Friday, January 6th, evening, Kakudo-cho, Mizuno mercy's apartment building.

Belmode, dressed as an old woman, walked up to the floor where Shui Wu Rena's apartment was located, and slowly walked towards Shui Wu Renna's apartment, but listening to the faint laughter of the man inside, he stopped, and couldn't help frowning.

This voice is...... Mori Kogoro?

Belmode turned and left, hoping it was just a coincidence. ……

Inside the apartment.

Conan heard footsteps through the eavesdropper outside, and at first thought that a certain resident didn't care, but then found that the other party had returned, and the footsteps were not fast, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

This is not a resident, the resident will not return for no reason, there is no sound of the phone, indicating that there is no temporary accident, and if the door key is forgotten in the car, the steps should be in a hurry, not like now.

Could it be the doorbell prank?

Conan hurriedly went to open the door, but the door was already locked from the inside, and Conan couldn't reach the lock on it, so he jumped to his feet, but he couldn't reach it.

"What are you doing, Conan?"

"Sister Lan, someone was outside just now. ”

"Really?"

Lan looked through the cat's eye, "No one." ”

"Someone, someone's. Conan said hurriedly, helpless in his heart, there were obviously people, but because he was short and blocked by the door, he couldn't go out to take a look, what was the matter!

"Where did you know there's someone out there? Maori said angrily, "Don't make a fuss, boy, Lan bring him back." ”

"I ......" Conan had nothing to say.

As for the bugging thing, Conan didn't want to say, it would definitely be beaten by Maori and then confiscated.

"Okay, Dad. Lan pulled Conan up, "Let's go, go, get ready, get ready to sleep." ”

"......" Conan was speechless, and shouted in his heart, oh my God, spare me, it's so cold......

The next day, Saturday, January 7, at half past four in the morning, Miyamoto's house.

Under the vibration of the alarm clock next to his pillow, Yamazaki woke up from the warm bed.

Turning off the alarm clock, Yamazaki adjusted his body and sat up to get dressed.

After washing up, he went out of the room, and Yamazaki chose a quiet breakfast so as not to wake up his family.

The induction cooker heats the milk, mixes it with a lot of instant cereal, and when the milk is ready, the cereal is fine.

After drinking this pot of milk cereal, even if you have breakfast, as for the hunger again, then let's talk about it, all kinds of shops should be open at that time, and there are 24-hour convenience stores.

After washing the milk pot and putting it away, Yamazaki is ready to go.

Mimiko Miyamoto came out with a coat, "You're leaving like this?Morning is not better than night, it's cold outside, this trench coat is thin, I remember I made a thick hooded coat for you and Mei Daiko, you haven't worn it yet, you don't think it's outdated, so you don't want to wear it, right?"

Yamazaki was a little moved and a little crying and laughing at the same time, "How can it be? Mom, clothes, I think as long as they are not too bad, too conspicuous, they can be worn, I think Mei Daiko thinks the same way, and the general coat is not fashionable or unfashionable, just keep warm." ”

Miyamoto Miko smiled: "Okay, then go and change it on." ”

Yamazaki smiled: "I know, Mom, you should go back and rest quickly, don't get cold." ”

"Then I'll go back," Miyamoto advised, "remember to change your clothes, and be gentle when you close the door, so as not to wake up Maida too." ”

"Understood. Yamazaki made a gesture of understanding. ……

Yamazaki changed his clothes, opened the door and went out, and immediately felt the temperature drop sharply, and gently took the door out, and went downstairs without leaving the corridor, standing at the entrance of the building, he felt a cold wind, with a little snowflakes.

It was right to change into thick clothes, Yamazaki turned up his hat and stepped into the cold wind, his body was not cold, and his heart was warm.

It was not yet five o'clock in the morning, it was not yet dawn, there were no pedestrians on the road, and there were not many vehicles on the road.

After entering the range of Rice Flower Square, there are more talents.

Today is Saturday, and the morning train of the Rice Flower Underground Loop Line departs at 5 a.m., and the Rice Flower Square Station is the departure point.

Although it's the New Year's period again, there are a lot of people who catch the train early, who take turns off, those who work overtime, those who catch private schools, and so on, including Yamazaki, because of emergencies.

A crisp doorbell rang far away in the deserted rice flower square.

It was the cowboy convenience store in the square, and the doorbell was ringing in and out of people.

People who go out early in the morning and don't have a place to have breakfast, often choose to go to the 24-hour convenience store because the ingredients there are fresh in the early morning, and of course, if you choose yesterday, the price will be cheaper.

