At eight o'clock in the morning, Kiryu and Ma, who were practicing in the morning, watched the sleepy-eyed Kitagawa Saori appear in the corridor outside the dojo door.

"Kitagawa, do you need Nanjo's car to take you to school?" And the horse asked.

Beichuan Shaxu glanced at Hema: "You don't have to bother, I haven't changed my school uniform yet, so I wear this dress to go to school and make the teaching director crazy." ”

"And send you home to change your clothes?" And the horse asked again.

"Are you an idiot? In this case, of course, you have to skip the morning class. I'm going to wait until the morning rush hour is over, then take the tram home to change my clothes and go to class at a leisurely pace. ”

Kazuma: "It's not good to skip class. ”

"You have to take care of it."

"Okay, I don't care. I improvised a main theme for Anno-san's film yesterday, so come over and help make it up. ”

"Why should I help you make up the music?" Kitagawa Shauri shouted impatiently, "Climb! ”

After saying that, she went to the bathroom.

He Ma scratched his head, he originally thought that this dead tsundere in Beichuan Shaxu would come over to arrange music while scolding, and become Hema's special arranger, but he didn't expect this trick to work.

It seems that the favorability is not enough.

It doesn't matter with the horse, anyway, there will definitely be a professional sound supervisor and arranger who will come and help him, he just needs to direct these people to create the music he remembers.

At this time, the idea of Hema was still to finish the life and death fight of the cyberpunk sword hero whose name had not yet been determined, so he retired to the rivers and lakes and concentrated on marching towards the throne of the police director.

So he didn't think about learning to arrange music by himself, anyway, it was over.

In the future, learn a shakuhachi.,Vassalage elegance part-time brush BUFF and it's over.。

Kazuma thought while continuing to swing the sword - this kind of basic training can't be lost, Kazuma suspects that if you don't do basic training, the kendo level experience will be lost.

He didn't want to wait for the experience to start feeling distressed.

At this time, Nanjo Honami came to the kendo arena and smiled as soon as he saw Kazuma: "It's been a long time since I've been practicing with you in the morning, so I'll come along." ”

"Yes, welcome." Kazuma laughed.

**

Ten o'clock in the morning, Sakurada Gate Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters Building.

The Kandagawa Serial Murder Special Investigation Headquarters is holding a plenary investigation meeting.

The meeting used the lecture hall used for the press conference, and Wuyang was full of people.

On the rostrum, there was a row of high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the presiding officer was the Metropolitan Police Department Kato Police Officer, and the gold watch on his wrist could be seen clearly even from the audience.

There were three other high-level people wearing gold watches like this, and the only one who did not have a gold watch sat at the very edge.

"Let's get started." Kato motioned to the acting head of the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division 1, who was presiding over the meeting.

So the meeting began, and the search teams took turns to report on yesterday's situation.

Yoshiaki Shimagata was the first to report because he was in charge of the scene investigation of the latest victims.

After everyone had finished speaking, Kato said, "It seems that there is no decisive progress, the island police department, do you have any opinion on the latest victim?" ”

"I don't have any opinion. If it was a separate case, I would have decided that it was suicide and started writing a closing report. ”

Shimagata Yoshiaki's words immediately caused a lot of discussion.

At this time, someone in the back row raised his hand.

Kato pointed to the back row: "You come and give me your opinion." ”

It looks like he doesn't remember the name of the person sitting in the back row, so that's all he can be.

A young man stood up in the back row and shouted, "I wonder if it's some kind of copycat?" Only the first victim was a real homicide, and the others were suicides imitating the victims? ”

As soon as the young man's voice fell, someone immediately retorted: "We haven't released the details of the serial killings, how can they imitate them?" ”

The young man argued: "The place where the crime took place is Kandagawa, and as an area where university students live, rumors spread faster than ordinary communities.

"The victim is also an underground band member, and these people already have a wide range of underground information distribution channels, and it is very likely that they will spread to the fan base through other band members!"

