Bandage fine tricks

When Jiuga Zhaoji walked out, I saw a black-haired girl sitting next to the lobby with a good view, eating brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

What, she just looks like an ordinary little girl... I looked at it for a while, then stretched out my hand to call for a waiter, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

Xiao Hachi and Dazai Osamu and later Oda Sakunosuke chatted and ate, most of the time Dazai Osamu was talking, Oda Sakunosuke responded, and Hachi next to him focused on eating small bites.Osamu Dazai chose a four-person table, a small round table that can accommodate about five or six people. Because the area is not large, there is no turntable or the like on it.

This means that in some cases, cats with slightly shorter arms cannot reach the dishes.

For example, when the dish she wants is at the other end of the table.

But when Xiaoba was thinking about eating only the food in front of her to avoid being rude, or standing up to pick up food regardless of her image, the brown sugar glutinous rice cake she was thinking of was put in front of her.

Xiaoba:! ! !

Dazai-san is a good guy!

"Don't send me a good person card in your heart!" The black-haired young man with kite eyes said with a smile as if he heard her heartfelt voice.

Xiao Ba: "...Oh."

When the meal here was about the same, it was the end of the meal time, and most of the guests started to get up to prepare to check out and leave.A customer who passed by their table who was going to check out was slightly stunned. He had already gone too far, and then turned back, confirming that it was not his hallucination just now: "I thought I made a mistake, really It's you, Dazai-kun and Oda-kun from the Armed Detective Agency." He looked around for a while, "I didn't see Mr. Edogawa, didn't he come to eat with you? Oh, Miss Ba is here too, really It's rare!" He noticed the girl sitting next to Osamu Dazai, and greeted him with a smile.

Xiao Ba raised his head in doubt, and when he saw the person's appearance clearly, he dug out the corresponding name of this face from his memory: "Are you...Mr. Yasui from the Yokohama Police Station?"

"Miss Ba still remembers me, what an honor!" The police officer, who looked about 40 or [-] years old, said with a smile.

"Xiao Hachi, do you know Mr. Yasui?" Osamu Dazai recalled it, and there was no memory of the two of them knowing each other. However, although Xiao Hachi and the Yokohama Police Station did not communicate much, there were still one or two chances. It was not surprising that we knew each other at that time.

"Well," Xiao Ba nodded, and said, "When I was with Mr. Ranpo, I met Mr. Yasui several times."

On the one hand, the other party is quite dependent on and trusts Mr. Ranpo's reasoning at work, but on the other hand, he takes care of Mr. Ranpo as a child. I recognized it after seeing it once or twice.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Yasui finally got to the point: "Excuse me, what is Mr. Ranpo busy with recently? I haven't seen that famous detective for a long time."

"Mr. Ranpo, I remember a request from Shikoku two days ago, so Mr. Ranpo went on a business trip again." Oda Sakunosuke raised his head and thought for a while, then said.

Different from the expression of reluctance to leave Yokohama but bluntly happy because he was trusted during the previous business trips, Mr. Detective is extraordinarily excited this time, probably because some high school student detectives from various places in Japan have been running around. , causing him to be less frequently asked for help by the police, and he will be unhappy if he is robbed of his exposure...

So this time when he received a job request that required him to travel, he was not as unhappy as usual...

"What's the matter? Is there anything that Mr. Ranpo can help you with?" Dazai Osamu was very keenly aware of what Mr. Yasui really wanted to say.

"...Yes, our police received a case recently..." Mr. Yasui blushed a little—embarrassed because he was seen through his thoughts, but he said it honestly, "You know that the Ion Councilor was arrested a while ago. Was it a shooting?"

"Is it the Ian MP who was shot and died during his speech?"

This does not require the additional intelligence network of the Armed Detective Agency. Anyone who pays attention to Yokohama and even the Japanese news will know that this incident happened not long ago when a congressman was shot in the center of Yokohama.

