I paid too much for Feiwuluo

Kunikida Doppo was restless all morning.

This state was only interrupted by him for half an hour, because during that half hour, Kunikida Doppo received a middle-aged man who came to entrust him.

The other party smoked, Kunikida sent the other party away, and specifically informed Edogawa Ranpo that he would go back to the dormitory to change clothes.

Edogawa Ranpo was holding a chocolate finger biscuit in his mouth at the time, and he mumbled "Hmm".

The desk in front of him was covered with unpacked and unopened snacks, as well as a newspaper that had just been delivered to the coffee shop downstairs this morning, still smelling of ink.

The newspaper was on the last page, and the four-panel manga that was being serialized recently had a chicken soup style for the soul. It was not Edogawa Ranpo's favorite subject at all. He hadn't read it for a long time.

The crossword puzzles are getting more and more boring.With just one glance, he tosses the boring newspaper on his desk to serve as a placemat for the crumbs of his snacks.

A fluffy white cloud floated outside the window.Edogawa stared at it in random steps, moving from the middle of the red brick building on the left of the window to the edge of the roof of the red brick building on the right of the window where a few ivy climbed.

"what--!!!"

He suddenly yelled.

Kunikida Doppo, who had just returned from changing clothes, shrugged his shoulders in shock.

"Mr. Ranpo?" The young man stood at the door and asked, "Did something happen?"

"It's boring! It's really boring!!!"

It's been really peaceful these days.

Even a place like Yokohama, which has been labeled as "barbaric", "chaotic", "mafia" and "extraterritorial power", has been very stable recently, and there have been no incidents such as multi-party fights, murderers traveling at night, and waiting. Thoroughly investigate unresolved and other evil cases.

The president is not in the club, and went to the hospital with Yosano Akiko. The new Kunikida Doppo is the president's apprentice at the Budokan. In addition to being easily deceived, he will become angry after realizing that he has been deceived, and his personality is not stable. The stern-faced Kunikida Doppo is almost 60.00% similar to the president Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Of course, the number 66 was made up by Mr. Ranpo casually.

He is so boring.

If you are so bored that you don't turn your mind around, it might rust off.

"I said, Kunikida..." Edogawa squatted on the chair in disorder, picked up the marbles stuck in the gap between his and Kunikida's desks, accidentally knocked over a bottle and put it in Kunikida's desk. Deodorant spray on the table.

"Yes." Facing this senior, Kunikida was quite respectful.His knowledge of the Armed Detective Agency was gradually established about half a year ago.

Although the Armed Detective Agency is not a "company" in the traditional sense, in addition to a reasonable salary, it is a necessary prerequisite to find out the corporate culture of the company you are about to join if you want to work in one place for a long time.

"Your student?" The marbles collided with each other in Edogawa's chaotic palms, making a beeping sound.

Kunikida was taken aback, looking at Ranpo with admiration in his eyes: "Yes."

Although it is not the first time that Ranpo has "guessed" his mind, but every time I see it, I feel incredible.

Seeing "How did you know" written all over his face, Luanbu snorted proudly.It was too boring, so it was rare for him to generously explain the truth pieced together from the small clues to the other party: "Constantly looking up at the clock hanging there shows that you care about time, even to the point of being a little anxious."

"And there is only one thing that can make people care about time, an agreement—either someone else will come to you according to the agreement, or you will find someone else according to the agreement."

"It can't be the latter. You are a very planning person. Even if the office is very busy today, you can control the time to go out by yourself. So the person you are waiting for will come to you. And that person is either a bad person. A man who is punctual is either a man who cannot be punctual."

Luanbu picked up the soda in front of him and took a sip.

"Although the situation is obviously divided into two types, the people you can know in your previous social circle should have a good sense of time."

"However, you didn't choose to call to urge, most likely because you were worried that calling to urge the other party would disrupt the other party's pace, and you were afraid that the other party would have a traffic accident in a hurry. In addition, you went back to the dormitory and changed your clothes just now. , obviously you don’t want the person who comes to you to smell the smoke on your body, or—you don’t want the other person to be smelled of the smoke.”

