I teach kendo in Tokyo

Detective Shiratori said to himself solemnly: Two Vietnamese stowaways died yesterday, and the smuggler himself died today... It's hard not to doubt that there is a connection.

Kazuma nodded and agreed: Yesterday, I suspected that Vera had obtained some key documents. Now it seems that it may be evidence that Maeda Trading Company is involved in human smuggling. Last time, Maeda Trading Company was dismissed due to lack of evidence, right?

If that's the case, why did Maeda himself die? Asano asked with a puzzled look, Shouldn't he be the boss at the end of the level?

He's probably just a white glove guy at the front desk, Detective Shiratori replied.

So, this case is about the big boss behind the scenes fighting for survival? But I don't understand this. Since Maeda is also involved, why did he mess up the apartment that Maeda gave to Vera? Just let Maeda go home at night and look for it himself Isn’t it over?” Asakura raised his own question.

Kazuma: Because the police will enter the apartment to look for evidence... That's not right. If the target is hidden documents, the police will not notice it so easily.

Asano slapped his head: I understand, the two people who did this were very unprofessional, so they turned over the apartment very unprofessionally.

Shiratori: No, judging from the time of death of the two murderers, they probably didn't have time to go to the apartment. They should have been restricted in their freedom in the afternoon. The person who silenced them was already ready to take action. It was someone else who ransacked the apartment. I smelled it. It smells like organized crime.

Asakura was overjoyed: So our team should be responsible for this incident? Can we kick out the first class?

No, as long as there are murders, it will be under the jurisdiction of the First Division. Kazuma grinned at Asakura, As long as there are murders, you can't stop us from intervening. So continue to cooperate well.

Asakura: Then who got more credit after solving the case?

Asakura, being able to solve the case is the most important thing. It doesn't matter who takes the credit. Detective Shiratori said.

Kazuma wanted to say something more about his merits, but suddenly he saw the forensic examiner who was rummaging around in his pocket taking out a pack of tissues.

Kazuma: Wait a minute! This paper towel looks like the kind specially customized by a high-end kiosk?

Indeed, the forensic examiner nodded, this mark is very similar to the coat of arms of a high-end restaurant, but I can't identify which restaurant this mark belongs to. After all, I can't afford to go to a high-end restaurant, so I only go to ramen shops or izakayas when I go to restaurants. .”

Kazuma stared at the sign, always feeling familiar, and suddenly he remembered: It's Matsuya!

Several other people looked at him together, and the confusion on their faces showed that they were not familiar with Matsuya's coat of arms.

Asano was speechless: Isn't Matsuya that super famous kaiseki restaurant? I remember it was recently awarded three Michelin stars. Did the Kiryu Police Department go to that restaurant to eat?

Kazuma shook his head: I haven't been there. I can't afford it, okay? But I once broke into the pine house to prevent the political marriage between the big bourgeoisie and the congressman.

After he finished speaking, the whole scene fell silent, and then everyone except Shiratiao exclaimed: Eh? Is it true or false?

Asano: Congressman, are you the congressman I understand? No wonder the police department blames you for wearing small shoes all day long. It turns out that you have not only offended the police chief, but also offended the congressman?

Kazuma: These are all mistakes made by young people.

Detective Shiratori suddenly said: Not only did he prevent the wealthy family's engagement, but he also took the wealthy family's daughter as his apprentice. The girl has been devoted to him wholeheartedly until now, but it seems that he wants to choose the daughter of the Jinguji family.

Kazuma shook his head: I haven't chosen yet! Why do you all think that I am with Tamamo?

Tamamo? Asano repeated the name, The daughter of the Jinguji family is a vixen?

Kazuma corrected him habitually: It's a human. A human can also be called Tamamo.

Shiratori interrupted the off-topic topic and said to Kimura from the forensic department: I'll leave it to you. I'll go to Matsuya to ask about the situation. Maybe the receptionist will remember Maeda.

You're going to visit, right? Wait a minute! Kimura took out the Polaroid from the toolbox he carried, I'll take two pictures of the deceased and you can ask them.

Kazuma stopped him: No need, the body soaked in water is swollen. Yesterday when collecting evidence, we got Maeda's ID photo and printed it out. We all have it.

Asano: After all, this guy is considered one of the suspects. Maybe we will visit him sometime.

Shiratori had already gone straight to his car first. Kazuma quickly waved to Kimura and also ran to his car.

**

In the parking lot of Matsuya, just as Kazuma was about to park, the security guard from the parking lot rushed over: Hey! You can't sell crepes here!

