Recently, Tokyo Nichiuri TV host Yoko Okino conducted an exclusive interview. Her interviewee was the renowned private detective and special consultant to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department...
After chatting with the hidden master swordsman until midnight, Yoruichi Toyama had to get up early the next day to go to the TV station with Yoko Okino.
I originally wanted to bring Taro along, since I've gotten used to running around with the cat these past few days, and I always feel like something's missing under my arm if I don't bring him.
But the black cat clung to the carpet desperately, trying several times to pull it up but failing.
I'm not going with you! I'm a cat, sleeping is my job!
Yoruichi Toyama was about to mock him when suddenly the cat turned its face, and a pair of golden cat eyes stared at her from close range.
"An incident happened at the TV station; with your constitution, you're bound to run into it eventually. I'm not going to go looking for trouble!"
[You even call Conan the Grim Reaper? I think you're about to steal that title yourself.]
Reminded by this, Yoruichi Toyama also remembered, and stopped pulling the cat and thought for a moment.
"No, I remember Uncle Mori went to the TV station to do a program that time."
"In other words, that was when he had already solved several cases and gained some fame."
"Where is Uncle Mori now?"
"As long as he's not on the show, I'll be fine if I go, no problem!"
That's what they said, but Taro kept clinging to the carpet, so Yoru Toyama had to grab a handful of dried fish for him before going out.
I hitched a ride with Yoko Okino to the TV station, and we went to the set where they were filming a TV drama in the studio.
It was just a fake set, and the film was shot in a stiff, tokusatsu-like style. They even used a real bulletproof vest as a prop, which Yoruichi Toyama found quite bizarre.
But this is not the time to be picky; rather, it's a timely help in need.
Yoko Okino lent out the bulletproof vest without much effort, agreeing to return it in two days.
When handing it to Yoruichi Toyama, he couldn't help but tilt his head and smile, "Mr. Toyama, what exactly do you need this for?"
"Although I don't want to ask any more questions, I'm just too curious."
Toyama Yoru thought about being questioned, but the excuse she made up was really awkward, so she had to suppress her blush and put on a mysterious look.
"Miss Yoko, you should know that I am a detective."
"Back in England, I ran into a troublesome enemy, and I heard he's recently followed me to Japan..."
Perhaps because she was on set, Yoko Okino's surprise and worry seemed very genuine.
"Is that person trying to harm Mr. Toyama? Then...should we call the police?"
"Without any evidence, the police won't care, right?" Yoruichi Toyama shrugged.
"But I've already come up with an idea. We'll lure him out and then hand him over to the police."
Yoko Okino nodded knowingly, then raised a finger to her lips, her gaze becoming mysterious.
"Mr. Toyama, you must be careful! I will keep your secret."
Seeing how sincere the pretty girl was, Yoruichi Toyama even felt a sense of guilt, like a con artist.
No, you believe everything I say?
Do you people in the Conan world have a high tolerance for nonsense?
After all, the other party had done her a great favor, so Yoruichi Toyama didn't have time to complain anymore and just silently put away the heavy bulletproof vest.
When he thought of asking Taro to check on Miyano Akemi's whereabouts, he realized that he had come out alone today.
So he said goodbye to the film crew and went to visit the producer of the talk show.
It should be said that people who make current affairs programs are generally quite sensitive.
After hearing Yoruichi Toyama's story, the producer immediately decided to do a special interview with her at the art museum.
Furthermore, we invited Yoko Okino as a guest and went on a field trip that afternoon.
Yoruichi Toyama, as the information provider, was naturally included as a bonus; she could appear in the scene if she wanted.
Without a second thought, Yoru Toyama gave the opportunity to Director Ochiai, who really needed to be in the spotlight, when the recording was scheduled for the afternoon.
The old gentleman was refined in appearance and spoke with great eloquence, making him the perfect person to bring popularity to the art museum.
When the situation calls for playing the victim, it can instantly evoke sympathy in people.
When that time comes, the owner of the "art museum converted into a hotel" will definitely be plunged into the vast ocean of people's war, and even if he doesn't drown, he'll choke on some water.
Yuanshan Ye thought to himself, if he's not good at solving cases, how could he be an amateur at mobilizing the masses?
In this kind of thing, the Japanese are too narrow-minded and always want to be lone wolves.
So what if he's a great swordsman? Even if he really killed someone, Conan still saw right through him!
Thinking of Conan, Yoruichi Toyama couldn't stay in the art museum any longer; she had to go back to Taro to get the latest information.
Before he could leave, Yoko Okino grabbed him.
"Mr. Toyama, why don't you say a few words too!"
"Yes!" Director Ochiai nodded repeatedly. "We were able to get the TV station to speak up for the museum, thanks to Mr. Toyama!"
After clarifying that it was just a recording and not a live broadcast, Toyama Yoichi reluctantly gave a few perfunctory words to the camera.
Phrases like "protect our spiritual home" will probably be discarded during the final editing process.
After saying that, he grabbed the bulletproof vest and ran away in a flash.
Even though he was a great swordsman, he couldn't stop Ochiai, the headmaster, who could only look at that back and laugh with a sigh.
"Mr. Toyama, what a kind-hearted eccentric."
...
"So, Akemi Miyano did indeed go to the Mouri Detective Agency today?"
After hearing from Taro about Miyano Akemi's spawn location, Toyama Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, and then she went back to her original address; she didn't move.
