[Bungo Stray Dogs] Animal Three Musketeers

It only took a few days to be released.

Fukuzawa must have received the news, or the young Edogawa boy with strong observation and reasoning skills had calculated the time when she would be released from prison. come up.

Fukuzawa's clogs and walking habits are particularly obvious, and the young man wearing a military cap follows him slowly, with a relatively lazy and casual pace.Natsume Mizusui, who was still in the room, knew the identity of the visitor almost without deliberate guessing.

The city police on the side locked the empty cell behind.She moved her hands and feet, and suddenly looked down at the bright red marks on the exposed wrists and ankles, and shrank her body into the sleeves and hem without any trace.

"……Are you ok?"

Fukuzawa hesitated for a while following the opponent's movements, turned his head and looked at the squinting Luanbu, but got an answer that shrugged, which meant "you handle it yourself".

Fukuzawa felt his body was crumbling.

The black hole in front of him that could suck in people's reason and thoughts reappeared again, and the meeting within a few days brought his memory back to the clinic where he had a myocardial infarction a year ago.

It's a nightmare.He is soberly aware that it is the most impossible thing in the world to have a normal conversation with Natsume Suisui without any weird conversations, but this cruel fact makes him dizzy, if it is not for years of martial arts that still support him to maintain Waking up, Fukuzawa thinks he might be a dead body on the ground now.

However, what Edogawa Ranpo really wants to convey to Fukuzawa is that you can't handle it at all, don't even think about it.

"I had a good meal for a few days." Natsume Mizusui saw that Fukuzawa's eyes were still fixed on his sleeves, and he bent his mouth to change the subject, "Did Fukuzawa-kun go to the higher-ups to talk?"

"..."

"It's your reward for telling that stronghold." Fuze was silent for a moment, and found that it was really impolite to look away quietly, "Is there anything that must be done after going out?"

"Let's go to lunch first."

"now it is night."

"Huh? Is it night... well, Fukuzawa-kun, don't look at me like that. You won't know whether it's day or night outside when you're locked up here." Natsume Shuishui joked over with a smile, "If Fukuzawa-kun could It would be nice to invite another dinner, and it would be even better to be able to order arbitrarily.”

What about your skin?

Fukuzawa was heartbroken.

The guarding city police brought the mobile phone and other items that were collected when he was imprisoned. Natsume Mizusui checked whether there was anything missing. After confirming that it was correct, he opened the cover of the mobile phone that had not been opened for a few days, only to find a note dangling lightly. out.

Hiding key clues in small details has always been the other party's forte. Natsume Suisui pretends to be blind with his eyes closed and can see whose handwriting it is.

"The man in the suit sent it."

It was Edogawa who hadn't spoken since he came in. "Even the Witness Protection Plan doesn't allow members to know or talk to each other, so it can be proved that your relationship before joining the plan is extraordinary."

"Not ordinary? Simply speaking, my relationship with him can only be called ordinary." Natsume Mizusui adapted well to the situation where his identity was turned upside down, "Excellent observation skills, worthy of being the world's number one detective .”

The note was crumpled into a ball and swallowed into her stomach. She squinted her eyes and smiled, "But even if you say that, I can't tell you what's on it."

"This little bit of information can be deduced by relying on my ability—! Going to check it is just a waste of time!"

Before Fukuzawa opened his mouth to stop Ranpo's speech, Ranpo had already said a lot, and there was a tendency to say shocking words again.Under Natsume Mizusui's surprised and encouraging eyes, Fukuzawa's back subconsciously felt cold.

Sure enough, Ranpo, who got Natsume Mizumi's permission, carefully analyzed, "Auntie, you are about 25 years old. On the surface, you are an ordinary housewife, but in fact you have gossip information on most of Yokohama, and your usual weapon is a doctor's scalpel. ——However, you rarely use it, because after hiding your identity, you don’t need to fight anymore. Martial arts and Mr. Fukuzawa take a different route, and usually win with skills.”

"I have a husband, a daughter, and two apprentices. The 'Oda' I met before is one of them. There is a very cute pastoral dog at home."

