Before returning to the detective agency, quite a few possibilities flashed through Edogawa Ranpo's mind.Mere coincidence?What plot against their detective agency?Special abilities?

Ranpo Edogawa thinks that he is a person with supernatural powers, and the power he possesses is called [Super Reasoning]. You need to wear the glasses presented by the president Fukuzawa Yukichi to activate the powers. The self who usually does not wear glasses is just a Ordinary people without supernatural powers.

However, in fact, Edogawa Ranpo is not a person with supernatural powers, and what he possesses has never been supernatural powers, but comes from his own high IQ and reasoning ability far beyond ordinary people.

Therefore, even though the glasses given by the president became a kind of psychological suggestion, in fact, Edogawa Ranpo's brain was still subconsciously reasoning for him and began to seek answers.

It's a pity that the reasoning ability is not a supernatural ability that doesn't need clues for no reason. This time, because the information obtained is too little, even Edogawa Ranpo can't get the answer for a while.

So he returned to the detective agency as quickly as possible—first contacted Kunikida Doppo who hadn't returned yet.

As for why he knew this, it was also the conclusion drawn by Edogawa Ranpo from Dazai Osamu to Nakajima Atsushi, and calculated the time spent on this work and the like.

Edogawa Ranpo had countless conjectures in his mind, but he never thought that he would see such a person.

For people, their own face may be the most unfamiliar.Although this face will accompany him for the rest of his life, except for the use of props like mirrors, people cannot directly see themselves.

It's like people can't see their own back.

Edogawa pushed the door open in random steps, and saw the person lying on the window sill at first sight.

That person was different from Ranpo-sama, he didn't wear a well-fitting and unique detective suit, and he didn't have a hat. He was dressed more everyday.From the back, it looks like passers-by everywhere.

But anyone who is a little familiar with Edogawa Ranpo can recognize the identity of the other party through this back.

That guy just finished his snacks. It wasn't Ranpo-sama's precious stockpile, but Dun bought him a new one—ah, it happened to be his favorite rough pastry shop recently!Because of the material of the clothes, the crumbs of the snacks still fell on it without being slapped away, and were completely ignored by the slovenly owner.

No malice, no conspiracy against a detective agency.Before he even realized it, Edogawa Ranpo's brain had already completed the analysis for him.

Out of caring for coarse snacks, dissatisfaction with being ignored, and a strong curiosity that cannot be ignored—things that can make Ranpo-sama curious are too rare in this world.

Curiosity is the power of a detective, but, as a detective, Ranpo Edogawa has the ability to see through the truth at a glance.Therefore, curiosity is not so obvious in him.

But that doesn't mean Edogawa Ranpo doesn't have this quality.

So he said it, and said in a complaining tone: "——you are still in a daze! Obviously I have already returned! Master Ranbu is going to be angry, what is so beautiful in the sky outside!"

This guy has no ill feeling towards the detective agency, and can even relax himself easily in the detective agency—even the kind of ordinary people who have lived in a comfortable place since childhood, when they arrive in a strange place, it will be difficult to let go of the strangeness and instinct in their instincts. alert.How could it be possible to fall into a state of trance.

Unless you have strong confidence in your own strength, confident that no matter what happens, it will not exceed your expectations, and you can protect yourself.

Or...he has enough identification with the detective agency itself.

After all, no matter how you look at this person, he doesn't seem like the kind of character who is so nervous that he won't care about the unexpected environment.

What, what, I rushed back immediately because of you, but you were still looking at the sky outside the window!You can see the sky at any time, and the famous world's number one detective is right in front of you!You don't even turn around to see me!

Lord Ranpo is not happy!

As a result, the emotions that had just arisen for a short time all dissipated the moment the person in front of him turned around.

Like a punctured balloon, it deflated in an instant with a bang.

Those were a pair of eyes completely different from those of Edogawa Ranpo.

It's also a beautiful green color, but compared to Edogawa Ranpo, the guy in front of him, his eyes, are more like marbles when he usually plays - clean, clear, and you can tell it's fake at a glance .

The brain was working non-stop, realizing that there was a word that would hurt the other party in the words he said, Edogawa Ranpo pursed his lips a little uneasily.

Mr. Detective is not a person with strong human feelings. He doesn't care about the blood stained on Izumi Kyoka's hands, and he doesn't care about Dazai Osamu's status as a former port mafia cadre.Even if someone died in front of him, there would not be much disturbance in his heart.

Edogawa Ranpo is very selfish, he never cares about other people's thoughts—except, of course, the president.

He shouldn't feel uneasy about someone he's only met once.

Well, that's how emotions are born.

