The world's No.1 detective doll

Yingzi staggered and collapsed on the bench by the street, she looked down at herself.

His hair was soaked in sticky blood and clinging to his neck, the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, his shirt had more than a dozen cuts of different sizes, his legs were clotted with coagulated blood, and his socks were also stained. half red.

Simply embarrassed.

The severe pain from the back of the head, cheeks, throat, back, and legs ate away at the consciousness she was holding on to all the time. Beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead. Yingzi's face was pale and frightening. .

pain.

Ranbu lay in her arms and stared at her worriedly. On the screen was the recipient's newly replied email.

Humming, Dazai came out from the alley, followed by Yosano who was arranging his cuffs. In the depths of the alley lay those men in black who originally planned to kidnap Dazai.

"Tsk, why did you become like this?"

Xie Ye walked forward with some distress, stretched out the drenched bangs on Yingzi's forehead, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped off her sweat and blood little by little.

"Oh~ So it's better to exchange it~"

"With Yosano-san and Dazai-san."

Sakura's voice was exhausted and weak, and Dazai stepped forward with a smile, and gently touched Sakura's head.

"Thank you for your hard work, sleep well, Sakura~"

The moment Dazai touched her, the severe pain in her body and the powerful force supporting her consciousness were instantly pulled away, Sakurako breathed a sigh of relief, and finally leaned over and passed out.

When she woke up again, she was already lying in the medical room of the detective agency. Sitting beside the bed was Kunikida who was holding an ideal but didn't know what he was writing.

"woke up?"

"Well……"

Yingzi sat up covering her head, and the other party handed her a glass of warm water.

"Thank you."

Her body has been washed, and her clothes have been changed into Naomi's clothes which are too big for her. Turning her head, Ranpo is not by her side, besides her, there is only Kunikida in the room.

"Mr. Kunikida...how long have I been unconscious?"

The young man glanced at the watch on his wrist, "...fifteen hours, 48 ​​minutes and 21 seconds, the president of the school has asked you for sick leave."

So, it's already day two?

"Then... what about Mr. Ranpo?"

"In the conference room."

Kunikida stood up from the closed notebook, "How do you feel? If there is nothing serious, then go to the meeting."

"Well, there's no problem."

Following Kunikida into the meeting room, the material related to the supernatural organization pal was projected on the big screen.

After greeting everyone one by one, Sakurako walked to the place where Ranpo was and sat down. After Naomi handed her a document, Tanizaki continued to explain.

"According to the information provided by the Ability Secret Service Section, the current members and abilities of the pal organization we know are as follows."

The leader, Kentaro Sato, has the ability to control humans by turning them into puppets.

The strategist, Edward, has unknown abilities, but he can obtain information in some way.

Yingzi glanced at the photo on the big screen, the military division was the man who was tied up by Dazai Wuhuada in the alley that day, and was rescued by other members of the organization.

One of the core members, Baldwin, has the ability to control objects in the air, and is currently being detained by the Ability Secret Service Division.

One of the heart members, Alyssa, has an unknown ability.

One of the heart members, whose name is unknown, has the ability to change the quality of his own legs. Kenji was injured in the battle with him.

One of the heart members, Hodder, has unknown powers.

"This is the information about the members we have. The government said that there are only these six main members of pal."

Tanizaki controlled the projector and played the next slide.

"They advocate the idea of ​​wisdom first, and the IQs of the members of the organization are generally higher than ordinary people. Since two years ago, they have been looking for detectives and people with high IQs all over the world, and persuaded them to join the organization."

"If the other party resists, then Sato Kentaro will turn them into puppets to manipulate those people. If those famous people make them dissatisfied, then the organization will carry out so-called 'judgments' on those people who do not deserve their names, and also It's killing."

"And during this process, if they encounter someone who hinders their actions..." Tanizaki glanced at Yingzi, "They will also directly kill him."

"Pal came to Japan a month ago, because the leader is Japanese, so he came to Tokyo with a very clear goal, where a large number of detectives gather."

"Their first two targets have been poisoned, and they are still being rescued. The current targets, Mori Kogoro and Edogawa Conan, are protected by the Supernatural Secret Service Division and the local military police in Tokyo. They have not yet succeeded."

"According to Mr. Sakaguchi, the person they are most looking forward to and most wanting is..."

"Mr. Ranpo."

Tanizaki's voice fell, and all the members present put on a dignified expression.

"It seems that one of their heart members, Baldwin, was arrested, and Sakura-chan, who directly caused this incident, will also be targeted. And they know that Mr. Ranpo has become a doll, and they can only communicate with Sakura-chan. This matter."

Yu Xie Ye frowned, "How about letting Mr. Ranpo and Sakura go hide in Po's book for a while?"

