Accidental Death

Go back to an hour ago.

After Edogawa Ranpo announced that he was "restricted with supernatural powers", so he was an ordinary person, he seemed to have made up his mind to leave the matter to Ayatsuji pedestrians, and he just nestled on the sofa in the living room. Don't ask.

— wondered how Poe, who gave him the book, would feel about it.

Time passes slowly.

When Edogawa was so bored that he started to fold planes with newspapers on the table, Ayatsuji finally came back.

The young man didn't speak after entering the door, just staring at the remaining blood stains, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Have you found the murderer yet?" Edogawa stretched his waist randomly, and then asked.

Ayatsuji pedestrians glanced at him: "It's so simple that people suspect it's a trap."

The truth of the case is almost clear at a glance, as far as the criminal's methods are concerned, there is no skill at all.And if you look at it as a mystery novel, it will be even more boring.

"Anyway, besides this, there is no other possibility." Edogawa Ranbu said nonchalantly.

Ayatsuji pedestrians thought so too.

He can't deny the truth just because the truth is too simple.

But if you have to talk about the weirdness of this case, it is not without it.

Ayatsuji pedestrians have not yet thought about what the "cursed black cat" represents.

The black cat once appeared in the living room at the time of the crime, and then disappeared afterwards... Does this matter have any special significance?

"Ah," Edogawa Ranpo added as if he suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of which, when I received the letter, he said that this book is a 'very special story'."

"It's very special..." Ayatsuji pedestrians muttered the word silently, but still couldn't get any inspiration and simply threw it aside.

All he wants to do now is point out that the real culprit has left the book, and has no interest in anything else.

In the cellar.

"Mr. Hein killed his wife?!" The policeman looked at Felson Hein in shock, and then turned his gaze to Ayatsuji Pedestrian.

"Hiding Mrs. Hein in the wall you said means..." The policeman seemed to understand something suddenly, looking at the wall behind Ayatsuji pedestrians that seemed to be soaked by the humid environment of the cellar, the expression on his face gradually changed. incredible.

He swallowed, and said in a trembling voice with difficulty: "Has Mrs. Hein been built into the wall?!"

"Well, there was a fire in this house, so it was rebuilt. It shouldn't be difficult to get materials for the walls." Ayatsuji pedestrian said.

"The tools used by the prisoners to move and hide the body should also be in the wall."

"This, it's actually like this!" The policeman was terrified.

"Okay, now that the incident has been resolved, let's quickly dig the wall," Edogawa stepped forward.

——The world in the book is too boring, he just wants to return to the Armed Detective Agency as soon as possible.

In order to escape from the world in the book, in addition to understanding the truth of the incident, there must also be evidence that can prove the crime of the criminal.

But having said that, it is not an easy task to dig out a wall of cement that is almost solidified.

The policeman, who seemed a little terrified by the truth, subdued the struggling Felsen Hein with the handcuffs he was wearing, and then led him hurriedly out of the cellar through the steps, looking for his colleagues who were still here to prepare A tool for breaking walls.

Ayatsuji pedestrians stood quietly in the cellar waiting for the police to come back and tear down the wall to find evidence.

The detective with blond hair and ocher eyes glanced around the cellar, and then looked at the damp wall beside him: "Felsen Hein was angered by the cat and accidentally injured his wife, so he vented his anger while hiding the corpse. It... that cat was also buried in the wall by Felson."

If Felsen Hein was still here, the expression on his face after hearing these words would be very exciting.

The trick he came up with with all his brains and sweat was nothing in the eyes of the detective, who could understand what had happened just by looking at it.

Edogawa Ranpo gave a "hmm" and said: "That's the way it is."

As he spoke, he casually reached out and knocked on the wall where the dead body was hidden, complaining, "Why haven't the police come yet?"

There were two muffled sounds from the wall, and then suddenly, a sharp and ear-piercing whimpering sound came from inside the wall.

Some kind of terrifying monster hides behind the wall, making a hoarse and terrifying call.

The weird and terrifying cry echoed in the empty cellar, like a curse from the undead in hell, which made people's hearts shrank suddenly.

Edogawa Ranpo who hadn't retracted his hand after knocking on the wall: "..."

The policeman who happened to return to the cellar turned pale and pointed at the wall: "This——!"

Ayatsuji pedestrian standing beside him: "..."

The cat buried in the wall was still alive.

...now he finally understands why this is a "special" story.

After two seconds, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help complaining: "Is this a horror novel?!"

But in any case, after successfully confirming that Ferson Hein was the murderer, Edogawa Ranpo and Ayatsuji Xingren managed to return to the real world.

After showing Edogawa Ranpo the way back to the Armed Detective Agency, Ayatsuji left Yokohama directly.

