Edogawa Ranpo didn't care what kind of shock his words brought to everyone in the detective agency. He didn't know where to take out a lot of snacks and ate them one by one. They looked at each other, and looked away tacitly.

"So, did Miss Xiaochun ask the detective agency to find out the information of Chuya Nakahara? But why?"

Kunikida Doppo, as the head of the detective agency, needs to sort all the commissions into categories. After thinking for a while, he gave up and decided to directly ask the brain of the detective agency:

"Mr. Ranpo, did you see Miss Xiaochun's needs from the very beginning?"

"No."

Ranpo Edogawa ate a piece of potato chips with a "sigh":

"I just go with the flow."

"Follow the trend?"

Atsushi Nakajima was a little puzzled.

"It can also be said to be fueling the flames? Well, it doesn't matter how you say it. In short, Miss Xiaochun needs our help."

"But do we really want to tell her the situation of Zhongye in the Central Plains? About his identity as a Hong Kong gangster cadre, and the ability to manipulate gravity."

Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka glanced at each other, as if they had thought of something, their expressions became dignified in unison.

"Is there anything wrong with it?"

Edogawa Ranpo didn't seem to think anything was wrong at all. Kunikida Doppo glanced at the two youngest members before explaining further to Ranpo:

"Dun and Jinghua are worried that the information of Zhongyuan Zhongye will have a bad influence on Miss Xiaochun. After all, the gravity envoy belongs to Hong Kong black."

"Huh? Really?

Edogawa Ranpo raised his eyebrows when he heard this sentence:

"However, Xiaochun asked us to investigate the Central Plains Chuya. This can be called a strange thing, right?"

"You...what you said seems to make sense..."

Kunikida Doppo suddenly found that he couldn't refute: That's right, what kind of opportunity made Haru Miura want to investigate Nakahara Chuya?It's weird no matter what.

Could it be that...

He was startled, and suddenly looked at Edogawa Ranpo, with a terrified expression as if he saw a strange species, but at this time, it was Osamu Dazai who had been silently in the background for a long time, He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip before saying:

"Mr. Kunikida is a bit slow."

"What the hell is going on? Dazai?"

The rigorous blond young man suddenly felt that his brain was really not enough. Osamu Dazai put down his glass and admired his partner's performance of doubting life with a smile in his eyes, and then said lightly:

"Mr. Ranpo discovered Miss Xiaochun's doubts from the very beginning, so he led her to ask us to investigate Zhongye. As for why it is Chuya, I have to ask Mr. Ranpo."

Successfully bringing the topic back to Ranpo Edogawa, Osamu Dazai picked up a spoon and began to eat the chocolate sundae in front of him.

Kunikida Doppo calmed down, glanced at Dazai Osamu's soothing expression, sighed slightly, and said:

"That's right, you used to have connections with Hong Kong gangsters, that's why Mr. Ranpo entrusted you with this task."

He opened the notebook with the word "ideal" written in his hand, wrote down something, and then closed it:

"Then I will entrust you with the full authority of this entrusted task, Dazai, and it is up to you to decide what to do."

"No problem Kunikida-kun~"

What answered him was Dazai Osamu's suddenly playful expression, which made Kunikida suddenly get goosebumps all over his body.

Edogawa Ranpo took out a glass bead, held it up to observe its color, and finally murmured;

"The reason for this task is very simple. Nakahara is also investigating a person, and that person happens to be someone Miss Miura Haru cares about."

"As expected of Mr. Ranpo, you only need to look into the eyes of the client and you will know the ins and outs immediately. It is not a super power, but it is better than a super power. The talent called super reasoning is really a godsend talent."

Osamu Dazai removed the spoon from the corner of his mouth, looked at Edogawa Ranpo and started eating snacks again, shook his head and laughed.

However, Mr. Detective ate several more potato chips before he remembered something and said:

"Speaking of which, the recent new rumor is becoming more and more popular."

"Mr. Ranpo, are you referring to the rumor that the last Mare ring is hidden in Yokohama?"

Atsushi Nakajima raised his hand to speak, saying that he finally had a topic he could understand, and he wanted to join the discussion group.

"Yeah, Atsushi-kun is finally able to bring information to the detective agency~"

Dazai Osamu had an expression of "my family has a child who has just grown up", and reached out to touch the tiger's head of the tiger boy. Atsushi Nakajima smiled shyly:

"Recently, I have adapted to the intensity of work, so I also subconsciously collected all potentially valuable information."

"You did a good job, Don-kun."

Osamu Dazai gently picked up the coffee spoon and stirred the coffee in the cup:

"Keep the momentum going."

"Yes!"

The human-tiger boy stopped and answered loudly.

"Speaking of... the Mare Ring is rumored to be a unique product of the Mirufiore family, right? The ability seems to be able to manipulate horizontal space and time?"

Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses and joined the topic. He opened the note in his hand and suddenly frowned:

"I heard that Mare's ring had disappeared long ago, but I didn't expect it to appear again at this time. No wonder many strange families suddenly descended from the sky in Yokohama recently. I'm afraid they are all looking for this Mare's ring?"

"Not all of them."

Edogawa Ranpo put away the glass beads, and looked at Kunikida Doppo in a leisurely manner:

"That thing seems to have appeared too, that...'book'..."

