Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

The gatekeeper sensed his sarcasm and simply snorted coldly!

The police officer standing nearby, Takeshita, was honest and didn't realize the problem. He thought Matsuda was genuinely thanking them and hurriedly explained.

"Even if it wasn't us, with such a large mudslide and landslide happening here, other passing vehicles would definitely have called the police."

There are still more honest people than not; Matsuda recognized him as the first person to peek into the car earlier.

The young man shouted with joy when he saw that Matsuda was alive.

"In any case, you guys saved our lives this time."

Matsuda spoke the truth this time; kindness is kindness, and resentment is resentment, he has always made a clear distinction between the two.

Anyway, his target in the Lavender Villa case was that high school detective.

Considering today's rescue efforts, we'll try to further downplay the influence of the Kochi Police Headquarters in the case later.

However, some people still need to stand out. Matsuda glanced at Inspector Daimon, who had a gloomy face.

Knowing full well that a wrongful conviction had been committed, he, like that high school detective, tried to cover it up.

This kind of person doesn't deserve to be a police officer at all!

Inside the car, Koshimizu, who had put on Hiroki Tsuchio's jacket, said in a low voice.

"Senior, I'm all better!"

Matsuda stepped aside from the windshield, reached inside, and pulled Koshimi out.

Chapter 89 Can a single sentence, "I never expected it," really save a life?

"Quickly! Seize this thief!"

As soon as Inspector Daimon saw Koshimizu, wearing a hood, emerge from the Mercedes, he immediately gave the order.

"Inspector Daimon, I'm afraid this order is inappropriate."

Matsuda stood in front of Koshimizu, smiling and waving his hand.

"Hmph, Hiroo Tsuchio has committed several thefts in Kochi. It's perfectly reasonable and legal for us Kochi police to arrest him!"

During the rescue of the red Mercedes, Inspector Daimon's other subordinates had already ascertained Hiroki Tsuchio's identity.

"You Tokyo detectives shouldn't be interfering with our investigation! Don't forget, this is Kochi, this is Shikoku, not Tokyo!"

After Inspector Damon finished speaking, he glared at his two subordinates.

"Idiots! Why aren't you two doing anything?!"

"Yes!"

Takeshita and Arai quickly responded and hurriedly took out handcuffs and came over.

Seeing Matsuda and "Tsuchio Hiroki" surrounded by his men, Inspector Daimon couldn't help but smile with a sense of victory.

"Officer Matsuda, you..."

Takeshita wanted to persuade Matsuda to move aside, but Arai, who was standing nearby, had already noticed that something was wrong.

He pointed at Koshimizu and exclaimed in surprise, "Who are you? You're not Tsuchio Hiroki!"

"What?" Inspector Daimon's smile froze instantly.

"I'm also a bit confused. If Inspector Daimon wants to arrest Hiroki Tsuchio, why is he looking for a girl like me?"

Yue Shui looked up and pulled down the hood of her coat.

“You…” Da Men and his two subordinates were stunned.

"How could it be you, female detective? Where is Hiroki Tsuchio?!"

The police inspector shoved his subordinate aside, lunged at the hood of the Mercedes, and peered through the windshield.

Matsuda noticed that Koshimizu's hair was a bit disheveled, so he reached out to tidy it up for her while saying to the gate, "Don't bother looking, Inspector Daimon. There are only Koshimizu and me in the car."

"Senior, turn around!"

Koshimizu nudged Matsuda, and once he turned his back to her, the girl carefully untied the clothes she had tied earlier.

"Strange, why are there only two small wounds even though there's blood everywhere?"

After carefully examining the area, Yue Shui looked puzzled.

Matsuda naturally knew what was going on; his body had been enhanced by the system to the level of a green zombie.

Minor wounds usually heal on their own in a short time.

However, this is something that is obviously not something that can be told to Yue Shui.

"My back wasn't seriously injured to begin with. The blood I saw earlier was probably just seeping out from one or two small wounds," Matsuda said casually.

"But these two wounds aren't that big, so why are they bleeding so much?"

Although Koshimizu was puzzled, the fact that she was certain Matsuda hadn't suffered serious injuries was undoubtedly what made her happiest.

"Senior, when you get to Kochi, you should still go to the hospital for a check-up. It wouldn't be good if there were any hidden injuries inside your body..." Yue Shui reminded him worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Matsuda smiled confidently.

He has a system, and if there's a real problem with his body, the system will definitely pop up a warning.

Takeshita and Arai watched as their boss bent over, trying to find another person in the car.