Inspector Kato raised his hand and motioned for the young man to stop talking.

"What's your name?" Kato asked.

"My name is Twilight Three, the head of the police patrol." The young man replied.

"Your idea is interesting, Patrol Minister, but it won't do our search any good. Does anyone else have any other opinions? ”

Kato scanned the audience, and finally reluctantly stopped at the gongans who were present in the corner of the venue, and nodded the name of the person who raised his hand: "Aramaki, what do you want to say?" ”

"I want to say, this may be a ** incident, the suicide scene has been searched for ghost-like words, and the death method of entering the refrigerator to freeze yourself to death is also very ** style, they will pursue a sense of ritual through this strange action......"

Someone shouted and interrupted the words of the wild scroll: "Bagaya Road, you just want to turn the case into a ** case, and then lead the search, right!" ”

"Do you still want to say that this ** may be supported by KGB?"

Aramaki said unhurriedly, "It could also be the CIA, they are very good at these." ”

At this time, Kato said: "Until more evidence is found, we still believe that this is a serial murder incident caused by a pathological serial killer." If there is any information on the Gongan side that can prove that this is a religion-related incident, you are welcome to share it with us. ”

Aramaki: "There is no information on this yet. ”

After saying that, he sat down directly.

As soon as Yoshiaki Shimagata withdrew his gaze from Aranaki, the white bird detective sitting next to him tilted his head and said to him, "I feel that Aramaki has something in his hand." ”

This kind of search meeting will not strictly follow the departmental seating order, so Shiratori in the fourth class has the opportunity to sit next to the island side in the first class.

Shimagata Yoshiaki replied: "They want to share information with us generously, but I will suspect that there is fraud." ”

"Even if you share, you don't say it at the meeting, you use a fax machine." Shiratori had a teasing tone.

Yoshiaki Shimakata smiled.

Shiratori Akira continued: "But now that the search has indeed entered a dead end, there is no murder weapon, and the forensic autopsy looks like a suicide no matter how you look at it......"

Yoshiaki Shimagata interrupts Shiratori: "I think it's possible that under coercion, the victim walked into the refrigerator by himself, and then the refrigerator was sealed......"

Shiratori interrupted Yoshiaki Shimakata in turn: "How do you explain that there are no traces of struggle?" ”

"At first, I may have knocked on the refrigerator door and prayed, and then I was deprived of my strength by the cold, so I could only curl up and wait for death." Yoshiaki Shimakata replied.

"In that case, how can you not have any bruises on your hands? With the support of the desire to survive, people will burst out with unimaginable power. There must be bruises on the hands. ”

Yoshiaki Shimagata didn't reply, because he didn't know what was going on.

For the next hour, the search session came to an end in a cycle of unnutritious hypothesis-hypothesis rejection.

Yoshiaki Shimagata is actually not particularly depressed, as an old fritter of the Metropolitan Police Department, he has become accustomed to this kind of unsuccessful search meeting.

Once the case is so big that it is necessary to establish a search headquarters, the speed of solving cases will drop unprecedentedly, which is already the norm for the Japanese police.

According to Shimagata Yoshiaki's idea, the most effective way is to form a task force with capable personnel and give special powers to handle special affairs, but this does not work in the modern Japanese bureaucracy.

In order to coordinate the joint actions of the various departments, it is necessary to have a search headquarters so that there is a place for consultation between the departments.

Then everything will inevitably become slow.

After the meeting, Shimagata Yoshiaki stopped Akira Shiratori, who was leaving, and asked, "Did you really find nothing over there?" There's no information on the Pole side either? ”

Jidao is also very annoyed by this kind of serial killer, after all, Jidao still pursues order, even if it is an orderly evil, a chaotic and evil guy like a serial killer, they can't look at it.

Therefore, when the Japanese police encounter any serial murder case, they will ask Jidao to help collect information.

Jidao is also willing to sell face to the police, and he will be good at talking and doing things in the future.

