Chapter 162
Kenji Hagihara really didn’t know Kei Ye Zhongguo. Just as Kei Ye Zhongguo said just now, what was hyped up in the news at that time had always been the murder of the well-known boxer Shotaro Matsuda, but it was the follow-up reversal that no one paid attention to.
At that time, Hagihara Kenji was not familiar with Matsuda Jinhei, so he only knew about it, but more, even he didn’t know.
Matsuda Jinpei has never been the one to talk about these things, so at this time, Hagihara Kenji was really startled.
Seeing Matsuda Jinpei and Hagihara Kenji leaving the table, Ye Zhongke Kei didn’t even realize what Matsuda Jinpei’s reaction and Hagihara Kenji’s name represented.
It’s just that his drunk and confused brain confused him and said, “…Huh? Matsuda…it seems a little familiar…”
He was still talking about thanking the boxer just now, but Ye Zhongke Kei didn’t even remember the name of Matsuda Shotaro.
The good-natured Kotani Shinshin, who had been persuading him not to drink more, seemed to have realized something from this surname, and looked at the two people who had already left at the door in surprise.
It’s just that this surprise only lasted for two seconds, Xiaogu Zhenxin’s eyes flashed, but the next moment he seemed more determined.
Ye Zhongguo and the people around them didn’t notice this at all, instead they saw it completely on the other side. Rei Fukugu narrowed his eyes, noticed the sense of disobedience, hesitated for a while, and finally did not replace Matsuda Jinping to investigate, and planned to mention it to him after Matsuda calmed down.
And Edogawa Conan, who is not clear about these things, although he does not know the specific reasons, but his detective acumen is not covered. Matsuda Jinhei’s reaction can already show a lot of answers.
Conan Edogawa murmured in surprise: “…No way?” Brother Matsuda just happened to know boxing, and he once mentioned that his father taught him.
Could it be that the boxer mentioned by the bald man is… Brother Matsuda’s father?
And this series of things, Matsuda Jinping is not yet known.
He tried hard to restrain his anger, but in the end, he did nothing. After walking around outside, he was almost calmed down by the cold wind.
Hagihara Kenji knew that his friend needed a calm time. Matsuda Jinhei was not the kind of person who would do something on impulse. Instead, he said something while suppressing his anger, which would only be self-defeating.
So when Matsuda Jinping opened the door and came back, Hagihara Kenji breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted Matsuda Jinping who was not surprised: “Little Jinping?”
Matsuda Jin lowered his eyes, “Sorry, you didn’t eat much just now, did you?”
Hagihara Kenji didn’t expect his friend to care about such trivial things first, so he smiled helplessly: “I’m not very hungry—compared to you, I ate a lot of snacks from Miss Xiaolan on the road, and Eat bread to fill your stomach, it should be you who will be hungry now, right?”
Matsuda Jinping snorted coldly: “I’m full of anger.”
For Matsuda Jinhei’s reaction, Hagihara Kenji breathed a sigh of relief – being able to say it in this tone meant that the impact was not as great as he thought.
“So, just now…” Hagihara Kenji asked.
“I’m just a little depressed.” Matsuda Jinping said.
It’s been more than 20 years since this incident, even taking the four years of his last life, minus the time he didn’t remember when he was a child, he really cares about rounding up, he has cared about it all his life, so his emotions are really not as good as others imagine. strong.
“Even if it caused some trouble in the public opinion, it was only sentenced to 20 years. In addition, if the other party has a good attitude in prison, he can even get a commutation and be released from prison early.” Matsuda Jinping exhaled. In one breath: “The murderer has been punished – I can understand this, so even if it is very uncomfortable, I will not do anything.”
This answer made Hagihara Kenji pursed his lips. Rather than endure like this, he would rather Matsuda Jinping be so angry that he directly punches that wild Chinese Kei. Although rationally understood, looking at his friend who had endured all his emotions and didn’t even think there was any problem – he couldn’t help but think of the four years he had not experienced.
If he and Matsuda hadn’t been separated, would Matsuda be the same as in the past, acting recklessly and maintaining a youthful attitude, which was a headache but couldn’t help but bring a smile.
You must know that the reason Matsuda Jinpei entered the police academy in the past was a rather naive beating to the inspector general.
“It’s not just that.” Hagihara Kenji said softly.
Matsuda Jinping didn’t refute and sat on the bed in the back. They booked a double suite, and the surrounding environment seems to need to sleep on tatami mats, but it is a hotel, not a group of middle and high school students who come for a school trip. Because there are too many people, they need everyone to squeeze to sleep. , so the bed is still there.
The two beds were placed in the same position, with a distance of tens of centimeters in the middle, just like an ordinary hotel. The white sheets were covered with a thin layer of fabric that was the same color as the wall and marked the name of the hotel.
Matsuda Jinping was silent for a while before he said, “And… I just didn’t expect that he didn’t regret it at all.”
