People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

Nakahara Chuya has not dealt with Edogawa Ranpo in the Armed Detective Agency many times, but it is obvious that the person in front of him is obviously different from the childish detective in the legend.

"...Edogawa Ranpo, but not the one from the Armed Detective Agency," Hoshino Yuu paused, and replied, "You can call Ranpo-sama Ranpo."

Hoshino Yuu seldom used the self-proclaimed 'Ranpo-sama', but he unconsciously said so in front of Nakahara Chuya, with a bit of arrogance and ease in his tone.This feeling of familiarity was also felt by Zhong Yuanzhong.

If it was Osamu Dazai here, then he would mostly climb along the pole with a smile on his face, but Chuya Nakahara is here.

Nakahara Nakaya hugged his chest and clicked his tongue lightly. He looked at Edogawa Ranpo who had an inexplicable attitude in front of him: "What's the matter with your attitude...? Do I know you very well?"

"You don't know Ranpo-sama, how could Ranpo-sama know you very well... Mr. Hat is really a super invincible idiot!" Hoshino Yu pinched the marble in his pocket with his fingertips , He suppressed his desire to say something.

After a moment of silence, he changed his words abruptly and said, "Anyway—this is not a place for you to come. If you don't want anything to happen, leave as soon as possible."

Looking at Edogawa Ranpo in front of him, Chuya Nakahara frowned.

"What do you mean? What do you know?"

Before he could figure out what was going on, Zhong Yuanzhong heard what Hoshino Yu said, and he asked suspiciously, "Is this really related to the disappearance case?"

"Of course Lord Ranpo knows everything." Hoshino Yu jumped off a slightly higher stone pier, and he found that Nakahara Chuya's figure seemed to tense for a moment.

Although Zhong Yuanzhong returned to normal soon, he still did not escape his observation.

"You want to find your missing member."

Hoshino Yuu puffed his cheeks indistinctly, and then he faced Nakahara Chuya's scrutinizing gaze and continued, "There's no need to look for him, he's already dead."

"What?! He's dead?"

Hoshino Yu replied: "Yes, he is dead. And if you insist on going in the back now......"

He pointed to the monster-like buildings behind Nakahara Nakaya, and said: "Mr. Namori will lose another useful cadre after losing a capable man."

Nakahara heard Edogawa Ranpo address Mori Ogai and frowned. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced in the direction Hoshino Yuu pointed: everything was silent behind him, and the buildings hidden in the darkness were silent. The ground stood there, and I didn't see anything wrong...

However, Nakahara Chuya's intuition about danger told him that the young man in front of him who called himself Edogawa Ranpo was right.

If you choose to go in now... Maybe something bad will really happen.

"Here—and you, what's going on?" Nakahara Naka also unabashedly looked up and down Edogawa Ranpo in front of him.

His gaze was fixed on Hoshino Yu's eyes: "You don't mean to tell me that there are two Edogawa Ranpo in the world?"

"Ah, it seems that Mr. Hat is not always an idiot."

"Damn it, what's the matter with your tone!"

Edogawa blinked in disorder, and he went straight to the side of Nakahara Chuya's locomotive.

Ignoring Nakahara Chuya's ferocious gaze, Hoshino Yuu sat behind the motorcycle seat without any notice.

"What are you doing—" Before Zhongyuan Zhongya rushed over aggressively and wanted to kick him off the motorcycle, Hoshino Yuu reached out and patted the seat in front of him, he looked up at the not-so-high Zhongyuan Zhongye : "Ranbu knows everything you want to ask, but Mr. Ranpo is hungry."

"You—" Nakahara Nakahara's gloved hands tightened and then loosened, seeing that Edogawa was just sitting on the back seat in a disorderly manner, and had no intention of causing damage, Nakahara Nakaya did not after all Just kick him down.

He looked down condescendingly at the young man in front of him who called himself Edogawa Ranpo, but his appearance was exactly the same as that detective's photo.

This Edogawa Ranpo's hair is also messy, and his clothes are dressed in the style of a port mafia...... Wait, this is it!

Now that they were getting closer, and the moonlight was shining again, Zhongya Zhongya could clearly see the appearance of Edogawa Ranpo's cloak.

Can't go wrong.

The cloak worn by Edogawa Ranpo - it was remade from the coat that Osamu Dazai wore most often before his defection

That one——the token given by Chief Mori when he brought the mackerel into the port of Mafia as the guide of Dazai.

The second Edogawa Ranpo who appeared inexplicably but was impossible, the coat that had been burned, and the strange name for the Mori chief... Nakahara Nakaya combined the disappearance case during this period...

From the point of view of this juncture, the sudden appearance and inexplicable closeness of 'Edogawa Ranpo' seems suspicious no matter how you look...

etc!Nakahara Chuya had a flash of inspiration: Could it be that this very strange 'Edogawa Ranpo' that appeared was the culprit of everything?