In order to gain votes in the upcoming election, the deceased was giving a speech on an open-air podium in downtown Yokohama when he was shot in the head by a sniper hiding nearby.The security guards around the deceased immediately noticed the direction of the sniper and called for support, and tried to chase the sniper, but there was still a considerable distance between them, and in the end they failed to catch up with the evacuated sniper, only to find The weapon he used to snipe the dead, and the half footprint accidentally left by the murderer in the building selected by the sniper.

Because this incident happened almost in front of the public and caused great social impact, the Metropolitan Police Department was required to set up a special task force to take charge of this case, so as to solve it as soon as possible.

Normally, this time should be the time when the Japanese police shine, but the problem is that the background board of this world has always been ignored by people, but in fact there is a real background setting of the elementary school students of death.

In the world view setting of this work, the Japanese police is a professional team that needs high school students to rescue. All Japanese newspapers will report a high school student detective who is the savior of the Japanese police, because the police are too useless to solve the case...

Therefore, it is very obvious that without the intervention of high school student detectives, the progress bar of the investigation quickly got stuck.

"The city center of Yokohama..." Xiaoba carefully recalled the situation in the city center of Yokohama, took out his mobile phone and found the report about the shooting incident of the congressman, from which he found the location of the incident, "Is it the square with many tall buildings?" ?”

Mr. Yasui nodded: "Yes, that's there." When he mentioned this, he felt a bitter taste on the back of his tongue, "Our main detection direction now is the half-footprint left in the building selected by the plotter. And the origin of the gun he used, but in this regard... you also know that because of the existence of the port mafia in Yokohama, it is quite difficult to trace this aspect."

It is not an easy task to find the origin of the gun from the black market, and thus lock its buyer or murderer.

"Is that so..." Xiao Ba thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yasui, you just said that the moment the deceased was shot, his security guards found the location of the sniper and chased after him?"

"Yeah, they almost caught the murderer on the spot... Sigh..." If the murderer was caught on the spot, there wouldn't be so much trouble now.

It's a pity, if it's just an if after all, the fact is that they failed to catch the murderer at that time, and now they are still trying to track down the whereabouts of the murderer.

"Is there no direction for detection now?" Oda Sakunosuke asked.

"All investigations have reached a dead end. If there is no progress recently, and Mr. Ranpo doesn't come back to take over the work, we may need to ask Tokyo for help-but if we can, we still don't want to Come to this point.” Mr. Yasui is very resistant to the option of asking Tokyo for help, because it is almost a confession of their incompetence.

Although in some respects this is true.

However, people need face to live...

By the way, it's not that Mr. Yasui despises the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but he really thinks that if the case is handed over to Tokyo and both sides assist in the detection, it is very likely that the other party's choice is to ask for help from the recently popular High school student detective Kudo Shinichi——Since there are underage private detectives asking for help, there is one in front of him now, why not ask her for help?

Although the media still don't know her true identity, the well-known detective Xiaoba is here, and even Mr. Ranpo admits her reasoning ability!

Xiaoba: "..."

Xiao Ba propped his forehead in distress: "How did the reputation of seeing a ghost spread? I even asked Police Officer Mumu to erase my name..."

She has asked the Megure Police Department not to blame her, and she has been very busy recently, and various things have happened one after another. It has been a long time since she went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to help. Why does someone still remember her? Woolen cloth?

Can you pay more attention to the new senior?

That one is a real high school student detective!

She's just an ordinary middle school student...

But looking at Mr. Yasui's expectant eyes, Xiao Ba couldn't say these words: "...If Mr. Yasui really doesn't have any clue, why not try to restore the scene."

"Huh?" Mr. Yasui was taken aback for a moment.

Restore the site?

"Well, restore the scene." Xiao Ba affirmed this sentence, "From the dead man's speech to the bodyguard chasing the sniper, if you reproduce it all again, you will know who the real murderer is."

While talking, Mr. Dazai, who went to pay the bill, has already returned, holding a receipt in his hand: "Xiao Ba, come and fill in this impression—the satisfaction survey of the restaurant."

"Okay." Xiao Ba took the receipt, and immediately forgot what he was talking about just now.

Leaving Mr. Yasui to think hard about what the detective lady meant, can the murderer be known by restoring the scene?
