After dealing with the aftermath of the Eiko Toya incident, Matsuda was finally able to relax for a few days. Although Matsuda spends most of his time at work, he spends most of his time loosely. What makes Matsuda feel even happier is that Sato has not used violent means to get him up again in the past few days.

In order to get closer to Sato, Matsuda deliberately rented an apartment between the Metropolitan Police Department and Sato's house, originally for his own happy life. But I didn't expect that after Matsuda handed over the key to Sato, he was forced to follow Sato's routine to commute every day.

Of course, the male officers of the Metropolitan Police Department know that the goddess Miwako Sato drives her beloved car FD every day to carry the shame of the Metropolitan Police Department Matsuda Jinpei-kun after commuting. Matsuda was immediately promoted to the Metropolitan Police Department's No.1 most unpopular male figure of the year, although it was still far away by the end of the year, but Matsuda deserved this honor.

Because there is only one name on the entire list, and that is Matsuda Jinpei. In the case of the secret ballot, none of the male police officers wrote another name on the sacred and precious ballot paper in his hand.

For this kind of thing, Matsuda was secretly happy in his heart, and he complained bitterly, why he got up early every day and worked hard. Especially when facing the Shiratori Police Department, Matsuda always said with a constipated expression, "Actually, I don't want to do this either." ”

"Matsuda-kun, that's great. The white bird cloud said lightly: "You are on duty tonight." ”

Matsuda watched Shiratori shrug his shoulders and walked away in style, then ran in three steps and two steps to look at the shift schedule.

Deceitful! They must have been transferred! Matsuda turned around angrily and wanted to find the theory of the hundred birds.

"Matsuda, do your best today. Sato, who was about to go home, saw Matsuda turn his head and wave at him.

Shiratori, who was standing behind Sato, also smiled like a flower: "Matsuda-kun, come on." Miss Sato and I went back first. ”

Hum. Matsuda puffed back to his place and sat down.

"This Metropolitan Police Department is poor enough. Matsuda complained: "I don't know if I have a computer here, this night is difficult." After speaking, he peeked at the old face of the uncle on duty together, and immediately forced himself to think about the lovely Sato: "God, I really want to go home." ”

When Matsuda slept in a daze, he felt like he had been dragged out of the bed. In confusion, Matsuda still muttered vaguely: "Don't make trouble, I want to have a good day tomorrow and holidays." ”

"Matsuda, hurry up and clean up, there's a murder!" Seeing that Matsuda was dragged out of the bed, he struggled to crawl into bed, and yelled in Matsuda's ear in the twilight.

Matsuda barely stretched half of his eyelids, then casually put on his clothes and followed Twilight's footsteps into the police car.

Matsuda sat in the car and leaned back: "Call me when you get to the place, I'll make up for sleep first." ”

Twilight clenched her fists, resisting the urge to pull Matsuda out of the car and sober him up.

"Hey, Brother Matsuda, We're here. Twilight got out of the car and told Matsuda, who was sitting in the back, to get up.

"Ah!?okay, right away~~~" Matsuda replied casually, then turned over, leaving his back to Twilight.

Damn! Twilight couldn't bear to smack Matsuda's head hard, and then turned around and went to the scene.

Matsuda covered his head and climbed out of the car: "Police Department, it's too ruthless." ”

"Did you see any suspicious characters before the body was found?" Matsuda, who had arrived at the scene at a turtle speed, asked Twilight.

"Because it's so dark, I can't even see if it's a man or a woman. "This voice is Xiaolan.

So Kogoro and Conan are also there? Matsuda patted his cheek lightly a few times, and then began to observe the situation and some basic information on the scene.

The deceased's name was Mamoru Anzai, a camera assistant who was currently filming on location for a TV series.

Hmm? This is? I circled around the corpse and saw the three words of the stone lion written in blood after the deceased was the most ugly. Matsuda looked up at the blood-splattered stone lion in front of the deceased. Death message.

