My Bungo system is a little different

Near the prefectural border of Gunma and Nagano prefectures.

There is a water well in the transition zone between barren fields and forests.

Not far from the front of the well, there is a small river flowing across the slope and through the field, and behind it is a simple crossroad made of loess.

Three people surrounded the well.

The two with the hats weren't actually that close to the well either.

The one with the sunglasses in addition to the hat is taller, and he seems to have just arrived here not long ago.

"Has the code been unlocked?" He lowered his head and asked the shorter one next to him.

"You can see it at a glance. ISBN, "The Selfish Gene." The shorter one squinted and lifted the phone screen directly.

The two talking were Ayatsuji pedestrians and Edogawa Ranpo, and those who stayed by the well were members of the Armed Detective Agency who accompanied Ranpo.

"Water wells, river banks and crossroads, I thought he was so wicked." Ayatsuji looked up the content of the book in general, and his tongue never forgot, "Is the result completely packaged? Is it going to be spread in an unconventional way?" His 'selfish gene'?"

Ranpo tried to block the excessive sunlight with his hands, but in vain, he got under the shadow created by Ayatsuji's body, and replied casually: "I always feel that guy's motives are boring, I have no urge to delve into it at all. .By the way, how did the meeting go?"

"It's a little bit unexpected. At first glance, he is a fully qualified investigator. His memory and emotions are not fake. The performance is so perfect that even I almost hid it. It turns out that there is iron evidence that can prove that he is the former prisoner on the prison island. The escaped prisoner is really an undeserved failure.*" said the blond detective with folded arms.

The two sighed together at the well not far away.

Judging from their insight and the clues they have searched so far, Kyogoku Xiayan, the black hand who has been hiding behind the scenes all year round and instigating crimes, did not suddenly have a brain twitch recently and made a lot of mistakes, but a third-party force beat him up. He didn't react in time, so he showed his flaws in front of the stage.

"The data that the detective agency can find shows that a month ago, the spread of the well that prayed for evil and other similar urban legends suddenly increased sharply, and the source is unknown." Edogawa Ranpo stated without any emotion.

In other words, someone deliberately created bait to catch them - detectives were used.

And this "good-hearted man" with an unknown purpose escaped with one blow and has not left any other traces until now. I don't know where the real body is gloating.

The quotation marks for "good-hearted people" are because of this way of making troubles, and it doesn't seem like some red party is secretly doing good things, but it's closer to black eating black.

The two detectives were a little slack after they figured this out. Even though they had skipped steps and directly targeted Natsuhiko Kyogoku, they had no motivation to complete the reasoning——solving the case is not a proof problem, and no process is required until the reasoning is completed. Meticulous, but in the end it still depends on complete evidence to link the case.

And a criminal planner like Kyogoku Xiayan who never takes action himself, who doesn't know whether it is direct brainwashing with supernatural powers or controlling a bunch of tool people with his words, has to find connections in the cases that spread all over the country and span an extremely long timeline. The man himself, and the weight of the evidence, is definitely a horrific workload.

"Are you going to meet him? I'll forget it." Ranbu asked without motivation.Ever since he was slapped by Fukuzawa Yukichi in a personal test, he has 'learned' to value his own safety, after all, he is just a rookie with a fighting power of 0.5 goose.

"Since he invited me, he should be rewarded. Besides, if he misses this opportunity, he will be destined for life." The corner of Ayatsuji pedestrian's mouth curved into a sarcasm.

After speaking, he dialed someone's phone.

The next morning, Kyogoku House.

Kyogoku Natsuhiko, who heard the doorbell, walked slowly to open the door without showing any panic while thinking 'here we are at last'.

He glanced out of the door mirror before opening the door.

very good.It's Ayatsuji pedestrian.

And there was no one else but the blond detective.

The gray-haired old man opened the door with a kind smile, and asked the detective at the door: "What can I do, Ayatsuji-kun?"

He called the other party by their last name directly to show that this visit was also expected.

The young man he called Ayatsuji-kun showed a disgusted expression, stepped back half a step in displeasure, and walked straight into Kyogoku Natsuhiko's residence.

The older party seemed not to feel offended by the other party's disrespectful behavior at all, and closed the door after the other party entered the room without any anger, then returned to the living room, and sat down opposite the young man who had already taken his seat.

"It's really good that you will come to visit me, Ayatsuji-kun. You must have come prepared." Kyogoku's tone was a kind of frivolous pleasure.

