Gao Yuan's figure drifted to the side like a ghost, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the dark corner by the wall.
Yoruichi Toyama was holding only a plastic mannequin hand with a forearm attached.
"Oh dear, oh dear!" That strange voice returned, but Yoruichi Toyama rushed to the wall in a few steps, only to find no one there.
"You're too fierce! My arm is about to dislocate..."
The elusive sound seemed to come from somewhere in mid-air, but in the blink of an eye it was already outside the wall.
"Well then, see you next time. Good luck, detective!..."
Yoruichi Toyama glared angrily at the air in front of her for a long time before finally dropping the almost lifelike arm model.
How could we forget that magic is the most unscientific element in the Kindaichi world...?
...
Although Takato claimed that he had lost the duel, Yoruichi Toyama was not much happier than him.
The Karuizawa Grape House incident concluded with the arrest of the three siblings of the Himashi family and Kentaro Izawa.
The black magic master who called himself the Black Melon Ghost Gate later admitted that he was hired by Gao Yuan to be a stand-in, but he was completely unaware of Gao Yuan's conspiracy.
As for the secretary, Kaiki, he rushed back home that day because of a letter, only to find out that it was a prank by someone spreading false information.
This was clearly to facilitate the real Gao Yuan's disguise and impersonation.
Thinking about these details that differed from the original work, all of which were tricks that Takato had done to guard against him, Toyama Yoruichi didn't know whether to be angry or honored.
After all, even Hajime-chan has never received this kind of treatment.
But Yoruichi Toyama didn't want to confront this "puppet master of hell" for a long time.
It's already hard enough to just pursue the target characters. Can you guys who aren't the target characters, whether you're police officers or murderers, just stay put and don't get in the way?
Will it even help me increase your favorability with me? Huh? ...
Thinking this to herself, when Yoruichi Toyama returned to the Owl Cafe, she found that Akemi Miyano was the only person there.
Boss Mao has gone out to do something again, I don't know.
Taro and Pengzhi were squatting side by side on the counter, creating a peaceful scene.
Upon seeing him enter, both the cat and the bird extended a paw simultaneously, as if to greet him.
Where is Mr. Mao?
Just as Yoruichi Toyama asked the question, she heard the door open. Boss Mao walked in, carrying a bucket in one hand and half a fishing rod in the other, looking dejected.
"Yo, Toyama-kun..."
His greetings were also weak and listless, indicating that his performance on this trip was not good.
Yoruichi Toyama didn't expose his shortcomings. She went over to help him carry the bucket, only to find that it was clearly full of fish, and the water was almost completely obscured.
"Huh? Mr. Mao, what's wrong?"
"Don't even mention it!" Boss Mao seemed to be about to put down his fishing rod, but as soon as he moved his hand, he grimaced and gasped.
"I had caught a big one..."
"Originally?" means he ran away.
Yuanshan Ye took the fishing rod and examined the broken end.
"How big must that fish be...?"
"Just like you..." Boss Mao gestured with his hand, then gasped, slowly rubbing his shoulder. "No, just as long as your arm, your whole arm..."
"I held out with him for ages, but in the end he got away. This isn't..."
Boss Mao pointed at the fishing rod with his chin pursed, then rubbed his shoulder.
"...and it even twisted my shoulder..."
"Seriously, I'm not done with him yet..."
When Toyama Yoru saw him gritting his teeth and struggling with a fish, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"What a coincidence, it's the same for me this time too..."
Miyano Akemi and Boss Shigeru, who came over to offer their help, exchanged a glance.
"You mean, that 'puppet master from hell'..."
Yoruichi Toyama shrugged.
"Yes, he got away again."
After listening to Yotsuichi Toyama's brief account of his trip to Karuizawa, Mr. Shigeru and Akemi Miyano couldn't help but offer him a few words of comfort.
Although Gao Yuan was not caught, the incident was resolved relatively perfectly.
However, the Metropolitan Police Department will have to pay the commission fee.
"You helped them solve a 10-year-old cold case, so it's only right that they pay for it!" Boss Mao said with a grin.
It's obvious that they're building their happiness on the suffering of others.
Yoruichi Toyama's original intention was to tell you something that made me unhappy in order to cheer you up, so she smiled and carried the bucket of fish to the kitchen.
"Mr. Mao, your arm is not very strong, let me help you prepare these fish, and I'll also cook you something nice to eat."
"Huh? What's delicious?" Boss Mao blinked his small eyes and smiled slyly, "Is it 'Stargazing,' the British cuisine?"
Yoruichi Toyama immediately gave a look of disgust.
"How could that be! I'm not from the culinary disaster world."
"Just wait, I'll prepare a whole fish feast for you!"
...
However, after pouring the fish from the bucket into the kitchen sink, Yoruichi Toyama began to examine the fish in the sink.
"I'm talking about his second father... cough!"
"No... I mean, Mr. Mao!"
Why are all your fish the same size?
"Was this caught by fishing? Or was it bought?"
After a long while, Boss Mao's muffled voice finally came through.
"That's... the one I caught that got away..."
"We anglers, even if we go to the market to buy fish, we will never come back with an empty bucket!"
...
The whole fish feast was still prepared in the end.
Not wanting to see Yoruichi Toyama working alone, Akemi Miyano, despite having little cooking experience, volunteered to help.