Meanwhile, the famous detective from Tokyo was flirting with a pretty girl. Is this the difference between a Tokyo detective and a rural detective?

Matsuda reassured Koshimizu, telling her not to worry about her health, and then looked at the door where the upper body had been leaning into the Mercedes-Benz, but there had been no movement for a long time.

"So, Inspector Daimon, have you found the person you're looking for?"

"You...you tricked me!" The man climbed out of the Mercedes with a livid face.

"Hiroshi Tsuchio is still in that black Honda from before."

After all, Da Men was a veteran detective. After a moment of stunned silence, he figured out the whole story.

"Immediately contact the others and block all roads leading out of Kochi..." the gatekeeper urged his two subordinates.

“Give up, Inspector Daimon,” Matsuda checked the time on Koshimizu’s phone. “It’s been more than three hours, almost four hours. Tsuchio Hiroki has already left Kochi, and may even be on a plane to Tokyo. You’re too late!”

"Matsuda Jinpei! Are you really going to destroy me?!"

Inspector Daimon, his face contorted with rage, reached out to grab Matsuda by the collar.

But as soon as he reached out his hand, Matsuda grabbed his arm, threw him to the ground, and pressed him firmly to the ground.

Takeshita wanted to come over to help, but Arai held him back tightly.

"Don't move. This is not something we can interfere with now," Arai whispered to his friend.

Ignoring them, Koshimizu walked to the gatekeeper, who was pinned to the ground by Matsuda, took a photo from her pocket, and held it up to the gate.

"You say we ruined you? Then what about this girl? Who ruined her?"

"Mizuguchi Kana..."

Looking at the photo of the girl in a maid outfit, smiling radiantly as she stood at the entrance of the lavender villa,

He was stunned when he saw that he also had a daughter.

The fierce look on his face finally faded, and Inspector Daimon, with his eyes closed, let out a long sigh.

"We never expected that she would..."

"You drove a living, breathing person to their death. Do you think you can make up for it by simply saying you didn't expect it?"

Yue Shui's eyes were red, and the photo in her hand was wrinkled from being squeezed so tightly by her emotions.

"I'm sorry, but at that time, we really thought Ms. Mizuguchi Kana was the murderer!"

Takeshita broke free from his friend Arai's restraints and rushed to Koshimizu's side. He knelt down directly in front of the photo of Mizuguchi Kana in her hand.

"After the detective told us his reasoning, all of us, including the now-deceased Oshima and Matsushita, felt that his reasoning was correct."

"At that time, we were determined to find the murderer who killed Miss Chang Zeng, which is why we did that."

"...It was our negligence that prevented us from noticing anything unusual!"

As Takeshita finished speaking, he pressed his head to the ground with a face full of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Kana Mizuguchi."

Seeing his friend's actions, Arai walked over and, imitating him, knelt down in front of the photo in Koshimizu's hand.

"Inspector Daimon, your two men have already realized their mistakes, what about you?"

Matsuda stood to the side, his face cold, and said...

“Those of us in this line of work should all be well aware of the importance of evidence to a case and to the criminal. Before you've even investigated the evidence, you're ordering your subordinates to interrogate Kana based solely on a high school student's reasoning. Don't you think that's ridiculous?”

"...Looking back now, it's truly laughable that I would have listened to a high school kid."

A bitter smile appeared on the door's face.

"Believe it or not, when that detective presented his reasoning, I genuinely believed that another murderer had been caught and justice could be served for the deceased."

Chapter 90 The Vengeful Spirit of Kana Mizuguchi

"That's what I was thinking at the time, that's why..." Da Men closed his eyes in regret.

"Besides that, you must also be thinking about promotion," Matsuda said coldly. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to ask your detectives to find out the truth within a limited time."

"If you hadn't been urging them on from behind, those two detectives wouldn't have kept interrogating Kana Mizuguchi!"

“That’s right. At that time, the Shikoku Police Agency was indeed assessing the Kochi Prefectural Police Headquarters. Kochi’s crime-solving rate has always been low. If I could solve a murder case, my rank could indeed be promoted one level.”

The gate police department shouted unwillingly,

"But was I wrong? I did want a promotion! But I also really wanted to find out the truth behind Ms. Chang Zeng's suicide!"

Just as the gatekeeper admitted that his urging to solve the case was indeed motivated by a desire for his own promotion,

Matsuda suddenly felt the surrounding yin energy become much denser.

He looked up and around, and soon spotted a girl, soaking wet and deathly pale, under a pine tree not far away.
