world's best detective agency

—There is nothing more irritating than you.

Zhilizi has heard similar sentence patterns no less than ten times in this month alone.

Counting from the first encounter, there is nothing more annoying than this, and it is even more innumerable.

For example, "It's unforgivable for those guys who rely on me for business to secretly eat up the burger and not remember to give me one!"

"Ah, although at that time, I just ate the two big bags of snacks you bought for me, Chiriko, but when I went back, I suddenly smelled the aroma of hamburgers, but I couldn't eat them. There was only a pile of wrapping paper left in front of me. Really There is nothing more irritating than this!"

"Don't worry, Zhilizi! I don't know how to overeat, and I still have a lot of space to pack hamburgers—may I take a detour to buy it now, but I'm so tired from walking, my feet are sore, and I hate walking, I want to rest—Chiriko, lend me some strength!"

Complaining, he grabbed her hand in random steps, approached naturally, and put a little weight on her body.

The clear voice is continuous, and there is no sense of fatigue, and the vitality is so strong that it can play dodge ball a hundred times in a row.

There are various reasons for Ranpo's anger, from food that was never reserved for him, to boring incidents, and stupid criminals who don't cooperate.

This time it was Poe.

Chiriko stared at the angry Ranbu.

He frowned tightly, his slender eyes stared over, his cheeks were bulging like a chipmunk eating, and he was stuffing a handful of nuts into his mouth, and his cheeks became even more bulging.

The grip on her became more intense, making it hard to move her wrist, trembling slightly, Chiriko couldn't help frowning.Ranbu relaxed again with a displeased face, and gently rubbed the fastened part with his thumb.

"call--"

Chiriko sighed softly.

Unlike those ordinary angers, this time the anger was real, but there was a deliberate element.

Ranpo's speech just now was a bright reminder.

—From now on, try to get you to ask as soon as possible.

——Using an order, let me immediately write off all the complaints and anger about everything before, that's fine too.

People can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

In the same way, it is difficult for her to coax her intentionally angry and purposeful random steps, which is one of the ways to get her to make a request as soon as possible.

If you don't follow the "correct answer" to coax him, the consequences will be "serious".

Poe on one side was silent, trying to digest the praise and anger of Luanbu, showing a look of happiness and displeasure, breathing became cautious, and subconsciously covered the raccoon's mouth with his hand.

The atmosphere that is supposed to be enjoyed wholeheartedly is like an iceberg, the outer layer constantly melting, giving off cold, stagnant molecules.

Let alone work properly.Even if it is a plausible commission, a famous detective will be passive and sabotage.

Zhilizi was determined, and quickly freed his other hand, picked up the phone and tapped twice to dial a number.

Luanbu let out an even more dissatisfied moan, staring at the elementary school students who said "you actually complained to your parents", "how could this be", "this wife is too much", "I'm even more angry, super angry" glare.

He immediately hung up the button at this moment, and the other party would call back soon and had to pick it up.

Predicting her actions, he first snatched the phone and controlled the contact tool, and then he would only suffer a more severe and terrifying storm.

Ranpo's mouth pouted higher, and he looked away.

After three consecutive beeps, it was connected.

A dignified question came over.

"what happened?"

"Hello, Fukuzawa-san."

In the address book, Fukuzawa Yukichi is one of the contacts that Chiriko specially added characters before the name to make it the top contact.

When they met for the first time and formulated the detailed rules for borrowing the world's No. 1 detective, Fukuzawa Yukichi finally told her: If there is something wrong, you can contact him at any time.The implication is that if Luanbu is too self-willed, causing great trouble to people, or making mistakes, he can give certain "suggestions".

The name is "suggestion", but it is actually "criticism".

In fact, it is just a very ordinary "statement of facts".

In the eyes of Miyazawa Kenji, a newly recruited investigator of the Armed Detective Agency, it is a "swearing" that can make Ranpo stop for a second.

An ordinary statement of facts was misunderstood as a scolding—after all, it was Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Combined with Fukuzawa Yukichi's calm and dignified face, even a super friendly greeting will become extremely majestic.

Chiriko tried curiously, what kind of punishment would he get if he overdid the chaos——

Clapping the palms with a ruler, punishing standing, deducting special bonuses, restricting eating snacks, and giving targets for completing the commission next month... Chiriko was thinking about the possible answers Fukuzawa Yukichi might give.Fukuzawa Yukichi thought for two seconds, then asked her what kind of punishment was appropriate and effective.

It was a scorching summer day, the hottest afternoon of the day.

Golden light streams in from the wide-open windows, and the breeze carries scalding heat.

The unbearable rustling of cicadas could be heard outside the window.

Zhilizi was wearing a cool light-colored short skirt, with fine sweat on her forehead.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was sitting directly opposite, wearing a green kimono that would not change throughout the year, and haori was the darkest color that absorbs heat.

