As a Great Detective, I Choose to Call the Police

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&#...

Chapter 12 Do you know how A'Zhu died?

Finally, he sighed and said, "He clearly can't drink alcohol, yet he still drank so much!"

...

On the way back to the apartment with the unconscious Akemi Miyano, Yoruichi Toyama didn't say another word to Taro.

Taro had no choice but to seriously play the role of a pet until he followed him into the room.

Yoru Toyama placed Akemi Miyano on the bed in the bedroom, and without hesitation took off her coat and shoes, then unbuttoned her shirt and skirt, continuing until she was only left in her underwear before stopping. He stood by the bed with his hands on his hips, lost in thought.

Hey, you...

For a moment, Taro almost thought he was going to change the color of Shuichi Akai's hat, only to see him pull the blanket over the sleeping Akemi Miyano and cover her up completely.

"I can forget about underwear, I can't wear it anyway..."

Hearing his muttering, Taro, who had just put down his snack, was surprised again.

Is my host a hidden cross-dressing master? ...

However, Yoruichi Toyama only tried on Akemi Miyano's clothes before putting them on.

"Kotaro-kun, do me a favor."

To Taro's utter bewilderment, he heard his host speak in the most solemn tone he had used since transmigrating.

"'Disguise' exists in the Detective Conan world, right? It shouldn't be considered cheating, right?"

Yes. But you think...

"Add it to my character profile. Let me think about it some more... the dock... the dock, right... and give me the highest level swimming and unequipped diving skills as well."

Unlike his usual banter, Yoruichi Toyama's attitude was quite serious at this moment.

Taro didn't even dare to refute, carefully taking out his handheld device and adding his personal touch before he was about to speak.

Before he could ask, Yoruichi Toyama glanced at him with a strange expression, as if she were helpless or self-deprecating.

"Hey, Kotaro, do you know how A'Zhu died?"

...

【I do not understand……】

As Yoruichi Toyama dragged him out the door again, Taro asked sullenly.

[We agreed to save Akemi Miyano, and now that you've done it, what else do you want?]

Yoruichi Toyama led him into the shop and searched for the materials needed for the disguise technique.

"Don't forget, this time she committed the crime to make a deal with Gin in exchange for her and her sister's escape from the organization."

"The money hasn't reached Gin yet, and it's highly likely that it will be embezzled by that tall accomplice. She hasn't gone to find Gin either. Do you think the distillery will hunt her down?"

【and you……】

Taro suddenly realized.

【A-Zhu…hey, you're not thinking of…disguising yourself as Miyano Akemi and getting shot by Gin, are you?】

Even with bulletproof vests, this is still too dangerous.

I've seen people risk their lives, but I've never seen anyone risk their life like this.

【Host, wake up... It's just a mission, you don't need to do this... It's just a little bit of favorability with Akai Shuichi, let's forget about it for now... Miyano Akemi being shot by Gin is part of the original plot, it's not your fault...】

Taro was getting really anxious, kicking wildly under Yoruichi's arm.

Yoruichi Toyama, who had just bought latex, paint, wigs and other such items, glanced at him indifferently and then went into the pharmacy.

"I already told you, Kotaro-kun, I will do the mission."

"But I believe I should also take charge of things that I should take charge of."

"Because of our misjudgment, Mr. Hirota was still killed, and this is the maximum I can forgive myself for."

"Therefore, I must save Miyano Akemi and her accomplice!"

But...

Taro was speechless at the young policeman's stubbornness.

I understand Akemi Miyano; she's a character in the story, and she's worthy of sympathy. If you want to save her, that's fine.

[Including that great swordsman, you think he's a good person and don't want him to become a murderer.]

But what's there to sympathize with in those two bank robbers?

Even if one kills the other, isn't that just infighting, like dogs fighting each other?

What's wrong with you that makes you so angry?

Yoruichi Toyama chuckled softly.

"Kotaro-kun, I'm a police officer."

"Trialing criminals and determining whether they deserve to die is not my responsibility."

"So for me, no one 'should' die, and as long as it's within my jurisdiction, I can't let anyone be killed."

"It's that simple."

...

Time was limited when they went shopping, and when they returned to the apartment, Akemi Miyano was still asleep.

Relying on his newly mastered disguise technique, Yoruichi Toyama began to reach out and touch her face, experiencing the details of its shape and contours.

It wasn't until Miyano Akemi frowned, as if she was regaining consciousness, that the prepared water glass was brought to her lips.

"Are you thirsty... drink some water, be good..." He softened his voice and coaxed her while pouring a glass of water containing dissolved sleeping pills down her throat.

Akemi Miyano hummed in response, and subconsciously adjusted her position on the bed before falling back asleep.

Yoruichi Toyama felt relieved. She applied a protective layer to Yoruichi's face and began casting with quick-drying plaster.

After the mold is formed and removed, a pre-mixed latex material is brushed onto the inside to make a disguise mask.

In reality, this would be considered a huge project, but because it's a world of Detective Conan, it took less than two hours in total.

After putting on the mask in front of the mirror and making some final adjustments, Yoruichi Toyama breathed a sigh of satisfaction and didn't take it off again.

After putting on the long, straight black wig, it conveniently covered the edge of the mask at the hairline.

However, Akemi Miyano's shirts and skirts were simply unwearable.
