After I retired, I became a Butei clerk

"Ahahaha, it feels so good to come out and play."

As soon as he got off the train, Edogawa Ranpo stretched himself, very satisfied.

He found that it was an extremely correct idea to bring Shiratori Eri, and she prepared everything he wanted along the way. This was simply the most satisfying trip for a detective, and...

Edogawa Ranpo almost wanted to snicker, but he didn't know that Dazai, who always felt that everything was under his control, suddenly found out that Eri Shiratori had been abducted by him. It's interesting to think about what kind of expression you will show when you don't have any.

"Next, take this tram."

Eri Shiratori compared the route map of the circuit with the address in her hand, and confirmed the direction of the bus to wait for.

Well, after staying in this world for a long time, mastering how to ride a tram has become an essential skill for her.After all, there is still a famous detective who can't ride a car at all and often gets lost is following her. If she makes a mistake, they will be lost together.

After comparing the routes again, Eri Shiratori bought two tickets, comforted Edogawa Ranpo who suddenly wanted to eat ice cream, and promised to buy them for him when he got there.

At the same time, in order not to complain about walking too far, Shiratori Eri and the others took vehicles all the way there, and finally came to a mountain hotel, which is where the murder occurred in the case received by the detective agency. place.

There are already policemen here who are busy making evidence and investigating the criminals. After receiving a call from Eri Shiratori, they spare no one to receive them. It is the police chief who is in charge of this case.After being surprised by Shiratori Eriko's sense of existence, he immediately began to communicate with Edogawa Ranpo.

"My lord detective, I'm finally looking forward to you."

The chubby officer was wiping his sweat in the hot weather, and called Edogawa Ranpo in awe, as if he had heard of his reputation elsewhere.

He was overjoyed at the arrival of Edogawa Ranpo, and repeatedly asked him to solve the case quickly. After all, the longer the delay, the more troublesome the problem will be.

"It's easy to say~"

Edogawa Ranpo is in a good mood now because he ate the ice cream that Eri Shiratori bought as soon as he got off the car. He squinted his eyes and waved at the police chief, "Then take me to the scene of the crime quickly, I want to solve it sooner." Prisoner, and then go out to play."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

The chief of police immediately led the way, and Eri Shiratori wanted to go along with her, but after looking around a few times, Edogawa asked her to stay where she was, or do her own thing.

Hearing what he said, Shiratori Eri stopped obediently, and watched Ranpo Edogawa walk into the hotel with that person.She stood in the shadow under the tree, took out a map from her backpack, and compared the situation she saw in the Yokohama space-time channel before, carefully calculating the location.

Finally, she looked at a point on the map, thinking, the seaside of Kanagawa?

It seems that I can go to the beach with Mr. Detective, and I need to prepare a swimsuit.It seems pretty good to play in the sea and on the beach in the hot summer.

After deciding on the next travel route, Shiratori Eri stayed quietly under the tree, waiting for Edogawa to come out in disorder.In just ten minutes, Edogawa Ranpo, who always walked with squinted eyes, was sent out respectfully by the chief of police, but the expression on his face was very unhappy.

What's going on here?Shiratori Eri wondered.

She watched Edogawa walk over in a hurry, and complained when she came up, "What, such a simple case can be seen almost at a glance, but after spending so long, these people didn't find so many flaws! Thank you!" I also looked forward to it a little bit, there will be a different kind of challenge."

The police chief who was still standing next to them was almost ashamed, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't say a word of excuse.

Seeing his appearance, Shiratori Eri thought that he was doing his best for the common people, and he really couldn't see it and wanted to solve the problem, so he pinned endless hopes on Edogawa Ranpo, so he calmly changed the subject, "After all There are many ordinary people, but there is only one Detective-sama."

"That's right," Edogawa Ranpo was coaxed by her words and became happy again, then looked at the map in Shiratori Eri's hands, and said, "Why, have you decided where to go? "

"Well," Shiratori Eri pointed to the place she had chosen long ago, and motioned Edogawa to look at it, "I want to go to the beach, do you want to come together, Mr. Detective?"

"Yes, yes, but I promise you, you have to buy all the snacks that Mr. Detective wants to eat."

"Ok."

After bidding farewell to the police chief, Eri Shiratori and Ranpo Edogawa drove down the mountain again.

In the taxi, after dealing with the chatty taxi driver, Edogawa walked up to Shiratori Eri quietly and said to her, "Master Detective said that he will show you a superhero." Reasoning, right! Don't you wonder why I didn't let you see?"?

Although Shiratori Eri didn't understand what he meant, she still nodded.

