I teach kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma only found out about what happened in the prison by reading the newspaper the next day.

In fact, the evening newspaper should have reported it that day, but the Kiryu family had no money, so they didn't even subscribe to the evening newspaper.

Only Kazuma could watch the evening news on TV, but Kazuma did not come back until very late after tossing around in the Earth Room.

Early the next morning, Kazuma went out and picked up the morning paper. He quickly scanned the headlines first, and then read more carefully when he saw something interesting. As a result, he had just browsed to the second page when he saw the report that the lead singer of URB had committed suicide.

The picture accompanying the report showed the scene of Takeshi Okada's mother crying. To be honest, if this photo was placed in a newspaper, the Metropolitan Police would have to shake it.

Just at this moment, Amao, who had finished delivering the newspaper, appeared in the distance on his bicycle. Kazuma hurriedly shouted to him: "Go and buy a copy of this morning's morning paper! Remember to buy a serious newspaper!"

Amao has been delivering newspapers for more than a year, and he can naturally tell which ones are serious newspapers and which are unreliable tabloids.

So he nodded, turned around with superb driving skills, and walked along the way he came.

Kazuma always felt that someone was using the media to interfere with the search process. In order to verify this idea, he first wanted to see the attitude of the major newspapers.

But there wasn't much Kazuma could do until Amao returned.

He could only continue to read the newspaper in his hand to see how much truth he could dig out of the report.

In the next few minutes, Kazuma quickly read through the newspaper.

Takeshi Okada, the lead singer of URB, committed suicide by hitting a wall. According to the newspaper, this way of death was "extremely painful" and "it is very difficult to succeed, much faster than biting your tongue." "Unless you have extremely terrible determination, you will never succeed. ".

Kazuma punched the wall of his house with his hand, feeling the pain of his fist hitting the wall.

It is indeed difficult to commit suicide by hitting a wall, but not because it requires a lot of determination, but because this thing is very noisy and it is not easy to die. You must know that the human head is the hardest part of the body.

Moreover, hitting your head will cause you to faint. If you are not hit to death but pass out, and there is such a big noise and the prison guards come, you will die.

From the reports, the drummer Yuichi was like this. He hit his head and fainted on the ground. He remained unconscious until the prison guards discovered that Takeshi Okada had committed suicide and began to check the conditions of all the prisoners. He did not wake up.

Kazuma put down the newspaper and licked his lips while thinking about why this unfolded.

Generally speaking, this is what key information the lead singer of URB had, so the other party silenced him.

But it was a little late to silence the silence...

The lead singer of URB was arrested a week ago, and now April is almost over, and in two days it will be May Day Golden Week - Japan also celebrates May Day Golden Week.

After Golden Week, spring is almost over, and now it’s time to enter Japan’s rainy season.

Kazuma was thinking when he suddenly heard a scream.

Wait, why does it feel like I encountered this routine yesterday?

Kazuma raised his head and looked around, and saw several female students wearing high school uniforms standing not far away.

"He looked over!"

"ah!"

"Come on, go get an autograph!"

The three girls pushed each other, and Kazuma felt that they could push each other for a year without opening their mouths.

So Kazuma said, "Are you readers of Weekly Fangchun?"

The three girls looked at Kazuma together and nodded together. Then the girl in the middle realized it and shook her head quickly: "No, no, no, we usually don't buy Weekly Fang Chun. This time we were passing by a convenience store and couldn't help seeing the cover. Just buy it if you want to live in it!”

Reading Weekly Fangchun means announcing to the people around you, "I am a gossip groupie." In addition, Weekly Fangchun has a very bad reputation, so it is normal for girls not to admit that they are regular readers who have been buying it.

Kazuma said: "Bring it here. I'll sign it for you. But I didn't bring a pen. Do you have one?"

"Yes! Yes!" the girls replied quickly, and then trotted to Kazuma together.

