cat blues

When Oda Sakunosuke came out of the study, he saw a three-colored cat running away from the house, and couldn't help being curious, "Chuya, who was that three-colored cat just now?"

"It seems to be a stray cat nearby. After seeing it, Mr. Yukichi probably wanted to be friends with it, so he tried to feed it?" Nakahara Zhong also said not very sure, "But I think that the cat Maybe it was just to hang around, but after being fed by Mr. Yukichi... you should be able to see it often in the future, right?"

"Doesn't cats generally have a strong sense of territory?" Oda Sakunosuke asked curiously, "Didn't Mr. Ranpo tease the dog on the road before, and Mr. Yukichi chased after him even if he was lame? Did he spray deodorant?"

"But that's for dogs, right? Yukichi-san is quite friendly towards cats?" Chu also said uncertainly.

"Well, I don't know." Both teenagers fell into deep thought.

The truth is actually simpler than they imagined. The big cat Yuji would take the initiative to feed the three-colored cat just because it heard the gossip of the little monsters in the yard.

"Wow, look quickly, this is a male Sanhua!"

"Is there anything special about Gongsanhua?"

"The male three-flowered cat is said to bring wealth to people, and the lucky cat is said to be made after the male three-flowered cat."

The sound of several little monsters curiously pointing at the cat lying on the wall reached the ears of the black cat Yukichi, as a money fan who usually flips through the passbook to look at the savings to relieve stress when he is irritable The cat, when he heard that the male Sanhua cat has such a practical feature of attracting money, he immediately stood up from the ground and fed the cat with his favorite things.

I just didn't expect this male Sanhua to dislike canned cat food and cat pudding, but prefer small dried fish...

The black cat Yukichi looked at the unpacked canned cat food and cat pudding, and felt very sad. He thought for a long time, and finally decided that he would eat them in order not to waste food!

When Nakaya returned to the living room to sort out his notes, he happened to see the black cat eating happily, and he quickly pulled the sleeve of Oda Sakunosuke, "Oda Oda, do you think we usually let you eat?" Mr. Yukichi eats too little? After all, it is so big, but it only eats one can for each meal..."

"Indeed... I'm going to look for books about pets." Oda Sakunosuke also reached out and touched his chin. When he was sleeping with the cat and petting it, he found that although the black cat Yukichi looked big, But in fact it is really thin, it's just that the cat fur is fluffy.

The two teenagers worriedly planned to increase the amount of food fed to the big cat. After the big cat over there had eaten and drank enough, he returned to his seat and continued knitting. What he was going to knit this time was a sweater. Everyone knits one piece, so never get the stitches wrong.

On the other hand, Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo who visited around Kansai also had new gains.

For example, they finally officially understood what kind of person Natsume Soseki was.

In addition to being a former senior government adviser, Natsume Soseki is best known for his political disagreement with the King of Gold.

You know, the king of gold has been in control of Japan's economy since World War II, and he can be regarded as the uncrowned king of Japan in the true sense. Even Shibusawa Eiichi, who is currently the most prosperous, can only be regarded as a chaebol supported by him.

And Natsume Soseki not only refused to join the King of Gold's clan Ashikiin, but also repeatedly sang against the King of Gold after entering politics.

Not to mention, based on this alone, he can still stay in a high position steadily, and has connections all over the world. Even when he finally retires safely, it can be seen how powerful this Mr. Natsume Soseki is.

Although there have been rumors in the outside world that Natsume Soseki retired in his early 50s, whether there is a king of gold behind the scenes, but Edogawa Ranpo, after learning about the great achievements of this gentleman in detail, judged at a glance , Natsume Soseki's retirement is his own decision, and has nothing to do with external forces.

Although it is troublesome to deal with people he doesn't know, and even though he is required not to tell any secrets even if he finds out, it is very boring, but because of Mr. Fukuzawa's license to open with abilities, Ranpo Edogawa decided to endure it!

With such a great effort, when he goes back, he must ask Mr. Yuji to make super delicious snacks for him!Whether it's cakes or pastries, maybe you can take the opportunity to let Mr. Yukichi learn from Madeleine and Koruri. No, it's still macarons, right?Otherwise, Napoleon is not bad.

Edogawa Ranbu was thinking about the names of various desserts, and he was very obedient and didn't say anything along the way.

When they finally came out from an acquaintance of Fukuzawa Yukichi, Edogawa Ranpo finally got what he wanted most.The gentleman who was the governor of Osaka Prefecture at that time not only had a deep friendship with Fukuzawa Yukichi, but also had a lot of friendship with Fukuchi Sakurachi, who was with Fukuzawa Yukichi during the war and was called "Double Fuku".So after hearing about Fukuzawa Yukichi's intention to come, the other party originally wanted to use his reputation as a guarantee for Fukuzawa Yukichi, but in the end Fukuzawa Yukichi himself refused. When he was looking for Natsume Soseki, he also found himself What is missing now.

Because in the past, what he needed to do more was to kill, so now he especially needs to learn the method of protecting without killing, especially in the hands of "objects that cannot be seen and cannot be attacked". people on this point.

The governor of Osaka Prefecture smiled very happily for a long time, and then simply gave him a letter of recommendation, allowing him to go to the Ozhu Tower in Tokyo to inquire about the last few projects that Natsume Soseki worked on before leaving office.

"The Japanese government is really a pill. This kind of secret is actually kept in the Gozhu Tower instead of the government's functional department." Until he got on the Shinkansen back to Tokyo again, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help complaining about this. matter.

"... After all, he is the king of gold." Fukuzawa Yukichi has nothing to do about this. He is not good at politics, because he is not a person who likes to compromise in his bones, but politics is a game that must be compromised by multiple parties. , For the current situation in Japan, he can only express such emotion.

"I'm not blaming you, Mr. Fukuzawa." Edogawa Ranpo put his hands behind his head, "It's just that I understand why Mr. Natsume Soseki disagrees with the King of Gold."

Fukuzawa Yukichi had no choice but to respond with wordless silence.

Tokyo's development is faster than Yokohama. After all, this is the central city of Japan, and the King of Gold is also here. Compared with Yokohama, which is still relatively chaotic, Tokyo's overall sense of technology is stronger. cut.

"Sure enough, we still need to work harder." Edogawa Ranpo muttered, and took the recommendation letter and walked towards the Opillar Tower in Nanakamado, Tokyo. "The road is too long!"

The boy complained loudly.

Yuzhu Tower is a confidential area, there is no direct bus at all, even a taxi will only drive to the nearby area, there is no direct transportation at all.If you want to enter the Imperial Pillar Tower, you have to drive a private car, or choose to walk honestly, so it's no wonder why the teenager complained so loudly.

The young man's voice attracted the attention of quite a few passers-by. The people who would come and go here were either national politicians or financial dignitaries, or they were scholars from all walks of life. The young man yelled loudly, causing many people to show strange expressions.

But neither the boy in student attire nor the silver-haired man in kimono who followed him closely did not feel uncomfortable or nervous about the surrounding environment at all. They just walked indifferently, just like walking on any ordinary road. .

Soon someone recognized the silver-haired man in green shirt walking behind, and the security personnel rushed over immediately and guided them to where they wanted to go.

After all, they came here with a letter of recommendation, and the content they were looking for was not something that needed to be kept secret, so their application was quickly approved, and Edogawa quickly found what he was looking for.

"Yokohama's subway line plan." Edogawa Ranpo looked at the document in his hand, with a confident smile on his lips, "Is it here?"
