Mr. Oda and his friends

"At least this person didn't leave the border, he's really brave..."

Ranpo Edogawa took off his glasses after reading all the clues: "The hiding place is in Saitama, there is nothing wrong with it. And the strange reward about Hiyori was also made by this guy."

"Oh, huh?"

Oda Sakunosuke was very surprised: "A reward? Hiyori?"

He hastily turned on his phone, logged in to a hidden website with his previous account, and fell silent after searching: "..."

The location where the photo was taken is distinctive, and it is obvious at a glance that it is in Okinawa.So here comes the problem. Those who know that Hiyori went to Okinawa are only a few high school students in the magic circle.Judging from the angle and Hiyori's relaxed demeanor, the person who snapped this photo happened to be standing in front of her not far away.

——Who provided this photo to the bounty hunter?

After thinking for a moment, Oda Sakunosuke dialed Xia Youjie's phone, and after pressing the power amplifier, he put the phone on the table so that Edogawa Ranpo could hear clearly.

"Oda-kun, you called so soon, did you find something wrong?" Xia You's voice came through the radio, and Oda Sakunosuke looked down at Hiyori who was next to him: "There is nothing particularly important. I just want to ask you, did Hiyori take a lot of photos when she was in Okinawa? I want to find a few photos of her and Tiannai, develop them and hang them up."

"Photos? I have a few here, and Wu has some too. But wait, the earlier phone was broken when it encountered Fu Hei, please ask the supervisor to restore the data."

Xia Youjie seemed to be in a much better mood than before, as if thinking about it.Before Oda Sakunosuke finished, a detective approached and said loudly: "I suggest you arrest that supervisor as soon as possible, otherwise he won't live for long."

The person on the other side of the phone was obviously taken aback, and quickly responded as if thinking of something: "What? Is there something wrong with the photo?"

"Well, the person who offered the reward to Tennai is hiding in Saitama, and now she is offering a reward to Hiyori again, using the photo of Okinawa." Oda Sakunosuke didn't hide his thoughts, and answered truthfully: "I I will guard the day and, as for the matter of the magic world, you can solve it yourself."

No matter how the other person reacted, he hung up the phone after simple social rhetoric: "I'll go and explain the situation to President Fukuzawa first."

Rihe stared eagerly at the red-haired young man as he walked to the president's office and knocked on the door. He didn't lie down on the table until he entered the office.

Is Sakunosuke still angry?Why don't you talk to me?

On the other side, Sakunosuke Oda opened the door to enter the president's office after getting permission. The first time he saw Fukuzawa Yukichi, he lowered his head and let out a thunder: "President, I want to pursue Hiyori, please allow me."

Fukuzawa Yukichi almost threw out the teacup he was carrying: "..."

Do you want to try a knife?

"I will not interfere in the private affairs of the members." After holding back for a long time, Mr. President choked out such a sentence. Only the teacup holder that was almost crushed could know his mood at the moment.

"It's a personal matter for me, but Hiyori is your adopted child, and you are her most respected elder. It should be allowed by you in terms of reason and reason."

Mr. Oda put on a capybara-like expression and said sincerely: "I have thought a lot during the days when I went to Tokyo to investigate the Panxing Sect."

"The outside world is too dangerous. I can't rest assured no matter if I leave Hiyori in anyone's hands. Instead of always being so involved and constantly hurting others and myself, why not try to see if she is willing to accept my long-term company."

Hearing him say such a long string, Fukuzawa Yukichi's frozen expression changed: "What did you encounter in Tokyo?"

If it weren't for this guy's good behavior after washing his hands, the president might not have been able to listen patiently for so long, let alone give him a chance to "argument".

The red-haired youth took a deep breath: "Well, it's mainly the Panxing Sect..."

"Many followers of the Panxing Sect are just ordinary people. They have an economic foundation and a certain social status. They often have various good reputations in the communities where they live. For example, they are charitable, enthusiastic about public welfare, and so on."

Even the current "leader" of the Panxing Cult is a middle-aged man with a chubby face, a kind smile, and a benevolent face.His life can even be described as "simple", and all his efforts and energy are devoted to worshiping and praising "Tianyuan".

