Takei Ayanokoji's Tool Man Guide

I didn't understand what Edogawa Ranpo was thinking, and suddenly jumped out of our conversation, but fortunately Junichiro Tanizaki was here, because I'm not good at dealing with such moody people.

Among the many people I have met, I personally like obedient and well-behaved people. Even if his obedience comes from "he has no thinking ability", I don't mind.

"I'm going out, can Tanizaki come with me?" I have to follow the previous setting - I need someone to protect me.

"Where are you going? Will it be long?"

"I want to go out for a stroll." I glanced at Edogawa, who had his back turned to me, and said, "Isn't it because some people don't want to see me, and don't want to talk to me?"

Staying here now will only lead to embarrassment and discomfort.

In psychology, there are two effects proposed in interpersonal communication——

The first is the "primacy effect", which means that people will maintain the first impression of the person who appears for the first time. This experiment happened on the proposition of "memory" by the American psychologist Lochins; therefore, Many times, people will always emphasize the importance of "first impression".

The second is the "recency effect", which means that people will have a deeper impression on themselves of the other party they communicate with. This usually happens between acquaintances.To give a simple example, when familiar friends quarrel with each other, it is easy to forget the time they spent together in the past. They only remember that the other party has been arguing with themselves recently, and they will not remember the other party's advantages.

I now feel that the current situation between Edogawa Ranpo and me is more applicable to the second situation. After all, when we first met, he still had a good impression of me.But after two years of not seeing each other, not only did he treat me a lot colder, but he also found fault with all kinds of things about me, and always wanted to make trouble with me.

I can understand it as "he doesn't like me very much". If I continue to maintain this impression, I think it will be a kind of trouble and pressure for me.Therefore, in the current situation, it is best to separate and find some time to establish a new image in front of him, and he will naturally be more obedient.

When Tanizaki heard my words, he subconsciously glanced at the dark sky outside the window. After all, it was winter, and the sky was getting dark faster than expected.

"It's getting dark, so don't go out. I can guarantee that Mr. Ranpo definitely doesn't hate you."

Edogawa Ranpo was suddenly assured by someone, and when I was about to refute, I rushed to say: "It's okay, you take care of Edogawa. I'll just walk around here. Places with a lot of people are always not so Dangerous. You don’t have to wait for me to eat. Besides, I have the cross of Fuyuki Church, so if something happens, no one will care about the clergyman.”

This is an authority effect.

If a person's professional background is respected, what he says and does will be valued and trusted more than ordinary people.Just like seeing a doctor in a white coat, his opinions are more trustworthy than ordinary people.And Fuyuki City can be regarded as a city with more believers than other cities, and the priests will be respected to some extent.

Seeing that I was determined to go out, and sympathizing with my troubled relationship with Edogawa, Tanizaki Junichiro walked me to the door and said, "Then don't come back too late, Mr. Ranpo, in fact, people are very talkative."

Seeing me looking at him, Tanizaki sighed and said: "Of course, you are also easy to talk, but I can't."

He sighed, which contained the negativity and depression of "I can't even handle the relationship with my friends and colleagues well".As a friend, I feel that I need to comfort him and give him some advice.

"There is a bottle of sleeping pills in my backpack. If Edogawa is too noisy, you can give it to Edogawa. He will be quiet for a long time."

As soon as I said this, Tanizaki's clear pupils trembled, as if I was handing the machete to him and letting him deal with Edogawa.

"Why, why do you have sleeping pills?" Tanizaki's words also became awkward.

I said lightly: "I have some insomnia, so this afternoon, I stopped by the pharmacy to buy sleeping pills."

"But wouldn't that be a little too extreme?"

I don't understand why Tanizaki has such a big reaction, and I'm not asking him to give Edogawa laxatives.

No matter what, I hope Ranpo Edogawa can stay peacefully in the hotel and sleep, and can't go out tonight.

As long as it's past tonight, it'll be fine.

"I was taught by someone before that when things go wrong, just rely on medicine."

I used to worry about the solutions to some things. At that time, I had a relationship with the current investigator of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, Ango Sakaguchi. He once gave me such a similar suggestion, which made me enlightened and suddenly realized.

Tanizaki was shocked by my words, and said: "The person who gave you such advice must have a dark heart, don't listen to him!"

"..."

I was silent for a while.

In the silence, I thought about Ango Sakaguchi's human qualities, and finally said firmly: "I think he is actually pretty good."

