Yoruichi Toyama, who had no intention of stealing the spotlight in this incident, simply took on the role of the straight man.
"So, this guy approached Miss Lan Zexi in the first place because..."
Akechi nodded, looking at Mitsui Fumiya, whose face was ashen, with ease.
"Although I don't know much about them, these interpersonal relationships were recorded during the previous personnel screening."
"Mr. Mitsui met Ms. Akane, who was still in high school, three years ago. At that time, he was a student at Tokyo Medical University."
"Then, during that summer vacation, Mr. Mitsui 'accidentally' saved Chairman Aizawa, who was suffering from a sudden heart attack, while traveling, and gained the chairman's favor."
"But as a private healthcare doctor, one cannot access the vast coffers of the Lanze Group."
"That's why Miss Lan Zexi had the opportunity to return to her biological father's side and become the undisputed heir... or at least one of the heirs."
Considering that Lan Zexi's management skills were no less than those of her two older brothers, the detectives all nodded in agreement.
“However,” Yoruichi Toyama glanced leisurely at Fumiya Mitsui, who was fuming with rage, and deliberately added insult to injury, “even if Miss Aizawa becomes the undisputed heir, Mr. Mitsui may not necessarily…”
The incomplete sentence is even more ironic than the complete one.
"What do you know!" Mitsui Fumiya said decisively, whether out of criminal confidence or male pride, "Akane and I have been in love for a long time, she will not choose anyone else... those clowns!"
Fortunately, after this self-important "King of Xisa" was captured, the other people in the office were asked to leave; otherwise, everyone would have been in for a huge fight over jealousy.
However, considering what Mingzhi said, since he and Lan Zexi had known each other for a long time and might have started dating, his words couldn't be considered wrong.
Just as the two high school detectives were thinking this, Akechi let out a disdainful laugh.
"Really? Then why did you plan this incident?"
"Are you really that confident in Miss Lanze's feelings?"
The knife that Yoruichi Toyama had just stabbed was twisted and turned by those two sentences, and then pulled out violently.
The young master's destructive power, tsk...
Mitsui's face turned completely black.
Yuanshan Ye, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, clapped his hands enthusiastically.
"You mean, he also wants to use this incident to make Miss Lan Ze fall head over heels in love with him?"
"You mean that... suspension bridge effect?"
Upon hearing this word, both Hakuba Saguru and Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up.
“Yes, if we’ve been through thick and thin together… no, he could even deliberately get injured…” Hakuba Saguru murmured.
"Anyway, those people are 'King Xisa's' men, aren't they? He can command them online, and on the surface, he can just play the innocent victim of a terrorist attack, bravely injured while protecting Miss Lanze..."
"Once all the crises are resolved according to his plan, he will naturally win Miss Lan Ze's heart and thus gain control of the Lan Ze Group!"
Looking at Mitsui's gloomy face and his half-open mouth, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal, everyone knew they had guessed correctly.
Yoruichi Toyama clicked his tongue again in the shadows.
You top students put so much pressure on people!
I was just giving you a slight hint in that direction, and you've all been discussing it so much that you've practically recreated the original story.
Hattori Heiji, who was only a step too late to speak, scratched his head, realized he had no more lines to say, and clicked his tongue in agreement.
"Well... that's the kind of motivation? That's so boring, so cliché!"
Wise looked at him and smiled kindly.
"The motives of criminals are never anything but cliché."
"After all, the police don't solve cases for the sake of sensationalism."
"Ah...that's true."
Hattori Heiji, along with Hakuba Saguru, naturally knew that they would eventually pursue a career in the police force. The person in front of them was, after all, a senior, so they humbly accepted this advice.
Yoruichi Toyama's mind suddenly shifted, and she thought, "There are also unconventional ones!"
For example, a certain puppeteer...
Since the truth had basically come to light, everyone was in a state of sage-like tranquility and remained silent for a moment.
However, Mitsui Fumiya perked up again before being taken away by the police officers, shouting all the way.
"You mortals, mortals! You can't stop me!"
"I am King Sisa! The ruler of the world!"
"You wait, the judgment will come, you will see my true form in the Deep Blue Ruins and face my judgment!"
"..."
The group of police officers and detectives, the youngest of whom was already a high school sophomore, looked at each other in bewilderment in the face of this chuunibyou-esque declaration, their feet digging into the three-bedroom apartment.
"I said, can we knock him out?" Hattori Heiji suggested, "He's too noisy!"
"No..." It's hard to say how much regret is in a wise answer.
Having been unable to participate in the mockery and attacks, and instead focusing on deducing the case, Inspector Shiratori, now recovering from his shock, looked somewhat worried.
"As far as I know, that 'Neom Kingdom' has quite a few online members, including many social celebrities..."
"Let's leave the cleanup to some incredibly capable professionals," Mingzhi said sarcastically, clearly implying someone.
That makes sense, Yoruichi thought. This kind of thing, which is similar to a cult, should be handed over to either the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department or the Public Security Bureau. It's definitely not the job of criminal police.
They dug out this hot potato and then tossed it into the arms of Officer Furuya and his team.
