Don't get in the way of my marriage

Under the banner of celebrating the newcomers' entry into the club, Luanbu filled most of the cake into his stomach contentedly.

Then, he was full.

"Nobunosuke---my stomach is so uncomfortable----"

Lying on Yuan's lap on his back, walking around to reveal his obviously bulging belly, he frowned and hummed softly.

"Didn't the famous detective predict what would happen to him after he ate most of the cake?"

Saying so, Yuan still stretched out his hand to help Luanbu rub his stomach, which was about to bulge into a ball.

Fukuzawa Yukichi has become accustomed to the scene of Ranpo inhaling desserts unrestrainedly and leading to overeating, but the difference today is that the person rubbing Ranpo's stomach has changed from himself to Yuan.

Akiko Yosano, who vaguely guessed the relationship between the two from the interaction between Ranpo and Yuan, raised his hand and asked.

"Well, are you two brothers?"

"brother?"

Enjoying the horse-killing Ranpo, he raised his head and glanced at the questioner, "Ranpo-sama is not Nobunosuke's younger brother!"

I don't know where this kind of questioning pokes at Ranpo, the originally docile black cat suddenly exploded.

Nobunosuke is the president's senior, and Ranpo-sama is the most reliable support member under the president, brother or something, wouldn't the seniority be messed up like this!

"Then in the eyes of Ranbu, what is our relationship?"

Yuan asked curiously.

Ranbu got up and sat on Yuan's lap, and said with a firm face, "Of course you are Grandpa Nobunosuke!"

Shinnosuke... grandpa? !

With Yosano Akiko pupil earthquake.

"Grandpa Nobunosuke" himself was shocked by Ranpo's speech and didn't know how to make an evaluation for a while.

The only one present who could remain calm was Fukuzawa Yukichi who remained unmoved by relying on his martial arts accumulated over the years.

Strictly speaking, based on Senior Yuan's actual age, he is indeed a grandpa who is chaotic.

Fukuzawa Yukichi thought seriously.

Yuan, who thought that the worst thing was also an "uncle", was gloomy.

Grandpa Shinnosuke, the big characters seemed to have wings, flying up and down in front of his eyes non-stop.

Yosano Akiko, who was second only to Yuan in the shock, calmed down the shock in her heart, and her eyes shuttled back and forth between Yuan and Ranpo.

The phrase "Grandpa Shinnosuke" just now was a joke, right?

Mr. Yuan seems to be only a young man in his early 20s, how could he be Luanpo's grandfather.

However, the current situation does not look like he is joking with himself.

"Master Luanbu wouldn't make such a foolish joke."

Putting the big hand that Yuan didn't know when he stopped massaging back on his stomach, signaling him to continue, Luanbu found a comfortable position and lay down again, and touched a box of yogurt beside him.

"It's a different ability or something, but it's nothing compared to Ranpo-sama's 'Super Reasoning'."

Hearing this explanation, Yosano Akiko was slightly relieved.

If it is explained by supernatural powers, it is indeed a very normal thing.

It's just that I didn't expect that among the few present here, the oldest person would be Mr. Yuan who looks so young. Is it the ability to change the appearance? This should be the ability that most women dream of.

"Well, but, I..." Nobunosuke, I don't want to be a grandfather yet!

"Misunderstanding your age is a very bad thing, don't be deceived by your appearance, you know, Nobunosuke."

Luanbu looked like a little adult, holding a yogurt box and pointing at Yuan who was in distress.

Fukuzawa Yukichi next to him also nodded slightly, agreeing with Ranpo's statement.

Senior Yuan sometimes lacks the prestige of an elder.

Yuan: I feel that sometimes you don't respect me as an elder.

"Okay, okay, it's snack time next, do you want to try this, it's delicious, but I can only give you a piece, come on, hold out your hand."

"Ah, thank you, it's really delicious!"

"Ranbu, don't eat too many snacks at night."

"But if you don't eat it today, you will miss the best time to enjoy it."

The source who is still rubbing Luanbu's belly: It's obviously a movie for four people, but I can only be a belly rubbing tool with no emotions.

Give me respect for the old man!

Ranpo: Nobunosuke should not rely on the old to sell the old.

……

After resting for about a month, Yuan received a new commission.

It was a commission from Tokyo.

The magician under the moon, Kaito Kidd, the famous mystery novelist, Yusaku Kudo, these are the only two mission targets mentioned in the envelope.

The commission this time comes from the second person mentioned in the letter, Yusaku Kudo.

He said in the letter that because of his reasoning, he successfully disrupted several theft plans of the Kaitou Kidd, causing the latter to threaten his family, so he hoped to hire Yuanqian to assist in the capture of the Kaitou Kidd and protect him. family.

After reading the entire letter, Minamoto rubbed the edge of the letter paper.

People like Yusaku Kudo, who has assisted the police for a long time and used his reasoning ability to deal with difficult cases, would hire himself instead of asking the police for help when encountering such a situation. This behavior alone is very suspicious.

Although Yuan did serve as Mori Ogai's bodyguard for two years before, he is actually an out-and-out intelligence provider.

What's more, in the past two years, he only announced that he was out of business. He is sure that the novelist in Tokyo will never know.

So, abandoning the reliable police and going to the doctor in a hurry to find an intelligence agent who was once a dangerous person to protect his family. What is he trying to hide by doing this?

Throwing the letter paper into the tea cup on the table with precision, the smudged ink quickly stained the light green tea cup to dark green.

