Kazuma got off the bulletproof car of Nanjo's house and looked at the lush old cherry trees over the fence of his house.
It always feels like the last time I got home from the hospital was yesterday.
Chiyoko opened the door and came out, still wearing her school uniform, obviously just out of school.
"Come back, yesterday someone left Qingliuliu's luggage in front of our house and left. I have already taken all of them to Qingliuliu's room on the second floor! I even decorated the room well! "
Saying that, Chiyoko walked out of the entrance, stood in front of the house and looked up at the second floor, pointed to one of the windows and said, "Look! I changed the curtains to ones with white clouds and birds. Qingliu likes flying the most, right? "
Hema looked up at the curtains, and muttered, "The original plaid curtains are pretty good too. The new curtains are not cheap...the money..."
Chiyoko stepped on Kazuma's toe and told him to shut up.
She took Qingliu's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the new room! I cleaned it very carefully yesterday, and even brought Yuzao over to check, there is absolutely no dust at all!"
Qingliu glanced at Kazuma, and was dragged away by Chiyoko with a helpless expression.
Mikako: "Okay! Let's continue with the banquet tonight! The celebration of returning home is indeed a banquet!"
He Ma: "No, the useless charcoal saved in winter has been burned up last time, and there is no charcoal to use..."
"Hey, a banquet doesn't necessarily have to be a barbecue, there's food and wine—I mean, just juice!"
Kazuma suddenly had a premonition that Mikako would become an alcoholic when she was old enough to drink.
He reminded Mikako: "Our family only has simple food, unless you plan to eat bird's nest and other supplements for the whole banquet."
"Don't worry about this!" Huashan Zhao came out from the entrance, "Mr. Kiryu, I have already prepared it! I will send it over soon!"
Damn, you really are there, are you a banquet tool person
"Mr. Huashan, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but every time I eat you for nothing..."
"Mr. Tongyu, I told my dad. My dad said that it is a good thing to be able to make friends with a young hero like Mr. Tongyu, and he will fully support me!" Huashan Jun patted his chest, "So leave it to me, in the future Banquet! I spend money like water, if I don’t hold a banquet for Mr. Kiryu, I will spend it elsewhere.”
At this moment with Ma, I especially want to beat him up.
On behalf of the proletariat hang him on the street lamp.
Forget it, I have been taken advantage of, and I will not eat for nothing.
He Ma waved his hand: "Okay, let's start the banquet."
Mikako: "Yes!"
Amao came here on a bicycle at this time, probably just returned from part-time work.
"Master, the car of the white bird detective seems to be not far behind me, and it should be arriving soon."
Hema Wenyan stretched his head to look behind Amao, and sure enough, he saw the plain car of the white bird criminal policeman turn the corner in the distance and drive this way.
Honami murmured next to Kazuma's ear: "Detective Shiratori is here at this time, is there something else going on?"
"No, it might be sending the knife back." He Ma replied, smelling the faint fragrance of white plums when he tilted his head.
Ah Mao was about to say something, when he saw Suzuki butler open the trunk of the car, he hurriedly said, "I'll move these supplements."
He parked his bicycle next to the entrance and locked it, then took the box of supplements from the butler Suzuki, and went into the house.
Detective Shiratori's car stopped in front of everyone, and Detective Shiratori opened the door and came down, nodding to Kazuma: "It seems that he is recovering well."
"I would like to borrow your good words."
While the two of them were talking, the Takayama detective opened the door of the back seat and took out the three knives bundled together.
"All of them have been maintained by a professional knife maker." Akira Shiratori glanced at the three knives, "I sent them all together, and you can handle the rest by yourself."
As soon as the words were finished, Baifeng Qingliu ran out of the entrance wearing new slippers, took out her Duanshi Qingyu from the three knives and hugged her in her arms.
He Ma laughed: "What's the hurry, no one snatched your knife."
Baifeng Qingliu glanced at Kazuma: "Aren't you going to snatch it? Obviously you snatched the favorite knife of your best friend Jin Ma Jianyi before."
