Chapter 32: Ming Shen Yong Yong 08

The invisible prisoner.

Does “Famous Detective” refer to a supernatural being with the power of invisibility, or a cursed spirit?

If it is a person with special abilities, he will conduct an investigation and identification; if it is a cursed spirit, he will ask Gojo Satoru to solve the problem.

However, the possibility that this stranger was talking nonsense cannot be ruled out.

Xingye Wang looked carefully at the young man's face. His lips were tightly drawn and his brows were slightly wrinkled. When he mentioned the word "invisible", he puffed up his face childishly. His green eyes were like clear lake water, and there was no malicious cunning in them.

It doesn't look like he's talking nonsense, so his behavior of approaching me is very intriguing.

When facing a fierce criminal, if you want to seek help and subdue the criminal, the first choice should be a tall man - such as Gojo Satoru, rather than the gentle and elegant Raiden Shin.

This shows that the young man knows him and knows that he has enough power to solve the problem.

"Can I know the detective's name?"

"Edogawa Ranpo, what about you?"

"My name is Raiden Shin," she smiled, "Ranbu-kun, do you know any other information about the criminal?"

"You'll know if you go out and take a look." Edogawa Ranpo said surprisingly, with a look on his face that said "If it were you, it would be easy to solve."

"Gojo-kun," Raiden Shin called out, "Do you feel anything?"

Gojo Satoru had just finished paying. He said, "Let's go check it out," and went out with a few bags. When Raiden Shin and Edogawa came out, he turned around and smiled, "I found it."

"Is it a cursed spirit?"

"Yes, Xiaozhen, you should just stay at the back," Gojo Satoru said, "I'll catch you and play with you."

After saying that, his figure disappeared in an instant, but the next second, he appeared in front of the two of them again.

Gojo Satoru stuffed the bag into Raiden Shin's arms: "Take good care of them for me! Come back soon!"

Raiden Shin: “…Okay.”

By the time he said "OK", Gojo Satoru had already disappeared. Raiden was really at a loss as to whether to laugh or cry, and held the bag tightly in his hand.

Only she and Edogawa Ranpo were left at the scene. Raiden Shin was a little surprised and asked, "Since Ranpo-kun can't see the cursed spirits, how did he find out that there were cursed spirits nearby?"

"You'll know at a glance."

"You mean, we can infer it from other traces?"

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, and Raiden Shin was about to ask him indirectly whether he knew her, but before she could say anything, a familiar voice interrupted her.

"Mr. Ranbu - where are you -"

The white-haired boy turned the corner and looked around in panic. Edogawa Ranpo waved his hand. When he saw him, his golden-purple eyes lit up instantly: "Mr. Ranpo! I finally found you!"

It turned out to be Nakajima Atsushi.

Raiden Shin turned his gaze back to Edogawa Ranpo.

The famous detective and the Armed Detective Agency... So that's how it is. He is also a member of the Detective Agency.

Since using the Thunder God vest, Hoshino Nozomi has been mainly active in the world of sorcery. Among the people he met while using the Wind God vest, he has only contacted Nakahara Chuuya.

Edogawa Ranpo cannot see cursed spirits and is not a psychic or a sorcerer. He should not have heard of the existence of the "Thunder Movie". Was it his on-the-spot deduction or some other source of information, or did Nakahara Chuuya tell them?

Raiden Shin: “Is this your companion?”

As he was talking, Nakajima Atsushi came running over: "Mr. Ranpo, there is also this one..."

Raiden Shin repeated his name again, and Nakajima Atsushi quickly gave his name. However, Edogawa Ranpo put one hand on his shoulder, and his jade-like eyes looked straight into Raiden Shin's eyes: "You ask even though you know the answer. You clearly know Atsushi."

Facing his straightforward questioning, Raiden Zhen's smile was still as graceful and beautiful as a flower. Her eyes were gentle and her tone was as gentle as the breeze: "Is this also the result of Ranpo-kun's reasoning?"

She did not deny it, but she also did not admit it outright.

"Of course." Edogawa Ranpo did not waver in his thoughts.

When Nakajima Atsushi appeared, Raiden's eyes froze for a moment. Although it was fleeting, Edogawa Ranpo still noticed this detail.

