I teach kendo in Tokyo

On Kiryu and Kazuma's side, he led two—no, if you don't count Amao, it was three—three Japanese who had never known what cyberpunk was, they understood in advance that it would take another five years for them to be born in the world. Cyberpunk in this world.

All three were fascinated by the world Kazuma described.

Especially Koji Okada, this guy is a hardcore science fiction fan. He single-handedly created the rocket launch scene in "The King of Space Force".

That scene was the first time in Japanese animation that a large number of fast-scrolling, hard-core communication broadcasts that looked extremely professional were used to create a science fiction scene.

Later, this method was widely used in other works produced by this group of people, and with the popularity of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", it spread all over the world.

Now the cyberpunk world that Kazuma is talking about has driven Koji Okada crazy: "It's great, this world view is great! Thinking about the nature of human beings, the problem of the ship of Theseus, and dystopia, Kiryu-sensei, you are a genius! You have never lived in such a world, right?"

"How is it possible? I just got inspiration from great works like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and "The Thirteenth Space"? I just stood on the shoulders of giants." Kazuma said.

This is not really about being humble, this is the fact that he stood on the shoulders of giants and stole the best parts of them and made them his own.

Kazuma was a cyberpunk fan in his last life. He not only followed the budding process of the concept of cyberpunk, but also regarded most cyberpunk science fiction novels starting from the 1960s "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"? After finishing it, I also watched all the related movies.

In my previous life, I was annoyed by the most annoying type of people. After reading a few street stall articles on public accounts, I followed what others said, "Cyberpunk is the Kowloon Walled City."

To be honest, even serious science fiction fans like Kazuma, who have studied cyberpunk in depth, dare not easily summarize the core of cyberpunk. Some people just grasp the similarity in visual style and dare to talk about it everywhere. All they can say is The ignorant are fearless.

What's more, among cyberpunk works, there are also works whose visual style is very different from that of Kowloon Walled City.

For example, "Pandora in the Red Shell", which was also written by Masamune Shirow, the author of Ghost in the Shell, looks like a pure otaku drama on the outside, and it sells lily until it goes viral, but the core of this game is very orthodox cyberpunk .

It's just that the movie "Blade Runner" was so influential that most of the subsequent cyberpunk themes had a cold, disorganized visual style.

It’s just the visual style.

Compared with Koji Okada's mindless flattery, Anno Akito pays more attention to the details of picture performance-this is his professional field.

"There are many three-dimensional holographic projections. Are they the ones in Star Wars? The ones used by the Sith Emperor to give orders to Darth Vader?" Akito Anno asked.

"right."

"The streets are full of them, and then there are advertisements playing? Is the color too gray?"

"No, the holograms in Star Wars are gray and white, can't you make them colorful? It's animation anyway, so you don't have to think about how to shoot it, just use your imagination.

"The streets are full of translucent idols projected with three-dimensional images, posing and recommending the latest products, but people who are forced to live simply ignore them and calmly pass between their big white legs and vagina."

Anno Akito raised his eyebrows: "Oh, that's not bad. Is the gold and jade on the outside broken but on the inside?"

"It's a dystopia," Kazuma said. "The point of a dystopia is to look like a real utopia on the surface."

Okada Koji: "What a famous quote! Kiryu-sensei!"

Anno Akito has already started drawing with a drawing book: "Is this what it feels like?"

Directors (supervisors) in Japan are required to draw storyboards and have some degree of artistry, but Akito Anno in this time and space is obviously more than "somewhat" an artist.

The images he sketched have already taken shape.

Of course, people today have never seen the high-tech gadgets that He Ma saw, and their imagination is limited after all.

Nowadays, when people see the consoles with illuminated buttons and screens that look like oscilloscopes in "Star Wars" and "Star Trek", they think, "Damn, this is so advanced."

Kazuma waved his hand: "No, no, you have to be bolder in your imagination."

Then Kazuma began to instill in Anno Akito a holographic control panel that can be operated with gestures by wearing a ring set and positioning it. It looks like just a glass plate but it is a screen that can directly sense the touch of human hands, and so on.

Anno Akito was stunned when he heard this: "Can this kind of thing happen? If we paint it like this, will the audience accept it?"

"As long as it's cool, they can accept it. Even if the general audience can't accept it, resulting in a bad market response, sci-fi fans with forward vision like you will love it to death."

