"You can tell me this, which means you don't treat me as an outsider. I'm very happy."

"Don't worry, even if Akutagawa doesn't help you, I can still help you."

"I'm basically in charge of my mother's Armed Detective Agency now. Maybe I can't deal with those powerful ghosts and gods, but I'm more than capable of providing intelligence support and dealing with some minions and cannon fodder."

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt somewhat grateful but also somewhat confused.

There were only the two of them here, so he just asked.

"Yuichi, you help me so much. Why?"

He only said half of his words, but Kudo Yuichi immediately understood.

The detective from the Collectibles Association looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with an expression that became so gentle that it was a little corny.

"You want to ask me why I help you so much?"

"Well, you are worth my investment. I know your character. Now that I have helped you, when I need you in the future, I am afraid that I can gain a super strong thug with just one sentence - these are all clichés, and I have indeed thought about it."

“But that’s not the main reason.”

"Qing, do you know what my ability is?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi thought for a few seconds and said hesitantly, "Super reasoning?"

Kudo Yuichi shook his head repeatedly.

"No, that's just an excuse. I was born with the [Palace of Mind], I have a photographic memory, I think many times faster than an average person, and my IQ is also very high. These are not extraordinary abilities."

"There are so many people in this world, and there are always a few who are extraordinary. I am one of them."

"One of the abilities I truly inherited from the heroic spirit of Edogawa Ranpo is called [Bright Heart]."

“Know good and evil, and understand people’s hearts.”

"I can sense other people's kindness and malice towards me, and I can easily tell whether this person is lying to me."

"Qing, there are too many lies in this world."

"My parents, my relatives, my classmates, and my subordinates."

"I am already a little overwhelmed by all the various excuses or lies that are trivial but real."

"Until I met you."

"Maybe you don't feel anything, but I know you've never lied to me."

“For me, it’s so rare that it’s precious.”

"I don't have any friends. I never consider those who I know for personal connections and mutual benefit as my friends."

"In my opinion, only those who do not deceive each other can be called friends."

"You're my only friend, Qing."

"If I don't help you, who can I help?"

Chapter 85 The friendship between gentlemen

Uesugi Kiyoshi is not a person who cannot lie.

He just doesn't like lying to his friends, especially friends like Kudo Yuichi who are very considerate of others and understand the ways of the world.

When it comes to his enemies, he has no taboos.

Sometimes, when he doesn't want to say something, Kudo Yuichi will stop talking and not ask any further questions - he is a mature and stable person who is very comfortable to interact with, and the friendship between them has a bit of the flavor of a gentleman's friendship.

Everyone has secrets.

For Uesugi Kiyoshi, a friend is someone who can tolerate each other's shortcomings and secrets and help each other in times of difficulty.

That's it.

What Kudo Yuichi said was right. The great detective had seen through his character. He had received so much care from Kudo Yuichi. If the roles were reversed one day and the person in need of help became someone else, Uesugi Kiyoshi would not say a word even if it meant going through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

He didn't want to disappoint those who had helped him.

"That's a bit strict, Yuichi. You'll end up being a loner if you keep doing this."

"If everyone were to tear off their disguises and be honest with each other, I'm afraid human relationships would no longer exist in this world."

Uesugi Kiyoshi said this in a joking tone.

Communication between people is originally woven with countless lies. In life, study, and work, for some trivial matters that are difficult to explain and insignificant, a well-placed lie can save a lot of trouble.

If Kudo Yuichi can't even tolerate this level of lies, then the so-called "socializing" may be a torment for him.

how to say

Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly felt a little sorry for Kudo Yuichi.

Kudo Yuichi waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Hey, I've gotten used to it over the years. Even my own parents fool their son from time to time. How can I expect everyone to treat me with sincerity?"

"Just bear with it, it won't kill you."

"Besides, don't we still have you?"

"To be honest, Qing, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have stayed in school for so long. I'm not interested in playing friendly games with those high school students."

