The whole world has my vest
Chapter 93
The behind-the-scenes people who invested in and invested in these research institutes for supernatural beings watched the pictures transmitted by the button camera, and no one spoke for a while.
Those eyes and those soft words coldly passed through the long distance and fluctuating current, turning into sharp arrows and piercing through their hearts.
"Professor Moriarty, who the hell is he?!"
Someone angrily swept down the things on the table, venting their inner panic and anger.
"Hasn't [Firefly]'s base been found yet?! It's impossible to take away so many supernatural beings without leaving any traces, right?!"
"If this continues, we will all be killed!"
"You have to do it first!"
What exactly is Firefly trying to do?Don't the people in this organization know that this approach is basically angering the forces behind the research institute?
It's just a study of a few supernatural beings. Compared with those supernatural beings with average abilities and useless abilities, everything they do is truly for the world and for the supernatural beings!
No matter how these behind-the-scenes people excused themselves and comforted themselves with cold sweat, Joshua would not care, and would not stop.
Thousands of supernatural beings have been rescued, and hiding them all in Japan is not an easy task.
Moreover, there is an Edogawa Ranpo in Yokohama, Japan. His reasoning ability is feared by Joshua. If he finds any clues, I am afraid that the existence of Yinghuo and even the base area will be dug out by him.
Therefore, Joshua let the vest of 'John Libet' attract Edogawa Ranpo's attention, and at the same time made all the dirty research on supernatural beings in various countries public.
With the help of the Red Queen, even a person with the ability to manipulate electrons, how can he be an artificial intelligence opponent who can work continuously without sleep?
No matter how hard the major social networks try to delete or ban those accounts that send the truth, they still cannot stop the Red Queen from publishing the truth.
The world was shocked and outraged by these released materials, but the countries and institutions that secretly mixed in the experiments of supernatural beings hated 【Firefly】for this. The reward for hunting down even reached 1000 million US dollars per person, and as their leader, 'Professor Moriarty', even reached a terrifying [-] million US dollars!
This amount is already considered a relatively high price in the dark web of the black market.
Of course, the superhumans or mercenary squads who thought they were powerful were trying to get this high bounty, but they couldn't even find Professor Moriarty anywhere, so how could they talk about taking his life?
It's almost like a ghost, no matter which country they are from, they don't have their entry information, and they just appear in front of those institutions for no reason.
"They must have supernatural beings who can move instantly."
A mercenary squad kept watching the few leaked videos, whispered.
"And the ability of that supernatural user is not low - but the most important thing to pay attention to is that Professor Moriarty."
The captain of the mercenary team paused the video, then rewinded a little bit, and froze on a certain frame.
"Did you see that the supernatural powers of the guards of those institutions in this place were about to hurt the Firefly people, but when Professor Moriarty made a move, he not only saved him lightly, but also fought back."
"As expected of someone who offered a reward of [-] million dollars as soon as he showed up."
How those notorious mercenaries and killers in the country evaluate Professor Moriarty, Joshua does not know, and will not care.
The number of these scarred supernatural beings is increasing. If they all live in Japan, they will definitely attract the attention of various forces.
Because Joshua deliberately used Moriarty's card face, this professor Ruya, who looks and looks like an Eastern European, will not let those arrogant Western forces guess that the base of [Firefly] is actually in the East, but because Joe Shuya placed them in the Yokohama Concession where fish and dragons were mixed together. After a long time, it will inevitably attract the attention of the port mafia and the Supernatural Secret Service.
Especially Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo, these two characters with the script in hand have already been on Joshua's red list that needs strict vigilance.
It would be fine if Joshua just used the card face himself. He is confident enough to perform so that they can't see the flaws. However, these scarred supernatural beings don't come from another world like him, and they don't have such good acting skills. If you don't pay attention, you may be aware of your flaws, and even those two people will follow the clues to find Joshua-or maybe you will fall off the horse.
Joshua will never let this kind of thing happen, it's cool for a while, and it's cool for a while!
Even John, who was rescued by Joshua and even promised to fulfill his wish, didn't know that the professor Moriarty he feared was actually one of Joshua's vests.
