I teach kendo in Tokyo

Yoshiaki Shimakata looked at the unconscious guitarist and spat in his face.

After doing this, he turned back to confirm whether the light of the closed-circuit camera installed in the corner was on.

Generally, when Japanese police interrogate a guy who obviously cannot afford a lawyer, they will punch him several times, so this camera is turned off by default during the interrogation.

But the problem was that the guitarist wasn't a suspect—at least not until it was discovered he was a drug addict.

So Shimakata Yoshiaki took a look at the camera to be on the safe side - if it was captured, he would have to use his connections in the General Affairs Section to wash out the images on the videotape.

After confirming the camera, Yoshiaki Shimakata said to his partner Keishi Yukuda: "Go and contact the anesthetic countermeasures group."

Gyoda Keishi nodded, turned around and opened the door, but he was met by Akira Shiratori and Takashi Takayama from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Section, also known as the Investigation Section 4, who were about to open the door.

"Why did you come here? This case...is related to you again?" Yoshiaki Shimakata asked with a frown.

"Relax, it is still within the jurisdiction of your first class to determine whether it is a robbery or sex. But the situation may change."

Yoshiaki Shimagata frowned: "Oh?"

"This guy," Detective Shiratori came to the side of the unconscious musician, "What they bought may be something that came in from a new channel.

“We suspect that the Koreans have opened up a shipping channel that we do not have control over, and this channel has matured and the shipping volume has increased significantly.

"We originally thought that the Koreans had the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of Guandong United's channels, but we did not expect that they directly established their own supply system. This means that the Koreans will grow at an alarming rate."

"What does this have to do with the murder?" Shimakata Yoshiaki asked.

Detective Shiratori shrugged: "Not yet. It seems to be two independent things. We came here because maybe we can ask him where he bought the things."

"Isn't this the scope of duties of the Narcotics Management Section?"

"Those who sell narcotics are usually organized criminals. It's a joint investigation, a joint investigation."

Japan likes to set up search headquarters, but it actually has certain difficulties. One of them is the rigid division of departmental powers and responsibilities.

If you don't bring people together for unified command, you can only fight on your own.

However, this matter has not yet reached the point of setting up a search headquarters. After all, only one person died and the murderer is still at large.

In order to establish an investigation headquarters, a simple murder case will not suffice, it must at least develop into a serial murder case.

Or maybe it was a celebrity who was killed.

The death of an underground singer is not enough for the Metropolitan Police Department to break the existing operating mechanism and deploy people to form an investigation headquarters.

After all, the Metropolitan Police Department guards Tokyo. While this large city has a large population, it also has the highest suicide rate in the world. As police officers, they receive reports of dead bodies every day.

The incidence rate of homicides is much higher than that of suicides, but after all, in a city as big as Tokyo with such a large population, the homicide cases handled by the Metropolitan Police Department every year can be enough to film hundreds of episodes of Conan.

Shimagata Yoshiaki has three murder cases under investigation, but the investigation of the other two murder cases has reached a dead end, so they are hanging.

Yoshiaki Shimakata had no problem with Akira Shiratori taking over the interrogation. Anyway, he felt that he could no longer get any information related to Hoshiko Aikawa from the musician.

"I have to remind you," Yoshiaki Shimakata looked at Shiratori Akira and said, "He is still a private citizen who is here to assist in the investigation. He has not yet become a suspect. It is illegal to hit him before the change paperwork is completed."

"What about the teeth on the ground?" Akira Shiratori bent down to pick up the teeth that had just been knocked away by Shimagata Yoshiaki, and waved them in front of Shimagata Yoshiaki.

Shimakata Yoshiaki shrugged: "This kind of guy is in a daze. It's normal for him to fall while walking. He knocked on the table and knocked out his teeth."

"Really? I see. It's a very reasonable explanation." Shiratori threw the tooth into the trash can in the corner.

At this time, Yukida Keishi opened the door and came in: "The autopsy report of Aikawa Hoshiko is out. Also, based on the portrait made based on the landlord's description, we may have found the true identity of the fugitive suspect."

Shimakata Yoshiaki stretched out his hand, and Yukida Keishi immediately handed him the document in his hand.

