Lost Lord Ranbu

The magic circuit in the sky has been shown to everyone, so this is the end of Ranpo's work for today.Mori Ogai tried to persuade him to stay, but Ranpo did not agree to stay in the port mafia, but said that he still had something to do and he had to return to the Armed Detective Agency first.Mori Ogai still had matters to deal with, so he stopped pressing and thoughtfully provided him with a car.

As an assistant, Oda Sakunosuke, and Akutagawa, who was temporarily assigned the task of bodyguard, were about to board the car with Ranpo, but they were stopped by Dazai.

"Odasaku, don't go." He ordered succinctly.

Oda Sakunosuke subconsciously glanced at Ranpo.

Although Ranpo and Dazai are both cadres, Oda Sakunosuke's immediate superior is Ranpo. If Ranpo issued an order to the contrary, Dazai's words would not count.

Sitting in the car with random steps, he took a leisurely look at the people outside the car door: "Whether Oda is going or not, Akutagawa will stay."

Those who were left behind were all at a loss, but they didn't raise any objections, and each took two steps back.

Dazai turned to Chuya Nakahara and said, "Chuya, you will be with Mr. Ranpo from now on. Take care of him and don't let him run around."

"You don't need to tell me, I will do it." Nakahara Chuya used to choke with him verbally, but in action, he opened the car door very simply and got in.

When the car was driving normally on the road, Nakahara also asked a question: "Why did Akutagawa and Oda stay there?"

Dazai asked him to follow Mr. Ranpo, probably to avoid suspicion.After all, it is not very good for him to work for others. He was forced to help stabilize the situation before. Both Dazai and Mr. Ranpo acquiesced to his actions, and it would be inappropriate for him to stay in the port mafia afterward—on this point, Nakahara Chuya still With a clear understanding.

But what about Oda Sakunosuke and Akutagawa?

"Because the Supernatural Secret Service Division will come to the door later, Akutagawa staying in the port mafia is easier to explain and more intuitive. After all, there are two people who are exactly the same." Ranpo said without hesitation, "As for Oda Saku ...Maybe it's Dazai's selfishness, no one likes to be robbed of things that have been worked so hard to preserve."

"The Oda of this world..."

"died."

Although he had this kind of premonition when he talked with Mori Ogai before, when he heard the news directly from Ranpo, Nakahara was still stunned.Apart from Osamu Dazai who escaped, this news surprised him the most.

He asked: "How did you die? Is it the dragon head war?"

"No, it's a mimic incident." Ranpo looked at the passing scenery outside the window with no expression on his face, "Oda Sakunosuke died in the incident four years ago."

"...Wait, four years ago?"

"It's time for Dazai to flee."

Nakahara, who knew nothing about this matter, also said incredulously: "The Dazai Osamu in this world escaped because of the death of Oda Sakunosuke? Oda was killed on the front line as a hero of the port mafia, and Dazai turned around. Betrayed the organization, there is no causal relationship between them."

If your friend is killed, then do your best to retaliate.

The mimic was indeed destroyed, but Osamu Dazai ignored the results achieved by Oda Sakunosuke and fled directly from the port mafia.Does he value Oda Sakunosuke, or does he have a grudge against Oda Sakunosuke?

"That's why Mr. Hat doesn't know the inside story." Ranpo said, "Probably Oda Saku said something to Dazai before he died, or Dazai discovered the truth of the incident."

"……what?"

Nakahara also didn't believe that Osamu Dazai would abandon everything and turn to the light just because of a few words from someone. He knew Osamu Dazai very well. This man was bleeding from the mafia, darker than anyone in the world. Does death change a person?

"It's not that simple." Ranbu looked at Chuya Nakahara, and calmly analyzed for him, "Hat-kun knows about our affairs. Mr. Mori introduced the mimic to Yokohama on purpose because he wanted to get it. Ability to open a license."

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded.

At the beginning, Mori Ogai and Ranpo planned an incident that was enough to threaten the Supernatural Secret Service and force them to issue a certificate of legal operation to the port mafia.

