I'm on the scramble

The conspiracy brewed by the combination is constantly approaching, and those who can make money to bribe the mafia to hunt down their prey will definitely deal with them by all means.

And now they have obtained information about the combination stronghold of the white whale. Based on Ranpo's super reasoning, they must be able to deduce their next link plan and carry out targeted defense and attack.

Under the arrangement of the president, they were divided into attack group and defense group.Ranpo, who is in charge of making action plans in the lecture hall, and Yosano, who has the ability to heal, and the president and Kenji, who have no problems with force, guard the base for the defense team.

Kunikida, Atsushi, and Tanizaki, who are more mobile, form an attack team to go outside to investigate intelligence and search for Kyoka's whereabouts.

And Ari went with Dazai to meet with the people from the Supernatural Secret Service.

Walking out of Wanxiangtang, I came to the outside of the abandoned railway on the ground, and there was an old bicycle parked.The car must be several years old and the seats are dusty.

"This car is still the means of transportation I used to go to and from school when I was in high school, but I didn't ride it after graduation. At first glance, I miss it."

Ah Li walked to the side of the bicycle and waved it casually. Some dust and rust on the bicycle in her vision dissipated conveniently under her supernatural power.

"I remember that it was fine at that time, and I should be able to ride it now..."

While muttering, he fiddled with the front of the bike, and tried to pedal a little with his feet, and found that he could ride not far.Fortunately, I bought the type with reinforced tires on purpose at that time, even if it has not aged in the past few years.

"Come on, Dazai, get in the car, Dad will take you flying."

After the inspection, Ah Li excitedly turned his head towards the young man beside him, his bright and cheerful expression was like the best spring light for a moment, lighting up the surrounding scenes.

In fact, it is not particularly necessary to ride a bicycle to the scene, but since Luanbu has spoken out, it is useless to ride a bike, and Ah Li feels that it is time for Dazai to show his true skills.

Dazai, who was staying next to her, blinked curiously, pointed to himself and confirmed, "Me? Are you giving me a ride?"

——The back seat of such a short bicycle, where can he put his 1 meters long legs!

However, Ah Li stuffed him into the back seat without any reason, she always did what she wanted, no reason needed.

"Etc., etc……"

Dazai let out a howl from behind, and just as he was in his stance, he felt his entire upper body fall backwards suddenly due to inertia, and he quickly wrapped his arms around Ah Li's waist like a weak heroine in a story. To stabilize the figure.

In just a split second, the bicycle carrying the two rushed out of the underground passage, and a dazzling white light burst into their eyes.

If someone can clearly see their appearance at this moment, they will be able to see the petite girl pedaling selflessly in front, and the long-handed and long-legged young man in the windbreaker who has to huddle in the back seat aggrievedly. The bangs were blown to the back of the head by the strong wind, exposing the smooth forehead.

It's a pity that the speed of pedaling the bicycle was so fast that an afterimage was formed on the body of the bicycle. People who didn't know thought they were racing here.

"This, this feeling is not beautiful at all—"

Dazai, who had completely given up on maintaining his image, was full of wind with just one mouthful.

This is not a youthful and romantic campus story, but a sand sculpture theater where the genders are completely reversed.

"This is Fast and Furious, what beauty do you want!"

Ah Li said without turning back, the long hair at the back of his head kept sticking to Dazai's face, almost suffocating him.

Although it was not bad just drowning in the sweet fragrance of hair, but out of the dignity of a man, Dazai didn't want to admit defeat so easily.

"Miss Li, let me drive you! My driving skills are guaranteed, trust me!"

Dazai was talking nonsense without blushing, but he still put his head around her waist without giving up, trying to see the road ahead clearly.Who knew that the moment he opened his eyes, he felt a sudden bump in the car, and Ah Li drove the front of the bicycle onto the guardrail of a sidewalk.

"If you want to grab my steering wheel, don't even think about it." Ali maintained a wonderful balance, galloping on the guardrail like flying.

"...Miss Li? The bicycle lane doesn't seem to be here?"

Dazai finally understood what other people felt when he was riding in his own car before. To sum it up accurately, it would be three parts thrilling and seven parts life would be worse than death.

That's what he is now.