One of the girls saw the Harley-Davidson motorcycle that Akira Hanayama left in front of Kazuma's house yesterday, and asked curiously: "Is it that Harley?"

Kazuma looked back and nodded: "Yes, that's the one."

"So handsome! Then, where is your lance?"

Kazuma raised his eyebrows and glanced at the girl who was talking, and said with a smile: "That's not a lance, it's a bamboo pole that was taken temporarily to hang a curtain in someone's shop. Of course it's returned to someone now."

"This, this is it..." The girl sounded a little disappointed.

Kazuma took the magazines and notebooks handed over by the girls and wrote the names one by one with the pens they gave them.

After signing, Kazuma returned the pen and things to others and asked with a smile: "Are any of you interested in coming to my dojo to study?"

The girls looked at each other and screamed together.

Kazuma had a question mark on his face.

What the hell?

After the girls finished screaming, two of them looked at the middle one. It seemed that the middle one was the leader of their small group.

"Teacher Kiryu, if you let us join the dojo," the man in the middle straightened his hair and looked at Kazuma shyly, "does this mean we can also join the competition for the position of wife?"

"Wait a minute!" Kazuma said without any explanation, snatching back the weekly magazine Fang Chun that had just been returned to the girl. After turning to his own special page and browsing quickly, he howled in annoyance:

"Hanabusa Takashi! Remember this!"

**

On the second floor of the house not far away, Hanabusa Takashi put down his telescope and laughed.

After laughing, he picked up the can of beer at his feet and clinked glasses with Daisuke Wakamiya, who was also smiling.

"To our good luck!" Hanabusa Takashi shouted, "To our money tree, Kiryu Kazuma!"

"Kiryu-kun, live a long life!" Wakamiya Daisuke also said in unison, and then the two of them drank happily together.

After emptying the can of wine, Hanafusa Takashi suddenly sighed: "It's strange. Originally, we were planning to seriously pursue Kiryu-kun for in-depth investigation and regain our original intention of being investigative reporters. How come we ended up writing this kind of paparazzi news?" Woolen cloth?"

"It's hard to change a country's nature." Daisuke Wakamiya shrugged, "However, I feel that if we follow the case to the end this time, we will be able to come up with an in-depth report that will not lose to those genuine investigative reporters."

Daisuke Wakamiya paused, then suddenly changed his tone: "But when the time comes, the editor will definitely say that he is not doing his job properly, and then emphasize, 'Our magazine is all about the lower body, what about the lower body?'"

Hanabusa Takashi waved his hand: "This is simple. We can write more about Kiryu-kun in the serious investigative report. I have already thought of the title, so I will write 'Modern Samurai Daimyo and His Harem Beauties'."

"It just so happens that so many people are watching the Dahe drama now, and novels about swordsmen are also popular."

Around 1980, there was a craze for "period novels" in Japan, and many swordsman novels were produced that often lasted for thirty or forty volumes.

The Japanese publishing industry has a strict system. There are "traditional rules" regarding the format and pricing of serious novels when they are published.

Go to bookstores in Japan and you’ll find that many novels are priced the same, 1,640 yen. Only the famous ones, such as Haruki Murakami, don’t follow this price.

But starting in 1970, a series of emerging publishing companies, represented by Kadokawa Shoten, began to launch "bunkoben" targeted at low-income people.

As a result, the Japanese publishing industry has formed a new business rule. When a new novel is published for the first time, it is called a "single edition" and is generally judged by A4-this judgment is equivalent to China's "XX Kai", which is the format at the time of publication.

A year after the single book of the novel was published, a cheap version was published again using the "Bunku Judgment" method.

This is actually a price discrimination strategy. Novelists and publishers use this method to harvest readers as much as possible.

By the end of the 1970s, a kind of novels began to appear that did not publish single books at all, but went directly to the library. These novels were cheap, full of sensory stimulation, and were despised by serious novelists.

But people earn more with small profits but quick turnover.

There are many novels like this in the house that Hanabusa Takashi and his friends rent, and the cover of each one shows a fierce swordsman and a naked woman.

