Late at night on the same day, the flower house Longzhi came out of Tongsheng Dojo and went straight to Banqiao district.


    Banqiao district is one of the industrial zones in Tokyo, with a large number of factories and R & D facilities of some enterprises.


    Japan''s latest development plan is gradually transferring factories in zone 23 of Tokyo to surrounding satellite cities such as eight princes, but this plan has just begun to be implemented.


    There are still a large number of factories in Banqiao district. These factories produce day and night, and the workers work in three shifts to keep the machines running all year round.


    Banqiao district is brightly lit at night, but it is not neon lights, but industrial magnesium lights. The whole area has a mechanical texture and is full of cyberpunk.


    The same picture will appear in China''s coastal cities and suburban industrial areas in decades.


    The flower house Longzhi drove his little motorcycle into a small factory with black lights.


    The small factory is built against a four storey building with bright lights. The convenience store on the first floor open to night shift workers is in normal operation.


    The florist Longzhi got off the motorcycle, locked the car, found the side door of the small factory and knocked.


    The next moment, an old xenon lamp, which I don''t know where I came from, lit up to illuminate Longzhi''s face.


    While the light is on, the CCTV indicator light in the upper right corner of the iron gate lights up, and the lens is aimed at Longzhi, the flower house.


    Then the iron door opened with a clang.


    Longzhi pushed the door in and locked the door.


    The workshop is full of mechanical devices and various cans. The lights on the second floor of the duplex structure can see someone busy on it.


    "I haven''t seen you for months. There are so many sundries here," longzhilang said


    "Be careful. There''s something in these cans that''s not friendly." A slightly tired voice came from the second floor.


    "No matter how unfriendly you are, can you be more unfriendly than the people?" The florist Longzhi joked.


    "That really can''t, but it''s OK to hit you hard." The voice on the second floor replied, "come up. Let me see what trouble you have caused me. "


    The florist Longzhi smiled and walked upstairs. On the second floor, he saw the pale middle-aged man sitting behind the long table.


    "Damn it," he said, "you look like a vampire, as if you would turn into ash in the sun."


    "Maybe so." The middle-aged man replied.


    The florist Longzhi laughed and sat opposite the middle-aged man across the long table.


    As he sat down, he smelled a strange smell: "what''s the smell?"


    "What else can it taste? Don''t you know what factory I have here?"


    "Can fake wine still have this taste?"


    "No, this time it''s fake washing powder. One bag is mixed with two-thirds of the cheap material, but it doesn''t affect the foaming. In fact, when I test the things I mixed, the foaming is stronger than the genuine ones, but I just can''t wash the things. "


    The florist Longzhi laughed: "isn''t stronger foaming equal to stronger washing ability? The popular science books I saw personified soap bubbles into soldiers fighting against stains. There are more soldiers, but they can''t wash them clean? "


    "What children''s picture books do you read there? They can''t be taken seriously." The middle-aged man waved, "so what trouble did you give me? Let me explain first. I don''t deal with corpses. You''d better call them "cleaning houses". However, recently, the police began to introduce a lamp. Even if the blood is diluted to the extreme, as long as a little remains, there will be fluorescence in the past. "


    "Who do you think I am?" The florist was shocked.


    "I think you''ll get involved in this sooner or later." The middle-aged man shrugged.


    "Don''t be kidding. I''m looking for you. Help me see what this thing is made of." The florist Longzhi took out the blue pill he got from he ma and threw it to the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man caught the pill and put on his glasses to observe it carefully.


    "Dyed cod liver oil?" He said his first feeling.


    "If so, that''s good. This is a nutrient that is very popular in the entertainment industry recently. It is said that it can help improve your acting skills after taking it. "


    The middle-aged man frowned: "improve your acting skills? I''ve heard that drugs can improve concentration and explosive power. It''s the first time to improve acting skills. Isn''t that something that can be done by concentration? "


    He stood up and took the pill to his workbench.


    "Shall I destroy one first?" He asked.


    "No problem." The florist Longzhi waved his hand.


    The middle-aged man came to the instrument, took a pill and put it on the slide. He pricked it gently with tweezers and squeezed the liquid inside onto the slide.


