One hundred and fifty-two: Edogawa Detective Agency

"It's a pity that it's unlikely for a long time," I poured cold water on her, "but if you're lucky, there will still be hope in a few decades or even a few years, don't worry about those distant fantasies, Apricot Jam, remember a little bit, if you meet a strange big sister who uses a beautiful looking prospect to kidnap you to be a witch, don't just agree, it's better to ignore her and turn her head away, once you are abducted, you will never see your sister and mother again!" ”

"Huh? Huh! ”

"That's how serious it is," I was pleased with the little girl's panic, which indicated that Sister Purple would suffer a major setback if she had a follow-up plot against the Hakurei witch, "Ah, there is no need to hide it from your sister, Apricot Jam should have seen it before yesterday, and besides, I have seen the mysterious little black cat that can talk, and your sister has no less secrets than you, but she chooses to explain it to you gradually." Sisters www.biquge.info should be honest with each other, otherwise something bad is likely to happen. ”

"Iβ€”I know......," Kyoko's voice lowered, and she seemed ashamed of her efforts to hide it at first, "but I can see that my sister has been working hard, and Iβ€”I don't want to worry about my sister." ”

"The two-tailed black cat that can talk has been raised by you, what else is there to worry about, besides, most of your sister's troubles have been solved, let her take the time to tell you...... Anyway, I haven't seen Ah Yi since yesterday, why did it go? ”

"Oh! Really, I haven't seen it for a day, and I don't know where Xiao Hei and Ah Yi went to play. ”

"Maybe you're looking for a buddy?" The Reimu incarnation that controls the formation of the little demons has disappeared, so there shouldn't be too much worry about Ah Yi's safety - if it's going to find the Thunder Beast.

Then, my dear sister returned to the side hall with a casserole of porridge that seemed to have a lot of minced meat and green onions, and after my sister washed her face, brushed her teeth and straightened her hair, she watched her gobble it up.

Maybe she can't stand her sister, who is getting more and more slimy and nervous, Kyoko insists on going to the school's kendo club to report on the weekend group training with lunch on the grounds that she is full and too energetic, and then pats her stomach and runs out.

"Wellβ€”though your behavior is normal, but the atmosphere you created scared my sister away," I said, "but it should be on the bright side, maybe tonight she will tell you what happened to her and her little secrets, and you should exchange a little more secrets with your sister to maintain mutual trust." ”

"Apricot has really become a cultivator?"

"It's not that simple, you have to watch her, maybe one day she will be abducted."

There is nothing important today, and the last thing I want to do in the outside world - Ayaki Nakamura's farewell ceremony - is tomorrow, so what should I do today? After thinking about it, I decided to notify Rabit that the Eighth Army Cao would cancel the mission first, and take Masako, who was already an employee of the detective agency, to find the boss of Edogawa to make a familiar face.

Before contacting Edogawa, I first approached Rabbit Eighth Army Cao, who rejected my suggestion to retreat on the grounds of professionalism, and said that a follow-up plan of action could only be decided upon upon receiving a notice from the direct client, i.e., Edogawa.

I think he is really a person with high work ethics, so he led a face, "It turns out that the so-called protection is a perverted voyeur!" Miss Masako, with a look on her face, rushed to the subway station, and at this time, the email sent to ask for the precise address of the detective agency's office had been answered.

Half an hour later, the "Edogawa Detective Agency", next to a small and unclean alley, a small plastic sign hung next to a glass door that seemed to be mottled and old due to the frequent cleaning of sticker tabloids.

So far, I have not surprised the private detective, until I pushed the door in, and I was greeted by a beautiful lady who was nearly five centimeters taller than me, dressed as a professional office woman, and a second ago I still thought that the assistant of the private investigator Edogawa should be a thin and slender but energetic young guy, and in the middle of my thoughts, the assistant lady in the suit and skirt said: "Welcome to the Edogawa detective agency, the two of you have made an appointment, please come with me, Mr. Edogawa is waiting in the room." ”

The so-called inner room is the other half of the small storefront separated by a wall, the spiritless detective uncle leans back against the swivel chair with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, his legs resting on the messy desk, and the assistant lady withdraws with a professional smile without any extra words.

"You seem to have new troubles." I say.

"Every day there are new troubles, it's so hard to be a human being, I heard that Miss Fran has given me a new trouble? About a famous performer? ”

"Isn't that a job, and it's not what I found for you, but it was introduced by Miss Masako Daigo, an active female high school student who wants to work at your detective agency, eh, although it is a theft of your name."

"Ahh Hello Mr. Edogawa, I'm Masako Daigo, so please advise. ”

"Isn't this the new trouble...... Okay, okay, I'm short of people to do odd jobs, Miss Daigo, Masako Daigo, she seems to be very honest and reliable, and she won't disappoint. However, the salary may not be satisfactory, it depends on the monthly turnover, sometimes you need to work overtime from time to time, or even work overnight, if you are worried about affecting your studies, it is best to think about it. ”

"I don't mind! Whether it's a salary, a chore, or a job, as long as I can make myself more reliable, I'm willing to do anything! I am also confident that it will not affect my studies, and I will definitely take advantage of the opportunity that Lord Alice gave me! ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I'm more optimistic about you."

Seeing that the new employee and the boss would not have conflicts or even signs of getting along, I reassured to change the subject: "The mature working woman just now gave you a kind of ...... Well, what a waste of talent, although after last night's banquet I found that you seem to have some popularity in the 'upper class' circles. ”

"Well, I think so too," Uncle Edogawa replied with a mature and masculine voice, "but it's better to waste talent than to be harassed by your boss in a big company in the past, and it's a small problem to make less money." ”

"Let's talk about the new troubles that the famous young performers have brought me."

"I don't know, he left his contact information for Masako, let you contact him, then it has nothing to do with me, and I don't bother to care at the moment, what I want to say is, has Xiaolin contacted you? It is the Xiao Lin at the top of the forum, the successful entrepreneur Xiao Lin, one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of the behind-the-scenes organization, Xiao Lin, who lent the jade magic weapon to his subordinates to use. ”

"Oh - I received an anonymous email, telling about the recent handling of the jade block magic weapon and the previous clues, the clues were roughly interrupted before the silver brother sword of the monster mutual aid group that Miss Fran encountered, looking at the description of the email, it is not like it was deliberately concealed, but the person who described it is not clear, but I finally have a clue to continue to investigate, listen to what you mean, the new active user of the forum, Kobayashi, turned out to be the leader of the organization behind the control of most of the cult groups in Tokyo, And this behind-the-scenes organization is the same thing as a support group created by a pinned post? ”

"Yes."

"Ah, it's not surprising, thank you for your help."

"You also helped me monitor the perimeter of the Daigo Dojo," I said instead, "Xiao Lin doesn't seem to know who the real culprit of the Jade Block Magic Weapon Destruction Case is, but it is enough for him to provide clues to trace it, and I can only help you get here, and I will have to take the initiative to find some other trouble after tomorrow." ”

"Yes, I hope there is still a chance to cooperate."
