Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 30 Recasting the former glory of the detective agency

  Takehara South High School.

  Morning meeting of class F classroom in first year.

   "Hey, Higashino, just now the monitor said that we should learn from you."

  In the back row, Hayato Aida stretched out his hand to poke Higashinohara, but his tone did not have the usual teasing and winking, but rather eagerly stared at Higashinohara who turned his head in a daze and looked tired.

   If you want to talk about the hard-pressed brother in the class, Aida Hayato is recognized by everyone as the man who is about to step into the footsteps of Higashinohara—a man who will become the next generation of "Three World War Veterans" in class F of the first year.

   Higashinohara's consciousness returned from the crime manual, and the words of Hayato Aida gradually came to his ears clearly, and he couldn't help but smiled for a while, "What can you learn from me."

   "You're still pretending." Aida Hayato lowered his voice, "Higashi, tell me honestly, do you have any secret training methods besides running? Tell me quickly."

   At this time, the morning meeting was over, but Hayato Aida had a naturally loud voice, even if he lowered his voice, the students sitting next to him all looked at him.

Only Hikari Sagi, the leader of the golden retriever trio sitting in the last row by the door, sneered. He was about to say something, but when he turned his head, he found that his two followers were all attentive and their ears were pricked up, which made him kick Just kicked up.

  Here, Higashinohara heard the words and could only say helplessly, "In addition to the seven-kilometer run, I now do 70 squats, sit-ups and push-ups every day."

  Hayato Aida and some students sitting next to him waited patiently. After waiting for a long time to finish the text, he suddenly asked in astonishment, "That's it?"

   "Well, that's all." Higashinohara nodded sincerely.

  Hayato Aida opened his mouth, he wanted to say something but couldn't.

  He has the physical ability of Talent Sequence 101 [Strengthening the Physical Body]. He has been doing these basic exercises since two years ago, but two years later he is still in the first grade.

right!

   There is still one level left.

  Is this thing really useful?

  He was afraid that after asking this question, Higashinohara stared at him with a complicated expression and said "We are different", which would be a bit embarrassing.

  But the other students sitting next to me have never done this kind of exercise. Although it sounds incredible at the moment, there are real "success stories" around, and their faces are full of thoughtful expressions.

  Is this the "strength supremacy classroom"?

   Higashinohara smiled inwardly upon seeing this.

  He clearly remembered that before he played against Hikaru Sagi last week, he was a little transparent in the back row in the classroom. That morning, when he said that he was running on the playground, even his friend Aida Hayato was stunned.

But since he won Hikaru Sagi, the actual combat teacher Takeshi Nakazaki also said that Higashinohara is now estimated to have the strength of the second stage and second stage, and he seems to have gained the "right to speak" in the class. Listen, and think about it in your heart.

   This feeling is actually quite good.

  But Higashinohara didn’t have any idea of ​​being an opinion leader of class F for a year, so he thought about it and passed.

   It is estimated that when those people find out that his training method is not "universal", I am afraid it will be another attitude. Sure enough, people can never live in the evaluation of others.

  Afternoon, combat class.

  Although Higashinohara kept his hand during the battle, the experienced combat teacher Takeshi Nakazaki also found that he seemed to have improved from the battle against Higashinohara.

  Ken Nakazaki couldn't help but smiled and nodded at Higashinohara, and praised Higashinohara's progress on the spot. He is very optimistic about the spring exam next year for this "three-war veteran" in Class F of the first year.

   Actually made progress again?

   Did this guy take some supplement pills?

  Suddenly, the others were astonished and determined to carry out the "Higano training method" from today onwards, and even secretly made up their minds to increase the training intensity, maybe the effect would be better.

  Of course, there are also people who got the advantage, and secretly laughed at Higashinohara for being too stupid—after all, he is a country boy from Hokkaido, who has the knack of this kind of exercise without hiding it and doing it in secret, which has added so many competitors to himself for no reason.

  After the actual combat class, Higashinohara, who had no club activities, left the school.

In the afternoon in the training hall, he tried the katachi, and he really felt like he was using his arms and fingers, as if he had been immersed in this way for many years. It seems that the improvement in the image profile of the characters in the crime manual really has a real effect .

  Walking on the way to the tram station, Higashinohara considered whether to go to a special cold weapon store or buy a set of katana online for future training and self-defense.

  But the thought of the expensive cost is a bit painful.

  The reward given to him by the Metropolitan Police Department last week has been distributed this morning. It is 400,000 yen, and it has not been delayed to seven working days.

  Including the 50,000 yen earned last night and the balance of living expenses sent every month from his hometown in Hokkaido, Higashinohara’s total assets now add up to just over 500,000 yen, which is almost enough for a small sword made of fine steel.

  The problem is not to mention that he only has one sword in his dual-knife style. The end of the month is coming soon, and although the rent for the next month will be halved, he still has to pay it.

  Combined with the daily expenses, if there is a wave of impulsive consumption, I am afraid that I will have to eat instant noodles and soup next month.

   Well, I still need to find more part-time jobs.

correct!

  Higashi Nohara suddenly thought of his current strength of almost the second stage and the third stage. He heard that those with abilities will have certain preferential treatment when they find a corresponding job.

  What is your counterpart job?

   Running fast to deliver food?

  He does know that some low-level ability users at the first and early second stages will enter vocational technical schools after graduation. For example, those in the water summoning department may enter the fire protection major, and those in the fire control department will choose to learn to cook.