    While working, he continued: "I''ve heard of the use of stimulants to improve the excitement in the entertainment industry, but the effect is not good, because sometimes it''s easy to use too much force when you''re too excited. In addition, it is not uncommon for actors to use anesthetics to reduce stress. "


    The florist Longzhi said, "I know all this. I''m Fang Chun''s entertainment journal. No one knows the dirty of the performing arts circle better than me. However, if you have actual evidence that a big name uses anesthetic, I''ll pay a high price. "


    "Don''t put your mind on your old friend." The middle-aged man sighed, "I really doubt if you will poke me out if you lack material in the future."


    "It''s impossible. Our magazine doesn''t cover the poor life of poor chemists."


    "Your words hurt me a little."


    "Are you still afraid of such harm?" The florist Longzhi joked.


    The middle-aged chemist smiled helplessly: "shit, if you bury me again, maybe I''ll be cruel to build that thing."


    "Then I''ll report you to the anesthetics management section and receive the bonus according to the kilogram." The florist Longzhi said dismissively.


    The two talked without a word. About 30 minutes later, the middle-aged man said definitely, "this is a nutrient."


    The florist Longzhi was surprised: "is it really a nutrient? You didn''t lie to me? "


    "Really, vitamin ABC, a little B2 and some amino acids are all harmless things."


    "What about addiction?"


    "Not at all. Unless you tell me vitamin C can also produce dependence. However, I seem to be a little dependent on vitamin C recently... "


    The florist Longzhi interrupted his old friend''s reading: "look at another one."


    "All right."


    After another moment, the middle-aged chemist shook his head: "this component is the same as the other. If it contains zinc, I can also say that it has brain tonic effect. Now this ingredient can''t improve acting skills anyway. Where did you get this? Won''t you be cheated? "


    Florist Longzhi shook his head: "it''s impossible. The source of this thing should be reliable. This should be the medicine that can improve acting skills spread in the performing arts circle now. Lend me the phone. "


    "Over there." The middle-aged man pointed to the telephone hanging on the wall.


    The florist Longzhi immediately went over and picked up the receiver. Then he complained, "Why are you still using the turntable phone?"


    "I like the sound when the turntable turns back. What''s the matter, no?" The chemist replied.


    The florist Longzhi shook his head and patiently broadcast the phone number.


    There came a ring tone. After three rings, Tongsheng and the horse''s voice came from there: "Moses?"


    "It''s me, florist Longzhi. The test results come out. The pills you gave me were vitamins and harmless amino acids. "


    "True or false." Tongsheng and Ma on the phone were suspicious.


    "I''m also surprised, but the brother who tested is my acquaintance, which is reliable. Either you were hoodwinked when you took the medicine, or this thing has another mystery. "


    Over there, Tongsheng and Ma were silent for a few seconds and replied, "I remember those guys who hung up when I joined the Yulong flag in Kyushu... It''s all right. I''ll tell you in detail when you come."


    "Wow, don''t do that. If you always set up a flag like this, it will come true one day."


    "Then I''ll double it for you."


    "But then I can''t be resurrected. I still have the ideal of life not realized... What are you laughing at? I really have an ideal! "


    Tongsheng and Ma: "meet again, that''s it."


    Then the phone was hung up and there was a busy tone.


    The chemist stared at the florist Longzhi: "the one on the phone is worried that someone is eavesdropping, isn''t it? What are you in trouble with? Don''t take me in when you should die. There''s a public telephone booth when you go out and turn left! You use my landline to call... "


    The florist Longzhi grinned, "now you''re in the same boat with us."


    Then he took out an envelope from his pocket and threw it on the table: "test fee. I''ll go first. "


    "Wait a minute! You bastard, tell me what ship I got on! "


    "Ordinary boats will be overturned by the waves of the times at any time." The florist Longzhi waved and went down the stairs without looking back.


    His leather shoes made a crisp sound on the floor of the stairs.


    The chemist asked, "at least tell me who the enemy is. Let me die and understand!"


    "Welfare technology!" The florist Longzhi left this sentence, opened the iron gate of the factory and went out.


    The chemist looked at his open door and frowned slightly: "well-being technology? Isn''t that the one who sells physiotherapy instruments? What danger can they have? "


    Outside the iron gate of the workshop, the sound of motorcycle starting came, and the rumbling sound quickly went away.


