Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Isshiki: Am I Lun's guardian...?
"That's not what I'm talking about! I mean, did you go to court?!"
"Oh, that's not the case. I don't like courts either. The last time I was in court was when I was standing in the dock." Kamohashi Ron recalled, "The courtroom is full of troublesome people. Some people won't give up until I completely convince them and resolve all the doubts about the case..."
"Ah, you said before that you were harping on the point of causing suicide and murder in court." Isshiki Totumaru said, "Could it be that..."
"My defense lawyer at the time was just a bit of a show-off. I was the one arguing with the prosecutor. He was also a top graduate of Blue. His last name was strange, something like Kasama..." Kamohashi recalled him. "I've said before, Blue is a place that specializes in training outstanding detectives, but not everyone who graduates becomes a detective."
"Ah... not a detective?"
"Police and prosecutors also conduct detective work," said Kamohashi Ron. "Hmm... I think there are lawyers and journalists as well, but I'm not sure about that."
"Why are there still reporters?!"
"After all, candid photography and the like are considered tracking techniques, right?"
"Why do you still look so uncertain? But since you said the murderer might be a detective or a lawyer...could it be Blue's student?"
"That's impossible. I was a big shot at Blue back in the day. If you were a Blue student, there's no way they wouldn't know me. But if you were a few years older and a bit of a fool, they probably wouldn't know me. Besides, it's not just Blue students who become detectives or lawyers. After all, you can get a detective license through a professional exam."
"You haven't mentioned this at all before."
"Eh? Didn't I tell you that before...?"
"I didn't say that." Isshiki Todumaru said confidently, "If you said it, I would remember it. For example, when we were on the first case, you told me that you were a puppet or something like that..."
"Because that's the truth. But since it's our first case, it's definitely very memorable. So why not give it a name that's meaningful..."
"Does this kind of thing also need a commemorative name?"
"For example—Puppet Day."
"It's better not to take it!"

Communication Expert: "Ahem."
Communication expert: "Um, could anyone please pay attention to me for a moment?"
If it was really, truly, absolutely true that no one paid any attention to him, then he would run away very happily. Who wants to see these two guys bickering here? He still has important things to do. Liar doesn't know what is going on now. He has to ask some veteran people he knows. After all, if Liar is gone, how can he sell his low-quality perfume?
"I don't think I asked you to leave?" Kamohashi Ron looked at the communication expert, only to see him startle and then laugh.
"I wasn't planning on leaving... Is there anything else wrong? I've already told you everything I know. As for the Blood Internship Case, I only knew about it because I was in England at the time... I don't know anything more specific. Can you please let me go, Kamonohashi-kun! Mr. Kamonohashi!"
"Why are you so scared that you even use honorifics..." Isshiki Dudumaru looked at the communication expert helplessly, "Lun won't do anything to you."
"You're the one with the filter, Officer Yise!" the communication expert couldn't help but grumble. "He acted like he was the mastermind the entire time, wasn't that what you were complaining about?"
"Eh? Is that so?"
Communication Expert: “…”
Let him go! What's the point of him staying here? Kamohashi Ron is still staring at him, what's the point of staring at him? He has nothing to do with this case except that the deceased bought perfume... Wait, the deceased bought it?
"Wait, wait a minute... You said the deceased died three days ago?!" the communication expert said, a little shocked. "Then who placed the perfume order on the app three days ago?"
"A ghost."
Kamohashi Ron said this with a dry humor.
93
"How could it be a ghost? Ghosts are keeping up with the times and using electronic gadgets now! I won't sell this kind of low-quality perfume offline, so the victim must still be alive!"
"So you also know that yours is a low-quality perfume..." Isshiki Dudumaru said speechlessly, then immediately realized, "No, something's not right."
"It seems the excellent Inspector Isshiki has already discovered that the order wasn't placed by a ghost. After all, this is indeed the victim's room. And according to the emotional manuscript, the two people once lived together. Borrowing each other's computers to perform a series of operations shouldn't be difficult. After all, it's online, and this idiot made the same mistake last time." Kamohashi Ron flicked his hair. "I believe you should still remember that incident, Toto."
"I think it was that time when this guy realized I was a police officer and started yelling... He even said something like, 'I can tell from the looks of it that a college student like you wouldn't let someone kill someone...'"
