The world's No.1 detective doll

Today's work has been completed, so Sakurako took her satchel and left with the two youths without any burden.

The detective agency at their entrance was not far from the dessert shop where Yingzi worked. The group of people walked for only 10 minutes, and Yingzi saw the four-story building on the corner of the street.

"Armed Detective Agency," said the sign on the office door.

When Sakurako followed Kunikida into the detective agency with the doll in her arms, there were many people sitting in the room.

"President." Kunikida greeted the silver-haired man standing in the middle of the room first.

As soon as Yingzi appeared in everyone's field of vision, everyone's eyes focused on her—the doll in her.For the first time being stared at by so many people together, Yingzi felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Mr. Ranpo turned his head around as if he didn't care about the serious atmosphere in the room.

"There! The detective is going there!"

"Ah, ah yes."

Yingzi followed the direction that Ranbu pointed to and walked to the desk facing the door, and put the doll in it on the desk.

Luanbu walked back and forth on the table, and then turned his gaze to Yingzi.

"The detective's lollipop is in the second drawer from the left!"

Under everyone's gaze, Yingzi bit the bullet and walked around to the other side of the table, and opened the drawer.

The drawers are full of sweets, chocolates, lollipops, toffees, chocolate bars, fudge, candies, almost all the candies Sakurako has seen in supermarkets are here.

ah this... this...

"Get a strawberry lollipop for Detective Ben!"

"Ok!"

The lollipop is too big for the current Mr. Ranpo, the size of the candy body almost catches up with his head, not to mention the plastic stick as long as his arm.

Luanbu stared at the lollipop in Yingzi in silence for a few seconds, and after confirming that he couldn't even hold it, he sat down on the table like a shameless ass.

"What! You can't eat it like this!"

"The detective can't work without snacks!"

"Wow - if you can't eat it, then I won't do it!"

Why?Why, why suddenly...

The sound of acting coquettishly in chaos kept ringing in Yingzi's ears, the others couldn't hear anything, only Yingzi was flustered.

She looked at the table in a daze, and there was nothing on it except half-opened packages of potato chips and chocolates.

There is no tool to take advantage of.

Yingzi hesitated again, and finally raised her palm to have a look.

The small palm was clenched into a fist, Yingzi put the lollipop flat on the table, raised her fist and smashed it down hard.

Just heard a "bang", and the candy fell apart in the package.

The ball-shaped candy was broken into a size just enough for the puppet to eat, Luanbu took the small piece of pink candy and stuffed it into his mouth, the dissatisfaction on his face was wiped away and replaced by a satisfied expression .

"Ha, if that's the case, Detective Ben allows you to take one too!"

"Really? Thank you."

After Yingzi put the candy in her mouth, she belatedly remembered that there were still many people sitting around, so she quickly pulled out the lollipop from her mouth and looked at the people with "..." faces around her.

"sorry!"

"Don't worry about it." The tall silver-haired man walked up to Yingzi. For some reason, Yingzi felt that he was a bit fierce.

"Hello, I'm Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency."

Fukuzawa Yukichi?This name...is not the one in the history books...

"You, hello."

Although he looked handsome, but the fine lines on the face of the other party showed Yingzi his age, Yingzi paused.

If it is an elder...

Sakurako bowed slightly, "I'm Sakurako Kasuga."

"Miss Kasuga." Fukuzawa nodded towards Sakurako, "Thank you very much for coming here. Chaos is very important to our detective agency, so I thank you for cooperating with us."

"Ah, it's okay!"

Everyone in the detective agency speculates like this: nothing strange happened before turning into a doll, so it is most likely that Ranbu became like this because of the influence of a supernatural power.So everyone's eyes shifted from Yingzi to the man on the sofa.

"Dazai."

"Ah, I see, President."

The tall and thin young man in the camel trench coat came to the table under Yingzi's suspicious eyes, and stretched out his finger to lightly poke the soft belly of Luanbu.

Everyone looked forward to this scene.

Sakurako: ...?

1 minute passed and nothing happened.

"Isn't it a supernatural power..."

Ability.

Yingzi grasped the key words sensitively, and she subconsciously thought of what happened to her.

Is there anyone else in this world with supernatural powers?

So she's not some kind of "monster" and, like some people, possesses special abilities beyond nature?

As if thinking of something suddenly, the tall and thin young man turned his head to look at Yingzi, his eyes sparkling.

"Ah, beautiful lady, are you willing to die for love with me?"

