Chapter 911 The Real Matsumoto Kiyonaga: I've Found My Old Self

As expected...................................

Matsumoto Kiyonaga sighed inwardly...

My other self is indeed very righteous and has a strong sense of justice, and a personality that hates evil as if it were its enemy...

Originally, I was just talking to him about some everyday trivial things, and he simply ignored me....................................

Now, whenever I mention anything about the case, he instantly becomes restless and wants to come out and take a look...

Matsumoto Kiyonaga then recalled the previous incident, the airship incident, where his second personality also appeared suddenly, and he hadn't even had a chance to react before the matter was resolved...................................

Um...............................

Matsumoto Kiyonaga had some guesses in his mind............................

He probably already knows why the second personality appeared...

perhaps............................

It's probably a subconscious act of self-redemption...

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at his hands, and for a moment, he was filled with emotion...

Looking back more than thirty years ago, I was a greenhorn criminal police officer. Every time I handled a case, I felt completely lost, but I still pushed myself forward with sheer grit, racking my brains to solve it...

Even back then, while trying to arrest a murderer, he slashed his face severely...

Today, that scar remains on his face, a badge of honor for his service as a Metropolitan Police Department officer.............................................

But looking back, it seems that over the past thirty years, I have...

Things have changed...............................

I don't know when it started, but whenever I encounter a case, all I think about is solving it as quickly as possible, regardless of the outcome...

And without realizing it, I went from being that young man who couldn't bear to let go of the case files once I got my hands on them, to a retired cadre who spends his free time sitting in his office drinking tea...

Back in the day, I was also a heroic police officer who wouldn't leave the front lines even with minor injuries!

Matsumoto Kiyonaga thought to himself with mixed feelings...

Since stepping away from frontline criminal cases, I've become increasingly...

I'm not the same person I was back then......................................

Until last time, I was promoted by sheer luck and inexplicably became the head of the First Investigation Division...................................

Later, because he took the blame for Chief Toshiro Odagiri, he was demoted to the Second Investigation Division.....................................

Was I really wronged when I was demoted last time?

Now, having adjusted his mindset, Matsumoto Kiyonaga is unconsciously asking himself questions little by little...

Although I'm not the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, I am still the supervising officer of the First Investigation Division...

The investigation of the First Division and its three departments falls right under my jurisdiction.....................................

In criminal cases within the police stations under the Metropolitan Police Department, some responsibility is attributed to their own actions...................................

Whether it was the incident with that girl Minako three years ago, or the incident with Nino Yasushi a year ago, I really...................................

Doesn't he bear any responsibility at all?

If I could be like I was in my youth, never leaving the front lines even with minor injuries, and investigating every death case to the very end...

Perhaps, that lovely girl wouldn't have been wrongly imprisoned for three years, forcing a dedicated teacher to sacrifice his life to punish those villains...................................

Perhaps the truth about Nino Yasushi's case from a year ago has already been revealed, and he won't have been blamed at all...

Now it seems that everything was just....................................

He only has himself to blame...

Matsumoto Kiyonaga gave a bitter laugh to himself.

But he really couldn't do it...........................

He's getting old, and both his physical condition and mental state are not what they used to be...

He truly couldn't do it anymore, couldn't be like that greenhorn policeman he was over thirty years ago, full of passion and enthusiasm...

Perhaps, it is precisely for this reason that a second self is born.................................

He was exceptionally capable, hated evil, and was full of passion. He couldn't resist getting involved in any case he saw; he was simply........................................

Just like myself when I was young.........................................

This case, with only a week to process, is probably beyond my capabilities to handle on my own.

Hopefully, my second self can do that...

Deep down, Kiyoshi Matsumoto had already prepared an excuse for himself...................................

Then, he pushed open the door to the room and prepared to leave...

Although the second self had already taken care of what happened during the day, now that he was awake, he couldn't just do nothing and go back to sleep...

Letting others do the work while he watches from behind is not Matsumoto Kiyonaga's style.

So, Matsumoto Kiyoshi strode out of his house, got into the car that Lin Jiayou had already used all day, and drove towards the Metropolitan Police Department...................................

.................................................. ..

Ten minutes later, Matsumoto Kiyonaga arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department.................................

Originally, his home was about a 20-minute drive to half an hour from the Metropolitan Police Department, but by speeding along the way, he arrived in just over ten minutes...

Matsumoto Kiyonaga desperately wanted to know what his other self had done that day...............................

Has anyone noticed anything amiss about him?

Previously, on the airship, even if their personalities clashed, there wouldn't be any problems, since Nakamori Ginzo and the other members of the Second Investigation Division weren't familiar with him...................................

But this time, it's different..............................

Megure and the others were all his old subordinates; if he paid close attention, he might actually be able to spot something different...

Although it's clear that nothing's wrong, and I can explain it myself, I have a clear conscience...

However, I already promised before that I wouldn't drink what others said, so.............................

Wouldn't I feel like I'm letting my alternate personality down...?

Lost in thought, Matsumoto Kiyonaga strode into the Metropolitan Police Department and headed to his familiar floor...

"Manager Matsumoto!"

Just as Matsumoto Kiyoshi was about to return to his office to review today's documents...

A voice called out to him from behind...

He turned his head and glanced at it...

"White bird?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga was somewhat puzzled.

Although Shiratori Ninzaburo was usually under his command, Shiratori was a professional, whose status was far higher than his own...

However, Shiratori Ninzaburo seems to be somewhat..........................

excited?

And with a hint of... gratitude?

What's going on here.....................................