“It’s fine for me, anyway, if someone says something in front of me, I’ll beat it back.” The curly-haired police officer lifted the quilt and lay in, his voice a bit dull: “It was true that things in my childhood had a little influence on me, but I don’t care that much either.”
This is also thanks to the boxing gym’s constant comfort and encouragement to his elders, making him believe that his father is not a murderer, Matsuda Jinhei is not so depressed.
“What I’m thinking about is… how the victim’s child would feel if they knew that the murderer was unrepentant.”
Most police officers are good at empathy, and so is Matsuda Jinhei. He said in a low voice: “The victim has a bad relationship with my father, so it was suspected that my father killed him at that time.”
“But because of this, I did hear my dad mention each other. And I remember… the other party has a child my age at home.”
Once he started to recall, Matsuda Jinping found that the vague memories of his childhood became as clear as the glass that had been wiped with water mist.
It turns out that he never seemed to forget what happened that year.
“Speaking of which, that kid was in the same school as me at the time… I also met him at school.” Matsuda Jinping, who was lying on the bed, folded his hands behind his head, recalling what happened when he was a child.
“I was called ‘the son of a murderer’ for a long time. At first, I was very depressed. I even hated my dad very much. I also thought that he really killed people.”
Matsuda Jinhei likes his father very much. He has a proud expression on his face. He trains hard boxing, works out every day, teaches him boxing with a smile, and tells him, “As expected of my son.”
He also believed that his father was not a murderer, but the people around him were accusing him of this. Due to the influence of the environment, Matsuda Jinping, who was only a primary school student at the time, couldn’t really care.
Therefore, in the face of the victim’s child, Matsuda Jinping felt guilty.
“I beat everyone up, but I didn’t dare to do anything except one.” Matsuda Jinping sighed.
Because it is a memory, in Matsuda Jinhei’s memory, the victim’s child is still just a primary school student. “When he came to me, I had just beaten up a group of little devils, and my body and fist were in terrible pain.”
Matsuda Jinhei still remembers what happened at that time.
With injuries on his body, he shouted to the short-haired kid who had been standing on the other side with a displeased expression: [Hey, do you want to be beaten too! 】
And the short-haired boy didn’t answer, just walked in front of him step by step with his schoolbag on his back. He was instinctively alert at the time, but the already stretched fist froze at the first sentence the boy said.
The short-haired boy had already grabbed his collar, but instead of punching him like the other children, his whole body was shaking. Obviously Matsuda Jinping didn’t do anything, but the child cried out by himself.
[You…] The boy trembled, grabbed his collar and cried: [You beat me, you can beat me to death, but you can give me back my dad…! 】
At that time, Matsuda Jinping froze personally, and Matsuda Jinping still remembers the complex emotions of confusion and grievance. Even when he said it now, Matsuda Jinping’s heart felt dull.
Matsuda Jinping, who was clearly appeased by the seniors in the boxing gym, no longer doubted his father, raised that emotion again – fortunately, not long after this incident, the truth came out, his father was not a murderer.
And the child moved away soon after.
These are things that Kenji Hagihara never knew, and Jinhei Matsuda never told anyone.
“I was just thinking, if that kid who loves to cry, would he cry so badly if he knew that the murderer would use such a tone to mention his murdered father?” Matsuda Jinping’s last words were a little joking. Means, but no one here can laugh.
Hagihara Kenji knew that what his friend needed was not comfort, he just needed to listen.
In the end, Hagihara Kenji asked only one question: “So, do you remember the name of that child?”
“Of course I remember.” Matsuda Jinhei yawned: “His name is Shinshin, Asada Shinshin.”
After speaking, Matsuda Jinping himself was stunned: “…Really believe?”
Hagihara Kenji seemed to confirm something: “If I remember correctly, at that table, is the person who apologized at that time also called Shinshin?”
Matsuda Jinhei directly lifted the quilt and sat up, looking at Kenji Hagihara who was speaking this information in astonishment.
“I called you Matsuda on purpose at that time.” Hagihara Kenji took out his mobile phone, and there was a message sent by Reigura.
“Furuya said, that Otani Shinshin, when he heard Matsuda, his reaction was not right.” Hagihara Kenji said.
There are many reasons for changing surnames in Japan, and Asada Masanobu’s father died, once the mother remarries, it is normal to change the surname.
Matsuda Jinhei realized this, and the more he recalled, the more he felt that Otani Mayumi looked familiar – but if Otani was really the child at that time, why did he stay by Ye Zhongkei’s side?
Matsuda Jinpei ignored Hagihara Kenji’s shouts, and immediately rushed out of the room and opened the sliding door of the dining hall.
Matsuda Jinping asked anxiously, “Where was the table just now?”
Gu Ling replied calmly: “The bald man was drunk, so he was sent back to the room by another student… The one who apologized to us just now.”
Matsuda Jinping asked, “Where did you go?!”
