After becoming a chaotic daughter

When Nanako returned to the detective agency, she ran into Officer Yasui whom she hadn't seen for a long time on the first floor of the office building.

A few months ago, Officer Yasui was transferred from the Yokohama Police Headquarters to the Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo. It seems that he was promoted again because of his outstanding achievements.

Now taking over his job is another uncle police officer named "Minoura". Officer Minura, like the former police officer Yasui, will often come to the detective agency to ask for help, but he doesn't seem to like dealing with children very much. Nanako said something, and when I met Nanako occasionally, she just nodded in a very ordinary way, even if she said hello, it was a very standard "nodding acquaintance".

Nanako met Officer Yasui at the entrance of the elevator on the first floor. Officer Yasui took the elevator downstairs and opened the door just to meet Nanako who was waiting for the elevator. After a moment of surprise, she smiled at Nanako.

"Nanako? Are you back from school?" He walked out of the elevator with one of his subordinates. Officer Yasui greeted Nanako with a familiar and friendly tone, "It's been a long time since I saw you. The last time I saw you was in April. Transfer to I don’t have time to come back after Tokyo, it’s been almost half a year.”

"Yeah." Nanako looked up at Officer Yasui, who seemed to be the same as before, and still looked serious and scary, but in fact he was a generous and kind male Bodhisattva.She looked at Police Officer Yasui, then at a strange police officer following behind him, and then asked slowly: "...Is there a case?"

"It's nothing, it's just an arms smuggling case that has already been solved." Officer Yasui waved his hand indifferently and replied, Nanako is a child of a detective agency, or Ranpo's daughter, it's no big deal to talk to her about some cases, What's more, it's still a closed case.

He explained: "The smuggling gang came in from the port of Yokohama. The base is in Tokyo. All members have been arrested. This time I just came here to check the situation at the port. After all, there is still a group of troublesome mafia here. I'm in charge of this case, and I just came back to Yokohama again, so I might as well make a trip by myself, and send a letter of thanks to Ranbu-kun."

"To Dad?" Nanako asked him without any ups and downs.

Officer Yasui nodded. Over the years, he has sent hundreds of letters of thanks to Luanbu just for his own case: "Ranbu-kun helped me a lot this time, those criminals are very cunning , if it wasn't for Ranbu-kun, they would have almost let them run away."

Nanako gave an "Oh" half-understanding, but didn't ask anything, and said a few words to her casually, and Officer Yasui left.

"I have to go back to Tokyo first, see you next time."

"OK Bye Bye."

Seeing Officer Yasui hurried away with his subordinates, Nanako walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor [4].

The elevator door slowly closed in front of her.

*******

Today's dinner is soba noodles that Nanako likes to eat.

After eating and drinking enough, she handed over the task of washing dishes to Gogol by guessing fist. After finishing her homework, Nanako continued to fish in the office area.

After nightfall, most of the clerks went home from get off work, and the few left behind were doing their own things, reading books, watching dramas, and talking on the phone with friends.The agency is not very busy these days, and when there is no need to work overtime, the clerks who stayed are simply because they have nothing to do when they go back, so they simply continue to stay in the agency for a while. After all, there are many people in the agency. If it's too boring, everyone can join two tables of mahjong.

Investigators have always been used to not going back until seven or eight o’clock at night. Dazai and Oda went to the bar after dinner, and Atsushi and Kyoka did not come back for dinner today. They went out to work in the afternoon, and went straight back after dinner After leaving the dormitory, other investigators remained in the agency.

There were nearly ten scattered members who hadn't left yet, so although it was half dark, there were still many people in the club, and the lights were brightly lit.

Nanako moved the office chair and sat by the shredder in the corner, shredding the useless documents that Kunikida gave her.The shredder was rumbling and eating paper, covering the sound of people sitting on the office chair gnawing apples. Gogol, who had finished washing the dishes, was sitting in the vacant office seat and playing mobile games.

There was a "squeak" from the side door, and the president from the office came out.

"I'll go to the chess hall nearby." With his hands folded in his sleeves, the president said calmly, "If it's too late, don't wait for me, you can go back on your own."

"はい~~~" Ranbu nestled in a comfortable office chair, lazily responded, raised the half-eaten apple in his hand and waved it, "Bon voyage——"

"Yes, be careful on the road." Kunikida, who was still working hard, replied respectfully.

