Takei Ayanokoji's Tool Man Guide

After breakfast, Tanizaki wanted to go out with him as a bodyguard.Edogawa Ranpo, as a "mature" adult, stayed alone in the hotel, eating snacks, and talking to the police on the phone to advance the progress of the case.

Now it is possible to identify the culprit behind the Fuyuki missing children case and several serial murderers as "Ryūnosuke Uyu".I don't know how Edogawa determined the identity of the prisoner in this way, but he always has his own clues and inferences.After that, they just need to find out where this person is hiding.

I have seen Edogawa's reasoning ability before.His ability can even reach the level of prediction.Sometimes I also feel that this is a terrible ability.Because, with such ability, I will inevitably feel that everything I do is invisible.

Seeing that I seemed to be preoccupied, Tanizaki thought I was worrying about the task that Edogawa had thrown at me, so he cheered me up and said, "Don't be too nervous, there are everyone sitting in the Butei Club! Nothing big will happen, and you won't even Something needs to be done. I'll help you too."

I glanced at him.

One of the reasons why I asked the Buteisha to be my bodyguard was to prove that I had nothing to do with "Sasaki Nobuko's attack on the Buteisha." He was my witness.However, if Ranpo Edogawa comes to the conclusion that "I am the promoter of this case", it will be very unfavorable for me to enter the Butei Club.

After all, even if he has no evidence, others will believe his words more, even if I have a group of witnesses.Sure enough, before joining the Butei Club, should I fill up Edogawa Ranpo's favorability points and make him turn a blind eye to what I do?

But the time has not yet come.

Wait a while.

"I know the person who was rescued by Mr. Kunikida." I said, ""Nobuko Sasaki", she is a guest lecturer in psychology at our school.I have taken her class.You should have heard of it, right?It's quite popular among boys. "

Tanizaki obviously didn't know about Nobuko Sasaki, and his expression was a little surprised: "This is the first time I heard about it. Sorry, I usually don't take elective courses with young female lecturers. But, when you say it this way, I really feel that the world is too big. Are you young?"

"Hope she's okay."

"I heard from Mr. Kunikida that she was just frightened, because she was trapped for a few days and developed mild dehydration. But Dr. Yosano helped take care of her." Tanizaki continued to recall the phone call with Buteisha earlier, and told me He repeated, "Last night, she stayed at Mr. Dazai's house."

The last sentence successfully stopped me: "What do you mean?"

"what do you mean"? Tanizaki asked back incomprehensibly, "why do you have such an ugly expression?"What's wrong? "

I realized that I had lost my composure, and rephrased: "There are so many people in the Buteisha, why is Mr. Dazai providing protection? And taking him to his own room?" I can understand that a victim needs to be kept close after being rescued. Personal protection, but the practice of inviting people into one's house is over the line.

Moreover, Nobuko Sasaki agreed?

I hope that Nobuko Sasaki can understand sooner—that frivolous-looking young man in front of her is not a light-saving lamp. Don't be caught before halfway through, showing her own flaws.

"Are you worried that Ms. Sasaki will be taken advantage of?" Tanizaki clapped his fists, and immediately understood, and comforted me, "Mr. Dazai is not the type of playboy, although he is indeed quite popular. Love letters can all be tied into bundles with string, but he won't do anything that crosses the line. Ah, I still have to worry—"

As Tanizaki talked, he became worried.

"You will know when you join the Butei Club. Mr. Dazai likes to invite others to die with him."

This kind of thing doesn't matter...

I'm only worried that Dazai has seen clearly Sasaki Nobuko's thoughts.

Because I didn't respond, Tanizaki became strange and said, "Don't you think it's strange?"

"..."

"Actually——" Tanizaki looked at me with soft eyes, and asked me a question with a volume that could only be heard between us, "Actually, I think Ayanokōji knows Ranpo-san and Dazai-san, right?"

"Is it obvious?"

"It's super obvious!" Tanizaki found that he was right, but was very happy, and said affirmatively, "You don't hide it at all."

"I know them, but they don't know me." I didn't want to hide it at first, because I didn't have acting talent.Furthermore, I am also very clear that "when you know others, others don't know yourself" is a very normal thing.

"For Mr. Ranpo, ordinary people can know his hobbies and habits from newspapers, magazines or online newspapers." Tanizaki said curiously, "Then how did you know Mr. Dazai? Mr. Dazai never participated in public activities , and won’t allow people to leak their photos outside the agency. So, do you know what Mr. Dazai’s previous occupation was? There are some occupation guessers in our agency, and now you can get 70 yen for guessing Mr. Dazai’s occupation correctly! "

"..."

From Tanizaki's words, I can know that the life of their Butei Club is really full of the rhythm of pastoral country tunes - light and lively.

When I met Dazai, he was the youngest cadre in the No. [-] black force in Yokohama—the Hong Kong gang. He is the right-hand man of the current leader of the Hong Kong gang, Mori Ogai, and one of the think tanks of the Hong Kong gang.But after he defected to Hong Kong gangsters, he did a lot of whitewashing work, and I don't know what job he had before joining the Butei Club.

"I don't know."

"It really is an unsolved mystery." Tanizaki sighed from my answer, then said after a pause, "Then what if I asked you to guess?"

"Teacher."

Upon hearing my answer, Tanizaki laughed instantly: "Why do you say that?"

"Isn't the person who likes to die for love a Mr. Despair?"

Tanizaki laughed: "Is this a word trick?"

"I think I'm serious."

By the time the conversation ended, we had just arrived at the cemetery.Tanizaki didn't want to disturb me, so he consciously stayed in an unobtrusive corner, making sure that I would neither leave his sight for too long nor disturb my work.

I changed into my black sacrificial clothes and was about to go out when a gray-haired young man in his 30s walked in through the window.He looked at me dimly, like a ghost.

"It's the magician Kariya Matou."

The name played in my head, but I didn't say a word, but looked at him, waiting for him to automatically tell me why he came to me.In fact, when I was here, I accidentally bumped into the scene of the magician, and he came to save me.

Time passed not long, in fact, it was only yesterday.No one knows that I had a close meeting with the god of death yesterday when the day changed.But thinking about it now, it seems like a week has passed.

He said, "Father, can you obey one of my requests again?"

He was a dozen years older than me, but his voice was filled with humility and reverence.

In fact, I didn't know him that well, and he didn't even know my name.But this does not prevent him from trusting me, relying on me, and even trying his best to protect me.

I said calmly, "I am always listening to your appeal."

On the relationship of "how to quickly establish a familiar and stable relationship between strangers", what I can tell you is that it has absolutely nothing to do with "kindness", "benevolence" or "faith", but "interests", "buying and selling" ” and “Whatever You Need.”

I had what he needed in me, and that made him have no reservations about me.

"I want to win the Holy Grail War."

Although I don't know what this so-called "Holy Grail" is, I believe he will explain it to me clearly.

Now the question I have is "how on earth did he know me".Why did he use "again", but in my impression, I have not helped him.

I think I'll find out soon.

Instead of my doubts, my firm voice sounded.

"How do you want to win."

The author has something to say:

Regarding the understanding of this article, I think new readers can understand it as "a certain person named Ayanokoji is very familiar with Hong Kong and Hei people, but Hong Kong and Hei people have no impression of him at all, and don't need to pay attention to other things. Because this is new story.

Including why the magician Kariya Matou knew Ayanokoji and why he saved him, Ayanokoji himself did not know.