This is the main reason why Shiratori, who is in the Fourth Section, was put into the search headquarters.

Shiratori shook his head and pointed to the smoking area next to him.

Shimafang Yoshiaki understood, followed Shiratori into the smoking area, then took the cigarette handed by Shiratori, then took out his zipo lighter and lit it, and then shared the flame with Shiratori.

After covering the lighter, Shiratori said, "The Kanto United is now busy dealing with the two new foreign gangs. ”

"Koreans and Chinese?"

"Yes, young people don't talk about martial arts, and the Kwantung United has already eaten several deflated."

"You mean, the Kanto United can't help with this incident?"

"I mean, this incident may have something to do with the Korean True Boxing Club and the Chinese Fushou Gang. There is reliable information that shortly before the serial killings, a new anesthetic was being popularized in the underground band of Kandagawa's activities......"

Shiratori said that his voice gradually lowered, and Shimagata Yoshiaki took over the conversation: "Do you suspect that these events are related to each other, and the anesthetic is being sold by the True Fist Club or the Fushou Gang?" ”

"That's what I thought, but...... Aramaki is in that state today, I know that guy, and he will say this, indicating that he already has a suspicion. ”

"Instigating someone to go into the refrigerator and commit suicide? Maybe you can consult a religious expert? ”

"Maybe." Shiratori shrugged, then pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, patted Shimakata on the shoulder, and turned to leave the smoking area.

His partner, Detective Takayama, and Yoshiaki Shimakata's partner, Keishi Yukida, were waiting outside.

**

The time advanced to the afternoon, Kiryu and immediately finished the day's classes at Tokyo University, and directly caught the classmates who were also freshmen in the kendo club and said, "You go and tell the minister, I have something to do today, and I need to take a leave of absence for club activities." ”

Although university clubs also participate in various college competitions, the course schedule of everyone in the university is different, so it is much more flexible than high school club management.

If you take a day off for something or something, there will be no seniors who will block you the next day and ask why you missed club activities.

After the classmate left with his leave information, Jinguji Tamamo asked, "Are you going to investigate?" ”

"Yes." Kazuma nodded, "Let's start with the underground band first." This morning, Chiyoko pretended to be interested in the underground band, and put a lot of words from Kitagawa Shaxu, so let's go to a few music houses commonly used by underground bands according to what she said. ”

Kazuma originally wanted to inquire about the information from Kitagawa Shaxuri by himself, but he didn't expect that in the end, Chiyoko would do it for him.

But it may also be that Kitagawa Shaxuri was arrogant and deliberately told Chiyoko.

Jinguji Yuzao tilted his head and thought about it, and then smiled: "I'll go with me too, I'm not here, and the two male seniors of the research society should be able to breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Kazuma looked at the Eye Palace Temple, and thought to himself, what have you done to the seniors, is it possible to let the seniors kneel on the ground and use them as chairs for you?

Jingu Temple, which made up the queen's posture with the horse's brain, feels quite emotional.

Jinguji Tamamo gently patted Kazuma's forehead with the book in his hand: "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about the queen form where you sit on two seniors as chairs." And the horse answered truthfully.

"So you want to see this, then go back and let the two seniors ......"

"No, no, no, don't bother the seniors. I don't want to see it that way, so let's go. ”

"Do you want to go by bus or subway?"

"Of course, Nanjo's car is too conspicuous, so I asked her not to send a car today." And the horse said.

Jinguji Tamamo blinked, and then put the library book that he had been holding in his hand back into his school bag.

Today's Yuzao is wearing a plain dress, and she looks like a young lady who has come out to go green, and she still has a good fragrance on her body.

