Chapter 42 Don't Panic
The food that Ranpo Edogawa packed up and took away was really nothing to Moriogai, but after the three members of the Armed Detective Agency left, Ace did not continue to order.
Like Mori Ogai, he actually has no particular preference for desserts. Ace just has a preference for food, but in terms of the type of food, he still prefers meat. The rest is just curiosity about the taste of new food.
When Mori Ou ate outside, he savored the food slowly, but Ace ate with big mouthfuls. However, since the time between Ace's leaving and Luanbu's packing and leaving was not long, he did not eat much.
So Ace planned to go to a nearby barbecue restaurant for another meal.
After paying with his card, Ace started to wander along the street. He had been to most of the BBQ chicken and fried food shops on this street, and he was wondering whether to try a new shop or go to a shop that he had eaten at before and was sure was delicious. Of course, there was also the reason why Mori Ogai kept reminding him to digest the food before eating.
Of course, what Mori Ogai meant by walking to help digestion was probably really a way to help digestion for him, but for Ace...
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ace was holding a paper box of octopus balls in one hand and a taiyaki in the other. There was a wooden stick between the middle and ring fingers of the hand holding the taiyaki. In his mouth was a skewer that he had just finished showing off. He was vomiting into a trash can outside a convenience store on the roadside. Before he vomited, he asked, "Mr. Ougai, which one do you want to vomit?"
[The one on the far right, isn't it all painted on it?] Mori Ogai answered casually.
Although there are almost strict requirements for garbage classification in China, the situation in Yokohama is special. Even if you throw away garbage casually, it is rare for someone to come and catch you. The local police in Yokohama are rarely so serious and responsible. After all, they are weak. If they accidentally catch a gangster with special abilities and a conflict occurs, they may die.
The first time he saw Ace throwing garbage around, Mori Ougai just gave him a casual reminder.
After throwing a handful of skewers into the trash can, Ace walked into the convenience store and bought a bottle of fruit beer.
Ace bit open the bottle cap, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and let out a long breath.
Mori Ouwai sighed nonchalantly: [Can you open the bottle directly with your hands or find a tool next time? It's always like this and I feel like my teeth will become loose soon. ]
He is not even forty years old yet. If his teeth fell out so early, wouldn't it be too sad?
[Ah? But I always drove like this before? ]
Mori Ogai: [……]
[Yes, my teeth are weak.]

Suddenly, Ace said: [Mr. Ougai, look at that person, is he waiting for someone to pick him up?]
Sen Ou looked in the direction he was looking. He saw a man with a crew cut half leaning against a wall smoking. It was at the corner of the alley and the street lights couldn't reach in, so he could only vaguely see the man's movements but couldn't make out his expression.
He was smoking and kicking his feet in a seemingly irritable manner, indeed he looked like he was waiting for someone to approach him.
But if it was really what they guessed, then this person was really backward, wasn't he? With such a suspicious approach, were they afraid that others wouldn't suspect that they had problems?
Oh, this is Yokohama. Even if people see it, they will just stay away from it and call the police. No one will bother with it.
But when he thought of Ace's behavior, Moriogai became a little nervous again, [Hey, don't you want to...]
[Let's follow him and see what happens later, shall we?] Ace said excitedly.
Mori Ogai: [……]
He knew it, he knew Ace would definitely be interested in something like this that could be exciting!
If Mori Ougai tries his best to avoid being in dangerous situations, then Ace is chasing after danger!
Ace climbed up the wall in a few steps and crouched on the wall not far from the buzz-cut man. About half an hour later, after the buzz-cut man had finished smoking his second cigarette, a shorter and fatter bearded man came.
"How's it going? Have you sold all the goods?"
"Let me take a couple of puffs first." The bearded man rubbed his hands and lit a cigarette. He took two puffs and blew out a smoke ring before saying, "We've taken action, but we have to find a way to retreat before they find us."
The bearded man took out a handful of cash and handed it to him. "This is part of what I promised you. I'll give you the other part after we leave Yokohama."
"Tsk." The crew-haired man was shocked. "I found a black car driver who can take us to Shizuoka Prefecture. Then we can board the ship from the Shizuoka pier and avoid the blockade of the port mafia."
"Black car driver?" The bearded man frowned. "Is it safe?"
"Oh, there is no such thing as absolutely safe." The crew-haired man spat, "The goods all come from Tokyo. The inspection there is very strict, but the most intensive search is also in Tokyo. We originally wanted to go through Yokohama. This place is the most suitable for us to smuggle abroad. But I don't know what's wrong with that damn port mafia. They are obviously the mafia, but they still prohibit drugs, so we have to travel a long way through Shizuoka!"
The bearded man ignored his grumbling and asked directly, "Brother, I told you that I have five more people there. Is there enough space in the car you found?"
