Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

“This isn’t a date, Conan!” Koshimizu reached out and pinched Conan’s cheek. “You’re here to talk to Ms. Mizunashi about serious business.”

"He was probably talking to you about that detective competition, right?" Sato asked Rena Mizunashi.

“Yes, it’s the planner of Detective Koshien,” Rena Mizunashi nodded.

"Conan, did you hear that? Remember, you can't just use the word 'date' carelessly!"

Back in Chiba, Koshimizu knew that Conan was a very smart kid, and it was impossible for him not to know the meaning of a date.

Pretending to be stupid now is clearly an attempt to frame Matsuda.

Annoyed, Koshimizu deliberately pinched Conan's face twice more until it turned red before letting go.

Damn it!

Conan rubbed his aching cheek and looked at Matsuda with a frustrated expression.

Kid, you think you can fight me?

Matsuda looked smug.

Just now, after seeing Conan upon entering the cafe, Matsuda worried that another murder would occur there today.

That would attract Sato's attention, so shortly after meeting Conan, he sent Sato an email saying that he had arranged to meet with people from Nichiri TV to discuss the detective competition.

Matsuda originally only wanted to be prepared, but he didn't expect that while saving him, he would also trick Conan again.

Just then, Xiaolan ran into the coffee shop, panting.

"Sorry, Conan, the cash register at the cake shop was broken. I've been waiting for ages."

As Ran was speaking, she saw Eri Kisaki and immediately called out happily.

"Mom, you're here too? I've been waiting for you for a while."

After saying that, she looked at the chaotic coffee shop again and asked in confusion, "What happened here?"

damn!

It turns out that Xiaolan came to see her mother!

Conan's face instantly fell!

I wish I hadn't come today!

Not only did they get screwed over by that bastard Matsuda Jinpei, but they also offended Ran's mother!

Conan huddled in the booth, on the verge of tears.

When Eri saw her daughter, she was also furious.

"Ran, are you still with that brat Shinichi Kudo?! You're not allowed to see him again! That little rascal dared to say I have a bad temper and that I'm meddling in other people's business!"

Chapter 102 Who to Confess To?

Huh? Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.

She invited her mother out, only wanting to persuade her to reconcile with her father, never expecting that things would eventually involve Shinichi Kudo!

……

Conan slumped helplessly in his seat, while Ran was pulled aside by her mother for a lecture, mainly to advise her to stay away from that mediocre high school detective.

Meanwhile, Sato was also busy inspecting the site with Inspector Megure.

Although Matsuda had already caught the culprit, a detailed record of the crime scene was still necessary.

As for Koshimizu, Matsuda pulled her in front of Rena Mizunashi and repeated her idea of ​​being a detective in Koshien to Rena Mizunashi.

……

After Mizunashi Rena left, Matsuda looked at Sato, who was busy beside her, and secretly asked Koshimizu why her relationship with Sato had suddenly become so good.

Yue Shui chuckled dryly, too embarrassed to admit that she had been taught a lesson by Sato the night before.

The frantic screaming while driving really terrified her.

"Actually, I had a heart-to-heart talk with Miwako last night. She's a really nice person. We chatted for a while and became good friends."

"Really?" Matsuda asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you, senior! Hehe..." Yue Shui chuckled dryly.

"You two, you're not talking badly about me, are you?" Sato suddenly stepped out, staring at the two of them warily.

"No, I didn't!" Koshimizu jumped up and quickly stood up. "I'm going to help Inspector Megure."

After saying that, he ran away as if fleeing.

Matsuda saw Sato sitting in the spot where Koshimizu had just been and asked with some amusement, "What's going on? Why is she so afraid of you after only one night?"

"How would I know?" Sato snorted, seemingly a little thirsty.

She and Matsuda didn't bother arguing; she simply picked up Matsuda's cup and started drinking.

"By the way, why did Koshimizu come with you?" Matsuda asked, puzzled. "Why did you bring her along on a mission from the First Division?"

“You should ask yourself that question!” Sato said irritably. “That girl insisted on going to the First Division with me this morning. When we got there, she told everyone she met that she would be working as your assistant in the First Division in the future, and that you had already agreed to it.”

"Inspector Megure was overjoyed when he learned that she was originally a fairly well-known high school detective," Sato said helplessly. "He said that in the past, it was usually police officers who switched careers to become detectives, and this was the first time he had seen a detective willing to become a police officer."

"Inspector Megure has even promised that as long as Koshimizu passes the civil service exam in the future, he will definitely find someone to transfer her to the First Division."

