Lost Lord Ranbu

As a highly curious high school student detective, Kudo Shinichi and the elementary school student detective who now uses the pseudonym Edogawa Conan in order to avoid being hunted down have encountered quite a few accidents, such as an accident in an amusement park during a date. Breaking through the deal of the Black Organization, such as being kidnapped by the Kaitou Kidd and smuggling to Singapore, or...

A dark car stopped in front of his house.

A black car parked on the side of the road may not be noticeable, but this car is bulletproof and has black film on the windows that obstructs the view, which is unusual.

"A car I've never seen before, can't I find my way?" Dr. A Li slowed down the car and rolled down the window.He was going to say hello to the black car so they could clear the turn so he could dump his beloved Beetle into the garage.

"Wait, doctor!"

Conan subconsciously stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Dr. Ali asked in surprise.

Different from Conan's nervousness, Haibara glanced at the license plate number, and analyzed very calmly: "It's a Yokohama car. I haven't seen it before. It should have nothing to do with the organization."

When Haibara Ai was still working for the Black Organization, he knew that Yokohama was a place where the organization could not intervene. The free port was mixed with dragon fish, and the people of Yokohama were all foreign, so it was difficult for external forces to intervene.No one from the organization came from Yokohama, and no one was permanently stationed in Yokohama. She didn't know if the organization had done business in Yokohama, but it was obviously impossible for them to appear here openly in such a car.

"It's because it's a Yokohama car that you need to pay more attention." Conan leaned on the window and glanced at him. He was worried that the other party would observe him, and lowered his body cautiously, urging Dr. Ali, "Doctor, don't stop, drive forward. Just pretend you didn’t see it, pretending to be a passerby—”

"It's too late." Hui Yuanai interrupted him.

The door of the black car opened.

A young man in a black coat jumped out of the car youthfully, with a familiar smile on his face, waved at Dr. Ali's yellow beetle, and greeted Dr. A Li happily.

Conan's face turned pale.

Sure enough, this guy!

At the beginning, when Conan was investigating the murder case of a female student, he met Ranpo who was regarded by the murderer as the next victim.

Conan learned from Xiaolan that Ranpo helped her in the station bombing, so Conan didn't have much hostility towards Ranpo.Because Ranpo accidentally revealed his identity, he thought of an excuse to fool Xiaolan in desperation, and finally Conan had to take back Ranpo of unknown origin.

Originally, Conan thought he was just taking in a lost genius, but he didn't expect that in the toilet murder case that he encountered later, Ranpo saw the truth one step ahead of him.However, he did not inform the police of these things, nor did he dissuade the murderer Puchuan Qinai from stopping his actions. Instead, he assisted Puchuan to execute her enemy, the three criminals in the bank robbery who killed Puchuan's boyfriend.

Later, when Pu Chuan recorded his statement, he insisted that "Edogawa Ranpo" had cracked the case and confessed to his criminal behavior, but he kept silent about other things, which seemed to be broken. in.

In this case, Edogawa Ranpo's behavior was really suspicious, but due to the fact that Pu Chuan bit him to death, the police could not prosecute Edogawa Ranpo for instigating a crime.After that, Edogawa Ranpo never appeared again, and they had no way of corroborating it, so they had to let it go.

The police have closed the case, but Conan can't pretend nothing happened.

He couldn't understand what Ranbu had done in the case, he had clearly sensed Pu Chuan's intentions, but he still pushed people into the abyss instead of thinking about how to make Pu Chuan turn around.

Conan also saw the scene when Ranpo left. A young man in a hat driving a motorcycle suddenly appeared, and his cold eyes passed over him and Toru Amuro, as if nothing had happened, and disappeared into their world together with Ranpo.

No matter how Conan searched, he couldn't find the traces of these two people, and it was Dr. Ari who saw them last.

I learned from Dr. Ali that the orange-haired young man in the hat is named "Nakahara Chuya", and Ranpo is named "Edogawa Ranpo".If it may be a coincidence that one person is named after a literary giant, what about two people?

——Most likely a code name.

The code names of the two are both the names of literary giants, and they are both dressed in expensive black clothes. They also introduced that they are from Yokohama, they are "colleagues" to each other, and they are "cadres" in the company.

It would not be a simple matter to connect these pieces of information together, so Conan couldn't use "harmless" to describe Ranpo at all.

Edogawa Rampo has eyes that see through everything, but he may be an enemy standing on the opposite side-this perception is already terrifying, just thinking about it is creepy, and even has an irresistible fear.

Originally, after a while, Conan had forgotten the feeling of facing an enemy, but now the young man who brought him a shadow appeared again.

"It turned out to be random steps!" A Li showed a surprised expression.

Before Conan had time to tell him his guess, Dr. Ali welcomed Ranpo's arrival.

