Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Matsumoto took the information Chengshi handed him and briefly flipped through it. Then, his eyes lit up instantly:

"Great, this is what I need!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, wanting to pat Cheng Shi's shoulder, but after hesitating for a moment, he retracted his hand:

"Very good, girl. Thanks to the evidence you provided, we can now start the arrest operation!"

After a pause, Matsumoto said curiously:

"But why do you have these things in your hands? If they knew you had evidence, Megure and the others wouldn't have secretly searched for it, and it wouldn't have been missing until now!"

Cheng Shi said weakly:

"Um, sorry, I'm actually a boy!"

"Hey?!"

Before he could continue, everyone around him exclaimed in surprise. They stared at Cheng Shi with wide eyes, looking him up and down.

"No way! With this look, you're telling me she's a boy?"

"Yeah, and besides, I didn't see her having an Adam's apple!"

"Except for being a little flat, she doesn't look like a boy at all!"

In an instant, there was a lot of discussion.

Amid the discussions around him, Cheng Shi twirled the ends of his hair a little embarrassedly.

It would have been fine if he hadn't moved, but this time he moved, he looked even more like a girl, which made the discussion around him even louder.

"enough!"

Seeing this, Matsumoto spoke up to stop his men from making noise.

Seeing that the surroundings had quieted down, Cheng Shi put down his hand and put on a sad smile on his face:

"This piece of evidence is my father's suicide note. Someone hid it before and used it to threaten Hei Yan and others to get a share of the profits.

It wasn't until yesterday that I learned of its existence from someone and retrieved it at night."

Matsumoto sighed upon hearing this, reached out his hand, and gently patted Chengshi's shoulder:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know this was happening. But is it okay for you to give me your father's suicide note?

If you need it, I can go back and make a backup of the information and then return the original to you!"

Cheng Shi shook his head slightly:

"It's okay! These things in your hands are what my father hoped to pass on to you twelve years ago. Although it's a little late, I'm glad that I can help you."

Matsumoto nodded in understanding.

He understood from Cheng Shi's words that what the other party gave him should only be a part of his father's last words, but this was enough!

As for the rest, the things written to his son, it would be useless for him to come over! After all, his goal this time was to catch the drug dealers on the island.

Moreover, he couldn't do such a thing as taking away the last words left to him by someone else's father.

"Wait? Last night?!"

Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this:

"Dr. Cheng Shi, did you sneak out last night?"

Cheng Shi smiled at Xiao Lan:

"Of course, didn't I say that? I'm a normal boy! Please forgive me for being in the same room with a beautiful girl like you!

By the way, I have also brought here the person who secretly hid my father's belongings. Do you need to meet him?"

Feeling Conan's resentful eyes behind him, Chengshi's smile became even brighter.

"Then it's up to you!"

Soon, Cheng Shi dragged the tightly tied old policeman out from the inner room that he had locked.

Looking at the police uniform on the other person, Matsumoto's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"It was him who secretly hid my father's will twelve years ago and used it to threaten Heiyan and the others, profiting from it. He even became the umbrella for the drug trafficking group on this island!

If you don't believe me, I have a recording of my conversation with him last night, where he personally admitted to the crime."

As he spoke, Chengshi took out a small recorder from his pocket and handed it to Matsumoto in front of him.

He did not believe that Matsumoto was a good policeman, but because he believed in Conan. Since Conan believed that this policeman was trustworthy, he would naturally trust him.

Matsumoto took Chengshi's recorder with a dark face and handed it to the person behind him. After a long silence, he said:

“I’m impressed by him!

Not long ago, because he was approaching retirement age, we sent someone to ask him if he wanted to switch his jurisdiction back to mainland China, but he refused at the time, saying that as a police officer, he had to stand guard for the last time!

At that time, I even considered whether I should report it to the Chief Inspector and make him an excellent internal case for future generations to learn from!

Who knew this guy actually stayed on this island just to continue to act as a protective umbrella!"

The more he spoke, the darker Matsumoto's face became.

He was really angry! He almost promoted a drug dealer's protector as an excellent internal case study?

Fortunately, this matter is just a draft at the moment. If it is really implemented, how can Matsumoto Kiyonaga still save his reputation?

"No wonder Manager Matsumoto has such a sour face!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a look of understanding.

Matsumoto seemed to realize that he had said too much and turned around to glare at his subordinates:

"Why are you still standing there? I've given you all the evidence. Do you need me to tell you what to do next? Get everyone on board and start arresting people door to door!"

After receiving Matsumoto's order, the policemen behind him nodded and ran out. After hearing about their boss's dark history, who would dare to stay here any longer?

Seeing that everyone else had left, Matsumoto's expression finally eased a little. He looked at Cheng Shi and the others:

"Okay, I'm going to go find Megure and the others. Do you want to come with me?"

Cheng Shi didn't say anything, but his eyes subconsciously glanced towards Conan, which made Conan feel numb!

Brother, please get this straight! You're the adult, okay? Why are you looking at me?

Fortunately, Xiaolan spoke in time:

"I'm going!"

A trace of worry appeared on her face:

"This island is so dangerous, I don't know how Dad and the others are doing!"

Conan quickly said:

"If Sister Xiaolan goes, I want to go too!"

"In that case, I'll come along too! After all, I promised Mr. Maori that I would take good care of you two!"

Cheng Shi adjusted her hair and said with a smile.

Conan glanced at him with disdain when he heard this.

You call that caring? Whose way of caring for others is to give them drugs!

Feeling Conan's gaze, Chengshi smiled awkwardly.

Next, they searched for Maori and Megure on this island that had been completely suppressed by the police.

......

"A-choo! Megure, tell me, can Inspector Matsumoto find us?"

In a vast poppy field, Maori lay on the ground, looking at the villagers around him who were constantly searching for something, and cautiously asked Megure beside him.

Yesterday, after searching in the mountains and forests for a while, the two of them discovered this huge poppy field.

After making some discoveries, Maoli, who was about to leave, lost his original vigilance due to his long-term pampered life, and his whereabouts were accidentally discovered by the villagers.

After a night of battle royale, Maori felt his heart go cold as he looked at the villagers getting closer and closer.

Megure glared at him fiercely. If it weren’t for this guy, how could he be exposed!

However, looking at the old subordinate beside him, he sighed and whispered:

"Don't worry, Inspector Matsumoto is here! I've also sent him our information. From now on, we just need to be careful!"