Tanizaki shook his head hastily, and said to me in the earnest tone of saving the "missing boy": "Ayanokōji, listen to me, don't associate with that person. That person sounds very dangerous!"

"I haven't seen him for a long time."

"That's good." Tanizaki nodded in relief, and said, "Ayanokōji, you are much more innocent than I imagined. You must be cautious when making friends!"

This young man is obviously a year younger than me, and is about 4cm shorter than me. Why does it look like he is taking care of me?

"..."

I found that in fact, many times, I have no way to deal with other people's understanding of me, and it is too troublesome to explain.So I accepted Tanizaki's setting for me.

I don't really understand what kind of confidence he has in treating me like a child.The answer I gave myself is—maybe I am a priest, he automatically thinks that I am not deeply involved in the world, and will always treat people as good people?Or, after taking care of the 26-year-old Edogawa for a long time, he is also used to worrying about the elderly?Or is it because the Butei Club has too many people to worry about?

I think, I will always get the answer later.

***

After leaving the Hyatt, I went straight to another cheaper youth hostel.Not long ago, I checked in for a room there under a false name.My room is in Room 701. Although the room is small, it has all internal organs.I originally thought that if there was no news of the Butei Club recruiting me, I would live here temporarily.

After all, Fuyuki Church does not provide accommodation, so I need to find a place for myself.

And I came here specifically, not to save money, so I came and returned this room.My purpose is to recover the video I left in Room 703.

I have mentioned one thing before, I have done a lot of part-time jobs, and I also know about black market intelligence. One of the reasons is that I have also done part-time jobs in the black market-sold some weapons.

A few days ago, someone on my website asked me to transport a batch of weapons to a certain hotel in Fuyuki City. When the other party contacted me, they used a female voice.After all, I have been in this industry for several years and have a good reputation in the industry, so she didn't take too much precaution against me.In other words, if there is no basic trust in this industry, it is impossible to do it for a long time.

She wants a lot. In addition to the most advanced semi-automatic sniper rifles that are the most coveted by arms dealers, two special sight bases, two military-grade night vision scopes, and a suitable custom-made gun are also available. There are other smoke canisters, and plastic bombs.In terms of the amount of explosives alone, at least three or four high-rise buildings can be demolished.

I can understand that she is a professional killer, and I can also tell from her order that she should have another companion.Their targets will probably be trickier than imagined, so they will be equipped with so many high-precision weapons.However, Fuyuki City does not have any small safe city occupied by black forces.

So, after I sent the weapon to the location she designated, I immediately booked a room in this hotel online, and changed into a suit of work clothes to install a smart camera in the dead corner of Room 703—no need to pull out the memory card, just use You can view the video through the connected App, and you can also trace back the video within 7 days.

Today the woman reunited with her companion, who was a man—a black-haired sullen man whose full name was never mentioned by the woman from beginning to end.Only unfamiliar words such as "Tohsaka family", "church" and "congling" were repeatedly mentioned, as well as a name that might be more familiar to me - "Kotomine Kirei", and old priest Kotomine It's the same last name.

Their content focused on discussing that in a certain Tohsaka family last night, a subordinate spirit dealt with the subordinate spirit called "Assassin".And the caller of "Assassin", "Kotomine Kirei", ran back to the church to take refuge, and was protected by the "Supervisor".

Starting from the video camera, only the video that started at noon today has more content.

Their dialogue involved three different identity categories: "caller", "spirit follower" and "supervisor".Among them, one of the "Summoners" is the "Tohsaka family", and there is one named "Assassin" from the spirit, and the "Supervisor" is related to Fuyuki Church.

Based on these three points, I can get a lot of information.And starting this afternoon, they equipped their bodies and luggage with explosives and weapons, which is enough to show that this is a signal for their actions.

Once the action starts, the next is the predictable content.

While they were out on the move, I planned to reclaim my video recorder. When I used a special magnetic card to open room 703, my mobile phone rang in my trouser pocket—it was the movement inside the room. Prompt for sensor activation.

Generally, few people will call me, plus I have work and study tasks, and I never set the ringer on the phone.

The bell rang at this moment, which was enough to show that someone appeared out of nowhere in a room that was obviously empty.

I pretended to be talking to myself: "Why did you just call me?"

I picked up my phone and started walking towards the escape stairs.

The author has something to say:

Ango Sakaguchi is always judged and killed!

The part of Ayanokoji learning "prescription" can be seen in Chapter 25 of "Hong Kong Black Undercover Ayanokoji" titled "Chapter 24". Ayanokoji really learned it from Sakaguchi Ango hhhh.
