Social animals don't deserve love

Rarely, when I wanted to eat snacks, I hesitated for a few seconds and decisively asked Socrates to return to the cat bag. I rushed into the rough snack shop and picked up the basket to make a big purchase.

"Delicious sticks, potato chips, coffee milk candy, mini donuts... roll sugar and 8-shaped chocolate, the world without tooth pain is the real world!" Lasagna tears rarely grow in the correct position with the lacrimal gland , as the last packet of grape flavor was stirred and fell into the basket, the battle was considered to be over.

"Ugh--!"

I looked down at the booty, and sighed contentedly: "Socrates, let's go to the market and buy you a fish?" If you have me, you can't live without a cat. As for my family, how can I favor one over another!

"what--!"

The cat responded with a long "meow ~", and a discordant lament came from the side for the third time: "Alas!"

It was the loser of the Stirring Battle, a black-haired, squint-eyed youth in a brown cloak and a brown deerstalker hat.

Squinting eyes are ruthless characters, I know that, but the taste of grapes is also not to be disappointed.

In terms of appearance, this person is about the same age as me, but the slightly shorter trousers make him look like a teenager.I squinted and looked at my basket reluctantly, as if it was not just some snacks, but missing it once would be a lifetime regret.

Mouth, up to three days, the boss will definitely refill the shelves until they explode, there is no need to show such an expression at all!

I skirted him and got to the tail of the checkout line.

With a scorching gaze staring at her from behind, she almost couldn't help raising her hand to wipe off the black line and cold sweat... No way, no way, there won't be any grown-ups showing their cat-mao frustrated faces just because they couldn't grab it The last bag of food?

Socrates didn't do that!

Well, there are...

When the bill was settled, I walked through two traffic lights with a plastic bag in hand, and finally stopped and turned around.The black-haired young man who was following caught off guard and shook his head indiscriminately, looking up at the sky: "..."

"Following others is a crime, sir." I reached into the plastic bag and touched the package of thick snacks one by one, squinting my eyes and flattening my mouth to take out my credentials as if I had been wronged: "I am a detective, detective! "

Uh... According to the "Detective Practice Law", I really can't say anything about him.

"Understood." With great difficulty, I dug out the bag of stirrers that caused all the disputes from the bottom of the bag and threw it to the young man who followed me: "No matter what you find out in your investigation, this is the hush money, please don't follow me anymore, You scared my cat."

Uncharacteristically, Socrates blocked the daylight window of the cat bag, baring his sharp claws and fangs and growling in a muffled voice.

It's a pity that the deterrent effect was ignored because it was too cute... ＿(:з"∠)＿ squinted his eyes and grabbed the palm-sized purple small bag and stuffed it into his pocket. The taste of surprise was almost overflowing: "Edogawa Ranpo, All Yokohama, ah no, all over the country, um... It should be said that they are the world's leading detectives!I won't take things from my client for nothing, is there anything I need to investigate?Because of this, I won't turn down even boring cases. "

The childish Mr. Edogawa took out the stirrer and held it in his hand to shake it at me, then quickly put it back in again.

No need, I'm just divorced, and I haven't reached the point where I need to work "the world's leading detective".Mr. Sakaguchi is actually an ordinary social animal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not some high-functioning anti-social potential criminal.Strictly speaking, our unsustainable marriage is not entirely his fault, so there is no need to make things so absolute.

"Thank you. If I get involved in any troubles in the future, I will definitely ask you for help."

Normal adults can understand that this means tactful refusal, but the term "adult" does not seem to be suitable for Mr. Edogawa's attributes... He happily believed it, and complained loudly that he insisted on exchanging communication numbers .

Well, the phone number is lying there, and pretending it doesn't exist isn't much different than really not being there.

After exchanging numbers, turning off the phone and putting it in my pocket, I turned around with other "trophies"...

Hmm, failed again.

Looking down, the sleeves were tightly clenched in the hands.Slowly raising his head, a pair of emerald green eyes radiated a pitiful light similar to that of Socrates.

So

"Mr. Edogawa?" Could it be that you are a stray cat of unknown breed?

"Master Ranbu is lost!" The squint-eyed young man didn't intend to let go at all, but felt aggrieved, as if I was the culprit who caused him to get into the current predicament.

No matter how cute the innocent cat's mouth is, it can't stop me from reaching out to hit you! Let me tell you!

Mr. Edogawa shook my sleeve lightly, like a cute little plush begging for food: "Master Ranpo got lost because of following you, you have to be responsible for sending Master Ranpo home! Also, name! You haven't told Lord Ranpo your name yet."

Is it really my fault! ?

Don't be angry, adults can't argue with cubs.Although judging from his size, he has long been out of the category of cubs, but!But people still have a mental age, don't they...

"Yada, it's our first time meeting. Mr. Edogawa, where is your home?"

I swipe my phone and pull up the gps.

There is something called an electronic map in this world, and young people living in modern society should know it.

Even if you don't know it, assuming your IQ is normal, you can learn to use it quickly.

"Your name!" He didn't answer my question, instead he was reluctant like a child. I could only sigh tiredly: "Yada Fubuki. What's your home address?"

Only then did Mr. Edogawa report the name of the club with satisfaction: "Okay, Fubuki. I want to go back to the Armed Detective Agency!"

What the hell is Little Fubuki called?

I:"……"

Very good, there is no place on the map.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" I turned to him the "Address does not exist" page and read helplessly: "If it's a prank, um, you succeeded, I'm so scared."

