Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

"Roar……"

Marufujiro kept letting out miserable screams, but as the sounds grew weaker, it gradually fell silent.

“Mr. Marufujiro,” Matsuda said in a low voice, standing to the side, “the person who killed you has been arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department, and the person who cheated on you has also been killed by you. You can rest in peace.”

"Green Zombie Pill Fu Cilang has been detected and eliminated."

"Now, the merit reward will be issued. In addition to 5000 merit points, the host's physical attributes will also be enhanced to the level of a green zombie!"

With the system notification, Matsuda suddenly felt that all the soreness in his body after being thrown had disappeared!

and……

"Why do I suddenly feel like my whole body is full of power?"

Matsuda touched his body and found that in just a moment, the muscles all over his body had become several times more developed.

Matsuda's physique was good before, but only slightly better than the average person.

Now that he's been enhanced by the system, Matsuda is confident enough to compete with top bodybuilders in terms of muscle mass.

"The host's physical strength has been enhanced to the level of a green zombie, and its vitality has also reached the level of a green zombie."

"So, I've become invincible too?" Matsuda asked, his face beaming with delight.

"As long as the host does not suffer a fatal attack to the head or heart, the rest of the body can recover quickly no matter how severe the injury."

"Okay, it's not invincible, but it's not bad either."

Matsuda was quite satisfied. If he had been in good physical condition back then on the Ferris wheel, he probably wouldn't have had to lie there for three years.

Just then, a sharp police siren suddenly sounded in the distance.

Got it!

The commotion and the flames from the burning car must have caught the attention of the nearby residents, and someone called the police!

Matsuda looked at the messy scene and wondered what to do about it.

"By the way, should we cremate these two bodies? They were bitten by zombies, will they turn into zombies too?"

As Matsuda looked at the bodies of Mrs. Marufu and Dr. Hatano, he suddenly remembered something.

"No need. When Marufujiro bit them, they were just ordinary white zombies. People who were bitten to death by it will not become zombies."

The system provided Matsuda with a reassuring answer.

……

“Mr. Matsuda,” Inspector Megure asked, his face full of shock, “you mean, Mrs. Marufuku and Dr. Hatano stole Mr. Marufuku’s body?”

“Yes,” Matsuda nodded seriously. “Marujiro is dead. What use would his body be to anyone other than those he knew?”

"So I immediately suspected Mrs. Marufumi and Dr. Hatano. I returned to Marufumi's mansion to monitor their movements."

"Sure enough, even though I warned them not to go out casually, they still went out in the middle of the night under the pretext of having an affair."

"I think the reason why Mrs. Marufuku and Dr. Hatano stole the body might be that Mr. Marufuku had some illegal property that could not be inherited through normal procedures, or that the place where the money was stored required a special method to open."

"So the two of them wanted to get clues from Mr. Marufu's body, such as fingerprints or pupil iris."

"As for how the body was stolen, it must have been that Dr. Hatano hid it in the hearse when we left, taking advantage of our inattention."

"He timed it carefully, and once the car entered the tunnel, he used the tools he had prepared beforehand to pry open the rear door of the hearse, and then escaped into the flood discharge channel with the body."

"So the scene here is that they burned Marujiro's body to destroy evidence?"

Inspector Megure first nodded as if he suddenly understood, then his face darkened as he angrily said,

"Matsuda, I don't want to hear stories!"

“This isn’t a story,” Matsuda replied calmly. “This is my deduction, Inspector.”

"And over here," Inspector Megure pointed to the two corpses of a man and a woman lying not far apart on the ground, "how do you explain that they suddenly died together?"

Matsuda casually gave an answer: "It's probably because of something like unequal distribution of spoils."

"The fatal gash on Madam Maru's neck was probably caused by a shard of glass from Dr. Hatano's hand!"

"As for the wounds on Dr. Hatano's neck and wrists, I also found a bloodstained shard of glass on the ground in the park."

"It's already been sent to Denmi for analysis to see if it has Mrs. Marufu's fingerprints and whether it matches Dr. Hatano's wound..."

Chapter 45 This is what a real man is! What's so great about pretty boys?