Kunikida shook his head, "No, the close friends around the girl are all ordinary people without supernatural powers, if the other party threatens her with this, it will be troublesome."

"I'm afraid this is a protracted battle." Tanizaki tapped on the big screen, "The leader of pal Sato Kentaro is an extremely cautious person, Sato will spend at least a month planning for the objects they focus on, and For Mr. Ranpo... I am afraid it will take longer."

"At the same time, we also need to take care to keep other detectives safe."

"What's more, the opponents are all supernatural beings with higher IQs than ordinary people..." As he spoke, Dun scanned everyone with worried eyes, "I'm afraid only Mr. Ranpo and Mr. Dazai can compete with him."

"And, besides that..." Kunikida pushed his glasses, "Sakurako has asked for a lot of leave this semester, if she applies for a long leave, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the school and her classmates."

Fukuzawa folded his arms and remained silent for a while, "Since most of the other party's main targets are in Tokyo, all members should be divided into groups."

"Ranpo, Sakurako, and Yosano are the resident team in Tokyo."

"Kunikida, Tanizaki, and Kenji stay in Yokohama."

"Dazai, Atsushi, and Kyoka are the action team, ready to support at any time."

"If there are special circumstances, the team members and tasks can be changed arbitrarily according to the needs, and the actual situation shall prevail."

"Ranpo is the main commander, and Dazai is the deputy."

"In this operation, we must pay attention to the protection of the detectives who are ordinary people, and the safety of Sakurako Ranpo."

"Yes!"

After briefly explaining some matters, the members began to split up. It was already dark when Yosano and Sakura returned to Tokyo.

All the information investigated by the Supernatural Secret Service Division was transmitted to everyone's computer. After dinner, Yingzi, Ranpo, and Yosano gathered in front of the computer in the living room.

"Tomorrow afternoon, we will ask Jiang Gutian to find the witch we made an appointment with earlier. Maybe she will have some ideas about Mr. Ranpo."

"Yeah." Yosano nodded, "Then the task of protecting Mori Kogoro and Edogawa Conan is entrusted to me."

Last time, due to the intervention of the Armed Detective Agency and the Supernatural Secret Service, pal's operation was not successful. In order to prevent them from going down again, the Supernatural Secret Service and the members decided to take turns to protect the safety of the two.

Then Sakurako and Yosano, who are the resident team in Tokyo, naturally became their protectors.

"Mr. Ranpo said that Edogawa Conan is the famous detective Kudo Shinichi that the Japanese police often refer to. Although Pal doesn't know about this, Edward, the other party's military adviser, may find some clues through some means."

There was a pause with Xie Ye, "So, he is more dangerous?"

"Well, that's it."

"Ah, it's really..." Yu Xie Ye leaned on the sofa, "This task is really troublesome. Speaking of which... your information has been processed, right?"

"Well, Mr. Kunikida asked Mr. Hanakou to take care of it a month ago, but... there should be no one who can look up my information, right?"

"Aha?"

Hearing this, he tilted his head in disorder, as if he was dissatisfied with Yingzi's slow reaction.

"You have been investigated many times by the kid wearing glasses and that guy named Toru Amuro, okay? Thanks to the flower bag that hides all your information, otherwise your family will be found out by others!"

"Huh?" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise, and she jumped up from the sofa, "Did Conan and Mr. Amuro actually investigate me?"

"Otherwise, why do you think they would target you so much?"

"Needle, for me?"

Sakura blinked.

Have it?

I didn't feel it.

"……Fool."

Yosano propped his chin and tilted his head to watch Sakurako's movements. In her eyes, Sakurako was just talking to a puppet.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ranpo to become like this one day."

"Ok?"

"Become a lifeless puppet in the eyes of others, and can only communicate with a strange girl. Hmm... Two completely unrelated people have an intersection and bond..."

There was a pause with Xie Ye, and then he looked at Yingzi's face, "If Mr. Ranpo can't change back in the future, what should we do?"

Yingzi was taken aback when she heard this, as if she had never thought about this question.

Just going through every day without thinking...

"Hmm... I don't know."

"Then..." Yu Xie Ye suddenly had a smile in his eyes, "You may have to take care of Mr. Ranpo for the rest of your life?"

"Hey, hey?"

The romantic word "Lifetime" made Yingzi suddenly blush, and she faltered and didn't know what to say.

She never thought about her future.

I never thought about who I would spend my whole life with.

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Ranpo is not responsible for you like this."

"No, I, I..."

"Sakura - I bought you a necklace~ Come and see!"

Ren Zu Erina's voice came from the balcony of the house next door, and Sakura stood up from the sofa in relief, her movement of running away was vaguely flustered.

"coming!"