Nanako and Gogol also said "be careful on the road".

The president nodded slightly, and walked out steadily.The door of the detective agency opened and closed. After shredding the paper, Nanako moved the office chair to Ranbu's desk, picked up a magazine from the desk and read it for a while.

It seems to be a beauty and fashion magazine that fell here with Xie Ye. The cover is a glamorous and fashionable female star, and the inside pages are also full of beautiful clothing styles.

Nanako has never put on makeup and doesn't know how to dress.Before she became "Nanako", she was just a middle school student with no income at all. She could only spend the remaining savings in her hand. She usually wore her school uniform the most, and she might not even remember to buy lip balm in winter. .

But in the Tianchao school, the students are usually almost the same plain, only occasionally one or two students secretly put on light makeup and wear small jewelry.Under such circumstances, although the clothes in the closet can be counted with two hands, Nanako will not appear to be too "simple" in school.

Now she has a lot of clothes, Yosano and Yosano will take Nanako to shopping streets and shopping malls to buy clothes every season or holiday.Nanako still doesn't know how to dress, but Yosano will show her several different styles of clothes and let her choose the one she likes, and then match her clothes.Sometimes, Naomi and the clerk sisters will take her to go shopping together. Nanako only needs to remember to copy and paste the clothes they have matched for herself.

After reading the manicures with beautiful colors and patterns in the magazine, Nanako turned a page, and the next part was the hairstyle section.Long hair, short hair, straight hair, curly hair, and all kinds of colorful and even gradient magical hair colors, it looks like the color spectrum.

Looking at the hair dyes of various colors in the magazine, Nanako remembered the handsome guy with a distinctive hairstyle that she met after school in the afternoon.

Japan seems to pursue fashion very much. People with hair of any color can be seen on the street. When she was in elementary school on Holy Eve, six people in her class could even make up seven hair colors.

Thinking of those cool hair colors, Nanako lowered her head, looked at her very plain black half-long hair hanging on her shoulders, then raised her head again, and looked at Ranpo's equally plain black short curly hair.

She made a careful comparison, and found that the father and daughter seemed to have the most common hair color in the detective agency, and the hairstyles of the others seemed to be more or less distinctive.For example, Dazai's hair is a very light black, or a very deep kite color, Kunikida has yellow-green hair, and tied a small braid, even Naomi, who also has black hair, also cut it Half princess cut hairstyle.

"Father." Nanako called out to Ranbu, and when Ranbu looked up, she continued to ask him, "Do you want to dye your hair?"

"?" Ranpo also saw the magazine in Nanako's hand, and there was a little interested expression on his face, "Dye what?"

Nanako lowered her head and flipped through the magazine, looked for it, and finally pointed to the coolest-looking hair color in it, and said to Ranpo, "Dye this."

The multi-level gradient rainbow color looks like a quiet gray and black on the outside, but as long as you put your finger in the hair and flick it, the colorful gradient color like melted skittles will be revealed inside.

Luanbu stretched his neck, squinted his eyes, and poked his head over. With a serious expression, he carefully studied the hair color in the magazine, as if he was thinking very carefully.

Five seconds later, Luanbu found a colorful lollipop from the drawer, unwrapped the wrapping paper, stuffed the lollipop into his mouth, held the big lollipop in his mouth, and sucked it I drooled.

"This requires a lot of hair to dye so many colors." Ranpo said to Nanako in the scientific and rigorous "Spirit of Kunikida".

What he said made sense. Nanako thought about it for a while. Ranbu had short hair. Her own hair was thin and soft. It didn't seem to be very much. She probably couldn't dye so many colors, so she turned her head and looked at the Gogol, who was playing a mobile game, called out, "Guoguoli."

She lifted up the magazine in her hand, pointed to the "colorful lollipops" on it, and asked Gogol, "Do you want to dye this?"

While speaking, his gaze was fixed on Gogol's fluffy braid hanging on his shoulders.

"Can I refuse?" After seeing the hairstyle in the magazine, Gogol raised his hand firmly to ask.

Nanako really wanted to say no, but she couldn't dye Gogol's hair according to his head—if it was just shaved, it would be fine—so she could only give up this plan with great regret and ignored it. Gogol and his idiot father.

