The world's No.1 detective doll

The location of the commission is a huge villa on the mountain in the suburbs of Tokyo. The client is the housekeeper of the owner of the villa. The content of the commission this time is to ask Mr. Ranpo to investigate the disappearance case on the mountain recently. Except for everyone from the Armed Detective Agency In addition, the butler also invited a very famous detective in Tokyo.

The important reason for this entrustment is that the investigation time given by the other party is very short and the incident is very serious, and the young master of the host family just happened to bring the members of the club here for special training in the past few days, so the client invited Luanbu to come here for special training. In addition, other members of the Armed Detective Agency were invited to protect the safety of the young master and his friends.

After skimming through the email sent by Kunikida, Sakurako walked to the foot of the mountain with her luggage in her bag.

This mountain is privately owned and has not undergone any development. Every scene has retained its original and most authentic appearance. The morning fog still has a hint of coolness. The morning light is cut by the dense branches and leaves of the forest, and scattered The ground is full of strange things.

Yingzi stood in the forest and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Ah, I feel much better now."

It will take some time for the rest of the detective agency to arrive from Yokohama, so Sakurako took the lead up the mountain with a random step.

"What... the result of this kind of competition is obviously beyond doubt."

The young man's noisy voice was mixed with a voice that was familiar to Yingzi, and Yingzi slightly probed through the gap between the lush branches and leaves to look not far away.

Once again thanks to [Superior Takeshi] for bringing her vision far beyond ordinary people, Yingzi clearly saw the gray and white shuttle between the trees.

Very familiar clothes.

"Hey! Endurance is your advantage, Atobe!"

"Isn't this a good opportunity for you to exercise? Huh? Huadi?"

"Yes."

"Although that's what I said, it's too much to say anything in this way..."

"Senior Xiangqian and Atobe are also doing it for us."

"The following is the top..."

"Feng is still as good as ever."

It was indeed Yingzi's familiar voice, with a strong Kansai accent and a deep magnetic voice that did not match her age.

Yingzi stretched her neck hard, trying to keep her face from being blocked by the branches and leaves, and raised her voice, "... Yushi?"

"Stupid! Why don't you just go over there!"

"..."

right.

Sakurako suddenly realized.

The tall and thin boy subconsciously turned his eyes to the source of the sound. He adjusted his glasses and saw Yingzi, a white goose who was about to bend his neck into a song of heaven.

"Sakura?"

Both parties obviously didn't understand why the other party appeared here, Yingzi first raised her own doubts.

"Why are you here?"

"Ah, it was Atobe who decided to take us to the mountain for a special training during the Golden Week holiday. No, it is obviously more strange for you to appear here than me. As far as I know, this mountain is privately owned by the Atobe family. property."

...The private property of the Atobe family?

Yoshi's minister is the young master who brought his friends to the villa for special training? !

Yushi and his friends are the ones the members need to protect? !

Sakurako was shocked.

"It's a commission from the detective agency."

Shinobu remembered the contents of the email Sakurako sent him a few days ago.

Dolls, Armed Detective Agency.

Then this makes sense.

"Hey Yushi! This is the sister next door who often makes lunch for you!"

Xiang Ri's eyes suddenly lit up, and he jumped briskly behind Shinobu and poked his head out.

"Hello! You must be Yushi's partner, Kohidake, right?"

Yingzi, who can be regarded as half a childhood sweetheart, can often hear some information about teammates from the other party. The description of Renzukou is connected with the handsome faces in front of her. Yingzi can easily call out every personal name.

"I'm Sakurako Kasuga, a member of the Armed Detective Agency, and a disciple of the famous detective Mr. Edogawa Ranpo. This time I'm here to investigate the disappearance and protect your safety."

The Armed Detective Agency did not have a great reputation in Tokyo, and the teenagers in front of them obviously expressed doubts about whether the thin and petite Sakurako could protect them.

Renzu didn't respond, and even slightly hooked the corners of his lips as if he had thought of some good idea, "Do you want to join our game?"

"what match?"

"Naturally, it's a competition that combines speed and endurance!"

The one who spoke was Keigo Atobe, the head of the tennis club. The boy's appearance was extremely aggressive, with a kind of insolent and gorgeous beauty.

"That's right." Ninzu took the opportunity, "The first one to reach the villa is the winner."

"The winner..." Yingzi blinked, looking expectant, "Is there any prize?"

"Ah...? Prizes? Although the result is already a foregone conclusion, but since someone asked, then... I can grant one wish of the winner, how about it?"

"Any wish?"

"Of course!"

"I'll join!"

"Senior Haruhi." The tall, silver-haired boy approached Yingzi a few steps worriedly, and slightly leaned down to talk to her, "The road up the mountain may be a bit difficult, if you feel tired, please let me know, we can take you there Cable car ride."

What a polite boy!

"Don't worry! I've even thought about what I want to wish for!"

"Hey?"

