That's really... thanks to them, haha...
Yoruichi Toyama had nothing more to say.
...
Police officers who arrived promptly upon hearing the music used a police speedboat to pick up Asano Minami and Toyama Yoruichi, who still had a small knife stuck in her stomach.
Asagi confessed to the police that he was the mastermind behind the previous series of events and was taken away for questioning.
What troubled Yoruichi Toyama was that, just as Asano Minori had said, the stab hadn't actually caused him any serious damage, to the point that he felt so ashamed that he couldn't even faint.
He was taken to the hospital amidst the surprised and worried gazes of Conan, Amuro Tooru, and the others.
"...It's Takato," Yoruichi Toyama said helplessly to the police officer sent by Inspector Megure to inquire about her injuries. "The puppeteer of hell, Takato Yoichi."
"That wanted criminal?" The officer had obviously heard of him, but couldn't immediately connect it to the current situation, hence his puzzled expression.
How did he end up here?
"I think that's a question for Mr. Narumi..."
Yoruichi Toyama felt like a student checking the answers after an exam, facing a problem she clearly knew the direction of but couldn't solve, and hated her own slowness and incompetence.
Asagi Minoru, the young man who was obsessed with avenging his family but felt incredibly empty after the criminals were brought to justice, could not have designed such a plot on his own.
The director of this script must be well aware of the darkest side of human nature to exploit the already depraved hearts of those people, manipulate them, and incite them to kill each other, ultimately leading to their own destruction.
Looking back now, Takato had already intervened when the police arrived at Tsukikage Island to investigate "Asano Minoru" and "Dr. Asai" happened to leave the island in a hurry.
He roughly learned about the request Yoruichi Toyama had received and found Asano Minoru ahead of time to devise a new plan for her.
The puppeteer's perverse sense of humor led him to crave a close look at the story he had directed, so he disguised himself as Akemi and followed her.
It was he who suggested that everyone split up to investigate, thus drawing Yoruichi Toyama's attention to Kuroiwa.
He believed that Yoruichi Toyama would discover the significance of the book "Death on the Nile" and also find out about Hirata's strange behavior.
But he wasn't without flaws.
The real Akemi would never be unaware of Conan and Amuro Tooru's identities.
But at that time, "she" was overly polite and distant to the two people.
Yoruichi Toyama simply didn't notice.
How could someone be so stupid!
Yoruichi Toyama angrily slammed his fist on the hospital bed, but it only caused a sharp pain in his wound.
"I think the great detective has really lost face this time!" A sarcastic voice drifted in from the ward doorway.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a police officer who had come to watch the commotion.
"Yoruichi-nii, are you alright?"
Because he was in front of the nurses, Conan dutifully spoke in a primary school student's voice.
Under the threatening gazes of the two, Yoruichi Toyama sighed and managed to get the nurse out of the room after much persuasion.
Amuro Tooru and Conan's expressions immediately darkened.
"Yuanshan, what exactly happened?"
“That ‘Akami’ was actually Takato Yoichi in disguise, probably to get revenge for me always ruining his plans.” Toyama Yoruichi naturally knew who the other person was worried about, and answered so succinctly and directly, “Akami should be fine.”
"If you're worried, give her a call."
The real Akemi was of course unaware of the situation, but calling to let everyone know she was safe wouldn't arouse any suspicion.
Amuro Tooru didn't move, his gaze fixed on Toyama Yoruichi's face, giving the latter the illusion that he was the one who had disguised himself as Akemi.
"Is Miss Akemi the only one I'm worried about?"
To Toyama Yoruichi's surprise, he heard a usually composed police officer grit his teeth and say something.
"You rascal, can you be a little more careful next time? Don't make things so dangerous!"
"I don't want to end up with all my friends gone..."
He turned away angrily before he could finish speaking.
