"Then do you know who the undercover agent is?" Amuro Tooru pressed on, unwilling to give up, his dignity as an intelligence officer being challenged.

"Auntie didn't say, but I can guess." Yoruichi Toyama blurted out, working backward from the answer to deduce the solution.

"First of all, the lower-ranking police officers at today's meeting, like the one Aunt Vermouth was dressed up as, definitely weren't there."

“The undercover agent is required to be involved in the entire case, so it can only be a person from the Metropolitan Police Department or a local police department who is seconded to the joint investigation.”

“Those with friends, like Officer Yamato Kansuke and his companion, and the Yokomizo brothers, can also be ruled out. After all, the risk of being exposed when pretending to be someone's close friend is too great.”

"A village police officer in Gunma Prefecture..."

“He probably isn’t,” Shinichi Kudo sighed, inadvertently revealing the truth. “He looks even sillier than Uncle Kogoro; it would be hard for most people to pull it off…”

This sentence was interrupted as Xiaolan frantically tugged at his clothes.

Shinichi Kudo looked up and saw his future father-in-law giving him a gentle and approachable smile, even showing his canine teeth.

"Oh no, Uncle, please don't misunderstand, let me explain again..."

"Uncle, you're even more foolish than him!..."

"No, no, no, I mean..."

"He's not as stupid as you!..."

"..."

Yoruichi Toyama and Tooru Amuro stood by with their hands on their hips, watching. Finally, they patted Shinichi Kudo on the shoulder, one on each side.

Brother, may you rest in peace!

...

Upon hearing the final conclusion that it was Matsumoto Kiyoshi, the manager, both Ran and Akemi, who had had close contact with him at Sayuri-sensei's wedding but had received no response today, agreed.

This also directly conveyed to Tooru Amuro how fanciful the brewery's strategy was.

"I can't help it." Amuro Tooru shrugged, indicating that he wouldn't take the blame.

"The plan was designed by Gin himself."

"Are you out of options, or are you trying to take advantage of a loophole?" Yoruichi Toyama asked. "Isn't this a good opportunity to capture the brewery staff?"

Just like the earliest collaboration, the video game company bombing.

Shinichi Kudo, who also participated in the arrest of Tequila, looked excited.

But Amuro Tooru pondered for a long time before shaking his head.

"Toyama, and Kudo-kun, you should know that taking down the brewery isn't as simple as just arresting people one by one."

"This involves far too many people and forces..."

"Is it that list?" Yoruichi Toyama said. "It's said to include important political figures and high-ranking police officers."

"Is the police officer concerned about this?"

"Aren't you the ones who protect the security of this country?"

Akemi tugged at him from the side, but Yoruichi Toyama was getting carried away and started talking more and more recklessly.

"Sometimes I don't really understand you either. You've been an undercover agent, almost to the level of a supervisor, haven't you? How many distillery executives have you arrested, or how many of their plots have you thwarted?"

"Why not arrest people one by one and shrink their living space?"

"You really want to mobilize a large force when the distillery holds its 30th anniversary celebration, and wipe out the whole family in one fell swoop?"

"With your delays and appeasement, how many innocent people will be harmed, and how many politicians, police officers, and scientists will be threatened and forced to cooperate? Have you ever calculated that?"

"They're like cockroaches, constantly rolling around and multiplying, their nests only getting bigger and bigger. Are you planning to leave them all alone until you've achieved the feat of having eighteen generations under one roof before making a move?"

...Actually, what he said makes a lot of sense, and everyone around him was thinking about it.

But it's already difficult enough to hold back a laugh.

I imagined the distillery as a swarm of cockroaches that kept growing bigger and bigger, and everyone's expressions were quite comical and distorted.

Amuro Tooru's coffee-colored face was slightly red, but it wasn't very noticeable because of his skin tone.

"Yuanshan, calm down and listen to me..."

“I think I’m pretty calm,” Yoruichi Toyama interrupted him. “You see, I haven’t been holding you to saintly standards.”

"I know you're playing a long game, and we can't just rashly arrest people one by one."

"But can't we arrest these people? Can't we sabotage their operation?"

Who are you protecting? The people on the list?

"Toyama!" Amuro Tooru exclaimed, "Don't think you're the only one who's upright, hates evil, and isn't afraid of the powerful!"

"I will definitely get my hands on that list! No matter what crime they are charged with, none of the people on the list will escape justice!"

"But we can't arrest that fake Matsumoto and all those people... Do you think if there's such a big disturbance, the rest of the brewery staff will all disappear into the ground and run away to places you can't even find?"

"You understand the principle of eradicating evil completely, right? Tell me, what's next? How do we catch all those fugitives?"

Yuanshan Ye paused for a moment, but didn't seem stumped by the question.

“Issuing warrants!” he said. “With those high-ranking people on the list, why would they worry about not knowing the physical characteristics of the distillery's members?”

"And what about the distillery's outposts? Can't we extract fingerprints and DNA from them?"

Thinking about it this way, it seems that even though Gao Yuan has been wanted for a long time, the police have never used his fingerprints or other information to search for him.

The main point is to just run away and see you next time.

It's similar to how Inspector Nakamori chased after the Phantom Thief Kid.

"...I'm sorry, I was too hasty in my thinking," Yoruichi Toyama said sincerely.

"That's when it dawned on me that the Japanese public security bureau, just like the Japanese police, is really terrible at apprehending criminals!"