"Who knew you were pretending to be a college student back then! I never thought a police officer would place an order for my perfume!"
"Yeah, we're already aware of this. We also know you didn't realize I wasn't the one who ordered that perfume... The delivery address you filled in was Kamobashi Apartment, and that's exactly the same as Lun's last name!"
"What difference does it make who places the order? In the end, it's all to hook me out! Besides, aren't you roommates? So what's the problem with that Kamonobashi apartment?!"
"Oh, thank you for that," Kamohashi Ron said. "After all, if it weren't for your case, Toto and I wouldn't have met. It was after that case that Toto got the key to my house."
"So actually, Lun and I weren't roommates at that time... We officially became roommates after that case," said Isshiki Totsumaru. "But come to think of it, I think we do have that case to thank for that. If it weren't for that case, I wouldn't have gone to Lun specifically."
Communication expert: “…”
Don't make him sound like a matchmaker! What criminal would play matchmaker for a detective or a criminal police officer?
He is really just a poor, weak and helpless criminal!
And can we just let him go and leave the scene? Aside from the perfume incident, he really has nothing to do with the case...
94
"You just want to leave the scene now, don't you?" As if finally noticing the communication expert's embarrassment, Kamonohashi Ron suddenly spoke with considerable consideration. "Well... after all, apart from that perfume, this case doesn't really seem to have anything to do with you."
"Yes, yes, so please let me go immediately," the communication expert said. "I don't want to have any more contact with the Metropolitan Police Department."
"As long as you don't break the law."
"Why would you assume I'll break the law again? This time I'm just using the pungent smell of cheap perfume as a selling point. After all, this is an objective fact, and it can't be considered fraud or anything like that!"
"You're in such a hurry to leave the scene because of Liar, right?" Kamohashi Ron's words suddenly became very serious. "Am I right, this communication expert?"
"...Ah, haha, what are you talking about? What's the relationship between Liar and me? At most, they use my cheap perfume to identify people. Oh, so I should thank them for giving me business..." Although the communication expert broke out in a cold sweat, he remained very calm. In this kind of situation, he just had to fool around. Even though the person on the other side was that Kamohashi Ron, he didn't necessarily know everything...
"I'm the one who shut down all the illegal software in Liar's background." Kamohashi Ron said coldly.
"What did you say?! That USB drive...!"
"Mr. Oda gave it to me. Incidentally, he also gave me a brooch," Kamonohashi said. "You're a core member, so you should know what it means, right?"
"...I see." The communication expert's tone changed. "But how do you know I'm a member of Liar? You know, many core members don't know me. After all, I'm one of the founding members."
"Of course I have my own methods. For example, that unlucky core group of yours, filled with undercover traitors and idiots, would be obvious just by looking inside. You didn't even change your username," Kamohashi continued. "That's completely wrong. Wouldn't it be completely transparent to the detectives? They could just search for the same account ID and find out all sorts of things..."
Communication expert: "Who would have the time to look up this stuff?"
"Me, oh... and the Divination Prince, I think the illegal access software he uses is also from Liar."
"What did you say?! The Prince of Fortune Telling actually obtained this through illegal access..."
"Uh...yes." Kamohashi Ron said, "You don't believe this, do you?"
"Don't say anymore. My heart has been broken by the Prince of Fortune Telling's illegal software..."
Isshiki Totomaru: "..."
Isshiki Todumaru: "It seems to have had some bad effects, Lun."
95
"Actually, I can't say I don't have any intelligence on this case." The communication expert soon became lively again. "After all, after I was arrested last time for not investigating my clients beforehand, I'll always investigate every client beforehand and only send them the perfume after confirming there's no problem."
"Oh, what kind of investigation?" Kamohashi Ron asked, "After all, you don't plan to meet with the client."
"Of course it's Liar's illegal access software... Uh... Even though the one in Liar is no longer usable, I made the program in Liar, so I can still make another illegal access software..."
"I see." Kamohashi Ron lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Well...it's not that I can't let you return to the Metropolitan Police Department later."
"What's with that look on his face saying I'm just a useful tool? Officer Isshiki, take care of him!"
Isshiki Todumaru: "What the hell is this talk like I'm the guardian of Rin?!"
