73.

"I said it has nothing to do with Ranpo-sama."

Relying on his slight height advantage, Luanbu patted Xuezhi on the head.

Xuezhi slapped his hand off, and said angrily, "Anyway, I won't admit that you are a senior."

"Facts won't disappear just because you don't admit it." Luanbu still had a smile on his face, and didn't mind her cheating.

Anyway, the purpose of him and the president is to get Xue Zhi to join the Armed Detective Agency.Now that the purpose has been achieved, other details naturally do not need to be paid too much attention to.

And if this is the case, Xuezhi's hatred can be diverted from her body, and all of it will be locked on Dazai Osamu.

Random steps feel very cost-effective.

"It doesn't matter if Xuezhi doesn't marry me, but it must not be cheap." Ranbu squinted and thought with a smile.

The fact is exactly what Luanbu thought, his behavior of not forcing Xuezhi to call him senior made Xuezhi feel much better.

Of course she would not admit that she lost: "If Luanbu had already passed the entrance examination, then our bet is obviously invalid because the preconditions are not established, and the bet is naturally invalid!"

While Xuezhi led Luanbu to the task site, she was thinking in her heart how to make things difficult for Osamu Dazai in the days to come.

But Xuezhi didn't come up with a suitable solution until he was about to arrive at the mission location.

She had no choice but to put this thought aside and focus on the task that was about to be solved.

On the way to find Ranbu, Xuezhi has already seen the whole story of this case.

To put it simply, the body of a company executive was found in a small alley somewhere in Yokohama.

Because the victim's social relationship is too complicated, there are many offended people.So even the range of suspects is too large, let alone pinpointing the murderer.

Xuezhi felt dizzy just looking at the interpersonal relationship diagram just sent by the police, and could fully understand the difficulty of the police in solving the case.

"However, if it's Luanbu, it shouldn't be difficult for him."

Xuezhi secretly glanced at Luanbu sitting next to her, feeling inexplicably confident.

"Do you want to take a look at this?" Xuezhi handed the relationship diagram on the phone to Luanbu.

Luanbu glanced at it at first, then immediately looked away, and I said with some distaste: "The characters are too small, I can't read them clearly."

Xuezhi took back the phone in doubt, tried to enlarge the picture, and handed it to Luanbu again: "The characters are not small, are you short-sighted, Luanbu?"

Luanbu finally opened his eyes, stared at Xuezhi and said, "No! How can Lord Luanbu be short-sighted?"

"You showed the whole picture just now, but the characters are too small. Now that you zoom in, you can't see all of it. Lord Luanbu doesn't want to see it."

Ranbu turned his head away from looking at the screen of the phone handed in front of him.

Xuezhi knew that he was trying to be lazy, so she was angry and funny.

She looked at her mobile phone screen which was indeed too small, and thought that the police would give him paper documents later, so it didn't matter if she didn't read it now, and she didn't force him.

But even so, she still wanted to stab at Luanbu, so she deliberately said: "You must be short-sighted, otherwise why would Dad give you glasses?"

After stabbing this sentence, she added on her own: "It's okay to be short-sighted, it's not something to be ashamed of, why don't you admit it?"

Luanbu looked at her sinister intentions, not only wasn't angry, but also looked at her with a smile: "Because the fact is that I don't have myopia, and the president knows about it. So he specially gave me plain glasses without prescription."

This is a rare moment of high EQ in Ranpo. It not only tells the truth, but also shows off Fukuzawa Yukichi's love for him to Xuezhi.

Xuezhi: ...Damn it, he showed it off.

……

Furious, Yukie decided to put on the cloak Fukuzawa Yukichi gave her tomorrow and show it off in front of Ranpo.

Of course, that's for tomorrow.

Now she turned her attention to the case in front of her.

According to the preliminary judgment, the murderer is very likely to be related to the port mafia.The policeman said this while handing the information to Ranpo.

Hearing the familiar term, Xuezhi leaned over and asked in bewilderment, "Eh? Why? I remember that there were no Port Mafia members in the deceased's relationship map, right?"

"The time of death of the deceased according to the forensic examination was at night, and the fatal injury was a wooden warehouse injury. And this happens to be the sphere of influence of the port mafia."

The police officers confidently presented the clues one by one.

Another policeman, who was recording something, interjected: "And since it is a mafia, it is very likely that it was bought by the enemy of the deceased to commit the crime."

Xuezhi retorted without thinking: "But the port is black..."

Won't do such a shameless thing.

Before he finished his rebuttal, he heard a threatening voice above his head: "Since you know this is the sphere of influence of the port mafia, please be careful when you speak."

Xuezhi felt that the voice was a bit familiar.

She raised her head and followed the man who descended from the sky with her eyes.

"Chuya..." She called his name silently.

The orange low ponytail, which was almost the same color as her fourth brother Asahina Ko, drew a sharp arc in the air, but it made her speechless at this moment.

Not long ago, Guang, who was still in the middle of the Central Plains, defected from the port mafia. She personally sent Guang away from home and did not know where to wash her resume.

This made Xuezhi not know how to face Zhongye in the Central Plains at this moment.

