For the next week or so, Kiryu Dojo was more lively than usual.
For some reason, Chiyoko was persuaded by senior sister Takamizawa and agreed to let her work in the dojo to cover the rent.
Early this morning, Kazuma caught Chiyoko and asked her why she agreed to work with Takamizawa while the tenants were still awake, but Chiyoko asked her back: "Why, bro, are you unhappy? It really is because Takamizawa learned Miss is not pretty enough?"
Kazuma admitted that there was indeed a reason for this, but he would never say it out, so he replied: "Chiyoko, didn't you have money in your eyes before."
"Don't call me like Grandet!" Chiyoko twitched Kazuma's shoulders fiercely, "I don't know what you think, brother, our house originally only had the dining room and our respective bedrooms And the bathroom toilet needs me to clean.
"Amao can clean his house, ashram and yard, but now it's good, the second floor is going to be cleaned, and the bathroom and toilet on the second floor are also in use, I can't clean it!
"So is there any problem if I want a free helper? I don't need to clean the kendo props by myself in the future. Is there any problem?"
After thinking about it with the horse, it seems that there is no problem.
Just when Kazuma was about to end this conversation, Chiyoko suddenly grabbed him, looked at the corridor leading to the second floor, and made sure that the "tenant" would not hear him, then whispered: "You think that looks A very smart brother who is actually a fool *boy also brought him to our dojo, 20,000 yuan a month! It can cover Takamizawa's rent!"
Kazuma is relieved, Chiyoko has not been given ecstasy soup by Takamizawa, it is still Chiyoko.
"I'll try my best. Think about it carefully, now Gao Jianze can be regarded as our manager here, senior Huacheng should be seduced and hooked."
"Yes, that's good!"
The two brothers and sisters were plotting, and Amao opened the door of his room next to the entrance with sleepy eyes and came out. Seeing the heads of Kiryu brothers and sisters glued together, he immediately turned and wanted to go back to the room.
"Amao, wait a minute!" Chiyoko called to stop him, "I found an old kettle in the warehouse, and I'll bring it to you later. You can take it with you when you start working today. Don't suffer from heat stroke. It's getting hotter."
"Oh. Thank you." Amao nodded, and wanted to go back to the room. After thinking about it, he gave up and turned back to ask He Ma, "Master, what are you doing?"
"Conspiracy to scrape money from tenants." He Ma replied.
Amao frowned: "You can't do illegal things..."
"No, no, I want to be a policeman. Of course, I want to make money within the framework of the law."
"However, the law is only the lower limit of morality. I don't think you can demand yourself with the standard of not violating the law..." Amao said plausibly, not at all like the one who just changed his job from a bad job a year ago and could only talk. Stupid boy.
However, his words were interrupted by movement on the stairs.
Gao Jianze yawned and went downstairs. Seeing that the Tongsheng brothers and sisters and the "big brother" of the Tongsheng Dojo were standing at the door, he hurriedly changed the tone of the assistant servant: "Good morning, Tongyu..."
"Just call Kiryu-san, don't worry about it so much, senior." Waving with Ma.
Senior sister Takamizawa still bowed to Kazuma, and then said to Chiyoko, "Miss Kiryu, I'll start working right now."
Chiyoko: "I... I'm not used to it, so let's continue to call me Chiyoko."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Gao Jianze breathed a sigh of relief, "To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable when I think that I am now a servant living in my employer's house..."
Kazuma: "Don't worry about this at all, senior, you just need to do all the work that Chiyoko entrusts to you. Usually you are still senior sister Takamizawa."
"It's really helpful to be able to do this." Senior sister Gao Jianze said.
It seems that Senior Sister Takamizawa still has the arrogance of a student of Tokyo University, and Kazuma fully understands this. After all, Tokyo University is the top university in Japan, and in addition, Japan, who has entered a prestigious university, has stepped into the upper class with one foot. Gao Jianze will definitely feel uncomfortable if Gao Jianze completely follows the servant's system.
