I teach kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma handed Shimado Marina, who was still crying, to the social workers who cooperated with the police to comfort her. He and Jinguji Tamamo returned home and waited for Aramaki to return to Gongan headquarters to retrieve Nishida Jun's file.

As soon as he got home, Jinguji Tamamo picked up his school bag: "I will help you ask for leave from the professor. The reason is that you suddenly recovered from appendicitis."

"Appendicitis is too much, right? I need an operation. How about choosing a milder disease?" He Ma said.

"No, appendicitis is just right, so you can recuperate for a few days, and then it's Golden Week. This way you have more than a week to do what you want to do."

Kazuma thought about it and it did make sense.

But he still had a question. He looked at Tamamo: "I thought... you would follow."

"If there is a battle scene, I will become a burden. I can't support you until you grab the motorcycle like Ms. Kitagawa Saori did. If it were me that night, it would have been too late by the time you came to save me. .”

Kazuma originally wanted to say, "Follow me and I can take the bullet with you," but now that he heard what Tamamo said, he swallowed the words back in his stomach.

"Have a nice trip," he said to Tamamo.

By the way, Chiyoko and Amao had already set off for school at this time.

Tamamo smiled and nodded, turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Kazuma: "I'll call Honami back, so you can have a car and a companion."

"No, no need." Kazuma waved.

Tamamo insisted: "This way we can have someone to take care of us. Honami has experienced the Osaka hostage incident, so it will definitely come in handy. Moreover, if you bring a girl with you, it will be easier for people to relax their vigilance. Look at the social worker who just came to take over Marina. , that is, a man and a woman work in pairs.”

Social workers were born out of the original church volunteers, but now with the development of psychology and sociology, they have expanded into a highly professional industry. Social workers usually work together with men and women, so that regardless of the gender of the case target, there is no Gender barriers will arise.

Kazuma was reasonable and what Tamamo said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

After Tamamo left, Kazuma was the only one left at home - no, Senior Brother Huacheng was still sleeping soundly in his own room on the second floor.

Kazuma had nothing to do, so he took a screwdriver and started checking his phone.

Battery miniaturization technology is not very good these days, and small batteries have too little power, so bugs are generally connected to ready-made power sources. The telephone is a very suitable place for installing bugs. In this era, telephone lines have some electricity and are basically uninterrupted, which is perfect for bugs.

In addition, there are various lighting equipment, and the bug starts charging as soon as the lights are turned on at night.

People don’t have to live without nightlife at night, but they have to turn on the lights.

After Kazuma checked the telephone, he began to check his own lights.

Halfway through the inspection, Kazuma heard the sound of brakes outside.

He put the light bulb back into the lampshade, got off the chair, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, Nanjo Honami hurried into the dojo.

"Slow down, these thumping footsteps don't sound like yours. I thought Mikako skipped class too." Kazuma joked.

Nanjo Honami stared at Kazuma for several seconds, then rushed up to him and gave him a big hug.

Kazuma:? ? ?

Honami: "Danzi called the communication room in our teaching building and said that you were attacked by gangsters and were about to die. You asked me to go back to the dojo to say goodbye to you."

"Fuck, do you believe this? If that's the case, you must go to the hospital, okay?"

"I know it's false! But when I thought Dandanzi wouldn't make such a joke for no reason, it must be an emergency! I just..."

Kazuma raised his left hand to scratch his head, and then patted Honami's back with his right hand: "She's just too lazy to say too much, so she can just find any reason to make you run back at all costs. This egg is very mean-spirited."

He Ma said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was: "Danzi, you did a good job, you did a good job!"

Kazuma stroked Honami's hair with his hands and smelled the delicious white plum fragrance on her body. If there wasn't a tomorrow in Tokyo waiting for him to save, he really wanted to hold the girl like this all the time.

However, now he could only temporarily separate from the girl, and took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"No, I have it." Honami took out her embroidered handkerchief and was about to wipe her face. Suddenly she came to her senses and grabbed Kazuma's handkerchief before he could take it back, and started wiping it happily.

