Chapter 405 The Expanding New Vitality
……
"Officer Matsushita, what did you mean when you said you found out the truth about this matter?"
Inspector Megure said to Matsushita's pants.
You have to understand that this matter falls into the category of the supernatural. Even if you're a super cop, you won't be able to find the truth no matter how hard you try, even if you rack your brains, from a materialistic perspective.
He loosened his pants and gave another crooked smile.
"Please call me the Light of the Police World, Inspector Megure."
Matsushita reminded Inspector Megure, then took out a camera and a... laptop from his pocket.
"...Hattori, did you see that?"
Conan spoke to Heiji Hattori with a serious expression, and the latter nodded in equal seriousness.
"I saw it, I saw it clearly. How did he manage to put that thing in his flat trouser pocket?"
"It must be... magic, right?"
Despite having Karasuma Renya and Qi Ming's abilities as a reference, Conan and Hattori Heiji really didn't believe that such superpowered individuals were commonplace.
Moreover, Karasuma Renya also said that such people would not perform miracles in front of others.
"Inspector Megure, to be honest, I was at the scene when the murder just happened."
Matsushita waved the camera in his hand.
"And I happened to capture that moment on camera."
Qi Ming had a feeling that the person in front of him was watching him, albeit subtly.
However, this guy probably can't see my information either, otherwise he would not only look at himself, but also take a look at Karasuma Renya.
Moreover, his statement that he was present the whole time was also a lie.
The information above his head was like wearing a glowing green hat in the dark; there was no reason he couldn't see it.
Qi Ming glanced at the camera in the other person's hand.
【Item Name: Time Reversal Machine】
[Item Function: Captures a scene and can save footage of that scene over a period of two hours.]
[Item Owner: Police Chief Matsushita Pants]
"..."
Qi Ming was somewhat bewildered.
Isn't this his built-in game replay function?
No, it seems a little different; at least it can replay scenes where I wasn't there...
But it doesn't seem to be working?
"Uh, Matsushita, cough cough, the light of the police force, Officer Matsushita Pants, even if you filmed that scene, it won't do any good."
Megure turned to the side, revealing the surveillance screen behind him.
"There are surveillance cameras in the theater, and the whole scene just now was recorded."
He loosened his pants, went to the screen, and tapped the fast forward and rewind buttons. Watching the scene before and after the lights went out, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"Inspector Megure, don't you think this machine is a bit too outdated?"
"Um, that's true, but it shouldn't matter, right?"
"It has a significant impact."
This time, Matsushita made no attempt to hide his gaze, staring directly at Qi Ming.
"The machine is too old and the refresh rate is too low."
"That's why it's impossible to see what someone does between these two frames."
"..."
Qi Ming had a feeling that the person in front of him was asking for a beating.
But Conan and Heiji Hattori are different.
They just felt that this policeman seemed to have something going for him.
Qi Ming did indeed do something during that stopped time, but how did the policeman know?
Conan and Heiji Hattori exchanged a glance, and the latter leaned forward to ask Matsushita about his pants.
"Officer, I'd like to ask..."
Matsushita glanced at Hattori Heiji and said in a slightly cold tone:
"Detective, please call me the Light of the Police World."
"...the light of the police world."
Heiji Hattori always felt that this person seemed to have some serious illness.
And for some reason, Hattori Heiji sensed a kind of... jealousy and pleasure in Matsushita's expression?
Having received Hattori Heiji's proper address, Matsushita turned to look at Hattori Heiji.
"I think I saw Detective Hattori here when I was investigating the scene just now, right? So, I'd like to ask what conclusions you've reached?"
"Uh, that."
Hattori Heiji glanced around; there were too many people for him to say anything.
Because of the flaws Qi Ming left in the surveillance footage today, coupled with the red and swollen wound on Mai's hand, Conan and Hattori Heiji found evidence that Qi Ming could have made the move.
At the crime scene, they first gathered everyone back to their positions. After observing each person, Conan and Heiji Hattori discovered that many people had footprints on their bodies, and some even had abrasions on their faces.
After obtaining this clue, they went to the seat where Qi Ming was sitting and, after some simulation, figured out Qi Ming's movement path.
He got up from his seat and, during the pause, stepped on other people to get to Urata.
Of course, only those in the know can understand this evidence.
Seeing Hattori Heiji fall silent, he loosened his pants and gave Hattori Heiji a disdainful snort.
"If you know nothing, then please, you useless detectives, get out of here!"
"...What did you say?"
Noticing the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two, Inspector Megure quickly stepped forward and stood between them.
"Um, Officer Matsushita from the police force, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Matsushita gave Hattori Heiji a cold look, then said to Inspector Megure:
"Could you please take the others outside for a moment, Inspector Megure? I'd like to speak with this gentleman alone."
Megure blinked, a sudden thought forming in his mind.
Matsushita Pants had never met Qi Ming before, but now he actually wanted to talk to Qi Ming...
Could it be that people like them are attracted to each other?
Is Pants Bro a master too?
"Sure, I'd also like to have a chat with you, Meichuan Kuzi."
Qi Ming nodded in agreement; he also wanted to chat with this new student.
When Susan Kouxia heard Qi Ming address him, his face darkened.
“...My name is Keishi no Hikari.”
"Okay, with your pants down."
……
The monitoring room door was tightly closed, and only Qi Ming and Matsushita Kushima remained inside.
Although Conan and Heiji Hattori really wanted to stay and listen in, they were coldly and firmly kicked out by Matsushita.
Fortunately, Karasuma Renya was also outside, so Conan and Hattori Heiji had someone to talk to.
"..."
The two men in the room were silent for a moment, then loosened their trousers and asked Qi Ming:
"What do you call it?"
"Oh, sir."
"Okay, dear brother... what are you saying?"
Qi Ming smiled and pointed to the top of his head.
"Oh, this is the name I changed."
"..."
Matsushita Pants, having been through similar experiences, knew that he could change his name, so he didn't dwell on it too much.
"Hmph, I didn't expect to run into someone like me on a mission."
Panasonic opened his laptop, connected the camera, and played a video.
That video was the footage of the murder that just occurred at the theater.
Matsushita fast-forwarded to the scene of the lights going out and coming on, but the images on the screen were completely different from the surveillance footage.
With a high refresh rate, more details are revealed, including Qi Ming's figure moving!
As if to demonstrate his evidence, he tapped the screen and spoke to Qi Ming.
"I'm guessing you have some kind of equipment that can slow down time while keeping your own speed constant, right?"
"Hmm, how should I put it?"
He loosened his pants and looked at Qi Ming with an arrogant expression.
"Give me that equipment, and I'll let you go."
"...What did you say? Let me go?"
Qi Ming was a little dumbfounded.
He hadn't seen anyone provoke him like this in a long time.
