MTL - Officer Matsuda Wants To Save Himself-Chapter 163
【Do you believe in fate? 】
[The simple explanation is that the point that will cause your death may not be the bomber. 】
[Even if there is no bomber, when the time comes, you will die for various reasons. 】
[It might even be a funny way to die when you fall down the stairs and just hit your head. 】
[Congratulations on spending November 7th, it's great that you didn't break your neck from falling down the stairs. 】
"Whether it is from surveillance or eyewitness accounts, it can be determined that the deceased Ye Zhongguo died because he was drunk and fell down the stairs accidentally.
Matsuda Jinhei expressed doubts about the existence of Willpower from the very beginning, but luckily he got an explanation from a senior.
So at the beginning, Matsuda Jinping made preparations in advance because he would rather believe it or not.
Therefore, before the arrival of November 7th, I exchanged the willpower to ensure the survival of Hagihara Kenji.
Even if he encounters a case when he goes out on weekdays, it is often after the incident. Matsuda Jinping has no way of knowing in advance who the murderer and the victim are, let alone reacting in advance.
Even if there is a case that happens occasionally, if there is time to stop it, even the wish bar used to exchange for life is ready, and most of the time it is not necessary to use it, because the victim itself will not die on the spot.
Just like when he ran into Zhufu Jingguang, who was still disguised as Midorikawa Hikaru, when he was camping with the juvenile detective team, the victim left safely.
In addition, his job is a bomb disposal policeman, so he would usually give priority to the evacuation of innocent people at the blast site. If it is too late, if the explosion occurs, a whole group of people will die, and the will is not enough.
So this is the first time that Matsuda Jinhei witnessed what would happen if the willpower was not exchanged in advance and the willpower was insufficient.
No, it's not the first time I've seen it.
The squad leader was actually the same, because the car accident still happened because of lack of willingness, but none of the four died.
To be precise, this is the first time that Matsuda Jinhei has witnessed that if the willpower is not enough, if he does not get this willpower system, if he does not meet the Peng Lie who helped him, and he does not get this explanation to prepare in advance— will cause death.
Then, even if he grabbed Kenji Hagihara on November 7th, he would be like the protagonist of "Death is Coming" and encounter all kinds of fatal and uncontrollable accidents that can lead to death.
Just like the current Wild China Gui.
Matsuda Jinping was afraid, and he felt that fear in hindsight.
If I didn't believe Peng Lie's explanation at that time, if I didn't have enough willingness at that time, and the choice at that time was a little wrong, then Hagihara Kenji would still die tragically in front of him.
Matsuda Jinhei thought he had come out long ago, and in fact he did - but he still instinctively felt that emotion when he encountered a related situation.
After a momentary instinctive reaction, Matsuda Jinhei grabbed Kenji Hagihara's wrist. Although Hagihara Kenji didn't understand why Matsuda Jinhei reacted in this way, his knowledge of his friends allowed him to easily capture Matsuda Jinhei's emotions.
"If you're uncomfortable, go back first? Just leave it to me here." Hagihara Kenji said softly.
However, Matsuda Jinpei didn't want to let Kenji Hagihara out of his sight now. He seemed to realize what he had done. Matsuda Jinpei let go of his hand, took two steps back, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."
Matsuda Jinping knew that he had a grudge against Ye Zhongguo, and even if he was also a policeman and had an absolute alibi, it was not suitable for him to approach the body now.
Xiaogu Zhenxin seemed to be taken aback, he glanced at the scene blankly, did not go to the corpse to confirm the death of the other party, but his face was pale, walked to Matsuda Jinping's side, his hands trembled slightly, he whispered. :"…he died?"
Matsuda Jinping looked at the scene that was under control after the chaos in front of him, but calmed down and said, "Well, he is dead."
Matsuda Jinping looked at Kotani Shinshin, who had a bad face, and asked, "Are you happy now?"
Kotani Shinshin looked at Matsuda Jinping with a blank expression, hesitated for a long time before saying, "...I, don't know."
"I, I didn't expect that he would be so easy..." Xiaogu Zhenxin's mental state was obviously a little confused: "I thought, I thought I would be very happy..."
But obviously, this is not the case.
Revenge is not a pleasant thing, on the contrary, after realizing it for such a funny reason, Kotani Shinshin looked stunned.
"Because the last person he came into contact with was you, then you should be questioned by the police to ask if there was a conflict between the deceased and you before he died." Matsuda Jinping was indifferent and said in a statement tone: "Because there is indeed a conflict between you and the deceased, and it even rises to hatred, and you also have a clear motive for killing, the police will ask more detailed questions and doubt your testimony."
"But as long as you don't really kill people, then these operations after that are just ordinary procedures."
"Get ready, Asada... I should call you Otani now, right?" Matsuda Jinhei patted Otani Masanobu on the shoulder: "Although it's not a good thing to say as a police officer... But this matter has weighed on you for so many years, after that You should also be able to let go and embrace a new life, right?"