A few days later, Xiongying High School, the principal's office.

All Might held a stack of surveillance video printouts in front of the detective.

"The actions of the enemy alliance seem to be getting bigger and bigger in recent days," Olmert said, "Both Chaobo Niuwang and Andewa's offices have received similar sightings, saying that there are people who claim to be the enemy alliance People are recruiting members."

The Association of Professional Heroes has been paying attention to the League of Enemy since AFO was suspected of being "resurrected". Up to now, the organization's behavior style has gradually stopped hiding its head and showing its tail as before.

The detective casually flipped through the photos, and immediately looked up at All Might: "Where's the news from AFO?"

Genjin shook his head helplessly and said: "There is still no information about him. The apparent person in charge of the enemy alliance seems to be a young man named 'Sigang Muhang'."

AFO is always the most dangerous enemy to the Professional Heroes Association. If possible, they also want to find out the current situation of the opponent as soon as possible.

Ayatsuji pedestrians responded without saying anything.

With AFO's style of conduct, he must have founded the Enemy Alliance to regain his "Dark Empire".

So the AFO will never stay in the background all the time.

It was only a matter of time before he showed up.

However, AFO was so calm this time, and even sent him a letter in a mysterious way, which is really surprising.

"Then, I called you here today because of another matter." Nezu looked at Ayatsuji pedestrians.

As if distressed by what he was going to say next, he frowned unconsciously, "Ayatsuji-kun, last time you said that you asked me to investigate if there was any abnormality in Xiongying... I received a message this morning, there is The teacher said there seemed to be some strange rumors among the students."

"What rumor?" Ayatsuji pedestrian looked at him.

"Recently, it seems that someone is promoting a special drug. It is said that this drug can awaken the personality of the person without personality."

"Awaken the personalityless person?!" All Might was astonished, "It's impossible!"

As we all know, if a person has not awakened his personality when he was a child, he will always be a personalityless person in the future.

In previous cases, there have indeed been drugs that can stimulate people's personality, but it can only make people have personality in a very short period of time, and it will also cause permanent damage to the user's body. It has long been listed as a drug by the police. It's a first-class contraband.

"It is indeed impossible, but the timing of this rumor is too coincidental." Genjin said, his voice was a little dignified, "I doubt whether this matter will have anything to do with the enemy alliance."

All Might immediately thought of the unnaturally high rate of personality possession among the members of the enemy alliance: "You mean... the personality holders in the enemy alliance used this drug?"

"Who is the source of the rumors?" Ayatsuji pedestrian asked.

Genjin said with some headaches: "I don't know yet, the student just overheard it by chance, and didn't see who the speaker was."

"..."

When the three of them were silent, the door of the principal's office was knocked suddenly, and the person came in without waiting for Nezu to make a sound.

"Mr. Nezu, I'm here to submit the list of students who will participate in the review of the Imperial Household Agency this year—ah! All Might, Ayatsuji-kun is here too!" Mike held a stack of registration forms in his hand. After entering the door, he saw All Might and Ayaguo was a little surprised that all the pedestrians were there.

"Well, I'm talking to the two of them about the enemy alliance," Genzu nodded, then walked around the desk and walked to Mike to take the registration form.

He glanced at the number of registration forms, and then looked at Ayatsuji pedestrians with a smile: "The number of applicants this time has nearly doubled compared to before. It seems that the students have heard about the deeds of 'Senior Ayatsuji'."

As a famous family, Xiongying High School has very high requirements for deviation values.Therefore, those who can be admitted to Xiongying are those who can be praised as "genius".

Young people have visions for the future, and no one will settle for mediocrity.

With the precedent of Ayatsuji pedestrians, they naturally want to give it a try.

Ayatsuji pedestrian: "..."

"However, whether you can pass the exam is another matter," Mike shrugged. "It seems that none of the examinations by the Imperial Palace last year were passed."

"After all, the assessment standards of the Imperial Household Agency are very strict," Nezu smiled, "but it is always good to have goals."

"But Ayatsuji-kun is really amazing! Then you can pass the perverted examination," Mike sat down across from Ayatsuji's pedestrians, complaining, "I used to have an assistant in the office who went to the exam, and finally said that he couldn't even pass the exam." I didn’t even see the exam questions, so somehow I failed.”

He said, looking at Ayatsuji pedestrians: "Speaking of which, why did Ayago-kun think of taking this test in the first place?"

The detective didn't seem to have much interest in this topic. While thinking about something, he said absent-mindedly: "It was the people from the Palace Department who contacted me, saying that it would be much easier to investigate the case after I passed it."

"Is that so?!" All Might was surprised.It was also the first time he had heard of it.

Mike sighed: "The assessment of the palace hall will be tomorrow, and I don't know how many people will pass."
