The world's No.1 detective doll

"Mr. Ranpo..."

"The detective is fine."

The two fell silent again.

It seems that in recent days, they have been silent for longer and longer, no longer as usual, even if they don’t say anything, they can’t feel awkward and silent, and the tacit understanding flowing between the two has become Subtle up.

It seems that whatever you say will become strange, and it seems that everything you do will feel inappropriate.

So what's wrong?

They don't seem like they should be.

Fortunately, the client's home was not far from the detective agency. After a short silence, the two of them arrived at the door of that exquisite small western-style building.

The entrusted case is not a difficult task for Ranpo, it is just to help the client find evidence of her husband's derailment.

Although this kind of entrustment can also be completed by other members, most members are busy with other work, only Ranpo and Yingzi are relatively free, and the latter two have not had much work recently, so Tanizaki had no choice but to transfer the task to Yingzi .

For this kind of commission without difficulty, Ranpo has never been very energetic, and most of the time he refuses without hesitation, but Sakurako promised Tanizaki before he could speak and promised to complete the task, so Ranpo had no choice but to leave The words I wanted to say swallowed back into my stomach.

After all, except when he's cheating and acting like a baby, he basically doesn't say 'no' to Yingzi.

So Yingzi and Ranbu sat in the client's house, the other was a very gentle and virtuous young woman, but the black and yellow complexion under her eyes showed that she hadn't had a good rest during this period.

Maybe it's because I always doubt my husband, so I can't sleep well at night.

"Miss Haruhi, thank you for coming."

"Oh no, I've been late for so long, I have to apologize to you first..."

"It's okay, I'm... used to it anyway."

Oops.

It seems to have poked something that shouldn't be poked.

Then it is time for the client to complain.

The troubles of a woman who is a wife for the first time are nothing more than just a few, coupled with a suspicious personality, the client feels that life after marriage is not satisfactory in every way, whether it is the husband's busy work, too frequent entertainment, the mysterious woman's phone and so on.

Yingzi didn't care about the client's rambling like this, but Luanbu became a little impatient, and it took half an hour to explain something that could be clearly explained in one sentence...

This is obviously a waste of time, right?

"And these letters!" The client got up and ran to the study as if he remembered something, and brought back a thick stack of letters. There was no address written on the envelope, no postage stamps, and no information related to the recipient. "I often find that he secretly hides in the study room in the middle of the night to write these things. When I find out, he will look flustered. He usually hides them where I can't find them. If he left in a hurry today and forgot to lock them The drawer, I'm afraid I can't see it yet!"

"whispering sound."

As soon as the client's words fell, Luanbu made a gasp. He just glanced at the letters lazily and then turned his head to look at the big fish tank in the kitchen.

"They're all useless letters. It doesn't matter whether you read the contents or not, just throw them away."

Ok?

Useless things?

But how does she feel...

"Have you opened these letters?"

"No, because I can't find it normally. Today is the first time I see these... He, is this a letter he wrote to other women? Usually, he often calls a mysterious woman behind my back. , and often go out at night under the name of entertainment, but I called his colleagues and asked, and their company has no entertainment at all recently! That's just an excuse he used to lie to me!"

How do these plots become more and more familiar?

"So... is there any special day recently?"

"A special day? Well...Does it count as my birthday next month?"

what.

That's it.

"Well, let me ask the members of the detective agency to investigate the phone number your husband called recently, how about we call directly to find out?"

"Hey?" The client didn't seem to expect that the method Sakurako chose would be so straightforward. Although she was a little surprised, she still nodded in agreement.

After sending an email to Huadai to explain the situation, the other party quickly sent two phone numbers to her.

In front of the client, Yingzi turned on the speakerphone and dialed the phone numbers one by one.

"Hello, this is Beaty Dress Custom Shop, may I help you?"

"Hello, this is Shane Jewelry, what do you need?"

After calling them one by one, without exception, they were all shops like dresses, jewelry, flowers, etc. The only private number was also answered by a man. The client said that it was his husband's hair boy.

"How is this going?"

Ah, still don't get it?

"You might as well open those letters and read them, maybe you will understand after reading them."

"This, these letters?"

Sakurako nodded, and the client obediently picked up an envelope from the table.

"Ah, it's so troublesome. It's okay to just tell her the truth...Tanizaki is really, it's a commission that even a fool Sakurako can solve, so I insist that this detective come with me..."

"..."

At that time, he was the one who had written all over his face in the coffee shop that he was unhappy after being abandoned, right?

If you don't bring him with you when you go on a commission, I'm afraid Ranpo will turn the detective agency upside down.

Ah, everyone can't hear Ranpo talking.

Then he would only be secretly sulking, and then make trouble with her after she came back.

"It's meaningless to read that kind of letter. Why don't you just tell her the truth, get rid of it quickly and go back to reading manga..."

How can it be meaningless.

Ah, come to think of it, Ranpo seems to have worked as a postman when he was a boy, right?

I heard from the president that he would really pick out those letters with little meaning and throw them away...

