My Bungo system is a little different

The result of the duel...how should I put it?Totally expected?

It was defeat of Ranpo Edogawa.

The difference in readability between the two works was so great that Chizhi suspected that the newspaper that published Edogawa's novels displayed the original text without changing it out of the mentality of attracting attention.

The body of the story is fragmented, the transitions of the article are inexplicable, and the puzzles are so complicated that readers can't even understand the detective's decryption in the article.

On the other hand, Edgar Allan Poe's works are coherent, with twists and turns, and the puzzles are impeccable while the articles are not long. If we want to talk about the shortcomings, it is that the author's first language is not Japanese, and the wording is occasionally a bit strange to read, but even this , is also better than random steps.

How big is the gap between the two sides?Just look at how many newspapers in Yokohama completely 'forgot' about it after the fact.

And this attitude of avoiding talking about it will probably only make the big detective even more angry.

Umm, the degree of his anger now is——

"Dante" looked at Ranbu who walked straight over and sat down across the table after entering the coffee shop, and Yosano Akiko who followed behind.

The degree of anger is the level that will take the initiative to run out to find the culprit.

"This matter has something to do with you." The green-eyed detective directly asked for 'accountability', and he didn't even bother to order dessert himself.The social doctor lady who was placing the order for him showed sharp eyes when she heard this.

"It's true to say it's related." The young poet unhurriedly turned the coffee cup in front of him, "But at best, I kept the information secret and didn't intervene."

It was Chizhi who wrote the letter, and it was Chizhi who sent the next vest. What's the matter with the innocent "Dante"?

"It's a lie." Luanbu didn't believe a word.

"Dante" turned the handle of the cup back to his left palm, his face showed no embarrassment at all, he just followed the detective's words and continued: "Then consider me to be lying. Mr. Ranbu, you know that I You must have a special perspective."

Then he stopped, didn't continue talking, just smiled and looked at Luanbu.

After a while, the detective reluctantly asked Yosano Akiko to sit at another table.After repeated confirmation, the social doctor gave "Dante" a few threatening glances, and sat down outside the two tables.The waitress at the coffee shop saw that they were obviously going to have a secret conversation, so she consciously left after serving dessert.

"Why do you think I have something to do with this matter?" "Dante" looked calm on the surface, but wanted to struggle in his heart.

"You asked me to pay attention to the affairs of your 'client', didn't you just want me to write?" The detective dug open the tiramisu with a spoon, "It's unlikely that two guys with such weird motives will appear in a short period of time. "

Uh... Shouldn't it be Edogawa Ranpo, who directly bypassed the appearance and found the end point.The movements of the boy's whole body froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"It seems that underestimating the famous detective is the biggest mistake I made. Yes, I know who is behind the challenge that Edgar Allan Poe gave you, but I think you will enjoy it, how about Just expose it and not mention it?" "Dante" tried to weaken the other party's anger, "I guess although your compositions are not good, you still received some interesting letters."

Judging from the change in the detective's expression, he was right.

Although ordinary people feel dizzy looking at the chaotic mystery novels written by Edogawa Ranpo, for some people, this kind of 'chaos' adds to the fun of reading.

"I have a perennial enthusiasm for excellent literary works. Mystery novels are a genre that did not exist in the time I lived. I think that if a famous detective like you is willing to write, excellent works will definitely be produced, so after noticing After the existence of the same idea, I have indeed been paying attention to its follow-up." "Dante" then euphemistically refuted the detective's previous conclusion that "two can not appear in a short period of time", and briefly mentioned his own influence in it.

"Dante" with a special perspective 'saw' the birth of this duel, and let it happen because it was in line with his heart, which seemed logically reasonable.

Although Edogawa Rampo claims that all the secrets are hidden in front of his eyes, in the final analysis, he still makes inferences based on clues.It shouldn't be possible to see through "Dante" and find the layer under the vest, right?Chizhi thought with a guilty conscience.

The detective was still eating dessert with a rather serious expression for him, and when he dug to the central axis with a spoon, he said suddenly: "How many things can you 'see'?"

As if he was not ready to hear the answer, his next sentence turned to another topic: "You are teaching that Oda to write novels, so what about mystery novels?"

Why do you ask an ancient man how to write mystery novels... Chi Zhi suppressed the desire to scream in his heart.

But on the bright side, at least he let go of the previous problems.

