Kazuma handed over Shimato Marina, who was still in tears, to the social workers who cooperated with the police to appease him, and he went home with Jinguji Tamamo, waiting for Aramaki to return to the Gongan headquarters to retrieve Nishida Shun's file.

As soon as he got home, Jinguji Tamamo picked up his school bag: "I'll help you ask the professor for leave." The reason is that you suddenly have appendicitis. ”

"Appendicitis is too much, isn't it? If you want to go under surgery, why don't you choose a light disease? And Ma said.

"No, appendicitis is just right, so that you can naturally recuperate for a few days, and then it will be Golden Week. That way you'll have more than a week to do what you want. ”

He Ma thought about it, and it did make sense.

But he still has a question, he looked at Tamamo: "I thought...... You're going to come along. ”

"If I encounter a battle scene, I will become a burden. I can't support you until you grab a motorcycle, like Miss Sasuri Kitakawa. If it had been me that night, it would have been too late for you to come to your rescue. ”

Kazuma originally wanted to say, "You can block the bullet with you", but now that Tamamo said this, he swallowed it back into his stomach.

"Have a nice trip." He said this to Tamamo.

By the way, Chiyoko and Shigeru had already set off for school at this time.

Tamamo smiled and nodded, turned around to leave, suddenly remembered something, turned back to Kazuma and said, "I'll call Honami back, so that you have a car and a companion." ”

"No, no." and horses waving hands.

Tamamo insisted: "This can have a response, Honami has experienced the Osaka hostage incident, and it must come in handy." Moreover, if you take a girl with you, it is easy for people to let their guard down. You see, the social worker who just came to take over Marina is a man and a woman in pairs. ”

Social work was born out of the original church volunteer, but now with the development of psychology and sociology, it has expanded into a highly professional profession, and social workers generally act together in both men and women, so that there is no gender barrier regardless of the gender of the client.

Reasoning with the horse, what Yuzao said made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

After Tamamo left, Kazuma was the only one left in the house - no, Senior Brother Hanajo was still sleeping in his house on the second floor.

Idle, he grabbed a screwdriver and began to check his telephone.

At present, the battery miniaturization technology is not very good, and the small battery power is too small, so the bug will generally be connected to the ready-made power supply. The telephone is a very suitable place to install bugs, and in this era, telephone lines have a little electricity, and basically have no power, which is suitable for bugging.

In addition, there are various lighting equipment, and the bugging device starts charging as soon as the lights are turned on at night.

People can do without nightlife at night, but they can't do without turning on the lights.

After checking the telephone, Kazuma began to check his own electric lights.

Halfway through the inspection, the horse heard the sound of brakes outside.

He put the light bulb back in the lampshade, got out of his chair, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, Nanjo Honami hurried into the dojo.

"Slow down, the sound of this knocking footsteps doesn't look like you, I thought Mikako also skipped class." And the horse quipped.

Honami Nanjo stared at Kazuma for several seconds, then rushed up and gave him a big hug.

Wama: ???

Honami: "Danko called the communication room of our school building and said that you were almost dead from being attacked by gangsters, and asked me to go back to the dojo to say goodbye to you." ”

"Damn, do you believe that? If that's the case, you must go to the hospital, okay! ”

"I know it's fake! But when I think about it, Egg won't make such a joke for no reason, it must be a very urgent situation! I'll just ......"

Kazuma raised his left hand and scratched his head, then patted Honami on the back with his right hand: "She's just too lazy to say too much, just find a reason to run back desperately." This egg is very bad-hearted. ”

When he said this, he thought in his heart: "You did a good job with eggs, you did a good job!" ”

Kazuma stroked Honami's hair with his hand, smelling the beautiful white plum fragrance on her body, if it weren't for the fact that there was a tomorrow in Tokyo waiting for him to save, he really wanted to hold the girl like this all the time.

However, now he could only temporarily separate from the girl, and took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"No, I have." Honami took out her embroidered handkerchief and was about to wipe her face, when she suddenly came back to her senses, snatched his handkerchief before Kazuma took it back, and wiped it beautifully.

