When it comes to cooking, Qingliu, a former daughter of a noble family, probably knows how to cook instant noodles and the like. As for He Ma's culinary skills, although he is average, he still has the soul inheritance of the big foodie empire. As long as he has enough ingredients, he can barely cook a decent meal.
But today He Ma was too lazy to move, thinking whether to take Qingliu out for dinner. Although it is quite difficult to support three college students with the salary supplemented by the police department, fortunately, he has an extra income from time to time when he writes songs, and he can still afford a meal or two once in a while.
Just as Kazuma was seriously considering the lunch menu, there was a knock on the dojo's door.
Before the horse could react, Qingliu answered first, and then ran to open the door—because it was just practicing the basic form of my kendo, so Qingliu didn't wear protective gear, and only held a practice tool in her hand. wooden knife. It would be considered impolite to run to open the door like this, but Kiryu Dojo was not known for being gentle and obedient, so Kazuma didn't mind.
"And Ma... ah no, Master, we have guests."
"Who is it? Come here at this time."
Hearing Qingliu's voice, he didn't seem to be looking for trouble, so Hema leaned half of his body on the aisle, looking lazily at the entrance. Then I saw a thin, slightly nervous man carrying a briefcase, taking off his shoes and walking into the aisle.
"Inspector Charcoal Well? Why are you here?" He Ma asked in surprise.
"I went to the mobile team to look for you in the morning. They said you were on standby at home, and then they came to look for you." Without waiting to greet Ma, Tanjing walked into the living room and sat down opposite the coffee table. "What? The Dragon of Kanto is planning to retire and play the role of a salary thief? If the villains knew about it, they might go to Tokyo Bay to set off fireworks."
"Hey, my partner is still in the hospital. According to the regulations of the Metropolitan Police Department, he can't act alone." Kazuma shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking politely to Tan Jing. "In addition, I also shoulder the heavy responsibility of finding talents for the mobile team, so strictly speaking, I am not lazy."
"That was really hard work. Your partner's name is Asano, right? The son of the Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Metropolitan Police Department, I heard that he was hit by a car and broke his leg. Isn't it a big deal?"
"Well, I went to visit a doctor yesterday. That guy is in a special intensive care ward. He has food, drink, and his fiancee takes care of him. He lives a pretty good life..." Thinking of the scene at that time, the corners of Hema's mouth couldn't help but Stay bent. "However, his fiancée is a tall beauty of 1.78 meters tall, so it may be more difficult to control."
"But I remember that he is only 1.56 meters..." Tan Jing was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. "It seems that our Chief Cabinet Secretary is quite determined to improve the breed of the next generation. Does this count as counterproductive? I don't feel envious at all."
"No, no, to some extent, it's quite an enviable treatment, right?"
"The police department, although I don't want to make irresponsible remarks on other people's interests, but you have monopolized too many resources in this area... If you don't let go of your partner's fiancée, then even if you put it in a nice way, it's a scumbag, okay? "
"I didn't think about it, bastard. I just wanted to silently wish my partner an early happiness."
"It's true. When he is discharged from the hospital one day, I'll find him a drink."
While having a man-to-man conversation with Ma and Tani, the door of the living room slid open, and Haruyuki came in with the brewed tea and refreshments—this used to be Chiyoko’s work, and Tamamo occasionally played for her when she was around, but Both of them happened to be away today, so Qingliu had to play the role of hostess.
"Master, please drink tea."
Among other things, at least Qingliu's movements and postures are well learned.
"... Qingliu, it's better to use hotter water to make tea next time."
Holding up the teacup, Kazuma made a mocking comment. It should be said that Tamazao and Nanjo in the family are both masters of tea ceremony, but in fact he doesn't pay much attention to tea itself. Knowing this, Qingliu stuck out her tongue quietly out of sight, and silently backed away after saying yes.
"Oh, this is the Chestnut Cake from the Jinguji family, right? It seems to be a limited product only for the Chinese family. It turns out that the rumor that the police department lived a luxurious life in the dojo is true." Tan Jing also picked up the teacup, However, he was more interested in the refreshments served by Qingliu, and took a bite of the chestnut cake unceremoniously.
