Chapter 30



Dazai Osamu was taken away by Oda Sakunosuke, and Shiba and Nakahara Chuuya exchanged contact information and left the location separately.

Yokohama is not big, but it is not small either. There is a long distance between Leibo Street and the Armed Detective Agency. Without hurrying, Shibai slowly returned to the detective agency until the evening.

Because there is a detective in the detective agency who can see through the truth at a glance, no matter what Shibai does outside, Edogawa Ranpo will always know it at the first time. Even though he knows that Edogawa Ranpo will not say much, but for what happened today, Shibai doesn't know what to say.

After all, the detective agency is full of very good people, but I am thinking about escaping... It would be fine if we were not familiar with each other before, but doing this now, even if I don't care much about others, I feel a little guilty.

But even so, Shi Bai has already prepared to leave at any time. Putting aside his original goal, it is certain that he will be a legend in different worlds in the future, whether it takes a long time or a short time, but they will eventually part ways.

It's not that you can't build good relationships with people from another world, it's just that there's no need for that.

Shi Bai gently pushed open the door of the Armed Detective Agency. It was already after get off work at this time, so there should be no one inside.

Even though the number of people in the Detective Agency is small now, this organization is indeed a formal company. In addition to this office building, they naturally also have a building of employee dormitories. This was mentioned by Edogawa Ranpo, who said that there will definitely be more and more people in the future, and it is right to prepare for this kind of thing in advance.

Before the establishment of the detective agency, Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo completed quite a lot of commissions, including those from the military and wealthy people. Although Fukuzawa Yukichi would not take a penny more, they had saved a lot of money unknowingly.

If Yoshiya Akiko is willing to use her special ability, the ability to reshape broken limbs and heal any serious wound in an instant is a top healing ability that cannot be imagined by current human technology. Once the information about this special ability is released, people who are willing to spend a huge amount of money for treatment may line up from Yokohama to the top of Mount Fuji.

Of course, this kind of thing would not happen. After all, the purpose of bringing Xie Ye Akiko back to the detective agency was not to use her special abilities.

Originally, Fukuzawa Yukichi wanted to tidy up a room and give it to Shibai, but Shibai refused on the grounds that "he is not a member of the detective agency", and happily occupied the sofa in the office.

I also complained about this with Xie Ye Akiko.

——Normally, there should be no one here at this time.

Shibai turned on the light in the room with a look of helplessness, and said to Ranpo Edogawa, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and holding some snacks, "You really gave me a scare, Ranpo-san."

Edogawa Ranpo poured the last bit of snacks in his arms into his mouth and hummed incoherently: "Don't be ridiculous, you've already discovered me."

"Yes, yes - but I'd still be shocked if I really saw it." Shibai replied with a smile, and then he went to the water dispenser to pour two glasses of boiled water and placed them on the table. "Mr. Ranbu, it's so late, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Edogawa Ranpo paused for a moment, then said as if complaining: "If you have any questions, why don't you just come to the detective directly? Although it's just a boring problem that can be seen at a glance, if it's a member of the detective agency, Ranpo-sama won't mind wasting a little time!"

Shi Bai narrowed his eyes, "But I'm not an official member of the detective agency, right?"

Edogawa Ranpo slightly opened his slender eyes, and the emerald green color looked quite sharp under the light. "Whether you are a member of the detective agency is decided by me, the world's number one detective, Edogawa Ranpo! You can't simply refuse with just one word!"

Edogawa Ranpo said bluntly: "Why do you think the president and Yoshiya waited for us? Even I, Ranpo, know the unspoken rules of those companies. As long as the boss has not left work, the small staff below cannot leave immediately. This is the so-called [overtime]!"

The famous detective said a very common word that was totally inconsistent with him. Edogawa Ranpo said, "It's all unnecessary and boring work that is repeated every day. It's not completed in an instant. It can only show the uselessness of leaders and subordinates. But they have to do inexplicable superficial work. Something that can be done in a minute takes a whole night to show that 'I am serious and I work hard'. The world of those people is really confusing, eh?"

"But I don't need to understand this, because the president said that the reason why I can't understand those adults is because they are all stupid idiots!"

Although what Ranpo Edogawa said later was almost like a complaint that had nothing to do with what he said before, Shibai still understood what he meant. He pointed at himself in confusion and said, "That means I was..."