So, how to make Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo temporarily and briefly avert their eyes from Yokohama, so that Joshua can settle down the rescued supernatural beings?
The person who can shake Dazai, Joshua's first reaction is Oda Sakunosuke, because of the emergence of the Holy Grail War, Oda Sakunosuke did not die with Andre Gide, and it did not become an opportunity for Dazai to leave the port mafia.
He is still at the bottom of the port mafia moving bricks with peace of mind, preparing to support his five children.
Turning the tiger away from the mountain, hiding the old warehouse, and even beauty tricks flashed in Joshua's mind. For this former killer who could be regarded as a friend by Osamu Dazai, Joshua did not intend to underestimate him.
This kind of natural intuition is sometimes surprisingly sharp.
"I remember Oda Sakunosuke's dream is to be a novelist, right?"
Although these Japanese literary giants have gone out of business to become port mafia and detectives, but since they are literary giants, their literary skills should not be bad—even if they are poor, it doesn’t matter. Inspirational card face.
But the most important thing now is how to get Edogawa Ranpo's attention away from Yokohama.
The Armed Detective Agency has a close relationship with the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and a little carelessness will cause a chain reaction.
And now, who can most arouse Edogawa Ranpo's interest?
Joshua sighed softly, looked at the card of 'John Libet', hesitated for a while, and then launched the vest.
After Edogawa Ranpo returned to Yokohama, although he still reported to the detective agency every day, something was obviously wrong.
Not only did the frequency of eating snacks decrease a lot, but he even searched for information with great enthusiasm. It is really rare to see such a serious work appearance.
"Hmm... It's really too clean, it's almost suspiciously perfect."
Edogawa ran back and leaned back on the chair. Of course, he noticed that John was abnormal and something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything by using the ability of Yamada Hanaburo, a member of the detective agency's supernatural being. This made Edogawa Ranpo Even more curious.
It can be said that this is probably the first time he has encountered a puzzle that cannot be solved.
The curiosity that made Ranpo Edogawa addicted to it finally reached its peak when he learned that John Libet was coming to Yokohama.
Yokohama is the base camp of the Armed Detective Agency, and there are countless people who owe favors to the Detective Agency. Getting an invitation to the banquet is just a piece of cake.
It was rare for Edogawa Ranpo to wear a formal suit, not even a hat. He had only one target, and that was John, who was the center of the line of sight.
His eyes quickly met John's. Across the crowd, John smiled slightly, nodded to him, and raised the glass of wine in his hand.
Edogawa Ranpo also hooked his lips. He walked to the side leisurely, took a lot of exquisite desserts, piled them on the plates, and then sat on the terrace away from the banquet, waiting patiently.
It didn't take long for John to get rid of those flattering people around him and come to him.
The light blond hair was combed back, revealing a smooth and full forehead, but there were still a few broken hairs falling on the forehead, which made John even more beautiful like starlight.
Wearing a white suit, John was as beautiful as a sculpted angel, and looked at Edogawa Ranpo with those penetrating blue eyes, and said softly, "Mr. Ranpo."
"You instigated the murderer Tamura to do the Kiyomaru Kunihide case." Edogawa Ranpo's voice was firm and calm.
He looked at John, who was emerging in the financial and political circles, and smiled slowly: "Although I don't know how you did it for the time being, but... I will find out the evidence."
John's eyes swept over Edogawa Ranpo's body, and he judged that the other party was not wearing a wiretapping or recording device, then hooked his lips, and he approached the famous detective: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also I'm staring at you, Mr. Ranpo, it's not a good thing to be too close to me."
"This kind of threat is useless to me." Edogawa Ranpo opened his green eyes, and John's flawless face was contained in the clean and firm eyes.
John, who was just stared at by the green, was in a daze for a while, as if he saw his glamorous self being gradually melted, leaving only the most real inner reflection in Edogawa Ranpo's eyes.
"I'm the type, the more threatened I am, the more motivated I am."
Edogawa Ranpo said confidently.
"Really." John suddenly moved closer to Edogawa Ranpo, his smile was constantly shifting, so close that the breath they exhaled from each other would enter each other's lung cavity again, John's fiery breath made Edogawa Ranpo slightly frown , Subconsciously wanted to back up, but John's smile made him competitive, and he refused to back down.
