world's best detective agency

"call out--"

"Rashomon."

Conan caught a glimpse of a black beast passing by, hissing and elongating, and it instantly grew like a roll of black bandages, wrapping Poe into a black caterpillar.

The caterpillar Poe moved and struggled crookedly from side to side, revealing one eye with a thick dark circle.

"Ahem, where did Zhili Zisang go? The Rashomon below is very greedy. If you refuse to answer truthfully, or lie, then bite off your unwanted left eye first."

Conan froze, turned his head to confirm, and couldn't help but hold his breath.

The source of the black bandage is Akutagawa's black coat.

In terms of the extensibility of the fabric, even the softest and most elastic material can never be stretched from one meter to 100 meters in length—the ability to completely overthrow the existing cognition is to make him sleepless at night and become The reason for pandas.I only saw the Kunikida version of the wishing machine yesterday in a video call, and this morning I received a heavy-packed home delivery.The glass beads, sugar and train tickets imitating Green Dream are enough to prove the existence of supernatural powers.

Video calls are very different from the impact of being there.

At this moment, the supernatural ability was fired twice, first Zhilizi and Ranbu disappeared instantly, and then the black coat transfiguration.

Akutagawa shot without hesitation, and the black beast that turned into a jacket was hanging in the air, grinning sharply, revealing its ferocity.

Conan rolled his eyes.

Osamu Dazai put his hand lightly on his shoulder, lightly restraining his movements, picked up the book that fell on the ground, and smiled harmlessly and brightly.

"How could you be so rude to Chiriko's friends~"

Eh!

Chiriko looked around the quaint bedroom, she had teleported here from the world's number one detective agency.

A moment ago, she had just turned over Poe's reasoning game.

She is good at summarizing information for those who are annoying to turn over the first page.It takes a few minutes to scan a novel that is [-] centimeters thick.Chiriko quickly skimmed through the tenth page: Several passengers were trapped in a bungalow by a snowstorm. The detective suddenly heard a strange sound, opened the door with the only key, and saw a dead body. Possibly a crime—Suddenly, there was an inexplicable suction force, and the body involuntarily approached the page.

Luanbu who was sitting next to her stretched out his arms and flew towards her.

Luanbu's body and arms are slender but powerful.The palm of her hand hurt her a little.

His head slammed into the crook of her neck.Chi Lizi felt that the disheveled black hair was raised up in disobedience, and the ends of the hair were a little bit prickly.

Zhilizi vaguely smelled the faint scent of lime, it was the marble soda she had just brought to Ranbu, which was clear, sweet, and icy cold.

A sense of peace of mind, accompanied by a slightly hot body temperature, continuously spread from Luanbu who touched her body. It was clear and gentle, and it burst into bloom, submerging her firmly.

——With random steps, it is equivalent to playing games with handheld modifiers.

Zhilizi hugged the game modifier back.

For a while, the vision was dim, and I couldn't even see the chaos that was close at hand.

There is no sense of falling, rising, or moving, as if you are in nothingness.

"...Ranbu, are you a raccoon?"

"How can you compare me to a pet! I just bit it lightly, and the raccoon bite hurts so much."

"The problem is not the severity, but why..."

"Draw me into a boring reasoning game without authorization." Luanbu said sternly.

"... Luanbu, I can see clearly that you rushed over."

"I'll be very troubled if you disappear. Zhilizi, you clearly know this—you are the best at using me consciously. I have given you all the special bonuses and transportation reimbursements, and I have to watch you fulfill the agreement. Really, too It’s not worth it!” At the end, the declaration of Luanbu was aggravated, sounding angrily.She couldn't see Ranbu's expression, she could only judge his mood by his voice.

After a while, the eyes suddenly became bright.

Chiriko narrowed her eyes slightly to adapt to the sudden change of light and darkness.

The landing point is a soft bed, without the slightest bumping feeling of falling.

Wrapping her arms around her random steps, she changed into a kimono, with loose dark feathers and light-colored lining, resembling an oversized white rice ball wrapped in seaweed.

Staring at her in a daze, under the warm light, her cheeks seemed to have been smeared with a layer of blush.

This morning must be a rare lucky day.

Ranpo claims to be scared only once in ten years.She had just seen Luanbu with a bewildered expression, and now she saw it for the second time.

The dull and red Ranpo will definitely surprise Yosano and Kunikida.

and many more.

Why are you in a daze?

Zhilizi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and groped for Luanbu's heart.His prized glasses are usually stowed in the inner pocket in this position.

No, kimonos do not have pockets.When wearing a kimono, carry another handbag with the same design and color as the kimono, and store all the odds and ends in the handbag.Handkerchiefs, sachets and a little change can be stored in the sleeves.Zhilizi held Ranbu's right hand, folded his wide sleeves and searched for nothing.On the left, neither.