    **


    And Ma put down the phone, frowned and held their chin in meditation.


    That medicine is really a vitamin


    The guys trained by welfare Technology in Yulong banner also seem to eat vitamins, but they think they are stimulants.


    Welfare technology has been able to use psychological cues to add buffs to people at will?


    It doesn''t make sense.


    He and Ma followed the guy named sugu on the Yulong flag. Obviously, he not only used the vitamins provided by welfare technology, but also often participated in the training of welfare technology.


    But I haven''t heard from RI Nanli that her mother asked her to go to any training class.


    It seems that we have to dig deep to see the truth.


    And Ma were thinking, chiyoko came from the kitchen, stood at the connection between the porch and the corridor, and asked anxiously, "who called?"


    "Our big reporter. That pill is just an ordinary nutrient. I doubt it can be effective only if it is combined with other activities of welfare technology. "


    Chiyoko blinked: "brother, you''re like a criminal policeman investigating a case now. Why don''t you just drop out of Dongda and become a criminal policeman directly? Anyway, brother, you prefer to run to the scene rather than sit in the office? "


    He kissed the horse.


    After graduating from Dongda and passing the first-class civil service examination, it is really possible to become an administrative staff sitting in the office.


    And college dropouts directly into the police station, from the inspection, you can be sure to often run to the scene.


    But directly from the patrol to the top, it''s like the white bird police department.


    And Ma: "are you sure? After graduating from Dongda, the police department makes up for it. The salary is 800 thousand years. The small patrol is much less than this. "


    Chiyoko sighed: "yes... No money! Why didn''t I agree to sell the dojo! It''s broken. You can''t make money if you keep it. You have to pay property tax! "


    In fact, real estate tax is a popular saying. The correct name is fixed assets tax and urban planning tax.


    The fixed assets tax is 1.4% of the total valuation of land and buildings, and the urban planning tax is 0.3% of the total valuation. Together, there is a tax rate of 1.7%.


    The real estate tax of HEMA''s Dojo and yard is estimated according to the average price of Tokyo. It will be directly cooled according to the previous developer''s valuation and ma.


    Even according to the average price, this is a tax of hundreds of thousands every year.


    Because Japan has a high real estate tax, even famous baseball players who earn hundreds of millions of yen a year rent houses in Tokyo. They buy houses in remote places or their hometown after retirement - because the land price is cheap.


    Chiyoko sighed, "brother, you know, in my class, girls talk about boyfriends and cosmetics all day. I can''t talk at all. My mind is full of annuities, taxes, utilities and what fish to eat tonight. "


    And Ma Xin thought, we can still worry about what fish to eat tonight. When we are 50 or 60 years old, the fish in the water can''t eat because of nuclear radiation. At that time, we can tell our grandchildren how delicious the fish is and greedy them.


    Chiyoko: "I want to spend every day like an ordinary girl."


    And Ma: "you can also talk about boyfriends with your girlfriends."


    "I don''t have it!" Chiyoko sighed again.


    And Ma was surprised: "no?"


    "No!"


    "What is Ah Mao?"


    "Brother, you are so noisy! Ah, Mao, this is a crucial moment in the sprint. We can''t distract him. " Chiyoko said firmly, "for this reason, I want to keep an eye on those ill intentioned women!"


    Of course, he ma knew who chiyoko meant. He scratched his head: "RI Nan probably doesn''t have to worry. I don''t think she''s interested in Ah Mao. She just pretends to be interested by teasing you."


    Chiyoko: "really, I don''t believe it."


    And horse two hands a stand, do not argue with chiyoko.


    Chiyoko suddenly said, "by the way, brother, have you ever become a tax actuary among your senior brothers?"


    "Yes." And Ma recalled. I didn''t expect a specific person, but Dongtang university has graduates all over the three circles of politics, business and finance. There must be some tax actuaries, "why?"


    "Of course, let him make tax avoidance plans for us! If it''s a senior brother, I don''t think we''ll charge money for the friendship of our fellow disciples? "


    Chiyoko''s eyes have been shining. In the cold winter air, her hot eyes make people feel a trace of warmth.


    There are professional tax actuaries in Japan who will be entrusted to help people formulate tax avoidance plans - this work is a bit like what Andy, the protagonist in Shawshank''s redemption, did in prison.


