Following the address given by Police Officer Iruma, I came to the door of the Armed Detective Agency.

I had called them in the morning and made an appointment, so I wasn't worried about any problems I might have.After knocking on the door of the office, a young man with silver hair and slanted bangs poked his head out from the crack of the door. After a short moment of stupefaction, he recognized it: "It's Ms. Fujimaru who called earlier, right?"

I smiled at him: "Yes, I'm Tatsuka Fujimaru, and I'm here today to ask the detective for help."

"I am Atsushi Nakajima, a member of the detective agency." The young man named Atsushi opened the door completely, "Miss Fujimaru, this way please."

The moment the door opened, the noise in the office of the detective agency, like a vegetable market, hit my eardrums

"Twist it!!!"

"No, Dazai! What did you pour into the milk just now?! Don't drink strange things casually, you guy who committed suicide in the office—"

"Lick it!!!"

"Mr. Dazai, please speak softly, Kyoka-chan is doing homework..."

"It's okay, Mr. Tanizaki, I'm used to it."

"Hey, how did my safe for snacks get pried open?! Where are the Oreos and Raccoon Noodles inside? Whose Oreos are you eating right now, Dazai?!"

"Take a dip!!!"

……

I nodded to Atsushi Nakajima, and was about to run away: "Everyone seems to be very busy today, so I'll come back another day, Sayunara!"

Atsushi Nakajima was about to burst into tears: "Don't go, Ms. Fujimaru! Our detective agency is not usually like this—"

The little sister who was lying on the desk doing homework said calmly: "Yes, it's more noisy than this usually."

"—Kyoka-chan, stop talking, stop talking! No, Ms. Fujimaru, please believe in our professional level, woo woo woo woo!"

Yes, I have seen the professional level of locking snacks in the safe and twisting, licking, licking and soaking in the office.

By the way, I think the crispy noodles are still delicious (serious face).

Random steps: The little raccoon is number one in the world!

Tun: Is this the time to talk about crispy noodles? !

I was eventually persuaded by Atsushi Nakajima to go back.And the handsome black curly-haired boy who was holding an Oreo happy, twisting, licking, licking, and soaking bubbles was not killed. He hummed a song and sat across from me with the man with golden hair and glasses who wanted to strangle him just now.

"Hello Fujimaru-san, I am Kuniki, a member of the detective agency.

Tian Dupo, next to him is Osamu Dazai. Kunikida pushed his glasses, "You said on the phone today that you encountered a vicious case last night, can you describe the situation in detail for us?" "

I took the hot tea from Atsushi and said thank you.

"Last night, when I woke up, I found that the window of the room was opened at some point..."

[Hi everyone, I am Tachika Fujimaru, 17 years old this year, an ordinary high school girl who has nothing but gentleness.I moved to my apartment in Yokohama from Tokyo one day ago because of my parents' job change.

Both my parents are currently working abroad, so it's just me and my cat living in the apartment.

It is difficult to fall asleep alone in an unfamiliar environment, but it is another matter if there is a cat under the bed.I reached out to touch the pillow, and Tantan bit my finger unexpectedly.

Tantan is a key-color puppet cat. Unlike the fairy-like two-color puppet cats on the Internet, the key-color puppet looks like Siamese, with dark black fur on its face, like a cat. A little coolie who came back from mining for coal.

We, Tantan, are also coal diggers. We walk around the apartment silently with a dark face every day. At night, we jump onto my pillow without a word, sticking out our neatly trimmed pink and tender legs. Claw began to step on the pillow, and made a "grunt snort" sound from his throat.After stepping on the pillow into its satisfactory shape, Tantan lay down roguely, flicking his long fluffy tail, completely ignoring me who was stiff and hesitating whether to lie down or not.

So I kept two pillows on my bed.

On this day, there were still only two living creatures, Tantan and me, in the apartment.Tantan is a standard tsundere kitten with a black face and a dark heart. I listened to its regular breathing in the darkness of the bedroom, and couldn't resist reaching out to touch its belly.The hair on Tantan's belly is very long. I feel like I'm touching a cloud that has gone down the mine. This cloud with a bad temper is really angry. After catching my palm, he got his hand—it should be said that he got his claws—and immediately lowered his head and began to bite me.

I immediately pretended to be in pain and cried out: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to be bitten to death!"

