The wind is a bit cold.
Sakaki Makoto wrapped his clothes around him and put Ishikawa Hide's business card in his pocket.
Although Ishikawa Hide's proposal is very tempting and sounds very profitable, he can earn 50 million yen in five years...
But what the hell is being a gigolo?
He knew that the gigolo that Ishikawa Hide was talking about was not someone who would just accompany him for drinking and chatting, but someone who would definitely get involved in real life.
He is a handsome man with great talent, but how could he have fallen to the point of selling his body to make a living?
No, absolutely not!
It is impossible for the cowherd to do this, but the IOU is real.
Sakaki Makoto was frowning for a moment. He had never been to Japan, and judging from the style of the buildings on the street, they didn't seem very advanced...
But you can't even see anyone looking down at their phone on the street. Only elementary school students on their way home from school would read comics, and occasionally someone would pass by and make a phone call...
Sakaki Makoto glanced at the black brick in his hand and stopped immediately.
What was that just now?
Big brother?
No, no, no, does anyone still use mobile phones these days?
It should have been eliminated long ago!
I must have seen it wrong...
There was a newsstand not far away. Makoto Sakaki took two steps at a time and rushed over to pick up a copy of today's morning paper.
"Big shock! The savior of the Japanese police, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the young high school detective Kudo Shinichi solved the aquarium murder case! Received a reward of 200,000 yen from the police!"
"The well-known company Shibasaki Shoji Co., Ltd. suddenly declared bankruptcy this morning! President Shibasaki Ichiro refused to be interviewed by reporters and refused to talk about the bankruptcy!"
Publication date: January 8, 2019
Sakaki Makoto: “….”
"The eighth year of Heisei...is it 1996?"
"Don't be ridiculous! Why does it have to be 1996?"
"Also, isn't Sherlock Holmes a character from a novel? A high school student becomes the savior of the Japanese police?"
"This is too much!"
In the world before Sakaki Makoto traveled through time, there was no Gosho Motoyama, and similarly, there was no Detective Conan.
He had never even heard of Kudo Shinichi!
"Hey! Do you want to buy the newspaper or not? If not, put it down!" The owner of the newsstand glared at Sakaki Makoto.
It is very rude to take someone else's newspaper and read it without permission. Sakaki Makoto smiled apologetically and took out a black wallet.
There was only a pitiful 1,000-yuan bill and a few coins in the wallet, a total of 1,530 yen.
In addition, there is a bunch of keys, a personal number card, and two credit cards, one from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and one from Mitsubishi Bank.
The name on the Individual Number Card is Sakaki Makoto, which is similar in pronunciation to his original name, Chen Makoto, and he was born in 1957.
It was obviously not feasible to continue using the previous name. If he wanted to survive in Japan temporarily, he had to accept a new identity.
After hesitating for a while, Sakaki Makoto reluctantly took out the 500 yen coin and handed it to the newsstand owner.
The newsstand owner glanced at him, his expression relaxed, and he muttered as he gave the change, "Really? If you want to buy it, you should pay first. I misunderstood again..."
Four hundred yen coins were handed back.
Sakaki Cheng seized the opportunity and asked, "Boss, can I get money if I help the police solve the case?"
"Ah, you are talking about Kudo Shinichi, right? Don't even think about learning from him. He is a genius and can solve all kinds of cases that leave the police helpless. The rewards are not so easy to get." The boss looked at Sakaki Makoto's outfit and gave a kind reminder.
"In other words, as long as you help the police solve some difficult cases, you can get a reward?" Sakaki Makoto asked back.
"That's right."
This is a way to make money.
In 1996, when the trend was just beginning, there were many ways to make money, but...
Looking at the remaining 1,430 yen in his wallet, Sakaki Makoto reluctantly gave up the idea.
"How much money can you get?" Sakaki Makoto asked seriously, "If you help the police solve the case."
Perhaps because of his bad attitude just now and he wanted to make up for it, the newsstand owner thought for a moment and said, "It ranges from a few thousand yen to several hundred thousand yen...it depends on the case."
"If it's something like helping the police catch a thief, you can only get verbal praise."
"But if you catch the escaped criminal or provide clues, you can get a reward of tens of thousands of yen."
"For people like Kudo Shinichi who directly help the police solve murder cases, of course the reward will be higher, but it will not exceed 300,000."
"If we catch a criminal who intends to threaten national security, the reward will be much higher, maybe even one million."
"Well, this is something that smart people do. Ordinary people like us can't do it."
Seeing that Sakaki Makoto was so interested in solving the case, the newsstand owner asked curiously, "Are you a private detective?"
Sakaki Makoto smiled and said, "I'm a mystery writer, not a detective."
"Oh~" the boss said respectfully: "Do you have any famous works?"
Sakaki Makoto: “….”
If it was him in his previous life, he would have published several books, but after traveling back to his original body...
I'm afraid no one will know even if I tell them.
"No." Sakaki pointed at his clothes and said, "If I had written something, I wouldn't have fallen to this point."
According to Makoto Sakaki's inference, the original person was most likely also a novelist.
The white fingers are covered with thin calluses, which can be seen at a glance as the result of someone who often holds a pen.
