The right way to polish a diamond

Kudo Shinichi stared blankly at Osamu Dazai, who invited women to die in love. He was completely different from the reliable Osamu Dazai he knew before, who was so smart that Mr. Akai and Mr. Furutani feared.

He hesitated and said, "Dazai... sir?"

Dazai Osamu, who was interrupted by Kudo Shinichi, looked over in disinterest, stirring the coffee in front of him, "Long time no see, Kudo-kun, how did you find this place?"

Kudo Shin subconsciously looked at the kind-hearted man who brought him over, "I'm asking for directions..."

Then he saw the white-haired boy who kindly took him all the way downstairs to the Armed Detective Agency complained in a helpless tone that he was used to: "Mr. Dazai, don't always invite others to die in love. Mr. Kunikida is going to be angry again!"

Osamu Dazai said indifferently, "Well, Kunikida-kun is always angry anyway."

Atsushi Nakajima complained: "... Who is to blame then?!" Mr. Kunikida always loses his temper because Mr. Dazai is not angry!

Osamu Dazai put on an expression of 'I didn't hear anything', and asked nonchalantly, "Atsu-kun's training is over this time? It looks very fruitful."

"Yes." Atsushi Nakajima showed a shy smile, "Mr. Dazai, I already have some ideas."

After pointing them out, Zhongyuan Zhong also thoughtfully gave the two young people time to think, and left first.

Atsushi Nakajima and Ryunosuke Akutagawa stood in the warehouse shrouded in the setting sun.The red sunlight hit the two people standing side by side, pulling out two long and narrow black shadows, which gradually overlapped in the distance.

"Akutagawa," Atsushi Nakajima said suddenly, "When you were dealing with that man who was the house rat, why did you give me your coat? If I lost..."

"Hmph!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke interrupted Atsushi Nakajima with a cold snort, "Rento, you are always so stupid and underestimate yourself. Your ability is very clear to me."

It's stupid to always think that you can't do it even though you have great strength.

"Actually," Nakajima Atsushi said with complicated eyes and a slight smile on his face, "When I put on your coat, I had a premonition that we would win."

That was the first time he was so confident in the outcome of the battle.

"That's natural." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said as a matter of course, "I reluctantly lent you the coat just to win."

Atsushi Nakajima said lightly: "I think so too, probably only your desire for victory can surpass your disgust for me."

If he didn't believe that he would win, how could Akutagawa put his life in his hands?

So, they will win.

This is the most important thing between partners... trust, believe in the other party's ability, trust in the other party's judgment, and believe that the other party will not let you down.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke snorted, "Did you realize this? You stupid man!"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke has seen the "Double Blacks" who made the world frightened. Although he has never had a partner, he knows what the best partner looks like.

However, they are also different.He and Renhu will not and cannot be replicas of Mr. Dazai and Mr. Nakahara—Shuanghei is a unique and unrepeatable miracle.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stared at Atsushi Nakajima, his eyes were rarely murderous, but his attitude was more serious than ever, "Rento, I will not show mercy in the agreed battle."

After speaking, Akutagawa Ryunosuke turned and left.

"Me too." Atsushi Nakajima stared at Akutagawa Ryunosuke's back and promised loudly, "When the time comes, Akutagawa, I will show you my belief!"

Atsushi Nakajima's eyes shone with determination, "Mr. Dazai, Akutagawa and I, we will not disappoint the expectations of you and Mr. Nakaya!"

Osamu Dazai looked at Atsushi Nakajima's expression, and his kite-colored eyes showed some relief, and said softly, "Then go ahead, Atsushi."

Kudo Shinichi, who was on the sidelines, blinked his eyes, feeling that Osamu Dazai was back again, but... there was still something different.

After expressing his feelings, Atsushi Nakajima finally realized that someone else was there.He looked at Kudo Shinichi, "Mr. Dazai, this Kudo-kun is looking for the Armed Detective Agency, because it happened to be on the way, so I..."

Speaking of this, Nakajima Atsushi thought of Kudo Shinichi and Dazai Osamu just now saying hello, "Ah, is this someone Mr. Dazai knows?"

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "Well, that's right." He looked at Kudo Shinichi, as if he was looking at a small animal that threw itself into a trap.

