I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 39: Variations

After more than an hour of running around, Beichuan Shaori led Kazuma to the Earth House.

It has something to do with Ma's impression of the name Earth House, and it is related to a Jeepry movie I saw in my last life, the movie is called, the main line is about a girl who wants to be a writer, and a boy who wants to be a luthier Between pure youth.

And there is a hidden branch in the movie, that is, the owner of a grocery store called Earth House. When he was studying abroad at a young age, he had a fruitless love with a foreign lady.

Hema likes it very much, although this is not Hema's favorite Jeepry movie, but that's because there are so many classics of Jeepry that this work can only stand backwards.

The jeepley works in front of them, one by one, are out of specification,...

He Ma felt that, from the perspective of web articles, Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, the soul of Jeep, is definitely a systematic person. "...

On the other hand, this golden finger who doesn't speak human words may not be as good as Miyazaki's "Protagonist Hanging", but the old man's hanging is specialized in animation art.

By the way, Kazuma's favorite jeep work is, and he likes it more and more as he gets older.

When I was a kid, I thought there was something wrong with this work for the first time. How can I make a pig as the protagonist?

Later, as Kazuma's muscles became looser and his beer belly became more and more magnificent, he became more and more aware of romance.

A man will eventually become a pig, but as long as you hold the joystick, the flying heart will wake up. Under the old and loose skin, the sea breeze of the Adriatic Sea will never stop.

It's a fairy tale for old men.

"May you still be a teenager when you return."

But now, it is still too early for Hayao Miyazaki to vacate. The old man may have just reached middle age, and the current Hayao Miyazaki may not be able to be photographed.

Kazuma actually flips through manga magazines from time to time recently. He remembers that Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa manga was serialized in magazines very early, and the animation was made later.

Unfortunately, Kazuma could not be found, nor had I heard the name Miyazaki.

Okada Koji and Anno Akto are both deep house, if according to the history of the original world, Miyazaki will participate in the production of Lupin III, and cut a figure, then Okada Koji and Anno Akto have no reason not to know this senior.

Not sure what went wrong.

But now, when Kazuma sees the Earth House in front of him, he suddenly rekindles hope, because this Earth House is so similar to Li, maybe Miyazaki is the one who saw the Earth House in real life, and it is only in the animation Also made one.

However, the Earth House in the animation is a grocery store, and it also does some repairing work such as clocks and music boxes. The basement of the grocery store is the workshop for making and repairing violins.

This earth house, you can see from the window that it is a piano shop.

To be honest, the electric bass and electric guitars placed in this store are not very different from the retro decoration style of the store.

Kazuma looked inside the store through the window, but found no one.

"Where are the people?" he asked Kitagawa Shaori.

"It's normal not to see people. I've told the owner more than once that his shop is a thief's paradise, and he doesn't even know if something is stolen." Kitagawa Shaori shrugged, "However, it may be because I go in and out of this store a lot, and thieves keep away from it."

Kazuma: "It's also possible that a thief had broken his leg in karate by the shopkeeper."

At level 51, playing ordinary people is not the same as playing.

"Why are you so sure that the shop owner can do karate? I also practice martial arts. Why didn't I feel the martial artist's temperament in the shop owner's uncle?"

He Ma thought it was because you didn't have a golden finger.

He said to Ma, "Maybe it's because you haven't reached the point where your mind and skills are integrated."

"Then what is the integration of mind and skill, does it really exist?" Beichuan Shaori glanced at Kazuma, and without waiting for Kazuma to answer, he pushed open the glass door of the Earth House.

When the door was pushed, the bell hung on the door rang to remind the owner of the arrival of a customer.

However, no one came out to greet the guests.

Kazuma followed Kitagawa Shaori and entered the Earth House.

He was completely on guard, turned his head and ran away when things went wrong.

After all, the entry for the Earth House that Kazuma saw on the shop owner's head stated "an ordinary piano shop".

If this golden finger doesn't speak human words, this piano shop is probably not ordinary.

And Ma Ben believes so.

However, as far as Ma Gang entered the store and saw the situation, this is indeed an ordinary piano shop.

Beichuan Shaxuri raised his voice and shouted: "Old man! Come out to pick up guests!"