   Higashinohara thought about these miscellaneous things all the way.

  The tram arrived at the stop, and after getting off, he was on his way back to the apartment when he suddenly and inadvertently found a man wrapped in a coat on the street ahead, sneakily sticking something to the electric pole on the side of the road.

  The first reaction in his mind was

  A lot of money to seek a child?

and many more!

  Why does that person look so familiar?

  Higashi Nohara suddenly reacted—isn't this the unscrupulous uncle Aigaki Satoru who runs the detective agency? Is it because the business is not good enough to post small advertisements?

   Higashinohara waited for Aragaki Satoru to find the next telegraph pole and left, followed by a look.

The utility pole had obviously been shoveled several times and changed beyond recognition. The brand new advertisement on the top showed a silhouette of a man wearing a deerstalker hat and a coffee-colored windbreaker with a pipe in his mouth. He looked like a classic detective. , and the following narration:

  【Are you troubled by collecting evidence? 】

  【Aragaki Detective Agency will serve you wholeheartedly! 】

  【A top detective that can be hired for only 300,000 yen! 】

  【Waiting for your call at any time 284-132344】

   Higashinohara looked a little speechless.

   Isn't this guy always guarding the apartment intermittently complacent, eating and dying continuously? Why are you still in the mood to do this today?

   Ah Choo!

  In the cold wind of late autumn, Aragaki Satoru sneezed and rubbed his red nose.

asshole!

  What's wrong with people now?

   Isn’t a famous detective agency not trustworthy?

   Just at noon today, Aragaki Satoru rarely received a criminal case order, so excited that he almost jumped up from the overwhelmed boss chair and kicked the TV over.

   It's not easy!

   It’s been almost half a year, and the investigation agency is not only investigating extramarital affairs, but also helping the old lady find some cats and dogs, all of which are trivial and trivial matters.

   Finally came a big order today.

  Can he not be excited?

  Recast the former glory of Aragaki Detective Agency.

   Oh, there is no glory in the past.

  Forget it.

   In the afternoon, Satoru Aragaki found a detective outfit from the closet, but when he went downstairs to the client's house and got on the elevator, he found a fellow detective.

  The two knocked on the door together, and after entering the door, the other sat on the sofa with a smile and said nothing.

  After the two finished their self-statements, the client only took five seconds to think about it and regretfully told Aragaki Satoru that their choice was another detective agency.

  The reason is that the other party is more famous, has also appeared on Shintokyo TV, and has more experience in solving criminal cases. As for the Aragaki Detective Agency, it is worth mentioning.

   Aragaki Satoru could only return with hatred.

   On the way, he was out of breath, feeling contempt for his employer.

  Can a detective be famous for solving a case?

   Do you think I can't afford to be on TV?

   That's an insult to the "detective"!

  So in the afternoon

  He went to a nearby convenience store to copy a bunch of small advertisements, and walked into the cold wind of late autumn alone

  Higashi Nohara stood in front of the telephone pole, speechless for a while.

  He felt that Aragaki Satoru's work was mostly useless, and he would probably be scrapped by people from the nearby street committee tomorrow at most, and he might even be fined at his door.

   Besides, would anyone really believe such unreliable roadside advertisements?

   Anyway, he won't believe it.

  Higashi Nohara followed Aigaki Satoru all the way back, fearing that he would be caught by a strong man, he didn't let Aigaki Satoru in front of him find out—this unscrupulous uncle likes to prostitute other people's free labor.

   But when he was about to walk downstairs to the apartment, Aragaki Satoru suddenly stopped, with a thick small advertisement under his arm, took out his mobile phone and answered a call while smoking, his face gradually became excited.

No way? !

   Higashinohara was taken aback when he saw this.

  A client really called? ?

   After a while, Aragaki Satoru hung up the phone, stubbed out his cigarette and walked back quickly. When he passed by the roadside trash can, he threw all the small advertisements into it.

   Higashinohara was surprised and quickly followed.

   When you cross a few streets and see an apartment building.

   Far away, Higashinohara saw a short figure in a black down jacket and short skirt and black stockings standing in front of the building with his back turned to look around.

   Look down at your phone from time to time.

  The next second, the moment the opponent turned around, Higashinohara was slightly taken aback.

is her?

  Ryoka Kame who is on leave from school today.

   Did something happen to her?

   Higashinohara was having some doubts in his heart.

  Unexpectedly, at this time, a police car across the street drove quickly, and immediately stopped at the door of the apartment building with a sudden brake and the door opened.

  Two girls jumped out of the driver's seat.

  The tall girl Higashinohara in the front was wearing a navy blue windbreaker uniform and recognized her at a glance, Mai Aigaki, Satoru's daughter.

  Tomorrow is Wano Country’s Labor Thanksgiving Day, so I might be forced to go back to the apartment tonight.

   But wait a minute. The girl in the back wearing a black hoodie has short silver-white hair, two fluffy pointed ears on top of her head, and looks around curiously.

is her? !

  She released it so soon?

I am very grateful to "Xiaohui Liyi who likes to read books", "Millennium Saint Crystal", "Jian Ningmei", "He Guang Tong Cheng", "Yemotian Xiaoyang", "Just call me Wang Shen", "Zhuo Hua Zhiyao", "It's okay". Wait for the rewards and support from the book friends and grandpas!

   The second is asking for tickets lol~
