Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 681

It was already night after the funeral, and Katsuto, who had just sent his girlfriend off, was walking along the street in a daze with his suit on, his girlfriend's remains seemed to be still in front of his eyes.

The joking and laughing of passers-by woke Shengren up, making him think about tomorrow's work.

If I think about having to deal with an asshole boss, I feel hopeless. If it wasn't for the excessive work pressure, if it wasn't for the excessive overtime, if it wasn't for the asshole boss who blamed him after an accident, if he cared more, his girlfriend wouldn't be in this situation. the point.

Shengren suddenly stopped in his tracks and raised his head in astonishment. A young man in a black dress was standing in front of him at some point, as if he was waiting for him. After thinking about it, he seemed to be the young detective who was reported on TV. Immediately stare.

Why is the famous detective here?
"You are……"

"Mr. Shengren," Gao Cheng nodded slightly, "Do you have time?"

In a nearby bar, Gao Cheng ordered a glass of Coke without wine under the bartender's dazed gaze, but the decadent-looking Shengren next to him ordered the drink.

Shengren is the young man who was outside the mourning hall during the farewell ceremony before. Because of his girlfriend's suicide, he seemed to be quite self-blaming, and coupled with the depression of work and life, he subconsciously wanted to get drunk.

As a social animal, he still has the ability to drink, but when Gao Cheng deliberately asks for Coke, he is still a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

He never knew that he could order Coke here, what a failure...

But no one will come here to order Coke, right?
Shengren's thoughts kept on sitting and chatting with Gao Cheng.

"Alcohol can paralyze the brain, so I don't touch alcohol very much, and drink a little at most," said Chao Shengren when Gao Cheng got the Coke and felt distressed about the price. "So you don't know that your girlfriend has suicidal tendencies? The last time we met, or She entrusted me to find you..."

"I'm sorry Yuriko..." Katsuto lowered his head.

"Since the work pressure is so great, haven't you considered changing jobs?"

"Resign? But..." Shengren smiled wryly.

"Feel sorry."

Gao Cheng knew that he had asked unnecessary questions, and the "club first" thinking in Japanese society was completely different from his.

The impact of the lifetime employment system is too great, and it has become a social problem. Even such young people seldom use resignation to solve the problem.

The girl who committed suicide this time was a graduate of Dongdae University. This kind of famous college student can be said to be the existence of the social elite. The suicide was also due to pressure, but she just condemned the company in her suicide note.

When solving the problem, suicide is still above the choice of resignation...

"Didi!" The phone on Shengren's body suddenly rang, and he frantically connected the phone, bowing over and over again.

"Yes, Minister, I'm going over now..."

"What's the matter?" Gao Cheng looked at Shengren putting away his phone depressedly at last, and asked in surprise, "Are you going to work today?"

"No," Katsuto said hesitantly, "Today is the minister's holiday, and I used to accompany him to practice kendo..."

Gao Cheng's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Does your company have a special sword dojo?"

"It's the dojo in the business district, and the owner of the hall is our minister..."

"If it's a sparring partner, I'll help you."

"Eh?"

"I happen to be going there," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "Although I feel that you need to exercise to vent your anger, it's too much to accompany your boss at this time..."

"Does Detective Kido know how to do kendo?" Katsuto hesitated, "The minister is very good, and he has won the kendo competition. Maybe he will be injured..."

"It's okay if it's just a sparring partner." Gao Cheng thought for a while, "How long will it take?"

"By 10 o'clock," Shengren said shyly, "I'll go by myself..."

"Since it's a dojo, there's no need to pull your subordinates over there, right?"

Gao Cheng shook his head.

Kendo is already very popular in Japan, and the dojo where the head of a big company goes is not that bad, not to mention that the opponent was once a kendo champion, so it is impossible to practice in the dojo without someone to accompany him.

Tokyo at night is still bustling with neon lights. Gao Chengshun and Katsuto went to the business district together, and curiously followed them to the dojo. It was different from the private mansion dojo, school dojo, and police department dojo in the impression. The dojo is in a commercial building.

"The 29th floor is our company, and the dojo is on the 12th floor." Katsuto looked at Gao Cheng who was following behind him, and introduced, "Everyone usually goes down to practice, but they are not as good as the minister. If Detective Kido likes If so, you can move on.”

Shengren still didn't ask Gao Cheng to help, maybe because he didn't want to cause trouble to outsiders, he just suppressed the disappointment after attending the funeral, and redressed himself as a bright white-collar worker.

"Don't worry about me." Gao Cheng has already called Xiao Ai, but he is not in a hurry to go back.

To be honest, he himself seldom goes to places like dojos, and usually practices alone.

The inside of the sword dojo is the same as the ordinary dojo, with a wide wooden floor, but it looks more luxurious. There are already many people wearing protective gear and fighting back and forth.

