Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

Page 17

Matsuda rubbed his temples; he hadn't expected to be seasick.

Following Megure, the group arrived at the community center on Tsukikage Island.

This is the primary crime scene. Upon arriving, Matsuda saw Ran standing with a beautiful woman in a purple suit.

"Officer Matsuda, are you alright?"

Ran noticed that Matsuda's face was a little pale and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just a little seasick." Matsuda looked around. "Where are Mr. Mori and that brat Conan?"

“Something happened last night, and Dad stayed up very late watching over us. He should still be sleeping now,”

Ran replied, "As for Conan, he was just here a moment ago, but now I don't know where he's gone."

"By the way, who is this...?" Matsuda looked at the beautiful woman in the purple suit.

"Hello, Officer Matsuda! My name is Asai Narumi, and I'm a doctor from Tsukikage Island," the beautiful woman introduced herself confidently.

Chapter 20 Should we stop him?

Wow, he looks so cute, you can't tell at all that he's a man dressed as a woman!

Matsuda carefully examined the beautiful doctor, and was about to say something when, unexpectedly, a police officer from the First Division came out and shouted.

"Matsuda, Inspector Megure plans to interrogate all relevant people first, and wants you to go to the scene first."

"understood!"

Matsuda nodded and was about to walk towards the community center.

Suddenly I felt dizzy and lightheaded, then everything went black, and I knew nothing more.

……

In his daze, Matsuda felt as if he was resting his head on something.

It was soft and fragrant... As he gradually regained consciousness, Matsuda realized that it seemed to be a beautiful woman giving him a lap pillow.

Could it be Xiaolan?

That's right, she's the only beautiful woman I know on this island.

However, Ran has a great figure; Kudo is really lucky.

As Matsuda was sighing, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling his name.

"Officer Matsuda, Officer Matsuda..."

"Don't move, Ran, let me lie down a little longer," Matsuda said instinctively.

"Hey! Get up!"

Conan leaned right up to Matsuda's ear and shouted.

"You brat, what are you yelling for...?"

Matsuda opened his eyes, about to teach Conan a lesson, when he immediately realized something was wrong.

Conan and Ran were standing right in front of him. Who was the person who gave him a lap pillow?

Matsuda turned his head and looked up.

Then he saw the beautiful woman he had seen before... the handsome man, Dr. Asai Narumi, smiling down at him.

"Sorry, sorry." Matsuda hurriedly got up.

He's not gay. Asai Narumi is very beautiful, but the fact that he's male is the biggest problem!

"Hey, who did you think you were resting your head on just now?" Conan asked with a dark face.

"Mind your own business, you brat!" Matsuda gave Conan a hard smack on the head.

"Boom!"

Damn it! Conan covered his head, his face filled with grief and indignation.

That bastard Matsuda! He bullied me, and now he's even eyeing Ran!

I must beat Xiaolan this time!

Make him lose face! Make him lose all his prestige in front of Xiaolan!

"Officer Matsuda, you must have been lacking rest these past few days and also suffered from seasickness, which is why you fainted."

Dr. Chengshi took a piece of chocolate out of her pocket.

"Eat some chocolate and rest for a while, and you should be fine."

"Thank you."

Matsuda took the chocolate and began asking about the case while eating it.

He remembers the culprit in this case very clearly, without needing any summoning of his spirit: the doctor Cheng Shi who was dressed as a woman beside him.

What's missing now is evidence.

Moreover, Matsuda was somewhat hesitant about whether to expose Dr. Narumi.

After all, the person he killed was not only the enemy who had harmed his entire family, but also a drug dealer.

Unable to obtain any further information from Ran and the others, Matsuda went into the community center, hoping to discover something new.

Inside the community center, Inspector Megure was questioning each person involved in the incident.

"By the way, Matsuda, take a look at this."

Megure waved his hand and stuffed a piece of paper into Matsuda's hand.

"Brother Matsuda, take a look, could there be some hidden information on this?"

Matsuda looked down and saw... sheet music...

"Inspector, do I look like someone who plays music?" Matsuda said helplessly. "I don't recognize a single symbol in this stuff."

……

After working for most of the day, Matsuda was still hesitant.

Conan, standing to the side, also looked worried.

He had tried his best to hurt Matsuda in front of Ran, but the clues were always just a little short!

At six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was feeling a bit sleepy.

Matsuda, in particular, had fainted from seasickness before and was now extremely sleepy.

"This kind of place is definitely not suitable for sleeping."

After complaining, Conan gave Matsuda a disdainful look.

"You're a detective too, why don't you go in and help with the interrogation? Wouldn't it be easier to finish the case sooner with one more person?"

"It was the inspector's order to let me rest here and try to solve the mystery of the murder."

As Matsuda spoke, he couldn't help but yawn again.

“Officer Matsuda, if you’re tired, why don’t you lie down for a while?” Dr. Narumi suggested. “Even though you’re not feeling well, at least you can rest for a bit.”

Is it another lap pillow?

Matsuda turned his head with a complicated expression, only to see Dr. Narumi covering her face, yawning in a cute manner as she stood up.

"I'm so sleepy. I'd like to wash my face before the interrogation."

There's no lap pillow anymore... Even knowing the other person is a man dressed as a woman, Matsuda was still somewhat disappointed.

"Pervert." Conan glanced at him with disdain.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri also walked out of the interrogation room, still somewhat dazed.

Conan immediately jumped off the sofa and went to greet him: "Uncle, how many more people do you want to question?"

"Not many left. Including Dr. Narumi, there are only... six people left, and that's it." Kogoro Mouri counted the remaining people and said.

"Any new leads?" Matsuda asked.

"No, it's still the same," Mori said helplessly.

Okay, I'll take a nap first!

Unable to stay awake any longer, Matsuda lay down on the sofa and quickly fell asleep.

……

What's going on? What was that sound?

Matsuda was suddenly awakened from his sleep by the sound of melodious music.

"This piece?"

Matsuda knew nothing about music and could only look to others for guidance.

"This, this piece of music, which movement of Moonlight Sonata is it again..." Xiaolan murmured to herself.

Upon hearing this, Matsuda immediately jumped off the sofa: "Who's not here?"

"Village Chief, Village Chief Kuroiwa has been missing since just now," Kogoro Mori replied, scanning the crowd.

If it's not on the first floor, could it be upstairs? Matsuda quickly ran towards the stairs.

When he arrived on the second floor, he saw the current village chief, Hei Yan, lying on the broadcasting machine in the broadcasting room, with a knife stuck in his back, blood still gushing out.

Mr. Nishimoto, with his spiky hair, collapsed to the ground, trembling as he stared at the corpse of the village chief, Kuroiwa.

And Conan was standing next to Mr. Nishimoto.

By then, everyone else had arrived.

When Reiko, the daughter of the village chief of Kuroiwa, saw her father lying there, she immediately went to him.

Matsuda quickly stopped her, saying to Megure, "Inspector, call the coroner right away!"

"Officer, the coroner went to Tokyo for Mr. Kawashima's autopsy," said Hirata, the village chief's secretary.

"Damn it!" Inspector Megure said helplessly, "Of all times..."