But before the other party found out about this, Osamu Dazai hid this look properly, and asked kindly: "What's the matter, Mr. Kudo and Mr. Akai?"

The two uninvited people were keenly aware of a little subtle hostility.

Kudo Shinichi used the acting skills he honed during his time as Edogawa Conan, and said openly: "We are here to play in Yokohama, and we just came to visit Mr. Dazai."

It's true to come to play. At first, Kudo Shinichi was thinking of some reason to come to Yokohama in a logical way, and then Mao Lilan got a free ticket for Wonderland.

——Yes, it was the fantasy park in Yokohama that almost blew them up to the sky because of an ID with a bomb hidden on the super giant snake.

But Mao Lilan didn't know about it. For her, that day was a good memory of playing with her friends, so when she got a free lottery ticket, she was happy to relive it with her friends.

In addition to Mori Ran and Kudo Shinichi, those who came to Yokohama this time also included Suzuki Sonoko, Sera Masumi, and Sera Masumi's older brother Shuichi Akai who was lost because of being dumped.

When Kudo Shinichi heard the reason Akai Hideichi asked for for the first time, the corners of his mouth and forehead were twitching.

Although Miyano Akemi who came back did not intend to continue her relationship with Akai Hideichi, she even regretted that the last email was for Akai Hideichi to protect Miyano Shiho.

But the lovelorn setting is really not suitable for you at all, Mr. Akai!

But the advantage of this character design is that Akai Hideichi kept a cold face throughout the whole process, and no one suspected that there was something wrong.

Even Kudo Shinichi's temporary departure from the team was under the banner of accompanying Shuichi Akai who didn't want to stay in the amusement park any longer.

Mao Lilan let go very understandingly.

Later, the girls made up their minds about "Sweet memories of love that Hideichi Akai recalled in the amusement park" was not within the expected range of Shinichi Kudo.

Sera Masumi, who listened to Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko gossip about her elder brother, not only couldn't refute, but also had to cover for the other two.

In the end, she herself began to wonder if her elder brother really had any sweet past in this place.

Akai Shuichi covered his nose and sneezed.

Kudo Shinichi continued: "Mr. Dazai's reasoning ability is very strong. I want to see what kind of place the armed detective agency where Mr. Dazai works is."

"Come to visit the Armed Detective Agency?" Osamu Dazai said lightly, "It's just right, Atsushi-kun, please help me to receive them, I have something to go before I leave."

"Wait, Mr. Dazai!" Atsushi Nakajima's outstretched hand was nimbly hidden by Osamu Dazai.

Looking at Atsushi Nakajima who was ruthlessly ignored, Shinichi Kudo showed an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"Then..." Atsushi Nakajima sighed, and he was basically used to the way Dazai would throw all the work he didn't want to do to him—since Osamu Dazai rarely had any work that he wanted to do, Atsushi Nakajima really didn't want to do it. I'm used to it.

"I'll take you to see Mr. Kunikida first." If you want to visit the Armed Detective Agency, you must first obtain Mr. Kunikida's consent.

Atsushi Nakajima thought so, and took Kudo Shinichi and Akai Shuichi upstairs.

Pushing open the door with the nameplate of the Armed Detective Agency, Atsushi Nakajima said, "I'm back, Mr. Kunikida."

"Atsushi, you're back, where's Dazai?" Kunikida Doppo raised his head, and immediately began to look for the figure of a habitual offender who skipped work, "Where did that bastard go?!"

Atsushi Nakajima felt guilty as if he was the one who skipped work, and said breathlessly: "Mr. Dazai said he has something to do..."

Kunikida Doppo became irritable, "What can he do?! Did he go into the water again?!"

Atsushi Nakajima cleared his throat loudly, trying to cover Kunikida Doppo with his own voice, "Mr. Kunikida, we have guests."

Kudo Shinichi:  …

Did he hear something wrong just now?Into the water?

The second half of Kunikida Doppo's words choked in his throat, he coughed twice, saw Kudo Shinichi and Akai Shuichi standing behind Atsushi Nakajima, and said seriously: "Hi, may I ask if you can contact the Armed Detective Agency?" What's the matter?"