    For example, some cartoonists, under the guidance of the tax actuary, include their expenses for buying comics and that kind of book into the material consumption, so that their net income on the tax statements will be reduced and the income tax to be paid will be greatly reduced.


    It is said that some cartoonists wanted to include the money they lost in playing mahjong in the cost of materials, but failed. They had to suspend publication for a long time and reduce their income to avoid tax.


    It''s just said.


    He ma seriously considered chiyoko''s suggestion: now, based on the income level of Tongsheng family, it is obviously not cost-effective to hire a tax actuary to avoid tax. The tax avoided may not be as good as other people''s commission.


    But if a senior brother can help for free, it''s pure money.


    She is worthy of being my sister. She has become more and more proficient in wool collection.


    Chiyoko: "if brother doesn''t have such a senior brother, we''ll borrow an accountant from baonaimei. Baonaimei won''t ask us for money."


    ... worthy of my sister!


    Chiyoko clapped his hands: "OK, that''s it. I''ll tell baonaimei when she comes tomorrow."


    HEMA: "all right, just tell her, and I won''t participate."


    "Yes, brother, don''t linger. Go teach ah Mao to read!"


    "No, wait a minute. Although I''m a college student, I usually have a lot of free time, but I also have to write a report. Now it''s the end of the term..."


    Qiandaizi couldn''t help but say that he came behind he ma and pushed him forward. As he walked, he said, "then write next to Ah Mao. When he has no questions, you write. Who won''t let you write."


    "No, you haven''t become his girlfriend yet. Why do you turn your elbow out?"


    "You care about me!"


    "I tell you, I''m not happy if you say so. If I''m not happy, I won''t nod my head on your marriage. If he wants to take you away, he will defeat me..."


    "Brother, are you so! You, the heiress of the sword saint, the hero of Osaka, the prince charming and Savior of Baifeng Qingliu, the nemesis of KGB and the animal trainer of meijiazi, why are you so fussy? "


    And Ma: "you are missing a kalisi of Kagoshima."


    "What the hell is kalisi! Forget it, Kari hee of Kagoshima, who doesn''t understand natural rational flow, is it all right?


    "You have so many titles, how can ah Mao beat you? You either say you don''t want me to marry, then I won''t marry, but you see, my sister-in-law is at home all day, and it''s inconvenient for you and your future sister-in-law, isn''t it?"


    And the horse shook his head: "no, I think it''s very convenient. Anyway, you turn your elbow so outward. As the owner of the house, I will card you. You don''t want to get married without the blessing of your family, do you? How embarrassing it will be if a relative of yours doesn''t arrive at the wedding! "


    Meijiazi: "there are no relatives over there. It seems that there is no difference."


    He raised his eyebrows with the horse - ah, yes, Ah Mao has only one mother whose life and death are uncertain, and it is estimated that he can''t come back.


    Wait, isn''t I equivalent to Ah Mao''s father now?


    He ma showed qiandaizi a thief smile: "I suddenly remembered that I am now the guardian of Ah Mao. That''s easy. I won''t agree with Ah Mao to marry you then! "


    Chiyoko gasped: "you... Well, brother ~ you concentrate on writing the report. Do you want to eat some brain tonic snacks?"


    Looking at the smiling qiandaizi, he and Ma suddenly felt cold: "don''t do this. I can''t stand your sudden change."


    But chiyoko still kept a charming smile and hugged HEMA from behind: "brother, I think you like the way meijiazi hugged you from behind. Now meijiazi has gone home to live. Do you think it''s cold behind him? It doesn''t matter, sister. I''ll take on the responsibilities that meijiazi''s sister can''t do! "


    And the horse: "stop! Don''t do like that! If the flower house Longzhi sees this scene, he will be very happy to send us to the cover of Fang Chun! "


    "The florist sang is very assassian. Just like you, brother, assassi will certainly not do so." Chiyoko is still playing hard, rubbing his nose on the horse''s back.


    At this time, the stairs connecting the porch heard the sound of things landing.


    And Ma looked up. She was sister gaojianze, who was going downstairs to fetch water with a water cup.


    Her water cup fell to the ground and stared at Tong''s brothers and sisters.


    Chiyoko bounced off the horse like a spring: "no! I''m playing with my brother! "


    Sister, is your explanation different from the absence of three hundred taels of silver here?


