Wenhao refuses to be touched

What could be more shocking than finding out on TV that you've suddenly lost your job?

At that time, I had just finished my night shift, and Ranbu and I slept at home until after 12 noon. When I was preparing to make lunch, I learned about the fire in my part-time job from the news broadcast on TV.

I was dragged by random steps to the vicinity of the Little Happiness convenience store where I worked part-time. The surrounding police were under martial law, and the house that had been burned into ruins was surrounded by yellow tape. Several professionals were investigating the situation at the scene.We mingled among the onlookers, watching the charred bodies of two men and one woman being carried out on a stretcher covered with a white cloth, and placed in the shadows waiting for the police to deliver body bags.

The left hand of one of the male corpses was exposed to the air, and the little finger was missing.

There are three employees in the Little Happiness Convenience Store. Among them, Ms. Hayata is the cousin of the manager Eguchi, and the other is a young man with a slightly gloomy personality. That is Mr. Eguchi, the son of the manager Eguchi.Mr. Koeguchi who greeted me when I handed over work in the morning, as well as the store manager and Ms. Hayata I knew, were separated overnight forever.

The atrium seemed to be blocked by a pool of stagnant water, and there was a feeling of suffocation.

I have witnessed the death of adoptive parents, which is caused by disease and old age, the inexorableness called time.

This is the first time I have seen with my own eyes the tragic scene of an accidental fire that ruthlessly took away three fresh lives, and I deeply feel the fragility of life.

"elder sister……"

I looked at the arm that was being pulled and swayed by the chaotic steps, and moved my gaze upwards. Those green eyes full of worry were looking at me. There was a different kind of impulse that made me hug this little trembling body tightly. juvenile.

"Don't be afraid, Ranbu-chan..."

Don't be afraid, Natsume-on.

The gentle young man who stood on his toes, stretched out his small hands around my shoulders, and clumsily patted my back amused me, and the melancholy in my heart dissipated a lot at once.

"Fortunately..." Luanbu opened his arms and hugged me tightly, I heard him whispering, "It turns out that this is what the kelp head was referring to."

"What is Ranpo-chan talking about?" I didn't quite understand.

Luanbu shook his head, and said energetically as usual: "This is not something my sister should know."

Ah, is it a secret?Then don't ask.

Luanbu, who easily sees through my thoughts, puts two skinny little hands on my neck. The child's body temperature warms my cold neck, and makes me hold his little hands and stick them to my face with nostalgia.

Seeing that Luanbu stopped moving suddenly, I asked him suspiciously: "What's the matter? He looks preoccupied."

"Is my sister sad? Obviously they are not good people, and they want to harm you. You don't need to be sad for their death, you should be happy."

"Hey...you can't talk nonsense like that." I hurriedly covered Luanbu's mouth. Fortunately, the noisy crowd around didn't pay attention to our two siblings. I put my index finger in front of my lips and whispered to Luanbu , "If such words are heard by interested people, they will cause trouble."

With a ignorant look, he yanked off my hand and pulled me a few steps forward, and shouted to the policeman who was maintaining street order behind the yellow line: "Uncle, my sister is an employee of this convenience store, she wants to Know the whole story of this incident."

He turned his back to me, so that I couldn't see the expression of Luanbu at the moment, I only heard him discussing with the police. "My family is very poor. She suddenly lost an important job, and people she knew died. She is very sad now."

It may be because the words of Ranpo moved the other party, or because I was an employee of the convenience store where the accident happened. After whispering something to my boss, the young policeman who was dubbed uncle took the two of us into the yellow line.

Standing closer, you can see the scene of the accident more clearly. The convenience store is a small two-story building. The second floor is used as a warehouse and no one lives in it. It was burned together with the first floor and only a rough outline remains. However, many Japanese houses are made of wooden structures, which shows the ruthlessness of fire.

Wooden structures also represent the rapid growth of fire in the event of a fire, making escape much more difficult.

The Nakazawa police department who was in charge of this incident asked me a few words, and after confirming that I was indeed an employee of this store, they asked their subordinates to take notes for me.

Luanbu stopped him and said, "We are going to the police station to make a record."

The Zhongze Police Department seemed to have a good temper. He stroked Luanbu's hair kindly with a smile, and he was not angry when he was slapped away. "This fire was caused by a short-circuit fire caused by an aging circuit, and it happened to detonate the gas bottle next to it. The timing was so coincidental that the three victims died on the spot without a chance to escape. It was a complete accident. Your sister just did it For routine records, there is no need to make a special trip to the police station."

