What detective? What murderer?

That's all there is to it!

"Hey, Toyama!" Conan, who had already noticed the problem, called out again while his three friends were deep in thought.

Yoruichi Toyama immediately realized what was happening.

"By the way, now that we've found my mom and my sister, I'll take them home first."

"Then I'll go with you..."

Eager to shake off his three noisy friends, Conan was about to take a step when he was pulled back from behind.

"Conan, where are you going?" Genta asked, behaving like a leader among the children. "The movie isn't over yet!"

"W-what?" Conan broke out in a cold sweat. "Wasn't Gomera over?"

"That's just the first one! Today's screening is a special one, all three are showing back-to-back!"

The three little ones, their faces beaming with excitement, pointed to the movie schedule on the wall.

"My God..." Conan, feeling utterly powerless, was dragged back and carried away into the distance. "Please spare me..."

"Oh, right, Ai-chan!" Ayumi, who had walked halfway back, suddenly ran over and took Shiho's hand. "Are you leaving too?"

"Let's watch Gomera together!"

"Huh?" Shiho was a little stunned by the sudden invitation. She subconsciously looked up, but not at Akemi. Instead, she looked at the person being dragged towards the front door by Yoruichi Toyama.

"I...I want to go back with Mom...Auntie..."

"Xiao Ai," Gao Yuan smiled and waved at her, "stay with your sister!"

"Didn't you agree to watch Gomera?"

Yes, sister...

Shiho stood there, looking from their tightly clasped hands up to Akemi gazing into her smiling eyes.

My sister... cut her hair short, wore glasses, and her style of dress is completely different from before...

But for Shiho, it was immediately obvious that she was Akemi-neechan.

That was a connection of souls that even transcended blood ties.

Shiho knew that her sister was thinking the same thing as her at that moment.

These sisters will never be separated again...

But……

Is reuniting with my sister something that requires exchanging someone else's... "his" freedom?

...

“So, my dear son,” Takato said sarcastically as he walked, his arm gripped tightly by Yoruichi Toyama, “now you’re taking your old mother to visit the police station, aren’t you?”

"Otherwise what?" Yoru Toyama retorted sarcastically. "Do you think that because you protected Miyano... oh, Ai, I should reward you and let you off the hook?"

“Keep those things to Mingzhi and let him write them down in the record.”

Gao Yuan chuckled upon hearing this.

"I did not mean that."

"But Toyama-kun, have you ever thought about this? I'm the kind of person who can even escape from a detention center!"

"Would a regular police station or local police station be able to keep me here?"

This is indeed a problem.

Yoichi Toyama sighed with a sense of sympathy as he recalled Akechi's repeated complaints about his colleagues at the detention center being unhelpful.

However, those are not within my consideration.

"It's okay, Mom!" Yoruichi Toyama said loudly, grinning. "You know what? I'm a special advisor for the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division!"

"Even if you want to visit the Metropolitan Police Department, I can accompany you!"