"I'm holding it, but I can't hear the sound of the sword." He Ma shrugged, "So there's nothing I can do. Also, Mr. Jin Ma gave it to me, and I didn't snatch it."
While talking to the horse, Honami took the knife room handed over by the housekeeper Suzuki, and stepped forward to stand in front of Baifeng Qingliu: "I personally picked this knife room. The pattern is hydrangea and birds. I hope you like it."
Qingliu glanced at the knife room and swallowed: "Now I have no money..."
"This is a gift, a gift of recovery." Honami said as she pulled the knife out of Qingliu's arms, put it into the knife room, tied the opening of the knife room with a fancy knot, and then returned it to Qingliu.
Qingliu watched Honami doing all this, as if she wasn't worried about Honami taking the knife away at all.
Kazuma recalled the way Qingliu hurried over to snatch the knife into her arms just now, thinking that I am so untrustworthy
Holding the knife in the beautiful knife room, Qingliu glanced at Kazuma: "Can I... can I put the knife in my room?"
"Of course." Hema said with a smile, "At home... there should be a spare knife holder in the dojo, just ask Chiyoko to give you one. Remember to hang a picture behind the knife..."
Before Kazuma finished talking, Honami took the scroll from Butler Suzuki and unfolded it in front of Qingliu: "This is a picture of flying birds hitting the waves that I asked a famous painter to draw. It must be very suitable for you."
Qingliu looked at the picture, then at Hema, seeing Hema nodded, and then carefully accepted the picture.
It looks like Seiryuu has been knocked out by Honami's silver bullet attack! Is this the future female politician!
"Then... I'll go and put the knife away." After saying that, Qingliu bowed to Honami, and ran away with the painting and knife in her arms.
She called Chiyoko's voice from the entrance: "Xiaoqian, tell Ma that I can ask you for a knife holder..."
Scratching his head with Ma, he looked at Honami: "Well, I just recovered, is there..."
Honami patted his shoulder lightly, smiled and walked into the house.
"Don't just pat me on the shoulder, where is my recovery gift?" He Ma shouted cheekily, "I also want a new knife room and a new hanging painting..."
Just as he was talking, Gao Shan came up and stuffed two knives into the horse's arms: "What else do you want, be content."
He Ma was about to say something, Gao Shan Detective turned around and left, Shiratori Detective looked at He Ma: "If you are greedy, you will be punished."
He Ma: "Can the Riddler get out of Gotham City?"
"The Riddler?" Shiratori raised his eyebrows, "I know Gotham City, my youngest son likes Batman. Forget it doesn't matter. I'm here to tell you that this incident is basically over, serial suicide The case and the Kandagawa Police Station bombing case have been closed, and the search headquarters has also been disbanded. In addition, it seems that the Fushou Gang and the Zhenquan Association have reached a truce, and the Minato area has calmed down."
He Ma: "Is it really over?"
"I know what you mean. Aramaki will probably continue to chase after Fufu Technology, but obviously Fufu Technology has already taken care of most of the upper-level departments. Aramaki can't make any waves by himself for the time being."
Shiratori Akira changed the subject: "Summer is coming, enjoy your ordinary life and stop thinking about those things. You have done enough for Tokyo. You have so many perfect girls, you should do something in summer." What a great job."
Kazuma looked back, he thought it was Mikako who was beside him, but then he found that it was Jinguji Tamamo who did not know when, and in the yard behind Tamamo, Mikako could be vaguely heard bluffing.
He and Yuzao looked at each other, then nodded to Shiratori: "Understood, I just happen to have family matters to worry about."
"Is it about sending Baifeng to the music high school? It's really impossible to let the Nanjo Foundation fund a wave. This kind of foundation likes to support some artists." The white bird detective shrugged and opened the car door again.
He Ma stopped him: "Do you have anything else to do? Why don't you stay and have fun?"
