Lost Lord Ranbu

Unlike the tit-for-tat comparisons that are full of mutual comparisons when other people meet their peers, the first meeting of Edogawa Ranpo and the others can be said to be very harmonious. Coupled with the refreshments in front of them, no matter how you look at it, it is the same. Tea time for twin brothers who haven't seen each other for many years to exchange feelings.

As the third person who strayed into this brotherly meeting tea party, Fukuzawa Yukichi could only drink tea in silence.

For a whole hour, Fukuzawa Yukichi listened to the two of them chatting about everything from crepe condiments sold in Minato Mirai, Yokohama, to salty fried snacks in Tokyo. Strange guesses about whether it will rain later - this kind of topic, maybe Kenji Miyazawa, a young cattle herder in the countryside, would be more interested.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was not interested in their chat content, and he couldn't intervene at all.

It should be said that there is no third person in the world who can keep up with the thinking of the two of them, and there is no way to integrate into the two of them.

One Edogawa Ranpo is already a miracle in the world, and now two Edogawa Ranpos appear at the same time, do you still expect someone to chat with them at the same height?

Just listening to that kind of messy and out-of-the-ordinary topic is enough to make people dizzy, and it is impossible to extract useful information. Fukuzawa Yukichi can keep listening calmly, only because he practiced Chinese ancient martial arts only emphasize self-cultivation.

If someone else was here, they should have kicked out these two guys who disturbed others' rest angrily, and hung a "Do Not Disturb" warning sign on the door.Fukuzawa Yukichi really wanted to do this in his heart, but the two in front of him were "Edogawa Ranpo", so he endured it patiently like he did 12 years ago.

Fukuzawa Yukichi knew that Ranpo Edogawa was alone for a long time. After the accidental death of his parents, before he met him, in the time when he was still a teenager, a man with a vision higher than ordinary people who could not understand the world Genius gropes its way alone.

The same should be true for Edogawa Ranpo in the parallel world. Although he did not meet "Fukuzawa Yukichi", he should have lived a lonely, even very difficult life before he was adopted by Mori Ogai.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the two chatting happily, and couldn't help but recall the boy who separated himself from the world.After so many years of teaching, although he has not completely broken the wall that isolated him from the outside world and allowed him to integrate into this world, at least it has been quite effective.

Fukuzawa Yukichi would feel sad every time he looked at Ranpo.

At this moment, there was finally no one on the other side of the wall.

Because Fukuzawa Yukichi held a gratifying and tolerant attitude, thinking that the Edogawa Ranpo who shared the same language should be allowed to chat more, and the result was that he asked for trouble and was forced to listen to an unrelated topic for an hour—because Two noisy ducks don't know enough is enough.

Fukuzawa Yukichi felt that this could not go on like this, and the two who were naturally escaped could not stop talking together.

"Random steps..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi shouted, and two people responded immediately.

"What's the matter? President."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the port mafia cadre from another world in silence, and the other party looked at him with a smile. Although the appearance and tone were similar to the Edogawa Ranpo he was familiar with, there was still a difference between the two.

Compared with the fetters that the detective duo have been working together for more than ten years, Ranpo, who does not belong to this world, obviously has not yet integrated into them.This is also impossible, after all, it is too difficult for him to get along with Fukuzawa Yukichi as a Mori Omi who adopted him, and it is inevitable that he will be a little rusty in his demeanor, even if he wants to show "closeness" .

Because of this, Fukuzawa Yukichi felt that he imitated another self's attitude just for fun, so he refused: "You are not my member, so you don't need to call me the president."

The mafia cadre didn't care about this, he shrugged, imitating Mori Ogai's address to Fukuzawa Yukichi, and quickly changed his words: "Your Excellency Fukuzawa."

Fukuzawa Yukichi felt even more uncomfortable.

He didn't deliberately want to exclude the other party, he grew up watching Edogawa Ranpo, and he couldn't stay out of the matter of Ranpo no matter what.

At the beginning, Fukuzawa Yukichi adopted Edogawa Ranpo because he realized the uniqueness of the boy. If he was not given the correct teaching, he might be recruited by a criminal group to become a think tank one day.Unexpectedly, in the parallel world, Fukuzawa Yukichi's worries became true, and "Edogawa Ranpo" really became a think tank of the port mafia.

Fukuzawa Yukichi doesn't know if this is considered "going astray", but he is not qualified to dictate to an adult with independent thinking ability - Edogawa Ranpo in the parallel world is a cadre of the port mafia, this is already It's an established fact.

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned tightly, looking hesitant to speak.But the cadre who was worried by him didn't hesitate at all. After changing his name, he quickly talked about the topic of the detective agency: "Speaking of which, I want to try the career of a detective, but I don't want to be a detective." The plan of the company president. Originally, I thought about bringing Mr. Mori in to do things, but he seems to have a lot of work recently... Oh, this is really difficult."

"Huh?" Edogawa raised his eyes randomly, he showed a proud look, as if Fukuzawa Yukichi was showing off like a big treasure, "Isn't there a ready-made candidate for president? No one is better than him. Suitable! If the detective's deduction is correct, your Fukuzawa Yukichi should still be working as a bodyguard, so just hire him."

