Chapter 8: The Disappeared Body?
"Hey, Matsuda, did you have a good time yesterday?" Yumi asked happily as she and Sato chatted in front of the vending machine in the hallway, and saw Matsuda walk in with his head down.
"Naw. Matsuda first took out the car keys and returned them to Sato, and then waved at Yumi: "Are all the people in the Ministry of Transportation so idle?"
"How could it be. Yumi had a straight face: "Detective Matsuda, I suspect that you were driving without a license yesterday, can you go with me to make a record?"
"Hahaha, this joke isn't funny at all. Matsuda then said viciously to Sato, "When will you be free!"
"Huh?" was asked by Matsuda so cluelessly, Sato didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Are you dating?" Yumi patted Sato on the shoulder, "The attitude is so bad, Miwako shouldn't promise him." With that, he walked away with his hands behind his back and humming a little song, leaving space for the two of them.
"That bastard in the mountains said that he would invite us to the hot springs, have you decided on a good time?" Matsuda gritted his teeth at the mention of Yamabe.
"That," Sato thought for a moment, "I'll talk about it later." ”
"Wait until the Chinese New Year?" Matsuda said weakly.
"That's fine. Sato replied, "That's not bad." ”
"Ha Luha, what a happy proposition. Matsuda bought a can of drink and poured it down. After that, he wiped his mouth and was about to reason with Sato, but when he looked up, Sato was already gone.
"Matsuda, don't let the Twilight Police Department find out you're late again. Sato walked away in style.
"Matsuda, you bastard! Don't be late next time!!" Matsuda came to the class lightly and pushed the door, and was about to jump to his desk, when he found a figure blocked at the door, and before he could tell who it was, he heard a loud roar.
Matsuda immediately covered his ears, squatted at the door of the first class, and looked up at Twilight: "Tall and majestic police officer, I know that the way is wrong, can you let me go in first?"
"Huh~~~ You get out of the way for me first, I'm going to a meeting. Twilight felt that Matsuda's posture was too embarrassing for a lesson, and in order to save that face, Twilight decided not to entangle with him.
"Matsuda, since you don't like it so much, why don't you make a report and go to the Ministry of Transportation, don't you have a good relationship with Inspector Miyamoto?" Shiratori said to Matsuda as he walked over.
Hmph, Matsuda didn't get up either, and sat cross-legged in the middle of the corridor: "Lord of the police department, don't let me hear you call me Brother Matsuda next time, and this guy Shiratori!! if I hadn't been here for the past three years, it should be the police department now."
"Are you dreaming?" Sato appeared at the door, looking down at Matsuda, "It's not the time to dream yet, come in quickly." ”
"Yes. Matsuda slid into a lesson, then sat down in his place and began to spend the boring day.
In the afternoon, Matsuda woke up, carefully wiped the saliva off the table, and then slowly sorted out the materials and put them away.
Seeing Twilight concentrate on her own business at her desk, Matsuda smiled and slid off her chair, ready to slip away.
Half-crouched and tiptoed to the door, Matsuda's hand had already touched the doorknob, and he heard Twilight yell "What!?".
When Matsuda heard this, he was frightened, and when he was about to forcibly break through, Twilight had already locked on him: "Matsuda, come with me and go out, there is a murder!"
"Yes, Lord Police. Matsuda opened all the half-open doors, stood behind the door, put his right hand on his shirt, bowed slightly, and looked like a butler: "I'm ready, the police department should hurry up." ”
"Haah~~~ Is it you?" When he arrived at the scene of the crime, Matsuda got out of the police car and saw three small friends from the juvenile detective group standing on the side of the road, and came over to ask.
"That's right, Officer Matsuda. Conan, who was sitting in a phone booth, said: "After calling the police, we kept an eye on the house, and no one came or went. That is to say"
Before Conan could finish speaking, he was grabbed and dragged down by Matsuda: "Children, don't climb that high, let's go." ”
When she entered the house, Twilight rang the doorbell, "Hey, is there anyone? We're the police." ”
After waiting for a while, a man came out and shouted without annoyance: "Don't press it, it's noisy." ”
"I'm sorry, we're the police. Twilight pulled out her police ID and said, "We got a report that someone found a body here. ”
"That's right, in that bathroom. "There was a man covered in blood. The children of the Junior Detective Corps said one by one.
"Corpses?" the man's eyebrows jumped twice: "How is it possible, I have been using that bathroom just now, where are there any corpses." After the man finished speaking, he turned sideways: "The bathroom is there." ”
"Then let's make sure. Twilight pushed the man out of the way to the bathroom and opened the door.
