"So, you think there's something wrong with the little Sora you've always known?" Jinpei Matsuda looked at Kenji Hagiwara who ran to his apartment and occupied the sofa, and extracted the key points from the other's complaints that he had been making for a long time.

"Hmm." Kenji Hagiwara shrank into the sofa as if he had lost his temper. The few documents he brought were scattered on the floor. Jinpei Matsuda picked them up casually and took a look at them.

"Is it related to the Black Organization that we investigated before?" Although he asked this, Hagiwara Kenji did not take any action without the knowledge of Matsuda Jinpei. Combining some intelligence and the other party's behavior of going out to gather information during the holidays, he understood the problem.

"You checked the real traces of Xiachuan and his wife, and it seems that the conclusion is not good?"

"Although I didn't find any connection with the organization, I also didn't find many traces of their lives." Hagiwara Kenji smiled bitterly and said, "I found the residents who had moved away from the house, and they didn't remember the Natsukawa couple."

"But the information in the Metropolitan Police Department is clearly recorded."

At this point, Hagiwara Kenji stood up, walked to the window and lit a cigarette. The smoke gently dispersed, covering his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked a little depressed. But in the blink of an eye, the cigarette in his hand was extinguished by a screwdriver. Matsuda Jinpei said mercilessly:

"You can smoke, but not in my house."

Hagiwara Kenji could only throw away his cigarette with tears in his eyes and continued, "The internal data of the Metropolitan Police Department was artificially altered, or there is some other reason..."

"So, what are you going to do?" Matsuda Jinpei was obviously a little annoyed by his childhood friend who had grown up with him and was talking in a roundabout way without stating the purpose, so he asked directly.

"I'm thinking about getting a promotion." Hagiwara Kenji said directly, "The current authority I have is too limited to check. There are no records related to the organization, let alone,"

"There may be a problem up there." Hagiwara Kenji waved his hands helplessly, still looking unserious. Matsuda Jinpei, who was familiar with the other person's every move, knew from the other person's eyes that he had made up his mind. He could only ask:

"I remember you were bothered by all that?"

"That's right, but we can't count on you, Xiao Zhenping. With your personality, you will definitely be put in a sack," Hagiwara Kenji immediately teased upon hearing this: "Although the class monitor is very good, he and Natalie are getting married."

"So I had no choice but to step up and decide to get a promotion!"

Only this guy could describe the promotion in Japan's corrupt and rigid system as being forced. The only listener didn't think there was anything wrong with this point at all. He just nodded and said:

"Then go ahead."

"Xiao Jinpei, you are worthy of being my good brother. You support me so much!" Hagiwara Kenji widened his eyes, and then he seemed to be moved and wanted to throw himself into the other's arms. Matsuda Jinpei dodged skillfully and continued: "It would be best if you could be promoted to the Superintendent of Police as soon as possible. Then, my dream would come true."

"In order to fulfill your dream quickly, you must help me get promoted, Xiao Zhenping." Hagiwara Kenji patted the other person's shoulder seriously, with a serious look on his face, and then suddenly asked:

"Oh, right, Conan, what do you think about this being Kudo Shinichi?"

Matsuda Jinpei paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's too obvious. I can't bear to watch it."

"Let's go find him and check his information." Hagiwara Kenji said as he took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and threw it to Matsuda. He then took another bottle, opened it and took two sips. "If it weren't for the fingerprints, it would be hard to imagine his health problems. My worldview is shattered."

"Although we have not found any evidence that his physical condition was caused by the organization, given that he has been asking about the organization, it is almost certain."

"It's too obvious," Jinpei Matsuda suddenly thought of something while drinking his drink and asked, "He's living with Senior Mori now, right? Should we just go over there and take him away to ask him?"

"No need to go through so much trouble. Conan can be caught at any crime scene." Hagiwara Kenji happily decided on the Conan capture plan, and then took Koumaran to start tonight's midnight snack time.

———

"Officer Hagiwara, is there anything I can help you with?" Conan, who had just walked out from behind the unconscious Kogoro Mouri and was relieved that the victim was awake and not seriously injured, was suddenly stopped by an arm from behind. He turned to look at the pair of smiling purple eyes and asked helplessly.

"I suddenly feel like it's fate that I meet you today. Xiao Zhenping and I are going to a barbecue restaurant together. Do you want to join us?" Hagiwara invited him, saying, "Natasha has been accompanying the squad leader every day since he was injured, so we had to bring someone along to make up the number."

"I just..." Before Conan could say anything to refuse, Hagiwara Kenji picked him up, looked at Xiaolan, waved his hand and said:

"Xiaolan, Conan doesn't have class today, I'm borrowing him."