"Yeah, but he rejected me, saying that the mafia doesn't need bodyguards." The cadre puffed up his cheeks with dissatisfaction. He was referring to the fact that Mori Ogai invited Fukuzawa Yukichi to be his bodyguard, but Things that were ruthlessly rejected.

Edogawa Ranbu curled his lips: "You definitely didn't invite me in person, you are not sincere at all! Let me tell you a trick, to deal with people like the president, you have to go in person, and then find any reason to stalk them, It would be best to stay at his house."

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

Did the two of you put me in your eyes, and just said in front of me how to stalk the client? Is this really okay?

Fukuzawa Yukichi gripped the teacup slightly harder.

Speaking of which, Edogawa Ranpo was indeed stalking Fukuzawa Yukichi back then, and after seeing what kind of person Fukuzawa Yukichi was, he wanted to follow him.Fukuzawa Yukichi only promised to help him once for free. Unexpectedly, Edogawa Ranpo, in front of him, picked up the public phone and dialed his work mobile phone, and asked Fukuzawa Yukichi to take him in under the name of entrustment.

"Of course I know about that kind of thing." The cadre glanced at Fukuzawa Yukichi and continued talking to his peers, "It's just that I haven't had time recently."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a while, as if he had made some important decision, he made a firm promise: "If you have any trouble, go to 'Fukuzawa Yukichi'. If you ask him, he will definitely agree."

The cadre looked at him with a smile: "Then I have to record it with a tape recorder, otherwise I will lack key evidence."

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

He clearly knew that Fukuzawa Yukichi would not play tricks on this kind of thing, but he still teased the other party like this, obviously on purpose.

The cadre said with emotion: "I originally wanted to come here to see how the real armed detective agency operates, but everyone thought I was the one who caused trouble."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at him with disapproving eyes again.

The cadre sighed: "Okay, okay, I will take care of it, and I promise there will be no sequelae."

"Who told you not to explain the plan clearly to others, it was a temporary decision to do so." The famous detective has long seen through this point.

"Anyway, Dazai will clean up the mess."

It has to be said that Fukuzawa Yukichi reassured Ranpo too early.

After the Holy Grail is recovered, the singularity it caused will naturally disappear, and people in the singularity will not remember what happened. Even if there are casualties, they will only be distorted into car accidents, gas explosions, etc. Understand natural and man-made disasters, of course there will be no "sequelae".

Therefore, it is okay to interpret this incident as the work of a person with supernatural powers. Anyway, no matter what the truth is, it will be misinterpreted as that in the end.

Ranpo will not explain these words to others, and only Dazai who got the "book" can understand the truth.

"What happened before? Didn't you say that you traveled to different places?" The famous detective became interested in the experiences of the cadres. To get to the bottom of it, he didn't have super-reasoning abilities, so he couldn't deduce the details of the cadres' journey to another world. .

After talking aimlessly for an hour about irrelevant topics, the two of them finally talked about something Fukuzawa Yukichi could understand.

Fukuzawa Yukichi cheered up and listened.

The story started a few months ago when the Russians played tricks. To be on the safe side, Dazai sent Ranpo to travel around the world.

When I met myself in another world, the desire to talk in disorder became very strong, and the words became more and more.Because no matter how upside down he tells the story, the person in charge of listening can understand it and understand it very well-after all, it is the same person.

After he finished talking about his experience, the two members of the Armed Detective Agency fell into silence. The detective pondered for a moment before offering his own opinion: "The world Dazai sent you to is a bit strange, maybe it wasn't out of his original intention? I It means that Dazai originally didn’t want you to go to that kind of world.”

Fukuzawa Yukichi thinks so too.

Since it is necessary to ensure the safety of the cadres, at least choose a safe refuge.But hearing what Luanbu said, it seemed that the places he went to seemed to be some high-risk places.

A world where murders happen from time to time, a world where ordinary people have supernatural powers (personality), and even a world that caused the Yokohama crisis with heroic spirits and the Holy Grail... These places are not safe at all, and it would be better to stay in In Yokohama, how could the thoughtful Dazai let Luanbu go forward without the ability to protect himself?

"Yeah, I've discovered it a long time ago, but Dazai didn't seem to notice it. It can only be said that the props he used for teleportation were wrong. It's something that is difficult to control." There is nothing wrong with the cadre Happy, he squinted his eyes and smiled, "Compared to these, I found something pleasing."

"What are you happy about?"

"Your Excellency Fuze's portrait has been printed on the [-]-yuan bill!" Ranbu announced the news impatiently, "This is true in all three worlds!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

What kind of strange world is this?

"But there is no Mr. Mori." Ranpo was a little distressed, "You said that if Dazai and I joined forces to push Mr. Mori to the position of prime minister—no, it would be the emperor, if he was the emperor, he would be able to print Mr. Mori's head portrait It's on the bill!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

No, he didn't think Mori Ogai would be happy.
