408. Engagement Gifts
Katano Takashi explained the reason and method of his killing, and shed tears of remorse.
"I really didn't think it would be filmed, because I had done it so well that I shouldn't have been discovered."
"There is no such thing as a seamless crime, as long as it is a crime, it will inevitably leave traces."
Shirakawa said, "That's it. ”
"Just what?"
Katano raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and looked at Shirakawa unwillingly.
"We didn't find a bear doll with a pinhole camera at all, because you're too weak-hearted."
Shirakawa smiled and stood up and left the lounge.
Katano Takashi let out a hysterical laugh,
"Haha, haha, I'll just say, I did it perfectly, you can't find out, no one will find out, you liars, liars."
Saya Shiraki ordered his subordinates to lock up the suspect and left the lounge.
"Kuraki-kun, have you been free lately?"
Shirakawa looked back at Saya Shiraki, "What?" Want to treat me to a drink? ”
"No, no, I've quit drinking, I just want to go with you to pick a gift for Zhongshan-kun."
Saya Shiraki shyly brushed the hair on her sideburns and whispered.
"For Nakayama-kun?"
Shirakawa asked, puzzled.
Saya Shiraki nodded, "Because he's engaged to Yuki." ”
"Engaged? Why didn't this kid tell me? ”
"He'll definitely tell you, Kuraki-kun, it's just a matter of time, Yuki and I are friends, so I found out in advance."
Saya Shiraki said with a smile.
"I see, when was it?"
"Yuki hasn't told me the exact date yet, but it should be the recent."
Saya Shiraki said with a smile.
"Okay, then this afternoon."
Shirakawa felt that he should also choose a gift for Shizuji Nakayama, after all, he was also half a student of his own.
And this incident is also expected, Shizuji Nakayama was able to come out of his grief, thanks to his childhood sweetheart Kakumi Yuki.
After lunch at the Metropolitan Police Department, Shirakawa and Shiraki Saya went to the bustling shopping mall.
"The last time we went shopping together was on the eve of Qixi Festival, right?"
Saya Shiraki said nostalgically.
"At that time, you also chose several gifts, and what did Mei Yi choose in the end?"
Saya Shiraki asked.
"Bracelets."
"You're dating now, aren't you?"
Shiraki Saya asked again.
Shirakawa nodded, "Sort of." ”
"What's counting?"
Saya Shiraki put his hands behind his back, leaned in front of Shirakawa, and asked curiously.
"It's that each other has a certain mind, but the relationship has not yet been determined."
Shirakawa said with a smile.
"Kuraki-kun, have you confessed?"
Saya Shiraki asked.
"Yes, I like Mei Yi very much, so I took the initiative to confess."
"What did Mei Yi say?"
"She didn't say yes for the time being."
Saya Shiraki was surprised by this answer, "What is the temporary non-consent?" Mei-san looks like Kuraki-kun too. ”
"Officer Shiraki, let's discuss what gift to give to Officer Zhongshan."
Shirakawa didn't expect that Saya Shiraki would gossip like a girl, but he had already said everything he could, and his purpose was very simple, that is, to make her not have any illusions about herself.
"Okay."
Shiraki Saya saw that Shirakawa was unwilling to continue talking about this topic, so he didn't continue to ask.
But she already understood Shirakawa's intentions, and although she had some regrets, she could only accept the reality.
After all, the timing of his appearance was wrong, and the age was also very different from Shirakawa, no matter how you look at it, Qianxue Meiyi and Shirakawa are a very good match.
The two jumped away from their relationship problems and chatted while shopping, just like normal friends.
"How about shoes?"
Shirakawa asked casually as he passed by a branded shoe store.
"No, no, no."
Shiraki Saya waved his hand and explained with a serious expression, "It's absolutely not okay to give shoes. Kuraki-kun didn't even know this. ”
“?”
Shirakawa was confused.
"Shoes and socks are taboo for gift-giving. Especially for colleagues or bosses, giving shoes or socks will make the other party have a misunderstanding that you want to trample people under your feet! I didn't want to trample Nakayama-kun under my feet. ”
Saya Shiraki explained.
