I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 19: A slander in a cup


Gimsan Pyeongtae sat in front of the bar of the bar as usual.

Although the bar is open, there are not many customers at this time.

It is normal for Japanese companies to work overtime until eight or nine o'clock in this era, after which is when the nightlife officially begins.

The bell on the door rang, and the detective Shiratori pushed open the door and entered.

Gimsan Pyeongtae and the bartender glanced at the entrance together, and then the bartender silently took out two new glasses.

"Looks like you've already started arranging for retirement. The Wannian Police Department will make up for it." Jin Shan Pingtai glanced at Gaoshan Criminal Police Officer and smiled, "I'm still an old acquaintance."

He stretched out his hand: "Jin Shan Ping Tai."

Detective Gaoshan held his hand: "Historic Gaoshan... To be honest, it feels weird to shake hands with a big gangster."

"It's best to get used to it as soon as possible." Jinshan Pingtae suggested, "Or, is the Gaoshan criminal police the kind of man of justice who wants to kill all the extremes in the world?"

Detective Shiratori shook his head: "If he was such a naive person, I wouldn't have brought him here."

"That's right." Jin Shanping laughed too.

At this time, the bartender had already poured drinks for Shiratori and Takayama.

Shiraotiao took a sip from the wine glass, and then asked: "Three people died, a family of three, probably loan sharks, near your site. Any clues?"

"There seem to be some newcomers near our site," Jin Shanping said in a low voice.

"Korean?" White Bird Detective asked.

"Looks like it, but... I always don't think it's right. I glanced at their boss from a distance, and his temperament... looks like a soldier."

"It's not surprising that all Koreans have served in the military..."

"No, no, it's not the same as the Koreans. They..." Jin Shan Pingtae considered it for a while, and said, "They give people a more professional feel, and they have more murderous intentions."

Detective Shiratori took a sip of wine and said, "I'm really afraid of anything."

"Isn't this very good, it can let the police force's mobile team move around again. When was the last time they were dispatched?" Jinshan Pingtai teased.

Detective Shiratori shook his head: "The funding for the mobile team has shrunk recently. If they are really from the north, they may not have enough firepower to deal with them."

"True or false?"

Detective Shiratori looked serious: "What do you think about Kanto United?"

"I reported it, and then it looks like the bigwigs above want the police to fix this."

"Hmph, these bastards. As for the middle class, isn't there any guy who wants to exchange the heads of these Koreans for a military name?" White Bird Detective asked again.

He still refers to those people as Koreans, a title that saves a lot of trouble - even though he and Geumsan Pyeongtaek both know that those aren't Koreans at all.

"Yes." Jinshan Heitai said, "I really want to try it out, but... I don't know how many weapons these people have."

Detective Shiratori didn't answer, just continued drinking.

The high mountain detective couldn't help but ask: "Why are they so sure they have a lot of weapons?"

Detective Shiratori put down the wine glass, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "What I'm going to say next, you can listen to it as an urban legend."

"Oh." Takayama Detective nodded, holding his breath.

"GONGAN once suspected that they were behind the KGB or the intelligence agencies in the north. We have destroyed some of their dens piecemeal, and there are often very high purity..."

Detective Shiratori made a gesture, which police detective Takayama understood in seconds.

"But we can't trace the origin of these things at all, just like those weapons. Gangan suspects that they were brought up by submarine from the deserted shores of Aomori to the north.

"A lot of the coasts in Aomori are now completely deserted, and even the fishing villages by the sea are deserted. It is impossible to find a pocket submarine or something. It is very suitable for smuggling small goods."

"How is it possible, is the anti-submarine patrol plane of the Self-Defense Force eating dry food?" Gaoshan police officer couldn't help but question.

Detective Shiratori waved his hand: "Just say you are an urban legend. I don't even have a college degree. I don't understand the complicated things like anti-submarine patrols, submarines, and so on."

Hearing this, Geumsan Pyeongta laughed, as if mocking the low education of the Shiratori police officer.

Detective Shiratori didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "gongan believes that this is KGB's use of this method to exchange dollars to support their activities in the Western world."

Detective Gaoshan frowned: "Impossible? After all, the KGB is also an official institution of a country, how could it be possible..."

"Urban legends, urban legends." Detective Shiratori continued to wave his hands, "Why are you so serious?"

And Jin Shanping smiled contemptuously: "The CIA is also doing the same thing, in Afghanistan.

"Before the Vietnam War was not over, the American soldiers also brought goods from Vietnam into the Japanese market through Okinawa. When I was working hard at the wharf a few years ago, I often unloaded cargo ships from Okinawa."

The Takayama police officer opened his mouth in an O shape: "And this matter? Why don't you report it directly to the colleagues in the Narcotics Crime Countermeasures Section?"

"It's reported, otherwise how do you think they've completed their annual task quota?" Detective Shiratori shrugged.

Jin Shan Pingtai smiled and said, "I still remember that year, because your colleagues in the narcotics countermeasures section were very negative about the information you provided, so you rushed over to stop the transaction single-handedly."

Shiroi laughed: "I was too young."

"It's fortunate that you met a kind-hearted me." Jinshan Pingtai said that he filled Shiratori with his own hands, and the two of them toasted.

"Just be kind to you, Gao Shan-kun~IndoMTL.com~ He told a joke, come on, let's laugh together." After speaking, Detective Shiratori burst out laughing.

Detective Gaoshan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, but apparently laughed a little insincerely.

After laughing, Detective Shiratori looked at the wine left in the glass, and suddenly sighed: "Looking back now, that was when my piece of white paper was stained with the first ink. In this era, I think It's too hard to keep pure white and keep the heart of a child."

"You're right, how do you mean you've turned completely black recently?" Jinshan Pingta asked as he raised his glass.

"Ask, knowingly." Detective Shiratori replied, and then the two tacitly touched the glass and drank the wine in it.

Only Gaoshan detective looked confused.

After taking this sip, the White Bird Detective turned the topic back to the dead family of three: "Let's get back to business. Let me make a bold guess. The Metropolitan Police Department will not immediately send out a mobilization team to encircle and suppress them. Wait until you meet the Koreans first."

"Even though three good citizens have died tragically?"

"Yes. Japan is a very strange country. If someone is dead, if the murder weapon is not found, the investigation of the case will be stuck.

"Even if the prisoner is caught, without the murder weapon and if the person pleads not guilty, it is possible for the barrister to achieve an innocence defense.

"The cost of the so-called perfect crime has been greatly reduced in Japan."

Jin Shan Pingtai: "You say so much, you mean, the police will watch us fight in extreme ways?"

"Probably so. The Kyoto bombing just killed so many police officers, and the civil servants' pensions are very expensive." Detective Shiratori looked at Jinshan Heitai, "You guys are much cheaper."

Tae Geum San Pyeong laughed.

Detective Shiratori also laughed.

The high mountain police officer thought for a while, then laughed.
