Chapter 41: Ming Shen Yong Eternal 17

What is certain now is that Lei Dianying learned of his existence through Wendy. In addition, she must have learned many other things from the boy.

Their intelligence is common.

Therefore, if someone is too smart and wants to take advantage of the so-called "information gap", he will only end up in trouble.

Of course, Ango Sakaguchi did not overestimate his own abilities to such an extent.

Did Ray Film choose him to be in charge of this matter just because he had worked with Wendy and knew more inside information than others?

At this moment, Ray said, "I believe Sakaguchi-kun can do this well."

The pair of light purple eyes stared at him, neither dodging nor retreating. Lei Dianying was calm and composed, as if he was sure that he would accept it and do it well.

Her tone was so matter-of-fact that Sakaguchi Ango's mind went through many twists and turns before he finally figured it out.

It’s not because of “familiarity”, but because of “calculation”.

Both Ray Denying and Wendy knew that he was investigating on orders. Even if Sakaguchi Ango was not sure whether this commission was related to what he wanted to find out, he would definitely do his best to avoid any mistakes and even do better than expected.

What's more...Wendy once saved his life.

Sakaguchi Ango wanted to sigh.

His psychology was completely controlled.

"Thank you, Zhang Ai. I will do my best. Sir, just leave this matter to me." Sakaguchi Ango nodded.

Xingye Wang didn't show it on his face, but he was relieved in his heart.

When he saw Taneda Santoka, Hoshino Nozomi immediately chose a candidate. With the relationship with Wendy, Sakaguchi Ango was the most suitable person.

What's more, in the entire Special Forces Division, he only knew Ango Sakaguchi.

Ray Movie: "Thank you."

Taneda Santouki: "Thank you for your hard work, Ango-kun."

A smile broke out on Officer Taneda's face, and his gratified eyes seemed to say, "You are worthy of being the model worker of our Special Power Special Agent Department. I was right about you."

Ango Sakaguchi took a deep look at the barren head of the farming chief.

"Ahem..." Perhaps because Sakaguchi Ango's gaze was too resentful, Chief Taneda touched his head uncomfortably, "In that case, let me introduce the mission."

He had already listened to what Ray had said before Sakaguchi Ango arrived. His account was impeccable, and he had explained the whole story and the requirements in just a few sentences - of course, he had not revealed any information that the government was really concerned about.

Just like Ango said before, they were extremely cautious about this and would not reveal any information easily.

Fortunately, Taneda Santouhuo did not expect Lei Dianying to tell him without any precautions. He pushed his glasses and recounted the story concisely.

After listening to this, Sakaguchi Ango glanced at the remaining three people.

He already knew the purpose of Raiden's trip. As for Gojo Satoru... he was working at the Jujutsu High School and Raiden was temporarily staying at the high school, so it was normal for the two of them to travel together.

At this moment, in the reception room, only Ranpo Edogawa, who was busy eating snacks, seemed a little out of place.

Sakaguchi Ango knew his abilities, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Did Ranpo Edogawa see something? How did he convince Ray to go along?

Edogawa raised his eyes randomly, and the moment their eyes met, he shook his head slightly. The movement was so subtle that if you didn't observe it carefully, you would definitely miss it.

He picked up the teacup and stared at the light-colored tea, concentrating as if he was reasoning about a difficult case.

Yesterday, Lei Movie approached him.

She obviously knew the connection between the Detective Agency and the Special Powers Division. Raiden Ying had just rescued them from the cursed spirits, so Edogawa Ranpo naturally had no reason to refuse.

He asked the president to contact the chief of the farming industry, and eventually found Sakaguchi Ango.

As for why Nakajima Atsushi was "persuaded" to return to the detective agency afterwards, and why he was able to continue following Ray's movies...it was actually just because of two sentences.

First, if things don't go well, he can use his world-class brain, which was praised by Raiden Zhen, to deduce the reasons and solutions.

The second sentence is, if it was really Raiden, he would definitely not reject him.

As soon as the words came out, Raidenying was visibly stunned. She seemed to want to refute subconsciously, and her lips moved slightly, but in the end she said nothing and tacitly agreed for him to go with her.

To be honest, the time that Edogawa Ranpo and Raiden Shin had contact was very short, they only met once in a snack shop on Changdashi. But in Edogawa Ranpo's eyes, for many things, just one look is enough.

For example, Raiden is very aware of her own strengths and weaknesses, so she calmly accepts Gojo Satoru's protection in terms of force, and instead tries to test each other with her by practicing Tai Chi.

