The number one heartbreaker in Hong Kong and black

Ryosuke Araki immediately drove to the detective agency.

Sure enough, when he walked into the detective agency, Ranpo was already sitting on the swivel chair playing with candy canes with a face of nothing to do, his expression looked a little unhappy, and Kunikida Doppo was sitting opposite him.

The 15-year-old blond boy looked at Ranpo nervously: "Mr. Ranpo, everything you want has been bought for you!"

Ryosuke Araki glanced at the table and was immediately shocked.

——Ranpo, you are indeed going to participate in the detective competition, not to smuggle candy, right? !

In his sight, candies of various brands were packaged separately, and the flavors were also labeled. Then there were some common snacks, but he didn’t see a change of clothes or daily necessities. He thought with black lines, sure enough. Does Ranpo have no common sense in life?

"Kunikida, don't buy him too many of these things." Araki Ryosuke said, he put the shoulder bag he brought in front of Ranpo.

Luanbu glanced at him, lay down on the table sleepily, puffed up one cheek: "Ryosuke, my tooth hurts so much."

"—For this matter, I can only say, Chaos, don't eat too much candy." Araki Ryosuke said, looking at Kunikida Doppo, "Don't be bullied by him all the time, sometimes chaos I have to make a discount. When I am working, if I have to buy food, I should also buy something nutritious—I have a card..."

Kunikida waved his hands frantically: "No, no, I can't take your money."

But Ryosuke Araki didn't think what he said was right, because Kunikida Doppo was only a junior high school student, and this part of the money might come from his living expenses, and it seemed that Kunikida had no intention of asking the president for reimbursement.

So, it's impossible for him to let such a student be in charge of Luanbu's snacks, right?

"Right, Ranpo?" Ryosuke Araki asked.

Ranpo tilted his head and watched him preaching to Kunikida, and said in his mouth: "Yes! Since Ryosuke said so, then so be it."

"No—I can't Mr. Ranpo—"

"Don't move around!"

"..." It feels like if you close your eyes, this conversation is a new world.

Just as the two of them pushed back and forth, the door of the president's office suddenly opened, and Fukuzawa Yukichi's figure came out.

He looked at Ryosuke Araki with a complicated expression: "... I will ask you to take care of Ranpo."

Originally, Fukuzawa Yukichi did not intend to let Edogawa Ranpo participate in this detective competition - because he had heard of the name Edgar Allan Poe, and the other party was said to have joined the American supernatural organization [combination]. The news came that the other party's personality was quite weird, and he was also a detective with an IQ at the top of the pyramid.

He wasn't sure about Luanbu's safety. After all, although the opponent was too smart, his combat power was really not worth mentioning.

In the past, Fukuzawa Yukichi would spare time for this kind of thing, or let Yosano Akiko accompany Luanbu to go there, but this time, he and Yosano Akiko both received commissions, and the recent fog in Yokohama caused The death of many people, the police department attaches great importance to this, so it is difficult for them to separate their energy.

Unexpectedly, Ranpo directly said: "Then I will let Ryosuke accompany me." So, he directly called Araki Ryosuke in front of him.

In fact, Fukuzawa Yukichi never thought that Ryosuke Araki would actually agree to this nonsense. After all, the other party returned to Hong Kong after that day, and obviously had no intention of staying in the detective agency.

"..." Fukuzawa Yukichi, "If there is any unexpected accident, you can contact us with Ranpo's mobile phone."

Araki Ryosuke understood his worries as a parent, so he solemnly said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to Luanbu, I will protect him."

Whether Fukuzawa Yukichi believes it or not, he has no intention of hurting Edogawa Ranpo.

"..." Luanbu looked at the two of them for a while, then straightened up, covering one of his sore cheeks, "Okay, let's go?"

He jumped down from the seat, grabbed Ryosuke Araki's arm, and was about to take the two of them outside, Ryosuke Araki only had time to grab the shoulder bag in a hurry.

