On impulse

They were two identical faces. The two men looked at each other and then nodded in tacit understanding.

They leaned their faces forward together. The extremely close distance made Sigma nervous. He felt inexplicably guilty.

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, revealing an expression of "I see." He took off his glasses and clapped his hands: "Now explain your plan clearly, and we can let you go."

The man with double-colored hair was obviously panicking. Although he tried to keep a straight face, his eyes were still darting around unconsciously.

What an honest person.

Ranpo sat down on the sofa on the other side, and Edogawa Ranpo followed suit and sat down on the other side. Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was sitting in the middle, could not maintain his serious expression, but sighed and picked up his tea.

The atmosphere began to flow, and other people in the detective agency also started talking.

"This guy is so weird, not only his hair is weird." Naomi whispered, and Xie Ye nodded in agreement, "Indeed, this guy is really the person in charge of Sky Casino."

Sigma swallowed his saliva and calmed down under the gazes of others: "I am indeed the person in charge of Sky Casino, but this commission has nothing to do with the casino."

The Sky Casino is responsible for the safekeeping of this treasure, and before the exhibition in half a month, they need to be responsible for the security of the treasure. If the treasure is lost, the casino will also be implicated.

As for what the treasure was, Sigma had never seen it with his own eyes. He only saw it under heavy surveillance and it was a box as tall as a person.

But what is inside the box is said to have never been seen by anyone.

And the arrogant owner planned to exhibit it in half a month. It was a gimmick, but Sigma clearly understood it.

The things in the box are really as advertised, able to "make wishes come true." But he feels that once the box is opened, something bad will come out.

The room where the box is locked is heavily guarded, but supernatural things often happen. In this world with supernatural powers, people usually suspect that someone is playing tricks on them.

But the surveillance cameras that went black for no apparent reason, people who fainted for no apparent reason, and employees who attacked their colleagues all made Sigma think that the thing in the box must be something bad.

There is still half a month left, and all he needs to do is take good care of the box during this period. For the sake of the casino, Sigma listened to Fyodor's advice.

"Go find the detective agency."

He had seen the detective agency during an interview, and it was indeed a powerful organization. So with the idea of ​​giving it a try, Sigma came to him.

Following Fyodor's instructions, he put forward his demands step by step. But he didn't expect that within half an hour after he sat down, the guy named Dazai Osamu revealed the mastermind behind the scenes.

With sweat dripping down his forehead, Sigma tried to calm himself down. He racked his brains to think about Fyodor's words, but the more he thought about it, the blanker his mind became.

What did Fyodor say?

The person in front of him showed a confused expression, took the teacup handed to him by Naomi, and then sat down on the sofa without sitting.

But just as he shrank back, the president grabbed his collar and made him sit up. Edogawa swung the soda in his hand, and the glass beads inside hit the bottle, making a crisp sound.

"Do you agree with him?" Luanbu asked, "This thing is bound to be lost, maybe it has been lost now."

Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes in thought, then he turned his head to meet the same pair of eyes: "What do you think, how do you think Fyodor passed the message to him?"

Fyodor D. - The leader of the underground thief group "Rats of the Dead House" and a member of the Russian terrorist organization "The Five Evils".

But during the last "Co-Eating Incident", he was captured by the Special Powers Division and imprisoned in Meursault Prison, which is isolated from the world and is equivalent to a prison specifically for people with special powers.

In this case, how did Fyodor get the news out?

After the two looked at each other, they tacitly thought of the same thing.

"This treasure will definitely be lost. If the detective agency accepts the commission, it will naturally be given to you."

"But if we don't accept the commission, they might go to the missing person's scene and pretend to be the detective agency's traces, and put the blame on us."

"Yes, the rats live in the sewers. It will take some time to find them."

"Yes, there are new mice stealing food!"

The two looked exactly the same, sitting on the sofa and talking in unison. It was like talking to themselves in the mirror, but they were analyzing each other's thoughts.

The other members of the detective agency also showed an expression of "I see" and praised him as if it was nothing new, saying, "So that's how it is. It's really a mess."

"You are indeed underestimating us with such a plan, Mr. Ranpo."

"The damn Five Degenerations of the Celestial Beings are still alive."

