Nonsense, if I get off the bus now, how can I legitimately go with you to investigate the case?

Yoruichi Toyama did not answer, but her gaze had already swept over the boy in the blue suit who was only a step slower than Kogoro and was dragging Ran over.

Well, I have to say, Conan's head is definitely bigger than most people's.

Seeing the driver's somewhat bewildered look in the rearview mirror, Toyama Yoru smiled, calmly opened the car door, and stepped out with the cat between his legs.

"If you want to come along, hurry up and get in the car."

"Uh...ah?" Ran Mouri seemed to recognize the young man she had just seen at the amusement park, and was a little stunned.

But Conan, impatient as ever, insisted on pulling her onto the car.

Yoruichi Toyama walked halfway around the front of the car and got into the passenger seat.

"You can drive now."

"Wh...hey, what's going on?!" Kogoro Mouri was stunned for a long time before finally coming to his senses and starting to yell.

"I have important business to attend to. What are you doing here, Xiaolan? And you, who are you? Why didn't you drive earlier?"

Just now, referring to the brief moment when Yuanshan Ye got out of the car, not only did he turn around in front of the car, but the driver didn't dare to start it at all. The main thing was...

"I haven't paid the fare yet," Toyama Yoichi said with a smile, taking out the few large bills from his pocket and slapping them on the dashboard.

"Alright, driver, let's go. Let's go to the place this uncle mentioned."

"We'll split the fare together."

...

The taxi, carrying four people and a cat, drove onto the highway leading to Yayoi town.

Kogoro Mouri didn't want to send Ran and Conan back; as for Yoruichi Toyama, this uninvited guest, he saw her as a thorn in his side.

"Hey kid, who are you anyway? You've messed up my plans, you're in for it..."

He sounded like he was going to be tough, but because the other party offered to pay for the fare, he became less and less energetic as he spoke.

Unfortunately, at this time, Kogoro Mouri was still an alcoholic middle-aged man with no clients. It was already a huge expense for him to take a taxi all the way to Yayoi Town to get a job.

He didn't want to have to pay extra for this complete stranger just to drive Yoruichi away.

Yoruichi Toyama, who had basically guessed the man's thought process, smiled but said nothing.

Conan suddenly pointed at him and shouted, "Ah! You're that—"

—The amusement park detective.

Before he could utter those words, he quickly swallowed them back.

On his first day as Conan, Shinichi Kudo was clearly not used to his new identity and almost gave himself away.

"Huh? Conan, do you know this older brother too?" Ran asked curiously.

"That's right!" Fortunately, the high school detective, even after shrinking, was still as sharp as ever. He blinked and immediately adopted an innocent, childlike demeanor. "He's that... that... Man in Black agent! The one who handles alien incidents!"

This immediately dispelled the suspicions of the Mori father and daughter. Kogoro Mori glanced at his daughter impatiently.

"Xiao Lan, who is this kid? Why did you bring him home?"

"He's a relative of Professor Agasa. He said his parents were in a car accident and were hospitalized, so I'm helping to take care of them for a few days."

"Also, this guy isn't a secret agent!" Ran answered her father's question, then turned to Conan and gently explained, while also telling Kogoro, "His name is Yoruichi Toyama, he's a detective. Shinichi and I met him at the amusement park today."

...Of course I know.

Conan thought silently.

Recalling his experience of following those two suspicious men in black after leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, only to be killed and drugged into a child, Shinichi Kudo—now Conan Edogawa—clenched his fists in resentment.

Just now, as soon as Ran and I arrived downstairs at the detective agency, we saw Uncle Kogoro running out like his pants were on fire, saying that he had received a case.

The daughter of a wealthy man was kidnapped, and her kidnapper was said to be a tall man in black!

Could it be those people? ...

Could it be that Yoruichi Toyama appeared before me because of this, and insisted on going with the old man? ...

With a small body and a big head, he has become a child detective, now filled with suspicion and wariness that belies his appearance.

In contrast, Kogoro's attitude towards Yoruichi Toyama leans more towards simple dislike.

Detective... Ah!

No wonder he insisted on coming with me to meet the client.

They're definitely here to cause trouble!

I, Kogoro Mouri, a former detective with the Metropolitan Police Department and the current head of the Mouri Detective Agency, am a renowned detective comparable to Kogoro Akechi in the Heisei era. How could I let a mere brat like you steal my business!

"Hey, you brat, don't you know the rules of the trade?" Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri spoke coldly, "This case was brought to me directly by the client, how could you..."

Having already guessed that the uncle would say that, Toyama Yoruichi smiled.

"No, I don't want to compete with Mr. Mori for this commission. I'm just simply interested in the case."

Isn't that the same?

Kogoro was about to speak again in anger when he heard the young man in the seat in front of him say in a calm tone:

“Not only me, but I suspect that Mr. Mori’s old friend, Inspector Megure, would also be very interested.”

"Should I call him over?"

Call the police? ...

When Kogoro Mouri first experienced Yoruichi Toyama's "call the police when in trouble" approach, he was both shocked and angry, and his whole body stiffened.