"So that's how it is," Matsuda thought, glancing at Inspector Megure, who was standing in the middle of the coffee shop directing operations with a broad smile, and Koshimizu, who was bustling around nearby.

Inspector Megure has spent most of his life overshadowed by detectives. Although he and Yusaku Kudo are good friends, whenever a case arises, he, as a detective, is powerless to solve it and always has to rely on his friend for help. This feeling is obviously not pleasant.

Not to mention Shinichi Kudo, who emerged after Yusaku Kudo went abroad.

Now that Koshimizu, who was originally a detective, is willing to teach, it means that Megure has gained another talent in his ranks who can reason like Matsuda.

For Megure, who had spent most of his life relying on detective work to solve cases, this was naturally an extremely joyous occasion!

……

In the Metropolitan Police Department's First Division office, Sato went on a patrol with Megure. Since it was a very clear assault case, the renowned detective Matsuda naturally didn't take the case.

As for Koshimizu, in order to familiarize her with the work process of the detectives as soon as possible, Matsuda also sent her to the scene to help Megure and Sato.

Speaking of which, Yue Shui has been doing quite well in Section 1 these past two days. Although she is not a formal criminal police officer, after learning that she is a top student from Waseda University, the people in Section 1 have few objections to her being admitted to Section 1 in the future.

In addition, the Metropolitan Police Department's First Division is already predominantly male, and everyone was previously focused on Sato, but Matsuda snatched her away. Now that there's another beautiful girl, everyone is naturally happy about it.

Even many veteran criminal investigators, who were addressed as "Uncle Policeman" by Yue Shui, generously shared their years of experience in handling cases.

It can be said that although Koshimizu has not yet been admitted to the First Investigation Division, everyone in the division, from top to bottom, already considers her one of their own.

But with her arrival, Takagi seemed even more pitiful.

In the past, when Megure was handling cases, he always managed to get a chance to appear.

In the past two days, Megure has been taking Koshimizu with him wherever he goes, so Takagi hasn't even had the chance to do any manual labor.

"well,"

Takagi was listlessly slumped on the table when Yumi, who had slipped into the First Division office, saw him.

"What happened to Takagi? Did he also confess to that new girl and get rejected, and is he heartbroken now?"

Yumi stuffed an apple into Matsuda's mouth, then took one for herself, eating it as she asked a question.

"Miss Yumi, I didn't confess to Koshimizu. My heart only belongs to..."

Takagi hurriedly tried to explain, but the second half of his sentence was cut short by Matsuda's fierce gaze.

Takagi lay dejectedly on the table, not daring to utter another word.

"Confessing to Koshimizu? What's going on?" Matsuda asked, taking a bite of his apple.

"You do not know?"

Yumi exclaimed in surprise, "That girl is very popular with the young officers in the Metropolitan Police Department. I heard that quite a few people have confessed their feelings to her in the past two days."

"Unfortunately, all of these people were cruelly rejected, and some have even taken several days of sick leave because they were heartbroken," Yumi said cheerfully.

"Is there such a thing?"

Although Matsuda was surprised, he could still understand.

There are already many single detectives in the Metropolitan Police Department, and their work doesn't usually allow them to meet suitable girls.

Although Yue Shui has a tomboyish appearance, she has delicate and beautiful features and is definitely a great beauty.

In addition, her similar temperament to Sato attracted many of Sato's original admirers.

These guys knew it was impossible to steal Sato away from Matsuda, so they had no choice but to fall for someone else.

"By the way, do you know how that girl rejects people?" Yumi patted Matsuda on the shoulder and asked deliberately.

“How would I know? I’ve never confessed to her,” Matsuda said, chewing on his apple.

She said she already has someone she likes, and it's in the same class!

After Yumi finished speaking, she looked at Matsuda with her big, suspicious eyes.

"That girl likes to mention you wherever she goes. You wouldn't happen to be the person she likes, would you?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Matsuda nearly spat out the apple he was eating.

Yumi doesn't seem to care much about her work as a patrol officer.

But when it comes to catching someone in the act of adultery, they really have a keen sense of smell.

"Don't talk nonsense. She just sees me as a senior colleague, that's why she often mentions me," Matsuda quickly explained.

Chapter 103 Yumi, who is easily conquered

"Really?"

Yumi tilted her head, looking at Matsuda suspiciously.

"You better pray you're telling the truth. I've heard that people are already forming a support group for Yue Shui!"
