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

After so much tossing with Edogawa Ranpo, there were still two hours, but I was squeezed to only 10 minutes. In addition, I had to take a car to send Edogawa back to the detective agency.If there is a chance next time, I should mention it to their president - arrange a bodyguard for Edogawa Ranpo, so that he won't get lost, won't be abducted, and won't be beaten.

After getting out of the car, Edogawa jumped up and down, without looking back, and ran away very easily.

Because he ate two boxes of puffs and a cake just now, and he still had a faint vanilla creamy smell on his body, I gave him a piece of mint to suppress the smell, and by the way, I gave him some ventilation when I was in the car.Before getting out of the car, he also asked me to smell him to make sure he was fine so as not to be discovered by the president.

A set of anti-reconnaissance procedures was done seamlessly, so Edogawa was very happy.

Later, I heard that he was still caught, because President Fukuzawa saw my car from the window to deliver Edogawa Ranpo, and also saw the roses in the bag.In order to prevent the president from thinking that he was adopted by a rich woman in Yokohama, he sold me out.Although it was betrayed, the middle process seems to have experienced a very fierce struggle.

According to Edogawa's description, that is enough to surpass the limit of life and death.

In fact, I don't think it matters, but I was lucky enough to meet Fukuzawa Yukichi later. He said that he just asked "Where are the flowers?", and Edogawa recruited him.

... Edogawa Rampo is very bad.

The Hong Kong and Black Headquarters Building is located in the bustling area. As one of the landmarks of Yokohama, it is probably the only place where no one dares to bring a camera to take pictures.Because of the death of Secretary Fusu, Chief Mori took advantage of the opportunity to change his office. It is also on the top floor, with a similar layout, but you can see the scenery of Yokohama from different angles.

This does not mean that his office was changed to another office facing north or south in the same building, but that he went directly to another building.

The so-called Hong Kong and Black Headquarters Building is just a general term, and it actually includes five buildings of equal height.In order to make a good distinction, we directly refer to Building No. 1, Building No. 2, Building No. 3, etc. internally.I agree that architecture is an important way to turn "order" and "existence" into spatial forms, but what is the significance of the five buildings?Hong Kong black is rich?

"Actually, a worker who checks electricity meters can overwhelm the people in our Hong Kong black finance department."

Of course, this is a wisecrack of the accountants in the finance department, but it is enough to show that the money spent on raising these five buildings is quite considerable.

However, my doubts about this are only for a moment,

However, after seeing my expression, Mori Ogai sat in the glass-walled elevator and said: "In fact, when Hong Kong Hei took over from the previous leader, it was in a state of serious losses. Survive, even if you have made many enemies, you can try your best to survive until now."

"According to Mr. Hirotsu, because you can't pay back some of them, you concentrated your firepower to eradicate the creditors, and only then did you make enemies..."

Mori Ogai's eyes contained regret and sentimentality, and he interrupted directly: "So, you understand how difficult it is for us, don't you?"

Do not understand.

He can directly say that these five buildings were built by the former chiefs at will, relying on his own preferences, and finally became the symbolic buildings of Hong Kong black, which is enough to make people dread.But to be honest, there is no need to talk about such a twist.

But I still insisted: "Understood."

Because I know our leader is a bumbling fox.

Mori Ogai also likes to ask me some strange questions.

"By the way, Ayanokōji, if you have any abilities, what abilities do you want?"

If you can discuss "what if" issues, in many cases, you will discuss these issues based on "conditions that you have not assumed".

To be honest, I'm not interested in any powers.

I'm very happy with where I am now.

I said, "I think it's good to be a normal person."

Mori Owai smiled slightly and said, "Do you really think so?" When the words fell, Alice raised her pure blue pupils and looked at me.

I said without changing my face, "Of course."

Mori Ogai left me a meaningful "very interesting."

When Mori Ogai turned his back, I felt that the back of his head deserved to be slapped three times, and he got a government document that "prohibits harassment in the workplace".

Why not "prohibition of child labor"?

Because, this will directly make Mori Ogai refuse to pay me wages.Because no wages are paid, it means that there is no employment relationship between us, and it does not mean that Mori Ogai uses child labor.

……

Mori Ogai has too many things to complain about, but he just said it verbally and doesn't really care about what I do.As long as his fundamental interests are not affected and his bottom line is touched, he will turn a blind eye to many things.In contrast, Osamu Dazai is really a very serious person.

When I pushed the leader's office away, I found that he was changing Alice's clothes. I put the clothes and cake beside him without changing my expression.