Anno Akira and Okada Koji looked at each other. Okada Koji scratched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed look: "Our investor invests in commercial works. He wants to make money. This is not an art sponsorship... like this it's not good?"

——You don’t even know it’s bad?

He Ma is full of desire to complain.

The "Wang Li Space Army" you were originally going to make caused investors to lose money, okay? You will have to pay off the debt for more than ten years later!

However, Kazuma was already interested, so he interrupted Okada Koji directly: "You are stupid. If you have such an opportunity, of course you will make a great animation. In the future, when you have many commercial animations, you may This is the only time in your life when you can pursue the art of animation to the limit.”

Okada Koji was speechless and nodded: "That makes sense."

Kazuma discovered that his Morning Star entry was really good at deceiving people.

This is just a fool.

Anno Akito slapped the table: "Okay! Let's shoot this! Mr. Kiryu, if you have any other cool ideas, come up with them! Anyway, this is animation, we don't have to think about how to shoot it, we can make it as cool as we can How cool!”

Kazuma is very satisfied. The founder of cyberpunk is probably Kiryu Kazuma.

Take the time to write a novel now, and you can get Neuromancer out before William Gibson does.

However, Akito Anno and the others created this animation. Even if William Gibson writes "Psycho Nomad" in the future, it will be regarded as being influenced by Anno's animated film.

Kazuma suddenly felt that I had to leave a name for this movie, and it had to have a resounding title.

So he asked tentatively: "In this movie, I just have the name of composer..."

"No!" Okada Koji waved his hand, "You are the original!"

The original work is great.

Kazuma thought this in his heart, but he still had to shirk it: "I just inspired you..."

"That's not true. The entire core, visual style and main contradictions of the story were proposed by you. Your original work is well-deserved." Anno Akito said, "Don't be modest. This amazing imagination, compared with yours, We’re just rednecks.”

Okada Koji took the rainbow fart and continued to shoot: "In Chinese proverbs you are familiar with, this is called... uh, what is that proverb from Dream of Red Mansions?"

"Grandma Liu, enter the Grand View Garden?" He Ma caught up.

"Yes! That's it! You are indeed full of knowledge."

Kazuma put on a helpless expression, but he was actually elated.

Okay, your rainbow farts are really good, I give you full marks.

Anno Akito continued to draw pictures in his notebook, and it seemed that he had been inspired to create.

Kazuma looked at Anno Akito who was drawing wildly, and suddenly he didn't want to disturb his explosive state. Now he had almost said what he should say, so he said to Okada Koji: "I'm a little thirsty after talking for so long... …”

Kazuma actually wanted to take the opportunity to walk around and stretch his body, but Amao, who had been listening next to him, stood up immediately: "I'll get you some barley tea."

After finishing speaking, Amao left the table without waiting for Kazuma's response.

Kazuma could only continue to sit there awkwardly, watching Amao open the sliding door and leave the dojo, then turned around and closed the door politely.

Okada Koji said: "The topic you just mentioned about how to define human beings is very interesting..."

Kazuma could only pretend to listen.

**

Amao came to the dining room and happened to see Chiyoko wiping her hair after changing into home clothes.

"Brother, is it over?" Chiyoko asked.

"No. I'm here to get Master some water. Chiyoko, Master is really amazing." Amao said with an admiring expression, "He actually read so many books and still has so many wild imaginations in his head. And he also has Pay attention to current social issues..."

"Really, I don't have the impression that the old brother was so knowledgeable." Chiyoko tilted her head, "The old brother was similar to the current brother except that he liked to talk dirty. Someone else."

"People will change. The difference between the me before and the me now is even greater." Amao said while opening the refrigerator, "Although I didn't know Master at that time, I think it must be the death of my parents that stimulated Master and made him He changed drastically.”

Chiyoko nodded: "That's right. In fact, I have changed quite a lot. Ah, I took the left one for the barley tea. I just put it in on the right side and it's not yet cold. Or do you want something that's not too cold?"

Amao looked at the two pots of wheat tea and said, "I'll take both pots and let Master choose."

After saying that, he held a pot of wheat tea in his hand, then closed the refrigerator with his foot, turned around and went to the dojo.

Chiyoko shouted to him from behind: "Remember not to mess with me too late, you are a candidate!"

"Don't worry, I'm measured." Amao responded.

Chiyoko sighed.

At this time, Nanjo Honami and Hinami Rina came out of the bathroom.

Honami saw Chiyoko's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Amao may have to stay with me all night tonight."

