Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

Matsuda clicked his tongue in amazement as he unscrewed a few lipsticks and examined them.

In his view, they were almost the same color.

But the labels on the lipsticks are all different.

"Reiko doesn't have this much stuff..."

The rows of cosmetics before him reminded Matsuda of Prosecutor Kujo, with whom he had lived for a few days.

Jiutiao, who is always single-mindedly devoted to her work, also lives an extremely simple life.

While women's cosmetics are available, they consist of only a few essential items.

Unlike Terumi Hoshino, who has a huge collection of all kinds of women.

"She usually seems like a cool, aloof beauty, but I never expected her to be so vain in private."

Matsuda clicked his tongue twice, amused. There were just too many miscellaneous cosmetics; he couldn't be bothered to distinguish them.

So she simply packed everything on the dressing table into her backpack.

After packing all that, the suitcase and backpack Matsuda brought were completely full.

"It should be about right. Even if something is still missing, we can just buy new ones later."

Carrying a suitcase and carrying a backpack, Matsuda walked out of Hoshino Terumi's apartment and was about to lock the door when a sharp shout from a man suddenly rang out behind him.

"Don't move!"

Immediately afterwards, a cold, tubular object was pressed against Matsuda's lower back.

Is this... a pistol?

Am I being robbed?

Matsuda felt a little strange.

It's worth noting that Terumi Hoshino lives in a very high-end apartment.

The security facilities here are not for the residents.

Or, someone without a key simply cannot get in.

"Put everything down! No unnecessary movements!" the robber behind me warned. "If I misunderstand and the gun goes off accidentally, don't blame me!"

Matsuda obediently put down the suitcase, then moved his hand to the strap of the backpack in front of his chest.

His movement caused the pistol pressed against his lower back to tremble.

Immediately following was a low, nervous growl from the other party.

"What do you want to do?"

Turns out, he's a newbie...

This moment of tension had already made Matsuda somewhat aware of what was going on.

In fact, given Matsuda's body, which had been systematically enhanced to have a "green zombie" physique,

Unless there is a heart or brain injury, recovery is usually quick.

But unless absolutely necessary, who would willingly take a bullet?

Not to mention, because he was carrying a backpack, the position where the robber pointed his gun...

It happened to be on Matsuda's kidney. Even for the sake of his future happiness, Matsuda dared not risk his kidney.

"Didn't you tell me to put everything down?"

To avoid provoking the other person, Matsuda replied as softly as possible.

"I just wanted to take my backpack off."

"...Then hurry up!" the robber urged.

Matsuda remained silent, slowly taking one arm out of the backpack strap first, and then the other.

Seeing Matsuda's cooperation, the somewhat nervous "robber" breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the opening, Matsuda suddenly turned around, slammed the backpack in his hand into the other person's hand, and then kicked him.

"Snapped……"

The pistol fell to the ground. The male robber wearing black sunglasses was kicked and slammed against the wall behind him.

Immediately afterwards, he slid to the ground, powerless.

That voice? Matsuda picked up the pistol suspiciously.

Sure enough, no wonder he thought the sound of the pistol hitting the ground was strange.

This is not a real gun at all; it's just a replica metal model!

"Kid, you've got some nerve, trying to steal from me?"

Amused, Matsuda reached into his pocket, intending to take out handcuffs to cuff the robber.

"You...you're Officer Matsuda..."

Clutching his lower abdomen, the pale-faced robber stared at Matsuda in shock.

"How did you end up at Ms. Hoshino's apartment?"

"Ms. Hoshino? You actually knew this was Hoshino Terumi's apartment?" Matsuda asked in surprise. "So, she's not only a robber, but also a stalker?"

"I'm not!" the robber shouted back. "I just saw you sneaking out of Ms. Hoshino's apartment and thought you were a thief, so I imitated the police catching thieves on TV..."

"So you're not the robber?"

Matsuda stroked his chin, looking at the other person with disdain.

"But you don't seem to have denied that you're a stalker, do you?"

"Anyway, you'll have to come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with me."

Without further ado, Matsuda handcuffed him.

"I can't go to the Metropolitan Police Department! I know Ms. Hoshino!"

The male robber hurriedly offered his explanation.

"Officer Matsuda, I really can't go to the Metropolitan Police Department. If the media finds out, I'll be in big trouble."

Are you more afraid of the media reporters than going to the Metropolitan Police Department?

Matsuda stared at the man suspiciously, then reached out and took off his sunglasses.

The face behind the sunglasses looked increasingly familiar.

"Oh right, I remember now," Matsuda exclaimed suddenly, "You seem to be a TV actor. I saw you in a drama a couple of days ago, it was called something like Detective?"

Seeing that Matsuda had been pondering for a long time without saying anything further,

The man could no longer contain himself and hurriedly introduced himself.

"It's Detective Samonji! I'm Kenzaki Osamu, the actor who plays the male lead, Matsuda Samonji!"

"Since you're not a criminal, why don't you just give your name earlier?"

Matsuda complained as he unlocked the handcuffs.

"I wasted so much of my time."

It was because of your "I remembered" that I thought you knew me!

Kenzaki Osamu, feeling dejected, leaned against the wall and shakily stood up.

He still hasn't recovered from that kick from Matsuda.

"Alright, since you're not a suspect, I'll be going now."

As Matsuda spoke, he picked up the suitcase. Then he went to pick up the backpack that had fallen to the ground.

In this backpack, besides Hoshino Terumi's cosmetics, there were also several pieces of her underwear.

Because Matsuda had just hit Kenzaki with his backpack, the zipper of the backpack came undone, revealing a corner of his black underwear.

Matsuda, naturally, had no reaction to this.

After all, it was he who had just stuffed the things into the backpack. But when Kenzaki Osamu saw this, his expression immediately changed.

"Officer Matsuda, what... what is this?" Kenzaki Osamu stretched out his hand, pointing tremblingly at the backpack.

"What else could it be? Women's underwear, of course. You don't not recognize it, do you?"

Matsuda gave him a disdainful look, as if to say, "What's the big deal?"

"I know it's underwear!" Kenzaki Osamu stammered. "I... I wanted to ask, whose is this?"

“Who else could it be but Hoshino Terumi?” Matsuda pointed to the suitcase next to him. “Her backpack and suitcase are full of her clothes and cosmetics.”

Uh……

Kenzaki Osamu was struck dumb, his face growing even paler.

Chapter 211 A Simp's Heartbreak

Not only does Matsuda Jinpei have a key to Ms. Hoshino's house, but he also seems to be very familiar with Ms. Hoshino's personal clothing.

No wonder that when Yoko was on TV earlier, she was saying something happy like "Ms. Hoshino has woken up," but she didn't have much of a smile on her face.

Yoko and Ms. Hoshino have been friends for many years...

For her to show that kind of expression, could Matsuda Jinpei and Ms. Hoshino really be together?

Clinging to a last glimmer of hope, Kenzaki asked cautiously,

"Is it because Ms. Hoshino is moving, and she asked Officer Matsuda to come and help?"

"Well, it's about the same,"

Matsuda nodded casually. Hoshino Terumi was temporarily moving to his place, which could be considered a move, right?

After saying that, Matsuda ignored Kenzaki Osamu, grabbed his suitcase, slung his bag over his shoulder, and went downstairs.

At the entrance of Hoshino Terumi's apartment, only Kenzaki Osamu remained, hypnotizing himself.