Just... You believers, paying a lot of money to ask someone to kill the possessed object of your god, no matter how you think about it, you find it incomprehensible.As for the concept of "I can't accept Lord Tianyuan being defiled by ordinary people", according to the explanation given by Xia You, if there is no assimilation of Riko Tennei, whether that "Master Tianyuan" can keep his heels in the human sequence still needs to be discussed. His believers directly changed the biological classification of idols.

The conjurers just want Tian Yuan to live well, and it doesn't matter if he struggles at all, his followers really want him to die.

Oda Sakunosuke scratched his hair, and continued with a confused expression: "At first, Xia You and I were very surprised, why these people who can be called standard good people in various senses would raise money to hire a murderer to murder a girl whom they had never met before. This kind of appalling thing, even counting the time I was a killer before, is only one case."

"It was only later that I realized that no one can simply be replaced by Facebook. It is also an unfair stereotype that fanatic religious believers should be crazy and violent. Why do they believe in Tianyuan, and why are they so devout that they are willing to Do you want to 'protect' an illusory image after dissipating your wealth? In addition to the instigation of the leader, the more important thing is that they have become accustomed not to look at those 'invisible tears'."

As long as it is not themselves who pay the heavy price, it is a burden they can bear.

After listening to brainwashing courses for so long, Oda Sakunosuke realized that it is much easier to deceive a group of people to do something bad than to push a person into a fire pit alone.

Last time the victim was Riko Amouchi whom he didn't know, what about next time?What about next time?Maybe it will be Hiyori.Then think about those two boys who always abduct her and run out to play. They look decent and energetic, but in fact one is more unreliable than the other, so I really can't rest assured!

Of course, the excitement of that night was really... It was hard to calm down.At this point, if you continue to deceive yourself and say that you have no other ideas, you will look down on yourself.But this kind of thing can't be said in front of the president, otherwise the two people in the room will definitely go to the hospital and the police station.

"Having said that, the behavior of the Panxing Sect can almost be regarded as a cult, and it should be possible to file a lawsuit."

Especially the reward for Hiyori that he just found out-what does it have to do with us, a Yokohama native, if you people from Tokyo make trouble?Not to mention that Yokohama is in Tokyo. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as being next to and trampled under by the political center. Many statistics here are counted alone!

"Leave these to me. Do you know who is behind the scenes?" President Fukuzawa tried hard to forget the thunder that Oda threw when he entered the door, and even tried to choose unrelated topics when speaking: " Or is it that the other party's identity is tricky?"

"No, Xia You said that the rest should be left to him and Wujo. I thought about it, and it should be no problem just to fight the two of them. The internal disputes between the magicians should be resolved by the magicians themselves. "

Oda Sakunosuke nodded seriously: "I think it's okay."

People with supernatural powers can't see ordinary curse spirits clearly. No matter how tall or hideous the opponent is, they are all black mist in his eyes.Don't have all kinds of unexplained layoffs as soon as the war starts. When the time comes, the work and output will not fall well, and it will make people look at the joke for nothing.

It seems that the conversation should come to an end here. However, when President Fukuzawa secretly planned to pretend that he hadn't heard Oda's words "I want to pursue Hiyori", the latter was still brooding about not getting a positive response from the elders. .

"So, President, I plan to pursue Hiyori, please allow me."

If the word "pursuit" is replaced with "begging to marry", such a solemn attitude will not be inappropriate, so Fukuzawa Yukichi's ears hurt especially when he heard it.

"I don't have any permission or disallowance. Even if I adopt Hiyori, I won't interfere in her life. On the contrary, you, first think about what else is hiding from her and not telling her frankly?"

"what……"

Oda Sakunosuke: "Just, a little bit, I will take Hiyori to see the previously adopted children tomorrow, and I will take care of this matter."

Although I don't have much confidence in my heart, it must be made clear that I can't continue to procrastinate.

It would be great if Hiyori was willing to accept those orphans, but if she didn't, that's fine too.He will continue to raise and support those children, it’s just a matter of taking a few more commissions, whether it’s looking for a cat or being a bodyguard, he’s fine