"Hi, Doctor, long time no see." The young man with black hair and green eyes walked to the side of the car, paused slightly, and muttered in a voice that other people couldn't hear, "For you."

"It's been a long time." Dr. A Li couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Luanbu looked at Conan in the passenger seat, showing a surprised expression: "Kudo, why haven't you grown taller yet?"

Conan: "..."

The flow of time in different worlds is different, and when the worlds merge, they are all integrated together, and this error will be corrected by the suppression force.

Before Luanbu came here, he paid special attention to the time difference. It can be inferred that several years have passed in Dr. Ali's world, so he said "long time no see".But when he saw Conan, he still couldn't help doubting his deduction—why Kudo didn't grow taller at all, he was still a primary school student!

"Are you still in the first grade of elementary school?" Luan Bu asked.

Conan felt that his question was really rude, but considering Ranpo's past style, it seemed that he could not ask him to greet like ordinary people, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, the second semester."

Ranpo nodded, convinced that this was a loophole after the suppression was corrected, not a mistake in his reasoning.

"Ranbu, is this your friend?" Dr. Ali noticed a man and a woman who got out of the car with Ranbu.

The woman was wearing a classic cherry blossom kimono, and the other man was wearing a retro cloak coat. The two men had completely different styles, but their behaviors were equally elegant and casual. They stood far away and did not come to disturb Ranpo's conversation mean.

Luanbu replied generously: "They are accompanying me to work."

"It turned out to be a business trip." Dr. A Li suddenly realized.

Luanbu: "If you pass by here, let's stop by and have a look."

Conan didn't speak, behind the lens was a pair of half-moon arc eyes revealing speechlessness, he thought to himself: I believe you ghost, the black car has been parked at the door for at least 10 minutes, obviously it came prepared.

Not as optimistic as the doctor, Conan asked him straightforwardly: "What are you here for?"

"Come to work, I told you."

"What job?"

"Can't you see it? Kudo." Ranpo once again looked at him with surprised eyes, thinking that the other party was asking knowingly.

"..."

Conan took a deep breath.

Conan could indeed reason it out, and Edogawa Ranpo didn't make any cover-ups at all, he was so calm from the beginning to the end.But Conan is still unwilling to admit this result - Edogawa Ranpo is a senior cadre of an organization, responsible for advising the organization's actions, just like Moriarty.

The keyword "Yokohama" flashed before Conan's eyes.

...That's right, Yokohama!

Haibara said that the black organization cannot intervene in Yokohama because the people of Yokohama are extremely xenophobic. Forces outside the rules are not allowed to appear.

Edogawa Ranpo should be at the top of Yokohama's forces, or in other words, he is the rule maker of Yokohama (ruler).

So what kind of organization is Edogawa Ranpo's organization?

A transnational criminal organization like the Black Organization?

Is there any cooperation between them?

Countless questions rolled through Conan's mind, but he couldn't get an accurate answer.He looked at Ranpo in amazement, not knowing for a moment whether the "work" that Ranpo mentioned was a kind of premeditated crime.

As if seeing what he was thinking, Luanbu interrupted Conan's unrealistic thoughts, and introduced to Conan and others in the most direct and surprising way: "We are the port mafia."

Dr. A Li was taken aback, and subconsciously repeated: "The port mafia?"

He really couldn't imagine the childish chaos and a mafia organization together, just like the self-disciplined student president in the school would go to the maid cafe to work as a maid after school. When he suddenly learned of this, no one could contact him immediately. stand up.

Ranpo said proudly: "It is the largest mafia organization in Yokohama. It is a legal association approved by the government, and it also holds a license to open a business with supernatural abilities issued by the Supernatural Secret Service Division. If you introduce it like this, can you understand?"

Dr. A Li thought for a while, and then showed a sudden expression: "Oh! I see."

The mafia, also known as maffia, first appeared in Sicily, Italy.After a girl was raped by French soldiers on her wedding day, the people of Sicily revolted spontaneously and began to launch crazy revenge on the French. The word maffia is an acronym for the Italian word "Elimination of France is the desire of Italy", and it is an organization formed by the people to protect the land.

This seems to be somewhat different from the "underworld" in Japan.

Ranpo said that he was a "mafia" instead of a "gangster", obviously it was not a simple misnomer.

With the performance of chaotic steps and well-behaved, Dr. Ali easily convinced himself by virtue of his own knowledge.He was not frightened by Ranpo's self-introduction, but instead asked in a friendly voice: "Is the Port Mafia a local self-defense organization in Yokohama?"

"Yes!" Ranpo said happily, "Master Ranpo saved Yokohama again not long ago, at least 370 million people were helped—no, this number must be multiplied by two. In other words, saving the world is still a job. It's tiring!"

Conan: "..."

Not at all!

What world is the mafia saving! !

Dr. Ali, don't be led away by this guy's topic! ! !
