Group Pet Career in Yokohama

"Is it killing people and throwing corpses?" Hill looked at the stone slab covered with moss under his feet, and there was some dust-like powder under the moss.

Hill squinted his eyes and looked around, then fixedly observed the ground under his feet for a while, and came to a conclusion:

After the murder, the murderer put the body under the stone slab, and then sprinkled it with potato flour mixed with crushed moss soil to compact it. It rained for a long time a few days ago, and when the conditions were right, it was easy to grow large moss , camouflaging the newly opened slabs to be the same as the others that have been placed for a long time.

And this alley is very remote, or a dead end, almost no one passes by.Even if you pass by, you can't find the tricks in it.

Very clever way of hiding corpses.

"It's not about killing people and then throwing away the corpses. In that case, it would be very troublesome to just clean up the scene, and there is no use of drugs, because the autopsy will leave clues. The simpler the tools and the more brutal the methods, the harder it is to leave clues. It's the stone over there." Edogawa Ranbu patiently explained to Hill.

Hill looked at a heavy boulder in the corner, which was very smooth under the washing of the rain, and now even fingerprints would not be left. Nature is really an accomplice in concealing all the truth.

It seems that people should be knocked unconscious first, and then placed in the space under the stone slab. As the heavy rain gradually filled up, the victim drowned to death... Well, nature has become a murderer again.

...But how did he find out that there was a corpse in the ground?

Ah - it's a superb insight into details, she nodded knowingly.

As if she knew that she had pieced together the cause and effect of the incident just from Hill's innocent look, Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes with great interest, and looked at Hill carefully.

"Well, that's it, then I'll report the case before leaving." Hill calmly picked up the phone.

This is the new mobile phone that Osamu Dazai gave her, and the one that Mori Ogai gave her has a positioning system.Of course, there must be this too. Before leaving, Osamu Dazai wanted to install a monitor, but she firmly refused.

"Then hurry up, I've been waiting for a long time." Edogawa raised his brows in disorder, but the people who came out of Hong Kong have a sense of justice unexpectedly?

After explaining what happened in a few words, Hill hung up the phone.

"No." Even though he didn't ask, Hill explained to him with a smile on his face: "Just imagine Mr. Murderer's plan that has been carefully planned for a long time, and he was suddenly arrested when he thought he was safe and sound. This reversal only takes It's fun to imagine."

Her smile is pure and flawless, but with a little evil taste.As for whether the police uncles can catch the prisoner, it has nothing to do with her. She just provided a possibility.

"Ha, it's boring to watch too much. Every time I see a crime scene, I point out the criminal in the next second, and those people-I mean the criminals, like pre-rehearsed actors, shout every time. Shouting 'not me' and 'you talking nonsense' every time! It's so loud, can't they do something different? It's boring!"

He talked with all his heart, as if he had found a very suitable audience, or he thought that Hill would understand him, so he unknowingly opened the clip, and muttered in disbelief: "Obviously it's just a matter of putting it on the table. Why do you want to veto something you can understand? Are you fooling me for a fool?"

But it is because I have never been able to understand this world, this superficial and powerless world, that I need a famous detective with special abilities like myself to protect it... So will the little girl in front of me become the source of disaster for this city? ?

"And those policemen, are they the ones who solve the case? They are always misled by the criminals, and they always ask this and that... Do I have to chew the broken steamed buns before they are willing to swallow them... Why do you always ask me to explain boring things that you know at a glance..."

Hill smiled as he continued to complain, without any impatience, her eyes were tolerant and soft. At this moment, she was his most intimate and loyal audience.

It is precisely because he cannot perceive his own specialness that he himself is normal in his world, so what is easy to understand in his eyes, others should understand as well.

Because he doesn't understand that others don't understand anything, when others take the trouble to ask him some "simple" questions over and over again, others will become people who repeatedly do unreasonable things, so in his opinion, some normal and ordinary phenomena It's ridiculously incomprehensible.

If so, you can fully understand his sometimes strange behaviors, where the bull's head is not aligned with the horse's tail.

This kind of cognitive deviation and reversal is really interesting and super cute!

But now it's a little different... who rescued you from that thin cocoon that shut you off from the world?

"It's really annoying..." If you keep playing the piano to a cow, even you will get bored, Hill said understandingly.

"Yeah, right?"

Hill looked at Edogawa Luanbo walking beside him, chattering irrationally, what do you want to eat snacks, I'm so tired, I hate walking, I want to feed the pigeons, I haven't read the comics in the newspaper, why haven't I? Seeing the way out, this is not the infinite corridor...

Super cute, random steps.

Walking, Hill gradually stopped hesitantly.

wrong……

"How can two people who are both lost help each other to get out?"

Hill said in a daze, although he was walking here deliberately to wait for him, but he was indeed lost.

...So this "mutual support" refers to getting lost and going around in circles together?And she didn't want to go out from here, but to find the bookstore run by Mr. Honda.

Hill, who was confused by Edogawa's random steps, finally remembered what she was doing here.

Edogawa Ranpo stopped suddenly, a look of interest flashed in his eyes.

