The whole world has my vest

There is no need to return to the Armed Detective Agency, Edogawa made a phone call indiscriminately, and asked Yosano Akiko to take photos of the remaining files sent to the Armed Detective Agency and send him a photo.

Soon, Yosano Akiko sent the dossiers to Edogawa Ranpo. Although the screen of the mobile phone was a little small, the detective quickly read all the dossiers, which were not too small.

"Sure enough."

The corner of Edogawa Ranpo's mouth curled into a smile, he raised his mobile phone, and his eyes stayed on a certain file.

"I found it—an unsolved case that happened in Yokohama, which is not an accidental case and has not been solved yet."

Because the police did not believe that this case had anything to do with the twenty-faced man, it was placed in another batch of files.

This also led to the lack of a key fragment in the information received by Edogawa Ranpo.

"John was able to become a weirdo with twenty faces. Takako Ninagawa, who is well-connected in the political and financial circles, also contributed a lot. It is certain. This means that the man behind the scenes this time must be the same kind The type that wants to get their hands dirty, but manipulates other people behind their backs."

"'Extremely clean' can also be a sign."

"President, drive me to the taxi company! I want to check their driver information!"

Edogawa Ranpo said eagerly.

"Got it - hurry up!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded, he stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and kept overtaking on the road. The silver-white sports car passed several cars almost in the blink of an eye.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's driving skills are almost spreading his wings on the edge of the traffic law.

But the effect is also very outstanding, in less than 10 minutes, they arrived at the taxi company in Yokohama.

With the certificate of the Armed Detective Agency as a guarantee, Edogawa Ranpo's request to check the driver's information was quickly approved. He used two things at once, the mouse kept sliding down, and his eyes kept turning from left to right Then, hundreds of thousands of names and attendance records flashed on the screen very quickly.

"Well, do you mean that there are criminals in our company? But our company is a compliant and decent company! And there is no immoral behavior such as wage arrears!"

The person in charge of the taxi company rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.

Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced at the person in charge, and said calmly: "We haven't found out yet, everything will be judged after the investigation."

"Found it!" Edogawa stopped when he saw the name of a certain driver when he slid the mouse in random steps.

"Isn't this Kobayashi Yuchai?"

The person in charge of the taxi wiped his sweat and asked doubtfully.

"He is an old employee of our company for more than ten years, so there is absolutely no way he is a criminal!"

"Anyway, can you call Xiaolin Yuchai here first?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi could understand the confusion and fear of the person in charge, but he believed in Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning.

"For the specific situation, we need to consult him."

"That's fine."

Probably because he didn't believe Xiaolin Yuchai would be the prisoner, the person in charge immediately called Xiaolin Yuchai's phone, but Didi was ringing on the other end, and no one connected for a long time, and finally hung up by himself.

The person in charge wiped his sweat, smiled apologetically, lowered his head, his expression changed, and he called again, but he got the same result. Now even the person in charge dare not insist that Xiaolin Yuchai is innocent.

"There is no need to fight anymore, the other party has already discovered that we have found this place."

Edogawa looked around in disorder, and then said decisively.

"Tell me about it, what kind of character is Kobayashi Yuchai?"

Edogawa ran up to the person in charge and asked loudly.

"Xiaolin Yuchai? Usually he doesn't have much sense of presence and is reticent, but he works very carefully. Have you seen the photos over there? A customer once left a purse containing a large amount of cash on his car. I didn’t even bother to find the owner and sent it back to the owner, it’s even on the news!”

Edogawa nodded in confusion, which can also explain why the person in charge said that Kobayashi Yuchai had no sense of presence and was taciturn, and he was clearly a marginal figure, but he was still remembered.

With such deeds, no matter how weak the presence is, they will naturally be remembered.

The person in charge is still rambling about this matter: "Because of this matter, our company has gained a lot of limelight, and even gave Xiaolin a lot of bonuses, but he didn't ask for it, saying that it was because of himself as a qualified employee. The professional ethics that taxi drivers should have.”

"Then he is sick, does your company know?"

The words that Edogawa Ranpo suddenly uttered were like an invisible hand strangling the throat of the person in charge, making his eloquent voice suddenly spit out without swallowing or swallowing.

"Ah... this... Xiao Lin has a terminal illness, and our company is not doing charity... Besides! We have also launched a fundraising campaign, which can be regarded as the best of benevolence!"

When the person in charge said the previous paragraph, he faltered and faltered, and his sweaty and obviously ghostly appearance made Fukuzawa Yukichi probably able to guess a little bit.

This kind of thing is common in places where capital is rampant. Once an employee is diagnosed with a malignant disease and becomes unable to create production value, the company needs to support them in turn. It is conceivable that people who are of no value to the company can only could be considered trash.

