Bungo common problem

When a sentence is said by Edogawa Ranpo, it only means one thing.

——This is the most certain truth.

She was always calling for help.

The writer named Qianli has been calling for help.

The novels written by the other party are full of voices calling for help.

Every word and every sentence contains desperate prayers with nowhere to go.

This is something Fukuzawa Yukichi has never thought about. He has read countless books thousands of miles away, and even has all the novels written by the other party at home. He can find out the educational significance of reality in each book. But never saw the meaning of this aspect.

but……

"Is it ability?"

Writer Qianli’s first short article "Sacrifice" was published the year before last, while the first novel "To Live" was published in the same year, and even the subsequent "Ghost" and "Dark Tide" were also quite a while later.

If it is really as Ranpo said, then these can be said to exist almost like prophecies, and Qianli himself who can do such things must have some special place or ability.

"Not sure which."

After all, there is more than one kind of superpower in the world, not to mention magicians, he has also heard of magicians, and there are probably many others.

"but……"

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes flickered under the lens, and he said the name of a book.

"Fate"

Fukuzawa Yukichi paused, and following Edogawa Ranpo's voice in his mind, he naturally recalled the content of "Fate".

Teacher Qianli recently published a new book, the content of which is the story of the protagonist constantly going back in time in order to save his friends.

As far as the novel is concerned, it can be said to be innovative, and the content in it is also thought-provoking, which has sounded the alarm for countless people. It is another book that is not weaker than "The Dark Tide".

But now, combined with what Ranpo said and the age of the other party...

Is what it says somehow "true"?To write such a work, I hope that someone will find her most authentic call for help.

even……

Unable to help, Fukuzawa Yukichi recalled Chisato in the house.

The bright red blood on the neck, the almost dead breath, the calm that does not belong to the age, and the golden eyes burning with tiny hopes after crying...

As long as you have this idea and compare it with the current situation, you will easily discover this fact.

Alive is her family.

Then, as the main character, the killer and his adopted child both died in the end.

"Ghost" is a mimic.

The foreign forces that suddenly arrived in Yokohama, of course he has read the information, are a group of soldiers left over from the past wars, and are now working as mercenaries in Europe.

The general who is the protagonist in "Ghost", as a soldier who goes from glory to destruction, has a similar feeling.

Maybe... something in it will be closer to mimic the organization.

Dark Tide is port mafia.

From the very beginning, this book was full of controversies about various bipolar discussions. He already had a subtle dislike for the villain in the novel. Now that he thinks about it, isn't it Mori Ogai?

Insidious and cunning, old and cunning.Using the so-called "optimal solution" has always been a sacrifice.Even if the other party is equally cruel to himself, Fukuzawa Yukichi is still very unimpressed by this kind of behavior.

So to sum it up, it should be that the villain in "Dark Tide" used tricks to kill the killer of "Alive" with the knife of "Ghost".

Mori Ogai borrowed the mimic to make Chisato's family have an accident in order to achieve some purpose.

Fukuzawa Yukichi felt that he was not surprised at all, after all, this kind of thing was indeed done by Mori Ogai.

The truth...could it be so?

"It's exactly what you think, President."

Edogawa Ranpo gave an affirmative answer.

"What is certain now is that she knows about the 'future,' but for some reason cannot say it."

Otherwise, I would not have achieved my goal by writing those books.

"But so far, only I have found out."

Edogawa Ranpo knew very well in his heart that if the information the other party wanted to disclose was really known, then it would definitely not be in that state.

And...if he hadn't met the other party in person, even he wouldn't have thought about it.

Clues are just one thing, and there are not many people who are free to connect the book a year ago with things that have nothing to do with them in reality.

"Restricted?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned slightly, thinking of the protagonist in "Fate".

It was possible to communicate at the beginning, but gradually lost it later, and then even the reminders had to become obscure, and the information could only be given from some clues, and finally there was no trace of even a clue.

More and more stringent, the so-called "destiny".

"She didn't have any unnecessary injuries, and she had no physical contact with anyone before that."

Edogawa Ranpo didn't say the detailed reason, just left his own judgment.

"The mark on the neck is from her own, but there is a deep red mark on her right hand."

Fukuzawa Yujiro thought about it and realized the seriousness of the problem.

"The right hand is the hand holding the handle of the knife. If someone else hurt her, then the end that was pulled out with deeper marks should be the palm, but the deepest marks are from the fingers."

In the "scramble", if the force is due to resistance, it should be pushed outward.In other words, the person who hurt herself with the knife was herself, and she was with someone...

"It doesn't have to be a 'person' either."

Edogawa Ranpo stopped, letting the lens reflect a white light in the sunlight.Ever since he left the gate of the Armed Detective Agency, his expression had no smile, and his voice was rare and solemn.

"Maybe it doesn't have to be 'person'?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi stopped and fell silent for a while.

Yes, if the other party can tell what he knows, then how can he "remind" him in such an extremely euphemistic way as a novel?This only shows that the other party is really unable to "tell".

That deadly atmosphere is also very imaginable with the protagonist in the later period. The so-called "fate" is actually herself.

Why not come to the Armed Detective Agency sooner?Is it because you can't?

"That's right, it just can't."

As if he understood Fukuzawa Yukichi's question, Edogawa Ranpo continued.

"Before she came, she made a deal with..., but what exactly..."

Having said that, Edogawa puffed his cheeks in disorder, and spoke reluctantly.