"Mr. Hat—"

The young man who called himself Edogawa Ranpo sat on the locomotive dangling his feet boredly, and he called Chuya Nakahara's attention with his drawn voice.Hoshino Yuu saw that Zhongyuan Zhong also gave him a look, and he patted the car seat in front of him more vigorously: "Master Ranbu's stomach is already growling with hunger."

A "well" character appeared on Zhongyuan Zhongye's forehead, and his attitude was so familiar that he seemed to be treating him as a nanny!

Nakahara has also heard that Ranpo Edogawa is in the Armed Detective Agency, so this counterfeit...

After hesitating again and again, Zhong Yuanzhong also suppressed the desire to hit someone, gritted his molars and asked, "It's fine to invite you to dinner, but after eating... you will tell me everything you know." tell me?"

"Then Ranpo-sama wants to eat a double-layer beef burger!"

"...Then sit down." Although he still had some concerns, in the end Nakahara Zhongya stepped into the car and started the locomotive.

Rather than wandering around in a dangerous and unknown area like a headless chicken, it is better to start with Edogawa Ranpo who obviously knows something.

——This Edogawa Ranpo, who is obviously not Edogawa Ranpo, is full of suspiciousness!

With a loud sound of locomotive starting, the locomotive started to move rapidly amidst a huge roar.

"Sit still." Zhong Yuanzhong also reminded, and then used gravity to assist, making the already fast locomotive gallop even faster.

The strong night wind blew the clothes of Hoshino Yuu and Nakahara Chuya flying, and the scenery beside the road quickly disappeared and receded.

Hoshino Yu sat on the back seat, with his arms around Nakahara Chuya's waist.

Zhong Yuanzhong also took him like this countless times after get off work, rushing to the izakaya or burger restaurant where he was not off work.

They would eat barbecue and chat together, and Zhong Yuanzhong would hold his face with a beer and watch him compete with the finished soda bottle.

But in the end, Chuu also smiled and held out his hand.

He would help him use supernatural powers to easily take out the marbles in the soda bottle, wash them and return them to him.

They also often play a game of betting on the color of marbles, and those who lose the bet have to work overtime for the other side for an hour.

Zhong Yuan only won once when he celebrated his birthday because of Yu Hoshino's intentional release of water, but he still enjoyed it: "If I win once, I still win, so there will always be a time when I win next time."

Hoshino Yuu wondered why he kept gambling when he could never win.

Mr. Hat always said indifferently: "... I'm used to punishment and so on."

Yes, get used to it.

Even if it wasn't because of the bet, Nakahara Nakahara, who had to take Hoshino Yuu to work with him, would often find ways to help Hoshino Yuu get off work and rest early when Hoshino Yuu was buried in various affairs, large and small.

Yu Hoshino is the heart, spinal cord, and brain of Port Mafia—but the more powerful and wise he is, the more chores will be assigned to him.

The consultant doesn't like to work, but this is his home, where there are Chuya and Mori Ogai.

——So even though he always shouted "Master Ranpo quit", Hoshino Yuu never really refused.

For a while, the situation was even outrageous. Even the menu styles of the hotels under the Mafia in the port, someone would first report and ask Hoshino Yu for suggestions.

Later, it was still in the Central Plains, and I couldn't stand it anymore.

He found the leader to maximize the energy of the brain—to ensure the accuracy of decision-making at critical moments, and helped Hoshino Yuu push away the work that could be assigned to other people.

This made 006 Yu Hoshino, who was working overtime non-stop, barely resumed his working hours from [-] am to [-] pm.

As for why Zhong Ye started to take him to and from get off work together........this has to start with Hoshino Yu's shortcomings.

The consultant of Mafia at the port is good at everything, and his work ability is first-class. He usually doesn’t show off his power in front of his subordinates, but he has a shortcoming that most people are familiar with. road idiot.

I don't know from which day, Zhong Yuanzhong is used to drop by when he is off work, and he will get lost after work and get lost in the advisor of the Takase Club. He doesn't want to get up in the middle of the night to rescue someone who got lost in some enemy base camp partner.

And then later.......

Hoshino Yuu's pupils dimmed for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

He turned his head and stared at the building ruins that were gradually shrinking away behind them, with an inexplicable expression.

Central Plains, who was focused on the journey, did not notice: Although the surrounding scenes hadn't changed in the slightest, they seemed to be covered with some kind of dark shadow, permeating with a strange atmosphere.

The fog that was so thick that it formed a nearly milky white entity suddenly became thinner at some point, and the dim moon quietly appeared in the night sky.

At the same time, under Hoshino Yu's gaze, the graceful silver moon in the sky slowly turned into a red moon exuding an ominous atmosphere, like scarlet blood flowing.

The familiar world seems to disappear at this moment, leaving a huge and silent void.

The whole world seemed dead silent at this moment.
