I became a peerless beauty, and all Yokohama was fascinated by me

Chapter 26 Who is the Owner

"Kunikida, what are you holding in your hand?"

In the Armed Detective Agency, the black-haired young man lying flat on the sofa put one hand behind his head, and the other reached for the potato chips on the table. The brown detective hat on his head fell a little due to his movements, and was pressed down by him again. pressure.

And when he saw the blond boy with his straight back coming back, he suddenly stopped his movements, his narrowed eyes opened slightly, and a curious radiance leaked out of them.

He keenly smelled a trace of the case.

Hearing the words, the young man who was just in time turned around and walked towards the sofa, bowing his head slightly to salute him.

"Mr. Ranpo." His voice was steady and his movements were correct. Behind the square glasses were a pair of calm eyes. Compared with the young man on the sofa, he didn't know who was the adult for a while. "This is the man I got from the street today. I was thinking of sending the necklace I found at the police station to the lost and found."

"Oh?" Edogawa sat up in disorder, opened his green eyes and stared at the necklace in his palm, "It's in the shape of a skull..."

"Yes." Kunikida Doppo added earnestly, "I picked it up at the commercial street. There are so many people there, no matter who dropped it."

So he thinks the best way is to send it to the police station.

But now, after Mr. Ranpo stopped him, Kunikida Doppo instantly dismissed this idea.Because he knew that Mr. Ranpo would definitely be able to provide him with a more detailed and reliable plan.

Sure enough, after casually glanced twice, Edogawa Ranpo lay down again without interest: "Why send me to the police station, you will wait at the place where you picked it up at the same time tomorrow, and I saw that you are about the same age as you but covered in A man who looks rich and shiny is looking for something, and that's him."

"Very rich?" Kunikida Doppo could understand the first two words, but he couldn't understand the latter description.

Edogawa Ranpo gave him a silly look, and didn't even bother to explain: "This necklace in your hand can buy a building of our detective agency, what do you think?"

Kunikida Doppo: "What?"

My God, so expensive? !

With a shake of his hand, he only felt that the necklace in his hand weighed a thousand catties, which almost made him unable to breathe.

Edogawa Ranpo waved his hand casually: "So when you return it to him, you can take the opportunity to ask for something in return, and he must be very happy to give it back."

"How is this possible?" Kunikida Doppo frowned disapprovingly, he himself did not want to find the original owner for the sake of reward.

However, it is really uneasy to put such an expensive item in the police station. Kunikida Doppo tried his best to put away the jaw that fell to the ground, and decided to find the owner tomorrow.

He wasn't worried about Edogawa Ranpo's judgment at all.Because in his heart, Mr. Ranpo will never make mistakes, and Mr. Ranpo is a true genius.

The next day, in order not to miss the owner, Kunikida Doppo got up early and went to the commercial street to stay.

He chose the second floor of a coffee shop with a wider view, ordered a cup of coffee at a seat by the window, and waited for the owner to come and look for it.

As a result, after waiting for a full day, only two groups of people came to the commercial street, suspected to be looking for something.But no matter which wave, it doesn't fit the image of the owner that Mr. Ranpo said.

The first wave was a ten-man squad in port mafia uniforms, searching the streets as if they were going to turn the ground upside down.

Some stooped and touched the ground like a blind man, while others grabbed panicked passers-by and asked them fiercely.There are even some people lying on the ground with their buttocks pouted, carefully checking at the entrance of the sewer.

Such a big posture lasted for 15 minutes, making the commercial street panicky, and finally returned without success.

Kunikida Doppo looked at this scene, and put the coffee heavily on the table in dissatisfaction. This is the port mafia. What kind of search efficiency is this? It took so long to find and disturb the residents. The quality of this mafia member It's too bad!

Amid his indignation, the second wave of people who came to look for him also arrived.

This is indeed a man, but if you look carefully, the man is already in his 20s, exuding a mature and stable atmosphere, neither shiny nor rich in appearance, and he doesn't match any of them.

On the contrary, there is a silver-haired woman wearing sunglasses and a mask next to him. Her taste is quite fashionable, and she has all kinds of accessories, earrings and watches, which is very in line with the conditions Mr. Ranpo said.

But—she is a woman.

The gender I told Ranpo-san didn't match either.

Certainly not.

Kunikida Doppo regretfully looked away.

As a result, he sat until the evening and couldn't wait for the owner.

Where is this mysterious owner?

