The right way to polish a diamond

Osamu Dazai said exactly the same as Nakahara Chu.

"...Sorry." Kudo Shinichi said a little embarrassedly, "It's my preconceived idea."

You speak so directly!

Akai Shuichi and Sera Masumi, who had never heard Nakahara Nakaya say this, looked at Osamu Dazai. Generally speaking, aren't Japanese people very reserved?

Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses, and interrupted, "Nakahara is our client."

The Central Plains also said the same.

Kudo Shin nodded, and did not raise any objections to Nakahara Chuya's identity. No one required the detective's client to be innocent.

In fact, there are many detectives who only look at money and not people when they accept commissions. Although Kudo Shinichi will not do this, it does not mean that he will ruin other people's jobs.

But Osamu Dazai said they were partners...was he lying or describing their state at the time, or...informant?

Although the two of them said they were not friends, they seemed to have a good personal relationship. Does the other members of the Armed Detective Agency know about this?

The door of the Armed Detective Agency was pushed open again, and a black head poked in cautiously.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was chatting with Kudo Shinichi and the others, his eyes lit up, and he waved towards the door, "Slope-kun, you are here."

That head shrank subconsciously, and then looked in the direction of Edogawa Ranpo, revealing the lower half of his face with beautiful lines, "Ranpo-san..."

Edogawa greeted Luanbu: "Come here, Mr. Po, we are talking about your novel."

The visitor showed some surprise, "Ranbu-san, are you commenting on my novel with others?"

When Ranpo Edogawa said 'your novel', the detectives all focused their attention on the person who came, "You are Mr. Edgar Allan Poe?!"

Edgar Allan Poe lowered his sense of existence and walked to the side of Edogawa Ranpo, hugged the novel in his arms tightly, lowered his head slightly so that his long bangs covered half of his face, and said weakly: "Hi, hello."

Shuichi Akai finally knows why the famous detective novelist has remained a mystery and never held a book signing.

Social anxiety?

In Europe and America, Edgar Allan Poe is much more famous than Edogawa Rampo.Both Akai Shuichi and Sera Masumi have read his masterpieces, and Kudo Shinichi is no exception.

They were talking about Edgar Allan Poe's novels just now, but they didn't expect to see the author himself while talking.

An FBI, a novelist, and three detectives chat happily.

Two are from the United States, two are native Japanese detectives, and one has just returned from studying in the UK. The topics revolve around cases, clues, motives, and reasoning. It is a level of complexity that can make other people in the Armed Detective Agency drowsy .

Kunikida Doppo and Miyazawa Kenji had already gone out to work, Tanizaki Junichiro looked at the few people chatting enthusiastically, and said to others: "It's rare to see Mr. Ranpo so excited."

Atsushi Nakajima looked over there with golden purple eyes, "Are those three guests all detectives?" Because of Edogawa Ranpo, he had considerable respect for this profession.

Osamu Dazai spoke lazily, "I guessed wrong, Atsushi-kun, one of them is the FBI."

"Oh, FBI." Atsushi Nakajima nodded, and then, "FBI?!"

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the three people, and asked hesitantly, "Is that the gentleman with black hair and green eyes?" The age gap between Shuichi Akai and the other two was obvious.

Osamu Dazai teased in a gentle voice with a smile on his face: "Don't be so surprised, Atsu-kun."

Atsushi Nakajima said with emotion: "I've only seen the FBI on TV before, it's like an urban legend has become a reality."

Tanizaki Junichiro suppressed a smile and reminded: "Atsushi, you are the urban legend." The famous man-eating tiger!

Thinking of the misunderstanding caused when he couldn't control the ability, Atsushi Nakajima rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly.

"Mr. Edgar Allan Poe's name is very popular in the United States," said Akai Shuichi. "Have you been collecting music in Japan recently? I wonder if you have the honor to read your new work?"

"No." Edogawa Ranpo refused, "I am the only one who can read Poe's novel until it is finished."

Edogawa Ranpo refused too simply and neatly, as if the protagonist in Akai Shuichi's words just now was himself.

Poe blinked behind his bangs, and replied in a low voice: "I, I know."

