Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

This idiot!

Why do you get so inflexible when it comes to cases?

Really!

Yumi stomped her foot in frustration, already regretting bringing him along.

Teiji Moriya is a very influential public figure in Japan.

If he wanted to make things difficult for Matsuda, he could expose this matter.

This will have a significant impact not only on the Metropolitan Police Department but also on the First Division.

At that point, Matsuda's promotion and raise will likely be a pipe dream.

Idiot Matsuda, how am I supposed to explain this to Miwako now!

Yumi, hiding in the car, covered her face, her head aching.

……

Not right.

It didn't take much effort for Matsuda to conduct a quick search of the first floor.

Such a large house, yet not a single servant was hired.

It seems they don't want any secrets to be discovered.

Moreover, now we can say that it's the final moment.

In this incident, the only prime suspect is Moriya Teiji.

Matsuda was almost certain that he was the murderer, but he lacked crucial evidence.

What concerned Matsuda even more was why Megure was keeping it from him.

When Matsuda first discovered this, he did wonder if Megure was worried that he was being promoted too quickly, or even that he might become Megure's boss in the future.

Therefore, Inspector Megure wanted to use this incident to curb Matsuda's arrogance.

But along the way here, Matsuda had already abandoned this idea.

If Inspector Megure truly wanted to suppress him, he wouldn't have argued with Chief Odagiri and Inspector Matsumoto about Matsuda's reasoning at the dispatch station.

Since waking up, Matsuda has been working under Inspector Megure for over a month.

Even adding the seven days spent in one class three years ago...

He worked under Inspector Megure for less than two months in total.

But he always had a good impression of Inspector Megure, even though he seemed a bit slow at reasoning.

But in other respects, Inspector Megure is an impeccable boss.

Matsuda always felt that he couldn't possibly be the kind of person who would suppress his subordinates out of jealousy.

But if it wasn't for that reason, why would Megure hide the news from him?

Matsuda chose to avoid Megure and the others and sneak into the Moriya mansion alone in order to find this answer.

……

"The new town plan for Seymour, which took a long time to complete, was put on hold due to the mayor's resignation."

"That's why Professor Teiji Moriya challenged me. Damaging my reputation as a high school detective would not only serve to get revenge on me, but also divert the police's attention..."

Conan hides by the door and uses a voice changer to decipher the case in Shinichi Kudo's voice.

As he was speaking eloquently, a familiar figure flashed by on the stairs, immediately silencing Conan.

It's him?

Inspector Megure was right, Matsuda did notice!

Now everything should be foolproof!

Now, all we need to do is stall them...

A hint of joy appeared on Conan's face.

"Brother Kudo, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly go silent?"

The crowd, who were listening with rapt attention, immediately urged the phone to stop ringing when it went silent.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Kudo's voice continued to come from the phone.

……

Just as Conan uncovers the culprit's true identity, Matsuda checks each room in turn.

He quickly discovered the planted bombs in several corners.

So that’s it!

Matsuda breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder there are practically no other servants in this mansion.

Presumably, Moriya Teiji, as the prisoner, had already made this plan.

After his crimes were exposed, he detonated the entire building, making it his final resting place.

For some reason, Inspector Megure was unable to explain the situation.

He could only pretend to be hiding it, but he had previously leaked the crucial information about Moriya Teiji to Matsuda.

The goal was to get Matsuda's attention so he could come and resolve the crisis.

However, a police inspector with his brains probably wouldn't have thought of something like this.

This must have been Conan's suggestion!

While thinking about these things, Matsuda quickly dismantled the bombs scattered throughout the room.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Conan's deduction had also reached its final stage.

We can't delay any longer. Hasn't that guy finished yet?

Conan was a little anxious, but Shinichi Kudo's tone of voice showed no sign of anything unusual.

At that moment, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.

Seeing the other person showing off something to him, Conan finally relaxed completely.

"The reason the professor stopped the explosion in the park was because the gas lamp there was a symbol of his Seymour, and he didn't want those London-style gas lamps to be destroyed."

"Am I right, Professor!"

With no worries about the future, Conan directly questioned them.

After saying all this in one breath,

Conan angrily shook his head, swatting away Matsuda's hand that was slapping him on the head.

Looking at Matsuda's chuckling face, Conan frowned in annoyance.

That guy is still as annoying as ever!

Matsuda saw Conan's somewhat exasperated look, smiled smugly, then slung the things he was carrying over his back and went straight into the house.

"Produce the evidence, Kudo."

Teiji Moriya is making his last stand.

However, as Matsuda entered, Moriya's imposing words were immediately interrupted.

He frowned at Matsuda: "What are you doing here?"

Megure, standing to the side, was also somewhat nervous, completely ignoring Moriya Teiji, who was a prime suspect.

"Matsuda-kun? You..."

"Don't worry, Inspector, I've taken care of everything." Matsuda nodded with a smile.

"Phew..." Megure let out a long breath. "That's good."

"Let's get back to the business we were discussing,"

Matsuda glanced at Moriya Teiji, who was staring at him with a gloomy expression.

"This gentleman seems to want evidence. Do you have any, Shinichi Kudo?"

"Of course I have it!" Kudo said confidently on the phone. "The evidence is right behind that model."

Matsuda and Shiratori stared intently at Moriya Teiji, while Inspector Megure walked to the spot Conan had indicated, picked up something from the stool, and...

Before he could speak, Kudo on the phone preemptively spoke.

"Those are the tools the bomber used to disguise himself!"

What?! Megure's eyes widened instantly.

"impossible!"

At this moment, Moriya Teiji, somewhat confused by Matsuda's appearance, subconsciously retorted,

"I clearly put all those things in the safe in the study!"

"I see!"

Matsuda nodded in satisfaction, and Shiratori, who was standing next to him, hurriedly got up and went to the study.

Megure was stunned for a moment, then realized that Shinichi Kudo was using him to trick Teiji Moriya.

Chapter 184 We are a trustworthy superior and subordinate relationship.

That brat, couldn't he at least explain beforehand that he was going to do something like this?

What if I had said something inappropriate...

Megure complained inwardly.
