Correct use of working cell No. U-4869

"Why do you work here?"

When Edogawa wandered into the office, he saw Natsume Uhisa, who was sitting next to Kunikida Doppo, looking at the documents expressionlessly on the table, so he walked beside Natsume Uhisa and asked directly.

This doesn't sound like workplace bullying, but it makes people think that Natsume Yuku should not appear here, and he should still have time to be busy.

Before Natsume Yuku could respond, Kunikida Doppo asked curiously, "Haku, did you ask for leave today?"

Natsume Yuhisa's head was dizzy, and he didn't quite understand what Edogawa Ranpo meant.He raised his head and saw Edogawa Ranpo tilting his head and squinting his eyes. His attitude was so determined that Natsume Yuku wondered if he had forgotten something.

"Did I forget something?"

Edogawa Ranpo put his pilled cloth bag on Yuku's table, and the contents inside made a solid sound on the table, Ranpo took out a small wallet from the backpack, and directed Natsume as a matter of course Yujiu asked him to go downstairs to buy a cup of hazelnut vanilla coffee for himself, and told the owner of Uzumaki that it was for Edogawa Ranpo. The coffee in it could be a little less, but it needed a lot of milk foam, and the sugar was 50.00 more than usual %, the chocolate powder poured on the milk foam is replaced with marshmallows. By the way, remember to take three napkins, a packet of powdered sugar, and a small box of milk. Edogawa Ranpo will add it to the coffee later.

Kunikida Doppo felt that the amount of sugar had reached the level that would kill him—it was all sugar.

As soon as Edogawa Ranpo finished speaking, he asked Yujiu, "Do you remember?"

Yu Jiu said: "Remember."

"Let's go then."

After Yu Jiu left, Ranpo sat directly in Yu Jiu's position.

Kunikida Doppo also wanted to talk about how Ranpo ordered Natsume Yuku, who had just started work, so naturally. Of course, this was just gossip, but before he spoke, Edogawa Ranpo looked back at him: "Didn't you see Natsume's whole life?" Is something wrong with everyone?"

A huge question mark appeared in Kunikida Doppo's head.

After Luanbu patted the table with both hands, he pointed to the computer screen full of reports and said, "You still let him do this kind of thing, you have to tell him to run and do other things." After Luanbu finished speaking , Picking at Kunikida Doppo's desk and saying, "Are there any other cases that don't require thinking?"

"What's a no-brainer case?"

Most of the work of their detective agency requires brains. If it is a follow-up investigation, this kind of work is the most time-consuming and boring job. If you are lucky, you can finish it in one day. If you are unlucky, you may not get anything in half a month. Until the bottom of the box is quickly pressed, Edogawa will give you a word or two.

After all, although Edogawa Ranpo is the core and pillar of the entire detective agency, the president's operating policy is to strive for all members to have the ability to conduct independent investigations, and Edogawa Ranpo is their last trump card.

Edogawa Ranpo thought for a while, frowned and said, "For example, fugitives that the military and police can't catch, aren't there many such cases? They can beat people and do sports."

"A batch was cleared at the beginning of the month, and now it's gone."

If you look carefully, the crime rate during the late winter holidays is actually not as high as imagined, and the criminals don't want 007, and they will give themselves a holiday. In 1833, the French criminologist Coller Bureau proposed that "the crime rate changes with the seasons."

Ranbu never thought of such a result, thought hard, and finally said: "Okay, I've decided! I decided to ask for leave suddenly today!"

"..."

The decision was so sudden.

As soon as Ranpo finished speaking, he looked at Kunikida Doppo and said, "Please tell the president for me."

Kunikida Doppo really couldn't do anything about Edogawa Ranpo, and said, "What should I say?"

"Just tell me that I'm sick, coughing, and have a high fever, and I'm going to the hospital to see a doctor." Ranpo really wanted to think about it, and said to Kunikida, "You can turn it into a thermometer that can show that I have a high fever. "

Kunikida looked in Yosano Akiko's direction.

