Chapter 169

Nakajima Atsushi didn't need to speak loudly, Edogawa Ranpo's voice was loud enough to be transmitted directly to the mobile phone radio.

"You are really easy to get angry, because it not only involves you, but also your favorite member of the detective agency?" - Atsushi-kun, please tell Ranpo this

on my behalf." Nakajima Atsushi repeated what Matsumoto Seicho said truthfully.

Edogawa Ranpo: "You dare to mention it?"

Nakajima Atsushi: "Don't, don't get excited, Mr. Ranpo..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "You disappeared without a trace, and then I recalled the memory of breaking up with you a long time ago, and then you began to appear in Yokohama with the ridiculous identity of the Prime Minister's assassin, and wrote things that implied that "the Armed Detective Agency is indeed an evil party." I know that you have always been at odds with me, and you are still provoking me now. Aren't you a bit of a jerk? "

Nakajima Atsushi was confused by Ranpo's non-stop chatter. Is he angry

because the other party is missing? That shouldn't be the case. It seems that Mr. Matsumoto often couldn't find him before... and the one who was angry was often Mr. Zenin who came to the door. Is he

angry because the past was tampered with? But this is not Mr. Matsumoto's fault at all!

And Mr. Matsumoto's "Raven Law" did in fact reverse the situation of the detective agency, although they still have not completely restored their innocence.

I don't understand, I have no idea what Mr. Ranpo is angry about!

Nakajima Atsushi can only start thinking about how to convey this.

Matsumoto Seicho smiled on the other end of the phone: ""I also have my own difficulties. But you reminded me. I thought you were happy to play detective games, but when I saw the press conference, you looked completely furious." - Thank you, Atsushi. "

Nakajima Atsushi: "..."

No, if he replied like that, Edogawa Ranpo would visibly explode.

Help! Why must he be caught in the middle and suffer like this?

Nakajima Atsushi tentatively handed the phone to Edogawa Ranpo, only to get a cold snort from the famous detective.

"Matsumoto teacher... said he has a secret." Atsushi could only say with difficulty.

"What kind of secret can make you more and more stupid in the past few years?" Just as Atsushi had expected, Ranpo was about to jump up on the spot.

He came in front of Atsushi, but his voice was deliberately lowered.

"Matsumoto Seicho, stop meddling in other people's business, and don't expect to see the famous detective make a fool of himself, go back to your Tokyo."

Nakajima Atsushi was really scared. Mr. Ranpo had never said such harsh words before. He stammered: "Actually, actually I can just hand over the phone..."
