get out of my yokohama

Chapter 24 The Phantom Thief

As the sky gradually darkened, she was gradually left alone in the office area of ​​the detective agency.

Hill didn't go back, but stayed in the detective agency to write about Jiang Shui Xiayue's experience. This was discussed yesterday. Fei Yingli will handle affairs from outside, and she and Dr. Xie Ye will solve each other's low-level tricks.

She was checking, and Dr. Xie Ye walked over with low pressure, dragged the chair and sat beside her.

Hill looked up, "The city police released Takashi Hiramiya?"

Dr. Yosano sneered, "In Yokohama, the city police are a joke."

Takashi Pinggong coerced Jiang Shui Xiayue to go out and took her to the wilderness to beat and kick her. They saw it with their own eyes. There were many witnesses about the client's brother, but the culprit was released after staying for a day?

No wonder I reacted so violently with Dr. Xie Ye.

Hill rolled his eyes.

"The murderous intent has been exposed." Dr. Xie Ye reminded, but he didn't take it seriously.

"According to my previous temper, this kind of person deserves to die," she said calmly, "but now I have changed my mind. He will live a long life and be riddled with diseases."

After hearing this, the surgeon who was using a chainsaw as a scalpel raised a bright smile and patted her on the shoulder, "You really like me. Work hard. I'll go to Eri to have a look."

Yes, after the dinner yesterday, they called each other by name, but Hill prefers the name of doctor to Akiko, and Dr. Xie Ye generously expressed that she can call her whatever she likes.

Hill continued to read the article he had written.

This domestic violence incident happened between a football star and a seiyuu. They are both public figures, so they are destined to attract a lot of attention. Hill does not want this incident to become the capital of entertainment newspapers to catch rumors. It should be raised from emotional disputes to healthy relationships between the sexes. Above all, I appeal to both men and women to keep their eyes open and not to look for a love partner from the trash can...

It's almost time, she turned on the live broadcast, and Jiang Shui Xiayue will tell the story of her domestic violence again. Her fans have supported her, and I believe some passers-by will come in to watch.

"It's so miserable."

Hill took off the earphones and turned his head, and saw Atsushi Nakajima bent over and stared at the subtitles, which read "He threw the plate in my face, slapped me, and then cried and told me he was wrong, he loved I promise again and again that there will be no next time, but the next time will happen again, and there will never be peace."

"Why didn't you go back?"

"Mr. Dazai asked me to do something, and it was a little delayed."

"watch together?"

Atsushi Nakajima nodded, took a headset and sat beside her.

"Is it really okay to tell the client's pain in front of so many people?"

After watching it for a while, he really couldn't bear it.

"Nakajima-kun, what do you think is the most fearful thing about evil deeds?"

"law?"

"In that case, why was Takashi Hiramiya who beat up my client released?"

Atsushi Nakajima was not in a good mood, and said in a low voice, "He has power."

"The powerful and evil are not afraid of the law, they are afraid of exposure, they are afraid of what is widely circulated and documented in written and video form," Hill said.

"I thought living in an orphanage would be hard enough without a home, but I didn't expect people with families to suffer so hard."

Now the haggard woman on the screen said that her parents didn't care about what happened to her, which made her ex-boyfriend dare to beat her in front of her parents.

"Therefore, any violence should not be preceded by the word family. It is not an ordinary dispute, but a personal assault."

Atsushi Nakajima nodded, and then became troubled, "She is a public figure, so many people pay attention to her after the exposure, what should ordinary girls do when they meet her?"

"..."

Because he mentioned his experience in the orphanage in the previous chat, Hill felt that his gentleness was very rare.

"Nakajima-kun, do you know Rousseau?"

He was caught off guard by the question, thought about it, and shook his head.

Hill explained: "It was a French thinker who said that the most important law of all laws is written neither in marble nor in brass watches, but in the hearts of citizens."

Her voice was hoarse, but it couldn't have been clearer in Atsushi Nakajima's ears.

"More people must know that it is wrong, that it has zero tolerance, and there will be fewer tragedies derived from the family."

Atsushi Nakajima asked, "I heard what you and the client said yesterday. Are you thinking about the serial killer who found the shadow of his ex-girlfriend on innocent girls?"

Hill was not surprised, and said calmly, "Yes, they are very similar. Their relationship is also full of similar factors, quarrels, violence, and apologies, but they still do not separate. The relationship is becoming deformed. If you realize something is wrong earlier, it will not happen later. tragedy."

Finally she sighed wearily.

"I hope that similar serial killers will not appear in Yokohama."

Atsushi Nakajima also agreed.

He hadn't seen a serial killer yet, but it sounded scary.

"Okay, no more flags."

Just when the two fell into a heavy silence, Ranpo Edogawa, who was supposed to be working in Kyoto, suddenly appeared behind them, startling them.

Atsushi Nakajima smiled helplessly, "So it's Mr. Ranpo, President, you're back too."

Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded reservedly.

Hill stood up and greeted the two, "President, Mr. Ranpo, is everything going well?"

