"I'm sorry, four kids, but in order to ensure our safe departure from Japan, I have no choice but to send you to hell!"

"No!" Yuan Tai cried out.

"I don't want to die! No..." Ayumi sobbed, her eyes red. "Officer Matsuda, please come and save us!"

“Officer Matsuda left earlier, how could he possibly come?” Mitsuhiko cried out with a mournful face.

hateful!

Conan struggled with the rope, but it wouldn't budge; he couldn't loosen it with the strength of a child.

Am I really going to die here?

They haven't found a single clue about the Black Organization! And Ran... Conan thought resentfully.

"Goodbye, four children!"

The mustachioed bandit made his final farewell just as he was about to pull the trigger.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal hitting the ground echoed through the building.

"Wait a minute!" the blond bandit hurriedly stopped his companion. "That sound... could it be gold coins? We're sure there are places we haven't searched yet!"

The three robbers regained their hope and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.

However, upon arrival, they were met with the dark muzzle of a gun.

"Oh!"

The robber with the gun, who had a mustache, was the first to be shot and fell to the ground.

The remaining two robbers immediately dared not resist and obediently raised their hands!

Who? Who's here?

The four kids all turned their gaze toward the direction from which the gunshot had rang out.

"Didn't I tell you guys before to come home early?"

Matsuda knocked out the other two robbers, took the gun from the man with the mustache, and then emerged from the darkness.

"Officer Matsuda!" the four kids exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Great! I knew Officer Matsuda was a hero and would come to save us!" Ayumi cheered excitedly.

Matsuda stepped forward and untied the ropes binding the four children.

"Hey, didn't you already decipher the code?"

Conan rubbed his wrists, which were uncomfortable from being tied too tightly, while staring at Matsuda and questioning him in a deep voice.

Before Matsuda could speak, the other three children had already spoken up for him.

"Conan, it was Officer Matsuda who saved us, how can you be so rude!" Ayumi said unhappily.

“Inspector Matsuda is our savior,” Mitsuhiko added. “Conan, your tone is too much!”

Genta, however, put his dissatisfaction into action. He punched Conan on the head.

"Boom!"

Damn it! Those three brats!

Conan covered his head, and under the intense gazes of the three men, he could only obediently lower his head and say, "Thank you for saving us, Officer Matsuda!"

Once Ayumi and the other two were satisfied, he couldn't wait to ask, "Officer Matsuda, did you already decipher the code?"

"No." Matsuda shook his head.

"Then how did you find this place?" Conan asked suspiciously.

“Look, follow those three.” Matsuda pointed to the three robbers lying on the ground. “When I encountered the four of you earlier, I noticed that these three guys were acting strangely.”

"So you made an excuse to leave, and then observed from the shadows?" Conan quickly made his guess.

“Yes,” Matsuda continued, “I saw the three of them following you, and I was worried, so I came over. Who knew that I would hear them talking about gold coins downstairs just now.”

"I immediately thought of the recent Italian robbery group, so I called Inspector Megure first, and then rushed over to rescue you."

"Oh right, what about the gold coins? Didn't they say there were 15000? That's a fortune of 600 million yen!" Matsuda looked around, his face full of greed.

"Stop looking, the gold coins aren't even here!" Conan said irritably.

"How do you know?" Matsuda asked tentatively. "Maybe someone took it beforehand?"

"Impossible!" Conan rolled his eyes. "When we came up here, the ground was covered in dust, but there wasn't a single footprint. It's obvious that no one has been here for a long time."

“That code was a complete fake!” Mitsuhiko chimed in. “Those three bandits just said that their leader must have pocketed all the gold coins and made up a fake code to fool them!”

Just then, the sharp sound of police sirens rang out outside the abandoned building.

"The police are here!" Genta shouted excitedly from the window.

