"What...what did you say?!"
Hajime-chan, who never learns from her mistakes, was naturally unconvinced.
"I think you're just jealous that I get a job!"
"Last time you lectured me in all seriousness, saying I should spend the time I spend playing games helping out at home. Now that I'm going to work, you're jinxing me again!"
Yoruichi Toyama could only shrug helplessly.
The main problem is that it's not easy to say these things.
Every time you're invited by Mr. Itsuki, it turns into a murder case.
Whether it was the time the documentary writer was murdered and you were framed for murder, or the time at the Lucia Pavilion...
Oh, right!
Thinking of the Lucia Mansion, Yoruichi Toyama also recalled that this Kindaichi part-time job incident was probably orchestrated by Takato again.
...
The incident occurred when several university students went to Okinawa for a vacation.
However, upon closer examination, the whole incident probably started several years ago.
A girl whose family business went bankrupt, leaving her both parents dead and burdened with huge debts, attempted suicide by jumping into the sea, but was rescued by a boy who was diving.
With the boy's care, the girl regained hope for life, and the two naturally began dating.
But just as the girl discovered she was already pregnant with her lover's child, devastating news struck.
A boy and his classmates went on a trip to Okinawa and drowned while snorkeling.
The girl suffered a miscarriage due to the shock and was rushed to the hospital by passersby.
...
Hmm... Yoruichi Toyama suddenly remembered seeing Takato's back at the hospital where Conan was staying. Could it be related to this?
If we had been able to search the ward back then, we would probably have seen the female protagonist in the tragedy, who was also the murder puppet in this incident.
Maiko Maiko.
Her lover, Kusanagi Ren, comes from a wealthy family and is therefore favored by many girls, but he is only devoted to her.
The "accident" during the diving was actually orchestrated by a girl who had been rejected by Kusanagi Ren, along with two male classmates who were jealous of him.
Originally, it was just a prank; they put super absorbent resin in Kusanagi Ren's life jacket, hoping to embarrass him.
Unexpectedly, when Kusanagi Ren was drowning, the speedboat driven by the perpetrators suddenly malfunctioned and could not be started. None of the three called for help or made a rescue call, and they just watched helplessly as a life sank to the bottom of the sea.
To be fair, Yoruichi Toyama also felt that the three people with such ignorant and evil intentions deserved to die.
But a girl whose life has already been so tragic should not bear the blame for murder.
If only we had searched the hospital more thoroughly back then.
Before Gao Yuan planted the seeds of evil in her already hopeless heart...
As for now...
Yoichi Toyama glanced at Hajime-chan, who was filled with righteous indignation and seemed determined to get the job, but didn't feel much sympathy for her.
In short, Hajime-chan's part-time job trip is definitely going to be canceled.
Leaving behind the clueless Kindaichi and Mr. Itsuki, Yoruichi Toyama turned and went into the detective agency's cubicle to call Akechi.
"...It's true what they say, the detective just talks, while the police run themselves ragged!"
After listening to his explanation of the "job" situation, Mingzhi said sarcastically.
"Let's not talk about last time. Kenchi and the others were also investigating the Fire Sacrifice Enterprises. What reason do you want me to use this time to investigate the project of the professor from the West East Medical University?"
"This isn't the first time you've encountered this combination of Mr. Itsuki and Mr. Kindaichi, is it?"
Knowing full well that she couldn't explain it, Yoruichi Toyama simply attributed it to superstition.
I remember when Kindaichi was framed for murder, Akechi chased after him on a tour around the Kanto region.
It must have left a deep impression.
Mingzhi pondered for a moment on the other end.
"We can't just leave it like this..."
“I saw Takato at the hospital,” Yoruichi Toyama said quickly.
"What?……"
"The hospital where Conan was hospitalized last time was the Xidong Medical University Affiliated Hospital, right?"
“I saw a figure in the corridor that looked a lot like Gao Yuan.”
"So I suspect that he is trying to contact someone at West East Medical University to carry out his murder plot."
Yoruichi Toyama didn't care whether there was any evidence or not, and just said it with such confidence.
"Would that be enough reason for the police to contact that psychology professor and learn more about the details of his project?"
Mingzhi didn't answer immediately, but instead gave a wry laugh.
“I’m telling you, Yuanshan, I also have a proper job. I don’t spend my days waiting to verify your far-fetched suspicions…”
"Then consider it a favor to me." Yoruichi Toyama completely ignored his complaints and took advantage of the situation.
"If this matter is related to Gao Yuan, it would be very easy to investigate, wouldn't it?"
"Ask the professor for the list of participants in the experiment... On the bright side, at least you won't have to check Mr. Itsuki, Mr. Kindaichi, and Ms. Miyuki, right?"
Well, thank you so much!
Yoruichi Toyama wondered if Akechi had also acquired Taro's ability to convey thoughts. Despite the silence on the other end of the phone, she had overheard this comment.
“Yuanshan,” after a long silence, Mingzhi finally spoke slowly, “you’re in a real hurry this time.”
"Are you really that confident?"
Saying this actually means you intend to help.
Yoruichi Toyama therefore solemnly replied, "Yes."
"On a whim, I did some quick calculations and deduced that Gao Yuan was the mastermind behind this. Moreover, under the leadership of Inspector Mingzhi, the police once again nipped this serial killer's plans in the bud..."
Mingzhi, who was about to say something, suddenly exhaled a cold breath.