"Ready?" Ayatsuji raised his eyebrows lightly, "What, you think I'm here to confront you?"

Kyogoku Natsuhiko didn't answer, but just pursed his lips and smiled.

Deep displeasure appeared on the detective's face for a short while, and then he returned to calm in an instant.

Ayatsuji touched the cigarette pipe he carried with him, and said in a tone that usually exposes the truth in front of prisoners: "The disappearance of tourists on Jail Island was led by you behind the scenes, and the purpose is to let my supernatural power kill more than a dozen people in one go. Personally, being targeted by the government." He did not mention that the final case ended hastily.

"The ability to kill a murderer by accident is really terrifying. Ayatsuji Xingren, a detective who is more terrifying than a murderer, 'Murder Detective', doesn't this title suit you very well?" Kyogoku's answer revealed a sense of nonsense. It's a pity.

Hearing this, a terrifying chill suddenly rose around the detective.

"I understand your wishes for me." The words Ayatsuji spit out were accompanied by a breath colder than that of the dead, "Are you so willing to die under my ability?"

In the next moment, a smile appeared on the detective's face.

"I did not accept the commission," he said rather lightly.

The sorcerer's expression froze for a second.

The detective's smile deepened a little, and he repeated it happily: "I did not accept the commission."

"Neither Edogawa nor I were entrusted to investigate you and the cases you created. The two of us are just out of interest, and we just investigate casually."

There are restrictions on the effect of Ayatsuji pedestrian's ability.There are three conditions, one is that the prisoner has the intention to kill the victim.The second is solid evidence.The third is that someone entrusted Ayatsuji to solve the incident.

"You can understand the disgusting interest you have in me with your little finger. If you insist on challenging the ability that will kill you if you make a mistake, death is probably just a step you can accept. Ayatsuji pedestrians asserted unhurriedly, "I don't want to get involved in a fateful entanglement with a guy like you at all, so I directly canceled one of the conditions for "Another" to take effect, and I have no intention of continuing to investigate. "

The opponent who invited to enter the game expressly refused?

Kyogoku Natsuhiko's eyes darkened a little, and he said, "Let 'evil' go its own way? This is not what a detective should do, Ayatsuji-kun."

The accused detective didn't care much, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and sneered at the opposite side: "Since when did it become the detective's job to prevent such a thing? Or is Edogawa spoiling everyone?"

"Speaking of Edogawa," Ayatsuji pedestrian said as if suddenly remembering another detective, "You might as well count on him. Originally, he didn't want to waste his time, but when he went through the old case, he found out that you were also manipulating the Niutou incident. Now It seems that you are going to inherit the will of your parents and find concrete evidence to convict you."

"But before that, you should be taken away and imprisoned by the vicious special state agency as an 'innocent citizen'." The detective's ironic tone intensified several times when he said the words 'innocent citizen'.

After the detective finished speaking, he stood up and left, while the old man sitting opposite also looked calm and did not stop him.

After leaving the Kyogoku house, Ayatsuji pedestrians turned left and crossed two streets, stopped in front of a small bookstore, went to the upper second floor, and sat down opposite a middle-aged woman who was reading.

"Have you finished chatting with Kyogoku Natsuhiko?" The woman asked as she closed the books she was reading.

"That's right. Although it's unclear what his ultimate goal is, judging from his reaction, the plan requires a detective role, which is certain." Ayatsuji said in a low voice.

For a while, no one in the room continued to speak, and the other noises seemed to be absorbed by the books in the bookstore, making it even quieter.

"Do you really believe that the Supernatural Special Affairs Section can detain Kyogoku Natsuhiko? Haven't you confirmed that there are people under his control in the military, police and the Ministry of Justice?" The woman talking to Ayatsuji showed no worry on her face.

The blond young man looked away, and replied with some reluctance: "As a detective, it is natural to seek the truth, but it's fine to step into it knowing it's a trap. You don't want to explore the logic behind Kyogoku's actions, just to restrain the aliens." The condition of the ability is to imprison him as a super-dangerous supernatural power user, which is enough to cut off the chain of evil of that guy. As for the possibility of being controlled, I don’t think there is any more suitable place in China than the Supernatural Secret Service Department—you should Yes, there is an ability that can be used to distinguish, Ms. Tsujimura."

"We will not disappoint you and Detective Edogawa's efforts, please rest assured." Tsujimura Fukatsuki didn't say yes or no, but replied with a smile.
