"W-What! He's Gao Yuan?!"
Inspector Kenmochi and Kindaichi, who had dealt with that puppeteer countless times, were both taken aback.
Other police officers immediately surrounded him, completely blocking his way.
Despite this situation, the "master" remained remarkably calm.
What a pretentious act...
Yoruichi Toyama chuckled and tilted her head, then made another gesture.
"Oh, so you're taking off your mask?"
The term "master" was used casually and politely.
"However, sir, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
"I'm not the Takato Haruichi you're talking about!"
Without waiting for anyone to urge him, he readily removed the mask that covered half of his face.
Beneath the mask was a face with European features, its blue eyes and blond hair complementing each other perfectly.
He really wasn't Gao Yuan!
"You... let me touch your face! If it's a disguise mask, I'll tear it off!"
Knowing his old rival's cunning, Kindaichi showed no mercy and attacked directly.
Yoruichi Toyama stood still, quickly trying to recall where she had made a mistake.
Knowing that Gao Yuan had already found a substitute for him in this incident, Toyama Yoruichi's gaze never left him from the moment the "master" entered the room.
Moreover, the "master" has indeed never disappeared from the public eye.
The mask was never removed. Although there were times when he turned around and walked around the room, that was not enough to transform one person into another.
He's not Sun Wukong!
Yes, he won't change...
So, from the very beginning...
Yoruichi Toyama suddenly looked up and scanned everyone present.
The three members of the Hōji family: Kentaro, Kindaichi, Miyuki, and Master Kuroko...
“No!” he blurted out suddenly.
Where is the secretary?
...
Because there were still several suspects to guard, in the end, only Inspector Kenmochi, Kindaichi, and Yoruichi Toyama chased after them out of the villa.
However, all they could see was the dust kicked up by the speeding taxi.
"Damn it!" Inspector Kenmochi cursed loudly, "Where did this taxi come from?!"
Yoruichi Toyama and Kindaichi exchanged a glance, both thinking of the car the "master" had arrived in when he came to the villa.
Surprisingly... they were prepared all along...
This time, we really underestimated the puppeteer's cunning...
"No, Uncle, let's go back quickly!" Kindaichi, who had been angry for a while, suddenly realized, "Kentaro, and Takato's Stand..."
Before he could finish speaking, he and Jianchi rushed into the villa again.
The puppeteers of hell do indeed have a cruel hobby: disposing of useless puppets after the "performance" is over.
But will it be the same this time? ...
With her own unexplained doubts and the frustration of being defeated by that puppeteer for the first time, Yoruichi Toyama turned and walked towards the villa's gate.
But at that moment, in the dim light coming from inside the door, I caught a glimpse of a dark red color at the corner of my eye.
Only upon closer inspection did I see a red rose hanging among the low bushes by the roadside.
This is practically indistinguishable from Takato Yoichi's autograph.
Are you flirting with me?
I have such a short temper! ...
Without giving it any further thought, Yoruichi Toyama stepped onto the path beside the bushes.
This was probably the first time since I transmigrated that I wasn't thinking about anything from the perspective of a police officer. I was just acting on impulse, wanting to find that guy and have a good debate with him.
In the dark thicket of trees at night, only a faint light guided a direction forward.
A wooden cabin, like a hunter's lodge, had dim light shining through its half-open door.
Of course, this couldn't possibly be a hunter's lodge.
Karuizawa's villa area is certainly captivating with its close-to-nature scenery, but it is by no means a truly desolate wilderness.
So this little cabin is just another gimmick built by wealthy people who love the outdoors.
Even the rooms are lit with electric lights instead of candles.
Yoruichi Toyama chuckled and pushed open the door.
"Oh dear!" a calm voice rang out in the room, "So direct?"
"Aren't you afraid I've set some kind of trap here?"
It was indeed on Golden Island; the voice coming from the radio was exactly the same, even the sarcastic tone.
"They called me here specifically, surely they don't intend to kill me."
Yoruichi Toyama stepped inside as she spoke.
"That's true." The person standing inside smiled and stepped forward, placing his hand on his chest and bowing politely.
"This is probably the first time we've officially met face-to-face."
"Mr. Toyama, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I am Takato Yoichi."
...
Takato Yoichi is actually a very young person, a fact that Toyama Yoruichi only remembered after seeing him.
Perhaps because his past deeds were so dark and shocking, most people would imagine him as a paranoid demon.
He was actually a year younger than Yoruichi Toyama.
They are slightly taller.
Slender, but not weak.
Yoruichi Toyama, who has already been given a power-up by Taro, clearly demonstrates his expertise in fighting.
And this guy is also a magician.
If he really can't beat them, he'll definitely run away.
Thinking about all this, Yoruichi Toyama narrowed his eyes and scanned the entire room.
Gao Yuan clearly interpreted this as a warning, and thus gave a sly smile.
