[Bungo Stray Dogs] Animal Three Musketeers

A year later, Fukuzawa almost rushed out of the theater that had just experienced a sudden murder with a very unhappy expression.

Recalling what happened in this day, Fukuzawa Yukichi felt that the energy he could use in the first half of his life was almost exhausted, and now he was overdrawing the energy of the second half of his life.

From the fact that the protector was killed by the killer in the early morning by his subordinates, and he had a very troublesome follower, to the murder of the supernatural person in the theater, and finally the child Ranpo used his life as a bet to sit on the prisoner Yamada Village The police car, everything seems to be a joke to the 32-year-old bodyguard.

The murder notice that appeared at the beginning was nothing more than the self-directed and acted by the famous actor Murakami. The behind-the-scenes mastermind was the unknown criminal organization "V" that was chasing and killing the gentleman in a suit. Murakami became the most obvious scapegoat.

The screenwriter was one of the insiders of this incident, a very important breakthrough, but he did not expect to be killed when he and Edogawa Ranpo entered the theater.

All clues are broken.

He found the crutch that the gentleman had accidentally left behind in the note left by his random steps, and remembered that the killer who was said by his subordinate to be a terrifying supernatural person hurried to the city police's underground detention center in the morning.

Since he is a powerful killer of supernatural beings, he will definitely receive some commissions for hunting supernatural beings.

Through the long stairs leading to the underground, Fukuzawa came to the single room of the superhuman killer. When he saw the person inside, he held his breath, and disbelief was written all over his extremely shocked face.

"Natsume……?"

In the single prison cell made of concrete, sat a woman in kimono with golden hair like ginkgo biloba. At this time, she quietly turned the pages of the book under the overhead lamp.Fuze looked in through the only small window at the door, and the person inside just raised his head, and the two looked at each other.

It can't be called a friendly meeting, but such an unexpected situation also surprised Fukuzawa, who has been walking on the tip of a knife for many years.

"Ah, good afternoon, Fukuzawa-kun."

The woman smiled and closed the half-read book, "You know I'm here, so you came to visit with something?"

"Do not……"

The key question is, why did you get caught in the city police's underground detention center, which is where the worst criminals should stay.

The place that is completely incompatible with the Natsume Mizusui of ordinary people, Fukuzawa thought, only by drying the cleaned quilts and clothes in the sun, or humming unknown and gentle songs to the children on the porch, can he match the quiet woman in front of him , not this tightly sealed prison.

People who seem to have nothing to do with murderous intent, chaos, and blood.

Fuze's tone was difficult, "How are you?"

"The temperature of the air conditioner is just right, and the guards will bring me some books to pass the time, but the food is a bit difficult to eat, but thinking about this environment, it is impossible to give me delicious food." Natsume Mizushui stood up and turned the page Counting the books that were about to be torn apart and putting them back on the bed, "Fukuzawa-kun, is there anything you want to ask?"

"...you probably don't know."

Natsume Mizusui smiled calmly, "No, Fukuzawa-kun, maybe I will know for some reason?"

Natsume Mizusui's smile has a wonderful power to soothe people's emotions.

With an open-minded and objective smile that cannot be described in any words, Fukuzawa was speechless facing Natsume Mizumi who was in prison like this.

He chose to believe, and raised the cane in his hand, and at the moment when things were revealed, Fukuzawa noticed that Natsume Mizusui shook visibly with the naked eye.

The T-shaped cane, made of camellia, had been polished to a shine, and the handle was decorated with gold leaf, and looked old.

Such a reaction... Do they know each other?

"..."

"Fukuzawa-kun."

Natsume Mizusui replied, "I'll give you some important places where they might go, you go and check."

"You know that criminal organization?" Fuzawa put down his cane and said in surprise, "Are you also a member of the Witness Protection Program? Then why...?"

"There is no other way. I have been hunted down since I came back from the cemetery that day. Compared with the people who are still wandering outside, it is the safest for me to be locked up here." Natsume Shuishui explained, "As for the matter in the morning , In fact, it is a transfer that the person who protects me has to take."

"Transfer?"

"Let's talk about the specific situation after you rescue that child from Edogawa. It's not in a hurry." Natsume Mizusui urged Fukuzawa who still wanted to say something, "The first thing to solve is the child's life."

Fukuzawa is now dizzy.

Why do ordinary people know so much?Why do you seem to have a better understanding of the outside world than he, the client, while you are locked up here?Why is the transfer of a safe place chosen in such a harsh environment?Why are you involved with the witness protection program?Why did the criminal organization "V" that eliminates supernatural beings focus on you, who is powerless? ...

"……be careful."

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who dryly dropped a sentence, rushed to the location provided by Natsume Mizusui with a brain that was about to explode. Natsume Mizusui who was left behind in the cell blinked in a daze at the small window that was pulled shut.

Calculating the progress of the plan, she will be able to go out in a few hours.

Thinking of Ango Sakaguchi and Zaizai who were entrusted to someone, her eyes that were almost caught in the morning were flickering with anxiety.

One thing Fukuzawa guessed right, she is one of the supernatural beings in the witness protection plan who can negotiate with the protection organization. A large part of the reason for becoming a member is due to Natsume who knows a lot of government internal information Soseki.It is a pity that the protection plan did not include those three children.

After realizing that the original house was surrounded by criminal organizations, she immediately led Zaza and Ango, who were still playing at the firework festival, to knock on the door of Tsujimura Mizuki's house.

Tsujimura Fukatsuki decided to place the two children in Tanada first. After being distressed for a while, Natsume Mizusui, who didn't want to deal with each other, agreed under the pressure of the situation.

She began a life of hiding for eleven months-in fact, it was very funny to see those people looking for her and Sōseki in a daze, no matter what traps were laid for them, large or small, it was very difficult for them. It's nothing to be afraid of at all.

The witness protection program will be activated passively when attacked, and the names and records stored in the Secret Service in the past will be deleted and falsified. There will be special personnel to hide their whereabouts, and special memory cards must be used for important communications.Life was more comfortable than when he was wandering before, until Ranpo Edogawa took over the job that had an intersection with Fukuzawa, Natsume Soseki, who was also leisurely wandering in the city, came to meet her secretly and told her about the long-planned Planning can start.

——Three-point conception plan.

That's why she stepped into the company that later became an armed detective agency, pretending to be a killer and being framed.