However, there is one thing to say, that is, the appearance of senior sister Takamizawa has not reached the benchmark value of Kiryu Dojo. If she arrives, Kazuma will definitely use the authority of her employer to dress her as a maid and ask her to call Gouxiu Kin Sama (Master Master) ).
The day at the Kiryu Dojo started with chatting, the women rushed to the kitchen, and Kazuma took Amao to the dojo for morning exercises.
After entering the dojo, Hema first opened the gate to the yard, letting the morning wind blow the petals of the old cherry tree into the dojo, clearing away the turbid air that had been stagnated all night.
Looking at the old cherry tree in the morning light, Kazuma suddenly sighed.
It was about this time last year, and He Ma was facing a desperate situation. Not long after, it was the first time in his life that he "killed" him. Although he didn't do it in the end, he was indeed determined to kill at that time.
Kazuma turned his head and glanced at Bizen Osafune who was placed in front of Yakushiji Hiroko's poster.
Speaking of which, Yakushi Maru Hiroko's poster has been hanging for half a year, it's time to change it...
Kazuma remembers that Bizen Osafune's writing is authentic, and he likes the new and dislikes the old.
While thinking this way, he vaguely heard the sound of the knife, but when he turned his head to look at the knife, the sound of the knife disappeared again, as if it was just an illusion of Hema.
Kazuma suddenly laughed at himself again, even if it was the first anniversary of the dismantling of the group alone, he seemed to have nothing to do but lament... Or, he could go to the door of the "old site" of the Tsuda-gumi office and burn some paper money for Masaaki Tsuda
It feels a bit too much, but Kazuma likes this way of dancing on the grave.
Kazuma was thinking about when to do this, so Amo stood beside Kazuma and chanted a haiku by Matsuo Basho.
He Ma stared at his apprentice dumbfounded.
"What's wrong?" Amao looked at Kazuma in surprise.
"You..." He Ma didn't know what to say for a while.
Amao: "Master saw the cherry blossoms just now, so he was thinking about a haiku, right? I don't have the ability to write a haiku myself, so I have to recite one."
I'm thinking about farts with Ma Xin, I'm thinking of dancing on the grave of my first mortal enemy who came to this world.
But he has already adjusted his expression: "Yes, Ah Mao. The four great pleasures in life are viewing cherry blossoms at night in spring, looking at stars in summer, enjoying the full moon in autumn, and seeing the first snow in winter. Although this is not cherry blossoms at night, viewing cherry blossoms will naturally inspire you. Out of poetry."
Ah Mao said: "Then... how about arranging a nighttime cherry blossom viewing party tonight? I happen to have no part-time job tonight, so I can be in charge of the venue arrangement."
After thinking about it with Ma, I thought it was a good idea.
"Master, you can also invite friends from the school to come over and exchange feelings. I heard from Senior Huacheng that this kind of social interaction at university is of great benefit to entering society later." A Mao continued.
He Ma nodded: "Yes, the alumni association is very important when you come to work in the future. However, Ah Mao, Senior Huacheng is a little too...too cowardly in some respects, you can't learn from him."
"Does it mean love?" Amao asked directly.
"It's not just about love, cowardly people are cowardly in every way."
Amao: "Don't worry, Master, I will take great strides forward and march forward bravely just like Master."
Kazuma nodded, and changed the topic: "Invite the seniors from the school to enjoy the cherry blossoms, it seems possible. Not only can you invite the seniors, but you can also invite the Anno gang."
In fact, Kazuma has always wanted to go to Anno's company to see the situation. After all, in this era, there are no such convenient things as mobile phones and the Internet, and the phone bills are so expensive that it is inconvenient to make calls. We still have to meet to talk about things.
He wanted to see what happened to the story of the sword hero who replaced Wang Li's cosmic army, and whether he could copy the BGM of No Emperor's Blade Tan. If the story was particularly punk, it would be better to copy "Afro Samurai" or "Chowder". The BGM of "Samurai" is better.
