Her face flushed, and she pushed Matsuda away from her embrace.
"You brat, it's all your fault for getting in the way!"
Enraged, Matsuda smacked Conan on the head without any rash.
Conan clutched his head, the bump on his head throbbing painfully.
But he was secretly delighted. "Xiao Lan and I didn't dare to recognize each other. Matsuda, you bastard, how dare you show off your love in front of me! You deserve to be interrupted!"
“By the way,” Matsuda looked at the short-haired girl, “how did you know we were both police officers?”
"How could I not know the famous detective of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Matsuda Jinpei?"
The girl brushed a strand of short hair that fell beside her cheek and said with an ambiguous smile,
"As for this policewoman, I only overheard her discussing the case with you just now, so I'm just guessing."
"Young Master?" What a strange self-reference!
Just as Matsuda was about to speak to the girl who called herself strange, he suddenly heard a flamboyantly dressed, fat woman scream from the orca pool below.
"what happened?"
Matsuda, Sato, Conan, and the short-haired girl all stood up together.
Below, by the pool, stood the plump woman—the lucky audience member chosen for a close encounter with the orcas.
It seems to be arguing with the female trainer of the orcas.
The fat woman kept pointing at the other three selected audience members and hurling insults at them.
A man with brightly colored hair seemed about to attack the fat woman, but Xiaolan stopped him.
After noticing that Ran seemed upset, Conan immediately ran downstairs.
Ignoring the staff's attempts to stop him, he crawled through the railing and ran to the edge of the pool.
Matsuda and Sato followed behind Conan, grabbed a staff member who was trying to chase after him, and showed him the police handbook.
"What happened over there?"
"It seems a young lady's necklace went missing; it's said to be worth tens of millions," the staff member explained.
"A necklace worth tens of millions is missing; this must be a theft," Sato asked. "Have you reported it to the police yet?"
"Yes, we already called." The staff member nodded. "The police said someone would be here soon."
Chapter 71 The Girl Who Hates the Police
"Let's not get involved in the Chiba Prefecture case for now," Matsuda said to Sato in a low voice.
He and Sato were only temporarily there to assist with Mori's murder case; they shouldn't overstep their bounds or meddle in other people's business.
"What, can't the famous Inspector Matsuda even handle such a small case?"
The short-haired girl, who had somehow joined them, curled her lips into a mocking smile.
"It seems that even the famous detectives advertised by the Metropolitan Police Department are nothing special. I am truly disappointed!"
Matsuda frowned at the girl's provocation, but before he could say anything...
Sato was already furious: "What nonsense are you spouting! Matsuda and I can easily solve this case!"
After saying that, Sato dragged Matsuda over the guardrail and headed towards Ran and the others.
Later, the short-haired girl said something to the staff and was also let in.
"Why are you so agitated?" Matsuda asked Sato, looking at him strangely.
“You’re the face of our Metropolitan Police Department now, how could we let that guy say that!” Sato said angrily. “What that girl said was clearly saying that all police officers are useless, of course I’m angry.”
“I think she said that on purpose,” Matsuda said.
"What's the reason?" Sato asked.
“Just a gut feeling,” Matsuda said, scratching his head.
"Hmph, I think you only have that intuition because she's pretty," Sato retorted irritably.
"Is that girl pretty? She looks like a tomboy!"
Matsuda feigned confusion.
How can you praise other women's beauty in front of your girlfriend!
This is common sense!
"Officer Matsuda, it's probably not a good idea to comment on someone's appearance behind their back,"
The short-haired girl heard what Matsuda said, glanced at Sato, and smiled, pursing her lips.
"Besides, isn't Officer Matsuda's girlfriend pretty much the same as me? They both look like tomboys."
Matsuda didn't refute, because the girl was right; she and Sato did indeed resemble each other, not in appearance, but in their aura.
Both she and Sato are the kind of girls with short hair who look dashing and spirited.
The three approached the tourists and trainers who were arguing.
"What happened?" Sato asked.
“Officer Sato, this is Ms. Tanaka. The jewelry necklace she was wearing is missing,” Ran said.
"My husband bought that for me in Tokyo just the day before yesterday!"
Dressed in her finest attire, Tanaka held her chin high, utterly lacking in manners.