Shimakata Yoshiaki flipped through the documents quickly, and then read out the key information: "Nishida Jun, former Takarazuka Theater trainee, tsk, a man disguised as a woman? Takarazuka Theater trainee and underground idol... This... How does this look like a love murder? Already? They seem to be quite popular with this..."

"No matter how you kill them, you have to catch them." Shiratori Akira said.

"This is the strange thing. He has disappeared as if melting into the Kanda River. Logically speaking, a trainee from the Takarazuka Theater Company should not be able to bypass our investigation."

The Japanese police still have basic capabilities. Catching an artistic young man who impulsively commits a crime is not a big problem in theory.

In theory.

Yoshiaki Shimakata scratched his head: "We can only follow new clues to find them. We have to visit the Takarazuka Theater Company. These high-class cultural people are not easy to deal with..."

"Should we ask the professional team to do this?" Gyoda Keishi asked.

The professional group is the upper class of society. It is different from the bosses who come from the grassroots. It will be much easier to find cultural celebrities and other objects to investigate and collect evidence.

There are many intellectuals who look down on old and rough detectives and are unwilling to cooperate.

The Takarazuka Theater Company is no ordinary theater troupe. It has a very high status in Japan's entertainment and cultural circles. If you can get a starring role in a stage play in the Takarazuka Theater Company, you are the Tenryujin in the entertainment industry.

According to common sense, when going to a place like this to investigate and collect evidence, for a criminal policeman like Yoshiaki Shimakata who does not have a college degree, the only thing he can do is see whether he will encounter a good-tempered receptionist.

If you are unlucky, you may only be able to talk to secretaries and other errand-running characters throughout the whole process.

But the professional group is different, especially those wearing gold watches.

Yoshiaki Shimakata shook his head: "Let's go check out the situation first and wait until we can find out. The Takarazuka Troupe shouldn't be guilty of concealing criminals, let alone a former trainee."

After saying that, he walked towards the door. Shiratori waved his hand: "Have a nice trip. I hope you can close the case easily this time."

"Shut up, you crow's mouth." Shimakata Yoshiaki said angrily.

**

On Kiryu Kazuma's side, after today's class ended, he came to the Kendo Club with great expectations.

After all, you can learn skills. Mr. Minoru Taira, if you don't give me all your skills, I won't let you go - Kazuma thought so.

Mr. Minoru Hiranaka is already in the dojo and is warming up. It seems that this swordsman, who is already on the tail of middle age, is also very excited about being able to teach Kazuma his skills.

Seeing Kazuma entering the door, Taira Minoru smiled and said: "Today's training will be more rigorous, are you ready?"

"Of course." Kazuma nodded.

"Then warm up first and stretch your muscles and bones."

Kazuma nodded and immediately began to warm up and put on his equipment.

After about half an hour of preparation, Kazuma gripped his bamboo sword tightly and took a stance facing Taira Minoru.

Ping Zhongmin: "Let's try what I taught you yesterday and see if it feels unfamiliar to you."

Kazuma nodded seriously: "Okay, I'm ready, please."

The next moment, Ping Zhongshi rushed over close to the ground.

Kazuma was at home yesterday and suddenly couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he pulled Amao over who was reviewing and practiced this move.

Although Amao's speed and power are much weaker than those of Hiraka Minoru, a lot of practice has allowed Kazuma to further master this cut.

Kazuma accurately hit Hira Naka Minoru's gauntlet, but Hira Naka Minoru's bamboo sword was still on Kazuma's neck.

"Not bad." Hiranaka Minoru praised, "You are more proficient than when you were sparring with me yesterday. Is there someone to practice with you after you get home?"

"Yes. I have an apprentice..." Kazuma suddenly realized that this statement was not accurate. He had more than one apprentice, but when he said this, he subconsciously only counted the male apprentices. In his previous life, he would definitely be Weibo The female punches hard.

Hiranaka Minoru did not correct Kazuma's statement: "Sparring with an apprentice? He can improve your swordsmanship, which means you are pretty good."

No, actually Amao only became a new level five after practicing for a year.

But perhaps due to the influence of the entry, Amao has a sharp aura when he draws his sword.

After all, this is the sword of the Law Knight.

And this knight is still a knight of Kamen Rider. Look at the mighty appearance of the first-generation Kamen Rider Hongo Meng. No matter what this entry is, Amao's flying kick must have a thrust of more than 50 tons.

