If he hadn't taken that risk, Matsuda would have had a very long time before he could have risen to the position of Metropolitan Police Department Inspector General.
Matsuda didn't want to be in his seventies or eighties before he could take that position.
It appears that the plan to suppress the detectives, with the help of Tokitsu Junya, has been successful.
Of course, these three guys still need to be appeased.
There's nothing we can do; the Metropolitan Police Department and local police headquarters are simply too incompetent.
Although sometimes detectives like Junya Tsujima would resort to any means to fabricate wrongful convictions for fame and fortune.
But even among detectives, there are those like Kudo, Hattori, and Hakuba who make pursuing truth their goal and ideal.
The latter is undoubtedly the best tool for the police...
Ahem, the best partners. Of course, it's best not to let them develop too much hatred towards the police...
"Don't worry, neither the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department nor the local police headquarters will give a direct response to this matter,"
Matsuda looked at the three detectives and explained,
"At most, there will be a public outcry against unscrupulous detectives, but once the storm passes, everything will be fine, right?"
"But in Japan, a detective's reputation will likely become inseparable from their profits in the future..."
Hakuba Saguru looked at Hattori Heiji with a hint of schadenfreude.
His main area of activity is not in Japan, so this incident has little impact on him.
Chapter 138 You guys don't really want to be police officers, do you?
"So what?" Matsuda retorted. "Are the three of you, like Tokitsu Junya, only becoming detectives for fame?"
"of course not!"
Heiji Hattori, Saguru Hakuba, and Conan all said in unison.
"That's settled then. Since you didn't become detectives for fame, what does it matter to you if the reputation of the detective profession is damaged?"
"But..." Hattori and the other two blinked, wanting to object, but unable to find the words to refute.
After all, they had just said that they didn't become detectives for fame.
If I were to refute this now, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that I am the kind of detective that Tokitsu Junya was talking about?
"Alright, I need to stop Yue Shui now. If she keeps fighting, it might cause serious injury."
Matsuda waved to the three detectives.
"By the way, if you guys think that being a detective will damage your reputation, then you might as well not be detectives at all. With the abilities of the three of you, wouldn't it be great if you became criminal investigators at the police station?"
"Heh, I don't want to. The police are too restrictive." Conan pouted.
After he finished speaking, he did not hear the other two people's voices.
Conan looked up and noticed that both Heiji Hattori and Saguru Hakuba had expressions of attraction on their faces.
Got it!
Everyone forgot that these two guys come from police families!
For them, becoming a police officer is probably a path paved for their future by their elders.
These two proud and arrogant guys probably wouldn't have listened to their family's advice before.
But if Matsuda really ruins the detectives' reputation, then these two will probably have no other choice.
"Hey, you two, you didn't actually listen to Matsuda and become police officers, did you?" Conan questioned.
"What? I... I wouldn't!" Hattori stammered in response.
Hakuba Saguru, who was standing to the side, also snorted coldly, indicating that he would never become a policeman.
But as he did these things, he turned his head away and looked elsewhere.
Conan immediately noticed their insincerity and angrily said, "You two actually want to betray the detective..."
Before he could finish speaking, Hattori punched him on the head.
"Hey kid, what does it matter to you whether we're detectives or not?"
Hattori punched Conan's head hard.
"Whether or not someone becomes a detective is a matter for us adults. What business is it of a child like you?"
Now that you mention it, something does seem a bit off.
Hakuba Saguru looked at Conan with a strange expression.
"Officer Matsuda kept saying 'the three of you,' but right now, if we remove Ms. Koshimizu and Tokitsu Junya over there, there's clearly only the two of us detectives left?"
"You mean, when Officer Matsuda was speaking just now, he included this brat in the count?"
Hattori reached out and tugged at Conan's cheek.
"Is this kid special? Why does Officer Matsuda treat him like a detective?"
“A renowned detective like Inspector Matsuda would never make such an obvious mistake,”
Hakuba Saguru also carefully examined Conan.
"The fact that he said that means that this kid must have something that Officer Matsuda values."
It’s terrible…
Conan endured Hattori's pounding on his cheeks, already regretting his impulsiveness. He had forgotten that he was no longer the high school detective Shinichi Kudo, but just an elementary school student, Conan Edogawa!
……
Leaving aside Conan, who almost exposed himself on the other side,
Meanwhile, Yue Shui, who was venting her anger, suddenly felt her arm being grabbed. Still furious, she immediately shouted...
"leave me alone!"
Without thinking, he then waved his arms, trying to shake off the other person's hand.
But as soon as she moved her arm, Yue Shui realized that the person pulling her was Matsuda.
Yue Shui stopped abruptly, and lowered his head as if he were a child caught doing something wrong.
"They should have vented enough by now,"
Matsuda looked at Tokitsu Junya, whose face was bruised and swollen, on the ground, and asked softly.
"senior……"
Koshimizu called out in a hoarse voice, then rushed into Matsuda's arms and burst into tears.
Matsuda held her in his arms without saying a word, just letting Koshimizu cry quietly.
Ran, who was not far away, carefully observed Sato's expression.
The female detective immediately noticed her gaze and said with a somewhat awkward expression,
"Today is a special case, I don't mind."
You wouldn't mind in special circumstances, but in other words you would mind normally?
Xiaolan muttered to herself.
As expected, although Officer Matsuda and Officer Sato haven't explicitly stated their relationship, they are clearly a couple.
In that case, what about the garden...?
Xiao Lan looked helplessly at her friends in the audience below the stage.
Having previously given in to Sonoko's pleas, she had agreed to help Sonoko sabotage her sister Ayako's blind date.
But if Ayako's blind date fails, with Officer Sato around, is there really any hope for her and Officer Matsuda?
For a moment, Xiaolan was caught in a dilemma.
……
Yue Shui cried for a full half hour before the sobbing gradually stopped.
She lifted her head from Matsuda's embrace, looked at the tear stains on the chest of Matsuda's suit, and blushed instantly.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I'll take your clothes to be washed."
It's because of tears that I'm doing laundry again...
Matsuda thought of Kujo.
That was the reason she brought Matsuda home in the first place, and that's how the rest of the story unfolded.
"It's okay, I'll just find a laundromat myself later."
Matsuda smiled, not letting Koshimizu notice his unusual behavior.
"Oh right, finally finished crying?" Matsuda teased.
"Senior!" Yue Shui stomped her foot in annoyance. Although her personality was usually quite boyish,
But when she occasionally acts coquettishly, she exudes a strong girlish charm.
"Have you put it down?" Matsuda asked.
“Yes,” Yue Shui nodded gently, “I have cleared Xiang Nai’s name. She will surely rest in peace in heaven.”
"Go and rest for a while. I'll come find you after I've taken care of things here," Matsuda said, patting the girl's shoulder.
After Koshimizu left, he took out the key and unlocked the handcuffs on Tokitsu Junya's hands.
"Cough, cough,"
Tokitsu Junya coughed twice and wiped the blood from his nose that had flowed to his mouth.
One of his eyes was bruised and swollen from being hit by the water, so he could only strain to open his other, undamaged eye.
"Matsuda Jinpei, I won't let you get away with this! I'll definitely go to court and report you to the Metropolitan Police Department!"
"Is that so?" Matsuda smiled indifferently. "Go if you want, but before that, I think you should take care of your own problems first."
"my question?"
