Why is the word "feminine" used?

This is because the Japanese language means "there is a difference between men and women".

For example, when saying "I", the person on the phone uses "ぼく" (boku), which is a common self-term for men.

The rest of the conversation, there's nothing particularly worth paying attention to. It wasn't until Nakamura mentioned the "phone recording" that there was a noticeable knocking sound on the phone, after which the man quickly made a promise, and the two turned to talk about the transaction......

The transaction method is not new, and it is also done in a password locker at Shinjuku Station.

Lin Hai said and turned to Nakamura Aimi: "No wonder you doubt me, this habit-" He knocked on the floor and smiled, "It's really easy to show your feet." ”

"Horse feet?" Seeing Rika grasp Lin Hai's speech, she stared at him and asked, "Could it be that you really did the thing?"

"Don't react so much, it's not me. ”

"Who's that?"

"Murderer. ”

"What you said is equivalent to not saying it, and now everyone can see that this 'buyer' is related to the case, but there is no evidence that he killed Ken Kajima. ”

"Just go and see each other. ”

Lin Hai stood up and said with a smile: "But before that, there are still some things to do......"

……

Lin Hai came to the Honda convenience store for the fourth time, and the store manager was about to close.

"Honda manager. Lin Hai greeted the store manager.

"It's you again. Where's Kyoko?"

The store manager found that only Lin Hai and Hikaru Utada came this time, and he didn't see Kyoko and the policewoman.

The store manager retracted his gaze and asked with a smile, "What are you going to buy this time?"

As he spoke, he pushed the half-drawn roller shutter door up and reopened the door.

"Does the store manager usually close so early?" Lin Hai followed the store manager into the convenience store and asked casually.

The store manager joked: "The economy has been sluggish recently, and the housewives around me are more willing to go to large supermarkets to buy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to open it here." ”

"I see. Lin Hai nodded, and then said, "Actually, we came here this time to ask the store manager for advice." ”

The store manager was confused and asked, "What do you ask?"

Lin Hai said: "She and I are both singers, I wrote a song for her, and now I am a little unsure about the rhythm of the song, so I want to ask you for advice." ”

"You're kidding, I'm just a convenience store manager. ”

"You are too modest. The store manager used to be a drummer, right?"

"Oh?" the store manager asked curiously, "How do you see that?"

Lin Hai raised the score book in his hand and said, "I noticed that one of the music books you sold me had a drum score drawn at the beginning. ”

The clef of the drum sheet is two thick vertical lines, which are different from the common clef.

The store manager patted his head: "Ah, I didn't notice that I sold you the used ones, I'm sorry, I'll return the money to you." ”

"No, no, it's just a symbol, it doesn't matter at all. ”

Lin Hai said with a smile: "If the store manager feels that he can't go, he might as well point us out." ”

"If you can't talk about pointing, then I'll take the liberty of appreciating it. ”

The store manager said and took the book in Lin Hai's hand.

"Huh......" The store manager glanced at it, looked up and asked, "Total score?"

"Yes. ”

"Well, I'll see. ”

The store manager didn't expect Lin Hai to take out the score, and he was immediately interested.

A score is a form of sheet music that shows a multi-part musical work in its entirety in a multi-line staff.

Lin Hai can come up with the score, which means that he has not only completed the "composition", but also the "arrangement".

"Rap?" the store manager flipped through the score and asked the second question.

"Yes. ”

"Hmmm......"

The store manager put the score flat on the cash register, read it carefully, and subconsciously tapped his fingers on the countertop, "Dada, dada, dada......"

Seeing this, Hikaru Utada wanted to speak, but Lin Hai raised his index finger in front of his mouth, signaling him to be calm and calm.

Time passed minute by minute, and after nearly half an hour, the store manager closed the score book and raised his head.

"It's a wonderful work!" the store manager praised, "This piece will definitely be a sensation when it is released!"

"Do you think there's something wrong?"

"I'll get straight to the point. ”

The store manager said, "I think it's a failure to add R&B elements to the rap part. ”

Lin Hai nodded and said, "Sure enough, you can see it." ”

This is the gap between amateur and professional.

There are only two options in the dictionary of ordinary fans: "good" and "bad", and at most "not very good" and "very bad", fans who can divide music into four levels are already very remarkable.

Professionals, on the other hand, can get to the heart of the problem through their gorgeous appearances.

"You know there's a problem here? So why are you writing that?"

"This will somewhat relax the requirements for singing. ”

"With all due respect, there are still some hardcore rappers in China. ”

"This song has a special meaning, and it is impossible to sing it for someone else. ”

"Then it can't be helped. It's a pity ......"

The store manager glanced at the music sheet and shook his head repeatedly.

Although he did not convince Lin Hai to change the general direction, the store manager still gave some suggestions.

After getting the advice, Lin Hai thanked the other party seriously: "Thank you very much for your advice!"