Kunikida Doppo returned to the detective agency melancholy, and before he told Edogawa Ranpo the missing news, when Edogawa Ranpo saw him, the smile on his face suddenly became serious: "Didn't find it?"

Kunikida Doppo nodded.

"It shouldn't be." Edogawa Ranpo lowered his brows slightly, according to his calculations, Kunikida will be able to see the owner today, and the owner will be quite conspicuous.

Why is there an error in this?

"Go squat for another day tomorrow. Don't miss the details. If you can't find it, I will go with you in person." After pondering for a while, Edogawa Ranpo decided that he couldn't believe that the owner could not be found.

Kunikida Doppo naturally obeyed.

On the third day, he came to the commercial street again under the watchful eyes of Edogawa Ranpo. This time, he did not sit in the coffee shop, but chose to stand next to a street lamp, watching the pedestrians with wide eyes. .

But his hope was once again in vain. Except for the combination of a man and a woman yesterday who didn't know what to look for today, he couldn't find any other suitable candidates.

Just as he was leaving regretfully again, when he turned around, he suddenly heard the vague voice of the silver-haired woman who passed him by: "Look for it again today, if you can't find the necklace again, don't look for it again, sorry! gone."

...wait, necklace? !

Kunikida Doppo turned his head abruptly, almost grabbing the woman's shoulder without even thinking about it.

Then, in mid-air, someone grabbed his wrist instantly, with such force that he couldn't take a step forward.

He turned his head in astonishment, only to see the red-haired man behind the girl, who was staring at him quietly, with a deep look in his eyes.

"What's going on?" The silver-haired girl also noticed this scene, frowning and looking over.

Being stared at by the two, Kunikida Doppo immediately felt that his behavior was inappropriate, and explained nervously: "I just heard you said that you lost a necklace... May I ask what shape the necklace is?"

The red-haired man looked at him for a while, and he didn't seem to feel threatened, so he let it go: "It's a skull necklace, do you have any impression?"

Kunikida Doppo was stunned: "Skeleton...necklace?"

Is the skull necklace... the one he picked up?

But that's not right, the owner of the skull necklace... shouldn't be a man of his age!

He was so upset that he could hardly find his own voice: "I did find a skull necklace, but... it shouldn't be the one you lost."

"Uh..." Kisaragi was stunned.

He was worried that even if he sent his elite men to turn the street upside down, he could not find the necklace and had almost given up.

Unexpectedly, a golden retriever suddenly appeared from behind, and said that there was indeed a skull necklace in his hand.

But the man then said that what he picked up was definitely not the same as what he was looking for.

Strange, he said it as if he knew what kind of necklace he was looking for.

Glancing at each other with Oda Sakunosuke, the two of them felt vigilant at the same time, secretly sizing up the young man in front of them.

The boy pushed down his glasses in some hesitation, his eyebrows frowned as if he could crush a fly to death, he opened his mouth hesitantly, then closed it again, and after repeated several times, he finally couldn't help saying: "Can you put your necklaces together?" Draw it, I want to compare."

"Okay." After all, it was a chance to get back his beloved necklace, Kisaragi Ren didn't bother too much about his abnormal behavior, and asked Oda Sakunosuke to draw for him.

Not to mention, Oda Sakunosuke's painting skills are quite superb, and he drew the necklace so lifelike that it was almost exactly the same, Kisaragi nodded in satisfaction, and handed over the paper: "How is it? "

Who knew that the blond-haired man with glasses had a more subtle expression after taking over the painting.

He looked at the painting over and over again, studied it carefully like a detective, and even dropped the painting to observe it in detail.

After a long while, I struggled to spit out a string of words: "You guys really lost this?"

Ruyue Lian was annoyed by him: "Otherwise, you still don't believe that I drew it for you?"

Kunikida Doppo stammered and explained: "No... Do you think it's possible? The owner of this necklace is someone else, who is about your age, but a male..."

"Uh..." Kisaragi stared at him silently, as if staring at a mentally handicapped person.

Maybe he also found that what he said was weird, Kunikida Doppo blushed suddenly, and lowered his eyes in embarrassment.

"Yesterday we bought the necklace at the jewelry store on this street. We kept the receipts. You can take a look."

Fortunately, Oda Sakunosuke presented the final evidence, which can be regarded as a step down for him.

Kunikida Dubo took the receipt in a daze, and one after another evidences completely proved that the owner was the woman in front of him, so he was at a loss now.