Before Honami could speak, Hinami Rina approached Chiyoko with a smile: "Are you worried about him taking the exam? Otherwise, I will prepare for the exam with him. What do you think? I am also a candidate!"

Chiyoko glanced at Hinami Rina's breasts and asked, "What, you don't chase my brother anymore?"

"I never wanted to chase your brother, I just came to learn from him how to be a good person." Hinami Rina said, turning around and hugging Honami, "I am a sober person, how can I compete with Honami, I am destined to fail. I won’t do anything like that.”

Honami took off Hinami Rina's hand from her body: "Do you have to act like a lustful middle-aged uncle?"

"Hehehe... So, Chiyoko, it's okay for Amao and I to review together, right?"

Chiyoko looked at Hinami Rina: "Are your grades good?"

"Very good. Ranked first in the junior year of Beigashi High School."

"Then can you go to Dongda University?"

Hinami Rina was immediately stunned by the question. After all, Kitagashi High School is not a high-deviation school. Even if you are the first in your grade, it would be very difficult to challenge the University of Tokyo.

Now the students and teachers of Kitagashi High School call Kazuma and his classmates the "golden class of phantoms". Not only is it a golden class, but the attributive "phantom" is also added.

After all, in this class, there are two universities from Tokyo, one from Keio, and one from the English Department of Sophia University.

Except for these four who went to prestigious schools, there are also a bunch of others who went to decent universities.

Hinami Rina looked embarrassed, but Chiyoko changed her tone of contempt: "If you can't get into it, then you're probably useless. Amao also wants to go to Tokyo University. He wants to be a lawyer."

At this time, Honami said: "Then he can't do it without going to a cram school. It would be too difficult to get into Tokyo University by just studying on his own."

"My brother didn't go to cram school either," Chiyoko said.

"That's because there are eggs." Mikako from the English Department of Sophia University was the last one to finish taking a shower and lazily came to the restaurant, "Chiyoko, is there any milk?"

"We don't have that kind of luxury at home." Chiyoko opened the refrigerator, "There is barley tea...ah, Amao took it all."

"Why, if you don't drink milk after taking a bath, it will be half the fun! To make up for the lack of milk, let's play pool."

Table tennis here in Japan is table tennis, and I don’t know why Japanese people like to drink milk and play table tennis when they go to hot spring hotels and other places after soaking in the hot springs.

Therefore, in harem anime, as long as you return from a hot spring trip, there will always be a scene of playing pool, and you can take the opportunity to give out a wave of benefits - of course, the biggest benefit is the bath itself.

Chiyoko said to Mikako angrily: "Where can I find that kind of thing at home? If you really want to exercise, go to the sword dojo and fence with my brother."

Mikako immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, Kazuma is too strong, there is no need to fight. He is already this strong now, and when he gets the exemption, I'm afraid we won't be able to beat him together."

Honami was convinced: "Yes, when he wants to pursue a higher ceiling, I'm afraid he will have to ask us to help him become the 'original'."

Yuanli means that one person stands on the same spot, and then more than a dozen people take turns attacking this person.

This is a common practice for Japanese swordsmen to pursue a higher level of kendo after no one in their own dojo can beat him.

According to this view, the Feitian sword-playing style should be the swordsmanship that the founder learned during the original establishment process.

Hinami Rina suddenly changed the subject: "Where is our dojo's Mama-san?"

"Mama-san?" Chiyoko looked at Hinami Rina in confusion.

"Yeah, don't you think today's Jinguji-senpai looks a lot like Mama-san from Kabukicho? She even plays the shamisen! All she needs is a gorgeous kabuki kimono, and she's Mama-san."

"She's only eighteen years old, isn't she old enough?" Chiyoko retorted.

"Oh, prostitutes used to start making money at the age of twelve. It's normal for moms to be eighteen."

"Indeed," Jinguji Tamamo said, "Eighteen-year-old Mama-san is very common in places like Kabukicho or Yoshiwara."

"That's right! You see, Senior Sister Jinguji said that..." Rina Hinami looked at Jinguji, blinked, and decided to act cute, "Hey~"

"Hinami, everyone has finished washing, should you go clean the bathroom and boil a new tank of bath water for the gentlemen who haven't washed yet?" Jinguji asked.

"I understand, I'll go right away. But, I'm a candidate and I haven't reviewed yet tonight..."

"I will teach you how to learn in person later." Jinguji Tamamo said kindly.