The boy sighed, the helplessness on his face was better than the surprise, he adjusted his sitting posture, and raised the index finger of his left hand.

"The point of mystery novels is to deceive." "Dante" said as if it was normal for him to say this.

"The purpose of the novelist is to deceive the reader, and the purpose of the reader is to be deceived. The author is the accomplice of the real murderer, and the reader resonates with the detective. So, change your perspective, great detective." He cryptically pointed out that the Edogawa chaos Misunderstandings during the first step of creation.

"The essence of deception is to fully understand the way of thinking of its audience. For a speculative novelist, there may be thousands, tens of thousands or even more people who read his articles. And among these people, who have never entered the society? Students who understand the world, there are also old fritters who have been struggling for decades. Some people may be very intelligent and they are detectives. At the same time, some people are ignorant and can’t even understand the most basic mysteries. The purpose of the author is Let everyone be deceived by him. This puts forward various requirements on the writing method of the work and the setting of the puzzle." "Dante" glanced at the detective with an 'I see' expression, and continued, " The more complicated the puzzle, the better, but the best ones are interlocking and fascinating. The plain writing form acts as an inducement. Readers will feel that they may be able to solve the truth after thinking about it again, and they will voluntarily walk into the author's A deeper trap is set. How to fool the stupid and the smart at the same time is very difficult to do."

"Creating a 'bait' carefully, the more targets the better, isn't it?" Ranbu made a dangerous statement.

"That's what I mean. Of course, there are also works that focus on social hot spots or court judgments or even fights. I think you should not be interested in those." "Dante" wiped the cold sweat in his heart, "The writing In terms of style, I recommend you to look at the works of "Kindaichi". Your opponent Edgar Allan Poe is also a good example. "

It is impossible for him to show Edogawa Ranpo a three-dimensional work. The sensitivity of the other party will definitely make him overturn immediately.

"So everyone is an idiot...they can't understand the novel written by Mr. Ranpo." The detective didn't know what to think, and he seemed a little discouraged.

"Don't hate the poor dear fool, Ranpo-kun, look at it with your mother's eyes.*" "Dante" said words of encouragement, "Isn't this something you have been used to all along?"

Then, the boy glanced at the sky outside the window, stood up in the distance with Yosano Akiko's vigilant eyes, and said goodbye to Edogawa Ranpo: "I am still looking forward to your work, please continue to write, I am waiting for you day of victory."

After speaking, he left, leaving behind the detective who was lost in thought and the remaining half table of desserts.

Akaeda actually didn't want to meet Edogawa Ranpo, he was always afraid of being picked up, let alone now that he had just finished his work?

But it would be a lie to say that he did not expect to be approached by the other party at all.

The mystery showdown was actually just a completely harmless game between Edgar Allan Poe and Ranpo, and the worst result was that Ranpo's self-esteem was damaged.This can be seen just by looking at the reactions of other members of the detective agency.So whether "Dante" will "encounter" Ranpo somewhere in the end depends on how much Ranpo cares about the defeat of the mystery duel.

Facts have shown that Luanbu still cares a lot.

This possibility only ranked third in the plan made by Akaeda.

There are also several countermeasures.

Completely deny it and avoid chaos from now on.Hilariously cover up the past and continue to stay out of it.Partially acknowledge and deepen the connection with Ranpo.

The last option is the riskiest.Giving a lot of information in front of Ranpo can also arouse the suspicion of another person.

But the benefits are also visible to the naked eye.Officially joining the detective agency line, it can not only stimulate the draft of the chaos step, but also open a window for Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu in advance.

The last point is the real reason why Chizhi chose this plan.

Of course, he doesn't need to do too much, because if necessary, Osamu Dazai's enthusiasm will naturally be very high.

Thinking in my mind how to explain "Dante" will ignore Oda Sakunosuke, and Akae, who opened a new Edogawa Ranpo Line, finally decided to break the pot and directly regard the works of this mystery novel confrontation as a plot novel Case, let Oda analyze the gains and losses of the two.

In Lupin the next day, he noticed that the young poet's recent whereabouts and contacts were very suspicious. Dazai Osamu, who was about to remind his friends of this, heard Oda Sakunosuke quite naturally mentioning the "homework" assigned by the "little editor", and was very excited. When Ango got up, he fell into a heated discussion, and couldn't help showing dead fish eyes.

Ah...a mystery novel?Dazai, who was rarely able to get in his mouth, decided to read the two masterpieces when he went back.
