At first I just wanted to make money

In the end, the conversation broke up badly. When the editor Murashita left, he had an ugly face because of the rare defeat.

Xingzi is also a little helpless, after all, such things as cooperation have the risk of failure.

He said at the very beginning that he would not accept cooperation, but they insisted on persisting, but they failed in the end.

Because it wasn't a big deal, Xingzi only took half a day off in the morning and returned to the Armed Detective Agency in the afternoon.

As soon as he saw her enter the door, Luanbu stood up: "Xingzi! I finished editing!"

Xingzi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that what Luanbu was talking about should be his short story "Two Taels of Copper Coin".

Seeing Ranbu still squinting, but unable to hide his expectant gaze, Xingzi felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

So... are you still looking forward to it?

Looking forward to writing good works, looking forward to my ideas being accepted by people, looking forward to having a book of my own.

Xingzi suddenly realized that what she did was not meaningless.At least Ranpo is indeed as interested in writing detective novels as the three-dimensional one, and that's enough.

Even if the writing is not as good as the three-dimensional one because of different life experiences, so what?Let these people who have been in the center of contradictions all year round have a pure hobby that does not involve anything, this is the meaning of what she does!

Thinking of this, Xingzi smiled comfortably.Seeing her appearance, Ranbu couldn't help softening her brows and eyes a lot.

Xie Ye leaned over and praised: "Mr. Ranpo's writing is very good this time, I can almost understand it."

Oda Sakunosuke also nodded: "Yes, it turns out that Mr. Ranpo wanted to tell such a story, it is indeed very interesting."

Xingzi took Luanbu's manuscript paper and read it carefully.Obviously, Luanpo has made great progress this time, and she has been able to roughly and completely understand what story Luanpo wants to tell without considering the known storyline.

The reasoning process is still somewhat obscure, but compared with the previous draft, it is a world of difference.

It can be seen that Luanbu has definitely worked hard, otherwise, given his character, it would be almost impossible for him to explain the reasoning process clearly.

Xingzi should have told Luanbu that you have done a good enough job, this version of the manuscript is completely fine.

But it is precisely because she knows how much he can do in the third dimension, so she can't say this.

After hesitating for a while, Xingzi still said: "Ranbu, you have made great progress this time, but the reasoning process is still not clear enough. Everyone in the Armed Detective Agency is already very smart among ordinary people. You don't even know it after reading this article." Half understand, barely understand. Then how can ordinary people fully understand it?"

Luanbu muttered in dissatisfaction: "I've already written it so clearly, how come some people can't understand it? That's too stupid! I can't write more clearly."

Everyone from the Armed Detective Agency also looked over, and Yosano Akiko hesitated to persuade: "I also feel that this is the limit that Mr. Ranpo can write. Let him break up the case for nothing and tell others. It's simply impossible."

Xingzi still plans to try one last time: "Ranpo, do you want to be an ordinary writer who expresses his own thoughts, or do you want to become a world-famous famous detective novelist?"

If it's just the first one, that's enough, so naturally she won't persuade her anymore.

After all, the current Ranpo is not the three-dimensional Edogawa Ranpo, and being a novelist is not his main job, nor is it his dream.

Luanbu pursed his lips, of course he understood Xingzi's meaning.After being silent for a while, he replied: "Master Luanbu must do his best, of course!"

Hearing this, Xingzi didn't know what mood he was in, so he had to say what he had just prepared: "For you, solving a case is as simple as one plus one equals two. What you need to do is to tell people why one plus one equals two. "

"I'll go back and change it." Luanbu took back the manuscript paper: "Isn't it just to explain that one plus one equals two? It's hard for Mr. Luanbu!"

Seeing his confident appearance, Xingzi couldn't help laughing: "Well, there's nothing that can defeat Mr. Luanbu."

Nothing to do today, get off work early.Xingzi didn't want to go home and nestle, so he chose to take a walk along the river.There are no people in Yokohama during the day, but the scenery is as good as ever.

Soon, she found the sound of the river splashing in front of her, and there seemed to be a person struggling in the river.

Although this scene seemed familiar, Xingzi still ran over quickly in case someone had an accident.

When they got closer, the figure of the man in the river also appeared in front of Xingzi.Dressed in black and tied with a bandage, who else could it be if not Osamu Dazai?

She said why this scene looked so familiar, as if she had seen a similar scene a long time ago.If I remember correctly, it should be when she met Osamu Dazai for the first time.

At that time, I only thought about not causing trouble, but who knew that they would become friends in the end?

It is obviously different now and then, Hoshiko squatted by the river, calmly watching Osamu Dazai struggling.

She knew that Osamu Dazai was just playing to some extent, and she didn't have to worry about him at all.