Ha, you have to know that when you first met the president, under his harassment all the way, even if the president tolerated it unexpectedly for a long time, after he said "Uncle, you can really bear it", he could hardly hold back. Living.

"What's wrong? Brother Ranbu?" Hill asked again.

"Ah—well, it's nothing." He stretched his waist, "Isn't there a saying that 'Men and women match, get twice the result with half the effort'?"

He pointed to Hill and then to himself, and said lightly: "It just fits, and it stands to reason that it can save half the time."

Hearing that Hill looked at him in admiration, he nodded: "Oh, so that's the case, this sentence is used in this way, so powerful, Brother Luanbu."

Although she knew this sentence before, she had never been able to understand its principle, let alone apply it to reality.

"Ha, of course, I am the No.1 detective in the world——Edogawa Ranpo." He lifted the brim of his hat and said proudly.

"Wait..." Hill was almost dragged in again, "But our destinations are different, how can we 'get twice the result with half the effort'?"

"But you have to go out from here after you finish your own business, right? Of course, the time saved is the time at that time." Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes and said: "Don't ask me such obvious questions. "

"As for me, just waste some time walking with you, and it can save you half of the time, but don't worry, I won't disturb your work, and I don't have the heart to inquire about your 'little secret'." He was serious , What he said was true, and in fact he did think so.

At this time, Edogawa Ranpo's words were so considerate and understanding. If the members of the detective agency knew about it, the extremely moved tears would have a long history accompanied by the extremely moved mood, even if it was as serious as a blessing. When President Ze heard this, he would definitely say with a soft complexion: "Luanbu has grown up."

"Wow, thank you Brother Ranbu! You are so kind!" Hill put his hands together, believed his words and accepted the kindness.

Then Xiao Xiao paused, and said very naturally: "But don't you already know it? It's my 'little secret', so it doesn't matter."

"Oh?" Edogawa Ranbo opened his eyes, his emerald eyes were sparkling and full of interest, he just looked at Hill for a while, then rubbed his chin, as if he was thinking about something .

She clapped her hands suddenly, "It's decided, you... what's your name?"

He just remembered that after chatting for so long from the beginning to now, he still didn't know the name of the other party, even though 90.00% of them were his home games.

In short, this little girl is quite to his liking—she also loves desserts, can keep up with his thinking, and can play reasoning games with him.

And, it's fun.

——Will not behave incomprehensibly or say annoying words like those strange "baby" no matter adults or children.

These behaviors are sometimes unavoidable even for those around you.

That's why the world needs me, he thought happily.

"Oh Hill."

"Yose! Hill, join the Armed Detective Agency! Be my assistant!"

As he said that, his right hand patted Hill's immature shoulder heavily, like a kind boss comforting his highly regarded subordinate.I have long forgotten how I was told by the president in every possible way when I came here.

"Armed Detective Agency? Although I haven't heard of it...but it must be a very interesting place?" Hill's goose-yellow pupils flashed, and he asked with interest.

After all, most of the understanding of Yokohama and the world comes from Ogai Mori, Osamu Dazai, books, TV and other media, but he has almost never touched on the deeper world. If you don’t ask yourself, They never brought it up either.

Of course, she didn't care too much. The elements of Yokohama's various organizations are similar. Leaders, middle and high-level organizations, missions, battles, and old-fashioned episodes of betrayal, undercover, and resource robbing are like trees in a forest. They are different, but at a glance they are all the same - they are all the same color.

But after the Sakai Jiaren incident, she was a little interested in the military and police, just a little bit.

But this "detective agency" can make Edogawa Ranpo, who hates common sense and useless trifles so much, stay here...it must be a very interesting place, right?

"Oh?" Edogawa Ranbo narrowed his eyes happily, "Good question, then don't pursue it, you haven't heard it."

"Of course it's an interesting place." He pushed off his hat, regained his interest, and briefly introduced with a finger: "Although there are not many people, they are not frivolous. Follow the rules."

Hill understands that it is not easy to get this kind of evaluation from this confident and proud population, but the so-called "rules" probably refers to respecting Ranbu like his predecessors... It is hard to imagine that Ranbu is a person who obeys Well-behaved people.

"Hey, you know? The most important thing in a detective agency is of course the detective, so as the only detective in it, I am the core of the agency." He said proudly with a high-spirited tone, with a wanton smile.

If ordinary people speak like this, even if the tone is plain, it will only give people a sense of discomfort.But it is completely different when it comes to Luanbu, the kind of proud man who is very suitable no matter how much he praises and praises, no matter what he exposes or what kind of feat he makes, it will not be surprising.

"Of course the president is also very important." Having said that, he squinted his eyes with a solemn expression.

Well, it seems that the person who rescued him was the president he said, and gave him a place to belong to, which is great.

Hill's eyes narrowed happily.

"Ah, and the doctor in the society, this is also a very interesting place, do you know how she treats the patients? Let me tell you..."

"Den, Deng, Deng."

At this time, a crisp sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the bluestone slab came from the entrance of the alley.

But the first thing that appeared was not the elegant figure as imagined, but the sharp knife light reflected in such a dim space...
