Ango Sakaguchi came to the detective agency to handle the follow-up handover of the "Apostle Apostle Incident".

After several days of investigation by the detective agency, Kunikida and Dazai finally found out the "serial disappearance of Yokohama travelers", "announcement bomb incident", "hijacking incident by criminal organization" and a series of messy cases. The "inducer" who manipulated all this behind the scenes - the "victim" they rescued in the first disappearance, Sasaki Nobuko,

This is an extremely smart and dangerous woman, she looks so fragile, pure and fragile like a lily, but she tricks everyone, no matter if it is a criminal or a detective agency, she is unknowingly caught by her Leading by the nose, all the choices and actions that seemed to be made by her were actually pulled by her unconsciously.

Through some small details, to lure out the murderous intent in other people's hearts, and then take the life of the third person, the extremely ingenious decision-making made it impossible for the judiciary to convict her of the crime of "instigator". "Criminals Who Can't Be Sanctioned".

This ability to manipulate people's hearts gave Ango Sakaguchi a familiar feeling.The judiciary was unable to convict Nobuko Sasaki, but it was absolutely impossible for the government to continue to let her go unpunished. Therefore, after weighing the balance, the higher-ups finally made a decision, adopted someone's suggestion, and imprisoned this person who is well versed in criminal psychology. "Absorbed" into the government's system, making her a "tool" for the central criminal investigation agency.

And the "someone" who made the suggestion...

Standing at the door of the detective agency, Ango Sakaguchi adjusted his glasses, watching the accompanying secret service bodyguard knock on the door with the nameplate of "Armed Detective Agency".

There were footsteps in the house, and the door was quickly opened from the inside. A young man with black and disheveled hair greeted them with a bright smile on his face and entered the club.

"Oh, are you an official from the Secret Service Division? Hello, hello, Osamu Dazai, a newcomer to my detective agency not long ago, thank you for your visit." Dazai said with a smile, waiting for the two of them to come in, and closed the door He opened the door, "I haven't been to the Supernatural Secret Service Division yet. I heard that it is a powerful agency. Now it seems that it must be worthy of the name! Miss, you are really heroic."

His last words were addressed to the village agency who was in charge of guarding Ango.The young woman with her messy long hair tied behind her head casually, and with a knife pinned to her waist, did not follow his tricks at all, blowing the bubble gum she was chewing indifferently.

Ango Sakaguchi followed Dazai in silently. He looked at Dazai who pretended not to know him, with complicated emotions and thoughts, but he still responded with wordless silence, without saying anything.

Dazai's criminal record in the port mafia was as black as an inkstone. Even if Ango Sakaguchi entered a special agency to help him clear his criminal record, it took him almost two years to finally clear it and go ashore.

The current "Osamu Dazai", of course, shouldn't know him, a former undercover agent of the port mafia, and now an official of the Secret Service.

At the moment only Edogawa Ranpo and Yosano Akiko were in the office area, and there was a little girl with pigtails sitting beside Ranpo's desk.

Ango Sakaguchi remembered that the child that Edogawa Ranpo adopted a few years ago seemed to be eleven or twelve years old. He didn't know much about it. When this little girl came to the detective agency, he was still preparing to go to the Port Mafia. Party undercover thing.

He gave them a slight nod as he passed the office area, and then led the village club and followed Dazai Osamu to the president's office.

The side door of the office area opened and closed, Nanako looked away and continued writing chemistry questions.

She had never met Ango Sakaguchi before, and she was probably an official in the government. People like this often come to detective agencies, and she is not very interested.

Sitting on an office chair, Luanbu was holding a biscuit in his mouth, knocking on Erlang's leg, and flipping through a stack of real estate brochures in his hand.All kinds of houses, newly built real estate, resold old houses, single-family villas, Japanese-style gardens, high-rise apartments... There are all kinds of houses, but they are all located in the district where the detective agency is located, commuting The duration will not exceed two 10-minute distances.

After searching for a long time, he still couldn't pick out a house he wanted.In other words, he actually doesn't have any particular preference for what kind of house he lives in, as long as it's convenient, so he doesn't think it's any different when looking at any house.

When he was a child, he lived in an independent villa in the countryside with his mother, and he would only go home when his father was on vacation.Later, I came to Yokohama and lived in the dormitory of the police academy and the small cubicle provided by the part-time job.

After meeting the president, they lived with the president at first. They lived in an old Japanese-style house rented to them by a client at a low price for a long time, and Yosano also lived there for a while time.

Later, the detective agency started to operate gradually, and the number of employees increased. The detective agency also bought a staff dormitory, and he moved to live in the dormitory.

Good and bad, spacious and narrow, foreign-style and modern, he has lived in almost all kinds of "houses", as long as they are not too bad or troublesome - for example, a police school dormitory with a lot of rules. Can live.If he was the only one in the six-tatami room in the detective agency's dormitory, he wouldn't mind living in it for 30 years.

But he also has to raise a stupid daughter, which is different.

He also asked the president, and the president also said that if he had enough savings, he could consider buying a house and moving out.The rent of the dormitory is very low, so it is better to reserve it for newcomers who have no savings in the future.And Nanako is already 12 years old, so she should have her own room.

Ranpo thought back to when he was young, and felt that what the president said made sense. He had his own room when he was in the first grade, but Nanako lived in the same room with him in the sixth grade.

Oh yes, and Gogol.