Sigma's eyes were blank, but he was actually holding his knees tightly. These two people are so scary.

Dazai was very cunning, and Fyodor had warned him. But Fyodor had not told him how to deal with the smartest detective in the world.

At this moment, he was somewhat glad that he had no idea about the plan, otherwise he felt that no matter how he tried to hide it, it would be seen through.

It's terrible! Even more terrible than those winning players in the casino.

"We have accepted this commission," said the company president, Fukuzawa Yukichi. "But the prerequisite is that our detective agency must send someone to the Sky Casino to confirm the authenticity of the goods."

After careful consideration, the detective agency accepted the commission. Rather than staying in the detective agency and being wrongly accused, it is better to take the initiative.

Everyone was very motivated. Kunikida Dopo took a deep breath and sent Sigma out on his own initiative. The rest of the group was discussing who to send to the Sky Casino.

"Let Atsushi and Kagamika go," Ranpo said. "Just treat it as a vacation. Don't be so nervous."

Nakajima Atsushi, who was entrusted with an important task, pointed at himself and said in disbelief: "Huh?! Me?"

Jinghua nodded and quickly understood her mission: "I understand."

Edogawa Ranpo also nodded in approval of the arrangement. He took the empty glass bottle and handed it to the person next to him: "That's it. We'll pick you up when the time comes."

Luanbu took it and pried the bottle open with his skill.

Nakajima Atsushi swallowed his saliva, still very nervous. This commission involved the reputation of the detective agency and his life, and he felt that he was not up to the task.

Putting a hand on his shoulder, Dazai smiled and said, "Ranpo really trusts you, Atsushi. I thought I could enjoy this opportunity to take a break."

“But, but…”

"Don't worry." Edogawa Ranpo placed the glass bead in front of his eyes and said casually, "The so-called price of life is just that there may be danger to life during the mission."

It's not that if the box is lost the detective agency will have to sacrifice their lives, but if the box is really lost, they may not be able to escape the mission alive.

She stepped forward at the right time with Akiko Yono, and she smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, Atsushi. You just need to have one breath left."

Thinking of the treatment methods of Akiko Yono in the infirmary, Nakajima Atsushi hugged his arms tightly with great pressure: "We will definitely complete the mission!"

The round glass bead rolled back and forth, and finally landed in his palm. Lu Shinobi took the glass bead, and the cool touch brought him back to his senses.

"The detective agency will definitely complete the commission. No one can defeat us." Ranpo Edogawa put his hands on his waist and said confidently, "Because I am the most powerful detective in the world."

"So, it doesn't matter if you're not here. Let's make a bet. Let's bet three bags of potato chips!"

Lu Ninja blinked and did not agree immediately because he really had three bags of potato chips.

Dazai Osamu had been sitting not far away, listening to the two people's conversation, his eyes rolled, and he guessed that it might be inconvenient to walk around randomly.

Since the president didn't say anything about this, it must be that there is no way to get a better solution.

But it was precisely because of this that Dazai Osamu sat up and listened carefully to the conversation between the two random people. Because according to speculation, the result should not be like this.

"Really? Then I'll bet three bags of potato chips." Luanbu pointed up three fingers and said, "plus three servings of yam steamed buns."

"make a deal!"

The detective agency was busy again. When Nakajima Atsushi was holding a bunch of things, he suddenly realized, "Where is Ranpo-san?"

Dazai asked him to pay more attention to the situation of another Mr. Ranpo. Thinking of Mr. Ranpo's background, Nakajima Atsushi felt very distressed.

Growing up in a laboratory is more pitiful than growing up in an orphanage.

But now that I'm done, I realized that both Luanbu are not in the detective agency.

"Another Ranpo, I probably won't see him for a while." Dazai Osamu leaned against the sofa and said, "It seems that I was too late last time and missed some things."

Nakajima Atsushi blinked, then remembered that they had gone to Leibo Street the day before yesterday. On the way, Mr. Dazai seemed to notice something and left with a serious expression.

So they had no legitimate reason to leave the class and were scolded by Mr. Guomu when they returned.

Dazai took a bite of the apple he picked up and guessed that the restricted walking and movement were probably related to the hounds. He originally guessed that the Special Forces Division was involved, but after asking someone, he found out that the Special Forces Division had no involvement in this matter.