Shirakawa opened his mouth, ignoring the difference between the national conditions of the island country and his homeland.
"What other gifts can't be given?"
"Don't give fragile items such as knives or porcelain, which have bad connotations of separation, breaking, etc. The gift for the bride must not be tea. "The daughter who marries out, the tea that is spilled", if the tea is sent, it will be misunderstood by the other party, and the bride will be unhappy if she is not allowed to return to her parents' home. ”
"Okay, I see, can I just give a gift?"
"Of course, you can, but you also have to pay for gifts."
Shiraki Saya felt that Shirakawa lacked common sense in this area, perhaps because he was too young to attend a friend's wedding.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-olds really don't need to think about these issues.
Saya Shiraki is different, she has already experienced many weddings with friends.
Shirakawa put on a posture of listening carefully and listened to the lecture with an open mind.
Shiraki Saya said with a smile,
"The amount should be avoided with 20,000 yen and multiples of 2. According to folk rumors, the number "2" can easily lead to a bad relationship between husband and wife. Generally, the amount of the gift money will be 30,000, 50,000, 70,000, etc. ”
"I see, I remember, is there anything else?"
It was the first time that Shiraki Saya had encountered something that Shirakawa didn't understand, and suddenly she had a sense of accomplishment, and she continued,
"Also, the gift money can not be given naked, you can buy a beautiful envelope at a convenience store or supermarket to wrap the gift money, if it is a wedding gift, the side of the banknote with the character must match the front of the envelope."
"And this kind of exquisiteness."
"Yes, Kuraki-kun will remember in the future, you have to do this when your friends get married and give gifts, otherwise you will be laughed at."
Saya Shiraki said proudly.
She finally found a sense of superiority in Shirakawa.
I used to think that Bai Chuan was better than himself in everything, and he knew so much at a young age, but he didn't expect him to be a rookie in terms of customs and habits.
"Okay, I remember."
Shirakawa smiled and said, "Thank you, Officer Shiraki. ”
"Don't be so outside, just call me Saya."
"Officer Saya."
"Well, I can't help it."
Saya Shiraki shrugged.
The two walked into a gift shop, where Shiraki Saya chose a decorative painting with bamboo on it, and Shirakawa chose a cervical massager.
"I'll send you back."
Saya Shiraki said.
"No, Officer Saya, I'll just take the tram back."
"Okay, we'll see you another day."
"Well, goodbye Officer Saya."
Shirakawa said goodbye to Saya Shiraki and took the train back to the apartment by himself.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the apartment, he saw Yano Komi, Ryota Shima, and Daisuke Furuhashi.
"Why are you here?"
"Shirakawa-chan! How can you take a leave of absence? ”
Yano rushed over excitedly, her eyes red.
Bai Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that they came here because of this incident.
"Yes, dear friend, what happened to you and you need to take a leave of absence, we can figure it out together."
Daisuke Furuhashi said.
Ryota Dao swallowed his saliva and asked weakly, "Is it that the game company needs a boss over there, and you want to go over to manage the company?" Can you take me with you, I also want to take a leave of absence. ”
"Shut up!"
Yano Komimi and Daisuke Furuhashi looked at Ryota Shima in unison.
Ryota Shima covered his mouth with both hands.
Shirakawa opened the door of the apartment, invited the three of them in, put away the wrapped gifts, and explained,
"It's a long story, but in fact, I am a long-lost descendant of a large family, and I was recently found by relatives and asked me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, so I can't go back to school."
"Do you want to go back and inherit tens of billions of family assets?"
Daisuke Furuhashi looked at Shirakawa with envy.
Ryota Shima and Yano Komi's eyes lit up, and they felt that this was a great possibility.
"I said you weren't an ordinary person!"
"Shirakawa-chan, have you really become a rich second generation?"
"Which big family is it?"
The three of you are very curious.
Bai Chuan replied with a wry smile, "I used to be a nobleman, but something has happened over the years and I am lonely." ”
"Which family is it?"