This was an unexpected performance, as Raiden really knew Nakajima Atsushi and was surprised by his arrival.

She knew that Nakajima Atsushi was supposed to be in Yokohama.

The detective agency received a commission from Tokyo a few days ago. Edogawa Ranpo originally wanted to find a free member to go with him, but last night the detective agency received a call from Dazai Osamu, who was tracking the "demon" in Italy and told him new news:

Wendy failed to successfully recover the special item taken by Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.

The person who took over the boy's responsibilities appeared in Tokyo, a woman named Raiden.

Finally, Dazai Osamu suggested that he bring Nakajima Atsushi with him.

So Ranpo Edogawa brought the unsettled Nakajima Atsushi to Tokyo and solved the commission in a few words.

They came to this commercial street, and the directionless Edogawa Ranpo got separated from Nakajima Atsushi and was attracted into a dessert shop, and then luckily saw the Raiden movie.

...but she calls herself Raiden Shin.

Is it a fake name? If it is a fake name, why would she lie...

No, it's not a pseudonym. She doesn't know herself, so there's no need to lie. And the man surnamed Gojo didn't react to this name, which means he also recognized her name as Raiden Makoto.

Was Dazai's message wrong? That's not right. After all, she and Wendy had the same goal and needed to hide the same things, which obviously did not include the name option. Even if they wanted to hide their real names, they shouldn't have chosen a pseudonym that was extremely similar.

Two people appeared? Judging from their names, they should be sisters or something like that.

If you think about it carefully, when Gojo was facing the cursed spirits, telling her to "just stay back" was an acknowledgement that she was not good at fighting - at least she couldn't deal with the cursed spirits that Gojo had discovered.

But Raiden really brought a katana, so he must be a martial arts man.

With the precedent of Wendy, the successor could not be much weaker than him, so there was only one truth - she was a rare dual personality, and the one who was not good at fighting.

"Ms. Shin, are you the main personality or the secondary personality?" asked Ranpo Edogawa.

Nakajima Atsushi was confused by what he heard.

Lei Dianzhen didn't give a direct answer, but cleverly diverted his attention elsewhere: "You are really smart, you are worthy of being a detective."

In just a few words, she could tell that this man was a "child" with a strong desire to perform. Sure enough, as soon as the compliments came out, Edogawa Ranpo nodded proudly and put the question behind him.

Edogawa Ranpo: "I am the world's number one detective with a special ability [super reasoning]—"

"You're not a psychic at all, are you? Are you just cosplaying?" Gojo Satoru suddenly appeared and interrupted him.

Nakajima Atsushi: “!!!” This man said it!

It's no secret in the detective agency that Ranpo Edogawa actually has no special abilities, but as the "darling" of the agency, everyone is willing to listen to him.

Ranpo Edogawa is stuck.

Raiden said helplessly: "...Gojo-kun, at this time, just keep talking."

"Why?" Gojo Satoru bent down and approached Edogawa Ranpo, "Are you crying?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "How can I cry?"

"Okay," Raiden Shin tried to smooth things over, her eyes falling on the round object in Gojo Satoru's hand, "Which cursed spirit is this?"

What Gojo Satoru was holding in his hand was something that looked like a pot. When Gojo Satoru turned it over, Raiden Shin discovered that there was an eye on it.

The eyes that almost took up half of his face were rolling their eyes. The cursed spirit gnashed its teeth, wishing it could bite Gojo Satoru right away: "Asshole! What on earth do you want to do!"

"Gojo-kun left his head on purpose. Is there any purpose for that?" Raiden asked.

"There is something."

Gojo Satoru pinched the Curse Spirit's head with his hand, thinking about how to make her voluntarily change back to her Shadow personality without Raiden Shin noticing.

Raiden seemed to read his thoughts from his pause of a few seconds: "I understand. It seems that I can't help Gojo-kun."

"Then let Ying come. As for what you two have hidden from me together, we'll talk about it later." Lei Dianzhen said lightly, but the curve of her mouth was so shallow that it was almost invisible. Her good upbringing made her unwilling to be angry in front of others, so she could only suppress herself.

Ah, I'm exposed, Gojo Satoru thought.

He lifted the head of the cursed spirit in front of him and said with a smile, "I hope Ying won't be angry with you."

Louhu: “???”
