I teach kendo in Tokyo

the next day.

Yukagawa Xiangzi made an appointment with Dashan Takahiro to a coffee shop near Xiangzi's house.

Kazuma arrived early in the morning with Asano.

Asano changed his clothes and looked like a frivolous trendy boy.

Kazuma looked at his attire and commented: "Based on your height, I thought you might be an exaggerated love saint, but looking at your attire, I believe it."

"That's too much. My shortness is relative. I'm not considered short when I'm with a girl, okay!"

"Who said that, when you went to my house to drink, you were shorter than my sister and Tamamo, and taller than Seiryu."

"I'm even taller than your senior!"

Kazuma thought of the two bean curds from his hometown. Ami-chan went to Kazuma's dojo to drink when he had something to do, and complained that Toda was talking about horses to him again.

Miss Xiangzi looked at Asano and said with a smile: "Asano-san doesn't look like a detective at all, more like a male publicist in a public relations club."

He Ma said: "He looks so skinny, he will probably be beaten away when he catches the prisoner."

"I have muscles too!" Asano said, raising his arm and showing off the "little mouse" on his arm.

Kazuma sneered and said: "What's the use of having muscles? It's useless if you don't have enough weight. You see, boxing must be classified according to heavyweight, because the one with too much difference in weight is at a huge disadvantage."

"Hmph, when I meet the criminal, I will show off my abilities and I will definitely convince you to convince the police department."

Kazuma glanced at the top of Asano's head and confirmed that he had no martial arts level at all, thinking that he might have learned the fighting skills from the police academy.

Kazuma has never seen modern fighting with levels, nor has he seen sumo wrestlers with relevant levels, so it probably doesn't count.

Asano turned to look at Miss Xiangzi and changed the subject: "Miss Xiangzi, we have to be more intimate later to be credible. Are you okay?"

Kazuma: "What, you want to take the opportunity to eat other people's tofu?"

"No problem, it's better than Dashen." Xiangzi hugged Aso's arm and pressed against it.

Kazuma: "Miss Xiangzi, you don't really have a crush on my handsome detective, do you?"

"It's not impossible." Xiangzi smiled, "But Detective Asano should deserve better. After all... my reputation is no longer clear."

Kazuma then remembered that she had worked in Dashen's store, so he confirmed: "You have worked in Dashen's store?"

"No!"

"Then how do you know him?" Asano asked strangely.

"I joined a fraternity, organized by my college classmates. Dashen didn't say at the fraternity that he ran a custom shop. In fact, I didn't know about his occupation until recently. My parents found him after he started threatening me. Detective Agency, and then they still refused to tell me the truth.”

"So you haven't worked in his store? But the police at the police station told me that you have worked there."

"Because Dashen put me on his store's promotional directory!" Xiangzi said with a painful look on her face. "At first, it was just the neighbors spreading bad rumors. I don't know how the rumors spread. I didn't know until I went to the police. what happened!"

Kazuma: "Just adding you to the list won't spread so quickly. Maybe he has distributed flyers near your home, or found someone to spread rumors about you."

"He also threatened to distribute small cards in my university." Xiangzi said with tears in her eyes. "If that happens, I'm afraid I will have to drop out of the university."

Kazuma frowned: "Doesn't it mean that you dropped out of school and admitted that you did such a thing? You have to deny it loudly and fight against this rumor! After all, no one has really seen you in that store. After all, You’ve never been in that store.”

Xiangzi looked at Kazuma in surprise, then lowered his head thoughtfully, murmuring: "I don't know, I don't know if I have enough courage to do this kind of thing... This seems to be something only hot girls would do. , I’ve never tried anything like this.”

Just as Kazuma was about to continue encouraging Kouko, the bell at the door of the store rang.

He looked at the door and saw Dashen Xiaohao entering the store, and he was wearing a fancy suit and a pattern.

It seems that he doesn't plan to hide anymore.

Seeing him dressed like this, the clerk in the coffee shop was frightened, and even said welcome weakly.

A clerk came up and asked timidly: "What can I do for you?"

"Why, Jidao can't drink coffee?" Dashen asked.

The clerk quickly replied: "Of course! Where do you want to sit?"

"I have an appointment."

At this time Dashen saw Kazuma and raised his eyebrows suddenly.