"You can't be smoked, and you can get your understanding if you can't be punctual. Who are the candidates?"

"An important partner? Parents? Girlfriend?"

"Obviously not."

"So after ruling out the above possibilities—"

The carbonic acid in the soda surged up in his stomach, and he burped in disorder.

"You are waiting for a child."

"I don't have the ability to be independent, but without the care of my parents, I came from Tokyo's Naimori Town or Zhenme Town or other towns—in short, as long as it is not far from Naming Shori Elementary School—I went to Yokohama to find it during the holidays. your child."

"And the children who can have such deep feelings for you are only your students, even if they think with the brain of a catfish."

After Luanpo finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders, with a look of "it's just an obvious thing".

It's all very obvious things indeed.

But Kunikida thinks that ordinary people—at least himself—can't connect these "obvious" things together.

"As expected of Ranpo-san." Kunikida said again.

However, Ranpo didn't use it, after all, he didn't want to hear Kunikida's praise, so he talked about such a simple matter of observation.

He was thirsty.

Shouldn't have said it.

Ranpo felt a little bit of regret, but he quickly put this emotion behind him.

Because he made a great decision.

"By the way, Kunikida, your student came all the way! Why don't you treat her to a meal!" The young man with flying hair covered by a hat had bright eyes, and he didn't look like a 25-year-old at all.

Please eat, is a good idea.However, without waiting for Kunikida's approval, Ranpo Edogawa took out a flyer from the side and slapped it heavily on the table: "Let's go eat Monjayaki! The one in the east of the city is newly opened! Go now to participate in the lucky draw!"

Your focus is on lottery rather than text burning...

Kunikida Doppo thought to himself.

But he still agreed.

Kunikida waited restlessly for another half an hour.

Edogawa Ranbu couldn't see that he was in such panic all day long, so he took out the map to check it, and then stretched out his hand to circle the area.

"They should be around here." After Luanbu finished speaking, he threw away the map, "Let's go."

"Eh? Where are you going?" Kunikida asked.

"Find your student and go eat Monjayaki." Ranpo said it as a matter of course.

During this period, Alice went through calling the social assistance center, being thrown by a kappa who climbed ashore, the sandwich in her hand was snatched by a fat pigeon, and the two couples were taken away by a passing grandpa. Three elementary school students asked her why she was squatting here.

Just when she felt that Ango seemed to have slept for too long, and muttered "It's been more than a while!", Ango, who was covered in paper shells, woke up in horror.

In fact, the moment Ango realized that he had fallen asleep, Ango's brain woke up faster than his body.

His first reaction was that he couldn't believe that he would fall asleep in such a place, and his second reaction was to find Zhou Fang Alice.

Fortunately, he soon found this little girl who was raising Tamagotchi with her head down beside him.

Ango breathed a sigh of relief.Then, he looked at the paper shell on his body, silently paying attention.

What's this?

——Paper shell.

What is it used for.

—cover me.

So why is it covered on me?

--do not know.

An Wu was stunned by the amount of information that he couldn't figure out.

Until he heard Zhou Fang Alice asked, "Ango, are you awake?"

"Ah...um." He took out his phone and checked the time.Fortunately in misfortune, he only slept for 10 minutes.

"Sorry, I fell asleep."

Taking off the cardboard on his body, the sudden drop in temperature made him shiver.

Hiss...why is it so cold...

Anwu gritted his teeth, and with a strong will, he suppressed the thought of "it's so warm under the bed and I don't want to go out", which is exactly the same as "the bed is so warm and I don't want to go out".

"Didn't anything happen just now?" He asked Alice, while sending a message to his colleagues, asking them to check the nearby surveillance cameras in the past 10 minutes.

After all, children's descriptions are often inaccurate and unreliable.

"I saw a Kappa!" Alice vowed.

Sakaguchi Ango: "..."

He had no experience coaxing children, so he remained silent quite simply.

After all, there is no fantasy creature like a Kappa in this world.

An Wu's expression of "Well, I know but I don't believe it" was written all over his face, which made Alice a little hurt: "...I didn't lie..."

