe had no choice but to put down his raised arms with a mournful face, "At least keep the novel, if something happens to Mr. Luanbu, what should we do..."

Fortunately, there was no secondary explosion afterwards, and the fire quickly subsided, leaving only a few sporadic clusters of flames.

Stepping on the broken rubble, he climbed over half of the red brick wall. As soon as he poked his head out, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The Mr. Sen he was familiar with squatted on the ground in embarrassment, his black coat was dirty, and there were many damages and bloodstains on it.Kneeling next to Mr. Mori was a silver-haired man in a kimono with the same disheveled face and bleeding from his neck. He was still conscious, barely supporting his body with his arms.

At this time, both of them were looking up at the man in the bowler hat on the top of the ruins in shock, and did not notice the arrival of Ranbu.

"Ms. Natsume?!"

The man called "Natsume-sensei" was holding a staff, and his beard was shaved to look like a gentleman. He was not affected by the explosion at all, and his clothes were still very neat-it should be said that this explosion was the first time he was born. The three-flowered cat turned into a human body, and its energy was too large.

"You two are really troublesome guys." Natsume Soseki, who claims to be the most powerful person in Yokohama and the teacher of Mori Ogai and Fukuzawa Yukichi, tapped his cane, "You can't let a reclusive old man Save yourself some snacks? Why on earth did this old man entrust this city to you?"

The students being taught kept their heads down and said nothing.

Even if one of them is the president of the Armed Detective Agency and the other is the leader of the port mafia, they have the right to call the wind and rain in Yokohama, and their combined age is 80 years old. They still dare not make mistakes in front of their teacher Natsume Soseki.

Natsume Soseki reprimanded his disciple in a condescending manner, and then turned his head to look in the direction where Ranpo was.

"You brat over there, come out." He pointed, "If you're worried about these two incompetent guys, then there's no need. After all, you can do some legwork, and your vitality is second to none, so you won't be able to die yet. "

Hearing this, Mori Ogai and Fukuzawa Yukichi both looked over.

Using his hands and feet in disorder, he climbed up the brick wall in a not particularly good-looking posture, and looked at the distance from the ground, and he simply sat on it.

"Ranpo?!" Fukuzawa Yukichi called out his name in surprise, not knowing why he appeared here.

Mori Ogai, who is not particularly familiar with the pillar of the detective agency, didn't respond. He thought Natsume-sensei had brought Edogawa Ranpo over here, but what made people a little concerned was Natsume-sensei's words—what does it mean to worry about the two of them? ?Edogawa Ranpo should only care about Fukuzawa-dono, right?

The sudden random step didn't respond to Fukuzawa Yukichi, nor did he talk to Mori Ogai. He just sat on a high place and swayed his legs. He didn't have the panic just now, and he looked indifferent: "Then what? What's up."

Natsume Soseki didn't care about his rudeness, "It's up to you to teach the two of them a lesson."

Luan Bu was silent for a while, then scratched his hair a little irritably: "He is really a man who can call people... I really can't help you, so I will tell you."

The warrior's intuition is very keen. After careful observation, Fukuzawa Yukichi always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this "random step".

Is it because Ranpo didn't pay attention to him?

For the first time just now, he did feel that Luanbu was looking at him, but that kind of gaze was very strange, looking at him with inquiry—this is not the feeling he should have after living together for more than ten years.

Fukuzawa Yukichi knew Edogawa Ranpo very well. When Edogawa Ranpo was 15 years old, the two of them met and formed a well-known detective team, and they lived together afterwards.

Therefore, Fukuzawa Yukichi is particularly sensitive to his emotional changes.

He originally wanted to ask more, but it was obviously not a good time to ask this question, because Ranpo had already started to "teach" the two of them.

"Haven't you found out where the Russian is?" Luanbu asked casually, thinking that if they didn't find out, they could only rely on their own reasoning.

The Edogawa Ranpo and Nakahara Chu of this world also entered the novel. Presumably the Russians also planned to let the most difficult two consume each other. The previous misleading against Edogawa Ranpo has failed. At this time The sudden appearance of himself can catch him off guard.

Natsume Soseki chuckled: "What's the use of asking them, the little devil in the flower bag has been found out."

"Ahem..." The flower bag that was almost shot to death by the Russians because he knew too much, but was finally saved by Natsume Soseki waved away the smoke and staggered over from the other end, "Your Excellency Natsume? Where are you?"

"That's easy." Luanbu glanced at the flower bag, squinted his eyes and smiled, "But, the enemy is very cunning, if there is any trouble, they will hide immediately, so when do you say is the best time? ?”

Ranpo really asked questions to Fukuzawa Yukichi and Mori Ogai just like the teacher asked students in class.

"By the way!" Mori Ogai showed a stunned look, "Only when the lives and deaths of the two leaders are uncertain..."

"He will stay in the stronghold to confirm the situation." Fukuzawa Yukichi followed up.

"Have you finally come to your senses?" Ranbu pretended to be surprised, "I thought you two had a fever and burned your brains out."

Mori Ogai always felt that this sounded like a mockery that the two of them would only use force to solve the problem, but the high fever brought by the virus did make him a little slow to react.Fukuzawa Yukichi noticed that Ranpo seemed to be angry, this feeling was fleeting, and Ranpo quickly continued talking.

"The prime time is twelve hours before your onset of illness. The people who are monitoring nearby have also gone back to report at this time. It's time for you to go." Luan Bu stood up.

Only then did Fukuzawa Yukichi notice that Ranpo was not wearing his usual sand-proof cloak, but a large black windbreaker.

...It seems a little familiar.

Unfortunately, Mori Ogai thought so too.
