Chapter 18 The commission fee is reimbursable!



Akemi Miyano certainly didn't call herself Yoruichi Toyama because she couldn't find tea leaves.

Yoruichi Toyama never drinks tea; all the black tea in this house is bought by her.

Upon entering the kitchen, one could immediately see that a steaming cup of black tea had been brewed, and Akemi Miyano was carefully rinsing the teacups.

Using the sound of the running water from the tap, she lowered her voice and said, "That Mr. Mingzhi, are you a policeman?"

"You've seen him before?" Yoruichi Toyama immediately realized, "He was just here?"

I initially thought that Akechi was just trying to trick me, but now it seems that he might have been turned away by Akemi Miyano.

Sure enough, Akemi Miyano nodded and said, "I didn't dare to open the door because he looked unfamiliar, so I pretended that I wasn't home."

She paused for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Just now...did I let something slip? Did I cause you trouble?"

"It's alright, don't worry." Yoruichi Toyama, on the contrary, seemed relieved and waved her hand. "He's just a policeman, isn't he?"

If the police in Tokyo—no, I should say the police in Japan—were truly effective, the brewery wouldn't have grown to its current size.

Even if Mingzhi is considered an oddball in this group, and does some decent work compared to others, it doesn't change the fact that the entire police system is incompetent.

As long as he couldn't be sure that this person was completely reliable and had a certain amount of influence, Yoruichi Toyama was determined not to hand over Akemi Miyano to him under any circumstances.

When the two men came out with black tea and teaware, they saw Mingzhi and Taro, one person and one cat, seemingly having a lively conversation.

"...Oh, I see!"

"Meow, meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow!"

"Okay, I will definitely pass it on."

Akechi nodded seriously to the cat, then said to Yoruichi Toyama, "Kotaro-kun told me that he prefers the cat food you bought the time before last, and the flavor of the one we switched to recently isn't very good."

You fucking...

Yoruichi Toyama's mood, which had just calmed down a little, was immediately stirred up again, and she wanted nothing more than to beat up this pretentious guy on the spot.

No wonder Kindaichi always looks at you with such a hostile attitude!

Kotaro told you? Why didn't Kotaro just tell me directly? ...

[Ahem... Um, host...]

Taro suddenly glanced at him furtively, probably having overheard his inner thoughts.

This cat food is really... not very tasty...

Who the hell are you on? ...

Yoichi Toyama was so angry that she couldn't do anything but scold the cat in front of him, so she could only endure it and plop down on the sofa.

"Therefore, wise and vigilant, just say what you have to say."

"If you didn't suspect me of being involved in some case, you probably wouldn't have made a special trip to Fudoyama City, would you?"

Although she had planned to come clean, Yoruichi Toyama was still cautious and spoke vaguely.

If Akechi really has some ideas, he will probably continue talking about this topic.

However, this pretentious elite from Dongda University simply smiled easily.

"No! I came here to ask Kindaichi about some things, but I just happened to overhear something outside the coffee shop."

"What Mr. Toyama said to Kindaichi was quite touching."

"I suddenly wondered, if I were to invite Mr. Toyama to explore that Golden Island together, would you agree?"

As she said this, she turned her head and looked intently at Yoruichi Toyama.

Yoruichi Toyama was momentarily stunned.

Golden Island... Ah! ...

I never expected that the first case I would encounter in the Kindaichi World would be this.

But he did remember the relevant plot, which is why he dissuaded Kindaichi from rashly going to the island to "hunt for treasure".

According to Yoruichi Toyama's preconceived notion, Kindaichi, like Conan, is a Grim Reaper whose presence brings death wherever he goes.

But now that I think about it carefully, this case really wasn't Kindaichi's fault.

A girl from a cold and unloving family had already lost hope in life after her single mother passed away.

Fortunately, the school's dean of students moved her with patience and love and took on the responsibility of guardianship.

The girl is striving for a bright future.

However, an earthquake took the life of the director, who was like a loving father to him.

What's more, the girl found a video on the director's phone that he had recorded before his death: while the director was trapped under the earthquake rubble, a group of school graduates were busy searching for unclaimed property in the school building, but they did nothing to help the director who was dying.

The girl believes they are the culprits who killed the director, and therefore she is determined to take revenge.

This trip to Golden Island was actually a deadly journey for the girl against those swarming graduates.

Kindaichi, on the other hand, was merely an audience member invited by "someone" to witness this murder scene.

The two island access tickets that Miyuki mentioned, which were transferred by her senior, were actually invitations cleverly arranged by "someone".

Similarly, there is wisdom...

Yoruichi Toyama glanced at Akechi and asked in return, "So, Inspector Akechi, are you also interested in that gold and want to visit it?"

“Of course not.” Mingzhi’s smile was gentle, but his tone was crisp and clear, and his gaze behind his glasses was sharp.

"This morning, I received a registered letter, but the sender's signature was very strange."

He didn't hold back at all, and casually pulled the envelope out of his suit's inner pocket and handed it to Yoruichi Toyama.

Sure enough, the envelope was signed "Mitsuzune Kōfu".

One of the aliases used by "someone" in committing the crime is also a common trick involving the arrangement and combination of syllables.
