After becoming a chaotic daughter

The Armed Detective Agency is a "supernatural organization".

This is a special club with a streamlined staff, accepting external commissions in the form of a "detective agency", and often providing assistance to government agencies.There are no more than 20 members, but half of them are "supernatural beings" with special abilities.

People with supernatural powers are dangerous existences. There are a large number of dangerous incidents caused by people with supernatural abilities in Yokohama, Japan, and even the world. Therefore, the government secretly monitors people with supernatural abilities to prevent them from harming society.But at the same time, there is also an organization assembled by a very small number of supernatural beings, who have obtained a "supernatural business license" and can carry out legal business activities. That is the so-called "leading".

But that was all four days ago. Now, the armed detective agency wanted by the whole country has naturally been deprived of its business license. It has changed from a "hero" admired and trusted by thousands of people to a vicious "supernatural criminal group" ".

——This is the situation seen by "experts", and in the eyes of ordinary citizens, it is probably just a legally armed club rebelling, and all "special abilities" factors have been eliminated, because in the public's perception Among them, the "supernatural ability" is still in a half-covered state, probably no different from the so-called "urban legend".

The existence of the "supernatural ability" has not been officially disclosed, and many complicated factors are involved, the biggest resistance among which is the "Three Schools of Defense" in the magic world.The ability is revealed, so what about the spell?If the incantation is also made public, will the curse spirit also be made public?If the common people know that there is a curse spirit, will it cause confusion among the people?Moreover, making the existence of spells known to the public is a violation of the "noble attitude" that these families have held for many years.

All in all, because of this kind of wrangling, although the matter of disclosing the existence of "supernatural powers" was mentioned a long time ago, it has not been put on the agenda for a long time, and it has been shelved there.

Most people don't know what a "power" is, and that's a very normal thing.

However, a person who grew up surrounded by supernatural beings and lived in a supernatural organization since he was a child, still doesn't know the existence of supernatural abilities as he grows older, this is a very interesting thing.

Tiaoye Caiju "looked" at the girl sitting in front of him, although his field of vision was dark, but his ears still conveyed the girl's faint daze to him.

"Have you never heard of it?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, "There is something about 'supernatural powers' and 'supernatural powers'."

Nanako didn't speak. She had heard adults mention the word "supernatural person", and occasionally mentioned it when talking about work, but the frequency was very small. Nanako didn't participate in the work of the detective agency, so she never cared about it, subconsciously It is only regarded as words similar to "securities practitioners", "data analysts" and "medical theorists", which are only used to refer to certain types of people.

The pronunciation of this word is very similar to the "superior ability" in the "Superior Special Affairs Section", so it is probably someone related to the Secret Service Section - if there are more, she will only think of this, after all, this word is like "Securities Practitioners" Like ", it has nothing to do with her.

But Tiao Ye Caiju, who came to interrogate her, suddenly mentioned this word.

It is safe for Nanako not to know how to answer. This question is different from "Do you like drinking milk?" The meanings were all vaguely understood, which made Nanako dare not answer casually.

In case "supernatural person" refers to Uncle Ango and the others who work in the Special Agents Division, if she said she knew, would Uncle Ango and the others be arrested like a detective agency?Just like the so-called "political struggle" written in the book.

She didn't think about how to answer, and it took a long time, but without her talking, Tiaoye Caiju had already confirmed the answer——

That is "really don't know at all".

If you know, you will understand that this is just an innocuous little question, and you can answer it very casually.

Why doesn't she know?Or, more precisely, why does the Armed Detective Society deliberately conceal the existence of her "powers"?This kind of behavior should be meaningless in essence. Rather, knowing that there are dangerous things with "supernatural powers" exists, so I act more carefully-if it is for the safety of this child, then this is correct way of doing.

"...The so-called 'supernatural power'," Tiaoye Caiju said leisurely, "that is, 'special ability', which is a special ability possessed by a small number of people. The Armed Detective Agency is a group of several people who have The organization of people with supernatural powers, they also used their supernatural powers to successfully deceive the trust of the government, and then killed several officials."

[... Special ability. 】

Nanako tried to understand this word that was already quite straightforward.

[Does it mean that everyone has great talents... or something like that? 】

For example, Kunikida's talent is probably being able to do other people's work for a week in one day, Yosano's talent is probably great medical ability, Oda's talent is writing novels, Kenji's talent is... growing vegetables?

Nanako thought of the lush green onion in the president's office, which was kept very vigorous by Kenji.

Detective agencies have always accepted various commissions, from finding lost cats to solving murder cases, so the members of the agency are all people with different "talents", which seems normal. ...So saying "supernatural person" is actually some kind of reference to "talented person" in Japanese?It's like the "thousand-mile horse" in the Chinese metaphor.

Nanako felt as if she "understood", and her bewildered emotions were like dew under the scorching sun at noon, and all disappeared without a trace in just a few seconds.Her heartbeat resumed its steady beating gently again.

