Chapter 46 But I haven't even started pretending yet.



Saying something like that completely breaks off all relations.

As a politician, well, not a very powerful one, Mr. Tsujimura is quite concerned about his future.

After all, it took so many years of hard work to climb up here. I don't know how many bad things I did, how many people I flattered, or how many times I groveled.

Framed Kenji Yamashiro may only be the beginning, and it is far from the only or the end.

How could he possibly let such a trivial dark history ruin him now!

I'm only in my fifties, and I haven't even become Prime Minister yet! ...

Hattori Heiji, unaware of Mr. Tsujimura's ambitions, shrugged.

"What consequences? Although I don't have much influence in Tokyo, I do know almost everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department."

Mr. Tsujimura's sharp expression suddenly stiffened.

With his current power, he certainly can't directly confront the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief.

After all, a high-ranking police officer who can sit in this position can only know more politicians than he does.

So he was genuinely wary of this dark-faced boy who was still a minor.

but……

You're a son of an official, what are you doing getting involved with those guys who have no connections?

Just now, Kogoro Mouri took the lead in speaking up for Yoruichi Toyama, and now Heiji Hattori is casually supporting him, leaving Mr. Tsujimura in a dilemma.

Retreating means giving up a political career that you've cultivated over many years, and you might even be silenced by your own backers, ending up in a situation even more tragic than Kenji Yamashiro.

Upon entering, he found not only a young detective, but also the son of a high-ranking police officer and a nationally renowned detective...

By the way, I heard that this great detective's wife is also a famous lawyer who became famous even earlier than him and has never lost a case since her debut.

...This is really hard to move!

Mr. Tsujimura, now like a rat trapped in a bellows, decides to vent all his frustration and anger on Yoruichi Toyama, the one who caused all this trouble.

His expression shifted several times before he finally found one that he thought was appropriate, and he said calmly, "Mr. Toyama, is that right?"

"Where is your detective agency located?"

“Tokyo, Fudoyama City,” Yoruichi Toyama replied just as calmly, “4-19-2 Matsunami.”

"If Mr. Tsujimura needs anything in the future, our detective agency will be happy to serve you."

“Very well,” Mr. Tsujimura replied with a cold laugh, “I will definitely pay him a visit.”

"Then I'm sorry I can't entertain you all today..."

Upon hearing the order to leave, both Kogoro Mouri and Heiji Hattori breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Mr. Tsujimura didn't immediately order his bodyguards to kill that guy Toyama.

As for retaliation, that's practically a certainty.

Two people who had never crossed paths before and had only just met today unexpectedly began to think about how to help that arrogant guy when some unknown force intervened in the future.

Or, how about inviting him to stay in Osaka for a while? If they need to arrest someone, it will be the Osaka Prefectural Police. Since we're on the same side, we can always make things easier for him and won't make things too difficult for him.

Hattori Heiji thought so.

If he gets falsely accused and prosecuted, he should shamelessly beg his wife to intervene so that he can at least get a lighter sentence.

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head in thought.

Neither of the two people, lost in thought, moved, and Yoruichi Toyama, for some reason, also remained still.

They did not say goodbye, and Mrs. Tsujimura, Mr. Tsujimura, and Takayoshi and Sachiko did not understand their intentions, so they did not dare to remind them.

Seeing that they wouldn't leave, Mr. Tsujimura felt a surge of frustration.

What's going on here? Didn't they already issue a challenge?

Are you planning to stay for dinner?

"Uh..." Yoruichi Toyama suddenly scratched her head, looking a little hesitant.

"I'm waiting for someone..."

"What!" Mr. Tsujimura's emotions, which had just begun to calm down, were suddenly stirred up again.

"Did you already tell others that you were coming here?"

While questioning her, he glared fiercely at the somewhat dazed Mrs. Tsujimura.

This must have happened when she went to see these detectives.

This woman! ...

"No, not at all," Yoruichi Toyama replied quickly, not as if making a defense, but as if explaining the situation to someone who was curious.

"However... well, please wait a moment..."

"Ah, right!" Ran, who had been lost in thought, suddenly exclaimed, "Ke..."

At the same time as her voice, there was a knock on the door from the outside.

"Sir, an ambulance has arrived..."

Everyone was completely confused, so Mr. Tsujimura had no choice but to signal Takayoshi to open the door and let in the flustered and bewildered servants.

"Why did the ambulance come to our house?"

"It's Conan! Conan still has a fever!" Ran exclaimed, finally realizing what she had overlooked. "Mr. Toyama, was it you who called the ambulance?"

"Could it be that Conan..."

The thought that the child she was so close to might be in danger immediately brought tears to Xiao Lan's eyes.

Yoruichi Toyama suppressed her embarrassment as much as possible and advised, "Now that the ambulance has arrived, there must be a way."

It should be said that, because he was prepared in advance, he was not afraid of threats from people like Mr. Tsujimura.

The only worry is that Conan's identity will be exposed.

So he told Shinichi Kudo to contact Tooru Amuro as soon as possible and come up with a solution.

Unexpectedly, Amuro Tooru didn't come in person, but instead sent an ambulance.

That makes sense. He's an elite executive at the distillery, so how could he just show up in a place like this?
