The two had no choice but to return to the hotel to make a phone call.

"...Yes, we're from Tokyo, looking to learn about the Yokohama bank armored truck robbery...This is Toyama...Hello?"

Hearing the dial tone coming from the receiver, Kaito Kuroba was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Yoruichi Toyama picked up the phone and redialed.

"Hello, I am Yoruichi Toyama, a special advisor from the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department..."

After agreeing on a time to visit again, he found that Kaito Kuroba was glaring at him with wide eyes.

"So, you detective know this stuff too!"

Yoruichi Toyama shrugged.

"There's no other way; it's a necessary measure!"

“You know, if the case files were so easy to obtain, we wouldn’t have needed to make this trip.”

Even wise people couldn't accomplish this, or at least they didn't want to escalate the situation at this stage, which shows that the obstacle comes from within.

I've been working with Akechi and high-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Police Department quite a bit lately, and I've almost forgotten what it's like to be a Japanese police officer every day.

"I think the police in Kanagawa Prefecture should really be taught a lesson."

"...Hey, please stop smirking under Ms. Akemi's face!"

...

At the agreed time, Yoruichi and Toyama went to the police station again and finally met the officer in charge of the armored truck robbery case.

That serious, rectangular face looked vaguely familiar.

"I am Yokomizo."

"Ah!" As he shook hands with Kaito Kuroba, Yoruichi Toyama suddenly remembered, "Didn't you meet me... and Yoruichi when we were in Izu?"

At this moment, Kaito Kuroba, who was playing "Yoruichi Toyama", immediately broke into a smile.

"Oh, haha, long time no see! I didn't recognize you for a moment..."

"This is my first time meeting Detective Toyama," the rectangular-faced, crew-cut detective replied seriously.

"If we're talking about the Izu Princess Hotel incident, the one that Detective Toyama met was my brother, Yokomizo Sango."

"My name is Yokomizo Shigego."

“Furthermore, Miss,” his gaze finally turned to “Mingmei,” and he looked her over with a puzzled expression, “you probably haven’t met my brother either, have you?”

"I was careless," Yoruichi thought to himself.

On the one hand, he had never clearly remembered the two Henggou brothers, but their faces looked familiar, and he wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to them.

On the other hand, I really forgot that when I just returned from Gunkanjima in Izu, Akemi wasn't with me.

"I, well, I heard it from Yoruichi, hehe..." She had no choice but to abandon her image as Miss Akemi and try to save face.

Kaito Kuroba chuckled and scratched his head in response.

"Look at me, my memory is terrible, haha..."

Yokomizo Shigego's already serious face grew even colder.

"So, you two are detectives, and why are you inquiring about an armored truck robbery?"

"The police are still investigating, and the specific details cannot be disclosed to non-official sources."

The implication is that Yoruichi Toyama's title of "special advisor" is barely enough to secure a single visit.

The nail came right up to us.

Kaito Kuroba blinked as he touched the object.

"That, that's not because it involves Kaito Kid..."

Yokomizo Shigeo nodded.

"Yes, to be honest, our investigation has led us to suspect that Phantom Thief Kid and the robber are accomplices."

"But currently, Kaito Kid is reportedly under the control of the Metropolitan Police Department. We have applied for Kid to be brought to justice, but have not yet received a response."

"So, Detective Toyama, shouldn't you go back and tell Inspector Akechi..."

The last sentence, with both titles given logical emphasis, sounds unfriendly.

Yoruichi Toyama roughly understood.

This trip will not yield any results in front of this detective.

"...But why?"

As he walked out of the police station, Kaito Kuroba asked indignantly.

"This is the first time we've met him, right?"

"What kind of deep-seated hatred could there be?"

"That's a long story..." Yoruichi Toyama sighed.

I thought to myself that Yokomizo's younger brother's aversion to detectives was consistent throughout.

Moreover, today's meeting was not without significance.

According to him, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police considered Kaito Kid to be an accomplice.

Therefore, they applied to the Metropolitan Police Department, which was controlling Kid, to bring Kid to their jurisdiction for prosecution.

But the Metropolitan Police Department knew, of course, that this had nothing to do with Kid.

Why are the Kanagawa Prefectural Police so certain?

If they catch the robber, even if he's just one of the accomplices, they should get a different testimony.

so……

"So they didn't catch a single one, and can only pin the blame on me, right?!"

After hearing Yoruichi Toyama's analysis, Kaito Kuroba became even angrier.

What is this? The police are incompetent, using an innocent thief as a shield?

Oh, I'm not a thief anymore...

That's even more unacceptable! ...

Yoruichi Toyama smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Thinking that he was now in such a difficult situation, he was afraid that he and Mingzhi were both responsible.

Unlike his older brother, Yokomizo Sango, Yokomizo's aversion to detectives was obvious to all.

In the original series, Kogoro and Conan were often treated with disrespect and rudeness.

Now it's just that I'm the one in charge.

As for wisdom...

Didn't he discipline his older brother in Izu?

"The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's elite gold watch squad arbitrarily interferes with local police investigations," regardless of the outcome, will earn them a reputation for arrogance.

Of course, they couldn't reach Akechi himself.
