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

Chapter 47 Act 03 The Disaster of a Detective

Ok……

How does Ayanokoji feel to Edogawa Ranpo?

It was as if wherever he could see, the world should have been illuminated by the sun, but a corner of darkness suddenly appeared. This black corner made him unable to see clearly what was inside. He poked his head inside and saw If you can't reach it, you can touch it again, but you still can't touch it. In the end, you can only walk in by yourself.

Because it is a personal interest, and Fukuzawa is busy, Edogawa Ranpo decided to go to the association with an invitation letter alone.However, various personal reasons such as getting lost and losing his wallet appeared in the middle, and Edogawa Ranpo unfortunately changed from the role of guest to the role of performer.But no matter what, he found Ayanokōji Kiyotaka.Moreover, as described in the email, he managed to attract Ayanokouji's attention, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka would definitely take him with him.

"Because the reasoning ability of the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo is famous in Japan, everyone wants to rely on you."

The sender seemed to know Edogawa's character very well, and he praised it just right.Anyway, when he saw this sentence, if Edogawa Ranpo had a tail, he would have swayed it from side to side reservedly and confidently.

"However, you must pay attention to Ayanokouji. Don't let him find out that you reported Yagiri Pharmaceutical. In this way, not only will you not be able to get in touch with Ayanokouji, you may even die."

How could such a thing happen to the wise Ranpo-sama?

Edogawa was thinking about it with complacency.

However, what I didn't expect was that Ayanokōji had contacted the police on the first day in Ikebukuro, and talked about it on the way back.Ayanokōji, who was usually not very good at expressing his thoughts, leaned to the outside and watched with his mobile phone, suddenly spoke to him.

Edogawa Ranpo's scalp tightened instantly.

Is there anyone who has escaped the meeting with the police and is still alone for interrogation?

Didn't you say yes, my ability is only used to help him detect lies?

He pretended that he didn't know anything, and hid in a corner to eat ice cream.

"Now that the public security has involved Yagiri Pharmaceutical, the one who gets the benefits is definitely not the pre-acquirer. Who exactly reported Yagiri Pharmaceutical just at this time?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka seemed to be talking to himself, but after speaking, he turned Overhead eyes fell on Edogawa Ranpo.

Edogawa Ranpo's throat seemed to be stuffed with something, his eyes wandered for half a second, and he immediately lowered his head and handed a large stack of leaflets prepared in his backpack to Ayanokōji, forcefully changing the subject.

"Which one do you like here, you can take a good look." Edogawa Ranpo was so nervous for the first time, for fear that Ayanokōji would find out that there was something wrong with him, and he only remembered that he spoke quickly.After speaking, Edogawa Ranpo looked at Ayanokouji expectantly.

There is nothing more tempting than delicious food!

Edogawa tried to convey the message with his eyes, then Ayanokōji looked at the leaflet, Edogawa Ranpo found that he hadn't read a few pages at all, and heard him say: "I'm not in the mood to eat ramen now. I want to eat Sushi."

Ahhhhh, hooked! Hooked!

Edogawa Ranpo began to think about how to continue the conversation in his head. He had to follow his usual state, and it was absolutely impossible to say "well, I can only eat it", and had to refuse once.

With determination, Edogawa Ranpo lowered his voice and said, "But I want to eat ramen..."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Xiaolu immediately said: "Then let's go back and cook by ourselves, and you have to use your morning bowl."

Speaking of the bowls in the morning, Edogawa Ranpo's expression turned ugly for a moment. God knows that since he broke more than five sets of tableware from the president, he has never washed the dishes again.But after thinking about it, what Ayanokōji said like this also means that the topic between them has been skipped, and they don't need to talk about Yagiri Pharmaceutical, the public security, or the purpose.

So Edogawa Qing coughed, and said pretendingly: "Then I will forcefully accompany you to eat sushi."

Ayanokōji picked up his cell phone again, leaned against the other side of the chair, touched his ears, and looked at the contents of the cell phone.Ayanokouji is very quiet, this kind of quietness reminds him of indoor green leaves, and his sense of presence is extremely low, and it will never make people think that he needs to pay special attention to him.

Unless, he is special.

It was the first time for Edogawa to see such a person who couldn't see through.

No matter who they are, they have their own speaking habits or behavioral preferences. Based on this, we can speculate what this person did before and where he came from.For example, if people from the north, they speak a little faster than ordinary people.However, Edogawa Rampo discovered that Ayanokouji was a person who imitated others unconsciously or subconsciously.When facing different people, his reaction will be subtly different, and even the way of gait will change.It's a bit like a mirror, Ayanokōji is the person inside the mirror, according to the reaction of the person outside the mirror, he also reacts in the same way, although sometimes he himself doesn't understand what it means.

This makes Edogawa Rampo think of "mimicry", like an inchworm hiding itself and allowing predators to confuse it with a branch to avoid being prey.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't know if it was because he had such a power, or if he did it consciously.

If it's the former, then this also explains why he can't be penetrated by people, but if it's the latter, is he avoiding someone?But he also knew that Ayanokōji had no supernatural powers, but the latter's thoughts made Edogawa Ranpo feel amazing and curious.

Once during a meal, Ayanokōji poured a glass of water for Edogawa.

