I teach kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma stared at Yoshikawa Yasufumi, waiting for him to continue.

Yasufumi Yoshikawa thought for a while and began to tell: "Miwako and I have been in love for more than ten years. We are childhood sweethearts."

Asano: "There are several childhood sweethearts in the police department."

Kazuma stepped on Asano's foot under the table to shut him up.

What if you make someone unhappy and stop talking?

Yasufumi Yoshikawa: "We've only been high school classmates for three years, so we can't be considered childhood sweethearts. Miwako and I have known each other since elementary school, and we live in the same apartment."

Kazuma: "Apartment."

"The kind of low-cost apartments built after the war, not the kind of high-end apartments with automatic glass doors downstairs. Our building is only five floors. I live on the fourth floor, and she lives on the fifth floor. We are just upstairs and downstairs. We have our own rooms. It was even the same room, and a rope hung from her window to my window. We often wrote to each other that way."

Asano: "It's quite romantic."

Kazuma nodded.

Speaking of two people going up and down the stairs and communicating with each other using a rope, Kazuma remembered a children's movie he watched when he was a child called "Harley", but in it there were two boys passing notes to each other in this way. What.

I remember at the end of the movie, one of the boys’ father was a scientist, and he was inspired by the device they built on the window to solve a major technological problem.

I watched this movie and Ma when I was a kid and it left a very deep impression on me. I have always wanted to watch it again, but I couldn’t find it no matter how I searched. All the ads on the 100-degree search engine page were Harley motorcycle ads.

While Kazuma recalled, Yasufumi Yoshikawa continued: "We confirmed our feelings for each other when we were in high school. At that time, I was obsessed with the karate national competition. At that time, there was a guy named Mouri from another high school in our county who was very good. In order to defeat him, I trained every day. so late.

"Miwako waited for me to finish training every day. I joked with her: You look like my girlfriend. Then Miwako asked me if I really wanted to give it a try."

Kazuma wanted to whistle and make noise, but he gave up when he thought that Miwako was already his ex-girlfriend.

Yoshikawa Yasufumi continued: "That's how we started dating. At this time, I hated that we were going up and downstairs. If it were the next door room, the two of us could just lie down across the balcony partition and chat as if we were cuddling together. "

Kazuma: "If you're bolder, you can put your head through the partition and kiss."

"Yeah, that's what I thought at the time. It's a pity that we had to go up and down the stairs, and even if we whispered to each other, we had to use a rope to deliver letters. But it was still very happy, and the three years of high school passed in one go. Then Miwako went to junior high school. I entered the police college. We were going to get married after I graduated from the police college.”

Yoshikawa Yasumi paused, then gritted his teeth and continued: "But ten years of love, more than ten years of acquaintance, finally ended because I didn't save her in time! I was participating in the investigation of a murder case, and a family of four His death was very tragic, and I am eager to bring the murderer to justice. Is this wrong?"

Kazuma: "Tell me in detail how she broke up with you."

Yoshikawa Yasufumi frowned and smoked, took several puffs before putting out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said reluctantly: "It was raining that day, Miwako had a cold face, and she looked at me as if she were looking at a stranger. She told me, 'In fact, recently I have gradually felt that I don't love you as much as before', 'You can't be more different, after all, you didn't realize I was gone until I was missing for two days.'"

Kazuma: "You don't actually need to imitate her tone at that time, especially you don't need to imitate the high-pitched female voice."

Yoshikawa Yasufumi remained silent. Kazuma thought his interruption had angered him, and Asano was also pinching Kazuma's thighs under the table.

But Yasufumi Yoshikawa spoke again: "My mind went blank at the time. It took me a few seconds to remember that I should explain what delayed me, but Miwako said: 'Look, you don't even bother to defend yourself. Let's just do this. Bar.'

"Am I too lazy to defend? I haven't reacted yet! After all, I never thought about Miwako breaking up with me! In my imagination, there will always be Miwako in the future. I never thought about it. Live another future!

"This future suddenly fell apart and disappeared. I have to take time to accept it, coach!"

Kazuma: "Yes, you have to have time to accept it. The coach thinks you are right."