The wheels are parallel to the railings that are almost as wide as the tires, just like performing a tightrope walk, and it is easy to fall out if you are not careful.

There are already a lot of passers-by who stop and watch their extreme sports dumbfounded.

"Don't move around, if you shake again, you're going to fall—" Ah Li yelled in front, then turned the front of the car and rushed down a gravel-covered path, "Sit tight, I'm going to rush down!" Already!"

"wait--?!"

Totally unable to wait for a good mood to brew, Ah Li led him straight down the high slope.Occasionally hitting higher stones, the bicycle will jump up slightly due to the impact, draw a curve in the air, and continue to rush straight down.In the end, she even raised her arms high, freed her hands controlling the handlebars, and let the bicycle rush down with her.

"Hahahaha, I am the wind—"

Ah Li excitedly raised his arms and shouted, his voice drifted away amidst the sea breeze.

I don't know when the sound of Dazai behind him disappeared. It seemed that after a heavy object made a 'bang', there was only the noise of something being dragged on the ground, and the car body suddenly became a bit heavy.

"Dazai, why haven't you spoken?"

After descending the steep slope, the bicycle re-entered the smooth coastal walk.Ah Li, who was holding the handlebar of the bicycle, looked back distractedly, and found that Dazai, who looked like a dead dog, was being dragged behind the bicycle. His bandage happened to be stuck on the back seat of the bicycle, and he was dragged for an unknown how long.

"Dazai—"

Ah Li hurriedly braked, put down the stand and walked around to check.

Dazai was lying on the ground dying, already out of breath and out of breath, the sand-colored windbreaker was worn torn by the gravel, and he described it as very miserable.

Ah Li tremblingly stretched out his hand to touch his face, and was grabbed by Dazai with the last ounce of strength. Perhaps because he felt that his time was running out, he said his last words affectionately here: "Miss Li, please tell everyone for me. , I am really happy to meet you in this life..."

"...It's because I insisted on playing such a dangerous move that caused you to be like this. You are so stupid, why didn't you say it earlier. Don't worry, I will tell everyone that you looked very peaceful before you went."

One second later, Ah Li continued following the atmosphere.

"——Do you think I will say that?" She grabbed Dazai's collar immediately, "Don't pretend to be dead, get up for me!"

"Wow, wait! Neck, neck is strangled!"

So Dazai, whose blood was thicker than anyone else, only had time to pat the ashes on his body, and was carried into the car by Ah Li again.I thought that I would once again embark on the trembling Huangquan Road, but I didn't expect that Ah Li rode very smoothly this time.

The wind blowing from the beautiful coastline was soft and quiet, gently brushing their cheeks.

With every surge of the blue and white waves extending from the side of the water, the mind gradually becomes calm, as if even the soul has turned into a harp, which is gently caressed by every gust of sea breeze.

Dazai silently sat on the back seat of the girl's bicycle, and asked a question out of the blue: "Miss Li, things are going well with Mr. Ranpo recently, have you confessed to each other?"

The bicycle that was riding well made a sharp creaking sound in this question, and the body of the bicycle could not control its position on the road.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who confessed? How could it be possible? Who will confess to me!"

Ah Li immediately performed a mental explosion.

"When Ms. Li gets flustered, she's always so cute that she can't talk incoherently." How could Dazai not see it, and with a light smile, she exposed the emotions she concealed under the surface.

"No!"

Ah Li was going to refuse to admit it, but soon, she couldn't help muttering distractedly: "What, you suddenly mentioned my relationship with Ranbu..."

"Because you two are always flirting in the detective agency, and everyone is guessing when you will actually be together."

All of a sudden, Ah Li's blood surged up, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Who, who is flirting!"

The bicycle almost broke through the white guardrail by the sea and went straight into the water, but Ah Li turned the bike around at the last minute.Perhaps because she felt that her performance was written on her face, she then quietly lowered her voice with guilt, and the cat's curiosity was probing: "Is it really so obvious that he and I look like it?"

"Miss Li wants me to say 'yes', right?"

Dazai whetted his appetite with a grin, and almost provoked the idea of ​​letting Ah Li sink his body into Yokohama Port.

