"Any idea?" After reading this poem, I turned my head and looked at Kunikida.
But unfortunately, after hearing what I said, Kunikida just shook his head calmly.
"Where's Mr. Ranpo?" I asked.
"I don't know where I went to play." Tanizaki deduced after looking around.
"Hey... by the way, the fiancée in the poem is probably Numata Miyuki, the younger sister of Kaneko of the Numata family." To no avail, I had to take the lead in the analysis.
"It should be," Tanizaki agreed, "By the way, Mr. Kunikida, the display in the house we just went to said that there is a traitor in the detective agency."
"Traitor? Just sowing discord at the most basic level." Kunikida replied, looking scornful of this.
I raised my eyebrows, then pursed my lips and nodded.
Yes, how could there be a traitor in the detective agency?
"But fortunately, Adun was finally found." I said, my mental arithmetic falling a little behind.
"But I always feel a little strange." Tanizaki said hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Hmm... I'm wondering if the white dove in this poem may be related to the reading pigeon."
"It's possible." I nodded and replied. After all, many famous writers became famous because of Yue Ge.
"Then what does the sound of death mean?"
"Could it be referring to the decline of Yuege?"
Tanizaki and I looked at each other, and finally when we looked at each other's similarly hooded face, we couldn't help but burst out laughing in unison.
"Be serious!" Kunikida pushed up his glasses and scolded in a serious voice.
After hearing this, Tanizaki and I both suppressed our escaping smiles.
"Everyone has been entrusted with a lot of tasks recently and is quite busy. Let some people see what they can do and don't cause trouble!" Kunikida said with a serious look and a stern tone.
"oh."
"knew."
Tanizaki and I responded.
I secretly glanced at Tanizaki and found that he was frowning slightly, as if he was quite concerned about this matter.
But I didn't take it seriously, because at this time, Dazai Osamu was lying on the sofa doing nothing, and Edogawa was wandering around and missing. "Someone" must not only refer to Tanizaki and me.
"Work!" Kunikida came up behind me at some point and hit my head hard with a newspaper.
"Ouch..." After a small complaint, I started typing on the keyboard honestly.
The sky is clear and crisp, with lingering clouds.
I hope God will stop being a monster and let me stay safe and spend my whole life in Wenye.
At that moment, I thought.
…
A week later.
I was sitting alone in the office. The increasingly cold air finally forced me to buy a goose-yellow duck down scarf.
Nakajima Atsushi's health is getting better and better, and he can now go on missions with Izumi Kyoka.
And Kunikida is right, everyone is very busy, and I have received a lot of commissions during this time. Today, it just happened that I was the only one in the house.
At this time, I heard a sputtering sound from behind my head, and I felt a sharp pain in my head.
Pieces of white mist appeared in front of my eyes, and my mind was in chaos.
At the critical moment, I clutched the warm pocket watch tightly and reluctantly activated my powers to survive.
After he brought me back to consciousness, I gritted my teeth and walked to the window sill. At this time, the window sill was already covered with stubble on the glass, and not far away lay a solitary object that looked like a bloody jade. I guessed that this was the piece that was used to attack me just now.
I took out the pistol from my waist, loaded the bullets, and then slowly poked my head out to observe the scene outside the window.
However, after I fully saw the scene in front of me, I froze on the spot.
I saw a scholar-like person standing on the rooftop opposite.
When the man saw that I had spotted him, he looked at me without fear and grinned again and again. That smile made my hair stand on end. For a moment, I thought it was me who should hide.
They probably thought that now that the greetings were over, it was time to get down to business. The man shook his arm, picked up a piece of jade from the side, and threw it at me hard.
Seeing this, I was so frightened that I quickly retracted my head.
But I was wrong. I bet this time they didn't come for the window at all, but for the wall where I was hiding.
This is extremely dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that I temporarily shrunk my neck, I might not have had time to use my powers, and my brain would have been penetrated and I would have died.
Okay, I have encountered another difficulty in my career, and the beautiful illusion of peace has once again been shattered.
Because I couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while, I squatted on the spot and didn't dare to make any move.
But no matter what, the jade stones on the other side seemed to be endless, constantly breaking through and destroying the buildings that could protect me.
We can no longer sit still and wait for death!
I jumped up, grabbed my pistol and started shooting.
But I suffered the loss of my inexperience. The distance was too far, and ordinary pistols couldn't reach it!
This was terrible, I completely exposed my position. When I ran back behind the wall, the other party seemed to understand my movement: wherever I went, the jade would follow.
So, I simply gave up and continued to hide behind the wall, and sprinted to the table, trying to defeat speed with speed.
But I failed again because my speed was not as fast as his jade.
I looked at the jade getting closer and closer to me, and simply gave up and closed my eyes. My whole body muscles were tense, hoping that my powers would be stronger than his.
But after waiting for a long time, a strong and powerful wind followed.
I opened my eyes in disbelief and found that there was a white tiger claw in front of me, and inside the tiger claw was a piece of luminous jade.
Sure enough, I turned my head and saw the resolute profile of Atsushi Nakajima next to me.
Another gust of wind blew past me, and a small figure in a kimono, holding a dagger, rushed out of the window.
"Jinghua, be careful!" I shouted anxiously.
However, Quan Jinghua soon proved with practical actions that my worries were completely unnecessary.
I saw Yasha Baixue raising his knife and quickly cutting off the jade stone like a meteor. And Izumi Kyoka squatted on Shirayuki Yaksha's back, her eyes burning, obviously not afraid.
Finally flying in front of the young man, Quan Jinghua leaped to the top of the building, picked up the dagger and prepared to fight with him.
As a person with the ability to attack from a distance, the man obviously understood that the situation was over. He silently put away his smile, but still looked calm and calm.
I was a little confused at first, but after he snapped his fingers, I understood.
His figure suddenly blurred and turned into countless feathers flying into the air.
Izumi Kyoka couldn't attack now, because she didn't know which feather belonged to him, or in other words, all of these feathers belonged to him.
We have no choice but to watch countless white feathers flying in the air, and finally disappear without a trace.
"Sure enough, are there any other people with powers who can help?" I murmured, feeling quite unwilling.
And the same was obviously true for Quan Jinghua in the distance. She pursed her lips and flew back to the office.
"Si Ye, are you okay?" Atsushi Nakajima asked with concern.
