Keep doing this, sitting and watching the sun set.

It seems like I didn't do anything today, I just got by so easily.

"How long has it been since you last rested?"

The old man asked.

I took out a birdcage from nowhere in my hand, containing two imitating starlings.

"I haven't rested for a long time."

From the end of the first case, we quickly received the second case, and then to the third case this time.

Zhuang Zhuang was involved in unjust, false and wrong cases, and Gongsheng also forgot that he needed to rest.

"How long is very long?"

A slightly emotional tone came from the old man's mouth.

Indeed, compared to an eighty-year-old man, time has been very long.

"I don't know, it could be a few days, it could be a few weeks."

Time is complicated.

Kousei actually lived four weeks, but to others, eight days had just been crossed out on the calendar.

"This time the case is over, let's take a break."

I knew I couldn't persuade the boy.

The old man took out the bone and played with the Akita dog at his feet. Then he watched the Akita dog play with the parrot in the birdcage. The two parrots kept yelling "silly dog, silly dog".

"Dele, I listen to you, teacher."

After that, there was a karate competition held by Maori Ran, and Kousei was accompanying the women's team to lead the team, and the first press conference for neon distribution of Fusae Company, which Kousei also needed to go to.

There is no time to be an unpaid legal consultant.

By the way, there is also a lot of legal work that I have been paid for, and I need to seize the time to complete it.

Reaching out his hand, Gongsheng opened the birdcage.

Continuing the cry of "silly dog, silly dog", one parrot jumped to Kousei's right index finger, while the other one waited for Kousei to extend his left hand.

One bird on each side, respectively on the left and right hands.

They are not stupid, they are smart.

Because they know that as long as they occupy the boy's left and right hands, these "silly dogs" will lose their favored status and will only growl incompetently.

"Woof woof——!"

Yes, it is such an incompetent roar.

The Akita dog wandered around Kousei pitifully, hoping to be petted a few times by the boy, and to catch fleas.

This is retribution!

"Silly dog, silly dog, silly dog..."

The two parrots continued to exchange, spreading their wings happily and fluttering twice.

At the same time, he fixed his gaze on Kousei.

"Kongsheng is a stupid dog!"

They all spoke the truth in unison.

"..."

Gong Sheng suddenly fell silent, and the old man's hand that was playing with the dog trembled suddenly.

Exposed!

"Teacher, if you have to scold me, just scold me directly. There is no need to resort to the mouth of an animal."

Poor little thing.

Losing interest in playing, Gongsheng stuffed the two parrots back into the cage.

What greeted the two birds was the sound of the paws of five or six Akita dogs tapping on the birdcage, and the constant barking and spitting of the dogs, which sprayed on the feathers of the two parrots.

"Last time, that ignorant kid from the Kudo family brought down the mayor of Tama City."

The tone was lowered and slightly serious.

The crutch in the old man's hand hit the dog to protect the drowned parrot.

Dogs are raised to do things, and parrots are raised to convey messages, but dogs will be jealous of parrots that talk to people, just like people who are good at doing things but not talking are suppressed by people who are good at talking but not doing things.

At this time, you only need to use a birdcage to protect the parrot and let the parrot suffer some losses from being roared by the dog a few times.

When the time is right, drive away the dogs and protect the parrots who are sending messages.

Because ultimately, both serve the elderly.

If indicated...

In other words, the old man understood, and Gongsheng understood the meaning of this beating.

"I remember that the case was very sensational. The high school detectives solved the case of the mayor of Nishitama City hitting someone on a rainy night. But when Kudo-senpai went to the scene, he discovered that the person who actually hit the person was the mayor of Nishitama City."

Because it involves two theatrical versions, the time to detonate the skyscraper and the countdown to the kingdom of heaven.

The mayor of Nishitama City presided over the construction planning of Nishitama City, built the originally remote and deserted area into a city, and invited the famous architect Teiji Moritani as the town designer.

This case happened relatively early.

The most serious case since Kudo Shinichi's debut was the removal of the mayor of Nishitama City.

"Do you think that's true?"

The old man continued to speak.

"I don't know, that's not the case I'm responsible for."

This is a rule. The separation between Kousei and Kudo is not only Kousei's idea, but also the instruction of the Teidan Council.

At least it is guaranteed that there will not be two Emperor Dan students in the same case.

Once two people collide and a dispute arises due to a case, the resources of Didan Academy will be consumed.

Similar to prohibiting internal friction.

"Nishitama City's town building plan is Mayor Okamoto's biggest source of political achievements, but it also involves the land interests of some families, so this is both a case and politics."

The old man's cane is only used to beat dogs.

Stand up smoothly, have a strong body, walk smoothly, and have strong hands and feet.

continued.

"When it comes to politics, there is no right or wrong, and there is no truth. From the perspective of the Toto Prefecture, it is a car accident involving the son of the mayor of Nishitama City, which resulted in injuries."

"But when it comes to the case, or the people who created the case, they will find ways to create perjury and find ways to lead clues to the mayor of Nishitama City, because the town building plan involves their interests."

A case can have a thousand outcomes because it involves people.

Everyone draws different conclusions based on the clues they obtain and their psychological judgment.

The so-called detective is to select one of these thousand clues as the 'real' clue.

After the old man finished speaking, he sighed slightly.

To put it more clichéd, Kudo Shinichi seemed to have handled the case correctly, but was used as a weapon by the interest groups behind it.

"The old man is trying to persuade me not to imitate Kudo-senpai and be used as a weapon?"

In the same way, this time Kousei also faced the members of the Upper Toto Prefecture.

The mayor of Nishitama City is similar to the leader of a third-tier development city, but the congressman is a real congressman, and the two are no longer at the same strategic level.

A day's rest would be enough for the old man to investigate all the forces, people, and events that Gongsheng had recently come into contact with.

Gongsheng naturally also knew about the old man's "beating".

Who should I show the dog to, and who should I tease the bird to play with? These are all things that matter.

If a dog bullies a bird, it must be beaten severely, but if a bird is bullied, it still needs to be protected.

Who is the dog?

Who is the bird?

"No, the person who called that woman was another teacher of yours, who gave you instructions to solve the case."

Another teacher…

All seven members of the council are Kousheng’s teachers.

The old man's words made Kousei stunned. He had been thinking about who gave Akechi Eri his phone call, but now he was told that it was the council's instruction.

"Is it Teacher Qin?"
