The middle two are set to come true

012: Career Planning

Ise Hai, who left the port of Mafia, rushed to the next trip, and he only had three days to deal with everything.

Following the address given by Akiko Yosano, he came to a red-brown building. Under the guidance of the manager of the coffee shop on the first floor, he took an old-fashioned elevator to the door of the Armed Detective Agency on the fourth floor.

Ise Kai knocked on the door, and it was a female office worker wearing glasses who came to open the door.

"I had a client who had an appointment with Ms. Yosano before."

Clerk: "Then please wait in the reception room first, and I'll call Dr. Xie Ye right away."

Isekai shook his head, looked past her, and saw the black-haired detective playing with a toy that comes with a snack at the desk, and walked over with a smile, "I brought some gifts for Ranbu-kun."

Butter biscuits and donuts with a milky scent were placed on Edogawa Ranpo's table. The black-haired detective opened his emerald green eyes to look at Ise Kai, and then returned to his carefree appearance.

"Really, are you provoking the famous detective on purpose?" A more intense smell of gunpowder lingered at the tip of his nose, making Edogawa Ranpo think of the previous situation.

The clerks around didn't understand what he meant, but as the instigator, Ise Hai, the smile on his face became bigger and bigger.

"I want to see Ranpo-kun's supernatural ability—super reasoning. No matter how many times I see such a powerful supernatural ability, I won't get tired of it."

He missed the feeling of crisis in his heart last time, which brought him a different kind of joy.

This time, he really came with the smell of gunpowder on purpose.

Usually, when people reveal any flaws, they will try their best to cover them up, but he does the opposite, reproducing and amplifying the flaws, which makes people wonder—is this an interference item?Thus eliminating the correct answer from the start.

But can such a technique really confuse a famous detective?

Isekai thought it was impossible, he was just probing step by step.

"A famous detective has no obligation to show you."

Isekai pushed the biscuits and donuts forward, and Edogawa Ranpo lay on the table and held the bag in his arms, like a western dragon guarding his treasures, "This is an apology from last time, it can't be counted .”

Ise Hai, who specially brought extra donuts, paused for a moment, his handsome face was full of regret, his slightly curly hair drooped down, his blue eyes became like the sky before the rain, and his red hair seemed to be Dim a little.

Almost no one has the heart to refuse him like this.

But Edogawa Ranpo was the exception. The black-haired detective turned his face away and didn't let go.

Ise Kai sighed as if giving up, and glanced at what looked like the president's office.

It doesn't seem to work this time, why don't we create some opportunities?

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly became furious, "The president won't accept that commission."

Then he met Ise Kai's delighted eyes.

Ise Kai was really happy. At first, he thought that Edogawa Ranpo's terrifying insight was brought by a supernatural power, but just now, Edogawa Ranpo did not activate the supernatural power like last time, but Still accurately reasoned out his plan.

This means that he has deduced where he just came from.

Ise Kai lowered his head and glanced at the handbag. On the cover of the project proposal, there were only the words Yokohama Matsuri, but the name of the port Mafia was not mentioned.

That is to say, Edogawa Ranpo has seen through the current situation, and with just a few clues, he has deduced what kind of event the Yokohama Festival he is going to hold, what issues need to be considered, and the smell of gunpowder deliberately left on him Where did it come from.

This is the wonderful feeling of being seen through!

The pores all over the body are screaming, the blood vessels dilate, the scalp is numb, and there is a tingling feeling from the inside out.He couldn't help but want to challenge the opponent again and again, to reproduce this kind of excitement, and to see how far the opponent can see through himself.

Isekai is becoming more and more interested in him, especially his supernatural ability—is that really a supernatural ability?

He secretly wrote it down.

After reading the information of the armed detective agency organized systematically, Ise Kai noticed that there were only two partners in the detective agency at the beginning, that is, the current president of the detective agency Yukichi Fukuzawa and Ranpo Edogawa. In some early reports and You can also see relevant content in the evaluation.