"Hey, hey, hey. Kogoro smiled confidently on the side: "Twilight Police Department, this incident is unexpectedly simple." ”

"Really?" Twilight Matsuda Conan's eyes were on Kogoro.

"First of all, the knife used as a murder weapon is a prop used in filming, and secondly, the stone lion refers to the shrine. Then the murderer is obvious. Kogoro pointed to a woman with eyes: "Miss Taeko Dougaki, the murderer is you!"

An old man behind Miss Taeko, who was accused of being the murderer, stood up: "Impossible, Taeko won't kill people." ”

"Miss Taeko, you have been out for almost an hour during the banquet!" Kogoro asked.

"That's right, I'm going home to get something, and my home is at the shrine. Taeko replied.

"Can someone testify for you?" Kogoro asked.

"No, I was the only one. Taeko said.

"Dad. Xiaolan on the side stood up and said, "When Miss Taeko came back, she happened to meet Mr. Anzai, and the two of them passed by. ”

"What?" Kogoro recalled, "When Taeko came back, she stayed in the living room and never left. ”

"Is that completely incapable of sinning?" Twilight looked at Kogoro suspiciously.

"yes. Matsuda walked down the steps: "The premise is that someone can prove that the person who met when Miss Taeko came back must be the deceased, well, Mr. Anzai in your mouth." ”

"The police department, no fingerprints were taken on the body. Matsuda approached Twilight and said, "Let's ask about their alibi first." As he spoke, he pointed to the group of onlookers next to him who did not know the truth.

"Between ten and half-past ten, have any of you ever left the hotel?" asked Twilight.

"I went to buy cigarettes. "The people on the location team looked at each other and a young man came out with the name of Yuji Shimazaki.

"What time is it?" asked Twilight.

"Around nine forty-five. Conan, who was on the side, said, "I looked at my watch at the time. ”

"Really?" Twilight asked, "And what time did you come back?"

"About thirty minutes later. Shimazaki replied.

"Is it ten fifteen?" Twilight groaned for a moment and asked the male protagonist next to him, Nachi Shingo, "Mr. Nachi, you are the only one who didn't stay in the hotel, but went to the Didan Hotel, right?"

"How could a handsome guy like me go to such a second-rate hotel. Nachi replied.

"And where are you between ten and half past ten?" asked Twilight.

"I was in the bar of the hotel until ten o'clock, and there were a whole bunch of people who could testify for me. Nachi replied.

"I asked after ten o'clock. Twilight asked.

"I stayed in my hotel room and was alone. Nachi said.

"Officer, found this thing from the victim's room. Takagi came to the shrine and handed a stack of photos to Twilight.

"What is this?" "Twilight took it, "It's Mr. Nachi and a woman coming out of the hotel." ”

"Ahh Kogoro said in surprise.

"Ritsuko Ogiyama?" said one of the location team, "She's married!"

"Is this evidence of cheating?" Twilight looked at Nachi.

"In the evening, Conan and I saw Mr. Anzai threatening Mr. Nachi. Xiaolan said on the side.

"Sure enough, you're the murderer!" Kogoro went to pull Nachi.

"If I'm the murderer, then what does the stone lion mean!" Nachi and Kogoro got entangled.

Conan took advantage of this time to come to the deceased again, thinking about the possibility of committing a crime.

"Little ghost, don't go near the scene. Matsuda, who was squatting behind the stone lion and smoking, saw Conan coming and beckoned him over.

Cut, why is he here!Conan heard Matsuda's voice and looked up to see Matsuda snuffing out his cigarette butts.

"Now, what's the matter? Officer Matsuda. Conan walked over and said tenderly.

"Imp. Matsuda reached out and pressed Conan's head: "Call me uncle." ”

When Conan struggled to shake off Matsuda's hand, Matsuda suddenly said, "When Miss Taeko Togaki went back, did you see Anzai go out with your own eyes?"

"Huh?" Conan stopped struggling and thought about it, "No, just from the ringing of the watch and the clothes that he thought he was Mr. Anthy." ”

"Ringtones?" Matsuda asked, confused.

