【From Oda Saku-kun

This letter was dictated by me to Junhei Yamamoto, and then he wrote it to you. The letter was sent from Tokyo. I hope this way can avoid people in Yokohama who have malicious intentions to open our letters.

Closer to home, I've done some interesting things in my opinion these days.

I became an intern at a famous armed detective agency in Yokohama, as an assistant to Mr. Ranpo, the only real detective in the agency.

Mr. Ranpo is really amazing!Even though I have seen the famous high school student detective Kudo Shinichi solve the case, I always insist that Mr. Ranpo is the best detective in the world.

Kudo Shinichi still needs to look for clues carefully, but Mr. Ranpo doesn't have to do anything!He only needs to take a look at the scene and immediately know what the truth is.

Becoming Mr. Ranpo's assistant is my first step on the road of practice. Although I haven't done anything yet, I am observing how the armed detective agency uses practice to practice their will .

Yokohama is a very complex city that looks bright during the day and dark at night.

The Armed Detective Agency is at the junction of day and night, maintaining a delicate balance.

The world is not black and white, and I have known this for a long time.

But this kind of balance at the junction of black and white is really too difficult to balance.

I don't know if Armed Detective Agency is doing the right thing, but I feel like they're on the right track.

I want to join the Armed Detective Agency, but the president of the Armed Detective Agency rejected me. He didn't even give me an assignment for the entrance examination. He only allowed me to be Mr. Ranpo's assistant as an intern to help Mr. Ranpo deal with the problem. some common cases.

In fact, I have wanted to complain for a long time, why is there only one detective in the "Armed Detective Agency"!

Fortunately, Mr. Ranpo is very efficient. Basically, when solving a case on weekdays, the time spent on the road far exceeds the time spent thinking about the case to find the answer.

I did a nice thing recently, did I tell you, that organ trafficking group I tackled a while back, got a girl out, she was a member of the port mafia?

If there is, forget it, if not, I will briefly recall it here.

That girl was sent by the port mafia as a bait, she was two years younger than me, because her brother was also in the port mafia, so she had to obey the port mafia's order to go into a dangerous environment.

With the help of Mr. President of the Armed Detective Agency, she and her brother have successfully escaped from the Port Mafia. Her brother is about my age and has already joined the Armed Detective Agency and is now a full-fledged member.

I want to use this to protest to Mr. President, obviously that boy is about the same age as me, but why can he join the Armed Detective Agency!He has joined, so why not let me join!

(By the way, that boy's name is Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Yamamoto, you don't have to write this to Odasaku, this is to chat with you, I recently met a lot of people with the same name as Bungo, such as Ranpo Sir, his name is Ranpo Edogawa, but Ranpo Edogawa would be a good detective.) (This paragraph has been crossed out)

We haven't talked about writing for a long time, and I'm actually ashamed. It's been almost half a year since I came to Yokohama, but I don't seem to have written anything except for a few short stories.It's not that I'm uninspired, it's just that I'm a little too busy.

Recently, I plan to start writing a series of novels, which is based on Mr. Ranpo, but since it is based on Mr. Ranpo, it is not my own original novel. Without Mr. Ranpo's permission, I can't advance I will show you the manuscript.

This novel will record Mr. Ranpo's detective deeds. I want to include Oda Saku into this book. After all, Mr. Ranpo solved the case in Yokohama. I don't know many people in Yokohama. I want to Write a character based on you, but for the sake of contrast, I want to make this character a good guy who is ruthless and looks like a serial killer.

Just set you as the owner of the curry shop downstairs in the detective agency!Because Mr. Ranpo hates spicy food very much, Mr. Detective Mr. Ranpo doesn't get along with the owner of the curry shop downstairs.

How about such a character?If Odasaku doesn't want to, forget it, if you want, just give this character a name.

But in fact, since the character of this character is set to be completely different from Oda Saku for the sake of contrast, it seems unbelievable to say that the original shape is you.

I guess you are "travelling" outside now, and our letters have been monitored before, so I guess it is not convenient for you to communicate with the children.

So I have been keeping an eye on your children.

I met Kosuke before because I helped friends go and self-organize self-organized organizations near your house-well, sorry, I really can’t think of words to describe them accurately, let’s be honest, they are bad groups... Yamamoto, don't talk too much!Ya card? Wash! (This paragraph is also crossed out)

I met Xingsuke before because I participated in a club in our school. Most of the members of this club are students from our high school and several nearby schools. I met Xingsuke when the high school student club was negotiating. The negotiation was very successful, and our two clubs were reorganized and united.

So I asked the community members near where the kids live to take care of them a little bit, and they've been doing fine lately.

It's not a secret that Xingsuke failed the exam recently, so I'll send you some of their report cards from Yokohama in two days, and I'll take care to cross out the names and schools.