Yoshikawa Yasufumi sighed: "After Miwako said this, she turned around and left, as determined as if the decades we spent together had disappeared."

Kazuma: "More than ten years. You are not even thirty this year, and your life is not that long yet."

After all, you can't be called a person until three.

Yasufumi Yoshikawa frowned, took out another cigarette and held it in his mouth. However, when he saw the cigarette butt he had just put out in the ashtray on the table, he remembered that he had already smoked one in front of non-smoking guests, and it would not be easy to continue smoking. Okay, so I took out the cigarette and held it in my hand.

"I seriously doubt what Hyuga Company did to Miwako! Before she was captured by Hyuga Company, she and I were very sweet, and Miwako especially supported me in punishing criminals and called me her hero all day long.

"But in court, the judge thought that my statement was in contempt of the court's intelligence because I was too emotional. He kicked me out of the court and only asked my lawyer to continue the trial."

Kazuma: "Can you still kick the plaintiff out of the court?"

Yoshikawa: "That's it! I'm not a witness, I'm the plaintiff! That's when I learned that Japanese law stipulates that the trial can continue as long as the attorney is present.

"Anyway, I had nothing to do with Hyuga Company in the end, and because I only thought about prosecuting these bastards all day long and had no intention of working, I was caught by the Takata Police Department and the others and sent here."

Yoshikawa glanced at his office. Everyone who works here must wear police uniforms. It looks completely different from places like the First Search Division.

"When I first came here," Yasufumi Yoshikawa continued, "because I was wearing a trench coat instead of a police uniform, I was deducted a month's bonus. It was called to help me adapt to the differences between criminal police and general office work."

Kazuma: "Are you sure it wasn't Takata and the others who said hello on purpose to get someone to tease you?"

Yoshikawa: "I don't know, but I did not wear a police uniform that day, so my money should be deducted. I've finished my business, it's your turn, the police department, what's the problem between you and Hinata Company?"

Kazuma told him everything about Hinami.

Yasufumi Yoshikawa slapped the table: "It's exactly the same as me back then! At that time, they also said it was an invitation. I originally thought Miwako should disagree, but she actually said it was an invitation and said that her personal freedom was not restricted!

"The most ridiculous thing is that their legal team also asked a convenience store clerk to testify that Miwako went to a convenience store during the period when her personal freedom was restricted!"

Kazuma: "I'm afraid this convenience store clerk is a real convenience store clerk. They will not really restrict personal freedom and will not give people the opportunity to be illegally detained."

Yoshikawa frowned: "You mean, Miwako has really been to a convenience store?"

"yes."

"Did I really blame them wrongly?"

"No, I don't think you wrongly blamed them. There must be something wrong with Hinata Company. Even the law firm they hired thinks their business is weird."

Asano: "How do you know this, police department?"

"The lawyers in the law firm they hired are all my senior brothers. We happened to meet them at the police station yesterday and we had a meal."

Asano: "Ah, I forgot that the police department also prepared you as a legal wolf."

Yoshikawa Yasufumi glared at Kazuma: "You actually had dinner with those guys? Do you know how much those guys deserved a beating in court?"

Kazuma: "This may be their strategy. Although professors at Tokyo University do not support debates in court with the purpose of irritating witnesses or the other party, the professors in the trial class have introduced these trial strategies in detail and cited many famous examples. example of."

In Kazuma's view, with an emotional plaintiff like Yoshikawa, he would not be called a legal jackal if he did not take advantage of this.

Yoshikawa Yasufumi: "I knew you lawyers were not good people."

"Let me explain first that I don't have a lawyer's license. When they took the license test, I was taking the A-level civil service exam."

Yoshikawa: "Forget it, have your senior brothers told you how to bring down Hyuga Company?"

Kazuma: "No, on the contrary, they told me that Hyuga Company's legal preparations are perfect and it is almost impossible to catch evidence of their crimes."

"What should we do?"

Kazuma spread his hands: "There is no perfect crime in this world, they must have flaws."

Yasufumi Yoshikawa looked serious: "As I said just now, I'm actually not sure. Miwako and I also had a quarrel, and it's not like we didn't feel alienated. So maybe Hinata Company is just an opportunity for Miwako to take over The dissatisfaction accumulated in the past burst out.