Kazuma sighed and took out his police badge.

The security guard was shocked: Police? Why are you driving this car?

Kazuma picked up the police light in the passenger's storage drawer and shook it: Isn't this a police car? Do you want to teach the Metropolitan Police how to do things?

Don't dare! The security guard shook his head like a rattle.

Kazuma got out of the car and went straight to the main building of Matsuya.

On the way he passed Detective Shiratori's car.

Entering the main hall, he met Detective Baitiao arguing with the waitress in the lobby: We have something to ask, please ask the female general or general to come out.

The female general and the general are busy now. They authorized me to welcome Detective Sang. You just have to ask.

Kazuma walked directly to Shiratori and said to the waitress: Please tell the female general that Kiryu from the Metropolitan Police Department and the Ma Police Department will find her for questioning.

The waitress glanced at Kazuma: It's Mr. Kiryu. Miss Nanjo entertained guests at our restaurant yesterday, but you didn't come.

Kazuma: I am a criminal police officer and I am investigating the case. Please tell me.

I understand, let's go now. After saying this, the waitress saluted the white bird and turned to leave.

Shiratori: Damn it, is this the power of favor? I also want to have a disciple who is the daughter of a bourgeois.

Kazuma shrugged.

Asano: Is Nanjo the daughter of that Nanjo consortium? It would be great if the police department offered you a direct marriage, and you would immediately become rich.

This person doesn't want to get married and wants to keep his family name. Shiratori joked.

It is my dream to revitalize my family's dojo. Kazuma said seriously, And if I get married, my sister will inherit the dojo, and she will have to find someone else to marry into her wife, which will affect her freedom of love.

There is such a thing. By the way, the Kiryu Police Department told you yesterday that your dojo is registered with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, so it is a famous dojo?

In fact, it is his cherry blossom tree that is registered with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, but the cherry blossom tree and the dojo are integrated. The registration of the cherry blossom tree means that there is no problem that the dojo is registered.

Kazuma: Yes, it's a Koryu dojo registered with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Natural Rishin-ryu.

However, what Kazuma got was Yagyu Shinin-ryu's Fusō Kaiden. In his junior year, Kazuma performed a no-bōdōri in front of the contemporary Yagyu Shinin-ryu master, falsely claiming that it was taught by Kamiizumi Masago before his death, and successfully obtained it. Yagyu Shinyin-ryu's all-or-nothing stories are passed down.

Kazuma originally wanted to change the sign in the dojo to Yagyu Shininryu, but his sister wouldn't let him.

Chiyoko seemed to have signed up for a kendo gym on her own to learn the techniques of Rishin-ryu, saying that it would be inappropriate not to pass on the legacy of one's own school since the dojo has been left behind.

While chatting with the horse, Matsuya's female general appeared, accompanied by the waitress just now.

Tongyu Police Department, please wait for a long time. I heard from the security guard in the parking lot that you drove a very unique car.

Kazuma: I have no choice. I am poor and can only afford a car that was involved in an accident worth 50,000 yuan. By the way, Lady General, have you seen this person?

Kazuma got straight to the point and took out Maeda's photo.

The female general immediately replied: It's President Maeda of Maeda Trading Company. He was drinking at our place yesterday, and I even paid him a visit in person.

In such a famous izakaya, when distinguished guests come to visit, the female generals have to go and greet them personally. Depending on the level of the guest, the female general may also personally pour several glasses of wine for the guest.

Maeda is only at the level of saying hello, and he can't drink the wine poured by the female general.

Detective Shiratori insisted on meeting the female general, probably to confirm this.

The female general asked curiously: What's wrong? Did something happen to Mr. Maeda?

Kazuma: It can't be made public yet.

I hate it. Saying it in private doesn't count as public.

Detective Shiratori looked back at Kazuma and said: The principle of information exchange is that you say something to me, Kiryu-kun. That's it, Mr. Maeda fell into the water and drowned. Excuse me, what did he do when he was drinking here yesterday? Abnormal?

The female general recalled for a while and said: When I went to visit, I saw nothing unusual. The masonry lady was responsible for pouring wine for him yesterday. She has already come to work today. Shall I call her to come and talk to you?

Shiratori: Please be sure to call her over.

Then, I still have to supervise the preparation work in the kitchen, so I will leave first.

Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to answer our questions. Kazuma bowed slightly to the female general.

You're welcome. The female general paused, smiled at Kazuma, and whispered, The guests that Ms. Nanjo entertained here yesterday were all serious guests, and our waitress was present throughout the whole process.