To put it bluntly, Kazuma is very interested in being able to participate in the creation of Japanese animation milestones, and he has already agreed to compose music, so Kazuma’s idea is to copy it one last time before bidding farewell to Wenchao’s life. Have fun copying.
After completing a great work, closing the pen in a grand manner, this is particularly artistic, and the style is so high that it explodes, maybe you can get a new BUFF.
After making up his mind with Ma, he said to Amao: "Then let's do it tonight. Although I don't know how many people we can meet, it doesn't matter. Even if no one comes, there are enough people on our side to be lively. .”
Compared with the time when Ma Gang crossed, the Kiryu dojo now has a thriving population. Just the "insiders" of the dojo can hold a lively cherry blossom viewing party.
As soon as I finished talking with Ma, I saw the little broken bread from the Jinshan group, bouncing to the gate of the Tongsheng Dojo.
He Ma frowned, signaled to Amao that he didn't care, and then walked towards the courtyard wall.
Jin Shanping got out of the car and stood by the courtyard wall, apparently not planning to go into the house to talk.
So He Ma came to him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't you get involved in a case of hiding a corpse in a refrigerator last week?"
He Ma nodded: "Yes, you are very well informed, what did Police White Bird say?"
"I have a lot of information channels. Now I want to tell you, this matter... is a bit strange."
"Why did you tell me? I'm just the first person to find the first body, and the police haven't been looking for me for the past two weeks..."
The case that He Ma was involved in has now turned into a serial murder case. Along with the body that He Ma found, three people have died. The police arrested several people, but a new victim appeared just after the arrest. Leading to the acquittal of those arrested.
Now the current news section of the newspaper is full of discussions about this case, and even the entertainment section has a lot of related reports, because the deceased is the lead singer of an underground band.
As a person with a little relationship with Ma, as well as a future criminal policeman, he has naturally been paying attention to the progress of the case, but he only read the reports in the newspaper and did not delve into it too deeply.
Now Jinshan Pingtai came to him specifically, which means that Jinshan Pingtai might think that the subsequent development of this matter will have something to do with Kazuma.
This made He Ma very curious.
Kazuma suddenly remembered the last "boss-level enemy" he killed in Osaka. The entry should be mountain ghost, which is a kind of mountain monster in Japan, which is a bit similar to trolls in western fantasy.
He Ma Xin wondered if Jinshan Pingtai had some unique news, so he came to ask Lao Tzu to kill demons and eliminate demons
Jin Shanping looked at He Ma, lit a cigarette unhurriedly, took a puff and said: "The Metropolitan Police Department has set up a search headquarters, but so far nothing has been found, and there is no clue. Detective Shiratori When I told it, it was described like this: It’s like those girls walked into the refrigerator by themselves.”
He Ma recalled the first corpse he found: "No, the first corpse had signs of binding and strangle marks..."
"Yes, but according to the forensic medical examination, all three victims have been frozen to death." Pingtai Jinshan took another puff of cigarette, and then asked He Ma, "Is it very similar to the unfolding of a detective novel?"
"It's too much of a detective story, so you're here to hire a half-assed kendo dojo teacher to investigate this case?" He Ma asked back.
"I thought you might be interested."
"I'm interested, but only to the level of detective novels. I don't want to take the initiative to get involved. My peaceful university life here is very happy, and I don't want to add any more excitement." He Ma said.
But when he said this, he suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt, and a voice in his heart said to him: No, no, this is not what you really think.
He Ma immediately understood what was going on.
After all, Kiryu and Marc are the owners of the Horatius entry, the guardians of civilians and the innocent, and behind him are the lights of thousands of families in Rome.
The entry is a highly concentrated embodiment of the soul. The moment he brings this entry, Hema is destined to be impossible to sit idly by.
He cannot allow shameless villains to do evil.
Talk to the horse.
Jin Shanping laughed too much: "You are exactly what I thought, a great hero."
"Tell me, Jinshan," Hema looked at Jidao outside the wall, "I will deal with this matter, what benefits can you get?"