After wiping the sweat and tears off her face, Honami naturally kicked the handkerchief back into her pocket, then took out her makeup box and quickly touched up her makeup, then looked at Kazuma and asked: "So what is going on? I still feel that Dandanzi wouldn't joke like this... No, she thought you'd run away if I came back late!"

Kazuma: "That's probably what happened. It's like this-"

Next, Kazuma sat down in the dojo with Honami and told everything that happened this morning, from his speculation that Nishida Jun had a problem to Higashide-san's little courage.

"How pitiful, Mariina, is she really okay? Sure enough, it would be better to recruit her into the dojo and let us all support her together, right?" Honami said.

"Let's trust the social workers here first. The important thing is to get information from Nishida Shun and find out the mastermind behind all this." Kazuma held a fist as big as a casserole and hit the dojo's wood heavily. on the floor.

Honami nodded: "Yeah, yes. What do you want me to do? Suzuki Butler is waiting in the car outside. Do I still need to call my security manpower dispatch company?"

Kazuma told Honami before that she has been trying her best to have Suzuki butler follow her to protect her safety recently, and it seems that she has listened well.

"With Suzuki Butler as backup, that's almost enough. It's best not to let the Nanjo Consortium get too involved in this matter."

Honami nodded: "Okay."

Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang.

Kazuma said, "Maybe it's Aramaki."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Aramaki walking around the yard in three steps and then two steps.

It seems that the "failure to walk through the front door syndrome" has spread from person to person among the guests of the Kiryu family.

"A lady from the Nanjo family? Isn't this bad? Or is it that the Nanjo Consortium is planning to participate in the production of police equipment for the SAT force, so it's a way to get acquainted with her first?"

Honami continued very naturally: "Grandpa does have such an idea, and he also wants to strive for the production of new night vision devices for the Self-Defense Forces. My family owns 30% of the equity of Xizhi Electric. If we can win this order for them, we can expand My family has the right to speak at the shareholders’ meeting.”

Kazuma: "Tell me the facts of the case, tell me the facts of the case, Aramaki-san!"

"It turns out to be Aramaki-san. I was trying hard just now to figure out if I missed any key senior police official. Now I'm sure I haven't seen you." Honami said, "Nice to meet you."

"I'm a gongan, not a police officer. It's normal that Miss Nanjo has never seen me. But I know you. After all, you were also very active in the Osaka hostage incident - I mean, you were very active with Kiryu-sensei."

Aramaki said, pulling a cushion beside Kazuma and sitting down.

Honami stood up: "I'm going to make tea..."

"No, no, just keep it simple. Miss Nanjo, you also want to participate in the investigation. It's best to listen together." Aramaki said, taking out a large brown paper bag from his briefcase, opening the seal and pouring out a stack of documents.

"First of all, there is the whereabouts of Nishida Shun. Because he is also a person involved in the incident, his whereabouts must be reported to the police every day. If he has not lied, he should be rehearsing the new stage play he created in this small theater these days."

Aramaki said as he pushed the top document in the pile in front of Kazuma and pointed at the photo that looked like the front entrance of the theater.

Kazuma glanced at the address of the theater and realized that he had no idea where the address was.

This is normal. He has only traveled a year, and he has never been to most places as big as Tokyo.

Seeing Kazuma's expression, Aramaki added, "This theater is on the upper reaches of the Kanda River, about half an hour's walk from the URB band's practice room."

Kazuma said "Oh".

Aramaki continued: "Regarding what happened this morning, Tosaburo discovered this at the scene."

He placed a photo on top of the document.

The photo shows a physical therapy device sold by Welfare Technology.

Aramaki: "However, considering that this physical therapy device has been very popular in Tokyo recently, and many families in the same community have bought it, this cannot be a key piece of evidence."

Kazuma: "Have you never actually tried this physical therapy device?"

"I tried it. Several people, including me, tried it after writing a suicide note, but nothing happened. This is a very ordinary electromagnetic physiotherapy device."

"...Have you ever tried using this physical therapy device while listening to URB songs?" Kazuma asked again.