In addition, when he first met Ranpo, the two also acted together, he speculated that the relationship between the two should be very good - at least Edogawa Ranpo's character was obviously favored.

So, just now, Ise Kai came up with an idea—to entrust the president, who is said to have worked as a bodyguard in the past, to protect Mori Ogai on the day of the Yokohama Festival.

His original intention was to invite them to the Yokohama Festival through this method, so as to further observe Edogawa Ranpo's ability, and at the same time be able to deal with the old fox from Mafia at the port.

I didn't expect Ranbu-jun's reaction to be so big.Could it be... Mr. President and Mori Ogai are old acquaintances?

Ise Sea has harvested a piece of information to be verified.

Edogawa Ranpo also saw something from his joyful and undisguised expression, he eased down and curled his lips, asking: "If you want to invite Ranpo-sama to play, why don't you invite him well?"

Isekai quickly nodded and admitted his mistake: "I'm worried that Ranpo-kun is still angry with me, I'm sorry. Now I want to invite Ranpo-kun to participate in the Yokohama Festival that day, is that okay?"

Edogawa Ranpo did not agree directly, but folded his arms and said, "Master Ranpo is very busy!"

Although Yi Sekai didn't see any files on his desktop, he didn't question it.

He looked at the micro-expression of "expectation" on Edogawa Ranpo's face, and smiled.Although he knew that the famous detective didn't bother to disguise his emotions, Isekai still felt a kind of "coming and going".

It was as if they were fighting with small sticks, and ended up with two balls of marshmallows at the end.

"This Yokohama Festival is very important to the students. I am also very worried that someone will fish in troubled waters. I want to entrust Ranpo-kun to prevent possible crimes on the scene. If the world's No.1 detective Ranpo-kun is involved, I think the event will be sure." It was able to run very smoothly.”

Edogawa Ranbu squinted his eyes and raised his chin triumphantly, like a black cat plucked to satisfaction, "Then there is no way, such a major event, how can it be done without a detective."

Famous detectives don't go for the various limited snacks at the event!

Ah, I really want to lick the cat.

Isekai saw his expression in his eyes and couldn't help thinking.

At this time, Yosano Akiko who was called by the clerk also came out.

After Yosano Akiko came out of the medical room, she looked around and pointed at a blond boy wearing glasses, "Kunikida, I'm entrusting you with this commission."

Then he said to Ise Kai: "I am a doctor, and investigating cases is not my specialty. This is the intern Kunikida Doppo[1] in the company, the president's disciple. Although he is young, he has already skipped a grade to go to university , is an unexpectedly reliable man, trust him."

Ise Kai has no objection to this arrangement, if it is not for Edogawa Ranpo, then it doesn't matter who comes.

The 16-year-old Kunikida Doppo raised his head, looked at the client, and wondered why the main investigator, Mr. Ranpo, was not in charge of the case. Obviously, the two of them knew each other very well, but he quickly got into the mood and brought Ise Kai Please go to the reception room on the side.

Ise Kai recounted the content of the commission as before, and took out the set of pajamas.

"This is the pajamas I was wearing when I was found on the beach in Yokohama."

Kunikida Doppo put down his pen and notebook for taking notes, said "Excuse me", and unfolded the pajamas.

It was a set of juvenile-sized silk pajamas, with a strong European medieval style. There were no washing labels or size labels on the clothes, and they were very clean and without any patterns.Kunikida Doppo took a closer look, only to notice that the stitching of this suit was different from the usual ones. It was completely hand-sewn, with fine and orderly stitches, and it was actually more beautiful than machines.

He immediately realized that this must be an important clue.

To be able to wear such handmade pajamas, the client's previous family background was either rich or expensive, so the possibility of being kidnapped is even greater.

"I will start with the police's missing persons list, some criminal records from two years ago, and the testimony provided by your guardian." After understanding the whole situation, Kunikida Doppo said rigorously, pushing his glasses.

"Then I will trouble you." The authority of the Armed Detective Agency is indeed not small.