No one came out.

Beichuan Shauri said to Kazuma, "Just look around, I'll go to the back to find someone. I guess I fell asleep in the reclining chair again."

"Oh, good." Kazuma nodded and continued to observe the situation in the store.

Kazuma saw a handful of shamisen placed on a special shelf above the counter.

In this room of Western musical instruments, there is such a shamisen, it is difficult not to attract attention.

He Ma stepped forward and carefully observed the shamisen, but with his pure layman's eyes, he couldn't see anything wrong.

There is no decoration on the shell of the shamisen, and there is no such thing as the family crest, nor the inscription of the maker.

The things made by famous Japanese craftsmen will definitely leave traces such as inscriptions, and this act itself will make the item "appreciate".

As is the case with the swordsmith, so must the craftsman who makes the shamisen.

Kazuma reached out and picked up the shamisen and turned to the back——

"This, it is said to be the work of the Asuka period." Suddenly, an old and thick voice came into the horse's ear.

He Ma turned his head fiercely and saw the old drummer who had seen the rain before coming out of the store.

Behind the old man, Beichuan Shaori was winking desperately, seeing that he meant to let Kazuma quickly put down the shamisen and apologize to the old man.

Kazuma carefully placed the shamisen, and then smiled at the old man: "In the Asuka era, there is shamisen..."

"Are you an idiot? How could there be? I'm just trying to see the knowledge of Dongfang University students. However, this one of mine can also be considered a guqin." The old man walked behind the counter and fondly stroked the shamisen .

"Unfortunately, one string is missing, so I can't play it anymore."

Kazuma frowned and glanced at the large number of guitar strings hanging on the shelf next to the counter.

After all, piano shops, of course, sell "consumables" such as strings.

"A special qin, of course, must be equipped with special strings." The old man said, and then he didn't seem to intend to entangle in this aspect, and directly changed the subject, "Why do you come to me, Kiryu and Teacher Ma."

The sudden honorary title made He Ma a little caught off guard, and he waved his hand quickly: "I dare not be, I don't dare to be. Old man, I'm here..."

"He said you can do karate." Beichuan Shaori said, "and he is a very powerful expert."

The owner frowned slightly, looked at Kazuma again, and when he spoke again, his tone was obviously a lot softer: "Tell me, I look like a karate master."

"I don't know, it's just a feeling." Kazuma can only say that.

You can't just say "Hello, I can see the entry, thank you"?

The owner stared at Hema for a while, then sighed softly: "Yes, I know a little about karate. But I have given up martial arts for many years."

Abandoned martial arts for many years and still level 51?

"Now I'm just a playful old urchin, a drummer who breaks the weather. If Kiryu-sensei is here to talk about martial arts, then I can only make an expulsion order."

Kazuma hurriedly said, "No, Martial Arts is a confirmation incidentally. I would like to ask you what you think about the recent God of Music incident."

"I have no opinion." The shopkeeper replied in seconds, "There is no **** in this world. If there is, then the goal of rock and roll is to kill him. Walking on the road of rock and roll, but pinning the hope of entering the music hall on gods, I don't even bother to give them a second look."

Hema wanted to remind the old man that the string he just said was his opinion on the God of Music, so he was not without opinions, he contradicted himself.

But looking at the old man's karate level of 51, and Ma felt that the old man was right, he just had no opinion.

He Ma was about to take a side-kick from a different angle, but the old man asked: "How long have you been working with Saxuri?"

Kazuma didn't expect the other party to ask this question, so he was stunned for a second before answering: "It's been a week, mainly to find bands that may be involved with the God of Music. Except for the initial URB The band, everything else is gone."

The old man looked at Beichuan Shaxuri, and then asked Kazuma, "You guys didn't sing together?"

Kazuma: "Uh... they're all running around, so I don't."

The old man pouted and changed the subject abruptly: "Choose a piano."

Kazuma: "Huh?"

Beichuan Sha Xuli was also stunned: "What are you doing, old man?"

"Stop talking nonsense and choose a piano." The old man came out from behind the counter, came to the piano stand, thought for a moment, then took off a piano and handed it to Kazuma, "I think this one is very good. It's a perfect match with Shaxuri's new piano."

