Wen Hao's coffin can't be held down anymore

In the week when Kunikida Doppo and Hatsukano Laika didn't have classes scheduled, Hatsuneka visited the detective agency.

After all, it's a door-to-door visit, so you can't go empty-handed. In terms of etiquette, Chu Luye Laixia has done a good job.Because he didn't know what the members of the detective agency liked, he chose a honeydew melon that was not wrong and not shabby.

The honeydew melon is packed in a boxy box, and the outer layer is delicately wrapped in dark cloth, which is expensive at first glance.

The Armed Detective Agency is located on the third floor of the red brick western-style building, through the stairs, the innermost one is the office, and the sign of "Armed Detective Agency" is hung on the door.

"excuse me--"

Chu Luye Laixia knocked on the door three times, then opened it and walked in.

The interior decoration of the Armed Detective Agency is very simple, with a few desks, data folders neatly stacked, and green plants and potted plants, which is the simplest office style.

He had actually seen all of the only three members.

Ranpo Edogawa crossed his legs on the desk, eating potato chips while reading manga, and there was an open can of white peach-flavored soda on the desk; Yosano Akiko took off his black gloves and was Nails are rounded with nail clippers; Doppo Kunikida is the most serious-looking one, hard at work.

——It seems that Kunikida Doppo is the only one working in the detective agency.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Kunikida Doppo turned around and stood up, he was not surprised when he saw Chuluye coming to Xia: "You are here."

Kunikida Doppo turned to Edogawa Ranpo and Yosano Akiko who were looking at him: "Let me introduce, this is my colleague in the academy, the teacher in charge of teaching English, Hatsune Kayaka."

"It's the first time we met, I'm Chu Luye Laixia." Chu Luye Laixia smiled slightly, and put the honeydew melon in his hand on the desk, "This is a little heart."

"You don't have to be so polite..." Kunikida Doppo felt helpless, "But thank you."

Chu Luye Laixia laughed: "This is etiquette."

"This is our social doctor, Dr. Yosano." Kunikida Doppo took the initiative to introduce him, "And this..."

When mentioning Edogawa Ranpo, Kunikida Doppo's expression obviously became more serious, and his tone was faintly respectful: "This is the pillar of our detective agency, Edogawa Ranpo—Mr. Ranpo."

Chulu Yelaixia was infected by Kunikida Doppo's tone, so his expression became serious.

Edogawa ranpo put his legs down, chewed potato chips and said, "This is not the first time we met."

"Ah," Chu Luye Laixia was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, it is indeed not the first time I met Mr. Ranpo."

This time it's Kunikida's turn to be confused: "Have you seen it before?"

"Well," Chu Luye Laixia said while recalling, "I saw it once three years ago. A few days ago, I met Mr. Ranpo buying soda from the vending machine downstairs in my house."

"Drinking soda secretly again..." Yosano Akiko had a lot of meaning.

Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses: "The president clearly emphasized, eat less snacks and drink less carbonated drinks."

Edogawa Ranpo didn't expect Chu Luye Laixia to say it so clearly, so he sold him backhanded, and immediately defended himself: "No! That's within the appropriate amount—!"

Chu Lu Ye Lai Xia couldn't help laughing.

Edogawa Ranpo is known as the world's number one detective. He has extraordinary intelligence and intelligence, but his heart is like a child who hasn't grown up yet.

"I take the liberty to bother you, won't it affect the work of everyone in the detective agency?" Chuluye Laishia asked.

"It's okay," Yosano Akiko put on the black gloves slowly, and smiled slightly, "Simple commissions can be resolved immediately, and there will be no accumulation of work."

The beautiful woman sighed: "As a social doctor, I don't even have a chance to show myself."

"No..." Kunikida Doppo was silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when recalling the treatment method with Yosano Akiko, "I think...you don't need to show yourself."

"That's right," Chu Luye came to Natsu to agree with Kunikida Doppo, "If you fight Miss Yosano, it means that someone has been injured. It's best for everyone to stay safe."

When he smiled, there was no haze on his face, it was as pure and dazzling as the first ray of sunshine in the afternoon.