Ise Hai paid the commission and left.

His last trip today is the city hall in Naka Ward, Yokohama.As he said to Mori Ogai earlier, this time the Yokohama Festival must be led by the government to raise the flag.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary students to easily meet government officials who have the right to speak. It would be a waste of time to progress step by step, but Ise Kai does not have this distress.

Because he has a friend named Akashi Seijuro.When he left school yesterday, he asked the other party to make an appointment with the mayor for him.

The receptionist said respectfully: "Mr. Isekai... I found out. Mr. Akashi did make an appointment for you to meet with the mayor before. Please wait a moment, I will contact the mayor's office."

[It's so easy to see the mayor. 】The system flicked through the information it had found, and immediately clicked its tongue, 【So it turns out that the Akashi family is one of the four major chaebols in Japan, and there are also Shinomiya and Caitora... The player also mentioned him before, and he is so powerful Eldest young master. 】

"Schools with a high deviation value will regularly hold national student union fellowship activities, and if they have a good relationship, they will also hold some inter-school activities. By the way, the eldest lady of the Shinomiya family happens to be the vice president of Shuzhiyuan Academy." While waiting, Isekai explained to him in his idle time.

Hearing this, the system casually flipped through the official website of Haichang High School, saw the long list of inter-school activities that only appeared after Ise Kai took office, and fell silent.

Its players are also very popular.

Just as the receptionist put down the phone to say something, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards the door.

A middle-aged man led several people wearing golden rabbit masks in. Although they didn't say a word, someone guided them respectfully and pressed the elevator button.

They kept on walking and walked into the elevator vigorously, and no one dared to stop them.

The receptionist also changed his previous reaction and said apologetically to Ise Hai: "Sorry, the mayor is receiving distinguished guests, please wait a moment."

Ise Hai noticed that the parking floor displayed by the elevator was on the same floor as the mayor's office on the information column, and it seemed that those people were the mayor's distinguished guests.

He smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, then I'll just wait."

Ise Hai walked to the rest area and heard some employees discussing in low voices.

An employee who seemed to be a newcomer asked, "Who are those people in strange clothes just now?"

The person next to him explained: "That's Feishiyuan and Rabbit, the clan of the one in the Imperial Pillar Tower."

Of course Isekai knew about the Pillar Tower. In this country, no one knew about the powerful King of Gold in the Pillar Tower.

The King of Gold is the second king. It is rumored that his clan is all elites from all walks of life, and people respectfully call him Lord Yuqian.

The kings here are not the princes in the position, but the kings with power beyond ordinary people with supernatural powers. There are seven people in total.The king can bestow extraordinary abilities on ordinary people, and these acquired extraordinary abilities are generally called clans.

But the selection method of the king has always been a mystery to the people.

Despite having such enormous power and power, the king has very little information on the Internet.

Isekai had only seen some news sporadically in the past, and this was the first time he had seen the clan of the king with his own eyes.

The system always felt that he was making trouble again, and asked keenly: [What is the player thinking? 】

"This king of gold sounds like a big boss behind the scenes, right? It's really exciting." Ise Hai smiled and said, "Pan Dora's character is also a boss behind the scenes, and he is also a prince. You Don't you think it is very suitable for usurping the throne?"

The system trembled, [But this big boss is too big, right?Moreover, from the existing information, it seems that the selection of the king is not a conventional method, and usurping the throne may not work at all. 】

"I'll talk about the details later. I'm just thinking about my career plan. The invitation of Mori Ogai made me think of this."

Ise Kai looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the rest area, "I will finish high school well, and I have already experienced campus life. When I go to college, I plan to skip a grade and graduate like Kunikida-kun in the detective agency today."

"I want a more ambitious goal, so that it will be more motivated. When I set up an organization, this matter should also be put on the agenda." Ise Hai curled his lips, "We can't just stare blankly together Don't do business, that's not okay."

System: [Could it be that your business is...]

Isekai smirked and blinked, "Shh—it's not the time yet."
