I teach kendo in Tokyo

Mrs. Kitamachi thought for a while, then shook her head: "Except for telling me about the safe, there is nothing else. In addition, he bought this safe a month ago. I complained to him at that time, saying that he bought this safe. What are you doing? If you really have something to save, we can go to the bank and rent a safe."

"Did he come back specially to buy a safe?" He Ma held his chin in thought.

Seeing Kazuma enter a thinking state, Asano asked: "Don't you feel stolen?"

Mrs. Kitamachi shook her head: "No, I don't think there has ever been a thief in the house."

Asano continued: "But the things were indeed stolen. You didn't notice the thief. Maybe it's because the thief only came after the things in the safe. He didn't touch anything else in the house at all, and he didn't touch anything outside the study. Stay longer.”

After the words fell, Kazuma, who had been deep in thought, spoke: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Kitamachi, please report to the police station."

"Eh? Aren't you two police officers?"

Kazuma: "We are not the criminal police of this department, and we are not responsible for handling theft cases. Farewell."

After saying that, Kazuma turned and left.

Asano looked apologetic and said to Mrs. Kitamachi: "Please forgive me and accept the change. We will definitely get to the bottom of this case and make your husband's injustice clear."

After speaking, Asano also left.

**

In the crepe car, Asano complained as soon as he climbed into the passenger seat: "Police department, please don't be so impersonal. My husband just died, and you left so coldly without even saying a word of comfort." …”

Kazuma: "That safe is not a low-quality product that can be opened easily. Unless a thief uses a bomb, it will be difficult to open it. Mr. Kitamachi committed suicide yesterday, and the things were stolen today. It was a bit too fast."

Asano: "Then maybe the thief is possessed by Cassino?"

Kazuma glanced at Asano: "Have you ever watched Garrison's Suicide Squad?"

"I rented the video tape by chance." Asano shrugged, "The police department surprised me that you knew this. You can't afford to rent the video tape, right?"

"Although I don't have the habit of renting and watching videotapes, I still have a videocassette player at home. My apprentice left it with me but didn't take it away."

After finishing speaking, Kazuma brought the topic back to the original direction: "Even if you are an expert in opening safes, it is very troublesome to open safes. Common safe thefts are actually 'blasting', which means using explosives to blow open the safe. cabinet.

"The evidence prepared by the Kitamachi Police Department disappeared without a trace. I think there is only one possibility."

Asano frowned: "Are you suspecting Mrs. Kitamachi of being a thief?"

"Yeah, she obviously knows the password to the safe, and she opened the safe very quickly just now."

"Just because of this, you doubt Mrs. Kitamachi? This is so unreasonable." Asano protested loudly, "Don't say that the court will not accept it, you can't even convince me."

"This is easy." Kazuma started the car, drove out of the parking lot near Kitamachi's house, got on the road, turned a few turns and arrived at another parking lot.

After stopping, Kazuma opened the door and got out of the car: "Come on, let's walk back to Kitamachi's house."

Asano also got out of the car: "Your suspicion is so unreasonable. Mrs. Kitamachi was so sad after we just told her about her husband's death."

"Sadness can be faked." Kazuma said this and walked quickly along the route he had just driven, and soon arrived at the door of Kitamachi's house.

He hid behind a telephone pole and looked through all the windows of Kitamachi's house.

At this moment, Mrs. Kitamachi opened the door and came out.

She changed into a black kimono. After going out, she first looked around, as if to confirm if anyone was watching.

Kazuma temporarily retracted, and at the same time, he held Asano, who wanted to look out, with his hands, and asked him to stand against the wall.

After confirming the situation, Mrs. Kitamachi hurriedly walked north.

Kazuma: "Look, I said there's something wrong with her, right?"

"This doesn't mean that there is something wrong with him. Maybe he just went out? Maybe he just went to see his own psychiatrist? Wait a minute, why is the police station trying to fix you? Do you want to break into the house?"

"Why am I breaking in? There is no proof material we want in that room."

Kazuma waved away the hand that was tugging on his sleeve: "I'll follow her and have a look. Maybe I can see her getting married to someone else."

"You're still talking, do you think you're playing a spy game?" Asano complained as he followed Kazuma.

Kazuma followed Mrs. Kitamachi through several blocks, then watched her enter a coffee shop.

Kazuma went directly to the convenience store opposite the coffee shop, and went to the magazine area of ​​the convenience store to pull out an unbagged magazine and read it while paying attention to the situation in the coffee shop opposite.