Especially now that Oda Tsukuru's book is only half written, Dazai Osamu can't be willing to die.

Osamu Dazai obviously noticed Hoshiko, he climbed up after a short time, squatted beside Hoshiko, wringing his wet clothes while complaining: "Hoshiko is so indifferent, he didn't pull me before, and he won't pull me now."

He also remembered the scene when they first met.

Xingzi sighed: "When I first saw you, I wanted to say that jumping into this river will not kill anyone."

"Hahaha!" Osamu Dazai laughed wildly, "So Hoshiko was thinking about such things at that time?"

Xingzi nodded without any shyness: "Yes, I was thinking that you clearly don't want to die, otherwise why would you choose this river?"

Come on, hurt each other!Having known each other for so long, she can be considered to have a little understanding of Dazai's character.To say that he seeks death, it is definitely the idea that he will die if he dies.

But to say that he really wanted to die with 100% desire to seek death, that's absolutely not the case.Otherwise, there are thousands of ways to die in this world, so why is he still alive?

This guy clearly wants to wait for someone who can save him.

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai restrained his smile: "You really understand me, Hoshiko."

Both fell silent, looking at the sparkling river together.At dusk, the river water showed a dazzling golden light, but with some dark colors, as if the light would disappear without knowing when.

"I found something interesting recently." Osamu Dazai said suddenly, "Someone is indeed monitoring Odasaku."

"Oh? Who sent it?" Xingzi asked knowingly.

"Mr. Mori." Dazai Osamu's kite-colored eyes filled with black mud, "I didn't know that Mr. Mori played a big game of chess, including me, Ango, and even Oda Saku."

Xingzi raised his eyebrows, still a little surprised.She always knew that Dazai was very smart, but she didn't expect the other party to find out so much in such a short time.

It seems that Ogai Mori's entire plan should have been seen through by Osamu Dazai.

"Then what are you going to do?" Xingzi asked.

Osamu Dazai's voice sounded relaxed: "I will help Mr. Mori get what he wants, and then leave the port of Mafia. Hoshiko will definitely take me in then, right?"

Xingzi said indifferently: "You are rich and capable, why should I take you in? Besides, after you leave the port of Mafia, you can come to the Armed Detective Agency. I believe they are still willing to accept you."

"Wow! Hoshiko is so scheming! Did you do all this to let me go to the Armed Detective Agency? I'm really going to tremble with fear." Osamu Dazai said exaggeratedly, and deliberately hugged himself, pretending pretend to be scared.

"If you talk like that again, I'm really going to tremble with fear, okay?" Xingzi sighed: "Although you seem to be in a bit of a miserable situation now, I still want to ask, brother and sister Akutagawa, what are you going to do?"

Osamu Dazai shrugged: "Mr. Mori will definitely not allow these two future combatants to leave the port of Mafia. Anyway, because they are needed, Mr. Mori will take good care of them. I just got rid of the two troubles. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

"Mr. Mori is just as good at raising children as you are." Xingzi couldn't help complaining: "Those two children were raised by him when the Three Views were not yet fully formed. Who knows what they will become."

"I seem to have received connotations!" Osamu Dazai protested, covering his heart with a wounded look.

It's just connoting you, Xingzi thought, but of course he didn't dare to say it.If this is said, Osamu Dazai would really dare to stay at her house and not leave.

"So." She said seriously: "It is imminent for the two children to go to school. As long as they can go to school, they can have their own thoughts, instead of being brainwashed into killing machines by Chief Sen."

Apart from having some ideas about making the two children live better in the future, Hoshiko is actually still thinking about Dazai.

She knew that after Osamu Dazai defected, Ryunosuke Akutagawa would definitely pester him crazily.If he has studied, it is because of academic problems that he has no time to trouble Dazai Osamu.

The second is because learning is teaching and educating people. If Akutagawa was influenced by learning, he might not pay so much attention to Dazai.

In fact, Xingzi also thought about letting the two children come to the Armed Detective Agency.But a very important problem is that if they also go to the Armed Detective Agency, then Yokohama's combat power will be seriously out of balance.Not to mention Mori Ogai, even Natsume Soseki probably wouldn't agree.

"I know, I know, I will arrange them before leaving." Dazai Osamu said indifferently, and stared at her sharply: "But Hoshiko doesn't seem surprised at all!"

Xingzi froze all over, too bad, she forgot to hide it.Then she smiled wryly again, facing such a script team, what's the use of covering up?It will not be seen yet.

"Ah, ah." Osamu Dazai waved his hand: "Shoshi, please don't show such an expression, it will make me unbearable."

Xingzi's eyes lit up: "Can you not bear it?"

"Of course not!" Osamu Dazai said happily, "So Hoshiko, tell me quickly, no matter what you say, I will believe it!"