Wiping away the sweat and tears on her face, Honami kicked the handkerchief back into her pocket naturally, then took out the makeup case and quickly touched up her makeup, then looked at Kazuma and asked, "So what the hell is going on?" I still don't think the eggs are okay and won't joke like this...... No, she thinks you'll run away when I'm late! ”

Kazuma: "That's probably what happened. It's like this—"

Next, he sat down in the dojo with Honami, and told everything about what happened this morning, from his own speculation that Nishida Shun had a problem, to the little courage of Toide.

"It's so pitiful, Marina, is she really okay? Sure enough, let's recruit her into the dojo and let us all support her together, okay? Honami said.

"Let's trust the social workers here. The important thing is to ask for information from Nishida Shun and find out who is behind all this. Kazuma clenched his casserole-sized fist and slammed it on the wooden floor of the dojo.

Honami nodded: "Yes, yes." What do you want me to do? The Suzuki butler is waiting outside in the car, do I still need to call my family's security manpower dispatch company? ”

Kazuma told Honami before, and recently tried to let the Suzuki butler follow her to protect her safety, and it seems that she listened well.

"With Suzuki's butler as a backup, it's almost enough. It's best not to let the Nanjo Foundation get too involved in this matter. ”

Honami nodded: "Okay." ”

As he spoke, the doorbell rang.

Kazuma said, "It may be Aramaki." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three steps and two steps around the courtyard.

"Not walking well at the front door syndrome" seems to have been transmitted from person to person among the guests of the Kiryu family.

"Miss of the Nanjo family? Isn't this good, or is it that the Nanjo Foundation is ready to participate in the production of police equipment for the SAT troops, so first get acquainted with this bastard? ”

Honami replied very naturally: "Grandpa really has such an idea, and he wants to fight for the production of a new night vision device for the Self-Defense Forces." My family has a 30% stake in Xizhi Electric, and if we can win this order for them, we can expand our family's voice in the shareholders' meeting. ”

Hema: "Tell me about the case, tell me about the case!" ”

"It turned out to be Aramaki San, and I was still trying to figure out if I missed a key senior police official. Now I'm sure I haven't met you. Honami said, "I'm glad I will." ”

"I'm Gongan, not a policeman, and it's normal that Miss Nanjo hasn't seen me. But I know you, after all, you're also very active in the Osaka hostage incident - I mean, with Kiryu-sensei. ”

Aramaki said as he pulled a cushion over the side of the horse and sat down.

Honami got up: "I'm going to make tea......"

"No, no, just keep it simple. Miss Nanjo, you should also participate in the investigation, so it's best to listen to it together. As he spoke, he took out a large brown paper bag from his briefcase, opened the seal, and poured out a stack of papers from it.

"First of all, it is the whereabouts of Nishida Shun, because he is also a person involved in the incident, so his whereabouts must be reported to the police every day, if he is not cheating, he should rehearse the new stage play he created in this small theater these days."

Aramaki said as he pushed the top document of the pile to Kazuma, and pointed to what looked like a photo of the main entrance of the theater.

Kazuma glanced at the address of the theater and realized that he had no clue where it was.

This is also normal, he has only traveled for a year, and he has never been to most places as big as Tokyo.

Seeing Kazuma's expression, Aramaki added, "This theater is located upstream of the Kanda River, about half an hour's walk from the URB band's practice room. ”

And the horse said "oh".

Aramaki continued, "Regarding this morning's incident, Tazaburo found this at the scene. ”

He placed a photograph on top of the document he had just made.

The photo shows a physiotherapy device sold by Welfare Technology.

Aramaki: "But considering that this physiotherapy device has been selling so well in Tokyo recently, and many families in the same community have bought it, this is not a key piece of evidence. ”

Kazuma: "Didn't you actually try out this physiotherapy device?" ”

"I tried it, and several people, including me, tried it after writing a suicide note, but nothing happened. This is a very ordinary electromagnetic physiotherapy device. ”

“…… Have you ever tried listening to URB's songs while using this physiotherapy device? And Ma asked again.

