Matsuda Jinpei was happy the moment he received the call from Furukawa Kumisa, but unfortunately the joy only lasted for a few seconds before being broken by the voice on the other side.

"...So, he didn't have time to commit the crime and dump the body." Furukawa Kumisa gave a bunch of clues about Matsushima Takashi and finally concluded.

Matsuda Jinpei choked up: "Is this why you called me at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?"

Furukawa Kumisa also paused, and then seemed to remember something: "Ah, indeed, it is so late, does it disturb Officer Matsuda's rest?"

Matsuda Jinpei:......

He sighed helplessly and said softly: "It's okay, I just didn't expect you to be so... dedicated." When he was on vacation, he actually investigated the case.

"Well, that's all I want to say. Is there anything else you want to ask, Officer Matsuda?"

Matsuda Jinpei was silent for a while, and then asked: "When...are you coming back?...Sato and the others miss you very much."

Matsuda Jinpei's voice is calm and pleasant, and the soft voice that is deliberately lowered has a touch that touches people's hearts.

Furukawa Kumisa lowered his eyes.

Precisely because she heard what he meant, she didn't know how to answer him.

——Sato, they all miss you, and so do I.

Both inside and outside the phone fell into an atmosphere of silence, which was immediately broken by a familiar voice.

"Furukawa-san, the police officer asked if he would take us back to the hotel."

Matsuda Jinpei's gritted voice came from the phone: "...Is there anyone next to you?"

Furukawa Kumisa subconsciously replied: "Ah, yes, Amuro-kun is here, and Conan-kun."

After saying that, I heard a child cheering: "Okay! It's a police car! I want to be a police car! It's so cool!"

Edogawa Conan ran over and tugged on her clothes, "Sister Furukawa, come on, come on, let's take the police car back to the hotel!"

When Furukawa Kumisa was interrupted by him, his original mood became a little distracted, and he laughed: "Okay, you guys go over first. Amuro-kun, watch Conan and don't let him run away."

Although we know that this person is actually a seventeen-year-old boy with a mature mind, the seven-year-old appearance is always deceiving, especially when the other person deliberately pretends to be young.

Toru Amuro glanced at Furukawa Kumisa, who was still on the phone, and smiled: "Then let's go outside and wait for Furukawa-san. After you make the call, we will go back together."

Toru Amuro took the noisy Conan to the door first. The area around Furukawa Kumisa quieted down, and she continued to call Matsuda Jinpei.

"Ah, I'm sorry, where did you say that?"

Matsuda Jinpei:...That guy Rei Fukiya must have done it on purpose!! Who is this "family of three" looking so happy to show to?

He took a deep breath: "It's nothing. Furukawa, you should go back and rest early. It's getting late. We will handle Mizuo Misa's case here."

"Okay, then I will first..."

"besides."

"Um?"

"You and Mr. Amuro stay in the same hotel?"

Furukawa Kumisa's heart tightened. It was over. He had forgotten about it. How could he explain that he was originally going on vacation alone, but ended up running into Toru Amuro and the others?

She thought for a while: "Well... yes, we met at the airport. It seems that the doctor and his friends won the seven-day tour package of Yoichi Town, Hokkaido, and then I left with them..."

She copied Toru Amuro's nonsense excuse directly.

"That's right... Then go back and rest early. Good night."

"Okay, Officer Matsuda, please go to bed early. Good night."

Matsuda Jinpei's focus was somewhat lost. He held the hung up phone and fell into deep thought.

He can guess a little bit about the work that Rei Fangtani is doing now. With this status, he should not do anything without aim, because "I won a prize so I went on a trip" or something like that...

The excuse may be good to deceive Furukawa, but it cannot fool him.

So, in the early hours of that night, Toru Amuro returned to the hotel and after washing up, was about to turn on the computer to work when he received a familiar phone call.

Toru Amuro looked at the caller ID on the screen, paused in his hand, thought for a moment, and then picked up the phone.

Opposite him, Matsuda Jinpei said angrily: "Good evening, Mr. Client?"

Toru Amuro:......

Knowing that his friend was still complaining about his nonsense excuse of "client", he coughed somewhat unjustly.

"Good evening, Matsuda."

They already had a relationship that did not require politeness. Matsuda Jinpei went straight to the point: "What is your purpose in approaching Furukawa?"

This was really not a polite question, but Toru Amuro knew that Matsuda Jinpei was just asking questions honestly, rather than asking questions or being weird.