The smooth mirrors seemed to be reflecting light, and he walked slightly closer to the two people who were talking.

"Feng, you don't have to worry about her."

"But Senior Ninja..."

"That's right boy! Compared to me, you should worry about yourself!"

"...?"

Feng's request to help Yingzi carry the bag was rejected, Yingzi patted her chest confidently, and the corners of her mouth rose wildly.

Another member of the trace selection department also snapped his fingers confidently, "The winner is...my uncle."

"puff--"

Ninja, the culprit, Yushi couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at, Yoshi?"

"……nothing."

He couldn't help but want to see the deflated look of Atobu.

Edogawa · Seeing everything · Ranpo stuffed the broken candy into his mouth, his cheeks were a little bulging, "You actually want to use supernatural powers to bully children."

"No one said that abilities cannot be used during the game, right?"

"..."

Of course, except for Shinozu, no one knew that Yingzi had supernatural powers.

Maybe they don't believe in the existence of such supernatural phenomena at all.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ranpo, I will work hard for your happiness and comfort in the future!"

"...?"

"Game start--!"

With Atobe's order, the teenagers took a deep breath and started climbing the mountain.

As Atobe said, mountain climbing is a test of speed and endurance. In addition, observation of the surrounding environment is also essential.

Everything in the undeveloped mountain forest can become an obstacle to the mountain, whether it is a steep slope, lurking tree roots or protruding rocks.

In the beginning, it was the easiest stage and also the stage that required the most energy conservation. Everyone was kept at a close distance, including Yingzi who hadn't used her ability yet.

Although she didn't use supernatural powers, over the years, [Superior Takeshi] has greatly transformed Yingzi's body, so compared with this group of sports teenagers who often train, Yingzi's physical fitness is not inferior or even better.

Feng walked by Yingzi's side from the beginning, looking at her from time to time to ensure Yingzi's condition.

To Feng's surprise, Sakurako was very relaxed, and even had a faint tendency to overtake Atobe and Ninzu in the front.

Not only that, she was even humming happily, without any sign of fatigue.

"I once thought it was over, because there were black-tailed gulls screaming at the pier, disappearing with the undulating waves, pecking at the past and flying away."

"I once thought about it, because the apricot blossom quietly bloomed on my birthday. If I took a nap under the shade of the sun, could it be turned into dust together with the dead insects?"

"It's pretty nice to sing."

In order to maintain balance, Ranbu was stuffed into Yingzi's arms, and both of them tightly grasped Yingzi's cuffs.

"really?"

"It's similar to Dazai's song of dying for love."

"Mr. Dazai's song of dying for love? Is it nice?"

"Well, maybe you'll hear about it later."

Strange anticipation increased.

The road halfway up the mountain suddenly became much steeper, even the two best candidates, Jijibu and Ninzuzu, were struggling a little bit. Feng once again turned his worried eyes to Yingzi, and before he could say any words of concern, Feng was caught by the sight in front of him. The scene swallowed back the words in shock.

In order to meet Ranbu's expectations, Sakura jumped around the stones and branches on the ground, walking on the steep mountainside like walking on the ground.

Ranpo, who has super insight and observation ability, and Yingzi, who has the limit of physical strength that human beings can reach, the two of them are like the best partners arranged by God, but in the blink of an eye, Yingzi caught up with the front track Ministry and Shinobu.

"There are protruding tree roots in the direction of nine o'clock in front."

"Wow, huge rock."

"Ah, it's a snake."

"This fruit looks delicious..."

"Mr. Ranpo, don't just pick the fruit and eat it, it will kill you!"

"The tear mole boy and the glasses boy look very tired."

"There is a dirt pit two meters in front of the right."

The teenagers were panting and sweating profusely, but Yingzi still didn't feel tired at all.

Several people were dumbfounded looking at Yingzi's relaxed look.

"Ah, I saw the villa."

"Speed ​​up, Mr. Ranpo?"

"It doesn't matter what kind of thing it is."

Yingzi walked a few steps quickly and surpassed Atobe, then turned her head and blinked at the arrogant young man, as cunning as a little fox.

"Time to show real technology!"

"...?"

Extraordinary ability, [Superb Wuji]!

The dark red light that ordinary people can't see enveloped Yingzi's body in an instant. Atobe only saw Yingko clenched the doll inside, and then arched her body and rushed like a cheetah ready to go. Going out, the speed was so fast that Atobe, who had excellent dynamic vision, saw only an afterimage.

In almost a few seconds, Yingzi ran hundreds of meters, climbed to the top of the mountain, and even stood in front of the villa with a calm expression and waved towards them.

This, is this the speed that humans can achieve?

A few minutes later, the teenagers climbed up one after another, staring at Yingzi panting.

"I won~"

Atobe raised his eyebrows, although the boy lost the game, he was still open-minded.

"Ah, my uncle keeps his word. Tell me, what is your wish?"

"I want a Barbie dream mansion!"
