Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Let them spread rumors as they please...
34
"'So there's a criminal organization like this hidden in Tokyo! I'll definitely root them out!' Amamiya-senpai declared so confidently back then. Who could have known he was just trying to solve a fraud case?" Isshiki Totsumaru sighed. "Also, as for what happened to you back then, do you really have no memory of it at all?"
"Not at all, that's why I don't want to continue my detective activities." Kamohashi Ron lay straight on the floor of Kamohashi Apartment. Just when Isshiki Totumaru wanted to ask if this was really okay, he realized that the floor was covered with soft cushions.
"Because this is the so-called 'Land of Laziness,' it's convenient for me to live a decadent life of doing nothing in the Kamonobashi Apartment. You saw what happened that day. If it was a murder case, I would unconsciously force the murderer to commit suicide." Kamonobashi Ron sighed. "I consulted many doctors at the time, but none of them could cure this disease. At that time, I thought that I really wasn't cut out to be a detective..."
"A rational decision!"
"But if Dudu can keep a close eye on me, this kind of thing will naturally resolve itself." Kamohashi Ron said, "I'll be your detective assistant. Dudu just needs to bring me the endless stream of difficult cases he can't solve, and I'll take care of the rest..."
Isshiki Todumaru sighed deeply.
"Don't you want to do it?"
"No, that's not the reason. I know my reasoning ability isn't very strong, but...are you not going to do your emotional live broadcast anymore?"
"Of course we'll keep going. The information that appears and spreads online is very useful. After all, wasn't the criminal organization Liar also discovered online?" Kamohashi Ron said with a hint of excitement. "So, it's definitely time to start a livestream."
"Hey, did you switch seamlessly from detective to emotional anchor just like that?!"
"After all, being able to seamlessly switch between social identities is part of being a detective," Kamohashi Ron said seriously. "But, Toto, are you really not going to make a brief appearance on the live stream? You're just showing up as a roommate, not engaging in a live emotional broadcast together. There's absolutely no problem with that."
Isshiki Todumaru: "Will there be any problems if I don't show up?"
"It's no problem. There's a high probability that they will really spread a rumor that you are the cat in my house that sleeps all day and has turned into a spirit, right?" Kamohashi Ron said after thinking for a while.
Isshiki Totomaru: "...then they should just spread rumors as they please."
Kamo no Hashira: "?"
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if neither of them wants to do it. It’s not something that I have to force him to do.
Isshiki Totomaru: I don’t know why, but I feel like if I agree to show up, netizens will make up even more outrageous rumors.
35
When Kamo no Hashira Ron started broadcasting again, there were no comments at first. But later, netizens entered the live broadcast room one after another, and even the comments filled the screen like a frying pan. The core theme was only one:
【Ya Ya, you suddenly started broadcasting without saying anything! 】
[Although it's basically after get off work, how can you be a broadcaster like that? You should have given two hours' notice in advance.]
What's on today?
I really want to know what happened to the girl who caught her boyfriend cheating last time. Didn't she call the police? What was the police investigation result?
Because Isshiki Totsumaru didn't want to show his face during the live broadcast, he asked Kamohashi Ron where the blind spot of the live broadcast that the audience couldn't see was. Kamohashi Ron silently pointed to the front door of his house.
Isshiki Todumaru: "Ron, are you saying that everything will be fine as long as I leave this room?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Kamohashi Ron said, "I simply meant... that gate is a blind spot for the live broadcast."
"Why is the front door of Kamonobashi Apartment a blind spot for live broadcasts?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because this gate pays more attention to one's privacy?" Kamohashi Ron explained.
Isshiki Totomaru: "..."
Your reasons are very good. Don't use this excuse to fool him next time. It's just that when you placed the camera and computer, you didn't think that this door would be a blind spot for the live broadcast!
The comments were urging a follow-up on the police investigation. Kamohashi Ron casually picked up the blue teacup with a platypus sketch on it and asked, "Can I talk about that? The Metropolitan Police Department hasn't planned to release it yet, right?"
Isshiki Todumaru shook his head.
In order to protect the privacy of the victim and the criminal, he thought it would be better not to say it before the police announced it, but... if the young lady who came for emotional counseling told him the situation, he would have no choice. After all, the murderer was the young lady's boyfriend. For various considerations at the time, the Metropolitan Police Department still informed her of the matter.