The glasses are not on Ranpo.

In the end, only a bunch of keys hanging around his waist were found, in an antique style.

Obtained the only key to enter the scene of the incident.

Chiriko looked down at herself.

The knitted sweater on her body turned into a heart-necked dress.

The pure new green stretches down, lining the neck and shoulders as white as her favorite cold ice cream cream cake in midsummer—it was a style that I tried on in a clothing store and would be tempted, and Chiriko didn't appreciate it at the moment In terms of mood, you can tell that there are no pockets at a glance.

Ranbu obediently let her check over and over again, and then watched her quietly.

He should have realized earlier than her that the "spectacles that activate the ability" were missing.

Zhilizi gently straightened her black hair that was curled up in a brisk tone.

"...Sorry, Luanpo, I dragged you into this. How about you being a beauty and I being a hero this time? Although, as an ordinary detective, you must be more reliable than me,"

"I don't want to be an ordinary detective. It's boring and troublesome."

"Then leave it to me. Ranpo, please experience my usual position this time—it's a very rare opportunity~"

Chiriko sat up with a smile and looked around the room, the decoration was gorgeous and elegant.

The clean glass windows are slender, and the outside of the window is a vast expanse of whiteness, which corresponds to the background of the event of being trapped in a certain bungalow by a snowstorm.

The light sources in the room include high-hanging crystal lamps, candles on the desk, and a burning fireplace.

Crystal lamps originated in the seventeenth century.During a snowstorm, the heating is not the central air conditioning system, but a wood-burning fireplace.

The dress on her was a popular dress in the United States in the [-]th century.Coupled with the key with a sense of history, her first impression of this reasoning game is that the time setting is modern.

There are no books or newspapers in the room. Books will have an exact publication time, and the newspaper of the day is the most timely.

More tangible information about the age is very vague.

The age is closely related to the modus operandi, and whether the criminal used unknown technology.

Firearms were impossible in ancient times.There will be no weapons of the future in modern times.Set in the future, that's the hardest to decipher, because anything is possible.Everyone's perception of the future is different. Poe may have set the future with both retro architecture and criminal methods far beyond the current technological level... In short, no matter what happens, it is not surprising.

The possibility of using retro buildings to cover up new technologies cannot be ignored. Chiriko sorted out the clues.

The common practice of narrative tricks is to blur the perspective and time, and deliberately mislead the reader.

Just now at the office, she mentioned Ayatsuji's works, Poe's eyes were covered by the forehead hair, and it was impossible to 100% confirm Poe's emotions based on the eye contact.He was obviously a little flustered, and he had been a little flustered since the probe came in.

She is not good at finding clues, collecting evidence, and analyzing at the physical level, but when transformed into the psychological level, everything becomes extremely simple.

This is the confidence she promises: Poe's creative thinking is clear at a glance.

The reasoning game designed for Ranpo, the ordinary classical school is not feasible, and it will be seen through in one or two hits.

If it was her, it would be designed in this way. In the immersive reasoning game, the blind spot that Ranpo absolutely trusts is set as the prisoner, such as her, such as Ranpo himself who holds the key.

The next step is to test her self-confidence.

before that--

The temperature in the corridor is significantly different from the room where the fireplace is lit.

The dress she was wearing didn't keep out the cold at all, with a heart-shaped collar, short sleeves, and the length was a little below the knees... In other words, the body feeling of this immersive reasoning game is too real.

Zhilizi couldn't help but think of a similar game setting, using the ring as a medium to land on the completely real island of greed.

Poe's powers probably use books or text as the medium to enter into the reasoning game Poe constructed.

There was no wardrobe in the room, and she could not find a shawl.

After slowly dragging the soft bedding, and going directly to solve the matter quickly, Chiriko hesitated for a moment.

Ranpo threw Haori to her.

"Hurry up and fix it, Chiriko! Huh, it's unforgivable to make my glasses disappear!"

"I think Mr. Po's ability may be very useful."

"What's the matter, my super reasoning is the world's number one ability!"

Chiriko wrapped her warm haori tightly.

The design of haori is very loose, and the male haori is even wider.

“Let people enter the novel—isn’t it possible to customize travel services? You can enjoy any scenery without going out, such as a bungalow in a snowstorm, and move this bungalow to a place where you can see the aurora, or a heavy rain, One side is sunny, the other side is cloudy, and the other side is snowing. The four sides have different scenes. It should be no problem to simply set the bungalow into four seasons, put it in the deep sea, above the sky, or even in space surrounded by aliens, right?"

"Since you said so, Chiriko, then give him a chance to take another test. I will seriously ask a detective interview question-how about telling the true identities of everyone who appeared in the office this morning?"