Could it be... Mr. Ranpo really made a mistake?

But can Mr. Ranpo make mistakes, in the few years he has known Mr. Ranpo, has Mr. Ranpo made mistakes?

Seeing that he was hesitating on the spot, but he didn't hand over the necklace happily, Ru Yuelian thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh, do you want a tip, tell me earlier."

He randomly took out ten ten thousand yuan bills from his wallet, and handed them over without blinking: "Is it enough?"

"Uh..." Looking at the [-] yuan bills that their detective agency was desperately trying to earn, Kunikida Doppo almost suffered a cardiac arrest.

The fact that he is willing to tip is exactly as Mr. Ranpo guessed.

But why Mao's gender doesn't match! !

Kunikida Doppo: "It's not about money!"

Kisaragi raised her eyebrows: "Is that a problem of not enough money? You can make a price."

Kunikida Doppo: "No!!"

"Listen to my explanation!!"

With the extreme tension between the two, more and more people noticed the scene here. After finding out that someone seemed to be threatening to make a huge amount of money by picking up things, people immediately sent disgusted and dissatisfied eyes to Kunikida Doppo , began to point and point.

This sight made Kunikida Doppo's scalp tingle and his face flushed. In the end, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't care about anything else. He stuffed the necklace into Kizuki Ren's palm, and immediately ran away from the commercial street without taking the money. .

All the way back to the detective agency panting, he still couldn't understand all this after thinking about it, and in the end he could only attribute it to Mr. Ranpo's mistake.

Well, it is also possible that the mouth is wrong.

"I'm back." As soon as he entered the door, Edogawa Ranpo, who had been waiting on the sofa for a long time, stared at the comic book in his hand, and said hello without looking back, "Have you found the owner?"

"Uh..." Not wanting to tell Mr. Ranpo the truth, Kunikida Doppo twitched the corner of his mouth, "I have found it."

He hurriedly wanted to bypass Edogawa Ranpo and walk inside, but he was stopped by Edogawa Ranpo after only two steps: "Wait."

"It seems that you have something to hide from me." Kunikida Doppo's body stiffened suddenly.

Edogawa put down the comic book in random steps, and walked slowly around his body.

Kunikida Doppo didn't need to say anything, Edogawa Ranpo's originally calm expression was slightly tainted with consternation, and finally showed an expression of disbelief.

"The information I gave was wrong, how is it possible?"

His steps became anxious, and even his voice became high-pitched: "Impossible, impossible, how could such a simple reasoning, Mr. Ranbu, be wrong!"

it's over...

Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses in embarrassment, and had no choice but to inform the other party that the owner was a woman.

"But the other information is completely correct, maybe it's just a slight oversight." Although he tried his best to mend the past, Edogawa Ranpo's face became darker and darker. I ate and didn't drink any water, and I just racked my brains here to figure out why something went wrong.

"Are you sure he's not wearing women's clothing?" He asked Kunikida Doppo a few questions, "Maybe he is bigger than you when he lifts his skirt!"

"Cough... cough, cough cough." Kunikida Doppo's mouth twitched, almost coughing to death.But because of Edogawa's chaotic eyes, he had no choice but to squeeze out a few words, "Probably not, because, because... her curves, ahem, ahem... are obvious."

His face was about to bleed when he said this, but Edogawa Ranpo still refused to let him go: "Kunikida hasn't been in contact with many women, so the judgment is definitely inaccurate. Ranpo-sama is absolutely impossible to make a mistake, That person is a man!"

"That's right!" He stood up suddenly, and nodded vigorously, "I want to verify it myself, my judgment cannot be wrong!"

Kunikida Doppo was dumbfounded: "How to verify?"

Edogawa Ranpo looked at him as it should be: "Of course I'm going to find the person involved!"

Kunikida Doppo: "Huh?"

Satisfied, Kisaragi who retrieved the necklace admired it repeatedly in front of the mirror.

however……

"Cut." Seeing herself in the mirror wearing sunglasses and a mask covering her tightly, Ru Yuelian curled her lips in boredom, "My face is covered, how can this make me appreciate my handsomeness!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that such a life was too boring: "No, I have to get back to my original state sooner. Speaking of Dazai, has he found any clues about my curse?"

"I don't know." Behind him, Sakunosuke Oda thought about it, "I haven't seen Dazai for a few days."

Ru Yuelian keenly sensed something suspicious: "This person is avoiding me again..."