Nanjo Honami pulled Hinami and changed the subject: "Why did you go?"

"Let's take a walk. The moonlight outside is beautiful now." Jinguji Tamamo responded with a smile.

Honami glanced out the window: "Well, the moonlight is very bright. Today is a full moon night, right?"

"Yes, if it is a werewolf, it will lose its human form at this night and turn into a human-shaped wolf-headed monster." Jinguji Tamamo said.

"Danzi really likes these urban legends." Mikako said.

"Yes, if I have the chance, I really want to see a werewolf with my own eyes. But the werewolf legend should be false. The most credible theory is..."

"Ah, I don't want to listen!" Mikako blocked her ears, "Don't destroy my dream of urban legends! The story you told me about the elevator that the dog didn't want to enter last time made me materialistic. Why is the truth that the elevator leakage can be felt by dogs but not by people wearing shoes?"

Jinguji Tamamo smiled slightly and did not continue.

Honami said: "I have heard a saying that a lot of the power of witches comes from the moon, so the power of witches and monsters will reach its peak on the night of the full moon."

"Ah, I've heard it too, and it's said that vampires will become more powerful than ever during the red moon." Chiyoko sighed, "My classmate has been crazy about this type of novel recently, what else do you think? Being sucked by a handsome vampire.”

"The red moon." Jinguji Tamamo tilted his head slightly, "Generally speaking, the appearance of the red moon is due to too much dust in the air, which changes the refractive index of the air. Therefore, this phenomenon mostly occurred in the earliest industrialized areas. U.K……"

"Ah, you're here again! You're here again to destroy our dreams of urban legends and supernatural stories, and you're still the head of the supernatural department!" Mikako shouted.

"No, I'm just a mediocre member of the New Kaidan Research Association now, and I haven't succeeded in rising to the top yet." Jinguji Tamamo said with a smile.

"It's the seminar of that little senior sister, she's so pitiful. I'm afraid her power will be emptied out soon."

"It's been taken away."

"It's been taken away! It's so fast!"

Mikako has completely transformed into a ruthless complaining machine.

Chiyoko asked doubtfully: "Sister Mikako, are you really not from Kansai?"

"I'm not! I'm an orthodox Tokyoite!" Mikako loudly defended herself.

Nanjo Honami turned her attention to the corridor leading to the sword dojo: "By the way, it's not over yet?"

"No." Chiyoko shrugged. "They were talking about some topics that I couldn't understand and wasn't interested in. Why has the boundary between man and machine become blurred? How is the soul defined? I couldn't understand it at all. I started to worry about them filming it. Has anyone watched the animation?"

Jinguji Tamamo: "I was very happy to hear it. However, I am also not sure whether anyone will watch the animation. I feel it may be a bit ahead of its time."

Nanjo Honami looked very interested: "How to advance? Well, I will also participate in their discussion."

"You want to participate?" Jinguji Tamamo glanced at Honami in surprise.

Honami said confidently: "Yes, I want to participate. I am very interested in the blurring of the boundaries between humans and machines, and I want to know how to blur them."

"But the men were discussing..."

"Master taught me that the era of gender equality is coming soon. Master also said that Japan will one day not only have female congressmen, but also a female prime minister."

Nanjo Honami was completely unmoved, ignoring Jinguji Tamamo's intention to stop her, and strode towards the restaurant door.

Jinguji Tamamo thought for a while and followed in Nanjo Honami's footsteps.

When Mikako saw Jinguji moving, she immediately followed him happily.

Hinami Rina scratched her head and glanced at Chiyoko.

Chiyoko also took steps forward, and Hinami Rina followed suit.

**

On Kiryu and Kazuma's side, Okada Koji is looking for a topic: "Kiryu-sensei, you must already have an idea about the soundtrack, right?"

"Ah? Oh, the soundtrack." Kazuma was actually looking at the various setting sketches drawn by Anno Akito in his notebook at this time. He was thinking about Cyberpunk 2077, which he failed to play. He suddenly asked a question and was stunned for a moment before he could react.

"Of course I have an idea for the soundtrack. Isn't it the one I just played for you? It's outside."

As he said this, Kazuma subconsciously glanced sideways at Bizen Nagafune Ichimonzonome, which was stuck in the rockery just now. He hoped that the sword would not cause him to lose his temper over this matter.

——I’ll give you a new poster tomorrow, this time with a beautiful girl in a swimsuit.