Kazuma: That's right. I'm not worried about Nanjo being taken advantage of at all. She would probably grab the hand that was reaching for her and yell at her.

After all, this is Nanjo.

The female general said with a smile: Indeed, those uncles who were invited to the banquet should also know Miss Nanjo's character very well. However, judging from the people she hosted, she doesn't really want to run for district council, right?

Kazuma smiled and said: That's what she planned. There are no traditional vote warehouses in Tokyo's 23 wards. Unlike outside cities and counties where residents' self-governing organizations and agricultural cooperatives can control the votes in their own hands, it is more friendly to a political amateur like her. .”

The female general frowned: But, will everyone vote for women? Generally speaking, they think women are not suitable to be politicians, right?

Kazuma: On this point, I would suggest that Honami take the idol route. Many people are more willing to vote for beautiful women than uncles, especially those who don't care about politics. If they are motivated by Honami's appearance, It should get a lot of votes. But Honami herself doesn’t want to make a fuss about her appearance.”

The female general smiled and said: Indeed, she should be very reluctant to use her appearance as a weapon, because it will be regarded as a weapon that can only be used by women.

Asano gently pulled Kazuma's sleeve and asked in a low voice: Is this Miss Nanjo very beautiful?

Kazuma: Probably about 20% more beautiful than my sister you saw yesterday.

Then you don't want to marry me? Your sister is so beautiful that I want to marry her!

Kazuma: I also have my own persistence.

Detective Shiratori: Because the daughter of the Jinguji family is 20% more beautiful than his sister. By the way, he also has a female apprentice who is studying at Cambridge and is 25% more beautiful than his sister.

Kazuma: Shiratori-san, we are investigating a case, can you please stop talking about these things?

The female general who was about to leave at this time said with a smile: Fortunately, the Kiryu Police Department has strong martial arts skills, otherwise you might have solved the case of his dismemberment soon.

Just as Kazuma was about to reply, the female general said goodbye to everyone and ran away.

The waitress who was left behind said, I'm going to call the masonry lady over.

**

The masonry lady nodded after looking at the photo: Yes, he was the customer I was in charge of yesterday. He had been drinking in the store until about ten o'clock. When I sent him out, he could only walk in a curve.

He Ma and others looked at each other, and then Detective Shiratori confirmed: He drank a lot, right?

Yes, a lot. While he was drinking, he went to answer a phone call.

Telephone? Did you call the store? Kazuma asked.

After all, there are no mobile phones in this era, so you can only make landline calls. The only way to answer the phone is to call the front desk of Matsuya and then call the guests to listen.

The masonry lady nodded: Yes, the front desk of the night shift last night was always Kazumi...I mean, Miss Aragaki. You can ask her what happened when you answered the phone. After answering the call, Maeda-san drank the wine in the glass when he came back. And then I started crying.

Asano: Crying? Is that the one crying?

Well, I was crying. While I was crying, I was crying and telling me, 'I'm obviously just a salesman,' and then I yelled 'Aikawa Horatoshi.'

Kazuma interrupted the mason: Are you sure about this pronunciation?

A Japanese name can be written in completely different characters with one pronunciation, so the waitress's confession cannot prove that Aikawa Horon is related to this incident, unless the waitress sees the actual words.

The masonry lady shook her head: Not sure, because Mr. Maeda was drunk and couldn't speak clearly. I'm not sure whether he was talking about Aikawa Horon or Hirokawa Fake.

Kazuma cursed.

Shiratori: Don't be impatient. You have just become a detective, so don't rush to grab their tail.

Kazuma nodded: I know.

Asano asked curiously: What's wrong with this name?

It's very similar to the name of an old acquaintance of ours. Kazuma waved his hand, Don't worry, it's just a drunkard's drunken nonsense. It can't prove anything. Miss Masonry, are there any other details you can recall?

there is none left.

Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Detective Shiratori smiled at the masonry lady, Can you please call Miss Aragaki and Mei here?

Okay, I'll go right away. The masonry lady stood up and left the private room provided by the female general for questioning.

After a while, Aragaki Kazumi entered the door.

Yes, this person answered the phone yesterday. Kazumi looked at Maeda's photo and immediately replied, He cried and said, 'It has been dealt with' and 'Why don't you believe me?'

Kazuma: Are you sure you said 'it's been processed'?

Yes, I heard it clearly. Mr. Maeda was drunk and couldn't speak clearly to me before he came to answer the phone, but the two sentences he said when he answered the phone were very clear.

He Ma and Shiratori exchanged a meaningful look.

There seems to be something behind this incident.
