Upon seeing such a young and elegant female detective as Miyano Akemi, Officer Sato, who was also a woman in a group of men, immediately became interested, pulled her aside, and soon began chatting intimately.

"Really? Officer Sato has such a mischievous side too!" Miyano Akemi said with a smile after hearing a few amusing anecdotes from Sato.

“They’re all good colleagues who have been through thick and thin together, so they wouldn’t care about those things,” Sato Miwako replied with a mischievous smile.

"I see! Have you ever played a prank on Inspector Megure?"

A seemingly casual remark suddenly silenced everyone who was about to make fun of the friendship between the two young women.

An awkward atmosphere arose at the scene.

Yoruichi Toyama turned to look at the black cat on her shoulder and smiled helplessly.

Miss Mingmei is a good person in every way, except that she is extremely protective of her own.

When Akechi confronted Yoruichi directly, questioning whether she was a puppeteer from hell, she immediately turned hostile.

Once Mingzhi became "one of their own," she began to defend him.

The sharpness of this question might not be understood by Officer Sato, who hadn't just clashed with Akechi Ken, but the gossipy men around him certainly noticed it.

“Ahem, Akemi…” Yoruichi Toyama had to gently tug at Akemi Miyano’s arm.

Hey ladies, we're here to build rapport with the police, not to launch a sweeping generalization!

Unfortunately, Akemi Miyano completely ignored him, and Officer Sato was so oblivious that he didn't notice anything amiss.

He laughed and said, "How could I dare! Inspector Megure is not only my superior, but also like a father to me!"

“We have always respected him.”

“Then I understand.” Miyano Akemi said deliberately, drawing out her words as she glanced at the tense faces of the surrounding police officers.

"So, what you respect isn't the ability to hold this position, but age!"

"Oh, sorry, Officer Sato, I wasn't referring to you!"

After saying that, he covered his mouth with his hand, looking flustered as if he had said something wrong.

A group of burly male police officers, who would dare to take a fight with a weak woman?

"Ahem, Akemi..." Yoruichi Toyama had no choice but to speak.

While it's certainly enjoyable to watch Akemi rampage through the battlefield, continuing this conversation will only damage the harmony.

"By the way, Mr. Matsumoto, could we go and say hello to the newcomers?"

"I've heard that Mr. Matsumoto's daughter is a great beauty!"

Under normal circumstances, this request might have seemed a bit presumptuous, but for Matsumoto, the manager who realized that his subordinates' inappropriate words and actions had been caught, he was happy to settle things peacefully.

Therefore, she smiled and agreed, and invited Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi Miyano to go to the bridal preparation room together.

"Ah, Officer, wait for me!" Inspector Megure paused for a moment, then caught up.

Only the group of people who had just been gossiping remained, looking at each other blankly.

...

As Yoruichi Toyama expected, besides the bride Sayuri, there were two familiar faces in the preparation room.

"you……"

Judging from Conan's arrogant expression, he clearly wanted to say, "Why are you everywhere?" but ultimately swallowed it back.

Perhaps it's because I was so scared by Amuro Tooru at the video game company last time, and it's left some lingering effects.

After Ran figured out why Yoruichi Toyama was with a gorilla-like person, she pulled the girl next to her over to introduce them.

That girl with brown, shoulder-length hair who looks a bit simple-minded is none other than Ran's classmate, the rich and beautiful Sonoko Suzuki, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group.

"Hey, Xiaolan, when did you meet such a handsome guy? Aren't you going to introduce him to me?"

The moment this young lady opened her mouth, she revealed her true colors as a lovesick fool.

While it embarrassed Yoruichi Toyama, it amused Akemi Miyano so much that she couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, you naturally know Mori too." Manager Matsumoto's mind worked quickly.

Therefore, he stopped paying attention to the young people's interactions and instead looked at his daughter in her wedding dress.

At 27 years old, Sayuri Matsumoto was indeed at the peak of her female beauty.

This is largely due to her being immersed in the wonderful mood of about to walk down the aisle with her lover.

Even outsiders like Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi Miyano could see that she radiated happiness.

They actually... attacked someone like that...

Thinking about the murderer's actions, Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment.

He casually patted Taro on the shoulder.

Don't worry, I know what to do.

Surprisingly, Taro agreed very readily this time.

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet..."

【It's just about stopping Sayuri from drinking that poisoned beverage, leave it to me!】

Taro spoke with complete confidence, even stretching on Yoruichi Toyama's shoulder.

"Ah, this cat is so cute!" Little Lily, dressed in a wedding gown, exclaimed eagerly.

But Ran and Sonoko stepped in front of her first.

"No, teacher, you've worked so hard to finish your makeup, don't ruin it."

Sayuri, who was three years older than Yoruichi Toyama and a full ten years older than Ran and the others, suddenly became as sulky as a child.

Just one sentence and one action are enough to show that she is still innocent and naive.

If it weren't for this kind of temperament, she wouldn't have drunk the poisoned beverage knowing that her lover had poisoned it.

Call it being love-struck or whatever, it's not a reason for an innocent person to be hurt.
