"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"
In a small apartment, the cell phone rang, and a middle-aged man who was sleeping soundly in bed woke up from his sleep, smashed his mouth, scratched his lower body, and then became impatient in a daze. He picked up the phone and said, "Hey, who is it? This is a disturbing dream during the weekend..."
On the other end of the phone, Akechi Kengo raised his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch. It was two o'clock. Then he looked up at the bright sunshine outside the window and confirmed that it was two o'clock in the afternoon instead of two o'clock in the evening. Then he couldn't help but sigh. : "Kkindaichi, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon..."
It means who knows you are still sleeping at this time!
Hearing Akechi's wise voice, Kindaichi already knew who was on the other end of the phone. He said nonchalantly: "Akechi, how can you, a civil servant, know how hard it is for an office worker like me? I'm so busy on weekdays, and of course on weekends. It’s going to take a whole weekend to catch up on some sleep!”
Are you worthy of working harder than me?
Mingzhi Jianwu said disdainfully that his average sleep time in recent months has not exceeded five hours, and he often stays up for several days and nights. During the "Cocoon" game conference a few days ago, he really couldn't stand it. After squinting in his office chair for a while, he was awakened by a sudden call. First it was the governor of Tokyo, then the public security police, then the National Police Agency, and then several more congressmen also called him, asking for help. Knowing the situation of the "Cocoon" game conference, Akechi Kenwu guessed that they either invested money in the "Cocoon" game or bought shares of Schindler Company.
No matter what, after a few phone calls and some urgent arrangements, Akechi Kenwu was already completely sleepless and could only continue to immerse himself in endless work.
Is this tiring? Tired, of course he was tired, but he didn't need to be so tired.
As the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, Akechi Kengo is now considered the number one figure in Tokyo. He also received an invitation to the "Cocoon" game conference, which means that that night, he could have tasted delicious food and wine at the conference venue. , chatting and laughing with the upper class people in Tokyo, but in the end he chose to stay in the office and work. After becoming the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, he gave up almost all social interactions except for some gatherings that he had to attend.
In the past, after he finished his work, he had a lot of time for leisure, such as violin, fencing, tennis, skiing, equestrian, chess... He had many hobbies, and each of them had professional-level strength. He is even the best in the world, but unfortunately now, he no longer has time to touch on those hobbies of his.
At any time and in any organization, it is extremely difficult to implement reforms. The current wise and wise people are doing this kind of thing that stumps countless people and makes countless people fail.
He had no choice but to do this. If the Metropolitan Police Department did not change, it would be over. So no matter how hard he worked and risked his honor as a police officer, he could not let the Metropolitan Police Department continue to rot!
Thinking of his own hard work, and then thinking of Kaneda Yiyi who had completely turned into a salty fish on the other end of the phone, Akechi Kengo became inexplicably angry.
"Kkindaichi, I have a small favor here and I hope you can help me."
Akechi Kengo said to Kindaichi.
"No help."
Kindaichi is very decisive and authentic.
Today was the weekend, and he didn't want to spend his weekend time being fucked. And since it was wise and wise asking him for help, it was most likely related to some difficult case, and he had already decided not to touch it again. Any case.
"..."
Listening to Kaneda's decisive refusal, a vein popped up on Akechi's forehead.
Is it so difficult for this salted fish to turn over?
The once fierce rivals have become office workers who eat and die every day. To say who suffers the most, of course Akechi Kengo, but Akechi Kengo also knows the difficulties of Kinda Yiyi.
In the cases solved by other detectives, most of the murderers were strangers, but Kindaichi sent people he knew well to prison time and time again, and put people around him in danger more than once during the process of solving the case. It can be said that he was very concerned about the case. I already suffer from "PTSD" and I really don't want to be exposed to any more cases, nor do I want to be involved in anything related to the cases.
In fact, Akechi Kengo thought more than once that if that incident had not happened and Kindaichi had gone to work as a detective instead of an office worker after finishing his studies, then what kind of "easy chair detectives" and "easy chair detectives" are now so famous? "Gourmet Detective", "Coroner Detective"... can all be put aside. As Kindaichi's rival, Akechi Kengo knows that guy's detective sense of smell and reasoning ability better than anyone else.
No, it's best not to be a detective. With his ability to solve crimes, he should be a policeman!
If Kindaichi becomes a police officer, firstly, it will help maintain public security in Tokyo, and secondly... he will transfer Kindaichi to his subordinates and make him salute every time he sees him... It will make him feel refreshed just thinking about it!