The same seems to be the case in Central Plains, the moment he stomped heavily on the ground without restraint, his eyes flicked across Xuezhi's body, and those blue and clear eyes contained extremely complicated emotions.

He quickly retracted his gaze and turned to look into the alley.

The police officers who were originally performing their duties looked at Chuya Zhongyuan who had suddenly arrived vigilantly, and the weapons in their hands were all pointed at him.

Ranbu who was staying with them also looked over curiously, wondering if he could see clearly if he squinted his eyes.

The latter sentence is Xuezhi's inner complaint.

Zhongyuan Zhong also didn't take their vigilance seriously. Perhaps this is the absolute confidence brought by strong strength.

He just stood there, obviously there was only one person, but he blocked everyone in the alley, with an aura of one man guarding the gate and no one being able to open it.

He said, "You guys, where do you think the Port Mafia is?"

The police officers were enraged by his taunt, the hand holding the wooden warehouse turned white slightly from too much force, and a delicate balance was maintained in the alley.

Xuezhi vaguely heard the murmurs of the five cadres. It seemed that they were so nervous because they knew the identity of Zhongye from the Central Plains.

She glanced at Luanbu who was watching the play, sighed in her heart, and said, "Luanbu, don't dawdle, finish the case early and let's go buy some thick snacks."

Ranbu finally got out of the state of watching a play, but he didn't start to solve the case immediately, but took advantage of the fire and said, "Xuezhi treats you?"

Xuezhi: ...

Xuezhi: "Okay, I'm treating you. Please, Mr. Ranpo!"

Satisfied, Luanbu took out his glasses and put them on: "Extraordinary abilities, super reasoning!"

Xuezhi waited quietly for Ranpo to give the result.

Nakahara Chuya and the police officers at both ends of the alley also focused on Ranpo.

After half a minute, Luanbu nodded his chin seriously and nodded: "So that's the case, I know."

Seeing the tense situation again, Xuezhi asked without waiting to speak indiscriminately, "The case has nothing to do with the port mafia, right?"

Ranbu didn't know why she spoke up suddenly, but she still answered her question: "That's right, it has nothing to do with the port mafia."

Xuezhi's heart hanging in mid-air was relieved, and she walked towards Zhongyuan Zhongye: "Let's go to the alley and talk, I think you should ask me something."

Although she didn't want to face Chuya Nakahara, it was obviously not wise to let him stay here to confront the police.

Seeing that there was no response from Zhongyuan Zhong, Xuezhi explained: "Lanbu said that it has nothing to do with the port mafia, so it will definitely be fine, so leave it to him here."

Zhongyuan Zhong also took a deep look at Xuezhi who was getting closer and closer to him, helped his hat on his head, and took the lead in turning around and walking towards the alley.

……

Nakahara also wanted to ask Xuezhi, and he didn't need to think about it. It must be about his former subordinate, Asahina Ko, who defected from the port mafia not long ago.

Sure enough, Xue Zhi followed Nakahara Nakaya not far out of the alley when she heard Nakahara Nakaya, who had his back turned to her, asking her: "Nako Asahina, where is he now?"

Xuezhi was silent for a few seconds, and said truthfully, "I don't know either."

Fearing that Zhongyuan Zhong would not believe it, Xuezhi hastily added: "He didn't say anything when he left. Our family doesn't know his relationship very well, and we can't guess where he will go."

Zhong Yuanzhong also sneered: "You will tell the truth."

Xuezhi heard his anger from his plain words.

But in the final analysis, in this matter, their positions are completely opposite.There was nothing she could do about his anger.

"Even if you really knew, you probably wouldn't tell me."

Zhong Yuanzhong also turned to look at her, as if he wanted to read something from the expression on her face.

It's a pity that he miscalculated, because Xuezhi really didn't know anything.

Of course, if she really knew something, she wouldn't be telling him the truth.

It was precisely because he wanted to understand this point that Zhong Yuanzhong did not continue to ask.

But when his eyes met Shang Xuezhi's apologetic eyes, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly rose again.

His expression was very calm, and his voice was very soft, as if it was the calm before the storm.

He said, "You brothers and sisters, do you think the port mafia is a place where you can come and go when you want?"

Xuezhi quickly shook her head: "No..."

She wanted to explain, but found that her language was so poor that she could only speak such pale words as no.

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at her quietly, as if he was waiting for her to explain, and seemed to want to find out the answer from her expressions and movements himself.

But he was still disappointed after all, he couldn't find any reason to excuse her, nor could he find any evidence to convince him.

Xuezhi saw that in those beautiful, clear cobalt blue eyes, a cluster of light was slowly annihilated in silence.

There was an impulse in her heart to keep that cluster of light, but she clearly knew that she had no qualifications and no position.

She couldn't do anything, she could only lower her eyelids in embarrassment, silently waiting for Chuya Chuya to pronounce the sentence.

But she only waited until Zhongyuan Chuya's cell phone rang.

Zhong Yuanzhong also walked aside to answer the phone, and came back after a while.

He didn't stay any longer, and after saying a word to her, he turned and left again, disappearing from her sight.

The last words he said before he left still lingered in the wind.

He said, "Asahina Yukie, goodbye."