Yaki looked at Shirakawa intently.
"The Takahashi family."
Shirakawa said.
"Takahashi ???"
The three of them were stunned.
"It can't be the Takahashi family with the puppet perverted murderer Kita Takahashi and the puzzle murderer artist Nagakei Takahashi, right?"
Daisuke Furuhashi likes detectives, so he remembers these cases more vividly.
Yano Shinmi and Ryota Shima have also heard about the two cases that have been noisy on the Internet.
In short, the Takahashi family is now notorious and known as a crime family.
"Yes, it's that Takahashi, so I'm not fit to stay in school any longer."
Shirakawa said.
"Huh? How is it possible, Shirakawa-chan, you are a detective, how could you have something to do with the Takahashi family, you must have made a mistake, right? ”
Yaki asked in shock.
Furuhashi Daisuke nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes, it must have been a mistake, the case of the Takahashi family was solved by you, how could you be a member of their family?" ”
Ryota Shima swallowed again and said, "No wonder I always think that Shirakawa-chan looks a bit like Miss Yuran Takahashi, it turns out that you are really relatives." ”
"Shut up!"
Daisuke Furuhashi and Kokomi Yano looked at Ryota Shima again, sharing the same hatred.
Ryota Shima covered her mouth again.
"If I continue to stay in school, these things will always spread, and when the time comes, not only my life will be affected, but you will too."
Shirakawa said.
"But, no matter what your family is, it's none of your business, and we won't alienate you because of this."
Ya Ambi said firmly, a pair of eyes teary.
"I know, but I still have a lot to do."
"Do you still take the University Admissions Center exam?"
Yaki asked.
"Participate."
Shirakawa knew that Yano would always remember that promise, and he was afraid that because of his suspension, Yano would give up his efforts, lose his goal, and not be able to be admitted to a Tokyo university, so he was actually not sure whether he would participate or not.
This exam doesn't seem to mean much to him.
Ya Ambi nodded heavily and clenched his small fists,
"Then we agreed that we would be admitted to a Tokyo university together."
[Trigger Quest "Romantic Promise"]
[Requirements: Admitted to the same Tokyo higher education institution as Yanomi and Yano Shinmi, to complete your romantic agreement.] 】

[The following endings can be achieved]

[Random miracle drug: I can't be sure what disease can be cured.] 】
Wait a minute? How did the task be triggered?
What the hell is the second ending reward? It seems that Ya Ambition must not be allowed to fall, and she must be urged to study hard.
The last ending is a bit difficult, but the reward is exactly what you need.
Shirakawa looked at the system panel that suddenly popped up, and nodded to Ya Ambi Jimei,
"Okay, I remember."
"Shirakawa, then you don't go to school, do you want to invite a tutor to come to the house?"
Daisuke Furuhashi asked.
"I can't be sure yet."
Shirakawa decided to find a set of mock questions to test the water.
Of course, his own level will definitely be sent to death if he goes to the college entrance examination, but he can try the [Advanced Identification Technique] to see if he can identify all the answers.
If he can, then even if he wants to win the top spot in the college entrance examination, it's no problem, well, there is no such thing as a top student in the college entrance examination in the island country.
Admission is decided by universities based on the results of each subject submitted by the student and the interview performance.
"Damn, then we haven't seen you for a long time."
Yaki pouted.
"Yes, if you don't go to school, you won't participate in the cultural festival."
Daisuke Furuhashi asked.
"It's a shame that it wasn't a game company."
Ryota Shima sighed.
Shirakawa looked at them with a smile,
"Although I don't go to school, you can call me directly if you have something, and you can come to my house, and I won't move out, as for Ryota, you can go directly to work in a game company after graduation, of course, if you take the university entrance examination, the salary will be higher in the future."
"Really?"
Ryota Shima's eyes lit up.
Shirakawa nodded, "Yes, the game company welcomes you." ”
"Ah, what about us?"
Yaki Komihiro and Daisuke Furuhashi speak in unison.