"In addition to these, Dr. Hatano's skin flakes and bloodstains were also found on the soles of Mrs. Marufu's high heels, which also match the injuries on Dr. Hatano's face."

Matsuda continued,

"To put it simply, after the two disposed of Marujiro's body, they suddenly started arguing over the division of the spoils."

"Mrs. Maru made the first move, cutting Dr. Hatano's neck and wrist with glass,"

"And after being attacked, Dr. Hatano used a shard of glass to slash Mrs. Maru's neck,"

"During the struggle, their blood stained each other."

"During this time, Mrs. Marufu also kicked Dr. Hatano hard many times with her high-heeled feet."

"Then both of them collapsed and died from arterial blood loss?"

Inspector Megure was stunned by what he heard, his cheeks twitching uncontrollably.

At this moment, Denmi handed over the preliminary test report.

After quickly flipping through the document, Inspector Megure couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"...It seems that the facts are indeed as you deduced, Matsuda-kun."

Inspector Megure still felt that everything seemed too coincidental.

But everything before them, after being examined by Denmi, perfectly matched Matsuda's reasoning.

"These two are truly a disgrace!"

Inspector Megure sighed, looking constipated.

"First, Marufujiro died unexpectedly, and then they tried every means to steal his body. After burning the body, they actually killed each other!"

"Sigh, it's all because of the lure of money."

Matsuda also wore a deeply moved expression.

Secretly, he was also relieved.

To conceal the fact that Marujiro had turned into a corpse, Matsuda fabricated two locations.

Both Mrs. Marufu and Dr. Hatano died after being bitten on the neck and drained of their life essence by zombies.

To cover up the obvious punctures on their necks, Matsuda had the Ghost Knight cut open the punctures with broken glass, turning them into wounds from sharp objects.

Anyway, as long as the wound is big enough and festering enough, anything can be covered up.

As for the other deductions, they were just made up by Matsuda based on what he saw at the scene.

Fortunately, before they died, Mrs. Marufu and Dr. Hatano did indeed fight fiercely to hold each other back.

Otherwise, Matsuda would really have a hard time explaining how these two ended up dead here.

……

The next day, just as Matsuda arrived at his office, Yumi suddenly appeared out of nowhere again.

"Ta-da... I heard you and Miwako got involved in a case again during your holiday date?"

“Young Miss,” Matsuda said helplessly, “don’t you feel uncomfortable unless you make a sarcastic remark to me?”

He spent a whole day and night yesterday dealing with Marujiro's case, and didn't run into Yumi at all.

Who would have thought that I would be cornered by her as soon as I arrived at the office today?

"Don't you go to work every day?" Matsuda said irritably. "Why do you always come to our classroom?"

"Anyway, it's not patrol time yet,"

Yumi shook her head with a grin, then pulled Takagi's chair over and sat down next to Matsuda.

"By the way, where did you go yesterday? I looked for you all day, but you weren't there."

"Handling cases? Our department isn't as free as yours in the Ministry of Transport,"

Matsuda stretched and was about to yawn again.

Yumi suddenly placed her hand on his chest.

"Hey, if you touch me again, I'll yell 'molestation'!" Matsuda joked.

Wow, Matsuda!

Yumi, feeling the firm texture of the muscles in her hands, exclaimed in surprise.

"What did you eat? How come your muscles have gotten so developed all of a sudden?"

"How about that? This is the result of my workout during my vacation!"

Matsuda mimicked several poses often used by bodybuilders, his muscles bulging like rocks, instantly making Yumi's eyes sparkle, and she would occasionally shout out in surprise.

To be fair, the other detectives were quite lenient with Yumi, this lively and pretty girl.

After all, the classroom is a major area where women are scarce, and having a pretty girl making a ruckus adds a lot of energy to the office.

If it were Takagi shouting right now, he would probably be thrown out by these people immediately!

Matsuda and Yumi were just fooling around.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open.

Inspector Matsumoto walked in with a serious expression.

Yumi's smiling face instantly tensed up when she saw him.

"Shouldn't the Ministry of Transportation be on duty by now?" Inspector Matsumoto said coldly.

"Yes! I'll go right away!" Yumi saluted and ran off as if fleeing.

Just before leaving, she turned around and made a face at Inspector Matsumoto's back.