Odasaku, have you written any stories recently?I look forward to seeing your novel published.

your friend ring]

【Respectfully, Mr. Xiang

Regarding your question about whether I can be used as a prototype, my answer is of course no problem. Rather, being the owner of a curry shop is simply amazing.

As for the name, my friend helped me think for a long time, but I always feel that the names he thinks of are a bit strange.

Why don't you come up with a name for this character.

My friend said that he also wanted to play a cameo role in Mr. Hibiki's book, and he said he wanted to play a guest role as a victim.

I think the role suits him well, and if you're willing to take his idea, the name of his cameo victim is Yandao Zhonger.

In order to get your permission, in exchange, my friend specially attached the novels he has written these days, but it is a pity that you may not be able to see them for the time being.

Because someone has been spying on our correspondence, I sent this letter to Mr. Yamamoto according to the address you sent me. I hope Mr. Yamamoto can pass it on to you, or read it to you.

I also sent a few short articles with the letter, which I wrote recently, but these articles should be in the hands of Mr. Yamamoto now, and you may not see them.

I heard that you have been very close to the armed detective agency in recent days. I don't want to stop your actions, but I just want to persuade you to pay attention to safety.

After all, Yokohama is still very dangerous, and the person who is monitoring our communications is probably a high-ranking member of the port mafia. The purpose of this person is still unclear, and he may threaten your safety.

I share your joy at hearing that you saved two children from the Harbor Mafia.

The Port Mafia is not an ordinary place, it is an extreme organization. Even though I used to be an ordinary low-level member, I didn't need to hurt others with my hands, but every corpse I collected was not fake.

You've done enough to change the fate of these two kids by getting them out of the harbor mafia before they get blood on them.

In my heart, what you do is the right thing, please don't doubt yourself.

Teacher Xiang has always been a firm person in my eyes. You have always been on the right path and will always be steadfast.

Although you are still a child, you are already stronger than many people in terms of spirit and will.

Last time you said that you wanted to be the firewood to rekindle me when I was about to burn myself down.

You have already done this.

For people like me, and for most of your readers, you are already the fire that ignites us.

Your light is like a lighthouse. Even though we are still sneaking in the dark, when our own light is about to disappear, as long as we look up, we can see that you are still shining as always.

Sometimes your role is not to guide the direction, but to tell us when we are confused that everything we do is meaningful, and what we are looking for can be found in the end.

You don't directly tell us what light is made of, you just tell us that light exists.

All you do is enough.

People like us who are in the dark, what we fear is not everything in the dark, but whether there is light after the dark.

You didn't tell us how to find the light, but you told us firmly that the light exists.

All this is enough.

It is difficult for people in the dark to trust others. If someone guides us how to go to the light, perhaps most people are not willing to do what they say, but if they just tell us that there is a place Brightness, but this process depends on us to find it, but we will believe in you and continue to explore unswervingly.

All you have to do is stand there and tell us there is light.

Your friend Oda Sakunosuke】

Yamamoto Chunhei finished reading the letter on the other end of the phone, and then sighed: "If you are really sincere, I actually thought the same way back then."

"What?" Hibiki hadn't recovered from Oda Sakunosuke's praise, but he heard Yamamoto's sigh.

"When I heard that you won the Akutagawa Award, although I still wondered why I didn't win the award, after reading your book, I immediately thought that this person was born for literature. Only people like you can save the literary world." Yamamoto Chunhei can only sincerely express his own mental journey after he has achieved success now.

“Didn’t the entire literary world have a bright future at that time? There were no bestsellers for many years, and only a few writers could sell 10,000+ copies, but they were only selling books based on their names. In fact, publishers and Authors, everyone is talking, if a savior suddenly appears, who can sell hundreds of thousands of books, it would be great to save the sluggish literary world, and you appear in the end."

"Hello? Why don't you talk? Are you shy?" Yamamoto Chunhei teased a few words, and opened the manuscript paper attached to the letter of Oda Sakunosuke, "Do you want me to read Oda Saku-kun's novel to you? You can read it for a long time, just read it when you come back from vacation. By the way, who is monitoring your letters, just like a moron..."

"Read it." Hibiki calmed down.

"The title of the article is "Retrograde", and the author is Yandao Zhongji... Hey, I took the wrong one. This is the manuscript of Oda Saku-kun's friend, but did he just give you this name and said that he hoped to be a guest star of the deceased? Is there such a person? Why don’t you use me to play a guest role, such as a writer whose home was broken into by fanatical fans and stolen manuscripts..." Yamamoto Junhei muttered and prepared to change a manuscript.

"How did Yandao Zhonger write it? I'll write it down." Ring on the phone also picked up his pen.

"Yandao Zhonger...is the pen name that Dazai Osamu used. It is written in the same way. It's a coincidence."

The author has something to say:

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I saved the manuscript and published it
