When Edgar Allan Poe walked out of the castle in a daze, the Edogawa Rampo outside had disappeared for a long time. He recalled in disbelief that he had just sorted out a lot of clues more than an hour ago. When you arrive at the scene.

At that time, he already had a clear guess as to who the prisoner was, but because he couldn't find any evidence that could clearly identify him, so when he was planning to search for the last crime scene, he heard the teenager inside say two things. A sentence in Japanese that he doesn't understand.

He subconsciously felt that something was wrong. After rushing over, he saw the young man whom he regarded as a strong opponent with a relaxed face and said, "I won this competition. I have found the criminal."

Edgar Allan Poe was stunned, and opened his mouth subconsciously, "I, I found it too, but what about the evidence?"

"Of course, I have already dug it out." Edogawa Ranpo in front of him was not at all worried that Poe would steal his achievements. He jumped and said it, not worried at all whether the people in front of him could understand him.

Edgar Allan Poe could really follow his speech. Listening to Edogawa Ranpo's messy words, Edgar Allan Poe finally understood what was going on in this case, and finally knew where he was. Crucial evidence is missing.

"That's it!" Edogawa said with his hands on his hips, "I'm leaving now, bye."

"Wait, please wait!" Poe quickly stood up, "You are Edogawa Ranpo, right, I am Edgar..."

Before he finished speaking, Edogawa Ranpo was already impatient to listen to his self-introduction, and turned around to leave.

"I, I will definitely, I will go to Japan to challenge you again!" Edgar Allan Poe shouted hastily, his voice even echoed in the castle, and he has been standing by the side watching Edogawa Ranpo Fukuzawa Yukichi showed him an admiring look.

"I'm waiting for you, come on—" Edogawa Ranpo waved him, then strode away from this somewhat gloomy place, intending to happily go back to point out the culprit and receive the reward.

When going to receive the award, Edogawa Ranpo showed his attitude towards those idiot police officers in China. Although it was not very good, at least he broke everything down and explained to them.

Naturally, it is not the simple American police who will bring up such a case, but they are also the elite of the FBI. Once Edogawa Ranpo breaks down many things, they will immediately react, which makes Edogawa Ranpo a little happy some.

"That's why I'm a real detective!" Holding the trophy, Edogawa proudly announced himself loudly on the podium.

"Father, hurry up, take me up there!" Kudo Shinichi kept urging his father. After all, after awarding the trophies, the prizes are given out, and then it is almost a banquet to celebrate. Now he only thinks about getting his idol as soon as possible. signature.

The same is true for Kudo Yusaku. The cases brought up by the FBI made his scalp tingle, but how long did it take for the young man in front of him to solve all the cases? After Edogawa's father, he also began to I adore this young man who is not yet 18.

"Congratulations on your victory." Kudo Yusaku handed over the reward in his hand-a large check in an envelope, and then pushed his son, "This is my son, he admires you very much, may I ask you Can you sign him?"

Having won the competition and received a large sum of money, Ranpo Edogawa, feeling the cheers from the crowd, nodded in a very good temper, "No problem..."

He took the signature board and fountain pen handed over by Kudo Shinichi who was so excited that he was a little uneasy, and quickly signed his name on it. When he handed it over, Kudo Shinichi shouted excitedly: "Master Ranpo First!"

After hearing his words, Edogawa Ranpo became even more proud, he almost put on a classic villain smile, "Of course, you just worship me!"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Edogawa Ranpo with sparkling eyes, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

On the contrary, Yusaku Kudo was a little dumbfounded. After sending the check, he sent his own set of complete works, "This is my humble work, I hope you like it."

"Ah, yes, you wrote the Duke of Darkness." Edogawa ranpo took these hardcover books, glanced at the spine and said, "I have read it, it's too simple, but take it It's fun to play with kids."

Kudo Yusaku showed a helpless look on his face. Indeed, no matter what kind of mystery novel, in this person's eyes, everything will become simple, but he can get a comment of "quite interesting", he thinks You should be happy.

Edgar Allan Poe also saw this scene, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, should he also publish the things he wrote before?In this way, maybe Ranbu will read his novel?

Thinking of this, Edgar Allan Poe clenched his fists, yes, he is the king of mystery novels!