Edogawa Ranpo said, "Simple and simple, I knew what was going on just by looking at the corpse."

"As expected of Mr. Ranpo."

"It's you, can you see through the truth at a glance?" Edogawa Ranpo said meaningfully, and took out a folded paper from his pocket and handed it to her.

Hill took it, unfolded the paper, and saw the q-version avatar belonging to Kaitou Kidd first.

"What is this?" Atsushi Nakajima asked curiously.

"It's a copy of the monster thief's notice letter," Edogawa Ranpo suddenly changed the subject, "Isn't it? You saw him last night?"

Hill didn't answer.

The moment she saw the notice letter, her brain started to run at a high speed. It was like an imprecise machine, and all kinds of information were processed, categorized, and concluded quickly.

... No, before reaching a conclusion, a Hill stopped thinking again.

Edogawa Ranpo frowned, "You really will automatically become an idiot when you involve that guy."

She didn't answer, and asked, "Has Mr. Ranbu solved it?"

"Say it one last time, remove that '?" Edogawa Ranpo opened his squinted eyes. When he squinted his eyes and smiled at people, he looked like a child who hadn't grown up yet. His eyes are sharper than anyone else's. "A murder case has not solved his secret code. It's interesting. Forget it. There is an encrypted password. I read the ciphertext, but there is no key. It is impossible for the person who set up the puzzle to pass the clue For private possession, there must be a key that only a certain person knows."

As he said that, his eyes locked on Hill, and he almost said that the specific person was her.

"……I have no idea."

"How can you know if you don't use your brain?" He muttered in a low voice. It's fine for other people to be idiots. Toddlers, their brains haven't fully developed yet. This guy doesn't think at all. Let him get angry when he sees it, " Give you 1 minute to think, do you need a timer?"

He didn't know where to find a stopwatch.

Hill laughed, "Don't embarrass me, Mr. Ranpo."

"Hill is an idiot." Edogawa commented with puffed cheeks.

"I guess, Lingtang taught Mr. Ranpo not to think others are stupid?" If it weren't for the pair of excellent parents who died young, Mr. Ranpo would not always think that he was an ordinary child, and directly raised ordinary children level.

"You know this, but you can't figure out the key?"

Next to Atsushi Nakajima "..."

Help, their detective has started a group chat like no one else.

Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced at him, Nakajima Atsufuku followed him out heartily, and as soon as he arrived at the president's office, he couldn't wait to ask them what was going on.

"Holmes has a knot in her heart, and Ranpo wants to save her." Fukuzawa Yukichi briefly summed it up.

Just like he saved Ranpo and Dazai saved Atsushi.

But in Fukuzawa Yukichi's view, no one else can help her, and only those related to the past can get involved.

The place where everyone works is usually very quiet. The lighting cuts the room into two parts. The two stand clearly, one is bathed in warm light, and the other is standing in the shadow.

The so-called key is a parameter that can encrypt plaintext into ciphertext and decrypt ciphertext into plaintext. Mr. Ranpo means that there is a sentence of ciphertext hidden in the notice letter, and he thinks that the key was told to her.

Generally speaking, what Edogawa Ranpo thinks is the truth.

But Hill didn't want to think about it.

It is easy to explain in psychology. When something that a person believes in is impacted and changed, it will often not return to the middle position, but will move from one extreme to another.

Take her as an example, how persistently she chased Mr. Dazai in the past, but now she is so closed to him in her heart, she does not observe him, does not think about him, once the above two points are violated, the content about him will be automatically locked into the memory palace .

She understands that it's not academically correct, but who doesn't have a psychological problem?As long as it is within the controllable range, then there is no problem and it can be stabilized.

Seeming to know what she was thinking, Ranpo Edogawa said, "You are fine, but that guy has a big problem."

Hill "Are you kidding me?"

Mr. Dazai is very wise and close to a monster, as always, what's wrong?

Edogawa Ranpo "..."

How can I say that feeling?A-Dun knew, Tanizaki knew, Naomi-san knew, even Miss Haruno could see it, and people whose power of observation far surpassed them were still ignorant.

He was scratching his hair irritably, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and a small light bulb lit up on the top of his hat.

"Your problem is that you will automatically lose your mind when you meet Dazai, right?"

Hill "..."

She had a bad feeling.

The world's number one detective began to grope around. He took out a fish bone pendant, and walked up to her solemnly, "Did you see it?"

"Uh, the prizes that Mr. Ranpo and the president scraped off the lottery tickets in Kyoto?"

"No, this is an ornament given to me by a noble lord. As long as you wear it, you can still remain sober and rational in front of Dazai."

Hill refused, "No, no matter how you look at it, you got it by scratching the lottery."

"Hey, come and try, you will know after you try."

Edogawa Luanbu eagerly put the fishbone pendant around her neck, but Hill couldn't refuse, so he lowered his head cooperatively, and when it was over, the child asked her how she felt with bright eyes.

Hill looked strange.

"Is this a wholesale trick from the president?"

Edogawa Ranpo "..."
