i lied to the whole world

Husheng Xingluo caused turmoil in the outside world, but his own life was calm. After the weekend, he went to and from school like a normal student, and occasionally took Xiao Ai out to play. He didn't socialize or have any other hobbies. Just like an ordinary high school student.

After all, most of the work was done by Litao. He was the one who pretended to be the ghost of the night walk, and he was the one who played the role of the onmyoji to induce people. Anyway, Litao was the tool for the field missions. He would not squeeze himself. any guilt.

(Li Tao: Gan!)

One day when he came home from school, Husheng Xingluo was walking leisurely on the road, thinking about the current situation, his face was calm, but the pieces on the chessboard in his mind moved and collided, presenting a deadlocked but dangerous situation.

It depends on what is about to happen...to interrupt the current calm.

"Get out of the way!"

When he was about to walk to a familiar apartment building, there was a sudden shout from behind. Husheng Xingluo turned his head suspiciously, just in time to see a figure riding a bicycle rushing towards him. Looking at the clothes, he seemed to be a postman brother, holding the bicycle with both hands The handle swayed from side to side, as if it couldn't control the fierce horse under it.

However, what Husheng Xingluo saw was more eye-catching things, such as the huge black shadow entwined on his bicycle, something like a silk thread or a ball of wool caught the tire of the bicycle.

Seeing that the bicycle was about to hit him, Husheng Xingluo stood on the spot without dodging. At the very moment, he grabbed the front body of the bicycle with both hands. The moment his hand touched the black shadow, the black image was Seeing something frightening, I ran away in fright.

Husheng Xingluo ignored the fleeing little monster, and he finally stopped the 'out of control' bicycle without interference. The postman brother was relieved, and stretched out his hand to press the brim of his hat: "Thank you very much, my friend The car suddenly became out of control for some reason, and I almost thought something was going to happen."

"It's okay, it's a small matter, maybe the brakes are broken."

"Yes, I will deal with it when I get off work, so I still have a lot of letters to deliver, so I'm sorry." The postman brother said and was about to step on the bicycle again.

"Wait a minute, isn't it too dangerous to continue riding if the car breaks down? You'd better get off first." Husheng Xingluo looked at him and said suddenly.

Sweat dripped from the forehead under the brim of the postman's hat: "It doesn't matter about this little thing, I still have a lot of work today."

"Really? But..." Husheng Xingluo suddenly reached out and took off the postman's hat, revealing Edogawa Ranpo's face below, "I'm more curious, why does a famous detective need to work part-time as a postman? Interested? ?”

Looking at Edogawa's stunned face, Husheng Xingluo raised the corners of his lips happily in his heart.

Look, a cat has automatically stepped into the trap.

……

The prey has stepped into the trap.

Edogawa walked in front in disorder, he knew that Hosei Xingluo was watching his every move from behind, but he didn't panic at all, and calmly thought about the plan for the meeting later.

When he came in front of the suspected real murderer behind the scenes, he had already thought up a series of plans, because the things he wanted to confirm had already been confirmed. If he was not recognized, then plan a would be implemented and wait for him to leave the block , the police and the Nuliang team will surround this place.

And if he is recognized, there are two situations. One is when he is in danger, then the detective agency and the Nuliang team will arrive soon, and the other is that the situation is not dangerous yet, then he can get information through conversation.

This is exactly the situation where there is no danger, but recognition.

And took him to his own residence, which was an excellent opportunity to obtain information.

Edogawa also has locators and bugs hidden on his body, and he can pass on information at any time.

"Please come in."

Xingluo Husheng opened the door, and Edogawa walked in carelessly, his eyes first looked at the shoe cabinet in the entrance.

In order to avoid alarming others, they did not send people to sneak into Xingluo Husheng's home to investigate in advance, so this is the first time Edogawa Ranpo saw the situation in his home. He noticed that Xingluo Husheng's shoe cabinet was in addition to himself In addition to my shoe size, there are a few pairs of smaller shoes that seem to be girls' shoes.

Edogawa Ranpo kept it in his heart and said nothing.

"Sorry, I don't have anything to entertain guests at home, is plain water okay?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm not here for dim sum." Edogawa sat casually on the sofa, still observing his surroundings.

Hu Shengxing Luo sat opposite him, originally wanted to see his eyes clearly, but suddenly found that both of them seemed to be squinting.