Shiratori and Gao Shan looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and closed the car door: "Alright. If you invite me personally, I still have to give you some face."
and the horse laughed.
Yuzao: "I think we can invite Hanabang Takashi and Jinshan Sangdu. They also contributed to this incident, so they should be invited to a banquet."
He nodded with the horse.
Yuzao: "Then I'll call."
Kazuma: "Everyone from the Kendo Club and Sister Ganzhong are invited too?"
"Do you think it's appropriate to involve ordinary people in such a banquet?" Tamamo asked, "Although Huashan Jun is also an ordinary person involved, he has been guarding the dojo when Chiyoko and Amo go to school these days. You are no longer considered an outsider."
After thinking about it with Ma, he agreed with Tamamo.
Tamamo smiled and went into the room to make a phone call.
Detective Shiratori walked up to Hema and patted Hema on the shoulder: "You have worked hard too, neither of these two are fuel-efficient lamps."
He Ma wanted to ask "which two", but after thinking about it, he felt that this question was too self-deceiving.
At this time, Mikako's voice came from the yard: "Qing Liu Liu, have you put away your knife? Come and let's compete in climbing trees!"
"Huh? Why should I compare you to climbing a tree?"
"Of course it's to determine who is faster between the two of us! Come on, come on!"
Just listening to the noise of the girls, Kazuma couldn't help showing a smile. He started to walk, and was about to go to the backyard to see what Mikako was doing again, when he heard someone coming from a distance, panting.
He looked back and saw that it was Rinanli cuisine.
"Master! Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital!"
He Ma: "Oh. By the way, I almost forgot that there is a person like you in the dojo."
"No, Master, you are too much!"
He Ma laughed and said, "Is the student union busy recently?"
"It's okay, this year's student union is coming to an end, and it's mainly about finishing work. But..." Nichinan Rina paused, his expression suddenly showing a trace of sadness, "But Higashiide-kun passed away suddenly, he, as a deputy The president is very capable."
There was a smile on the corner of He Mayuan's mouth, but when he heard Ninan Licai's words, the smile disappeared suddenly.
At this moment, he and the horse seemed to have hallucinations again, seeing the blood-red sea of flowers on the other side. But this time, there were not so many dead souls looking at him, only a single dead soul.
In the distance, you can see the torii gate erected in the water, and countless river lanterns float along the river to the torii gate and into the distance.
"Master?" Rinan Rina grabbed Kazuma's shoulder and pulled him out of the hallucination, "What's wrong with you, Master?"
Kazuma squeezed a smile: "It's nothing, I suddenly thought of what happened when I just met Higashiide-kun, how is his little girlfriend Manina?"
Hinan Rina nodded: "I have been paying attention to Marina, she seems to be determined to do something, and she is studying hard."
"That's good." He Ma breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his persuasion to the girl was still effective.
In this way, Higashiide-kun's spirit in heaven should be a little relieved.
One day, the welfare technology will be completely destroyed, and the head of all the culprits, Aichuan Fulong, will be used to commemorate Higashiide-kun and all the innocent people who were killed by them.
Kazuma was making up his mind, Nichinan Rina came over and hugged his arm: "Master, don't be so serious! Haven't you already punished the person who killed Dong De-kun? He can rest in peace, let's go Let's go play! These days, I'm busy with the affairs of the student union and going to cram school, so I'm almost exhausted!"
Rinan Rina dragged his horse and walked towards the backyard.
Shiratori Akira and his partner Takayama looked at each other and said, "Are you envious?"
Gao Shan Detective: "I'm not envious. When I have to make a choice after this, it will be so stressful. Please forgive me."
Shiratori Akira laughed.
**
After nightfall, Jinshan and others came to the Tongsheng Dojo, and the backyard was very lively.
Although Meijiazi didn't drink any wine, she had already entered a state of drunken madness: "Let me tell you! I compared Qingliu with Qingliu in the evening, and I crawled faster! Hema also swore that Qingliu was faster ,eccentric!"
