I'm Not a Detective

In a roadside tea shop, an old gramophone was softly playing vinyl records from the Showa era. Tamakura Sanae sat opposite Takeshi Nanabahara and Ruri Kiyomi in a serious manner, took out a small tape recorder and started recording, officially starting the interview.

The interview mainly focused on the "Bonga Murder Case" that had just been solved. Takura Sanae was very interested in the inside story of the case. This case was different from the "Oda Town Referendum Case". There was nothing that could not be said. Takeshi Nanahara said frankly, Starting from how he used his "super-sensory ability" to accurately identify criminal suspects from a list of more than 70 people, and how he saw through fakes and gave the murderer a fatal blow, he explained everything very clearly.

Moreover, his eloquence is very good, and the process of solving the case is described in ups and downs. Wu Tōyasu, Nakano Eri, Okuno Taiji, Hidakaji and others all mentioned it. Even Qingmi Ruri, the little assistant of the hidden fox, did not take away the credit and praised it. She played a crucial role in this case.

Overall, the murderer in this case is cunning, the protagonist is witty, the assistant is kind, the detective is passionate, the superior is wise, and all the elements are in place. It can be used to make a Japanese drama for at least two seasons, and maybe even win an award.

Qing Jian Liuli was shocked. She had been prepared when she came. As long as Nanabaru Wu dared to talk nonsense, even if he went back and was tortured to death, even if he dug a hole in the backyard and planted trees, she would not let him go further on the road of liar. , who blatantly deceived and fooled hundreds of thousands of people through newspapers, would definitely argue and tell the truth, but I didn’t expect that he almost told the truth.

As for the use of "super-sensory abilities" to identify the suspect at the beginning, she could reluctantly accept this. After all, he also had to eat, so it was not a big mistake. As long as it was not adapted into a supernatural fantasy story and reasoning accounted for the majority, there would be no problem - as a As a mystery lover, she absolutely cannot accept that a psychic can solve a case and must rely on reasoning.

She even suspected that she was hallucinating. She pinched her thigh secretly to make sure that she was not dreaming. For a moment, her eyes looked at Takeshi Shichihara with tenderness. She felt that after they started a new relationship yesterday, maybe he had really changed his ways. If the liar really turns around, you should make corresponding changes and treat him better in the future.

Well, as long as Takeshi Nanahara is a good person, she is also willing to be a lady, and we can all be good friends together.

After listening to this, Tamakura Sanae was filled with admiration. She felt that she had not been following the detective for so long last night, and she had not flattered the young boy in front of her in vain before. She couldn't help but said: "It's really amazing, Nanabahara." Classmate, that stupid goose detective was really right, you can indeed be called a famous high school detective."

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and nodded in thanks, and then asked with concern: "So Miss Takura, do you think this is okay?"

Tamakura Sanae nodded quickly: "That's okay. Although I am inexperienced, I can still write good reports and I will try my best to get the best page. Don't worry, Nanahara-san."

"I'm very relieved when it comes to writing. I'm just concerned about Miss Tanakura's personal career." Takeshi Nanahara said with a smile, "What I just described will not be much different from the information provided by the press officer of Hirano Police Station. At most, my role will be smaller, and the detectives will play a larger role, but the content will not be too different. So with similar content, Ms. Tanakura is confident that she can defeat those salty fish in the Hirano Criminal Press Club. Will she really get the page? ?Even if I can get it, will it be outstanding?"

Tamakura Sanae was stunned, laughed, touched her head and said sheepishly: "As expected of a detective, it turns out that I have figured out my identity."

Qing Jian Liuli was stunned and asked curiously: "What identity did you find out?"

Tamakura Sanae has an arrogant personality, so she was hired immediately after being seen through. "I'm still an intern. I'm not a formal reporter, let alone a criminal reporter. Only senior reporters can be assigned."

Qingmi Ruri still didn't understand, and Takeshi Nanahara didn't mind, and directly gave her a science introduction to the exclusivity of Japan's news gathering system, which is Japan's traditional press club system.

