How many character cards do you have?

When Atsushi Nakajima rushed back to the detective agency, he almost ran into Kunikida who was in a hurry.

"Sorry, Kunikida-san."

"...It's Atsushi." Kunikida rubbed his brows, the blue and black color in his eyes was very obvious.

"What's the matter? Your complexion is very bad."

"Ah...the recent case is a bit tricky."

"Hey, but didn't Mr. Ranpo take action?" Nakajima Atsushi was a little surprised, you must know that there has been no case that Ranpo himself could not solve.

Edogawa Ranpo, the name in the police, represents a myth, there has never been a case that he cannot solve, and the time to solve the case is very short.

"Yes, but..."

"The prisoner is already dead!" Edogawa Ranpo heard the voice from the door, and protested dissatisfiedly, "The case will not happen again, isn't it over if we close the case like this?"

Kunikida sighed heavily: "Although that's the case, who killed him is still unknown, and this case has already attracted the attention of the society, so we can't just give a reply like this."

"That detective can't do anything about it." Edogawa stuffed snacks into his mouth angrily.

Nakajima Atsushi heard half-knowledge: "Is the prisoner dead?"

"Yes," Kunikida pushed his glasses, with a complicated look on his face, "The body was shot seven times and died on the spot. There was no surveillance at the scene, and it is still unclear who did it."

"Hey, didn't anyone see it?"

"Yes, but the only victim is in a trance and cannot be questioned by the police for the time being."

Atsushi Nakajima recalled the case they took before, which is the most famous serial murder case in Yokohama recently. The victims were all women, and they all had traces of rape before they were killed, which attracted widespread attention from the society.

But because it all happened near the territory of the Mafia, some people said that the murderer was someone from within the Mafia...

Of course, this is already in the past tense. Now that the murderer is dead, there will probably be no more cases. Even ordinary citizens with a strong sense of justice will probably applaud the person who executed the murderer.

But for Kunikida, this case just gave birth to a new murderer, and they failed to prevent this tragedy from happening in time, which is not something to be happy about.

"Let's not talk about that," Kunikida took a deep breath, and looked at the clerk who was working in front of the computer, "How is the new request?"

"Well, it's still under investigation."

Atsushi Nakajima asked: "Is there another commission? Is there anything I need to do?"

"Not yet, this commission is a bit strange." Kunikida pushed his glasses.

"strangeness?"

"Well, the commission was sent from the Internet, and the commission fee was directly deposited into the detective agency's account, and the content of the commission...you can see for yourself."

Kunikida turned on the laptop screen, Nakajima Atsushi took a closer look, and unconsciously read out: "There is a strange noise coming from the sewer, the plumber is crazy, there seems to be a monster lurking underground..."

This is the niche news that has been occasionally reported on the Internet recently, the kind that has not been confirmed.

"There are often such urban legends, such as the huge crocodile in the sewers of the United States, the monster in Loch Ness." Naomi stuck out her tongue, "Recently there are rumors on the Internet that there are monsters in the sewers of Yokohama, maybe it is also this kind ?”

Kunikida Doppo frowned, and shook his head: "And it's so old, what you said has been proven to be false."

"I just said it casually." Naomi shrugged.

"Perhaps that mysterious client also wanted to find out the truth, so he commissioned our detective agency?" Atsushi Nakajima speculated.

Kunikida recalled the commission fee, and was a little speechless: "What a rich and idle man must be."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, did you go to the hospital just now? How is that gentleman now?" Kunikida asked after changing the subject, remembering something.

"Uh, the doctor said that his leg was broken and he needs to rest for a while." Having said that, Atsushi Nakajima scratched his head in embarrassment, "But that gentleman didn't mean to accuse me, I may need to take care of him these days, the detective agency Here..."

"It can't be helped, I will try to send you some simple tasks, take care of people first." Kunikida frowned slightly, and patted Atsushi Nakajima on the shoulder, "What a disaster."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Akutagawa to attack me suddenly." Atsushi Nakajima said with a bitter face, "Is he in a bad mood recently? He's like a powder keg. He suddenly attacked me on the street."