"We've tried it, we've tried everything we can think of. We even used the conference room of the headquarters to restore the interior furnishings of the URB practice room, which was useless. ”

At this time, Honami finally couldn't help but interject: "What's wrong with this physiotherapy device?" I remember when I told Ma about the case just now, I didn't mention any physiotherapy equipment. ”

He Ma remembered that he didn't say anything about the physiotherapy device, after all, it seems that this thing has nothing to do with the case now, so he hurriedly summarized it briefly with Honami.

Honami frowned: "Welfare technology? I have an impression...... Oh yes, isn't that Shibyu Takusa's main customer? I have met the chairman of Welfare Technology at some cocktail parties, called ...... What's going on? ”

"Kawakawa Horyu." Aramaki added for Honami.

Honami nodded: "Yes, yes, that's it." I have a very bad impression of him, because he is obsessed, and he always talks about what science can bring happiness to people, and he wants to be the messenger of happiness for others, and he doesn't know what to do.

And while he was talking, he leaned on people, especially young girls, and naturally hugged people's waists.

"I saw him once at a cocktail party, and he smelled of cheap tobacco on his body, so he shamelessly leaned on my side, and I ran away under the pretext of picking flowers, and threw his business card in the trash when I left the hall. Then I said I had an upset stomach and went straight home. ”

Aramaki nodded: "Consistent with the information we have, this person likes to do things to young girls, and his private life is very chaotic. ”

And Ma silently put this person's name in the small book in his heart.

The man who did things to the girl, and the horse, as a gentleman, felt that his sin was extremely unforgivable.

Well?

He Ma suddenly said: "Hechuan Fallong, what does it have to do with the No. 1 victim this time, Hechuan Xingzi?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Aramaki said, "Hoshiko Hekawa is a stage name, and it was only given a few years ago. Kawakawa Horon was a big name given by his parents when he was born, and it hasn't changed for many years. ”

And Ma stumbled: "Is it a coincidence?" But...... Will there be too many coincidences this time? With so many coincidences, there must be some kind of inevitability hidden. ”

"It must be our task to find what is hidden in this." Aramaki paused, and then took out another copy from the stack of documents and put it in front of Kazuma, "After the announcement of Takeshi Okada's death this morning, incidents of varying degrees have occurred in the 23 wards of Tokyo, and even there is movement on the Kanagawa side.

"Most of them were fan troubles, ninety percent of the incidents didn't pose a threat to anyone, and the remaining ten percent were mostly self-harm cases. There were only three vicious cases.

"One is the unfortunate Toide classmate this morning, and then there is a family in Mitaka City who has attempted suicide by burning charcoal, and the preliminary investigation shows that it was the mother who drugged the father, son, and daughter, and then burned charcoal to commit suicide in breakfast.

"As a result, when the neighbor came to deliver the reading board, he found that the husband didn't seem to go out to work, so he became suspicious and called the police, and now the whole family is in the rescue."

He Ma frowned: "If this is an ordinary music fanaticism, it's fine, if it's artificially caused, I'm going to give the people who caused all this." ”

Honami: "What about another vicious incident? ”

Aramaki hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "The last event, don't talk nonsense. A policeman with a gun, a fan of URB, pulled out a gun at a police station this morning and shot his boss and colleagues, and finally killed himself by swallowing a gun. The Metropolitan Police Department is ready to press this down and cover it up with a death in the line of duty. ”

Kazuma: "Can the person who was shot agree?" ”

"The person who was shot is nothing serious, the most serious one is only a moderate injury, and it's too late to be promoted for some reason." Aramaki said.

Honami's mouth is open in an O-shape.

Kazuma: "Thanks to the Japanese police revolver garbage." ”

Aramaki continued: "There are some less important information materials in the future, you can look through them and write them down, and tell me if there is anything you want to ask." Shun Nishida's theater starts at about 10 o'clock, and he himself will come to the theater at 1 o'clock at noon and start conducting rehearsals. ”

Kazuma glanced at the wall clock in the dojo: "Okay, let's get ready and go." ”

Aramaki suddenly asked, "Are you skipping class?" Although skipping classes in college is quite common, be careful not to get enough credits to complete your studies. ”

Kazuma: "Don't worry, I have Jinguji Tamamo to help me plan everything, and I won't get enough credits." ”

Aramaki raised his eyebrows, then glanced at Honami: "So, which one is true love?" Or are you going to do a de facto 'big Olympics'? ”

Oku means harem.