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} Kazuma didn't pick up the guitar, he waved his hand and said, "I can't play the guitar, and it usually goes with the guitar, isn't it bass? "

The owner of the shop unabashedly looked at Kazuma with the eyes of a sand sculpture.

Kitagawa Shaori explained: "It is very common for two guitars to form a combination in a rock band. The bass is often combined with the drums to form a rhythm instrument group, but it is rarely said that it is matched with the lead guitar."

Kazuma: "I understand, the bass should come with Mikako."

"Mikako is... ah, she, does she also play music? It doesn't look like it." Kitagawa Saori was also a woman who attended a pajama party at Kiryu Dojo, and naturally knew Mikako.

But she obviously didn't get to the point of Hema.

Kazuma was about to spread knowledge about Mikako's status in Kiryu Dojo to Kitagawa Shaori, when the owner of Earth House interrupted him: "Are you going to pick up a guitar? It's a little bit more responsible for being a man."

Kazuma doesn't know why this involves a man's responsibility, but now he doesn't like others to question his responsibility, so he immediately took over the guitar.

He Ma held the guitar and looked at the old man: "Then?"

Old man: "Bullshit, carry it! Haven't you seen how to carry a guitar?"

Because the old man spoke too aggressively, and Ma didn't even refute, so he obediently put on the guitar - of course he has seen how to carry the guitar, and he saw Buschming play and sing on TV a few days ago.

The old man took down another guitar himself: "Come on, I'll teach you some basic chords."

Kazuma: ? ? ? ?

Not only was He Ma very confused, Beichuan Shaoli was also very confused: "Why? So many people came to ask you to teach guitar, but you refused!"

The old man ignored Beichuan Shaxuli, but stared at Kazuma: "Just a little bit, do you want to learn?"

Kazuma glanced at the level 51 karate above the old man's head again. However, to be honest, there is no reason to refuse someone to teach themselves something for free. The problem is that the time is not right.

"Well, I have to investigate the serial murder case..."

"Are you a policeman?" the old man asked.

Shaking his head with the horse.

"No, not yet."

The old man asked again: "Then you are a detective?"

"No, of course not."

"Then what murder are you investigating? What does this have to do with you?"

Kazuma: "Uh...because I can't ignore Tokyo's tomorrow?"

The old man looked at Hema for the third time, and then grinned at Hema: "Unexpectedly, you are very rock and roll. Looking at the songs you wrote before, I thought you were a sissy love song writer."

He Ma recalled the songs he had "published" so far, and thought to himself that the ones I "copied" were not scumbags, and I didn't copy anything, right?

But the old man's smile was fleeting, and the next moment he asked Hema seriously: "Are you studying?"

Actually, Hema really wants to learn. He has practiced the harmonica hard for a year, and his skills have reached the top level among amateur players. He really wants to learn other instruments.

After going to university, the pressure of schoolwork is much less than that of preparing for exams. In addition to practicing swordsmanship in my spare time, it is also good to learn a musical instrument.

Learning a musical instrument helps to improve the force, and the high force is more likely to brush the powerful entries - this is what Kazuma understands.

So he nodded with Ma: "Okay, I'll learn."

It should be fine to leave the investigation for a day. If something big happens, I need to go out on my own, and the Shiratori Detective will call. Wait, it seems a bit strange to say that, I feel that Kiryu and Ma seem to be together. Like the thigh of the Metropolitan Police Department...

After receiving a positive answer from Hema, the old man fiddled with the strings and had a quick improvisation.

Honestly, this part is kind of cool.

Reminds Hema of the famous guitar SOLO in the Dragon Power band's song.

Kazuma: "We won't start from this section, will we?"

"What are you thinking, you are still early to play this part."

"When will I be able to play like this?"

The old man looked at Hema and said, "Learn to crawl first, then learn to walk."

"Wait, I don't usually say that, I don't usually say that..."

The old man interrupted Hema, looked at Beichuan Shaxuri and said, "Shaxuri, you are here too."

"Huh? Am I coming too?"

"Yes, how can the band have no lead singer, come."

Kazuma: "I can't even know a chord. It's too early to mention the band?"