"Chatting with you is really one of the few entertainment activities I have. You are really my life-saving medicine~"

Uesugi Kiyoshi got goosebumps when he heard these words - they were sincere and heartfelt indeed, but coming from a man, it was too disgusting.

He glanced at Kudo Yuichi with disdain and shuddered exaggeratedly.

"Ms. Yamazaki, have you ever seen you like this? Please use your affection in the right place and on the right person. I beg you to do that. Thank you."

Kudo Yu shrugged nonchalantly.

"In Kana-chan's eyes, I am perfect. Even if she sees me in my most miserable state, it cannot shake my image in her heart."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes immediately became ambiguous.

"Hey! Kana-chan, what a friendly name you use. I was wondering why you were so indifferent to the confessions of those little girls. Do you have someone you already love?"

Kudo Yuichi did not show any embarrassment or shyness at all, he just looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Yes, Kana is someone I have spent a long time nurturing since she was a child, and I have cultivated her into the candidate for my fiancée who best matches my personality - didn't I tell you that?"

"What the hell did you say!" -- This is what Uesugi Kiyoshi originally wanted to complain about.

He thought for a moment, grasped the key point of the passage, and changed his words temporarily.

"From childhood to adulthood?"

"."

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen years old. I'm in the same grade as you. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"

"."

"How old is Miss Yamazaki?"

"Twenty-four years old."

After hearing Kudo Yuichi's answer without hesitation, Uesugi Kiyoshi blinked, with a very strange expression on his face.

"At what age did you start your [cultivation]?"

Kudo Yuichi pretended to count with his fingers and said seriously, "About seven years old?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi was immediately shocked.

"Are you a pervert?"

Whose child starts to develop a fiancée at the age of seven? And she is a girl seven or eight years older than you. When you were seven, she was almost in high school!

Kudo Yuichi looked at you and said, "You're making a fuss!" and shook his head indifferently.

"This age difference is not uncommon. I can't do anything about it. Qing, I'm not from an ordinary family. I have the right to choose my future wife, but the scope of the choice is determined by my parents."

"I have the ability to fight back, but I can't do it."

"Being different and rebellious is not a good thing, at least not in Japan."

"I was born in the Kudo family, so I must bear the responsibilities of the Kudo family. Many people are like this - for example, Akutagawa. Do you think he wants to pretend to be someone else? What else can I do about the family inheritance?"

"I'm going to get married in the future, and my wife must be of equal status."

"My father is a high-ranking official in Sakuradamon, and my grandfather has deep connections in the police department. After I graduate from high school, I should be admitted to the University of Tokyo, and then take the civil service exam directly. I will then go through the formalities of the Metropolitan Police Department's Police University, and then enter the police force and naturally take over the family's resources."

Kudo Yuichi spread his hands helplessly. Although his expression was a little gloomy, he did not show any resistance.

Maybe he has regarded this as his responsibility and obligation.

"Kana is the one I like the most among the candidates for my fiancée. She has a great personality and looks."

"So, I showed her my best side, made her like me, and finally, in the process of interacting with her, I subtly influenced her personality and made her the type that best matched me. We were willing, we loved each other, and everyone was happy. What's so strange about this?"

Not to mention how a seven-year-old child could make a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl feel good about him, Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned and thought about this passage for a while. He always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

At the end, he murmured: "Well, I always feel that you made a scumbag statement, but I can't find any fault with you."

"Isn't this really considered cheating?"

Kudo Yuichi and Uesugi Kiyoshi are good friends, so he doesn't care about such rude words, but that doesn't stop him from making a sharp counterattack.

"Oh my god, Uesugi-kun, who obviously didn't accept the confession but kept a mistress in his house, started living with his college wife, and had an ambiguous relationship with his junior sister, actually said that I was a scumbag."

"It's hard to describe this feeling. I feel offended."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was choked on the spot and almost suffocated to death. He thought for a long time but could not find a rebuttal. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Rin and I are innocent, don't talk nonsense!"

Kudo Yuichi smiled strangely.

"So, you don't intend to refute the first half of the sentence?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