The only organization that could make the president give in is Hound.

However, it seems that one very important person has been "blurred". Ranpo Edogawa and the president must know who that person is, but because of the special nature of his identity, not many people know.

At this time, Kunikida Doppo, who accompanied the two, was looking down and making plans. After learning that Ranpo was going out, although he still had plans in hand, he was willing to change the plan for the two.

"It is absolutely unacceptable to let Luanbu go out alone."

This was known to everyone in the detective agency, so Kunikida Doppo came out with them. But in the blink of an eye, the two of them were holding a lot of things.

Two pairs of identical green eyes blinked and looked eagerly at the same person.

"I'll go buy it." Kunikida held his forehead helplessly, "You guys wait here, I'll go buy some snacks."

The two sat down on the chairs, and the things in their hands piled up on the chairs. Edogawa Ranpo didn't know when he put on his glasses. He opened his eyes and said meaningfully, "Where is 005?"

"He must be very happy to be with Mr. Fukuzawa." Ranpo bit the Daifuku in his hand hard, "Mr. Fukuzawa decided to temporarily join the Hounds, really! It's not a good thing at all."

Edogawa Ranpo nodded in agreement: "Uncle Fukuchi is really persistent."

The two of them had a tacit understanding, and both of them disliked Fu Di. Because no matter which world they were in, Fu Di knew Fu Ze earlier.

Shika-nin didn't lie, because if he lied, he would be discovered. He couldn't fool the smartest detective, but similarly, even if Edogawa Ranpo noticed something, he wouldn't be able to see it at a glance.

They understand each other and can guess each other's thoughts with just a simple move.

"This is delicious." Luanbu passed the remaining Daifuku over while chewing.

Halfway through, he suddenly hesitated because he had never tried this flavor of daifuku before. While he was hesitating, Edogawa Ranpo quickly stuck his head over.

The two of them moved almost simultaneously, and the round-shaped dragon suddenly had two holes cut into it.

The daifuku was sweet, and there was no smell that was wrong. Edogawa Ranpo's frown relaxed, and he thought he was just overthinking.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a hand fell on his shoulder. His green eyes suddenly widened, but before he could open his mouth, the person in front of him grabbed his hand in time.

Shika Ninja took away the button-sized monitor and raised his index finger towards the person in front of him.

The red cloak fluttered, as if by magic, and when I looked again, there was only one person sitting on the chair.

The silver-haired man in red military uniform left with a person in his arms. Even though many people passed by him, they seemed to have not seen him. Even the surveillance did not leave any trace.

Lu Ren yawned and rubbed his eyes sleepily. He straightened his clothes and said to the monitor: "I understand. If you have anything, please contact me by phone."

The hat was worn steadily on his head, and the man dressed as a detective was leaning against the back of the bench with his eyes half closed.

There were indeed sleeping pills in the Dafu, but the dosage was not high and was still tolerable for him.

To defeat a smart person, you don't need any smarter means, just simple force to suppress him. Ranpo Edogawa is just an ordinary person with average taijutsu skills, and he can't resist.

Even if I realized that something was wrong in the conversation just now, it was too late.

The identity swap was actually a spur-of-the-moment decision, and 005 was indeed next to Mr. Fukuzawa. This was true. However, Fukuzawa was less than ten meters away from them, but they could not detect him with their strength.

Through the communication with 005, Shikanin came up with an idea. Edogawa Ranpo should have noticed that Mr. Fukuzawa's ability "No one is better than you" has also been modified.

Just like the others in Hound, Fukuzawa's body was transformed before he went to the battlefield. Not only his physical strength was enhanced, but also his supernatural powers.

Not only can he affect the abilities of other psychics through contact, he can also directly copy and use the abilities of his subordinates.

"Ranpo?" Kunikida came back with two snacks. He looked at the chair with only one person left and asked in confusion, "Where is the other Ranpo?"

"Of course I'm going home." Ranbu stood up and stretched his waist. "What a pity. This detective wants to eat two snacks."

"No." Kunikida Doppo only gave one portion, "We have to eat soon."

"But - it can be used as a snack after dinner."