Kazuma speculated that the entries without explanations should be the rarest entries. He had no reason for this speculation. He just felt that with his golden finger's urine, he would probably think that "the cool things don't need explanation." .

In short, according to what Ping Zhongmin said, this exercise is very effective and the harmony with the horse phenomenon has been solved. From now on, Amao, don’t study at home and practice Qieluo with me.

Oh, it's great to have an apprentice. He can look after the house, run errands, and improve his skill levels.

Recalling that before, Kazuma had no teacher to teach kendo. To improve his kendo level, he had to rely on fighting Nanjo to gain experience...

Kiryu and Ma Seiji's journey to improve their skills was all due to the blood and sweat of their apprentices.

Hiranaka Minoru distanced himself and attacked Kazuma again. This time Kazuma's sword accurately hit Hiranaka Minoru's gauntlet, but Kazuma felt that he was a little slower this time, so the enemy lost one hand in the actual battle. Lose your own head.

Just when Kazuma was about to speak, Minoru Taira said: "That's good. I think I can teach you the advanced content. After all, it's not too difficult. You can practice it while practicing cutting."

Kazuma: "I understand, please enlighten me."

Hiranaka Minoru distanced himself, and then said to Kazuma: "This time you attack me, and I will demonstrate it to you. This way you can understand it faster."

Kazuma nodded, then raised his bamboo sword and shouted, slashing at Taira Minoru——

Taira Minoru hit Kazuma's gauntlet, and then the bamboo sword thrust forward directly and pierced Kazuma's carcass.

"It's a very simple counterattack, right?" Pingzhong asked.

Kazuma nodded, and at the same time opened and clenched the hand that was hit, relieving the pain.

The sword strike just now, despite the double damage reduction of the bamboo sword and gauntlet, still caused considerable damage to Kazuma's hand.

But this small injury is nothing in kendo practice.

Kiryu and Marco are men who have been slashed with knives and shot with guns.

Ping Zhongshi: "Come on, give it a try."

Kazuma nodded, took the initiative to retreat and distanced himself, waiting for Taira Minoru's attack.

Hiranaka Minoru yelled and rushed forward, but this time he deliberately drew his sword slowly in order to allow Kazuma to practice new techniques.

Kazuma aimed at the gauntlet and took action calmly. After hitting the target, the bamboo sword stabbed forward.

The tip of the bamboo knife poked Ping Zhongmin's carapace.

Ping Zhongmin nodded: "That's it. Although this move is very simple and unpretentious, many seniors of the Beichen One-Sword Style have verified the practicality of this move in real sword duels.

"You are more familiar with real sword duels than I am. You must understand the secrets. Come on, let's talk about it."

Kazuma: "Yes. In a real sword duel, an attack on the wrist is enough to completely disrupt the enemy's offensive. The sword that the enemy is cutting will directly lose its strength and deviate from the cutting path. There is basically no need to worry.

"But the attack on the wrist is not fatal. After all, Cut Off sacrifices strength for speed. It is impossible to cut off the enemy's hand directly. At most, it will leave a cut on the wrist.

"Even if the artery in the wrist happens to be severed, the enemy will not lose combat effectiveness immediately. At this time, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is necessary to stab and kill the enemy directly."

Ping Naka Minoru nodded: "Yes, that's the case. A dead enemy is the best enemy. In a real sword duel where life is at stake, there will be all kinds of dirty moves.

"Even a famous swordsman may have a knife hidden on his body, and he will stab you when you are not prepared. Not to mention that in modern times, there are also firearms."

Kazuma frowned. Sure enough, Beichen Itto-ryu is a school that knows how to draw a gun, so why not draw a gun from the beginning?

Just like the classic shot of Indiana Jones, "Kung Fu takes another shot and knocks him down."

Hiranaka Minoru looked at Kazuma and said, "Are you wondering why you didn't draw the gun from the beginning?"

"Uh..." Kazuma nodded after seeing through his thoughts.

"When you enter the Metropolitan Police Department in the future, you will definitely be equipped with a gun and learn how to use it. We in the Beichen Itto Ryu generally won't draw a sword when we can use a gun.

"Actually, the real secret of Beichen's Itto-ryu is to ascend to a high position, become the 'number one in the world', and then let his subordinates kill people."