"Today, Ayanokouji-kun has worked hard."

Mori Ogai helped Alice pull up the skirt chain.

Different from the usual red dress, today Alice is wearing a pink-blue dress with golden hour hands counting down and a rabbit holding a pocket watch embroidered on the skirt. It is really "Alice", Alice from "Alice in Wonderland".

Mori Ogai checked the clothes in the bag, sat on the chair and asked, "Have you met any interesting people or things?"

I thought about it carefully and said, "Today is my subordinate's birthday, and I bought her a present."

"Ayanokōji-kun, you are always so reliable! You even remember your subordinate's birthday."

No, she sent it to me on her own initiative.

Before Mori Ogai finished speaking, he said, "Isn't that just saying that I also have to prepare a birthday present for us, Ayanokōji-kun?"

"..."

I didn't answer because I wasn't sure if Mori Ogai was just saying something casually, or he was really asking me.I waited for three or four seconds, and saw that he was still looking at me, so I said, "Thank you leader for your compassion, I appreciate it."

"How about giving you a sixteen-layer birthday cake? Each layer has a different taste, and you can eat it for a long time."

"..."

Rumors and rumors reached Mori Ogai's ears.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Ogai Mori smiled, stood up and took the teapot and cup, and said, "Today is a holiday, you don't have to stand all the time. Sit down, let's have some cake and afternoon tea together. Oh, I like black tea." Darjeeling, or Uwo?" As he spoke, Mori Ogai waved to me with a tea bag.

"It will be all right."

I kept watching Mori Ogai walking in front of me.

I just realized it and sat on the chair opposite him at his gesture.

And Alice has already put the cake she bought on the table, and the three of them are ready.

I tilted the cup, and the black tea was clear and rippling slightly.

"It's not enough to poison you." Mori Ogai smiled with his face propped up, touching Alice's head with one hand, and frequently got rolled eyes from Alice who was eating cake. Where is the confidence that I will not harm you?Was it swallowed? "

Oh, it was when Mori Ogai confronted me for the first time, Mori Ogai once asked me, what if he really wanted to join hands with Koshu Futsu to kill me?

I said "impossible".

Because "I am useful to him, and harming people who are useful to him is harming the interests of him and Hong Kong gangsters, which is not worthwhile."In fact, this confident line was copied by Edogawa Ranpo.

On the second day of Ikebukuro, I once gave him a whistle.I threatened him with words that day in order to make him calm down a bit, but Edogawa Ranpo said similar things and blew his whistle at me.

In fact, I'm not that confident, otherwise I wouldn't have arranged for someone to provoke the relationship between Koshu Nosutsu and Ogai Mori when I entered the dungeon.I was always worried about failure, so I couldn't trust my instincts.But sometimes, I have to play such a person again.

……

"No, I just rarely drink such good tea," I responded.

"It will taste better with black tea and cake." Mori Ogai pushed the cake in front of me.

"Ah."

In fact, I ate a lot just now.

Even if they are divided, they will still be fed.

When Mori Ogai saw me cut a bite-sized piece with a fork and put it in my mouth, he turned to look at Alice with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Alice is so cute~~" He said, putting the strawberries on his cake distributed to Alice. "You think so? Ayanokouji-kun."

"Ah, um."

"It's like 'Alice', Alice in 'Alice in Wonderland'. "Ogai Mori looked at the girl in front of him dotingly. "By the way, Ayanokōji-kun, have you seen the movie "Alice in Wonderland"?" "

"..." I basically haven't seen the movie.

Mori Ogai tapped the table with his fingers, slowly recalling.

"There's this line in it—

Alice begged the cat she met and said, "Which way should I go?"

So the cat asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Alice said "I don't care where I go."

The cat said, "Well, it's the same whichever way you go."

If people don't know what to do, they still need a good leader, right? "

"..."

"Ayanokōji-kun, do you have a dream?" Mori Ogai asked suddenly, "People always have dreams, do you have one? Or what is the thing you want to do the most?"

"I have very little ability, and there are very few things I can do." I stopped my cup, glanced at the sea view outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said, "It's enough to live well."

"If I can keep you alive," Mori Ogai followed my gaze and said, "Are you willing to use the value of your remaining life for me? Ayanokōji-kun."

I turned my head to look at Mori Ogai, and said seriously, "What do you want me to do?"

"Ayanokōji, are you willing to become a supernatural being for me? For Ayanokōji-kun, it is very easy to achieve, right?"

Mori Ogai propped his face sideways and looked at me with a smile.

"how?"