Hanabusa Takashi likes to bring a book with him when he is "chasing hot topics", so that he can read it to pass the time, and he can tear it up and use it as toilet paper when he goes to the toilet.

Hanabusa Takashi will not look down on the people who write these novels. After all, the weekly magazine he works for is not much better than toilet paper.

Now that we were talking about these novels, Hanabusa Takashi remembered it and quickly took a picture of Daisuke Wakamiya who was opening a new can of beer: "You take pictures, there will be content in the photos."

"Just chatting with a few girls won't have any impact." Wakamiya Daisuke said, "Unless Kiryu-kun's 'main palace' comes out at this time, then there will be drama."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wakamiya Daisuke and Hanabusa Takashi saw a car appear in the distance at the same time, heading straight to the entrance of Kiryu Dojo.

"Oh! Here we come!"

Hanabusa Takashi became excited and picked up the telescope. Wakamiya Daisuke also hurriedly returned to the camera and played with the new large lens.

However, Hanabusa Takashi said: "Don't take pictures! She is the daughter of the Jinguji family, don't take pictures of this."

Wakamiya Daisuke: "It's a pity. It would be fun if she was a girl from the Nanjo family. Or maybe from a commoner family."

**

Jinguji Tamamo looked at the three high school girls in front of Kazuma with a smile: "Do you guys want to learn kendo?"

The three girls looked at Tamamo up and down, and then involuntarily glanced at the car behind her.

When they spoke again, they were obviously timid: "We are interested in this, but..."

"Please invite me there, let's start with the trial admission." Jinguji Tamamo continued to say with a smile, "If you are embarrassed to ask Master Kiryu to guide you, I can do it for you."

The three girls looked at each other and then bowed to Tamamo together: "Sorry, we have to go to school!"

After saying that, the three of them turned around and ran away.

Kazuma held up the magazine Fang Chun in his hand: "Wait a minute! You didn't take away the magazine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the girls rushed back, grabbed the magazine, and ran away very quickly.

Kazuma raised his eyebrows, turned to Tamamo and said, "You don't have to scare people away. This is all income. Chiyoko is going to read again."

"Do you think a girl like this can afford 20,000 yuan a month in tuition?" Tamamo asked.

Kazuma scratched his head: "Even if you can't pay it, you can still earn a few thousand yen for a day of trial enrollment..."

Kazuma said and glanced at the Harley motorcycle placed under the "bicycle shed" on the side of the entrance.

If Wuma wants to ride this motorcycle, he must first get a driver's license, which of course costs money, a lot of money.

After taking the driver's license test, he still has to pay for gasoline. He is a gas guzzler.

Although Kazuma knew that in a few years President Reagan would join forces with OPEC to bring down the price of oil in order to deal with the Soviet Union, but that hadn't happened yet.

For these reasons, Kazuma is now "Chiyoko-like".

I want money and ride a cool car.

Tamamo looked at Kazuma, then at Harley, and said, "How about I help you pay the money out?"

"No, I refuse!" He Ma replied instantly, "A man can raise his own mount by himself."

In fact, He Ma wanted to say "You are teaching me how to do things", but the context did not fit, and there was no way to pay tribute to "Play Back to School" here.

Tamamo thought for a moment and then said, "How about asking Huashangjun to pay the money?"

Huh?

"This doesn't count as a soft meal, right?" Tamamo looked at Kazuma with a half-smile.

Kazuma: "I refuse."

"Why? You didn't hesitate at all when you took Kenichi Konma's favorite sword."

Just as Kazuma was about to explain to Tamamo, Amao came back on his bicycle.

"Master, I bought back all the four major newspapers and several reliable mid-level newspapers." He braked suddenly in front of Kazuma, put his feet on the ground, and then handed Kazuma a stack of newspapers in the basket.

"There are all reports of the death of the lead singer of URB band." Amao added.

