Chapter 34(1/2)
"Matsuda, what is your relationship with that female police officer?"
After saying this, the first person who felt that something was wrong was Toru Amuro himself who asked this question.
Matsuda Jinpei already knew that he was conducting a secret mission, and now that he was so concerned about Furukawa Kumisa, in Matsuda Jinpei's eyes, maybe Furukawa Kumisa would also be related to his mission.
If Matsuda Jinpei realizes her identity, big problems will arise.
Toru Amuro doesn't care whether Furukawa Kumisa is exposed in the storm, but he cares about the consequences if Furukawa Kumisa is exposed.
Sure enough, after Matsuda Jinpei heard these words, the sleepiness on his face disappeared, and his eyes became alert.
He glanced at Furukawa Kumisa who was busy fishing for plastic bags with the police at the river embankment in the distance. When he spoke to Amuro Toru, his voice lowered a bit.
"Furukawa...is there anything wrong?"
In the flash of lightning, Toru Amuro ran through thousands of ways to deal with it in his mind, but he rejected them all - he knew Matsuda Jinpei, and normal excuses could not hide it from him.
It seems that we can only...
Toru Amuro took a deep breath, and the expression on her face became more serious: "Matsuda, I received a commission. The client had met a young lady several times... He had a crush on her, but he didn't know about the young lady.
Name and contact information, so I was found.
"According to my investigation over the past few days, the young lady the client fell in love with at first sight is probably this Officer Furukawa."
Matsuda Jinpei was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually became stained with a look that was hard to describe, like "there are so many bad things that I don't know where to mention them."
It sounds outrageous, but it is precisely because of this that it is more credible when it comes from Jiang Guling's mouth - after all, if he wants to perfunctory himself, he should use a more convincing excuse.
Amuro looked stern, with an attitude that was very considerate of his client: "Since I have accepted this commission, I also have the obligation to find out for the client whether the person he is attracted to is already known and married, so that in the end,
Report to him.
"So, Matsuda, what is your relationship with Officer Furukawa?"
Matsuda Jinping paused again and again, slowly and slowly, and finally spoke slowly: "Feng Gu."
He looked at his friend seriously.
"The client you are talking about...is it yourself?"
Toru Amuro: ...I don’t know what to say at this time, so why not just give me an awkward yet polite smile.
Matsuda Jinpei choked up when he saw the bewildered smile on Fangtani Rei's face.
——No one can get the answer from Fangtani Rei to the questions he wants to avoid by pretending to be stupid.
Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his eyebrows: "...don't worry, she and I... are not the kind of relationship you think of yet."
Matsuda Jinpei and "Furukawa Kumisa" really don't have that kind of relationship.
Fukitani Rei immediately grasped the key point of Matsuda Jinping's words: "Not now?"
Matsuda Jinpei glanced at him sideways: "This is a strict statement. What, you still want me to guarantee you in the future?"
Although Feng Guling wanted to answer "yes", he also knew that it was not good to be so aggressive, so he could only keep silent.
"Not yet"...that's okay, at least it's not the worst case scenario.
Matsuda Jinpei looked at Fangtani Rei's slightly complicated expression and sighed slightly: "Fangtani, although I don't know your current specific job, I can roughly guess what you are doing... Allow me to say more,
Your current status is not suitable for considering... these things."
Just because the other party was his good friend, Matsuda Jinpei thought for a while and spoke frankly.
"Furukawa is a good girl. If you really think about her, wait until you have dealt with everything and can stand upright in front of her before talking about this."
Rei Fukiya finally understood how Matsuda Jinpei felt when he heard that he was making up lies.
This guy Matsuda is also hopeless with Natafi's filter, good girl? A good girl who kills without blinking an eye?
Standing upright in front of her... The day he stood upright in front of Natafi as "Feng Gu Ling" was the day he sent her to prison.
But he can't tell Matsuda Jinpei this now.
Fenggu Ling could only respond vaguely: "...I understand."
On the other side, Furukawa Kumisa was squatting on the river bank, watching the police officers waving long poles and trying to fish out the plastic bags floating in the middle of the river.
"This won't work," Kumisa Furukawa looked at the distance, "It's probably impossible to fish it out with just tools. Please contact the headquarters to send a boat."
Among the police officers who arrived this morning, only she and Matsuda Jinpei had the title of replacement in the police department. What she said was more or less useful. There were already young police officers nearby who stopped their work and started talking on the phone.
While she was giving instructions, Toru Amuro and Jinpei Matsuda had finished their secret conversation and walked towards the river.
Toru Amuro, an enthusiastic passer-by, was taking out his mobile phone and making a call. Furukawa Kumisa heard something and probably called Mouri Kogoro.
