Edogawa Rampo was very unhappy, he decided to do something to prove that he is the most worthy of admiration.

"Let's go!" He stood up, and he didn't even want the unfinished snacks, and piled them all on the table, "Master Luanbu will take you to solve the case!"

"Okay, okay!" In fact, Xiang had already vented her grievance about suddenly knowing the truth yesterday, and this morning, she was just a little bit unhappy about the regret that she didn't see other writers.

But it's not like you can't see other literary giants, at least Fukuzawa Yukichi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke, if there is no accident, you can basically see them every day.

So her unhappiness came and went quickly.

Hibiki is now excitedly holding a small notebook, with a recording pen in his pocket, and follows Edogawa Ranpo.

"Today's case is a commission sent by the Supernatural Secret Service Division. It seems that some information went wrong during the transmission process." Edogawa Ranpo was very enthusiastic and introduced the details of the case carefully in order to save the little fans. ——but actually not very careful.

But for Edogawa Ranpo, it is already very rare.

"The people in the Ability Secret Service Section are always secretive, and we have to figure out the specifics by ourselves."

Nodding loudly, the phone in her pocket vibrated suddenly.

He took out his mobile phone and found that it was a message from the clerks of the detective agency, which roughly introduced the case and the place where he should go. Where to take the subway line to where to get off and then how to go.

All in all, it's a very detailed map.

At the end, the clerks made a special note, please take care of Mr. Ranpo, and don't let him get lost.

Although it wasn't the first time he had a case with Edogawa Luanpo, but it was the first time Hibiki received such an order.

Previously, the cases she and Mr. Ranpo had involved were all homicide cases entrusted by the police. The police were used to Edogawa Ranpo's lack of living ability, and would specially arrange a car to pick him up from the Armed Detective Agency every time. Xiang also took a ride along the way to keep up.

"The statement of the case sent by the Supernatural Secret Service Division shows that when the intelligence personnel of the Supernatural Secret Service Section went to the contact a week ago, they found that one of their informants had died accidentally. The cause of death was robbery, and the information he held was also robbed. This robbery gang recently robbed a jewelry store in Tokyo and fled to Yokohama, hoping to use the status of Yokohama Free Port as a smuggling boat to escape from Yokohama."

"The smuggling ship that this robbery gang is going to abscond with is related to the port mafia, but it is temporarily speculated that the informant they robbed has nothing to do with the port mafia. They should not know that they have information on them. We need to leave before this gang They were apprehended before Yokohama."

Xiang was a little puzzled: "What do we need to do in such a case? They gave the information, and it seems that they have given the address of the criminal gang in Yokohama... It's a hotel. It's better not to send people directly to catch the criminals." Is it? Let us go? Is it possible that the two of us are expected to arrest the criminal by force? We should wait for Fukuzawa-san or Akutagawa-kun to go together."

Edogawa said "I beg you to tell me" with a face full of chaos.

Of course Xiang could see it: "Master Ranpo, please tell me why!"

"Because of the struggle within their system." Edogawa Ranpo said with disgust on his face.

"This case does not involve any factors of supernatural powers from the beginning to the end, so there is no apparent reason for the Supernatural Secret Service Division to intervene in this case. As for the ordinary police, the police in Yokohama generally don't care about foreign prisoners, as long as foreign prisoners If they didn’t commit crimes in Yokohama, the police basically didn’t care about them. So Yokohama is the biggest smuggling port, and every year, many criminals who made a fortune in Japan smuggle out of Japan through Yokohama.”

"The information lost by the head of the ability is very important. It is probably a great achievement. It is impossible for them to mix this great achievement with traces of other systems, so in order to retrieve this information, they would rather hire us. After all, the armed detective agency is not an internal system. and because the relationship between the president and the Supernatural Secret Service is good, we have to take on a few tasks assigned by the Supernatural Secret Service every year, but the entrustment fee is still quite considerable."

Resentment: "So these tax thieves are wasting taxpayers' taxes for credit!"

Edogawa Ranpo glanced in surprise: "Did you pay taxes?"

Xiang nodded: "I am a super best-selling author with an average sales volume of more than 300 million."

She puts a lot of emphasis on "super."

"Really?" Edogawa Ranpo had no idea about this.

"Of course! My book is now more than 50 copies in the first printing. By the way, Mr. Ranpo, my editor heard that I was going to write a series of detective novels. He said that he wanted to find time to talk to Ranpo. My lord, let's talk about the income distribution." Xiang shook his head triumphantly, and suddenly saw the arrival of the subway.

She confirmed that this was the direction of the subway they were going to take, and pulled Edogawa Ranpo's small shawl onto the subway.

Because there were a lot of people on the subway, the two of them didn't talk about anything. After a few stops, they got off the subway again.