"What!?" the young detectives who came with them couldn't believe the clean bathroom.
"See, there's no corpse at all!" the man said with confidence.
"We just saw a man covered in blood lying in the bathroom," Conan said with an angry expression.
"It took us fifteen minutes to get here, and ten minutes to hide the body was enough. Matsuda crouched in the doorway of the bathroom, interrupting Conan.
"You, who are you?" the man immediately asked Matsuda when he heard him say this.
"The Metropolitan Police Department searched a police officer. Matsuda shook the police officer card in his hand: "You just need to know this." As he spoke, Matsuda wiped his left index finger on the bathroom floor: "Did you say you were taking a shower just now?"
"Yes, yes. The man was stunned for a moment by Matsuda's question.
"Did you just flush it? didn't use any toiletries?" Matsuda stood up and turned to face the man, pointing to the bathroom behind him with his left thumb, "I didn't see any more toiletry foam in the trench." ”
"I'm right, I just rushed around. The man thought for a moment before reluctantly answering, and then asked Matsuda loudly, "Does this have anything to do with you!?"
"No, no. Matsuda chuckled, "Can we inspect the house?"
"Whatever you like. The man's voice weakened: "I'm going to sleep on the second floor, don't disturb me." ”
"I'll go up with you. Matsuda said politely.
"No need!" the man quickly turned around and said with a hint of panic, "You can search as you like, my brother is coming back soon, so let's find him for something." ”
When the man went upstairs, Twilight said to the officers who came with him, "Look for it! ”
"Don't be that troublesome. Matsuda leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette: "Lord of the police department, it's better to find someone from the forensic class to come to this bathroom to test the luminol reaction." Judging by the man's reaction, the body should be hidden on the second floor. ”
"Are you sure? When Twilight heard Matsuda say this, she asked in surprise, "Do you know where the body is?"
"How could it be. Matsuda said, "If I had followed just now, I might have known where the body was, but now that the suspect is alone, I'm afraid it will take some work to find it." It's really unpleasant, knowing who the suspect is, but letting him go alone. ”
"Then why don't you stop him!?" Twilight yelled at Matsuda's tone.
"Hey, now I'm just reasoning based on some clues, and I don't have a search warrant, if I break in and don't find the body" Matsuda paused: "The police trespassed into the house without permission, if such a report is published in the newspaper tomorrow, will you be fully responsible? If so, I will go up immediately." ”
Twilight was silent for a moment, then asked, "Isn't there any evidence?"
"Well, that's why the people from the identification class are here. Matsuda spread his hands and replied, "I just see that there is something wrong with him, and there is no direct evidence." ”
"Officer Matsuda is such a nice guy. "That's right, only he believes in our Junior Detective Corps. The words of the young detective group's friends on the side reached Twilight's ears.
"Matsuda, you didn't just think there was something wrong with that man just by listening to what they said. Twilight asked, a little uncertain.
"What?" Matsuda said angrily, "Am I so useless in your eyes?
Speaking of this, Matsuda moved his neckline: "If the policemen break into my house with a few children and tell me that someone died in my house, I will definitely kick these little ghosts out of the house." After speaking, he looked at Twilight with suspicion, "Otherwise, I think that some incompetent cop is believing in their pranks." Instead of first telling the police where the bathroom where the crime occurred was. ”
Twilight's forehead sweated when Matsuda saw it, and she resisted weakly, "Not everyone has the same personality as you." ”
"Yes, but there's a flaw in his statement that he was using the bathroom just now. Matsuda still didn't retract that gaze: "Judging from the stagnant water on the bathroom floor, he shouldn't have taken a bath in the bathroom before opening the door, but the door hasn't been open for long, what is he doing?" and he said that it was a shower, and he shouldn't have used the bathtub, but the inside of the bathtub was damp, so he should have used it not long ago." Coupled with the suspicion of the previous toiletries and his abnormal expression several times during the period, it is fully suspicious. ”
"Hehe, you look so closely. Twilight chuckled.
"This should be the basic thing that the criminal police should master, you can know it at a glance. Matsuda said strangely, and then smiled expectantly, "But I'm interested in how he hides the body." ”
Hehe, which country's criminal police are you talking about? Twilight and Conan thought the same thing.
PS: I said before that I would have three months of pre-job training, and I thought there would be an Internet café next to the school, but the recent Internet café actually has to take a car, and I do it every day, and I can't support it. The class period is too short and can only be renewed on weekends. Apologies, it will be back to normal in three months.