Okada Koji was speechless: "The melody and the overall scene are suitable for sword and halberd movies, but what we are going to make now is already very different from sword and halberd movies... It is not bad to continue to use that soundtrack. …”

"It's easy. I'll give you another one." Kazuma gestured to Okada Koji not to worry.

"The Ballad of the Puppet" or something like that is both cyberpunk and suitable for sword and halberd movies.

After all, in the movie version of "Ghost in the Shell", the scene where the puppet ball first appears is actually a classic scene that combines cyberpunk and Japanese style.

It's just that the song "Puppet Ballad" is too tasteless to play on a harmonica.

You have to sing.

Kazuma pulled the cup from which he was drinking barley tea toward him, then picked up a pen on the table, tapped the edge of the cup, and listened to the sound - well, it's pretty good. It can be used to imitate the bell in the puppet ballad. Voice.

Then use the sound of pounding the table, imitate the taiko drum, and sing along with it. At least... you can express something, right?

Although he didn't have much confidence, Kazuma still used his broken voice to hum the melody in his memory.

He didn't remember the lyrics of the puppet ballad at all, but it didn't matter. The flavor of the song was not conveyed by the words.

When the time comes, Hemana will change the scriptures chanted by the Japanese monks, and he will be satisfied.

Kazuma hummed while tapping the table and cup slowly.

Anno Akito raised his head and looked at Kazuma with a surprised expression: "Wait a minute, listen to this soundtrack, are there still many Japanese elements in this world?"

Kazuma could only stop singing and excuse himself: "After all, it takes place in Japan in the near future."

Anno Akito: "That's right...that means we don't need to give up all our previous samurai sword and halberd movie ideas. We add a cool sci-fi core and visual elements, and then the fighting will still be in the sword and halberd movie style?"

Kazuma: "Yes."

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful!" Anno Akito clapped his hands, "I feel that we are going to create a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation! Kouji! We have to convince investors no matter what! Let's do this!"

Okada Koji nodded: "Oh, leave it to me!"

At this time, Kazuma suddenly found that the door of the dojo was opened, and the girls were all wearing home clothes and fragrantly standing outside the door, all looking at him.

Mikako spoke first: "What was that just now? Although it sounds weird, it also feels very good."

Kazuma: "That, I just thought of it. As for the name... let's call it "Puppet Ballad"."

Okay, Brother Kawai Kenji, I'm sorry, but I copied your masterpiece fifteen years... no, twenty years later!

Anno Akito praised: ""Puppet Ballad", great, this is a great name! We will make a great work, we will definitely do it!"

Nanjo Honami asked: "Have you finished talking? I also want to hear about how the boundaries between humans and machines are gradually blurring."

Kazuma wanted to say, "If you want to listen, then come to the bed and I'll tell you from the beginning." But he wasn't that bad yet.

Chiyoko spoke at this time: "Brother, it's very late, it's almost done. Amao has to go to school and work tomorrow."

"Oh, yes, we still have a part-time worker here." Kazuma patted Amao on the shoulder, "Master has started working part-time to make money. You can reduce your part-time job and concentrate on your review."

Amao shook his head: "No, my rent, dojo tuition and food expenses must always be paid. Don't worry, I am sensible and will not delay my review."

"Okay, by the way, I still have all the review materials I used. You can use them. Ask Chiyoko to bring them to you."

"Thank you, master."

"However, my review materials are all for the Dongda University exam, so you may not be able to use them..."

"No, Master, I also want to take the exam at Dongda University." Amao said firmly.

Kazuma glanced at him in surprise, then laughed.

"It's good to be ambitious, but if you can't get a B or above, you have to change your goals decisively. Being a lawyer is not the only way to go to Dongda University."

Of course, attending the University of Tokyo is the best way to become a lawyer.

For several other second-class routes, it is actually not easy to get into the corresponding schools.

However, since the universities are different, you cannot use the same review materials.

This is the most bizarre thing about Japan’s university admissions system.

Kazuma patted Amao on the shoulder: "Come on."

Amao nodded.

Then Kazuma stretched and let out a long yawn.

Although he didn't drink today, he was indeed a little tired after being noisy so late.

Nanjo Honami: "If you have time tomorrow, you have to tell me how the boundaries between humans and machines have become blurred..."

"It's a long story. Why don't you wait until the animation is ready and watch it for yourself." Kazuma smiled at Nanjo, "Anyway, it's a very cool thing."

