Hong Kong and Black Undercover Ayanokoji's Handbook of Tool Man

bargain later

"Um, so, are you still a student? We don't want short-term workers."

The boss looked at the neatly written resume, then looked at the overly quiet young man in front of him, and looked him up and down. Although he was a little thinner, he still had some muscles in his arms, and he didn't look like a pampered person.

"Now in the work-study program."

The young man's voice was quiet and indifferent, if one had to stare at his face and watch his mouth shape, it would be difficult to hear what he was saying clearly.

The boss gave a "hmm" and continued: "Try for a week first, 800 yen an hour, if you become a regular employee, 1000 yen an hour, and you will get a salary increase if you do well. The delivery time is 6 am. You have to go to the newspaper office to pick it up, and after you pick it up, you have to finish work within three hours. Is there any problem?"

The boy pondered for a while, and realized that he didn't know what question to ask, so he said directly: "No."

"Well, you are in charge of the location of the port area. The nearby Butei Club had better wait until the last delivery. No matter how far you go around, this must be the last delivery." The boss reminded, "They don't go to work until nine o'clock."

"...??"

"The Buteisha has many enemies, but some people dare not provoke the Buteisha, so they will provoke them during the time when they are not working or when there are few people. If you bump into a gangster with a gun, wouldn't you Too dangerous."

"Ah."

It is also reasonable for him to say this. Ordinary people are not so much avoiders as they are more inclined to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"The newspaper office is equipped with mopeds. You can ride it and go to work tomorrow." The boss pointed to a row of keys hanging on the wall and said, "You will always get the No. 5 key from now on, don't mess with others. .Although hard hats are provided, if you mind being used many times, I suggest you buy one yourself, and it is also sold in nearby tool stores.”

"it is good."

After a simple answer, the brown-haired boy went to work smoothly at six o'clock the next day.While driving a motorcycle to deliver newspapers to every house in the community, the teenager found two young people standing next to his motorcycle.The two looked around, as if they were looking for the owner of the car.

"...May I ask what's wrong?"

"We are in a hurry, little brother, can I borrow your motorcycle?" The young man in glasses with sandy hair said hurriedly, "We are from Buteisha, my name is Kunikida Doppo, this is our Detective Edogawa Ranpo. If I don’t return your car, you can go directly to the detective agency to find us.”

The young man standing aside and being called yawned.

"There is a temporary case, very urgent! Trouble!"

Even if the brown-haired boy who is a good young man in society knows that they must be in some trouble and can't even find a taxi, he asks himself for help temporarily. Maybe the official car will be scrapped in a second when he borrows it out. , but this does not prevent him from doing good deeds.

"Of course, but you have to give me your ID."

Kunikida, who hadn't thought of this at all, was slightly taken aback, so he left his driver's license with him.Kunikida kept an eye out for himself and said, "Then can I ask for your name?"

"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka." Ayanokouji handed the key to the other party while taking Kunikida's driver's license, "I'm from Haminin Publishing House."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ranpo Edogawa approached Ayanokōji like a puppy getting to know a stranger, and said, "You're a little busy changing jobs."

"Do you know him?" Kunikida Doppo asked curiously. He had heard about Edogawa's ability not long after he joined Buteisha, but he was not used to it.

"A few days ago, when I got the "Japan's No. [-] Detective", he was entrusted to send flowers. "Edogawa Ranpo rested his arm on his pillow, he was talking to Kunikida all the time, but he always looked in Ayanokōji's direction from the corner of his eye, and said.

Seeing that Edogawa Ranpo seemed to want to talk to him, Ayanokōji said slowly, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

"Correct."

Kunikida quickly picked up Edogawa Ranpo, and when he took the key and plugged it into the keyhole of the motorcycle, a black giant blade made of clothes cut the motorcycle they were in in half with lightning speed. As soon as the oil, fire and electric stars came into contact in the air, a huge explosion was instantly triggered.

Ayanokōji and the black-haired young man in black on the opposite side looked at each other in blank dismay.

"……………………"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke never thought that he would meet his book friend on such an occasion, before the other side saw him clearly, Akutagawa subconsciously covered his face with his raised neckline.

When Ayanokōji saw him covering his face suddenly, he was still analyzing whether he was choked by the thick smoke, so Kunikida picked him up with the other hand and ran towards the alleyway.Kunikida saw Ayanokōji kept looking in the direction of the car, and comforted him while running: "For motorcycles, I will pay you back after returning to the Butei Club. It's important that we run for our lives first."

"That's troublesome."

Because the old employees of the newspaper office took up the good cars, the No. [-] car left behind actually had engine problems, and oil leakage would occur after a long ride, so Ayanokōji was also thinking about how to change to a new car.

Ayanokouji just finished speaking and found

Edogawa Ranpo kept staring at him, following his line of sight, Ayanokōji saw his silver whistle falling out of his neckline.Before he stopped, Edogawa Ranpo reached out and grabbed the whistle.

"I think I used to have one too, but I accidentally lost it."

"is it?"

"Give this to me. I know that you gave me that bunch of peach blossoms. Anyway, you are a fan of my Lord Ranpo, so it's okay to give me a whistle, right?!"

Peach Blossom means "No. [-] in the world" in Japanese.

When he was in the hospital, when Edogawa Ranpo was irritated by the unclear Kijima Masahiro incident, he asked Ayanokouji to say a few famous words to make him happy and cheer him up.

At that time, it was "No. [-]" who replaced Ayanokoji, and said, "Do you mean that through "verbal expression" your brain can produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter that can bring energy and motivation? "Actually, Edogawa Ranpo's implication was that he wanted Ayanokouji to coax him.At that time, Ayanokōji sent messages through electromagnetic waves, and thought about sending him flowers next time, but too many things happened afterwards, so he didn't give him a gift in the end.

Later, when he heard that he was in the newspaper, Ayanokōji pretended to be a delivery man and delivered a bunch of peach blossom branches to Edogawa of Buteisha.

Ayanokōji said in a clear voice, "If you want it, I'll give it to you."

"Wow——" Edogawa Ranpo didn't know what he was happy about, whether he got a gift from someone else, or the little fan really liked him and gave him whatever he wanted, or he had a silver whistle.

Before he finished his fun, Ayanokoji asked the price expressionlessly, "500 yen each."

Edogawa Ranpo's expression froze for an instant, and the next second he whistled and said, "No, you must send me off!"

"500 yen is not expensive for you."

"I don't care!!!! You don't deserve to be my fan."

"I didn't say I was your fan."

"No, why did you give me peach blossoms!! You are duplicity, you admit it quickly! Under Ranpo-sama's judgment, there is absolutely nothing wrong!"

"Okay, [-]% off then." Ayanokōji gave in.

"free."

"Does your Butei club always bargain like this? [-]% off, nothing less."

Kunikida was overwhelmed by the sudden quarrel between the two behind him.

"Both of you are dying!!! cheer me up, can you stop chatting!!!"

With the number one evil god of Hong Kong gangsters Akutagawa Ryunosuke chasing after him, how can you chat so slowly? Hey!

Kunikida yelled at the sky.

But after running for a long time, why hasn't Akutagawa caught up?

Did you get called away temporarily?

do not care!