"It's simple, I'll teach you the most basic chord first, and you'll just keep repeating this chord later, I'll take care of the other parts, and Sasori will hum. I've always believed that in music In education, it is very important for beginners to have a sense of participation and understand the beauty of music.”

The old man took two high stools, one for Hema and one for himself, and then dragged Beichuan Shaoli between them.

"You play this chord." The old man said and showed Hema again, "Isn't this very easy for Jianhao?"

And Ma: "Is there a logical connection?"

"Of course there is. Sword masters have flexible fingers and good hand coordination. After all, it is very important to change the gesture of the sword-wielding hand at any time in real sword battles."

He Ma raised his eyebrows and followed the chord that the old man had just played.

It feels a little weird, but it pops up anyway.

Old man: "Sure enough, the simplest chord is not difficult for you. Then you just keep repeating this chord, pay attention to the rhythm and tempo."

After speaking, the old man stood up, took a metronome, and adjusted it on the small table beside Kazuma.

The pendulum of the metronome begins to swing back and forth, making a clicking sound.

The old man played the rhythm of the metronome and demonstrated the chord again.

I came here once with Ma Yixiang to paint a gourd, but it was obvious that they were rushing to take pictures.

"It's okay, it's normal for beginners to rush to shoot, just play more." The old man waved his hand, and then said to Beichuan Shaori, "."

"Hey, do you want to sing in English? I can't speak English." Beichuan Shaoli shook his head like a rattle.

"The Japanese version that sings Xiaoxia's lyrics will also work."

He Ma frowned slightly.

Xiaoxia?

"The version of her lyrics also has an English part." Beichuan Shaori frowned.

"It's just the word countryroad. It's okay, Kiryu-sensei doesn't care about that."

"That's not the problem! I..." Beichuan Sha Xuli glanced at He Ma and changed the expression of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, "Okay, I'll sing."

The old man clapped his hands, sat back on the high stool, and said to He Ma: "You are a beginner first, and we will join after you get used to the rhythm."

Kazuma nodded and started playing the chord just now to the rhythm of the metronome.

It turned out to be wrong the first time.

The old man said: "It doesn't matter if you are wrong, continue. Don't stop!"

"Understood, I will do my best." He Ma replied, continuing to repeat the chords.

He repeated it several times, and gradually he felt that he had mastered the essentials. At this time, the old man nodded to Beichuan Shauri.

So Beichuan Shaxuri opened his voice: "Countryroad~Tike Mihong..."

Japanese English pronunciation and Ma almost laughed out loud.

"He laughs at me!" Beichuan Shaori stopped and pointed at Kazuma.

Kazuma: "No, I just thought of something happy."

"What are you happy about?" Kitagawa Shaori was unexpectedly cooperative.

But I can't keep up with the horse all of a sudden, so I can't say "My fox is pregnant", right?

The old man coughed: "Be serious. Come back with Ma!"

He Ma nodded honestly and resumed playing the chord he just broke.

The old man glanced at the unhappy Beichuan Shaori.

The latter sighed and started over again.

This time Kazuma didn't laugh, so Kitagawa Shaori's humming continued.

The old man chose a suitable time to join the performance, so the two guitars and the voice were combined into a moving minor.

He Ma was surprised that he didn't expect to play this simplest chord and actually become part of the music.

His fingers on the strings also became more flexible and light.

He suspected that he had been given some temporary buff.

At the end of the song, the old man asked Hema, "How do you feel?"

He Ma answered truthfully: "I was moved. The seemingly unpretentious and boring chords can actually become part of such a melody."

"That's the beauty of music. But there's a bad trend right now, valuing composers and despising arrangers and orchestrators. It's not good, very bad. I think a great composer himself If you are an expert in arranger and orchestration.

"Which of the great musicians in the past did not write each part of the symphony by himself, he studied where to match the violin, where to use the trumpet, and where is the performance time for the clarinet.

"There are some composers who know no more than three kinds of musical instruments. It's ridiculous."

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} The old man was suddenly filled with righteous indignation.

He Ma complained: "You just said this, it's really rock and roll."

The old man glanced at Hema and laughed.

