Chapter Twenty-Five: A Plot for Exoneration
"Wow, this is the Metropolitan Police Department?" Motota pushed open the door of a lesson and looked inside: "I'm so disappointed, it's completely different from what I imagined." ”
"yes, it doesn't seem like there's anyone. Mitsuhiko was also a little disappointed.
"Because they're all going to work. Takagi smiled and said, "What are you disappointed about?"
"I thought there would be uncles with vicious cigarettes squinting at us. Ayumi said.
"It's not a movie. Takagi reluctantly pulled out a smile and pointed at himself: "Look, aren't I also a policeman?"
"I don't have any courage at all. "Can he catch the bad guys like this?" Although the young detectives consciously whispered secretly, Takagi listened to them.
Just when he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Matsuda just pushed the door in. With his head down, he was about to light a cigarette in his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw the Young Detective Corps, as well as Conan and Xiao Ai, who were fighting together at some distance from each other.
Matsuda's first reaction when he saw the child was to put away his cigarette, then leaned in front of Xiao Ai, squatted down and scanned Conan and Xiao Ai back and forth with a kind of adulterous gaze: "You?" pretended not to see the sign on their chests, and dragged a long tone in an ambiguous tone.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Conan stood up after being looked at by Matsuda, "We're here to make a record of the events in the cyan castle." ”
Blue Castle? Matsuda frowned and began to recall this incident, vaguely impressing, as if a person had died: "Ha, you two really spent the night outside last night." "It's not the first time Matsuda has done this kind of shifting the subject and changing the concept.
The corners of Conan's mouth twitched, and he was about to retort loudly to Matsuda, but at this time, Agasa stood up first: "Officer Matsuda, I also asked you when I took Xiao Wai and them on a trip." ”
"Dr. Asasa. Matsuda greeted him, but he didn't dwell on the matter anymore.
"Well, someone didn't come home last night. Xiao Ai said lightly on the side.
Ga? Matsuda's gaze suddenly weakened: "You went home last night, and you happened to be busy with things in the past two days." ”
"Ha Luha, where is the Twilight Police Department? But he wants us here. "The good old man Agasa made a hahaha, which relieved Matsuda's embarrassment.
"The police department is also at the headquarters of the bank robber's search. Takagi replied, "The police department has been there for the past two days to keep an eye on the latest developments. ”
"Is it the Dongdu Bank that was robbed of 200 million yuan?" asked casually.
"Huh, has the police department been in that temporary search headquarters these days?" Matsuda said strangely, "There hasn't been any progress over there, and the investigation is a slow job." ”
"It's just that the police department is in a hurry because there is no progress. Takagi smiled: "His wife, Mrs. Bi, was also in the bank that day, and she was pushed and bruised, and now the police department is very angry." ”
"Hmm, why doesn't he tell me about this kind of thing?" Matsuda said with interest: "He will also use his power for personal gain, which is terrible and terrible." ”
"What's scary?" Sato walked in and heard Matsuda talking about something.
"Do you know the way? The Twilight Police Department is afraid to go home now because his wife was injured, and they are pitifully looking for the murderer. Matsuda choreographed his boss's gossip without guilt.
"I know what to say. Sato said calmly: "The police department knew that you would say this, so they didn't let us tell you." ”
"Hmm, am I like that in the eyes of the police department?" Matsuda muttered and then asked, "Why did you come back? Didn't you join him in that improvised search headquarters? Is there a new clue?"
"Let's just say that the branch manager called and said that he remembered something to tell us. Sato said, "The police department asked me to come back to the class to receive their husband and wife, and the appointment time was two o'clock. ”
"Two o'clock, and his wife is also coming?" Matsuda frowned, feeling a little embarrassed: "I have made an appointment with his wife to meet at five o'clock yesterday, and she said that she wants to tell me something." ”
"Ah, the branch manager also mentioned this matter, he was afraid that his wife would be attacked by others, so he had to accompany her during the day. Sato said.
"So, Sato, give me the car keys, and I'm going to go to their house to see what is going on. Matsuda was about to leave in a hurry, but as soon as he raised his foot, he saw the branch manager Katsuizo Masuo following behind a police officer. Cut, is it a step too late?
"Finally caught up. Masuo came in and looked at his watch.
"Didn't Madame come along?" Matsuda asked in a deep voice.
"Because there was something going on at the bank, I made an appointment with her to meet here, hasn't she arrived yet?" said Masuo.
Because he was afraid that his wife would be attacked, he deliberately advanced the time, but he didn't come with his wife, this person has a problem. Although it had long been expected that there would be a problem, Katsura Masuo was only the object of suspicion.
And his wife obviously knew what he was saying, saying that she was telling the police probably to gain an advantage in the negotiations. If her conditions are met, then she should appear with Masuo, if not, I'm afraid something will happen.
"I went to visit Madame Zun last night, do you know anything about this?" Matsuda asked suddenly.
