Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Pick and choose and give up looking for normal manuscripts...
Dear Mr. Ju:
I have recently been making a living by reading emotional articles and providing emotional counseling and advice on an online platform. I am not like you imagined, locking myself up in Kamobashi Apartment all day and living a decadent life of tears every day. But I am still very grateful for the cat you gave me.
Also, perhaps Mr. Kiku knows anyone living in Tokyo who's short of accommodation? There are plenty of rooms available in Kamo no Bashi Apartments, and my own place is spacious enough, so I wouldn't mind a new roommate—if we're both comfortable with each other's personalities and living habits, it would be great if you could introduce me to one.
Your descendants,
Kamo no Bridge Theory."
Retired police officer Kiku from the Metropolitan Police Department sighed deeply when he saw the text message sent to him by Kamohashi Ron in the British letter format. According to Ron, "This is my final compromise with your annoying emails and text messages from Japan." He wondered with some helplessness who in the Metropolitan Police Department could catch Ron's eye.
In the past, Officer Kiku had introduced several talented young police officers to Kamohashi Ron who were looking for promotions, but without exception, they were all turned away by him. What kind of roommate was Kamohashi Ron looking for? Or perhaps, a partner?

Kamohashi Ron is an emotional anchor, at least for now.
"Ask me what I wanted to do?" Kamohashi Ron looked at the occasional question in the live broadcast room's barrage, his eyes expressionless and without any brilliance as he said, "My family has worked as detectives for the Detective Union for generations, but it stopped with my generation. As for why, don't ask."
[It is the host's almost dead feeling that attracts me to watch the host]
[The anchor's mental state leads the world]
"I'm in good spirits," Kamohashi Ron said. "At least I'm not at the point where I'm watching emotional livestreams and liking every video that ends with a breakup or divorce. So, since you've made up your mind to break up, break up with your boyfriend as soon as possible and make him your ex-boyfriend. Are you still putting this off because you want to be a philanthropist and prevent him from causing harm to others?"
【……】
[How did the host know…? ]
"Your gender on your online profile says male, and a few days ago, you followed a clothing brand on your shopping app that only gays would buy. As for how I know your app username, you should probably stop using the same ID," Kamohashi said in one breath. "To me, you're completely transparent, like you have no regard for your privacy. Even if you break up with someone, they could easily harass you this way. So be careful."
[Thank you, host. I will cancel some of the same IDs now.]
The ID of this barrage left Kamohashi Ron's live broadcast room after saying this, and Kamohashi Ron himself took out some emotional manuscripts submitted to him.
The Japanese format requirements for letters are really a headache. Why do they have to add a long string of words like "I'm sorry to bother you, the weather is fine today" and so on at the beginning, which don't contain any information?
Kamobashi Lun randomly picked out a manuscript with the title:
He cheated every one of the 19 boats and ended up losing the boat.
By the way, this paper has a rather pungent perfume smell.
Kamo no Bridge Theory: "..."
Does he need to respect human diversity? Although it seems unhuman to do such a thing.
Let's respect the diversity of species.
And he called the police, so no need to thank him.
:)

In the end, Kamohashi picked and chose, and finally gave up and found a normal manuscript among the emotional submissions.
Most of them either had a very explosive title but the content was mediocre, or had a very explosive title and the content was also very explosive. Then Kamonohashi Ron briefly studied the envelope, the letter paper, the handwriting, and the writing style, and then called the magazine company not far away:
"Hello, a short story author sent a letter to the wrong address. Could you please come to Kamo no Bashi Apartment? Thank you."
The staff member who arrived seemed very familiar with Kamohashi, and even sighed, "This is the 60th novelist to submit to the wrong place this month. Oh, sorry, Mr. Kamohashi, you are still live streaming, right? Is it okay for you to suddenly appear on camera?"
"It doesn't matter. That's a blind spot for the live broadcast, so the audience can't see it." Kamohashi Ron said, "And don't ask me why my door is a blind spot for surveillance."
If you really want to ask, Japan is a country that values privacy, so he follows the local customs.
Although Kamonobashi Lun doesn't know what kind of privacy a gate can provide, the gate of Kamonobashi Apartment can provide some.
[So we still don’t know what the editor of the emotional magazine looks like]
When can I not laugh when I hear Yaya say that a short story author submitted a letter to the wrong address?
[Does the editor of the emotional magazine know that these novels were forced upon him by Yaya after she realized they were fake?]
"I think the guy knew, but kept it to himself out of politeness." Kamohashi Ron sat back down in front of the computer and said seriously, "Also, I've emphasized many times that it's a platypus, not just a duck. Don't make the mistake."
[Okay, no problem, okay]
[Okay, no problem, okay]
[Okay, no problem, okay]
Kamo no Bridge Theory: "..."
Even so, he has to maintain the dignity of the platypus, not a duck! As for why, of course, it's because his live broadcast ID is platypus - he feels that this level of rigor is still necessary.
Although the series of duck nicknames in the barrage have made this matter unnecessary.