"I need you to help me deal with a small problem. Recently, a new type of hallucinogen has become popular in my territory. We squatted for a long time without finding the seller."
He Ma sneered: "You want me to help you complete black and white? There is no way, I hate the bastard the most."
"No, no, our group does not sell narcotics, because Taro Kazama, the leader of the immediate organization at the top of our group, believes that the future of Yakuza lies in laundering. Legitimate industries such as the entertainment industry and even the entertainment industry will become the highlight of the future, with low risks and high returns."
When Kazuma heard this, he felt that Taro Kazama was a bit powerful, and he actually saw the skyrocketing price of land in Tokyo in the next ten years.
When Tokyo’s land prices were the most exaggerated, there was a famous saying: Sell Tokyo, and you can buy the entire United States.
In this sense, the rate of return on real estate speculation is indeed similar to that of drug trafficking.
The key is legal.
Jinshan Pingta continued: "So our group and the Kazama group above have given up the anesthetic business. Because of this, neither the Koreans nor the Fushou Gang now regard us as targets. The other groups are all the same. The vice president and these two newcomers are in an unstoppable posture, and we are being pointed at the spine by other people from the Kanto United all day long."
And the horse just shrugged.
Jinshan added: "However, we are sure that this new type of anesthetic is not Korean, nor is it being sold by the Fushou Gang. It is even... not like the anesthetic we are familiar with."
Kazuma noticed the word "familiarity". It seems that the Jinshan Group is no longer selling because of Taro Kazama's strategy. It was sold before.
He Ma silently recorded Jinshan, if you sell it, you will die, and when I become a policeman, I will pay for your crimes, Jinshan, obediently become my merit.
He Ma decided to continue the routine: "It's not like an anesthetic? How do you say it?"
"From the appearance, it is almost impossible to tell that he is an addict. It feels similar to a social animal who has been working overtime for half a year. Apart from the lack of energy, there are basically no other characteristics.
"Of course, if you don't eat and sleep well because of your lack of energy, your body will definitely get worse, but it's still much better than a real addict."
He Ma: "Anyway, damn selling this thing. I'll uproot them if I get the chance."
Jinshan Pingtai curled his lips: "That's great, I hope you can keep this momentum. In short, we don't want the Koreans or the Fushou Gang to think that we are still selling. We have to get rid of this and that on our site as soon as possible. organization, at least get them out."
Hema nodded noncommittally, and then asked, "I understand your appeal, now let me tell you about this serial murder case."
"Almost all the victims have used the new hallucinogens I just mentioned."
He Ma frowned: "We found residual components in the body? So what is that?"
"No, no remnants were found, just testimonies that they used it. Also, all the witnesses said that their musical skills had improved dramatically in a short period of time.
"'It seems to have suddenly been favored by the god of music'." Jinshan Heita took another puff of cigarette as he spoke, and exhaled a slowly rising smoke ring.
He Ma was stunned: "It sounds like those witnesses are not less drunk."
"I don't know. Anyway, that's all the information I got from Shiratori Akira. I exchanged the anesthetic information for him."
He Ma continued to ask: "Is there any other information?"
Jinshan Pingta took out a kraft paper envelope from his coat, and stuffed it to Kazuma: "It's all in there. What I just told you is what's not written in it."
"Have you ever used that kind of hallucinogen? It's not listed here?" He Ma asked in surprise.
"Yes, because the Metropolitan Police Department believes that this drug does not exist. After all, they did not detect any residue on the corpse, and the autopsy showed that the deceased was only malnourished and overworked before death." Jin Shanping paused, "So , you understand why Shiratori Akira is also starting to expect 'outsiders' to play a role."
He Ma instantly understood.
The white bird detective is also looking forward to his Kiryu and Ma being able to solve this incident.
After all, Kiryu and Ma had already solved such a difficult incident in Osaka.
Kazuma silently clamped the thick kraft paper envelope under his arm, then glanced at Jinshan Pingta, and said, "I'm going to bloom cherry blossoms tonight... Forget it, pretend I didn't say it."