Because my wail was too shrill, Carbon Carbon let go of her mouth in a panic after gnawing down symbolically. It tilted its head and observed me for a while in a humane way. In the dark, its cat eyes were shining brightly. After staring at the kitten for a while, after realizing that I had cheated on it again, Tantan angrily turned around and pointed his butt at me, and angrily flicked my long fox-like fur tail Face.

I let out a perverted laugh, and stretched out my hand to stroke some of Carbon Carbon's fluffy back hair: "Good night, Carbon Carbon."

Carbon Carbon responded after a long silence: "Mi."]

……

Kunikida pushed his glasses, and he hesitated in his words: "Miss Fujimaru's cat sounds really cute, but what does this have to do with the commission?"

I sighed: "Don't worry, we will talk about it in a while."

Nakajima Atsushi helped me refill the hot water in the teacup, and after I blew on the hot air on the cup, I took a light sip.

"Generally speaking, Carbon Carbon will sleep next to my pillow all night, and its schedule is the same as mine. Sir, would you like to sit down and listen?"

I don't know when the silver-haired man in kimono who quietly walked into the office froze, obviously he didn't expect that I would be the first to find him.Everyone in the detective agency jumped up: "President! When did you come?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency, the unsmiling silver-haired old handsome guy in kimono in front of me coughed: "...when she talked about touching Tantan's stomach."

I cast him an inquiring look.

Look at his expression, uh...

That's right, this person must be an old cat slave!

However, Gudazi has seen through everything. jpg

The old handsome president kept his hands in his sleeves. He slowly sat down on the single sofa and nodded to me calmly: "Please continue, Ms. Fujimaru."

I cleared my throat: "Generally speaking, Tantan will sleep next to my pillow all night, and its schedule is the same as mine..."

[Tantan is an overly arrogant cat.It doesn't want me to rub its pink meat pads, pinch its ears, kiss it, and let me bury my face in its soft, fluffy belly hair to suck.

But it stayed by my side on countless lonely nights while my parents were away on business.Unlike other nocturnal cats, Carbon Carbon's schedule is the same as that of humans.It stalks around during the day, grabs toilet paper, pushes my favorite mug off the shelf, and then neatly arranges crumbling ceramic shards by the door of my room with a look of innocence.At night, Carbon Carbon will curl up next to me quietly, and sleep with me until dawn on its exclusive pillow. 】……

The president slowly closed his eyes: "Really

It's a cute little cat. "

There was a rare softness on the man's cold face.

The detective named Edogawa Ranpo approached slowly, his black hair narrowed his eyes and glanced at me first, then at the president.

I always feel like I smell resentment.

Well, if you want to get close to a cat slave, you'd better show your cat side properly...

Luanbu knocked over the snack bag on the table with one paw.

Me: ...No need.

[When I woke up in the middle of the night, the pillow was empty.

It was 4:44 in the morning and I remember it very well because I glanced at the alarm clock as I turned on the night light on the bedside table.

After turning on the light, I squinted at Tantan's exclusive pillow, and reached out to touch it.The cat's body temperature remained on the pillow, and it hadn't been there for long.

The door of the room was still closed, and Tan Tan did not go out.

...so where did it go?

The cold wind in the middle of the night made the hairs on my back stand on end. At this moment, I suddenly realized one thing: I closed the window before going to bed, but now, the window is open.

I was sure I hadn't forgotten to lock the latch when I closed the window, but at this moment, the glass window was half-opened, and the cool night breeze moved the curtains, hunting and fluttering like ghosts.I jumped out of bed with bare feet and went to the window. I wanted to close the window again, but I habitually cast a glance out of the window.

...A slender, white figure in the shape of a human stood quietly at the corner of the street.His barely discernible face was pale.

As if realizing that I was looking at him, Bai Ying turned around slowly and looked at me.

What he held in his arms was the missing Tantan. 】

"So..." Kunikida pondered, "This person came to your house in the middle of the night?"

I nodded.

"Pry open your window?"

I nodded.

"It took so long to steal your cat?"

I shook my finger seriously: "You are wrong, Tantan is a beautiful and cute long-haired fluffy puppet cat that everyone wants to suck. Who can control it after seeing such a cat? What about yourself?"

The president nodded: "Indeed."

All the members turned to look at him.And the handsome Fukuzawa Yukichi kept a serious face all the time, as if he didn't say what he said just now.

Ranpo complained and started scratching the toilet paper.

Atsushi Nakajima asked me in a low voice: "Then, Ms. Fujimaru, are you here to let us find a cat?"

