"Hiro?"

Jinpei Matsuda was stunned for a moment. He looked at the familiar face of the man in front of him. The days in the police academy seemed to be replayed in his mind. The gentle smile of the young man at that time gradually overlapped with the smile on the face of the man in front of him who looked much more mature, but then slowly separated.

After seven years of separation, there was no news from this classmate in the police academy. They knew that Jingguang might be carrying out some mysterious mission with Furuya, and they were even prepared for the worst. Fortunately, he returned safely, but they didn't expect that this would be the scene when they met again.

Matsuda Jinpei hesitated and moved his head in the young man's tolerant blue cat eyes. Then he burst into joy after realizing it belatedly. He smiled as if he was back in the police academy again. He walked up to Morobushi Kagemitsu and patted his shoulder with a familiar look, saying with a smile:

"Long time no see."

Morofushi Kagemitsu hugged him back and gently patted Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder, his words expressing endless emotion and relief: "Long time no see."

After experiencing life and death, he was so grateful to be able to see these people safely again.

Maori Kogoro seemed to not understand the atmosphere and touched the back of his head: "Do you know each other?"

He yawned lazily again, happy to be the boss who shirked his responsibilities: "That's great, please stay here and look after this guy, I have to go back to pick up Xiaolan, I'm leaving now."

He didn't care about the response of the people in the ward. He looked at Conan with empty eyes, then looked away crisply. The rising ending tone clearly expressed his happiness: "Let's go——"

Conan:...

Please, uncle, could you not show your relief so obviously?

The bad mood caused by Sugawa Gen's hospitalization disappeared unconsciously when he saw his long-lost colleague. Matsuda Jinpei's expression softened and he smiled, "Are you here to see this guy too?"

They all knew very well that they had never mentioned anything about Morofushi Jingguang's disappearance in the past few years, and it was also their tacit understanding.

As for another colleague who has not yet returned, they all ignored this topic at the same time, thinking that it would be pointless to say more and would only add to their troubles.

"Yes, Morobushi Jingguang smiled and asked doubtfully, "Zhenping, are you on good terms with Xiaoyuan?"

"Ah, so-so. Matsuda Jinpei glanced gloomily at Sugawa Gen who was lying obediently on the hospital bed, and his words showed a strong disdain.

"This guy is the troublesome brother I told you about before."

Sugawa Gen:?

Morofushi Kagemitsu smiled and looked at Sugawa Gen, who suddenly widened his eyes and looked unconvinced, "Really?"

This reminded him of something. When he was in the police academy, Matsuda Jinpei had mentioned more than once that he had a restless, troubled, clingy brother who followed him around like a little dog. Although he always complained, one could clearly feel Matsuda's gentleness and tolerance from his words. Rather than complaining, it was more like showing off to his favorite brother from time to time.

Who made them all the only sons or the youngest sons in their families?

It sounds like they have a close relationship, but they didn't know about this. Even Kenji, who was a childhood friend, didn't know about it, and Hagiwara Kenji was jealous.

Matsuda Jinpei walked to the bedside and silently held down Sugawa Gen who wanted to sit up. "You, it seems, have a good relationship with this guy. Why haven't I heard him talk about it?"

Morofushi Jingguang closed the door and said with a smile, "He is also a good brother. It is normal that Matsuda doesn't know. I met Xiaoyuan before I left. I have to thank Xiaoyuan for helping me keep it a secret all these years."

Hiding from everyone?

Matsuda Jinpei: ..

He glanced at Sugawa Gen who had suddenly stopped struggling on the bed, ignored his soft, ingratiating smile, and raised his hand to tap the curly-haired man's head lightly.

It was rare to see Sugawa Gen looking so nervous. Morofushi Kagemitsu chuckled, "But I feel relieved now that Matsuda is here."

"What?"

"I just came back and I have some formalities to deal with recently. I'll have to trouble Matsuda to go and take care of Xiao Yuan for the matter on Friday."

Zhufu Jingguang paused and explained:

"Xiao Yuan is going to Huang Hun Villa on Friday to investigate something. I'm afraid there might be danger there."

"Wait a moment, Huang Hun Villa?"

Matsuda Jinpei interrupted him in surprise, his expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Am I right? It's here?"

"Yes," Zhu Fu Jingguang said in a daze, "What's wrong? Is there any problem here?"

This is a serious problem. Why should we go to such a place to investigate, such as this old house in the mountains where a fatal crime happened?

And according to information from the public security department, a siege operation may be carried out there on Friday.

Matsuda Jinpei frowned slightly, then gradually relaxed his brows, "There is something wrong, but it's not a big problem."

He looked at Morobushi Jingguang and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

Morofushi Kagemitsu's eyelids twitched. Matsuda Jinpei rarely spoke with such a serious expression. But with such an expression, he felt uneasy for a moment.

Words like this are always a sign of tragedy in TV dramas, and it always feels like something bad is going to happen.

He felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing, so he threw the inappropriate thoughts out of his mind and said, "Thank you, Matsuda, for your hard work."

