Chapter 32 The Detective and the Coffin

Edogawa Ranpo looked at the person coming, and instantly relaxed a lot.

Leaving aside the purpose of coming here, at least he won't have to worry about making a living in the days to come.

"Edogawa Ranpo." Fujimaruhara recognized his identity the first time he saw the 'girl'. After all, the combination of the silver wolf and the famous detective was famous for a while, so he naturally knew it, even the young man. The intelligence beyond ordinary people has also been faced directly.

At the very beginning, he had always heard that Ranpo Edogawa was a famous detective with powerful supernatural powers. At first he thought that the juvenile's deduction power was nothing more than supernatural powers, but it was only after seeing the young man that he realized how ridiculous this rumor was.

The young man is a genius, an out-and-out genius. He never possessed the power fluctuations of a supernatural being, but his extraordinary intelligence alone can surpass all the 'supernatural powers'.

But that's it. Although he was a little surprised, Edogawa Ranpo's performance still didn't surprise him.

There are too many people in his family who can reach the realm of a young detective, not to mention that he has lived under the shadow of heroes who have far surpassed his youth since he was a child. The boy's threat to him was extremely limited.

But the young man had a good appearance, black hair and green eyes always reminded him of his own two.

The most important point is that the young man is his important bargaining power, and he will not let the young man fend for himself regardless of the situation or reason.

"What are you asking Mr. Ranbu to do? I won't keep a secret for you!"

The appearance of the young man baring its teeth and claws is no different from that of a kitten baring its deciduous teeth and threatening. To Fujimaru Haraichi, there is no threat at all, and it is even a little funny to look at.

"I don't mind as long as I don't tell anyone outside the Armed Detective Agency."

At this time, Neji should have already negotiated a cooperation. Although Fukuzawa Yukichi believed that the man would definitely keep his promise, he still took some precautions to avoid accidents.

"The stars haven't set yet, you still have to strike a match."

Fujimaruhara raised his head and glanced at the sky, the stars twinkled in the night sky, each hanging in their original position without any trace of wanting to fall.

"this is for you."

A small metal talisman engraved with strange words was put into the girl's hand by the young man.

The moment the talisman was picked up, the coldness instantly disappeared from his body.

"I'll come find you after it's over."

Fujimaruhara didn't stop, turned and left.

The girl was the only one left in the cold alley. Looking at the match in his arms, he felt numb in his hands and feet.

Sparks flickered in the alley, only a girl kept striking a match, from the darkness of the night to the whiteness of the sky.

Christmas Eve is over.

Fujimaruhara stood at the door of the small restaurant and packed a few snacks and bread.

He doesn't know how to cook. If he was really allowed to cook, that little detective would probably be left here today.

In order to be able to travel as planned, he still decided not to persecute the detective.

Christmas is over, and there are more pedestrians on the street.

The young man received food from the owner of the restaurant, and just as he walked out the door, he heard pedestrians talking about it.

"Hey, have you heard that a little girl was found frozen to death at the door of xx's house, and I heard that when she died, she dropped a field of matches by her side."

"Oh! This is so pitiful. What about the girl's body? Can't it be left there forever?"

"I heard that it has been restrained, and it will probably be transported to a cemetery outside the city to be buried."

The pedestrian walked further and further away, thinking of the meteor that fell last night.

Fujimaru was sure that the boy had managed to get through the story.

But with his current body, the little detective probably couldn't get out of the coffin by himself.

Just as Fujimaruhara thought, Edogawa Ranpo is now lying in a thin coffin. At the beginning, he was only going to proceed until the 'corpse' was discovered.

Because as long as the death of the "little match girl" is deeply engraved in people's consciousness, the story will be considered as a successful conclusion.

Although the mysterious disappearance of the girl's body will have a negligible impact, but the things that only he can do are limited and he can't do anything about it. The arrival of Fujimaru Haraichi just made up for this shortcoming.

Edogawa Ranpo lay obediently in the coffin, counting the seconds and calculating when the man would come.

In the closed, narrow and dark space, Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes and looked at the darkness in front of him, shaking his body up and down very uncomfortable.

“119、120、121······564、565、566、56——”

After the last number, the shaking under his body stopped, and there was a violent shaking. The young man felt that his coffin was lifted up and put aside.

There was the sound of soil being dug around.

"Haven't you come yet? This uncle is too unreliable."

The speed of the workers was very fast, and the pit was dug almost in a short while.

The coffin containing a seven or eight-year-old girl is limited in size, and even one person can lift it up.

There was another sway, and Edogawa Ranpo's coffin changed to another place again, this time he smelled the smell of soil.

No, that uncle really forgot about him.

Ranpo Edogawa could clearly hear the sound of soil being sprinkled on the coffin.

Suddenly, there was a burst of heat in his arms, before the delicate and frail little detective could react.

With a flash of light, the person in the coffin disappeared.

The person who buried the coffin stopped suddenly, and his companion looked at him puzzled.

"What's wrong? Why did it stop?"

The man scratched his head and replied hesitantly, "There seems to be light in the coffin."

"Light? Is it because you're blind, there's nothing there?"

This person looked again and there was indeed nothing, probably because he was wrong, the two of them stopped talking and hurriedly buried the coffin.

No one noticed that the little girl in the coffin had long since disappeared.

On the other side, on a big tree outside the city, Fujimaru Haraichi suddenly reached out and caught the imp who fell from the sky.

Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes and saw dead branches covered in layers of ice and snow, and his neck was hurting from being tightly grasped by his collar.

If Edogawa Ranpo could see his own appearance, he would be able to find that he is now a kitten caught by the back of the neck, unable to turn his head, but this state did not last for a long time before being caught placed on the tree trunk.

"Uncle, you came too late."

