Metropolitan Police Department, First Division.
"He probably didn't see it, right?" Matsuda asked the system.
“Ordinary people don’t have spiritual vision, so they can’t see or hear those things,” the system replied.
"That's good."
Matsuda felt relieved and continued doing what he had been wanting to do.
"Summon Ghost Knight Squire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black wind swept up from the ground, and the lights overhead dimmed considerably in an instant.
The entire corridor instantly became somewhat eerie.
That was a really cool entrance!
Matsuda's eyes lit up, and he became even more excited.
Chapter 14 Takagi Has Gone Mad
Amidst the swirling black wind, a figure clad in knight's armor gradually took shape.
Its entire body was covered in jet-black knight's armor, and the only part of its face that was exposed was like a black mist, constantly changing.
"Bang!"
After the figure took shape, it knelt down on one knee in front of Matsuda, and then remained motionless.
"Can't you say anything? At least say something like, 'You are my master,'" Matsuda retorted.
The figure remained motionless.
"How do I control this guy?" Matsuda asked the system.
"Just give the command directly. It has its own thinking and will find a way to complete your command."
"I don't seem to be in any immediate danger." Matsuda thought for a moment, "Alright, you can stay hidden around me and protect me for now."
The Ghost Knight nodded silently, then vanished into black mist.
With the matter resolved, Matsuda put the fire axe back in its place and returned to the office on duty.
after an hour.
"By the way, why isn't Takagi back yet?"
Matsuda rubbed his stomach. Swinging the fire axe a few times had really taken a toll on his energy, and he was now quite hungry.
……
"How dare you skip your date with Sato, Matsuda!"
The next morning, Yumi started shouting as soon as she walked into the office.
"What?! Miwako's date?!" The group of police officers immediately looked up on alert.
However, upon hearing that it was Matsuda, they all sighed and lowered their heads.
Back then, Matsuda went into the Ferris wheel alone to defuse the bomb, and later sacrificed himself to obtain the specific address of the hospital. These police officers all admired him greatly.
Although they still felt a pang of sadness that Matsuda had snatched the Metropolitan Police Department's beauty queen, most people had accepted the fact.
Except for a very few individuals, such as Shiratori.
He immediately seized the opportunity to kick someone when they were down: "What? Matsuda stood Sato up last night? Did he go on a date with another woman?"
"I said Inspector Shiratori, please turn around and look at the duty roster on the wall behind you," Matsuda said lazily.
"Damn it..." Shiratori angrily slammed his fist on the wall.
"Yumi, don't talk nonsense!" Sato also tugged at his friend. "Matsuda didn't go because he was on duty last night."
"Strange?" Yumi looked around, as if searching for something.
"What's wrong?" Sato asked curiously.
"Normally, whenever Miwako is mentioned, there should be at least one other person who gets nervous, right?"
Yumi thought for a moment, then suddenly walked to a desk.
That was Takagi's table, and he was tearing paper while muttering to himself.
"I've gone mad, Officer Matsuda has gone mad, I've gone mad, Matsuda..."
"Bang!" Yumi slammed her hand on the table.
"Hey, Takagi, Matsuda invited Miwako on a date last night, you know? Don't you have any thoughts about it?"
"Huh? What?" Takagi paused, staring blankly at Yumi, then noticed the shredded paper on the table.
"Oh no, I've forgotten where I was counting!"
After saying that, he took out another piece of paper and tore off a strip.
"I'm mad."
Another strip was torn off.
"Officer Matsuda has gone mad."
……
"What's wrong with him?" Yumi nudged Matsuda. "Why is he acting so strangely?"
"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night," Matsuda chuckled dryly.
He didn't expect what happened last night to affect Takagi so much. He finally managed to buy some late-night snacks and then kept muttering to himself.
"Alright, Takagi, drink this water and go back to sleep!"
Matsuda poured a glass of water, added some calming powder he had obtained from the system, and placed it on the tall wooden table.
"Thank you, Officer Matsuda!"
Takagi hurriedly stood up, eagerly picked up the cup, and took a sip.
"Ah, hot, hot..."
Yumi's lips twitched slightly as she watched Takagi frantically trying to do something.
"Can he really keep working in the same department like this?"
"Don't worry, Takagi is reliable most of the time," Sato said nonchalantly.
"What about Matsuda?" Yumi asked deliberately.
“He’s always reliable, okay?” Sato glared at his friend, annoyed.
"Alright, now that you're here, I should go back and rest."
Matsuda yawned, put on his coat, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, Matsuda, don't forget what day it is tomorrow!" Yumi whispered a reminder.
"Tomorrow?" Matsuda took out his phone, puzzled, and flipped to the calendar. "Valentine's Day?"
……
Back in his apartment, Matsuda fell asleep immediately, only to be woken up by his phone ringing in the afternoon.
"Hey?"
"Matsuda, come quick! There's been an explosion on the Shinkansen!" It was Megure's voice.
"Inspector, I was on duty last night, and I should be off today," Matsuda said helplessly.
"Matsuda, this is the Shinkansen! We've already found one bomb, but who knows if there's a second one!" Inspector Megure's voice was filled with anxiety. "If another explosion happens, the entire First Division will be wiped out!"
"...Okay, I'll be right there." Matsuda sighed and quickly got dressed.
As soon as he arrived at the scene, he saw the familiar Mori family and three kids.
"What exactly happened?" Matsuda asked.
"Officer Matsuda, this is what happened..."
Xiaolan recounted the whole story clearly.
"Inspector Megure, wasn't this already resolved?" Matsuda complained. "That brat found the bomb, and all the suspects have been caught. What did he call me here for?"
“Alright, check the train one more time,” Inspector Megure wiped the sweat from his brow. “Matsuda, you’re an expert on bombs. We can only feel at ease after you’ve checked it.”
Yeah, I almost got blown up by a bomb right after I transmigrated! I'm definitely a professional at dealing with bombs... Matsuda muttered to himself.
Despite his words, he was very serious about his work and quickly checked the train from front to back.
"Alright, don't worry, Inspector, there's absolutely no second bomb on this train," Matsuda assured him, patting his chest.
"That's good." Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief.
Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri, who were standing nearby, also relaxed.
"Tch, I told you there wasn't any..." Conan muttered discontentedly.
"By the way, kid," Matsuda teased deliberately, "I heard you were the one who found the bomb?"
“Officer Matsuda, it really was the bomb that Conan found,” Ayumi said first.
"You know a lot, huh? You even managed to spot the bomb?" Matsuda looked at Conan, his tone suggestive.
What happened...
Conan's heart immediately tightened; this policeman in front of him was no fool like Uncle Mori.
If I say something wrong, it will probably arouse his suspicion immediately.
Chapter 15 Damn it! I knocked my uncle out again for nothing!
"Actually, it's all luck..." Conan scratched his head, a naive and adorable smile on his face.
"Nonsense, it's not luck!" someone suddenly shouted in denial.