"The future police chief, shouldn't invite a jidao to participate in the cherry blossom viewing party at his house." Jinshan Heita teased, "I'm waiting for the day when you arrest me to receive the reward, before that , I will try my best to climb to a higher place. By the way, when that time comes, I will try my best to resist, this time I will not be defeated so easily."
Hema glanced at Jinshan Pingta, but didn't speak.
Jinshan Pingta threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground, stomped it out, turned around and got into the van.
Ruozhong in the driver's seat immediately started the car and left quickly.
He Mamu sent the van to disappear at the end of the road, turned around and walked towards the ashram with a kraft paper envelope in between.
I don't know if it's a psychological factor, but the kraft paper envelope feels heavy, as if there are weights inside.
Entering the dojo, Kazuma saw Amao hiding by the door of the dojo, holding Murasame and Bizen Osafune in his hands, and he looked like he was ready to rush out to give Kazuma a sword at any time.
"Uh, sorry, Master, I took the knife off without permission..."
"Don't worry about it, just put it back. You did the right thing, then Jinshan Pingtai is not a good person, so you have to guard against it." He Ma responded.
Ah Mao bowed to Kazuma, and immediately trotted to put the knife.
He Ma looked at the entry "Legal Knight" on Amao's head, and suddenly blamed himself.
I almost forgot my creed, ignored the evil that was happening, and settled down in a corner.
Although this country is Japan, civilians are civilians, innocents are innocents, and true heroes save lives regardless of their nationality.
Moreover, Kazuma continued to think, the cases this time basically happened along the Kanda River, even if it was to protect the cute little senior sister Kanaka Miu, Kazuma should go and find out the truth.
After making up his mind, Kazuma's expression became resolute, like a general about to go to the battlefield.
At this time, Ah Mao, who came back after putting down the knife, asked: "Master, will the cherry blossom viewing party be held tonight?"
Hema glanced at A Mao, and said: "Yes, of course, I still have time to take a good look at the contents of this envelope. The criminal police must have turned the area around Kanda River upside down by now. Compared with the anxious Going around Kanda River, what I have to do is to think more and look for things that the police missed."
Holding a cherry blossom viewing conference is obviously helpful to activate thinking—Hema thinks this way. When he was studying in his previous life, he encountered a problem and couldn’t solve it, so he liked to do other things, and then the inspiration for solving the problem suddenly came to him. coming.
It's a pity that this trick can't be used during the college entrance examination, after all, the exam time is limited.

Not far from Kiryu Dojo, in the "operational base" rented by Takashi Hanabou.
Hanaba Takashi patted his partner on the shoulder: "Don't rush to wash the film just now. No, only we know that this film exists. I feel that this is a big event worth following for a long time. We can grab a super awesome exclusive !"
"Are you sure?" His partner, photographer Daisuke Wakamiya frowned, "I can't even think of what this Yakuza gave Kiryu."
"I can't think of it either. But, you contact the hottest news right now. Kiryu and Marco are the 'key men' who solved the Osaka incident. Isn't it strange that the Metropolitan Police Department invited him out of the mountain?" Takashi Hanabou looked excited expression.
"There are also many strange things about the Osaka incident, but no matter how you interview, all parties are tight-lipped. There must be some secrets hidden in it. Maybe the Osaka incident has something to do with this incident..."
Daisuke Wakamiya looked at Hanaba Takashi who got excited and began to circle around the house, and reminded: "Well, the two of us are entertainment reporters and paparazzi."
"Who said that entertainment reporters can't report current affairs news? I'm not afraid to tell you that my ambition was to be an investigative reporter. For this reason, I went to a super awesome university. As a result, the first boss in my life took my investigative reporter Careers are ruined."
The so-called investigative reporters are those who dig deep into social news, directly attack social problems, and only do in-depth reports.
These reporters can be said to be the face of the reporter industry, and many of them really deserve the title of uncrowned king.
However, since the 1990s, the reputation of investigative journalists has gradually deteriorated, and many investigative journalists have been exposed to falsify news.