Edogawa Ranpo glanced thoughtfully at Chushikano Laisha, then lowered his head and continued eating the cheese-flavored potato chips.

Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko cut up the honeydew melon, put it on a plate and distributed it to everyone. The honeydew melon is very fresh honey yellow, and the flesh tastes sweet. Edogawa Ranpo, who had already finished a bag of potato chips, ate it More than half.Probably because Edogawa Ranpo's heart is like a child who has not grown up, so the three of them, including Chu Luye Laishia, indulged him.

The full young man nestled on the sofa like a cat, and there was a cup of tea on the tea table to quench his thirst.

Yosano Akiko and Kunikida Doppo began to satisfy his curiosity and told him several interesting cases that he had encountered in the former detective agency.Kunikida Doppo's method of narration is very straightforward, and the atmosphere is all based on Yosano Akiko who is supplemented by the side.

And most of these cases are very difficult cases that the police can't solve, and they can only ask Edogawa Ranpo to solve them, and it only takes an astonishing few minutes for Edogawa Ranpo to solve these things.

As expected of Edogawa Ranpo, the father of Japanese mystery novels.Chu Luye came to Xia with awe in his heart.

After staying for half an afternoon, Chu Luye Laixia was basically able to determine what kind of place the Armed Detective Agency was.

The vibe here is good, without being pretentious at all.Compared with Akiko Yosano when she was a child in the photo, she looks much more cheerful and lively.

But with these three people alone, it shouldn't be enough to have a license to open a business with special abilities, right?So the president Fukuzawa Yukichi who didn't show up must have a strong superpower—or the president himself has a pivotal position.

Want to join?

Chu Luye Laixia thought about it carefully, the armed detective agency is different from the port mafia.The port mafia is in a complete underworld. Although they can quit through formal procedures, they may not be able to get out with supernatural powers like his.Although the detective agency is also an organization with armed supernatural powers, it is a formal association, and it is not difficult to quit.

Chu Luye Laixia didn't think that Dazai Osamu was still able to help him now, and he didn't want to cause him trouble because of relying on Akutagawa Ryunosuke, or even be targeted by the port mafia.So during the two-year gap period, he needs an organization.

At least for now, armed detective agency is the best choice.

Chuluye Laixia thought about it for a while, and now showed a hesitant expression.

Yosano Akiko noticed his expression and immediately asked him: "What's the matter? If there is anything, you can tell us directly."

"Actually, I want to ask..." Chu Luye Laixia said shyly, "Is the detective agency still recruiting?"

"Huh?" Kunikida Doppo expressed surprise, "Do you want to join the detective agency?"

"Actually, I had this idea before I came here, and I decided after I came here—I want to join the detective agency." The boy showed an embarrassed smile on his face, "The atmosphere of the detective agency makes me very happy." Envious, everyone gets along like a family. And... I am also very interested in the work of detectives, and I also like the profession of detectives."

"This……"

Yosano Akiko looked at Kunikida Doppo, Kunikida Doppo took another look at Edogawa Ranpo, and finally turned his gaze back.

From Kunikida Doppo's point of view, Hatsune Laisha's character has already passed the test when he saved the little girl.As for ability... the level of knowledge has already passed the test, Chu Luye Laixia who has extraordinary abilities will not be too bad in terms of force value, and if he has the quality to be a member of the club, there should be no problem.

"Actually, I am also a person with supernatural abilities," Chu Luye Laishia added a few more words, "So, I think I have the ability to contribute to the detective agency."

At present, there are only a few people in the Armed Detective Agency who are really capable of solving violent incidents. Once they encounter any incidents, they will be understaffed. If Chulu Yelaixia joins, it can indeed help the Detective Agency reduce the burden of field work.

When the president Fukuzawa Yukichi is not around, Kunikida Doppo or Edogawa Ranpo usually make the decision by default.And Edogawa Ranpo is a person who will speak out when something is wrong, and it is impossible to save face for Chuluye Laixia.So his silence at this time probably meant that he did not object.

Kunikida thought for a while, then raised his head to look at Hatsune Laisha: "If you don't mind, you can be an intern member first, and then become a full-time member after the probation period, is that okay?"

A joyful expression appeared on Chu Luye Laixia's face, and he nodded heavily: "En!"