Of course, it is not right to make notes at the scene according to the normal procedure, but Yokohama is special after all, where the mafia is prevalent, and foreigners in the concession area also have more privileges, and the local city police are more busy dealing with various man-made murders, they are understaffed Such cases are handled with simplicity.

Shaking his head vigorously in disorder, he pulled the hem of the Zhongze police station to make him bend down, and whispered a few words in his ear.The Nakazawa Police Department, who was still smiling, immediately turned dark, and his sharp eyes swept towards me like hooks. When I was at a loss, I pressed down on the police cap and said to the subordinates on the other side: : "Don't leave yet, watch the scene, I will take this lady back to the bureau to make notes."

Surprised by the sudden change of face of the police officer, he smiled happily at me in disorder. "This way my sister will be safe."

Soon, Ranpo and I got into the police car. Police Department Nakazawa and another policeman sat in the front seat. I hugged Ranbu on my lap and whispered in Ranbu's ear, "Did Ranbu see through you?" What is it?"

Because the blow was a bit heavy, and I was in a trance, only now did I realize what was wrong with Ranbu's words.

Was I actually involved in this accident that Ranbu saw?Things like the store manager and the others hurt my heart, and they went to the police station to take notes.

The little boy in his arms is not honest when sitting, he grabbed my wrists around his waist with both hands, and heard him say proudly: "No way, who makes my sister a fool, Lord Ranbu will protect my sister .”

Enduring it, I still couldn't help but put my head on Luanbu's shoulder, and took a sharp breath. It was the same soap scent as my body. "Okay, okay, my sister is protected by Ranpo sauce."

"Yeah, with Lord Ranpo here, my sister will be fine! All bad guys, Lord Ranpo will find out!"

It's so cute - the heart is pounding.How can there be such a cute cat boy in this world!

After arriving at the police station, I was taken into an interrogation room. Because I was not a suspect, a beautiful police officer gave me a cup of tea and a bottle of milk for Luanbu.After thanking me, I inserted the milk straw and brought it to Luanbu's mouth with a disgusted face, and coaxed him a few words in a low voice before he sucked it in small sips.

It took a while for the Zhongze Police Department to enter the door, followed by a subordinate. He locked the door from the inside with a solemn face, and then sat down on the chair opposite me. The subordinate behind him was holding a pen and paper to record.

"Miss Natsume, please don't be nervous. The reason why I am so cautious is because this case is special. Please rest assured that this transcript is confidential and will not let others know the identity of you and your younger brother."

The words of the Nakazawa police department made me seem to smell some signs of the approaching storm.

Luanbu took my hand and brought my distracted mind back to reality.He took a step forward and patted the table with both hands, and said to Zhongze Police Department: "Uncle Zhongze, I told you about the suspicious points of the case. My sister is just a dull idiot. You can just ask me."

"Okay, okay, Ranbu-kun. Haha~ I also have some friendship with your father, so naturally I trust your reasoning ability as his son. Of course, I also hope that what you said is true, this matter The nature is too bad."

"It's too bad to let you keep it a secret for my sister. Well, my sister and I haven't eaten now, let's make a quick decision."

During the back-and-forth conversations between one big and one small, I finally sorted out the real side of the case that Ranpo had seen.It turns out that the reason why the convenience store is called 'Little Happiness' is not to give customers a sense of warmth, but because the store secretly sells an illegal hallucinogenic drug code-named 'Little Happiness'.

And the reason why I became an employee of a convenience store was because the former employees discovered this secret and got rid of it. My unfixed schedule is also to express to customers that I do not sell this kind of drugs during my working hours. During that time, I will meet some official staff who come to check.

As a cover, I was covered in my bones, and the three people who died knew that they were all directly involved in this matter.

"So what Ranpo-kun means is that the force behind the deceased Eguchi is not the port mafia. It is an illegal organization called 'Kanakakai' who provided him with drugs and made the three deceased as offline members. The Eguchi father and son wanted to use this as a springboard to leave the organization and join the more powerful Hong Kong gangsters, and when they found out, they sent people to assassinate them, and pretended it was a house fire accident?"