"Officer Matsuda, if we don't find the gold coins, will you be punished?" The little girl Ayumi tugged at Matsuda's trouser leg and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Officer Matsuda won't be punished; he'll only get a commendation!" Conan explained to his three friends, "Officer Matsuda works in the First Investigation Division, and transnational theft groups like this are usually handled by the Metropolitan Police Department's Third and Fourth Divisions. They're also the ones who handle the search for the gold coins afterward; it has nothing to do with Officer Matsuda."

Chapter 11: My connection with Sato started very early.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Ayumi was still a little worried and looked up, waiting for Matsuda's answer.

"Don't worry, just like Conan said," Matsuda squatted down, smiled and patted Ayumi's head, "I will only be rewarded for this, and I will definitely not be punished."

"is it?"

Ayumi tilted her head, then suddenly peeked out and kissed Matsuda on the cheek.

"This is a reward for the great hero who saved Ayumi!"

Ayumi put her hands behind her back and said with a smile.

"Oh no! Ayumi's first kiss was... Officer Matsuda!" Mitsuhiko's eyes widened as he wailed.

"Does this mean I have no chance left?" Genta said, looking dejected.

Matsuda touched the spot on his face where he had been kissed, looking at the three real children with a wry smile.

Conan, standing to the side, glanced helplessly at his three friends.

Kids these days are so precocious!

Matsuda and Conan thought to themselves at the same time.

……

the next day,

Because of the successful arrest of the Italian robbery gang, the Metropolitan Police Department held a special press conference. Matsuda, as the biggest contributor to the success, was also called up.

Superintendent General Hakuba of the Metropolitan Police Department first gave a brief introduction to the case, and then proceeded to use standard official jargon.

The ability to catch criminals is the result of the efforts of all members of the Metropolitan Police Department.

In order to protect the safety of the people of Tokyo, all police officers will not let their guard down.

This is exactly the same as in my previous life. It seems that governments in every world are like this.

Thinking of this, Matsuda couldn't help but yawn, a gesture that immediately caught the attention of a reporter present.

"Superintendent General Whitehorse,"

A very beautiful reporter with blue cat-like eyes stood up.

"As far as we know, the remaining three members of the robbery gang were first discovered and arrested by Inspector Matsuda of the First Investigation Division."

The pretty female reporter glanced at Matsuda.

"Besides his outstanding contribution this time, Officer Matsuda also saved the lives of hundreds of people during the Ferris wheel explosion three years ago. I wonder if the Metropolitan Police Department has awarded him for that?"

"This one……"

Superintendent Whitehorse was clearly surprised that anyone would ask that question. He coughed lightly, and then...

"Actually, we were already preparing to promote and reward Officer Matsuda. After all, he is a hero of our Metropolitan Police Department. Everyone doesn't need to worry about that. Our Metropolitan Police Department will never mistreat those who have made contributions."

……

After the press conference, Matsuda had just returned to his office when Yumi came over.

"Not bad, Matsuda, you're about to get a promotion."

"Hmm." Matsuda couldn't help but yawn again.

"You idiot, didn't you hand over the Italian bandits to Section Three after you caught them last night?" Yumi asked curiously, "Why are you still so sleepy?"

"I can't help it, I'm too busy!" Matsuda shrugged helplessly.

He wasted most of the night trying to find a hiding place for all those gold coins.

"Here you go! I noticed you yawning during the press conference!"

Yumi smiled and suddenly took out a can of iced coffee from behind her and slapped it on Matsuda's face.

"hiss……"

Matsuda shivered from the cold, and his mind cleared up considerably in an instant.

"Thanks,"

He took the coffee and was about to drink it.

At that moment, Sato walked into the office and went straight to Matsuda's side.

"These are the cards I told you about the day before yesterday, those cards that someone sent to the hospital while you were unconscious."

Sato placed the card he was holding on Matsuda's table.

"However, none of these cards have names written on them, so we don't know who sent them."

"Thank you for keeping it safe for me."

After thanking him, Matsuda began to check each card one by one. Just as Sato had said, the cards did not have the sender's name on them.

"Damn it, wake up! Get up and fight me! Is your boxing failing you already?"
