i go my way

Because this is a public event, after the explosion in the bookstore, the criminal police quickly intervened in the investigation.

According to Edogawa, who was lying in the hospital, the bombs he saw were not made by hand, they were all professional-level bombs, and it was impossible for ordinary white-collar workers to make them by themselves.The bombs he found in the bookstore were all set to detonate at 11 o'clock, but it was obviously an hour before the detonation, or when the gangsters were caught by Akutagawa in Ayanokoji and Edogawa, they were unconscious. When he loses the hostage, there is no way out, so the explosives are detonated directly; or there are still people behind to monitor and manipulate.

For this, to find out the truth, this requires a thorough "information investigation" of the gangsters.

According to the police's investigation, this person's surname is Kijima and his name is Masahiro. He is a retired white-collar worker with the cleanest background. He was fired from a large company a few days ago.

Unemployed in the middle age, it is difficult to find another job, and I have reached the advanced stage of coronary heart disease. It is understandable that I am desperate and go astray.But the problem is that Masahiro Kijima has no personal grievances with the author Kindaichi, and their lives have nothing to do with each other. What must be related is that Masahiro Kijima bought Kindaichi's works.

When asked why Masahiro Kijima wanted to plant a bomb in the bookstore to kill Kazumi Kindaichi, Masahiro Kijima remained silent throughout the entire process, saying he had no comment.

Kijima also refrained from commenting on whether he had been ordered, blackmailed, intimidated, or made any deals.

Because Kijima Masahiro was also implicated in the whole explosion.At that time, the third floor was detonated first, and the rest of the building, including all the basic buildings within three meters around the bookstore, including cracked roads and collapsed street lamps, had it not been for Ryunosuke Akutagawa's ability to take them all away in one breath. If you leave the bookstore, you will no longer be able to see living people in the hospital ward, but in the morgue of the forensic department.

In this situation, the police can only conduct interrogation in the hospital, and the interrogation time should not be too long.

According to the police report, Masahiro Kijima seemed to be too calm. When he mentioned that the explosion caused by him caused serious injuries to many people and affected many passers-by, there was no guilt or uneasiness in his expression. Ecstatic and proud, calm as if listening to a story without any ups and downs.

When the police believed that he might be controlled by the ability, and he has not been released until now, the investigator of the Ability Secret Service Division who intervened also said that any inappropriateness was all placed by Masahiro Kijima himself, and When using the ability to test his clothes, the investigators did not find any problems. It can even be said that Masahiro Kijima himself has not contacted anyone since he lost his job, and has always been alone.

This matter has obviously fallen into an unsolved case, and when asked about Edogawa Ranpo, Edogawa Ranpo can only say that this was indeed done by Masahiro Kijima alone.

Therefore, the police finally decided to prosecute "Kijima Masahiro" on charges of attempted murder and illegal possession of gun barrel ammunition.Masahiro Kijima has no intention of raising any rebuttals.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka didn't have much interest in the public "truth". After taking a look at Edogawa Ranpo who was scratching his hair irritably for the results published in the newspaper next door, he continued to eat the fruit brought by Kiyotake and the others. , while reading the daily newspapers, from current affairs, to finance, to entertainment peripherals and word games in newspapers.

"Ayanokōji, I think there must be something wrong with this matter!"

This is what he has been chanting every day since he said "This is indeed what Masahiro Kijima did alone." Recently, Ayanokōji began to analyze the accent of each word he said. up.

"If Edogawa couldn't find the answer, it would be a "perfect crime". "Ayanokoji said without raising her head.

"With such a convenient ability, we detectives will have nowhere to go." Edogawa Ranpo said dissatisfiedly, "Our detective agency will close down, and Ranpo-sama will starve to death on the street, and no one will care. "Edogawa Ranpo looked at Ayanokōji Kiyotaka while screaming.

"Ayanokoji."

"Yeah." Ayanokōji turned over a page of the newspaper.

"Don't you like to say famous sayings, say a few words to make me happy and cheer me up."

"You mean, through "verbal expression" your brain produces dopamine, a neurotransmitter that brings energy and motivation?In fact, I think the same effect can be achieved simply by letting you eat a few more chocolates. "Ayanokōji continued to look at it without raising her head.

"You are so boring." Edogawa Ranpo frowned at Ayanokouji, and found that Ayanokouji just didn't look at him, so he continued to roll on the hospital bed, "Ayanokouji is so boring, so boring, Ranpo-sama is also confused So boring, so boring, so boring!"

Ayanokōji still stood my ground.

At this moment, Ryunosuke Akutagawa stopped at the door of the ward, and cast a cold gaze at Edogawa who was rolling on the bed.Edogawa paused for a moment, then covered his head with a quilt.Ayanokouji didn't know what Edogawa was doing, so he glanced at Edogawa before looking up at Akutagawa.

Akutagawa was also wounded.Because he was also in the bookstore that exploded at that time, and while protecting himself with the "Rashomon", he was also rescuing Ayanokouji and Edogawa.However, compared with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Edogawa Ranpo, and Kijima Masahiro who were directly hospitalized, Akutagawa was farther away from the aftermath of the explosion at that time, and Rashomon was also protecting his whole body, so his injuries were relatively minor and did not hinder his actions at all.

He was very dissatisfied with Edogawa's reckless blocking of the stairs and provoking Kijima Masahiro to detonate the bomb.But Ayanokōji spoke for Edogawa who was hiding behind him, saying that there must be a reason for Edogawa to do that.