Is this okay?

"You are complaining about Ranpo-sama! You must be complaining! You can't complain about Ranpo-sama, Xiao Fubuki!" Mr. Edogawa opened his eyes wide in anger: "The Armed Detective Agency is an organization of supernatural beings for abnormal social events , How can it be searched on ordinary electronic maps, Master Luanbu will not lie!"

I have grown up so much, and the sum of more than 20 years is not as many times I am speechless today.

"Okay Ranpo-sama, I understand Ranpo-sama. Then, can you tell me... what are the landmarks near the Armed Detective Agency?"

It sounded more like some mysterious secondary fraud organization, I silently adjusted "110" to the top of the input field.

If he is telling the truth, he will do a good deed on that day when he sends a road idiot home; if he is telling lies, Mr. Police will educate him in an adult way.

He glanced at the mobile phone in my hand, puffed up his cheeks and exhaled: "It's very close to Chinatown, a few intersections away, on the fourth floor of a red brick building."

The map APP has a function called "panorama", which allows you to see electronic images of buildings in the target area.If it's near Chinatown...it shouldn't be hard to find.

After 10 minutes, I found the corresponding location marked on the map and got the approval of Mr. Edogawa: "Yeah! Little Fubuki really lived up to Ranpo-sama's trust!"

I sent the screenshot of the map to his number, picked up the plastic bag, turned around and left.

We already have a map, so who doesn’t want to go back after following it?

10 minute later.

"Excuse me, why do you still continue to follow me?" I stopped again and gripped my phone tightly. The young man with squinted eyes retracted his stretched hand and put it behind his head: "Isn't Xiao Fuxue going to send Master Ranbu back? Of course I want to follow you." la~"

"..." I understand, this means that it is impossible to send the Buddha to the West: "The map has been sent to your mobile phone."

"Master Luanbu can't understand!"

I have never seen such a righteous person, I sighed deeply: "Okay, what about taking the tram?"

"Master Luanbu won't do that kind of thing." He was confident and confident, and he was even more confident when he was unreasonable. It was probably him who said it.

Nothing to do, really nothing to do.He could only be left behind, taking trams, turning corners, crossing roads... Send this overage child back to the so-called "Armed Detective Agency".

Knocking on the door of the detective agency on the fourth floor, the office was silent for a moment, and then many people rushed out to greet Mr. Edogawa anxiously.I stepped back and stood by the wall for a while, then turned around and walked away silently along the steps.

It turns out that there are really people in the world who can get lost in their 20s, which is considered a long experience.It is probably because so many people care about it that they can't remember the way. It's so enviable to eat lemons.

"Socrates, are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" Passing by the cafe on the first floor, the mellow sweet and bitter aroma was rich and full. I walked through the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked inside. I suddenly missed Zizixuan curry shop very much.

Anyway, it's been so long since I've been out, so I might as well find a curry shop a little further away and try it out.

Hehehe, spicy curry rice, I have been thinking about it for a long time!

"Mr. Ranpo, how did you come back?"

The most nervous of all was a yellow-haired young man who carried a diary with him like a tutor, with worried eyes behind his glasses.

"Ah~ I met a kind person who sent me back, ah, she has already left." The young man raised his hand and scratched his hair without distraction: "Very gentle, sometimes stupid and sometimes very smart, but you can tell me at a glance. Seeing the end...it's very beautiful. There have been huge changes in my life recently, and I'm trying to adapt, maybe I'm feeling frustrated and planning to break up?"

Lives alone, newly adopted a stray cat, needs to rely on electronic maps, and has traces left by rings on his hands.

"In short, there is no way to leave it there and leave it alone."

Edogawa Ranpo took out the bag of grape flavor from his pocket and stirred it: "He is a good guy who will give me the last pack of limited edition. What do you say Kunikida?"

Kunikida Doppo, 20 years old, unmarried, male, is messing with his 40-year-old mother's heart for his seniors.

"In terms of appearance, the lady just now is indeed a rare beauty, and she can be called a beauty. But..."

But you can't be cheated by someone with a bag of food and play!

It's a pity that Ranpo Edogawa's attention has been completely shifted to the snacks. He randomly called someone to help pour water, jumped into the chair and couldn't wait to tear off the wrapping paper, and carefully mixed and stirred the powdered sugar according to the instructions. He had a great time Happy.

Mr. Ranpo!Do you know what all those descriptions you just said mean?This go-it-all, unprepared childishness is bound to lead to bumps and bumps in love, not for you or for the lady!

Kunikida Doppo worked hard repeatedly to suppress his desire to pick up the other party's collar and keep shaking. The senior is lying on the desk and playing with children's food, and the new partner is lying on the sofa with his belly upturned. Armed Will the detective agency really close down?

He moved his gaze to the sofa in the reception room. The back of the long sand-colored windbreaker seemed to realize something, twisting and twisting like an earthworm, turning his back to everyone.

You can't kill it, it's against the law!

Just very angry.

Kunikida Doppo is also worried about the reputation and future of the detective agency today.

"Ranbu," the "Guardian" who stood quietly and listened to the whole process left a reminder: "Remember to thank you."

"Got it, President. I have to ask for the contact information, don't worry." He raised his head and smiled slyly, then quickly lowered his head and continued with his hands: "Stir, stir, great success~ Ah! Ah! Forgot to sprinkle sugar ..."
