Chapter 1111 Second-hand Rose
Gao Mu scratched his head, wondering what he had done wrong to cause his female leader to suppress him at work.
He couldn't help but look at Mao Lilan and Conan: "But, since there is a possibility of encountering a kidnapper, isn't it a bit too dangerous to let the child follow?"
"Where do you get so much to say?"
Sato Miwako stared at Takagi, who had a confused look on his face, and was speechless for a while before retorting.
Takagi: "..."
Obviously I took all the blame!
Why do you want me to stay at a scene where I can't get any credit?
Gao Mu seemed a little aggrieved.
When Sato Miwako saw this, she held her forehead slightly.
She felt that Gao Mu was a bit inhuman.
Would it be difficult to detect my operation of sending everyone else away and leaving only one man and one woman at the scene?
This is obviously obvious, right?
Alas... As expected of Takagi.
Miwako Sato sighed secretly in her heart, but didn't say anything else.
What else can she say?
The only thing missing was to directly say how to bring them together!
Then she changed her mind and took everyone away, leaving only Emoto Aya and Takagi alone in the empty room.
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. Emoto Aya smiled awkwardly at Takagi:
"Would you like a soda, officer?"
…………
Led by Masashi Emoto, everyone went to the home of his friend who was suspected of kidnapping.
The first person to visit was Rokuda Takuer.
Rokuda Takuer's life is not very ideal, which can be seen from the fact that he lives in a shabby six-mat apartment.
The person who opened the door was a man wearing a red sportswear and with his bangs fixed with a headband. From his appearance, one could tell at a glance that he was a otaku.
He opened the door, looked around at everyone, then showed dead fish eyes, and asked tiredly: "Hey, Jiang Shi, why did you come to see me so late, and brought so many people..."
"Sorry sorry!"
Jiang Benjiang smiled and introduced himself to him: "I just came back from the social gathering. Didn't I tell you about this before?"
"As soon as they heard that you knew music, they insisted that I bring them to see you..."
"What do you want to see me for?"
Liu Tian Zhuoer looked at everyone with a puzzled look.
Miwako Sato took the lead and said, "It's like this, we are forming a band now, but we don't have any inspiration yet. I heard that you are a composer, so I asked Shi to bring us here!"
As she spoke, she tugged at Fujino next to her, acting like an old friend of the same age who had known each other for a long time: "By the way, he is my partner. We both play rock music. That girl is his relative, and she is the bassist."
"Uh-huh!"
Xiaolan nodded very seriously, her young and pretty face full of longing for the path of music and art.
"I play rock music..."
Rokuda Takuer touched his chin and glanced at Sato. He didn't seem like a rock musician.
Then he looked at Fujino who was being pulled over.
Well, it looks like this time.
At this time, Fujino was wearing a long wig, and half of his hair covered half of his face, so his specific appearance could not be seen at all.
It fits the characteristics of playing rock music.
Conan was looking at Rokuda Takuer at this time, and suddenly got back to the point, looking a little impatient: "Hey, big brother, let us listen to your music, okay!"
"Who is this child?"
"This is Conan!"
"Your child?"
Liu Tian Zhuoer showed a suspicious look. After all, who would attend a social gathering and bring children with them?
Also, if it were a son, why would he go to a social gathering after getting married?
This is a tricky question.
The question left Sato Miwako stunned.
Fujino was the first to recover. He punched Conan on the forehead, turned his fist and explained, "This is my neighbor's child. They left him behind when they went out traveling, so they asked me to take care of him temporarily."
The emotions of reluctance, annoyance, but having to do something are displayed vividly.
"Oh, by the way, what bands do you like? Are there any particular songs you like to listen to?"
Upon learning that the other party was in a band, Rokuda Takuer's attitude improved a lot and he started asking questions casually.
Is it more of a test than a question?
Fujino vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this person.
It seemed that he had some doubts about the identities of himself and several other people.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I prefer Queen, their song Bohemian Rhapsody."
"Bohemian Rhapsody!"
"That song is really good. Although I didn't recognize it when I heard it as a child, I still remember it after so many years!"
"Yeah, the characteristics of that song are indeed very obvious."