He left the disheveled clerk in the wind and strode towards Kazuma. As he walked, he said loudly: "Kiryu Police Department, why are you here? Are you still worried about what my little brother spit on you yesterday? Police Department added. , if you continue to pester me like this, I will file a complaint against you for abusing your power."

Kazuma smiled and said, "I can't help it. When my partner called me this morning, I was confused. Just let them talk to you."

Kazuma deliberately emphasized "both of them".

Dashen noticed something and frowned: "Both of them?"

He looked up at Asano.

Xiangzi directly hugged Asano's shoulders, and the little bird clung to Asano's body.

Asano: "That's it. Xiangzi and I fell in love at first sight. Can you please, my ex-boyfriend, stop harassing my girlfriend?"

He Ma picked up the coffee and took a sip, then looked up at Dashen who was frozen.

The effect is surprisingly good.

Dashen trembled and said, "Interpol Sang, do you know that this woman used to work in my shop?"

"I don't care." Asano spread his hands, "Actually, from my many years of experience in playing games, girls who can't play well are very boring. Besides, Mr. Dashen, your store has a good reputation. I heard that you can even accompany you when drinking. There’s not much close contact.”

Asano made use of the information he received from Detective Shiratori yesterday.

Dashan sat down next to Kazuma, stared at Asano across the table for several seconds, and then smiled: "Interpol-san, are you trying this trick? Police Department supplement, this is your idea, right? Let the interpol pretend to be in love with Xiangzi , and then I won’t dare to take action, is that what you mean?”

Kazuma: "You really think so. It's a pity that it's true. They seemed to have done everything they needed to do yesterday."

Asano: "Miss Xiangzi has a mole here. I saw it when I was licking it last night."

Xiangzi was shocked: "Hey, is there one?"

Kazuma stared at the two, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was acting or real life.

Dashen suddenly slapped the table, denting the plastic tabletop: "Interpol Sang, you are in trouble this time!"

Asano: "You don't want to attack the police, do you? Even if you are a cadre of the Kanto United Direct Generation Group, this is a big problem. Although I am only a patrol officer, I am a patrol officer of the 1st Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police Department. I thought the police would let it go so easily."

Dashen smiled: "Of course I won't do such a thing. In fact, since this is the case, I can only let it go. Xiangzi, you must be aware of it. All your college classmates will know that you did it at my place." .”

"I haven't done it!" Xiangzi said loudly, "I'm not afraid of you spreading rumors. I will refute those rumors openly! Let's see!"

"Okay, very good." Dashen stood up, snorted, turned around and left.

Xiangzi watched him leave the store, and then asked Asano worriedly: "What should I do? Will you be okay?"

"It's okay, he doesn't dare to really do anything to the detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 1." Asano said nonchalantly.

Kazuma asked the question he was most concerned about at this time: "Have you really done this?"

"How is that possible?" Asano smiled, "Miss Xiangzi told me in advance."

Xiangzi also smiled: "I have been pretending not to know about this before. After all, the spot is in a place where I can never see it. My high school boyfriend discovered it."

Kazuma and Asano exclaimed in unison: "Eh?"

Xiangzi hissed softly: "You were also curious when you were in high school, right? Dashen never told me about this, and he didn't know that I was in love in high school. I told him that I was a racing driver in high school. From the bike department.”

Kazuma said "Oh" and then confirmed: "You really haven't worked in Dashen's shop, have you?"

"No! Detective-san, you are so outrageous. I have never told a lie in front of you."

He Ma nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand. In short, this matter should be over. Dashen should not harass you anymore, so Asano and I will go to work."

"You came here without reporting? Is this a problem?"

"It's okay. The criminal police often have to investigate cases, so clocking in at work is not so strict. Correspondingly, we often continue to search after get off work." Kazuma waved his hands and said nonchalantly.

Asano also stood up: "Then let's go."

"Wait a minute!" Xiangzi stood up, hugged Asano and kissed him on the cheek.

Kazuma: "Is it necessary?"

"Yes." Xiangzi whispered, "He will come to inquire with the clerk, so I chose a seat far away from the counter. The clerk can only see our intimate actions and cannot hear our words."

Kazuma nodded: "I see."

Xiangzi thought for a while and said, "I'd better go to the door together. Kiss her goodbye again at the door. Let's go."