"Yes, it's Mr. Anthy's watch that he brought back from the United States and it makes a special ringtone. Conan said, "At that time, no one saw Mr. Anzai's face except Miss Dougaki. ”

"That's right. Matsuda thought for a while and then spoke: "Then what does that Chi Shingo and Yuji Shimazaki have to do with Miss Dougaki?"

"I don't know about Mr. Nachi, but Mr. Shimazaki and Ms. Dougaki will be getting married next month. Conan said, "Do you doubt it!?"

Matsuda stood up and walked to the bottom of the steps, looked at Anzai's watch carefully, and said, "Not a doubt, but an affirmation." ”

When Matsuda walked a few steps towards Twilight, he turned back and smiled mysteriously at Conan, "Being able to face the corpse so calmly is something that ordinary elementary school students can't do." ”

Is this guy hinting at something? Conan looked at Matsuda's back and fell into deep thought. What exactly does he mean?

"Police, I found something interesting. Matsuda came over and said.

"What?" Hearing Matsuda's words, Kogoro and Nachi also stopped arguing.

"The message of death is not a stone lion. Matsuda said.

"How could it be. Twilight looked at Matsuda with some suspicion, "You wouldn't say that the stone lion was a message left by the murderer, would you?"

"Yes or no. Matsuda explained, "There is a problem with the writing of this message, and the places that should be connected according to the strokes are separated. And in that kind of situation where you can die at any time, the place where one stroke can be completed is divided into three strokes. ”

"What!?" Kogoro ran over and carefully identified it, "Could it be that someone added a vertical heel to it?" If these two strokes are removed, then the stone lion will become a handsome guy!"

"It's not me!" said Nachi in a panic, "I did make an appointment with Anthy to meet here at half past ten, but Anthy was already dead when I came. ”

"You don't have to quibble. Twilight said.

"It's true, when I was about to escape, I saw the handsome guy on the ground, so I added a few strokes. Nachi hurriedly pleaded.

"If you weren't a murderer, what would be written handsome. Kogoro said.

"The murderer is indeed not him. Matsuda then said, "Because of our misjudgment, Mr. Anzai was killed before ten o'clock." ”

"How is that possible!?" said Xiaolan, "we clearly saw Mr. Anthy around ten o'clock. ”

"To be precise, I must have heard the alarm of Mr. Anzai's watch!" Matsuda said, "Police Department, take a closer look at Mr. Anzai's watch." ”

"Watches?" said Twilight, crouching down.

"My left hand was covered with blood, but my watch was not stained with blood. Matsuda said, "That is, after Mr. Anzai's death, his watch was touched. ”

Indeed, it is. Twilight said.

"Someone took off Mr. Anzai's watch, went back to the hotel, and let people hear the ringing at a certain time, and then disguised as Mr. Anzai and returned to the shrine from the hotel and wrote the message of the handsome man. Matsuda turned to Shimazaki and said, "Am I right? ”

"The person we saw at the hotel wasn't Mr. Anzai, but Mr. Shimazaki?" Yoko Okino asked, "Actually, before Mr. Nachi arrived, someone had already added a few notes to the death message left by Anzai. ”

"That's right! I was the murderer, I killed Anthy! Shimazaki hesitated for a few moments, then said.

"Mr. Shimazaki, it's good that you disguise yourself as Mr. Anzai, but the murderer is not you. Matsuda turned his gaze to his fiancée, "Am I right?" Judging from the blood splattered at the scene, the murderer's body must also be covered with blood, and you are the only one who has time to clean up the blood stains on his body. ”

"No! it's me, it's me who killed Anzai," Shimazaki exclaimed with excitement.

"Yuji, you're going to say it again. Miss Dougaki stepped forward: "I killed Anzai." ”

"Taeko!" Shimazaki wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Dougaki.

"But, Miss Dougaki, what is this for!?" Xiaolan couldn't figure out why Douyuan would kill someone.

