If I don't quit, I will be forced to usurp the throne.

I feel like I'm about to cry.

"I just put a knife against your neck and cut a little bit of skin, and then played a prank on Mr. Yukichi a few times! Mr. Ranpo, you are going too far! Let me tell you that you are like this The son will make the detective [company lose me as an ally!"

[Hey - anyway, you can't help Hong Kong gangsters, right? 】

"...I do it alone!" I said in grief and indignation.

Edogawa Ranpo obviously didn't take my threat to heart, as the sound of eating snacks from the other side can reflect it.

[I thought you would be happy because the other party was jealous. 】

"...Wait, Mr. Ranpo, are you eating potato chips?" Although I used to do it in the confessional, why do other people feel so bad when they do it... Is this intentional?Did Mr. Ranpo know my previous virtues, so he deliberately restrained me like this?My tone was suspicious, "Why do you understand so well?"

This doesn't fit your personality under the age of six!

【Miss Tanizaki and Naomi have always been like this, so I can understand it with a little brainstorming. 】

"...Ah." I suddenly wondered, are they the true orthopedic brother and sister from the detective agency... Wait!Not right!I think I need to remind Mr. Ranpo of Mr. Ranpo's education with Mr. Yukichi after the matter is over.

"But——I don't want him to be jealous! Although it makes me happy to say that he is jealous to prove that he cares about me, but making my lover jealous is disqualifying me as a lover! Thinking about it in another way, I will not only be jealous Killing people will be super uncomfortable! If I make him uncomfortable, I will feel even more uncomfortable, so I don’t want to be so happy!” I yelled in one breath, and said indignantly, “If Mr. Ranpo, Mr. Chuya If you misunderstand, I will never let you go!"

snort!At that time, I will take the name of my child bride-in-law!mad at you!

... Hey, isn't the way of revenge a bit wrong... Never mind!This is an operation that can guarantee to anger the opponent!

【ha--?What kind of lover are you?So are you going to side with that vixen? 】

"...Ah, Akiko." My previous angry attitude suddenly put away, and my attitude instantly became calm, "Akiko, what are you talking about, you are married to Chiaki Rokujo, what does it have to do with me Furutani Chisaki What? Look, we have different surnames."

【... Your thick skin is getting more and more amazing. 】

My eyes wandered: "Akiko, I don't understand what you are saying."

But...what the hell is going on with that vixen?Wait, Akiko, you won't yell like that in front of Mr. Chuya, will you—!

hateful!Mr. Ranpo troubled me and I still have the position to refute him, but Akiko's words... I, I really dare not say anything.

So why did I come to this point!I am so dedicated, I only like Mr. Chuya from the beginning to the end!Although Akiko was the one who proposed to marry me... Ahh!not me!It's Six Chiaki!And in the final analysis, I married Akiko because of...

When I thought of this, my eyes narrowed.

Yes!In the final analysis, this is Mori Ogai's fault!

Thinking of this, my voice sank: "Let's not mention this for now, does Mr. Ranpo know what Hong Kong gangsters are using to target me?"

Edogawa Ranbu's voice came faintly: 【You just scolded me. 】

"...I didn't." I retorted with a good temper.

The other party said confidently: [That is to secretly scold me in my heart. 】

Me: "..." No, please use your reasoning ability where it is needed.

[Forget it, let me tell you, remember that you owe me a favor. 】

"...Yes, yes, tell me quickly." I had given up struggling.

[Is there any person in the Hong Kong black who acts without scruples, will hurt civilians and cause turmoil, and must you solve it? 】

"..." I was taken aback for a moment, and looked around the people I knew in Hong Kong before, and came to a conclusion, "...Yes, there is such a person."

——The culprit who made me rise from the bottom of Hong Kong gangsters all of a sudden and had to start climbing, [Brain Hell] Hisaku Yumeno, code-named Q.

……

On the other side, Wanxiang Hall—————

"A supernatural user of the mind control department..." Ranpo Edogawa thought after cutting off the communication, "It makes sense..."

Standing there with arms folded with Yosano Akiko, frowning: "The kid will be fine, right?"

"From the looks of it now, it shouldn't be so, it's just a type of blockage. Although the gangsters want to destroy the detective agency, but Chisaki-san is a police officer, even if he is suspended now..." Edogawa Ranpo stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking "Ah."

"Huh? What's the matter, Mr. Ranpo?"

"...I see." Edogawa Luanbu put down the snacks in his hand, his expression became serious, "Liujo Chisaki is not a person who can swallow his anger, and the Hong Kong gang leader who used to be her boss knows this very well. And Liujo Chisaki The current suspension is actually the result of the game of the white Dao department above, and it is a disguised protection method. If she does something that disobeys orders... Her white Daoist background will no longer be her backstage, but restrict and punish her. The presence."

Yosano Akiko was taken aback when she understood the twists and turns, and after figuring out the joints, she clicked her tongue heavily.

"Does the matter over there have to be dealt with in six ways?" Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had been listening in, asked.

"Well, the enemy of the mind control department, not to mention the detective agency, I'm afraid she is the most suitable person in Yokohama to deal with this matter." Ranpo Edogawa raised his hands and put them behind his head, leaning back , "Ahhh - it's completely put together."

Because the gangsters sold the address of the detective agency's clerk to the group, they also gave the detective agency the addresses of the group members who went to catch the clerk.I am reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

Fukuzawa Yukichi urgently issued an order to evacuate the clerk, and let the attack team of Kunikida and Tanizaki Junichiro fight against the enemy.

The detective agency is still too short of manpower.

Now that the matter has already happened, Fukuzawa Yukichi will not regret anything anymore. After giving the order, he looked at Edogawa Ranpo: "Ranpo, remember to apologize to Rokujo later."

"Hey—President, you are biased—" Edogawa Ranpo shouted in disbelief.

And Yosano Akiko thought of the previous scene.

Just after Edogawa Ranpo said that, the other party's answer.

[You guys underestimate me, don’t you?Do you think I will believe this level of sowing dissension?Let her come to me and admit it personally if she has the ability. 】

"... Tsk." Thinking of the other party's tone and posture, Yosano Akiko started to feel annoyed again, obviously at the beginning it was just to cause trouble for the other party, but in the end she really felt provoked.

"Go back and beat that brat..."

……

"Ah Chirp—" I sneezed again and frowned, "What's the matter, do you have a cold...Forget it, now it's important."

If Mr. Mori really releases Q... that's really a tricky thing.

But I also know that Q was almost strangled to death by me at that time because I was locked up... If he really came out, he would definitely seek revenge from me.

"...Hmph, come if you want." I muttered, and suddenly had a new idea, and opened the door of the interrogation room.

"Sister Hongye~~~" I poked my head halfway in, dragged my tone, and called the other person's name in a coquettish tone.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"You were hurt by the people in the group, right?" I winked at her, "How about I take revenge for you? In exchange, you have to help me say something nice in front of someone."
