"You can't even handle the comments from a child..."
As Gao Yuan spoke, he gracefully placed one hand on his chest, on the spot stained with fake blood.
Thinking that she had actually pointed a knife at a child in a fit of anger, Tanaka Kikue buried her head even deeper.
Really? Grandfather wouldn't care at all? ...
My grandfather persisted in performing again because he loved magic and enjoyed bringing joy to people through it...
She herself, the granddaughter of Master Harui Fuden, killed someone because of others' frivolous remarks about the master...
Master Harui Fuden's reputation should not have been burdened with such bloodshed...
Finally, Tanaka Takahisa covered her face with her bound hands and burst into tears.
...
By the time Akechi, Yoruichi Toyama, and the others arrived at the villa by car, everything had already been settled.
Once she realized what was happening, Tanaka Kikue even confessed that she wanted to kill Hamano Toshiya, which was the method used to "disappear Pani".
Although this tragedy did not occur, it is true that she killed Nishiyama Tsutomu.
As the police were about to take her to the police car, Tanaka Kikue stopped arguing and simply turned to look at Kuroba Kaito.
She seemed to have just realized that this person looked exactly like Yoruichi Toyama, who had just arrived.
"You... 'Red Herring,' right?"
"You must be a magician too, right?"
Facing the crowd who were also staring at a pair of brothers who appeared to be twins, Kaito Kuroba suddenly laughed and rushed to the door in a few steps.
Everyone watched as he jumped toward the edge of a cliff not far away.
With a "whoosh," the pristine white glider unfurled in the night sky, bathed in the soft moonlight.
At some point, he not only tore off his disguise mask, but also took off a layer of his clothes.
The phantom thief, known to everyone for his numerous appearances in the news, gracefully flew into the distance in his signature white tuxedo.
"Officer, I've completed this mission!"
"I'll be going now!"
"Aaaaaaah, Lord Kid!!!..."
Echoing Kaito Kuroba's farewell speech was Sonoko's belated shout.
Finding that there was nothing left for her to do, Yoruichi Toyama put her hands in her pockets and strolled over to Takato.
"What happened? Are you hurt?"
Gao Yuan subconsciously shook his head, then raised his eyebrows.
"What are you doing...?"
"Of course I care about you!"
Yoruichi Toyama said this without any attempt to hide it, pulling him close and ruffling his hair.
Unable to resist, Gao Yuan could only roll his eyes.
"Aren't you used to being cared for, Mr. Puppet Master?"
The last title was spoken in a very low voice.
Everyone around was busy, either getting on the bus or helping others onto the bus, and no one noticed the conversation between the "two brothers".
Gao Yuan, realizing that no answer to this question would be appropriate, simply chuckled in the end.
"You..."
"I know I'm a good person, everyone says so, so you don't need to be too touched."
Yoruichi Toyama said shamelessly, leading him to Akechi's car, and the two of them got in.
"It should be said that Mr. Puppet Master was of great help this time."
Surprisingly, even the usually arrogant Akechi turned around and said seriously.
"Thanks."
Gao Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the thanks from the elite police officer, who was practically his mortal enemy.
Then he reached out and touched his chest, adopting a polite demeanor.
"My pleasure."
...
Although it was late at night when they returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, the case couldn't wait, and all those present were taken into account overnight.
Thinking that he almost lost his life under Tanaka Takahisa's wrath, "Disappeared Pani" Hamano Toshiya also broke down in tears in front of the police, deeply repenting for his frivolous remarks to Master Harui Fuden.
Gao Yuan was then taken back to that secret office.
Akemi and Ai were still waiting there, and they smiled with relief as soon as they saw him.
Yoruichi Toyama flicked his forehead with her finger without any hesitation.
"Let this gentleman tell you how he controlled the situation."
"Did you think you were still the same puppeteer you used to be? Able to catch a blade bare-handed?"
"I told you to stall for time until we get here, why wouldn't you listen!"
All the grumbling I'd been holding back along the way finally poured out in a torrent of complaints.
Akemi, and especially Ai, found it both funny and worrying.
"Just tell me if you've managed to control it or not..."
Gao Yuan, feeling dizzy from being hit so hard, rubbed his forehead and muttered a complaint.
"Still talking back!" Yoruichi Toyama glared and swung his fist with the authority of an "older brother".
Gao Yuan realized he had been too casual, but quickly calmed down.
"You should be able to guess that it won't take long, maybe only about half an hour. If Ms. Tanaka leaves our sight, she may have already completed her murder plan."
"The follow-up actions are not important, because people like you..."
As he spoke, Gao Yuan smiled slightly and looked at Toyama Yoruichi.
"What you want is not concrete evidence to solve the case, but to prevent the incident from happening in the first place."
"You are a saint, wishing that no one in the world would die."
“But with just Mr. Kuroba and me, we probably won’t be able to keep an eye on Ms. Tanaka the whole time.”
Yoruichi Toyama did agree with this reasoning.