Kazuma laughed along, and after laughing, he asked the question he was most worried about right now: "This... guitar is expensive, right? Is it... given to me?"

"No." The old man shook his head.

He Ma was heartbroken, and he wanted to carefully take off the guitar—what if a piece of paint was scratched off after carrying it for a long time? What should I do if the sweat on my hands breaks the strings?

The old man looked at Hema and continued: "This is the salary advanced to you."

He Ma stopped the hand that was about to take off the guitar strap, and asked in confusion, "What do you want to entrust me to do?"

The old man smiled without saying a word, then turned to Beichuan Shaori: "By the way, the new vinyl of the Eagles has arrived."

"Really?" Kitagawa Shaori was overjoyed, "I want to hear it!"

"I knew you wanted to listen, come here."

"I'm going to record it on tape and take it home to listen to it!"

"The sound quality of the tapes will get worse, haven't you persuaded your dad to buy you a record player?"

The old man and Kitagawa Saori walked to the record player in the corner of the shop while talking.

Kazuma, who was left aside, hesitated and followed.

Before following him, he didn't forget to turn off the metronome.

**

Sakurada Gate, Metropolitan Police Headquarters.

"I don't have any clues at all." Yukada Keishi dropped the dossier in his hand and sighed deeply.

"It looks like we should be transferred to other cases soon." Yoshiaki Shimanata seemed to have accepted the status quo.

"Is the search headquarters turned into an 'existence system'... This is the first time I have experienced such a thing since I joined the company." Yukada Keishi said.

He is much younger than Yoshiaki Shimafang, and naturally he has not experienced so much.

The so-called existence system is similar to the meaning of the existence of the fleet. It is enough to maintain the existence, and there is no need to really investigate anything.

"You haven't been to the 'headquarters floor', haven't you." Police Takayama asked, "There are several search headquarters on that floor that maintain an existing system. Everyone drinks tea and reads newspapers and waits until the prosecution period expires to cancel the search. In a sense, this kind of life is quite enviable, at least getting off work on time every day."

After Gao Shan finished speaking, everyone present laughed.

He's right, as long as you don't want to accumulate merits and don't want to increase in value, it's a good way to go to the search headquarters of the existence system.

Of course, there are also some hot-blooded young people, who are bent on solving difficult and unsolved cases, and go to work seriously in these tea yamen.

Now these young people have basically become uncles, and they have begun to join forces.

Detective Shiratori said: "Let's go have a meal later. After the search headquarters has been transferred to the existence system, we will ask each search division to do its own thing. I don't know when we will act together next time. We should remember it. ."

"You're right, it's time to celebrate." Yoshiaki Shimafang agreed.

The case did not progress and the investigation was put on hold but the detectives celebrated. The operation was successful but the patient died. Such things are quite common in Japan.

Yukida Keishi picked up the phone on the table: "I'll reserve a seat. But who pays?"

Detective Shiratori raised his hand: "I'll come."

"Oh, Shiratori-kun, it seems that the consulting position of Siling Heavy Industry is quite rich."

"Don't say a few words, no one will treat you dumb." Shiratori glared at the speaker.

At this time, the phone that Yukada Keishi was about to pick up the receiver suddenly rang loudly.

Yukida Keishi immediately answered the phone: "Hello? Yes, it is to search the headquarters. What?"

Yukada Keishi stood up with a swish. His actions made the atmosphere in the search headquarters, which was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, tense again.

"You say it again! Well, well, well, got it!"

Keishi Yukada hung up the phone and said to Yoshiaki Shimafang: "The lead singer of the URB band hit the wall in the prison and committed suicide."

"What?" Yoshiaki Shimafang was shocked.

However, Yoshida Keishi continued to report: "In addition, Yuichi, the new drummer of the URB band, also committed self-mutilation, and was stopped by the prison guards at the prison."

Shimanata Yoshiaki stood up: "I'll rush over immediately."

Originally, the members of the URB band were all detained in the Metropolitan Police Department. After the interrogation was over, they were transferred to the prison, awaiting prosecution and subsequent processing.

Shimanata Yoshiaki once thought that the lawyer named Chai Ikuta would bail the group, but Chai Ikuta did not do so.

This makes Shimanata Yoshiaki think that people like URB may not really be important.

