Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 286 My Plan Is Perfect
My name is Kozaburo Hijikata, I am 51 years old, and I am a well-known period drama actor.

The period dramas I filmed when I was young also had spectacular scenes of empty streets, and I also experienced crowds of fans, making it difficult to travel.

At that time, I thought all of this was very annoying, but now it's all gone.

The era of period dramas is coming to an end. What is popular now is either idol love or suspense reasoning, and there is a trend of merging the two recently.

I am indeed too old to do this kind of drama, but if I condescend to play the role of the little white-faced elders and carry the sedan chair for them, I still can't hold back my face, so my exposure rate is getting lower and lower, and my reputation is getting worse. It won't work.

I am not content with this status quo, but I have to accept the reality that actors like me are becoming less and less popular.

Until I heard a news.

Recently, it was reported that a suspense TV series called "Guhata Ren Sanlang" was going to be filmed. It is said that the project funding for this TV series is very sufficient, and the TV station has also booked the best time slot, and it is said that the guest actors in it are expected to spend huge sums of money to invite big actors. stars.

This is undoubtedly big news, and even the news that the star detective Kazuto Kaneda, who has recently defeated Kaito Kidd, is the screenwriter of this drama has been suppressed.

This high school student named Jin Tianyi Er is still young. Even if he is a superb detective, his script is unlikely to be very good. I heard that he wrote a movie before, but it was not released. The impression is just a gimmick That's all.

But these are not important, what is important is that the attention of this drama is too high.

Am I short of money?

I own half the apartment in the apartment building where I live, and several expensive cars.

Do I lack the recognition of acting skills and the resume of famous works?
Check out the trophies on display in my cabinet!

All are missing!

What I lack is popularity and attention, as well as opportunities for transformation.

It is said that they are looking for the leading actor of this drama, a middle-aged criminal policeman in his 40s.

I can't play teenagers in their 20s or even teens, I can't play romance dramas, and I can't play criminal policemen in their 40s?
Although I am 51 years old this year, I am a star after all, and I pay attention to maintenance. If I dress up carefully, even if I am in my thirties, people will believe me. Maybe I will have to wear makeup in the old days!
I'm going to try to get this role.

Things went smoothly, I impressed the director with my acting skills and resume, and it is said that my appearance satisfied the screenwriter Kazuji Kinda, and finally I became one of the candidates for the leading role.

Being a candidate for the protagonist means that even if you can't be the protagonist in the end, you can still play an important role as a cameo.

But my goal is not to be a cameo, what I want is the role of the protagonist Ren Saburo Furuhata!
But at this moment, someone started to hold me back.

My wife's name is Hijikata Yumi. He is 38 years old this year. He is graceful and charming, and he was also a popular actress for his looks back then.

Back then, I was attracted by his beauty and married her thinking that he was a beautiful camellia. Who knew that she was actually a flytrap and blood-sucking tree after marriage.

She not only squandered my hard-earned money recklessly, but even used my money to make a bad face outside.

Every time we quarreled over this matter, she would talk about me drinking outside.

asshole!

Mine is called playful, and hers is called skittish, can it be the same?

Originally, we each took a step back, turned a blind eye and played our own games, being careful to avoid the paparazzi, and for a while we were in peace.

But at the very moment when I was competing with Guhata Ren Saburo, this stinky woman wanted to divorce me!
Don't think I don't know that she has a little boy named Okitaichi outside, she was just playing around in the past, who knows what's going on this time, they are going to get married!

asshole!

I shouldn't have indulged them like this!

The money you spend and the houses you live in are all mine, and now you actually want to kick me away!

Not only that, she actually dared to demand a huge amount of alimony from me!

Who gave her face!
But she sees that I value face and popularity, and I am striving for a big production of "Furuhata Ren Saburo", so there will be no scandals, so she threatens to break the news, and has even revealed a little bit to the paparazzi...
I·····

You are cruel!

There is no other way, the only solution for now is to spend money to eliminate the disaster... that is impossible!
Who am I, my ancestor is Hijikata Kosaburo Hijikata, how can I be threatened by you adulterers!

Yumi Hijikata... No, Yumi Nagakura, your days are over!
And Okitaichi, who is an idol star on the surface but is actually a jerk with a soft face, I won't make it easier for you either!
I want to kill Yongcang Yumi and blame Okita for the crime.

I want you all to die without a place to bury you!
But it is not so easy to achieve all this, I have to think of a better strategy.

For this reason, I temporarily put aside the research on the role of Ren Saburo Guhata, and started to study how to kill Yongcang Yumi without anyone noticing, and blame the crime on Okita Kazu.

I thought about it at home for several days, and my hair, which was already a little unbearable, lost a lot.

But it was worth the cost, I thought of a flawless plan.

Who told Nagakura Yumi to rent my house to Okitaichi!
Who let her rent out the house just next door to the one floor below the room I live in!
Who made the layout of the two floors the same!
Who made these two rooms be on the 5th and 6th floors instead of other floors!

Who made these floors happen to belong to me!
All this is God's will!
God can't stand it anymore, he wants to help me get rid of these two people who hate ghosts.

I spent several days, repeatedly doing experiments, repeatedly deliberating every step of the plan, and tried my best to ensure that there were no omissions in every link.

Finally, my perfect plan was completed.

I spent a few more days to prepare the scene and props needed for the plan, and then according to the plan, I made an appointment to negotiate with the two guys, Nagakura Yumi and Okitaichi.

The final step is to find a witness to be the perfect witness to my perfect plan.

The notary had better be a detective, a detective with a little reputation would do.

Although I thought my plan was flawless, the lower the strength of the detective who witnessed my perfect crime, the better. Of course, it can't be too low, otherwise I won't be able to win the trust of the police.

My target is Mori Kogoro.

It just so happens that he is a middle-aged detective who used to be a policeman. He has some prestige in front of the police, but his popularity is not very high. He doesn't seem to be the smartest one, otherwise he wouldn't be called [Sleeping Kogoro], which is so embarrassing. A name that came with great effort.

Most importantly, he often brought his two sons and daughters in and out of the scene, one of them was even a primary school student, so such a careless person might not be very capable.

So I invited the Mori family under the pretext of studying the behavioral logic of middle-aged detectives for the role of Ren Saburo Furuhata.

"Who are you?"

On the day of the meeting, Mori Kogoro brought an unexpected person.

"Hello, I'm Kazuto Kaneda. I heard that you want to know about the character of Ren Saburo Furuhata. Believe me, no one understands Ren Saburo Furuhata better than me!"