Dazai half knelt down and held Sakurako's hand and put it in the palm of his hand. The moment the two skins touched, Sakurako's body stiffened suddenly. Pulling away, even the limbs felt weak for a moment.

Yingzi was a little dizzy, and then her eyes suddenly went black.

Atsushi who was standing behind quickly stretched out to support the swaying Sakurako's shoulders, Sakurako staggered a few steps and quickly avoided Atsushi's touch and stood up straight, her body was thus freed from Dazai's shackles, powerful The power of warmth is back again.

The feeling of emptiness and coldness came and went quickly, as if it had never happened before, Yingzi rubbed her temples in a daze.

"Excuse me, what did you just say?"

"Ah, I just said..."

"Bastard Dazai! Clear the occasion for me!"

Dazai's words were interrupted, and the chaotic steps on the table did not change for a long time, and the eyes of everyone present were darkened.

It's not the reason for the supernatural power.

Even Ranpo's extraordinary reasoning ability couldn't deduce the source of this strange encounter, and the matter suddenly reached a deadlock.

"And Xie Ye, help them check their bodies first."

"Understood, President."

The tall, short-haired woman known as Yu Xieye pulled her condom and tilted her head towards Yingzi, "Come with me, little girl."

The expression on Yingzi's face froze for a moment, and she froze in mid-air when she stretched out enough to walk in disorder, then turned her head to look at the woman leaning against the door.

"I, do I want to go too?"

"of course."

"No, no need, I, I..."

When Sakurako was racking her brains to think about the reasons for her refusal, Luanbu who was sitting at the table with her legs hanging down suddenly made a sound.

"What you worry about won't happen."

"what?"

When Yingzi turned her head to look at Ranbu, the other party had already opened those cold green eyes and stared at her. This feeling of being completely seen through seemed to make Yingzi's heart skip a beat suddenly.

"Hurry up and take this detective for an inspection!"

"..."

"it is good."

Unsurprisingly, Yingzi's body functions have no problems, while Ranpo is like turning into a real doll, without any signs of life.

Not only that, other people can't see any movements and expressions of Ranbu. Even if he changes his position while walking, in the eyes of others, it is just a puppet moving strangely.

"Oh, this is troublesome."

Dazai lay prone on the back of the sofa, without any worry about this terrible thing in his tone.

Fosser paused.

If the person who establishes this "special connection" with Ranpo is a member of the detective agency or someone they are familiar with, things will be easier to handle, but the other party is someone they have never met or even have no idea of ​​the details... …

"Although such a request is impolite," Fukuzawa Yukichi finally spoke out after a long silence, "but in order to ensure that the matter does not escape our control, can you please stay at the detective agency for a while?"

At least we must find out her moral character, Fukuzawa thought so.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Yingzi's face, "But I have to go to school on Monday."

Or... a student?

"Miss Kasuga is still a student?"

"Yes, I was a sophomore in Didan Gao."

It's [-]:[-] p.m. on Saturday, and there's still a full day left until Monday.

Fukuzawa glanced sideways at Kunikida who was writing something in his notebook, the other party raised his head as if feeling something, and nodded slightly to Fukuzawa.

"Since that's the case... then it's only Sunday, okay?"

This is indeed a tricky thing.

Sakura nodded, "Yes."

'Ding'

The prompt sounded suddenly, Sakurako apologized and found it out of her pocket.

is a new email.

When seeing the sender, Yingzi's tense expression softened a bit, and she clicked on the reminder.

It was to ask her [Why haven't you come home yet? 】Information.

[I may have to stay in Yokohama tonight. 】

Yingzi briefly explained the situation, replied to the other party's message under Fukuzawa's gaze, then raised her head and looked at the serious man in front of her.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No." Kunikida on the side gently closed the notebook and looked at Sakurako, "Leave it to us."

In the following time, Fukuzawa took the members of the detective agency and introduced themselves to Sakurako one by one.

Every time the members uttered a name, Sakurako's expression became strange.

"That..." When the last person's voice fell, Yingzi hesitated and said, "Your names..."

"It's actually the same as those giants in history!" Dazai smiled, "Miss Kasuga must think so."

"what……"

"Just a coincidence."

Coincidence?

If there is only one person, it is a coincidence, so many people...

Could it be that one of the recruitment conditions of this detective agency is to have the same name as Hao?

That's too weird.

Sakurako shook her head to get rid of those messy thoughts, leaned sideways and bowed slightly to the detective agency.

"Karuhi Sakurako, please give me your advice."