"Why don't you play a game, detective."
When John was speaking, his expression was very calm.
"Next, I will go to different cities, and those cities hide murderers who have committed crimes but have never been caught. If you catch the murderer, that is your victory."
"But if...they die, that's my victory."
Edogawa Ranpo's eyes widened suddenly. Although he lost his father when he was young, he later met Fukuzawa Yukichi, received his blessing, and built a detective agency together. It can be said that this was the first time he met such a brutal opponent.
but……
The blue-eyed detective raised his head proudly: "I accept this challenge!"
"If I win, you will surrender to the police."
Edogawa Tramp Trail.
Although Kiyomaru Kunihide's death is not a pity, Edogawa Ranpo admired the conscientiousness of the police officer Meika Kazuki, and his dead father was also a policeman, so he took action to maintain the authority and justice of the judicial system.
John smiled noncommittally: "If I win... Well, think about it after the game is over."
"I'm looking forward to the ending of the game."
John's eyes flicked across Edogawa Ranpo's face, and then he changed back to the gentle and personable upstart at the banquet, and the treacherous smile disappeared as if it were a hallucination.
John didn't tell Edogawa Ranpo where he was going, but Edogawa Ranpo didn't care, I'm afraid this is also part of the game.
Deduce the city where John will go next, and then go to the police file according to the key words, find out the unsolved killers, and bring them to justice before John kills them!
Although this game is dangerous and on the edge of the law, it is undeniable that Edogawa Ranpo is really excited.
Of course, he also has the right to refuse, as long as he doesn't follow John, maybe this is more in line with John's wishes.
But—why would he refuse?
Edogawa hurriedly got up and went back to the banquet where the cups and cups were mixed together. While observing the surroundings and listening to the conversations of others, his brain was running fast, and he was constantly deducing which city John was going to based on the information. .
His eyes quickly locked on a certain man with a big belly, with a slightly rolling tongue accent, the wine in his hand, the unique pattern of the tailor-made suit on his body, and the flattering expressions of the people around him—— Edogawa Ranpo It is deduced that he is the big boss of some chamber of commerce and is about to strike a big deal with John.
In this way, the next city John will go to can also be determined-the next destination is Osaka.
After deducing it, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't wait any longer, he immediately found Fukuzawa Yukichi, and revealed his bet with John: "That's it, President, please help me book a ticket to Osaka! "
The reason why the ticket was booked was because the plane was faster - Ranpo Edogawa knew that if the opponent was John, he would have to seize the opportunity faster.
Fukuzawa Yukichi was taken aback when he heard the words, and when he learned that Edogawa Ranpo had risked so recklessly, he frowned, with obvious disapproval written on his face, but seeing Edogawa Ranpo's determined expression At that time, it turned into a helpless sigh: "I will let Kunitaki go with you, two people can at least reduce the danger."
Edogawa Ranpo did not reject Fukuzawa Yukichi's kindness. After all, he also knew that if he was alone, even if he arrived in Osaka, he might get lost on the road.
……
…………
Osaka, this city is full of historical style, coupled with the geographical environment near the sea, it is also a prosperous trading port.
After Edogawa Ranpo arrived in Osaka, he immediately went straight to the Metropolitan Police Department. Kunitaki Doppo, who was a step behind, just took out the ID of the Armed Detective Agency. Clearly came to the dossier room and began to look it up.
John's words have revealed a lot of information, "has committed a crime" and "never been caught", these two limiting conditions can filter out many cases that do not meet the conditions.
But even so, there are still hundreds of unsolved cases in front of Edogawa Ranpo. It is very difficult to choose the murderer who was targeted by John and find evidence to bring him to justice. things.
"I'm a detective! It's easy to solve a case like this!"
This is obviously difficult, but just like the declaration made by Masa Edogawa Ranpo, the more difficult it is, the more motivated he is.
Edogawa ranpo thought quickly. Judging from his reasoning for John, the murderer who would be selected by him may not be the murderer of a single case. If the Kiyomaru Kunihide case is used as the benchmark, John may be more inclined to serialize the case. killer, and a brutal and unrepentant murderer on the run.
