Inspector Megure's eyes widened in disbelief.
Oh no, I had to come out for a while.
To think that Matsuda would develop such a hobby! How am I going to explain this to Sato when we get back?
Conan, who caused all of this, watched with satisfaction as everyone in the hall reacted.
Damn Matsuda, you always bully me!
I'll make you think about Xiaolan!
This time it's finally my turn to get my revenge!
……
Matsuda and the others waited outside. When they saw the door to the hall open, they immediately went to greet them.
"Is it all over?" Matsuda asked the two policemen who came out first.
"It's over!"
The two policemen quickened their pace, hurriedly gave a reply, and then quickly distanced themselves from Matsuda.
What's going on? Matsuda frowned.
At this moment, Xiaolan also came out.
When she saw Matsuda, her face was full of admiration.
"Officer Matsuda, you are truly courageous. I hope you won't care about what others think. You and Dr. Narumi will definitely have a happy ending!"
After saying that, she blushed and walked away with a smile.
Me and Narumi?
Matsuda was even more confused. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he had already guessed that Conan was definitely behind it.
Matsuda was about to rush into the hall to find Conan and get some answers,
Cheng Shi also came out under the escort of two policemen.
Upon seeing Matsuda, his face instantly turned red.
“Officer Matsuda,” Narumi said shyly, her head bowed, “if I really am… unfortunately, I can only disappoint you.”
"Officer Matsuda, you are a really good person. I believe you will definitely find your happiness in the future."
After leaving those words, Narumi, escorted by two strange-looking policemen, headed towards the dock.
Why are you giving me the "friend zone" card again?
Matsuda stared wide-eyed at the people around him, puzzled.
But everyone who makes eye contact with him quickly looks away.
Not far away, several women were watching Matsuda and whispering among themselves, then hugged each other while laughing and talking.
Holy crap, what did that bastard Conan do?
Matsuda clenched his fists inwardly.
……
Even after boarding the ship, Matsuda still didn't understand what was going on.
There was no way around it; whenever he got close, the men would quickly leave with a look of disgust, and the women would cover their mouths and remain silent with a strange smile.
Even Conan has disappeared.
In this state, where is he supposed to find out the truth?
Matsuda boarded the ship in a daze.
The ship sailed back to Tokyo overnight, and the police officers and the Mori family all stayed in the cabin to rest.
Inspector Megure hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind.
He absolutely could not watch his beloved general go astray!
"Um, Matsuda, I have something to do. Come outside with me!"
Out of consideration for Matsuda's feelings, Megure called him to the deck outside.
“Matsuda, I know Asano Minami is indeed very cute, but this…”
Megure stood there for a long time, his mouth agape, completely unsure how to proceed.
"He is indeed very cute, I know that. What's wrong, Inspector?" Matsuda said through gritted teeth. "Did that little rascal Conan say something to you? Why have you all been looking at me so strangely ever since before?"
"Conan said something along the lines of, 'You once praised Narumi for being very special and cute!'" Inspector Megure asked, "Did you say that?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I said. Is there a problem?" Matsuda asked, puzzled.
"Brother Matsuda!"
Inspector Megure suddenly slammed his fist on the deck railing; he was going all out!
"Think about Sato from the first division. How can you do this to her?"
"I just complimented Narumi on how cute she is. Sato wouldn't be that petty, would he?" Matsuda asked, looking puzzled.
"The problem is, you're praising Narumi!" Inspector Megure shouted, his eyes wide. "That's a man!"
“I know,” Matsuda nodded.
"You!" Inspector Megure gasped. "Matsuda, Narumi may be cute, but he's a man. You're still young; you absolutely can't go astray!"
"How am I supposed to explain this to Sato if I go back like this!"
"Inspector, are you all mistaken?" Matsuda said, both amused and exasperated. "I was just praising his cute appearance, I didn't have any other intentions, why do you all think I'm gay?"
"You really don't have any other thoughts?" Inspector Megure asked to confirm.
"Inspector! I'm a total straight man!" Matsuda said irritably. "I like women! Women!"
At this point, he glared at the people who were peeking out of the cabin to watch the commotion.
Most of the characters are police officers from the First Division, along with Kogoro Mouri and his beloved daughter.
Upon hearing Matsuda's words, the police officers and Kogoro Mouri burst into laughter, while Ran looked somewhat disappointed: "So it was just a misunderstanding..."
"Hahaha……"
At that moment, Conan's laughter also rang out on the deck.
That little rascal! He did it on purpose!
Matsuda clenched his fists and quickly followed the sound to find Conan's hiding place.
No wonder Matsuda couldn't find him from the beginning.
This kid actually took advantage of his short stature and hid in a wooden box on the deck!
Chapter 24 Sato: Me or Narumi, who's cuter?
"Boom!"
Matsuda headbutted Conan, but still wasn't satisfied and wanted to hit him again, but Conan had already climbed out of the wooden box.
The two then started playing a game of cat and mouse on the deck.
At that moment, the policeman guarding Chengshi suddenly rushed onto the deck in a panic.
"Inspector, something terrible has happened! Suspect Asahi Masaru has disappeared!"
"What happened? How could someone disappear?!" Inspector Megure grabbed his subordinate by the collar.
"We don't know either. We've searched the entire cabin, but we can't find him anywhere!"
what?
Narumi has disappeared?
Matsuda and Conan were both stunned.
"Kid, are you sure Narumi got on the ship too?" Matsuda swallowed.
"Ah."
Conan nodded blankly.
They had already boarded the ship, but then suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Narumi is not a child like Conan who can just hide in any box.
Considering that he had prepared gasoline beforehand, intending to commit suicide!
Could it be... that their gazes simultaneously turned to the sea?
"Stop the boat immediately!"
……
The next morning,
Xiao Lan leaned on the deck railing, looking out to sea and calling out, "Dad, how is it?"
"No, we still haven't found it."
Kogoro Mouri, wearing a diving suit, was pulled up by two police officers using ropes.
After he changed out of his wetsuit, a police officer immediately took it from him, put it back on, and jumped back into the sea.
"What about Officer Matsuda? How's he doing?"
Maori, wrapped in a thick blanket, asked while shivering as he drank hot tea.
"Officer Matsuda hasn't come up yet," Ran said, her face full of worry.
"That's ridiculous! The seawater is so cold in the morning; staying there for several hours will definitely cause an accident!"
Mori put down his teacup and was about to go find Megure to ask him to find a way to get Matsuda up here.
At that moment, the police officer by the railing suddenly shouted.
"It's Officer Matsuda! He's found Asano Minoru!"
