As she spoke, she turned to Yamanami Keisuke, who had been ignored and dared not utter a sound, and pointed to his face, which was filled with fear yet still held a sliver of hope.

"Look at this man's face. Do you think that letting him die for no reason will atone for his sins?"

"Or do you think that after what just happened, he can sincerely repent now?"

"What...what have I repented for?" Yamanami Keisuke retorted defiantly, his small eyes gleaming with malice.

"Although Kanna Yuzuki was my subordinate, I am very sorry that she committed suicide because she could not bear the work pressure."

"But those are normal situations in the workplace, how can you say that I drove her to her death?"

“Every year in Japan, there are people who commit suicide due to work pressure. Should we always blame their bosses?”

"You bastard!" Kindaichi raised his hand in anger, but was immediately stopped by Yoruichi Toyama.

"Don't hit him, don't hit him, once is enough." Yoruichi Toyama said seriously after she had finished hitting him. "If you hit him again, he will have more excuses."

"What's needed to get this guy to confess isn't violence."

"It's public opinion."

"Wh-what?"

"Kindaichi-kun, aren't you quite familiar with that Mr. Itsuki?" Yoruichi Toyama reminded him, "How about asking him to write an interview for Mr. Nagakura?"

"Childhood sweethearts, about to walk down the aisle, are separated forever by workplace bullying."

"The heartbroken fiancé devised a meticulous plan, willing to kill to seek justice for his lover."

"This kind of content should be very topical, right?"

Kindaichi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and even Miyuki clapped and cheered from the side.

"Oh right, I always thought bullying only happened in schools, I didn't expect it to happen in the workplace too!"

"It's quite common, to put it simply," Yoruichi Toyama sighed softly.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of Japanese society, victims of bullying often choose to remain silent rather than fight back.

They are the weak, and they don't even know how to become strong.

Just like Nagakura and his lover, they could only choose between two different extremes in the end.

Extremes can only lead to tragedy.

From Yoruichi Toyama's perspective, dealing with this kind of situation boils down to one word:

Noisy.

If you confront someone who dares to infringe upon your rights without considering the consequences, they will then start to consider the consequences.

After all, people like them are only good at bullying those weaker than themselves. Once they are hurt in the slightest, they will shrink back faster than anyone else.

As for Nagakura Shinpachi's current situation, there are no consequences he can worry about.

Even if he surrenders, he will still be charged with attempted murder, leaving an indelible stain on his life.

Given Japan's social practice of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, he will be the next one to be bullied by the public.

So let him make a scene, let the whole society know his story, his hardships, and especially his unwavering love until death.

This will garner public sympathy towards him and Kanna.

Only then will Yongcang have a foothold in the future.

His lover, Kanna, would not be easily smeared by a scumbag like Yamanami.

Seeing that Nagakura Shinpachi still looked somewhat hesitant, Kindaichi and Miyuki flanked him from both sides, chattering incessantly, trying to persuade him.

Keisuke Yamanami seemed to have something else to say, but when he met Yoruichi Toyama's gaze, he trembled and unconsciously covered his face.

...

When the rain stopped, the police car finally arrived.

Yoruichi Toyama really wanted to ask them sarcastically if they were reluctant to drive their car out after just washing it.

At a glance, one could see that in one of the cars, Mingzhi was sitting in the driver's seat.

The fact that the young master would condescend to pick her up personally, and not even in his beloved BMW, gave Yoruichi a sudden sense of foreboding.

The way Mingzhi looked at him seemed to confirm this.

Using his authority, he sent everyone to another car, regardless of whether it was crowded or not, and then nodded to Yoruichi Toyama to sit in the passenger seat.

He even went against his usual practice and didn't greet Taro when he jumped onto the back seat.

"Yuanshan, there's something I need to tell you..."

As he spoke, Mingzhi's gaze shifted away, taking the opportunity of restarting the car to look straight at the end of the road.

"Promise me you won't rush..."

“I’m getting impatient,” Yoruichi Toyama replied bluntly.

Since I met him, I've never seen Mingzhi so indecisive.

This shows that the situation is serious.

"Speak quickly!"

Suppressing all her wild thoughts, Yoruichi Toyama urged her on.

His response was a sudden, forceful press of the accelerator.

The police car roared off, its siren blaring, speeding along the road ignoring traffic lights.

“It’s Miss Akemi,” Akechi’s voice still sounded harsh despite the loud sirens, “She’s missing.”

...

Akemi disappeared when she followed Shinmi Nishiki to the final stop.

As instructed by Shinpachi Nagakura via computer, the six-person ransom team would regroup via different routes after shaking off the pursuing police officers.

This completed the final step in the meticulously planned murder.

However, because Yoruichi Toyama and her team caught up with Shinpachi Nagakura in time and stopped him from killing, the other detectives were able to withdraw with peace of mind.

Because of her disguise, Akemi, who was not discovered by Nishiki Shinmi, was also recalled through a wireless earpiece used for communication.

However, she did not return.
