Companion General (6)

Keiji Maeda sits on a tatami mat in his room.

It's still summer, and the doors and windows of the room are closed, and sweat is running down his forehead and dripping onto the tatami mats.

The temperature in the room was one reason, but what really made Keiji Maeda, who had always been bold, sweat profusely, was that he had just heard from his friend Kor Sezo that his boss (or to be precise) Hosokawa Fujitaka had been stolen.

Originally, this was not a big deal, and it had nothing to do with himself, but Maeda Keiji thought about it, guessed again, and finally came to a terrible conclusion - he was a thief!

[It's over!] Finished! Why should I sneak into the kitchen with a gluttony...... He also took other people's white shrimp...... Why am I so stupid!! How could the precious food of white shrimp appear in the kitchen casually??? 】

Keiji Maeda hit the coffee table a few times with his head, the innocent latter couldn't stand this person's impulse, and soon finished his life in a falling apart way, if I were at the scene, I would definitely use my mobile phone to take pictures of this scene, that guy who was hanging still knows what it means to be [worried], it's rare.

Keiji Maeda touched his forehead, which was red from the impact, but this level of pain was nothing to him, and the real problem that should be solved immediately at the moment was how to fool this matter over, and the name of [Stealing Soldiers] was too embarrassing......

Moji came to Kobayashi's room with trembling steps.

Kobayashi's [grade] in the wise family is just a general of 200 guan (this treatment refers to "Takeda Shingen", [Fat Tiger]'s personal doctor Dr. Limu Xianyuan, although the military doctor in the war years is very important, and the miracle doctor who can rejuvenate is even rarer, but in general, the status of doctors in feudal society is not high, this position should be the limit of a military doctor, and the Limu family has served the Takeda family for several generations, and the feelings are deep, Kobayashi can not compare), However, his relationship with the general is extraordinary, and the treatment he enjoys is far higher than that of a general, and he must not be offended.

At the door of Kobayashi, it was written in incomprehensible characters [WhiteshrimpmissingCaseInvestigation.]

Division】。

(Translated into Chinese, it is [White Shrimp Disappearance Investigation Headquarters], and this guy Xiaolin is purely pretending to be B!-_-|||.) ）……

After listening to the [case history] stated by Moji with tears in his eyes, Kobayashi volunteered and said:

[You don't have to worry! I'll take care of this matter! 】

He looked excited, and a glimmer of hope rose in Moji's heart.

This person and the lord are friends who have forgotten the years, and if he intercedes for me, the lord should be less punished.

[The name of me [Yoshio Kobayashi] finally came in handy, I am in this [white shrimp disappearance case], and the young detective Kobayashi will be in charge, wahahahahahaha......]

Comes in handy? There's nothing special about your name, huh? And what's going on with [Junior Detective], if I'm not mistaken, you're not a teenager anymore, right......

Maybe this somewhat crazy Dr. Kobayashi in front of him, Moji's heart was a little shaken -- this person may not be reliable, so he might as well make another plan.

[That's right! I'm going back to my room to get ready, so you can go around and investigate first. 】

[Investigation? 】

[It's nothing if the white shrimp are to be taken away, but the thief actually took the water tank with him, Mr. Moji, I ask you, what does this mean? 】

Moji's mind went blank.

[No...... I don't know ......]

In fact, so far, Moji is dying, how can he have time to do any reasoning?

[Humph! Can't you see this? 】

Kobayashi stroked his chin with his fingers and stared at Moji, who was a little scared.

[There is only one truth!] 】

Kobayashi pointed at Moji with his index finger,

[The thief didn't take the shrimp to eat it, otherwise why would he take the water tank with all his might?] In addition, at the time of the crime, the cart transporting vegetables overturned at the gate of the city, and many people went to help......]

[Doctor Kobayashi, do you want to say that the thief left with the water tank at this time? 】

[Don't underestimate our soldiers, it's not so easy for a thief to think about getting out, not to mention holding a water tank, which is not only eye-catching, but also inconvenient to walk If I am a soldier, I will notice him at first sight. 】

[My lord, what do you mean...... Ha! I understand! The thief hasn't been out of town yet, has he! 】

Moji clapped his hands excitedly

[Thank you, doctor, for your guidance, I'll go investigate, wait for my news.] 】

[Well, your master, I will hide the news for you, and he won't know about the loss of the white shrimp for a while...... Time is running out, hurry up and do what you have to do! 】……

When Kobayashi returned to his room, the first thing he did was to put a note on the door of his room.

