Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

This time, he was alone again, saving a witness who was almost silenced.

Chapter 243 How did I manage to find this?

"I'll go in and take a look."

After saying a word, Matsuda pushed open the door and entered Hirota Akemi's hospital room.

"Is that Officer Matsuda?" Hirota Akemi turned her head slightly upon hearing the door open.

"It's me." Matsuda came to the bedside, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "Are you feeling better?"

"much better,"

Hirota Akemi smiled, but the smile quickly faded.

"Officer Matsuda, you didn't actually need to save me."

"Why do you say that?" Matsuda frowned. "Everyone should cherish their own life."

“But I don’t deserve this,” Hirota Akemi said sadly.

Yesterday's warehouse battle began when Matsuda and Gin started drawing their guns and exchanging fire. Hirota Akemi had been in a daze ever since, and therefore did not notice anything unusual.

“Whether it’s worth it or not isn’t up to you to decide,” Matsuda shook his head and said. “The police’s responsibility isn’t just to catch bad guys; preventing good people from being forced to commit crimes is also part of our job.”

"Actually, we should be the ones apologizing to you. If we had caught those men in black, you should be enjoying your work and life right now."

"They...they're a huge organization," Hirota Akemi stammered, her voice trembling. "They really are..."

“I know.” Matsuda stopped Akemi from continuing. “That’s why I apologized to you. Now is not the time to deal with them.”

As Matsuda spoke, Gin's image flashed into his mind.

Gin, a top-tier character in the detective series, is a professional assassin.

Yesterday in the warehouse, Matsuda actually had a chance to have Ghost Knight and John take down Gin.

But if he were eliminated, the entire world of famous detectives would spiral out of control.

So in the end, Matsuda decided to let Gin continue his antics within a controllable range until the BOSS behind him surfaced.

"Officer Matsuda,"

Seeing Matsuda's confident expression, Hirota Akemi was also encouraged.

"If possible, please rescue my sister from that organization."

Oh?

Matsuda snapped out of his reverie and back to reality.

He vaguely remembered that Haibara seemed to have escaped from an organization's base.

But Matsuda had no idea where that base was located.

"Do you know where your sister is right now?" Matsuda asked hurriedly.

“I don’t know either. The organization doesn’t allow my sister to reveal any secrets. It’s always my sister who contacts me.” Hirota Akemi shook her head.

"Your sister has a high status in the organization?"

Matsuda carefully controlled his words, making sure Hirota Akemi didn't detect any flaws.

"Yes, they say she's a very important person."

As Hirota Akemi finished speaking, she reached out and tightly grasped Matsuda's hand.

"Officer Matsuda, please, you must rescue my sister. We can't let her suffer in that place any longer."

Just as Hirono Akemi revealed her true identity to Matsuda and begged him to rescue her sister,

At the same time in Tokyo, at a certain pharmaceutical experimental company,

When Shiho Miyano ingests APX4869, she transforms into a little girl.

And using their physical advantages, they escaped through the pipes.

After crawling out of the garbage heap, she suddenly felt lost.

Now that my sister has been killed by the organization, where in this vast world can I still find a place to belong?

......

Yesterday, when Matsuda left the warehouse, he made a promise with Conan that he would go to Professor Agasa's place tonight.

He told her in detail about Hirono Akemi, also known as Miyano Akemi.

But by the time he finally had some free time, it was already evening.

Matsuda, carrying an umbrella and a bag, walked towards Professor Agasa's house.

Then, his hands began to tremble, and his umbrella, bag, and everything else fell to the ground, leaving the rain to pelt him.

this......

Matsuda stared dumbfounded at the road ahead, where a white lab coat lay fallen.

Beneath the white coat was a girl of about seven years old with brown hair!

Haibara Ai?

No, it should still be Shiho Miyano!

What a coincidence! Shouldn't it have been Professor Agasa who found her?

Matsuda scratched his head in frustration, glanced at the sky, and wondered how long this heavy rain would last.

If Shiho Miyano is left to soak in the rainwater, she's bound to get sick!

Left with no other choice, Matsuda picked up Shiho Miyano and carried her to Professor Agasa's house.

"Ding-dong!" "Ding-dong!"

I rang the doorbell more than a dozen times, but there was no response from inside the house.

Not at home?

After thinking for a moment, Matsuda went next door to Shinichi Kudo's house.

Compared to Professor Agasa's side, at least there are some lights to see.

The two-story villa here is completely dark.

There's no need to think about it; you know there's definitely no one inside.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The little girl in his arms coughed twice. Matsuda reached out and touched her forehead; it was burning hot!

It was obvious that she had caught a cold from being soaked in the rain earlier.

Alright, I'll take you home first!

Matsuda sighed, hoping this wouldn't cause too much of a change in the timeline.

......

In Matsuda's apartment, after these days of rest and exercise,

Hoshino Terumi's ability to speak has already recovered to most extent.

Although occasionally, it won't suddenly utter a "meow".

But most of the time, things are still normal.

Although her language skills have almost fully recovered, she shows no intention of moving out.

Matsuda, of course, couldn't very well tell her to leave.

Tonight, Hoshino Terumi, knowing that Matsuda had something to do and couldn't come home early,

I'm watching TV alone, bored.

Suddenly, she heard the doorbell ring. As she got up and went to the door to open it,

The apartment door had been opened from the outside, and Matsuda looked at her with a forced smile.

"Are you still awake?"

"Um......"

Terumi Hoshino stared expressionlessly at the little girl in his arms.

"Officer Matsuda, as a detective in the Metropolitan Police Department, breaking the law knowingly will be severely punished!"

In the bedroom, Matsuda placed one hand on the little girl's forehead and the other on his own.

Hmm, the temperature seems to have dropped quite a bit. I hope I'm alright in this condition.

Just as Matsuda was thinking this, the bedroom door opened, and Hoshino Terumi walked in carrying a glass of water.

"This is cold medicine, give her some."

"Let's wait until she wakes up," Matsuda said, taking the things and putting them aside.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Hoshino Terumi looked at Matsuda suspiciously. "Even if you're cousins, it's a bit inconvenient for a grown man like you to take care of a little girl, isn't it?"

"Haha, no need, you've already changed her clothes, I can handle the rest by myself!"

Matsuda chuckled.

He was really startled when he bumped into Shiho Miyano on the roadside.

By the way, where did those damn Professor Agasa and Conan go?

Didn't you promise to wait for me at home today?

Although the appointment was for the daytime, it was already evening when I remembered it.

Chapter 244 I, Matsuda Jinpei, am also a member of the Black Organization!

"Okay then, feel free to call me if anything comes up tonight."

Hoshino Terumi stood at the door with her arms crossed, said something, gave Matsuda a warning glare, and then turned and walked out of the room.