This approach is more like an angel of judgment or an angel of justice—after all, John’s face and figure are also perfect, just like those angels with thorns on their heads and sharp blades in their hands that were carefully carved by sculptors. .
After the screening of cases that meet these conditions, there are only a dozen left. This number is not too much for Edogawa Ranpo, and it is more than enough to solve.
"Please help me find the files of these cases. I want to solve them all. I will ask Kunitaki to negotiate with the Metropolitan Police Department for the arrest!"
It was rare for Edogawa Ranpo to stay up all night, relying on the numbingly bitter coffee to wake up, when he solved all these cases, including hundreds of unsolved cases, and waited for the police department to arrest the criminals, Then I learned that John had also arrived in Osaka.
Now that John is the new darling of the upper class, and he has an outstanding appearance, once the media is around, these long guns and short guns will involuntarily stare at his face.
I have to admit that John, who can hold 360-degree shots without dead ends, can indeed be called a rare handsome man in the world.
"Mr. Ranpo, the Metropolitan Police Department has already gone to arrest the criminal—but why didn't you tell the Metropolitan Police Department about your game with that John? Can't you just arrest John?"
Kunitaki Ranpo expressed his puzzlement suspiciously.
"Because there is no evidence."
Edogawa Ranpo rubbed his red eyes from staying up late, and said calmly.
"Can the recording be used as evidence in court? Besides, John just made a bet with me. If there is no evidence that he actually did something, the Metropolitan Police Department will not be able to issue an arrest warrant."
Not to mention that Edogawa Ranpo didn't record at all. He didn't believe that John couldn't tell if he had a recorder.
Besides, John is such a cautious person, that he would make this bet with him, which is enough to prove how confident he is that Edogawa Ranpo will not be able to beat himself.
Therefore, Edogawa Ranpo must show his true abilities, and let that arrogant John know that his title of detective is not blown out - he will be the one who wins!
John in the news was scrambled to be questioned by the reporters. They all knew that John came to Osaka for cooperation and investment, but when someone asked John if he would visit this historic city, the handsome blond young man smiled slightly. Laughed, that smile almost stunned all the reporters present, even the most well-informed and smartest, couldn't help sighing the charm of this young man.
"Osaka is a very beautiful city. Since I have the opportunity to come here, of course I will not miss this opportunity to get to know it well."
John had a gentle expression, while Ranpo Edogawa raised his head and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It seems that the place to meet him has been determined."
Edogawa Ranpo just glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and quickly confirmed it.
He put on the hat that was put aside, and walked alone towards Kunikida: "Kunitaki, take me to the castle tower."
The castle tower is the tallest, most important, and most representative castle in Japan, and it is one of the symbols of ruling power in the feudal era.
John should have calculated the time when the news will be broadcast, and if Ranpo Edogawa wants to get his information, the most convenient way is to get it from the TV news.
The start time of this news program, plus the time from the Metropolitan Police Department to the castle tower, is the moment when John is waiting for him in the castle tower.
I am afraid that this meeting agreement with twists and turns can only be imagined and speculated by people like Edogawa Ranpo and John, who are almost wise and almost monsters.
Kunikida Doppo was worried about letting Edogawa Ranpo go to see John alone. When they reached the top floor, they saw many bodyguards in black suits. As expected, John was watching the scenery on the top floor.
John's profile and the window lattice of the castle tower almost constitute a classical painting, even though his hair color and appearance are foreigners, but the beauty beyond human race at that moment is enough to make everyone who sees this scene slow down, Stop and admire.
However, Edogawa Ranpo didn't seem to have this muscle. He took a step forward to break the scene, and said loudly: "I have solved all the mysteries you set up, and now the Metropolitan Police Department has gone to arrest the criminal."
The implication is to tell John that this is his victory!
"Ranbu-jun, you are here."
John turned his head and smiled at the detective.
"Please have some tea, both of you."
Following John's words, the bodyguard at the side conjured up a tea tray out of nowhere, on which were placed a teapot, two teacups, and a plate of snacks that clearly matched Edogawa Ranpo's taste.