Kamobashi Ron silently closed the young lady's private message of thanks, and then said to the audience:
"Most people have their own things to do, so they won't respond quickly to private messages. And even if I receive a follow-up, I still have to ask if they allow me to read it out loud," Kamonohashi said with a slightly serious expression, "so this kind of thing can't be forced."
[That's true, what will Yaya broadcast this time?]
[In fact, I can watch Yaya’s face for hours if I point the camera at her.]
If there are no emotional live broadcasts or emotional counseling, why not let Yaya play reasoning games (Devil's Whisper)?
【Then I will maliciously recommend a bad work】
Kamohashi Ron looked at the barrage of comments and thought.
Kamo no Hashiro: "Let's see if there's any new relationship advice."
36
It turned out that after reading all the private messages, Kamohashi Ron fell into silence for a while.
Before opening a private message: emotional counseling.
After opening the private message: A short essay: The other party is really sorry for me.
Kamonohashi's theory: "I'll give a unified response here. If you can point out so many shortcomings in your partner and still not break up, then you're not a masochist. If you don't break up, aren't you just waiting to go home for Christmas?... Of course, there are also those who take advantage of the situation and say that your partner is sorry for you, but in fact it's you who are sorry for them. Do you really think I can't see it?"
Then he clicked on one of the private messages. Considering the other person's privacy, he slightly dragged something on his desktop that could cover the other person's profile picture and ID to blur it out. "For example, this one, you look like a perfect man. I just saw the photos you sent, and most people would think you're a good boyfriend. But basically, all of your photos are staged, right?"
【???】
【Ah, what happened? How come it was staged? 】
[Damn it! I really hate Yaya for blurring out his ID and photos. I can't see the specific details. I can't tell if he's telling the truth or just talking nonsense.]
[But it’s really cool to listen to the ducks talk]
[The host probably made this up for traffic, you can’t see it anyway because it’s censored]
Kamohashi Ron looked at the slightly discordant comment among the others and gave the other person a rare reminder: "Aren't you the one who said I was trying to create a twist last time? Why haven't you given up yet? Do you see the cross in the upper right corner of the computer? Click it and you don't have to read my nonsense anymore."
I really don't want to bother with people like this.
"This guy is a bit too much. You don't need to make up such things just for traffic." Isshiki Todumaru rarely spoke out. "I don't believe you would do such a thing."
At the same time, a message flashed on the barrage.
[I'm the young lady who came for relationship counseling before. I'm the one who mistakenly thought my boyfriend was cheating and Yaya suggested I call the police. Yaya didn't need to make up this kind of information because my boyfriend really did commit a crime!]
37
The comments suddenly became a mess. Half of the people were saying that they seemed to hear the young man's voice again, while the other half were questioning how it could be just an emotional consultation, but the other party's boyfriend actually committed a crime.
Kamohashi Ron ignored the comments and instead watched the livestream, saying, "I know you're watching this, author. Because this case involves other matters, the Metropolitan Police Department hasn't planned to make it public. I appreciate your willingness to defend me, but I don't need it. I've been subjected to far more serious accusations and attacks."
Isshiki Todumaru was slightly stunned. He had been framed and attacked even more severely than this before, so what on earth was this...
Thinking back on it, this guy kept talking about inviting him to be his roommate and partner, but he knew absolutely nothing about his past. He only knew that he suffered from a disease that prevented him from being a detective, but...how could he find out?
Then, Kamonohashi continued to look at the discordant comment, read out his ID, and continued:
"You should be looking for a job right now to pay off your loan instead of watching my livestream. Don't you have a loan that's almost overdue and you don't have the money to pay it back?"
How did you know?!
"I just made it up for traffic." Kamohashi Ron's tone rose slightly. "After all, I'll censor most people's privacy anyway, so no one can see it..."
38
The opponent was obviously deeply broken by Kamohashi Ron's words, and his ID immediately turned gray.
"So does that guy really owe a loan?" Isshiki Todumaru asked with some confusion. He just saw that he came to this conclusion just by finding the other party's IOS account.
"I've already given him a lot of face." Kamohashi Ron put his computer into hibernation and continued, "There's gambling content on his Instagram. Nine out of ten people who gamble use loans."
"What about the remaining one?"
"He's setting up a gambling den."
"And that guy must have lost the gambling just now." Kamohashi Ron said, "But compared to this..." Kamohashi Ron raised his mobile phone and let Isshiki Todumaru take a look at the message that this person had just posted on INS not long ago.
"Lost the bet on Liar, upset."