The suave police officer winked after he finished speaking, then stuffed the detective into the car, said hello to the people in the team and drove away in a dashing manner. The whole process was so natural that after the other party disappeared, the subordinates of Section 2 realized that this police captain had left the rest of the follow-up work to themselves. They immediately felt extremely resentful. Although working with Officer Hagiwara was promising, his attitude really made them want to punch him.

How did the legendary Inspector Matsuda endure this?!

"I'm sorry, Officer Hagiwara just likes Conan too much..." The newly recruited female police officer looked at Xiaolan with an apologetic look on her face, and said, trying hard to suppress the blue veins on her forehead that were about to pop out: "We will definitely supervise him to send Conan back as soon as possible."

"Hahaha, it's okay," Xiaolan couldn't help but smile when she heard that, and said softly, "Conan also likes Officer Hagiwara very much, and I also hope that Officer Hagiwara can help discipline Conan. He will go to the crime scene anyway."

"I will definitely tell them!" The policewoman tried hard to sound less guilty, but with Inspector Hagiwara's personality, would he really not have the opposite effect and teach the child badly? And the way he just kidnapped a child so skillfully, how should I write the report later?

———

"Officer Hagiwara, you suddenly invite me to have barbecue, what are you doing?" Conan sighed and asked helplessly while sitting in the back seat. He was not nervous about Officer Hagiwara's sudden kidnapping. Officer Hagiwara was a very magical person, and few people would feel uncomfortable around him, although his invitation method was a bit special.

"Conan, has anyone told you that you're not good at acting?" The man sitting in the front seat of the cockpit couldn't see his expression, but his usually gentle voice made Conan feel a little cold.

"Officer Hagiwara, what are you talking about?" Conan tried to act innocent and asked carefully, "What kind of acting?"

“Isn’t this the beginning again?”

Kenji Hagiwara saw the detective's nervous expression through the rearview mirror and tried hard to restrain himself from laughing out loud. He had installed a camera in the back seat before he came, so he would probably have something to "threaten" the great detective soon.

Conan naturally didn't know this. His brain had already started to work frantically after freezing for a moment. At this time, what Hagiwara Kenji said basically hinted that he already knew his identity, but he didn't say it clearly. Was he testing him? However, Officer Hagiwara was not a member of the organization, so even if he was known, it wouldn't be a big problem. Thinking of this, he reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief. However, the other party's next sentence instantly sent the detective to hell.

"I didn't expect that the savior of the Japanese police, high school detective Shinichi Kudo, is still alive. Is this how they do things?"

This sentence made the detective's brain freeze instantly. What does this sentence mean?

Kenji Hagiwara was already getting into the role at this point. As for the relationship between the detective and the organization, they speculated that it was most likely that the person was originally intended to be killed but some special reaction occurred that led to the current situation, and the organization was probably unaware of it. This would explain why the detective could still move freely, and the other party's expression made it clear that their guess was correct.

"But I really didn't expect you to become like this. No wonder they didn't notice."

This sentence broke the last bit of hope in Conan's mind. The worst-case scenario made him calm down and asked, "Officer Hagiwara, are you one of them?"

His voice inevitably trembled a little. For the detective, the police officer he trusted so much turned out to be an enemy. This realization made his azure blue eyes dim a little.

"What do you think..." Hagiwara Kenji had already arrived at the destination. He just stopped the car and turned around to say something when he met the detective's eyes. At that moment, his long-lost conscience trembled. Before he could explain, someone knocked on the glass from outside the car window and signaled to open the window. It was Matsuda Jinpei.

As the glass window slowly fell, a fist hit the handsome face without any hesitation, causing Conan in the back seat to shudder and shout subconsciously:

"Officer Matsuda, he is..."

"That's right, so I'll drag him away and beat him up first." Matsuda Jinpei nodded seriously and admitted it. He opened the car door and tried to pull the man out, which frightened Hagiwara Kenji and he shouted:

"Wait, wait, you're really here, not... you, Conan, Conan save me." Hagiwara Kenji thought about the acting process just now and maintained communication with Matsuda throughout the whole process. He already knew the reason for being beaten this time. He could only turn his head to look at the detective in despair and shouted: "I was lying to you, it was just acting, please help me first, emergency!"

Conan's eyes changed from initial fear to a trance of seeing through the truth, and then to a kind of numbness without any waves. He sat in the back seat, gradually raised a somewhat twisted smile, and said to Matsuda Jinpei:

"Excuse me, Officer Matsuda. I'll be waiting here."

Obviously, the detective was resentful of being deceived just now.