It's really like something that Luanbu can do.

Yingzi didn't speak, and couldn't speak, she just quietly waited for the client to read these letters one by one, watching her expression change from doubt to surprise, and then from surprise to touch.

Warm tears rolled down from the corners of the eyes and dripped onto the off-white letter paper, leaving a trail of water.

"I... did I misunderstand him?"

"All of this is just a birthday surprise your husband prepared for you."

No wonder Tanizaki had such a strange expression when he handed over the entrustment to her. This kind of case can be solved only by her brainpower...

But maybe she is just a bystander.

"Thank you! I, I will apologize to him, I have been playing with my temper these days..."

The entrustment was settled smoothly as expected, and Yingzi also took a sigh of relief and stood up to bid farewell to the client.

"But that gentleman is also very romantic. He actually wrote so many secretly..."

"Huh? Those meaningless letters are not worth reading at all?"

"Mr. Ranpo did the same thing before? Take out those important letters and throw them away..."

"What an important letter, it is obviously a letter that seems to be a waste of time!"

"That's not the case. Even if the content of the letter is meaningless, people are still eager to receive letters from others, right? Even if it's just to share some boring bits, or just a few words Concern... as long as you read these words, you can feel the feelings conveyed by the other party."

"what……?"

"I, I don't know how to explain..."

"Anyway, I don't care about this kind of thing, it doesn't matter!"

"But Mr. Ranpo, it's better not to throw away other people's letters casually..."

"Idiot Sakurako! Don't question this detective!"

"Um... what..."

"That's right...aim at the back of her head, it only takes one shot..."

Before he had time to continue to say anything, Luanbu raised his head as if feeling something, and looked around vigilantly, but suddenly his eyes were dazzled by the reflected white light.

How can there be reflective things on the roof that is only used to store sundries?

"..."

The chaotic pupils suddenly shrank.

It's a scope!

Those who attacked the coffee shop were not the only ones who were knocked down!

"Hey, idiot Sakurako! Be careful!"

The chaotic movements froze in place, and everything he saw in the coffee shop flashed through his mind.

——"This comparison...Mr. Ranpo is completely defeated."

——"It looks like a very reliable type."

——"Sakura-chan was saved by a hero just now!! Super-touching!"

Yingzi looked around subconsciously, and when she turned her head, the metallic bullet was already close at hand, and it would sink into her eyebrows in the next second.

"Extraordinary ability, absolutely... um..."

The next second when the dark red light suddenly appeared, a soft touch fell on her lips, and then she fell down with a weight on her body.

For some reason, Luanbu, who had turned back into a human being, pressed tightly against her body, her moist and cool lips blocked her exclamation, and her warm panting was sticky and intertwined, she widened her eyes in astonishment. eyes.

The two of them just fell towards the wall behind them, their heads and backs were completely blocked by the overheated palms before they touched the cold and hard wall, Yingzi was tightly wrapped in Luanbu's arms, and kissed with.

The sweetness of strawberry toffee seemed to come from the touch of her lips and teeth. The next second she blushed, she remembered that after they walked out of the client's house, they ate strawberry toffee in disorder.

"Well……"

The kiss didn't last too long, Luanbu frowned and let out a muffled groan, the warm blood spread rapidly along his shoulders, Yingzi panicked instantly.

"Mr. Ranpo!"

"Well... don't make noise..."

Ranbu just... blocked a shot for her?

When I looked up again, there were only two figures running away on the roof.

Facing a powerful opponent, the sneak attack failed and their whereabouts were discovered, so they could only choose to evacuate.

"Mr. Ranpo! You...you clearly know that I'm fine even if I get hurt!"

But, it will be very painful, right?

Luanbu's face was pale from the pain, and cold sweat couldn't stop dripping down.

It turns out that being injured can be so painful.

So the feeling of being magnified will make people uncomfortable and want to die altogether?

"I'll call Miss Yosano right away..."

He pressed the wound tightly with chaotic steps, but opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

He wants to say,

——Look, not only that kid can do it, but this detective can also protect you.

——Stupid Sakurako is happy and safe is the best solution deduced by this detective.

But his voice was a little hoarse, but he couldn't say anything.

Yingzi's anxious tears couldn't stop streaming down her cheeks, her mouth shriveled in disorder, her emerald eyes were full of grievances.

"...Are you an idiot? Sorry for the interrogative sentence, but you are an idiot."

Even a famous detective is an idiot, right?

It's already so obvious... such a mood.

Want to see her smile, want to hold her, want to be with her all the time.

Will be happy, sad, flustered and jealous because of her.

This kind of sour-sweet feeling that even super-reasoning can't work...

It turns out that I like it.

Luanbu was aggrieved and wanted to make a big fuss, but the pain from his shoulder made him unable to move, he could only bury his head in Yingzi's arms sullenly, and the short black hair followed his movements on her body Rubbed.

Don't go on a date, don't ignore him, don't leave, don't go to that brat.

What that person can do, he can do too.

Protecting her or something, a detective can do better.

and so……

Don't like other people, okay?