"Luxury fart, this is my own special product brought by my disciple." He Ma rolled his eyes and didn't bother to explain. "Besides, you guy, what's the point of visiting empty-handed? At least bring some refreshments, isn't it in accordance with etiquette?"
"Stop making trouble, the police department wants you to eat limited snacks from Jinguji's house every day, how can the cheap ones you buy casually from the fruit shop on the roadside look good?" Tanjing said, picked up another chestnut cake and put it in his mouth, continuously After eating several chestnut cakes. The inspector took out a tissue and wiped off the crumbs in his hand, sat upright again, and took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over.
"what is this?"
He Ma frowned and looked at the paper with names and numbers written on it, feeling quite familiar.
"Did you read today's newspaper? This is the copy of the document left at the scene." Tan Jing shifted his gaze to the newspaper beside the coffee table, and after a pause, he asked Kazuma straight to the point. "I'm really not good at insinuating words, so I asked the police department directly. Is the incident of Takata's death from the building related to you?"
"Hey, the report said that no trace of intruders was found at the scene? Do you think I will fly into the sky and escape?" Hema shrugged. The inspector named Tanjing in front of him is a shrewd and capable bureaucrat type, and he seems to be trustworthy in terms of personality. But after all, he is a figure in the system, and He Ma doesn't intend to win him over.
"Police Bubu, you didn't deny at all that you wanted to kill Gao Tian?" Tan Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Nonsense! That guy kidnapped my dojo disciple twice! If it was the era of Lord Nobunaga, I would have ripped him apart!" Kazuma slapped the table angrily, showing no pretense The erection came out, bluffing the inspector on the other side on the spot.
"But in this era, even the police department can't use force at will, so I can only stare... You don't seem to believe it? I mean it. In fact, Qingliu and I went to the second-hand bookstore on the day the incident happened. Yes. She wants to borrow some music books for reference, so I will accompany him to wander around, and I should be able to find the receipt of the bookstore for the day if she wants evidence." He Ma waved his hands, picked up his teacup and swallowed.
"I think, the character of the police department supplement is not like the type who will help the wicked get away with it." Tan Jing also picked up the teacup and said quietly.
"Actually, after investigating for a while, I found that that bastard Takata offended quite a few people, and the number of people who wanted to sink him into Tokyo Bay was at least double digits... To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone made a move to mess with him." He said with two fingers up.
"Like, Yasufumi Yoshikawa?" Tanai narrowed his eyes slightly, and mentioned the name of someone who was going to be transferred to the mobile team.
"No, if that guy makes a move, Takata's face will be smashed first, and there will be so many traces left on the scene that it will take Shiratori-san to arrest him in a long time." Hema shook his head and smiled wryly, and then looked at him comfortingly. Charcoal opened his mouth. "Actually, don't think too much about it. Maybe it's really like what the newspaper said. Did that guy commit suicide in fear of crime after receiving the report? After all, people are doing it, and the sky is watching."
"Man is doing it, but the sky is watching?" The proverb from China is still relatively unfamiliar to the Japanese. Tanai repeated it several times before he seemed to understand the meaning, and then gave up with a slight sigh. "It turns out that the police department is quite familiar with Chinese culture, and can say some thought-provoking sentences from time to time."
"After all, he is a student of Dongda University." He Ma shrugged his shoulders and was about to pretend to be aggressive, but then remembered that the guy in front of him seemed to be a graduate of Dongda University
"Anyway, regardless of whether the Takata police department committed suicide in fear of crime or fell from the building by mistake, this information was left at the scene. Next, I will investigate the relevant clues from here, but it will probably take a lot of work." Tan Jing paused, then looked at Kazuma pointedly. "Assuming, I mean assuming, if there are a few more incidents similar to this Takata police department, it should be able to start a formal investigation of their faction."
"Then you have to work harder, and I will join in after Asano recovers." Kazuma cast an encouraging look at Tanjing, and then snapped his fingers as if remembering. "Speaking of which, after Takata's death, many clues can't be investigated down? Or investigate from Hinata's company. As far as I know, their president Kosa Masaki and Ohira Kogi on the other side are two People have a very close relationship with that guy, maybe they can dig out some useful things."
"...Understood." Tanjing nodded, seeming to memorize these two names carefully, then he packed his briefcase and stood up as if he was about to say goodbye. He Ma noticed that when the inspector was packing his briefcase, he took another chestnut cake and put it in his mouth.