Afterwards, these people should be prosecuted for rioting and other charges, and detained for half a year to a year.

But now, everything has changed.

When Yoshiaki Shimajima, Keishi Gyoda and Detective Shiratori Detective Takayama arrived at the criminal office, lawyer Shiba Ikuta was already waiting at the entrance of the criminal office with a briefcase.

"Islanda Police Department," Shiba Ikuta looked at Yoshiaki Shimahara with malicious intent, "I suspect that my client has been abused in the prison, and I will sue you on behalf of the deceased Takeshi Okada's mother. "

Shimanata Yoshiaki gasped.

Death in the prison may be rendered into a scandal. At that time, the jackal of the law and the crow of the newspaper will be in unison, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Those big men in the Metropolitan Police Department wearing gold watches are nothing, just bow and you're done.

The big deal is that he punished himself three times, and went to a remote place to be a police inspector for a few years. When he came back, he was a strong candidate for the police chief.

But the criminal police who are kicked out as scapegoats below will suffer.

Yukada Keishi stepped forward and asked, "How do you know the news is faster than us?"

Chai Ikuta smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. I happened to accompany Takeshi Okada's mother to visit him today. The sad old mother is crying over there. The reporters must love this scene." /

Shimanata Yoshiaki really wanted to punch the guy in front of him.

As the police department who survived the scene all the way, he hated these gentle scum.

After coming out of the university, my natural status has been high, and I still do not do personnel work all day long.

Shiba Ikuta took off his glasses calmly, and then looked at Yoshiaki Shimafang: "Isamafang Police Department, you can move now if you want, I will take off my glasses myself, so that I don't have to worry about the broken lenses blinding me, You face even more dire lawsuits."

Shiroto and Takayama were caught by Shiratori and Takayama when Shiroto and Takayama clenched his teeth.

"It's not worth it! Shimanata! It's not worth it!" Shiratori Detective said repeatedly, "He just wants to provoke you! We might as well go to the body to prove that Takeshi Okada's death is related to this guy's coming today!"

Chai Ikuta laughed again, he put on his glasses and said, "When the incident happened, I was always in the waiting room of the prison, and there were kind police officers watching me the whole time, and of course there were The newly installed closed-circuit camera filmed the entire process.

"What's this called in your jargon... oh yes, it's called an alibi."

Shimakata Yoshiaki gritted his teeth and looked at Shiba Ikutajiu.

Detective Shiratori and Detective Takayama drag him to the prison.

Yukada Keishi stood where he was and stared at Shiba Ikuta for a long time before turning around to catch up with his companions.

Shiba Ikuta pushed up his glasses~IndoMTL.com~ with a disdainful smile on his face.

At this time, he saw another figure entering the prison.

"Yo, it's a Maori detective, this is... your partner?"

The Maori detective held the gun in his hand and stared at Shiba Ikuta long ago.

His partner is a little fat, but very kind: "My name is Mumu, Mumu Suisan, lawyer Chai Sheng, we have some questions to ask Okada Takeshi's mother, Ms. Okada, do you want to audit?" /

"Of course, I'm Ms. Okada's attorney." Shiba Ikuta showed a completely different smile from just now, looking like the prudent and anonymous attorney again.

"Then, this way, please."

After Mumu finished speaking, the Maori detective said, "Be honest, I'm not good at investigating cases, but I have sharp eyes. You will definitely not be able to escape my eyes if you do any little tricks."

Chai Ikuta nodded again and again: "Of course, of course. I can't do anything, keep my hands in your sight at all times, Maori detective. But this way, I can't hold a briefcase, or can you help me? I'll take it?"

The Maori detective looked at him, and the latter nodded.

So the Maori detective reached out and took the briefcase from Shiba Ikuta's hand, while the other hand remained in a position where he could draw his gun at any time.

Mu Mu said: "Brother Maori, don't be so nervous. The other party will not be violent and will not be moved by the prison. This will be detrimental to them. Take it easy. I'm even worried that your gun will go off."

"Don't worry, I carefully maintain my firearms every day, which is different from those who have not been oiled for several years." Mori Goro stared at Chai Yutianjiu and said.