"We tried it. We tried every element we could think of. We even used the conference room at the headquarters to restore the interior furnishings of the URB karaoke room, but it didn't work."

At this time, Honami finally couldn't help but interjected: "What's wrong with this physical therapy device? I remember that when Ma told me about the case just now, he didn't mention any physical therapy device."

Kazuma then remembered that he had not mentioned anything related to the physical therapy device. After all, it seemed that this thing had nothing to do with the case, so he quickly gave Honami a brief summary.

Honami frowned: "Welfare Technology? I have an impression... Oh, yes, isn't this the main customer of Shiba Ikuta? I have met the chairman of Welfare Technology at some cocktail parties. What is his name?"

"Aikawa Horataka." Aramaki added on Honami's behalf.

Honami nodded: "Yes, that's it. I have a bad impression of him because he is obsessed with sex and always talks about how science can bring people happiness. He wants to be a messenger of happiness for others. He has no idea what it means."

“And while he was chatting, he would lean on people, especially young girls, and he would naturally put his arms around people’s waists.

"I met him once at a cocktail party. He smelled of cheap tobacco, and he came to me shamelessly. I ran away on the pretext of picking flowers, and threw his business card into the trash can when we got out of the hall. Then I said I felt sick. I felt comfortable and went straight home.”

Aramaki nodded: "It is consistent with the information we have. This person likes to touch young girls and his private life is very chaotic."

Kazuma silently wrote down this person's name in the little notebook in his heart.

As a gentleman, Hema felt that the person who touched the girl was a heinous and unforgivable crime.

Um?

Kazuma suddenly said: "Aikawa Horon, what does he have to do with this time's victim No. 1, Aikawa Hoshiko?"

"It doesn't matter." Aramaki said, "Aikawa Hoshiko is the stage name, which was only given a few years ago. Aikawa Horonko was the name given to him by his parents when he was born, and it has not been changed for many years."

He Ma was speechless: "Is it a coincidence? But... in this case, are there too many coincidences? There must be some kind of necessity hidden in so many coincidences."

"It must be our mission to find what is hidden in this." Aramaki paused, then pulled out another document from the stack and placed it in front of Kazuma, "After the death of Takeshi Okada was announced this morning, Tokyo 23 District Incidents of varying degrees occurred, and there was even movement on the Kanagawa side.

"Most of them were caused by fans causing trouble. Ninety percent of the incidents did not pose a threat to anyone. Of the remaining 10%, most were cases of self-harm. There were only three vicious cases.

"One is the unfortunate Higashide classmate this morning, and then there was a family in Mitaka City who attempted suicide by burning charcoal. Preliminary investigation showed that the mother drugged the father, son, and daughter in their breakfast, and then burned charcoal and committed suicide.

"But when the neighbor came to deliver the notice board, he noticed that the husband didn't seem to have left for work. He became suspicious and called the police. Now the whole family is undergoing rescue operations."

Kazuma frowned: "If this is an ordinary music craze, that's fine. If this is caused by man, I will praise the person who caused all this."

Honami: "Is there another vicious incident?"

Aramaki hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Don't talk nonsense about the last incident. A policeman with a gun was a fan of URB. He drew his gun and shot his boss and colleagues at the police station this morning, and finally swallowed the gun and committed suicide. Metropolitan Police Department Prepare to suppress this and cover it up with death in the line of duty."

Kazuma: "Can the person who was shot agree?"

"Everyone who was shot is fine. The most serious one was only moderately injured. It was too late to be happy about getting promoted for no reason." Aramaki said.

Honami's mouth opened into an O shape.

Kazuma: "Thanks to the Japanese police revolver garbage."

Aramaki continued: "There are some less important intelligence materials. Please look through them and take note of them. If you have anything you want to ask, tell me. Nishida Shun's theater will start to be crowded at about ten o'clock, and he himself will be there at noon. Arrive at the theater at one o'clock and start directing the rehearsal."

Kazuma glanced at the dojo wall clock: "Okay, let's get ready and set off."

Aramaki suddenly asked: "Are you skipping classes? Although skipping classes in college is quite common, be careful not to get enough credits to graduate."