Asano came to Kazuma and whispered: "I didn't expect to go to the coffee shop. Is it true that the police department deceived you?"

Kazuma: "Shh, shut up. There are so many people here, so maybe someone will hear you."

Asano closed his mouth.

Kazuma waited in the convenience store like this for an hour. The clerk came to chase someone away once, and he had to buy two ice cream sticks to shut up the clerk.

Asano is still beautiful: "The police department paid for the ice cream with a penny, hehe!"

Kazuma silently filled his mouth with ice cream.

Suddenly, a familiar face appeared across the street. He stood in front of the coffee shop and looked around. Unfortunately, he didn't look at the place where the person was actually hiding.

After the man finished this spy-like move, he entered the coffee shop.

Through the window glass of the coffee shop, Kazuma clearly saw the man walking towards Mrs. Kitamachi.

Asano whispered: "Isn't that the Minister of Criminal Affairs Noriaki Hanagi? What is he doing here?"

"Maybe Mrs. Kitamachi is cheating on her." Kazuma casually gave a reason.

Asano patted Kazuma and said, "Maybe I just came to ask about my husband's death."

Kazuma shrugged.

**

At this time, in the cafe across the street, Mrs. Kitamachi said eagerly to Noriaki Hanagi: "That star detective came to my house. Didn't you say that no police would come to trouble me?"

Hanaki Noriaki: "Don't be nervous. Kitamachi Kenichi will definitely end the case by committing suicide. Kiryu Kazuma is now in the mobile team. Although he left a legal loophole due to convenience back then, he can't change the situation."

"He is now a legend in the Metropolitan Police Department!" Mrs. Kitamachi raised her voice slightly, looking very nervous. "He left in a hurry just now. I think he might have seen through me! You don't know how sharp his eyes are. You can pierce me with your sight!"

Hanaki Noriaki held Mrs. Kitamachi's shoulders: "Calm down. You were just affected by the propaganda of the Metropolitan Police Department. Those propagandas are all to appease the people. After such a tragic thing happened, the people need a hero to distract their attention. So we created a hero.”

"But he really..."

Hanaki Noriaki grabbed Mrs. Kitamachi's wrist: "You're not talking nonsense, are you? Remember the rhetoric I taught you before, right? Say you didn't notice anything unusual about your husband! Otherwise, it would be too deliberate and look fake."

"I told you! I also took the Kiryu Police Department to see the empty safe and acted out a surprise scene."

"Okay, that's enough," Noriaki Hanaki interrupted Mrs. Kitamachi, "You're not attracted to that guy, are you? Although I personally don't think he has any charm about that guy, he is indeed very popular with women. Weekly Fang Haru His love story is almost being turned into a TV series."

Mrs. Kitamachi said angrily: "I'm not that frivolous!"

"You're a cheating woman, why are you pretending to be a white lotus?" Hua Mu Fanming said coldly, "Go back and don't contact me again. You just called me out for this matter. I thought you were in trouble."

"But……"

"When Kiryu and Kazuma come to visit again, you cry. The sadder you cry, the better. It's not difficult with your acting skills, right? As long as you cry, Kiryu and Kazuma won't be able to find any clues."

Mrs. Kitamachi bit her lip and then nodded slightly.

**

On Kazuma's side, faced with the clerk who came to chase people away again, Kazuma had to show his ID.

However, as soon as he settled the matter with the clerk, he saw Noriaki Hanaki coming out of the coffee shop.

Asano: "It seems like it's over."

"Let's go." Kazuma strode out of the magazine rack and out of the convenience store.

"Wait a minute, the police department will fix it! Wait for me!" Asano was about to follow, but found that he was holding a magazine in his hand. He turned back and stuffed the magazine back into the bookshelf, then rushed out of the convenience store and followed Kazuma.

Kazuma directly stopped Noriaki Hanaki: "Hey, Criminal Affairs Minister-san, what kind of wind brought you here?"

The corner of Hanaki Noriaki's mouth twitched when he saw Kazuma.

Kazuma sneered and asked: "The Kitamachi Police Department who committed suicide lives nearby, right? Are you an old friend of the Kitamachi Police Department and are here to express condolences to his widow?"

Hanaki Noriaki smiled slightly and asked Kazuma: "Ms. Kitamachi called and said that a strange detective came to look for him. It must be you, police department added."