"Ah, wait, don't ride to the seaside... Actually, Ms. Li, if you want to make significant progress with Mr. Ranpo, you may wish to discuss it with me. I can give you advice from a man's point of view."

Only then did Ah Li gradually stop his murderous intentions, and asked in a non-concern tone as much as possible: "What suggestion? Come and listen."

"Would you like to take a one-day trip with me to die in love? The girl you like is very close to the same sex other than yourself. This subtle way can stimulate a man's self-esteem."

Ah Li immediately lowered his face and dismissed this bad idea: "Forget it, I don't want to be paired with you, a man who is promiscuous everywhere. You must be able to tell it at a glance."

"Try it, maybe it will have a miraculous effect. The psychology of jealousy can be said to be a tried and tested weapon to promote the relationship between lovers."

There was silence for a while, but she still refused.

"Forget it, you should do such a thing with a girl you really like."

"There is no such girl."

"Don't you often have women come to your door to deliver bombs? What about my friend, have you never had a heart-to-heart relationship with anyone?"

"There used to be, but it's all lost."

The young man's voice suddenly became a little erratic.

They rode bicycles to the Yamate area of ​​Yokohama, which has a lot of slopes.Extending from the seaside to the hillside, there are many mountain villas and Western-style pavilions where you can overlook the harbor from the windows.

And in this secluded and quiet grassy slope, the white tombstones used to commemorate the dead.

Ah Li didn't reply, speech is something that should be created when human beings need it.And the person sitting behind her now does not need others to disturb the long-closed door with pale words.

"Someone said to me, [Whether it is on the side of killing people or saving people, nothing will happen that can exceed my brain's prediction. If it is the same on both sides, just be a good person. 】”

In this quiet process, only the sea breeze is blowing, the bicycle is moving forward silently, but the young man quietly makes a sound as if being pulled out of his thoughts by the wind.

The desire to confide was not born suddenly, as if it was just meeting a friend who was sleeping on the hillside, and smilingly told each other's past stories to reminisce about the past.

"Actually, for me, justice or evil doesn't matter, it's just because someone told me that the side that saves people is better."

"Then your friend is pretty good."

"Miss Li also thinks that the side that saves people is better?"

"Nonsense, of course it's better to save people."

The girl replied without hesitation, without any hesitation.

The pedals under their feet are sometimes too lazy to step on and freeze in the air. Even so, the wheels will continue to roll forward due to inertia, and the rotating axles will make a sound of rolling.

Just like the world that keeps going, even if some people stop in the middle, others will continue to move on.

"I still know this kind of thing."

Ah Li faced the sea breeze with his back on his back, and slowly stepped on his bicycle.

"You may need thousands of reasons to kill someone, but you don't need a reason to save someone. Living next to warm and beautiful things, one day, you will realize that the whole world is surrounded by tenderness."

Dazai listened quietly to the sound of the rollers turning, and after a while, he searched for the soft smile that hadn't dissipated in the air: "You're right."

After a while, Ah Li still talked a lot: "Maybe, something worth looking forward to will wait for you someday in the future."

"Is this really possible?"

"Maybe, you see, everyone in our detective agency is waiting for you to open up."

The young man in the back seat was obviously stunned by this sentence, and then this unexpected emotion turned into small water droplets, which fell on the bottom of his heart, moistening the dried up concave soil.

He laughed uncontrollably, feeling the complex emotions of the imminent reunion with a betrayed friend soften a little.

"Hahahahahaha...Miss Li, you are a girl worthy of people's hearts."

"I only know now, it's too late... Ah, it's here!"

With a sudden stop, Ah Li handsomely threw a drift on the ground with his bicycle. The rear seat of the bicycle that was leaning forward almost formed a 90-degree angle with the ground, and Dazai flew out just like that.

"Wow ah-"

Hitting the ground like a meteor, Dazai rolled around and found a pair of shiny leather shoes in front of his vision.

Dazai, who was lying on the ground, made an elegant and enchanting side-sleeping position, with his head resting on his palm, and greeted the people who came.

"Hi, long time no see, Ango."

The young man full of intellectual aura pushed the round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and led two of his subordinates to complain to him.

"Pose even if you wrestle...As expected of you, Dazai."