And Matsuda Jinpei...Matsuda Jinpei walked to and stood behind Furukawa Kumisa.
"Um, Furukawa..."
Furukawa Kumisa turned back somewhat puzzled.
"...Do you like stronger men?"
Furukawa Kumisa:...Huh?
"If a good-looking... um, good-looking figure, and a very... ahem, healthy, adult man shows his affection for you... will you agree to it?"
Furukawa Kumisa didn't know who she or Matsuda Jinpei was because she stayed up all night and suffered from brain damage - or maybe both of them were suffering from it. She actually seriously thought about Matsuda Jinpei's hypothetical situation, except that she didn't quite understand it.
"The complexion looks very healthy" is another way to describe it...
"I will refuse."
She answered decisively and without hesitation.
Just when Matsuda Jinpei wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her voice speak again: "I am a staunch celibate."
Matsuda Jinpei's tone was so relaxed that he almost choked: "...But you are obviously very interested in handsome guys."
Furukawa Kumisa raised his eyebrows: "Everyone has a love for beauty. I like to see handsome men and beautiful women. The essence is that I like to appreciate good-looking people... and things, but it does not mean that I want to be with them."
Although she has become somewhat free in this world, it does not mean that she will really be with those who are not the targets of the attack.
After all, she still has a mission to conquer. Although she and Rei Furitan only communicate through mobile phones now, there is no guarantee that they will meet in the future. If she finds a partner other than the mission to fall in love now, the risk is too high.
She still has this point.
So Furukawa Kumisa said righteously and solemnly: "Man, it will only affect the progress of my work!"
Furukawa Kumisa's job: to brush up Rei Furuya's favor.
The job that Jinpei Matsuda thought of: the job of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Tohru Amuro, who had just made a phone call and passed by them, heard about it and thought it was the task of the organization.
Matsuda Jinpei let out a long sigh: "...You don't have to love work so much."
Toru Amuro looked at the emotion on his friend's face, knowing that in his eyes Furukawa Kumisa's filter buff had gained another level, and silently swallowed all his words.
...Forget it, just be happy.
After struggling for half an hour, the Metropolitan Police finally dispatched a boat to salvage the plastic bags from the river.
Three people on the river bank approached and opened the bag.
At that moment, the atmosphere by the river changed from a romantic comedy to a serious detective drama.
The unpleasant smell hit her nostrils. Looking at the corpses laid out in the plastic bags, Furukawa Kumisa felt her stomach churning - she was still fine. The moment the plastic bag was opened, some young police officers around her
Some people could not help but cover their mouths and vomit.
Even the well-informed Matsuda Jinpei and Amuro Toru changed their expressions suddenly after seeing this.
It was a naked female body. Her pale skin was covered with bruises, and there was almost no intact skin. There were still coagulated blood stains on the many bruises, and the red and white liquid almost covered her body.
His whole body had obviously been treated inhumanely before his death.
——That was a tortured|murdered corpse.
Even the Investigating Section, who deal with murder cases all day long, and Furukawa Kumisa and Amuro Toru, who have gained a lot of knowledge in the organization, rarely see corpses in such miserable conditions.
The murderer's cruelty was beyond the norm - he tortured the victim to death and then threw his body into the river...
The facial features of the corpse were indistinguishable due to various scars and bruises. Only the wide eyes told the deceased's last struggle and fear.
Furukawa Kumisa took a deep breath, letting the smell of the decaying corpse fill her lungs. She suppressed the raging nausea in her stomach, slowly stepped forward, and closed the wide-eyed eyes of the female corpse in the bag.
Matsuda Jinpei's voice also had a hint of solemnity: "I'll call Officer Megure right now... This case is not simple."
Toru Amuro looked at Furukawa Kumisa's actions, and felt a heartbeat. Then he took a step back and picked up the phone again: "I'll tell Mr. Mori... and tell him not to bring Miss Ran here."
It's too cruel for a young girl to see this kind of scene.
Furukawa Kumisa turned around after hearing this: "And that kid... his name is Conan, right? Children are not suitable for watching this kind of scene."
Toru Amuro's hand holding the phone tightened slightly: "Thank you Furukawa-san for reminding me, I will tell you."
Furukawa Kumisa silently added in his mind: Even if you say it, you probably can't stop the God of Death from rushing towards the crime scene.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Officer Megure and Kogoro Mori stepped out of the police car, followed by a dazzling little figure.
Mouri Kogoro's complaints could be heard from a long distance away: "This little devil really... said not to follow me, but actually got into the car directly..."
To be continued...