Aware of these slight changes in Nanako, Jono lowered his head and put down the coffee cup in his hand, clasped his fingers together, crossed his legs, and continued to ask: "Have you never noticed it before? Those unusual places , It seems that you have been hiding a lot of things. Thinking about your father—ah, speaking of it, Edogawa Ranpo seems to be your adoptive father, right? They won't treat each other with no gaps and the truth like a real father and daughter."

"Hmm." He paused suddenly, put his bent fingers on his lips, with a thoughtful look on his face, "Thinking about it this way, maybe I've misunderstood... If it's my beloved daughter, who committed such a crime?" Heinous crime, a father should have prepared a way out for his children in advance, for example, going abroad to 'study'..."

His words suddenly paused for two seconds, as if he suddenly figured it out, he said, "Is that so, you—"

Jono Caiju raised his hand, stretched out his fingers wearing pure white gloves, and pointed in Nanako's direction accurately, with his eyes closed, he bent down and smiled: "——was abandoned by your 'false father' After all, she is just a fake daughter."

There was silence in the reception room, and the answer was Nanako sipping milk.

If you don't drink it, it will be cold. The air conditioner is turned on every day in the detention center. Although it is very cool, but at this temperature, if you drink cold milk, Nanako is afraid that she will have diarrhea... Diarrhea in the detention center sounds very bad.

[...He talks a lot. 】

Nanako thought in her heart that if the milk can be refilled, she would not mind listening to the other party's nonsense for a while, after all, the environment of the reception room is better than the detention room, and the soft sofa is much more comfortable than the hard bed.

Nanako felt that the policeman seemed not too smart.Otherwise, how could it have been unexpected that Dad didn't take her with him, and it's entirely possible that the detective agency was framed, so he didn't have time to take her away.

She continued to drink her milk with a blank expression, and she took a sip every time she took a sip. She didn't know when the next time she could drink milk, so Nanako drank it very seriously, as if the glass contained Lafite from 82.

Tiaoye Caiju: "..."

Is it his illusion, why does it feel that the girl's heartbeat is faintly developing in the direction of "so noisy".

Even if it's not "very loud", it's definitely not uneasy or scared. The girl's heartbeat changes very slightly, and mental oppression is completely useless. What he is facing is like a sponge—not the sponge of SpongeBob SquarePants— No matter whether it is pressed with a stone or soaked in water, the sponge is still fluffy and fluffy. When you poke it, it will sink into a pit, and when you withdraw your hand, it will slowly bounce back to its original shape.

If you ask a question, you will get an answer, but after answering, you will return to a quiet appearance.Even if you cut it with a "knife", you can't cut this "sponge" at all.

From a certain point of view, this girl has a very rare "heart of stone", and it is difficult for other people's words to erode her heart. It is even very exaggerated. From entering the reception room, the moment when her heartbeat changes most obviously is actually taken The moment it comes to the milk.

It seemed that he could not get any useful information from this girl.Maybe it's okay to use torture tools to interrogate, but this is the territory of the city police, and the monitor in the corner is still faithfully watching everything they get along with.

Tiaoye Caiju stood up, facing a little girl who came back with a feather. This is definitely a shame for the "hunting dog", but Tiaoye Caiju is not an orthodox "hunting dog", he is just a "violent dog" who has only been recruited It's just that, in comparison, not being able to hear the voice that could make him happy made him even more disappointed.

He lowered his head and "looked" at Nanako who quickly drank the rest of the milk, and said, "The crime of the detective agency is a certainty. Even if you think the detective agency is innocent, it won't do anything."

"For the sake of your honesty, I kindly remind you." Tiaoye Caiju turned and walked towards the door, his heels knocked on the tiled floor, making a calm and clear sound, "In the detention center During this period, you should think about it carefully, wait until your 'father' is captured and sentenced to death, "

"—Where are you going to settle down?"

Tiaoye Caiju left.Nanako didn't say a word, she put the empty glass on the table, sat quietly and motionless, waiting for the guards to take her back to the detention room, her dark round eyes didn't turn away. Staring at the cup of coffee on the other side of the low glass table.

It was only half drunk, and it was already cold at the moment, and there was no white mist rising from the mouth of the cup.

[You are the death penalty. 】

Nanako thought to herself.

*******

After the interrogation ended on the afternoon of the fourth day, Nanako was not interrogated again until the tenth day of detention.

She has been kept in a closed detention room, and has become insensitive to the passage of time. It was when Nanako woke up on the eighth morning that she discovered that the air conditioner in the detention room had been turned off.

Although there is no air conditioner, the detention room is not stuffy. Nanako calculated the time in her mind and found that it is already mid-October, Yokohama has already entered autumn, and the weather has turned cold, which is the season that does not need air conditioning.

On the morning of the tenth day, the guards brought Nanako breakfast, which was a bit watery porridge and boiled eggs. It had no taste, but it was not such a bad breakfast.