But now, in 1981, investigative journalists are still the uncrowned kings.
Takashi Hanabou complained indignantly, as if the soul of an investigative reporter that had long been extinguished was burning again.
Daisuke Wakamiya was speechless, and said to his old partner: "Sure enough, men are still teenagers until they die."
Takashi Hanabou turned his head to look at the photographer: "Why not, are you in the team?"
Daisuke Wakamiya: "Of course I did, I'm actually a little tired of looking for female celebrities all day long."
"Then let's talk to an awesome hot spot." Takashi Hanabou raised his hands in a high-five gesture.
Daisuke Wakamiya put down the camera, and patted his old partner's palm heavily.

In the same morning, Xing Jishang quietly threw away the person Qi Chengzai sent to monitor him, came to Ueno Park, found a chair to sit down, put on headphones, and listened to music while admiring the cherry blossoms.
Soon, an old man sat next to Xing Jishang with a newspaper, and began to read the newspaper with his head down.
There are many people in Ueno Park during the cherry blossom season, and it is very common for two strangers to share a bench like this.
Xing Jishang took off one earphone, and did not look at the old man, but his ears were pricked up, and he would not let go of any words of the old man.
"Ueno Station, cabinet 601, 4513."
said the old man.
This is the cabinet number and unlocking code of the public locker at Ueno Station. Use this code to open the mechanical combination lock on the cabinet door.
At this time, Japan already had this kind of facilities that began to appear in libraries and other places in China almost twenty years later.
But when China started to use more advanced public lockers, Japan is still using these antiques.
Xing Jishang got the cabinet number and password, and immediately stood up and left, as if he suddenly remembered something urgent to do.
The old man never looked up at him.
About thirty minutes later, Xing Jishang opened the door of locker No. 601 at Ueno Subway Station.
There is a book inside.
Xing Jishang took out the book, and as soon as he opened it, he saw the library card inside the book, with his name, address and photo on it.
Then Xing Jishang looked at the two pages of books with the library card sandwiched between them.
There are many reading notes on the two pages of the book, and some words and sentences are drawn. It seems that a person who reads very carefully has read this book.
However, Xing Jishang immediately found a few words circled in pencil in a pile of reading notes, and wrote a small serial number in pencil next to each word.
It seems to be a series of unrelated words, but Xing Jishang knows that this is the "activation key".
The KGB have been working on things like superpowers, psychic powers since the 50s, and this is what they came up with.
Find the owner of this library card, read the words circled in pencil in the book according to the serial number marked by pencil in his ear, and the "cognitive paradigm" set in the subconscious will be activated.
At that time, this ordinary Japanese will become a latent fighter of the KGB.
Xing Jishang is very interested in the principle of this thing, but KGB has not disclosed any relevant information to him until now.
The United States should also be conducting corresponding research.
After all, in the last war, both the Allied forces and the Axis powers produced so-called "super soldiers beyond common sense".
For example, a British guy who fought the entire war with a Scottish longsword and once wiped out an elite German army with a single soldier.
Therefore, the five major countries that have experienced the war all want to reproduce and mass-produce this kind of super fighter.
Xing Jishang felt that the Soviet Union may have achieved decisive results, so they dared to openly invade Afghanistan, a place known as the graveyard of empires.
Maybe it won't be long before super Soviet soldiers will cross the Berlin Wall and sweep across Europe.
Xing Jishang stuffed the book into his coat pocket, and decided to go and see what the super soldier looked like when he was lurking, so that after activating him, he might be able to peek at the secrets held by the Soviets through comparison.
Xing Jishang strode towards the subway platform.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that talking about Kiryu and Ma felt like a super soldier.
Could it be that super soldiers can be trained through traditional martial arts
No, could it be said that traditional martial arts is what the ancients developed over thousands of years after they discovered the possibility of cultivating super fighters
While thinking about this problem, Xing Jishang followed the flow of people and got into the subway train in the morning rush hour.
