[Wen Hao] I worked hard to restore the health of the protagonist group

"Consul Chen?"

Someone called out to him from behind, but unfortunately, people were rushing about on the street and no one stopped for him.

Suehiro Tetsuji was holding a fresh strawberry in his hand. He picked one up, dipped it in something, and then put it in his mouth.

"Who are you calling?"

Only when Tiaoye Caiju could no longer see the figure did he frown and look away.

I don’t know if it was because the figure was too similar, or because Tiao Ye Cai Ju’s mind was full of Consul Chen these days, so that he subconsciously mistook the figure for the wrong person.

He even made an inappropriate sound to test the man, but he did not sense any panic in the man.

Unless someone has the ability to control their heartbeat and breathing independently, he doesn't think an ordinary person can be foolproof.

Tiaoye Caiju withdrew her gaze and thought that she had recognized the wrong person.

Looking back, I saw that Suehiro Tetsuji's mouth had turned red.

The swelling of his lips is definitely not caused by eating strawberries

Tiaoye Caiju frowned and looked down.

He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at the unknown object in the corner of the strawberry box in disbelief.

"you..."

Tetsuji Suehiro picked up a strawberry with an expressionless face, dipped it in chili powder, and handed it to Tiaoye Caiju kindly.

"Eat?"

"..."

"Mr. Irongut."

"Ok?"

"Please take you and your paprika-covered strawberries away from me."

"Ok."

Suehiro Tetsuji answered obediently, taking three stiff steps back while stuffing the strawberry into his mouth.

Seeing this, Tiaoye Caiju turned her head away and stopped looking, but she couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She held her breath in her chest. In the end, she couldn't say a single harsh word and sighed helplessly.

He walked into the store first, and all he saw was a sea of ​​blood.

He and Tetsuji Suehiro happened to be patrolling nearby, and when they heard the gunshots, they rushed over first.

Ambulance and police arrived quickly.

Jouno Caiju first sent the victim who fell to the ground to the ambulance. When he turned back, he saw Suehiro Tetsuji standing in front of the cash register.

"What's wrong?" Tiao Ye Caiju took two or three steps forward and pointed to the most recent payment record on the cash register.

"This outfit looks familiar." Suehiro said.

It only took Tiaoye Caiju a moment to match the clothes on the screen with the person in her memory.

He turned around, opened the computer in the drawer, clicked on real-time monitoring, and when he rewound the video to ten minutes and saw the familiar face, he pressed the pause button.

Suehiro Tiechang leaned forward and asked, "Is it Consul Chen?"

Tiaoye Caiju enlarged the face on the screen. He clearly saw the girl in bloody clothes entering the store, threatening people with a gun, but swiping a card to pay before leaving.

Even though she is a diplomat from Country M, there are too many weird things and contradictions in her.

Tiao Ye Caiju selected the payment record on the cash register and found the proof of Li Shuyi's card swiping at that time. He took a photo and sent it to his colleague.

'Please help me find out who owns this card.'

After confirming that there was no one following him, Xie Shuyi continued to speak to the phone, "You didn't go to school today, how come you can answer my call at this time?"

Taguchi Rokuzo lit a cigarette. The review materials on his desk had already been covered with information about recent events in Yokohama. The messy intelligence maps and identity information filled the entire desk.

There was a dark spot under the boy's eyes, and the rented apartment was filled with garbage. It seemed that he had been living in the house for a long time.

Just to track down Jie Shuyi without sleep, to observe the latest situation of the detective agency in real time, to make sure he would not miss any news from Jie Shuyi.

Of course, he couldn't say a word of these words.

Taguchi Rokuzo spoke with a thick bubbling voice, "Did you forget? I had already had these two days off for Halloween."

Xie Shuyi finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but sigh with envy, "It's so good to go to school."

He dragged out the last line of his voice, with a hint of disappointment in his tone. For a moment, Taguchi Rokuzo didn't know what to say in response.

He had known for a long time that Xie Shuyi was forced to drop out of school, and he had investigated the reasons behind it, so naturally he could not joke with Xie Shuyi about this matter.

Taguchi Rokuzo pondered for a moment, picked up the document on the table and opened the top page.

"After getting the phone, have you read today's news?"

"not yet."

Taguchi Rokuzo paused, "So you called me right after you escaped death?"

Xie Shuyi almost didn't react to what the boy was asking because of his unconventional thinking.

"No, I went shopping at the mall and changed into some nice clothes."

