Chapter 582: Black…How did Matsuda survive?
Following a shadow, it flew along the wall to the balcony on the other side of the villa.
In the living room, Jinpei Matsuda opened his eyes from behind his sunglasses and moved inconspicuously, adapting to the clumsy feeling of having a physical body.
...After being a ghost for a long time, I suddenly gained a physical body. The first feeling was that my body was very heavy. I couldn't float around, and I couldn't continue to cling to the psychic for a means of transportation.
Just as I was thinking about it, a figure came over.
——Toru Amuro pulled out a pool cue from the pool cue rack next to him, weighed it in his hand, and smiled a cheerful smile that he used to pick up information, and invited, "Let's play a round?"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Before, Toru Amuro seemed to be keeping a close eye on Jiang Xia, preventing him from contacting the outside world, passing on information, or summoning possible accomplices.
But since some time ago, as he encountered acquaintances and cases one after another, Toru Amuro seemed to have accepted his fate.
Now, instead of observing "Jiang Xia", he was obviously paying more attention to "Kurosawa Sa" who suddenly appeared.
Jinpei Matsuda looked at Toru Amuro, then looked at the golf club next to him.
It instinctively recalled what Jiang Xia had said.
...Then I discovered that this careless owner didn't seem to have explained anything.
Having been a ghost for a long time, I haven't seen female ghosts doing any entertainment other than playing twirls for a long time... To be honest, Jinpei Matsuda is very interested in all the games in this living room.
And even though the shikigami was separated in half, this puppet is not in full condition now and is a little weaker than normal.
But Jinpei Matsuda clenched his fists, felt the strength, and felt that there was no problem in playing billiards. If he wanted to, he could even hit the table until it cracked.
So he picked up a cue, twirled it a few times, and walked to the table.
Toru Amuro looked at his actions and was stunned for a moment.
...It feels strangely familiar.
"……"Could the man in black whom I saw in the mountains before, who was highly suspicious of Matsuda Jinpei, really be the Kurosawa in front of me?
...If that's the case, is this "chance encounter" really just a chance encounter?
And the last time in the mountains...
Huh? Wait.
Let’s not talk about the possibility of humans surviving the explosion. Just the landslide that followed… He saw with his own eyes that “Matsuda” was buried by a huge amount of mud and rocks. How did this man survive?
Toru Amuro's heart was filled with doubts, expectations, vigilance and inquiries.
There was no change in his facial expression.
He moved the ball and tripod onto the table, and as he straightened them out, he asked casually, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
When Jinpei Matsuda heard this universal pick-up line, he glanced at him but said nothing.
Ghosts are born unable to speak, although they can mutter some sounds occasionally, which is fine when they are in ghost fetus form. But if they mutter in their current human form, it is really unimposing and looks very strange.
Although Jiang Xia didn't say it directly, Matsuda Jinpei had noticed it after such a long time - this young psychic seemed to be very concerned about Ma Jia's usual behavior, and especially liked to move closer to the direction of "mysterious and mature behind-the-scenes villain", perhaps because he thought it was cooler that way...
If at this time, it uses this vest that Jiang Xia likes very much and whispers to Amuro Toru...
Matsuda Jinpei pondered for a moment, and slowly emerged in his mind the scene of his ghost colleagues and Jiang Xia happily having a murderous party, with him being the only ghost locked up nearby, silently watching the feast in front of him...
“…”
It shuddered silently, and gave up the idea of "reminiscing with old classmates".
Then he clasped his hands in front of him, with the golf club in his arms, and leaned against the wall, like a quiet and cool villain, waiting for Toru Amuro to swing the ball.
Toru Amuro failed to strike up a conversation for the Nth time and sighed inwardly.
However, thinking about the fact that this man who called himself Kurosawa spoke very little along the way, I felt that this seemed normal.
He walked over and closed the window next to him, then began to think about other sources of information.
——When he met Matsuda Kurosawa, Matsuda was with Chima Kyouyo.
Judging from Chikan Jyoujiro's attitude towards him, the old man and the young seemed to know each other, and the old woman even had a vague feeling of caring for him... In addition, when the eagle swooped over just now, Matsuda seemed to have covered his chest.
In fact, just now, when Toru Amuro saw the action of covering his chest, he thought it was a feather that fell when the eagle swooped down. Matsuda saw it, so he grabbed it...
But the acquaintance of Chijian asked Matsuda if he had a heart problem. And when Matsuda took his hand away, there was no feather or anything like that in his hand... In other words, what Chijian said must be right. Matsuda in front of him seemed to be in poor health?
...If you are seriously injured in the explosion and then rescued, or if you accidentally fall from a height while trying to escape from a Ferris wheel equipped with an explosion, there will indeed be many sequelae.
“……”Tsk, what are you thinking about.
The policemen in the Metropolitan Police Department are not all useless, and the scene of Matsuda's death was a Ferris wheel in the commercial district. There should have been many citizens watching below. It is impossible for him to escape with serious injuries there without being reported.
And even if he was really rescued, it is impossible for a person to grow backwards and become younger than before - the current Matsuda... Kurosawa looks to be around twenty years old, and even with sunglasses and a mature suit, he looks at most as old as Matsuda Jinpei when he just graduated from the police academy.
Toru Amuro quickly ruled out some unrealistic assumptions.
…
But after playing billiard for a while, the man in black next to me looked more and more familiar.
In fact, if he didn't stare at the face and compare the details, Toru Amuro would almost think that Jinpei Matsuda had escaped from the cemetery and was standing next to him playing billiards as if nothing had happened.
...But why didn’t I feel this familiar feeling on the way here just now?
As Toru Amuro was thinking, he suddenly frowned and noticed something unusual.
——Before this, although Matsuda had always been very quiet, if I talked to him and no one else interrupted him, Matsuda would at least try to respond.
But now, Matsuda had no intention of answering at all...
...There's something strange.
Is there any connection between the fact that he “suddenly stopped talking” and the change in his body shape?
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro ignored the embarrassment of "asking questions but no one responding", spoke naturally, and asked a few more questions with perseverance.
Then I found that Matsuda answered some questions that could be answered with "yes" or "no" by nodding or shaking his head.
However, when asked questions that required him to speak in order to answer, he would pretend not to hear.
"..." It didn't seem like he was deliberately ignoring the person, but more like he really couldn't speak for some reason.
