I'm on the scramble

Only then did Ah Li seem to wake up from a dream, covering his face with one hand, his cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, like a fresh peach that was rosy in the south, with a youthful and shameful quality.

——A girl in love!

Sure enough, the people around were hesitant to speak and looked at the two of them.

"Speaking of which! Have you seen Kenji? I just picked up his hat at the elevator entrance."

Knowing that his body temperature was soaring without looking, Ah Li hurriedly opened and closed his eyes to change the topic, and showed everyone the straw hat he picked up earlier.

The things that appeared in front of them, like the fruit after a meal, buffered the feeling of fullness that everyone was forced to eat dog food.

"Kenji's words... It seems that I said to send the 'combination' people down." Tanizaki said belatedly, and suddenly thought of something and his face changed: "Could it be..."

"I'm afraid Xianzhi has encountered an accident."

The president was the first to smell the crisis.Kenji is a boy he personally recruited into the detective agency in the countryside. If his safety is compromised, Fukuzawa Yukichi is really worried.

His heart sank, he took the lead to put away everyone's impetuous thoughts, and called on everyone: "Call Xianzhi and the few clients who often deal with him, and try to see if he can be contacted."

Everyone quickly followed suit and got up quickly in their seats.

But this time their hopes were doomed to fail. Not only did they fail to get through to him on the phone, but the other clients also said that they had never seen Kenji.On the second day, they found that Kenji still hadn't returned to the dormitory.

Ah Li, who came out of the house, was talking on the phone with his colleagues in the detective agency, while looking through the mailbox at home.

"Why is this pink letter again... Ah yes, I'm rushing over now, you wait at the detective agency for a while, and Ranpo and I will go to the meeting soon."

He flipped through the mailbox in a hurry with the phone on his shoulder, when Luanbu next to him urged impatiently: "Ah Li is ready, I want to buy bean paste buns quickly—"

"Okay, here we come." A Li, who had no time to care about the letters, had to put all the letters back for the time being, and read them again when he had time, and then ran back to Luanbu's side.They didn't know at this moment that in a distant place, someone was watching this scene with a telescope.

Early in the morning, the Armed Detective Agency was very busy.

Not long after the two of them arrived at the office, they saw Kunikida rushing in with a bunch of newspapers in his arms.

"Have you read the morning paper?"

At this time, Ah Li was standing in front of the TV with everyone watching the latest news.

"Maybe what we're watching on TV is the same thing you're trying to say."

Ah Li didn't turn his head back, but just folded his arms and stared at the screen in front of him, his side face was hidden in the braided tea chestnut hair, revealing an unreasonable silence.

The news broadcast on TV is a live broadcast, and the host does not use standard and fast sentences to tell the miraculous deeds that happened not long ago.It is said that a building with a height of seven floors disappeared out of thin air overnight, and passers-by were extremely panicked after discovering it.

"It turned out that the leader of the group said 'the news will be published in tomorrow's morning paper', does that mean..."

Standing aside, Dazai put his thumb against his lips, and said thoughtfully.

"Kunikida, Dazai and I entered the president's office. Ranpo is already inside. Dad said that an emergency meeting will be called. As for Atsushi and Tanizaki, please go to the street to find out where Kenji is. There must be enemies. Fang's supernatural beings are on the move, remember not to act alone, you know?"

In order not to waste time in extra places, Ah Li passed on the arrangement to others, and then led the two of them into the president's office.

Atsushi and Tanizaki hurriedly said yes from behind.

Obviously, the group is determined to set up their detective agency this time, and they are not only targeting them, but even the port mafia, and deal with them as useless garbage. They want to take this opportunity to monopolize Yokohama soil of.

"The appetite is really big. I want to eat the whole city in one bite." Ali clicked his tongue in displeasure because of the upstart's behavior. If she wasn't a good person, she would want to rob him so much that he wouldn't even lose weight.

"In short, Li, let all the clerks who are not capable of fighting be transferred outside the county, and the others will play by ear. If necessary, all the staff will move to the "Wanxiangtang" to deploy the next ring operation. "

Fukuzawa Yukichi said in a deep voice.

Everyone who received the president's order should be, and quickly launched their actions.

"Ali, have you obtained information about the "combination" before? "After leaving the door of the president's office, Luanbu suddenly asked Ah Li.

"Yes, yes, do you want to know their information?" Looking at his eyes, Ah Li realized that he wanted to hang out, so he took the group behind him back to the side by side On that desk, he opened the drawer and handed the stack of documents inside to Ranbu.

"The stronghold of the group of people is nothing but a huge mobile flying ship."

With a tone of 'she can't imagine the happiness of a rich man', Ah Li spit out this very critical information quite hostile to the rich.After a while, she inexplicably thought of a certain idea: "But, if such a big spaceship hits Yokohama, everyone will be finished, right?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, she couldn't help touching her chin and following this line.

"After all, that's how it's done in animation. According to Murphy's Law, when buttered bread falls, it must land on the side of the butter. But if there is something hanging over your head in the sky, it will definitely fall. It's like the head of a king It is not surprising that the sword of Damocles will hit Kanagawa, and the flying ship above us will hit Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture..."

Unexpectedly, she had spoken out for a long time but failed to get a response. When she raised her head, she found that Dazai had been watching her silently.

Ah Li met his eyes for three seconds, and suddenly felt bad: "...isn't it?"

Dazai nodded sadly, affirming her thoughts: "That's what you think."

Ah Li's face turned black in an instant, and he clenched his fists and joints with gritted teeth: "They are dreaming, how dare they be so bold! Dare to make trouble on top of my head?"

"That's what you said, but you don't seem to be worried at all." Dazai raised his eyelids curiously.

