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

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

"This is a trap made with ropes. If the secret room was in the victim's clothes, the only spare key was only used when we opened the door just now." Di Si talked eloquently: "The prisoner killed the manager and walked into the room. Lock the door outside, and then use a thin thread to send the key back to the pocket through the crack of the door, and the thread is cut and then recycled and disposed of.”

I still wanted to listen to his high-spirited talk, but I was not interested in half of it.

This reasoning is simply flawed.

He asked Edogawa Ranpo enthusiastically: "How is my reasoning, detective."

"Are you an idiot?" Edogawa lazily got up from the table: "No, it's too rude to use a questioning tone."

He stretched out his hand, resting his chin and pointing: "You are an idiot."

Wouldn't that be more rude...

"The door gap is narrower than expected, and the key is in the butt pocket of the corpse lying on its back. It's not easy to know such a trivial thing."

He didn't give up: "The prisoner got out after tearing down the window."

"It's a blizzard outside the window, and the window is not wet with snow." Edogawa Ranpo looked contemptuous.

"The chaotic state is very good." I blinked: "The ability cannot be used, but the experience of a detective is much better than mine."

At least when I was thinking about the hypothesis, Edogawa Ranpo could tell something was wrong at a glance.

"No." Edogawa slammed the table with a hammer: "I..."

Then he turned and left.

I froze for two seconds, then followed.

The state of Edogawa Ranpo...why is it so strange?

I saw him shrunk back to the sofa, refusing to communicate, and I was a little puzzled.

It's like... discovering the truth that has been concealed all along, but refusing to admit it in my heart.

This state...I thought about two years ago, I suspected that Osamu Dazai leaked my ability to the Special Ability Secret Service. I just had that idea, but I was cut off by myself again, because I didn’t believe that the person I love the most would hurt me. lie to yourself.

Until the self-deceiving person was exposed the truth.

"Why don't you let me do the interrogation." I flicked my wrist, and the scalpel moved flexibly on my fingertips, exuding a murderous look: "Although I don't have supernatural powers, my interrogation skills are also very good."

Osamu Dazai taught it himself, although he hasn't done it for a few years...

Let me think about it, who should I practice with first?That little bastard named Gui Qi, he is the ugliest.

"Beating up all the suspects to force out the real culprit is completely against the rules of the game. With the author watching the world...do you want us to be trapped here forever?"

"..." I had no choice but to say, "Then I'll look it up again, and wait until there are more clues."

"I said, Luanbu, it's like I lost my powers, but my physical skills and interrogation skills are still the same. Even if a famous detective temporarily loses super reasoning, he is still the most powerful famous detective in the world."

After saying this, I left Ranpo Edogawa's room.

I went to the scene of the crime again, but I still didn't see anything. I went to other places in the mansion, and there was nothing unusual.

The only thing related to the case is the scene of the crime.

I went back to the doctor's room and sat on the bed thinking.

The secret room cannot be entered and exited, and it was a homicide. There must be a murderer. The four suspects are not like a murderer because they cannot enter the secret room without a key. Only the protagonist played by Ranpo Edogawa has a key and has been to the scene of the crime. .....

Eh?

Could the murderer be a detective?

After all, only the detective has the key, and the detective is the first person to discover at the scene...

I am not a doctor, but I was assigned the identity of a doctor. That is to say, before I came, the doctor was an independent personality with the ability to think, and the detective who was replaced by Edogawa Ranpo was also like this.

This design is interesting, the protagonist is a murderer or something...

I was just about to go out to find Edogawa Ranpo, when a strong wind hit from behind, I dodged by relying on the sense of crisis warning, and saw an ax hanging on the wall.

There is no one in the room, the ax is an automatic mechanism, so... the reason why the victim died in the secret room is not that it is impossible to commit a crime, but that there is no human mechanism to commit the crime?

For a while, I was stunned.

As far as the agency is concerned, in a mansion where the fingerprints cannot be verified, how to deal with the murderer.

During the two seconds I was thinking, I opened my eyes wide and saw that the ax that had been mounted on the wall suddenly moved again and flew towards me.

Doesn't it mean that there are no supernatural powers?Poe? ? ? ! !

It's a joke.

I dodge the completely unscientific attack of the axe, and my stomach hurts.

Oh shit.

That scalpel I keep in my pocket...

Plot killing doesn't play like this.

I held back the fishy sweetness in my throat, opened the scalpel, and leaned against the wall, trying to tell Edogawa Ranpo what I found.

There was another attack behind me, I was powerless to dodge it, I ate it abruptly, fell to the ground, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Edgar...I go out, if I don't kill you, I will...no, Dazai said not to kill the members of the group, although I don't know what his plans are, but it's better to be obedient.

Or bald his raccoon.

The door was opened, the four suspects pushed the door open, and Edogawa Ranpo also came late.

"The murderer is..." I forced myself to say these words, and then lost consciousness.

your mother?

I appeared in the room in the form of a spirit body with a blank face, leaning against the wall, watching Edogawa's unbelievable random steps, and I don't know if they can feel the murderous aura.

I figured out why the victim would only say half of "the murderer is...", the co-author is the author's malice.

What to do now, if Edogawa Ranpo is still in such a decadent state, even with the double buff blessing of the detective and murderer, he will die from the plot killing sooner or later.

If he dies, it's really game over.

In the end, I didn't expect that Edogawa Ranpo just stared at my corpse twice, and then opened his emerald green eyes: "I know the truth."

A burst of golden light swept over Edogawa Ranpo and I, and the next second, we escaped Poe's power and appeared in the real world.

Sure enough, a detective is still a detective. As long as you are interested in something and want to do it, you can tell at a glance.

I ignored Edgar Allan Poe's shock, approached him murderously, and then fished out the raccoon on his table.

"Carl! How did you get out? My novels are obviously seamless..."

Edgar Allan Poe didn't know which side to be shocked for a moment.

"You talk." I silently hugged the raccoon to the side.

So obedient, so soft, I seem to have found a meal replacement for cats.

"It's really exciting, you only made one mistake." Edogawa Ranpo's words drew Poe's attention away.

Raccoons are good.