At the banquet that followed, Edogawa Ranpo let go of his stomach and had a good time. At this moment of celebration, even Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yosano Akiko would not restrict his diet, but when he went back, he would It's hard to say.

Let's stop talking about such a sad topic.

Because it was a large banquet, and no one would stare at them deliberately, several people actually secretly tasted the alcoholic beverages on the wine table.

Ranpo doesn't like things that taste spicy, so after a little sip of champagne, he dislikes the lack of bubbles in champagne and runs to drink carbonated drinks.At the instigation of Osamu Dazai, Nakahara took a sip of champagne, but felt that the taste of champagne was astonishing, and he only held the glass of champagne carefully throughout the banquet.

On the other side, Oda Sakunosuke was also urged by Osamu Dazai to bring two glasses of whiskey over. His appearance was so old-fashioned that even the banquet service staff didn't think there was anything wrong with him bringing whiskey.

He and Osamu Dazai held a glass of whiskey and sipped sips, feeling a sense of pleasure in stealing a drink, and under the stimulation of alcohol, he also began to understand the joy of drinking.

Only Osamu Dazai drank champagne and whiskey for a while, and wanted to try brandy after a while, but was stopped by Sakunosuke Oda.It's fine to steal a drink, but it's really bad if you drink so much, and drinking alcohol is really not a good thing for your health. If President Fukuzawa sees it, he will definitely criticize them.

As a result, when they went back, the alcohol smell on the three people was still noticed by the sensitive big cat. Yujimaomao hurriedly drove them all to take a bath, and Yujimaomao's unusual reaction also made Edogawa Ranbu noticed it, and he smiled and watched the panicked movements of the three people, but he didn't tell Fukuzawa Yukichi the truth.

After the awards, Yukichi Maomao took Kunikida Doppo and Akutagawa brothers and sisters to visit Manhattan. Kunikida Doppo thought that he was not a full member of the detective agency and should not attend such a banquet held only for members of the detective agency.Although everyone felt that the kid was too serious, no one stopped him.After all, this seriousness is really a rare and good quality.

After the Akutagawa brothers and sisters heard Kunikida's reason, they also thought that they were the same, and the big cat couldn't eat after entering the banquet, so it's better for them to leave together and go shopping elsewhere.

After hearing this, Fukuzawa Yukichi agreed to their idea of ​​going out for a walk together, and at the same time repeatedly urged them not to wander around. If they encounter trouble, they must report to the police and the Japanese embassy in time.

Kunikida Doppo wrote them down one by one in his notebook, and then he took the two children and followed Yukichi to the streets of Manhattan for a stroll.

Edogawa Ranpo, however, concluded that they can rest assured to go out for a stroll, and there will be no problems.

So not long after they left the venue, they met Earl D head-on, Kunikida Doppo instantly understood what Edogawa Ranpo meant.Under the leadership of Earl D, they had a taste of the scenery of Manhattan and had an American-style fast food before being sent back to the hotel by Earl D.

So the next day, when they planned to return to China after spending two days in the United States according to the itinerary, a call from Japan shocked them all.

"The start of school has been postponed?" Kunikida Doppo kept asking over the phone in disbelief, "Mom and Dad, are you all right?"

Kunikida's father said very relaxedly, "Since you went to the United States, your mother and I have moved back to our hometown in Kamakura. Now we are all safe in Kamakura."

"Great..." Kunikida Doppo heaved a sigh of relief, "I see, I will take care of myself."

When he hung up the phone, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"To put it simply, the chaos in Yokohama has escalated, and the school has postponed the start date again, and the start date is even unknown, right?" Dazai Osamu quickly concluded.

"Well, Dad also said that the teams that go out to compete in the school are currently keeping them outside and not letting them come back." Kunikida Doppo said with a sigh.

"This is really..." Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned, "But the departure time written on our passport seems to be at the end of August?"

It was just over a week from the time on their passports.

"Can I only stay in Tokyo after going back?" Yosano Akiko said a little depressed.But compared to staying in Tokyo, it was better than staying in Wanxiangtang.

"Stay in the United States for another two days, and we'll go back to China." Fukuzawa Yukichi made a final decision, and he looked at Kunikida Doppo who was a little surprised, "Didn't you promise your friends to watch their games? You probably haven't arrived yet." The final final, right?"

"Thank you, master!" Kunikida Doppo immediately bowed at ninety degrees.
