[Bungo Stray Dogs] On the Compatibility of Reaper and Black Slime

================================

The man was not dead yet, he stretched out his hand: "Behind that door..." and then died.

Do you have the skill to say who the murderer is?A man and a woman, how tall they are, and why there are two people in the mansion... I was shocked as to what kind of clues they provided.

Edogawa ran over at random, and opened the door. Behind the door was a brick wall, with the words "Secret Room" written on the wall in black and red blood, and a cat was drawn provocatively.

"He said that this is a serial killing. If the culprit is not found, we will also be reduced to the ghosts of the sword?" Edogawa Ranpo brushed the image of the cat with his fingertips, and his tone was not quite right.

Edogawa turned around in disorder, and walked outside.

Just as I was about to follow, I was surrounded by several people: "Doctor, please examine the body."

Who do you call a doctor?

I belatedly remembered the white coat I was wearing, and wanted to break free, but the force holding me was infinite, and I couldn't resist his move to forcibly lead me to the corpse.

Even if I stood up, I was blocked by the air wall at the door of the room.

The reaction of the onlookers was very real: "Doctor, what are you going to do? If you want to find Mr. Detective, let's do an autopsy first."

what is this?Is the forced melodrama of the fictional world?

But the problem is that I'm not a doctor.

I walked over bravely and knelt down in front of the corpse.

I am no stranger to blood and corpses, but who would stare at them on weekdays...

"Doctor, what's the cause of his death?" The person who grabbed me just now asked anxiously.

how could I know......

"You are the resident doctor, so you must be able to tell." The man said convincingly.

Me:.......Do you mean you can only say it once?

I guessed it casually: "Hemorrhagic shock, I need to discuss it with Mr. Detective."

Then, he walked out of the door very successfully.

Is it really hemorrhagic shock?

Or does it just need a valid reason to keep the plot going?

Edogawa lay on the sofa in disorder, like a listless cat.

"The cause of death was hemorrhagic shock. I probably looked around the room. There were no fingerprints, and it was a secret room. I don't know how the prisoner left. Moreover, this world seems to be forced by the plot, and the ability cannot be used... "

Can't use the ability?I stared blankly at Edogawa Ranpo.

Edogawa Ranpo shouted irritably: "That's it, Ranpo-sama's super reasoning can't be used."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have supernatural powers." I tilted my head puzzled.

"What do you know?" Edogawa Ranpo turned over and shouted irritably, "This world is a supernatural structure, and Ranpo-sama doesn't have glasses...that's the superpower activation given to me by the president. Props, without that, super reasoning can’t be used, and if you can’t use super reasoning, Ranpo-sama is useless.”

Is that so?I touched my chin: "Then we can only investigate and collect evidence step by step."

"Such a troublesome and complicated matter is the work of a detective, not a famous detective!"

I froze for a moment: "Then I will collect evidence."

Edogawa Ranpo snorted softly: "Whatever you want, Master Ranpo won't be of much use anyway."

He lay down on the sofa, decadence and boredom written all over his body.

"But I don't understand reasoning at all." I walked to the edge of the sofa and pulled the detective up: "If it's random steps, it doesn't matter if you don't have abilities. After all, super reasoning is a visual ability that requires glasses to activate." Yes, but when I called Luanpo to ask for evidence and asked for help with reasoning, Luanbu didn't use super-reasoning, right?"

"Anyway, Luanpo's IQ is higher than mine, and he is also a detective, so he must be more useful than me."

I forcibly pulled Edogawa Ranpo up: "It's up to you whether you can go out, Ranpo."

I stuffed the cat with the resistance written all over it on the seat of the dining room, and then called the remaining four people in the mansion.

Choose one of four, the murderer must be human.

A gangster named Gui Qi with a criminal record for intimidation: "I didn't kill anyone."

He didn't seem to have the guts to kill, his fierce eyes were just paper, and he was more fierce than him if he dragged a low-level member from the port mafia.

A reporter from a third-rate magazine named Ji Wei: "I didn't do it, really."

This man with a mustache looks treacherous and shrewd, but at best he can only do a little theft, and he doesn't look like he has killed anyone.

A student named Li Tian: "I didn't kill anyone."

He closed his eyes, looking frail and timid. This person cannot see his eyes, which marks a suspicion, but with such a thin appearance, he should not be able to beat the victim...

The noble lady named Yu Shang arrogantly refused to answer: "Why do you doubt me?"

The reason why this eldest lady is not suspected is the same as that of the students.

There was no trace of exercise, so it should be just an ordinary person. The victim was a man in his prime, and there was no trace of fierce resistance at the scene. The strength with which the knife sank into his chest was not the strength that students and young ladies can have.

In this world, there should be no such supernatural powers, right?I secretly asked Edogawa Ranpo.

"No powers."

Edgar Allan Poe's voice suddenly sounded.

I looked around to confirm that the voice came directly to my mind, and Edogawa Ranpo plucked his ears, indicating that he heard it too.

Are our every move being monitored?

"Do you have an alibi?" I secretly poked Edogawa Ranpo who was lying dead under the table.

Let's see which one is suspicious!

Anyway, I see that none of these four people has killed someone or has the courage to kill someone.

Maybe it's because of the compulsion of the plot that I can't see it?But this is not reasonable.

Gui Qi was full of impatience: "I sleep alone in the room."

He said very naturally, "I chop wood for the stove in the kitchen."

Li Tian raised the book in his arms slightly: "I was looking up information about the resentment of this mansion, the one-eyed cat Pluto in the study."

One-eyed cat?I thought of the cat painted in blood on the wall behind that door, it seemed to be one-eyed.

Yushang still looked uncooperative: "Why should I answer?"

I glanced at her indifferently, took out a uniquely shaped scalpel from my pocket, flicked it lightly, wiped it past the eldest lady's ear, and nailed it to the mahogany chair.

Immediately, Yushang was so frightened that he slapped the table and stood up, and said with a smile: "I remembered, I went to the manager's room, but I couldn't find any suitable clothes for me."

I glanced at Edogawa Ranpo's reaction, he still looked detached from the mortal world and was not interested in everything.

I stood up and took back the scalpel. There were some delicate mechanisms on it, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

Compared with such high technology, I still prefer pure iron scalpels.

After all, it is the only weapon.

"It can't be the evil spirit of the one-eyed cat." Li Tian said in horror.