No wonder Kizuki Ren is so suspicious. In fact, every time Kisaragi comes back from a mission, Osamu Dazai will choose to walk around him, and he won't even show up for a few days.

Unless he blocked people or had to meet him, Osamu Dazai would just avoid him capriciously.

Kisaragi almost got used to it every time she played a hide-and-seek game with him.

"No, you call him now, don't mention me, ask him what he is doing?"

Kisaragi decided to take Oda Sakunosuke to go fishing.

Oda Sakunosuke obediently made a phone call.

Sure enough, the connection was quickly made over there: "Where are you, Dazai?"

There was a noisy voice over there: "I'm working, Odasaku, what's wrong?"

Ren Kisaragi gave a glance, and Oda Sakunosuke immediately said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, when do you have time?"

Osamu Dazai chuckled, and exposed their tricks without hesitation, "It was Kisaragi who asked you to ask, don't think about it, I've been very busy recently. If it's about the curse, I'm investigating it now, there is news Will let him know as soon as possible, do you have any other questions?"

Everything that should be said and should not be said was blocked by him, and Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a while.

Osamu Dazai calmly responded to the phone call, but his heart became tense uncontrollably.

These are, of course, excuses.

Just as he used to have a lot of excuses for avoiding Kisaragi, the tasks mentioned this time are all reasons he made up to prevaricate the past.

In fact, these tasks can be done or not, and they can be pushed to Chuya Nakahara. The only reason for Dazai to take over the task without complaint is that he can't see Ren Kisaragi now.

It's too dangerous, this approach makes the heart beat like a drum, and this approach makes the feeling so joyful that I can't help myself.

As if I am no longer myself, I am tainted with sweetness and warmth, a sweetness that I can no longer quit.

And... now it's not just getting close, as long as he thinks of Kisaragi, he will feel an indescribable feeling in his heart, and the figure of the other party is also lingering in his mind.

Extraordinary has not faded, but has deepened.

Even if he was affected by the charm, he didn't want to experience such a feeling again.

He heard the breathing of Oda Sakunosuke on the phone gradually receding.And another person's breath came through the microphone.

The other party slightly parted his lips, and only faintly read his name: "Dazai."

Osamu Dazai's heart suddenly suspended, and he became chaotic uncontrollably.

Subconsciously, he pressed the hang up button.

When he realized what he had done, he pressed his temples angrily, struggled for a while, and then put away the phone.

Fortunately, there was no call from Kisaragi, and Dazai Osamu, who had been worrying all day long, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was sure that even if Kizukiren blocked him at the door, he would be impatient and it was time to leave. Stepping on the moonlight, Dazai finally eased Slowly return to the room.

As soon as he opened the door with the access control card and walked in, a breath of orchid greeted him.

After a short movement, his right arm was suddenly grabbed and pressed against the door, his back was pressed against the wall, unable to move.

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes and let out a bit of ruthlessness. Just as his left hand was about to grab the vase in the entrance and smash it down, the light on the ceiling suddenly turned on.

Make him look at the face in front of him that is all over the country.

Dazai stopped suddenly.

Deep shock appeared in his eyes.

"Kisara... why are you here?"

"Surprised to see me?" The girl stood in front of him wearing only a shirt casually without any concealer.

Her slender fingers pinched a part of Dazai Osamu's exposed sleeve wrist, as if to prevent the latter from escaping, her right leg was bent and pressed between the latter's legs, forming a barrier.

However, because of this action, she needs to be very close to Osamu Dazai, so close that her chest is close to her chest, her cheeks against her cheeks.

The breath she exhaled almost sprayed on the bridge of Dazai's nose and neck, itching and hot, and those beautiful purple eyes just stared straight at Dazai, with a face that was extremely calm, but seemed a little dissatisfied and wronged.

"Because you seemed to be avoiding me, I came to you."

The skin next to her was hot and hot, and the heat made Dazai Osamu's blood warm up little by little, and his heart beat violently.

Breathing began to become uncontrollable and rapid, and his nerves trembled slightly. Dazai Osamu was in a daze, and he seemed to hear Kisaragi Ren asking: "Are you avoiding me?"

"Look into my eyes, Dazai, are you avoiding me?"

The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if they could feel a small electric current flowing through their bodies.

Osamu Dazai's body began to tremble slightly, and he was almost on the verge of losing his mind.

So close... so close!

There was a rush of heat in his nostrils, he held his breath, and there was only one thought in his mind——

Saved a life!
