According to Taro, he could at most know which characters were involved in the plot, but he was unsure when the case would occur.
The only thing Yoruichi Toyama could remember was that the murder at the art museum must have happened during the day.
What if it's tomorrow?
The bank robbery had already caught him off guard; the art museum matter could not be delayed any longer.
Since I'd like to keep you company, I'll ask Yoko Okino for a favor.
The female celebrity was quite obliging; her eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, "I know that art museum; I've visited it before."
"It houses many works by relatively unknown artists, and it can be said to have a very distinctive style."
"Could it be... that Mr. Toyama is suggesting we get together sometime when we have time..."
Seeing Yoko Okino's sly expression that seemed to say, "Do you want to ask me out?", Yoruichi Toyama was slightly speechless.
Girl, you were almost tricked by your ex-boyfriend a couple of days ago, weren't you?
So you've overcome your trauma so quickly, are you planning to start a second spring in your life? ...
To prevent her from continuing to overthink, Yoruichi Toyama quickly explained her intentions.
Since Director Ochiai said that the art museum is private and the city government has no way to regulate the behavior of capitalists, the only option is to mobilize the masses.
Judging from Yoko Okino's reaction, it's clear that the citizens of Beika have a rather favorable impression of this art museum.
Then let's ask this national idol to promote it, to give it some media exposure, and maybe even get Ochiai and his staff to play the victim...
That's how public opinion started to rise, isn't it?
Sure enough, upon hearing Yoruichi Toyama's account of the museum's current state, Yoko Okino clapped her hands excitedly.
"How can that be! The Mihana Art Museum holds many of our childhood memories and has nurtured our character. How can we allow culture to be lost from our lives!"
“I happen to have a hosting gig recently. The producer there really enjoys doing social and current affairs interviews. I’ll go talk to him tomorrow and do an interview about an art museum.”
“By the way, Mr. Toyama,” the female celebrity said, giving a bright smile, “in that case, come with me to the TV station tomorrow.”
"Perhaps Mr. Toyama will also have a chance to appear on camera!"
...
Hastily accepting the enthusiastic invitation from Ms. Yoko, Yoichi Toyama fled in panic.
Appearing on TV shows or even getting a minor role in a TV series isn't necessarily a bad thing, but not now!
If Miyano Akemi sees this in a few days, I wonder what kind of suspicion she will have about me.
Isn't this the result of your meddling?
Taro, who was under his arm, said something coolly.
However, it seems they have given up trying to stop it.
Because there were only two floors between the two floors, Yoruichi Toyama walked directly down the stairwell to her 23rd-floor apartment.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the building, I slapped my forehead again, turned around and went to the elevator lobby to press the elevator button.
Where are you going so late at night?
Taro asked casually.
"Go and inform Mr. Ochiai!"
"Otherwise, if he has everything prepared and kills that Mr. Zhenzhong as planned tomorrow, what will the production team film there?"
"Is this a case of pursuing the killer?"
The black cat, finding the idea reasonable, was about to nod when it reconsidered and began to struggle again.
[Go by yourself! I'm a cat, I'm going back to sleep!]
"Come on, you fake cat!"
...
Arriving at the door of Mr. Ochiai's house, which she had visited once during the day, Yoruichi Toyama rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered.
[I already told you, even a great swordsman needs to sleep at night!]
Yoruichi Toyama scoffed.
"Help me check the location. I suspect the old man is dressed up as Ghost Rider at the art museum to scare people."
Taro paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
It seems that Mr. Ochiai is indeed a man of action.
Yoruichi Toyama took off running towards the art museum.
The art museum at night has a unique tranquil charm under the streetlights and dim moonlight.
But Yoruichi Toyama didn't have time to admire it and jumped over the wall.
Perhaps because the art museum was about to change hands, the security guards weren't checking as strictly, and he didn't discover this uninvited guest until he ran into the exhibition hall.
And a fully armored knight standing face to face with him, as if about to have a duel.
Under the bright flashlight beam, the knight's armor emitted a deep, eerie light, making it look like something out of a horror movie.
As a security guard at the art museum, and one who had successfully passed his probationary period and become a full-time employee, he naturally recognized the armor as one of the museum's exhibits.
Ghosts, spirits?
Wasn't it forbidden for spirits to exist after the Ming Dynasty's Reformation? ...
The two security guards were so frightened that they stood there, lost in their own thoughts.
At the same time, Yoruichi Toyama burst into laughter, her laughter bright and clear, as if she had seen a good friend playing a prank.
"Director Ochiai, your way of guiding the tour is truly ingenious! No wonder you're the person who knows the museum best!"
She casually put the cat down on the ground and walked forward step by step.
Approaching a medieval knight clad in armor and wielding a sword.
The two security guards couldn't help but hold their breath.
However, the next moment, a long sigh echoed from within the armor.
The knight lowered his sword and reached out to remove his helmet.
What was revealed was the white-bearded, white-browed face of Director Ochiai.
“Oh dear,” the old man’s voice was full of self-deprecation, “I was just trying to scare you.”
"Mr. Toyama, you really have guts!"
Thanks to the makeshift cover-up by Yoruichi Toyama and Director Ochiai, the two security guards took the scene as some kind of whimsical joke and walked away without a second thought.