Kunitaki Doppo was still a little scrupulous at first, but Edogawa Ranpo tasted the dessert first, and then drank tea, as if he was not worried about whether there would be any strange things in it.
The trust in Edogawa Ranpo made Kunitaki Doppo slightly let go of his guard, and he also took tea to moisten his throat, so as to relieve the thirst of climbing up the castle tower to consume physical strength.
Edogawa Ranpo's triumphant expression was like a child who had won a game, but John kept smiling lightly, looking at Osaka at dusk from the castle tower, and said softly, "Ranpo-kun is worthy of his name. Detective, I found those murderers accurately and quickly. But... are you sure they are still alive now?"
Even when he was speaking such dangerous words, John's eyes were still clean and penetrating.
Edogawa Ranpo's face suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted at Kunitaki Dopo as if he realized something: "Call the Metropolitan Police Department quickly! Tell them to rescue people immediately!!"
John calmly watched Edogawa Ranpo instructing Kunitaki Doppo to notify the Metropolitan Police Department. He lowered his eyes and continued calmly.
"These sinful villains will be judged, and God will not let them escape punishment again."
Those eyes and those soft words coldly passed through the long distance and fluctuating current, turning into sharp arrows and piercing through their hearts.
"Professor Moriarty, who the hell is he?!"
Someone angrily swept down the things on the table, venting their inner panic and anger.
"Hasn't [Firefly]'s base been found yet?! It's impossible to take away so many supernatural beings without leaving any traces, right?!"
"If this continues, we will all be killed!"
"You have to do it first!"
What exactly is Firefly trying to do?Don't the people in this organization know that this approach is basically angering the forces behind the research institute?
It's just a study of a few supernatural beings. Compared with those supernatural beings with average abilities and useless abilities, everything they do is truly for the world and for the supernatural beings!
No matter how these behind-the-scenes people excused themselves and comforted themselves with cold sweat, Joshua would not care, and would not stop.

Edogawa Ranpo did not reject Fukuzawa Yukichi's kindness. After all, he also knew that if he was alone, even if he arrived in Osaka, he might get lost on the road.
……
…………
Osaka, this city is full of historical style, coupled with the geographical environment near the sea, it is also a prosperous trading port.
After Edogawa Ranpo arrived in Osaka, he immediately went straight to the Metropolitan Police Department. Kunitaki Doppo, who was a step behind, just took out the ID of the Armed Detective Agency. Clearly came to the dossier room and began to look it up.
John's words have revealed a lot of information, "has committed a crime" and "never been caught", these two limiting conditions can filter out many cases that do not meet the conditions.
But even so, there are still hundreds of unsolved cases in front of Edogawa Ranpo. It is very difficult to choose the murderer who was targeted by John and find evidence to bring him to justice. things.
"I'm a detective! It's easy to solve a case like this!"
This is obviously difficult, but just like the declaration made by Masa Edogawa Ranpo, the more difficult it is, the more motivated he is.
Edogawa ranpo thought quickly. Judging from his reasoning for John, the murderer who would be selected by him may not be the murderer of a single case. If the Kiyomaru Kunihide case is used as the benchmark, John may be more inclined to serialize the case. killer, and a brutal and unrepentant murderer on the run.
This approach is more like an angel of judgment or an angel of justice—after all, John’s face and figure are also perfect, just like those angels with thorns on their heads and sharp blades in their hands that were carefully carved by sculptors. .
After the screening of cases that meet these conditions, there are only a dozen left. This number is not too much for Edogawa Ranpo, and it is more than enough to solve.
"Please help me find the files of these cases. I want to solve them all. I will ask Kunitaki to negotiate with the Metropolitan Police Department for the arrest!"
It was rare for Edogawa Ranpo to stay up all night, relying on the numbingly bitter coffee to wake up, when he solved all these cases, including hundreds of unsolved cases, and waited for the police department to arrest the criminals, Then I learned that John had also arrived in Osaka.
Now that John is the new darling of the upper class, and he has an outstanding appearance, once the media is around, these long guns and short guns will involuntarily stare at his face.
I have to admit that John, who can hold 360-degree shots without dead ends, can indeed be called a rare handsome man in the world.
