“Because need someone to show me how to use the train.” 

That was what he said. Being a ‘greatest’ detective Ranpo had zero idea on how trains work not even being able to get a ticket. Masumi looks up at Atsushi since he had to be the one to pay since she never went on a train.

The way to where they had to be was silent, Ranpo blabbering how great he is and how the police need him for everything. Atsushi was invested while Masumi sat in silence, she still wanted to talk to him but she didn’t want to interrupt him since Dazai always said it was rude.

They soon got to their destination to see the police and investigate. A man dressed in a long coat and another man in a police outfit. “You're detective.” the man scolded. Masumi looked at the crime scene and all the other police investigations in the background.

Masumi looked up at Ranpo, it seemed by his expression he was confused. “Who’re you? Where’s Yasui-san?” Ranpo asked, looking up at the man before him. “I’m Minouchi. Yasui’s replacement.” Minouchi explained. “Our department is handling this case. We don't need you or your agency.”

“Oh, rubbish! A master detective like myself is always in need for difficult cases like these!” Ranpo chimed, not taking no for an answer. Masumi didn't blame him for not wanting to take no for an answer, having to be called to come here only for them to say they don't need him. “Because the victim was my subordinate.” Minouhchi mentions, which is a pause for them but only a bit. “Wouldn't it be good if someone smarter helps instead of sulking thinking you can do it yourself?” Masumi whispered so no one really hears, to her it felt like it was pathetic to say no to someone who did cases like these just because they were their subordinate.

The conversation was getting boring for Masumi, she didn’t need to get involved and since something bad happened she decided to stay low. She wondered what Chuuya was doing.

She didn’t realise how long she zoned out until she saw the body of a lady with Ranpo and Atsushi staring at it. She sped walked over to them looking down at the body, the lady looked pretty. It was a shame she died but Masumi didn't really care due to having no remorse.

“HEY WE GOT SOMETHING IN THE NET” a man shouted, turning everyone’s attention to them. Everyone including Masumi ran over (she and Ranpo actually jogged). “We caught another body!” they shouted.

Everyone was panicking about how they found another body, sweat going down their faces, having one body was bad enough and it was gonna cause a mess. Masumi just thought it was gonna be some stranger, if she didn’t know the person then she wouldn't care Dazai always told her not to.

The net went up revealing it was caught in it, Atsushi, Ranpo and Manouchi panicked whatever it was they probably hoped it wasn’t human. Masumi would be sad if it was a fish. There was a foot and then a leg only to reveal… Dazai.