After achieving the goal and discussing the working hours of the interns, Chu Luye came to Xia and left.

After Chuluye came to Xia and left for a while, Edogawa Ranpo opened his mouth to speak.

"That man, when I saw him three years ago, I thought he had a psychological problem." Edogawa leaned on the sofa in disorder, and raised his fingers, "Probably he had childhood shadows, maybe he was loved Uncle Tong has been targeted, or has been abused by his parents."

Kunikida Doppo and Yosano Akiko expressed surprise at the same time: "Huh?"

In their view, Chu Lu Ye Lai Xia is as gentle, kind, sunny and lovely as an angel, with perfect speech and etiquette, it is a very pleasant thing to get along with him.No matter from which aspect, it is impossible to see that he has experienced any dark things - and it is as terrible as Edogawa Rampo said.

"The black choker around his neck, from the fact that he doesn't wear extra jewelry, it can be seen that this is not his favorite. The choker is very old, and it can be seen that it has not been cherished, and it is a little tight, like a child. I started wearing it." Edogawa Ranpo analyzed, "Since he doesn't like it, doesn't cherish it, and still wears it around his neck, it can be seen that he doesn't like it, and even hates it, but for some reason he didn't take it off. come down."

"Since he didn't take the initiative to wear it, then he was forced to wear it by his family when he was a child. And the necklace has no decorations, just a simple strip of cloth, so I guess it is used to cover up some traces - it needs to be worn when I was a child." The traces that the adults concealed with guilt are probably left after the beating. So it is very likely that he has been subjected to domestic violence."

Edogawa paused in disorder.

"As for pedophilia... there is no evidence, I guessed it based on his eyes and some physical reactions."

"When touched by some middle-aged and elderly men, he will show a very disgusting expression, but he doesn't react like that when facing other people. In fact, his expression is not very big, but he is walking in disorder. It's obvious to me, my lord."

"On that day three years ago, there was a church nearby, and the children in the choir were singing. He had obvious reactions to these, the choir, little boys, middle-aged and elderly men, subconscious aversion to physical contact, I don't need to think of anything else Have you said it?"

"I see..." Kunikida Doppo and Yosano Akiko realized it.

"However," Edogawa Ranpo changed the topic, "When I saw him a few days ago, he didn't seem to have the feeling of being troubled by psychological shadows."

As members of the detective agency, they are all people with supernatural powers. They all understand that others have such a bad past.But if you have a shadow in your heart, it will often lead to losing the chain at certain critical moments. If there is no such trouble now, it is undoubtedly the best state.

Even if it's just as friends who haven't known each other for a long time, they like Chulu Yelaixia coming out of the shadows.

******

Not long after joining the club, Chu Luye Laixia received a formal commission.

The commission is like this - the child of a wealthy businessman's family was kidnapped, so he asked the detective agency to help rescue the child.

Logically speaking, if a kidnapping incident occurs, the police should be called for help immediately. Even if the kidnappers say they are not allowed to contact the police, most parents whose children have been kidnapped will choose to call the police.

But this time the events were different.

The child was kidnapped directly from the mansion.After the rich businessman's parents returned home, they investigated and monitored and learned that the kidnapper was a person with supernatural powers who could use fire.Because he is a person with supernatural powers, the wealthy businessman dare not call the police easily, and instead chooses to seek help from an armed detective agency that also has people with supernatural abilities.

Kunikida Doppo believes that this incident is used as a test for joining the company-and the person in charge of the investigation is Yosano Akiko.

Of course, it is impossible for Edogawa Ranpo to solve the commission alone without being supervised, and as the person who is most familiar with Hatsune Laisha, Kunikida Doppo is also not suitable, so the only candidates left are those who are with him. Akiko Yosano.

Right now, Chulu Yelaixia and Yosano Akiko are collecting materials and looking at them.

The kidnapper asked the rich businessman and his wife to prepare a ransom of 2000 million yen before [-]:[-] pm tomorrow, otherwise they would tear up their tickets - the kidnapper also sent a threatening video.

The daughter of a rich businessman was tied to a chair, and the rope fixed her on the back of the chair round and round. There was a circle of bombs around her. The girl looked terrified, and tears kept rolling down from her eyes.