"The personality is weak, but paranoid in some respects. The ability to observe words and emotions and react to sudden changes is very strong. Basically, you can quickly rescue when you feel the other party's emotional fluctuations. That is to say, you often please others in details. Get along with you Very comfortable. My emotions are easily influenced by others, especially those closest to me."

"I like books, I hardly hear even the slightest footsteps when I walk, and the disasters encountered in my childhood make it difficult for you to trust other people, so why did you treat me and..."

"Fukuzawa-kun." Natsume Mizusui interrupted Edogawa Ranpo's words abruptly with a slight smile, his eyes were inexplicably panicked for a few seconds, "I just thought about it for a while, why don't we find a place to catch up on the past? I'm hungry oh."

Fukuzawa still didn't slow down during the chaotic explanation, and when he finally talked about him, he reflexively turned his eyes to look at the woman who was talking, cleverly capturing the fleeting panic.

panic……?

With the ability to know most of the important information in Yokohama, he should say something about his abilities at this time, or say nothing, and wait for the chaos to stop.

Why panic?

Even the usual indifference was disrupted, and some words didn't match up.

Is it a secret that can never be seen through?

Puzzled, Fuze stopped the dissatisfied Luanbu, and made a compromise between the two, "Well, let's go out first."

Natsume Shuishui took the lead in turning around and leading the way, with a sigh in his throat.

——I regretted the connivance just now.

"Why are you so unprepared for the first time?" She couldn't let Luanbu ask this kind of question, and the answer full of mistakes and omissions would add more information to this clever detective, and it would not be impossible to dig out deeper secrets. possible thing.

So interrupting is the best way.

The three walked to a nearby curry shop.

Natsume Mizusui, who had a small appetite, only ordered a plate of spicy curry. Fukuzawa looked at Natsume who hadn't changed from a year ago, and even had the illusion that the panic he had just noticed was a momentary illusion.

"……terribly sorry."

Natsume Mizusui's rice spoon stopped, and gently put it back on the napkin that was unfolded flat, "It's okay, the question that needs to be paid attention to now is, what do you and this child want to ask?"

"Mr. Fukuzawa wants to find that gentleman. It will definitely be faster to ask Auntie about you." Ranpo said unhappily, "But as soon as I saw you, I knew you wouldn't say it."

"After all, he is the strongest supernatural being who can see through the truth of the world." Natsume Mizushui nodded understandingly, and smiled, "So even if I don't tell you, you will eventually find him, because it's too early to get angry, supernatural detective .”

……

Here it is again, there is no way to find out the core sense of disobedience.

Fukuzawa remembered that he never said anything about Ranpo, but the other party's words and deeds clearly showed that Natsume was very clear about the relationship between the two of them and the experiences of the past few days.

"So, Fukuzawa-kun, what do you think?"

"...I have an idea." Fukuzawa, who was suddenly asked, answered a little slowly, "For this reason, we must find this man who belongs to the same witness protection program as you."

"I can't help you." Natsume Mizusui held the spoon and did not move, "If you really want to get an answer from me, I can only give you a little advice, that is, use your own abilities to find that cunning This is more sincere, sir."

"You are right...but there is a doubt, what is your relationship?"

"A very ordinary relationship."

Fukuzawa didn't waver, his eyes fixed on Natsume who almost spat out the curry rice under the attack of his eyes.

"...It's really a very ordinary relationship, the kind you can just randomly pull on the streets of Yokohama." Natsume Mizusui tried to explain, with a helpless tone, "It's very easy for Fukuzawa to have such a relationship. "

Edogawa Ranbu snorted in a low voice, not sure what his attitude was, but he didn't expose Natsume Mizusui's deliberate distorting of the truth. He blew on the food and continued to drink red bean soup indifferently.

And a year later, when I saw Fuze, a harmonious family of five, in the quaint Wanxiangtang, almost one of them couldn't resist crushing the wooden clogs under his feet.

husband and wife relationship? !

ordinary--? !