The voices of the two had already reached Yosano Akiko's ears, she threw the thermometer next to her into the drawer without changing her expression, and kept Kunikida's eyes motionless, continuing to flip through fashion magazines.

How can there be a thermometer that automatically shows a high fever?

Kunikida Doppo felt that he had encountered a big problem all of a sudden. First of all, he had to take out his pocketbook. This was the time to let his imagination run wild for Mr. Ranpo.Kunikida Doppo's ability is "Doubo Yinke", which can materialize things that he has seen, and understand its basic structure and function, which are no larger than the size of a notebook.

"Will 39 degrees be too high? Will it burn Mr. Ranpo?" Kunikida Doppo's head recalled the scene that he insisted on coming to the detective agency once in the morning to find out that he had a high fever.He still remembers the scene where the mercury thermometer reached 38.5 degrees that day.But how can a mere 38.5 degrees compare with my perfect full attendance?

Luanbu has never been ill before, and he doesn't know what 39 degrees is like. Anyway, it's not that he is really sick when he writes it down: "It's okay."

So Kunikida Doppo activated his ability, and he asked for a mercury thermometer that showed 38.2 degrees.After a flash of light, Kunikida took the thermometer from the page and was about to hand it to Edogawa Ranpo.Ranpo's sight was attracted by Yosano Akiko's voice and movements.

"Ranpo, the thermometer you want." Yosano Akiko handed Edogawa Ranpo a thermometer soaked in warm water.

Luanbu suddenly became happy: "Wow, thank you! It's still 40 degrees, so amazing!"

Kunikida Doppo looked at his thermometer and asked, "What about mine?"

"I'll leave it for Kunikida to ask for leave next time."

Kunikida Doppo was speechless for a moment, when she looked at Yosano Akiko, she happened to meet Kunikida Doppo's gaze, and said with a smile: "Kunikida has never pretended to be sick, right?" However, the simplest thing should be chaos Abu and Yosano Akiko asked for a certificate of illness.But Luanbu didn't ask her, and she didn't give it either.As far as Yosano Akiko personally is concerned, she still likes to see the side of Ranpo full of mistakes and omissions in daily life-this shows that Ranpo lives very comfortably.

Didn't Exupery write like this? "I always believe that a person can live innocently and simply, and it must be protected by countless people around him at a greater price."* But Luanbu is the other way around.It is precisely because of being protected by Ranpo that they can live so peacefully and maintain Ranpo's innocence and simplicity.

Because he and Yosano Akiko had just been together, Kunikida Doppo, who has always been loyal, diligent, down-to-earth and sincere, never thought of doing this trick at all.At this moment, he was dazed and dazed, and felt that this method was too cheating and too clever.

Ranpo put the thermometer given by Yosano Akiko in Kunikida Doppo's hand, and said, "I'm going to lie down now, you help me talk to the president." After Ranpo finished speaking, he swooped in On the sofa, holding his chest, closing his eyes tightly, pretending to be weak.

After a while, Ranbu heard footsteps, it was Natsume Yuku.

Ranbu squeezed his eyes out, saw that Natsume Yujiu was about to leave after putting the cup on the table, and said, "You don't even ask me, why are you lying on the sofa?"

Natsume Yujiu felt that he might be tired, or he just wanted to lie down, or it might be a joke. Now that he was in a hurry, Yujiu followed him and said, "Why is Mr. Ranpo lying on the sofa?"

Luanbu said, "I have a high fever and need to go to the hospital."

Yujiu saw that his complexion was normal, there was no sweat on his forehead, he was full of energy when he spoke, and he was not weak at all, so he didn't know what to respond, so he said "um" in his throat, and said: "The boss said that the coffee is ready to drink It's better to drink, so don't lie down for too long."

Luanbu said immediately: "I'm already sick, you have to take me to the hospital."

"But isn't there an infirmary here?"

Haku pointed to a room in the detective agency and said.

What's more, Yu Jiu himself also has the ability to heal.