"Then it's dating!" She said, "Why don't we separate first, and then meet in front of the statue of Hachiko, the loyal dog?" ”

Kazuma complained: "We're going to go directly to the Kanda River, the loyal dog Hachiko is in Shibuya, it's a long way away." ”

Jinguji Tamamo shrugged: "Okay." ”

Kazuma felt as if she was a little lost, so she said, "Why don't we go separate at the door and meet at a place near the Kanda River?" The meeting line is also stipulated, 'Have you waited for a long time?' ’”

"I've just arrived, too." Jinguji Tamamo interface.

He Ma scratched his head: "You've finished your line, let's just go straight to the next step." ”

"You mean you want to watch a movie?"

"I'm going to visit the Underground Band!" And the horse corrected.

The two of them just talked and left the campus of the University of Tokyo.

**

To be honest, Kiryu and Ma have never been to the scene of an underground band in their lives.

He has been to the Midi Music Festival, but he doesn't go to see underground bands, he sees the long-famous "above-ground" bands, what zero, Black Panther.

The most underground band he had ever heard of was probably the Universal Youth Hotel, but this one also became popular and became ground.

and Ma also went to Cui Jian's music festival once, this one must have been to see Cui Jian, what a flower girl, fake monks, all of which I listened to, all of them are famous songs that are popular all over the country.

Kazuma's impression of the performance of underground bands basically comes from films, television and anime works.

For example, "Saga Idol", the kind of underground band that plays with its head falling off, Wama still wants to see it once.

Now that he and Ma have entered this LIVEHOUSE, the first feeling is that it is dark and stuffy.

Apparently the ventilation here is not very good.

There was already a band on stage, but only the drummer was playing the drums, and the rest of the band was all smoking and chatting.

The band looks quite visual, and the guitarist is simply dressed up like an enemy soldier in the Fist of the Big Dipper, and the next moment they appear, they will be greeted with "You're dead".

At first, the band didn't notice that Wama and Jinguji Tamamo had entered the livehouse, and it wasn't until Wama got close to the stage that anyone saw Jinguji next to Kazuma.

He whistled flirtatiously.

He Ma has heard such a saying in his life: Most of the so-called people who play music are bastards, and they think about shooting every day.

Kazuma originally thought that this was too subjective and conjectural, but now the gang in front of him made him suddenly feel that the statement he had heard in his previous life might be right.

At this time, the only one of the musicians who did not have an instrument turned around, and then came to Kazuma and squatted down, but he looked at Jinguji completely: "Yo, there is a lost kitten here." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a canine." Jinguji Tamamo said with a smile.

The musician laughed, turned back to his friends and shouted, "She said she was a canine!" There is even a ...... who admits that he is a"

Before he could finish his sentence, the man flew backwards, knocking down the mixer on the edge of the stage, and then the whole person did another backflip, and then lay on the ground and did not move.

He Ma carried the bamboo knife on his shoulder, looked at the musicians who had not yet recovered and said, "Who else has a clean mouth?" ”

The others looked at the horse, as if they had been immobilized, and suddenly someone shouted: "Ah! Are you the ...... That Kiryu and Ma! ”

"Yes, I am the savior of Osaka and the recipient of the Kuixing Banner......"

"He's the same Kiryu and Ma." Jinguji Tamamo interrupts Kazuma's chanting again.

"Don't keep demolishing me, Yamato Nadeshiko."

"Don't let your husband get too carried away, it's also Yamato's job."

"But I'm not your husband." And the horse said.

Jinguji Tamamo just smiled and didn't speak.

He shrugged his shoulders and decided not to go any further, and he took a lunge straight to the stage as high as his chest.

The musicians were all terrified, except for the drummer who continued to play as if nothing had happened.

Kazuma took two steps forward, and suddenly noticed that the eyes of the musicians moved from him to the side, so he turned his head in confusion, just in time to see Jinguji Tamamo struggling to climb onto the stage.

Kazuma: "There's a staircase over there. ”

"I've climbed all the way." Jinguji said as he bent over and patted the dust on his skirt.

Kazuma took a step sideways a moment before she bent over, blocking the others' view.

"Thank you." When Jinguji straightened his waist, he smiled at Kazuma Waner.