    Gao Jianze picked up the cup, dropped the sentence "I didn''t see anything" and slipped away.


    Chiyoko blushed, and then slapped him and the horse: "it''s all your fault, brother!"


    "Why do you blame me? Be reasonable, I stopped you! "


    "You won''t let me and... Ah, I won''t say it! It''s all your fault! " Chiyoko ran away with his face covered.


    And the horse looked at the direction of her escape and spread their hands.


    Forget it, write the report.


    **


    The next day, he and the horse did morning exercises as usual.


    Since a Mao pushed off all his work, he would also do morning exercises with Ma and would not go to school until it was over.


    This is also one of the few opportunities to talk with Ma except to teach him how to solve problems.


    This morning and Ma decided to fight with the apprentice after a long absence.


    He and the horse were holding a bamboo knife. They didn''t move, but asked, "how''s the review recently? Are you sure about the national joint examination? "


    If you can''t pass the national joint examination, you don''t even have the qualification to sign up for the recruitment examination of each school. Therefore, this is the first difficulty for those who want to test Dongda.


    However, for those who set the goal at Dongda, the national joint examination is basically equivalent to taking a form.


    But Ah Mao is different. It''s only two years since Ah Mao''s prodigal son turned back. Before that, he was not studying at all.


    In the era of liberal education, it may take two years to become a learning bully from scratch.


    But now it is the Showa era, and Japan''s education sector has not been fooled by the United States to start easing education.


    Mao showed a confident expression: "if you take the joint examination, it''s not a big problem. But... "


    And Ma suddenly launched an attack on Mao.


    Of course, because it was the practice under the Kendo rules, he ma still shouted out the target of attack: face!


    But Mao''s block is still a step late.


    And Xian ge of Ma Zhudao pointed at the bridge of Mao''s nose: "you''re afraid. I still can''t forget the results of the last national simulation, can I? "


    Mao bit his lips and nodded.


    "You should know," and Ma took back the bamboo knife, "I also got a C before the exam, right?"


    "Those are the people of Jidao..."


    "How can you be sure that Jidao didn''t do it this time?" And Ma interrupted Ah Mao, "you can''t be sure, can you? So, that''s what Jidao did. From now on, it should be like this. You don''t have to think about second best. You can apply for a voluntary school that has obtained the judgment of B. "


    "But that''s better than..."


    "There is an old Chinese saying," he ma interrupted Ah Mao again, "if you want to get it, you must ask for it."


    He finished in Chinese and then explained, "it means that if you want to achieve goal a, you must pursue higher-level goals. If you choose another school where you can get B judgment in order to be stable, you may not even be able to pass that school. "


    Mao nodded vigorously, "I understand."


    And the horse attacked again. This time, the target was Ah Mao''s arm. He didn''t shout out for prompt. At the same time, he also added the sword speed to the fastest.


    A Mao chose to cut, but the speed obviously didn''t keep up.


    And Ma''s bamboo knife let go of its strength before touching Ah Mao''s arm.


    And Ma: "no, this is not the sword of the legal knight. Sure enough, it''s right to practice with you. There''s a big problem with your mentality. "


    Mao looked up at he Ma: "master, I..."


    "Let me say again, you can not think about applying for a private school as a minimum when you are admitted to Dongda. I can''t afford private tuition, absolutely not. "


    National universities are admitted on the same day. In principle, only one candidate can be selected - unless the candidate knows the art of shadow separation.


    Therefore, if you want to choose another school to ensure the minimum, it must be a national and a private school.


    Mao nodded solemnly, "I understand."


    HEMA: "now that you understand, it''s reflected in your sword. I don''t remember teaching such a weak apprentice. "


    Mao: I understand


    "Speak up! No spirit! " And the horse roared, emitting rolling courage at the same time.


    Mao bit his teeth and roared, "I understand!"


    As he did so, the entry on his head glowed slightly.


    Although it was only a faint light, judging from the horse, he should cheer up a little.


    That means it works.


    So he and the horse continued to roar, "no! Boring! Do you still want to test Dongda in such a low voice? "


    Mao continued to raise his voice and shouted, "yes! I want to be admitted to Dongda! "


    And Ma saw that Mao''s entry was a little brighter, so he repeated his old skill: "I can''t hear you! Your master says you can''t hear, you just can''t hear! Come again! "


    ……


    After repeated several times, the brightness of the entry above Ah Mao''s head was finally barely acceptable.