This guy has definitely watched too many criminal police movies, and he defined this incident as [White Shrimp Disappearance Case].

Since there is a case of disappearance, it is necessary to set up an [Investigation Headquarters], and there must be a [Headquarters] who is responsible for organizing operations.

There is nothing wrong with the latter, his name is [Yoshio Kobayashi], but Dr. Kobayashi, who has not been a detective for a day, has long thought about the addiction of [Qian Xing Heiji] (a famous catcher in the Edo period), and he has no scruples to [promote] himself to [Kobayashi Investigation Headquarters].

But how do you write the signboard of the "Investigation Headquarters"? This made him a little difficult, and he couldn't just write out the words [White Shrimp Disappearance Investigation Headquarters] in the original form, so that before the results of the investigation of the case came out, Moji was first given to Haibian by the old man Hosokawa who had hidden his force value.

Confidentiality must be done well, and after thinking about it, the witty Kobayashi head came up with a clever plan that seemed very remarkable, not to use kanji, let alone kana (kana is much easier to recognize than kanji), then use foreign characters.

So there was a bunch of words written on the note at the door that made foreigners feel inexplicable even when they read it -- the reason why it is inexplicable is because it ...... Not to mention that this is the official language of the United Kingdom, which is French, it is hard to believe that the Britons who are still speaking Old English at this time will know the new English written by Kobayashi, which has been reformed many times in modern times.

Therefore, what Kobayashi wrote was not only incomprehensible to the Japanese, but also to the British.

However, the effect of secrecy was unexpectedly received.

【Oh...... Come here so soon, Mr. Moji, tell me what you've investigated? 】

Completely different from Kobayashi's high-spirited spirit who had just taken office, Moyoshi looked as if he had been BJ by some man of unknown origin, his face was pale, his body was weak, his eyelids drooped, and he looked like he was about to die.

[Huh? What's wrong with you? 】

【Dr. Kobayashi ......】

[From now on, call me Minister Kobayashi! ] 】

[Headquarters?] …… Oh, Lord Hon, I want to kill myself by seppuku......]

[Nani?! 】

It turned out that at the base of the city wall, Moji's illusion was completely shattered - eight white shrimp corpses, one by one, were displayed there.

[The eight white shrimps were all wiped out...... Is that so? 】

[Yes, sure enough...... Still is...... It's a step late, and it looks like my life has come to an end......]

After saying this sentence intermittently, Moji fell to the ground with a thud and lost consciousness.

[Cheer up, Mr. Moyoshi, you'll be fine, even if you can't recover the dead (writing this, I think it's funny O(∩_∩)0), I'll intercede for you in front of Hosokawa-sama, if you give up your life and dreams so easily, then it's impossible to become One Piece...... Phew, that's not right! Anyway, you can't faint now, this case has just begun, and I need a lot of help......]

Kobayashi shouted loudly as he shook Moji's shoulder.

It was at this time that Ke'er ran over drunk.

[Doctor Kobayashi, Doctor Kobayashi, do you still have sobering pills there? I have a terrible headache right now, and I want to vomit, could you please give me some medicine? 】

【Sobering medicine?】 I still have some ...... here By the way, you're here at the right time to be my assistant. 】

Detective assistant? It's the first time I've heard this strange term.

The two ashigaru guarding the gate of the city looked curiously at the two adults standing at the city wall.

Xiao Lin looked at the body of the white shrimp, witnessed the latter's tragic death, and said with emotion:

[The time of the deceased's death was roughly thirty minutes ago...... Oh yes, even a quarter of an hour ago, judging from the condition of the wound, it should have been a sharp weapon such as a sharp knife or an awl to forcibly peel the deceased from the shell...... Wrong! The shell is also obviously damaged, and it smells of soy sauce and bamboo charcoal...... I understand that the deceased was brutally roasted to death in the raging flames. 】

Ke'er, who had just woken up, hid in a cold sweat and listened.

【Dr. Kobayashi...... Oh no, Minister Hon, is it necessary for you to say it so horribly? Everyone can see that the dead are ...... After all, it was just a few white shrimps, and they were killed...... Ah! Don't be foolish anymore, even I, a layman, can see that it couldn't be simpler, these white shrimp have just been roasted and eaten by someone. 】

[Ke'er-kun, you can't just take it lightly, I still can't figure it out...... I guess I want to kill them for sure. In a cruel way that can even make people feel obsessive. In the end, what kind of hatred does the prisoner have for these white shrimps......]