"Uncle? Although I am older than you, I should not be an uncle yet."

Fujimaruhara is just talking about the matter. He is only 21 years old and he is in his prime. Anyway, he should not be called uncle, but brother.

"He's obviously an uncle." Edogawa Ranbu didn't care, "Does the uncle have anything to eat? I'm so hungry."

Fujimaruhara suddenly realized why this child has nothing to do with himself, what a wonderful child, it's a pity that he has a mouth.

"Eat later, go to the tent to wash and change clothes"

Fujimaruhara jumped down from the tree with the young man. The young man thought for a while and stuffed the prepared clothes back, and handed the young man another piece of clothes that felt thicker to the touch. He swore that he definitely changed his clothes because he was worried about the young man. Not trying to tease the boy.

"Change on, your clothes are too torn and you will get sick."

Fujimaruhara handed over the clothes.

Ranpo Edogawa reached out to take the clothes, and the whole picture of the clothes was displayed in front of the boy's eyes. Ranpo Edogawa looked at Fujimaru Haraichi angrily.

The narrow-minded uncle, didn't he just call me uncle a few times, and let me wear girls' clothes.

Even though the boy was dissatisfied, he still obediently prepared to change into his clothes.

There is hot water in the tent, and there is food on the simple table. It looks like it has been prepared early.

Edogawa pouted indiscriminately, took off his old clothes and put on new ones.

Although it is still a skirt, the new clothes are extremely thick and warm, and the cut is very good so that it does not hinder movement.The best thing is that the calfskin shoes under his feet are waterproof and cold-proof, which are extremely comfortable, and the frostbite is not so uncomfortable.

If there is a mirror now, Edogawa Ranpo will be able to see what he looks like now.The young girl with black hair and green eyes was wearing a fur skirt with a big bow behind her.The white rabbit fur protrudes around the neck, and the fluffy collar lining makes the girl even more cute.

"Is it replaced?"

"All right!"

The voice fell, the young man walked into the tent, Fujimaruhara looked at the 'girl' in front of him, even if Fukuzawa Yukichi stood in front of Edogawa Ranpo, it was difficult to recognize that this cute girl was his family's Ranpo.

"Eat quickly, we have to hurry after eating." Fujimaruhara packed up the odds and ends, and prepared to leave as soon as the young man finished eating.

"Oh! It will be uncomfortable to rush the time so fast."

"My lover is still waiting for me, if you don't want to follow, you can stay here."

Edogawa looked at Fujimaru Haraichi who didn't want to get into the oil and salt, this person was completely different from the president, the president was a good guy with a cold face, but he was a big villain with a cold face .

Under the eaves, people had to bow their heads and gnaw on bread, only sweet bread could give him some comfort.

Just as Edogawa Ranpo finished eating the bread in his hand, Fujimaruhara had already prepared the means of transportation.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at some strange vehicles. It seemed that they were going to travel in this vehicle that looked like a carriage and a sled.

Sitting in the car of Fujimaru Haraichi, Ranpo Edogawa suddenly remembered the story of Santa Claus told by his mother in childhood. A flying elk pulled a sleigh and fell from the sky to present Christmas gifts to obedient children.

When he was two or three years old, he really believed that there were flying elk and sleighs in the world, but until he was four years old, he discovered that Santa Claus was actually his father. Since then, he no longer believed in Santa Claus and Santa Claus. The flying elk is real.

As a good son who loves his idiot father, he has never taken the initiative to dismantle it. Although his father has learned the truth from his son's extremely poor acting skills, he is still pleased with his son's caring.

So much so that this kind of Santa Claus game has not stopped until he was 12 years old, and if it wasn't for a sudden car accident, it would probably continue.

Now he is really sitting on a flying 'sleigh', Edogawa Ranpo has carefully looked at the car several times without seeing a trace of high-tech existence.

Eliminate all impossible answers and the remaining answer is the truth.

This is magic.

Even without super reasoning, he can deduce it.

Edogawa looked at the young man randomly, this person was too mysterious, and the information on him was very contradictory.

The young man had a lot of family members, even outrageously many. In just half a day, he had found traces of more than three people on the young man, but it seemed that it was far more than that.

Even Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help wondering how many people there were in Fujimaruhara's family.

"Where are we going next?"

Edogawa walked in a random direction, so naturally he didn't know where they were heading now.

"Going to the east, I got some information. There should be a story going on in the small country in the east. If there is no accident, there is a high probability that my lover is there."

What Fujimaruhara wanted to hear once was that the lifelong wish of a prince from a small border country was to ask to marry a real princess, but it had been unsuccessful for many years until their prince finally found the love of his life some time ago.

The whole country celebrates and prepares for the prince's wedding.

Fujimaruhara pursed his lips, leaving aside the stories that have fallen, the stories that have been completed, and the stories that have not yet started, in fact, the only stories that are still going on are "Thumbelina", "Princess and the Pea" and "Wild Swan". three worlds.

Thumbelina has already found out that there is no trace of Shier at all. The little match girl has only one main character. Now the only things he can look for are "Princess and the Pea" and "Wild Swan", but his intuition tells him that Shir It will definitely be in the story line of "Princess and the Pea".

But thinking about the characters in The Princess and the Pea, Fujimaruhara always feels angry.

There are only four main characters, the king and his wife, the prince and the princess.No matter who Shi Er becomes, it is not a very happy result.

The most important thing now is to get there before the wedding, otherwise if Shier is really the 'protagonist' of the wedding——

He's probably going green.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at Fujimaruhara's gloomy face. Although he could deduce what happened, his intuition told him not to provoke Fujimaruhara, otherwise his end would be miserable.

The instinct of the little animal drove Luanbu away from Fujimaru Haraichi, shivering and huddled in the corner, praying to get to the destination soon.