Full of anger, he vented it all at once, Ah Li twitched for a while, and said with some reluctance around his hair: "Don't worry, there is a mess anyway."

She believes in the ability of her bamboo horse, no matter how difficult things are, he can predict them.Thinking of this, she sneaked a glance towards Luanbu, and found that the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and she snorted in a good mood.

Dazai: "...So what about me? Don't you want to rely on me?"

Obviously his brain is also very useful.

"You really have a childish temper, you have to fight even for this." A Li showed an expression of "you will have a little red flower if you do it", and reluctantly said: "Then you will be counted as one."

Dazai pretended to cry and turned his head: "...to be so perfunctory, forget it, I know that I am no longer your favorite child, so leave me alone."

After speaking, he left the range of the childhood sweethearts, so as not to ask for food.

Just as Ah Li was watching Dazai, the showman, leave without a word, he scrambled and made a long tone, and asked an irrelevant question while flipping through: "Hey——speaking of this information, Ah Li, where did you come from? Who got it?"

"What's wrong with the one provided by 'Hound Dog'?" Ah Li tilted his head.

But Luanbu just snorted concisely, and said with a see-through expression: "It's nothing."

Ah Li looked at him suspiciously for a while, but he didn't see why.Suddenly, the landlines placed on the desks in their hands rang, submerged in a busy atmosphere, and almost missed it.

"Who is calling at such a busy time?"

Ah Li answered the phone without any doubt, but the voice on the other end was beyond her expectation.

"Well, Gui'an... I want to know the letter that was sent to Mr. Ranpo's house before..."

On the opposite side was a timid and weak male voice, as if it took a whole year of courage just to say this sentence.Ah Li disliked the low volume, and asked impatiently: "You are? Please speak louder——"

The other side of the phone was choked with fright, and raised the volume a little bit: "I... I want to discuss the duel with Mr. Ranpo, but why, he has not responded all the time, has he forgotten me... ..."

"Hey." A Li scratched his head in distress in this chaotic sentence that seemed to be talking to himself, "What is right... We are very busy here, if there is nothing important, I will hang up first. "

"Wait—" Before the male voice could say anything more, he found that the receiver was already filled with a series of beeping busy tones.

"...Why, why is this..." In the dim room, the young man holding the phone was so sad that he wanted to cry, "If the 'challenge letter' cannot be delivered to Mr. The time will be wasted... Could it be that we still have to start with that woman first? No..."

Thinking of the psychological shadow brought to him by the latter, the young man hugged his knees, shaking with a reluctant autistic atmosphere.

The little raccoon crawling over from the side rubbed his hand reassuringly, and the young man suddenly showed a moved expression: "In this icy world, only Carl's fur still has a little warmth..."

As a result, he didn't find the right position when he touched his head, and was bitten fiercely by the ferocious little raccoon.

"Ah, it hurts!"

On the other side, Armed Detective Agency.

Ah Li, who had just put down the phone, was asked by Luanbu, "Who is calling?"

"I don't know, someone probably made the wrong call, or it was a prank, and I couldn't even say a sentence like social terror."

Ah Li shrugged boredly, then jumped off the desk.

"I'll go out by the way too, to see if I can find Xianzhi."

Kunikida, who happened to come around with the contact form, became worried when he heard this: "Are you alright by yourself?"

"It's okay, it's better to say that the person who bumped into my hand should be more unlucky." A Li waved his hand indifferently.

Kunikida was silent for a moment, what she said was not wrong at all, it's better to mourn in silence for the enemies who don't know if they will appear or not.

After deciding to act immediately, Ah Li turned around and went out to wander around the street.All the way from the street in front of the store to the busy road, the ordinary people in Yokohama still live as usual, unaware that an unknown crisis is lurking among them and coming quietly.

At this moment, Ah Li, who was walking on the zebra crossing, felt a gaze from the crowd.After a pause, she deliberately walked to a place where there were few people.

Until she came to a remote station and saw no one around, she said to the dark place in the corner: "Come out, the guy who has been with me for a long time."

After a while, a little raccoon emerged from the corner and ran towards her on all fours.

With a rose in its mouth, it didn't stop until it reached the girl's feet, then straightened up with its forelimbs like a human, raised its head, and rubbed its hands at her foolishly.

"Whoa cute - super cute -"

Ah Li was completely struck by its appearance, and hugged the wild raccoon in surprise.Unexpectedly, it also looked very close to him, the white snout protruding forward that was sandwiched between the two circles of black faces loosened, and the meeting gift it brought fell into Ah Li's arms.

Inexplicably, a long-sleeping memory in Ah Li's mind revived, and it seemed that through it, she remembered the little raccoon that she had been thinking about but could not abduct six years ago.

"You look like the little raccoon Carl I knew before... Could it be that you are Carl?"

Ah Li scratched the little raccoon's chin hehehe, indulged in Rua's fluffy happiness, he didn't even pay attention to the suspicious man who hid behind the station sign and poked his head out, watching sadly.

In the end, the seemingly hesitant footsteps still came lightly.

The hem of a black cloak came into the edge of her field of vision. Ali raised her head and found that the person who came was a strange man, with thick black curly hair reaching to the neck, and his eyes were even drooped due to lack of care. Gloomy, with the air of a stalker.

"That... I said it six years ago, Miss, please return Carl to us." He asked tremblingly, "Also, can I ask if he has received the letter addressed to Mr. Ranpo?"

Ah Li stared at this "familiar" guy for a long time, staring straight at the black-haired young man with extreme anxiety and bowed his head, trying to use his toes hidden in his boots to scratch out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground.

Then she heard her asking unintentionally, "Who are you?"

Someone who has been ruthlessly forgotten feels suddenly suffocated.