Nakahara is also the one in charge of the main attack. He still remembers that the mimic leader has the same troublesome abilities as Oda Sakunosuke, and the other party was induced by Oda Sakunosuke. He arrived in Yokohama and made a fuss within two days before being caught by the port mafia. Annihilated.

"However, in this world there are no cadres 'Edogawa Ranpo', there are only famous detectives 'Edogawa Ranpo'." Ranpo propped his chin and said, "Without the influence of 'I', the special agent department He will not let go so easily. Without the guarantee of 'I', Dazai would not agree to use Odasaku as a bait. Without the help of 'I', the whole process would not be as we planned—"

"The relationship between Dazai and Mr. Mori in this world is very bad. In order to get rid of him, Mr. Mori can only choose to sacrifice Oda Sakunosuke. It is indeed a pity to lose a person with supernatural powers, but a non-killing mafia who will leave the organization sooner or later Obviously less tempting than the other two options, Mr Mori's plan is to kill two birds with one stone."

"So, Dazai's betrayal is in Mr. Mori's plan, and it is inevitable in this world." Ranbu paused for a moment, then laughed heartlessly, "Speaking of which, Mr. Mori is still very afraid of Dazai. .”

Some in the Central Plains also couldn't tell which Mr. Mori he was talking about, and which Dazai Osamu he was talking about, maybe there were both.

However, what other people do is none of his business.He swore his allegiance to the leader of the Port Mafia, and to assist him in defending Yokohama.Now the leader is Mori Ogai, and the situation is also very stable. If Osamu Dazai wants to usurp the throne, Nakahara will definitely stop it.

"This world really sucks." Zhong Yuan was speechless.

He thought about it again, and it seemed that he couldn't say that.

Life in this world is full of all kinds of unhappiness, and different worlds have different lives. Perhaps in the eyes of people in this world, their own world is the worst one—the port mafia is so powerful, no matter how you look at it It's not like the "good guy" side has the upper hand.

Chuya Nakahara: "Osamu Dazai of this world works in an armed detective agency? That guy can actually do good deeds."

"Yeah, Dazai will do a good job."

After listening to Ranpo's analysis and accepting the setting of this world, Chuya Nakahara slightly changed his view of Osamu Dazai.He doesn't care about Dazai's betrayal anymore, at least he won't beat him to death if he disagrees with someone after seeing him.

The Osamu Dazai of this world is working for the Armed Detective Agency. Maybe his blood is still black, but he is doing good deeds in a down-to-earth manner, which is better than doing nothing.And he was able to do this for Oda Sakunosuke. Although there were factors such as the leader's persecution and other factors, it must be said that Nakahara Chuya discovered for the first time that Osamu Dazai was still a loyal person.

Maybe the Dazai of the two worlds are different?

I can't generalize myself.

Zhongyuan Zhong also made psychological construction for himself.

until--

He saw Osamu Dazai of the Armed Detective Agency.

"Lululu ~ Zhong is also my shepherd dog ~"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

The psychological construction I had just completed showed a slight tendency to collapse.

"La la la—huh?" Osamu Dazai saw Nakahara Chuya coming in, and he knew from the bugging device that the other party was coming, but he still deliberately pretended to be surprised, "Oh, this Isn’t it Chuya from a parallel world? No matter which world you are in, you haven’t grown taller, how does it feel to be 15 years old? Chuya.”

At the beginning, Zhong Yuanzhong could also refute that he was in the growth period and could grow taller, but he is now 22 years old, and his height has really not continued to grow.

Ranpo comforted him and said that it doesn't matter, after all, the average height of Japanese men is not very good.Nakahara Chuya didn't care much about this at first, but Osamu Dazai, who went through the growth period and exaggeratedly became a bamboo pole, stimulated him with his height every now and then.

"Where is the microscope I just bought?" Osamu Dazai looked around.

Kunikida: "There is no such thing."