As soon as he said this, Yoshino Akiko immediately followed suit covering his forehead, and said, "I may not be feeling well today, and I can't heal my illness." She could only help here.

Luanbu saw that Natsume Yu was disobedient for a long time, so he said: "Natsume, you have to listen to me."

Yu Jiu had no choice but to say: "Okay, I will take you to the hospital for treatment. I will carry you on my back."

As Yujiu said, he bent his back.

Ranpo forgot that he didn't have to agree with the president before he could leave. Seeing that Yuku was ready, Edogawa Ranpo lay down on the ground without thinking.He didn't usually think about Yu Jiu's appearance, but now when he lay down on the ground, he felt that Yu Jiu was really taller than himself, and his whole body was clean, and his clothes had a refreshing smell.

Natsume Yujiu just took two steps, and hurriedly said, "My coffee."

Uku supported the weight of Edogawa Ranpo behind his back with one hand, and took out a hand to hold the coffee cup for Edogawa Ranpo.

"Do you still need a bag?" Natsume Yujiu said when he heard Ranpo drinking coffee on his back.

"I won't take it anymore."

Just as Ranpo and Natsume Yuku were about to leave, they ran into the president and Kunikida Doppo who had just come out of the office.Kunikida Doppo is not good at lying, and lies are full of loopholes, so the president wants to ask Edogawa Ranpo himself what is going on.As a result, they ran into Ranpo and Natsume Yuku head-on.Before he had time to say a word, Yu Jiu said: "President, I will take Mr. Ranpo out for a trip, sorry, I have to ask for leave."

"Ah, uh, it's okay."

The etiquette that has been honed for a long time, before there is any response, the president responded first, but belatedly watched the two leave.

When the president saw the two people walking away, and Yosano Akiko came over to watch them off, he asked, "Ranbu, what's wrong?" He didn't usually pretend to be sick on purpose.

"Ranbu saw that Natsume-kun was not in good spirits, so he planned to take him to relax." Yosano Akiko said.

After saying this, Kunikida and Fukuzawa Yukichi were surprised.

Kunikida Doppo said with emotion: "As expected of Mr. Ranpo, you can see the changes in other people's moods without wearing glasses."

President Fukuzawa Yukichi used to think that Ranpo Edogawa was a child-like person who didn't look at faces, didn't understand the world, and didn't understand human feelings.He even thought that no matter how many years, 20 years, or 30 years, time will not leave traces on Edogawa Ranpo. He did not expect him to have such a meticulous, transparent, considerate and caring side.Fukuzawa Yukichi said with relief: "Ranpo's age is really not for nothing."

Yosano Akiko doesn't think so.If he didn't worry about it, how could Edogawa Ranpo find out that Natsume Yuku's mood changed.Reminiscent of the changes in Edogawa Ranpo from last year to this year, Yosano Akiko subconsciously said: "Based on my intuition, Mr. Ranpo is likely to fall in love."

As soon as this was said, the doubtful and bewildered voices of the president and Kunikida Doppo rang out at the same time: "With whom?" The voices also revealed the rigor and depth similar to thinking about a case.

Yosano Akiko was choked immediately: "..."

Didn't people just walk out with Edogawa on their backs in front of you?

But unlike Akiko, the president and Kunikida brainstormed frantically in silence.

They didn't have such a character in their impression, and they never thought that Ranpo Edogawa would fall in love with someone.Intuition told them that this was a very scary thing—either Edogawa Ranpo was trapped by a rich woman outside with a dessert trap, or Edogawa Ranpo might also have taken a fancy to a child, maybe together When playing, I found that I had a lot of fun with the other party, so I wanted to play with her every day.

Both are horrible!

no! !

Seeing that the eyes of the two people became more and more terrifying, and the anxiety seemed to be an invisible gas that was about to crawl out from behind them, almost like a giant overwhelming them, and Yosano Akiko's eyes flashed, and said: "I just said It's just possible." Luanbu may not be enlightened.

As soon as this was said, the mood of the president and Kunikida turned cloudy, and it was good to say it again and again.