"Ah, I was actually at home yesterday, and she and a guest just said something at the door, and it turned out to be Mr. Policeman. Masuo looked at the time and pointed to the phone on the table: "Can I use it?"
"Please. Matsuda stepped aside. If his wife was killed, then he appeared to create an alibi. Pretending that no one answered, leading us to find the body and then relying on some design to misplace the time of the killing?
"I'm looking for someone to answer. While Matsuda was thinking, Masuo said this, and then handed the microphone to Matsuda.
Matsuda hesitated for a moment before he came up with the microphone: "Hey, is it Mrs. Massuo?"
"Oh, it's the police officer who came yesterday, Officer Matsuda, isn't it?" said Kayo Masuo's voice on the other side of the phone.
"Madame hasn't left yet?" Matsuda confirmed that the voice was indeed him.
"Eh, didn't you say five o'clock?" asked Mrs. Masuo strangely.
This voice is not a recording! No crime has been committed! Matsuda's eyes shone brightly: "Mrs. Masao, stop whatever you do now, find a safe place to hide, and we will rush to your house immediately." Be sure to hide, you are dangerous right now. ”
"What danger?" Masuo leaned forward when he heard Matsuda say this, looking anxious to grab the microphone.
What he, the suspect, wanted to do, Matsuda certainly wouldn't let him do. As soon as the hand was raised and retracted, the elbow easily pushed the tail out.
But at this time, Masuo pressed his hand on the table, and just touched the speakerphone button of the phone.
"Ahh
"Ma'am, Ma'am!?Please answer my question, Ma'am!!" Matsuda leaned on the phone and called out a few times without getting a response.
"Takagi informed the search team, and the nearest police station from there, I want to get the information as quickly as possible, and I want to know what's going on there!" Matsuda said as he grabbed Masuo and walked out: "Sato go and drive, we'll wait for you at the door." ”
"Mr. Officer, nothing will happen to my wife. Zengwei sat in the co-pilot of the car.
"In the past two or three days, if you have found anything suspicious, suspicious people can also do it. Sato glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that Matsuda didn't have any desire to answer.
"If you want to say yes, my wife did say that someone was found around my house, and I think it could be one of the bank robbers. Masuo said.
"Do you suspect that your face has been seen?" Sato made a hypothesis.
Scam, this man is lying. Matsuda looked through the rearview mirror at Matsuo's face. Since he knew that there were suspicious people in the road, why would he leave his wife alone at home. And most importantly, I was afraid that something would go wrong in the middle, so I went to find Masuo Kadai last night.
But I think it should be stabilized by this man, or that Masuo Kayo still has some kind of expectation for this man, thinking that he can get certain benefits from him. Matsuda clenched his fists at the thought of this. And the so-called talking to me is just a means to maximize profits.
"Buckle up, kid, and don't run around for a while. Matsuda said the first thing he said after getting into the car, which was to Conan who sneaked into the car, and then looked up and said to Sato, "Miwako, speed up, we have to hurry." ”
When he arrived at Masuo's door, Matsuda saw two uniformed police officers ringing the doorbell. Was it someone from the nearby bureau who arrived? Did Takagi explain the situation to them? That's the time to break in.
That being said, Matsuda didn't think about how serious it would be to enter a resident's house without a search warrant if he didn't receive a report.
Masuo opened the door, and Matsuda directly pushed him away and ran in, without changing his shoes, and directly kicked off his leather shoes and walked inside.
"Officer, you go to the second floor, I'll take a look in the hall. Masuo said to Matsuda from behind.
Hearing Masuo's words, Matsuda stopped, pointed to the stairs and said to the two uniformed officers, "You go to the second floor to have a look, I'll follow Mr. Masuo." The existence of dangerous people is not ruled out here, and Miwako has to protect Mr. Masao's safety closely. ”
After saying that, Matsuda walked to the hall. And Masuo saw Matsuda's movements, his face turned pale, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it tremblingly.
At this time, even Sato saw that something was wrong, and understood that the protection Matsuda said was to control Matsuo, so she just looked at Matsuo vigilantly. Make sure that if something goes wrong, you can take him down at the first opportunity.
"Mr. Masao, can you come in and tell me what's going on?" Matsuda's voice soon came from inside the room.
PS: One of the big brothers in the book review left me speechless. Since I can't watch the original anime anymore.,Why do you have to put such high demands on me as a fan.。 If there is no murder, then what else is there to write about Conan's fandom? If murder is turned into a rescue, then it will not be a police story, but Superman Batman, and I have already thought of the scene where someone will be sprayed as a firefighter. Although I am only a shallow learner, I still want to solve the case from a different perspective than Conan, that is, from the perspective of the police, and at the same time complain about some of Conan's reasoning. That's all, and what makes me even more speechless is that you say that Matsuda showed superiority before Kogoro reasoned, which is not wrong, but in the chapter you commented on, it was Matsuda who reasoned and lost to Conan.