Gotta kick this guy out, he's 14 years old, he definitely can't sleep in the same room as Nanako, not even in the closet.

After flipping through a stack of brochures again, Luanbu, who still hadn't figured out what house to buy, finally remembered that he should ask Nanako for advice.

"Nanako."

"...Huh?" Nanako was burying her head in writing the experiment questions, Nanako's reaction was a bit slower, then she raised her head and looked at Ranpo.

"Do you want to live in a detached house or an apartment?" Ranbu reached out and took another biscuit from the table.

Nanako lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her expressionless face and answered him: "I want to live in a dormitory."

"No," Luanbu dismissed her answer confidently, "You are about to go to middle school, and you have to grow up when you go to middle school, and you have to sleep in a room by yourself. The dormitory of the detective agency is too small, and it won't be enough when you go to middle school." Living!"

【…】

Nanako didn't know what Ranpo wanted to do, she stood up on the table and looked at the things in Ranpo's hand.The top one is a villa, the price... She counted it carefully, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, a total of eight zeros, which is [-] million yen.

Nanako, who has less than 200 million yen in savings so far, sat back silently.

She said to Ranbu: "Then I live in the dormitory next door."

"No, children can't live by themselves, they have to live with adults." Ranbu once again dismissed her proposal without thinking.

Nanako: ...

She doesn't want to live in a villa, nor an apartment. Although I don't know how much Ranpo's savings are, even if he can buy a house, he will probably become a poor man after buying a house. Nanako thinks it's good to live in a dormitory. The rent of the dormitory is very cheap. It seems to only cost [-] yen for a month of water and electricity. There is nothing wrong with it, and the sleeping space is enough.

"Father." She looked at Luanbu, her dark round eyes motionless, "Do you have money?"

"Huh?" Still struggling with a bunch of houses, Luanbu replied casually, "Dad has money, enough to buy a house."

"How much is that?" Nanako asked sternly.

"Hmm..." Looking up at the ceiling, Luanbu squinted his eyes and thought for a while before answering her, "About a few hundred million, I haven't calculated the specifics."

Nanako remembered that Ranpo had told her before that he could earn about 1000 million a year, and assuming that Ranpo had a savings of [-] million, it would take him ten years to save enough without eating or drinking.

It is known that her idiot father is 24 years old this year, so he has to start working in a detective agency when he is 14 years old, and he has spent ten years of living without food, so that he can have the minimum "several hundred million".

To sum up, Nanako has successfully drawn two possible conclusions:

[-]. Her father lost a zero.

Second, her father didn't count at all, and just said a number casually based on his feeling, that is, he was running the train again.

Flipping through the real estate brochures, Ranbu found two more houses, and asked Nanako, "Do you want a house with a yard or without a yard?"

【...I want cheap ones. 】

Nanako stared blankly at the two houses marked "8 million" and "6 million" respectively, and kept her mouth shut without saying a word.

Luanbu attributed her performance as "I don't like it", so he threw the two houses aside, and he quickly went through the stack of introduction sheets again, back and forth, just like this two or three Ten houses, looking at the back, he was a little tired of looking at them, lying on the desk, biting biscuits like a hamster, while scratching these dozens of sheets of paper over and over again.

Soon, paper airplanes, boats, thousand paper cranes, butterflies, and little squirrels appeared on the desk. They were neatly arranged in a row, from the left side of the table to the right side of the table. He had forgotten that he wanted to It's time to pick a house, so I'm going to start origami with all my heart.

Nanako also picked up the pen again and continued to write her chemistry experiment questions.

After finishing the two questions, Nanako didn't want to write anymore. She packed up her things and wanted to ask Gogol to go to the coffee shop to eat cakes. She just pushed the office chair she was sitting on back to its original position. He heard Luanbu suddenly call her.

"Nanako."

Nanako stood by the empty desk, still holding the armrest of the office chair, turned her head and looked at Ranpo.

"Do you want to live closer to Dad, or farther away?" Luanbu lay on the desk, pushed the folded origami to the side, and reached for the biscuit that was squeezed to the edge of the table.

Nanako thought for a moment, and then answered him, "Closer."

After she answered Luanbu, she suddenly remembered something: "Dad, did you sign up for me?"

It was mid-November, and she remembered that the registration for the entrance examination for Qingxue was due at the end of this month, and there was only about a week left.Miwa said last week that she had decided to go to Qingxue, so after Nanako came back, she also told Ranpo to help her sign up for Qingxue's entrance examination.

She didn't have any particular middle school that she wanted to go to, and Luanbu didn't have any particular middle school that she wanted her to go to, so she still chose to copy three rounds of homework.

"I already signed up yesterday." Luanbu bit the biscuit in his hand, "The exam is at the end of the first month, and there are still two months left. There is a bus stop over there, and you can take the bus to go to school later."

"En." Nanako replied, scratched her hair, and ran out to find Gogol.

The door of the detective agency opened and closed, walked around and swallowed the biscuits in his hand in twos and twos, wandered back and forth on the origami piled up on the table with his outstretched hand, muttering to himself in a low voice : "An ordinary apartment with a medium size is convenient for coming to the detective agency and going to school, and the security should be better..."

Soon, he picked up a piece of paper that had been folded into a little dinosaur, and unfolded the paper back to its original shape.

It is a three-bedroom apartment, just over 4000 square meters, not too spacious. It also has a study room, and the price is only about [-] million yen.
