“Senior, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up,” Yue Shui said worriedly. “If you’ve been beaten senseless by the criminals, that would be terrible.”

Chapter 300 The Zaibatsu Are Making Their Move

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine,"

Matsuda rolled his eyes, but Sato and Koshimizu were naturally not going to let their guard down so easily.

The two of them moved closer to Matsuda and brushed his hair aside.

They carefully examined his head to see if there were any wounds.

"Well done, Matsuda!"

With a complicated expression, Inspector Megure reached out and patted his capable subordinate on the shoulder.

"But in the future, when rescuing people, you must also pay attention to your own safety."

......

The person who made the deposit was arrested, and the subsequent interrogation went smoothly.

Matsuda stopped him from attacking Sonoko on the spot; that's the best evidence.

In addition, DNA samples from several other victims were found on the iron bar in Dingjin's hand.

Most importantly, the depositor confessed to his crimes without reservation.

Even after arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, he maintained that his actions were to protect the child from harm by the female driver.

Furthermore, although Matsuda insisted that he was fine, he had still been hit on the head.

Despite Sato and Koshimizu's insistence, Matsuda was taken to the hospital for a full medical check-up.

And as Matsuda predicted, there were no problems at all.

"You really are something else..."

Sato looked at Matsuda with a strange expression. That was an iron rod! He took it head-on and was completely unharmed. What kind of iron skull did he have?

After confirming that everything was alright, the three of them prepared to leave the hospital together.

But at the main gate, they ran into Megure and a tall lady.

"Inspector, what brings you here?"

Sato asked in surprise, "What about the case regarding the deposit...?"

"Don't worry, with Shiratori and Takagi watching over us, nothing will happen,"

Megure waved his hand: "Matsuda, are you alright?"

"Inspector, your senior is completely unharmed."

Yue Shui covered her mouth and laughed.

"Perhaps the problem lies with that iron rod?"

After confirming that Matsuda was indeed alright, Inspector Megure finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman beside him chuckled and handed Matsuda a fruit basket.

"Officer Matsuda is alright, that's great!"

"Excuse me, may I ask who you are...?"

Matsuda was somewhat confused.

Megure, who was standing to the side, explained, "This is my wife. She heard about the deposit and wanted to come and visit you."

"Actually, I was also thinking about the past," Inspector Megure's wife explained with a smile.

About ten years ago...

She told a story about how, ten years ago, there were also criminals who would deliberately run over female high school students with their cars.

At the time, Mrs. Megure was a delinquent girl who lost her best friend to a criminal.

She then risked her life, intending to use herself as bait to lure the prisoner out.

Finally, the culprit appeared, and she herself found herself in danger.

Fortunately, Megure risked his life to save her.

"Because of that incident, he still has that scar on his head,"

As Lady Megure spoke, she looked at her husband with a smile.

Inspector Megure, however, awkwardly pulled his hat down even further.

It seems he didn't want others to pay too much attention to the injury on his head.

"So that's how the inspector got the head injury?" Sato asked in surprise.

Yue Shui, who was standing to the side, also nodded.

The reason Megure often wears a hat is to cover the scar on his head.

But few people know how those scars came about.

This remains an unsolved mystery for the younger generation of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Sato and Koshimizu were deeply moved after hearing Lady Megure's story.

Only Matsuda, instead, smiled and patted Inspector Megure's large belly.

"Wow, Inspector, you managed to snag a high school girl as your wife by playing the hero!"

"You bastard..." Megure gritted his teeth angrily, "Once you're better, come back to the Metropolitan Police Department immediately! You still need to recount the attack on the deposit case!"

......

"Matsuda, you bastard, what on earth did you do yesterday?"

The next day, as soon as Matsuda arrived at the First Division's office, he saw Megure with a livid face, roaring angrily.

"Inspector, what happened?" Matsuda was still a little confused. "See for yourself!"

Inspector Megure tossed a newspaper over.

The front page of the newspaper featured a large photograph of Matsuda bravely breaking through a crowd of reporters to rescue Sonoko.

Moreover, the close-up shot that was emphasized was not Matsuda's back, but his casually raised leg, which unfortunately kicked a reporter in the groin.

"Matsuda, how dare you hit someone?" Megure said angrily, "And it was a reporter who was hit!"

"I don't!"

Such a thing cannot be admitted casually.

Matsuda immediately retorted, "It was just an accident, absolutely an accident."

"really?"

Megure stared at Matsuda with sharp eyes.

"Of course! Who do you think I am? I mean it."

Matsuda certainly knew this, and he would never admit it, even if his life depended on it.

"Do you know that this report also exposed several of your past misdeeds? Now there are rumors everywhere that you have violent tendencies and are a dangerous person!"

"It's very serious," Megure said.

"Am I in danger?"

Matsuda replied irritably.

"I was rushing to save people, and that's why I accidentally..."

"Stop making excuses for yourself."

Megure said angrily, "Do you know how badly this has affected the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"How about I resign and apologize?" Matsuda said casually.

"You wish!"

Megure glared at him.

The Metropolitan Police Department finally produced a detective who could outshine so many other detectives.

If he just lets Matsuda go like this, he'll be scolded to death by his superiors.

"You should take a break for the next couple of days and lay low for a while," Inspector Megure said helplessly.

"Another vacation?" Matsuda's eyes lit up immediately. "Then..."

"Don't worry, your salary and bonuses will remain the same; there won't be any impact!"

Megure naturally knew what he wanted to ask.

"Haha, another vacation is here..."

Since he didn't have to go to work, Matsuda naturally headed straight out of the office.

"Inspector, the media issues won't affect him, will they...?"

After Matsuda left, Sato asked with concern.

"Don't worry, that's not why he's on temporary leave."

Megure chuckled and explained,

“He was hit on the head with a stick yesterday. The higher-ups were worried about his health, so they used that as an excuse to send him home to rest.”

"What about the newspapers and media?" Yue Shui also asked.

"It's nothing serious,"

Megure said, "This morning, the Suzuki family called the Metropolitan Police Department because Matsuda rescued the second young lady of the Suzuki family. The Suzuki family will handle the media relations from now on..."

Matsuda had a very comfortable time over the next few days.
