Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

Page 40

Xiaobaihe clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on the groom.

"Our issues shouldn't involve innocent people!"

"Heh, heh heh, what are you talking about, Little Lily?"

Gao Binjun took a step back and asked, his cheek twitching.

"The policeman who killed your mother in his haste to escape while chasing a criminal was my father!"

Sayuri looked at Matsuda, her face full of conflict...

Chapter 48 You're a coward!

But soon, Sayuri's expression hardened, and she gritted her teeth and loudly recounted everything.

"Junyan, I saw you poison the lemon tea!"

"I originally wanted to drink that can of lemon tea and use my death to resolve the hatred in your heart!"

"But I didn't expect there to be two cans of lemon tea on the table. Officer Matsuda and I took the wrong ones, and Officer Matsuda drank the poisoned can of lemon tea!"

"Junyan, what exactly did you add to it?" Sayuri asked anxiously. "Tell me now, and maybe Officer Matsuda can still be saved!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by poisonous or not? When did I ever poison anyone!"

Gao Binjun looked at Matsuda, who was clutching his stomach, his eyes darting around, while he continued to make excuses.

"Junyan, I've said it before, this is between us. Don't drag innocent outsiders into this!"

Little Lily clung to the groom's arm, pleading desperately.

Unexpectedly, her words seemed to provoke the groom.

Gao Binjunyan suddenly raised his hand and pushed Xiaobaihe to the ground!

"What do you mean by 'innocent outsider'? Wasn't my mother innocent too?"

"She was still hit and killed by a car because your father was chasing a fugitive!"

"Haha, I originally wanted to poison you so your father could taste the bitterness of losing a loved one!"

"Unexpectedly, the one who ended up being poisoned was this unrelated police officer!"

"But isn't this just like it was back then? Even if this policeman dies from poisoning, it doesn't matter to me, because he was also killed by you and your daughter..."

The groom, Gao Binjunyan, stood in the middle of the room, laughing loudly.

"Junyan...how did you become like this?"

Lily looked at today's groom with a pained expression.

"Oh!"

The groom's laughter suddenly stopped as he was punched hard and knocked to the ground.

"you……"

Gao Binjun stared blankly at Matsuda, who had withdrawn his fist and stood in front of Sayuri.

"Are you out of your mind?" Matsuda said coldly. "Can't you even tell whether the person who ran over your mother was Inspector Matsumoto or a fugitive?"

“Even if he didn’t hit my mother, if he had taken her to the hospital in a police car, she wouldn’t have died! But that man, her father! He coldly ignored her completely, only caring about chasing after the criminal…”

Gao Binjunyan shouted angrily!

Hearing the unusual noise, the numerous police officers who rushed over also heard his angry roar.

Inspector Matsumoto's expression shifted, as if he too was recalling that past event.

“…I’m sorry, I really didn’t know there was someone under the fugitive’s car at the time.” He said guiltily, “I was only focused on chasing the fugitive, and only found out afterwards that the fugitive’s car had hit other people. Later, I went to look for you at the address, but you had already moved by then.”

"Did you hear that clearly?"

Matsuda, supported by Sato, said coldly,

"Let's put aside the fact that Inspector Matsumoto didn't notice your mother at the time. Even if he did notice her but ignored her, that's his responsibility! What does it have to do with Sayuri?"

"In order to avenge your mother, instead of going after the criminal who directly killed her, or after Inspector Matsumoto, whom you believe failed to help your mother, you went after a woman who had absolutely nothing to do with your mother's death?"

"I think Inspector Matsumoto was absolutely right about one thing."

"Gao Binjunyan, you're a spineless piece of trash!"

"I……"

Perhaps Matsuda's question touched a raw nerve, and the groom, Takahiro Kobin, collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at his hands, speechless for a long time.

Just then, the siren of an ambulance sounded outside. Sato quickly helped Matsuda outside.

"...I'm going too!"

Xiaobaihe glanced at the groom lying on the ground, shook her head in disappointment, and was about to hurry after him out the door.

“Wait a minute, inside…” Gao Binjunyan suddenly said, “The lemon tea contains sodium hydroxide.”

"I see."

Xiaobaihe responded, but without even turning her head, she chased after him.

"Mr. Gao Binjunyan, I am now arresting you on suspicion of murdering a police officer!"

Inspector Megure took out handcuffs and handcuffed the groom.

What should have been a lively and joyous wedding has been ruined.

Sonoko suddenly said, "Officer Matsuda was right."

"What did you say?" Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion.

"This is the little rascal!"

Sonoko pointed at Conan with a look of disgust.

"When Officer Matsuda first saw him, he said, 'With this brat around, today's wedding probably won't go smoothly!'"

Haha, how can you blame me for this?

Conan rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, I hope Buddha will bless Officer Matsuda so that he is safe and sound!"

Xiao Lan clasped her hands together and prayed sincerely.

"Don't worry, someone as handsome as Officer Matsuda will definitely be fine! Definitely!"

The garden was making a lot of noise.

……

In the ambulance.

Xiaobaihe has already told the doctor about the sodium hydroxide.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault that you've been dragged into this."

Sayuri looked apologetically at Matsuda lying on the emergency stretcher.

"This isn't your responsibility,"

Matsuda shook his head, looking at Sato's worried face, and offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Miwako, I'll be fine."

"Yes, I believe you'll be alright! Just like three years ago!"

Sato, his eyes red, gripped Matsuda's hand tightly.

I'm really okay...

Seeing Sato's worried expression, Matsuda felt somewhat helpless.

He was telling the truth, even though he drank the lemon tea with sodium hydroxide added.

But Matsuda's body was enhanced by the system yesterday.

The moment he realized something was wrong with his body, Matsuda asked the system.

The system remained unusually calm in the face of his poisoning.

"Don't worry, with yesterday's physical enhancement, you'll only have a sore throat or stomach for a couple of days at most, nothing serious."

Sure enough, after arriving at the hospital and undergoing a process of inducing vomiting and lavaging his stomach, Matsuda was fine.

"Doctor, are you sure he's alright? He drank sodium hydroxide, though!" Sato asked.

"Do not worry,"

The doctor looked at the stomach examination report in his hand.

"It's possible that he ingested too little sodium hydroxide. Some of it was neutralized by stomach acid, and the rest only caused some burning in his esophagus. He'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."

After hearing the doctor's explanation, Sato and Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Officer Matsuda..."

Little Lily hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.

"You don't mean you want me to drop the blame, do you?"

Matsuda saw through her thoughts and directly shook his head in refusal.

"If that's the case, then you don't need to say anything more. The decision on how to deal with him is not mine, but the law. I believe the judge in court will give him a fair verdict!"

Chapter 49 The Reward Kiss

Over the next week, although Matsuda repeatedly stated that he was fine,

But Sato, blinded by concern, still forced him to stay in the hospital for seven days.

Sayuri also took care of Matsuda for seven days in the hospital.

In her words, Matsuda's poisoning was all because of her.

If she hadn't been determined to atone for her sins with her own life, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