There was an awkward silence in the room.There was no Edogawa Ranpo speaking, Kunikida Doppo frowned and did not move, Nakajima Atsushi looked left and right without even figuring out which one was the real Mr. Ranpo.

Osamu Dazai was still sitting on the sofa calmly, with his eyes half closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Ordinary staff members know that this is not a world they can touch and pay attention to, so they consciously leave this office temporarily.

I can't see it all the time, but I can also know how shocked these people are when my vest appears in this world.

So quiet, do you want to say something?Shi Wu didn't know what to do, so after thinking about it, he decided to leave it to the instinct possessed by the vest, as before.

Just like showing a natural smile in front of the white death before.

The suppression of Shi Wu himself that comes with the vest is not to make Shi Wu lose himself, but a transfer of emotional behavior - simply to let Shi Wu know, what will happen to him at this time, with this character of the vest Do.

I don't deny that it will have an impact on Shiwu himself, but the impact is not too bad.

Shi Wu himself understands himself, his own acting skills are really not very good, but his own personality is too dull, and the color is like transparency.That's why it seems that the 10% instinctive reaction becomes 100% normal when it is expressed.

It's like dropping a drop of ink into a glass of colorless water, which can easily turn the glass black.This is much more conspicuous than dripping ink in a glass of water of another color.

He should be...

Shi Wu tilted his head, and suddenly brought up a topic that was completely out of tune with the current atmosphere: "That thick snack tastes great! It would be great if it could be sweeter——"

"..." Edogawa blinked his eyes randomly, folded his hands and snorted in a nasal voice, and said in a brisk voice, "A-Dun should have bought that thick snack for me! "

"But if it's you, it's okay to let Ranpo-sama share a little bit—in fact, I also think it would be better if it could be sweeter!"

While talking, Edogawa Ranpo looked like he was thinking of something, and trotted to his exclusive office, and took out a bunch of snacks from the cabinet.

Then, under the blank eyes of other people, he smiled and said to the person standing by the window: "You ka... come and taste these! Ranpo-sama-recommended!"

It's almost like twin elementary school student brothers...! !

Looking at the two people sitting together on the sofa sharing snacks, seeing their identical faces, Atsushi Nakajima complained in his heart.

No, let’s talk about it—Atsushi Nakajima sneaked up to Kunikida Doppo who hadn’t recovered yet: "Well, Mr. Kunikida?"

"What's the matter, Atsushi." Kunikida Doppo's glasses reflected opaque light, looking extremely reliable.

Atsushi Nakajima asked cautiously: "Mr. Ranpo, does he... have any twin brothers?"

"I don't know." Kunikida Doppo replied.Logically speaking, if it is really a blood brother, it is impossible for Mr. Ranpo not to mention it once in such a long time...?

No matter how reliable it looks on the surface, in fact, Kunikida Doppo has been completely confused.If it weren't for the daytime, he even suspected that he had seen a ghost.

Moreover, on the way back, Mr. Ranpo also mentioned that he might be an enemy or something—how come he even shared his favorite snacks now!

Osamu Dazai saw the status of the other two people present, so he reconnected himself online, and asked with a smile: "Isn't it okay to ask Mr. Ranpo directly for this kind of thing?"

Thus, three pairs of curious eyes met the two detectives who were sitting on the sofa and whispering something.

Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his face when the conversation was interrupted: "Are you idiots? Isn't it obvious at a glance!"

"His purpose in coming to the detective agency—it was revealed from the very beginning!"

Probably getting used to the "stupidity" of his colleagues, Edogawa Ranpo said bluntly: "He has lost his memory! He doesn't remember anything—the purpose of coming to the detective agency is to confirm his identity!"

This time, even Osamu Dazai was surprised, but not surprised.

However, if it is amnesia... Then, why does this "Mr. Ranpo" know about his abilities?Osamu Dazai recalled Tokimu's behavior of letting him stretch out his hand just now.

As for Atsushi Nakajima, he immediately recalled that this person who looked exactly like Mr. Ranpo started calling him Atsushi after Mr. Kunikida said his name on the phone.

So at that time, was it actually a cliché?

Shi Wu couldn't see the reactions of other people, but there was a smile almost indistinguishable from Edogawa Ranpo's on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, yes, isn't it obvious at a glance? I thought I was obvious enough."

The man who had the same appearance as their Mr. Detective narrowed his eyes and said with a smile on his face: "Since you are a detective agency, are you willing to accept this commission?"

"—For me, retrieve my lost memory."

The author has something to say:

Tokira: I'm telling the truth, I really don't know about Ranpo Edogawa's social relationship and past.I just know this is my vest identity.
