Chapter 33



The size of the Armed Detective Agency is quite small when compared with other organizations, not to mention foreign ones, even if it is compared with Yokohama.

Even if the pure fighting power of the detective agency is not much, it does not mean that the detective agency is weak. The detective agency is small but elite, with a doctor who can treat all external injuries, two script masters who can almost be regarded as seeing the future, excellent leaders, and members with their own characteristics who can be used in various aspects.

So after the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia cooperate to solve the existence of the non-human (or non-supernatural) being, there will be basically no big problem in the subsequent direction of this combination.

This is indeed the case. The group eventually planned to burn down the city of Yokohama, but was defeated by the organizations belonging to the city of Yokohama.

At the end of everything, the detective agency had to face a reconstruction, but they were very skilled in their work. They had fought against the port mafia before the group was formed. It was just a repair of the detective agency, which was not a big deal.

Therefore, Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo finally found time to confirm Tokinoshi's lost memory.

- To be precise, they actually had a lot of time to review the script, but because they didn't get the key intelligence, they kept dragging it until now.

This time, Dazai Osamu went out not only to deal with the group and the port mafia, he took the opportunity to steal a lot of information from the port mafia during this crisis. He

also did quite a lot of things in the chaos.

Thanks to Dazai Osamu's source of information, Edogawa Ranpo has basically confirmed the lost memory of "another self".

However-"Mr. Ranpo, you look quite happy?"

Dazai Osamu was a little surprised at the performance of the only real detective in the detective agency at this moment.

Edogawa Ranpo can deduce the past, so can Dazai Osamu. However, compared to Edogawa Ranpo who directly locked the answer through clues, Dazai Osamu's reasoning method is more inclined to human nature.

But with different reasoning methods, their answers are basically the same.

The lost memory was by no means a beautiful one. On the contrary, it was a terrible past.

"Because I encountered something that made me happy." Edogawa Ranpo answered with a matter-of-fact attitude.

Edogawa Ranpo has never been a pessimistic person. In fact, he is very good at focusing on looking forward. You can't regret what has happened, so you need to work hard to change it in the future.

- Just like the "future" that Tokiwa saw.

As long as important people still exist and his goals have not disappeared, Edogawa Ranpo will always be the best detective.

Although he always behaves like a willful child, no one can deny Mr. Ranpo's reliability and the sense of security he brings to others.

As long as Mr. Ranpo is there, there is no difficulty to be afraid of.

Because everyone believes that their Mr. Ranpo can solve Fukuchi Sakura's stupidity, and that their Mr. Ranpo can get them out of trouble. So even if he knows that he has no special abilities and that this may be difficult, Mr. Ranpo will still work hard for it.

- Well, although the "present" has been changed, this "future" may not appear again.

So, the other self is the same.

Edogawa Ranpo can see through the whole world, but he may not be able to understand himself or understand himself easily. It's like he will believe that his innate reasoning ability is a special ability because of Fukuzawa Yukichi.

In fact, it is only now, after experiencing this incident, that he has a deeper understanding of the existence of his other self.

After all, the current Tokidoshi is not capable of fully playing the role of Edogawa Ranpo. Because he is not familiar with the job, although he will let himself be the main body of the vest, the "Tokidoshi intensity" he shows is particularly high (compared to before).

Last time in the if world, because the time was short enough and he slept for most of the time, the "pollution" brought by Dazai Osamu's vest made it difficult for Tokidoshi to show his true nature. Instead, he was severely suppressed, causing the psychological shadow of conditioned reflex after seeing Dazai Osamu in this world for the first time.

This is also the reason why Mori Ogai and Nakajima Atsushi of if confirmed that he was "Dazai Osamu".

In this world, it was okay at first, but as time went on, Tokidoshi exposed a lot of things.

He is not good at acting, and he relies on instinct to control the vest. He has no memory, and the file only has a general direction, which he needs to reason by himself. It can be said that he started with a vest, and the rest depends on guessing.

Because of his own relationship, Edogawa Ranpo substituted himself into the other party, and then used his own reasoning ability to roughly judge Tokiwu's personality and thoughts.

It cannot be said to be wrong, but because of the fact that "substituting oneself", it will more or less produce the idea of ​​"what would I do if it were me".

Edogawa Ranpo and the Edogawa Ranpo shown by Tokiwu have a very high degree of similarity, just like when Tokiwu doesn't know what to do, he will rely on instinct. And the vest was created based on this Edogawa Ranpo as a template.

