It is not clear how much role the legendary cohabitants have. All in all, that night, many caring people watched the few thugs who usually sneaked around crying and escaped from the legendary "ghost house".

As for the new owners of this small building, Edogawa Ranpo and Shiraishi Yuki lived in the small hotel introduced by Holmes and slept soundly all night.

"You two know what happened in that building yesterday?"

Sherlock Holmes, who was a little curious about the actions of Shiraishi Yuki and Edogawa Ranpo, came to the small hotel early the next morning to find them, his eyes were black and blue.

He is really curious, what is in that house, is there really any "ghost"?

The few gangsters who escaped were vague, but they were all obviously stimulated, and kept secret about the situation in that building. Mr. Holmes recently expressed that he had been bored for a long time because there were no interesting cases, so he also dismissed such nonsense. Very interested.

"...It's nothing, if you really want to say it, it's just a little psychological hint." Shiraishi Yuki looked at Edogawa Ranpo, saw that the famous detective didn't mean to explain, and put down the coffee in his hand , explaining to Mr. Holmes with a smile.

"There are no shark-like ghosts. Mr. Ranpo and I have been living together for several days. Both of us have nothing to do. How could something happen if someone broke in?"

Shiraishi Yuki waved his hand, "They are scaring themselves."

"Well……"

Mr. Holmes raised his eyebrows, but did not respond to Yuuki Shiraishi's answer. He turned his eyes to Ranpo Edogawa and hummed meaningfully.

The detective blinked his eyes, lowered his head and took a sip of juice.

He doesn't like coffee.

"Having said that, in our city, there are quite a lot of strange characters that have appeared recently."

Seeing that the two parties did not intend to tell the truth, Mr. Holmes was not interested in further questioning. Anyway, those people trespassed on the houses, not to mention not dead, even if they died, they would at most be asked to go to the police station for an interrogation. Just investigate.

He changed the subject and mentioned many strange things that had happened in this city recently.

"I heard that there appeared in the black market a shark hand who would do anything for money. He was tall and never showed his face." Holmes said as he leaned forward and leaned forward in front of the two of them. "I'll figure it out." The time when Shark Hand appeared was almost the same as when you appeared, so maybe this one has something to do with you?"

Shiraishi Yuki lowered his eyes and took a sip of coffee, his light golden eyes narrowed slightly.

Hearing this information, she almost guessed who this was.

Most of them are Fuhesher.

"It has nothing to do with me." Edogawa Ranpo replied very calmly.

He would not accept Holmes' temptation.

"That's true... But a lot of interesting things have happened recently, and I need someone smart enough to help me sort out my thoughts." Sitting carelessly opposite Edogawa Ranpo, Holmes raised his index finger, "There are two Case: One was on a yacht, a certain nobleman stalked under the watchful eyes of everyone, and finally climbed onto the railing in a panic and fell into the sea to die. I checked, and the man who was killed by him had died a day ago... In other words, he killed a dead person in public."

When he was explaining the case, he noticed that Ranpo Edogawa gradually stopped his movements, and when he began to listen to his explanation, his slender eyes narrowed and a smile appeared.

"The second one is also the case that involved me in this series of events... It is also a nobleman. After being murdered by a shark, the prisoner wrote my name in his blood... According to my investigation, the nobleman He has robbed his wife and abused him, and the wife of the prisoner in this case was one of the victims... Strangely, this prisoner, who was just a civilian coachman, pushed away everything except him that night. The mansion that was empty except for the noble earl killed him and left."

"I went to see the coachman and he made it clear to me that someone helped him with the whole criminal plan and helped him get revenge."

"Let me hear your thoughts, Edogawa Ranpo, after listening to these two cases, what do you think?"

"It's very simple. There is a criminal gang. I'm not sure how many people it is. They are planning this kind of crime behind the scenes." Edogawa Ranpo put down his finished juice glass, affirming Holmes' thoughts.

"It's just that there is too little information available, so we can only make this kind of speculation, and the others are temporarily uncertain."

He opened his eyes and looked at Holmes, who rarely looked at him with a serious expression for a while, and then sighed, "I think so too, and I'm still asking Lestrade for information about the recent death of a nobleman. "

"Ah, Lestrade is Inspector of Scotland Yard, and the chief source of my case."

"...Well, it's the same as those stupid police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department."

Edogawa Ranpo nodded approvingly, "I have to say that some idiot policemen are really slow."

"Have you thought about it too?"

After Holmes left, Ranpo Edogawa looked at Yuki Shiraishi who had been drinking coffee with his head down since Holmes talked about the case.

Although the little idiot is very stupid, she has to be said to be very keen in this kind of matter.

