Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

Then, looking at the three forks in the road, he was stunned, just like Matsuda.

"This is troublesome," Megure said with a headache. "There are definitely more forks in the road ahead of these forks. Even if we send out all the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department, we probably won't be able to search them all in a short time, let alone with our small number of people!"

"Go back first, Inspector."

Matsuda has already given up on catching the zombie in the floodgates, but of course he'd have to tell Megure a different story.

"Since they took the body, they must have had their own reasons for doing so; they couldn't possibly have stayed hidden in the flood discharge pipe forever,"

"Instead of searching here slowly, we should set up checkpoints on the ground and wait for them to come up."

"That's the only way now!" Inspector Megure nodded, then called the other officers and returned to the ground with Matsuda.

……

Megure, along with other patrol officers, set up roadblocks all over Tokyo in an attempt to catch the robbers who stole the corpses.

Matsuda himself returned to the former residence of Marujiro's family...

Chapter 42 A Suicidal Couple

According to the system's description, after Marufujiro's corpse undergoes a transformation, he will definitely return to seek revenge on his wife and doctor who cheated on him.

Instead of wandering the world like Inspector Megure, it's better to stay here and wait for the right opportunity.

"Officer Matsuda?"

When Madam Maru saw that the person knocking at the door was Matsuda, her face immediately darkened.

"Hasn't the case already been investigated? What are you doing here, Officer Matsuda?"

"Well, actually there was a problem along the way."

Since the theft of the body couldn't be hidden any longer, Matsuda simply told the whole story.

"In short, I suspect that the person who stole Mr. Marujiro's body might come to this mansion. May I examine it here?"

"This... I'm afraid it's inconvenient!" Madam Maru said with an unnatural expression.

Just then, someone in the courtyard called out, "Darling, who is it?"

Matsuda peeked out and saw that it was Dr. Hatano.

He was wearing pajamas and slippers, and it seemed that he had already moved into the mansion.

Dr. Hatano noticed Matsuda's gaze and immediately remembered what Matsuda had said before, his face turning awkward.

“Gentlemen, I have no interest in your relationship whatsoever, and that’s none of my business,” Matsuda shrugged. “I’m just worried that the robbers who stole Mr. Marujiro’s body might return, and this is for your safety as well.”

"What? Mr. Marujiro's body has disappeared?" Dr. Hatano was startled.

"Officer Matsuda, please do not search at will!" Dr. Hatano pulled Mrs. Marufu away. "Our safety is in Officer Matsuda's hands!"

……

Matsuda walked around the yard but found nothing.

However, this was within Matsuda's expectations, since it wasn't dark yet and Marufujiro's zombie was still a white zombie.

It fears sunlight and should still be hiding in the flood discharge channel, too afraid to come out.

"You two probably don't mind if I stay here for a while..." Matsuda asked.

Before Mrs. Marufu could say anything more, Dr. Hatano had already nodded in agreement.

After being persuaded by Dr. Hatano, Mrs. Marufu arranged a guest room for Matsuda at random.

Matsuda ate another free dinner before lying down in his room, patiently waiting for the arrival of Marujiro the zombie.

For some reason, Matsuda waited until late into the night, but there was still no sign of anything happening!

strangeness……

Matsuda checked the time. Since the system said that the zombie would take revenge as soon as it woke up, it must be tonight.

But it's already past midnight, why haven't the zombies come yet?

Is it...

Matsuda's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got up and knocked on the maid's door.

"Where are Mrs. Marufu and Dr. Hatano?"

“They drove out in the middle of the night,” the maid said, yawning.

"What?!" Matsuda was furious. "Didn't I tell them to stay home as much as possible?"

"It was the lady who said that staying here with the doctor might offend the master's spirit," the maid explained, "so she wanted to go outside to be intimate."

"Do you know where they drove off to?" Matsuda asked sharply.

The maid said uncertainly, "I think I vaguely heard Madam mention a nearby park?"

