“Yes, that old man from Migu also told me about this,” Officer Chang smiled, his expression suddenly turning serious. “That old man also asked me to pass on a message to you.”
"Officer, please speak."
"The Lavender Villa case did indeed wrong the girl who jumped into the sea, but the two police officers who interrogated her committed suicide out of guilt. Migu hopes that you will be more mindful of their reputation in the future."
“Yes,” Matsuda nodded knowingly. “Officer, please tell Yoneya-senpai that I know what to do.”
……
"Senior, where are we going now?" Koshimizu asked as they exited the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Something happened at Nichiuri TV station. Inspector Megure from the First Division and the rest of the team have already gone there. I want to go check on them too, you..."
Before Matsuda could finish speaking, Koshimizu blurted out, "I want to go too!"
“Okay, you can be of help when you get there.”
After Matsuda agreed, he found a police car from the First Division and drove away from the Metropolitan Police Department with Koshimizu in tow.
……
When Matsuda and Koshimizu arrived at the Nichiri TV station...
The entrance to the TV station was already crowded with people. Many news media outlets had rushed over after hearing that someone had died at Nichiri TV, ready to report on the unfortunate event of their "colleague".
Nichiri TV, naturally unwilling to expose its own scandals, had a large number of its employees block the entrance, preventing others from entering.
Matsuda and Koshimizu initially tried to go in, but they were refused.
It wasn't until Matsuda pulled out his police handbook that the surrounding reporters recognized him.
"Matsuda Jinpei! He's a famous detective in the Metropolitan Police Department!"
"Officer Matsuda, could you please tell us what happened inside?" a reporter asked.
I'm still not famous enough. Even with my face, people don't recognize me. I still have to rely on my police handbook.
Matsuda chuckled to himself.
Just as he was about to explain to the reporter who asked the question that he had just arrived, an employee of Nichiri TV hurriedly pulled him and Koshimizu inside.
Chapter 92 Hanging Conan
A manager from Nichiri TV wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a bitter expression, "Officer Matsuda, you've finally arrived. Please be sure to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible."
"What exactly happened?" Matsuda said. "I just arrived and don't know anything yet."
"This one……"
The person in charge wanted to explain, but he didn't seem to be very clear about the matter either. He rambled on for a long time without getting to the point.
Just as Matsuda was getting impatient, a stunningly beautiful woman with bright blue cat eyes walked over.
"Chief, let me speak to Officer Matsuda. I know more about that matter."
"That's fine then, Rena. You must make sure to explain things clearly to Officer Matsuda."
The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief and then gave further instructions.
"We need to find out the truth as soon as possible and calm things down so that it won't affect our TV station!"
After saying this, the person in charge took his leave.
The beautiful woman with blue cat-like eyes smiled at Matsuda: "We meet again, Officer Matsuda."
"Miss Mizunashi, it's so late, why aren't you off work yet?" Matsuda said with a smile.
"It was supposed to be the end of the workday, but unfortunately, because of the murder, everyone at the TV station has been prevented from leaving by the police."
Rena Mizunashi shook her head helplessly.
"We need Officer Matsuda to find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise we might all have to spend the night at the TV station."
Matsuda and Rena Mizunashi were old acquaintances; Matsuda had previously captured the Italian bandit group.
It was Rena Mizunashi who spoke up for him at the press conference and secured his promotion.
Later, after Matsuda gained attention from the higher-ups in the Metropolitan Police Department and began to frequently host the department's case press conferences, he met with Rena Mizunashi even more often.
Standing to the side, Koshimizu saw Matsuda chatting and laughing with the beautiful woman, ignoring her for a long time, and suddenly felt a little jealous.
"Senior, who is this beautiful lady?" Yue Shui forcefully stepped between the two and asked.
"This is Ms. Rena Mizunashi, she's a very famous announcer on Nichiri TV."
After Matsuda finished introducing Rena Mizunashi, he was about to introduce Rena Koshimizu to her when...
The girl spoke first: "Koshimizu Nanatsuki, I'm a new recruit in the First Division, and I'm Officer Matsuda's assistant."