"The ones who died were nobles, and the ones who did it were basically civilians who were oppressed by the nobles. What did this remind you of?" Shiraishi Yuuki put down the teaspoon stirring the coffee, blinking his light golden eyes,

"Who gave the commoners the courage to fight against the nobles?"

"It's an aristocrat."

"Very likely." Edogawa Ranpo nodded, this was information he had not told Holmes just now.

The class solidification in this era is very serious. Few commoners will awaken the consciousness of fighting against the nobles, but even after awakening their consciousness, they will rarely choose such a dramatic way to punish those nobles.In the same way, only the help of the nobles can make the common people have the courage to retaliate.

"I'm not interested in class antagonism, but I've always had a gut feeling that they might be the key to getting back."

"It's possible, I feel the same way."

Shiraishi Yuuki nodded accordingly, and Edogawa Ranpo was determined when she said that.

That organization... Even if Holmes couldn't find it, he would find it.

"Don't you need Mr. Holmes' help? I think he is quite interested in that organization."

"Compared to his interest in that organization, I still think that organization is interested in him." Edogawa shook his head in disorder, still having some doubts about Holmes.

He instinctively felt that Holmes might not be a very good communication partner.

Some things don't feel right to let him know now.

"I have a question."

When Shiraishi Yuki and Edogawa Ranpo returned to the house, those prying eyes were no longer nearby.

She walked to the oven and planned to make a big sponge cake for herself, Edogawa Ranpo, and the co-tenant of this house, and suddenly asked a question when she was arranging the ingredients.

"?"

Edogawa Ranbu turned his head when he heard the words, and waited quietly for the little girl to ask her questions.

"You said, since this is a crime against nobles, will anyone above notice this? What is their attitude?"

Yuuki Shiraishi was referring to the highest ranking ruler of the city, the queen of Inilis.

"Her subordinates shouldn't be so useless, right?"

"Sarcasm, who knows." Edogawa Ranpo thought for a while, quickly withdrew his eyes, and leaned his head on the back of the chair, "For that person, as long as there is no enough injury, she should You don't care, do you?"

"So far, the two nobles who have been killed by sharks are silverfish who have not contributed much to Guo Jia and have been eating their own money."

Maybe the grown-up will be happy that these people have been dealt with.

"It's okay if you don't notice it, but if you really notice it and let it go, then the person in power of Guo Jia... is really scary."

Shiraishi Yuki poked the tenant's furry cheek? /head? , and then murmured in a low voice.

Edogawa Ranpo and Shiraishi Yuki planned to come at their own pace instead of exchanging information with Mr. Holmes, but Mr. Holmes obviously did not intend to let them go, and he took the initiative to come to the door soon after, and brought his partner Mr. Watson .

"Sorry, I came here temporarily, I have a question..."

With an embarrassed smile on his face, Holmes glanced at the man behind him who was completely covered in a dark cloak.

Edogawa Ranpo just followed his gaze and let Shiraishi Yuki off with a blank expression.

"reject."

"Wait, Luanbu, it's a great help anyway, let's take her in for a while before finding a place to stay." Holmes put his hands together and begged Edogawa Luanpo, but Edogawa Ranpo refused quite firmly.

"No, her target is not me."

Edogawa Ranpo shook his head meaningfully, squinted his eyes at Holmes, and lowered his voice.

"After all, I'm not as famous as you, a famous London detective."

"what happened?"

Shiraishi Yuki did not listen to Edogawa Ranpo's words, but welcomed Watson and the woman covered in a cloak in a friendly manner.

"Come in and rest for a while, you are very tired."

Shiraishi Yuki looked at the woman with some dust marks on her body, as if she had just encountered an accident.

"Ah, the clothes are so dirty..."

She soon looked embarrassed again, because she had no suitable clothes for the lady to change.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, they will go back to Baker Street in the end, and the landlady's clothes are more suitable for her." Edogawa Ranpo said after seeing this, and then glared at Holmes.

"Don't want to bring any danger to my house."

"Hey, don't I have doubts too?"

Holmes was not frightened by my Edogawa Ranpo's cold face. He licked his face and smiled, then approached him and lowered his voice, "This lady is the target of my client." He couldn't help but say so. Zhu shook his head, "But to be honest, I am also very puzzled about this person's purpose."

"...No purpose, it's just that a well-intentioned thief discovered that he had stolen a very important secret, so now he is worried about his own life." Edogawa Ranpo said to the person who claimed to be Irene Adler The young lady is not interested, and even wants to stay away from her.

"Huh?" Hearing Edogawa Ranpo's words, Holmes had a guess in his heart. He confirmed to Edogawa Ranpo full of doubts, and the other party let out a snort from his nose, indicating that he had guessed right.

This Irene Adler herself might be the client.