Taguchi Rokuzo hummed lightly, making it impossible to tell what his emotion was.

Xie Shuyi thought he was concerned that he hadn't read the news first, so he continued, "Besides, I think you will tell me about major events. Rather than piecing together the truth from fragmentary clues myself, I prefer to eat a big fat man in one bite."

Taguchi Rokuzo heard the teasing in his tone and laughed in agreement, "Let me tell you one thing at a time."

"I'm all ears." Xie Shuyi sat on a bench on the street. It was late autumn, and the cold wind blew on his body, penetrating his sweatshirt, making him still feel a little cold.

"Kamiu, a member of the Celestial Beings, kidnapped Hanabiro Tayama, Doppo Kunikida, and Yukichi Fukuzawa in three days. His actions were very targeted, and he was only trying to capture the members of the Detective Agency."

He finished speaking, but there was no anxious questioning from the other side. Taguchi Rokuzo asked curiously, "Why don't you seem anxious at all?"

"It's a good thing someone is willing to take everyone from the detective agency out of the hound's prison, isn't it?"

Taguchi Rokuzo was not stupid. He flicked the ash from his cigarette and exhaled a puff of thick smoke. He said with a smile, "You already knew that Kamui was played by Ranpo?"

Xie Shuyi replied, "Trusting your companions is the basic rule of survival."

"I have to tell you, his follow-up plans are also very exciting." Taguchi Rokuzo compressed all the collected information into a file package and sent it to Jie Shuyi.

The latter clicked and flipped through the pages, and he kindly explained them to them.

"After the Skyline Casino's currency bombs were discovered, the Hounds quickly destroyed them all. Unfortunately, the Skyline Casino's existence had already caused the miniature bombs to circulate, so what they did was just a way to stop the damage."

Xie Shuyi frowned, "Is there already a currency explosion around the world?"

I don’t know if it was because of his interference, but it seemed to have accelerated the progress of Fyodor’s plan.

Given Fyodor's character, he would not put the currency explosion issue on the agenda so quickly. Since he chose to push it forward when the situation was at its most critical, he wanted to completely destroy the Armed Detective Agency.

"There have been numerous explosions, and in just one day, the death toll has exceeded 100."

Xie Shuyi clenched his phone tightly, "What does this have to do with Ranpo?"

Xie Shuyi couldn't guarantee whether his disruption would prevent the Hound from implicating Sigma and the Armed Detective Agency.

But as long as there are people willing to investigate, and if the real culprit behind the incident cannot be found, this unwarranted anger will most likely be linked to the detective agency.

Blaming the terrorist attack on the terrorist armed detective agency, Xie Shuyi had already seen from the documents that the United Nations had established a joint anti-terrorism agency for this incident.

At this moment, the detective agency is under attack from all sides.

Taguchi Rokuzo heard the worry in his tone, "Don't worry, nothing serious has happened to him, he just did something earth-shattering."

Xie Shuyi scrolled down the document quickly, briefly mentioning incidents of coin explosions in various countries until he stopped at a picture at the bottom of the document.

He looked at the person among them who was laughing ostentatiously, and the curve of Xie Shuyi's mouth was frozen on his face.

He clicked on the photo and enlarged it. The person in the photo was showing his big teeth and making a happy gesture.

Even though he was not at the scene, Xie Shuyi still felt as if he was there. He could sense the tension in the situation and the ease and complacency of the parties involved.

Xie Shuyi's mouth twitched slightly, "Ranpo wouldn't hold a press conference to prove his innocence at this time, right?"

"Bingo is right." Taguchi Rokuzo replied with a smile.

"At the clarification press conference held by the director of KS Company and his lover, even during a live broadcast, Mr. Ranpo appeared alone at the scene."

"He took the opportunity to show the public the threatening video that the Armed Detective Agency received from Nikolai."

"He found evidence to prove his innocence and not only posted it on the live broadcast, but also sent the same documents to all police-related facilities beforehand."

"The evidence included fingerprints and hair from the scene, the hostage change plan, and the purchase record of the chainsaw. His testimony was flawless."

"The documents even list evidence that could not have been left behind or disappeared after the Armed Detective Agency prepared a terrorist attack."

"But we all know that because of the power of the book, no one will believe that the detective agency is innocent. So under the conditions of live broadcast, Ranpo explained the power of the book to everyone."

"You didn't see the reaction on the Internet. They called Mr. Ranpo a crazy terrorist."

