“I just want to see her one last time,” Teng Xiangming replied pitifully. “This is my last wish.”
"Now you realize you can't bear to part with her?" Matsuda was speechless. "When you framed her before, why didn't you think more about the consequences?"
“I didn’t think too much at the time,” Teng Xiangming sighed. “At that time, all I could think about was making Yoko remember me forever. If I couldn’t see Yoko again, I would never go to the underworld.”
Matsuda looked at the guy's soul and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
In this world, after the souls of the deceased have had their final wishes fulfilled, they will go to the underworld to be reincarnated.
Matsuda can indeed forcibly send captured evil spirits to the underworld, and in doing so, he can also obtain merit rewards from the system.
The evil spirit Kishida, whom he had previously captured in the detention center, was forcibly sent to the underworld in the bathroom of Yoko Okino's apartment, for which he received a system reward of 200 merit points.
However, the soul of Teng Xiangming in front of us has not done anything bad after death, so it cannot be considered an evil spirit.
If his wish is not fulfilled and he is forcibly sent to the underworld, what the system might receive is not merit, but sin.
……
The next day, Matsuda had just sat down in his seat with breakfast in hand.
"Wow, Matsuda, you actually dare to eat in the First Division's office!"
It was Yumi; she appeared out of nowhere and snatched a meat bun directly from Matsuda's bag.
"If Manager Matsumoto finds out, you're in big trouble!"
"Here's one more! Hush money!"
Matsuda took out another meat bun and handed it over.
Seeing Yumi reach out to take it, he quickly picked up the bun and took a bite!
Haha, let's see how you eat it!
Just as Matsuda was thinking this, he saw Yumiya take a big bite of the bun.
Hmph, you think this will stop me from eating?
Yumi looked at Matsuda with a defiant gaze.
Ha, if you don't care, why should I care!
Matsuda, take another bite!
Yumi, take another bite!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them finished the meat bun.
"Um, Officer Matsuda..."
Takagi stood awkwardly to the side. He had originally wanted to ask Matsuda for advice on the reasoning behind Yoko Okino's case last night, but seeing the two of them "affectionately" eating breakfast together in front of him made him feel awkward.
Suddenly I feel it's better not to disturb them.
However, Officer Matsuda and Yumi are definitely a couple!
That way, Officer Sato will be all alone with me...
Just as Takagi was thinking this, his gaze swept over the other police officers in the office, and he immediately sighed.
Even without Officer Matsuda, with these older men around, he and Officer Sato probably wouldn't have any hope.
……
In the afternoon, Yoko Okino arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department as agreed.
At the agent's request, the Metropolitan Police Department did not announce her arrival, but simply led her discreetly to an empty office.
Matsuda originally didn't want to get involved in such troublesome things as taking statements anymore, but after seeing Yoko Okino, he felt that it would be better to get involved again.
Because behind Yoko Okino, he saw a blurry figure: Teng Xiangmingyi. This guy hadn't left yet!
……
There were only three people in the small office: Matsuda, Takagi, and Yoko Okino.
Following procedure, Takagi began questioning Yoko Okino about what happened last night.
Matsuda remained silent, staring at what was behind Okino Yoko.
His attitude, however, clearly caused the two people remaining in the room to misunderstand.
Takagi assumed that Officer Matsuda was dissatisfied with his work attitude, so he worked even harder.
Yoko Okino thought there was something wrong with her clothes, and kept looking down at them.
Because of her ex-boyfriend's death, she specially chose a plain-colored long dress today, but no matter how you look at it, it looks perfectly normal.
Just as the statement was about to be completed, Matsuda suddenly stood up and said in Yoko Okino's direction,
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom. Can you come with me?"
"Me?" Yoko Okino blushed instantly!
Why did Officer Matsuda need to bring a girl along when he went to the restroom by himself?
“It wasn’t you.” Matsuda shook his head.
“Then I…” Takagi also stood up.
“It wasn’t you either!” Matsuda pressed Takagi back into his seat. “Continue taking the statement.”
After saying this, Matsuda walked out, leaving the two people remaining in the office looking at each other in bewilderment.
“Officer Takagi, Officer Matsuda, he…” Yoko Okino looked completely bewildered.
"Well, maybe I didn't get enough rest last night," Takagi explained with a dry laugh. "You know, we police officers have a lot of work pressure."
……
In the bathroom, Matsuda, a cigarette dangling from his lips, coldly stared at the fat man in front of him.
"Tell me, what happened? Didn't you promise me last night that you would take one last look at Miss Yoko, fulfill your wish, and then go to the underworld to be reincarnated?"
"me……"
The ghost Teng Xiangming stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything useful.
"The living have their own world, and the dead have their own world; it's best for both sides to avoid contact."
As he spoke, Matsuda was about to take out the silver chain and subdue the ghost before him.
Seeing that he was about to get serious, Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend, Yoko Tengxiang, suddenly bowed at a ninety-degree angle.
"I'm really worried about Yoko, so... I have one more thing I'd like to ask you!"
"What is it?" Matsuda frowned in disdain.
"Just, that's..."
Teng Xiangming hesitated, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.
"If you don't tell me, I'm leaving." Matsuda turned around, making a move to leave.
"I hope you can pursue Yoko and become her boyfriend!"
ha?
Matsuda's hand, which was gripping the doorknob, stopped abruptly.
Am I right?
This guy wants me to pursue his girlfriend?
There are people who beg others to cheat on them?
You must have misheard, absolutely!
"Say it again, I think I misheard?" Matsuda asked with a strange expression.
"I hope you can pursue Yoko and become her boyfriend!" Teng Xiangming said loudly again.
It wasn't my hearing that was wrong; this guy's brain just went haywire after he died!
Matsuda sighed.
"What's the reason? You were willing to commit suicide for Yoko Okino, so you're not the type to get excited seeing someone you like with someone else, are you?"
Chapter 9 The Treasure Code
"I'm already dead, I can't give Yoko happiness anymore,"
Teng Xiangming said with a gloomy expression,
“What you just said is very true. The living have their own world, and I, a dead person, really shouldn’t have any more contact with Yoko.”
"but……"
His expression suddenly became agitated.
“You saw what happened last night. Yoko didn’t do anything, but that woman named Ikezawa Yuko stole the key and tried to frame her.”
"Yoko is a celebrity, and this kind of thing will definitely happen again in the future. If I'm gone, who will protect her!"
"So, you want me to pursue her?" Matsuda was speechless for a moment. "...Why me?"
"You helped Yoko find out the truth last night, and she must have developed feelings for you now!"
Teng Xiangming explained,
"Secondly, you can see me, so even if someone uses supernatural methods to harm Yoko in the future, you can protect her!"
"I am already dead, and my time in this world is running out."
"I hope to see Yoko find happiness again before I disappear completely!"
"In any case, please, Officer Matsuda, grant this request of a dead man!"
As he spoke, Teng Xiangming suddenly sat down with a "plop," his forehead pressed tightly against the floor.
It seemed as if he wouldn't get up unless Matsuda agreed.
And the reasons he just gave were indeed reasonable and well-founded!
For a moment, Matsuda actually wavered. Could it be that Yoko Okino and I are really that compatible?
