The case had been dragging on for hours, but Ranpo’s energy never wavered. You followed him through the quiet streets, knowing that the solution was just around the corner for him.

"I’m pretty sure it’s this way," Ranpo said, glancing back with a grin. "Think you can guess what’s inside, or should I just solve it?"

You didn’t answer, knowing that he'd figure it out first.

Inside the building, Ranpo immediately began searching, his sharp eyes scanning everything with ease. "Check the desk over there," he called, already moving to another corner.

As you sifted through papers, Ranpo’s voice broke through the silence. "Found it."

You turned to see him holding up a small, worn business card, a faint name scribbled on the back. It looked insignificant, but Ranpo’s expression was already focused.

"This is our link," he said, eyes gleaming.

You stared at the card, skeptical. "That?"

Ranpo smirked. "It's not the card. It's the name. Ties back to the syndicate we’re after. Small, but important."

You nodded, impressed as always. "Well, guess it was easy for you."

Ranpo smiled, clearly satisfied. "Told you."
