Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 469 Bang! The happiness is gone
Shibuya.

The 15th floor of a high-end apartment building.

Jinpei Matsuda sat on a chair beside the dining table, staring at Kurosawa Mirai who was sitting opposite him.

After staring at each other for a while, they turned their heads in unison to look at Zhu Fu Jingguang who was busy in the kitchen.

It's too late to say.

As soon as Jinpei Matsuda turned his head, Kurosawa Mirai quickly stretched out his little paws to the cabinet next to him, pulled out a large flat cube and stuffed it under the seat.

but!
Suddenly, a big hand came out and snatched the thing in her hand.

"Is this the tablet Jingguang mentioned?" Matsuda Jinpei took it in his hand and turned it over curiously. "How do I use it?"

Kurosawa Mirai rolled his eyes and showed a flattering smile on his face: "Well, Brother Matsuda, if you don't tell Brother Jingguang, I will teach you how to use it, how about it?"

Her smile is like that of an angel on earth, radiating light and extremely gentle.

Faced with the request of such a cute, heartwarming, seemingly well-behaved and sensible little angel, Matsuda Jinpei of course...

It was a choice to refuse.

"Not very good... Jingguang said that he wanted me to watch you."

Matsuda Jinpei carefully pressed the buttons on the tablet, "This shouldn't be flammable or explosive, right?"

After he left the crime scene, he asked Noah about Morobushi Keimitsu's current address, and unexpectedly, it was in Shibuya.

If he had asked a day earlier, he would have just come over yesterday.

Jinpei Matsuda came here for no other reason than he was feeling depressed and wanted to talk to his old classmates.

"...Brother Matsuda, you don't have to be so strict, right?" Kurosawa Mirai's head drooped, and he said dejectedly, "It's just one level... I'm really just one level away from passing it..."

She thought that Jingguang's old classmate would be easier to talk to, but she didn't expect him to be such a strict person.

——Matsuda Jinpei arrived at an unfortunate time, just when Morobushi Kagemitsu was preparing dinner.

Zhu Fujingguang was worrying about how to restrict the young lady from playing games during cooking time, and just then Matsuda came. He happily asked his old classmate to help "keep an eye on the young lady and prevent her from playing with the tablet."

Jinpei Matsuda has been working in the Metropolitan Police Department. How could he have the opportunity to come into contact with the Five Star Team's 'high-tech' products?
He has no idea what a 'tablet' is.

But since his old classmates have made such a request, Matsuda Jinpei has no choice but to accept the order and keep an eye on Kurosawa Mirai as required.

Now, Jinpei Matsuda finally saw what the so-called tablet was.

When he heard the lifeless eyes of Miss Kurosawa Mirai as she mumbled something like "I'm almost done" or "It's almost done", he could probably conclude that -

This thing called a tablet is a new type of game console.

It's also a super advanced gaming machine.

After Jinpei Matsuda turned on the screen, he took a quick look at it and decisively placed it on the table where he could reach it but out of reach of a certain young lady.

He set a password and couldn't open it.

Matsuda Jinpei continued to stare at Kurosawa Mirai in a daze for a long time, and finally Morobushi Keimitsu prepared the meal and brought it out:

"Sorry for the wait... Eh? Why is this tablet here?"

"...Oh, I'm a little curious, so I took it and studied it." Matsuda Jinpei said, "Is this a game console?"

After Zhu Fu Jingguang put the dishes on the table, he smiled bitterly and said, "Well, it was originally a tool for communication and work, but after Noah opened up the network and some game functions, it became..."

He helplessly used his eyes to signal a certain young lady who was still in a state of dismay. Matsuda Jinpei understood and gave his old classmate a look of condolence.

"Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other since graduation. How did you think of looking for me this time, Matsuda?"

At the dinner table, while eating, Morofushi Kagemitsu asked Matsuda Jinpei about the purpose of his visit.

Although they had never met offline, they had chatted a lot online after Matsuda joined the Five Star Group, so they didn't feel strange when they met.

He also scooped a bowl of rice for Jinpei Matsuda. The amount of food was more than enough for three people.

The latter picked up his chopsticks and replied while eating: "I just doubt myself a little bit... By the way, I met Zero a few days ago."

"Zero, he should still be busy with public security matters, right?"

"That should be him. I saw him at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department." Matsuda Jinpei ate his meal in a depressed tone.

He seriously suspected that it was Lie who deliberately pulled him over to wait for Ling last time, with the purpose of getting him, his old classmate, to join the gang.

Zhu Fujingguang had expected something from his expression, and said with a smile: "You weren't asked by some master to win over Ling, were you? Speaking of which, Mr. Ying also asked me to see if I could persuade Ling, but I failed. You were the same, right?"

"...Ah?" Matsuda Jinpei looked up in confusion, "I didn't say that."

Morobushi Kagemitsu: “(゜ロ゜) Eh?”

"I told him not to come. This organization is a trap."

"..."

Seeing some resentment on his old classmate's face, Zhu Fujingguang slowly put down his chopsticks and asked with concern: "Hey, Matsuda, what happened?"

Matsuda Jinpei hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "You should know about yesterday's explosion, right?"

"I know. Just a little further ahead." Zhu Fujingguang nodded. "Are you handling this case?"

"…Not only did I deal with it, I caused it."

Jinpei Matsuda poked the bowl in frustration.

This threshold in his heart was against him. When he thought about this, he didn't know how to face other people in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Jing Guang was stunned: "You, you blew it up?"

Matsuda Jinpei paused, "No, I installed it, but I wasn't the one who detonated it... and there was also a death."

If he had detonated it himself, he probably wouldn't be so depressed.

Jinpei Matsuda told Keimitsu Morobushi the whole story, including how Rei dragged him to install the bomb.

After listening to him, Jing Guang also roughly understood the dilemma of his old classmate, and he said in a gentle and persuasive way: "Since this has already happened, it is useless to worry about it... I think it is better to find a way to prevent similar situations from happening in the future. Otherwise, why don't you go ask Mr. Lie?"

Matsuda Jinpei: "..."

That's why he doesn't want to look for Lie.

When he thought of Rei's smiling face, Matsuda Jinpei felt a toothache.

"If you keep it to yourself, it won't be good for everyone, right? The problem won't be solved unless you go and defuse those bombs one by one, but that's not very realistic." Zhu Fu Jingguang said kindly, "I think Mr. Lie will definitely find a way."

According to Jinpei Matsuda, and considering his previous knowledge of Rei, who liked to install bombs everywhere on the streets, he should have expected that someone would use the bombs he installed to do something, and he would definitely have some way to prevent the other party from misappropriating them.

Matsuda Jinpei thought about it and there seemed to be no better solution, so he nodded and said, "Okay... I'll ask him later."