Kazuma looked embarrassed, and was about to use these as usual with these apprentices to prevaricate, Honami spoke first: "Nishida Shun's previous resume, is it in these materials?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes, this one."

Aramaki immediately turned his attention to work, took out a copy from the stack of documents he brought, and put it in front of Honami: "This is his personal resume so far, but the experience of joining the Takarazuka theater troupe in disguise as a woman, the people involved are very tight-lipped about it." ”

Honami frowned slightly: "In this way, it makes people feel like 'there is something wrong with this experience'." ...... in a general detective story"

Kazuma: "This kind of problematic place in detective stories can often be smoke bombs, right?" ”

"No, it depends on what kind of school of detectives it is, in the case of the Benge school, because their dogma is not to make misleading narrative tricks, so there is a high probability that there is really a problem." Honami paused and sighed, "But the reality is not necessarily created by the author of the Benge School, maybe the Takarazuka Theater Troupe is really silent because of a man mixed in and messed around." ”

Kazuma: "Anyway, let's go meet this Nishida Shun first and find a way to knock out something." He was caught by me once, so he should have a certain fear of me, and we can take advantage of that. The best-case scenario is that he sees me running for him in a murderous manner, turns around and runs. ”

Aramaki said, "In that case, we'll arrest him right away." ”

"But be careful, he has an incredible ability to cross-dress, and he can become fast and good."

And Ma reminded.

Aramaki: "We know. This is mainly because he worked as a special effects makeup artist for several years before joining the Takarazuka Theater Company, and he was the top one. ”

Kazuma licked his lips, thinking that sure enough, the entry "person in the painting" also had a logical explanation, and he didn't give the other party the ability to disguise out of thin air.

This entry of the person in the painting should be because the other party has superb acting skills and can casually enter the play to play completely different roles, just like the person in the painting is as fickle.

Coupled with the hard power of a top special effects makeup artist, Nishida Shun has gained a strong ability to hide people's eyes.

At this time, Honami said, "I've probably read his resume." If there's nothing else to prepare, I think we're ready to go. ”

"Wait a minute." Aramaki said, then took something out of his briefcase.

A Walter PPK pistol with holster was placed on the wooden floor of the dojo in front of Kazuma.

"Just in case." Aramaki said.

Kazuma: "I'm not trained to use a pistol. ”

Kazuma has the ability to quickly draw a gun, but no one knows about this. He had always wanted to go to the Nanjo Foundation's security manpower dispatch company to learn how to use a gun, but he couldn't make it because he had been busy with this and that.

Giving guns to people who have not been trained is actually a very dangerous thing.

So Kazuma here intends to refuse this "little gift".

Aramaki said, "In the Osaka incident, you obviously used modern weapons such as Uzi, didn't you?" I believe that you can control a PPK, so I applied to the weapons management department for this gun, and this behavior was also approved by my superiors. ”

And Ma suddenly understood.

This gun is an official record gun on the Gongan side.

Gongan doesn't give Kazuma a written identification, but holding the gun is an admission of working for Gongan.

In the unlikely event that Kazuma dies and the gun is discovered by the police, the police will know that Kazuma died while working for Gongan.

Kazuma actually quite wanted this gun.

It's normal for a boy to like guns, and a guy who is almost thirty years old and bought a bunch of water bomb guns.

But Kazuma was still a little worried, so he asked: "I have this gun with me, in case I encounter a police inquiry or something, and it is found that I have a gun, this explanation is not clear, right?" ”

Aramaki asked rhetorically, "Are there any police officers in Tokyo who will stop Kiryu-sensei for your inspection?" ”

Kazuma: "Uh...... What if, for example, temporary workers are not sensible or something. ”

Aramaki smiled and said, "Don't worry, you need to pass an exam to prove that you can use firearms proficiently and safely before you can be issued." It's not an emergency now, just go through the process when it's over. ”

Only then did he pick up the holster and take out the gun.

