When Yoruichi Toyama reached the end of the corridor, she saw Akechi standing there.
The built-in ambient light halo enhanced the brightness of the corridor lights by a whole new level.
Moreover, Mingzhi was clearly waiting for him, and as soon as he saw him, he asked, "Are you alright?"
"What could be wrong?" Despite being shown concern for no apparent reason, Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that my relationship with Young Master Ming is becoming more and more like a normal colleague relationship.
Having someone who wears a white shirt as a colleague would be a huge boost to your reputation...
Yoruichi Toyama thought to herself and casually patted Akechi on the shoulder.
"This is the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Division, not the Special Higher Police Section of the Security Bureau. Are you afraid they'll put me in the electric chair?"
Mingzhi frowned noticeably, as if to remind him "not to talk nonsense," but in the end he asked a different question.
"You didn't agree to that guy's... conditions, did you?"
"What conditions?" Yoruichi Toyama repeated casually, knowing who "that guy" was referring to. "Inspector Furuya was busy entertaining Akemi, so Kazami and I chatted for a bit, and when we ran out of things to say, he called me out."
Mingzhi let out a soft sigh: "That's good."
This repeated worry made Yoruichi Toyama a little concerned, and then she thought of something.
"Are you afraid he'll make me an assistant to the police?"
An informant is essentially an informant developed outside the police system. They not only provide intelligence to the police, but may also engage in illegal activities when necessary.
Of course, generally speaking, with a police officer protecting you, you won't get into too much trouble, but it's also possible that they'll use you and then kick you aside.
After all, the Japanese police themselves aren't exactly saints.
Wise's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"You even know about this kind of thing?"
Yoruichi thought to himself, "I can't very well tell you that I've seen Zero's Executioner."
Without offering any explanation, he smiled and pulled Mingzhi along as they walked out.
"I'd be crazy to give up being a special advisor to your First Investigation Division and become an assistant to a dog spy, wouldn't you say?"
"Sigh, speaking of which, when are you going to settle my payment for the trip to Golden Island last time?"
"And do you pay this consultant position?"
"I'm telling you, I'm really exhausted lately, I need to take a good vacation... Mr. Mao said the Shonan coast in Kamakura is really beautiful! When are you on vacation, let's go fishing together..."
Amidst his suffocating rambling, Taro's muffled complaints could be heard.
I think you just want to give up...
"Hey, you're right!" Yoruichi Toyama retorted in her mind. "I'm telling you, even if the heavens were to fall, I wouldn't stand for it this time."
"...At least until 'Amuro Tooru' is released, I'm determined to slack off!"
...
Without Akemi Miyano by her side, Yoruichi Toyama no longer needed to hide her identity and live a secluded life.
So I simply went back to live in a high-rise apartment in Beika City.
Compared to the tranquility of Fudoyama City, Beika City, which is closer to the heart of Tokyo, is much more bustling and lively.
However, for Yoruichi Toyama, who planned to live a peaceful life for a while, neither option made a difference.
The apartment room remains in the same state as when Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi Miyano changed clothes and left.
Thinking back to that time she disguised herself, Yoruichi Toyama remembered someone.
His upstairs neighbor, Yoko Okino, played a significant role in that life-or-death escape.
Although it has been a long time, I should still express my gratitude.
Yoruichi Toyama knocked on the door of Yoko Okino's apartment.
"Ah, Mr. Toyama, you're back!"
The ever-energetic female celebrity, with a delighted smile on her face, pulled him into the room.
"So, is there no problem protecting Miss Akemi?"
As soon as the door closed, Yoko began asking questions urgently. Although her tone was mysterious, her voice was anything but quiet.
"And have all the other criminals been caught too?"
Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but scratch her head.
Admittedly, I came here to finish up this unresolved issue, but it seems that Ms. Yoko was not actually harassed by the police or public security officers.
Given Gu Ling's abilities, he shouldn't have failed to find her.
But on second thought, I realized that this approach was actually better.
For Yoko Okino, the detectives she knew, Yoruichi Toyama and the even more famous Kogoro Mouri, were all people who encountered all sorts of strange and unusual incidents.
And the entertainment industry she herself is in is naturally full of bizarre and wonderful things.
For her, the so-called "transnational criminals" or "witness protection" were nothing more than stories of morbid curiosity.
If the police were to come to investigate, they would either warn her to keep quiet or simply prevent her from speaking, which would inevitably have a greater impact.
On the contrary, leaving it like this will prevent it from attracting other people's attention.
After all, who would believe a female celebrity's talk of "state secrets"?
Having figured this out, Yoruichi Toyama put on a relaxed expression, indicating that the matter had been resolved smoothly.
"The rest can be left to the police." He concluded solemnly, "I still want to thank Ms. Yoko for her continued assistance."
"Mr. Toyama, you're too kind!"
Yoko Okino answered enthusiastically.
"You've helped me so much, I've been thinking about how to repay you."
Faced with the repeatedly humble Yoruichi Toyama, the female celebrity personally busied herself with entertaining her. Just as she settled down on the sofa and started drinking coffee, her eyes suddenly lit up again.