Kudo Shinichi suspects that he should come here at another time, this armed detective agency is completely different from what he imagined!

He said: "I am also a detective. Because I saw Mr. Dazai's reasoning ability before, I became interested in the Armed Detective Agency."

At this moment, Edogawa Ranpo said, "Kyoka, help the famous detective get a glass bead."

Quan Jinghua took out the dagger from her arms, a cold light flashed, and the glass bottle was completely divided into two halves.

Akai Hideichi narrowed those dark green pupils indiscriminately.

Izumi Kyoka took out the glass beads and handed them to Edogawa Ranpo, "Okay, Mr. Ranpo."

"Mr. Ranpo?!" Kudo Shinichi suddenly turned his head to look at Edogawa Ranpo, the speed was so fast that one wondered if his neck would be broken.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Edogawa Ranpo, "Are you that...Mr. Edogawa Ranpo?!"

Edogawa Ranpo took the glass beads that Izumi Kyoka handed him, and casually glanced at Kudo Shinichi, "Oh, have you read the novel written by the famous detective? You are a book fan."

The information about Edogawa Ranpo was well protected by President Fukuzawa, and the police in Yokohama knew that there was such a famous detective in the Armed Detective Agency.

Outsiders only know that the Armed Detective Agency is very powerful, but they don't know the name of that powerful detective.

"Fiction?" Atsushi Nakajima asked in surprise, "Has Mr. Ranpo ever written a novel?"

Edogawa Ranpo said in a non-remarkable tone: "It was after the contest with Po-kun that the famous detective wanted to try what it was like to write a novel, so he wrote a few books."

Kudo Shinichi became excited visibly with the naked eye, and the light in his eyes reminded Atsushi Nakajima of Ryunosuke Akutagawa at certain moments, "Mr. Ranpo, I have read all your published novels!"

Afterwards, Kudo Shinichi made eloquent discussion and analysis on the content of Edogawa Ranpo's novels, and expressed his reading feelings.

Unfortunately, when Kudo Shinichi wanted to communicate more deeply with his favorite writer, he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.The two had been out of the team for too long, and Mao Lilan called to ask when they would come back for dinner.

Kudo Shinichi glanced at Edogawa Ranpo reluctantly, said goodbye to the other party, and made an appointment with Edogawa Ranpo, who has greatly increased his affection for his fans, to come over next time.

Atsushi Nakajima, who brought the two up, sent the two downstairs again.

Kudo Shinichi looked at the dinner address sent by Mourilan, and asked Atsushi Nakajima, "Excuse me, Nakajima-kun, do you know how to get to Chinatown?"

"Are you going to Chinatown?" Atsushi Nakajima blinked and said friendly, "Chinatown is not far from here, we can go together."

"This is too much trouble for you." Kudo Shinichi said.

Atsushi Nakajima said: "I'm just going to buy something over there." To buy soup tofu for Xiao Jinghua.

Kudo Shinichi and Nakajima Atsushi chatted and walked towards Chinatown. The content of the chat was naturally their common acquaintance Dazai Osamu and Kudo Shinichi's idol Edogawa Ranpo.

Fortunately, Kudo Shinichi has not forgotten their real purpose of coming to Yokohama.

He easily shifted the topic to Osamu Dazai, and talked about Nakahara Chuya, who was inseparable from Osamu Dazai in Tokyo, and then asked casually: "Mr. Nakajima, do you know where Mori's company is? Since I will stay in Yokohama for a few more days, and I would like to pay a visit to Mr. Nakahara."

Atsushi Nakajima repeated blankly, "Mori's Company?" He thought of Nakahara Nakaya before he realized, "Are you talking about the place where Mr. Nakaya works?"

Atsushi Nakajima pointed at Kudo Shin nodding, "That's right there."

Kudo Shinichi and Akai Hideichi looked in the direction of his fingers. Five black buildings stood in the center of Yokohama, showing an unparalleled sense of presence.

Kudo Shinichi:  …

Kudo Shinichi and Akai Hideo looked at each other, what should I say?It looks majestic and spectacular, but it just doesn't look like a serious company.

"However, it would be better for you to tell Mr. Nakaya before you go." Atsushi Nakajima kindly reminded, "No one should be allowed to approach casually there."