Kazuma turned around and looked at the musicians: "I'm here to inquire with you about something, it is said that someone has been selling a new pill recently, saying that he can meet the god of music." ”

The guitarist, dressed as the Big Dipper, asked, "Are you a strip?" ”

"Not yet." And the horse replied.

"Then what are you asking this for?"

"I'm playing a detective game. If you don't say it, my bamboo knife will make you experience the feeling of weightlessness. ”

"The feeling of weightlessness? I really want to experience ......."

"Stupid, he said to let you fly and free fall, what people experience when they are in free fall is the feeling of weightlessness." The bass player twitched the back of the guitarist's head.

He Ma interrupted their interaction and asked, "So, how can I buy the medicine that can see the god of music?" ”

"You want to meet the god of music too?" The guitarist asked again.

"I don't want to, but if I can meet the god of kendo, I don't mind trying to compete with the god of kendo." And Ma said so, but he would never use it.

Because in his previous life, he Ma watched a large number of anti-drug propaganda films from childhood to adulthood, and he had the impression that there was related propaganda almost every year, and I don't know if it was only Guangdong or the whole country was so tight.

The school also organizes everyone to watch anti-drug movies from time to time, so anti-drug is engraved in Hema's DNA.

He Ma can't understand those public intellectuals who demand the legalization of the United States' opening up, and he subjectively believes that these people may not even have studied elementary school, so they have not undergone anti-drug education.

In the future, when he becomes a policeman, Hema will definitely implement the principle of seeing one and killing one.

No, you don't have to wait to be a policeman, in the process of investigating the case, you can give Yang the person who sells this kind of music god by the way.

Faced with Kazuma's question, the guitarist shook his head: "You give up, no one will tell you how to get this thing, you beat us all to death, you don't get any information." ”

"yes, then I'll give it a try." After saying that, he suddenly exerted his strength and knocked the guitarist out again, and then he looked at the bass player, "What about you?" Are you ready to fly too? ”

The bass player replied calmly, "I really don't know." It is said that the family of the god of music will give guidance to those who also love music, but I obviously don't love music enough, so I didn't get guidance. ”

Kazuma pursed his lips and looked back at Aikonomiji to ask for her opinion, and Jinguji met his gaze before replying, "I don't think he's lying." ”

Actually, Kazuma also thinks that the bass player is not lying.

"The family of the god of music, and the guidance, how does this feel more like ** than like **." And the horse muttered to himself.

Jinguji Tamamo: "I do feel that way, and the current situation is very suitable as the beginning of Cthulhu's new strange story." Strange beliefs that are quietly spreading, dead people with strange causes of death, this unfolding continues, even if you see an octopus tentacle monster, it's not strange. ”

"Shall I learn how to sail on land?" And the horse asked.

"It's okay to have a vicious dog."

Jinguji Tamamo responded to the stalk thrown by the horse, and suddenly she remembered that she had just said that she was a canine, so she said "Wang".

And the horse was shocked, you actually sold Meng at such a time?

Look at the occasion! Aren't the Japanese the most air-read?

At this time, Jinguji cleared his throat and winked at Kazuma.

Kazuma followed Jinguji's gaze and looked at the drummer who was still playing, and understood the meaning of Jinguji in seconds.

In fact, he had a similar idea: this drummer is so interested in playing with me, I am afraid that he loves music very much.

And just now the bassist said that those who love music will be guided by the dependents of the god of music.

Then this drummer looks like he can easily get guidance.

And the horse walked towards the drummer.

The drummer didn't look at the horse at all, and continued to play the drum kit at me, and in this airy and stuffy space, the rousing drum beat was a little out of place.

He Ma stood still in front of the drum kit and asked loudly, "May I ask you a question?" ”

The drummer raised his eyes and glanced at Kazuma, but without replying, he continued to play the drum.

It was as if playing the drums was the only meaning of his life.