"That's right, they should have already bought their tickets and are going to go out to hide from the limelight before returning to Yokohama. You can search for their residences and you will find something. The intelligence agents of the 'Chuanzhonghui' have grasped the situation first, and before they act I dealt with them directly that day, if the other party hadn't attacked earlier, the three of them would have disappeared tonight, and my sister who was in charge of the night shift today would have become a scapegoat to bear the wrath of the 'Kawashitakai'."

"This makes sense. From the traces at the scene, the positions and postures of the three deceased are in line with the performance of being blown up and killed by the explosion, but there are traces of gunshot wounds on the vital parts of the body. The bullets on the body should be the assassinated Poached away. The fire broke out at 9:09 a.m., which is the time when most stores are preparing for business, and there are not many people, and it is easy for the prisoners to escape."

"You have also observed the location of the convenience store. You can go in through the small door in the back alley with a little disguise, and go back the same way after committing the crime. If you are careful, you will not be found. The fire is put out in time, and you can do it if you are careful." Find signs of a shootout."

I listened to what they said, and the more I listened, the more scared I became, but I still couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. "If this is the case, is it really useful to leave me as a scapegoat? I don't know anything. How can the loss of 'Kawashitakai' be healed just because of a small shop assistant?"

After asking the question, the two police officers looked at me with complicated and difficult eyes, sighed in disorder, and said with jumping feet: "Of course it's because my sister is valuable! You have become a commodity sold by the 'Kawashita Club', okay?" Well, it’s still a very expensive one!”

"...Huh?? Merchandise, I...?" I pointed at myself, in disbelief.

"Don't you really think that you can find a part-time job with a leisurely and high salary because the store manager is a good person and you are hardworking and capable? They make you often work night shifts so that potential customers can evaluate your value more closely. Those three guys are using you as a show of weakness. After the "Kawashita Club" sells you for a good price, they will be persuaded by Hayata Anko's fiance. They are just three insignificant members, "Kawashita Club" After taking the money and stepping down, the three of them can go back to Yokohama and continue to survive."

Two hours after I left the police station, I stood at the gate holding my chaotic little hands. The hot summer sun shone on me, but I shivered.

For a moment, I looked at the people around me, as if I saw countless scourges, and if I was not careful, I would be thrown to the ground, torn and gnawed.I forgot how I got back to renting a house, and when I really came back to my senses, I was sitting on a soft cushion, and there was an open bottle of wave soda on the low table next to me.

Subconsciously looking for the figure of Luanbu, if I don't see it, I don't know it. I was so scared that I immediately ran over and hugged his waist with one hand to let his feet off the ground, and snatched the kitchen knife from his hand with one hand.

"You, what are you doing! Who told you to hold the knife." With lingering fear in my heart, I put the kitchen knife away and scolded the smiling face.

A 14-year-old boy cutting meat with a kitchen knife is not something worthy of attention. I have already stepped on a stool to cook meals for a large family when I was four years old, but the premise is that the person holding the knife is not walking around.

The pork on the chopping board was cut into different sizes, and the gesture of holding the knife was not correct. I have no doubt that if I found out later, the other party would hold up the cut finger and cry to me.

At first glance, Luanbu is someone who can't do housework, let alone cook. The other side of the so-called genius is low energy in life. There is some truth in this sentence!

Being made such a fuss by Luanbu, how could he have time to think about the case? After driving him out of the kitchen, he pulled up his sleeves and cut the pork into thin slices. He took onions and carrots from the refrigerator and fried them in a pan. The meat dishes were brought out.I didn't eat lunch, and Luanbu and I were already hungry, so we ate with relish the two bowls of noodles in clear soup and fried pork with onions.

This family doesn't have the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, so I said, "This month's part-time salary hasn't been paid, and the family will be sad for a while."

I took 1 yuan for the manuscript fee I got yesterday and gave it to the Ms. Matsushita, and there was [-] yuan left. I spent more than [-] yen in the supermarket. I bought a detachable quilt for the quilt, which is the most expensive large , and the second most expensive snack.

It seems that this month's expenses are going to be in deficit, and I still need to find a new part-time job.

Luanpo was unaware of my financial worries, and said: "Sister, you should think about writing the novel and submitting it quickly, so that we will have money soon."

"I don't have much confidence." The novel is so easy to understand that I don't think Mr. Takeuchi will pay me for the manuscript. "Speaking of which, it turns out that Ranpo-chan's family and the Nakazawa police department are old acquaintances."