Even though he pointed out some hidden secrets, Raiden Zhen remained calm and composed, and was not stingy with praise. If it was Raiden Yingying... I'm afraid he would have been given a cold warning like he was in the restaurant's private room.

The two of them have completely different ways of dealing with things. Raiden-jin is more flexible and never refuses help that is beneficial to her. As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, she can tolerate other people's small selfishness. Raiden-ying, on the other hand, is a bit stubborn and prefers to be alone. She will never ask a second person for help if she can solve the problem herself.

Edogawa Ranpo was certain that if Gojo Satoru had not never delved into the truth, the two of them would never have been able to live in peace until now.

But at the same time, Edogawa Ranpo also understood that although Raiden allowed him to go with him, it did not mean that he was allowed to continue to blatantly inquire about the news. Whether he could obtain other useful information depended on whether he could deduce the correct answer from the details.

He was not very close to Sakaguchi Ango, but Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango had known each other for many years, so Edogawa Ranpo still reminded him - don't talk nonsense.

"This is related to public safety. I hope to find him as soon as possible." The clear voice attracted everyone's attention, but Raikage's eyes glanced at Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru smiled and said, "It is time for this farce to end."

His smile was the same as usual, still familiar and unbridled, but Lei Dianying didn't feel that he was really unmoved.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come with me.

"Wait for me..." Raidenying paused and changed the subject abruptly, "As for him, I won't do anything."

Edogawa Ranpo and Sakaguchi Ango both noticed what she hadn't said. Gojo Satoru held his forehead with one hand and whispered, "That's perfect."

Several people did not comment on Gojo Satoru's personal grudges and acquiesced to this process. After Taneda Santouki finished explaining the task, he claimed that he wanted to talk to Raikage alone.

Ray Movie: “Yes.”

Chief Taneda made a "please" gesture, and Sakaguchi Ango and Edogawa left in a hurry. Gojo Satoru also stood up. He just took a step forward and suddenly reacted: "Digging the wall?"

Taneda: "How could that be? I just wanted to discuss some things with Miss Ying and see if there is any chance for cooperation in the future."

"Isn't that just digging the wall?!"

Gojo Satoru held onto Raiden Ying's shoulders and shook him madly, "You can't agree to this, Xiao Ying! The three children at the technical secondary school are still waiting to have a reunion dinner with their mother. If they can't wait, they will cry! They will cry so hard that their lungs will be torn apart and their liver and intestines will be broken! You can't abandon the children, Xiao Ying!"

Ray Movie: “Hmm?”

Taneda's body trembled, his eyes trembled with shock: Could it be that Miss Ying is already a married mother of three children...

"...What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll cut you here." Lei Dianying silently tightened the naginata in his hand, and thunder immediately flashed on the blade, making crackling sounds.

Taneda reacted instantly and coughed embarrassedly.

Raidenying stood up suddenly, pushed Gojo Satoru out of the door in an unbearable manner, and slammed the door shut amidst the cries of "Wuwuwu, you can't agree to this!" and "Think about that who and that who and that who in high school" as well as the looks of "What are you doing?" from Sakaguchi Ango and Edogawa Ranpo.

"Never mind."

"Hmm... I've heard about the character of the head of the Gojo family before, but seeing is believing. Now that I see him, it's simply... hmm..."

"You see it now." Lei Dianying looked numb.

Despite this incident, Gojo Satoru is indeed a reliable adult male.

Generally speaking.

Generally speaking.

Taneda Santouko pushed up his glasses and got down to business: "We also understand your situation."

Before Lei Dianying could express his dissatisfaction, he came up with a reasonable excuse: "The Curse General Administration and the Special Powers Division are both under the government. Even if we don't deliberately inquire about your stay at the High School, it will sooner or later spread throughout the government departments."

"You can just say it."

Lei Dianying calmly interrupted the customary polite exchanges in official circles. If Lei Dian was really here, she might have the patience to accompany him in the back and forth polite exchanges, but Lei Dianying did not like these empty and flattering words. She preferred efficient communication.

"Well, let me be frank," Taneda's expression became serious, "Do you think the Curse Directorate is necessary?"

Lei Dianying looked up in surprise.

She thought that the topic of farming would still revolve around "forbidden knowledge", but she didn't expect that they would talk about this issue. She had heard from Edogawa Ranpo that the relationship between the two departments was not good. Could it be that he wanted to take over the general managerial department?

"In terms of the agency's functions, it is necessary," Raiden replied. "Spellcasters are like people with special abilities. Although they are a minority in society, they are more uncontrollable and can easily harm ordinary people. If they are not supervised, wouldn't that be treating people's lives as worthless?"