After watching it for a while, Gao Cheng also understood, and was a little disappointed.

Opening a dojo in this kind of place is obviously for the white-collar workers to vent their pressure, other aspects are very casual, except for the excitement, it is just lively.

Is it just to make the subordinates fight hard with grievances?
This minister is really talented...

"Haha, let's stop for a while, Mr. Kondo is still so powerful!"

In the corner of the dojo, a burly man wearing a kendo uniform who seemed to be the curator stopped everyone. The middle-aged man who was called Kondo on the opposite side also sweated a lot after taking off his mask, but his breathing was very steady.

"I train as soon as I have time. If I were a swordsman in ancient times," the middle-aged man said with a serious face, "If it's not that I don't have time, where would it be for those juniors in the current kendo competition? But Iwakawa, the one from last time You promised to sell the famous sword to me..."

"I also wanted to get Ju Qianyo, but unfortunately I was a step too late," the curator said regretfully, "I haven't found out about Ju Qianyo's whereabouts yet."

Kikuchiyo?
Gao Cheng's ears moved.

It seems that it was the famous sword handed down from the Suwa family in the past, and it also caused a murder case. Suwa Yuji is still in prison.

"It's a pity," the middle-aged man shook his head, suddenly noticed Shengren who brought Gao Cheng into the dojo, and frowned, "Why did you come here? It's because you are the only one who is good at swordsmanship that I came to you!"

"Sorry, Minister, today I..."

"Forget it, change clothes quickly!"

The middle-aged man looked impatient.

A newcomer is a newcomer, he is not sensible at all, if it is not for the sake of taking the blame for himself, why would he stay in the headquarters...

Gao Cheng changed into his white kendo uniform in the lounge, feeling like he hadn't seen it for a long time.

Speaking of it, it has been a long time since I practiced swordsmanship in the past, and now I just avoid hands-on skills and occasionally familiarize myself with swordsmanship at home.

With his current swordsmanship, he has almost reached the pinnacle of this world. It is impossible to be as outrageous as the world of Lake Toya Gintama...

"Hello." When Gao Cheng sat down, he nodded politely to an uncle with sunken eyes beside him.

There is no one around the same age as Gao Cheng, at least they are all in their 2s and 30s.

Normally speaking, Gao Cheng is still in college at this age, or he would not come to such an occasion.

Looking at Gao Cheng suspiciously, the uncle turned his gaze to the field.

Just as Gao Cheng thought, this is just a kendo field for white-collar workers to release their pressure, so naturally there won't be any masters, but Minister Kondo is an exception.

"Your friend is going to be unlucky again," the uncle said with emotion. "It's not easy to practice with Minister Kondo. With Minister Kondo's strength, one can beat two without any problem..."

"Oh."

Gao Jianzhi thought that he was misunderstood as a friend of Shengren, and did not explain.

Although it doesn't matter much, it's just because of the suicide case that they met twice, but they can be regarded as passerby friends.

The winner in the field has already worn the kendo suit and protective gear at night. From the perspective of movement, he is indeed good, at least he is very good among this group of ordinary white-collar workers. It seems that he must have been the leader of the kendo club in school before.

Gao Cheng focused his attention on the middle-aged man opposite him.

Said to be the champion of kendo competition, but Gao Cheng is quite unfamiliar with kendo competitions in this world, and has only seen a student competition in Osaka, so he doesn't know what the strength of a kendo champion is.

One hits two...it shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Crack!!" The victor in the field was obviously at a disadvantage, but he seemed to be struggling during the warm-up stage. After the middle-aged man broke out, he retreated again and again, and was quickly defeated. Even with the protection of the protective gear, Gao Cheng was still Feel the pain.

The gap is too big, it is simply bullying...

Gao Cheng couldn't bear to look directly at him, but he couldn't help much.

It is actually not difficult to let Shengren win, but the other party is also Shengren's minister, and it would be even worse if he lost to Shengren.

"It's so useless!" The middle-aged man was a little disappointed, "Why is it so different from last time? Let's have another person..."

Gao Cheng stared blankly at Sheng Ren who was sitting on the ground panting.

Could this guy have been up all day?Speaking of which, last night was indeed all night...

"Excuse me," Gao Cheng raised his hand when he saw Shengren who was about to push himself up, "How about I come?"

"Huh?" The middle-aged man looked at the young Gao Cheng in astonishment, feeling a little familiar, "Who are you? Okita from Kyoto?"

Thinking of Okita Souji, the middle-aged man's face darkened slightly.

A high school student in Kyoto actually came all the way here...

"No," Gao Cheng met everyone's questioning gazes speechlessly, "We're just a little bit alike..."

"Nonsense! What kind of trouble is a child doing?!" The middle-aged man became even more angry.

"Uh, actually, I'm pretty good at swordsmanship," Gao Cheng said, "Is it okay? Anyway, it's just practice."