"What's the matter with hard work? Matsuda Jinpei disagrees. This is too distant. But when he saw that Morobushi Kagemitsu was neatly dressed and stood there quietly without any sign of sitting down, he understood.

"If you have something to do, go ahead and do your thing. I'm here, don't worry."

Zhufu Jingguang did not refuse, and repeatedly told Qichuan Yuan to be careful before leaving.

"If you have time, make an appointment with your second year graduate student and the class monitor to get together."

Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded, and before the door closed, he said affirmatively: "Definitely!"

Conan lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and tugged at the corner of Matsuda Jinpei's clothes with curiosity, "Hey, Officer Matsuda, is there any problem with the Huanghun Annex?"

Matsuda Jinpei looked at him, then glanced at the little girl who was also sitting next to him with her ears perked up and at ease. Thinking of the extraordinary wisdom these two little kids had shown before, he didn't intend to hide it.

"There was a massacre here. More than 10 years ago, the owner of the villa invited bigwigs from all walks of life to be his guests. But overnight, corpses were everywhere. Because the dead were important figures from all walks of life, some dark factors were involved, and the incident has been covered up ever since."

He frowned and paused, "I just didn't expect that after so many years, this villa still exists in the world."

That dark night, which symbolized the dark transactions of sex, money and power, and exposed the disgusting hypocritical faces of those glamorous officials, should have been annihilated from the world along with that crime. However, no one would have thought that this annex, which symbolized crime, would stubbornly survive in this world through the long river of time.

Conan nodded seriously and asked again: "So Officer Matsuda is worried that something like this will happen again?"

"That's not the case," Matsuda Jinpei denied. Even if Conan was smart, he couldn't understand the deeper level. He didn't want to say more. "Leave this matter to the adults, don't worry about it, kid."

Conan got anxious and immediately chose to act coquettishly. He rolled over and grabbed Matsuda Jinpei's sleeve in a cute way, looking as obedient as possible.

"I want to hear it, Officer Matsuda, please tell me—"

Haibara Aisikawa Gen: ..

I know you want to figure it out, but you don't have to be that way.

Matsuda Jinpei looked at the innocent little boy beside his legs. He didn't know why he suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He silently changed the subject and stared at the pale-faced Sugawa Gen:

"By the way, I haven't settled the score with you yet. I've told you so many times to be careful. Did you ignore my words?"

He raised his hand to stop Qichuan Yuan from speaking, "Don't say anything. I don't believe a word you say now. You are already on my blacklist. I'm going with you this time. I want to see how you take care of your safety."

Gen Sugawa silently swallowed his tricky words. He understood that Matsuda just wanted to divert Conan's attention. He just had to bear with it.

“Ahem…”

Suddenly, a man's harsh cough was heard. The man on another bed in the room moved slightly and slowly opened his dark green eyes.

Matsuda Jinpei's body trembled slightly. He turned his head warily to look at the man wrapped in gauze on the bed next to him. When he met those eyes that were like beasts and emitted a cold and dark light even though he was seriously injured, he felt a chill at his back. It was dangerous. This man was definitely not an ordinary person!

Had his vigilance been so low that he didn't even notice there was such a dangerous person in the ward?

But maybe it was because his whole body of gauze blended in with the ward, he consoled himself.

But soon, all his thoughts froze in his mind, and he looked at Qichuan Yuan suspiciously as this little ancestor who had never taken care of anyone was skillfully feeding people water.

He looked back and forth between the two men in confusion. When did the Qichuan family get to know this kind of person?

"You're awake," Gen Saikawa struggled to sit up from the bed and brought the cup of water to his mouth with his other intact hand.

Akai Shuichi raised his head slightly, and followed his movements very naturally and skillfully. A cool and moist feeling quickly soothed the hot and dry taste in his mouth. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his voice was a little low:

"You guys are having such a good time chatting, I can't fall asleep even if I want to."

"Feel sorry."

Qichuan Yuan lowered his eyes, "You are seriously injured. Rest for a while. We will pay attention to you."

Akai Shuichi shook his head slightly, "Forget it, I can't fall asleep for a while."

"I heard you guys were discussing Dusk Villa, correct?"

Shuichi Akai slowly raised his hand. He looked at Genki Sikawa who subconsciously walked to his side and leaned over slightly as he did before. With a smile in his eyes, he gently rubbed Genki Sikawa's hairy head.

But there was a hint of worry and an unquestionable tone in his words: "Don't go."

Matsuda Jinpei narrowed his eyes and cautiously pulled Sugawa Gen away, "Who are you and why do you know about the Huanghun Villa?"

Apart from the police, only the mastermind behind the tragedy knows the truth about the Huanghun Villa incident which has been completely sealed off.

How did this man know this? There is absolutely no such person in the police. The only possibility is...

Although this man was seriously injured and lying in bed, Matsuda Jinpei had already subconsciously prepared for a fight. This man was most likely a criminal.