Edogawa Ranpo must have swooped down from the stairs in order to disrupt the gangster's rhythm.And in fact, if there hadn't been a sudden explosion, Rashomon had just separated them from Kijima at that time, and Rashomon even took the brown medicine bottle that fell out of Kijima's pocket.

Everything went very well.

But the bomb on the third floor exploded suddenly.

As a result, Akutagawa's offensive behavior against Edogawa Ranpo from time to time finally became a routine of "as soon as he enters the ward, he throws a knife in the eye".

"Any new information?"

Although the police made public about the explosion, Ayanokōji felt that there were too many doubts in this matter, and entrusted Akutagawa to use the time after work to investigate in his own way.

Akutagawa shook his head.

Ayanokouji thought this was expected, so he didn't pursue it too much, and said, "Then what about the person I asked you to investigate later?"

"I didn't find it either."

"Forget it then." Ayanokouji stopped pressing.

Akutagawa saw that more than half of his apple was left, so he took a chair and sat down by himself, and said, "Have they come to see you?"

"Yes, Qingwu and the others just left for 10 minutes, and helped me change the medicine on my back."

Before the explosion on the third floor, although the Rashomon of Akutagawa was protecting them, the Rashomon at that time was just supporting them. When the heat wave hit, Ayanokōji and Edogawa faced the aftermath of the explosion. It became the human shield of Masahiro Kijima behind them.After a second or two of delay in reaction, Rashomon wrapped them up completely and led them out of the bookstore.

"Did the doctor say when you can leave the hospital?"

"About another month." Ayanokōji wrote lightly.Because the explosion was from top to bottom, the ceiling also collapsed at that time, smashing Ayanokouji's back.

"What about the one next door?" Akutagawa didn't even bother to call the name.

"Edogawa will be discharged from the hospital in one week."

Akutagawa nodded: "Very good."

Edogawa ran out of dissatisfaction from under the quilt with a dissatisfied "tch--", seeing Akutagawa glanced over, he immediately shrank back under the quilt.

"If you hadn't protected the person lying on the next bed back then, you wouldn't have had your back smashed too." Akutagawa didn't know why Ayanokōji knew Edogawa Ranpo at first.It was Hirotsu Yanagi who said that Ayanokoji had saved the little detective in Ikebukuro, so he had a clear impression of Edogawa.After all, the bad rumors about Ayanokouji after he returned from Ikebukuro were also related to this person.

This person must have known that Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was a bully, so he had been relying on him.

Seeing Edogawa Ranpo's virtue, Akutagawa must be the one who pestered Ayanokouji to take him to eat, drink and have fun in Ikebukuro after Ayanokoji rescued him.Remembering that Akutagawa had specifically mentioned Ayanokouji to work hard for this matter, Akutagawa is a little regretful now.

Akutagawa recalled it.

At that time, Ayanokōji had just returned from Ikebukuro, and they were reading in a bookstore together.At that time, Ayanokoji was still in a good mood when he saw Akutagawa.But Akutagawa felt a little dissatisfied after hearing his colleagues gossip, and brought this emotion to Ayanokouji.

"I heard from others that you have been eating, drinking and having fun with public funds in Ikebukuro?"

"Who do you mean when you say someone else?"

"You tell me, it's enough if you're serious about what you're doing."

"In the name of Dazai-san, I promise that I am doing things seriously."

.........

Akutagawa felt that giving Ayanokouji immediate trust was the right thing he did at that time, otherwise Ayanokouji would have been wronged.

Now that he has gotten to know Ranpo Edogawa, Akutagawa knows that he must not doubt Ayanokouji Kiyotaka so casually anymore.

Ayanokouji was not someone who made mistakes.

If he really made a mistake, he was definitely influenced by others.After all, Ayanokōji always looks cold on the surface, but his character is too easy to indulge others.

Everyone who appeared by his side should go through strict scrutiny.

When Akutagawa was still thinking about how to drive Edogawa Ranpo out of Ayanokoji's life, Akutagawa's words brought his mind back to reality.

"I didn't say it last time. Your ability has improved to a higher level, congratulations." Ayanokōji still remembers the moment when Akutagawa used the "Rashomon" to support them in the bookstore, as if he had grasped Akutagawa's soft side.

However, Akutagawa does not fully recognize this ability to "protect others", and feels that this ability is completely different from his image.But fortunately at that time, this ability was able to protect Ayanokouji in time.

"That was a one-second miracle, and it won't happen again in the future."

Ayanokōji was attracted by the "Rashomon" behind the calm-faced Akutagawa, who opened his teeth and danced his claws like a fierce three-headed dog from hell. It seemed that if he said one more word, "Rashomon" would tear him apart.

So Ayanokōji took a bite of the apple and said, "I see."

From the time when "Rashomon" wrapped Ayanokoji and Edogawa Ranpo from the impact, to "Rashomon" took them away from the explosion site, this second is really long.

Advance can attack, retreat can defend.Why doesn't such a combination of offense and defense continue to develop in a balanced way?Maybe it's restricted?Haven't been able to practice yet?

After all, if it can be called a "miracle", Akutagawa still likes that ability very much.

Ayanokouji didn't ask anything.

And Akutagawa leaned on the back of the chair to read the newspaper, and didn't leave until Ayanokōji finished eating and helped clean up the garbage.
