Chapter 5

          Atsushi sighs, "Why isn't Ranpo helping us clean...?" Y/n tilts her head as she shrugs. Ranpo joyfully stares at a marble, "Kunikida! I've got to go!" Kunikida nods, "Were you hired to solve another murder mystery?" Ranpo nods. "Atsushi, you and Y/n are going to go with Ranpo." Atsushi's eyes widened. "Eh?! Isn't being a detective's assistant really important..?" Ranpo chuckles, "Ha! I don't need an assistant! If I had to choose one.... I would probably go with Y/n!" Atsushi raises a brow. "Why Y/n?" Ranpo smiles, "Because! She's the only one who I can trust with my snacks!" Y/n nods as she happily hums. "Wait, why do we have to go with you then?" Ranpo hands Y/n a bag, "Because I never tried to learn how to use a train."

  

            Ranpo, Y/n, and Atsushi walk towards the murder scene. "You're late agents." Ranpo looks around, "Huh? Who are you? Where's Yasui?" The man pulls out his badge, "I'm Minoura. I took this case over from Yasui. The case has been resigned over to my division." Minoura puts away his badge, "You agents aren't needed here anymore." Ranpo gasps, "How stupid!" Y/n hums as she holds the bag she was given close to her chest. "Cases such as this should be over seen by great detectives!" Minoura sighs. "We don't need a private investigator today..... The victim was my own subordinate."
       
         The sheet is pulled off to reveal a woman. Ranpo takes his hat off to show respect, "A lady..." Another officer nods. "She was found floating in the river this morning."  "She was shot three times in the chest. We don't know when or where she was killed. We haven't even found the bullets..." Y/n hums in sadness. As Ranpo and Minoura talk, Atsushi gently taps Y/n's arm. "Are you okay, Y/n?" Y/n nods, her head..... It..... Hurts..... Why..... Does this.... Feel... Familiar..? "Chief! The net has caught something else!"

             "What..?!" Atsushi stares towards the nets, "It's... We caught a man...!" Y/n holds her head, "Hmm...." Atsushi holds Y/n's hand as they run towards the nets, "Could it be a second victim...?!" As the nets slowly bring the man up, it revealed...... An upside down Dazai? "Hey Atsushi! Ah! Y/n! It's so great to see you!" Y/n tilts her head. "Another drowning attempt..?" Dazai waves his finger. "What, committing suicide alone? That's so generic Atsushi!" Dazai sways side to side, "I've come to realize, that if I am to die, I will die with a beautiful woman!" Dazai chuckles, "Lucky for me, I already know who I want that beautiful woman to be..."  "..... So why were you floating in the river?" Dazai blinks, "Oh! That was because I was simply floating along!" Dazai smirks with with his hand resting on his chin. "Oh, why are you and Y/n here anyway?" Atsushi blinks. "We're on a job." Dazai hums, "A job you say? What kind?"

           Dazai flails around as he sprouts plenty of nonsense as he sees the deceased woman. "Who is he..?" Ranpo sighs, "That's Dazai, he's a colleague. And yes, he always acts like this." Dazai exhales dramatically, "Don't worry, ma'am! The greatest detective will avenge you! Right Ranpo?" Ranpo shrugs. "I would, but I haven't been given the job yet." Dazai blinks, "Eh? Why's that?" Ranpo points towards Minoura, "I'm not sure, ask him." Minoura growls, "As I said, we don't need any private investigators. In fact, all of my subordinates are far superior compared to any private detective." Y/n pats Dazai's back as he hugs her, "Oh? Well then...." Ranpo points towards a cop. "What's your name sir?" The man blinks before saluting, "I'm Sargent Sugimura! The victim, Ms. Yamagiwa, was my senior!"