The coolest hair color cannot be dyed, and when I look at other hairstyles, I immediately feel a little "poor". Nanako turned two pages of the magazine again, and felt dull.

She closed the magazine and ran to the rooftop to look at Kenji's radishes.The leaves of the radish are also shiny green, which reminds Nanako of the hair of "Echizen that" at the back table, which is also dark green.

At night in early September, Yokohama was still a bit muggy, and there were many mosquitoes on the roof.Nanako heard Kenji say for a while, "If the cow is disobedient, how to make a delicious beef rice bowl at night", she was bitten by mosquitoes and came out with three big bags, so she quickly slipped away and ran back to the building In the next detective agency.

In the office area, there are only Ranpo who reads manga, Gogol who plays games, and Kunikida who works overtime all by himself. Nanako wanders to the infirmary and sneaks open the door to take a look. Tanizaki is lying on the hospital bed. Standing beside Yosano and Naomi, the two girls held fruit knives in their hands and were happily chatting about their experiences.

It seemed to be talking about how to eat fruit, because Nanako vaguely heard them mention words such as "peeling", "cutting", "breaking", "juicing".

There was nothing interesting in the infirmary, so Nanako closed the door, turned around, and opened the door to the clerk's office behind her.

She poked her head in through the crack of the door. Miss Haruno was leading the clerks to gather a crowd to suck cats. Several staff members surrounded the three-colored cat lying in the middle of the desk and laughed "hehehe", holding cat teasing sticks and Small snacks, the shutter sound of the mobile phone has not stopped.

Nanako silently closed the door on this side as well.

The door of the president's office was locked, and there was no one in the conference room. In the end, Nanako, who still couldn't find anything to do, wandered into the reception room, pulled out the old cloak she had hidden there from under the sofa, and covered it with the cloak , Nested on the sofa and began to sleep.

With her head covered, Nanako fell into a sleepy sleep for an unknown amount of time, when she heard the sound of footsteps and voices outside.

Rubbing her eyes, Nanako got up from the sofa, the office area outside was in a mess, she didn't know what happened.Stepping on her small leather shoes, Nanako moved to the door of the reception room, and saw Kenji running in from outside.

"Kenji." Nanako was still a little ambiguous, and stopped him, "What's wrong..."

"The president was attacked!" Kenji said quickly, the boy's voice was loud and serious, "Dr. Xie Ye is currently treating him in the operating room."

"...Attack?" Nanako was sleepy and her head was still a little foggy. It took a second for her reaction to be a little sluggish before she understood what Kenji said.

"Yeah." Kenji frowned, "It must be a very dangerous criminal who can hurt the president, it's really bad, I hope the president is safe... I'm going to help first. "

After talking to Nanako, he ran into the side door.In the office area, Kunikida was directing the clerk who hadn't left to investigate the situation, his face was not very good, and a group of people were busy walking around.

Nanako stood at the door of the reception room, she didn't know what she should do now, subconsciously wanted to find Ranpo, but Ranbu was not at the desk, and Gogol didn't know where it was.She thought for a while, ran to the infirmary, and found Luanbu in the infirmary.

The door to the operating room in the infirmary was closed tightly.Nanako stood at the door, carefully poking her head inside.Luanbu sat on a stool in the infirmary, leaning against the corner of the wall, with his fingers put together on his lap, his head hanging down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Dad." Nanako called him softly.

Hearing Nanako's voice, he paused in disorder, raised his face, and turned his gaze to the door of the infirmary.

Holding the door frame, Nanako looked at him with dark eyes, and asked in a low voice, "...is grandpa injured?"

Luanbu opened his mouth, but the first time he couldn't make a sound, he closed his mouth and moved his Adam's apple, and when he opened his mouth again, Nanako heard him say: "It's okay, Miss Xie Ye is here, the president will be here soon Get better."

After he finished speaking, he fell into a short silence. He didn't know why he was distracted for a few seconds, and then he suddenly came back to his senses and said to Nanako: "Go home and go to bed with Gogol first. , Dad will go back later."

Nanako didn't say, "I don't know where Gogol has gone." She looked at the still closed door of the operating room, and then obediently said "um", and left from the infirmary.