Kazuma took the newspapers and found that every newspaper turned to the page where URB read the lead singer's report.

He glanced at Amao and said, "Well done, ask Chiyoko for the money."

"No need, I've saved a lot of money."

"Are you stupid? Do you still have to pay for Dongda University tuition?"

Kazuma said this, but did not open it, but continued to read the newspaper.

Tamamo came behind him and leaned against his shoulder to read the words on the newspaper.

Kazuma quickly flipped through all the newspapers, speechless.

All reports were similar, and all newspapers questioned the police when commenting on the incident.

By the way, the photo of Takeshi Okada’s mother crying was used in almost every newspaper.

Journalists are particularly fond of photos that can arouse readers' emotions.

Anyway, he flipped down the morning newspaper of Hema Duidu Daily and found out that the Metropolitan Police Department was now being put on the fire.

Someone is probably going to come out and bow.

He turned to look at Tamamo: "What do you think?"

"See with your eyes," Tamamo replied.

"It's enough to pretend to be stupid and talk about comics. Mikako is enough. I'm asking you seriously." Kazuma frowned slightly.

Tamamo: "But I can't answer anything of value, or do you want me to do some divination?"

Kazuma: "Divination... what can be divined? The real murderer?"

Tamamo shook his head: "It can't be done now. And since entering modern times, human beings' ability to change the future has become stronger, and divination has become more and more inaccurate.

"What's more, I will tell you the divination results, the morning star, and you have a huge ability to influence the fate of others. Even if I get an accurate divination, it will be inaccurate the moment I tell you."

Kazuma frowned: "Like... like in "Minority Report"?"

Philip Dick's famous work "Minority Report" tells the story of human beings realizing crime prediction through technology. Three forecasters predict the crime together and decide whether to arrest the person who is about to commit the crime based on the majority principle.

The prediction that is in the minority is summarized as the "Minority Report".

Then at the beginning of the story, the police officer responsible for the arrest was predicted by the system to commit a crime.

At the end of the novel, the police officer discovered that it was really like: the first predictor predicted that the protagonist would commit a crime, and then the second predictor predicted the future in which the protagonist decided not to commit a crime after getting the prediction results.

What the third predictor saw was a future in which the protagonist committed a crime again because the system predicted that the protagonist would not commit a crime in the future and did not give a crime prediction.

In short, all three reports are "minority reports".

This is a short story that is very science fiction from its structure to its core. It explores the question of "should we arrest potential criminals who have not committed crimes yet?"

As a result, Spielberg's film version did not discuss this topic in depth at all, but only created a visual spectacle.

By the way, this short film by Philip Dick was also one of the sources of inspiration for the later popular animation "Psycho-Pass".

Jinguji Tamamo obviously had not read "Minority Report", she tilted her head: "What is that? A novel."

"Yes, a novel. The same author as "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"?"

Tamamo: "Oh, I'm going to read it then. Do you have any other books by Philip Dick that you recommend?"

Kazuma subconsciously wanted to recommend "The Man in the High Castle" and "Total Recall", but suddenly he remembered that he had seen so many Dick's works that he couldn't explain it, and - Brother Dick is not popular yet, he has to wait for Silver Wings He only became popular after The Killer came out, and some of his books really don’t always have Japanese versions.

This will be difficult to explain later.

So Kazuma shook his head: "No, I haven't read many Dick's works."

Amao, who had been listening, sighed: "No, Master, in my opinion you are already very powerful, you are only 18 years old."

Kazuma: "I'm nineteen years old."

Kazuma sweated, but luckily he had just stopped the car, otherwise there would be no explanation.

At this moment, a minivan drove over in the distance.

He Ma recognized from afar that this was the "special car" of the Jinshan Group, and then he discovered that there were several bullet marks on the door of the van.

The Jinguji family's car started and drove forward a short distance to make room for the van.

After the van stopped in front of Kazuma, Kazuma first said to Nishikiyama Heita in the passenger seat: "It looks like your car just went to Afghanistan?"