Sakaguchi Ango: "..."

Similarly, he didn't know how to comfort the child, so he could only say to her: "Let's not discuss this for the time being, or hurry up and arrive at the Armed Detective Agency."

"There is still a lot of work waiting for me." He raised his hand and glanced at his watch.After a good night's sleep, the resistance to work dissipated a lot.

Working is also a day, not working is also a day.

That being the case, Ango Sakaguchi still wants to choose a way that is more meaningful to society.

"I'm sorry, we're going to be a little tight ahead of time."

Ango Sakaguchi showed his most efficient and business-like attitude, and after repeating his speech, he didn't think he had any problems.

However, Zhou Fang Alice didn't know why her mouth suddenly deflated, showing a look of wanting to cry or not.

... what did I do?

Ango Sakaguchi was confused.

Alice would not answer him.

——Because she was wronged.

Her aggrieved point is a bit hypocritical, but in all fairness, Alice feels that her efforts have not been seen by Ango at all.

Whether she went to help find paper shells to cover Ango's body to keep him warm, or the "sacrifice" she made during the period of guarding him from being disturbed by Kappa, Ango clearly saw the extra things on his body , I also saw that I had been waiting for him to wake up, but he just didn't ask at all.

And if you don't ask, you don't care.

If you don't care, you don't like it.

Alice suddenly felt a little sour and uncomfortable in her heart.

Then I don't like Ango anymore...

she thought sadly.

Alice stopped holding Ango's hand.

Ango felt a little strange about this, but still didn't notice Alice's subtle psychological changes.

After that, he took Zhou Fang Alice all the way to the red brick building where the Armed Detective Agency was located, and smoothly sent Zhou Fang Alice back to Tokyo, and returned to his job...

—Well, if only things went so smoothly.

Ango Sakaguchi looked at the orange-haired young man wearing a black top hat in front of him, and felt that his nervous stomach pain would be hopeless for a while.

"Hey, little one, long time no see."

The other party directly ignored the existence of Ango Sakaguchi and began to greet Alice.

"Still remember me?"

"Zhongye!"

Alice will never forget anyone who bought her ice cream.

"Good boy. Come here!" Nakahara Zhong also reached out to her.

Ango Sakaguchi: "?"

He immediately wanted to grab Alice Zhou, but the little loach had already sprinted towards her before he could move.

Sakaguchi Ango: "???"

"Did you grow a little taller? Are you two centimeters?" Zhong Yuan hugged Alice and turned her upside down.

"The teacher in the infirmary said I grew 1.6 centimeters!" Alice's eyes were bright.

Ango Sakaguchi: "Ahem!"

Chuya in front of him was completely different from Ango who didn't care about what she did at all. He hadn't seen her for so long, and he could even tell if she had grown taller!

"1.6...it's a bit small, you need to eat more."

"I ate a lot! I just ate two sandwiches!"

"Cough cough!!"

"Two sandwiches are missing too. How about I take you out for a big meal?"

"Wow? Where are you going for a big meal?"

"Cough cough cough!!!"

"Anyway—" Nakahara Nakahara looked at Ango Sakaguchi, who kept emphasizing his existence with a coughing sound, "Let's find a place where there are no people who are about to cough to death."

Conflict cannot arise.Ango Sakaguchi knows better than anyone how powerful Chuya Nakahara is.

He can't even beat him.

He can only count on Zhou Fang Alice to come back to him by herself now.

"But I still have to go to the Armed Detective Agency with Mr. Ango, Mr. Sakaguchi."

Thank goodness!She did not forget!

Ango Sakaguchi felt relieved.

But having said that, why did you change your name to Mr. Sakaguchi and call him Chuya over there?

"Armed detective agency?"

Zhongyuan Zhongye looked weird for a while.

"Can't you go?"

"The teacher is there." Alice said, "I'm going to see Kunikida-sensei."

"Oh." Zhong Yuan also hugged her, his firm and strong arms gave people a sense of security, "Then you don't want him anymore. Shall I take you there?"