"Mr. Ranpo, the Metropolitan Police Department has already gone to arrest the criminal—but why didn't you tell the Metropolitan Police Department about your game with that John? Can't you just arrest John?"
Kunitaki Ranpo expressed his puzzlement suspiciously.
"Because there is no evidence."
Edogawa Ranpo rubbed his red eyes from staying up late, and said calmly.
"Can the recording be used as evidence in court? Besides, John just made a bet with me. If there is no evidence that he actually did something, the Metropolitan Police Department will not be able to issue an arrest warrant."
Not to mention that Edogawa Ranpo didn't record at all. He didn't believe that John couldn't tell if he had a recorder.
Besides, John is such a cautious person, that he would make this bet with him, which is enough to prove how confident he is that Edogawa Ranpo will not be able to beat himself.
Therefore, Edogawa Ranpo must show his true abilities, and let that arrogant John know that his title of detective is not blown out - he will be the one who wins!
John in the news was scrambled to be questioned by the reporters. They all knew that John came to Osaka for cooperation and investment, but when someone asked John if he would visit this historic city, the handsome blond young man smiled slightly. Laughed, that smile almost stunned all the reporters present, even the most well-informed and smartest, couldn't help sighing the charm of this young man.
"Osaka is a very beautiful city. Since I have the opportunity to come here, of course I will not miss this opportunity to get to know it well."
John had a gentle expression, while Ranpo Edogawa raised his head and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It seems that the place to meet him has been determined."
Edogawa Ranpo just glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and quickly confirmed it.
He put on the hat that was put aside, and walked alone towards Kunikida: "Kunitaki, take me to the castle tower."
The castle tower is the tallest, most important, and most representative castle in Japan, and it is one of the symbols of ruling power in the feudal era.
John should have calculated the time when the news will be broadcast, and if Ranpo Edogawa wants to get his information, the most convenient way is to get it from the TV news.
The start time of this news program, plus the time from the Metropolitan Police Department to the castle tower, is the moment when John is waiting for him in the castle tower.
I am afraid that this meeting agreement with twists and turns can only be imagined and speculated by people like Edogawa Ranpo and John, who are almost wise and almost monsters.
Kunikida Doppo was worried about letting Edogawa Ranpo go to see John alone. When they reached the top floor, they saw many bodyguards in black suits. As expected, John was watching the scenery on the top floor.
John's profile and the window lattice of the castle tower almost constitute a classical painting, even though his hair color and appearance are foreigners, but the beauty beyond human race at that moment is enough to make everyone who sees this scene slow down, Stop and admire.
However, Edogawa Ranpo didn't seem to have this muscle. He took a step forward to break the scene, and said loudly: "I have solved all the mysteries you set up, and now the Metropolitan Police Department has gone to arrest the criminal."
The implication is to tell John that this is his victory!
"Ranbu-jun, you are here."
John turned his head and smiled at the detective.
"Please have some tea, both of you."
Following John's words, the bodyguard at the side conjured up a tea tray out of nowhere, on which were placed a teapot, two teacups, and a plate of snacks that clearly matched Edogawa Ranpo's taste.
Kunitaki Doppo was still a little scrupulous at first, but Edogawa Ranpo tasted the dessert first, and then drank tea, as if he was not worried about whether there would be any strange things in it.
The trust in Edogawa Ranpo made Kunitaki Doppo slightly let go of his guard, and he also took tea to moisten his throat, so as to relieve the thirst of climbing up the castle tower to consume physical strength.
Edogawa Ranpo's triumphant expression was like a child who had won a game, but John kept smiling lightly, looking at Osaka at dusk from the castle tower, and said softly, "Ranpo-kun is worthy of his name. Detective, I found those murderers accurately and quickly. But... are you sure they are still alive now?"
Even when he was speaking such dangerous words, John's eyes were still clean and penetrating.
Edogawa Ranpo's face suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted at Kunitaki Dopo as if he realized something: "Call the Metropolitan Police Department quickly! Tell them to rescue people immediately!!"
John calmly watched Edogawa Ranpo instructing Kunitaki Doppo to notify the Metropolitan Police Department. He lowered his eyes and continued calmly.
"These sinful villains will be judged, and God will not let them escape punishment again."
