Chapter 36



Ranpo Edogawa only said one sentence, but Dazai Osamu was still able to react to his meaning.

What Ranpo Edogawa could think of, Dazai Osamu could also think of. Even this time, Dazai Osamu thought a little more deeply than Ranpo Edogawa.

Because, Ranpo Edogawa is not actually a person with superpowers, but a... not-so-ordinary ordinary person (non-superpower).

It's just that Ranpo Edogawa is too genius, and even using superpowers to describe his reasoning ability is to underestimate Ranpo Edogawa.

And in fact, there is one thing that is wrong-Ranpo Edogawa doesn't care about good and evil, but Tokido doesn't care, very much.

At that time, Ranpo Edogawa saw that Tokiwu fell into a coma because of Q's ability. No one would think too much about how Tokiwu got the ability. It was nothing more than a conspiracy of the port mafia, Q calculated something and took advantage of Tokiwu's blindness, or Tokiwu himself was careless - even Ranpo Edogawa himself would have this idea.

Because he still put "himself" in the place.

If it was Ranpo Edogawa who was present at the time, he would be able to see Q's ability at a glance. No matter how Q acted, no matter how innocent and pitiful he acted, Ranpo Edogawa would not be fooled. So Ranpo Edogawa did not think Tokiwu would be fooled.

But Shiwu was not the same. He discovered Q's problem (even though he was not sure of his identity). He saw the malice and knew that he could not get close. He turned around and wanted to leave while saying words of rejection - but when Q fell, Shiwu still took the initiative and instinctively reached out to support the other party.

Not for any other reason, nor for the background of the position, this was just a subconscious reaction of a person who habitually put himself in the position of a protector.

At that time, Edogawa Ranpo only took a look at the scene and came to a conclusion. Because he was worried about Shiwu, he did not care about the process. But Dazai Osamu was a little puzzled about how Shiwu could have a supernatural power, because they all knew Edogawa Ranpo as an individual. Even if he was blind, "Edogawa Ranpo" could not easily be infected with supernatural powers.

If it was another powerful enemy, it would be another matter, but Yumeno Hisasaku was just a child, a child that Edogawa Ranpo could defeat.

There was no surveillance on that street, but Dazai Osamu always had a way to know what happened on the scene.

Then he knew the answer - even at that time, Tokiwa took the initiative to take a step, letting Q crash into his arms.

Edogawa Ranpo would never support Yumeno Hisasaku. He would never be hurt.

Tokiwa would subconsciously protect human children, even if the other party showed malice.

Why? How could it be? How could "Edogawa Ranpo" have such a "helpful" personality?

That was an instinct that came out before thinking, as if someone was constantly reminding him to be a good person and to help others.

——This point is particularly unbelievable when applied to "Ranpo Edogawa".

Fukuchi Sakurachi would never teach "Ranpo Edogawa" like this. Even Fukuzawa Yukichi spent more than ten years, but Ranpo Edogawa never restrained his willfulness and ego.

Who can make "Ranpo Edogawa" change his nature and choose to help others?

——It's still that answer. Who else can do it except his dead parents?

If "Ranpo Edogawa" had received this kind of education, and regardless of what happened in the middle, "Ranpo Edogawa" who would choose to save people would meet Fukuchi Sakurachi, the friction between them would actually exist from the beginning.

Moreover, Dazai Osamu had reason to suspect that a certain mouse was also involved.

Because Ranpo Edogawa is just an ordinary person. He has never been a person with special abilities.

It is natural for people with special abilities to be excellent. And it is extremely rare and incredible for ordinary people to have a high level of wisdom that even people with special abilities cannot reach.

Ranpo Edogawa without special abilities is much more valuable than Ranpo Edogawa with special abilities.

If Fukuchi Sakurachi is as important as Fukuzawa Yukichi and his parents, then they must have spent a long enough time together. Why didn't Edogawa Ranpo discover the truth for such a long time, but discovered it one day?

With the ability of the rat to stir up trouble - when Dazai Osamu found some traces of Fukuchi Sakurachi during his investigation, he knew that these things must have a thousand and one things to do with her.

In other words, Edogawa Ranpo valued Fukuchi Sakurachi, and even though he was educated by his parents to be a good person, he was on Fukuchi Sakurachi's side, but because of Fyodor's involvement, he realized the truth... and then, he had nowhere to go in that world.

Because he was picked up by Fukuchi Sakurachi in advance, without Ranpo, Fukuzawa Yukichi would not have the idea of ​​establishing an organization centered on Edogawa Ranpo, which means that the Armed Detective Agency does not exist in that world. (Maybe there is an organization centered on Fukuzawa Yukichi, but that is not the same.)

At that time, if "Edogawa Ranpo" wanted to stop Fukuchi Sakurachi, the only help he could seek was the Port Mafia.