Kazuma: "Don't worry, I have Jinguji Tamamo to help me plan everything, and I won't get enough credits."

Aramaki raised his eyebrows, then glanced at Honami: "So, who is your true love? Or are you planning to create a de facto 'big one'?"

Daao means harem.

Kazuma looked embarrassed, and was about to excuse himself by saying that these are my apprentices as usual, when Honami spoke first: "Is Nishida Jun's previous resume included in these documents?"

"Ah, yes, yes, this is it."

Aramaki immediately turned his attention to work, took out a document from the pile of documents he had brought, and placed it in front of Honami: "This is his personal resume so far, but he disguised himself as a woman and joined the Takarazuka Theater Company. The relevant people are tight-lipped about the experience for a period of time, so it is very brief.”

Honami frowned slightly: "Well, this makes people feel like 'there is something wrong with this experience.' In general detective stories..."

Kazuma: "In detective stories, things that seem problematic are often smoke bombs, right?"

"No, it depends on which genre of detective novel it is. For the original school, because their dogma is not to use misleading narrative tricks, there is a high possibility that there is a problem." Honami paused and sighed, "But the reality is not necessarily created by the original author. Maybe the Takarazuka Theater Company kept silent because they got into a relationship with a man and had sex with him."

Kazuma: "Anyway, let's go meet this Nishida Jun first and try to find a way to knock something out. He was caught by me once, so he should have a certain fear of me. We can take advantage of this. The best case scenario is, When he saw me running toward him with murderous intent, he turned around and ran away."

Aramaki said: "In that case, we will arrest him immediately."

"But you should be careful, he has incredible ability to change clothes, and he can change clothes quickly and well."

Kazuma reminded.

Aramaki: "We know. This is mainly because he worked as a special effects makeup artist for several years before joining the Takarazuka Theater Company, and he was the best."

Kazuma licked his lips, thinking that indeed the term "person in the painting" had a logical explanation, and that he did not just give the other person the ability to disguise himself out of thin air.

The entry for the person in the painting should be because the other person has superb acting skills and can play completely different roles at will, just like the person in the painting.

Coupled with the hard skills of a top special effects makeup artist, Nishida Jun has gained a strong ability to hide from others.

At this time Honami said: "I have probably read his resume. If there is nothing else to prepare, I think we can set off."

"Wait a minute," Aramaki said, and took something out of his briefcase.

A Walter PPK pistol, holstered, lay on the wooden floor of the dojo in front of Kazuma.

"Just in case." Aramaki said.

Kazuma: "I'm not trained to use a pistol."

Kazuma has the ability to quickly draw a gun, but no one knows this. He had always wanted to learn how to use a gun at the Nanjo Consortium's security manpower dispatch company, but he had been so busy that he couldn't make the trip.

Using a gun on someone who has not been trained is actually a very dangerous thing.

So Kazuma planned to refuse this "little gift".

Aramaki said: "In the incident in Osaka, you have clearly used modern weapons such as Uzi, right? I believe that you can control a PPK, so I applied for this gun with the weapons management department , this behavior was also approved by my boss."

Kazuma suddenly understood.

This gun is officially recorded in Gongan.

The gongan would not give Kazuma written identification, but holding the gun would be an admission of working for the gongan.

If Kazuma dies and the gun is discovered by the police, the police will know that Kazuma died while working for the gonggan.

Kazuma actually wanted this gun.

It's normal for a boy to like guns, and he bought a bunch of water guns with someone who is almost 30 years old.

But Kazuma was still a little worried, so he asked: "I carry this gun. If the police ask questions or something and find that I have a gun, is it unclear?"

Aramaki asked back: "There are still policemen in Tokyo who would stop Kiryu-sensei for your inspection?"

Kazuma: "Uh... just in case, for example, the temporary worker is ignorant or something."

Aramaki smiled and said: "Don't worry, the gun license needs to pass a test first to prove that you can skillfully and safely use firearms. It's not an emergency now. Just wait for the matter to be over and go through the process."