"So, why me?"

In the end, Mr. Fox was the first to ask curiously. He suspected that if he didn't ask first, the famous detective would keep looking at his home until he could analyze all the clues that could be analyzed.

Edogawa Ranpo finally retracted his gaze and looked at him: "Before this, the possibility is only [-]%."

I still remember that Luanbu deduced the location of the seafood warehouse through the missing locations of two-thirds of the missing people, while the other one-third of the people did not go through the sewer, they disappeared out of thin air.

Just like Kunikida in the detective agency, and according to Kunikida, he could vaguely hear laughter at that moment, and his body seemed to be hugged from behind.

So Ranpo boldly deduced that the real prisoner appeared at that moment, and they immediately called Ango to confirm with his supernatural power.

As a result, a man's face did appear, but after Ango's subsequent search, there was no information in the database.

Chances are high that it has been camouflaged.

This result disappointed everyone who had hoped for it, but then Luanbu said straight to the point: "But the possibility that this person is the real murderer behind the scenes is still very high, and if not, at least he may be a confidant, or he may have a disguise Ability."

And most importantly, the teleportation of the other party made Ranpo think of another third of the victims who disappeared. After Ango confirmed, they did disappear out of thin air from the same place, and the information extracted from the vicinity of the missing told Ango It is possible that the one who abducted Kunikida and those who abducted these people is the same.

Just knowing that helped his reasoning.

After that, Ranpo collected the time when one-third of the missing people walked into the unmonitored area, and found clues.

The time period is basically from 4:1 pm to [-]:[-] pm.

And it's not just a few days, it's two months from Hell Girl's appearance to disappearance.

Why only this time period is to make people disappear in person.

Or, why not at other times?

It is not clear what this period of time means for monsters, but for humans, there are only freelance workers, or junior high school students who do not have make-up classes or part-time jobs, there may be some college students, and there may be retired elderly people, but the elderly The chances of that happening are slim to none.

Of course, this is the case of human beings. On the premise that monsters also exist, if the real culprit behind the scenes is a monster, it cannot be measured by human standards, but this is a human society after all, and it is a relatively developed society in the 21st century.

To put it simply, if the real culprit behind the scenes does not live in human society, it means that he may not have a stable residence and environment. Luanbu asked the police to sort out all the monitoring around the abandoned buildings, and found no traces, so He thinks this possibility is relatively small.

It is just an assumption that if the murderer behind the scenes has an identity in human society, it will probably appear in these few places. Ranbu also added a few more restrictions. Two months ago, his temperament suddenly changed, or he was born in two months. The one who moved to Yokohama a month ago is young (Kunikida judges)... and there are people around who are looking for Hell Girls.

The last condition is because in criminal psychology, the initial criminal impulse often comes from acquaintances around us.

Those selected are those dozens of lists.

Of course, the possibility of the real culprit being in these dozens of lists is actually only 50.00%.

"So far, I have narrowed down the scope as much as possible. It is basically my speculation, but there are still dozens of people on the list. The police were distracted by the monster incident, and there is no way to provide me with much help. Therefore, I You can only confirm one by one yourself."

Confirmation is not actually tracking one by one. For Ranbu, many things can be confirmed at a glance, so it is not as hard as imagined.

But in fact, he locked on Husheng Xingluo before he finished confirming everyone.

Edogawa Ranpo raised a finger and said, "One of the reasons why I doubt you is intuition."

After seeing the photo of Hu Sheng Xing Luo, a kind of intuition that belonged to a famous detective told him that maybe it was this person.

"The other one is..." Edogawa Ranpo drew his voice, and suddenly let it go.

"What is it?"

"Speaking of which, you exposed it yourself." Edogawa Ranpo said.

Husheng Xingluo raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"You caused all kinds of ghost incidents in Yokohama, so people from most areas came to the police station to report the incident." Edogawa Ranpo said, "Except for the neighborhood where you are, there is no case, not a single case!"

Husheng Xingluo suddenly realized where the problem was. Although his demon fox bloodline hadn't grown up yet, but because of his high level, it did intimidate the surrounding monsters, and Xiao Ai was also here.

To be precise, Xiao Ai should be the earliest monster born in Yokohama, and also the most popular monster in urban legend. Her aura is even stronger than most monsters that have existed for a long time, and monsters are territorial. Under the circumstances of this area, it is only natural that no other monsters dare to make trouble.