※※※※※

As soon as Yuku got off the elevator, Edogawa Ranpo had already finished his coffee, wiped his mouth casually and said, "Take me to the headquarters building of the Port Mafia."

Yujiu was taken aback for a moment.

Yuku intuitively felt that the name "Osamu Dazai" would appear in Ranpo Edogawa.

In the morning, Yu Jiu was really unhappy, because he really felt that it was too inexplicable.

Why did Osamu Dazai's mood change so quickly?

Is it because I buy things too slowly?

When he got along with Osamu Dazai before, he never felt that he had stepped into Osamu Dazai's minefield.No matter whether Osamu Dazai laughed at him or beat him, Yujiu could still feel that Osamu Dazai didn't really hate him.But when Osamu Dazai said that, Uku felt that his emotions were real.

Osamu Dazai's true emotions made Yuku feel terrible, it was as if a thorn had grown, piercing Natsume Yuku's heart with incomparable precision.Natsume Yujiu was confused and confused, and even a little angry.However, in the confrontation with Osamu Dazai, Natsume Yuku was the first to lose.

"I'll be back sooner next time, sorry."

Yujiu knew that Osamu Dazai couldn't be angry because of this kind of thing, but Osamu Dazai must have his reasons for being angry, and he must have done something wrong.Yujiu only felt that Osamu Dazai suddenly wanted to break with him, and the result of this confrontation would lead to a shattered ending, just like a burst bubble, it must fly high, there is a critical point, waiting It is shattered.

This break has nothing to do with whether Osamu Dazai suddenly became bored with himself, but that Osamu Dazai is probably tired of this way of getting along.But Yujiu's character is like this, he can't change his character, he doesn't know how to express it more enthusiastically, and he doesn't know how to explain it more clearly so that Osamu Dazai knows his thoughts.

He just didn't want to lose Osamu Dazai.

Yu Jiu has come into contact with so many people in the past few years, as many as a cow's hair, but not everyone will accept him.Some people don't understand him, some people misunderstand him, some people hate him, and some people avoid him.However, there are very few people who can really get along with him.While Yu Jiu is working hard to maintain the friendship with them, he is also parting, and understands that they will have their own lives after all, and he will be alone in the end.

In fact, Yu Jiu once thought of being with the brothers of the police academy team forever.However, once they graduated, everyone took it for granted.Only Yu Jiu actually reacted a little slower, still chasing after their shadows, waiting to become a policeman and be with them again.But gradually, he realized that something was wrong. They had ended their "together" life and would not go back.

Having been with Dazai for so long in Hong Kong, Yujiu has become very used to looking for Dazai when he has something to do, and he can also go to Dazai when he has nothing to do.Even if they don't chat, getting along is not uncomfortable.When Yujiu left Ganghei, he also thought about finding someone who was similar to Osamu Dazai, not the same as him, but a friend who was comfortable to get along with.

But everyone is different.

Osamu Dazai is unique.

And even if they separated, Osamu Dazai would come to him from time to time.

Yu Jiu took it for granted that this friend would stay forever, because their lives could be linked together, and they would not be separated because of the city, occupation, or time, and could only become each other's passers-by.

Yujiu thought, if Osamu Dazai never finds someone who can save him in his whole life, then he will try his best to accompany Osamu Dazai.

However, now Osamu Dazai said that he was annoying and annoying.

Yujiu felt that someone had suddenly thrown him into the snow mountain, and he couldn't adapt at all. His first reaction was to think that Osamu Dazai would never get along with him again.Yu Jiu now blames himself for saying such a thing, even if he thinks Osamu Dazai really thinks so, he should pretend that he doesn't hear it.As a result, it turned into such a difficult situation - knowing that Osamu Dazai hated expressing his emotions very much, and he wanted to force him to speak, Yu Jiu felt that he had made a mistake, and now he immediately recovered the situation with an attitude of admitting his mistake.

However, Osamu Dazai did not intend to avoid this matter.