His face was calm, without a trace of sweat on his cheeks, like a lifelike statue of art, without a temperature sensory center to perceive hot or cold.Wearing a full set of kimono, summer does not sweat, and winter does not feel that the clothes are thin.

It is worthy of being a super strong warrior who does not need air-conditioning and is calm and naturally cool.

She had just passed the office area of ​​the Armed Detective Agency, and she couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Armed detective agencies should have no rules about clothing, as long as the individual feels comfortable.

Her new purchases for Ranbu were loose cotton short sleeves and a sunshade jacket similar to a small cloak.

While the investigators seem to aim to emulate Fukuzawa Yukichi, Kunikida and Yosano are still in the same long-sleeved attire.

Osamu Dazai, who had changed out of the sand-colored windbreaker, rested his chin on the desk, and his whole body became especially soft, like a puddle of melted snow, sending out the signal of "I want to die like this".Osamu Dazai lazily raised his hand towards her and made a greeting gesture, and then Kunikida yelled, "Dazai, since you are fine, hurry up and get this report out!".Chiriko heard Dazai Osamu's veto from a distance, "No. This weather is perfect for dying from heat."

Chiriko thought about it.

Looking out from the wide-open windows of Fukuzawa Yukichi's reception room, there is an unobstructed scorching sun, unscrupulously devouring people's feelings and patience.

Pedestrians on the street walked in a hurry, or held up umbrellas, or hid in the shadows cast by shop signs and eaves, and fanned their faces with their palms.Rather than really reducing the heat, it serves more as a relief.

Few people would go shopping in the hot afternoon.

The busiest one was a newly opened cold drink shop, and there was an advertisement drawn with colorful crayons at the door.

The congratulatory flowers to celebrate the opening are placed on one side.The staff, dressed in fluffy white doll costumes, distribute balloons and leaflets professionally, attracting customers, bouncing and bowing.

Zhilizi was chewing on the red bean-flavored popsicle bought from a cold drink shop, the sweet and icy taste gradually melted away, refreshing.

"...as that?" she suggested.

"Wear a doll costume as the mascot of the store?" Fukuzawa Yukichi followed her gaze.

"You can only watch others eat, but you can't eat it yourself. For Luanpo, it is enough to call it an extremely harsh punishment. Playing as the mascot of a cold drink shop for a day, no, one afternoon, or an hour... Luanpo To be able to hold on for an hour is pretty amazing."

Zhilizi hesitated, and the time was gradually shortened in her mouth.

As she spoke, the extraordinary Luanbu was approaching quickly, the sound of footsteps slammed, the door was slammed open and the greeting was very loud.

Luanbu burst into a big smile, holding a bunch of ice creams of different flavors in his arms, which he just ran downstairs to buy at the cold drink shop.When he came upstairs with her, Luanbu, who was behind her, only biting a popsicle, held up his little brown cloak with both hands—it was not just unbuttoned because of the heat.She is wearing a cool short skirt, and there is a risk of losing her nakedness when walking up the stairs, so she should have such considerations.

In the details that she doesn't pay attention to, there is an unexpectedly caring and gentle gentleman.

Chiriko recalled Ranpo's super cute side, and said:

"Well, Fukuzawa-san, you should have seen on the morning news that one of the culprits in the one billion yen theft incident was successfully arrested and brought to justice."

"Ah." Fukuzawa Yukichi responded.

"That Hirota-san has four black cats. Although I have only seen photos, they look very cute and not afraid of people at all. Since the owner has been arrested, he has nowhere to go now." I heard about the progress of the arrest yesterday. , Chiriko thought of the unattended black cat, and now Sato is taking care of it temporarily. She saw a report on SNS this morning that she had no time to take care of it and recruited a new owner.

"Well, I see. When you send Ranpo back, you can bring them here."

"Okay. Fukuzawa-san, there is one more important thing. Ranpo made a really remarkable reasoning this morning, which surprised everyone." Chiriko used one of the ultimate tricks to lure a famous detective.

Turning around in a chaotic step, the puffy cheeks couldn't help but gradually shrunk.

"Ranpo." Fukuzawa Yukichi called out for Ranpo.

"...President." Luanbu responded.

"Well done. Work hard." Fukuzawa Yukichi gave a very brief response.

"it is good!"

Luanbu looked over with eyes that you really can't help, and inadvertently glanced over the other side of the slope, and returned to a lively tone.

"Whether it's a famous detective, it's hard to refuse Chiriko, or it's hard for Chiriko to refuse, I'm number one in the world!"

The author has something to say: *It’s hard to refuse Chiriko→Since you want to use that method to make me happy, then I’ll be happy*Chapter 54 Ranpo who was punished for wearing a doll costume, super cute!
