It was already evening after the funeral, and the victor who had just sent his girlfriend away was walking on the side of the street with a suit in a bit of a daze, and his girlfriend's face seemed to be still in front of him.

The laughter of passers-by woke up Katsuto and reminded him of tomorrow's work.

It's desperate to think about dealing with a bastard boss, if it weren't for the excessive work pressure, if it wasn't for the excessive overtime, if it wasn't for the bastard boss who pushed the blame on him after an accident, if he cared a little more, his girlfriend wouldn't have reached this point.

Katsuto suddenly paused, raised his head in astonishment, a young man in a black dress didn't know when he was standing in front, as if he was waiting for him, he thought about it, it seemed to be the young detective reported on TV, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Why is the detective here?

"You ......"

"Mr. Katsuto," Gao Cheng nodded slightly, "Do you have time?" ”

In a nearby bar, Gao Cheng ordered a non-mixed Coke under the bartender's stunned gaze, but the decadent-looking Shengren next to him asked for a drink.

Katsuto is the young man who was outside the mourning hall at the farewell ceremony before, because his girlfriend's suicide seems to be quite self-blaming, coupled with the bitterness of work and life, he subconsciously wants to get drunk.

As a social animal, he still has the ability to drink, but when Gao Cheng deliberately asked for Coke, he was still a little cramped and uncomfortable.

He never knew he could order Coke here, and it was a failure......

But no one would come here to order Coke, right?

Shengren's thoughts continued, and he sat down with Gao Cheng and chatted.

"Alcohol paralyzes the brain, so how can I touch alcohol, at most and a little," Gao Cheng said when he got the Coke and was distressed about the price, "So you have no idea that your girlfriend is suicidal?" The last time we met, she entrusted me to find you......"

"It's me, I'm sorry Yuriko......" Katsuto lowered his head.

"Since the work pressure is so high, haven't you considered changing jobs?"

"Resign? But ......" Katsuto smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry."

Gao Cheng knew that he had asked superfluous words, and that the "society first" thinking of Japanese society was fundamentally different from his concept.

The impact of lifetime employment is so great that it has become a social problem, and even such young people rarely use resignation to solve problems.

The girl who committed suicide this time is still a graduate of the University of Tokyo, this kind of famous college student can be said to be the existence of the social elite, and the suicide was also because of pressure, but he only condemned the company in the suicide note.

When it came time to solve the problem, suicide was still on top of the choice of resignation......

"Didi!" The mobile phone on Shengren's body suddenly rang, and he hurriedly answered the phone, and he shook his waist again and again.

"Yes, Minister, I'll go over ......"

"What's wrong?" Gao Cheng watched Shengren finally put away his mobile phone in frustration, and said in surprise, "Do you have to go to work today?" ”

"No," Katsuto said, "Today is the minister's day off, and I used to accompany me to practice kendo......

Gao Cheng's eyebrows jumped slightly: "Your company also has a special kendo field?" ”

"It's a dojo in the business district, and the owner is our minister......

"If you're a sparring partner, I'll help you go."

"Huh?"

"I happen to be going over there," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "Although I feel like you need to exercise to vent, it's too much to accompany your boss at this time......"

"Does Detective Joto know kendo?" Katsuto hesitated, "The minister is very powerful, and he has won the championship of the kendo tournament, maybe he will be injured......

"It's nothing if it's just a sparring partner," Gao Cheng thought for a moment, "How much time will it take?" ”

"By 10 o'clock," Katsuto said embarrassedly, "I'd better go by myself......"

"Since it's a dojo, there's no need to pull your subordinates over, right?"

Gao Cheng shook his head.

Kendo is already very popular in Japan, and the dojo that the minister of a large company goes to will not be bad, not to mention that the other party was once a champion in a kendo competition, and it is impossible for the dojo to practice without a sparring partner.

Tokyo at night is still full of neon bustling, Gao Cheng and Katsuto went to the business district together, curiously followed to the dojo, and the impression of a private mansion-type dojo, a school dojo and a Metropolitan Police Department dojo are different, Katsuto is looking for a dojo in a commercial building.

"The 29th floor is our company, and the dojo is on the 12th floor," Katsuto looked at Gao Cheng who was following him, and took the initiative to introduce, "Everyone usually goes down to practice, but it's not as powerful as the minister, and if the Seongto detective likes it, he can also move." ”

Shengren still didn't ask Gao Cheng to help, perhaps because he didn't want to cause trouble to outsiders, so he suppressed the loss after attending the funeral and dressed himself up as a glamorous white-collar worker again.

"Don't worry about me." Gao Cheng had already called Xiao Ai, but he was not in a hurry to go back.

To be honest, he rarely goes to places like the dojo himself, and usually practices by himself.

The inside of the kendo is the same as that of an ordinary dojo, with a wide wooden floor but a more luxurious appearance, and there are already many people wearing protective gear to fight back and forth, and the sound of bamboo knives hitting and shouting is very lively.

Gao Cheng looked at it for a while and understood, but he was also a little disappointed.

