When Mingzhi returned to the office, he looked visibly unwell.
They practically have "idiot bureaucrat" written all over their faces.
Yoruichi Toyama thought for a moment, then went over and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Is it the section chief who disagrees?"
Mingzhi shook his head.
That means other departments are shirking responsibility.
Yoruichi Toyama had seen this kind of thing before.
However, it's quite something that they would try to trip up the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department, which is considered the face of the Metropolitan Police Department.
"They said the weather conditions were bad, the terrain was unclear at night, and the helicopter would be in danger."
After saying this bitterly, Mingzhi turned to leave.
"I've ordered Kenchi and the others to prepare and stand by, even if it means taking a detour, they must get there tonight..."
That means they've located Conan and his friends.
Yoru Toyama thought to himself, if you only look at the Kenmochi group led by Akechi, you would really think that the Japanese police are particularly reliable.
"But Conan said the suspension bridge leading to their villa burned down?"
“There is another mountain road, but it takes two hours longer,” Mingzhi replied with considerable certainty, having clearly studied the map. “The last part can only be done on foot.”
"All in all, it should take about five and a half hours to get there..."
This timing was not reassuring, and in the end, Mingzhi could only sigh.
Yoruichi Toyama pursed her lips and pondered for a while, then her gaze suddenly lit up when she met Takato beside her.
"By the way, Mr. Puppeteer, do you have... a hang glider or something?"
This guy once escaped in a makeshift hot air balloon right in front of Conan!
Like the Wizard of Oz.
However, Gao Yuan shrugged, his smile ambiguous.
"I'm a magician, not an acrobat..."
He didn't say the second half of his sentence, as if he thought that Toyama Yomi looked down on his profession.
"No, don't you magicians...?"
Yoruichi Toyama also stopped talking.
Putting aside whether Gao Yuan has ever used a hang glider, we can't trust him to go with his small frame.
but……
There's definitely one person who'll be fine!
"Hey, Akechi!"
Yoruichi chased after him out the door.
"Can you contact... um, Kaito Kuroba?"
"Shouldn't he always be under police control?"
...
"No way, officer! I haven't been doing anything lately!"
Because he was yawning when he was brought over, Kaito Kuroba even started speaking in a Hong Kong drama accent.
But she immediately perked up when she saw Yoruichi Toyama and her group.
"It's you? Let me tell you, I'm an honest, law-abiding citizen. Don't you dare mess with me, you detective!"
Whether it was a frightened bird, a misperception, or something else, Kaito Kuroba's attitude suddenly became intense.
But what Akechi said next dampened his spirits.
"Alright, Kuroba, let's put personal grudges aside for now. This is a big deal that relates to the police's evaluation score for you."
Although he was a minor, Kaito Kuroba was neither arrested nor prosecuted by the police, but he was under strict supervision.
He is monitored every day, whether he is going to school or going out. He has to report in advance if he needs to leave the Tokyo area. Police officers will also come to talk to him in a friendly manner from time to time.
I don't even have time to flirt with a girl anymore.
Of course, his childhood sweetheart and almost-boyfriend, classmate Nakamori Aoko, has also lost interest in developing a relationship with him lately.
My dad was suspended from his post because of the Phantom Thief Kid incident and was later transferred to a low-level logistics department. His police rank remained the same, but the family's income decreased sharply.
For Nakamori Aoko, this was not only a downgrade in her quality of life, but also a loss of face.
Whenever he sees Kaito Kuroba, he routinely berates him for being the Phantom Thief Kid.
The police have kept the fact that Kaito Kuroba is actually Kaito Kid a secret from the public in order to protect minors and for the sake of a subsequent secret investigation.
As a result, Kaito Kuroba was verbally abused to his face until he was numb all over, but he still had to smile and dare not reveal his true feelings.
We'll have to live like this for at least another three years.
The police will periodically assess him over the next three years to confirm that he has truly "turned over a new leaf" before lifting the ban.
The possibility of lifting the restrictions early cannot be ruled out, but it may also be postponed.
Therefore, for Kaito Kuroba, the "evaluation score" is his Achilles' heel.
The boy, now completely under their control, slumped dejectedly into a chair.
"Alright, what do you need me to do, sir?"
Akechi glanced at Yoruichi Toyama.
Yoruichi Toyama hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your hang glider..."
"It's in my storeroom, I haven't used it in ages, really!"
Kaito Kuroba instinctively straightened up and hurriedly explained.
Yuanshan Yezhi chuckled.
"No, I wanted to ask if you could teach me how to use it?"
"What?……"
After spending ten minutes figuring out the current situation and Yoruichi Toyama's intentions, Kaito Kuroba resolutely waved his hand.
"Don't think this is easy. Let me tell you, you definitely can't do it."
"I'm fairly confident flying over valleys at night when visibility is limited, but you're a beginner..."
That's not wrong.
After thinking it over, Yoruichi Toyama decided to settle for second best.
"Then can you take me there?"
If I remember correctly, this guy was Conan's mentor.
Before the thought could even finish, Kaito Kuroba cast a disdainful glance at him.
"What are you thinking! Don't think you're so thin. Two adults would definitely be overweight."
“Then…” To everyone’s surprise, Akemi suddenly spoke up.
