Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

I have status, you don't; I can break the law at will, but you must obey it.

This kind of comparison is very addictive, making people feel that the earth really revolves around them.

Pisco looked down on Gin because he considered himself a veteran and a pillar of the organization.

Without him, the organization wouldn't have so much overt financial activity, nor such a convenient scope of operations.

They must respect themselves and their own status; that's his idea.

However, the pain in his arm now made him clearly feel the policeman's stubbornness.

The other person might actually break their own arm.

Chapter 271 My Own Son, Ireland

Pisco was willing to give anything for status and money, including his life.

But now that he has everything, he can't bear to part with his body.

"Stop! I'll contact Ireland right now! You can have anything you want, just let go!"

Pisco could no longer endure the pain and fear.

Who is he?

He was Kenzo Masuyama of Tokyo, respected by the people, with more money than he could spend, and had no reason to hold a grudge against such a low-ranking policeman.

As long as we leave this place, we can fire him anytime. Now is not the time to be angry...

Pisco comforted himself like this, stretching his shoulders that Matsuda had released.

Then he took out his phone, ready to call Ireland.

"Wait a minute."

Matsuda stopped Pisco's actions, then pointed to the top of his head.

"Let's go up and find a secluded place."

They didn't reach the roof, but they found a storage room.

Matsuda, without any hesitation, pushed Pisco inside and told him to contact Ireland.

Soon after, Ireland arrived, but he didn't bring Ai with him; he came alone.

"You're Ireland?"

Matsuda raised an eyebrow, his mockery unabashed.

"This is different from what Pisco asked for, isn't it? It's a shame he just praised you for being as obedient as his son."

"It wasn't Pisco who called me here, but you, Matsuda Jinpei."

Ireland's tone was calm, as if he hadn't noticed the sarcasm in Matsuda's words.

"Ireland, you're not even listening to me anymore?"

Pisco saw that Ireland was coming alone and was even making provocative remarks.

Fearing that Matsuda would turn his anger on him, he quickly preemptively reprimanded him.

"Matsuda Jinpei, release Pisco, or I won't tell you where that little girl is."

Ireland ignored Pisco and just stared at Matsuda.

"Are you trying to negotiate with me? Pisco's old bones can't take this much. What if he dies?"

Matsuda, expressionless, reached out and grabbed Pixar's arm, twisting it forcefully, causing Pixar to scream in pain.

“You’re a policeman,” Ireland said, unmoved. “You would torture him for that little girl, but even for that little girl, you wouldn’t kill him, because you’re a policeman!”

Ireland is not simply a henchman hired by Pisco; he has the ability to discern things.

He had seen reports about Matsuda many times in the past.

Putting aside his crime-solving work, the few negative reports about Matsuda were all based on righteous indignation.

Although it is legally wrong, countless people applaud it out of common sense.

From these reports, Ireland can be certain that

Matsuda is definitely a conscientious and responsible Metropolitan Police Department detective.

Such a person might, out of righteous indignation, beat up a criminal.

But they would never actually kill the criminal, let alone with another person involved.

Ireland's answer immediately made Matsuda narrow his eyes.

This is going to be tricky!

Are we really going to take action against that old geezer Pisco and force him to submit?

“You can take your time to think about it, but right now Gin and Vodka are heading that way,” Ireland said.

Gin?

This guy is really persistent!

Matsuda frowned and reached for the pistol on his lower back.

"Ireland? That certainly takes guts. What would you do if I killed Pisco?"

"If he dies, I will die."

Ireland leaned against the wall, making no move to draw his gun.

But his ten fingers were already taut and straight, staring intently at Matsuda.

Matsuda turned sideways, pressed against the other wall, and walked out step by step.

Saving lives is the priority; there's no point in continuing the stalemate.

With Pisco's murder weapon, the pistol, in hand, he can be convicted at any time.

He can be wanted even if he runs away, but what if something happens to Ai?

People can't be brought back to life after they've died.

As soon as he turned the corner, Matsuda sped off immediately.

Ireland has already told him the location: a wine cellar on the hotel rooftop.

Ai was locked up there, waiting for Gin to appear.

......

When Matsuda, filled with trepidation, broke down the door to the wine cellar...

Seeing Ai Haibara holding a bottle of baijiu and tilting her head back to gulp it down, he was speechless.

I'm so worried and anxious about you, I'm working my butt off, and you're secretly hiding away drinking?

Should I spank him? Should I spank him? Or should I spank him?

After seeing Ai drink the liquor and collapse on the ground,

Matsuda rushed forward and immediately noticed that her cheeks were extremely red. He reached out and touched them, and they were burning hot!

"You have a fever, and you still steal alcohol to drink?" Matsuda scolded.

"It was Kudo's idea. He said it would allow me to escape from this wine cellar."

Once Ai saw that it was Matsuda, she immediately lost her guard and began to feel dizzy and disoriented.

"Conan?"

Matsuda put Ai on his back and talked as he walked.

"How do I contact you?"

His glasses are with me.

After Ai finished speaking, she felt as if her body was about to explode and couldn't help but groan.

They couldn't go very far in their current state. Matsuda looked back and saw that Ai was almost fainting, her whole body slumped on his back.

Moreover, leaving now is certainly not the best choice. Pisco already knows Ai's identity, and there is a high possibility that Ireland also knows.

If we leave them alone, Ai will definitely face endless troubles in the future. We can't keep hiding forever.

We must take care of Pisco and Jyn before they meet.

Matsuda narrowed his eyes, silently calculating in his mind.

Pisco will definitely come looking for him again, because once the organization finds out that Pisco's identity has been exposed, he will become the second Shigehiko Tobuchi.

Ireland was his confidant and would not betray him.

In other words, Pisco, who believes that the two of them can handle him, is not in a hurry to join forces with Gin.

Should we wait for him to attack, and then use self-defense to kill him?

While pondering the situation, Matsuda searched for a safe place to settle Ai.

"what......"

Ai felt as if her body was about to explode, and she couldn't help but groan in pain.

Matsuda found a corner storage room where there happened to be a cushion, and placed Ai on it.

Touching Ai's increasingly feverish body, he was momentarily at a loss, wanting to find some water but not daring to leave her side.

Although Conan transformed in the same way last time, is this thing really reliable?

Seeing Ai's increasingly distressed state, Matsuda just wanted to curse Conan to death.

As he rummaged through drawers and cupboards looking for something to cool him down,

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a tearing sound of fabric came from behind.

Uh, really?

Matsuda paused for a moment, then quickly turned around, and for a moment, he actually wanted to laugh out loud!

Because Ai grew bigger, an accident happened, and that accident was actually a short skirt!