"How is it possible? There are more than just a few bullet holes in Afghanistan. This is a gift given to me by the Fushou Gang when I went to the port area yesterday for 'support'." Jinshan Heita opened the door and got out of the car, looked at and The pile of newspapers in Ma's hand.

"Looks like you already know that," he said. "These newspapers are moving faster than you think."

Kazuma: "Even if I change the layout overnight, it's too fast. It's as fast as taking money."

"That's not enough." Nishikiyama Heita said, "I have recently started using Kang and other things, and it is said that the changes can be made very quickly."

The word "computer" in Japanese, like other imported words, is fully transliterated. It is called Kangpiyoute. It is far less understandable than the Chinese word "computer". Many middle-aged people who are new to it don't know what Kangpiyoute is.

In 1981, the Japanese publishing industry began to popularize laser typesetting and computer typesetting. Next door, China still uses typesetting.

Kazuma sighed, and then inserted the topic: "You came here to bring me a message, right?"

"Yes, you, hurry up and graduate from college, and then join the Metropolitan Police. I am very tired of being a mouthpiece all day long." Heita Nishikiyama said, taking an envelope from Bando who was driving, and stuffed it into Kazuma, " This is the interview record of Takeshi Okada’s mother, as well as the preliminary autopsy report.

"In summary, there is no poisoning, no signs of stimulants or other drugs, and there are no signs of homicide. It looks like suicide."

Kazuma was stunned: "Isn't this just like those girls who look like they walked into the refrigerator by themselves?"

Nishikiyama Heita nodded: "Yes, if this continues, maybe the police will close the case as 'idol worship and music fanaticism lead to serial suicides'."

"Won't public opinion explode?" Kazuma was shocked.

In his previous life, if the relevant departments had dared to operate like this, public opinion would have exploded.

Nishikiyama Heita smiled and said: "At times like this, it's time to make some splash in the entertainment industry. Just find a national idol and make some scandals. The popularity will subside soon. You have also been a celebrity, right? You should have a deep understanding of this.”

Kazuma was very popular for a while last year because of "Ninjutsu Heir" and "Osaka's Heroes", and then the limelight passed within a few weeks. Life was as usual, and he didn't even have many students in his dojo.

Nishikiyama Heita continued: "Of course, it is inevitable that the top police officers will come out and bow, and then they will find a scapegoat and send him out of Tokyo. That's it."

Kazuma frowned: "So, Detective Shiratori hopes that I can make some breakthrough? Does he trust me too much, a high...college student?"

He Ma has been in college for a month, and he still can't change his attitude.

Nishikiyama Heita smiled and said: "First think about what you have done. In this incident, you discovered the first body, captured the first suspect, and the most important suspect, Takeshi Okada, although You didn't catch him, but you gave the police the opportunity to catch him.

"If I were a white bird, I would also place my hope on you. It's like that Scottish policeman, what's his name..."

"Are you talking about Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard? The one who comes here all day long to find Holmes to solve cases?"

"Yes, that's the Scottish police officer." Nishikiyama Heita didn't seem to care whether Lestrade was a Scottish police officer or a Scotland Yard officer. "And you are obviously Holmes."

Tamamo: "Then I'm Watson? My medical skills are pretty good, but I'm not good at shooting."

Kazuma silently wrote down: Jinguji Tamamo is a wet nurse and has healing spells.

Nishikiyama Heita said: "That's it. Shiratori obviously hopes that you can make a substantial breakthrough before the higher-ups are pressured to characterize this as a series of suicides and blame the blame. I have brought my words, and the rest is up to you. .”

After saying that, Nishikiyama Heita turned around and got in the car.

Kazuma stopped him and asked, "How is the war going on your side?"

Nishikiyama Heita shook his head: "It's very bad. The opponent has gone crazy and has no martial ethics at all. The 'Wind Chime' has become a piece of equipment that everyone has. In key battles, there must be an assault rifle..."