"If you take it, it means your government doesn't know how to run the country, and it's better for me to do it."

Farming: “…”

Dangerous words were spoken! Dangerous words were spoken in all seriousness!

When other people talked about this kind of thing, their tone or expression was mostly joking, but when Lei Dianying said this, there was no discomfort on her face, as if she had really been the head of a country and governed the country for hundreds of years.

Perhaps affected by her expression, Taneda took a deep breath and continued, "I agree with Miss Ying - I mean the need for supervision. The reason why the Special Powers Division and the Curse Directorate are supported by the government is also due to this consideration. However, in recent years, the group of people in the Directorate have been somewhat reckless."

“This isn’t just your idea.”

"Ms. Ying is smart and should have known our thoughts and concerns. I don't think you would split the back mountain of the Directorate General for no reason, right?"

Taneda stared at him from behind the lenses, as if she was certain that she had discovered some crucial evidence.

Xing Yewang: “…”

Is there a reason? Yes, but it is not sufficient.

He couldn't just tell Taneda that he was just upset after hearing what Gojo Satoru said about the bad things the General Manager's Office did, and he didn't want them to get too far in controlling him, so he split the mountain behind to scare them.

What Taneda wants is to be able to suppress the Directorate in a fair and open manner and seize the evidence of the cursed tool from it.

For so many years, the General Administration has relied on the fact that "superpowers cannot exorcise cursed spirits without the help of curse tools." If the Superpower Secret Service Department can get the curse tools and distribute them to their subordinate superpowers, I'm sure that group of people in the General Administration will no longer dare to be so arrogant and conceited.

Hoshino Nozomi thought carefully and realized that the high-ranking official who had colluded with Nozomi and whose memory he had extracted might have forgotten that he had handed over the Prison Gate Territory to Nozomi, but...

"Is there a reason? Of course there is," Lei Dianying said, "Wait until I get back the prison gate, and then you can let Sakaguchi Ango extract the memory from it, and you can get what you want."

Although the key transaction scene was erased, the two facts of "the senior management secretly took away the prison's territory" and "the prison's territory was taken away by a noose" were enough for the Special Powers Division.

Ray Movie: "I thought you were going to say something else."

"If possible, I really hope that Ms. Ying can cooperate with the government just like she cooperated with the college."

"No need. We will naturally take action for things that you cannot solve." Lei Dianying said, flicked his sleeves, and pushed the door open.

Farming heart sank.

The words from the Ray movie, translated, means "They only deal with enemies that humans cannot deal with."

To put it more bluntly, "a disaster is going to happen here."

Noose? Although a magician who has survived for a thousand years is a cause of fear, it is far from being "unsolvable".

Is the Thunder Movie referring to something else…?

*

Sakaguchi Ango and Edogawa Ranpo were nowhere to be seen, presumably they had gone to investigate the surveillance. Only Gojo Satoru was still squatting outside the door, and when he saw Raidenkage coming out, he immediately stood up.

"Xiaoying——"

"Okay, okay, I didn't agree, stop talking."

"Very good! I knew that Xiaoying couldn't bear to leave her family at the high school!" Gojo Satoru was deeply moved and wiped away his non-existent tears.

To be fair, Gojo Satoru is very handsome, and his handsomeness cannot be concealed even with an eye patch. Now that he has taken off the eye patch, even if he is pretending to cry, his crying is... very artistic.

Lei Dianying sighed helplessly: "Stop crying."

Despite the noise, her tense shoulders relaxed involuntarily. Lei Dianying turned and walked forward: "You will probably receive good news in a while."

Gojo Satoru immediately stopped pretending: "What what?"

"We'll know when the time comes."

"You're kidding me. How can you be sure it's good news for me if you don't tell me?"

“I think it’s good news.”

"'I think' doesn't count, does it?"

"Forget it. Let's go back to the college."

"Wow, are you some ancient tyrant? You're so cruel!"

*

As Edogawa Ranpo said, the investigation was not very smooth. Nozomi's anti-detection ability seemed to be very strong, or he might have some special means. In short, after several days of investigation and surveillance, only a few sporadic sightings of him were made.

Fortunately, they found their accomplice.

"Stop! Rewind a little!" Edogawa Ranpo approached the computer screen. On the slightly blurry picture, two girls who looked like high school students were leaning against each other. "Yes, that's right, it's them. They look like sisters."

Sakaguchi Ango: "Tell Ray the movie?"

"Of course!"
