Although Ai's face showed disgust and aversion, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
Clearly, they weren't really that opposed to Matsuda's actions.
On the other side, with the combined efforts of Shinichi Kudo and his charcoal-haired partner,
Mai Kougami, the murderer, was quickly exposed.
Seeing that Kougami Mai had confessed to her crime and explained her motive,
The surrounding crowd immediately cheered.
However, many of the detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department had dark expressions on their faces.
Looking at Shinichi Kudo, who was surrounded by people like a star in the night sky, shining brightly in the center, he was a dazzling figure.
The scene before them gave everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department a sudden feeling of being transported back to the past.
Yusaku Kudo, Shinichi Kudo, Heiji Hattori, Saguru Hakuba...
Together, their story is practically a bloody and tearful tale of the First Investigative Division and the Forensic Division combined.
Uh, where's that bastard Matsuda?
Megure cursed inwardly, "Why wasn't it the Metropolitan Police Department that caught the criminal this time?"
......
At the same time, Matsuda was in the next room, looking at the bag containing the deceased Kamata.
I rushed over early because I was worried something might happen, but who knew it would turn out like this.
Matsuda felt a sudden, inexplicable irritation.
It's not that I truly believe I've become the embodiment of justice, capable of eliminating all evil.
I just feel like I did all that useless work first thing in the morning.
Just as Matsuda was lost in thought, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Matsuda turned around and saw a bespectacled, well-mannered man walk into the room.
Seeing Matsuda turn around alertly, the refined man smiled gently.
"I am Shinichiro, the school doctor. I have no ill intentions."
"Why is Dr. Shinichi here instead of watching the commotion inside?" Matsuda wondered.
"No, I don't think it's anything special. As a doctor, seeing someone die naturally makes me feel uncomfortable,"
Shinichi sighed.
"However, it was quite surprising to see Shinichi Kudo, who hadn't been seen for a long time, suddenly appear. I didn't expect him to be so popular at school."
"After all, he's a famous high school detective. It's normal for kids to like idolizing celebrities,"
After Matsuda finished speaking, he reached out and hooked his arm around Shinichi's neck in a very familiar manner.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see here, let's watch the young people's performance instead."
Despite his calm demeanor, Dr. Araide's lips twitched slightly involuntarily in response to Matsuda's casual attitude.
Just as Matsuda and Shinichi were about to enter the hall, Megure and the others came out escorting Kougami Mai.
Seeing Matsuda walking towards her with a man, arm in arm...
Megure immediately roared, "Matsuda! Where did you run off to?"
Chapter 279 Are men's breasts this soft too?
"Have you caught the culprit, Inspector?" Matsuda asked.
"Heh, so you did know we were here to catch the murderer."
Megure recalled how he had been ordered around aimlessly by those two brats.
The disdainful looks from his subordinates instantly ignited his anger.
"Tell me, have you properly investigated the case? Have you been working diligently?!"
"What else do we need to know? Didn't we catch the murderer?"
Matsuda asked, puzzled.
"Inspector, why are you so angry today? Did you forget to take your medicine before you left home?"
"Why would I need to take medicine! Are you trying to make me take medicine because you're so angry?"
Megure was quite provoked by Matsuda's indifferent attitude.
Do you even know what you should be doing?
Matsuda was a little annoyed by Megure's inexplicable anger and was about to say something...
Inspector Megure continued his reprimand.
"You still say you caught the murderer! Caught the murderer! It wasn't us who caught the murderer, it was those two brats! Tell me, if it weren't for those two brats, do you know who the murderer is?"
Megure was utterly disappointed in Matsuda, who had absolutely no sense of responsibility.
Disregarding his composure, he began questioning his subordinates in front of everyone.
"How could I not know? The person who ordered the same iced coffee as the deceased is the murderer."
Matsuda spoke in a very ordinary tone, but his words were like an earthquake of magnitude 8, reverberating in the hearts of Megure and the other officers.
Before Matsuda could even realize he had stabbed them in the heart again,
"It's obvious. The chance of accidental poisoning is extremely small, so the murderer wouldn't risk poisoning someone with a 50% chance of success. And if the person delivering the drink poisoned it, the victim wouldn't have had time to finish it. This lady not only ordered the same drink, but she was also the delivery person, so only she would have the highest chance of successfully poisoning the victim. Uh, it might be a bit impolite to say it like that."
"It's alright, I just didn't expect the Metropolitan Police Department to have such capable police officers."
Whether Hong Shangwuyi had seen through it all or simply taken it all in stride, her attitude was very calm.
The only flaw was the way she looked at Megure and the others.
That deep-seated contempt increased the group's hostility towards Matsuda by at least seven percentage points.
At this point, Matsuda had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.
As someone with the highest IQ in the Metropolitan Police Department, well, at least the First Investigation Division,
Instead of stepping up at this critical moment, they abandoned their posts, turning everyone into mere decorations and allowing the two kids to steal the spotlight.
If you really can't see it, then so be it; at most, it just means we're all equally stupid.
Afterwards, they still had to use the excuse, "How could you be so stupid?"
And you used such a simple tone to hurt everyone's self-esteem!
Despite the angry glares from the crowd, Matsuda didn't seem to care much.
Instead, he glanced at the new doctor beside him with surprise.
As he was speaking, he inadvertently turned around, and his elbow accidentally bumped into the new doctor's chest.
Can a man's chest be that soft?
Matsuda's expression was somewhat strange, but Dr. Araide hadn't yet noticed anything amiss.
"What's wrong, Officer Matsuda?"
“Dr. Shinichi,” Matsuda patted him on the shoulder, “as a man, it’s probably best to avoid eating things like papaya!”
pawpaw?
Dr. Shinichi stared at Matsuda's retreating figure, momentarily stunned, before realizing what was happening.
She quickly covered her chest with her hand, feeling somewhat frustrated.
Has that policeman already figured out who I am?
......
In the interrogation room of the First Investigation Division, given Matsuda's previous slacking off,
Megure directly assigned him the task of interrogating the criminals, along with another laborer from the First Division, Takagi.
"Is this the motive for the murder?"
Matsuda tapped the table with his index finger, his face dark with anger, and said...
"Do you know what you've done? You've killed someone!"
"So what! Kamata killed people too!" Kou Shang Mai immediately retorted.
"Can these two properties be the same?"
Matsuda sighed.
"Since you have clues, why don't you come to the police and expose him? Is it worth ruining your future for such a scumbag?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Shangwu's expression softened immediately.
She could tell that Matsuda was speaking from the heart.
“Search for clues, report to the police, then we investigate, arrest Putian, the judge sentences him, he goes to prison, and he starts anew.”
Matsuda spoke to himself,
"If only you could do that, how wonderful that would be! Unfortunately, it's impossible to do so now."
“What’s the use of saying all this now?” Hong Shang lowered his head. “At least, I killed those who deserved to die.”
Matsuda knew that, for Kougami Mai at this moment,
Killing a damned person was the only belief that kept her from collapsing.
Matsuda didn't expose him, but simply walked out of the interrogation room expressionlessly.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
A can of ice-cold drink was pressed against Matsuda's face, followed by Sato's voice.
"Seriously, leaving Takagi there all alone? He's a newbie, what if something goes wrong?"
"You really care about him?"
