This famous detective is too cute

"Hey, uncle, do you think we'll just watch you do this kind of thing?!"

Perhaps it was because the other party was in deep despair and forgot about the two people present, the corner of Edogawa Ranpo's mouth twitched, and he walked over quickly and kicked the knife directly to the other side, leaving the other party in vain.

"Shh, it's all right, don't look, my boy, close your eyes, don't look."

Shiraishi Yuki pulled the immobile boy to his side before he noticed the wheelchair not far away. The boy was disabled in the lower body and was unable to move effectively even if he was attacked. In addition, he saw someone he knew Falling in a pool of blood, the blow was too great, perhaps this is also the reason why he has not been able to recover until now.

Shiraishi Yuki covered the boy's eyes with his hands, hugged him in his arms, and covered his ears with the other hand.

"Don't listen, don't look, close your eyes, don't think, this is just a nightmare... soon dawn..."

She murmured in a low voice until she felt the stiff body in her arms relax slowly.

"Oh, no, it seems that an uninvited guest has broken in... Tsk, it's really troublesome, those two people." Both sides who were still fighting in the other building heard the wailing sound of the villa, and quickly gave up the harassment. plan.

"How do I report to that person when I go back... It's so troublesome, why don't we solve those two people together?"

Unable to continue the Shaman, the man who intended to be a Shark was stopped by Edogawa Ranpo, and he sat on the ground with his head lowered as if he had fallen into autism, and he didn't respond to anyone who spoke.Shiraishi Yuki embraced the shivering young man, and looked at Edogawa Ranpo.

The other party shook his head deeply.

Except for this young man, the rest of the people in the villa had lost their vital signs and could not be rescued.

"Call the police first, this child also needs professional medical assistance."

Shiraishi Yuki sighed, and patted the trembling boy who was hugging her.

When Edogawa Ranpo called the police, the owner, Mr. Whiteley, finally came back from the negotiation, but he found something was wrong when he stepped into the supposedly warm house.

The maid who would greet her immediately in the past was nowhere to be seen, and even the two policemen who were in charge of protection also disappeared.

"Maggie, Maggie?" He began to have a bad feeling in his heart, and Whiteley strode towards the depths, and then saw a certain police officer lying on the ground, and the deepest one, sitting stiffly on a chair The body of the maid, and the remaining few living people.

"Who are you and why are you here?! Sam—what did you do to Sam?!"

This tough member of the House of Commons with blond hair and olive green eyes was completely panicked when he saw the tragedy at home, especially when he saw his younger brother being controlled by an unknown foreign woman, and his whole body broke out.

"Calm down, uncle, your brother is fine."

"It's better to say, if it weren't for us, your brother would be in trouble."

When Edogawa ranpo saw the look of the other party when he questioned him, he knew that he had panicked, and he signaled Shiraishi Yuki to let go of the boy with his eyes.

"Brother?...Brother! Brother——Wow—"

The young man who had been immersed in his own world heard his brother's voice, as if he had finally woken up from a nightmare, he came back to his senses, and instinctively stretched out his hand towards his brother.

"Stritch, Stritch..."

The boy's body was still trembling, and his voice was trembling and choking, but he still told the truth.

So the confused congressman finally saw the police detective sitting by the wall, his face ashen ashes, already immersed in his own world.

"Why... why did you do all this?!"

"He can't hear you anymore, let's deal with all of this first." Edogawa Ranpo said, looking at the congressman with a serious expression, "Although I don't know exactly what happened, but the detective is angry."

"If you want to figure out what happened, first show me the thing in your hand."

Although he was very confused about the fact that Edogawa Ranpo and Shiraishi Yuki appeared in his home inexplicably, Mr. Whiteley still held the document in his hand tightly, and then slowly handed it to Edogawa Ranpo.

This Whiteley MP is a radical and courageous MP. He has been committed to eliminating inequality in this country and has carried out a series of activities. He has even been attacked many times because of this. Of course, the instructions for these attacks obviously came from the His aggressive stance and growing voices of support drove back members of the House of Lords who disagreed with him.

And the document he handed over to Edogawa Ranpo contained illegal evidence of collusion between the House of Lords and the local mafia, and he just took this evidence to negotiate with the House of Lords.

"Obviously, the negotiation failed."

Edogawa Ranpo knew what happened without thinking. He flipped through the documents in his hand and shook his head, "That's why I don't like politicians."

He said and looked at Yuki Shiraishi, "Do you still remember the old man from Setouchi before, he tricked us all hard."