But to be honest, Hema always felt that there was something missing in this person's drumming.

Although the drum beat is very dense and powerful, Kazuma can't feel the surging vitality he felt from the drums when watching the movie "Burst Drummer".

Is it because the plot of the movie has a blessing effect on the male protagonist's drums?

Kazuma recalled what the bassist had just said: the family of the god of music will give guidance to those who love music - does this mean that those who sell this kind of thing will target those who have encountered a bottleneck in music and are eager to break through?

It's a possibility.

He Ma decided to take a gamble, so he said contemptuously, "Your drum...... Sounds soulless. ”

The drummer stopped and looked straight at Kazuma, his eyes full of anger.

"Who are you?" He asked.

Kazuma: "I'm Kiryu Kazuma, a musician. Super awesome kind of musician. ”

Although Kazuma has decided to wash his hands after completing Anno's animation, it is no problem to get information by putting on a cup with the title of musician now.

Anyway, this awesome is not Kiryu and Ma blowing it themselves, it was someone else who helped him blow it, or it was in a professional music magazine.

The drummer sneered: "A person who writes beautiful sounds, and dares to call himself a musician? ”

"But the beautiful sound I wrote has been widely sung. Now in the late-night music program, people call every day to point out where the stars are. You don't think it was all done by me, do you? ”

Kazuma also returned the drummer with a sneer: "And you, still playing drums here, no one listens at all." ”

The drummer threw the drumstick and stood up, as if to beat the horse.

The bassist rushed over and stopped him: "Don't! You can't beat him! The lead singer and guitarist are still lying unconscious on the ground! ”

Kazuma continued to sneer, and tried to crook his son-in-law's mouth.

Then he pointed to Jinguji Yuzao beside him: "My friend, I also have a little experience in playing drums, why don't you let her show you?" ”

The drummer looked at Ayakoji Tamamo with hostility: "She? Hum! ”

Jinguji Tamamo looked at Kazuma with an embarrassed face: "I'm a good drummer, but I've never played a drum kit." ”

Kazuma: "It's all drums, you can do it!" ”

"Okay, I'll give it a try. I'll start with that, because it's the first time I've played, I'm probably only a little bit better than him. Jinguji said.

Wama: NICE taunt!

The drummer was full of hostility, and directly gave up his position and made a gesture of invitation to Jinguji Tamamo.

Jinguji Tamamo calmly took off the schoolbag and handed it to Wama, walked around behind the drum kit, took the drumstick handed by the drummer, and sat down.

"Let me see, what is this pedal for?"

She turned to the drummer and asked.

Kazuma looked at her expression and thought to herself, wouldn't it really be the first time she played a drum kit?

Feeling, she's quite excited?

At this moment, Jinguji Tamamo's expression looks like that of a little boy who has received a new toy.

The drummer didn't answer Jinguji's question, still glaring at her hostilely.

So Jinguji put on his own pedals and tried it, and the big drum at the bottom of the drum kit made a rich sound.

"Oh, I see." Jinguji changed pedals, so one of the several cymbals was fired.

"Oooh!" Jinguji is happier faster.

After trying out the pedals, I began to experiment with the tone of each drum one by one with a drum stick.

The drummer finally got impatient: "You stop acting!" If you can fight, you can fight! If you don't fight, you can get up! ”

"It's the first time I've used this, and I didn't play you. But this kind of thing, as long as you have enough experience playing percussion instruments, it won't be difficult to learn. I've even played chimes and ropes. ”

He Ma frowned, thinking to himself Nima, have you ever fought you? Is it the one that King Qin gave to King Zhao?

While complaining in his heart, Kazuma held the bamboo knife firmly to prevent the drummer from doing anything bad to Jinguji because he was too angry.

Jinguji is, after all, the weakest girl in the dojo.

Finally, Jinguji Tamamo tried all the drums and cymbals, she put down the drum stick and began to roll up her sleeves: "I totally understand!" Look at me! ”