With an expression of "I'm too lazy to care about you", Qingliu hugged the guitar and drank juice.
"Hi, Qingliu," Mikako came to hug her, and squeezed her cheeks aside with her chest muscles, "You are so light, why can't you crawl faster than me?"
"That's because my hands are shorter than yours." Qingliu retorted.
"Hee hee hee, it's not just your hands that are short."
Qingliu rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to Mikako.
As a result, Mikako grabbed her armpit from behind and lifted her high while she was unaware.
"Mikako!" Qingliu roared out of embarrassment, and pulled out the knife hidden in her guitar with a clang, "I'm going to kill you!"
"Fucking real knife! I surrender! Qingliu, I surrender!" Mikako put down the person and jumped to the seat in one go, a hero who admits love.
Qingliu looked at Mikako who was kneeling on the ground in a particularly standard way, and could only sigh, and put away the knife: "I don't really intend to cut anyone."
"I knew Qingliu was a good person." Mikako got up and hugged her, squeezing Qingliu's cheeks with her chest muscles, "Qingliu is the cutest!"
Kazuma watched Mikako making a fuss, and thought that with someone like her around, he would never have to worry about the atmosphere of the banquet not being stirred up.
Just as he turned his gaze away, he happened to see Jinguji Yuzao coming out of the dojo holding a bamboo pole for drying clothes, and it seemed that he was going to hang the wind chime in his hand under the eaves.
Kazuma: "Is that the wind chime sent by Kinma and Komori-san?"
"Yeah, listening to the wind chimes like this, does it feel like Jinma and Komori Mountain are coming too?"
Shiratori was sitting under a cherry tree that hadn't bloomed, drinking with a wine glass, when he heard Tamamo's words, he smiled and said, "Kinma is the son of the Kinma police in Osaka Prefecture, why do you make it sound like he's dead? It's the same."
Jinguji smiled and said: "Just kidding, usually at this time I complain about me with Malay."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I took the job with Mr. Ma. I'll punish myself!" Shiratori said, filling himself up, feeling bored.
He also seemed in a pretty good mood.
He Ma: "Has Ma Xingxiong been promoted to the police?"
"It was about to be promoted. After all, the original police were about to retire. Then the Osaka incident ended, and everything would be logical." Detective Shiratori spread his hands and put down his glass.
Jinshan Pingta picked up the jug, poured wine for Shiratori and said: "As long as the professional group gets ahead, there will always be a promotion time, unlike some eternal police department sang."
"I'll be promoted too." Shiratori waved his hand.
"Does it mean two levels of special advancement?" Takashi the flower house, who was sitting on the same plastic sheet, teased.
The so-called two-level special advancement means that after a person dies on duty, he is promoted to two levels to receive a pension.
Shiratori gave the big reporter a blank look: "You crow's mouth, I mean the upgrade before retirement."
A criminal policeman like Shiratori who started from the grassroots, if he performed well in his career, he could get a higher rank before retiring and get more pensions.
And if there are meritorious deeds in life, they will probably be assigned to police-related companies or some foundations as consultants.
He Ma listened to the conversation of the three "social people" and couldn't get in for a while.
At this time he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the entrance, but the courtyard of Kiryu's house could not directly see the entrance, it was blocked by a corner of the house.
"I'll go and have a look." Jinguji Yuzao handed the bamboo pole on which the wind chimes had just been hung to Mao, turned around and went into the house—it's a formal way to greet him at the door from the house.
Shiratori glanced at Hema: "Who else did you invite?"
"No, we're all here." He Ma shrugged, "It's not like the acquaintances of the dojo, they don't know how to ring the doorbell, and they all go directly to the yard."
After the words fell, Daisuke Wakamiya, who had just gone to the bathroom, hurried out of the dojo, and said to the men sitting on the plastic sheet in the yard, "It's Shibayutahisa!"
And Ma frowned.
Shiratori pressed his leg directly: "Don't move, let's see what you're here for first."