Xiang followed the route given by the clerks and successfully found the hotel.

"Are they really going to abscond? This is clearly a vacation hotel!" Ring looked at their destination hotel in surprise.

This is a pretty big hotel. The reason why it is not called a hotel or a guesthouse is because it is privately owned and has only two or three floors of low and simple ordinary bungalows. This hotel can be regarded as a modernized one. Simple Japanese style, the main focus is hot springs.

"Master Ranpo, should we sneak into this hotel now and catch the criminal?"

"No, just wait until they fight among themselves before catching them." Edogawa Ranpo looked up at the signboard of the hotel, remembering the surrounding environment in his mind.

"Eh? Do robbers fight among themselves?" Hibiki was amazed by Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning.

Edogawa Ranpo said confidently: "Compared to absconding abroad, and causing suspicions abroad due to internal strife due to uneven distribution of spoils, it is better to say that Japan has settled all grievances and grievances, and then took the big pens of money to leave Japan and live a safe and clean life from now on.”

"We may have to stay here for a few more days and wait until the robbers want to fight among themselves before stopping them."

"Then treat it as a team building vacation!" Xiang happily sent emails to everyone in the Armed Detective Agency one by one, inviting everyone to come to this hotel for vacation. "It just so happens that I haven't met Dr. Yosano yet. It seems that this is the first time that everyone from the Armed Detective Agency has come together, right?"

In fact, it happens to be summer vacation now. Although the summer vacation is not too long, only more than a month, the poor Akutagawa brothers and sisters are still sent to cram school.

Xiang didn't invite the ordinary clerks to live here, but he still plans to book a few rooms for them. This place is actually quite close to the Armed Detective Agency. It's only a few stops by subway. It was only half an hour.

It may not be safe to invite these ordinary non-combat clerks to live in dangerous cases that may occur, but it is no problem to let them come here to soak in the hot spring during the day.

Hibiki indicated in the text message that she invited them to take a vacation, and it was also for a hidden need. After all, she and Edogawa Ranpo went to live in a hot spring hotel, which was always strange, and it was easy for robbers to find out.

Fukuzawa Yukichi replied quickly. He had no objection to the proposal, but just asked them to pay attention to safety.However, Fukuzawa Yukichi said that he would also come. After all, the current battle order of the Armed Detective Agency is only him and Akutagawa Ryunosuke. No matter who lives in a hot spring hotel with Edogawa Ranpo and Hibiki, it seems It sounds a bit strange, but the reason for team building is more credible.

"Okay, Mr. Ranpo, let's go book a room." Hibiki continued to pull on Edogawa Ranpo's small cape, "Just say that we are the staff team of the coffee shop downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency, Akutagawa-kun, I and I Xiaoyin is a part-time student, Fukuzawa-san is the store manager, Ranpo-san, and Yosano-san are pastry chefs. If the clerks come, just say they are employees of the coffee shop. It’s okay if they just come to the hot springs after changing shifts They said they came to play in batches in order to keep the cafe open."

"It's better to call them over after the case is resolved." Edogawa Ranpo had a smarter way.

Nodding loudly: "It makes sense."

"Hello, order..." Hibiki did some calculations. It is estimated that the people who will live here will probably be people with supernatural powers plus Akutagawa Gin. There are six people in total, three men and three women. "I need to order two big hot springs. One room for men and women."

Fortunately, this hostel is mainly Japanese-style. They sleep directly on the floor at night. You can book a room for many people. Otherwise, if you book too many rooms, what if you happen to be traveling during the summer vacation? All the rooms are booked up during the peak season, and it's bad for the robbers to find out that it's not right.

"Hello, please give us two hot spring rooms." A group of people also came to the counter to book rooms.

It was a large group of people, an elderly man, middle-aged men in total, two girls who looked like female high school students, maybe a little bigger than Lou, and a group of children.

"It's not safe to travel to Yokohama with young children," Hibiki reminded the men, who were bringing a large group of children.

She wanted to try to scare them away, after all, there were already absconding robbers in this store.

"Ah, thank you." The girl near Ring scratched her head embarrassedly, "We were actually invited by the hotel owner to come on vacation."

The girl sounded familiar to Hibiki.

"Have we met somewhere?" the girl also asked.

"I also think you look familiar." Hibiki smiled, "Where are you from?"

"Tokyo." The girl replied, she had a prominent sideburn on her head, Hibiki thought it should be easy to recall.

"Ah! I remembered." The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you also studying near Mihua Town? We should often see each other on the way to school."

Lou nodded: "I used to study at Teiko Middle School, but now my high school is in Yokohama."

She remembered that, indeed, the same people she met on the way to school every day were indeed very familiar.