    It seems that shouting can slightly improve the state of depression, but we can''t rely on it completely.


    Sure enough, we still need some opportunities to continue to guide Ah Mao.


    And Ma attacked again, but this time ah Mao reluctantly blocked it.


    Although it can''t compare with the level of a Mao at ordinary times, it is much better than the state that can''t be prevented just now.


    And Ma: "good. I can feel your consciousness coming back. Now you attack. Show your determination to defeat me! "


    A maojia good sword: "yes! I''m going to attack! "


    The next moment he stepped forward and attacked with a knife——


    And the horse easily blocked the sword: "continue! Don''t stop! Attack as fast as you can! "


    "Yes!" Mao continued to attack as ordered by and ma.


    The whole Dojo was filled with the clatter of bamboo knives.


    **


    Chiyoko looked at the situation in the ashram through the crack of the door and sighed softly: "sure enough, it''s still my brother who can count on it. I can''t let Ah Mao relax at all. "


    "What, Xiaoqian, do you want Ah Mao to relax?" RI Nanli food suddenly appeared around chiyoko and said with a smile.


    Chiyoko was startled. He screamed and jumped aside. As soon as he saw that it was sunanli food, he wrinkled his face: "why don''t you knock?"


    "I knocked, but no one answered the door. Maybe someone kept shouting ''boring'' and ''yes'' in the dojo at that time, so you didn''t hear it. Anyway, I came in without locking the door. " Qiandaizi frowned and said, "you don''t treat yourself as an outsider, do you? Also, the dojo doesn''t teach on Sundays. "“ I have a date with your brother today, about ~ meeting ~ "RI Nanli said with a smile:" although the appointment is to meet at the central station, a sudden attack at this time is a bonus! Xiao Qian, you should remember this one well. You can use it in the future. "“ I don''t remember it. Why do I remember the experience of losers? " Chiyoko said unhappily“ Hee hee, it seems that Xiaoqian is super confident. " RI Nanli chuckled, suddenly opened the door of the ashram and shouted to the two teachers and disciples who were still fighting passionately in the ashram, "good morning!" A Mao was instantly distracted. He and Ma seized the opportunity to fight back and directly knocked the bamboo knife to the ground. And Ma: "Ah Mao! Swordsmen can''t be distracted! Although I''ve taught you to watch and listen, it''s different from distraction! You should keep your eyes and ears open while staring at your opponent! " RI Nanli food shouted: "senior! Is that too hard? "“ It''s not difficult. I can do it. " And Ma looked back at RI Nanli food and changed his tone, "why did you come here? Didn''t you say ten o''clock at the central station? "“ If I come here now, I can have a sweet time with my predecessors all morning! " RI Nanli food said and entered the dojo, three steps came to he Ma''s face, and then turned around, "how about the combination of this dress and coat?" And the horse thumbed up: "yes, very pure and lovely."—— Is to cover the edge of your strongest weapon. He left this sentence in his stomach. RI Nanli food laughed very happily: "hum, I''m afraid I''m the second best in this Taoist temple in choosing clothes!" And Ma: "what, just the second best?"“ Yes, I don''t think I can win the Shengong Temple sister. " And the horse thought, indeed. He put away the bamboo knife and said to Ah Mao, who still held the knife position, "that''s it today. I''ve sweated a lot. I''m afraid your mood is much better than just now. Take a bath, have breakfast and get ready to review. "“ Yes. Master, are you going out today? " And the horse nodded, "yes. I''m going to work today. Go to the masked Knight set and do a long trick. " Mao''s eyes suddenly stared at the boss: "go to the masked Knight set?"“ Yes. " Nodding with the horse, he suddenly remembered how his apprentice''s entry of the legal Knight came, so he showed a boastful expression, "how, envy?" Mao nodded: "envy, very envy." He hesitated and said, "master! Can you let me go and have a look? " And the horse thought and nodded, "OK, you just change your mood." Chiyoko said loudly, "brother! Ah Mao wants to learn! " And Ma: "shut up, I has the final say, Alma, come on."