"When I was in junior high school, Miwako suddenly went on a trip alone without telling me, and went to the Karutsu Strait to see the winter scenery."

Kazuma hummed: "The night train from Ueno..."

"Yes, she told me later that she suddenly wanted to experience the artistic conception of this song, and also, 'Try to see if I can go to a distant place by myself.' When she said this, I looked at her and suddenly felt She is far away from me."

Kazuma: "A sense of alienation...?"

"Yes. So when I reflect on it, I always feel that Miwako's departure was not completely without warning. Although most of the brain cells in my brain still feel that it was those bastards from Hyuga Company who took away Miwako, but..."

Kazuma: "I'm afraid they just took advantage of the clues that existed in Miwako's mind and expanded it. The representative director of Hyuga Company is an expert in psychology. Although three days is a bit short compared to ordinary psychological treatment courses, But it’s not impossible.”

Yoshikawa Yasufumi slapped the table: "Is it really a good thing they did!"

"I'm afraid they also gave you some guidance. After the incident, did you ever meet the director of Hyuga Company, Masaaki Kosa, alone?"

Yasufumi Yoshikawa thought about it, and his expression suddenly brightened: "It's true! After the court announced the verdict, I waited for them to come out at the door of the court, ready to beat them up. Unexpectedly, the guy handed me a business card, which belonged to his college classmate. Psychological Clinic.

"I thought it was his taunt, so I beat him without saying a word. This was one of the reasons why I was demoted. I was the national karate champion, and I left him with half a life.

"During the period of suspension and reflection, I wanted to see what kind of medicines were sold in this gourd, so I went. It turned out that the psychiatrist was very powerful. When I went there, I was full of hostility towards him, but after two hours, I actually felt from the bottom of my heart. I thanked him and felt that he was different from that bastard from Hinata Company.

"When I came out of the clinic, I met Masaaki Kosa. He asked if he wanted to go have a drink, and I agreed by some strange coincidence."

Kazuma was speechless: "I'm afraid it's at this time that you begin to suspect that Miwako's leaving you has nothing to do with Hinata Company. These guys are very powerful."

Yoshikawa Yasufumi frowned: "Is that so? Psychology is so powerful that it only takes a two-hour interview and a chance to drink to distort my mind?"

"No, it's not a distortion, it's a guide to increase the original thoughts in your heart. The process of psychological diagnosis and treatment is considered to be a process in which the patient recognizes himself and completes himself."

Kazuma is also following the script. He has not actually received psychotherapy, nor has he treated anyone else. He just studied psychology out of interest in college in his previous life.

Asano sighed dutifully at the side: "As expected of a Tokyo University student, he knows so much."

"Yes, we Dong students have such a wide range of knowledge and know a little bit about everything."

Yoshikawa: "So Miwako originally wanted to leave me. Sure enough, I wrongly blamed Hinata..."

Kazuma was shocked, why did this man go around here by himself.

"That's not right." Kazuma quickly interrupted him, "Miwako once tried to go far away by herself, but in the end she came back to you, which shows that after comparison, she felt that it was better to have you. If she really feels that she is better alone Relaxed, she probably should have packed up and left by then.

"Human beings are very complex, and a person often has many thoughts and distractions at the same time. For example, a person who behaves like a gentleman may have thought about ravaging women at will, and may have a strong taste, but he did not execute it, and he is still a gentleman. "

Yoshikawa: "That's just because he doesn't have the courage to execute it, right?"

"No, even in a lawless era, a gentleman can suppress his inner dirty thoughts and impulses. His self-regulation allows him to maintain the behavior of a gentleman. This is human beings, complex human beings.

"The same goes for Ms. Miwako. She may have been tired, felt alienated, and wanted to leave you and go far away. But in the end she chose to love you and spend the rest of her life with you. This was her choice, and I think since this has been done A choice made after trying it out and thinking carefully should not be easily changed.

"It was Hinata Company that did something to Miwako and changed her mind."

Kazuma stopped, looked straight at Yoshikawa, and pondered for a moment before continuing: "I will never allow them to continue to get away with it like this - although there may not be appropriate laws to punish them now."