Damn it, going to the park to have an affair late at night, these two are really asking for trouble!

Marujiro had barely died when these two adulterers couldn't wait to get started.

After getting directions, Matsuda immediately drove off in the police car he had brought earlier.

……

Near the Marujiro residence, in a public park that is open even at night.

A white car was parked on the edge of an open space.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Mrs. Marufu said coquettishly, "You're so annoying! You just said no!"

"Just now in that courtyard, I kept thinking about that old man, which is why I was so limp. Of course, that won't do."

Dr. Hatano, standing nearby, chuckled and was about to embrace Mrs. Marufu.

Mrs. Marufu let the doctor hold her in his arms, her face beaming with joy.

"That old bastard is finally dead. Now we can be together forever?"

"Yeah, that old bastard was really lucky to die! Now we don't have to sneak around anymore!"

Dr. Hatano was beaming with excitement.

"Thinking back on it now, what that police officer said today wasn't wrong after all."

The doctor smiled at Mrs. Maru.

"Right now, I'm living in that old man's house, driving that old man's car, and sleeping with that old man's wife, hahaha..."

"Hmph, isn't all of this thanks to..." Madam Wan Fu stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Dr. Hatano looked down in surprise and saw that Mrs. Marufu's face had turned deathly pale for some reason, and her whole body was trembling like a sieve.

"What's wrong? You're already done before we've even started?" Dr. Hatano teased.

"...You, you are Marufujiro!"

Mrs. Maru suddenly let out a scream and immediately tried to crawl under the seat.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That old man already..."

After giving a rebuke, Dr. Hatano subconsciously looked in the direction Mrs. Marufu had been looking, and then he also let out a miserable howl.

"H-How could this be? Mr. Marufu, you..."

Right outside the car, Marujiro, who had turned into a zombie, stared at the despicable couple inside with a stiff face and murky eyes.

Unlike regular zombies, which only transform into corpses after their souls have left their bodies.

Marufujiro turned into a zombie due to anger, and his soul is now permanently trapped in this zombie-like body.

Having a complete memory of his life, Marufujiro was already furious when he saw his wife and lover having an affair in the park right after his death!

After hearing Dr. Hatano's earlier words about living in his house, driving his car, and sleeping with his wife, Marujiro could no longer hold back.

"Crack!"

Marujiro angrily slammed the glass of the car's side door into the ground.

He reached his pale hand through the shattered glass and grabbed Dr. Hatano by the collar.

"Ah, a monster, a monster..." Mrs. Marufu screamed.

Her husband's blood-stained, deathly pale face, and the two sharp teeth protruding from his mouth, instantly shattered her will.

Mrs. Maru quickly opened the passenger door, trying to escape!

"Don't leave me!" Dr. Hatano struggled desperately as well.

But how could an ordinary person like him possibly escape Marujiro, who had already become a zombie?

Seeing that he had no hope of escaping, Dr. Hatano suddenly grabbed Mrs. Marufuku, who was trying to get out of the passenger seat!

"Mr. Marufu, this really isn't my fault!"

Dr. Hatano shouted in a panic,

"It's all your wife's fault! Yes! She seduced me first!"

Chapter 43 Die together

"Roar……"

Marufujiro let out an angry roar. Although he was still holding onto Dr. Hatano, his cloudy, white eyes glazed over with resentment as he looked at Mrs. Marufuji.

Seeing that the monster had actually listened to what he had just said, Dr. Hatano immediately confessed everything.

"Mr. Marufu, it's this woman!"

"She said you were old and frail and couldn't satisfy her at all, so she deliberately seduced me!"

"She also said that as long as I'm with her, after you die, all your property and everything you own will belong to us!"

"You bastard, Hatano! If you hadn't groped me while I was at the doctor's, how could I have possibly seduced you!"

The revelation of past events shocked and angered Madam Wanfu.

She tried her best, but she couldn't break free from Dr. Hatano's grip on her hand.