Osamu Dazai said that he felt that if he continued to get along now, Xiaobai could only become an ordinary person in his life, just like Hirotsu Ryuran, or those subordinates whom he could not remember.For him, Xiaobai is just a daily acquaintance, and he may meet and say hello, but to him, it is meaningless.

Osamu Dazai said that he felt that if they should just separate and never see each other for the rest of their lives, maybe Xiaobai might become a very special person to him instead.Besides, he had already talked about it, and it was disgusting that Yujiu wanted to whitewash Taiping.

Yujiu really wants to be a special person in Dazai's heart, but he doesn't want to lose Dazai.

"I want to keep getting along with you."

Yujiu clearly saw the disappointment on Osamu Dazai's face.Yujiu thought for a moment that Osamu Dazai actually took himself very seriously, but his mortal thoughts pulled him down from the high platform in Osamu Dazai's heart.

Their ideological realm is not synchronized.

Yujiu didn't know how to describe his feelings. He really didn't understand Dazai Osamu, and he was very afraid that Dazai Osamu would hate him, so he insisted: "I will pay attention not to cause trouble for you in the future. If you encounter anything If so, please tell me at any time, and I will definitely help you." Yujiu wanted to say sorry to Osamu Dazai, that he couldn't become the same person as him, but it would appear that the distance between him and Osamu Dazai was getting farther and farther.

Yujiu didn't know how to continue to face Osamu Dazai, and after finishing speaking, he left directly on the grounds that he had to go to work.

When Yu Jiu left, he suddenly thought of a sentence, a sentence he had read in the past, which he didn't quite understand at that time.But when I suddenly recalled it now, I felt a little bit stunned. It said, "When I realized that we were about to diverge from each other, it seemed that the sun and the air were crushing themselves."

……

Sure enough, random steps are random steps.

"You're unhappy because of that thing called Osamu Dazai, aren't you?"

After Ranpo finished speaking, he felt that he was possessed by Yu Jiu, and he soon became unhappy.

Yujiu doesn't want to mention Dazai Osamu for the time being.

He had never met someone who made him so sad.

Ranbu climbed down from Yujiu's back, spread his hands to Yukui and said, "I know why you guys quarreled. It's actually because I took his things, and then he got angry, and then blamed it on you. You Just hit me on the palm!"

Luanbu paused, and added: "I promise not to cry or scream!"

Yujiu felt that even if the fuse was random steps, so what, he and Osamu Dazai had different ideas, and they had different ideas about feelings.Yujiu was looking forward to a long time, but Osamu Dazai didn't think so.

Yu Jiu lowered his head and said, "I'm not angry at all, I'm just a little tired, and I'll be fine soon."

Ranpo directly took Yu Jiu's hand and said, "Take me to the headquarters building of the port mafia, now! Immediately! Immediately!"

"why?"

"I want to scold him, I want to bring a lot of people to scold him! He is a big idiot! He even threw away his friends, he is a big idiot! I have never seen such a stupid person in my life! How can he live like this? There is no time to be happy when you are happy!!"

Ranpo is now more popular than Yu Jiu.

"???"

Seeing Yu Jiu still not leaving, Luan Bu directly walked forward with Yu Jiu's arm between his arms, and asked Yu Jiu, "Do you still want to be friends with him like before?"

"think."

"If you want to, you run! Run as hard as you can, just like saving people from fire, run quickly!"

Yu Jiu's momentary hesitation was washed away by Yu Jiu's decision.

"Ah."

10 minutes later, Uku brought down a group of men in black at the porch of the port headquarters building.

"What do you mean a cadre who cannot see here?"

Edogawa Ranpo directly rang the fire alarm.

"The person Ranbu-sama wants to see will definitely not be missed."

A sharp buzzing sound immediately resounded throughout the building.

After the elevator at the end of the porch opened, Dazai, who was wearing a black windbreaker, came out with a large group of men in black. He avoided looking at Uku and looked directly at Edogawa Ranpo.After the direct confession with Natsume Yuhisa today, Natsume Yuhisa's mood is very flat.Osamu Dazai should know that this person is actually just a person who cannot be without friends in life. He has no self, but there are others.On the contrary, I took this feeling too seriously.