"There are not enough clues to be explored."

Although he possesses the world's most powerful supernatural ability [Super Reasoning], it is difficult for even a detective to see the truth when there are insufficient clues.

She was not allowed to have an accident, but she was not allowed to disclose, whether it was because of the price or something, it was uncertain. [Super reasoning] It is seeing the truth and not replaying the scene. He can only speculate on what he didn't see. He still has no way of knowing what the other party has traded, but logically speaking, it should be quite important. yes.

Besides, he needs to see more relevant clues, but isn't it on the way to the clues now?

"President."

Edogawa Ranpo raised his head and looked into Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes, the blue eyes were completely serious.

"I want to help her."

Not just the so-called entrustment, but also his own mood.

In the past, he would always think that if someone had helped his father and mother before the accident and hadn't... died, then the following things would not have happened to him.

Although after meeting the president, he never thought about such a thing again, but he knew how it felt.

Similar to him at that time, when he was most helpless.

The president held him back, and now, Ranpo Edogawa wants to hold another person.

What's more... the situation should be worse.Because a lot of things happened in it, and her state was a danger visible to the naked eye.

he thinks.

It looks like a bag of potato chips. It looks bulging, but in fact it has been torn open in a corner of the dark place. As long as you use a little force, the pretending bulging appearance will be easily dented and eventually become shattered.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't want this.

He likes sweet candies, not bitter things, and he prefers happy ones to tragedies.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was relieved to see such Edogawa chaos.This is the first time that the other party has shown such a serious gesture, telling himself that he wants to help someone.

But he was also afraid that the other party would be hot for 3 minutes, even if the other party was an adult now, but his personality was still no different from that of a child.

"Why do you think that way?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked in a deep voice.

"What is Ranpo trying to help?"

If it was the content of the entrustment, then Ranpo would not say such a thing.

"I want to help..."

Edogawa Ranbu murmured and repeated Fukuzawa Yukichi's words, his eyes fell into deep thought.

Want to help...Is it because of seeing similar things that want to change?

But what he wants to help more is Qianli.

pity?No.regret?Nor is it.

It's not the usual commissions that are completed as long as you tell the result, but a deeper and simpler one, just wanting to see that the other party can laugh easily like yourself.

Such a mood...

"Do not worry."

The weight of Fukuzawa Yukichi was heard above his head, and Edogawa Ranpo looked up at this existence that had accepted him, and he heard the other party's calm voice.

"If you haven't figured it out, just find it in this process."

……

Qianli didn't know what Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi said, she just pressed the number to call Oda Sakunosuke, but no one answered for a while.

Maybe he's on a mission and it's not convenient to answer the phone.

Qianli comforted himself in this way, and his eyes came to the other two phone numbers.

Gojo Satoru, and Osamu Dazai.

Dazai went abroad without her knowing, and the exact time is uncertain, but since it is Europe, it is estimated that it is a big country like Italy, France, Britain and Germany, and Italy, which is rich in mafia, is the most likely.

Assuming it is Italy, the plane will take at least ten hours.If the plane doesn't arrive, I can't make a call, and when I call, it will take more than ten hours for the other party to come back.

Thousands of miles hate iron but think steel.

When he comes back, maybe Odasaku will be fine. After all, as long as the leader of the mimic, Gide, does not confront Odasaku and finds that Odasaku's ability is strong enough to kill him, maybe Gide is fighting Hong Kong gangsters.

But...forget it, just treat it as the cauldron of world consciousness.

Anyway, let Dazai stop working for Mori Ogai, and by the way, let's join forces to see how we can end the matter of mimic first and then quickly stay away from the squeeze.

As for Gojo Satoru...

Qianli looked at the other party's phone number silently, lost in thought.

Conjurers...should be a decent organization that doesn't kill people, right?I guess I can't ask the other party to offer a reward for the head of the mimic, and I don't know if the curser will take this kind of job. It would be even better if there is a curser who curses the bald head.

Otherwise... ask him to help find a safer house in Tokyo and then send the child there first?

Just when Qianli was about to make a decision, Yosano Akiko's voice suddenly sounded.

"look up."

He was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the other party, but what caught his eyes was Xie Ye Akiko's serious face.

"With Ranpo and the president, no matter what, the most important thing here is yourself."

Qianli:? ? ?

I?What's wrong with me?I haven't notified anyone yet?

With Yosano Akiko: "..."

She looked at Qianli with blank eyes, and re-examined the other party, and found that the other party was still blank and sincere.

Yosano Akiko was instantly upset, she couldn't see anyone not taking care of herself, and she might be on the verge of death with someone else.

Anyone who has enjoyed it will "regain love" for life.

"I say……"

She raised her hand to put on Qianli's shoulder, and bent over to get closer to the girl sitting on the chair, even her voice was sinister.

"You don't forget the wound on your neck, do you?"

Are you feeling no pain?But anyone with a little common sense would know how dangerous the wound in that place is!

"hurt?"

Oh yes, she is still injured, but this trivial matter is not important, the main thing is to make a phone call first.

Qian Li's head quickly turned to such a sentence, and explained it to Yosano Akiko with a serious expression.

"My injury is not serious, it doesn't matter if I wait a while, and I have something to do..."

"Nothing will delay your treatment."

Yosano Akiko straightened up, and put the hydrogen peroxide on the table next to Qianli with a bang, the sound was meaningful.

"You don't want to see you like this when your family members come later, do you?"
