But by the time the two arrived at the place Xiaolan had mentioned, the matter had already been resolved.
Conan stopped the criminals from committing the crime, and then he was moved by the child and eventually gave up the kidnapping.
"Alright, no matter what, it's good that the child is alright," Matsuda said, taking handcuffs out of his pocket.
"Then, Mr. Ogino, please come with me to the Metropolitan Police Department."
"Please wait!"
Mr. Ogawa, the father of the kidnapped child, tried to stop them.
“I understand his grief at losing his child, and Yongtai isn’t injured. Officer, I hope you can… let him go?”
"You don't want to hold him accountable?" Matsuda frowned.
“I’m here to help in a private capacity. If you insist, I can pretend I didn’t see it, but you should think carefully. This man just tried to kill your son.”
“I’ve thought it through, officer,” Mr. Ogawa said earnestly. “I hope you can let him go.”
"I'm sorry!" The prisoner, Ogino, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
"I really love Tomoya so much. I couldn't accept the pain of losing my son before, so I selfishly blamed everything on you..."
"An anomaly detected! A ghost yearning to see its father."
"Mr. Ogino could not accept the reality that his son, Tomoya, died after being operated on by Dr. Ogawa. He blamed Dr. Ogawa for his own mistake of taking the child to the hospital too late."
"So he tried to kill Dr. Ogawa's son, Eita, when he was five years old, to pay for his son's life."
"Although Mr. Ogino eventually repented, in fact, his son Tomoya has been staying by his father's side for the past two years by relying on his favorite toy."
"Tomoya doesn't have much time left. At most, he will lose his soul in 24 hours. Before that, help Tomoya and let him say his final goodbye to his father, Mr. Ogino. You will receive 1000 merit points as a reward from the system."
Matsuda frowned as he looked at the system in front of him, and asked himself the question: "Hey, how can I make ordinary people see ghosts?"
"Dust of Longing, 500 merit points per pack."
Dry……
Let me just say something simple: how can there be 1000 merit points? So that's the problem.
Following the system's prompts, Matsuda spent 500 merit points to buy a pack of Dust of Longing.
Dust of Longing: Allows ghosts and spirits (in the presence of blood relatives or those they miss) to temporarily return to their living state.
The effects will last for 24 hours after use.
"Then, what are you spacing out for?" Yumi gently nudged Matsuda.
"The matter is resolved, we should head back now."
"You go ahead, I have some things to do," Matsuda shook his head.
The matter was resolved perfectly; the Mori family left, and Yumi was assigned to patrol duties.
After they had all left, Matsuda went up and called out to Ogawa and Eita, who were about to leave.
"Mr. Ogawa, may I take a look at the toys that Mr. Ogino has sent to Eita over the past two years?"
"Of course, that's fine."
Although Xiaochuan was puzzled, he still agreed.
"Mr. Ogino, why don't you come too? There might be a pleasant surprise." Matsuda called out to Ogino, who was standing next to him.
“Officer, you’re joking. Tomoya’s dead, what surprise is there for me?” Ogino forced an ugly smile.
……
"The things Mr. Ogino sent over the past two years are all here,"
Ogawa pointed to the pile of toys on his son Eita's bedroom floor and said.
"Tomoya..."
When Ogino saw these belongings of her son, her eyes immediately reddened again.
Matsuda's gaze swept over the pile of toys, and he quickly noticed that one of the handheld game consoles had an unusually heavy yin energy.
He picked up the game console and shook it, and a faint, hazy ghostly figure floated out from it.
"Who is it?! Can't a person get any sleep?!"
After muttering a complaint, Ghost Shadow suddenly spotted Mr. Ogino and immediately ran over to him cheerfully.
"Dad, Dad, it's me, Tomoya..." The ghostly figure kept calling out as it circled around Mr. Ogino.
Unfortunately, Mr. Ogino couldn't see any of this.
It's already almost gone.
Looking at the ghostly figure's already extremely blurry body, Matsuda thought to himself.
"What's wrong, officer? Is there something wrong with this game console?" Ogawa asked, puzzled.
“No, this game console is working perfectly fine,” Matsuda shook his head. “By the way, Mr. Ogawa, I would like to spend some time alone with Mr. Ogino.”