Kamo no Hashiro quickly sorted out all the manuscripts, and found that the manuscripts were a mess, mixed with emotional fraud, family disputes, trivial matters of marital property, wives' complaints about their husbands, husbands wanting to kill their wives, and nothing useful except the fabrications of third-rate screenwriters. Kamo no Hashiro finally chose to check the private messages in the background to see if there were any emotional consultations that needed to be responded to. When he casually clicked on a private message, the previous content did not attract him, but attracted the barrage.
This private message shows that the other party is very anxious.
"Yaya, I finally mustered up the courage to send this private message for emotional consultation. I suspect my lover is cheating on me!
My boyfriend has been leaving home late every day since he was laid off. Whenever I ask him about it, he keeps saying he's looking for a new job. But why would a regular job require him to be out late at night? I told him not to worry and that we could figure something out together. He agreed, but then he went out again!
Because I deliberately stayed awake that night and heard him leave.
Excuse me, Duck, is he cheating in this situation? "
[Leaving early and returning late...it's a bit...]
[But maybe you're looking for a night job? The economy is pretty bad these days, right?]
[But what kind of formal job requires an interview so late at night... a late-night show?]
I can't say for sure.
Kamohashi Ron ignored the comments. Although it was a live broadcast, to protect the other person's private information, he switched the camera entirely to his own computer, not the content stored at home. He then clicked on the consultant's social media account using their ID, circled a photo of the suspected consultant and her partner with his mouse, and then found the suspected partner's social media account in the forwarding section.
Kamohashi Ron even circled this social account with his mouse during the live broadcast and checked the mutual connections and followers of this account. Most of them were indeed job-seeking accounts and some recruiting companies. However, one of the followed accounts with nothing written on it and another account with the ID "communication expert" seemed a little weird.
[Okay, okay, another quick read and then censoring the suspicious account, right?! Every time Yaya reads quickly, I wonder how he identifies suspicious accounts.]
[Yaya only says things that are obvious at a glance, so why ask him?]
Following an empty account with nothing in it would be a little strange for anyone, right? But why did Yaya find the communication expert's account suspicious?
Kamohashi Ron took the time to glance at the comments.
Kamobashi commented: "Generally speaking, most people whose IDs say they are experts are not real experts, just as the UK often claims that it invests so much money in the military to protect its citizens."
But everyone knows that it spends so much money on the military to make people think they are really being protected.
Other countries know they don't.

This communication expert wasn't really a real one. After browsing his homepage, Kamonohashi Ron concluded, "This guy is just doing soft advertising for a perfume brand. The rest of his communication skills are just a bunch of idiot IQ tax."
[So the client's boyfriend is an idiot? ]
[But it seems like it has nothing to do with him leaving early and coming back late? ]
[I know this perfume brand, it can really cover up any smell, because the perfume itself is very pungent]
What kind of low-quality perfume is this?
Kamonohashi Ron sent a message to the person asking: "Besides being out early and back late, is there anything else suspicious about your partner lately that makes you suspect he's cheating?"
Not long after, the consultant sent a message:
"Duck, yes, I do suspect he's cheating, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm planning to investigate privately. Every night when he comes home, I can smell a very pungent perfume. But as far as I know, he doesn't like to wear perfume. If he were to meet a female superior, he wouldn't wear the same brand of perfume every time he met her, right?"
Kamohashi Ron remembered the sales pitch of the communication expert.
Kamohashi Ron silently forwarded the sales pitch to the inquirer: "Is this the scent of this brand's perfume?"
"I don't know, it smells like a very pungent perfume."
"Don't try to track him down and investigate on your own." Kamohashi Ron's expression suddenly grew serious, and he quickly typed to the other party, "Find a detective or call the police directly. It would be best to check if your boyfriend has any criminal record."
"ah?!"