"Although the old man is not bad, he still favors us in essence."

"I remember that the old man heard that he is still traveling all over the country and has not returned home."

Yuki Shiraishi recalled the incident where the Armed Detective Agency united with the police and various forces of the military and police to snipe the organization in black everywhere, and looked at this congressman with righteousness written all over his face, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Whiteley's type of man is probably what those people most want to see when he collapses?"

The more he upholds the principle of justice, the more certain psychopaths will want to drag him into the abyss.

"There are people like this everywhere, no surprise."

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, but still showed a disgusted expression.

"Okay, now two things,"

"First, a detective needs to know who gave you this document, and second, a detective needs to know who is negotiating with you on behalf of the House of Lords."

Edogawa Ranpo returned the document in his hand to the other party, and raised two fingers towards him.

"I hope you can answer these two questions truthfully."

"...What are you going to do?"

Councilor Whiteley looked at Ranpo Edogawa with some doubts. He already knew that these two people lived in the famous "haunted house" nearby not long ago, and they came to help because they heard the abnormal noise of the villa. .

He was very grateful to these two for helping him save his younger brother, but he was still a little puzzled when he heard Edogawa Ranpo's request.

What is happening now should have nothing to do with this person, right?

Why would he take the initiative to ask to participate?

"The famous detective is very angry." Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes and stared at Senator Whiteley seriously, "That's the reason."

Shiraishi Yuki looked at Edogawa Ranpo and looked at Representative Whiteley seriously, and said something that confused this man who was in a state of ups and downs, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Anyway, we think this The target of the strike should also be our enemy, so we plan to strike first."

As for whether this man is the reason they came to this world, they still need to get in touch with them personally to know.

Charles Ocasta Milverton, on the surface, is a big entrepreneur who runs a number of large news media companies, but in fact, he has an unknown face, which is the [threat] of the entire London underground world. king】.

All in all, whether it is for profit or his own preference, he likes to watch others go to ruin step by step. If it is a man with high moral character, courage and strength like Whiteley, he prefers to watch them fall.

"Well... Generally speaking, that's the kind of person... a man who chooses to do some very evil things for entertainment..." Edogawa Ranpo got the name of the target of negotiation from Mr. Whiteley , probably figured out the point of the problem, but the name of the other person did not surprise him.

"Albert James Moriarty, the eldest son of the Moriarty House, that is, the brother of William James Moriarty who saved you before." Edogawa Ranpo said and stuffed it into his mouth After eating a cookie, the whole person lay back, with the expected calmness on his expression.

"So that's the case, plus that adopted son of his family... Trinity..."

"The real body of the criminal secretary is the three of them."

"Hey, Mr. Criminal?" Yuki Shiraishi widened her eyes when she heard Edogawa Ranpo biting a biscuit. She had never felt threatened by William Moriarty, and even felt that the other party was a A very kind and gentle man, such a man is actually working as a criminal consultant?

"It's not surprising. Is it easier to understand when combined with their actions?" Edogawa ranpo said, stretched out his hand and made a circle in the air, and then pointed at the side, "Isn't it often Have you seen this kind of scene in novels or movies...the tragic hero who bears all the crimes and ends up walking alone...Of course I never thought that there are really fools who have the courage to do this..."

Edogawa Ranpo turned his head to look at Shiraishi Yuki, "Although I don't agree with their actions, from the bottom of my heart, I admire them very much."

"Of course, a crime is a crime, there's no denying that."

But as the twilight between day and night, the boundaries of him as a member of the armed detective agency can be a little more ambiguous.

After all, even former members of the port mafia cadres, "man-eating tigers", and "the shark-hand girl who succeeded in killing 6 people within 35 months of her debut" were included in the organization. One can imagine how big-hearted their president is Broad and reasonable existence...

"In addition to Sherlock Holmes... well, if you really want to say, the protagonist, the dark corner, and the villain are all assembled, the bright and dark lines of the story are also in place, and the main line is very clear... If you really want to Speaking of which...the foundation of this novel is already complete."

Edogawa scratched his ears in disorder, as if recalling something.

"But if anything, it's not like Poe's writing style, and there's no deduction puzzles here, just the logical development of the story..."

"Compared to being a participant, it's more like making us a witness..."

"...If we didn't exist, this novel should have been well developed..."

Hearing Edogawa Ranpo's murmur, Shiraishi Yuuki thoughtfully followed,

"What if this story is not actually intended to be completed?"