Amao asked doubtfully: "Wind chime? Is that...the nickname of the weapon?"

Nishikiyama Heita: "Of course it's the nickname of the weapon. Is it possible to really use the wind chime to fight? It's a pistol they call the Big Black Star. They like to use it to replenish their wounds. When they hear the sound of the gun, they Just like hearing the sound of wind chimes in midsummer, you can feel the coolness.”

Kazuma thought to himself that you Yakuza are quite poetic.

Jinshan Heita closed the car door, glanced at Kazuma, and warned: "Stay away from the port area recently, it is very dangerous. And the young master who heard that you are at Diaobai Summit? If I were you, I would stay away from her. , Bai Feng now wants to take advantage of the current situation in the field and take the opportunity to ascend to power."

After saying that, Nishikiyama Heita motioned to Bando to start the car.

Kazuma suddenly said: "Don't die, I plan to use you for promotion in the future."

"Don't worry. I have a very tough life. After I survive this catastrophe, I will be promoted. I'm afraid that a rookie professional team who just joined the Metropolitan Police Department will not be able to do anything to me." Nishikiyama Heita replied. Ma showed a fearless smile, "If you can't climb as fast as me, you won't be able to do anything to me, college boy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the van started and drove away quickly.

Kazuma looked down at the manila envelope in his hand.

It feels like the contents inside are much less than the envelope sent by Nishikiyama Heita last time.

It seems that the Sakurada Gate investigation headquarters has indeed made little progress recently.

Kazuma thought about the situation that Heita Nishikiyama had just briefly introduced, and muttered to himself: "Suicide. Another suicide."

He took the envelope and newspaper and walked home.

After entering the door, he put all the newspapers on the newspaper rack in the entrance hall, took the envelope and walked into the dojo.

Tamamo said to him from behind: "I'll get you a cup of coffee filled with sugar. It can improve your brain's thinking speed."

"Okay." Kazuma nodded and went straight into the dojo, where he usually meditated, and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

Amao sat down on the side, looking like he was ready to be dispatched at any time.

Kazuma once again reviewed the recent incident he had taken in.

Then he opened the brown paper envelope, took out the documents inside and read them carefully.

Suddenly, he saw this entry in the prison guard’s duty record:

The criminal began to wail, "I have clearly crossed the narrow gate."

Narrow gate?

Gide's "The Narrow Gate"?

Or the “narrow gate” in the Bible?

Kazuma suddenly recalled something, so he turned to Amao and said, "Amao, give me those previous documents."

"The ones you want me to keep carefully?"

Because the Kiryu family did not have a safe or anything like that, Kazuma gave the documents to Amao for safekeeping. With Amao's sense of responsibility, he would check the status of the documents carefully every day to ensure that no one had touched the documents.

"Yes, those are the ones." Kazuma said.

Amao stood up immediately: "I understand, please wait a moment."

Soon, the information on the victims of the serial murder case, the on-site investigation report, etc. that Detective Shiratori asked Nishikiyama Heita to send last time were all sent to Kazuma.

Kazuma directly took out the on-site investigation reports and confirmed them one by one.

--This has!

——This one is also available!

Jinguji Tamamo came over with coffee, sat down next to Kazuma, and put the coffee next to Kazuma: "The coffee is here. However, it seems there is progress?"

"Yes!" Kazuma said, "Before taking his own life, Okada Takeshi wailed: 'Obviously I have crossed the narrow gate.'"

Tamamo: "The Narrow Gate" by Gide?

"No, it's from the Bible, the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. I forgot which chapter and verse it is. Anyway, this narrow gate refers to the boundary between God's realm and the mortal world. Once you enter the narrow gate, you can see God's realm."

Tamamo: "The God of Music. But, is there a narrow door for other cases?"

"Yes, this is it." Kazuma took a document and drew a circle on it, "Before the deceased Naoki Tsutani died, her neighbors heard her shouting, 'I have clearly written it out, and I have clearly crossed the narrow gate. '."