The kidnapper stood beside the girl, and a flame ignited from the palm of his hand.

The voice that came out was changed, but it was confirmed that the kidnapper was a man.

"If you don't prepare a ransom of 2000 million before four o'clock tomorrow, I will light the fuse and let your daughter die."

After analysis, it is certain that the video does not contain forged elements.And the kidnapper is also a genuine superpower...but it doesn't look very powerful.

According to the kidnapper, he will connect directly tomorrow afternoon to temporarily decide where to pay the ransom.

Chu Luye Laixia and Yosano Akiko have made a good division of labor, and Yosano Akiko is a healing supernatural power user. Although she has the ability to fight, she must not be as good as him in this respect.Therefore, Chuluye Laishia is responsible for chasing down the kidnappers. If there is any accident at that time, he needs to ask Yosano Akiko to provide some treatment.

Chu Luye Laixia thinks this way - if there is a situation where he will be injured, then he will definitely rush forward without hesitation to express his determination.Judging from the number of bombs in the video, it is not enough to kill him who is protected by the black ghost on the spot.

Since Yosano Akiko was present, he didn't have to worry about getting injured.This can also express his firm stand and determination to sacrifice, which should meet the requirements of the detective agency.

On the afternoon of the second day, Chulu Yelaixia set off with a suitcase containing 2000 million yen prepared by a wealthy businessman.He was driving a car with a Bluetooth headset plugged into his ears.

After a burst of loud electric current sounded, the kidnapper's voice came through the headset.

The other party asked him to turn right after the third street, go to the suburbs, and drop the suitcase under the third tree next to the sign.Then—he can drive away, and he is not allowed to watch from the side, and the kidnapper will come to pick up the suitcase containing the money in person.

The kidnapper promised that after he confirmed that he had received the money, he would release the kidnapped lady.

Chu Lu Ye Lai Xia has no objection to this, even if he is allowed to leave, there is no problem at all.After all, he has a black ghost that neither ordinary people nor people with supernatural abilities can see, so he doesn't need to be present at all.

The black ghosts are his eyes.

After Chu Luye Laixia drove to the limit distance to control the black ghost, he stopped by the side of the road.He's analyzing what it looks like in that video.

The window was knocked several times.Chuluye Laishia rolled down the car window, leaned against the window with Yosano Akiko in a relaxed posture, and handed a cup of iced coffee to Chuluye Laishia's face.

"Cold...!" He was caught off guard by the ice, and subconsciously flinched, before raising his hand to pick up the cup of iced coffee, "Thank you, Miss Xie Ye."

"I'd be happier if I called the doctor." Yosano Akiko smiled, "How's it going?"

"My creatures with supernatural powers are already monitoring there." Chu Luye Laixia took a sip of iced coffee and stared at the video sent by the kidnapper in thought. The facilities next to it are a bit like a construction site. The construction sites that did not start in the morning are mostly abandoned, but there are many places like this in Yokohama City, so we have to wait for the kidnappers to come to confirm."

"Ah!" Chu Luye Laixia sat up straight instantly, "The kidnappers are here!"

The kidnapper also came by car. The man who got out of the car was not tall. He was wearing a hood and a mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he looked a little thin from his figure.

The kidnapper first looked around for a while, then confirmed that there was no one nearby, and finally picked up the suitcase containing 2000 million yuan, stuffed it into the car, got in the car and left.

At the moment when the kidnappers appeared in the car, after seeing the direction of the vehicle and the traces left by the ruts, Chulu Yelaixia opened the electronic map of Yokohama City, and analyzed the direction and route of the vehicle—finally came to a conclusion.

In that direction, there is only one abandoned construction site.

Chu Luye Laixia looked at Yosano Akiko: "I found it!"

"Got it," Yosano Akiko nodded, and took a detour to take the co-pilot's seat, "Then let's go."

They will not wait for the kidnappers to release the hostages. The goal is to ensure the safety of the hostages first, and then capture the kidnapper alive.

The black ghost was attached to the roof of the car driven by the kidnappers as a double insurance.