Hanaba Takashi gestured to Daisuke Wakamiya: "Get ready for the camera."
"It's up to you." Daisuke Wakamiya took out the miniature camera used for "secret material collection" and clamped it under his arm.
At this time Jinguji Tamamo led Shibao Tahisa through the dojo and into the courtyard.
Jinguji Tamamo: "The lawyer Shibai Tahisa said he wanted to see Master Kiryu for something."
Kazuma didn't stand up, just sat on the plastic sheet, looked at Shibao Tianjiu who was standing on the edge: "Tell me if you have something to say, and let the fart go."
Shibai Tahisa smiled at Kazuma: "That's right, Mr. Kiryu has recovered from his injuries and was discharged from the hospital. On behalf of Mr. Aikawa Fulong, the chairman of Welfare Technology, I would like to express my heart. This is a gift personally selected by Chairman Aikawa."
As he said that, Shibao Tajiu took over an exquisite gift box from the attendant behind him, holding it with both hands and handing it forward.
"A little heart is not a respect."
Just as he was about to talk with Ma, Baimine Qingliu, who was sitting not far from Chai Shengtian Jiu, pulled out the knife in the guitar with a slap, and cut the gift in the middle.
The next moment, white 10,000-yen banknotes spewed out of the box and scattered all over the floor.
Shibayu Tianjiu smiled, as if the development of this matter was in line with his meaning.
He handed back the empty gift box to his attendant, and then bowed to Kiryu and Ma: "It seems that someone doesn't welcome me very much, so I'll take my leave now, and I won't bother you to enjoy the night time."
He Ma: "You take the things back!"
Shibai Tahisa turned around as if he didn't hear it, and left.
Mikako reached out and grabbed Kaisheng's clothes: "Hema told you to take the things back! Didn't you hear?"
Shibao Tianjiu just stopped, and looked at Mikako with a half-smile: "The gift has been opened, how can there be any reason to take the opened gift back?"
"You!" Mikako looked like she wanted to give Shibao Tahisa a taste of the fists of members of the Sophia University Kendo Club.
Jinguji Tamamo stopped Mikako, and by the way, snapped off Mikako's hand holding Shibao Tahisa's suit.
"Lawyer Chai Sheng, please go slowly." Jinguji said to Chai Sheng Tianjiu with a smile, "I won't send it off."
Shibai Tianjiu nodded and left with his deputy.
Qingliu lowered her head and said to Kazuma, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it when I saw his face."
Waving with Ma: "I wanted to beat him up just now."
Chiyoko stared at the big pile of banknotes on the ground with a look like drooling, "Then what about the money? There are... how many millions?"
Shiratori: "I don't know where the money came from. I bet that as long as you deposit the money in the bank, troubles will come right away. Even if you can say that the money was given by Fufu Technology, all parties I will also think that you have accepted money from welfare technology and established a de facto alliance."
He Ma scratched his head: "Then what should I pack and send back?"
"It's a way, but people will think, 'Is there a full refund?'" Honami said, "In this case, generally all parties will default to the relationship between the two, and it may be a deliberate play. But I have A good way to deal with it."
He Ma: "Tell me about it."
"Isn't there a reporter here?" Honami looked at Takashi Hanafo with a smile, "What do you think of the headline 'The Great Hero Burned the Bribes Sent by Welfare Technology'?"
Hanaba Takashi: "It's not good, I'll use '100 million yen in ashes' as the title. Although it doesn't look like 100 million yen, but whatever!"
Shiratori was stunned: "If you do this, it's a complete afternoon. I think it's good to pack it up and send it back. It's okay to be suspected of doing it on purpose. It's better to say that Fufu Technology won't come for a while. It's a good thing to trouble you."
He Ma shook his head: "No, I will never compromise with the mastermind behind the scenes, never."
Shiratori stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed: "Gold is broken with hardness, and water is soft. Forget it, you are a hero."
