Lost Lord Ranbu

Chapter 9 Lost, Station 1*9

Because of the appearance of Edogawa Ranpo, Conan and Dr. Ari colluded with each other, found a reason to deal with their childhood sweetheart, and temporarily moved to Dr. Ari’s house, mainly for the purpose of observing and monitoring Ranpo, for fear that he would say anything again. Amazing, say something incredible.

as predicted--

"You and Huiyuan are both being hunted down by the same organization."

On the second day, Edogawa Ranpo, who had just moved in, casually pointed out the secret they had carefully concealed, and Conan thought "Finally here!" in his heart.

Although he was mentally prepared when his identity was exposed, he still felt a little unbelievable when Ranpo really told these secrets—this was all half a year ago, and the clues left on them should have been there long ago. Losing the time limit, they can tell their current situation by reasoning alone. How did they do it?

"Did you see it?" Conan asked tentatively.

"Isn't this something that is on the bright side?" It was probably the topic that Ranbu himself brought up on his own initiative. He didn't show any impatience this time, holding a bottle of marble soda and sitting on the chair and drinking it slowly. "Although it can be generally confirmed, but before explaining, I must first ask—"

Both Conan and Haibara held their breath.

"Do you know supernatural powers?"

"……what?"

Conan and Haibara were completely out of the situation, and the two people who believed in science had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Ranbu noticed their expressions, and nodded confidently: "It looks like it's gone, so it proves that my reasoning is correct!"

"Wait! Is there any relationship between this?" Conan asked.

Everything has a cause and effect, and Luanbu's overly intelligent mind allows him to skip the cause and process naturally, and directly tell the result to others, which makes his words always confusing.

Conan had discovered this before. After all, the Sherlock Holmes he admired was also eccentric because he was too smart. For geniuses that the world cannot understand, Conan tried hard to understand part of their thinking, but about "supernatural powers" and The two topics of the "Black Organization" are completely irrelevant, and Conan, who knows nothing about supernatural powers, really can't find the connection.

For Ranpo, it is very important to confirm whether there is any supernatural ability in this world. The existence of supernatural power means multiple changes in events. He must consider all the situations before he can judge the result.

At first, Ranpo thought that Kudo and Haibara would become smaller because they were constrained by some kind of supernatural power, but when he saw the frequently changing positions of books in the study in the past six months, there were research materials on pathology and pharmacology, There are also files locked on the computer, so you can roughly guess the truth.

In other words, Kudou and Haibara had a problem with their bodies, and they concealed their identities. It's impossible for them to test a new type of cold medicine for themselves, right?

Kudo's parents are famous people. He was already a detective with a good relationship with the police, and now he lives in the Maori Detective Agency. He obviously has a lot of resources around him to ask for help, but he wants to hide his identity, obviously because he is afraid of being caught. That organization found out that killing and silence would implicate other innocent people.

It can be inferred from this that the organization is very powerful, at least the ordinary city police cannot solve it.

The most intuitive evidence is that there is now an FBI named Okiya Subaru living in Kudo House, who comes to Dr. Ali’s house every day to deliver health soup. It is purposeful at first glance, and Haibara’s strange attitude towards him, there are probably two people They were colleagues before—one was an undercover agent, and the other was a traitor to the organization.

"Where do I start?"

What troubles Luanbu is what ordinary people think is the simplest thing. In the past, his subordinates never asked him why, as long as he did what he said, he would never make a mistake, but now he has to explain simple math problems to mentally retarded people. The same step-by-step answer.

Conan was about to ask something, but Haibara stopped him.

She shook her head at Conan, her eyes were calm beyond her appearance.

Huiyuan suggested to Ranpo: "Since I don't know where to start, let's start with the organization. Mr. Ranpo, please tell us all the information you know. If you want to pay, I know that a newly opened A dim sum shop…”

She used honorifics and was very respectful.

Ranpo is used to this, he used to be like this when others asked him for something, and now his attitude towards Huiyuan is also very useful.

"Since you've said that, there's really nothing you can do about it!" Ranpo laughed, and said carefreely, "Let's regard it as Ranpo-sama's first consulting business as the world's No.1 detective!"

Ranpo, who claims to be the "No. 1 detective in the world", was not ridiculed by others this time. Both Haibara and Conan believed that he had real materials, and waited patiently for his reasoning show.

In the next half an hour, in the endless narration of Ranpo, the events that Conan had encountered were almost restored.

Out of curiosity and the adventurous spirit of a detective, he followed the suspicious man in black alone, broke through the deal of the black organization, and was forced to drink some kind of experimental drug.Due to the side effects of the drug, he did not die, but turned into a primary school student, hiding his name until now.

Immediately afterwards, Ranpo changed the subject to talk about Huiyuan's origin, and accurately pointed out that Huiyuan used to be a researcher of the organization, and because he confiscated his tail when he defected, he is still wanted by the organization.

Conan no longer wanted to ask how he knew it.

Just listening to Ranpo's narration, one would feel that this person seems to have a clairvoyance that sees through everything, which is unbelievably miraculous.But once I asked him about his reasoning process, while thinking "So that's how it is, it's too simple!" At the same time, I also questioned myself "Am I stupid? Why can't I even see this?" .

This not only requires a clear understanding of the surrounding things, but also requires rich imagination to construct the framework for the development of things.

After getting along during this period, even Conan can't deny that Edogawa Ranpo's thinking is definitely not something that ordinary people can keep up with, and his reasoning ability is definitely above him.