Edogawa Ranpo nodded in satisfaction, "By the way, Poe, where's Karl?"

Edgar Allan Poe said, "Karl it..."

There was a knock on the door of the Armed Detective Agency, and a red-haired girl came in with a raccoon in her arms, "Mr. Poe, I brought Carl up."

Atsushi Nakajima blurted out, "Lucy!"

Lucy glanced at Atsushi Nakajima, hummed softly, and walked over to return Carl to Poe.Along with her were Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko. They had just teased the raccoon with Lucy, and now they came up to thank the owner together.

"Sir, your pet is very cute." Sonoko Suzuki looked at Poe with bright eyes. The owner of the pet is also very cute. The shy handsome guy is very cute!

Seen by Suzuki Sonoko's scorching gaze, Poe rubbed against Edogawa Ranpo, and covered his face with Carl, "...Thank you for the compliment, miss."

Mao Lilan looked at the uncomfortable Poe and tugged Suzuki Sonoko's sleeve lightly. Suzuki Sonoko looked away, looked at Edogawa Ranpo, and praised: "Mr. Edogawa is so young!"

Edogawa Rampo said: "The famous detective is 26 years old."

"Eh?!" Suzuki Sonoko said in surprise, "I can't tell at all!"

On the other side, after Lucy returned Carl to Poe, she approached Osamu Dazai, "Mr. Dazai, when are you going to pay the bill you owe?"

Osamu Dazai blinked, "Um..."

Lucy put her hands on her hips, "It's useless to change the subject by dying for love, I came here with everyone's expectations on my back!"

"This is the waitress downstairs?" Kudo Shinichi suddenly realized when he heard the other party say that he used the sacrifice of love to change the subject, "Is this the reason why I saw Mr. Dazai invite that lady to die of love last time? I was shocked a lot." jumping."

In order to avoid the aggressive Lucy, Atsushi Nakajima ran over here quietly and smiled dryly.

Mao Lilan blinked those purple eyes in confusion, "Mr. Dazai... invite others to die in love?"

Sonoko Suzuki rubbed his chin and said seriously, "If it's an invitation from a handsome guy like Mr. Dazai, it's really hard to refuse."

Nakajima Atsushi Hitomiquake: No, no, no, you must not agree!I always feel that Mr. Dazai can do such a thing as taking people into the water after receiving an agreed answer!

Mao Lilan laughed, "Sonoko, Mr. Dazai must be joking, but it's better not to make such jokes."

That's why Osamu Dazai would not propose this kind of invitation to Mao Lilan. The other party looked like the kind of girl who would take it seriously.

Osamu Dazai seems to be out of tune, but actually has a very strong sense of propriety, and he will not provoke someone who is troublesome to deal with.

As for Mao Lilan, when he heard the invitation to die for love, he would seriously want to help him dispel this idea.Osamu Dazai sent Lucy away, thinking idly.

"Meet you again, Ms. Lan and Ms. Sonoko." Osamu Dazai smiled and greeted the two of them.

The two returned the gift.

Osamu Dazai smiled and asked, "Are you two satisfied with the swirl coffee?"

Mao Lilan nodded, "The coffee is delicious."

"Mr. Dazai's recommendation is really great!" Sonoko Suzuki also nodded, "It's a pity that Mr. Amuro is not here."

"It's a pity." Osamu Dazai said, "Mr. Amuro's craftsmanship is very good."

After Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko came up, the Armed Detective Agency became more lively.But neither of the two girls was interested in reasoning, so after a short stay, Kudo Shinichi and his party left on the grounds that they would not disturb everyone's work.

After the group left, Poe asked Edogawa Ranpo in a low voice, "Ranpo-san, that FBI, is he here to find Mr. Fitzgerald?"

In the black building in the distance, Nakahara Zhongya was sitting in his office working on reports.

The inheritance of the black organization is not limited to Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia... It is not easy to eat this huge organization with a long history.

Fortunately, the Central Plains has just suppressed the small wars in the West and not long after returning, the port Mafia is still there, and the rest of the forces are as quiet as chickens.