This trick of turning the tables on the guests was indeed quite clever. He directly made it clear that he was here to see Mrs. Kitamachi, and then Kazuma couldn't find any fault with him.

Sure enough, Noriaki Hanaki is not a guy who can get things done in just a few words.

Kazuma: "I told Mrs. Kitamachi about Mr. Kitamachi's suicide. The strange thing is that Mrs. Kitamachi said that there was nothing unusual about her husband."

Noriaki Hanaki: "It should be because Kitamachi Kenichi shows off his strength in front of his wife. Aren't all Japanese men like this? No matter how depressed they are, they will pretend to be strong in front of women because they don't want women to worry about them. Kiryu Police Department added You must have had a similar experience, right?”

Kazuma: "Indeed."

"Then let's leave it to the ladies at the Madam Association to appease her. Kiryu Police Department, you have to pay attention. There is a lot of trouble in front of the widow's house. If the Weekly Fang Chun catches something, we have finally built up the heroic image. It’s over.”

Kazuma smiled. Other gossip tabloids might make some unfavorable reports on Kazuma, but Weekly Fangchun would not.

Weekly Fang Chun will only make some irrelevant rumors about Kazuma

Kazuma: "Didn't Mrs. Kitamachi tell you that her safe was stolen?"

"said."

Kazuma: "It's really weird. When we were at her house, we found that the safe was stolen. She didn't call the police after we left, but called Hua Mu-san. Don't you think it's a little strange?"

Hanaki Noriaki said with a smile: "Mrs. Kitamachi probably thought that it would be more effective to go directly to me, the criminal director, than to simply call the police. She had no idea that I just assigned the work to the detectives under my command."

Kazuma: "So the Minister of Criminal Affairs Hanaki will send out capable officers to hunt down the thieves who stole the safe?"

"Of course." Hanaki Nori said clearly, "It is said that Kitamachi stored evidence related to a major crime in the safe. Of course we must recover it as soon as possible."

Hema said unexpectedly: "Is it to get it before it falls to the Tokyo Prefectural Inspection Bureau?"

Hanaki Noriming stuttered, but immediately adjusted himself and replied: "Of course not. We are criminal police, and fighting crime is our bounden duty. Since it has been stated that there are major crimes, of course we must bring the criminals to justice. "

Kazuma: "Then I'll beg you, Minister of Criminal Justice Sang. I, the instructor of the Mobile Team, will not participate blindly."

After saying that, he bowed slightly to Hua Mu Fanming, turned around and walked away with his head held high.

Asano caught up and asked in a low voice: "You really don't want to participate?"

"How is that possible? I'm going to look for connections in the Jidao and ask if there are any safe-stealing experts who have taken on the job recently."

"Didn't you say that Mrs. Kitamachi is committing theft?"

"Yes, but I have no evidence, so I first checked the safe robbers in Tokyo."

"What if the police paid people to steal things? In this case, these safe robbers would keep secret, right?"

Kazuma: "Yes. But it's better if I ask around first."

As he said that, he got in the car and started the car after Asano also got in the car.

Originally, Kazuma wanted to go directly to Nishikiyama Heita's office, but then he thought that he was now the most famous policeman in Tokyo, so it seemed not good to enter Nishikiyama Heita's office in public.

So Kazuma found a phone booth and called Jinshan Office.

After three rings, the person over there picked up the phone: "Moses Moses?"

It's Nishikiyama Heita himself.

Kazuma: "I am Kiryu Kazuma, I want to ask you something..."

Nishikiyama Heita interrupted Kazuma: "You know, after I sold your watch to the pawnshop, the police raided the pawnshop an hour later."

Kazuma was shocked: "Raid the pawn shop? Why?"

"Pawn shops are like this. You can't survive without doing some black industry. After all, they have a special status. Even if they sell stolen goods, they can still say that they didn't know it was stolen goods. At most, they are responsible for poor supervision."

Kazuma: "You mean, pawn shops will more or less help sell stolen goods?"

"That's what happened. Otherwise, why would they want us to be protected by the Yakuza? So it's normal for a pawn shop to be attacked. But at this time today, people have to think about it."

Kazuma's face turned livid: "Do you suspect there is something wrong with my gold watch?"

"That's what I mean. Just an hour after the gold watch was sold, the police raided and confiscated a bunch of things including the gold watch. If this is a coincidence, it would be too coincidental."