"The number one person in the world refers to...the Prime Minister?" He Ma asked.

"It's just an example. During the Warring States Period, didn't powerful daimyo often be called 'people of the world', such as Sekihaku Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"

Kazuma nodded.

He knows this. When playing Nobunaga's Ambition, the highest level of reputation is Tenkaizen, and the BGM will become more majestic as you become a Tenkaizen.

"So, when practicing Beichen Yida-ryu, you can't just specialize in swordsmanship. However, I think you are doing a good job in this aspect. Your apprentice should also come over if you find time. I might be able to give you some pointers. he."

Kazuma nodded: "Okay, of course that's good."

Free advice, if it can make Amao stronger, you will get more experience points when you farm Amao.

Hiranaka Minoru turned to look at the wall clock in the dojo, sighed and said, "I originally wanted to practice more with you, but there are some things today that I have to leave first."

"Then I won't disturb you anymore. I will practice the skills I just learned." Kazuma sincerely thanked Taira Minoru.

Hiranaka Minoru just patted Kazuma on the shoulder and walked to the locker room.

As soon as Hiranaka Minoru left, Senior Toda came up and put his arm around Kazuma's shoulders: "Teach me what Hiranaka Minoru taught you too!"

"You can't understand it when you're watching from the side?" Kazuma asked in surprise.

Senior Toda asked back even more surprised: "How can I understand it? You are so fast! If I want to understand it, I have to borrow a high-speed camera from the people who study photography!"

Deputy Minister Takeshi Hua Cheng interjected from the side: "Actually, you don't need to go to the Photography Association. The baseball club has just introduced high-speed cameras to judge whether the ball is good or bad."

"Baseball club? Damn it, how do they have such good stuff?"

"Well, Dongda's baseball team has produced several ace professional players. The donations from the OBs alone are enough to buy several units." Deputy Minister Takeshi Hua Cheng said in a helpless tone.

Senior Toda sighed: "Why! Why are the graduates of our Kendo club all policemen?"

Isn't that nonsense, Kazuma thought, because it's a kendo club... If you want to be a lawyer, you must go to a place like the Moot Court Association.

Deputy Minister Hua Chengwu pushed up his glasses: "The income of the police is not bad, at least stable. If you can successfully hold a high position, you can also... you know the kind.

"When you wait for the next OB meeting, maybe you can ask the graduate representatives to sponsor a high-speed camera?"

"That's it! But the problem now is that we didn't see clearly the actions of Mr. Hiranaka Minoru and Kiryu-kun. Kiryu-kun, you can't say that this is a small stove specially opened for you and you don't want to teach it!

"Mr. Minoru Hiranaka is the coach of our kendo club. We can learn everything he teaches you."

He Ma smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely teach you everything I have."

In fact, Kazuma didn't expect that the speed of his fight with Minoru Hiranaka would be so fast that Toda-senpai and the others, who also had a certain foundation in kendo, couldn't see clearly.

Sure enough, Kazuma thought to himself, when you reach level 20 or above, there is a fundamental difference from people at level 10, and I am on an equal footing with BUFF and Mr. Ping Nakamin based on my actual combat experience.

If I increase my strength further, I might enter a realm that even Mr. Hiranaka Minoru can't see clearly. At that time, in the eyes of "mortals" like Mr. Toda, I will enter a realm that they cannot understand.

In fact, Kazuma is a little bit incomprehensible when he watches the 67-level Suzuki fight.

First of all, physically landing from a helicopter is incomprehensible.

This feeling of actually getting stronger is very good, quite good.

Kazuma silently clenched his fists.

I have already been admitted to the University of Tokyo. With Jinguji here, I don’t have to worry about failing the class and not graduating.

Then the only thing left for you to do is to keep getting stronger and stronger again.

After all, the ultimate goal is to kill Soichiro Uesugi.

However, Kazuma is still a little worried - damn, will the fellow villagers from the Fushou Gang help him achieve this goal ahead of schedule?

Even a sword master shouldn't be able to resist an ambush using anti-tank mines, right?

You should, you can’t, right?

The Operations Officer asked me to give you a shout. The Jinguji Star Promotion event is in full swing. Fan titles and coupons are waiting for you~