"That's right, so please look forward to the movie." Anno Akito said confidently.

**

At the same time, Hanafang Takashi was observing the Kiryu Dojo with a telescope. While watching, he said to Daisuke Wakamiya who was doing the same thing with a long-distance camera lens: "It seems that the kind of big news we want to catch has not happened. 'Well."

"Yes." Wakamiya Daisuke was stunned, "But it's not this kind of news you want to catch, right? Don't you want to catch someone related to a serial murder case?"

"There's no harm in writing this down." Hanabusa Takashi waved his hand, and then changed the subject, "Just now... that was Jinguji's daughter, right? Why was she out for a walk? She also sang the popular song and so on. A song full of horror atmosphere.”

"I don't know, it can't be about exorcising ghosts, right?"

Hanabusa Takashi was speechless: "The Jinguji family, because they are a Japanese confectionery house, know a lot about tributes and other things, and I heard that his daughter also works part-time as a shrine maiden in several major shrines. Maybe she is really exorcising ghosts. You Check your negatives and see if you caught anything.”

Daisuke Wakamiya nodded, stood up with the camera and walked to the darkroom.

The pair really made it a permanent base and even built a full facility to develop photos.

By the way, in this era, photojournalists generally learned to develop and let others develop the photos. They might just get the exclusive ones they finally caught and sell them to the developer.

In addition, if you know how to rinse yourself, it will be easier for you to cheat.

In this era, there are no convenient tools like PS. If you want to make fakes, you can only use your brain on the negatives. The technical requirements are very high.

After Wakamiya Daisuke left, Hanabusa Takashi continued to observe Kiryu Dojo with a telescope, and suddenly his vision was occupied by golden pupils.

He suddenly broke into a cold sweat and quickly put down the binoculars.

Then he found a black cat with golden pupils squatting outside the window.

The black cat barked lazily, then lowered its head and began to lick its own fur. After licking it, it raised a paw and licked its paw.

Hanabusa Takashi kept his guard up and stared at the black cat, but suddenly he thought that it was unreasonable for him to be wary of a cat - the cat couldn't be a spy, it was probably just a wild cat that happened to be passing by.

Hanabusa Takashi looked around and suddenly found the canned fish he had just eaten not far from his hand.

It seems that the smell of canned fish attracted the black cat.

Hanabusa Takashi picked up the leftover canned fish and placed it in front of the black cat: "Here, eat."

The black cat meowed, lowered his head and sniffed the can, then started to eat it with confidence.

Hanabusa Takashi watched the black cat enjoying the canned food and completely relaxed.

He reached out and touched the black cat gently, and found that its fur was as smooth as if it had been oiled, and it felt very good to the touch.

This doesn't look like a stray feral cat at all.

"Come here when you are hungry, and there will be food for you every day." Hanabusa Takashi said.

**

The next day, early morning.

Shimagata Police Department Yoshiaki passed through the cordon and asked directly the patrol officer who came forward: "Did you find it in the refrigerator again?"

"Yes. We have taken custody of the first discoverer and the first suspect, the victim's boyfriend. He is in the room." the patrol officer replied.

Shimakata Yoshiaki turned around and gestured to his partner Yukida Keishi, and then walked to the apartment at the lead.

Most of the apartments on the Kandagawa side have similar structures, with roofless iron stairs, and the corridors on the second floor are also very simple.

Yoshiaki Shimakata came to the room where the crime occurred. As soon as he entered the door, he saw people from the forensics department bagging the body.

"Wait a minute!" Yoshiaki Shimakata stepped forward and observed the deceased carefully. "It looks like he was frozen to death, and he was wearing clothes... No fluid was extracted from his body?"

The forensic examiner shook his head: "No, it's as if the deceased walked into the refrigerator and froze himself to death. If the same situation hadn't happened several times before, this would probably have been classified as suicide."

Yoshiaki Shimakata stood up, turned around and exchanged a meaningful look with his partner.

Yukida Keishi smiled bitterly and said: "Have we now become characters in a certain mystery novel? Those mystery novelists like to set up such perfect crime scenes. How about we go and ask?"

Yoshiaki Shimakata scratched his head: "If we go to find a mystery novelist, where will the face of our police be? If the higher ups find out, they will scold us to death. Those students who came out of the student movement have now become the backbone of newspapers and magazines. They I wish I had the chance to bitch us to death.

"Let's use the old method. Investigate. I'll ask that boyfriend Sang first."
