Before meeting the president, such a Sakura Fukuchi was definitely the most suitable person for "Ranpo Edogawa". Moreover, from the beginning, "the other him" did not show any familiarity with Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Fukuchi Sakura is an official, an old friend of his father who helped take care of "Ranpo Edogawa" and arranged for him to go to the police academy, so he would definitely be relieved.

"Ranpo Edogawa" would not even experience being kicked out of the police academy like Ranpo Edogawa, and directly come into contact with this person who stands on a high position.

With the personalities of those two people, "Ranpo Edogawa" would like that kind of life. That is a feeling that seems similar to Ranpo Edogawa's feelings for the president, but it is completely different.

And once this beginning is made - let's take the members of the hounds in this world as an example. With the deceitful and simple nature of "Ranpo Edogawa" at that time, he would definitely regard Sakura Fukuchi as very important.

If he had not met the president, Ranpo Edogawa himself was not sure if he could refuse the other party's "invitation".

In the police academy (world) that he could not understand - those people would get angry because he said "things that everyone can see". Compared to these inexplicable people, Sakura Fukuchi who would not get angry and would say "supernatural facts" would look more interesting, right?

So the question is, for Ranpo Edogawa, for any Ranpo Edogawa - there is no difference between good and evil.

Just like the murder case when he met the president, he would not feel disgusted with the murderer, nor would he feel how pitiful the dead person was. With the ignorant cruelty of a child, he would not care about this matter at all. He only cared that he could not get the job and he was going to be hungry again.

His parents wanted him to be a good person, but they passed away before they had the chance to teach him this. A genius who does not have much human sense will not care about the gains and losses of others, nor will he care whether the world will be destroyed. He just wants to be happy.

Since it was Sakura Fukuchi who picked up "Ranpo Edogawa", then even if Sakura Fukuchi's wish was to destroy the world, it has nothing to do with "Ranpo Edogawa", right? Let alone stopping it, not being a helper is a rare thing.

With the protection of Fukuchi Sakurachi (hound), why did "Edogawa Ranpo" go blind? Why did "Edogawa Ranpo" stand on the side of the Port Mafia?

Yes - Edogawa Ranpo has confirmed that the other self and the other Dazai, as well as Atsushi, exist in the same organization, that is, the Port Mafia.

Then the question goes back to the beginning, why did "Edogawa Ranpo" choose to give up Fukuchi Sakurachi, and why did he not show hatred after the other party died when he said to be careful of Fukuchi Sakurachi?

Don't use amnesia or something to explain it. It was certain just because the "other self" showed a conditioned reflex of avoiding the president.

Death is the most difficult thing for people to empathize with. For people who have never died, thinking about the hearts of the deceased is like comforting a depressed person by saying that the world is beautiful and you shouldn't think too much.

Edogawa Ranpo could see that it was not fear, not fear - Tokino was not afraid of the person who caused his death from beginning to end. If he faced the other person again, he could still pick up a weapon and would never avoid or run away.

But his body and his soul developed PTSD because of death. It is a psychological problem that cannot be controlled no matter how strong the will is.

PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder. It refers to a mental disorder that occurs when an individual experiences or witnesses death - not necessarily death, but also serious injuries, threats to physical integrity, which leads to delayed onset and persistence of the individual.

There are many specific reactions. What Shiwu showed was "increased alertness symptoms" and "avoidance and numbness symptoms." *

This is not even the first time.

Before Shiwu died, he had such an experience. Specifically, he lost all his memories, and after losing his memory, he would react to key words, and would have a stress response when encountering similar things until his memory was restored. After

his death, he forgot his memory again. He forgot everything, the pain he felt when he was injured, who killed him, why he died, and how he died.

Fortunately, he forgot the bad past, but remembered everything that brought good emotions. He knew that he was loved, he knew that he had important people, and he knew that he was never alone. Even if he didn't remember.

In the end, when Tokiwa appeared in front of Ranpo Edogawa, he only had an instinctive reaction of escaping from the traditional samurai aura of Fukuzawa Yukichi. However, in this escape, there was no fear or hatred, and there was even a complex emotion that was incomprehensible.

So what was the reason? Isn't the answer already very simple!

In a world where he has not met the president, if we substitute the president and Fukuchi's positions, Fukuchi Sakurachi will definitely be the most important person to "Ranpo Edogawa" in that world.

That is a completely different way of getting along with the president. "Ranpo Edogawa" will be even more reckless, because he is the one being recruited. He knows how powerful he is, and he knows that he will never be abandoned as long as he has the ability. And Fukuchi Sakurachi is very strong. He will not leave him suddenly like his parents. He can act coquettishly and willfully, and he will let Fukuchi Sakurachi use his special ability (super reasoning).