As soon as they started talking about music, Liu Tian Zhuoer let down his guard, started talking freely, and enthusiastically played songs for everyone.
It was a piece of instrumental music and didn't sound very good.
The combination of music is not very harmonious and at the same time too messy, giving off a feeling of being out of place.
After entering the room, Conan, Miwako Sato and Xiaolan looked around like a cat catching a thief.
Fujino was quite helpless about this kind of behavior where he didn't even want to act.
I can only try my best to attract Liu Tian Zhuoer's attention.
As they chatted, they talked about Bohemian Rhapsody, and to prove that he was indeed the lead singer, Fujino sang it again:
"Is all this real, or is it an illusion..."
"Trapped in a collapsing cage of reality..."
"Mom, I just killed a man. I put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger...
Mom, my life has just begun, but I have to leave my hometown from now on..."
"Si Guoyi!"
After hearing this, Rokuda Takuer looked at Fujino with respect: "Come to think of it, I don't even know the name of your band!"
"Ok?"
As the person who planned the disguise, Miwako Sato certainly didn't expect the other party to ask about the name of the band or something, and she was stunned.
Fujino triggered his passive skill at zero frame rate and started to fool people directly: "We haven't chosen a name for our band yet. After all, we have just formed it..."
"My current idea is Second Hand Rose, which means second hand. Rose is the rose. The English name is Second Hand Rose. The lead singer, guitar and bass player will all be there. I am the lead singer."
"I see, what's the theme of the new song?"
"The theme is destiny. I want to make a folk rock song just like Queen breaking new rock styles..."
"It would be great if my music could be accepted by you."
Rokuda Takuer's eyes were filled with hope that he would become a professional composer for a famous band in the future.
Masashi Emoto doesn't know anything about music.
He walked around the room twice, came to the electronic piano, looked at the postcard lottery ticket on it, and couldn't help but complain: "But what on earth are you doing? You actually bought so many lottery tickets."
"Come to think of it, didn't I buy one for you too?" Liu Tian Zhuo'er turned around at this time, as if she suddenly remembered something, and then mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally: "It's the batch at the end of the year, you should also take a good look to see if you have won a prize..."
"Okay, okay, I will redeem the prize."
Masafumi Emoto put his hands in his pockets and responded impatiently.
As he said this, he turned around and gave him a meaningful look, and said, "But if you ask me, if you have money to buy lottery tickets, you might as well move to a better place. Maybe you will suddenly get some inspiration if you change your mood."
"Also, the mailbox at your door is not safe. It would be troublesome if something valuable was stolen."
"What valuables do I have?"
Liu Tian Zhuoer complained speechlessly: "It's not like you don't know me."
"That's not necessarily true." Jiang Benjiang chuckled, "Even if it's not something valuable, what if something important is lost?"
"For example, if you ignored the news about a song contract, you wouldn't even know where to cry."
"ok, ok, I got it!"
…………
"So, with Second Hand Rose and the theme of fate, you don't really want to form a band, do you?"
After leaving Rokuda Takuer's house, Sato Miwako didn't find any clues, so she turned to tease Fujino: "The famous Fujino Detective is the lead singer, Xiaolan is the bassist, and I play the drums."
“Can you play drums?”
"Isn't that just hitting a drum with a stick?"
Fujino couldn't help but complain: "Do you think a drummer's job is to just bang with a stick?"
"Isn't it? I noticed that you usually tap your substitute's head quite rhythmically..."
"..."
Fujino was speechless after hearing this, and felt that this elder sister seemed to be irritating him.
But if you think about it carefully, after becoming a singer, Fujino discovered that his talent in singing had become extremely good.
Well, it seems that in addition to increasing all attributes, the singer also brings some abilities of his own profession.
Singers are supposed to sing, right?
It seems unusual for someone like Fujino to put all his points into the physical strength attribute...
Sato Miwako changed the subject and said, "But I didn't expect that you sing quite well. Why didn't you sing at karaoke bars before?"
"Uh-huh!"
Xiaolan next to him couldn't help but ask: "So what is that song about fate like? Did you write it, senior?"