             "Alright then Sugimura! Solve this case in sixty seconds.... Starting now!" Sugimura gasps, "What?!" Ranpo places his hand on Sugimura's shoulder. "I can solve this in under a minute. If you're really as good as you say, you guys should be able too as well!" Ranpo holds up his watch, "You can go ahead and start!" Sugimura panics. "What?!" Ranpo chuckles, "Fifty seconds left!" Sugimura places his hands on his head. "Oh right, Yamagiwa was pursuing a political corruption case as well as investigating the Port Mafia. I believe that this was caused by the Mafia due to how she died..." Dazai hugs Y/n. "That's not true. The Port Mafia's methods are practically the same as a government ID. Her jaw is not shattered." Dazai narrows his eyes, "The method is similar to the Mafia, but not the same. That means...." Minoura's eyes widened. "An attempt at a cover up?"

           "Shooting two extra rounds into the body just for that? How cruel..." Ranpo laughs, "Well! Times up! Too bad, you still have a ways to go before you reach my level! At the very least, this proves your subordinates, are not superior to me at all!" "Oh cut the crap! You've been going on and on about deductions and great detectives. You read too much fanfiction! Cases are solved through investigations, interviewing the person of interest, and analyzing the scene of the crime." Ranpo hums, "Don't you get it? Great detectives like me don't do investigations. My ability, Ultra Deduction, can instantly identify the killer. As well as when and how it happened. After all, I am gifted." Minoura hums. "Giving my line of work, I know about the gifted's existence. But, if you have such a convenient ability, why do my colleagues and I still have our job?" Ranpo smiles, "There you go! Now you get it!" Minoura balls his fist, "Bastard-!!"

            "Now, now, detective! This is just how Ranpo acts!" Ranpo smirks, "After all, my personal motto is : All's well that's well for me!" Atsushi sighs, "I've never heard a more convincing motto in my life..." Y/n nods, "Hmmm...." Minoura scoffs. "Fine. Since you speak so highly of this ability, let's see it." "Oh? Does that mean I can officially solve this case? You should have just asked from the start!" Minoura laughs. "You sure are confident, despite the lack of evidence! Want me to count to sixty?" Ranpo smirks as he pulls out glasses, "I don't need that long..." Ranpo puts on the glasses, "Ability: Ultra Deduction!" Ranpo hums as he pushes his glasses up, "I see.." Minoura scoffs. " 'I see' my ass. Are you saying you know who the killer is?" "Of course! The killer is.... You."

             Sugimura blinks, "Huh?" Minoura laughs, "Really? Sugimura is my subordinate!" Ranpo nods. "Sugimura is the one who killed her." "Don't be stupid! It's impossible that the killer would be this close to the crime scene in the first place!" Ranpo sighs, "It's exactly because he is the killer, he wants to stay close to the investigation. Besides, I already said, I know where the evidence is! Hand me your gun, Sugimura!" Sugimura tries to reason with them, but ultimately is told to hand Ranpo the gun to get this over with. Sugimura, knowing he is caught, pulls out his gun and points it towards Ranpo..... Before anything could happen, Y/n kicks the gun out of Sugimura's hand and pins him to the ground. As everyone stares in shock, Ranpo kneels close to Y/n as he explains everything that had occured.

     

                 After dealing with the murder, Ranpo, Y/n, Dazai, and Atsushi walk back towards the agency. Atsushi walks beside Dazai, "Ranpo is amazing! I had no idea he would find everything out! His ability is super amazing!" Dazai hums as he watches Ranpo cling to Y/n...... "Though, I think I might've been able to solve half of it." Atsushi tilts his head, "Half of what?" Dazai blinks. "The case just now, about how Ranpo figured it out." Atsushi raises a brow, "But I thought his ability did that?" Dazai pauses and blinks. "Oh, you still don't know yet. Ranpo doesn't have a gift." Atsushi blinks, "Eh?!" Dazai clears his throat, "To further prove he has no ability, I pinched some of his hair earlier. As you know, I can neutralize any ability if I touch them." Atsushi raises a brow. "Then how did he...?" Dazai shrugs, "It was just a deduction."
