As he spoke, he teased Akechi again, who snorted in response, clearly holding back from speaking.

Rei Furuya smiled, this time with a hint of approval.

"In short, you can completely hand over the rest of the work to me."

"I will do everything I can to protect Miss Akemi."

As he spoke, he stood up and suddenly scratched his short, light blonde hair with a hint of annoyance.

"Oh no, how am I supposed to go out looking like this? The boss will probably find it strange..."

"You're leaving already?" Yoruichi Toyama asked in surprise. "So simple?"

As he spoke, he took off a sweatshirt and threw it at Furuya.

Rei Furuya readily agreed and unfolded his sweatshirt, covering his head and face like a cloak, leaving only his eyes exposed.

"It's just like being a thief," Akechi scoffed.

Perhaps it was because of this look that Rei Furuya let loose and started chuckling.

"Of course it's not just me. All of you will have to come back with me to give statements."

...

Kazami Yuya, who had been left at the entrance of the coffee shop, was squatting on the steps, having a lively conversation with Boss Shigeru about fishing tips. He was startled when he suddenly saw his boss come out in a fresh and unconventional manner and quickly stood up straight.

Fortunately, Furuya Rei only asked him to bring Miyano Akemi into the car.

The white Mazda RX-7 FD3S roared to life, its tires screeching, and it almost did a 180-degree turn on the spot before speeding back the way it came.

Akechi huffed and puffed as he started his BMW to catch up, but he didn't forget to remind Yoruichi Toyama to fasten her seatbelt.

"Hey, you...you're not going to speed again, are you?"

Seeing that Akechi had just left the city and floored the accelerator, Yoruichi Toyama stammered a question.

Subconsciously, she grabbed Taro's fur, causing him to let out a pitiful meow.

“Hold on tight,” Wise replied succinctly.

The car sped forward like a blue lightning bolt.

"Ahhhhh stop it...!"

Fortunately, despite driving very fast, neither Rei Furuya nor Akechi used any special skills that were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

After regaining her composure, Yoruichi Toyama took a breath and couldn't help but ask Akechi why they had been speeding on their way to Fudoyama City.

At the time, Mingzhi said on the phone, "I'll take them there."

The question is, if it was just a normal way of leading the way, how could it turn into speeding?

Yoruichi Toyama had a lot of trust in Akechi's professional ethics.

Ike, because he still harbored some resentment towards Furuya Rei, simply offered a brief explanation.

Just like he had told Yoruichi Toyama before, he went to a certain "senior" in the Metropolitan Police Department and said that he needed to contact someone in the Public Security Bureau.

It wasn't a question related to the left, center, or right, nor was it a matter that could be handed over to the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department. Just by using personal connections instead of following procedures, his "senior" understood perfectly and directed him to Kazami Yuya of the Public Security Department.

Although the Ministry of Public Security is located within the Metropolitan Police Department, it is actually under the jurisdiction of the National Police Agency.

Kazami Yuya appears to be an ordinary person, with nothing outstanding about him, and doesn't seem to be carrying out any secret mission.

That means there are higher-level people behind him.

Having figured this out, Masahiro revealed his investigation of Yoruichi Toyama to Yuya Kazami.

Kazami did not reply at the time, but two days later informed Akechi and asked him to bring Yoruichi Toyama and "Hirota Masami" to the Metropolitan Police Department for further investigation.

This was, of course, an instruction from Kazami's superior. Knowing that he had already made contact with the other party and had no other intentions, Akechi drove to Mount Fudo.

However, they discovered the following vehicle halfway there.

"You mean they said they wanted you to take us there, but actually they were planning a surprise attack?"

Yoruichi Toyama suddenly realized why Akechi, who always prided himself on his image, looked so angry from the moment they met.

I had heard before that there was a rift between criminal police and public security police in Japan, and now I've witnessed it firsthand.

“I should have known,” Mingzhi said, still angry. “How could spies operate openly and honestly!”

So that's your reason for racing him? ...

Yoruichi Toyama felt a little helpless. Wasn't the young master Akechi usually quite calm? He also had such an impulsive side.

And of all people to race with, you had to race with Rei Furuya...

Did you know he pilots a Gundam? ...

...

Yoruichi Toyama had lost count of how many times she had entered the Metropolitan Police Department building.

Because of Rei Furuya's special identity, in order to avoid attracting attention, the investigation into Akemi Miyano was still placed in the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, nominally under the supervision of Yuya Kazami.

Yoruichi Toyama then remembered to mention Conan.

"You mean the little assistant to the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, a 7-year-old child?"

Kazami Yuya stared at him with an incredulous expression.

"According to the information, that Shinichi Kudo is a full 10 years older than him, right?"

Yoruichi Toyama could only shrug.

"That's what he told me himself, believe it or not."

"Or you could secretly investigate him as well."

"As far as I know, he knows the organization's two main assassins, Gin and Vodka."

Kazami Yuya adjusted his glasses and remained silent for a long time.

It seems he is familiar with both names.

Anyway, we can just leave the matter of dealing with the distillery to the police.

"I will report the truth to Mr. Furuya." Kazami nodded finally and said, "You can leave now."
