He couldn't help but steal a glance at Yoruichi Toyama, the least popular among them, before continuing:
"A car has arrived, saying it's to pick up...this Mr. Toyama..."
Um?
Everyone present immediately perked up their ears.
Could it be that Yuanshan has actually found some powerful backer?
Could it be...?
Uncle Kogoro suddenly had a thought and realized something was wrong.
Could it be Ms. Yoko Okino?
That brat Toyama, doesn't he know that Ms. Yoko is a public figure?
How could I cause her so much trouble!
Heiji Hattori, on the other hand, looked purely curious.
Seeing the gossipy expressions on the faces of these people, even Mr. Tsujimura could hardly maintain his aloof demeanor. He coughed and asked, "Who are you?"
Yoruichi thought to himself, "At least that dog spy knows what's good for him, knowing to call Kazami to support him."
Even a diplomat would probably be somewhat wary of someone with ties to the police.
"Yes...yes..." the maid said with great effort, "It's Mr. Maeda."
Maeda? Who's that?
The people standing in the living room, including Yoruichi Toyama, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Finally, Mr. Tsujimura asked uncertainly, "Which... Mr. Maeda?..."

Oh, cabinet minister...
Cabinet minister? ...
Among the group of people who stood there dumbfounded, only Mr. Tsujimura was unsteady on his feet. He swayed a couple of times before being supported by a servant.
This is...
That's going too far!
It's just an old political scandal, why would they involve a cabinet minister?
Is it fun to use an atomic bomb to kill a rat?
Mr. Tsujimura really wanted to grab the young detective by the collar and give him a good interrogation.
However, they dared not.
Yes, now... I wouldn't dare...
Who exactly is this person?
Could he be Mr. Kijima's junior or something? ...
Even more eager to know the answer than he was, Yoruichi Toyama herself was the one who wanted to know it.
So without even saying goodbye again, he took the cat and walked out the door.
A long, black luxury car was indeed parked in the driveway in front of the gate, looking like a behemoth.
It practically took over the entire lane, acting like it owned the place.
However, the people standing outside the car bowed respectfully upon seeing Yoruichi Toyama and opened the rear door.
Yoruichi coughed once, got into the car and sat down.
The moment the car door closed, I heard a chuckle coming from the back seat.
“Just as you said, Mr. Akechi,” a deep, resonant voice said, “Mr. Toyama’s courage is truly extraordinary.”