Nanako finished her breakfast and put the plate in the small window where the cutlery was collected. The guard would come to take the cutlery away later. She climbed back into bed and sat against the wall, her mind blank in a daze.

No one came to interrogate her. Although she didn't have to be stared at fiercely, there was no one to talk to her. The guards would only talk to her when necessary, and Nanako hadn't spoken much for several days.

Most of the time, she was in a daze, thinking about her father or other people in the detective agency, and sometimes thinking about things in school, going back from middle school to when she was in elementary school on Holy Eve, very rarely, She also thinks about what happened before her sudden death.

But before her sudden death, she seemed to have nothing to think about. Half of the time was spent at home alone, sleeping, reading, surfing the Internet, and no one talked to her, because she was the only one at home.

The other half of the time is in school, she sits on the seat and buries herself in reading messy books, or doing homework, while the deskmate next to her is chatting with the classmates before and after, and few people will talk to her... because she herself is very Seldom talk to others.

All are gray memories, but there are no bad memories.

She rarely talks, so no classmates will take her to play, but no one will bully her. We are all very ordinary students, and there are no peers with bad personalities. When I was on duty, I saw Nanako struggling to carry water alone. , and would naturally come over to help Nanako mention it together.

The same goes for the neighbors. Nanako is not familiar with them, but if there is anything in the community, the neighbors will remind her when they meet her.

Very thin and ordinary memories, neither very good nor bad, but because they are too ordinary, they are all fragmented, like whether it is the third grade, the first year of junior high school, or the second year of high school. Almost, hazy, like the occasional smog in winter, everything looks a little blurry.

It's not because I don't remember anymore, it's just because Nanako's memory of those things at that time is just so hazy.

The clearest ones are those texts that she memorized many times and did many exercises in her sophomore year of high school.

Nanako unknowingly began to recite the text in her heart again.

[Seeing off guests at night on the Xunyang River, maple leaves and flowers rustling in autumn, master dismounts...]

——Dangdang,

The iron bars of the detention room were knocked from the outside, and there was a crisp sound of metal being knocked. Nanako, who had just recited "Big Beads and Small Beads Falling on a Jade Plate", stopped and continued to recite, she raised her head , saw a guard in uniform standing outside the iron fence.

The guard lowered his head, half of his face was covered by the brim of his police uniform hat, he probably noticed Nanako looking over, so he pointed to the dinner plate inside.

Nanako slowly climbed out of bed, walked over and pushed the dinner plate closer to the iron railing so that the guard could reach it.With a creaking sound, the iron bars were opened with a small window, just big enough for tableware to come in and out.

The guard took the dinner plate out, the small open window clanged, and the metal iron plate fell down.

Nanako thought the guard was going to leave, just like usual, but she turned around and wanted to go back to the bed, took two steps, but didn't hear the footsteps leaving behind, so she stopped, turned her head, and looked at The guard who was still holding the dinner plate and standing at the door felt that she might have something to say.

The guard spoke.

There is a strange sense of disobedience in the voice that is deliberately lowered.

"Porridge and eggs?" The tall guard turned his head slightly to one side, looked at the neatly peeled egg shells on the plate, and a little white porridge that dried up at the bottom of the bowl, and said Nanako's breakfast, and then raised his hand. He raised his head, and gently held the brim of the hat with his other free hand, as if saluting the person in front of him.

But this is not a salute.

The next moment, the dark hat was removed from the top of the head by the slender hand, drawing a random arc in the air.

It seemed like a cluster of white flowers blooming suddenly in the air. That beautiful, fluffy silver-white hair broke free from the shackles of the hat in an instant, and the fluffy three-strand braid looked like flowers falling from the branches. Like a cluster, it fell lightly on the young man's shoulders.

There was a bright and light smile on the boy's face, his golden eyes were bent into crescent moons, there was a cold iron fence between him and Nanako, but he didn't seem to see it at all, the hand holding the hat shook, and A bag of warm fresh milk appeared in his hands together with tuna mayonnaise packaged in a convenience store.

"Aren't you going to have dinner today?"

Gogol, carrying milk and rice balls, asked Nanako with a smile, and his tone was cheerful like a brook running in the morning sun, gurgling and running tirelessly.

The author has something to say:

I thought it was scary to see Gogol fighting in the comment section

Until I saw a more terrifying (mud) clear (stone) flow in the comment area

"What about the exam!"

"Can I make up the exam!"

"I missed my homework!!"

"I haven't finished my homework yet!"

-

I actually thought that everyone might fight because of "Gogol is too dog" and "Gogol is definitely not such a dog"

but i made a mistake

Everyone actually fought because of "Gogol, how dare you be such a dog!" and "Gogol, he is such a dog!"

"Dog" is not the point of contention, "dog" is the main premise that everyone defaults to when fighting [subway, old man, mobile phone.jpg

(But don’t fight. I hope everyone can express their thoughts more, but don’t comment on others at will. After all, everyone is a friend of id in the comment area. The focus of the article is different, and the opinion will definitely be different.
