Chapter 3: The Moonlight Shrouds the Shadows
I must ease relations with Sato today. Matsuda stopped at the door of the first lesson and bowed humbly. Okay, come on. Matsuda clenched his fists and was about to push the door, but the door was opened from the inside.
"Matsuda, it's you. The Twilight Police Department said, "Just come with me." ”
"Huh?" Matsuda was surprised by Twilight's sudden words, "What am I going to do?"
"There's a murder on Lunaris Island, and we're going to the scene. I'm looking for you. Twilight explained.
"What am I for?" Matsuda said reluctantly, "Isn't it good to bring Takagi?"
"You're the one recommended by both Shiratori and Sato. Twilight said impatiently, "And don't you think you've been too idle for the past two days? ”
"Ha Lu Ha. Matsuda laughed dryly. The white bird grasped the timing so accurately, and he sold me if he didn't show the mountains and water. But what does Sato want me to do? Is there anything expected of me? Okay, no matter what the murder case is, I have to end it quickly and find out the murderer beautifully.
Matsuda, puffed up, followed behind Twilight, ready to do a big job.
"Eh!?Police Department, do you still want to take a boat?" Matsuda suddenly lost his confidence when he saw the sea: "It seems to be a far away." ”
"Matsuda, hurry up. Seeing Matsuda's virtue, Twilight felt that it was a mistake to bring him out. But his right-hand man Shiratori strongly recommended it, and he performed well last time, so he stared at Matsuda in the turtle climbing, was it really him last time?
Lighting himself a cigarette at the bow of the boat, Matsuda waved weakly in the direction of Tokyo, saying something he didn't believe: "I really wish I could get back to the Metropolitan Police Department before lunch starts." Then he turned to Twilight and asked, "My lord, what is the case this time?"
"Kawashima, one of the candidates for the mayor of Lunaris Island and the biggest capitalist on the island, was killed. Twilight said.
"Oh, a candidate for village chief?" Matsuda thought about, "With my years of experience in handling cases, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. ”
"Really?" Twilight waited expectantly for Matsuda to say something amazing.
"If a man with money and power is killed, then it is possible that first of all it is his rival, and the rest of the candidates for village chief; of course, it may also be someone who has a financial relationship with him; there is also a high possibility of murder; is it a local bad group? a maid who has been treated unfairly? a competitor in business? a relative who has been treated harshly? Eh, it is terrible, there are so many reasons to be killed, these hateful capitalists really deserve to die. Matsuda said seriously.
Thinking of Matsuda's many years of experience in handling cases, Mu Du sneered: "I finally know what you have done all these years." ”
Matsuda, whose train of thought was interrupted, looked at Twilight suspiciously.
Twilight patted Matsuda on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Matsuda, I know you're under a lot of pressure. I know a psychiatrist in the Health Management Headquarters of the General Affairs Department, so you might want to talk to him. ”
Matsuda slapped Twilight's hand away and said angrily, "I don't have any psychological problems!"
When it came to the crime scene of the Moonshadow Island Civic Hall, Matsuda was the first to see Conan. Hah, no wonder people die. Then he glanced at the situation in the house, and in addition to Mr. Kogoro, who was sleeping heavily, there was also an old patrolman who also slept very soundly. Xiaolan and a beautiful woman stand aside.
Listening to their recounts, Matsuda began to spin around the piano twice. Then, when the identification class took a picture of the deceased Kawashima, Matsuda also leaned over and touched Kawashima's shirt.
When Conan handed the sheet music for the moonlight to Twilight, Matsuda came up to Ran and asked her, "Is there anything different about the people who were there yesterday?"
"Huh?" Xiaolan was suddenly asked by Matsuda, and she couldn't answer anything.
"Did you find anything? Brother Matsuda. Twilight and Conan looked over.
"If the deceased had drowned on the beach, he must have struggled strongly before he died. Even if the murderer was a strong man who was able to hold the deceased firmly, he would definitely be wet with the sea and sand in some places on his body. Matsuda said, "There's time to clear the sand, but no one is going to bring two sets of clothes to the ceremony." If it wasn't drowned, then what reason was there for the murderer to disguise himself as drowned?"
This guy!?Conan looked at Matsuda in surprise.
"Xiaolan, who is he?" Doctor Chengshi asked Xiaolan quietly on the side.
"It's Officer Matsuda who is in the search class, and he's a very powerful person. Xiaolan said.
"Oh, Brother Matsuda. Let's see what clues there are. Twilight was surprised and handed the score to Matsuda.