It's an unreasonable disaster to say that, Atsushi Nakajima just went out to run errands every day, who would have thought that he would encounter the explosive barrel of Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

"I'm not sure, but I heard that the mafia seems to have suffered a lot recently."

"Eh?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Kunikida said vaguely, he refused to continue, and Atsushi Nakajima was not easy to ask, he finished processing some documents in the detective agency.

It was almost afternoon, Nakajima Atsushi glanced at the clock, and greeted Kunikida, who was busy processing documents: "I'm leaving first."

"Okay, have a good trip." Kunikida didn't raise his head.

Atsushi Nakajima left the detective agency, thought for a while, bought a light diet that was more suitable for patients at a restaurant near the hospital, bought some fruits, and carried them to the ward.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Meguro."

When he came in, he happened to see Meguro Eluo sitting on the hospital bed, his eyes diverged slightly, as if he was wandering in the sky, and he seemed to be immersed in memories.

Atsushi Nakajima hesitated for a while, then raised his voice: "Mr. Meguro?"

"...Ah, it's you." Meguro Eluo came back to his senses.

Atsushi Nakajima put the porridge and fruit on the bedside table: "Is there anything else you need, I'll buy it together."

"No need, I'm sorry to waste your money." Meguro Eluo glanced at the things on the bedside table with a smile in his eyes, "I can smell the porridge, it must taste very good."

"Then try it." Nakajima Atsushi showed a big smile.

Meguro Eluo picked it up and took a sip. The sweetness and rice fragrance soaked into the taste buds. It really tasted good. After taking a few bites, he found Atsushi Nakajima staring at him and asked, "You don't eat."

"It's okay, I'll go back to eat."

"That's it." Meguro Eluo hesitated for a while, then put down the porridge, "Do you know any reliable detective agencies in Yokohama?"

Atsushi Nakajima frowned: "I know, I know, what's the matter with you?"

"Actually, I came to Yokohama to find someone, but I'm sure it's not convenient for me to run around like this, so I want to entrust it to a detective agency."

Upon hearing this, Atsushi Nakajima immediately said, "Then let me help you!"

"Eh?"

"Uh, I'm actually a member of the Armed Detective Agency. Our detective agency is quite famous in Yokohama. If you don't mind..."

"Of course I don't mind." Meguro Eluo interrupted Atsushi Nakajima's overly self-effacing words, "Then I will trouble you, I am not familiar with the place here, and I was still worried about what to do, it was a great help. "

"Well." Atsushi Nakajima heaved a sigh of relief, "Then the person you are looking for is..."

Meguro Eluo took out a photo from his arms and handed it to Atsushi Nakajima.

Atsushi Nakajima took the photo and glanced at it.

The background of the photo seems to be a somewhat retro office. Meguro Ero leaned against a blond man, showing a bright smile. The blond man had a handsome face, with sparkling green eyes. With one eye closed, with a cynical smile on his lips, he hugged Meheeluo's shoulder with a grin, and gestured a shooting gesture for the camera with the other hand.

There is a line on the photo:

19991102 Baker Detective Agency.

"The purpose of my coming to Yokohama is to find a friend," Meguro Era said slowly, "The place where he may appear in the end is this warehouse. But he may not be here now, please investigate if possible Around the warehouse, take pictures of some strange places."

"A strange place?"

"Yes, such as the claw marks left by some large creature, or maybe the weird marks left by humans... But if you feel something is wrong, please be sure to leave the scene quickly."

Hearing this, Nakajima Atsushi couldn't help but look up, as if to confirm that he was not joking, but all he saw was Meguro Ero's extremely serious expression.

"Even if there is only one thing that makes you feel inappropriate, disgusting or weird, remember to never go deep, it is best not to think about what it is, my commission is only to investigate the unusual traces there, only this That's all."

"I see……"