Zero Furutani pointed in one direction, and Jinping Matsuda immediately chased after him—don’t be what he thought!
There’s no need to pay an unneeded price for a scumbag!
And when he rushed over, he almost bumped into Kotani Shinshin who had just walked out of the room.
Matsuda Jinhei immediately stopped, and the clothes on his body should have become a little messy when he was running. He took a breath and said, “Wait, you are Asada, right?”
Xiaogu Zhenxin was stunned, he pursed his lower lip, his dark brown eyes sparkled, and after a long pause he said helplessly: “…I didn’t expect so many years to pass, Matsuda-kun, you still remember me.”
Matsuda Jinhei: “I’ll make a long story short – you haven’t done it yet, have you?”
Xiaogu Zhenxin was even more helpless: “…You still speak so directly, Matsuda-kun.”
Xiaogu Zhenxin blinked and said, “After seeing you and seeing your reaction just now, I knew that I would definitely not be able to do it today.”
Noticing the Maori family who had realized the problem behind Matsuda Jinping, Kotani Shinshin smiled and said, “So you still remember me.”
“If I do it, you will directly suspect me, right?” Xiao Guzhen said with a smile that was exactly the same as before: “So I hesitated for a while, it is obviously such a good opportunity…”
However, Matsuda Jinhei breathed a sigh of relief, saying such words in front of people, which means—
“I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Xiaogu Zhenxin lowered his eyes: “I don’t know why, I hesitated when taking the last step.”
“I’ve been preparing for this revenge for 20 years, and I’m just waiting for him to be released from prison.” Xiaogu Zhenxin clenched his fists: “I was really angry at what I said at the dinner table just now, but…”
“But at least, I don’t want to kill people in front of you, Matsuda-kun.” Kotani Shinshin bowed to Matsuda Jinping and apologized: “I was really sorry for what I said back then.”
Matsuda Jinping was stunned. He didn’t expect Kotani Shinshin to suddenly say something like this: “Uh, it’s fine, I didn’t care.”
“But I’m very concerned.” Xiaogu Zhenxin took a deep breath: “Back then, I even felt despicable joy at the fact that you were bullied and excluded from Matsuda-kun, thinking that I am so bad, how can you be safe? Go ahead and stay safe.”
“But I didn’t expect that it was caught by mistake. The murderer is not your father at all…”
“But before I moved, I didn’t dare to apologize to you…for this matter, so I have always regretted it.”
“I’ve been preparing for today for a long time… Although it seems to be a complete failure now.” Kotani Shinshin said with a relieved smile: “I really can’t kill people in front of you, Matsuda-kun.”
I will remember the harm that children’s words and childish words brought to people in those days. Even if I was led astray by the newspapers and thought that Matsuda Jinping’s father was a murderer, Kotani Shinshin didn’t do anything to Matsuda Jinping himself.
You must know the public opinion at the time, even if Kotani Masanobu pushed Matsuda Jinping down the stairs, others would not think there was anything wrong.
Therefore, this alone can prove that Xiaogu Zhenxin is a very gentle person by nature.
Matsuda Jinping exhaled: “That’s great.”
“That **** is not worth the price you pay for the rest of your life.” Matsuda Jinping raised his eyes and said, “And you didn’t do anything to me at all. If you want to blame, just blame the **** policeman who misjudged it at that time.”
The active duty officer said super bad lines.
Kotani Shinshin laughed: “You are still so interesting, Matsuda-kun.”
The atmosphere finally returned to normal, and Edogawa Conan was also quietly relieved.
I thought this murder case would end like this, but no one expected that they would hear a sharp scream in the next instant.
Everyone present: ? !
After arriving at the scene, Matsuda Jinhei’s expression turned pale in an instant, and his eyes fell on Hagihara Kenji.
The deceased was Ye Zhongguo, but the method of death was… He fell down the stairs and just hit his neck.
With the evidence of eyewitnesses and post-incident monitoring, it is obvious that Ye Zhonggui was drunk and did not step on his feet firmly. He accidentally fell down and just hit his neck.
Matsuda Jinhei believed Kotani Mason’s words, and it was impossible for him to suspect that his friend would do such a thing. This incident is just a coincidence within a coincidence.
He just suddenly reacted, what does this matter represent.
If Kotani Masanobu hadn’t met Matsuda Jinhei here, he would have no hesitation against Ye Zhongke Kei. In other words, the fate of Ye Zhongguo is actually mortal.
If you want to save Ye Zhongguo, you don’t just need to enlighten Kotani Shinshin, you also need to use the wish bar in advance.
Matsuda Jinping’s eyes were fixed on Hagihara Kenji, and his face was a little ugly – that is to say, if he hadn’t gathered all his wishes back then, then Hagihara Kenji would have died for such a funny reason.
Noticing his friend’s gaze, Hagihara Kenji looked over and asked in confusion, “Xiaozhenping?”