The train stop was open early in the morning, but later it was found that the station was too close to the train stop and was not as convenient as a convenience store.

I bought breakfast, ate it and went to the station, and when I got to the station, I could just throw the package in the trash.

Therefore, in order to avoid competing for business with convenience stores, and at the same time to save resources and costs, the train stop Ben later changed to open in the morning when there are many people.

However, the cheapest breakfast is from the Western-style fast food restaurant in the square, but the ingredients are only guaranteed to be within the tasting period.

Through the large glass window of the Western-style fast food restaurant, you can see that there are some people inside, lying on the table, lying on the bench, and they all seem to be sleeping, these are basically the stranded people who have drunk a cup of tea since last night.

There are now open restaurants in the plaza and a 24-hour restaurant in the game city, but they are all set meals, a little more expensive, and there are no lingering people.

However, there are many people staying in the capsule-style hotel, Japanese-style Odori house, and room-type Internet café in the game city every day.

According to the internal statistics of the Good Mood Foundation, more than 100,000 people stay overnight every night in thousands of 24-hour fast-food restaurants across the country.

More than 1.5 million people enter the space capsule-style hotels, Japanese-style odori houses, and room-type Internet cafes in the game city every night.

There are more than one million cocoon game devices in thousands of game cities, and there are now nearly three million resident players in total, with an average of nearly two players each in use.

Of the more than 1.6 million people, about 65 percent are resident players of the game city, that is, people who spend more than six hours in the cocoon game equipment, and also people who have other jobs, such as food delivery people, such as customs people.

The room-type Internet café is a simple love hut, and people go in to play the computer under the sign of a friend, and there is no reason to stop it.

Besides, there are two people, a man and a woman, two people are men, and two people are women, who knows what it has to do with them other than friends.

As for what exactly they did inside, it was someone else's privacy, and if the police wanted to enter the door and search, they had to show a search warrant first.

Of course, if you're stupid enough to take a picture and leave evidence for the police, that's another story.

The remaining 35 percent or so are daily employees of other companies, and none of them are people who play games regularly.

In the end, the nearly 10,000 people who were really in difficulty were registered with the government, and they had to report any gifts they accepted, and it was really troublesome to help.

And that's just the tip of the story.

Last year, according to official statistics, nearly 3 million people were completely unemployed, and more than 700,000 daily employees were registered.

International organizations believe that the number of people living in relative poverty in the country may be close to 20 million, while the official statistics put the number of people earning less than 4 million yen a year at exactly over 20 million.

More than 3 million people have an annual income of 1 million yen or less, more than 5.5 million people have an annual income of 1 million yen to 2 million yen, more than 7 million people have an annual income of 2 million yen to 3 million yen, and more than 8 million people have an annual income of 3 million yen to 4 million yen.

The official idea is now that the Good Mood Consortium wants to further expand the scale of the cocoon game to attract more people.

However, cocoon games can help people live, not because of how fun the game is, but because the Good Mood Consortium supports the exchange of game currency for cash, and then absorbs the cash back through player consumption, forming a relatively complete cycle, and then creating net profits through taxes to fill the gap.

If you hastily expand the scale, but the service can't keep up, it will inevitably cause a loss of consumption, which will inevitably lead to a loss, and then the whole cycle will fall apart.

As for scaling up, there are still some monopoly issues that need to be avoided, such as medical services for people with physical disabilities, such as long-term care insurance and services for the elderly, and so on.

When these groups of people expand, there will be more consumption lost from this area, and I really don't know if the net profit can be filled at that time, and if they are all contracted, it may involve monopoly issues.

And if you want to prevent the loss of consumption now, and at the same time do not touch the monopoly, then the only way is to join forces with other companies, which is probably the mind of the six major consortia.

Of course, the six major consortia can create one on their own, but it is still very early for the pile of bad debts in their financial enterprises to disappear completely, and it is too risky to engage in this again.

That is, if you don't take a big risk, you can get a piece of the pie, which should be based on such an abacus.

But the Good Mood consortium doesn't want to invest in the enemy.

Moreover, it is true that it is righteous to help more people, but will the expansion of the scale affect the people now? You must know that it is even more natural to maintain the people you are helping now.

Therefore, in terms of righteousness, no one can help anyone, so they can only talk slowly and drag it out.

This is the helplessness of reality.

Yamazaki thought casually all the way, went all the way to the underground, swiped his card to buy a ticket and got on the morning train. ……