"We can get in if we squeeze in." The crew-haired man said in a breath that carried the smell of an unknown tobacco. "This matter is at the forefront of public opinion right now. It's good enough if we can find someone willing to give us a ride. That damned King of the Cang is really meddling in other people's business. We had a brother who had already contacted Yoshinaga Sugiura, but who knew that the King of the Cang would blow it up!"
"That's right." The bearded man sighed. "Have you found a driver and set a time and place? Let's get in the car and go back to pick them up. Phew, Yokohama is only good in this regard. The police are just for show. As long as we can avoid the port mafia, we'll be successful."
The buzz cut man checked the time and said, "We're almost there. Let's go to the alley entrance first."
Looking at the two people's backs, Mori Ouwai asked: [What are you going to do? Do you want to continue following? Or should we just let the black lizard come over and kill them? ]
Although these people allowed drugs to flow into the port mafia, which was basically equivalent to provoking Mori Owl who issued a drug ban, Mori Owl actually didn't take these homeless dogs very seriously, and letting Black Lizard come here was a sign of respect for them. For him, it was nothing more than seeing them and destroying them at his convenience.
But Ace's perspective was very unique. He asked: "Is there a bounty on these people's heads?"
Mori Ougai: […? ]
He said cautiously: "Maybe, if there is a big leader among them."
Ace immediately stood up: [If we capture them and send them to the navy or the police station, there will be a reward, right! ? ]
It is a traditional art for pirates to pretend to be pirate hunters and send the defeated enemies to the navy in exchange for bounties, right?
To put it another way, it is normal for the mafia to pretend to be ordinary, enthusiastic citizens and send criminals to the police station in exchange for a reward, isn't it?
Mori Ogai was shocked by his wonderful idea. He paused for a moment, thinking back to his financial situation of being short of money, and said solemnly: "You are right, let's follow them, round them up, and hand them over to the police station together. There should be some reward for that."
After all, this is a criminal gang. Even if there is no bounty on their heads, there should be some reward for catching a few at a time, right?
Mori Ougai easily succumbed to the dazzling light of money.
Ace followed the two men to a place not far from the alley entrance. Mori Ouwai was just about to ask him to take out the locator from the inside pocket of his windbreaker and try to put it on one of them, or throw it on the car that the two men mentioned when it arrived.
As a result, Ace took out a big beard from the outer pocket of his windbreaker and stuck it on his mouth, then took out a pair of funny sunglasses with sans eyeballs decorated on the corners of the frame from the chest pocket of his shirt and put them on his eyes, finally took out a big nose with a trough and put it on his nose, then walked towards the two men with big strides and a dignified manner.
Sen Ougai, who was about to speak, was blocked by his sudden movement, and the words were stuck in his throat.
...What are you doing! ?
The beard, sunglasses and other miscellaneous things were all bought by Ace when he went out for a stroll last time. At that time, Mori Ouwai thought that they were not worth much money anyway, so he just bought them for the child to play with. After all, the world is different. Ace may just think that those little gadgets are fun, and Mori Ouwai didn't think there was anything wrong with them, as long as he played with them alone and didn't wear them in front of acquaintances or subordinates.
But now, he just walked out with this thing!
Like a sand sculpture!
Mori Ougai refused to think about how silly his face looked. He wanted to say something to stop them, but he didn't know what to say to stop them. While he was thinking about this, Ace had already walked up to them under the two men's vigilant and weird gazes.
Mori Ou Wai: ...Don't panic, don't panic, others don't know I'm Mori Ou Wai :)
If these people knew about this...
Mori Owl showed a gloomy face.
…Then just shut up :)
Ace walked up to the two people, as if he was cast in the shadow of a villain and a filter of the mastermind behind the scenes, and spoke grimly: "Hey, I heard everything you said just now."
The man with the crew cut and the bearded man became visibly nervous. They obviously had guns on them, because both of them subconsciously made a move as if they were about to draw their guns, with their hands on their waists.
Mori Ouwai was confused: What is the purpose of this?
According to Mori Ou Wai's IQ, it would be easy for him to figure out what a person wants to do next, but Sha Diao is different. Sha Diao always has one, two, three, or four steps beyond his calculations. So now Mori Ou Wai has basically given up on treatment.
Whenever Ace did something that was unexpected and incompetent, Moriogai no longer wanted to use his brain. The more he used his brain, the more blocked it felt. He might even be suffering from a cerebral thrombosis.
Maybe it was because Ace's aura was not simple at first glance, so these two people did not act rashly. Even though the opponent's attire above the neck was very silly and gaudy, who could guarantee that those big guys didn't have some strange quirks?
Rather, it is those big guys who have all kinds of incomprehensible quirks!
The bearded man swallowed his saliva, stared at him nervously and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do!?"
Ace raised the corner of his mouth and smiled wickedly, which made his weird face look even funnier.
"Nothing, I just wanted to take a ride with you guys."