Thinking of this, Mingzhi Jianwu became inexplicably happy again.
"Hello? Akechi? Are you still here? If you don't have anything else to do, I'll hang up!"
Kindaichi yawned and said.
Damn wise, I originally planned to sleep until late at night so that I could save lunch, but now I am woken up at two o'clock. I am so hungry and I have to find a way to get something to eat. What bad luck!
"Kkindaichi, I have a guest here. He is very interested in the cases you have solved in the past. I hope you can tell him about the cases you have solved."
Akechi Kengo tells Kindaichi his purpose.
Kindaichi was stabbed in the heart, and then said impatiently: "Previous cases? Don't you have files in the Metropolitan Police Department? Just show them to him!"
That guy Akechi, knowing that he doesn't like to recall those cases, actually let himself tell those cases to others. It's too much!
"The files of the Metropolitan Police Department are not allowed to be seen by people other than police officers, and how can a blunt file be compared to the vivid account of you, a person who has experienced it firsthand? Kindaichi, we have known each other for so many years, you will not care about such a trivial matter. You won’t help either, right?”
Mingzhi Jianwu said while looking at Yan Kai who was aside.
"No matter what, I don't want to mention anything related to the case anyway. Akechi, you should find someone else!"
Kindaichi shook his head like a rattle.
"Please give me your phone number."
Yan Kai extended his hand to Ming Zhi Jianwu.
Akechi Kenwu hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the phone to Yan Kai. At the same time, he complained softly in his heart: You are such an ignorant Kindaichi, but you don't even give me any face. You'd better not beg me here in the future. Come, or you will kneel down to me!
"Hello, Mr. Kindaichi, right?"
Yan Kai said into the phone.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice coming from his ears, Kindaichi immediately guessed that this person must be the "guest" mentioned by Kengo Akechi.
"Yes, I am Kinda Kazuichi, but I'm sorry, I don't have any cases to talk to you about. I'm just an ordinary office worker now, and I don't want to be associated with those dangerous things anymore."
Because they were strangers, Kindaichi's tone of voice was no longer as casual as when Akechi Kenwu spoke, but he still had no intention of agreeing to Yan Kai's request.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
The sound of abdominal rumbles rang through the phone and reached Yan Kai's ears. Yan Kai smiled and said, "It looks like Mr. Kindaichi hasn't had lunch yet!"
"Yes, so what!"
Kindaichi felt a little embarrassed, but he still spoke firmly.
Judging from Yan Kai's voice, he must be young. As a thirty-seven-year-old uncle, being looked down upon by the fifth-grade kid from the neighbor's elementary school is enough to make Kaneda Yiyi angry. Kaneda Yiyi doesn't want to be looked down upon by young people again.
"It's nothing, I just feel it's a bit rude to talk to Mr. Kindaichi over the phone. Mr. Kindaichi happened to not have lunch, so I would like to treat Mr. Kindaichi to a meal. How about we talk while we eat?"
Yan Kai asked.
"Even if you say so..."
"How about going to Shinkawa Building? I'm treating you. Is Mr. Kindaichi's place far away from Shinkawa Building? If it's inconvenient for Mr. Kindaichi, we can make an appointment somewhere else."
"Xinchuanlou?" Kinda swallowed hard and changed the topic, "Although I don't want to help you, it would be too rude to refuse you over the phone. Okay, let's talk while eating... No, I mean me, let me reject you in person!”
He didn't want Yan Kai to meet him, and he didn't want Yan Kai to treat him to a meal. After all, he was soft-spoken and he had already decided to refuse. It would be embarrassing to let Yan Kai treat him to a meal...
But that's Xinchuan Tower! Shinkawa Tower has become famous in Tokyo in the past year! It is said that the reservation for Xinchuan Building has been scheduled for half a year. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know if there will be a second such opportunity.
Hmm...I'll taste it then, eat just a little, and then reject the other person after eating it!
Kindaichi said firmly.
"Okay, then Mr. Kindaichi, I'll wait for you at Xinchuan Building. You can just go to the counter and tell me my name. My name is Yan Kai."
After Yan Kai finished speaking to Kindaichi, he hung up the phone and returned the phone to Akechi Kengo.
Akechi Kengo took back his phone and said to Yan Kai with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Kindaichi still can't let go of things after so many years..."
"It sounds like Mr. Kindaichi has had an incident that is unforgettable to him to this day, so much so that he now talks about the case in a negative tone."
Yan Kai nodded, but he didn't ask further questions. This was other people's privacy. It was inappropriate for a stranger like him to ask for the details.