"what about others?"

"Others don't have narrow doors, but look at this. Before she died, Naoki Tsutani was obviously composing music. There was music sheet spread out on her desk, but no one could understand what was written on it. Look at this again," Kazuma took another deceased person's on-site exploration record, "There are also music scores, and there are also a lot of ghostly symbols. And this one, this one found an open empty music score, with nothing on it. And this one, just put a large number of music scores Burn it.”

Tamamo nodded: "That's true, it seems...but this cannot be used to convict someone."

Kazuma: "The key is not here. The key is that there is a deceased person and there is no music score on the scene."

As he spoke, Kazuma pulled out a file of the deceased and placed it on the table.

The name on the file is Aikawa Xingzi.

"The deceased I found, Aikawa Xingzi, had no music score at the scene. Her way of death was different from others."

Jinguji Tamamo frowned: "Later, you caught the suspect Nishida Jun, but..."

"But because the deceased appeared again, I judged that Jun Nishida was not the murderer." Kazuma laughed. "This judgment is made because the police believe that this is a serial murder committed by the same murderer. However, if Aikawa Hoshiko's death , different from the ones behind..."

Tamamo said: "Nishida Jun may still be the murderer."

"That's it. And why would he have a body in the freezer? Coincidence? What if it wasn't?"

Kazuma took out Nishida Jun's information and pointed to one of the locations with his finger: "Look, the lawyer who released Nishida Jun's bail is called Shiba Tadahisa. He also happens to be the attorney representing the lead singer of the band URB."

Tamamo: "I see, all the clues are connected."

Kazuma: "That's right. Nishida Shun knew that there would be a series of deaths in the future. He knew that these people who had lost the favor of the God of Music would commit suicide in the refrigerator. He knew that this would be judged as a serial killer murder case, so he killed a person and used Same method disguised as the work of the same killer.

"Although we still don't know in what way Nishida Jun was involved in this matter, it is right to arrest him first."

At this time, Amao, who had been listening in, said: "As far as I know, an arrest warrant cannot be issued for this reason."

Kazuma: "I arrest people without a warrant."

"Lynching is illegal. Moreover, any information obtained during lynching cannot be used as evidence in court." Amao continued.

Kazuma was speechless, holding his chin and thinking again.

Then, he decided: "In this way, let's find this Nishida Jun first and make some insinuations to find out where the wind is coming from. I'll call Detective Shiratori. Nishida Jun has been released on bail. In theory, he is still a person related to the case. His whereabouts are to be found. Under police control."

Tamamo: "Okay, my car can be used at any time. Do you need me to find connections in the art world? This Nishida Jun, was once a member of the Takarazuka Theater Company, right? A man actually got into the Takarazuka Theater Company, which is supposed to be all women. , should be covered up as a scandal.

"But if my family takes action, there might be someone willing to recall the past."

Kazuma: "If I can't get anything out of Nishida Jun, this is the only way."

As soon as Kazuma finished speaking, he heard the doorbell.

None of my apprentices know how to go through the front door, they must come from the courtyard, so the ones who ring the doorbell must be guests.

Kazuma had already heard Chiyoko's answer to the door: "Come on, come on!"

Kazuma: "Chiyoko! Stay! I'll answer the door."

As soon as he made progress, someone knocked on the door. From a dramatic point of view, the possibility of this being a "ghost knocking on the door" was very high.

Kazuma wouldn't make that kind of mistake.

He said to Amao: "Pack these away and I'll answer the door."

"good."

Then, Kazuma left the dojo and headed towards the entrance.

Chiyoko was still in the restaurant, stretching her head uneasily to watch Kazuma's actions.

Tamamo followed Kazuma, just halfway down, which was a decent distance.

Kazuma came to the door and opened it.

Outside the door is the agent Aramaki, and a strange face with long hair.

Aramaki: "Is it convenient now? Kiryu-sensei."