"Why do you think the president was so confident in letting you follow me!" Edogawa Ranbu stepped on the sofa and pointed at Shibai's nose, "From that moment on, the president has regarded you as a member of the detective agency!"

The Armed Detective Agency never looks at the past of its members. It is better to say that among the three people in the current detective agency, two of them have blood on their hands - one is for killing and the other is for saving.

However, past experiences are never everything about a person. As long as one wants to be on the side of "good" and makes efforts to do so, the detective agency will be willing to accept him/her.

Even though Shibai is a well-known blade in Hong Kong's underworld, with the presence of Edogawa Ranpo, from the very beginning, he has been pointing out the information that is on the surface and telling the number of people that Shibai has let go.

There is no legal way to define good and bad people, and perhaps his hands are indeed stained with the blood of many innocent people - but he has done everything he can, and you should know that he originally did not need to do these things. If he is accidentally discovered, then all he will face is revenge for the betrayer.

Ranpo Edogawa can be seen at a glance, and it is also through the clues that are exposed and ignored by ordinary people. So this means that it is also possible that it will be noticed by others.

Just these things that were shown to the detective agency were enough to prove that Tsurumaru Kuninaga was never a blade with an infamous reputation, but a god-created being with a human heart.

Even if you are born in darkness, your pure whiteness cannot be easily stained by dirt.

Shibai looked into Edogawa Ranpo's slender green eyes, and there was a hint of surprise between his eyebrows, and then they slowly softened. The golden pupils flowed with gentleness like water. Shibai smiled lightly, "This is really a shock."

Edogawa Ranpo tore open a new pack of snacks and sat down with his legs crossed. "Even if you are an idiot, you won't give up the opportunity to talk to a famous detective like me. Therefore, you are a hundred times, no, a thousand times more stupid than those idiots."

"Master Ranpo has been sitting here the whole time. If you had asked, this incident would have ended long ago! No matter what you are looking for, even if it is a deceased person, Master Ranpo can find it for you in an instant!"

"--That's why we can't involve the detective agency." Shibai interrupted Edogawa Ranpo.

The fact is just as Edogawa Ranpo said, as long as he is willing, not to mention the identity of Nakahara Chuuya and Arahato, all the series of problems behind it will be pulled out from the root like a connected vein.

For Edogawa Ranpo, this was something that was taken for granted.

However, this matter is actually related to the Port Mafia - not to mention whether the Detective Agency and Dr. Mori had any conflicts in the past, just based on Xie Ye Akiko's special ability and her PTSD-like reaction when she just heard the name of Mori Ogai, Shibai roughly guessed that their past was not interesting at all.

Once they are involved because of the relationship between Shibai and Dr. Mori, according to his character, he will definitely stir up trouble and benefit from it, and Xie Ye Akiko is likely to be hurt again.

Now that Dr. Mori has just become the leader, many things are piled up on him. Even if he wants to, he is powerless to do anything about the detective agency. However, the detective agency has taken the initiative to approach the territory of the Hong Kong underworld, and that is not an easy result to escape.

Moreover, the foundation of the Detective Agency is not strong enough, and it is unknown how they maintain the balance with Dr. Mori... After all, Dr. Mori was just the doctor of the leader of the Hong Kong underworld, and he could not easily attack the Detective Agency - because of this, this balance must not be disturbed for any reason. The means that Dr. Mori has now are not something that the Detective Agency can deal with.

After all, Shibai is not from this world and can leave at any time, but for those who truly live in this world, it is completely different.

Because he could leave at any time, Shi Bai never considered himself that important.

The air around Edogawa Ranpo turned cold after Shibai said that, and there seemed to be something in his slender eyes. Green is not a warm color, and a famous detective who can see through things at a glance is not a soft and easy to control existence.

Those eyes were rational and calm, like a machine that could see through humans. Edogawa Ranpo changed his previous attitude and even put the snacks in his hand in his arms without continuing to taste them.

"I won't hurt you, please reconsider it." Edogawa Ranpo said, and in a tone that sounded like an order, "When your next call rings, press the button to reject the call."

The slightly uncontrolled golden pupils were clear, and Shi Bai replied: "Please allow me to refuse this matter. After all, I have already made an appointment with him."

Edogawa Ranpo's face darkened, and he looked very unhappy. "Even if... you will die?"

"That should be the ending I deserve." Shi Bai met those beautiful green eyes and smiled.