After waiting for a while, he picked up the soaked letter paper with his fingertips. Under the loose outer skin, there was actually a piece of anti-dipping paper inside.

What was written on that piece of paper was the real content of this commission.

"Pandora?"

Source looked at the jewel named "Pandora" mentioned on the scrap of paper.

A few years ago, it seemed that someone had heard that the mysterious gem called "Pandora" would glow bright red when placed under the moonlight, and its efficacy could make people live forever.

The content of the real commission can be roughly summarized as follows: Kudo Yusaku hopes to obtain some specific information about Pandora. In addition, he also hopes that Yuan can save Kaitou Kidd from a mysterious organization after he deduces Kaitou Kidd's true identity. life.

Such a commission is really hard to describe.

Spend a lot of money to hire intelligence agents, protect thieves, and use your own family as a cover.

Does Kudo Yusaku do this, does his family know, he will definitely cry.

However, under the premise of a generous reward, he accepted the commission.

It was mentioned in the letter that Yusaku Kudo had already rented the villa opposite his home in order not to scare the snake away. On the surface, Minamoto was still acting as a bodyguard to protect his family.

That is to say...

"I see, isn't it just the client's request?"

Before Gen explained that he needed to go to Tokyo, Ranpo, who could tell at a glance what he was going to say next, offered to understand.

At this time, Luanbu's clever little head is quite easy.

"However, I'm going to Tokyo for the weekend too."

I heard that Tokyo has more diverse dim sum shops than Yokohama, how could the best detective in the world miss it.

If it's just the weekend, it's fine.

After thinking about it, Yuan readily agreed.

They might have settled the case before the next weekend.

After explaining clearly to Ranpo, Gen packed Ranpo and some of his daily necessities to Fukuzawa Yukichi's house before leaving the next day.

No way, although two years have passed, Luanbu is still a little cutie who can't take care of himself.

Under Ranpo's exhortation "be sure to pick me up to Tokyo next Friday", Yuan drove to Tokyo alone.

……

Beige Town [-]-chome.

Because Kudo Yusaku had sent the key to Yuan in advance, so he lived directly in the villa opposite Kudo's house.

After all, it is not clear whether the other family members in his family know about this matter, and visiting rashly may disrupt the other party's plan.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the entrusted artificial rattan Yusaku came to visit on his own initiative.

Yusaku Kudo, who had already imagined the appearance of the other party before coming here, was a little surprised when he actually stood face to face with Gen.

He was able to get in touch with Yuan because he had a lot of connections. Regarding Yuan, Yusaku Kudo still stays on the top of "a mysterious, powerful and undefeated old-fashioned intelligence provider".

And the person standing in front of him now is obviously a young man in his early twenties.

The so-called supernatural ability is really powerful.

"It's Mr. Kudo, please come in."

Minamoto turned sideways, and politely invited Yusaku Kudo into the room.

"excuse me."

After Yusaku Kudo gave out the meeting gift in his hand, he changed his shoes and entered the room.

The two entered the house one after the other, and Yuan casually put the small gift from the neighbor on the cabinet in the entrance.

"It stands to reason that I, as a newcomer, should pay a visit in person, and Mr. Kudo has spent a lot of money."

Having said that, in fact, apart from some necessary daily necessities, Yuan has nothing else, let alone small gifts for neighbors.

This is just to check whether Yusaku Kudo has been bugged or not before talking about the business.

"It's okay, we will all be neighbors in the future, so you don't need to care about such small things."

Signaling the other party to sit casually, Yuan confirmed that the conversation was not being monitored, and leaned on the armrest of the sofa.

"Pandora is a mysterious gemstone that can show red light when illuminated by moonlight. It is said that it can make people live forever. It is a treasure that a black organization has been pursuing for a lifetime. The relevant information is strictly sealed by this organization, and there are very few insiders. "

Yuan took out a sealed file bag from the small bag beside him.

"This is a record manuscript kept by those who were lucky enough to witness its true face a few years ago, but the person who recorded this manuscript has long been silenced by the organization that was aware of the rumors, so whether this manuscript is true or not cannot be verified. "

With his bug-like abilities, Yuan, who has nothing to do during the vacation, often "travels" around, wherever there is a dispute, there is him.

Although he will not interfere in other people's grievances, Yuan always likes to collect some of their secrets, just like collecting stamps. If someone buys it, he will sell it. If no one buys it, he will keep it for himself to appreciate.

Anyway, except for a few people who knew his real information, even if the others wanted to silence him, they didn't know where to find someone.

Putting the file bag in Yusaku Kudo's hand, motioning him to check it out himself, Minamoto continued, "But even if it's hard to tell if this manuscript is authentic, for the safety of you and your family, it's best not to let anyone know that you Read the manuscript."

There are a total of two commissions, one is information about "Pandora", and the other is to protect the Kaitou Kidd.

From this point of view, this Mr. Thief, who is popular all over the country, is probably discovered by that organization that he knows some information about "Pandora", so it is planned to silence him.

Mr. Kudo really has a sense of justice, even if the person who is about to become a victim is also a criminal, he will not sit idly by.

"thanks for reminding."

After reading ten lines at a glance, Kudo Yusaku put away his surprise in his heart. If the records of this manuscript are true, then it is not unreasonable to name it "Pandora".

This is indeed a stone of evil that is sealed enough to cause world turmoil.

After all, that is eternal life, which means endless life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the desire of countless people.

"Do you need to destroy it after reading it?"

Sources that still have masters are best destroyed.

After all, for Yusaku Kudo and his family, this is not a precious manuscript worth keeping and commemorating.