Opening a dojo in this kind of place is clearly for white-collar workers to vent their stress, and other aspects are very casual, except for the excitement, it is just lively.

Is it just to let the victors come to sparring to let the subordinates show their grievances and beat hard?

This minister is really talented......

"Haha, let's stop for a while, Mr. Kondo is still so powerful!"

In the corner of the dojo, a burly man wearing a kendo uniform who seemed to be the curator stopped everyone, and the middle-aged man called Kondo opposite also sweated a lot after taking off his mask, but his breath was very steady.

"I train as soon as I have time, if I put it in ancient times, I would also be a swordsman," the middle-aged man looked quite serious, "If it weren't for the lack of time, where would it be the turn of those juniors in the current kendo competition?" But Iwakawa, you said you'd sell me that famous knife last time......"

"I also want to get Kikuchiyo, but unfortunately it's a step too late," the curator regretted, "I haven't found out about Kikuchiyo's whereabouts yet." ”

Kikuchiyo?

Gao Cheng's ears moved.

It seems to be the ancestral famous knife of the Suwa family in the past, and it also caused a murder, and Yuji Suwa is still in prison.

"It's a pity," the middle-aged man shook his head, suddenly noticed the victor who brought Gao Cheng into the dojo, and frowned, "Why did you just come here?" Because I'm looking for you because you're good at swordsmanship! ”

"I'm sorry, Minister, I'm ...... today"

"Forget it, hurry up and change your clothes!"

The middle-aged man looked impatient.

A newcomer is a newcomer, and he is not sensible at all, if it weren't for the sake of carrying the black pot for himself, where would he stay at the headquarters......

Gao Cheng changed into a white kendo uniform in the lounge, feeling quite absent for a long time.

It's been a long time since I've practiced swordsmanship like before, and now I'm just avoiding being a hand boy and occasionally getting familiar with swordsmanship at home.

With his current swordsmanship, he has almost reached the apex of this world, and it is impossible to be as outrageous as the Toya Lake Silver Soul World......

"Hello." When Gao Cheng sat down, he nodded politely to an uncle with deep eye sockets on the side, but the other party just responded lightly and ignored it, just a little surprised by Gao Cheng's age.

There is no one next to him who is about the same age as Gao Cheng, at least they are all in their 2 or 30s.

Normally, Gao Cheng is still in college at this age, or he will not come to this kind of occasion.

glanced at Gao Cheng suspiciously, and the uncle's gaze turned to the field.

As Gao Cheng thought, this is just a kendo hall for white-collar workers to release pressure, and naturally there will be no masters, but Minister Kondo is an exception.

"That friend of yours is going to be unlucky again," the uncle said, "It's not easy to practice with Minister Kondo, Minister Kondo's strength, it's no problem to fight one or two......"

"Oh."

Gao Cheng saw that he was misunderstood as a friend of Shengren, and he didn't explain.

Although it doesn't have much to do with it, it's just that I met twice because of the suicide case, but it's also a passer-by's friend.

It's already night in the field of katsu kendo uniform protective gear.,It's really okay from the point of view of the action.,At least it's already very powerful in this group of ordinary white-collar workers.,It seems that he must have been the head of the kendo club in the school before.。

Gao Cheng's attention was on the middle-aged man opposite.

He is said to be the champion of kendo competitions, but Gao Cheng is quite unfamiliar with kendo competitions in this world, and he has only seen a student competition in Osaka once, so he doesn't know what the strength of a kendo champion is.

One beats two...... Probably nothing, right?

"Bang Bang!!" The victor in the field was obviously at a disadvantage, but he was quite struggling in the warm-up stage, and he retreated again and again after the middle-aged man broke out, and was quickly defeated, even if he was protected by protective gear, he still felt pain when he saw Gao Cheng.

The gap is too big, and it's simply bullying......

Gao Cheng couldn't bear to look at it directly, but he couldn't help much.

It's not difficult for the winner to win, but the other party is also the minister of the winner, and it will be even worse if you lose to the winner.

"It's so useless!" The middle-aged man was a little disappointed, "Why is it so much worse than last time?" Let's have one more......"

Gao Cheng was stunned and looked at Katsuto who was sitting on the ground panting.

This guy can't sleep all day, right? Speaking of which, it was indeed an all-nighter last night......

"I'm sorry," looking at Katsuto who wanted to get up strongly, Gao Cheng raised his hand, "How about I?" ”

"Huh?" The middle-aged man looked at Gao Cheng, who looked like a teenager, in amazement, and felt a little familiar, "Who are you?" Okita in Kyoto? ”

Thinking of Okita Soji, the middle-aged man's face was slightly gloomy.

A high school student from Kyoto came all the way here......

"No," Gao Cheng met everyone's inquiring gaze speechlessly, "We're just a little bit alike......

"Nonsense! What kind of mess is a kid messing with?! The middle-aged man was even angrier.

"Uh, actually, I'm okay with my kendo," Gao Cheng said, "Okay?" Just practice anyway. ”
