Takei Ayanokoji's Tool Man Guide

The place I'm going to - "Fuyuki City" is a city by the sea.It is said that it got this name because of the long winter.

Fuyuki City is indeed located at a higher latitude in Japan.However, cities near the sea are generally affected by ocean currents, and the reason why Fuyuki City is not too cold in winter is not only because of the warm current, but also because it is close to an extinct volcano, and the crustal movement is frequent, and there are hot springs under the city.Because of this, there is still a saying in this city - "Dig two springs at random, maybe it will be a hot spring."

And the Fuyuki Church I am going to is located in the north of Fuyuki Shinto, and priest Kotomine Ri is waiting for me.He is an old man with a strong physique, at least 80 years old, with silver hair and hale eyes. Compared with the traditional "priest with compassionate eyes", he is more like a strict and self-disciplined martial artist.

Because he was wearing a black clergyman's attire, with a golden cross necklace hanging squarely in the middle of his chest, I recognized him immediately.

I said as I walked, "I'm Ayanokōji Kiyotaka from Yokohama City."

"Mr. Ayanokōji, you are very welcome here."

He stretched out his hand to me, and I could feel the thick and thick warmth from his palm.I was analyzing his origins from his black sacrificial robe, Kotomine Ri continued to say to me——

"When I received the letter, I thought it was a more stable age, but you are younger than I thought."

I didn't have much resonance with this emotion, so after the words ran in from my left ear, they ran out of the right ear directly.

Kotomine Risei didn't say too many pleasantries, and went directly to the topic: "Recently, due to the rampant murders in Fuyuki City, the funeral to be held is far beyond my imagination, and I am in urgent need of a helper. You used to follow other priests Was there a condolence ceremony?"

"Yes, I have learned the basics." I simply replied.

"Then recite the prayer for me once." Yanfeng Rizheng said.

I feel a little bit that he is in urgent need of employing people. Under normal circumstances, this kind of internship will give enough time to observe, instead of asking the other party to be omnipotent like an employer.

""We depend on the Lord Jesus Christ for this sure hope of resurrection and eternal life..."" I repeated word by word the content of the prayer that came out of my head, "...May God lift up his face to him, and grant He is safe, amen." "

I had just finished speaking when there was a yawn of boredom from the pew in the middle of the chapel.Yan Fengli was looking towards the source of the sound, and there was a young man in a brown suit lying on his back on the bench above him - Edogawa Ranbu, under the sight of the old priest Yan Feng, scratched his stomach casually .

"He's my part-time colleague, and he's not familiar with Fuyuki City. I asked him to wait outside the church..." I was trying to explain.

"God loves all people, including unbelievers." Yan Fengli said solemnly with a tone of indifference like a law enforcement officer: "As for those who don't believe in gods, they will understand that one day they will regret their current contemptuous attitude Take responsibility. The unbeliever will suffer eternal torment and after death will be cast into the lake of fire full of brimstone. You don't have to be angry with him, God will watch him sink into the eternal fire of hell."

I felt that the old priest Yanfeng was angry, but I pretended not to hear it and said, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"During the internship period, I can't take you to do many things. You will be responsible for the funeral, and you will start reporting to the cemetery from tomorrow. There is no need to come here from the church." Old priest Yanfeng took it back and put it in Edo With cold eyes on Chuan's body, he repeated, "Just take care of the cemetery. Don't go out at night. If you want to come to church, let me know in advance."

This is far from the church internship in my impression.

Rather than giving me practical things to do, it is more like telling me not to get close to this church.

About 10 minutes later, I left the church with the file with the timetable and map in my arms.Edogawa Ranpo also walked out of the chapel following in my footsteps.

"so boring."

I glanced at him. Originally, he was supposed to be with Tanizaki, but when he heard that Tanizaki was going to hand over to the police station, Edogawa didn't want to go, but followed him.

"Many pews in the believers' seats in this church chapel are covered with a thin layer of dust. It seems that there are not many people coming in and out, but it doesn't feel like an ordinary church because of the busy talk. Moreover, there are obviously two people in the church. One person, another person, hid when we showed up."

Edogawa Ranpo pillowed his arms and made a big call.I don't know if this is complaining more, or just having an uncontrollable desire to tell.

The two people he mentioned are because when we entered the church, we saw some shoe prints of "entering the church", but we did not find any "exiting the church".

But I don't think it matters.

Everyone has secrets—secrets that they don't want to share, secrets that they don't want to be known.Once spied on, it will inevitably cause heavy psychological pressure on people.The Prophet Muhammad once said on the matter of "protecting secrets" that "those who know that others don't like it and eavesdrop on other people's corners will have their ears filled with lead water on the Day of Resurrection."丨It is also strictly forbidden for people to eavesdrop on other people's private conversations.

I never take the initiative to discuss other people's secrets, and this is not something that can be discussed.I entered the chapel ahead of Edogawa Ranpo, so I also saw a double image on the person who hid in the confessional.

"This kind of thing doesn't need us to deal with."

Edogawa seemed to want to do something, but was forcefully stopped. After I finished speaking, he looked a little unhappy and said: "You are really rude, I am reminding you. You will have bad luck in the future, so don't Crying and begging me."

My point is-

"At least don't speak ill of others at their door."

"What? Are you imitating that old man who said that I will go to hell and have my tongue pulled out?" Edogawa Ranpo said aggressively.

I corrected, "That's the "Tongue Pulling Hell" in Buddhism.In Christianity, the tongues of those who are glib are cut off. "

Ranpo Edogawa stuck out his tongue at me and made a big grimace.I subconsciously reached out my hand in his direction.After Edogawa Ranpo noticed my movement, he immediately opened his eyes wide and took a step back.

"What do you want?" Edogawa said angrily, "You just wanted to pinch my face, right?! You have such a bad personality! I'm a detective Ranpo-sama, how dare you do this to me?"

I put my hands back into my pockets and said, "How about a cake, please?"

I know what he likes.

"I don't eat food from strangers! Just a little bit!" Edogawa stuck out his tongue and refused directly, "If you want to please me, it depends on whether I am willing or not."

"..."

It is reasonable to think that the previous method is also effective, it seems that I miscalculated.

The author has something to say:

Seeing the comments, I ran over to the second update.More tomorrow!Comparing!It turned out that it was clearly agreed to update regularly, but it turned out that the text was updated at will.

I don’t know [Why Fuyuki City is a hot spring just by digging] (the original setting), the place where the hot spring will appear is not only formed by the magma action inside the earth’s crust, but also formed by the seepage cycle of surface water.Most of the latter happened in high mountains and deep valleys. I didn't think it fit Fuyuki City, so I chose the former.