Osamu Dazai was unmoved, and said seriously: "I want to see the difference between the Chuya in the parallel world and the Chuya I know—well, they are all pitch black and very small!"

Zhongyuan Zhong also endured it, but he still couldn't.

At first, I thought that Osamu Dazai in this world could be a bit human, but it turns out that no matter which world Osamu Dazai is in, he is virtuous!

The short, orange-haired young man rushed up very quickly, grabbed Osamu Dazai by the collar with both hands, lifted him up abruptly, and cursed through gritted teeth: "You idiot, do you want to finish? Do you want to die? "

Osamu Dazai, who was held in his hands, suddenly became quiet, and his serious expression looked a bit like the cadre negotiating with Mori Ogai.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also taken aback, but still did not let go.

"Chuya." Osamu Dazai's voice sank.

"what?"

"Why are you still wearing this tasteless hat, it feels like you can't keep up with the trend—"

"To shut up!"

"Mr. Ranpo, do you just leave it alone?" Nakajima was taken aback by the rush of mafia officials, and he asked the pillar of the Armed Detective Agency worriedly, "Will Mr. Dazai be killed? That Mafia cadres look more terrifying than Akutagawa..."

"They don't know what to do, isn't that what it looks like in the end when you partner with Dazai?" Edogawa said indifferently, with a lollipop in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging.

"……makes sense."

Nakajima thought of Mr. Kunikida kicking Mr. Dazai mercilessly on weekdays, throwing him like garbage and throwing him out of the door, etc., and suddenly felt that this Central Plains cadre of the port mafia was not easy. It is already very gentle to provoke Mr. Dazai without killing him.

Edogawa glanced at the door randomly, curled his lips, and was no longer sitting lazily.He kicked his feet, pushed away the chair and stood up, crossed the quarreling double black, and walked towards the door.

"Mr. Ranpo, where are you going?"

"Go to the president." The detective waved his hand.

When he reached the president's office, he reached out and pushed the door without knocking.

A young man carved out of his own face was sitting opposite Fukuzawa Yukichi. On the desk was a stack of sliced ​​yokan and several cherry blossoms. The two cups of tea were still steaming, obviously freshly brewed. Not long.

Seeing Edogawa stepping into the door, Fukuzawa Yukichi looked a little hesitant, and subconsciously glanced at the black-haired young man sitting in front of him.

"Random steps..."

"It's too much! As soon as I saw Mr. Hat enter the door, I knew that you were eating behind my back." Edogawa Ranpo quarreled unconvinced as if he had discovered that the adults were biased, and at the same time he did not forget to explain Looking at what he found, "After all, Mr. Hat smells like a pastry shop, and there are marks left by the bag on his hand, but someone took it away after he arrived at the door. Only the president on this floor will visit the president with wagashi. is you!"

Before Fukuzawa Yukichi could say anything, he ran to the edge of the desk in a few steps, and dragged a chair over by himself——Fukuzawa Yukichi was forced to endure the sound of the chair rubbing against the floor——Edogawa Ranbu placed the chair next to another black-haired youth.

"Hey—" He sat down comfortably.

Ranpo looked at him curiously.

Edogawa casually twirled a piece of yokan and put it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "You guys really know how to enjoy it? The yokan in this store only sells for 150 yuan a day, and it's almost night now. Can be bought."

"It should be like this. Mr. Hat originally wanted the boss to do it again, but I think it's a waste of time." Luanbu replied, "As soon as I walked in, I found that the shop assistant secretly left a few yuan to take home. Report this to your boss immediately."

His tone is the same as that of Edogawa Ranpo revealing that Nakahara Nakaya went to buy wagashi. The same voice speaks, and when he closes his eyes, it is a weird duet.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the two identical Edogawa Ranpos in front of him, who were only different in clothing, and felt his head hurt a bit, as if dreaming of the powerlessness he felt when he first saw Ranpo 12 years ago—the noisy duck Enough, two together, are you trying to piss me off?
