In his former position, Gendo Fujiwara witnessed far too much darkness and corruption within the police system.
Therefore, he resigned in anger and gathered his former subordinates to form a secret assassination organization.
The one chosen for the operation was his former comrade, Saito Yoshitsugu, who had now traded his faith in justice for a high-ranking position.
As Yoruichi Toyama heard Nanjo's increasingly deep voice, he thought to himself, "Good heavens!"
What kind of Gotham plot is this?!
That Fujiwara Genmichi probably still thinks he's the righteous Bruce Wayne, doesn't he?
"Uh, so what happened in the end?"
Even knowing what happened to Akechi and the others later, Yoruichi Toyama still couldn't help but ask.
“We followed Inspector Akechi, who had gone alone to Fujiwara Gendo's residence, and there we persuaded him to turn himself in and reveal the inside story he had uncovered to the public…”
"That's so simple?" Yoruichi Toyama blurted out in surprise.
It's hard to imagine that Fujiwara, who had already resorted to such extreme measures, could be persuaded by a few rookie police officers.
This time, Nanjo smiled very brightly.
"It's probably because I remembered my connection with Inspector Akechi's father, and I also saw that there are still people in the police force who firmly believe in justice."
This conclusion is too simplistic, making it impossible to guess what kind of mental journey Fujiwara went through.
However, like Saito, they should both still have the conscience and sense of honor of being police officers.
Perhaps that's why they decided to entrust everything to a younger generation like Mingzhi, hoping to see a police officer who truly symbolizes justice and light.
The exposure of past events forced Chief Saito to resign, and the large amount of evidence provided by Fujiwara led to a major personnel reshuffle within the Metropolitan Police Department.
For those at the top, this is certainly not something to be happy about.
The group of people who were wise enough to trigger this earthquake were not rewarded, but instead met with blatant suppression and retaliation.
Aside from Mingzhi and Huangdi, who were elites and still had backgrounds and exploitable value, thus retaining their positions, several former close associates were kicked out of the department.
"We didn't even have time for a final get-together to say goodbye properly," Takagi complained, gazing at the road stretching into the distance.
"This summons came very suddenly. Otherwise, I would definitely have asked Akechi in person what he meant."
It must be... guilt, right?
I think of you, Yuanshan, at night.
When a group of subordinates who followed him to investigate desperately and finally succeeded in uncovering the truth were retaliated against by the forces behind the scenes, he could hardly protect any of them.
While Mingzhi at the time might not have regretted it, he was probably filled with self-reproach.
Recalling what Akechi had said to her that night on the Izu Peninsula, Yoruichi Toyama began to understand where his habit of pushing people away when faced with problems came from.
but……
"However, the fact that he remembered to call us all back to help this time shows that he has improved somewhat," Takagi said with a rather arrogant air, referring to himself as a senior.
Nanjo smiled gently.
"Yes! That lone wolf Inspector Akechi has finally learned to call in reinforcements!"
Call for backup?
A joyful night amidst distant mountains.
I know this very well!
I had just turned this thought to myself when I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that Mingzhi is calling for backup this time because he learned it from me?
...
After finding out which ward Sato was in at the hospital, Takagi and Nanjo went there first.
Yoruichi Toyama went to visit Ran and also met up with Akemi.
Upon entering the ward, I saw Mingmei and Xiaolan sitting side by side on the sofa, chatting animatedly.
Kogoro and Eri were not in the room, but a familiar figure was standing by the window.
Yoruichi Toyama paused for a moment.
But I also felt a sense of relief.
Since a certain agent has personally taken action, Xiaolan's safety is definitely not a problem.
After greeting Amuro Tooru, Yoruichi Toyama walked up to Ran and gave her a friendly smile.
"Miss Xiaolan, do you remember me?"
"I'm sorry..." Although it was an apology, Xiaolan's expression was much brighter than I had imagined. "Ms. Mingmei is telling me about the past, but I don't remember any of it."
Akemi patted her hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry, the doctor said it's just a temporary phenomenon."
"And you see, even though you don't remember many things, the habits are still there, and you can slowly recall them through those habits."
Habit?
Yoruichi Toyama thought about it and realized that this was a good idea.
Xiaolan's amnesia is a psychological problem caused by a stimulus. In other words, she forgot those things in order to protect herself from certain psychological harm.
Simply trying to instill these ideas in her won't work; she will still subconsciously refuse to accept them.
It would be better to start with her daily life and gradually guide her back to her previous path.
only……
Why did Xiaolan look a little embarrassed when Mingmei said these words?
As Yoruichi Toyama pondered this, she looked around the hospital room and then asked Tooru Amuro, "Where's Conan?"
Why isn't that guy here with his little Lan sister? Could it be that he's discovered some clues and is planning to solve the case first?
Based on the information revealed so far, Yoruichi Toyama doesn't think Conan has a chance to have a flash of inspiration, a flash of light that streaks across the back of his head, and then all the mysteries are solved.
I'd rather spend some time here getting to know Xiaolan better.
By the way, I wonder if he mentioned to Amuro Tooru that he wanted to tell Ran the truth...
Amuro Tooru shrugged: "Conan was originally going to stay here, but just now he got a whirlwind kick from Ran-neechan..."
