"Officer, she doesn't have a necklace on her. Didn't we just check her?"
Matsuda walked past him, went to the door, and locked the door from the inside.
"Oh dear, officer, why are you closing the door? She just said she has a boyfriend. If he finds out I'm in a room with another man, he'll be jealous." The transvestite looked surprised, her pinky finger waving.
Suppressing his urge to vomit, Matsuda pulled handcuffs directly from his pocket.
Then he grabbed Matsushima's hand and handcuffed him to a nearby pillar.
"Officer, I didn't steal anything! I'm going to file a complaint with the Metropolitan Police Department about this!"
Matsushima screamed and roared in dissatisfaction.
"Stop shouting. Do you think I don't know where you hid the necklace?"
Matsuda tossed the plastic bag he had just asked the female trainer in front of Matsushima.
"Take the necklace out yourself. If you don't do it, wait for the police from Chiba to come and take care of it."
Matsuda warned, "Let me tell you in advance, when the Chiba police come, they will record the evidence. If you want your private parts to be filmed and broadcast in court, then keep denying it."
"you……"
Mr. Matsushima stared blankly at Matsuda, clearly not expecting that he actually knew where he had hidden the things.
Thinking of the consequences Matsuda had mentioned, Matsushima turned pale and hurriedly covered his back with one hand.
"Hurry up!" Matsuda urged, turning his back to her.
Matsushima hesitated for a moment before the rustling sound of clothes coming from behind could be heard.
Three minutes later, he whispered.
"Officer, I put the necklace in my bag."
Matsuda turned around and saw Matsushima leaning against the wall, his face full of regret.
"It's not too late to regret it now. Just don't do this kind of thing again after you get out of there."
After offering a word of advice, Matsuda was about to take the necklace out to return it to its owner when...
Before his hand even touched the bag, he suddenly remembered where the necklace inside had come from.
Matsuda hurriedly rummaged through the room and found another wooden stick, which he used to carry the plastic bag out of the trainer's rest room.
"Ms. Tanaka, look, isn't this your necklace?"
"My necklace?"
Ms. Tanaka quickly took the bag.
Sato and Ran also wanted to go over and see what the lost necklace looked like.
Matsuda quickly grabbed them.
"Don't go over there, there's nothing to see."
Although the two girls found it strange, they still stood obediently at a distance, trusting Matsuda.
"Why go to the room specifically?"
The short-haired girl suddenly asked,
"Since you already know where he hid the necklace, why don't you just say it in public?"
“You just told me that someone jumped into the sea because of police interrogation. If I say it here in public, and there’s an orca pool right next to us, what if he jumps in out of shame and something happens?” Matsuda replied.
“I see,” the girl nodded. “You’re different from other police officers in that you can think about the prisoners.”
"Little girl, how many police officers have you seen?"
Looking at the girl who had been acting all high and mighty since the beginning, Matsuda chuckled and patted her on the head.
"In the Lavender Villa case, police officers like the one who drove your friend to his death are ultimately a minority; most police officers are different from them."
How do you know that's my friend?
The girl paused for a moment, then slapped Matsuda's hand away in embarrassment and annoyance, and said discontentedly,
"Also, I graduated from high school two years ago, I'm not a child anymore!"
"Aren't some people's arms too long?" Sato snorted.
Matsuda chuckled sheepishly and withdrew his hand.
He explained in response to the girl's question.
"I'm just guessing. If she weren't a close friend, but just an ordinary passerby, you wouldn't have been so angry when Conan said that the girl was the murderer."
Here, after Ms. Tanaka opened the plastic bag,
Upon seeing the gemstone necklace inside, I was overjoyed.
"This is indeed my necklace! My gemstone necklace!"
While shouting, she reached out and took out the necklace.
Then, without even looking at it, he put it to his lips and kissed it.
"Thank goodness, my precious necklace, you're finally back."
"What's that smell? It stinks!"
The female trainer covered her mouth and nose and suddenly said.
"It seems to be coming from the necklace,"
Mr. Tanashita, standing to the side, also frowned and pointed at the necklace.
"There seems to be something yellow on the necklace,"
Conan pointed at the necklace and said something, then looked at the yellow, sticky substance...
He carefully recalled what Matsuda had just said; it was better for innocent girls not to know.
Conan twitched his nose as he thought about it.
This smells like shit...
I am!
Could this thing be hidden there...?
Once Conan understood, he couldn't hold back any longer and ran to the side to vomit.
"Conan, are you alright?" Ran asked with concern.
"Matsuda Jinpei, you bastard!" Conan gritted his teeth and roared, "You were holding Ran and the others back without even reminding me!"
“Hey, you went over there to see it yourself, I didn’t push you there,” Matsuda complained.
Judging from the joyful smile on his face, he was clearly ecstatic inside.
"What exactly happened? What are you two talking about, in riddles?"
Sato complained.
She and Xiaolan are still completely in the dark.
Chapter 74 Koshimizu Nanatsuki
"Actually..." Matsuda explained to the two girls in a low voice.
"What? He actually hid the necklace there..."
Sato's face paled, and she instinctively put her hand behind her back to shield herself.
Ran was also dumbfounded. She looked at Conan, who was gagging, and suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
If Matsuda hadn't stopped her, she'd probably be in no better shape than Conan right now.
"But how exactly did he put it in there?"
Sato glanced around at the audience. Although it was a weekday, the number of people wasn't as large as on the weekend.
But there were also hundreds of people in the surrounding stands.
"How did he manage to stuff that thing into...there in front of everyone?"
As he spoke, Sato blushed, clearly still finding it hard to believe that a necklace could fit inside.
"It must have been when they were getting close to the orcas."
Matsuda explained, "When Ran and the others put the things in the cabinet, Matsushima should have already stolen the necklace. When it was his turn to go into the water later, he just needed to find an opportunity when the orca blocked him and quickly stuff the necklace in."
"But didn't the trainer say that she checked me once before I went into the water?" Sato asked, puzzled.
"At that time, Matsushima should have already tucked the necklace there, because he is a man, and even if the trainer searched him, she would only touch his pockets at most."
Matsuda explained, "After all, no normal person would think that something could be stuffed in there."
The theft has been investigated and the police from Chiba are in the process of arriving.
Matsuda, using his position for personal gain, asked the trainer to take Sato to get close to the orcas.
Because Matsuda cleared her name and clarified the theft case, the trainer didn't refuse.
Watching Sato lean against the orca, laughing from time to time,
Matsuda's pent-up frustration from the previous incident with Kujo dissipated considerably in an instant.
When the police from Chiba arrived, Matsuda handed the culprit Matsushima over to them, and casually explained his modus operandi in a low voice.
The two Chiba police officers who arrived at the scene stared in disbelief at Ms. Tanaka, who had already put the necklace around her neck.
"Does she know about this...?" a policeman asked, his face twitching.
"That necklace is evidence; we need to get it back and keep it at the police station for now..."
The other policeman also had a livid face.
"This is not my job, it's your problem."
Matsuda chuckled twice, then turned and left.
Sure enough, before they had taken more than a few steps, they heard Ms. Tanaka's piercing scream again.
