Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 308 Sorry, we've taken over this case!
Matsuda Jotaro stood in the center of the boxing ring, breathing heavily. His bandaged hands trembled slightly, but he still raised them high to greet the cheering audience around him.

The entire performance hall erupted in cheers, the deafening roar almost lifting the roof off, and flashes of light illuminated his tired yet resolute face.

Just as the staff were about to present the gleaming championship belt, Officer Ota from the Bunkyo Police Station stormed onto the boxing ring with several officers, and the entire performance hall fell silent instantly.

In the audience, people looked at each other, and whispers spread like ripples.

The organizer of the boxing match's expression changed drastically. One of the middle-aged men with a mustache stepped forward quickly, but was stopped by a sharp look from Officer Da Tian.

He could only stand there awkwardly, constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

“Matsuda,” Officer Ota said expressionlessly, “I’ve let you finish the match, now it’s time to fulfill your promise.”

"You are going too far!"

Matsuda Jinpei stood in front of his father, his fists clenched tightly.

"The award ceremony for Dad is about to begin, how can you interrupt us at this time!"

His voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet venue, immediately amplifying the murmurs among the audience.

Matsuda Jotaro wiped the sweat from his forehead, then took a deep breath and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Officer, could you wait a little longer? I'll go with you as soon as I receive the gold belt."

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously drifted to the gold belt that was so close to him, a testament to his more than ten years of hard work.

"Matsuda!" Officer Ota raised his voice, taking a sudden step forward. "I only promised you that you could finish the competition, not that you could receive the award!"

His hand had already reached the handcuffs at his waist.
"Come back to the police station with us immediately, or I will consider it resisting arrest!"

The audience in the stands were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

After a brief silence, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Let him accept the award!"

This shout acted as a fuse, instantly igniting the anger of the entire audience.

"Matsuda Jotaro won, why shouldn't he take the gold belt!"

"No matter what crime he committed, the gold belt is an honor he deserves!"

"Even the police can't be this unreasonable!"

An angry roar echoed through the performance hall; some people started stomping their feet, others whistled, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

The staff member holding the gold belt stood awkwardly to the side, unsure whether to continue the awards ceremony.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, a young police officer nervously approached Officer Daejeon: "Inspector, should we wait a little longer..."

"What are you waiting for!"

Officer Daejeon angrily shoved away the officer who was trying to reason with him, the force so great that the young man staggered back several steps and almost fell off the boxing ring.

He strode up to Matsuda Jotaro, his right hand already pulling out gleaming handcuffs: "What kind of logic is it for police to wait for criminals!"

"father!"

Matsuda Jinpei grabbed Matsuda Jotaro's leg.
"do not go……"

Matsuda Jotaro's eyes instantly reddened. He knelt down and stroked his son's soft black hair with his rough hands.

"Alright, Jinpei, my dream has come true."

Matsuda Jotaro forced a smile, but it looked worse than a grimace. "I can still get the gold belt after the case is investigated."

“That’s different!” Matsuda Jinpei raised his head, trying hard not to let the tears in his eyes fall. “Dad should be standing on the podium and taking the gold belt! You deserve it!”

Matsuda Jotaro smiled and gently wiped away the tears on his son's face: "It's nothing different. I'm already very satisfied to have finished today's match. You go home with the Hagiwara siblings. I'll go back after the matter is investigated."

Although reluctant, Matsuda Jinpei nodded vigorously.

He tried to straighten his back, wanting to act like a man and not worry his father, but his trembling lips betrayed the fear in the child's heart.

Just as Matsuda Jotaro was about to give a few more instructions, Officer Ota impatiently grabbed his wrist and roughly twisted him behind his back.

Just as Officer Ota was about to handcuff Jotaro Matsuda, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Inspector, aren't you in a bit too much of a hurry?"

Officer Ota narrowed his eyes, looking down at Lin Xiuyi standing beside the boxing ring.

“I have done what I promised him. This is a case of our Bunkyo Police Station. It is not your place to meddle, you are just an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department.”

Lin Xiuyi did not respond, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

His reaction immediately made Officer Daejeon feel inexplicably uneasy.

Just then, a deep voice came from behind: "What if this case is handled by the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division? Then wouldn't he be able to handle it?"

With steady footsteps, Inspector Samezaki led Officer Matsumoto and Officer Megure onto the boxing ring.

Inspector Samezaki took a document out of his suit pocket and handed it to Officer Ota: "From now on, this case will be handled by our First Investigation Division. Ota, if you have any objections, you can report it to the higher-ups at the Metropolitan Police Department."

Upon seeing the documents in front of him, Officer Da Tian's face instantly turned ashen.

He stared intently at the document bearing the Metropolitan Police Department's seal, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and release Matsuda Jotaro.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding audience erupted in cheers and boos, with some even whistling, which made Officer Daejeon's expression even more unpleasant.

"go!"

Officer Da Tian spat out the word through gritted teeth and quickly left the boxing ring with his men.

Lin Xiuyi glanced at the staff members who were standing there dumbfounded and said, "Let's continue with the awards ceremony."

The staff member seemed to snap out of a daze and quickly nodded, "...Okay, okay!"

The awards ceremony for the Champions Carnival Boxing event was finally able to continue.

When the emcee announced loudly, "This year's champion is Matsuda Jotaro!" the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers once again.

Matsuda Jotaro stood on the podium and had the staff tie the gold belt he had always dreamed of around his waist.

Matsuda Jinpei, sitting in the audience, jumped up excitedly, his little hands clapping until they were red.

The Hagiwara siblings clapped enthusiastically, and Hagiwara Chisato even had tears welling up in her eyes.

As Matsuda Jotaro looked around the boxing ring at the faces cheering for him, years of hardship, sweat, and pain transformed into a silent emotion.

He tilted his head back, not wanting anyone to see the tears welling up in his eyes, but his trembling lips betrayed his inner excitement.