"Mr. Ranpo, sugar, candy—"

Araki Ryosuke was staggered by being dragged, and it was really rude to walk like this, so he hurriedly replied: "Put it there, I will buy it directly if I have money, and don't worry about it over there."

"..." Kunikida ushered in a critical attack.

They quickly walked out of the detective agency's office and came downstairs. Ryosuke Araki opened the passenger's door and let Ranpo get in. Then he returned to the driver's seat, first leaning over to help him do nothing Luanbu fastened his seat belt, adjusted his seat, and then planned to drive the car.

Luanbu looked a little listless, and it seemed that the toothache was severe.

Araki Ryosuke: "Take your hand away, let me see."

Luanbu obediently moved his hand away, revealing his side face, Ryosuke Araki observed carefully, and found that it was a little swollen: "Be patient for now, I'll go over and buy you some painkillers later."

"By the way," Ranpo continued to cover his cheek with one hand, "Ryosuke doesn't have a driver's license, right?"

"..." Araki Ryosuke started the car, "Don't panic, my driving skills are not bad."

"If you are caught by the police, this sentence is very appropriate."

"Have you forgotten who I am? I'm a mafia. It's strange to obey the law."

Ranbu stopped talking, but like a little hamster that couldn't stop, he grabbed Ryosuke Araki's shoulder bag while driving, and slowly put it on his lap.

Then he opened the zipper—and sure enough, it contained glass sodas, jelly, and chewing gum, all for Chaos.

Although Ryosuke Araki was staring at the road, he still had one hand free, and ruthlessly pulled back the shoulder bag: "No, you have a toothache."

"It suddenly said that it doesn't hurt anymore." Ranpo used anthropomorphic techniques, "It said that it can continue to work for Lord Ranpo!"

... W-what?

Ranpo, do you think being cute can make me succumb?impossible!

"It's true." Ranpo emphasized, "I'm not lying!"

"..."

"Remember to eat chewing gum after eating jelly, it may be better."

Ranbu immediately pulled the shoulder bag over again, showing a happy expression, took out the jelly and began to peel off the package.

Araki Ryosuke didn't want to talk about himself anymore: "Let's not go to Xiongying later, although I know that you agreed to be there, but I have to go to see No. Stay in a nearby hotel for a few days. Do you have any comments? If you have any, you can raise them."

Ranbu shook his head indifferently: "It's okay, a famous detective doesn't care about details, I just want to win."

"—and it's tomorrow afternoon until the appointed time!"

Araki Ryosuke nodded, indicating that he had remembered the time of the detective competition, and he would not forget it.

……

They went to Andewa's office first.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to find a hero that is famous on the hero leaderboard, because professional heroes are not the type to sit in an office.

Especially Andewa, although his public reputation is not very good, but he doesn't care about the public's evaluation, but justifiably sits in the NO.2 position by relying on his achievements.

But this time Araki Ryosuke had better luck, he just walked into the office, and heard Ranbu beside him saying, "He's here."

There is no need to ask how Ranpo deduced it, anyway, just believe that the result is correct. Since Ranpo said that Andewa is in the office now, then he must be there, and there is no need to explore the process.

Araki Ryosuke observed the crowds coming and going, and as expected, they were all professional heroes in strange costumes.

To be honest... At first, he disliked the uniform of Hong Kong and Heihe as a black suit, which he needed to wear every day, but seeing this group of heroes, he suddenly felt that the uniform of Hong Kong and Heiwei was very fashionable.

If he had to wear this kind of combat uniform to go out on the street, he would rather stay in the office and manage mushrooms.

Because Araki Ryosuke's temperament does not look like an ordinary person at first glance, and he did not change his expensive suit because he was in a hurry to pick up Ranpo, coupled with Ranbu's equally eye-catching passive attributes, it made the two of them stand together. It is particularly prominent in the reception hall of the firm.