Why would he choose to betray Fukuchi Sakurachi under this background? Why would he stand against him when he obviously doesn't care about good or evil?

Because - the only possibility is that there are two more important people for Ranpo Edogawa!

Before meeting Sakura Fukuchi, before meeting Yukichi Fukuzawa - the two people who supported a home for Ranpo Edogawa, a perfect protective circle, and protected him from any harm when he was still a child!

For any Ranpo Edogawa, the most important and most concerned wound in his heart that he is most reluctant to be poked has always been his dead parents!

Ranpo Edogawa's father is a legendary well-known detective known to everyone in the police industry. He is a "clairvoyant" who is much better than Ranpo at the time. Although his mother is unknown, she is a more powerful person than his father. Their

bad news came suddenly. One day, something inexplicably befell Ranpo Edogawa.

Every world is different, and the death of his parents in this world was indeed an accident. But what about another world? What about a parallel world?

His father is a policeman, and he is known as the "Clairvoyance". His reasoning ability is better than that of the immature Ranpo Edogawa.

In this world, after losing the filter given to him by Fukuzawa Yukichi, Ranpo Edogawa realized the danger of Fukuchi Sakura's delusion. He realized the crisis of the future world - what if in another world, his father discovered this in advance?

No one can underestimate the sensitivity of a policeman known as the "Clairvoyance" to these things.

Did his father see something he shouldn't know? Hound is an organization that relies on human experiments to lay the foundation for a strong physique, how clean can it be?

Maybe this is difficult to understand, but if you explain it in another way and put yourself in this mood, you will understand it.

Suppose - if Edogawa Ranpo is now, and now he regards the president as the most important person, he unexpectedly finds out that it was Fukuzawa Yukichi, who has not yet left the government, who obeyed the government's orders to kill his parents.

If this is really the case, how would Edogawa Ranpo feel?

...He will collapse, and his worldview will collapse again, just like his incomprehension of everything after his parents died.

"Ranpo Edogawa" doesn't care about good and evil, and when he's with Sakura Fukuchi, he doesn't care about the other person's way of doing things. Even if Sakura Fukuchi kills someone in front of him, "Ranpo Edogawa" won't have any ill feelings towards him.

Sakura Fukuchi never minds showing his other side, and he's even good at using this method to make his subordinates more loyal and respectful to him. In the future of the main world, he will even take the initiative to expose his shady identity and ask a subordinate whether he will continue to be loyal to him.

But after regarding Sakura Fukuchi as the most important person - just like Ranpo Edogawa values ​​Yukichi Fukuzawa - he realized that the other party was his enemy.

That incredible, unbelievable sense of absurdity... can you understand?

This is also the reason why Edogawa Ranpo is unwilling to accept the answer after he got it with his terrible reasoning ability.

- Will "Edogawa Ranpo" hate Fukuchi Sakura for being crazy?

This question is like asking... Will Edogawa Ranpo hate Fukuzawa Yukichi?

Collapse, confusion, and helplessness, thinking that this is a lie, thinking that he has super powers, thinking that he is still in an illusion, all of this is fake!

But his "super reasoning" presents the facts in front of him.

How can he not hate? But compared to the other party, it would be more ridiculous that he is blind and has never discovered the horror of the other party.

Obviously, he has super reasoning, so why can't he perceive the answer?

But how can he hate him?

After the death of his parents, without his knowledge. Fukuchi Sakura took care of him, told him the truth about the world, brought him out of the protection of his parents, treated him cheerfully but gently, and regarded him as a junior - even if the essence was to use his special ability, but everything brought to "Edogawa Ranpo" would not be false.

Is the love given false? Edogawa Ranpo doesn't know.

Hate and love are equal, and he realizes that the importance of the other party is even comparable to that of his parents - but the dead are always the most important, and the beautiful filter of death makes the importance of parents rise to the level of obsession at this moment. So the parents won at this moment.

So, "Edogawa Ranpo" betrayed Fukuchi Sakura.

And this complex emotion that cannot be described in words will only dissipate after his own death, and even drag the other party to death with him.

Therefore, the "other self" who appeared in front of Edogawa Ranpo would have the unbelievable calm reaction now.

This is the most reasonable explanation that Edogawa Ranpo could deduce after noticing the details of the "other self".

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: Do you have complicated emotions towards the person who killed me? Oh, because he is my ancestor. No, I should not remember this now. Please forget what I said.
