The number one heartbreaker in Hong Kong and black

Araki Ryosuke temporarily left Dazai Osamu behind, walked into the cafe on the first floor, and came to the first floor of the stronghold of the Armed Detective Agency.

During this period, the eyes of the customers in the cafe lingered on him and Enkidu, their eyes full of curiosity and amazement.

Since the aura was far from normal, the guests couldn't help being attracted to him, guessing his identity in whispers, but he decisively ignored them.

No need, anyway, there will be no intersection of life.

Araki Ryosuke walked up the stairs to the fourth floor with a clear goal, looked into the corridor, and hesitated——

Is this really an armed detective agency?

What surprised him was that such a hostile organization [Armed Detective Agency], which could compete with Hong Kong gangsters, was unexpectedly down-to-earth in terms of location selection, just like an ordinary commissioned firm opened on the street.

If the name of the organization hadn't been hung on the cafe, and the information he received had confirmed the address, Araki Ryosuke would not be sure that it was here, because it was simply too simple.

This is different from the gangsters in Hong Kong. The mafia built a towering office building in Yokohama with great wealth and wealth, and then quickly became a landmark building in the city of Yokohama, exclusively for the use of the mafia.

No one in Yokohama could ignore the behemoth that cast a lingering shadow over the city, any more than they could ignore the pervasive infiltration of the city by the port mafia.

However, unlike many people's imagined Hong Kong gangsters as a villain organization, Ryosuke Araki has worked in it for more than a year, and has mixed feelings about this group of mafia who bear the title of evil forces but maintain urban order and peace.

In a sense, Hong Kong gangsters are not ugly behemoths that only care about devouring profits.As Chuya Nakahara said in the future: "Without the city and citizens of Yokohama, where can we do business?"

Guarding has also become an order of Hong Kong gang members, but this is implemented by them in a wide-ranging way, so few people notice it.

Compared with the arrogance and recklessness of Hong Kong gangsters, the low-key approach of the armed detective agency made Ryosuke Araki feel a little novel and a little uneasy-he didn't know whether the detective agency that acted like this was hiding a deeper side.

"..."

"Ryosuke, don't you want to go in?" Enkidu's voice came softly, and he put his hand on Araki Ryosuke's shoulder, as if to use it to provide strength, "Are you distracted? Is there anything to worry about?" ?”

Being interrupted like this, Araki Ryosuke immediately recovered from his wild thoughts, pretended to straighten his clothes, concealed his nervousness, turned his head to Enkidu and said: "Let's go, Enkidu. "

To save Enkidu from worrying, he walked through the corridor, passed through a layer of light and shadow, and arrived at the door of the detective agency. The door was open, as if it was business hours, quietly waiting for customers to come.

In fact, it is true to say so.

The Armed Detective Agency is a private profit-making organization entrusted by the people. It is known as the "twilight armed group between day and night".

It's really hard to imagine that such a private organization could become the biggest enemy of the port mafia in the future, and they can't do anything about it, so that it will form a three-point balance with the armed police and Hong Kong gangsters.

However, due to the premature time, the Armed Detective Agency is just an obscure firm. Maybe Ryosuke Araki will have the opportunity to witness its rise... Thinking about it, he actually looks forward to it.

"Hello." Ryosuke Araki had already reached the door, so he stopped and knocked on the door, "I am..."

"..."

"Oh, people are coming," a voice sounded, followed by the sound of chairs being dragged, and a figure jumped off the table with a glass soda bottle in his hand, "It's on time."

The owner of the voice walked towards Araki Ryosuke as if no one was there, closed his eyes tightly in front of him, and showed a cute and sly smile.

"That detective has started the assessment unceremoniously." He said proudly.

"Wait……"

Only then did Ryosuke Araki see clearly the appearance of this impolite man. He has short black hair, soft and delicate facial features, a cute baby face, and a small British shawl. He looks like a great Victorian detective. Holmes' attire.

The other party looked childish, with a refreshing youthful atmosphere, which made even his rude behavior cute.

Araki Ryosuke was taken aback by this outfit, and had an idea of ​​the identity of this young man in his heart——

Wait, is this the famous script king who can be called the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes, Ranpo Edogawa?

Is it the person who even Osamu Dazai can't make a disguise in front of this person, and is seen through at a glance?

Isn't it right, there will be a door-to-door kill at the beginning?

Ryosuke Araki subconsciously returned a smile. Even though the other party's eyes were closed and it was impossible to see his face, he suspected that the group of people had their eyes open, so it was safer.

"Hmm... let me take a look." The boy puffed up his cheeks.

He took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from his pocket, put them on the bridge of his nose, and then opened his eyes, revealing the stunning green eyes of a black cat, and the sly smile did not disappear.

——Launch a different ability, [Super Reasoning]!

With this ability, the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo can easily see through the essence of any incident.

As long as he thinks about it, he can become the MVP of all werewolf kills at any time, but he is a good player who understands the rules and will not spoil in advance.

"Oh...that's not the case." Luanbu uttered a few inexplicable tone words, "Hey, okay——"

There was some disdain in his tone, but Ryosuke Araki was sure that it was not aimed at him, but rather aimed at Mori Ogai, the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Being forced to come to a hostile organization, it seems that it is not easy for you, what rules and so on, it's really annoying, right?"

Ryosuke Araki simply put on a dumb face, and let him say what he said, anyway, according to Osamu Dazai, he couldn't pretend to be a disguise.

"What else?" He asked frankly, "What else do you see?"