Kazuma then confidently picked up the holster and took out the gun.

This is a new gun and has been carefully maintained.

Kazuma skillfully removed the magazine and confirmed the bullets inside.

However, with his current strength, he can't just weigh the weight of the magazine to roughly know how many bullets are in it. He has to look at the observation strip on the side of the magazine.

After confirming the bullet, Kazuma held the gun and was careful not to put his index finger into the trigger guard - this is a mistake often made by many beginners, commonly known as the "golden finger" in military fans.

Kazuma carefully pointed the muzzle of the gun at the ceiling - except for the enemy, the muzzle should not be pointed at anyone at any time.

He turned to the wall of the dojo, half-crouched on the ground, and aimed at the poster of Nahoko Kawai on the wall.

He always felt that his two knives were emitting an unpleasant breath.

But to be honest, Kazuma liked this beautiful little pistol very much and couldn't put it down.

Maybe this has something to do with his genre.

Sakamoto Ryoma, the most famous swordsman of Beichen Itto-ryu in modern times, once said a famous saying: "This thing (referring to the revolver) is much easier to use than a sword!"

After playing with it for a while, Kazuma carefully closed the safety and put the gun back into the holster.

He was going to put the gun holster on his back - this holster was obviously the type that was slung on the left ribs rather than on the waist. To put the gun on his back, he had to take off his jacket first.

So Kazuma unbuttoned his coat.

Honami immediately stood up, came behind Kazuma, helped him take off his coat and held it in his hand.

He Ma put the holster on his back and adjusted it to a position suitable for drawing the gun.

He suddenly wanted to try his skill of quickly drawing a gun.

He stood up, signaled Honami to step back, and then stood in the middle of the dojo, looking through the door to the courtyard, facing the big cherry tree that had begun to fall outside.

Kazuma closed his eyes and recalled how to activate the quick draw skill.

Then he discovered that the method of activating the skill, which was originally aimed at the gun holster on his waist, actually changed depending on the posture of carrying the gun.

This system is quite smart.

The moment he opened his eyes, Kazuma activated his skill.

So he drew his gun and opened the safety button in one go.

Aramaki exclaimed: "Oh, so fast!"

Honami put Kazuma's jacket on her arms, smiled and clapped.

Aramaki: "It seems...the rumor that you changed to Beichen Itto Style is true."

Kazuma suddenly felt that everyone in this world knew that Beichen was good at using guns.

Aramaki might have known this, so he gave Kazuma a full gun.

Kazuma put away his gun and took a deep breath: "Okay, get ready to go."

Honami unfolded the coat and flattened it, stepped forward to put it on Kazuma, and helped him adjust the shape of the coat so that no one could see the existence of the holster.

While she was doing it, she asked Kazuma: "Do you still have a knife?"

"You definitely can't carry a real sword, it's too obvious. But we are all in the kendo club, so it's normal to carry a wooden sword."

"Understood. I only brought my own bamboo sword. I'll get one from the dojo's warehouse later."

Honami helped Kazuma adjust his clothes and went to the warehouse.

As soon as the girl left, Aramaki put on a serious expression: "I still don't recommend taking Miss Nanjo there. There are too many women among the victims of this incident. I have a bad feeling."

Kazuma: "Don't worry, Honami is very strong, very strong. Otherwise Tamamo wouldn't insist on me taking her with me."

Aramaki hesitated for a moment before saying, "I understand."

Then he wanted to bow so deeply to Kazuma that his head almost touched the wooden floor of the dojo.

"Please, Kiryu-sensei."

Kazuma: "Leave it to me."

At this time, Honami came out with a bamboo sword and handed one to Kazuma.

The two of them carried bamboo swords on their backs and looked at each other.

Honami looked quite happy. The moment she met Kazuma's eyes, she put away her smile and became serious - after all, this was not the occasion to smile.

Kazuma: "Let's go!"

Honami nodded slightly: "Let's go."

Kazuma strode towards the door to the courtyard of the Daimon Dojo, subconsciously humming the famous Soviet song "Departure".

Aramaki raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.