The police couldn't do it because Fukuchi Sakurachi was the captain of the hounds. The Special Power Special Service Department couldn't do it because this organization couldn't fight against Fukuchi Sakurachi.

Only the special Port Mafia in that world could.

The information revealed in the memories at that time was big enough. Others may not understand, but Dazai Osamu analyzed the answer immediately. Odasaku in another world is alive and was rescued by Dazai Osamu.

What does he need to do to save Odasaku? Judging from the tone of Nakajima Atsushi in another world, he does not know Odasaku. Since Odasaku is not in the Port Mafia, how did Dazai Osamu know him? And why can't he see the long-awaited novel?

Dazai Osamu understood what he would do in an instant.

He is the leader of another world. He has a special channel to know that he will become friends with Odasaku.

Mr. Ranpo once mentioned that this is not the first time that "another self" has lost his memory, and he also knows that in another world, the existence of the book cannot be known by more than two people.

One of them is Atsushi, and the other person Dazai Osamu guessed can only be his other student, Akutagawa. The abilities of both of them are very special, and they will produce special abilities when they intersect.

Atsushi and Akutagawa took up two places, so when he later chose "Edogawa Ranpo" of the port mafia, he never thought about the possibility of his survival from the beginning.

He was ready to die from the beginning.

There is no evidence to prove whether their reasoning is correct, so they can only rely on known clues to work backwards. Fortunately, they have obtained enough information to infer the general direction of the incident.

At this moment, the only thing that Dazai Osamu is still unsure of is who "Mr. Ranpo" wants to be praised in the end.

Although it is impossible to be sure, in fact, Dazai Osamu also has some guesses about who the target is.

He raised his head and glanced at the detective who was lying on the table and looked a little irritable, and took the initiative to change the subject, dragging the topic to the Fukuchi Sakura in this world, "Mr. Ranpo, what are you going to do?"

Whether it is a vampire or a mouse, it is not easy to solve. If you are not prepared, you will only be bitten back in the end.

- No matter which of these two creatures, you need to be vaccinated in advance.

At this moment, the handle was pried open and the door was pushed open from the outside. Not knocking on the door, this behavior that is considered rude for ordinary people is not a special problem for "Edogawa Ranpo".

Shiwu lay at the door and smiled at the two script masters: "Tanizaki bought some snacks to reward everyone. There are daifuku of your favorite flavor?"

Edogawa Ranpo stuffed the information into the table, and the annoyance in his heart immediately dissipated. He ran to the door and grabbed Shiwu, saying: "I'm coming!" Dazai Osamu

noticed Shiwu's "sight" shifting over and smiled: "Do you have canned crab meat?"

Because Shiwu was blind, Dazai Osamu did not hide his deep eyes at the moment.

When "Edogawa Ranpo" died, the most important family members he would see would definitely be his family members. He would only act coquettishly to his family members, and he would only care about his family members' praise.

However, if it is true as he and Mr. Ranpo speculated, then at that time, "Edogawa Ranpo" betrayed Fukuchi Sakurachi, and in a sense, also betrayed his parents.

Who does he want to hear the praise he wants? He

knows that his parents will never blame him, but even if it is "Mr. Ranpo", can he really say such words to praise me so easily?

- Dazai Osamu in another world will know the "future" through another channel, so will Edogawa Ranpo who follows him know the same?

For Dazai Osamu, feelings are always inferior to the answers obtained after logical thinking.

But in this situation, he couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of Mr. Ranpo, who belonged to this world and the detective agency, and the president.

Mr. Ranpo would work hard because of a compliment from the president.

If another Mr. Ranpo knew that he would have met Fukuzawa Yukichi instead of Fukuchi Sakura, would he have some slight regrets?

It's not that the president is so important - after all, Mr. Ranpo and the president in another world have never been together. It's just that

when he betrayed Fukuchi Sakura and his parents, he knew the existence of another world, knew the fearlessness of another self, and realized that he also had such a possibility, would he be unable to help but develop an escapist mentality?

He would see the president, but not the president. That was just a transfer of empathy to an important person - because that would be the only pure emotion that he had not destroyed with his own hands. Even if this beauty did not belong to him from the beginning, but was just an illusion created by his escape.

Similarly, he also knew that he would never be rewarded. No matter how hard he tried, no one would forgive him, and no one would praise him.

And death took away all these intense emotions.

He did not recognize Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was used as a benchmark by his transfer of empathy, and he no longer had any feelings for Fukuchi Sakurachi.

Everything that "Ranpo Edogawa" showed now was saying one thing. He hoped that Ranpo Edogawa could be happy in this world. He hoped that Ranpo Edogawa would be happy every day. He would protect Ranpo Edogawa.

Because this was something he could no longer get.

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: ... I may be a little empathetic, but I really want to protect Ranbu, I don't treat him as someone else.
