The day Gong Qian Zhiya decided to settle in Beika Town to write a groundbreaking mystery novel, he became neighbors with his idol, Kogoro Mouri.
Gong Qian Zhiya: òvó
But just as he thought he was about to enjoy a happy life with plenty of research material and chances to fangirl, he realized that the first-grader always by his idol’s side was the brilliant top detective. How could his idol himself be such a useless fool?!
Gong Qian Zhiya: =_=
There was no getting back the exorbitant rent, so Gong Qian Zhiya decided to make the best of things and start by making friends!
A guitarist who sang at a bar, a big drinking buddy, a male waiter at Café Poirot, a pink-haired squinty-eyed guy staying at the Kudo house…
His life gradually grew more fulfilling, and Gong Qian Zhiya felt he’d finally fit into Beika Town. Then, before long, all his friends started keeping their distance.
Gong Qian Zhiya: QAQ
What do you mean, don’t go! Did he say something wrong?
His friends hesitated, then asked, “Why are you hanging out with people from the Black or Red sides? What are you really after?”
Once he figured out what was going on…
Gong Qian Zhiya: 0.o
Disguises, undercover agents, voice changers, people from the distillery faking their deaths and turning into kids…
Aren’t you all hot under all those secret identities? But he really is just an ordinary citizen!
【Highlights】
Many original plot elements; apologies for any out-of-character portrayals.
The protagonist has an unusual way of thinking and is genuinely an ordinary citizen with no secret identities.
All five members of the Police Academy group are alive, though they won’t all appear.
Theme: Keep striving to improve yourself.