"They say that the special paper that can change reality, and the content written on it will become a real event. It's just an absurd excuse for terrorists to get away with it."

"He said that the real murderer wrote [The Armed Detective Agency is the mastermind behind the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man incident], and the real murderer wrote [Police personnel firmly believe that the Armed Detective Agency is the culprit]."

"After he confessed everything, he was arrested and taken away by the guards who came. He did not struggle at all and was calm and composed throughout."

“Even before he left the live broadcast, he was still able to smile for the camera.”

【Don’t just think from your perspective and career perspective. 】

[It’s been 12 years. In the past 12 years, I have solved tens of thousands of cases.]

【Think about it carefully. 】

[If I, a famous detective, were the perpetrator of a terrorist attack, do you think I would make such a low-level mistake that would lead to being wanted? ]

【Use your own eyes to see clearly. 】

【It is actually very simple to become a famous detective. 】

After hearing the last word, Xie Shuyi still sat there quietly, until Taguchi Rokuzo whispered his name, Xie Shuyi seemed to have just come back to his senses.

He gripped the phone tighter and then laughed out loud.

Xie Shuyi couldn't describe what his current mentality was. He had imagined countless possibilities for Ranpo's subsequent plans, but he didn't expect that Ranpo would be as direct as ever.

It’s such a pity that I didn’t see the live scene and Ranpo’s passionate words.

Perhaps for Yokohama, and for the whole world, it is like a pebble thrown into the sea, which cannot create any waves.

As for the ability of books to change human common sense, it is just like an egg hitting a stone or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But all it takes is one person to start believing in the Armed Detective Agency.

As long as Ranpo speaks, he can infect anyone.

The power of the book will be weakened.

In this dispute of public opinion, the detective agency will turn defeat into victory.

"What I want to know is, did anyone believe it?"

In fact, the answer to the question was on the last page of the document, but Xie Shuyi did not have the courage to scroll down.

Although Ranpo's move to enter the game himself was shocking, it was obvious that the price to pay and the consequences to be borne were also serious. If he made a mistake in the slightest move, Ranpo would be doomed.

"Why don't you guess who was the one who rescued Ranpo in the end?"

After hearing Taguchi Rokuzo's question, Xie Shuyi was not so afraid of knowing the truth.

His fingertips slid, but when he saw the familiar face on the last page, the name came out of his mouth, "Officer Minoura!"

"There are not many photos of the scene circulating on the Internet, but the scene of the confrontation between the military and the police is still shocking enough. Ranpo's words obviously worked. With a live broadcast, he forcibly divided the country in two."

Xie Shuyi took over the conversation, "The right police and the wrong police."

"Yes, many people are willing to believe in Ranpo's wisdom and integrity, and are willing to sacrifice their lives and futures for justice."

Xie Shuyi deleted the file he had read and said, "Now it's our turn. After all, this is a fight between the Armed Detective Agency and the Five Degenerates of Heaven. Ordinary people shouldn't be asked to sacrifice their lives for it."

"Everyone from the Armed Detective Agency has gathered together. Tell me their location. They will be in big trouble next."

After asking the question, Taguchi Rokuzo did not answer as quickly as before. Xie Shuyi thought that he needed time to find the location information, but the other party suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong?" Xie Shuyi asked puzzledly.

"It's so rare to hear you express your concern for ordinary people. You've really changed. I really want to go back to see what you look like now."

Hearing this, Xie Shuyi subconsciously glanced at himself in the reflection of the phone screen and said, "Let's not do that. I'm afraid it might scare you."

"The detective agency's people have dispersed after gathering. I recommend that you go to the National Conference Building at the port first. According to the time difference, it will be dawn where you are in about two hours. Around 8 am, a press conference will be held in the National Conference Building. This is about the [Anti-Terrorism Joint Agency], or the United Nations. Those guys hope to get the power of Fukuchi Yingchi to help them completely annihilate the Armed Detective Agency together."

Upon hearing the name of Fudi Yingchi, Jie Shuyi's distracted demeanor finally calmed down.

"Okay, thank you for the information. I'll treat you to a meal when you return."

Until the call was hung up, Taguchi Rokuzo still maintained his previous actions.

After a long while, he stretched lazily.

Even though his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion, he just skillfully took the coffee at his feet, drank it in one gulp, and then placed his fingertips on the keyboard again.

Taguchi Rokuzo had a smile on his face.

He's determined to eat this meal.