"Where, I'm just giving some personal opinions. ”

The store manager said, looked at his watch, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have something to do next." ”

"It may take you some more time," Lin Hai said, "I have one more question for you." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Why did you kill Ken Kajima?"

……

The smile on the store manager's face disappeared little by little, and he asked a little unhappily, "Do you suspect me of being a murderer?"

"Nope. Lin Hai said: "It's not doubt, it's affirmation." ”

"It's inexplicable! I haven't seen him before, so why should I kill him for no reason?"

Lin Hai nodded and said, "Indeed, you shouldn't have known him before......"

"Hai!" Utada Hikaru was in a hurry, how could Lin Hai help the other party talk?

Lin Hai signaled her not to worry, and then continued: "But just because you don't know him doesn't mean you won't kill him. ”

"Why, why should I kill him?"

"I guess it's for self-protection. Lin Hai asked, "Does the store manager know Aimi Nakamura?"

"I don't know. ”

"Shouldn't you ask me who she is at this time?"

Lin Hai smiled and turned his head to Hikaru Utada and said, "If you decide to end a question, you must not take the initiative to ask the other party. ”

"Hmph!" the store manager snorted and did not speak.

"Aimi Nakamura is a new artist who once sold her worn underwear to a sex toy store for money, and you heard about it, so you took the initiative to contact her and planned to make a deal with her. ”

"Nonsense!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, as long as the police go to that store and investigate, it's clear. ”

"Even if I knew about it......"

"You just pretended you didn't know. Lin Hai smiled: "You want to say, even if you hear about it, it doesn't mean what you will do?"

"That's it. ”

"When you were making a deal, you must not have expected that Ken Kajima also knew about it, and used it as a threat to ask for money from Nakamura Aimi...... Coincidentally, Ken Kajima came to your store yesterday to buy a drink, and it was the 'Prince Shotoku' you gave to Aimi Nakamura, plus he had a camera with him, so you immediately guessed that he was a paparazzi. ”

"You're looking too highly of me. ”

"This is not a high-level vision, you are a 'Honda who can see through the truth at a glance'. ”

Lin Hai gagged him with what the store manager had said, and then said, "I guess you must have been very nervous when you saw that 'Prince Shotoku'." ”

"Money looks the same......"

"As you said, you thought it was a counterfeit banknote at the time, but after all, it's rare to see such a new 'Prince Shotoku'. ”

The store manager stopped talking.

"In short, you suspect that the identity of the anonymous buyer was discovered by Ken Kajima - or you just wanted to avoid being implicated, in short, you killed him. ”

"Very interesting story, but unfortunately it's all speculation and no evidence. ”

"I knew you would say that. Proof, of course I have. ”

The store manager didn't answer.

"Aimi Nakamura told you that she recorded your call. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Aimi Nakamura told me that she heard the sound of finger tapping on the phone, and as far as I know, most drummers have this habit. ”

"That's it?" the manager retorted, "A lot of people have this habit, and it's not evidence at all." ”

"Did I say this counts as evidence?"

Lin Hai asked rhetorically, looked at the electronic clock on the wall, and said, "It's almost time to arrive." ”

As soon as Lin Hai's words fell, a burst of engine sounds came from far and near, and stopped outside the store.

In a few days, Akimi Oshima, Rika Nomi, Kyoko Fukada and Aimi Nakamura entered.

Lin Hai took the laptop from Xiaomei Oshima's hand and asked, "Is it inside?"

"Hmm. ”

Lin Hai turned on the computer, tinkered with it a few times, and said to the store manager: "It's a waste of time to transfer the tape recording to the computer, let's listen to it now." ”

He said and began to play the audio file.

“…… Miss Nakamura, what I said yesterday ......"

"Wait!"

The store manager motioned for Lin Hai to pause, and then said, "This is clearly a woman!"

"He calls himself 'Boku'. ”

"It doesn't mean anything, maybe it's a deliberate blurring of genders?"

"Definitely. Lin Hai nodded, "So what?"

I don't know where Lin Hai moved, the voice coming out of the computer is no longer as "feminine" as it was just now, but has completely changed into a man's voice.

The store manager's face turned red in an instant, he pointed at Lin Hai with his finger, and stammered: "You, you ......"

Lin Hai handed over the computer to Akimi Oshima and said to the store manager, "Unfortunately, I happen to know Auto-tune as well." Do you remember the song I asked you for advice on? In fact, I was going to give her (Hikaru Utada) to sing the rap part, and then process it into the voice of a male singer......"

The strength on the store manager's body seemed to be drained in an instant, and he looked at Lin Hai in a daze.

After a while, the store manager spoke, "So you just asked me for advice, just to stall for time?"

"Initially, it was. But I didn't expect you to give me so much valuable advice, and I really appreciate you for that alone. ”

The store manager shook his head and sighed: "Are young people so powerful now......

What else could Lin Hai say.

Who gave him an absolute sense of tone?