In Japan, press clubs generally refer to interview points set up by RB news agencies at the Prime Minister’s residence, provincial offices, local governments, local public entities, police, industry groups, etc., so that they can get first-hand news at any time and start Go to the media to supervise the media and save them from messing around with taxpayers' money.

One of the more famous ones is the Criminal Press Club on the eighth floor of Tokyo's Sakurada Gate Metropolitan Police Department. It originally only had a few rooms, but because the Metropolitan Police Department often brings out big troubles and often needs to control public opinion, it has to provide for these big guys. As a result, the Criminal Press Club on the eighth floor is getting bigger and bigger, almost squeezing the police out.

The Criminal Press Club on the eighth floor is also very well treated. It is the first-class in the Metropolitan Police Department. The copy machine in the Search Section often needs to be kicked before it can work. However, the equipment in the Press Club is brand new and only the reporters use it as second-hand goods. , it will be moved to the various police departments for use. Even the tea and coffee for daily drinking are the highest quality on the eighth floor.

There are even rumors that the toilet paper on the eighth floor of the Metropolitan Police Department is specially supplied, and its softness is higher than that on other floors, so as to prevent journalists from being unhappy when wiping their butts and writing random reports.

Tokyo is doing this, and Hirano is no exception. The police station also has a criminal press club, but the scale is much smaller. These press clubs are exclusive. If you are not qualified enough, you will not get He was appointed by the newspaper and could not even meet the press officer of the police station, so it was impossible to get first-hand information.

In a sense, this is also a "qualification monopoly" unique to Japanese society. Whoever has high qualifications and a deep background can easily obtain a large amount of resources and complete the task simply.

Therefore, senior criminal reporters do not need to come to Takeshi Nanabaru at all. They have their own police station to send special personnel to feed them. Only guys like Tamakura Sanae who are new to the industry and have no qualifications but want to get ahead will take the initiative and run away directly. Come and block people - if there is super breaking news like celebrity fights, car accidents, or a congressman's affair and murder, criminal reporters will definitely go crazy to block it, but ordinary criminal cases do not have many readers who care about them, and they are not worth it. Wait. Just rice.

Qingmi Ruri was greatly disappointed after hearing this. It turned out that she was just a trainee reporter. She had just entered the industry and her level was too low. However, Takeshi Nanahara didn't care. After giving her the science knowledge, he smiled at Tamakura Sanae and said, "It doesn't matter if you are a trainee reporter. Everyone is. As someone who has been a novice, the question now is whether Ms. Tanakura wants to join the Criminal Reporters Club."

Tamakura Sanae was stunned for a moment, touched her head and said hesitantly: "What do you mean..."

Takeshi Nanahara lowered his head and took a sip of purified water, and said softly: "Actually, Japanese reasoning is pretty bad now. Big cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nagoya, and Fukuoka have more or less famous names. Detective, one more of me is not more, one less of me is not more, even if you use a famous high school detective as a gimmick, I bet you five hundred yen, you will not be able to defeat the gang of salty fish in the Criminal Press Club, the report will only be drowned in a pile of Similar reports are in progress.”

Tanakura Sanae said thoughtfully: "So..."

Takeshi Nanahara actively suggested: "So it must be sensational and unconventional. My main business is actually psychic mediumship. Although I don't want to deceive you, and I can't deceive you, I can only tell the truth, but I think psychic mediumship A famous detective is more suitable for me. Not many people have been involved in the field of psychic mediums cleverly solving crimes. I can also learn the details of a large number of troublesome cases and know all the inside stories. In the future, it will be up to Ms. Tanakura to stay ahead of the gang of salty fish in the Criminal Reporters Club. Publish it to arouse readers' interest..."

Tamakura Sanae's expression straightened: "Okay, Nanahara-san, there is no need to say any more. You underestimate me. As a reporter, it is my obligation and responsibility to deliver true reports to readers. I will not do it for personal gain." False report!”