After a while, someone took the initiative to come forward and ask.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Andawa." Araki Ryosuke said, "Is he free?"

"Excuse me... do you have an appointment?" The front desk asked politely.

Araki Ryosuke was already prepared. He took out his business card and handed it over directly: "My name is Araki Ryosuke, from Yokohama. Please pass it to Mr. Andawa for me. When he sees the business card, he will agree. I met."

The front desk looked embarrassed, not daring to accept it casually: "I'm sorry, I don't have an appointment, I can't..."

"Too arrogant." Luan Bu said.

"……what?"

"Arrogance, arrogance, overwhelmed with victory and defeat." Ranpo ignored the front desk, but turned to look at Araki Ryosuke, "Ryosuke, I'm talking about that professional hero named Andawa."

"..." It's about the same, and Luanbu is not wrong.

It just sounds a bit like a mess.

"Probably have an appointment." Araki Ryosuke said, "But I don't know the name, maybe it's Araki Ryosuke, or maybe it's Mori Ogai, can you please check it for me."

He should have asked Mori Ogai to be more careful, but at the thought of taking a vacation, he completely forgot about the task.

He winked at the little girl at the front desk: "This doesn't violate the rules, does it? Is there anything embarrassing for you?"

The other party immediately became hesitant, with an indistinct blush on his face: "Yes, yes, this is no problem, then Mr. Araki, can you come with me?"

Ranbu cast a death stare at Ryosuke Araki: "..."

... This, is needed for work!

Before Ryosuke Araki could explain, a young man about his age walked out of the office. His face seemed to be covered with frost, but it made his handsome facial features even more eye-catching——

Just looking at his face, this is definitely a boy of the iceberg type.

He only caught Ryosuke Araki's sight for a moment, because the other party's rare hair color, half of it is white hair, and the other half is red. .

"Frozen--"

Behind him, there was a middle-of-the-road roar.

However, the boy whose name was called out in such an angry voice did not react at all, and his entire face still maintained that cold expression.

——Boom and freeze?

Although no anger could be seen from his expression, it was just that the strange-colored pupils were burning with the flames of cold hatred. His anger made his cheek muscles twitch, but there was still no big expression fluctuation.

Because this is the closest passage to go out, he walked towards Ryosuke Araki.

Just when he walked a few steps, a man chased him out, his beard and most of his cheeks were covered with red flames, and his features were quite obvious - the NO.2 hero Andeva, with the personality of [Hellfire] , can control powerful flames to incinerate enemies.

"Jiao Dong, as I said before, you are not allowed to see that woman, she is not qualified to be your mother at all!"

Hearing that, Hong Jiaodong paused his footsteps, and he stood where he was, the flames of hatred in his eyes became even hotter. At this time, he happened to be a few steps in front of Araki Ryosuke, so the latter could see him tightly He squeezed his hands tightly, showing great restraint.

"Do you really want to talk about my mother with me in the office?" Hong Jiaodong said, his voice was unexpectedly strong, but with a trace of patience, "I don't need you to take care of my affairs."

Ryosuke Araki was a little embarrassed... Did they break into someone else's family affairs?Hong Jiaodong seems to be Andeva's son.

"..." Hong Jiaodong turned around, looked at Andeva, and said in a deep voice, "Be your hero. My affairs and future affairs don't need your intervention."

After saying this, Hong Jiaodong continued to walk towards the door, intending to leave.

Ryosuke Araki turned slightly sideways to make room for him.

But what I didn't expect was that at the moment when they passed by, Hong Jiaodong saw his face, stopped in his leaving footsteps, and said in a daze, "Ryosuke Araki?"

"..." Araki Ryosuke was a little surprised, he didn't remember knowing each other, "You know me?"

Hong Jiaodong pursed his lips, looking a bit stubborn: "You have changed schools."

"..."

Afterwards, leaving this inexplicable sentence behind, Hong Jiaodong withdrew his gaze from him, and walked out of the office without looking back.