When the water is halfway poured, Ayanokōji will pause halfway, then look at Edogawa Ranpo, and then refill it.These are very small movements, and ordinary people would not pay attention to this half-second pause, but Edogawa Ranpo knew that it was the movement of the person next to him who had just healed a broken arm and poured water.Because he has just been cured, the weight-bearing strength of his hands is still weak, so he needs to stop halfway and take a rest.

Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help but blurted out, "Ayanokōji, what are you learning?"

He is not an actor, what to do to imitate other people's movements, and, only when the movements are done, nothing else is in place, so it looks particularly abrupt.

"what?"

"That's it—" Edogawa Ranbu took out the water glass next to him, poured water like Ayanokoji, filled it halfway, stopped for a while, then filled it up, raised his jaw and said, "Here, this is it."

"You spilled water, wipe it up."

Ayanokouji handed him the tissue box.

Ranpo Edogawa had to pull out a facial tissue, wiped it and said: "Sometimes, I think you look like a student who is dedicated to studying, and sometimes I think you are like a policeman who is on TV, but nothing is right, Sometimes it’s like a musician. Do you really know how to play the piano, right? Or is this also an imitation? I’ve learned too much, which one is you? From the way you speak, the content of your speech, the habit of looking at others, raising your hand The movements, the arc of nodding, etc. are all pieced together everywhere, are you still Ayanokōji in the end?"

"Is it like the Theseus paradox?"

"what is that?"

This point has Ayanokoji's style, that is, magical sentences and vocabulary often appear, and of course they are also other people's words.

"Plutarch asked the question, If the parts and wood of Theseus' ship were continually replaced with new ones, until the last parts were not the original parts, and the last wood were not the original wood, would the ship Is it still the same ship?"

"..." Edogawa didn't understand, "This is so boring, do we have to worry about the boat? I'm talking about you, you are not a boat."

"For another example, the cells of the human body will metabolize, but the time and interval are different. According to scientific research, it takes seven years for all cells to be different from the past. So, is the person seven years ago still the person seven years later?"

"…………identical."

"So, from the scientific level of physiology, you don't deny that people are different from before. Why do you think that after I just learned other things, I am no longer Ayanokōji?"

"Anyway, I don't think I know you." Edogawa Ranpo still insisted on his point of view, "Look, you are the Ayanokouji I know now, if you learn a lot and change, you won't be known by me Ayanokouji. Then it will be very troublesome for me to adapt. I think you are fine now and don’t need to change.”

Ayanokōji was silent for a while, and finally said: "I see."

On a certain level, Edogawa Ranpo feels that Ayanokouji is an unusually obedient person because he listens to others.

Are all the people from Academy City so obedient?

Is it just getting used to obeying orders?

Should not be.

As stated in the email, Ayanokouji will take a fancy to Edogawa's ability, so no matter what happens, Ayanokouji will hope that Edogawa will accept him.Under this premise, just like Ayanokouji will not harm Edogawa Ranpo, just like Edogawa can eat whatever he wants, Ayanokouji will rarely raise objections.And at this moment, it was only natural that Ayanokouji would follow his own advice.

What's more, Edogawa Ranpo felt from the first meeting that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji was calm and calm, and there was a rebellion that would definitely surprise people hidden under the surface of not caring about anything.This rebellion made him walk on the side of the cliff, even if his body was smashed to pieces, he would never look back and move forward.

Therefore, Edogawa Ranpo felt that Ayanokouji must be working hard to get his approval, and he was very safe by his side.

But here comes the problem, Edogawa Ranpo was sent to school by Ayanokoji, and it was stated clearly that he was going to search for information, but in fact Edogawa Ranpo was very smart, knowing that Ayanokouji must have other plans.After all, since Ayanokōji believed in his ability, he would naturally know that he could find out all the information he wanted in less than an hour, so why did he arrange for himself to go to the school to study?

Then there is only one answer, Ayanokoji wants to arrange some accidents for him, or wait for Edogawa to have an accident himself, and ask him to ask Ayanokoji for help.

Edogawa thought about it, and felt that Ayanokouji was very troublesome.

Edogawa felt that it would be troublesome to accommodate Ayanokouji.

If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't find out what his background was for the time being, and that he was so rich that he could eat whatever he wanted, Edogawa Ranpo would have resisted, and he would have resisted decisively and actively.

So on the first day of enrollment, Edogawa Ranpo found the nearest online chat partner of Ayanokouji in the school.

Because Ayanokōji is investigating the matter of Yagiri Pharmaceutical recently, and there is a man named Yagiri Seiji in Yagiri Pharmaceutical, who is in the first year of high school in Railiang Academy.All in all, it's a good guess for Edogawa.Especially when he said his name, the other party showed a surprised look, and Edogawa immediately confirmed it.

When Edogawa was out of class, he trapped Teijin Ryunomine, whose online name was "Taro Tanaka", in the gymnasium.

"Do you understand, what is beating?" Edogawa went straight in with random steps.

Emperor Longzhifeng who suddenly heard this question felt a little scared and couldn't help taking a step back.

His experience of meeting netizens offline may cast a shadow from now on.

But Edogawa Ranpo doesn't care about him.

"You punch me."

Edogawa closed his eyes tightly.After waiting for half a second, he let out another breath and made up his mind.

"Take it easy, I'm afraid of pain."

Emperor Longzhifeng: "..."

I want to go, can I?