No matter how upright and proud of the job that person used to be, he can only be kicked out in the end.

Even if you are sick, you must continue to work diligently for the capitalists who suck their blood in order to continue the few lives left.

It is also clear why an honest person has a sudden change in temperament, and the motivation and reason for helping the black hands behind the scenes to set up murder traps.

As for taxis, it is not surprising that they appear in any corner of the city.

The person behind the scenes did not hide his tactics at all, but hid the most obvious clue in another corner, waiting for Edogawa Ranpo to discover it with a mischievous mentality.

"Can you find out where Kobayashi Yuchai's taxi went?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked in a deep voice.

"Ah, I'm afraid this won't work..."

After Edogawa Ranpo clearly never met Kobayashi Yuchai, but said that Kobayashi Yuchai was sick, the person in charge didn't feel lucky.

"Xiao Lin has turned off all the communication equipment in the car, and he cannot be contacted through the walkie-talkie—and all we can know so far is that he went in the direction of Shi Cao District..."

Edogawa hurriedly rushed out the door, Fukuzawa Yukichi followed him, without needing more words, the silver-haired man opened the car door, and followed the direction of Kobayashi Hashiba with the famous detective.

"What is the goal?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked concisely.

"The hospital under construction on Shicaoqu East Street! They're there!"

Ranpo Edogawa fastened his seat belt, grabbed the handle on the roof, and quickly replied.

"If you can see the high-rise buildings in the nearby area, and if they meet the conditions of no one going in and out, then they should be under construction or have been abandoned. The man behind the scenes and Kobayashi Yuchai are waiting for us at the hospital building!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi stepped up the accelerator, and his deep and mellow voice sounded extremely quickly: "Close your mouth and grit your teeth, I'm going to speed up!"

There was a buzzing sound from the stepped on accelerator, and he was running on the road at a speed that would definitely annoy the traffic police.

By the time they arrived, the sun was almost sinking to the west. Today's clouds are like long wounds that have been torn open in the sky. The rays of light are blood that is constantly overflowing, and those thick clouds are like cotton clogged on the wounds. , it looks inexplicably frustrating.

If you want to talk about the moment of encountering the devil, it is probably the scene at this time.

This hospital building was originally prepared to accommodate patients, but some time ago when the former leader of the port mafia went mad after getting sick and died, the investors who originally invested in this hospital withdrew their capital and resolutely stopped going into this chaos. throw money away.

In the end, this hospital building, which should have been quite impressive after it was completed, also became an unfinished building.

The hospital building, which should have been more than 20 stories high, was blocked from the outside, but this did not stop the invasion of interested people.

The more the building reached the top floor of this hundreds of meters high building, the more the prototype was built with only a steel skeleton.At most, the ground was paved with a layer of cement.

Of course, there is no elevator here, but Edogawa Ranpo didn't hesitate, got off the car and ran towards the stairs.

"Random! Wait!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't stop it in time, seeing Edogawa Ranpo disappear in a short period of time.

Although he chased after him, for some reason, Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't catch up to him even though he saw Edogawa Ranpo's clothes not far away.

Almost instantly, Fukuzawa Yukichi noticed something strange: "Supernatural power!"

He immediately bent his knees and put his hands on the handle of the knife at his waist. The sharp blade came out of its sheath, and a cold light flashed. The tip of his knife did not swing into the air, but froze in mid-air.

"Sure enough, there are supernatural beings."

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned, and he looked around, trying to find out the weakness of the supernatural being who didn't know where he was hiding.

Edogawa Ranpo noticed something was wrong when he climbed to the third floor, but he became more and more convinced that the person behind the scenes had a great connection with John.

That night, no one knew whether the barrier blocking the Armed Detective Agency was released by John or not.

But today Edogawa Ranpo can be sure - John Libet is not a supernatural being.

In fact, there is no need to climb to the top floor at all. When Edogawa Ranpo climbed to about No.13 floor, he saw the person he was looking for on this trip.

At this moment, the sun was about to be completely swallowed by the distant coastline, and only a little bit remained sticking out.

However, these faint brilliance will probably be completely swallowed up by the darkness in a short while.

Kobayashi Yuchai was only middle-aged, but he was as thin as a stick, his complexion was dark yellow, his eyes were swollen, and he looked terminally ill.

"As expected, you are here, Edogawa Ranpo."

Kobayashi Yuchai did not look surprised at all.

He has probably been waiting here for the arrival of Edogawa Ranpo, but at this moment Edogawa Ranpo, who was waiting on the sidelines, was unmoved: "Where is the person who ordered you behind the scenes? Don't you call him out?"

Kobayashi Yuchai laughed: "That Your Excellency is not someone who can be easily seen after solving such a simple game."

"Now, there is one last test. Only after you pass it can you meet that Your Excellency."