He pointed directly at the three tourists, including Xiaolan, who had just come down to interact with the orca, as well as the orca's trainer.
"When I came down into the water, the necklace was definitely still around my neck. How come it's gone after I went into the water and interacted with the orcas? These people must have stolen it!"
"Ms. Tanaka, please do not jump to conclusions before the matter has been thoroughly investigated."
Matsuda has never had much patience for women who are both ugly and pretentious.
After saying that with a stern face, he continued to ask.
"How can you be sure that when you came down, the jewelry necklace was still around your neck, and that someone saw it?"
"Yes, Ms. Tanaka was indeed wearing a necklace when she came over,"
The female orca trainer confirmed this.
"Because when getting close to orcas, we are worried that if some small items such as jewelry fall into the pool, they may be accidentally eaten by the orcas. So we ask the audience to take off the small items they are wearing and put them in the cabinet over there."
"So, the jewelry necklace went missing after Ms. Tanaka put it in the closet?"
Matsuda asked, "Who else went near that cabinet at the time?"
"The three of us, along with the trainer, all approached her,"
Xiaolan explained,
"I was putting my wallet and phone in there, Mr. Shimoda seemed to be putting his ring in there, and Mr. Matsushima just put the whole bag in the locker."
"...Is this gentleman?"
Matsuda pointed at Matsushima, who was dressed quite seductively in a tank top and shorts, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh, come on, I'm a man!"
Mr. Matsushima, with his delicate fingers raised, blinked his eyes, which were covered in false eyelashes, and replied in a coquettish tone.
amount……
Matsuda's Adam's apple bobbed as he forced himself to stay nauseous and didn't vomit.
"By the way, Ms. Tanaka's necklace is lost, so what about Mr. Shimoda's ring?" Matsuda asked.
"I haven't lost my ring. If anyone dares to take it, I'll chop them up!"
Mr. Shimoda, with his brightly colored hair, twirled a skull ring on his hand and spoke menacingly.
Well, I doubt anyone would steal a ring like that...
Matsuda shook his head.
"By the way, why is the trainer going near the cabinet? She probably doesn't need to put anything in there, right?"
"The trainer was explaining some precautions to us when approaching orcas," Xiaolan replied.
"Don't any of your lockers have lockers?"
Sato inspected the cabinet next to the orca pool; each of the small compartments in the cabinet only had a bolt.
“Because the orca pool is right next to it, if the key is in the locker, it could be accidentally swallowed by the orcas if it falls into the water,” the female trainer said helplessly. “Besides, this locker faces all the audience members and nothing has ever been stolen from it.”
“Then let’s do a body search,” Sato suggested.
There were only five of you by the pool just now.
"If we exclude Ms. Tanaka, the owner, then there are only four people left: Ran, Mr. Shimoda, Mr. Matsushima, and the trainer."
"It just so happens that Ran and the trainer, Mr. Shimoda and Mr. Matsushima, if you each search each other, you should be able to find the lost necklace easily."
“Actually, Ms. Tanaka already conducted a thorough search just now,” the trainer explained, “but we couldn’t find the gem necklace on any of the four of us or in the cabinet.”
"Yeah, this woman was touching him all over, it was disgusting..." Mr. Matsushima complained, twisting his waist.
"The necklace isn't on you, nor is it in the cabinet. Could it be that Ms. Tanaka forgot to take it off, and she went directly into the water with the necklace on, and then the necklace broke and was eaten by the orca?"
Sato looked at the large dolphin beside him, who was leaning against the edge of the pool and grinning as if it were laughing.
“Impossible!” The trainer shook her head hastily. “I check each tourist carefully before they get close to the orca, just in case they bring something down with them and the orca accidentally eats it.”
"The direction this cabinet faces is visible to all the spectators around. Just now, there were indeed only the three of them, and this female trainer, who approached the cabinet!"
Chapter 72 Places Where Transvestites Can Hide Things
The short-haired girl who had come with Matsuda and the other man adjusted her sunglasses and suddenly spoke.
"Officers, now it's time to show your true police skills. As long as you take these four people away and interrogate them continuously for 24 hours, you will definitely find the criminal."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Without evidence, how could we police do such a thing!" Sato retorted angrily.