"Miss Mizunashi, could you please explain the case in detail? The murder case hasn't been fully investigated yet, so this is not the time for idle chatter."
"Ah? Okay."
Rena Mizunashi glanced at Matsuda and Koshimizu, smiled thoughtfully, and then began to explain the case.
In short, a program producer named Satomi, working for Nichiri TV, was shot and killed in a room on the fourth floor.
Inspector Megure, along with Sato and Takagi, has cordoned off the scene and is currently investigating all relevant personnel within the television station.
When Matsuda and Koshimizu arrived at the crime scene, led by Rena Mizunashi, they saw a large group of reporters interviewing a man outside the room where the dead body was located.
"Are you ever going to stop?! You're right, we did discuss canceling the show, but Mr. Satirical ultimately wants me to host it."
After the man finished speaking impatiently, he made a serious promise.
"I can announce here that I will carry on Mr. Satirical's legacy and continue to serve as the host. Moreover, I will bring this incident to the screen and do my best to find the demon who killed Mr. Satirical!"
"What's going on? Who is that man? Aren't reporters not allowed in?"
Matsuda thought of the people who were blocked outside the TV station.
"Takashi Matsuo is also a suspect currently suspected by the police, but he has an alibi. As for these reporters, those who are allowed in now are all media outlets that usually have good relations with Nichiri TV."
Rena Mizunashi explained,
“With a death, the TV station can’t prevent others from interviewing. With the help of these media outlets that usually have good relations with Nichibumi, the impact of this incident on the TV station can be minimized.”
"So that's how it is,"
Matsuda nodded, then led Koshimizu through the reporters and finally entered the crime scene.
"Brother Matsuda, you're finally back!"
When Megure saw Matsuda, his face lit up with joy.
"We're counting on you again this time!"
When Sato saw Matsuda return, his face lit up with joy, but then he noticed the little vixen following Matsuda.
The joyful smile instantly froze.
"Hehe, why did you come in too?"
Sato forced a smile onto his face.
"This is a murder scene. Anyone not from Section One, please leave!"
"Senior, I'm your assistant now..."
Koshimizu grabbed Matsuda's arm, looking pitiful as if she had been bullied.
"Matsuda!" Sato gritted his teeth.
"This..." Matsuda looked around.
One of these two is his girlfriend, whom he's practically in a relationship with, even though they're not officially together.
The other one is a junior colleague who's been passionately involved with a female colleague these past few days.
Taking sides rashly will undoubtedly hurt the feelings of the other.
Matsuda was having a headache when he suddenly heard a familiar voice that sounded like heavenly music.
"Officer Matsuda, you're here too?"
Matsuda turned his head and saw that it was indeed the beautiful and kind-hearted Ran!
"Xiao Lan, you've come at just the right time, I really am just too..."
Matsuda was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He instinctively opened his arms, wanting to hug Ran to express his gratitude.
Unfortunately, before he could reach Xiaolan's side, he was stopped by someone.
"Officer Matsuda, what's really wrong with you?"
Conan stood between Ran and Matsuda with a forced smile.
That bastard is trying to take advantage of Xiaolan again!
"Are you really that...?"
Sato and Koshimizu stood on either side of Matsuda and began to question him together.
The two women were clearly surprised to hear the same thing, and immediately snorted in anger at the same time.
"Officer Sato, Ms. Koshimizu..." Ran looked at the two timidly.
It's all Officer Matsuda's fault for talking nonsense; now she's been dragged into this too!
"I really...miss you so much, Conan!"
In that critical moment, Matsuda's brain worked at an accelerated pace, much to the astonishment of the others.
He picked up Conan and hung him by the collar on a hook to the side.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Conan, his face darkening, waved his arms and legs, trying to get down.
"Don't move, I'm praying for divine protection."
Matsuda clasped his hands together and prayed earnestly.
"Hey, I'm not the Grim Reaper! Don't you dare worship me like that, you bastard!" Conan yelled, his face twitching.
"Who worships Death? I worship Conan!"