"You are offending the mafia like this. Even if you are an armed detective agency, we will not be soft."

Ranpo took a deep breath, and then shouted at Osamu Dazai: "You are such an idiot!"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Before Ranpo finished speaking, he pointed at Yu Jiu and said, "He said it."

Yu Jiu was stopped for a moment, and turned to Dazai Osamu's direction, just in time to meet Dazai Osamu's kite-colored pupils.Osamu Dazai's eyes were cold and dark, even more gloomy than that of Osamu Dazai who was directly impatient with him the first time he saw him.Yu Jiu's eyes trembled, and before the others could react, he walked up to Osamu Dazai, grabbed his neck, and pushed him down to the ground.All the surrounding guns aimed at Natsume Yuhisa's back.

"Dazai, you hate whitewashing Taiping. Then let me tell the truth."

Yu Jiu's voice also sank, like a boulder was directly pressed on his shoulders.

"I really hate you. I've never met a more hated person than you."

Osamu Dazai's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Natsume Yuku in disbelief.

"I have been with you for less than a year, and I have learned too much from you. I have learned hypocrisy, I have learned to lie, I have learned to assess the situation, I have learned to calculate people's hearts, and I have also learned a lot of dirty tricks. These are all things you told me for granted, and I learned it subtly. I once used someone else's hand in Nagano Prefecture to get rid of the people I was bored with. I also know that there are some things that I can deal with face to face, but it didn't happen until the end. , the effect will be halved.”

"Why do you think I jumped off the cliff? Brother Ling doesn't believe me at all. He believes that I will be good to him, but he is more willing to accept a good person living in this world. I have to pretend to be a good person in front of him, so as to win He was surprised. It turns out that I can really be so self-sacrificing for others. At that time, if it wasn’t for you, I would have jumped to save you. Because I have the ability to heal, how could I let myself really die?”

Osamu Dazai suddenly didn't know how to think, and just stared at Natsume Yuku.

The corner of Yujiu's mouth curled into a cold smile.

"You didn't teach me these things, and I learned them. I may be smarter, more sensitive, and understand you better than you think. Do you want to hear what I think of you? You always close your heart You have never been willing to share your own thoughts with others. You always look down on everyone because you think you are smart enough. You also like to hide your rejection with a smile because you think the world is not good enough. Someone will understand you. But you don't even give others a chance, you don't want others to approach you at all."

"You are really annoying, always self-righteous, always rejecting and rejecting, even a truth must be wrapped in several layers of lies."

"I've seen it clearly—Osamu Dazai, you are not a so-called pleasure criminal who is good at manipulating people's hearts. You reject others because you have pretentious self-esteem and are unwilling to bow your head in front of feelings; What an extraordinary ascetic philosopher. It’s just that you are just a coward who is afraid that one day people will find out that your essence is so fragile, afraid of being rejected by others, afraid of being rejected by others, afraid of being disgusted by others, so you simply give up on yourself.”

"Why are you such an idiot?"

Yu Jiu lowered his head, couldn't help the trembling of his body, and leaned on Osamu Dazai's shoulder.

"How can you say you hate me after teaching me badly. I was taught badly by you, but I still want to be a policeman in the future..."

Osamu Dazai looked up and saw blurred traces of the light, and the damp heat was all over his shoulders, as hot as if it came from the sun.

"…crazy……"

※※※※※

"Your lies are really bad, go out and stop saying that I taught you."

"Which one?"

"The one who jumped off the cliff."

"Being brave in the face of righteousness, regardless of one's own safety, this is indeed what the police academy taught me."

"What the police academy should say is, on the premise of ensuring the safety of your own life, you should act bravely and do nothing about your own safety, right?"

"Didn't I say that I have healing powers?"

"I am nullified."

"...Ah, I forgot."

"Fool."