After Ogawa left with his son Eita, Matsuda shoved the game console into Ogino's hands.
Then, under his puzzled gaze, he took out the Dust of Longing and sprinkled it on the ghost's head.
As specks of dust settled, a figure gradually emerged.
"This... Chi-ya!" Ogino excitedly stepped forward and hugged his son.
"Dad, you can see me now?" Tomoya exclaimed happily.
The father and son embraced and wept.
“This is the ghost of your son Tomoya,” Matsuda explained. “After Tomoya died, his soul remained in his favorite game console, staying by your side. Unfortunately, you eventually sent the game console to Mr. Ogawa’s son.”
"Tomoya can only exist in this world for twenty-four hours now. Before he completely disappears, spend some more time with him."
"Officer, can't you just..."
Ogino looked anxious,
Matsuda already knew what he was going to say next, and shook his head directly, saying, "Don't be too greedy."
"Feel sorry……"
Ogino gave a wry smile, looking at her son with reluctance.
"Dad, I'm already very content to be able to spend a little more time with you. Before, you were always busy with work and never played with me..." Zhiye complained.
"It's all Dad's fault!" Ogino hugged his son with heartache.
"Dad, I want to go to the amusement park. You've never taken me there before," Tomoya said expectantly.
"Okay! Dad will take you there now."
Ogino nodded immediately, and then, seemingly afraid that his son would disappear at any moment, he picked up Tomoya and rushed out of the room.
"Officer, is Mr. Ogino alright?"
Ogawa only saw Ogino rush out of the room with an excited expression, and he immediately became a little worried.
"Don't worry, it's alright. He just wants to say a final goodbye to his son," Matsuda explained softly.
His task is complete, and he has received 500 merit points.
Matsuda didn't actually feel much sympathy for Ogino.
He was so focused on work that he neglected his son's medical treatment.
He then took his anger out on others, and if Conan and his friends hadn't arrived in time, Ogawa's son, Eita, might have also fallen victim to his cruelty.
If it were for Ogino's sake, Matsuda would definitely not let him fulfill his wish, but what can he do when that child longs to see his father?
Matsuda actually fulfilled Tomoya's wish.
……
Chapter 17 The Sleeping Kogoro Mouri has finally made his debut!
In the days that followed, everything was calm in Tokyo.
Although various accidents occasionally occur, they are generally not under the jurisdiction of the First Investigation Division.
Just as Matsuda was getting bored and dozing off in his office, starting to wonder if the Grim Reaper's aura had entered its cooldown period, Yumi rushed into the office with a newspaper in hand.
"Matsuda, your rival has arrived!"
"What opponent?" Matsuda replied lazily.
"What happened?" Sato reached out and took the newspaper from Yumi's hand, reading softly, "The Sleeping Detective and the World's Greatest Night Festival Murder Case."
"Last night, a murder occurred in room 204 of the Hotel Tokeyama, about a 40-minute drive from the viewing area of Saitama Prefecture's Greatest Night Festival..."
No wonder there haven't been any cases in Tokyo these past few days; it turns out the Grim Reaper has gone to wreak havoc in Saitama Prefecture.
Moreover, the sleeping detective Kogoro Mouri has finally made his debut and become an idol.
Matsuda yawned, not paying much attention to it.
But the other people in the office weren't as calm as him.
"Mr. Mori actually has such abilities?" Sato looked puzzled.
She had met Mori a few times and always thought he was an unreliable person.
"Solving cases while asleep, that's practically a superpower, isn't it?" Takagi said innocently.
“Kogoro Mouri’s detective agency is in Tokyo. If he really has that kind of ability, he’ll be Matsuda’s formidable rival in the future!” Yumi said loudly, deliberately while looking at Matsuda.
Unfortunately, Matsuda had no interest in these things he already knew, but the other police officers in the office started discussing them enthusiastically.
"Mouri? How could he possibly have that kind of ability?"
“That bastard always led us astray during every case investigation in Class One.”
"Aside from his marksmanship, it's hard to find any other redeeming qualities in that guy."
……
Compared to the public's praise for the sleeping detective, many of the police officers in Section 1 had worked with Kogoro Mouri before and did not immediately believe the newspaper's contents.