Matsuda took it and looked at it for three seconds, then returned it, scratching his face and saying, "Well, if you ask about the structure of the bomb, I can tell it in ten seconds, but I should ask a professional for something like music." ”
Is this guy really powerful? Everyone present was skeptical.
Conan and the three of them stayed up late, but now that the police arrived, they relaxed and fell asleep. Twilight had no choice but to call Mr. Kogoro, another person who was present, to cooperate with the investigation.
"You have to cooperate with our investigation. Twilight said to the sleepy-eyed Kogoro, and as he was talking, he inadvertently looked down and saw Matsuda lying down in the place where Kogoro had slept, and yelled, "Matsuda!
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Conan, Ran, Narumi and Matsuda yawned on the couch at the end of the corridor.
"It's not a good place to sleep. After Conan complained, he looked at Matsuda with disdain: "Why are you here?" ”
"Hey, little ghost, speak to the elders with honorifics. Matsuda knocked Conan's head and stretched: "You still have to sleep, I'm tired all day." ”
"Hey, hey. Conan laughed dryly in his heart: "Now, uncle, is it okay if you don't go to the inquiry?"
"Huh?" Matsuda waved his hand: "Don't be stupid, the questions of more than 30 people, think about it and get tired Don't look at me with this expression, I trust the police department, I believe that he will not wronged a good person, nor will he let go of a bad person." ”
Wait until Maori comes out to talk to Xiaolan and the others for a few words, and then Dr. Chengshi asks, "What is my order?"
Kogoro said apologetically, "Although you are very tired, you are still at the back." "Then I'll go wash my face first." Cheng Shi said.
"How many more people need to be questioned?" Conan asked Kogoro.
"There are six more people, including Dr. Sungsil. Kogoro said.
"Then I'll go and see it too, if I don't show up in the sight of the police department, he will think I'm lazy." Matsuda stood up and said.
Hehe, you're just lazy, okay? Conan was speechless.
When Matsuda entered the room, he saw that Ken Nishimoto, who was being questioned inside, didn't say anything, but he kept trembling, as if he was afraid of something.
There's something inside. Matsuda found a chair to sit down, crossed Jiro's legs, and rested his chin on his right hand, looking at Nishimoto with interest. Who's the murderer? But is there such a case? I don't remember it at all.
But also, Conan has been out for more than ten years, how can he remember this case from more than ten years ago. Thinking of this, Matsuda smiled amusedly.
"I didn't have a motive to kill Mr. Kawashima at all, and you have to ask when!" the village chief's daughter, Reiko Kuroiwa, said loudly to Twilight.
Matsuda, who was on the side, poured a glass of water for Miss Reiko, put it in front of her, and said with a smile: "After all, it's a dead person, so try to cooperate with us as much as possible." This is just a general question, just to find out if you found anything unusual yesterday. Then he stepped back and sat down, still in that brisk tone: "However, a woman is really a powerful creature, and she can make such a sharp sound for ten minutes." ”
Reiko, who had a good impression of Matsuda's thoughtfulness, suddenly shouted, "You can stop in moderation! Don't go too far!!" The voice was so sharp that it ran through the entire public hall.
The frightened Twilight glared at Matsuda: "You shut up for me, you won't be talking without my orders!"
"Huh?" Matsuda whispered, "What about my human rights?"
Hmm? This tune is when Matsuda was bored, and the public hall played with light music.
"It's pretty good music. Matsuda praised lightly, "Who put it?"
"Stupid! That's moonshine. Twilight was scolded by Matsuda.
As soon as Matsuda heard that it was moonlight, he immediately ran out of the room, and his reaction was so fast and his movements were so neat that Twilight was stunned again.
I ran to the second floor following the sound and saw Conan and Xiben at the door of a room. Matsuda ran over and saw the body of the village chief, Kuroiwa, with a knife stuck in his back.
Then Twilight and the others arrived, stopping the order to enter the scene. Twilight said, "Call the coroner." ”
"Officer, the coroner went to Tokyo because of Mr. Kawashima's autopsy. Hirata, secretary to the village chief, said.
"Damn. Twilight said, "At this time"
"Please let me come if you can. That's when Dr. Chengshi stepped forward.
Haah~~ Killing people under my nose, it feels really unpleasant. Matsuda walked up behind Conan, who was throwing a tantrum at the wall, kicked him, and said playfully, "Little ghost, how many movements are there in the moonlight?"
Conan was still angry, glared at Matsuda, saw his eyes to calm down, and then said calmly: "Ah~~ One has three movements." ”
"Three?" Matsuda glanced at Kuroiwa's corpse and said no more.
