Chapter 18

"So, what do we do now? We can't just go back to japan with the discovery we've made just now" Yosano said.

"First we'll call the police so they can take care of the bodies" Fukuzawa said and gave Ranpo orders to call them

"Then, if I'm being honest, then this is no longer any of our buisness, this is something higher than the agency and the government. If what Ranpo said is true and this was part of his training, a test to see him- to see them, prove their ability in killing without care, in doing such inhuman things and 'prepare' them for life.  I doubt it would have been encessary given how they have lived their lives, but if that was really it and what they're doing right now is acctually mostly selfprotection and revenge instead of simply going rouge, then we have no right to interfere.

The Ariyoshi are far superior to the government and all other organizations, we as agency are not classified to handle it. However, if we say that to Hichiraka and Hideo, then they'll call us out for knowing Dazai is the demon prodigy. They must know that, but if they know we know, then Dazai won't simply be suspisious, but found out and arrested for sure. So we're staying here for a bit longer until we get notice they have done something in japan"

Yosano nodded to it, while Ranpo returned to them after calling the police. They arrived pretty fast, luckily due to their status as agents and the fact, that they were legally working, the police did not have the rights to take them in for questioning or arrest them. They finished up with the police, telling them only as much as they needed to know to clase the case and never touch it again. So, two and a half wasted hours explaining to unclassified policemen, why the certain person did it, without acctually telling why they did it.

"Looks like your little friends founbd the bodies" Sawako commented, when they saw two police cars park in front of the loby and four policemen get out and run into the building.

"So, since we know who did it anyways, how about this virus you wanted to install. How far are you willing to go?" Dazai asked playfully, completely ignoring the event.

"As far as you can do" Sawako answered

"As far as I can do? So you're saying, I should ...?"

"Yes, if you can, then do that"

"Fine then, but I'll leave the agency out as a sort of apology, don't question it, just leave the comment as it is" Dazai said sternly. "Could you get us another round of coffee?"

He opened a laptop and began his work.

As it turned out, waiting until they heard something from japan took about five seconds after leaving the building, as Fukuzawas phone rang.

"A payphone number from Japan?" He asked, recognizing the typical numbers in the beginning.
"looks like they're faster than we thought, pick up and put the speaker on" Ranpo commented

"President of the armed detective agency, Yukichi Fukuzawa" Fukuzawa answered.

"Fukuzawa-san" the voice greeded, Hideo Aburaki. Why was he calling from a payphone?

"Hideo-san, why are you calling us by payphone?" Ranpo asked, he had two ideas and neither of them were good.

"To be honest, I'm surprised your phone is still working."

"Why?" Fukuzawa asked. There while Ranpo was looking around, that's when he realized something, all the people around them, desperately tapping around on their phones, he looked back inside and saw the tvs flickering, the elevator door was stuck half open. What was going on here? Was this someones ability?

"every electronical device, that is connected to another by some code, number or wire has been effected by some weird virus, Hicharaka's experts don't know what it is, but it has taken apart the entire online system, the only stuff still running is these old payphones, cars and busses and vital machines in hospitals, at least most of them. Everything that relies on Wifi, interenet or Gps is gone on a global base"

By now the president and Yosano had also seen what was happening around them.

"Well, then I guess we're stuck in america for the moment. Where did this virus come from?"

"Well apparently, unfortunately it came from Hichirakas organisation, from Ashai Kuraos account, however Ashai Kurao has been on vacation for three days now and they don't have the option to log into their accounts unless they're in their office. Did you do this as some sort of security mesurement?"

"we did not, but if Ashai Kuraos was the account this was taken from, then I believe we know who it was."

"What why?"

"Ashai Kuraos was the one who gave away the information. We have some news thought. I'm sorry to tell you this, but Tyler smith has been killed, we found him and his wife dead in his office." Fukuzawa told the men

"Damn it, these monsters" Hideo cursed, "Why are they doing this, if it wasn't even one of us, they are both said to be geniuses, so why? Why weren't they smart enough to do what Ranpo did? They are heartless monsters, sir, you have to get them. Please. First they blow my headquaters to pieces, killing 1800 people, then they kill countless of Hichirakas employees and now Tyler and his wife. This is too much even for such people as them."

Fukuzawa was getting angry again. These government officials had no problemn with ordering 300.000 people dead for no apparent reason, but once they were personally effected, it was bad.

"I understand your feelings and I agree, that this situation is terrible, but perhaps you start to watch your mouths, if you can sentence an entire city to death, you should be able to get over this easily, after all to the government, all human life is precious, right?"
Fukuzawa said and hung up before he got even angrier.