Kazuma turned around.

Asano picked up the order on the table and seemed ready to pay.

Kazuma noticed that the order was taken away by Asano and breathed a sigh of relief.

The group of people paid the bill at the door and left the store. Then Xiangzi "kissed goodbye" to Aso again, and then Kazuma walked to the parking lot with Aso.

In the parking lot, Kazuma saw Dashen leaning against his car door, obviously waiting for Kazuma and the two of them.

"Police Department Bu Sang," Dashen saw the two people approaching, stood up straight, and walked towards Kazuma with a cigarette, "I don't understand, can you get any benefits from meddling in my business?"

"It's no good. It's just that as a righteous friend, I cannot allow a Yakuza to bully a decent woman."

Dashen smiled: "Police Department Bu Sang, don't you think that our colleagues at the local police station are so incompetent that just because my store has Xiangzi's name on the directory, you believe that she has worked there?"

Kazuma also responded with a smile: "No, I just think that based on Xiangzi's description of you, you should not let Xiangzi pick up guests if you are so possessive."

After Dashen dated Xiangzi, he called all of Xiangzi's male classmates to confirm Xiangzi's relationship with them.

Xiangzi also once felt that she was being watched. If she sat with male classmates in class, Dashen would know about it, and then she would be beaten.

Dashen: "I don't know what you heard from Xiangzi, but I want to tell you that those are all her nerves. She has some mental problems. I have asked a psychiatrist to diagnose her. She seems to have delusions. Maybe It’s the after-effects of taking those pills at the dance club.”

At this time, Asano said: "Girls who don't even have pierced ears will go to dance clubs, so you can't tell a lie."

"I don't have my ears pierced because I'm worried that his parents will find out! After all, you can wear fake earrings like that!" Dashen said sternly.

He approached Kazuma and said, "Police department officer, you'd better tell me the truth now and tell me that your partner's relationship with Xiangzi is fake and it was your idea. Otherwise, I guarantee you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"Are you threatening?" Kazuma sneered, "You actually dare to threaten the detective of the Metropolitan Police Department. Aren't you afraid that I will record it?"

Kazuma didn't have money to buy a small tape recorder, otherwise he would have to record it.

"Don't you understand? I guarantee that you will regret it for the rest of your life. This will not be considered a threat, because too many people usually say this. I may know what the law is like better than you."

Kazuma: "Oh, that's incredible. The gangster understands the law and wants to be invincible."

"That's not true. Now, tell me the truth." Dashen looked straight at Kazuma.

Kazuma responded calmly: "Love came so suddenly, I didn't expect it. But considering Asano's appearance, it's normal. After all, he was the eldest son of the Police University back then."

Asano was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Ah, it's okay. But there are quite a lot of handsome people in the police academy, and there is one named Matakyo who is very handsome. I haven't done any competition, so I don't know who is more handsome, me or him. .”

Dashen ignored Asano's arrogance. He glared at Kazuma and said word for word: "You will regret it, the police department will make up for it. You will definitely regret it."

"I'm waiting." Kazuma replied.

Dashen turned around and left.

Kazuma: "Hey, it's very rude to say goodbye without saying goodbye. Didn't your mother teach you that?"

Dashen got into his car, started the car and drove off.

Kazuma turned back to Asano and spread his hands: "So these yakuza are completely rude and disgusting."

Asano smiled and shook his head.

"Let's go, we solved one thing, and now we have to find another case to solve."

"Finding a case is much more difficult than dealing with Dashen."

**

For the next whole day, Kazuma didn't find a single case, and he was even more idle than when he was in the publicity department.

When they clocked out in the afternoon, the two inspectors at the garage door chatted and talked about the isolated island called Search Class One.

Kazuma took Asano to the subway station and drove back home.

That night, Kazuma was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

He sat up and heard Tamamo, who was staying over tonight, answer the phone.

Kazuma thought for a while and then lay back down. He picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table, looked at it with the night light on, and found that the short hand pointed at three o'clock.

"Damn it, who is it?" he muttered.

Then he heard Tamamo's hurried footsteps.

"Kazuma!" Tamamo opened the door and said anxiously, "Your partner, Asano, was stabbed by a drunkard."

He Ma sat up suddenly: "What?"