"But that doesn't explain the problem, does it? Since you said most of them, isn't there another part that is also absent?"

"That's right, but adding that you are on my suspect list, your suspicion has risen again, probably around 30.00%."

Hu Shengxing Luo: "So it was a temptation just now?"

"Yeah!" Edogawa Ranpo admitted frankly, "30.00% probability is enough for me to take risks, and then I will confirm thoroughly that you are the monster hidden among humans."

Hu Shengxing Luo suddenly smiled, and slightly opened his eyes.

It was a pair of strange-colored beast eyes.

Edogawa's breathing was stagnant, and he couldn't help but also opened his eyes, and said in a low voice, "It really is you."

"As expected of a detective, to be honest, I was really taken aback when you appeared in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will keep you forever?" Hu Shengxing Luo smiled but wasn't smiling.

After he opened his eyes, the aura around him suddenly changed. If it was a beautiful boy who made people take a second look in the crowd, then ordinary humans probably don't have the courage to connect to him now.

Edogawa Ranpo seemed to be able to feel the looming tingling pain on his neck. He withstood the pressure, knowing that this was the only way to obtain information in a limited time.

"Don't be afraid!" he said loudly, "Because the real detective judges that you are very likely to be a good person."

Husheng Xingluo was taken aback, this was not an act, but he was still confused by the words of Luanbu at this moment: "Good guy? Me?"

Where is he acting like a good guy?

"Criminals' criminal behavior more or less reveals their psychology, such as impatience, impulsive crime, religious belief, or..." Edogawa Ranbu stared into Hosei Xingluo's eyes, never letting go. Over any emotion, "a sense of justice."

Hu Sheng Xing Luo suddenly had a subtle expression.

"I have investigated your surroundings. The resident downstairs was originally in domestic violence, but after you moved in, her husband disappeared. Guess why?"

"Hell girl?" Hu Shengxing Luo hooked the corners of his lips.

"That's right, and I found out that the more than 200 people who went to hell are almost all people who committed crimes that cannot be judged by the actual law. They didn't receive a fair trial, so you let hell instead..."

Edogawa ran in a deep voice: "Am I right?"

"Very smart, a famous detective, who can analyze so much from my behavior." Husheng Xingluo stood up, approaching him step by step under the eyes of chaotic steps, supported the back of the sofa with one hand, and looked down at the famous detective. detective.

"But you overlooked one point. No, it's not your fault, because you are not a monster. This is a secret that only few people know among monsters."

"How do you know, the old me is still the current me? How do you know that I'm not using the old me?"

Ranbu had almost no time to take care of Husheng who was already very close, and quickly set off a brainstorm in his mind, reorganizing countless information in his brain.

In addition to the sense of justice, there is another explanation, why are the people who go to hell the most sinful?

Because Husheng Xingluo's needs or this is not exclusive to his plan.

Time, time. People who have committed the most heinous crimes will be punished for a long time in hell, with serious after-effects, and clips broadcast during interviews with reporters... This is the reason why the popularity of Hell Girl suddenly exploded unprecedentedly.

But what does the phrase 'I am not what I used to be' mean...

No, it's too late to think about it.

A button in his chest became hot, Edogawa Ranpo's figure dissipated like a puff of blue smoke, and a novel fell on the spot.

Husheng Xingluo:? ?

He was stunned, why, did you push the cat back to the cage too hard?

This is unscientific, and he didn't do anything. Didn't he send the information well? Why did he slip away.

Husheng Xingluo was confused, suddenly many figures broke through the window, drew their knives and slashed at Husheng Xingluo!

Husheng stood on the spot as if he didn't realize it. His whole body was split into two sections. Before the monsters of the Nuliang team had time to cheer, Nuliang Lusheng looked solemn: "No, it's an illusion."

"So it's a trap."

Husheng Xingluo's voice sounded from behind Nuliang Lusheng. He looked back and his pupils shrank suddenly.

At this moment, Husheng is already in the form of a demon. Under the influence of the mirror flower and water moon, the nine big furry tails behind him almost fill up the space, and a round of water moon is imprinted on his forehead. The heavy oppression of the monsters.

Nuliang Lusheng clenched the jackknife in his hand: "What's your relationship with Yuyihu?"