When Chu Luye came to Xiakai to drive halfway, he received another call from a rich businessman and his wife—the communication was filled with the sharp and piercing cries of the rich businessman's wife, "The kidnapper said that he would tear up the ticket in 10 minutes! He said he would let go." It's all a lie! Aren't you people with supernatural powers? Save Qianhui!"

Qianhui is the name of the kidnapped girl.

Chu Luye Laixia's heart shuddered, and he replied in a deep voice: "We will definitely rescue Miss Qianhui, please trust us."

He took off his earphones and looked at Yosano Akiko with a bad expression: "The kidnapper repented. He lied about releasing the hostages. He decided to tear up the ticket."

Chu Luye Laixia opened the real-time video sent by the wealthy businessman and his wife just now: there is still a ring of bombs next to the girl's chair, but the difference from last time is that there is an extra 10-minute countdown timer.Once the countdown reaches 0, the bomb will be detonated.

There are still 5 minutes left.

Chu Luye Laixia and Yosano Akiko were already on their way to the construction site, but it took at least 4 minutes to get there even despite the speeding. The kidnappers from the black ghost chose another way to leave.

It seemed that the kidnappers were about to escape from Yokohama.

Of course, Chu Luye Laixia would not give him such an opportunity, since this guy is not going to release the hostages, then there is no need for him to move that guy.

The black ghost shot directly, but because he wanted to catch a living, the black ghost didn't kill him. He chose a place that would not kill him to attack, stunned the kidnapper and stuffed it into the trunk, and then disappeared on the spot.

When there were only 30 seconds left in the countdown, Chuluye Laishia finally arrived at the construction site with Yosano Akiko.He and Yosano Akiko searched separately. He identified the direction of light coming in from the video, the size of the building, and found the warehouse where Qianhui was locked up with only ten seconds left.

In order to prevent her from escaping, a lock was added to the warehouse door.There was no time to pick the lock, so Chu Luye Laixia shattered the lock with a single shot.

Only half of the space in the warehouse is vacant, and the second half of the space is piled up with useless wood and steel.Qian Hui was locked on the chair, and there were only two seconds left on the timer.

There was no time to cut the rope and untie it, Chu Luye Laixia summoned the black ghost again, the black ghost rushed into the warehouse, picked up Qianhui with a chair and rushed out.

The bomb was detonated in the next second, and Qianhui was protected by the black ghost in her arms, and with the impact of the explosion, she flew tens of meters away before stopping.

Before Chu Luye Laixia had time to breathe a sigh of relief, another wave of explosions occurred - when the construction site was abandoned, the explosives piled up in this warehouse for blasting were not recovered, and these explosives were destroyed by the explosion just now. It exploded.

The kidnapper already knew that there were explosives here, and he was determined to let the hostage die here!

He was standing at the door of the warehouse, and the explosion would not affect him just now, but this time so many explosives were detonated, but he couldn't escape at all, and even the black ghost couldn't rush to save him.

At the moment when he was engulfed by the light and flames of the explosion, Chu Luye Laixia only felt in his heart - fell.

When Yosano Akiko rushed to the scene following the sound of the explosion, what he saw was the boy lying on the ground.The young man's body was covered with wounds from the iron blades of the flying sword, and there was no intact skin in many parts of his body, and the places injured by the explosion showed a scorched black color.

Yosano Akiko's pupils contracted, and then she rushed to Chuluye Laishia who was lying on the ground. She tried her carotid artery with a little unsteadiness with her fingers - but there was no sign of beating there, and there was no breath.

Chu Lu Ye Lai Xia died.

And Yosano Akiko couldn't even use supernatural powers.

Another life died before her eyes.And this young man has lost all possibilities from now on even just as an adult.

She froze for a moment, then bit her lip tightly, blood oozing from under her teeth.

Before Yosano Akiko had time to feel sad and sad, a miraculous scene happened.

On the body of the dead boy, strange black particles slowly emerged, repairing the damaged body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Those injuries healed immediately, and the intact white skin was exposed under the torn clothes, and the young man gradually regained his vitality, as if he had fallen asleep.

The next moment, the sleeping boy woke up, with rich emerald green pupils like fine emeralds under the twilight.