It's a new gun, and it's been carefully maintained.

He Ma skillfully removed the magazine and confirmed the bullets inside.

However, with his current strength, he can't just weigh the weight of the magazine to roughly know how many bullets are inside, and he must look at the observation strip on the side of the magazine.

After confirming the bullet, he held the gun and was careful not to put his index finger into the trigger guard - this is a common mistake made by many beginners, and the military fan circle is commonly known as the "golden finger".

And the horse carefully pointed the muzzle of the gun towards the ceiling - the muzzle should not be pointed at anyone at any time except at the enemy.

He turned to the wall of the dojo and half-crouched on the ground, aiming at the poster of Nahoko Kawai on the wall.

He always felt that both of his knives were emitting an unpleasant aura.

But to be honest, Kazuma loves this beautiful little pistol very much, and he can't put it down.

Maybe it has something to do with his genre.

Sakamoto Ryoma, the most famous swordsman in modern times, once famously said: "This thing (referring to the revolver) is much easier to use than a knife!" ”

After playing around, he and the horse carefully closed the safety machine and inserted the gun back into the holster.

He was going to put the holster on his back - the holster was obviously on his left rib cage rather than his waist, and he had to take off his jacket before carrying the gun.

So he and the horse unbuttoned their coats.

Honami immediately stood up, came behind Wama, and helped him take off his coat and hold it in his hand.

Carry the holster with the horse and adjust it to the position suitable for drawing the gun.

He suddenly wanted to try his skills at drawing a gun quickly.

He stood up, motioned for Honami to step back, and then stood in the middle of the dojo, through the door to the courtyard, facing the large cherry tree that had begun to fall outside the door.

Kazuma closed his eyes and remembered how to activate the Quick Draw Skill.

Then he found that the way the skill was originally launched for the holster on his waist had changed according to the position of carrying the gun.

This system is quite smart.

The moment he opened his eyes, Kazuma activated his skills.

So he pulled out his gun and opened the insurance in one go.

Aramaki exclaimed, "Oh, soon! ”

Honami put his coat on his arm and laughed and applauded.

Aramaki: "It seems...... The rumors that you have renovated Beichen are true. ”

He Ma suddenly felt that this world was a world where everyone knew that Beichen was good at using guns.

Aramaki may have known this, so he gave Kazuma a whole gun.

He Ma put away the gun and took a deep breath: "Okay, ready to go." ”

Honami unfolded his coat and flattened it, stepped forward to put it on Kazuma, and helped him sort out the shape of his coat so that people could not see the existence of the holster.

As she worked on it, she asked Kazuma, "Do you still have a knife?" ”

"You can't bring a real knife, it's too obvious. But we're all from the kendo club, so it's normal to carry a wooden knife. ”

"Understood. I only brought my own bamboo knife, and I will get one from the ashram warehouse later. ”

Honami helped the horse get dressed and went to the storehouse.

As soon as the girl left, Aramaki put on a serious expression: "I still don't recommend taking Miss Nanjo there, there are too many women among the victims of this incident, and I have a bad premonition." ”

Kazuma: "Don't worry, Honami is very strong, very strong. Otherwise, Tamamo wouldn't have insisted that I take her with me. ”

Aramaki hesitated for a moment before saying, "I see." ”

Then he wanted to bow deeply with the horse, and his head was about to touch the wooden floor of the dojo.

"Please, Kiryu-sensei."

Kazuma: "Leave it to me." ”

At this time, Honami came out with a bamboo knife and handed one to Kazuma.

The two of them carried bamboo knives on their backs and glanced at each other.

Honami looked very happy, and the moment she met Kazuma's gaze, she put away her smile and became serious - this is not the occasion to laugh after all.

Kazuma: "Let's go!" ”

Honami nodded slightly: "Let's go." ”

He Ma strode towards the gate of the gate dojo and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, subconsciously humming the famous Soviet song "Departure".

Aramaki raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.