As early as when Matsuda Jinpei knew that he and Furukawa Kumisa were in Hokkaido, he knew that Matsuda would come to ask him about it sooner or later.

He now knows his job, and has seen himself appearing next to Furukawa Kumisa again and again. If he still can't find something wrong, he doesn't look like Matsuda Jinpei.

Toru Amuro slowly leaned back on the chair behind him, his voice low and hoarse, with a bit of a smile: "Coincidence, mixed with a little selfishness."

Matsuda Jinpei said nothing, and Toru Amuro knew that the other party was waiting for his further explanation.

"I did have other things to do when I came to Hokkaido. It was a coincidence that I met Furukawa-san, but traveling with her... was my selfish intention."

This is the result that Matsuda Jinpei least wants to hear - rather than the answer of "really tempted", he would rather hear that Rei Fukoutani had some agenda to get close to Furukawa Kumisa.

Therefore, after getting the answer, Matsuda Jinpei fell silent.

After a while, Jiang Guling heard a curse on the other end of the phone.

"You bastard..." he said in a tone that seemed a little angry but also a little bit funny, "you suddenly disappeared for several years without knowing how to contact us! Then you suddenly show up and do such a bastard thing!"

It seemed that something in the words touched Jiang Guling's point. He reached out and pinched his eyebrows: "For the former, I am indeed sorry."

He didn't want to talk much about that missing time, he just mentioned it in one sentence.

He slowed down and spoke again: "But for the latter... Matsuda, Furukawa-san is single now."

Having said this, he thought of the smile that Furukawa Kumisa used to show when he mentioned Matsuda Formation this afternoon, and he felt entangled in his heart for a moment, but he sighed heavily and spoke out.

"But you shouldn't worry, Furukawa-san..." He paused, "She has a crush on you."

After saying this, he even curled his lips helplessly.

He also thought about whether to hide this matter from Matsuda Jinpei. After all, after two adult men and women who are in love know each other's intentions, it is uncertain how they will progress.

But in the final analysis, he can't do such petty tricks emotionally, especially when the other person is still his best friend.

Unexpectedly, Matsuda's curse on the other end of the phone was even louder: "Ha? Are you kidding me! Now the whole police department knows that she avoids me like a scourge. Today is a rare phone call and she refused to let me know anything during the whole process.

I say! - Jiang Gu, this joke is not funny at all."

Feng Guling:...? Wait, why is this different from what he knows?

It doesn't sound like Matsuda Jinpei is joking...

Before he could react, he heard Matsuda Jinpei on the opposite side say a little irritably: "Okay, I'm just calling to tell you not to drag Furukawa into anything dangerous. As for the rest... I'll wait for you.

Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

After being unilaterally hung up by her irritable friend, Toru Amuro frowned while holding the phone.

Listen to Matsuda...Furukawa doesn't like Matsuda that much?

Then why did she behave like that...?

Toru Amuro can no longer remember how many times he has fallen victim to Furukawa Kumisa. It seems that he cannot fully interpret everything related to her performance.

Forget it... let's work first.

The case of the jewelry thief was settled two weeks later. When he received a call from the Sapporo police, Furukawa Kumisa had even had the plaster removed from his arm.

She yawned and went to the restaurant downstairs to eat the breakfast buffet. She happened to meet Toru Amuro, who was traveling with her, and she said hello.

"Good morning, Amuro-kun."

What greeted her was Toru Amuro's too bright smile: "Good morning, Furukawa-san."

When they got down to the restaurant, Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai had already sat down, with breakfast in front of them, and greeted them.

"Morning, Furukawa."

"Good morning, Sister Furukawa."

Furukawa Kumisa took breakfast and sat down across from them: "Just in time, I just received a call from the Sapporo police. There is something hidden in the jewelry theft case yesterday."

Edogawa Conan perked up as soon as he heard this: "What is it?"

Just as Toru Amuro sat down next to Kumisa Furukawa, she moved her seat to the side to make room for him.

After taking a sip of milk, Furukawa Kumisa said: "They found fingerprints on the jewelry. They were all people with criminal records. It was easy to find the person. Later, the captured robbers confessed that Matsushima Takashi was them.

accomplice."

"Accomplice?" Haihara Ai took a bite of bread, "But didn't you say that Matsushima Takashi is from Tokyo?"

Indeed, according to the information they obtained in the previous case, Matsushima Takashi was a native of Tokyo and came to Sapporo just for vacation.

"Well, so the accomplice... is actually not accurate. At least Matsushima Takashi did not participate in their theft.