"You seem to have a sweet tooth?" Hema couldn't help but guess.
"Sweets can relieve stress, better than taking medicine." Tan Jing admitted bluntly. "Also, Jinguji's desserts are really excellent."
Damn, you are such a cute, smart and bureaucratic persona, your design has collapsed, okay? Hema couldn't laugh or cry, wondering whether he should greet Yuzao and prepare some desserts for this inspector who was so stressed that he took drugs for a meal
After sending the charcoal to the well, the clock on the wall pointed to almost noon. Hema carefully considered two or three shots, then turned his head towards the dojo to greet Qingliu.
"Qingliu, do you want to go out for dinner?"
**
The fall of Takata, the police department, is like overturning a Dolomi domino, causing many unpredictable chain reactions around him. As a partner of Takata, Hyuga Corporation was naturally involved in this turmoil. On this day, the president Jia Zuo had just finished handling the inquiries from the law firm when he received news of a visitor. And the guest who came to visit was none other than his old classmate and partner, Daping Kouyi.
Ohira and Kozuo are students at the same time at Meiji University, and they are also close friends. At first, Ohira wanted to resign from Kozuo to run the company together, but Kozuo persuaded him to keep the psychological clinic. Later, Daping's psychological clinic became the best cover for Hyuga Company, and used the brainwashing technique of disguised treatment to help Kozuo solve many potential troublesome problems, thus forming a brainwashing chain between Jiazuo in the early stage and Daping in the later stage. Huge benefits beyond imagination.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, on the surface, the two still maintain independent operations, and even contact is only carried out in private in the name of alumni gatherings. For example, this time, Koji Ohira directly approached Hinata Company, which can be said to be a very rare example, and it is enough to prove that the latter is facing an urgent situation.
"My clinic was just raided." Jia Zuo received Ohira Kouyi in the office, and as soon as he met him, he broke the bad news that the clinic was raided.
"Search?" Jia Zuo raised his eyebrows. "Did they get a search warrant?"
"Of course, it's all the fault of that bastard Takata." Daping gritted his teeth and said, a mixture of anger and panic appeared on the face of the originally gentle scholar.
The brainwashing business operated by Hyuga Corporation and psychological clinics has so far been cloaked in a seemingly legal veil, and even if the police know that they have problems, they will not be able to punish them. However, Takata's sudden death made the veil lose its protective effect. In the name of investigating the death of the Takata police department, a team of fierce police officers raided Ohira's psychological clinic earlier, and took away a large number of records that I don't know whether they can be used as evidence.
Seeing her clinic turned upside down, Daping Kangyi, who has always played the role of a calm doctor, couldn't help being shaken, so she came to the company in a panic to find Jia Zuo. But to be honest, Jiazuo probably can't come up with any solution.
"Don't panic, dead people won't talk anyway, just leave any questions to that bastard Takata." Jia Zuo first comforted the classmate who came to the door, and continued to confirm after he calmed down a little. "Will the other things that were taken away be dangerous?"
"...It's just some medical records and clinic accounts. It shouldn't be the case. However, many of the accounts have something to do with Takata. If there is a serious investigation, I don't know if it will constitute a suspicion." Daping panted. Looking at Jia Zuo. "If you are really sued, I'm afraid you will have to rely on the wrists of your group of legal jackals. Is it okay?"
"Of course it's okay... Although I want to say this, I just received this this morning." Jia Zuo shook his head and showed him an official document. "This is an informal letter from the law firm. I'm sorry to say that due to the recent busy business of the firm, Hinata's related matters may not be given top priority."
"I can't get top priority... Wait, does this mean you want to cut off from Hinata Company?" Daping was stunned for a moment before he realized it.
"That's right, the last part of the letter said I'm very sorry... bastard! Those damned Fajin leopards! They are better than anyone else in adapting to the wind!" He thumped the table hard.
Daping Kangyi stared at Jiazuo in a daze, picked up the official document and read it several times, until he couldn't find any other meanings, then sat down on the chair next to him, as if the whole person was confused. paralyzed.
"How did it become like this... It's been smooth sailing so far, in the end, what went wrong..."