"...Maybe." Kotani Shinshin seemed to calm down too, and then he looked at Matsuda Jinping in surprise: "Eh? Police? Matsuda-kun—?!"
Matsuda Jinping: "..."
Matsuda Jinping: "You're so rude, isn't it like that?"
Kotani Shinshin: "Ah, sorry! It's just, it's just Matsuda-kun, didn't you say just now... Are the police all bastards?"
"It doesn't seem like what I said at the time..." Matsuda Jinping narrowed his eyes and thought for two seconds: "Forget it, it's almost the same."
"No, it's a lot worse!" Hagihara Kenji came over and hooked Matsuda Jinhei's shoulder: "At least I'm definitely not one of the **** police officers!"
"That, Xiaogu-kun? The police over there is probably going to ask you for details. You can just go there. Yes, it's the policeman with an inch, so I'll temporarily borrow such a big Matsuda-kun? "Hagihara Kenji said with a smile.
Xiaogu Zhenxin bowed slightly to the two of them: "Then I'll go over first."
Matsuda Jinhei didn't care about Hagihara Kenji's actions, he just turned his head and asked, "Don't I need to go over?"
"No, you didn't have a direct dispute with the deceased, the previous actions were also captured by surveillance, and this time was obviously just an accident, so I explained it for you."
Matsuda Jinping didn't really want to make a transcript, and his expression was obviously a little tired: "Tsk, I'm just out for a trip."
"I can't help it, someone just happened to have an accident..." Hagihara Kenji said lightly: "But compared to this, your attitude just now was very wrong, Xiaojinping."
The half-long-haired police officer rolled his eyes: "Do you have anything else to hide from me?"
Matsuda Jinping: "..."
Hagihara Kenji said: "After determining the cause of death, I always feel a bit strangely familiar."
"[Congratulations on spending November 7th, it's great that you didn't break your neck because you fell down the stairs.]" Kenji Hagihara repeated the text message Matsuda Jinpei sent him in the past, and asked, "Xiaojinpei, you Is there nothing to explain?"
Matsuda Jinping narrowed his eyes: "Are you doubting me?"
Hagihara Kenji was stunned for a moment, and his expression became helpless: "No, why do you think so..."
The yukatas on them have been improved. In order to facilitate the small items worn by passengers, a hidden pocket is made. During the conversation with Hagihara Kenji, Matsuda Jinping took out a cigarette case from his pocket, put the cigarette in his mouth, and took out a lighter.
Matsuda Jinping glanced lazily at Hagihara Kenji: "Do you want to stop it?"
Hagihara Kenji looked even more helpless, but his eyes were full of tenderness: "No, give me one?"
Hagihara Kenji glanced at the brand of cigarettes, and it was obviously not the one they used to smoke, but the one that Kogoro Mouri liked.
Hagihara Kenji recalled for a moment and realized that he probably got it wrong by accident when he was arranging things on the train.
Hagihara Kenji smiled and said, "I'll have to buy a new pack later, Mr. Mori."
"Ah." Matsuda Jinping responded.
"It fell short, I mean quit smoking." Hagihara Kenji looked at the white smoke in front of him, and suddenly followed what Matsuda Jinhei said just now: "I know you won't do this kind of thing—but do you know?"
Hagihara Kenji said with a low smile: "When you said that, my first reaction was not to catch you, but to think about how to remove the suspicion from you and eliminate the evidence."
"Then you just wait to be arrested by me." Matsuda Jinping leaned against the door, the moonlight cast a shadow on the eaves, and he happened to be bathed in the moonlight.
"Oh, it's too much." Hagihara Kenji was not surprised by this answer, but said in a teasing tone: "I obviously volunteered to be your accomplice?"
"Don't talk to me the same way you treat them." Matsuda Jinping's eyes fell blankly on the white smoke in front of him: "I don't eat this."
"Well—although I don't know exactly what happened, but Xiaojinping, have you ever thought about what kind of misunderstanding you gave me when you looked at me just now?" Hagihara Kenji laughed again.
Matsuda Jin calmed down, his response was not slow, and he realized the answer almost immediately: "...Ah."
The curly-haired officer thought for a few seconds: "Is it too late to explain now?"
Hagihara Kenji laughed sullenly: "Your reaction is too cute... No need, in a sense, it was a coincidence that I achieved my goal."
"Although I don't know the reason, but just now, Xiao Jinping, were you afraid?" Hagihara Kenji stretched out his hand, and in the eyes of Matsuda Jinping's refusal, he rubbed the curly hair that felt very good.
"Don't worry, as I said, I'm not going to die, I've always been here." Kenji Hagihara brought a gentle and wanton smile, and added more strength to his hand: "Anyway, whether you believe it or not, I'm still here now. Proving it all the time, hasn't it?"
His curly hair was messed up, but Matsuda Jinping didn't get too angry, and snorted coldly: "You better do what you say."