As she spoke, she picked up the small tape recorder, rewinded it, washed it out, and then started recording again. She whispered, "You pretended that I hadn't been here just now. Now let's discuss the case again. Before, you said that you would start from the list of seven hundred people." Zhong used his 'super-sensory ability' to instantly identify the suspect. Let's study this section in detail."

Takeshi Nanahara also straightened his face and leaned his head towards her, as if he was planning to go with her to blow up the police station. He said softly: "That is actually a kind of perception ability that is beyond ordinary people. A person's name and his own spirituality Similarly, I only looked at the list of more than 7,000 people at that time for a moment, and I felt something vague about the name Tatsuo Uchii..."

"etc!"

Qing Jian Ruri felt strange, looked at Tanakura Sanae and said in disbelief: "Miss Tanakura, you don't really believe his lies, do you? You are a reporter, even if you are just a trainee reporter, you should work hard to pursue the truth, right? You should be truthful. Report it? How could you do that?"

She had only thought that Takeshi Nanahara would be messing around and was on guard. She never expected that this trainee reporter was not a good guy. In order to get ahead, he was easily brainwashed by Takeshi Nanahara. She did not hesitate to collude with him and join forces to deceive the public. One hundred thousand readers.

Isn't this right? How can you do this?

Tamakura Sanae glanced at her and said sternly: "Shimizu-san, I am pursuing the truth now. I will truthfully present to readers everything that the famous psychic detective Nanahara-san said without adding any subjective factors. You just rest assured."

Qingjian Liuli couldn't bear it and said: "My surname is Qingjian, not Qingshui!"

"It doesn't matter what your last name is. As a reporter, I only value the truth. Please don't hinder me from interviewing insiders." Sanae Takura said with a righteous face, and immediately turned to Takeshi Nanahara and said, "Nanahara-san, please Continuing, what other skills are needed to accurately identify the suspect among a list of more than 70,000 people?"

No one cared about her. Seeing that Ruri had nothing to fart at all, and unable to stop it, Qing clenched his fists, huddled aside and began to sulk. With a hidden face, he began to listen to Takeshi Nanabahara and Sanae Kurata. The story is made up randomly and adds a lot of fantasy elements to the serious reasoning case, which is bound to give readers a hard blow and brainwash them all.

Of course, Takeshi Nanabahara acted in a measured manner. Most of the things he made up before were joking and not outrageous. He even rejected some supernatural suggestions from Sanae Tamakura. He only used his "super-sensory ability" to find the prisoner, and then relied on his super-sense with a deviation value of 74.88. With the erudition and knowledge possessed by top students, he successfully deduced the modus operandi and evidence, and did not compile it into tabloid news. He strived to create an image of a detective with both "super powers and reasoning", and did not let the Hirano Police Station get too frustrated. tower.

Moreover, he had already prepared. He took out the promotional page of "Okinoshima Four Volumes" and truthfully stated how to identify it as a fake, and asked Tamakura Sanae to write it all in the manuscript, that is, let him As many people as possible know that "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" is a fake, and be careful not to be deceived accidentally.

He emphasized many times that this was a prerequisite for them to join forces to make big news in the future. Takura Sanae agreed to this just request without hesitation. She completely sympathized with him and hated each other until it was too late. If it weren't for her poor appearance, , a little older, can definitely become a strong competitor for the heroine in Takeshi Nanabahara's novel.

The interview was a great success. Tamakura Sanae happily paid for the drinks, got on a flat-bed scooter, waved her hand, and left in a hurry. She wanted to go back immediately to work on the manuscript and try to get it published in the newspaper by tomorrow at the latest, so that "Psychic Medium Detective Takeshi Nanabahara" would shine. A dazzling appearance in front of everyone in Hirano!

It's safe, it's safe to join the Criminal Reporters Club. I'll communicate more with him, a famous psychic detective, in the future. This guy is really a wonderful person, and my future depends entirely on him!