"Probably, Miss Dougaki was also blackmailed by Anzai. Matsuda said.

"That's right. "When I was in high school, I was in a rebellious period, I didn't go to school, and I was with some bad friends every day, and Anzai was one of them. ”

"I inadvertently told Anzai about my theft of the shrine's valuables, and then Mr. Sugiyama, who was in charge of the warehouse, committed suicide because of self-blame, and I was so scared at the time. ”

"After that incident, I broke off my relationship with them and went back to school with peace of mind, until I met Yuji, who planned to marry him and create a beautiful family, and at this time, Anzai reappeared. ”

"He said that I was the murderer in that incident, and I must be responsible for Sugiyama's death. There were several times when I thought to myself that Anzai had to die or my marriage to Yuji would be ruined by him. ”

"Today the better I am with him, the better I am with him, here at nine o'clock in the evening to give him money. But I threatened him with a knife and told him to get out of here and not to appear in front of me again. The guy was angry and lunged at me, and the knife was just that."

"Actually, I didn't plan to kill him"

"I noticed that Taeko looked a little strange when she left, so I followed her under the pretext of buying cigarettes. Shimazaki came over and hugged the crying Dougaki: "When I arrived, I found that Anzai was dead, and Hassan wrote the word Dougaki on the floor at hand." I wiped off my fingerprints, did what the officer had reasoned about, and did the disguise work. ”

"Yuji!" "Taeko!" The two of them hugged their heads and cried.

"Everyone has to pay for what they've done. Looking at Dougaki, who became a murderer in order to escape his previous mistakes, Matsuda suddenly thought of his former self. I don't know what I will pay for the sins I have committed after I have done so.

When the police car took Dougaki and Shimazaki away, Twilight comforted the location team and came to Matsuda's side: "It's really rare, Brother Matsuda." ”

"Huh!?" Matsuda looked up, "What do you mean?"

"You didn't even get out of the way early?" said Twilight, facing west, "Is that the sun going to rise in that direction today?"

"Hey, don't look down on people!" Matsuda was about to seriously refute Twilight's obviously biased opinion of himself, when he suddenly thought of something, and turned around gorgeously, and basked Twilight in place: "Yoko! Miss Yoko!"

"Huh!?" Yoko Okino looked at the guy who suddenly screamed strangely and then rushed in front of her.

"Miss Yoko, can you give me an autograph?" Matsuda asked reverently.

"Absolutely. Yoko Okino hadn't reacted yet, and subconsciously agreed.

After receiving the signature paper and pen from Matsuda, Miss Yoko also came back to her senses. While signing, he began to look at this young and capable police officer, and he couldn't see that he could completely suppress Detective Mori Kogoro in terms of reasoning.

"Here, Mr. Officer. After Yoko returned the signature paper to Matsuda, she pointed to his chest and kindly reminded, "Your tie." ”

"Hmm!" Matsuda looked down, then swiped his hand twice, "It's okay." ”

Yoko looked at Matsuda's confused appearance and laughed. Xiaolan on the side helplessly told Matsuda, who was in a confused state: "Officer Matsuda, your tie is tied upside down." ”

"Oh~~~Ah!?" Matsuda immediately covered his chest with his hands, leaned to one side, and said in a mournful tone of a little woman: "Miss Yoko, you won't complain about me, will you?"

"Matsuda, you idiot. Twilight couldn't stand it anymore, so she grabbed Matsuda and dragged him in the direction of the police car.

In the cheerful laughter of Yoko and Xiaolan, there are also faint voices of Twilight and Matsuda.

"Brother Matsuda, you have lost the face of the Metropolitan Police Department, but I didn't expect you to be a fan of Yoko Okino like Brother Maori. ”

"Ahh How much do you think this signature can be sold for? Now I can't live at the end of the month."

PS: About the plot of the protagonist's small suffering, the last time to explain. Only his boss Twilight and his lover Sato would do this, and Sato didn't say anything. If there was no help from his boss, a person like Matsuda would have lived so well in the unit?