Although it is said that smart people love to compare each other, but only with Edogawa Ranpo, Conan has no desire to compete.This is not to say that he lacks the arrogance of a famous detective, but anyone standing in front of Edogawa Ranpo will have a sense of insignificance that cannot be compared.

When Ranpo began to analyze a series of elements that sounded very confidential, such as the structure of the black organization, the program of action, and the scope of activities, Conan finally couldn't help interrupting him: "Why do you know so clearly?"

"Huh? I don't know." Ranpo replied confidently, "It's all my reasoning, Master Ranpo's reasoning has never been missed!"

Compared with the black organization, the size of the port mafia is not small. It is not limited to Yokohama, but has a great voice in the entire Kanto. Judiciary, circulation, banking, urban construction, there are port mafia in all aspects The party's involvement and military strength are even comparable to state organs.

The port mafia can develop into a behemoth that can cause headaches for the prime minister and ministers. Among them, Luanbu's contribution is indispensable. He himself is a mafia cadre in control of one side, so he is naturally sensitive to "similar" smells.

"Although it's a transnational criminal organization, it doesn't have a bright face of the country at first glance. Probably half of the organization is undercover. The leader of the black organization should be a rich and powerful person, otherwise this useless waste organization cannot The business has not gone bankrupt yet." Luanbu said casually.

Conan always felt that there was a hint of disdain in Luanbu's tone, not like indignation and ridicule towards criminal organizations, but more like depreciation among peers who disliked each other?

...No, this must be an illusion.

Conan thought in a complicated mood.

If Conan can know the story of another world, of course he will understand Ranpo's mentality at this time.

Compared with the black organizations that are jointly wanted by the officials of various countries and everyone shouts and beats, the development path of the port mafia is different.

The Port Mafia has an opening license issued by the Ability Business Section, which is a legal "Mori Corporation" on the surface. Even if the government knows that this is a Mafia armed organization, it will not be able to do so for the sake of paying large amounts of taxes on time. I can only pinch my nose to recognize it.

Otherwise, what else can we do?

It’s not that he didn’t think about assassination, but the opponent’s martial arts faction has Nakahara Chuya as the leader, and there are also difficult characters such as "The Unintentional Dog" Akutagawa Ryunosuke, "White Death" Nakajima Atsushi, etc., which is not counted as the Black Lizard The mercenaries sent by all parties to assassinate the high-level mafia in the port never came back. In the end, no one dared to take up related tasks because of the high price on the black market.

As for Wendou?

What a joke!

The leader of the port mafia, Ogai Mori, is cunning and cunning. Just the cadre Osamu Dazai who comes out to negotiate with the government every day is enough for them to be bald, let alone Edogawa Ranpo who can see the truth at a glance. Sometimes the government even needs to spend money. Please ask Edogawa Ranpo to come forward as an external consultant to solve some incidents that cannot be solved by the government.

Whenever it is necessary to ask Edogawa Ranpo for help, the government can only pay out, while privately hating why Edogawa Ranpo was expelled from the police academy, if he could follow his father's path as a criminal police officer , the port mafia wouldn't be so arrogant anymore!

But everyone knows that there are no "ifs" in everything.

At this time, the cadre of the mafia at the port, who wanted wind and rain, was expressing his opinion to the elementary school student detective in another world: "If you want to catch the leader, it is recommended to start with drugs, money and power." Starting from the other side, involving the mafia and drug experiments, it should be an old man who is getting old and doesn't want to die..."

As he said that, Luanpo thought of the former leader of the port mafia, the old man who was crazy for power and did not hesitate to bring everything into the coffin.He still remembers the delirious leader of the past generation lying on the bed, talking about asking Mr. Sen to kill him, and insisting on letting the brains of the port mafia be buried with him before he died.

It's so annoying!

Who wants to die with a bad old man!

Thinking of the terrible picture, Luanbu couldn't help curling his lips in disgust, and his tone became impatient: "I don't understand what's going on here, this information is enough!"

Conan and Haibara looked at each other, and decided that enough was enough and they would not ask too many questions.

In fact, enough has been said about Luanbu.

If it wasn't that Luanbu was not familiar with this world, and didn't know anyone with a reputation, he would have directly reported the name of the leader of the black organization at the very beginning.

Even such vague information is amazing in the eyes of others. After all, Ranpo has never been out of the house in the study for the past two days, except for reading novels and eating snacks. How could he be able to roughly infer the origin of the black organization? Whether the situation is true or not is secondary.

Just when the two were about to exit the study, Luanbu suddenly asked, "By the way, why are there no books by Zhongyuan Zhongye here?"

"Central Plains Central?"

"Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Mori Ogai, Dazai Osamu... I have read all the novels here." Ranpo patted the thick stack of books on the right side, with a rare confusion on his face, "Why not?" See Nakahara Chuya's book? Others have published novels, so Nakahara Chuya should have his own works, isn't he writing books in this world?"

Why must Mr. Zhongyuan also have works when other literary giants have produced works?In other words, why is this guy also interested in literary works? He doesn't look like someone who can obediently read literature books.

Conan slandered in his heart, but recalled his literary knowledge, and answered tactfully: "Mr. Zhongyuan wrote poetry."

"Oh! No wonder..." Luan Bu was thoughtful.

"If you want a collection of poems, I'll buy one tomorrow."

"Okay."

After a while, Luanbu didn't know where he was going, and suddenly he grinned.

"Hat-kun is really cute!"