He Ma accepted the compliment and waved his hand: "A Mao, gather all the money together! Bring it to the yard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind suddenly picked up, and the wind blew all the ten thousand yuan banknotes that had been piled up on the edge to the muddy ground in the yard.
The wind swirled, and the banknotes that were scattered far away were also swept over, and finally piled up in a pile in the middle of the yard.
Everyone stared at the vision in astonishment, only Kazuma glanced at Gongji Yuzao.
Tamamo let go of her hands, hid her hands in the sleeves of her kimono, and smiled at him.
Hema pouted: "Amao, go to the kitchen to get..."
Before he finished speaking, Jinshan Pingtai came forward with vodka and poured it on the pile of things.
He tossed the vodka bottle into the pile, struck the match and held it in his hand, and turned to look at the horse.
He Ma stepped forward, took the match that was still burning, flicked it lightly, and flicked it towards the pile of banknotes.
Daisuke Wakamiya held the camera, snapping pictures non-stop.
Chiyoko opened her mouth wide, watching the matches fall to the pile of money.
Seeing his younger sister's expression, Kazuma thought that when he would copy songs for her in the future, he would definitely copy "I Want 5,000 Trillion Yen".
The fire blazed.
Detective Shiratori sighed: "Come on, now I'm in your chariot too, Araki-kun must be very happy."
He came to the fire, picked up a cigarette, picked up a half-burned 10,000 yen, and lit it with the fire on it.
Then he flicked his fingers, and the yen twirled, fell into the fire, and disappeared in ashes.
Daisuke Wakamiya seized the time to record this series of moments on film.
A teenager, a middle-aged, and an old guy who is about to retire.
Before them, the flames ignited by the yen blazed.
Afterword of the fourth volume
Originally, according to the syllabus, this volume should have finished the first year of university.
It is estimated that there should be eighty-five to ninety chapters, and the number of chapters is the same as that of the previous three volumes.
But when I finished the chapter just now, I suddenly felt that this was the end of the fourth volume.
Very good, very lingering.
And at the end here, the structure of the fourth volume is very complete.
For the character Baifeng Yuyin, her fate in the first stage has been determined since she appeared on the stage, and she used the plot of the martial arts drama as a hint. In the fourth volume, I spent a lot of pen and ink to let everyone understand her and fall in love with her, so as to form enough impact at the final climax.
In fact, most of the characters in this book play an important role in promoting the plot, and their fate is set upon their appearance.
For example, Zongwu Baifeng, not long after he appeared on the stage, there was a scene where the teacup was cracked. This actually has two layers of foreshadowing. The first layer is the most obvious, implying that he will be killed by Kazuma, and the second layer is that his teacup is cracked. when you say.
The second layer of foreshadowing has not yet arrived.
Of course, some readers should have already guessed it, so I hope you don’t say too much.
Even if I guessed right, I would pretend not to see it.
The fourth volume also has an important task, which is to expand the worldview. In fact, since the appearance of Jinguji Tamamo, I have arranged a lot of details to show that this world is not an ordinary world, implying the existence of the mysterious side.
I have been doing this on thin ice, just worried that the sudden lifting of the veil will make people uncomfortable. Now it seems that my purpose has been accomplished very well. Volume Four exceeded its goals.
The fate of Jinguji Yuzao was actually determined through seemingly useless details when she appeared on the stage, but it is still too early to fully unfold, so let’s take her as an NPC that hints that the battle is over and you can feel at ease ( laugh).
Next, I plan to combine the tail of the original fourth volume with the beginning of the fifth volume to write a large excessive volume.
Similar to the previous second volume, it is mainly an ambush, establishing characters, and then there are some plots like side missions, and some pleasant battles.
After all, with such a big climax in the fourth volume just now, everyone must be a little tired, and want to see He Ma and the harem go around to open Wushuang, right
In short, the fifth volume is a relaxed and happy volume.
real.
Tomorrow—no, it's today, today at 23:57, see you in Volume 5.