“Why does it feel so real?”
“It’s not made up.”
Fujino thought for a moment and responded, "I've already thought of this song, and it can be used directly as the title song for Second-Hand Rose's debut."
"red beans?"
"What kind of song?"
Everyone looked at Fujino in surprise when they heard this. They didn't expect that Fujino was not making it up and he really had a band called Second-Hand Rose.
“It combines Chinese folklore with the popular rhythm of new-age rock.”
“Can you sing it out loud?”
"If the east is dark, the west will be bright~"
"..."
After investigating Rokuda Takuji, everyone then headed to the closer Hikiya family.
Yinwumen Chengjia is a self-built house, and the house looks quite spacious.
The other person is a fat man, also a otaku, but this otaku is not a composer, but a 2D + model designer.
The room is full of figures, just like Chiba Xiaopang.
After the last lesson, Miwako Sato became more skilled in setting up her own character. She directly transformed herself into a little fan girl of the puppet designer and humbly asked for advice from the fat boy who led the house.
The otaku Xiaopang was so happy to see such a cute girl actually adore him that he didn't know what to do. He didn't doubt anything at all and began to regret not joining the social gathering.
Otakus are easy to deceive.
"That's why I let you join the social gathering..."
"I didn't expect that either... By the way, how about the Kamen Rider limited edition set that you asked me to buy and send to you? Did you get anything good out of it?"
"All of mine were broken, and I didn't get any good stuff."
"me too……"
Conan listened to the conversation between his senior Masashi Emoto and his junior Hikiya, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is that Kamen Rider suit you're talking about?"
"It's a card pack that can only be purchased by one person. Legend has it that there will be hidden gems among the seven cards!"
"That's right, the super rare Potato Queen Platinum Card!"
The fat guy in the house echoed: "That card can be sold for a good price of 800,000 yen!"
"Eight hundred thousand?"
Sato Miwako was shocked by the otaku again: "A card is so valuable?"
"You're surprised by what you've seen, aren't you?"
Fujino put his hands in his pockets and complained silently, "The price of collectibles like this has always been very high. It feels like there is no demand for them."
"Can't understand..."
Miwako Sato crossed her arms across her chest, unable to comprehend how a single card could be worth more than a month's salary.
At this time, seeing that the two of them were about to give up acting, Masashi Emoto immediately walked towards a figurine to attract Hikari's attention, and teased, "But speaking of it, Hikari, compared to these figurines of girls, you should get in touch with real girls when you have time... You won't be able to find a girlfriend this way."
"Wuwuwu, please stop talking, Senior."
Fujino: "..."
This guy hits the nail on the head with his words.
…………
After Masashi Emoto attacked his junior Xiaopang who liked paper people.
The last one left is Satsuka Yoshikane, a coin collector.
This guy collects all kinds of coins, old versions, new versions, serial numbers and so on.
Miwako Sato still played the role of a little fan girl, praising the other person so much that she put her hands on her hips and looked very proud.
But when she was asked what she collected, she felt a little embarrassed.
Or is it that otakus are easy to fool, right?
Fujino sighed upon seeing this. Come to think of it, just like the Chinese, the Japanese also have this kind of collection obsession with serial numbers.
Is there anyone who really takes this as a hobby?
Fujino was speechless and silently took out a ten thousand yuan bill from his wallet: "Speaking of consecutive numbers, I do have one, AG888888M."
"888888 Super Leopard serial number?!"
Satsuka Ryokan couldn't sit still anymore, he rushed over with his eyes wide open, and then said excitedly: "I didn't expect to see it here..."
As he said that, he turned around and took out a photo album. After opening it, he showed a page: "I have a CD777777K here. If I can get another 8 consecutive numbers, I can make up 678... Sir, would you like to sell this one for 40 yen? I'll give you 50... No, yen!"
"Um... OK."
Fujino nodded, but he didn't care about this kind of thing.
After all, money is only money if it is converted into cash. Money that is not converted into cash is not worth a penny at all.
He felt pretty good about it, as he could get 490,000 yen for free with 10,000 yen.
Is that equivalent to leveraging fifty times?