Originally, she was pulled here because of Edogawa Ranpo in the name of taking her to see super reasoning, although she felt more like taking an overly smart child out of the house to play.But since he said it, he didn't let her in to watch the scene here, and didn't let Shiratori Eri see him launching super reasoning, which is indeed a bit strange.

I don't know if it was Edogawa Ranpo who sensed that she didn't want to go in that moment, or saw something unusual.

"Because the detective figured it out from the very beginning. The murderer in that murder case wasn't just the person I caught in the hotel. He made two-handed preparations to lure that person out. You saw what I meant at that time." Right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing there waiting for someone, right!”

Eri Shiratori looked at Edogawa Ranpo's smug face, and shook her head calmly.

Sorry, she really didn't see what you meant.

"Hey?"

Now Ranpo Edogawa half-opened his eyes in surprise, "Then why didn't you go in with the detective? You didn't ask me what's going on?"

Aren't adults always questioning his decision to change at will?

"Because I thought Ranpo-san saw that I had no intention of going in."

Shiratori Eri spoke out her inner thoughts honestly, but Edogawa Ranpo was stunned by her words, a little angry, his voice became louder, and he almost shouted, "So that's it, you don't want to see my Super reasoning, the famous detective is angry, the kind that can't be coaxed without lemonade!"

He turned sideways, with his back to Shiratori Eri, ignoring her.

"Have you talked enough? Both of you."

Seeing the guests chatting desperately in the back seat, the taxi driver in front suddenly laughed, his voice full of malice, "Didn't you realize that the route was wrong?"

"Humph."

Edogawa Ranpo replied to him with a disdainful snort, "The famous detective never memorizes such irrelevant things as the route. Your taxi driver doesn't memorize it, so you still come to ask me?"

Eri Shiratori followed him and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, but I think it's the duty of the taxi driver to remember the route, and it has nothing to do with tourists like me who come to Kanagawa for the first time."

The driver felt that his IQ was despised by the same meaning expressed by the two of them, and his face turned red and blue. When he saw that Edogawa Ranpo and Shiratori Eri didn't care what he would do, he suddenly became aggressive Dafa took out a gun from under the seat and pointed at them, "Get out of the car."

"Oh, this is what you used to deal with the victim in that hotel. Let me guess how you committed the crime. Shiratori, you have to read my super reasoning seriously, you understand."

Edogawa Ranpo ignored his words, seeing Shiratori Eri nodding to show that she heard, he leisurely took out black-rimmed glasses from the pocket of his windbreaker and put them on, then opened his dark green eyes, with a cold light flowing inside , He looked at the driver without blinking, and said without thinking how the driver used drugs to commit crimes.

From the old grievances between him and the victim, to the reason why the murderer who was caught in the hotel didn't confess that he and his accomplice, the driver, almost reproduced the scene at that time.

This greatly irritated the driver, causing his mediocre and featureless face to twist slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I still hate guys like you who think you have a little talent and despise others ,go to hell."

He wanted to fire the bullets and shoot them directly, but found that there was no response after firing the gun a few times, only the clattering sound of crochet hooks.

Only then did the driver look in horror at the gun that he had managed to hide, and then was overwhelmed by Eri Shiratori's calm action of throwing the bullet clip out of the window.

"how can that be!"

How could someone remove his bullet clip in this environment, he obviously put it well all the time, and he didn't see the woman do it when he got it in his hand.

"Although I don't want to say it, but when I first got in the car, I thought you were weird and kept looking at the seat. So when you are interested in talking to Mr. Detective, I took it by hand. I took it out, took it apart and put it back in again, as for you not finding it, it’s probably because my sense of existence is too low.”

Eri Shiratori calmly explained the reason, which made the driver's hands tremble angrily, "So the conversation you had earlier was actually deceiving me, didn't you say it on purpose?"

of course not!

Edogawa raised his eyebrows in disorder, closed his eyes again, and did not speak.

He already knew that the driver was an accomplice, and he just wanted to see what he was going to do. In fact, he also told the police chief that he was going to arrest this murderer who was bound to fall into his own trap.The reason for talking to Shiratori Eri is because at a certain moment when he was dealing with the taxi driver in the car, he felt that Shiratori Eri seemed to disappear in place.

The panic at that moment made him end his psychological process of searching for the murderer, and subconsciously found a topic to talk to her. As for what he said, he himself felt messed up and extremely strange.

Anyway, he wouldn't talk about this reason, and the nonsense words were too embarrassing for Mr. Detective.

But no matter what that fleeting feeling was, whether it was his illusion or whether Shiratori-Eri had almost disappeared before his eyes, he would find out.

Because the famous detective is omnipotent, he will definitely find out what happened to the sense of disobedience at that moment just now, and he will never let Shiratori Eri disappear for no reason!