He even felt cooperative, because Edogawa Ranpo's expression was a little smug, as if he was saying——

Hmph, there is nothing that this detective doesn't know, ordinary people should be obediently shocked by me.

It's kind of cute, Ryosuke Araki thought strangely.

"Don't worry, I won't say it." Luanbu said with a frown, "Since the Hong Kong gangster and the annoying adults treat this as a game, then I will accompany you unceremoniously. Anyway, these cases are too simple. Even a fool can see through."

Edogawa Ranpo is only 19 years old. For a boyish detective whose psychological age is still a teenager, those boring cases that can be seen through at a glance are far less interesting than the games in front of him.

Ryosuke Araki: "..."

It was really expected.

Afterwards, Ranpo showed a shining, innocent smile: "—By the way, my name is Edogawa Ranpo, remember it! Be sure to remember it! Although I know you know me, Araki-kun .”

Without waiting for his answer, the young man's gaze was on Enkidu behind him, and he said firmly, "You are Enkidu himself."

Although he didn't even use his abilities, he was still recognized by the detective at a glance.

Enkidu spoke softly and curiously: "Then, how do you know?"

"It's not easy. I don't even want to answer. Explaining is not what a detective should do." Ranbu folded his arms and said boringly, "You explained the answer yourself."

Very good, the other party shot everyone on the map in one go, and pulled them into the scope of the fool's IQ basin. After all, it seems that the only ones who can recognize Enki's extraordinary identity at a glance are Osamu Dazai and Ranpo himself.

No wonder Osamu Dazai said that Ranpo would help him hide it, because these two overly intelligent people had already analyzed each other thoroughly before they met, and they had a vague feeling of encountering the same kind.

The two of them took this matter as a stage for arm wrestling, which made Ryosuke Araki feel a little funny for a while.

In fact, Araki Ryosuke can somewhat understand the reason why Edogawa Ranpo saw through Enkidu's true identity.

Some people do not gain power by becoming gods after death, but they have become gods because of their power when they were alive, so the dazzling light of belief cannot be covered up by traveling through time and space, and they must not be covered by simple duplicate names to cover up.

Most people ignore this point, but as a detective, Ranpo can see through the essence of things at a glance, so he finds it so simple.

Ranpo seemed to see something from Araki Ryosuke again, his voice was mixed with curiosity and surprise: "Aren't you afraid? Even many adults would tremble in front of me."

Because I saw through your secret?

how to say……

Being able to say such words, it seems that the 19-year-old detective in front of him also suffered from being too smart just like Dazai.

"What are you afraid of? I'm only envious." Araki Ryosuke said casually, "People who are afraid are probably because of jealousy."

Such a rare genius in the world was rejected as a monster because of his outstanding excellence.

People who do this kind of thing can only have low self-esteem, inferiority, and bad deeds in their hearts, so they are afraid of being seen through their essence and use exclusion to cover up their ugliness.

When Luanbu heard the words, his green eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he waved his hand: "Well, I like you!"

Araki Ryosuke remained calm, with a scumbag demeanor: "Thank you, it's possible, but it's not necessary."

Ranbu suddenly changed the subject: "Well, by the way, did you, Enkidu and that Dazai Osamu spend last night together?"

Ryosuke Araki: "..."

He choked.

What kind of misleading and confusing death speech is this, how can he answer to return to the correct children's channel.

When he and Ranpo were looking at each other, a blond boy suddenly rushed out from the closed office, wearing the uniform of a junior high school student, with a pure student atmosphere, Araki Ryosuke couldn't help but take a few more glances.

How can there be students here?

What's more, he came out of the president's office, obviously with an unusual status.

He ran behind Ranpo, and was taken aback when he saw Ryosuke Araki. He first bowed, with an old-fashioned behavior that did not meet his age, and then he straightened up and said loudly: "...Mr. Ranpo! The president asked you to Araki-san brought it in."

"Kunikida, I understand."

Ranpo waved his hands, and said to Ryosuke Araki, "He's called Kunikida Doppo, and he's not a member of the detective agency yet, but the president likes him very much, and he might join the detective agency in the future."

When talking about the president's liking, Ranbu curled his lips.

"..." Ryosuke Araki looked Kunikida a few more times, "Are you still studying?"

A student obediently wearing a junior high school uniform appeared among a group of social people who cut someone today.

Kunikida realized later that he was asking himself, and he was taken aback for a moment before answering: "Yes, sir."

Araki Ryosuke thought it was a little funny, because the other party used honorifics for him, so he pointed to his face, and said deliberately wronged: "I'm only 15 years old, do I look old?"

Kunikida froze, remembering that the other party was the same age as him, and immediately bowed ninety degrees again to apologize, his expression flustered.

"Nothing, sorry, I just..."

"Hey, don't apologize." Luanbu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, with a malicious expression on his face, "Can't you see that Araki is actually a bad guy?"

"..." Kunikida's eyes widened in shock, "Araki-kun?"

—Yes, he is super bad.

Araki Ryosuke smiled secretly, but put on an innocent expression on the surface: "It's nothing, why would I do this."

"Is this..."

This boy named Kunikida actually believed it!

Well, what an honest man.

The author has something to say: I refer to the prequel of the novel for the character of the 19-year-old Ranpo, it should be as mature and stable as in the drama (???)

ps: Kunikida is a private agency here, because I didn’t see the exact time when the president met him, and he also studied under the president, so I already knew the president when I was studying in private, but I didn’t join the detective agency!

pps: It was seven years later that Ranbu realized that super reasoning is not a supernatural ability, but because of his own genius mind, so he didn't know it here, so his perspective is still to activate supernatural abilities~