This also resulted in that, except for the time when Tokiwa was daydreaming, the two of them were in sync, with almost no difference.

This mistake also deepened Edogawa Ranpo's feelings about this point, and the other party's love of daydreaming could be explained by amnesia. It's not that he didn't notice the incongruity and deviation, but he didn't pay special attention to it because of the above relationship.

He also believed that the differences shown by Tokiwa were changes caused by bad memories in the past.

Until now.

"Experience will change a person's character, just like when a person experiences a big change, his personality and behavior patterns will change greatly." Edogawa Ranpo looked at Dazai Osamu, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side with an expression that couldn't be seen.

"He has lost his memory." Edogawa Ranpo repeated this information that they all knew.

"And everything he showed was almost the same as me. I thought it was because of amnesia, because he lost the memory of the bad past, so he 'recovered'."

The detective from the detective agency raised his mouth with a strong confidence: "But I realized that no matter how bad the past was, even if he recovers his memory now, he will not change at all."

"Those worries are unnecessary. He will not let his past make him unable to get out of the present!"

"The individuals in each world are different. No matter how much he looks like me, he will not be the 'Ranpo Edogawa' of this world."

"He is just him."

Edogawa Ranpo's clear and clean green eyes seemed to be glowing and sparkling at this moment, "Isn't it natural that he and I are different?"

"Even if he was influenced by 'Dazai Osamu', I don't need to worry at all!"

So what if he occasionally appears gloomy? Even if the past was tragic? He can't use his template of Edogawa Ranpo to ask Edogawa Ranpo in another world to do what he should do.

Even if the other self is a bad person (of course this is impossible), it is definitely the path he chose. He has people he wants to protect and the world he wants to protect.

"Don't treat him as a child."

In the eyes of the other self, there is no one in this world who can make him act coquettishly, so he is no longer a child.

The other self is already a mature adult who tries to protect everyone!

"Before, everyone in the detective agency chose not to tell him about the memories that Ishikawa saw, just because they were worried that the negative memories would overwhelm him and make him unable to bear it." Edogawa Ranpo raised his lips: "But this is the least to worry about."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if we tell him everything now!"

Dazai Osamu listened to Edogawa Ranpo's words quietly, and his attitude was still exceptionally calm. Dazai Osamu is best at dissecting human nature, but in a sense, he is also the most difficult to trust these personalities.

At this time, Dazai Osamu just asked: "Should we tell him?"

"It's up to you. If you think you can tell him, just tell him." Edogawa Ranpo seemed very casual about this matter. The way of exchanging scripts between the two script groups had already ended in this incomprehensible conversation in the eyes of ordinary people.

Hearing this, Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Huh? Mr. Ranpo, you're not going to tell me?"

"It's his business that he has recovered his memory, and I don't want to tell him. I want to make him happy. Is there any problem?" Edogawa Ranpo looked at Dazai Osamu with a puzzled expression, "Once his memory has recovered, he will definitely not play with me so relaxed."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Most people cannot understand the world in Edogawa Ranpo's eyes. Even Dazai Osamu can only understand part of it. He will try to guess how Edogawa Ranpo determined the answer when conducting the police's commission. Edogawa

Ranpo snorted happily, with a proud expression on his face that "Dazai, you won't understand."

"He made an agreement with me. He said he was not in a hurry. He said if it would make me unhappy, then I should wait."

"I still want to put together many colorful and beautiful puzzles with him!"

Seeing that Dazai Osamu was not going to answer, Edogawa Ranpo did not care much. Instead, he stretched and said the most important thing about the intelligence this time.

"I will find a way to mention it to the president about that guy."

- Fukuchi Sakurachi, the president's childhood friend and the person the president trusts the most.

Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his face a little unhappily. The person he least wanted to doubt was Fukuchi Sakurachi.

Because this meant that he was going to deny the president's judgment. Moreover, that old man was very strong. If he was an enemy, it would really lead to a very bad situation.

The most important thing for Edogawa Ranpo is that if this is really the case, the president will definitely be very sad.

Edogawa Ranpo pointed his finger at the information about Fukuchi Sakurachi that Dazai Osamu gave him, and looked at the information about vampires and the data about hounds - the organization that needs to rely on human experiments to become powerful - and his voice became much lower.

"It feels so troublesome."

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: Raise a paw as an appearance.