When he said this word, a light flashed in his glasses:

"The legendary book that can grant wishes appeared at the same time."

As soon as the voice fell, the room was silent, and everyone's expressions were very heavy.

In the end, it was Osamu Dazai who broke the silence. His slender fingertips tapped the coffee cup lightly, making a thin crisp sound, and the sound was as warm and mellow as the brown coffee in the cup because of the addition of milk. :

"Well...it's useless to think about it now, the existence of the 'book' is also unknown."

Just this one sentence made the time that had been stagnant continue to rotate. Edogawa pushed his glasses in disorder, and met Dazai Osamu's dark brown eyes. The latter generously let him look at them. In the end, the detective just took apart He put a lollipop into his mouth and muttered:

"up to you."

"Ah."

On the other side, after three to 10 minutes of Shinkansen, Miura Haru returned to Honmaru, gave everything to Hasebe and Utasen, and returned the two daggers to their elder brother, and then she returned to the castle tower.

She took out her mobile phone, and first sent a message to Sawada Tsunayoshi to tell him that the matter had been settled, then she hesitated for a long time, and finally found out Chuya Nakahara's phone number.Sent him a text message:

'I'm home, thank you Mr. Nakahara today. ——Miura Haru'

I don't know if the other party happened to be looking at the phone, but she received a reply from the other party in less than a minute:

'Just get home, please say hello to your family for me. ——Central Plains Zhongye'

"what?"

Haru Miura stared at the text message closely, and felt that Chuya Nakahara's reply was unexpectedly very down-to-earth. In fact, they were just strangers who met each other once, but Chuya Nakahara's statement would appear for no reason. A feeling that the other party is trying to pull into the relationship between the two.

Could it be that Zhong Yuan Zhong is not a particularly straight man like he is heard when he speaks, but a person with a high EQ?

The face of Zhongyuan Zhong who is not angry and arrogant even when he doesn't smile emerges in his mind, ah, it is really hard for her to imagine this.

Miura Harun thought so, found Mengmeng's emoji and sent him a smile back.

"Ding--"

Ganghei Building, in the room belonging to Zhongyuan Zhongye, the sound of a text message came, Zhongyuan Zhongye put down the book in his hand, picked up the phone, the screen lit up, it was a text message, and when he saw the sender clearly, his brows A pick:

"Dazai?"

This damn mackerel actually texted him?

There is only one short word in the text message:

'Yo~~~'

"Yo what, how can I fix it!"

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was originally indifferent, suddenly changed his face, and threw all the books in his hand onto the thick carpet.

On the other side, in the Asakusa Shrine, when Haru Miura entered the house to change the laundry, when he was preparing the dinner arrangement in Ohiroma, and when the scent wafted from the kitchen, the snow-white Tsurumaru Kuninaga opened the space-time The door of Compass's room, seeing the person standing inside, he was stunned for a while, and then showed a smile:

"Welcome back, you haven't been back for a while, Qiusui."

The red-haired priestess in Chihaya turned around, with a fox-shaped mask on her face, she spoke, and the voice that came out of the mask was a bit muffled:

"Is Honmaru okay during this time?"

"It's pretty calm, nothing serious."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga leaned against the desk, the smile on his mouth kept rising.Seeing this, the witch took off her mask, revealing a face that looked like she was under 30 years old at the most. She had crescent eyebrows, beautiful features, and the slightly raised corners of her eyes were exactly the same as those of Miura Yumi and Miura Haru. With a hint of heroism, the whole body's aura is full of solemnity.

She relaxed her body, folded her arms against the bookcase, and looked at Tsurumaru with gentle eyes, and her tone was familiar:

"I heard you said that the identity of the person who attacked Xiaochun was found out, so I came back."

"I just said why you came back suddenly, it really is because of Xiaochun."

Tsurumaru Kuninaga chuckled, and then said under the slightly oppressive eyes of the other party:

"Okay, don't look at me like that. Gangji-kun has indeed found some clues. Regarding the identities of the assassins, there is a high possibility that they are the Time Traveling Army."

As soon as the words fell, Tsurumaru Kuninaga suddenly felt that the temperature around him suddenly dropped. He was unmoved and raised his eyes to look at his former lord. As expected, an offended expression appeared on her face.

"It's really a surprising answer."

The shrine maiden named Akiho said indifferently, her face was calm, and she could not see likes and dislikes, but Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who knew her character well, knew that she was angry.

The white Fu Sangshen lowered his head slightly:

"Actually, I was taken aback at first."

"I'm curious."

Qiusui and him looked at each other, a storm was brewing in the grape-colored eyes:

"Time-traveling army, I haven't heard this name for a long time, no... it's better to say that I am... the time-traveling army."

After saying this, she suddenly put on the mask again, and walked towards the space-time compass, as if she was about to leave, Tsurumaru Kuninaga asked:

"Going again?"

All he answered was Qiusui's "Well, go punch someone" and the blue light that suddenly covered her whole body.

The light disappeared, and only the snow-white Tsurumaru Kuninaga was left in the room again.He stared at the place where she disappeared, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Come back soon, Qiusui."

Until your return, I will do everything in my power to protect your beloved world.
