3rd POV

Everyone was already heading to their respective locations but Team C, your team.

"What are we waiting for? Shouldn't we be going with them?" Tachihara asked.

Honestly, he was confused as to why he was in Team C and not B when Team C is literally composed of only extremely intelligent or strong members.

"We are waiting for Dazai to give us a call," Ranpo answered.

"In the meantime, let me explain what would be happening," You announced, "What I said earlier about going after Fyodor only when Team A fails was a complete lie."

"What do you mean?" Chuuya asked.

"We won't be waiting until Team A fails as Fyodor won't be there in the first place."

"So how are we going to catch him?"

"With the help of Fitzgerald, we'll be using Eyes of God to locate his whereabouts. Then Ango will come with his men to arrest him. We are using Teams A and B as bait to catch Fyodor."

"Won't he think it is suspicious that Chuuya-san and Dazai-san won't be participating in capturing him?"

"Nope, that won't happen because we asked Jun'ichiro to make a double of the us but Y/N," Ranpo explained, "We'll have Y/N pretend like she's guarding the two bosses in case he decides to go after them."

*DING*

*DING*

*DING*

"It's from Dazai, he said that Fitzgerald agreed so I guess all we have to do now is wait."

You, Ranpo, and Chuuya have been playing cards while waiting for Dazai as Tachiara decided not to play.

He was sitting down fidgeting still wondering why he was here and not with Team B, "Umm, L/N-san..."

"Yes?"

"Why am I on this team and not with Team B?"

"Because I see so much potential in you so I wanted you to watch us and how we handle these kinds of situations in action."

Ranpo and Chuuya looked at him suspiciously causing him to sweatdrop.

"How could a mere servant like myself be compared to that of you guys..."

"Trust me, you have so much potential than most. Perhaps you will become an Executive one day."

"..."

You suddenly smiled, "I bet if Atsushi and Akutagawa went up against Dazai and Chuuya, they just might win," You thought.

"You might be right," Ranpo agreed.

"Yeah, but Dazai's a lunatic. In just pure strength alone, they probably will win, but if not Dazai can't be beaten so easily. If he could, I would have killed him a hundred times already," Chuuya spoke making everyone agree, "I do wonder who is the smartest out of the four intellects."

All of you assumed he was talking about you, Ranpo, Dazai, and Fyodor.

"Well, I just so happen to remember a certain night where Ango was analyzing the three of us but Fyodor.

This is what I think, in terms of raw deductive and analytical intelligence, Ranpo simply cannot be beat. He sees through everything from a technical standpoint. All info is transparent, impossible to hide anything factual from him.

Fyodor is a bit more similar to Dazai. He sees through people and uses this to manipulate them. He predicts people's actions and crafts flawless plans to target their human vulnerability. Then he takes people's strengths and turns them into weaknesses exactly why we cannot have Ranpo solve this case all by himself. In the context of this specific skill, he likely tops everyone.