"So to put it this way, or to put it another way, I want you to help me find the person who stole the carbon."

I took out my phone, "Although it was blurry, I took a picture of his back before he disappeared into the thick fog."

Everyone in the detective agency is like a group of curious dogs sniffing in front of the ham sausage. The white, golden and black heads are crowded together, looking at the white lump on the screen of my mobile phone. silhouette.

"A long white cloak that can be stretched down to the calf." Atsushi Nakajima tried his best to identify it. "Few people wear it like this now."

"Except for some people who like long windbreakers and black coats. Maybe they think it's especially cool, but it's actually very naive." Dazai Osamu said with a smile, and the others tried their best not to tell that he was connoting someone in Hong Kong. some people.

"Long white hair, waist-length." Kunikida gestured to the length of the thief's hair in the photo, "Is this a man? Look at the shoulder width, it is indeed a man."

"This man has braids on the side of his head." The blond boy Kenji Miyazawa has good eyesight. "I always think this hairstyle looks familiar."

Everyone turned their heads and looked at how to imitate the cat's random steps. In order to stimulate his detective ability, Osamu Dazai stuffed half a pack of Oreos into his hand.

Ranpo put Oreo down subconsciously: "Cats can't eat chocolate."

I said honestly, "You're not a cat, at least not yet."

Edogawa Ranpo sighed, he casually glanced at my phone screen, Nakajima Atsukai asked expectantly: "Mr. Ranpo, do you need to wear glasses and activate a supernatural ability to reason?"

"It's too simple, so simple that you don't need to use special powers." Luanbu lazily lowered his head and picked out a cream-filled Oreo from the bag, "This is the commission we just received yesterday." prime suspect in the case of serial suicides'."

I was a little confused, but the rest of the detective agency looked dazed and then alert.

"Is this guy... some heinous criminal?" I asked.

The members of the detective agency, who were still smiling, became serious with the naked eye. They communicated with each other with their eyes. In my opinion, it was like turning on the voice in the team.After chatting for a few seconds with brainwaves that I was sure couldn't receive, Kunikida was finally elected to explain the situation to me.

"This guy is a very dangerous supernatural being. So far, he has caused a lot of weird deaths around the world. As far as we know, he returned to Yokohama not long ago, and his appearance is similar to your photo The person in the picture is completely right." The man who was originally very serious had deep furrows between his brows at this moment, "We don't know the motive of his late night visit to steal the cat, but Ms. Fujimaru, you are undoubtedly He's on."

I leaned back slowly, letting my back touch the cushions of the sofa, and continued to listen as relaxed as possible.

"Who is he?" I asked.

Osamu Dazai's fingers tapped a line of arpeggios lightly on the glass top of the coffee table.

"Shibusawa Tatsuhiko." The black curly-haired young man spat out the bloody four words, "A 'collector' who treats all of this as a game... Shibusawa Tatsuhiko."

At the same time as I heard this name, there was a "ding", and a mechanical prompt sounded in my mind: [The key has been confirmed, and the system has started to install. 】

[50%...60%...70%...]

[100%, the installation is complete. 】

[Welcome to the "Furry Collection Illustrated Book" system!Loading user information... information loaded! 】【Hello, Fujimaru Tachika! The "Furry Collection Illustrated Book" system is at your service! 】Maybe my expression was frozen for too long, Osamu Dazai obviously had some different guesses.

"Have you heard of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's name?" He asked softly.

I shook my head slightly, and said in a trance, "No. I'm just...I'm just thinking, why would such a person focus on my carbon carbon?"

[Keywords detected, the collected animal illustrations have been automatically loaded for you! 】【#001 illustrated book content has been entered, you can browse it at any time. 】【The "Picture Book" function has been activated!Trigger a new mission——]

I turned to Kunikida blankly: "I have a question. What happened to the inexplicable voice suddenly appearing in my head? Was it that vicious Shibusawa Tatsuhiko who did it?"

A beautiful sister with a butterfly hairpin on her head poked her head out of the door with a machete: "Do you want me to lift your skull for an inspection?"

I:? ? ?

Atsushi Nakajima stretched out his hand to cover my head very nervously: "Maybe it's too much pressure! Ms. Fujimaru, why don't you sleep in our staff dormitory for a while?"

I shook my head slowly and asked one last question:

"Do any of you have cages or flight cases for small animals?"

Because the guy who called himself "furry collection illustration system" posted me the first quest