"I feel like I haven't been able to help you much this time. Student Yan Kai, if you have any trouble in the future, you are welcome to come to me at any time. As long as it is not something illegal or disciplinary, I will definitely help."
Wisdom and enlightenment open the way to Yan.
Compared with Yan Kai's help to the Metropolitan Police Department, he only made a phone call and failed to ask Kinda Yiyi, which made Akechi Kenwu look a little worried.
"No, no, Deputy Director Akechi can help me introduce Mr. Kindaichi. I have made my trip worthwhile. Deputy Director Akechi must not feel that he owes me anything."
Yan Kai smiled and said that before calling Kindaichi, Akechi Kenwu had already introduced Kindaichi's situation to Yan Kai and briefly talked about a few cases he had solved. This made Yan Kai very sure that Kindaichi was The person he was looking for.
Although it took a lot of time, it was enough to find Kinda Yiyi.
…………………………
After hanging up the phone, Kindaichi happily climbed out of bed, washed himself quickly, put on a suit and tie, dressed himself up as a social person, and then walked out of the rental house where he lived.
"Mr. Kindaichi, do you want to go out for something?"
A voice that cheered up Kindaichi. When Kindaichi turned around, he saw a very docile young woman who was also about to go out.
"Ah, Miss Momo, are you going to work?"
Kinda asked the young women one by one. At the same time, he glanced at the other party's cool clothes and immediately came up with a set of data, 92cm, Ecup.
"Yes, I'm going out right away. Let's talk next time. Goodbye."
Kindaichi's neighbor Morishita Momoka said softly to Kindaichi.
"Miss Momoxiang, goodbye, be careful on the road!"
Kindaichi waved to Morishita Momoka who was leaving.
Ah... Miss Momo, you are such a gentle woman... She even gave me something to eat before, and she said it was overcooked. She was obviously cooking it for me on purpose! Could it be that she is interested in me? Hehe, hehehe...
Kindaichi kept giggling in the direction where Morishita Moka left.
A little boy poked his head out of the door of Morishita Momoka's house, looked at Kinda Kazuichi with eyes like an ant, and said disdainfully: "Idiot!"
After saying that, he retracted his head and closed the door.
Really, Miss Momo is such a good person, why are the children she gave birth to so rude?
Kindaichi said angrily.
Well, yes, this little boy is the child of Morishita Momoka, who left before. Miss Momoka is a single mother.
However, even if Morishita Momoka is already the mother of a teenage child, this does not affect Kindaichi's fantasies about her. Of course, they are just fantasies. This requires Kindaichi to provoke Morishita Momoka, but he does not have the courage.
Looking at the time, a lot of time had passed. Kindaichi stopped fussing with the child and immediately ran towards the bus stop quickly.
He didn't dare to take a taxi. How could he, an ordinary office worker, dare to take a taxi casually?
After spending nearly an hour, Kindaichi finally arrived at Xinchuan Building. Looking at the magnificently decorated Xinchuan Building, he swallowed his saliva again.
"One bite, I only take one bite..."
Kindaichi said words that he didn't believe either.
If he just wanted to have a bite of food, did he need to spend an hour and change two buses to travel so far to Xinchuan Building?
Walking into Xinchuan Building, I reported Yan Kai's name at the counter. The receptionist was stunned for a moment, and then immediately respectfully led Kindaichi one by one.
Kindaichi was not very surprised by this.
A person who can ask Akechi Kenwu to help and book a seat at Xinchuan Tower casually cannot be simple. Although he has not touched cases for many years, his reasoning ability is not rusty and he cannot even notice such a trivial matter. .
Under the guidance of the receptionist, Kindaichi walked to a private room on the second floor of Xinchuan Building. In the private room, Yan Kai had already laid out a table of exquisite dishes. Just the appearance of the work of art made Kindaichi unbearable. He twitched his index finger, and the tangy aroma seduced his glutton into dancing in his stomach. The idea of "just one bite" was completely forgotten by him. Now he just wanted to eat the food on this table. Eat all the dishes!
Yan Kai signaled the receptionist to leave, then stood up and said to Kindaichi: "Mr. Kindaichi, please have a seat. You're welcome. All the dishes on this table are prepared for you."
"How can this be so embarrassing..."
Kindaichi said this, his eyes almost turning green as he stared at the dishes.
Half an hour later, all the dishes on the table were cleared away. The plates were as clean as new, like mirrors. After licking the last plate for the seventh time, Kindaichi was finally satisfied and threw it back on the table.
"belch!"
