"Alright, Yuanshan, now answer my question."
Without dwelling on who should have called the police on Toyama Yoruichi, Akechi quickly adopted a businesslike attitude.
It is normal procedure to question the person who reported the incident further to determine the details.
Yuanshan Yeyi nodded and secretly took a breath.
Such poorly crafted testimonies might fool ordinary local police officers.
This guy in front of me isn't so easily fooled.
"You said you overheard two people talking, like they were about to carry out some kind of terrorist act..." Mingzhi asked, carefully choosing his words, "What kind of people were they?"
"Both are adult males; one speaks more forcefully, while the other is timid and submissive..."
Yoruichi Toyama tried to recall the characters from the original story and steered her toward that direction, but she remained vague about it.
After all, nobody knows whether the current plot has been changed, or how it has been changed.
"What's your exact age? What's your appearance, clothing, and figure like?" Mingzhi asked in great detail.
How would I know?
Yoruichi Toyama rolled her eyes inwardly, but outwardly could only honestly reply, "I didn't see clearly; they were in a dimly lit corner of the corridor..."
The only saving grace is that the high-tech hotel management system that Lan Zegang boasted about was not applied to this well-established hotel.
Otherwise, why would a wise person ask themselves? They could simply check the surveillance footage and see for any suspicious individuals.
As expected, Mingzhi pressed further, "Which corner is it?"
"It's outside the banquet hall, turn left..." Yoruichi Toyama pointed and then asked, "Do you need me to take you there to show you?"
His attitude was almost too honest, and Hattori Heiji couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're pretty quick to get into character! Are you treating yourself like a suspect?"
Before he could finish speaking, Hakuba Saguru glared at him, so he coughed and suppressed his smile.
“If he’s a suspect,” Inspector Shiratori, who had been silent until now, spoke up coolly, “Mr. Toyama must also be the kind of suspect with the most criminal experience. He was frighteningly calm throughout!”
“I’m a detective!” Yoruichi Toyama replied calmly, without dwelling on the topic.
Whether Inspector Shiratori simply dislikes him or has conspired with Akechi to play the good cop and the bad cop, they cannot afford to give themselves away now.
The only advantage of spoilers is information asymmetry.
Only by making good use of this point can you achieve your desired goal.
As for the idea of crushing one after another...
Toyama Yoichi looked at the group in front of him and thought to himself that he should be grateful they didn't team up to beat him up.
Mingzhi, who had clearly taken on the main questioning role, waved his hand, stopping the group from arguing on the topic.
“I know that corner,” he said. “The hotel entrance is just outside.”
After they finished speaking, did they leave through the gate? Did they leave together or separately? Where did they go afterward?
I knew this person wasn't easy to fool.
Yoruichi Toyama sighed and said, "I didn't see it!"
"Didn't you see it?"
"Yeah, I stayed hidden in the shadows the whole time, only daring to come out after I heard them leave. If they had discovered me, wouldn't they have known I overheard their plan?"
Yoruichi Toyama shrugged.
"I'm afraid they'll kill me to cover it up."
This time, not only Akechi, but also Inspector Shiratori and Saguru Hakuba showed expressions of "I can't believe you."
Are you still afraid of those two?
With your skills, you could easily defeat ten or eight men, right?
But because they were police officers, they couldn't bring themselves to say things like, "I'm asking ordinary citizens to catch thieves all by themselves."
"Kill them to cover it up?" Hattori Heiji thought of something else. "You said they planted poison gas in the Deep Blue Hotel, do they have any other weapons?"
"I didn't see it clearly..."
Yoruichi Toyama had barely finished answering when Akechi interrupted her.
"Those things are not important for now."
"Since they say the bomb will explode tomorrow, then even if they have an attack planned, they will cooperate with the operation tomorrow."
"We must dispose of the bomb now!"
He didn't press Yoruichi Toyama for more information, but instead turned to Inspector Shiratori to discuss their next move.
“However,” Inspector Shiratori said, then looked troubled, “this matter is being carried out so publicly, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the Aizawa Group and the Schindler Group.”
"And there's the press conference tomorrow. If it's postponed, what about the guests..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Inspector Shiratori, seeing Akechi's rather sarcastic raised eyebrows, silently stopped talking.
What kind of sins did I commit to be working on a case with this guy?
Inspector Shiratori's face clearly showed it.
However, being wise seems not enough.
"Ask those adults, would they rather postpone the press conference or witness the power of the poison gas up close?"
"Maybe it's the latter? Anyway, their pampered lives must be pretty boring."
He said it in a sarcastic tone.
Yoruichi Toyama could hardly help but sigh.
Why didn't I call the police directly?
Isn't it all so that you can take on less unnecessary responsibility?
Why would you deliberately offend someone?
Fortunately, Hakuba Saguru intervened at the right time.
"However, if the other party is a terrorist and plans to launch an attack tomorrow, our actions should indeed not be too conspicuous."
