Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

Page 173

Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, as if they had found their pillar of support, quickly gathered around Matsuda and tearfully recounted their ordeals.

Even Conan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Director Lu Chuan was only holding an iron pipe, his gloomy face was incredibly intimidating.

"By the way, Officer Matsuda!"

Ayumi clutched Matsuda's trouser leg with one hand and wiped away her tears with the other, sobbing.

"There seemed to be another person in the reading room just now."

"What? Could it be one of Director Ritsukawa's accomplices?"

Conan and his two companions were all startled.

"I don't think so. I was so scared that I closed my eyes and could only hear the sounds. I always felt that Director Ritsukawa seemed to be very afraid of that person."

Ayumi recalled,

"Oh right, Director Ritsukawa seemed to have called out 'Tamada' at the time..."

"what?"

Mitsuhiko, who was standing next to him, suddenly stiffened. He spoke slowly in a trembling voice.

"In this library, it seems the only person with the surname Yutian is the deceased Mr. Yutian!"

"Could it be that Ayumi saw Mr. Tamada's ghost?"

Yuan Tai cried out in surprise and retreated in fright.

Ayumi, even more frightened, pressed her body tightly against Matsuda's legs.

"You three, stop scaring yourselves!" Conan rolled his eyes. "How could there be ghosts in this world? It must be that Director Ritsukawa, because he killed someone, was so scared that he mistook something in the library for Mr. Tamada."

“What about Ayumi?” Genta retorted. “Ayumi said she saw it too.”

"Ayumi only said that she saw a shadow standing in front of Director Ritsukawa through the glass door,"

Conan explained without hesitation,

"There are many reasons why a shadow might appear on the glass. Maybe it's just the reflection of a person in the building across from the library that's being refracted."

"Now that you mention it, it is indeed possible."

Mitsuhiko, who was also a science enthusiast, immediately agreed with Conan's idea.

"No, I saw it very clearly. There was definitely a figure standing in front of Director Lu Chuan!"

Ayumi, however, disagreed with Conan's explanation.

"Maybe it's because Director Ritsukawa looks so terrifying that Ayumi is hallucinating?"

Genta also shared his thoughts.

"I told you, I saw it very clearly!"

Ayumi glared angrily at her three friends, then looked up at Matsuda.

"Officer Matsuda, you'll believe me, won't you?"

Looking into the little girl's pitiful eyes, how could Matsuda bear to make her sad?

Moreover, what Ayumi said might indeed be the truth of the matter.

According to the system's prompts, the ghostly figure that saved Ayumi should be Tamada Kazuo, who had already been killed by Director Ritsukawa.

Seeing Matsuda nod, Mitsuhiko and Genta were at a loss, while Conan next to them curled his lip in disdain.

cut!

This damn lolita control!

Only Ayumi cheered happily.

It seems that Matsuda's approval is very important to her.

Seeing that the four kids were safe and sound, Matsuda breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the Ghost Knight poked his upper body out from the ceiling.

He nodded to him, indicating that the prisoner had been brought under control.

Matsuda then had the four children leave the library through the window and wait for Megure and the others at the main entrance.

Matsuda, led by the Ghost Knight, went straight to the reading room on the fourth floor.

As soon as he entered, he saw a man lying face down on the floor.

So this is the culprit, Director Ritsukawa?

Matsuda stepped forward and turned the man over.

He was startled when he saw the other person's face.

No wonder those four kids were so scared!

The curator of this museum, Ritsukawa, certainly has a peculiar face!

On his thin face, his cheekbones protruded high.

His entire face looked like it was just skin and bones underneath.

Generally speaking, people who can get this thin...

Either they have a physical illness, or they have overdosed on drugs, which has caused problems with their bodily functions.

Considering that this curator, Lü Chuan, is a drug dealer,

It's not hard to understand why he looks like this.

Matsuda took out handcuffs and locked Ritsukawa to the railing next to him.

Only then did my gaze shift to a corner of the room.

There, another figure was staring at the three of them with fear.

Matsuda, Ghost Knight, and John.

"You are Tamada Kazuo?"

Matsuda glanced at the ligature marks on the man's neck and asked.

"Yes, I am Yutian,"

The figure paused for a moment, nodded instinctively, and then suddenly realized something.

"You...you can see me?"

"Yes," Matsuda nodded calmly, "Thank you for saving that little girl earlier."

"It's alright, such a lovely child shouldn't have died at the hands of that bastard, Lu Chuan."

The ghost of Tamada Kazuo shook his head, then glared resentfully at the floor-standing Ritsukawa Museum Director.

"This guy, it's one thing for him to attack me, but he could actually do that to such a young child! He's a beast!"

After venting for a while, Tamada Kazuo let out a long sigh.

"My wife and I have been married for many years but have no children. I wish that little girl were our child,"

As he spoke, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Unfortunately, there will never be another chance."

Chapter 213 My wish is to have a child? I can't very well be the one to have one...

Tamada spoke casually, but Matsuda, who was standing next to him, was listening with some trepidation.

The system's task for him was to have Matsuda help Tamada Kazuo fulfill his last wish.

But according to what Kazuo Tamada says now...

His wish is most likely to have a child with his wife.

How can this be accomplished?

Tamada Kazuo has become a ghost.

Since there's no physical body involved, naturally he can no longer do that kind of thing with his wife.

But we can't have Matsuda do it himself.

Let's get his wife pregnant to help Tamada Kazuo fulfill his wish, shall we?

Fortunately, Matsuda was just overthinking it.

Although Kazuo Tamada wanted to have a child,

But this was a wish he had held for over a decade, and it was not his final wish at the end of his life.

"So what is your wish?" Matsuda asked.

"actually……"

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Tamada Kazuo's face.

"The day after tomorrow is my tenth wedding anniversary with my wife. When I was dying, my only thought was that I would not be able to spend that day with my wife."

Even on his deathbed, all he could think about was his wife; he was quite the romantic...

Matsuda sighed inwardly.

"Don't worry, I will help you fulfill this wish," he assured him.

"really?"

With a hint of trepidation and uncertainty, Tamada Kazuo asked,

After receiving Matsuda's affirmation, he seemed to feel a great sense of relief.

The already hazy body became even more ethereal.

“Oh, by the way, officer,” Tamada Kazuo pleaded, “I have a tenth wedding anniversary gift for my wife in my desk. I wonder if you could…”

"I'll go get it now, and I'll make sure you can personally hand it to your wife the day after tomorrow."
