As a police officer, he cannot arbitrarily dispose of criminals, as that would violate police ethics.
Moreover, even if the murderer is caught by the police, under Japanese law, he will most likely not be sentenced to death.
Since that's the case, why not let the little girl who is the victim take revenge herself and kill the murderer who harmed her!
The Ghost Knight had already entered the room beforehand. Matsuda had instructed it to protect any surviving little girls.
I wonder if there are any other victims...
Thinking of this, Matsuda checked his watch; the little girl's evil spirit had entered the room almost ten minutes ago.
The man's terrified screams had subsided three minutes earlier.
Judging that it was about time, Matsuda took out the key he got from the manager and opened the door to room 302.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a mixture of various odors, including mold, sourness, and fishiness.
The floor inside was littered with fast food containers, beverage bottles, and other trash.
The room was dark, and the curtains were drawn tightly shut.
Matsuda fumbled around and just as he turned on the light, he saw a pair of dark eyes emitting a ghostly glow in front of him, and two bluish claws reaching out towards him!
Depend on……
Even though he was mentally prepared, Matsuda was still taken aback.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the Ghost Knight remained loyal to his master. Before the little girl's evil spirit's claws could even touch Matsuda, the Ghost Knight grabbed her arm and threw her away.
"what……"
Perhaps having already avenged herself, the girl's vengeful spirit grew even more vicious.
It was afraid of the Ghost Knight before, but after being thrown out by the Ghost Knight, it immediately turned around and started fighting with the Ghost Knight!
The two of them were fighting, while Matsuda began searching the room.
Soon, he discovered the vengeful spirits of the other three little girls.
Two of them are the victims of the two recent kidnapping and murder cases, and the other one, whose figure is blurry, is probably the girl who was accidentally killed by Tetsuji Makita a year ago.
Compared to the malevolent spirit that had attacked him earlier, the vengeful spirits of these three girls were much weaker.
Matsuda easily subdued the three of them using the silver chain.
However, the vengeful spirits of the three girls had also lost their minds and continued to struggle there.
Matsuda had originally thought that if these girls were still rational, he would try to let them meet with their parents one last time to say goodbye.
But looking at their current situation, that's clearly impossible.
So they simply sent the vengeful spirits of the three girls to the underworld.
In the innermost bedroom, Matsuda found the kidnapper and murderer, Tetsuji Makita.
His hands were gripping his neck tightly, making it appear as if he had strangled himself to death.
Just as Matsuda was about to examine the body, a "thump" suddenly came from the wooden box next to him.
Anyone else?
Matsuda hurriedly went over and opened the wooden box; sure enough, there was another little girl inside.
She had no injuries, so she must have been kidnapped by Tetsuji Makita.
The little girl's mouth was sealed shut with layers of tape, and her big eyes were filled with terror.
Matsuda quickly took her out of the wooden box. When the little girl saw Makita Tetsuji on the ground, she immediately began to struggle in terror.
"Don't be afraid, little girl, I'm a policeman!"
Matsuda placed the police handbook in the girl's hand, urging her to examine it carefully, while comforting her.
"It's alright now. This guy has been caught by the police. Uncle will take you back to your parents in a little while."
In this room, the Ghost Knight was still fighting with the little girl's evil spirit, and the dead Makita Tetsuji was lying on the ground. It was clearly not a suitable place for the little girl to stay any longer.
Matsuda simply picked her up and carried her to the door of apartment 301 next door.
After knocking on the door, Matsuda gave a brief explanation.
Chapter 31: They're both police officers, but why is there such a huge difference between them?
The middle-aged woman here was also quite frightened after learning that the person living next door was the recent kidnapper and murderer.
However, the middle-aged woman did not refuse Matsuda's request to take care of the little girl.
After settling the little girl in, Matsuda returned to the room.
The little girl's evil spirit is still entangled with the Ghost Knight, but it is gradually losing ground.
Matsuda took out the silver chain, and with his help, the Ghost Knight quickly subdued the little girl's evil spirit, picking it up in his hand like a cat.
As soon as Matsuda stepped forward, the little girl's malevolent spirit bared its sharp teeth and peered out, trying to bite him.
Compared to the vengeful spirits of the three girls before, the little girl's malevolent spirit in front of them clearly had even less hope of regaining consciousness.
Matsuda, just like before, sent her to the underworld.
……
At the Metropolitan Police Department, Shiratori has found the case file from a year ago and is reporting to Inspector Megure, preparing to search for the whereabouts of this man named Makita Tetsuji.
Just then, the landline phone on Megure's desk rang.
"Hey, Matsuda-kun!"
"What? You've already found the culprit's trail? Great, we're on our way!"
Inspector Megure hung up the phone and excitedly went to find the other officers.
Left behind, Shiratori stood there, looking at the dossier in his hand with a wry smile.
After going through so much trouble to find these things, it turned out that the other side had already solved the case.
By the way, even these case files were found by him.
We're all police officers, so why is there such a big difference between us?
……
Tetsuji Makita, the perpetrator of a series of kidnapping and murder cases involving young girls.
After being discovered by renowned detective Matsuda Jinpei, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
In his apartment, Officer Matsuda not only found evidence from several previous kidnapping and murder cases,
They also rescued a little girl who had just been kidnapped by criminals.
The little girl has now been returned to her parents by the police.
"That guy solved another case last night."
In Mihana Park, Conan nestled in an old man's arms, muttering to himself as he looked at the newspaper in his hand.
"Officer Matsuda is really amazing!"
Ayumi, clinging to the bench from behind, also looked at the newspaper and said...
"For the past week, because the criminal hasn't been caught, my mom hasn't let me go out to play freely."
"My mother only let me out this morning after she read the newspaper and learned that Officer Matsuda had found the culprit."
Seeing Ayumi's adoring expression towards Matsuda, Conan was about to say something sarcastic when he heard Genta shout.
"Conan, I've got you!"
Conan was pulled out by Genta and secretly turned his head to look behind him. Ayumi had somehow hidden behind the chair.
"That's strange, I clearly heard Ayumi's voice just now." Genta said, puzzled.
"You might have misheard," Conan quickly tried to divert his attention.
……
A group of mischievous kids played until the afternoon, and just as they were about to leave, they realized that Ayumi was missing.
Conan, having just obtained his detective badge, finally managed to contact Ayumi.
But then she learned from Ayumi that there was a pile of banknotes and a bloody human head in the trunk of the car she was in!
"Oh no... Could it be..."
Conan immediately thought of the newspaper he had seen earlier.
Could it be the recent kidnapper and murderer of a teenage girl, or an accomplice, or is this a copycat case?
"What should we do? Will Ayumi be in trouble?" Genta asked anxiously.
“Ayumi…the robbers…right, let’s notify Officer Matsuda immediately!” Mitsuhiko suggested.
Conan initially wanted to track them down himself using his skateboard, but Mitsuhiko's explanation made sense.
If the police help intercept him, it will indeed be much faster than if he were to pursue the enemy alone.
So he immediately went to the phone booth and dialed Matsuda's cell phone.
……
Metropolitan Police Department, office. Matsuda had already been slacking off, waiting to go home.
But then she suddenly received a call from Conan and learned that Ayumi had been kidnapped!
"Impossible! There's only one prisoner; he should have committed suicide last night!"
Matsuda directly dismissed Conan's suspicions.
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for police cars to intercept them."
"what happened?"
Seeing Matsuda's hurried appearance, Sato quickly asked what was wrong.
"Something's happened! Another little girl has been kidnapped!"
"How is that possible? Didn't that prisoner already commit suicide?" Takagi exclaimed in surprise.