"Yeah, I met Uncle Nakazawa when I first came to Yokohama. It was he who helped me contact the principal of the police academy before I entered the police academy. I was kicked out later, so I was embarrassed to go to him, and I kept looking for him. A few jobs won’t last long.”

"That's it, haha~ It's really Ranpo-chan's style." The so-called child's self-esteem.

Seeing that the Nakazawa Police Department is so friendly to Ranpo, if Ranpo was unemployed and went to find him, it is possible to be adopted. It seems that a civil servant with a good economy is much better than me who is poor.

"Sister!" Luanbu put down his chopsticks, squinted his eyes and patted the table and shouted, "You are so easy to understand, do you want to secretly throw Mr. Ranbu away?!"

How can it be!

I hurriedly waved my hands and shouted: "No, no, why would you throw it? No, Luanbujiang is a human being, how can you use throwing to describe it. It's just... If you follow the Zhongze Police Department, you will get a better life."

Luanbu paused, then snorted and said: "No way, Uncle Zhongze is a good man, but his wife hates me very much. There are four children in his family, and I can't afford to raise one more. And he is not my father." My friend, but I have worked with him a few times before, and I respect my father very much."

"Hey, is Ranpo-chan's father a policeman?"

"That's right, my father is a criminal police officer. He is a big man with the title of 'Clairvoyance' in the Japanese police circle. Of course, the smartest person in the family is my mother. My father also said that my mother's reasoning and puzzle-solving abilities are superior to his."

Ranpo has deep feelings for his parents who died young. I learned a lot about his past family from him. For example, his father who was a criminal policeman was always defeated by his mother who was a housewife. At home, the mother is the real one. head of the family.

At the same time, I also know that Luanbu's words of "adults are smart, and I am just a stupid child" are also from the teachings of my parents.

I can understand the thoughts of Ranpo's parents. Ranpo is a real genius. Things that are difficult in the eyes of others are trivial things for him, and the superhuman mind brought to him at a young age cannot be understood The loneliness of acceptance, coupled with the fact that Luanbu is more showy, and he likes to express his thoughts to be admired by others, causes him to do some strange things in the eyes of others, and often causes troubles because he exposes other people's secrets with his unscrupulous words.

Ranpo's parents want to make Ranpo not feel lonely and abandoned by the world, so that he will take what he sees for granted, which is common sense that adults know but will not say to the outside world.They want to use time to guide Luanbu step by step to realize his extraordinaryness, and use the method of boiling frogs in warm water to help Luanbu better integrate into society.

Thinking of this, I am very distressed for Ranpo, and I also feel deep regret and sympathy for the Edogawa couple who died young.I touched Luanbu's head, and the other party had two blushes on his face because he brought up the past, and he seemed to be unfinished.

"Ranbu's parents love you very much." I said.

Luanbu nodded heavily, and said happily, "Of course! Mom and Dad love me!"

If it hadn't been for the accidental death of his parents, under their protection, Ranpo would definitely become a big shot, but unfortunately, the balance was accidentally broken, and Ranpo, who had only received half of his education, was forcefully pushed into the real society from the greenhouse. The cub of ability stands alone on the street with people coming and going, enduring the indifference and cruelty of this world, helplessly licking and biting his wound under the beating of wind and rain.

There are no born perfect geniuses in this world. Those geniuses who have achieved great achievements are often guarded and paid by someone behind them. On the contrary, geniuses will go to extremes, go to destruction or wither more quickly than mediocrity.

Ranbu is worse than the above two, he is half and half.

more vulnerable and sensitive.

I took a deep breath, deeply aware of the greatness of my responsibility.I dismissed the idea of ​​directly telling Ranpo that his IQ was different from ordinary people, and decided to learn from the Edogawa couple who died young, and let him step into society and integrate into society in a gentle way.

I will not let Ranbu fade silently like a flower that has spent the night, falling into the dust and being crushed into mud.

Such a cute and innocent genius boy should walk freely on the glamorous streets and become the object of worship of the world.

The author has something to say: the later Dazai

Dazai (fortunately touching his chest): Fortunately, I was hungry, so I went to a convenience store by the way, and the life-long meal ticket shovel officer who was almost obedient and obedient to hard work was gone

Natsume On (squeeze the back of her neck and drag her away): Come take a bath! The Complete Suicide Manual is confiscated!If you mess around again, hit pp!

Ayatsuji: Oh?Hard work and obedience and obedience?

Ranpo: Dumb-boy!
