"Of course I know that, what do you think he came here in disguise with good intentions? He just wanted to take the opportunity to see Mingmei!"
Yoruichi Toyama rolled her eyes sourly, then stared at Taro.
"Kotaro-kun, please be careful at home. I highly suspect he might come in and search your room, or plant a listening device or something."
"It's a traditional skill of the FBI."
Taro nodded.
[But if he really decides to install a bugging device, should I stop him?]
[I don't think that's necessary. Host, aren't you most fond of that... entrapment scheme?]
[Maybe I can take this opportunity to improve my chances with him...]
Yuanshan Yeyi laughed and casually rubbed the cat's head.
"That makes sense. Then you should just wait and see."
"We've already messed with the winery, why would we be afraid of some little ex-husband?"
Straightening up, Yoruichi Toyama turned and walked out the door, taking Akemi's hand and smiling at the young man opposite her.
"I am Yoruichi Toyama, and my girlfriend is Akemi Hayashi. How should I address you, Mr. Okiya?"
Subaru Okiya is currently a graduate student at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo.
The young man answered fluently, but a cold glint seemed to flash in his narrowed eyes.
...
Before the taxi even reached the Metropolitan Police Department, Yoruichi Toyama dialed the phone number reserved for the Time Traveling Spirit again.
The meowing coming from the other end of the phone sounded a bit reserved.
[Host... what's the matter? Shuichi Akai is still here...]
Oh, he really went!
That's perfect!
Yoruichi Toyama smiled and said, "It's nothing, Kotaro-kun. I just wanted to remind you to keep an eye on the house."
"Also, please don't eat the dish that Mr. Okiya sent!"
"And you still brag about being a good cook? The beef and potatoes are cut into squares and rounds, and the pieces are all different sizes. Not only are they not cooked properly, but they'll give you a stomachache if you eat them."
Not only the cat, but even Shuichi Akai, who was squatting next to it, was stunned by the novelty of seeing a cat answering the phone.
He was still dressed as Subaru Okiya, but when he opened his squinty eyes, he revealed the green eyes that were unique to mixed-race people.
"Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow?"
[Alright... but did you consider that cats can eat raw meat?]
"Oh? That's true! Then you eat it and help us finish it!"
"Aminmei and I might get back late, so we won't be bringing you dinner!"
With a "beep," the phone call ended, leaving Shuichi Akai squatting there, staring at the cat.
For a moment, I couldn't tell which was more insulting.
Does it mean his cooking is inedible, or that you're feeding his cooking to the cat?
Moreover, since he sneaked into someone else's house, we can't use this to hold him accountable.
An FBI ace agent, the distillery's top sniper, who was just about to hone his culinary skills, is deeply wronged!
...
The meeting room of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was quite lively today.
In addition to the local police officers who came from all over the country to establish the joint investigation headquarters, and Yoruichi Toyama, the detective with the title of "special advisor," Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo were also prominently featured.
Each of them also brought a partner.
Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi, Shinichi Kudo and Ran are already well-known, but Kogoro is taking a slightly unconventional approach today.
The big-headed, bespectacled kid who used to run around the scene of incidents, making "ah-le-le" noises to attract attention and then revealing astonishing details, was gone.
Following Kogoro was a tall, handsome man with blond hair and dark skin, who clearly had a mixed-race appearance.
“My apprentice, Amuro Tooru,” Kogoro said, pointing to the popular waiter at Poirot Café, a name familiar to Inspector Megure, Sato, and others.
"He used to be a detective, but he was impressed by my brilliant reasoning and willingly became my apprentice."
"Of course, I also work part-time as a coffee shop employee."
Upon hearing this introduction, Shinichi Kudo and the others laughed heartily and sincerely.
How can it not be considered a part-time job?
What others don't know is that this guy also holds two jobs: one in the police force and the other in a winery.
Seeing Amuro Tooru humbly nod and greet everyone, Yoruichi Toyama's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
They just put a winery executive, who was also an intelligence officer, into the Metropolitan Police Department like that...
Oh, right, if I remember correctly, there were also other distillery executives involved in this incident...
"Let's leave the pleasantries for later. Please take your seats, everyone. Let's start by introducing the case."
As a deep voice rang out, Superintendent Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the newly established head of the investigation headquarters and the supervising officer, appeared before everyone.
He exercised absolute command and launched the joint investigation.
This is a case that Yoruichi Toyama remembers very clearly.
That's why I feel like there's nothing I can do here.
In recent days, several vicious murders have occurred in Tokyo and the prefectures of Shizuoka, Kanagawa, Gunma, and Nagano.
Except for the last victim who died in a car accident due to brake failure, the rest were all stunned with a stun gun and then taken elsewhere to be stabbed in the chest and killed.
If all these people were killed by the same person, the murderer is truly depraved.
Moreover, it also seemed like some kind of ceremony was being held.
Without exception, a mahjong tile was found at each of the murder scenes.
The first victim was next to a one of bamboo, and the subsequent victims were all seven of bamboo.
The circles on the seven of bamboo were colored in different positions.
Based on these details that were not made public, the Metropolitan Police Department decided to establish a joint investigation headquarters to work in collaboration with elite police officers drawn from various prefectures.
