Boss Mao's favorability rating is exactly the same as Gao Yuan's. This is a situation that Yuan Shan Ye has only seen with people who use pseudonyms.
The main ones are Amuro Tooru and Furuya Rei, who are basically synchronized in real time.
Even Conan and Shinichi have a time difference.
Of course, it's possible for different people to have the same favorability rating.
For example, Akemi and Akechi, who have the highest affection for Yoruichi Toyama, have a numerical difference between them that is always within single digits.
However, Yoruichi Toyama didn't bring up the affection level interface to deduce anything, but to verify something.
Something that has more and more clues pointing to it, but I've never thought of it that way before.
This "something" started after Yoruichi Toyama arrived in Fudoyama City.
He went out three times, and each time he encountered an event related to Gao Yuan. Each time he returned, he found that Boss Mao had also gone out at the same time.
When Yoruichi Toyama went to Karuizawa to argue with Takato, she came back to find that he had twisted his shoulder while fishing.
Although Gao Yuan's disguise as Mingmei was not without flaws, he was very familiar with Mingmei's behavior and habits.
More importantly, Gao Yuan's interference in the Moonshadow Island incident provides an explanation for another matter.
Why did Asai Minami, who appeared on the island as Dr. Asai, leave after the letter of commission was sent?
Yoruichi Toyama guessed that his original plan was the same as in the story: to use this identity to kill Kawashima, Kuroiwa, and others discreetly.
If the police's early intervention made him feel threatened, and he went into hiding, that would certainly be plausible.
However, he left earlier than the police arrived on the island to investigate.
How could he have foreseen the police's actions?
In retrospect, it seems that Gao Yuan had already found Cheng Shi back then and persuaded him to use the new plan.
As for Takato... or rather, Mr. Shigeru, he witnessed Yoruichi Toyama receiving the letter of commission and calling Inspector Megure.
Takato Yoichi, he had actually been spying on Toyama Yoruichi all along...
No, that wasn't spying at all; he was openly observing Yoruichi Toyama's every move.
Of course, he also knows Akemi's daily habits and her relationship with Yoruichi Toyama.
It all started by chance.
The chance encounter that led Yoruichi Toyama to walk into the Owl Cafe.
"...No! Kotaro-kun!" Yoruichi Toyama, realizing something, turned her gaze to Taro, who was hiding under the table.
"You knew from the beginning that Gao Yuan was the owner of Owl Cafe, right?"
I...I don't know...
The black cat timidly shrank its neck, and when it realized it couldn't escape, it could only meow and jump onto Yoruichi Toyama's lap, staring at him intently.
[The Kindaichi world, you know, I just took over it myself...]
If I had actively checked the system, I might have been able to confirm his identity at the time, but I can't possibly check every random stranger I come across...
I noticed you seem to know the situation here a bit better than I do, so...
"...Alright then."
Yoruichi Toyama wasn't the type to blame others when something went wrong, so she could only sigh.
This drew a puzzled look from Akemi across the table.
"What's wrong? You seemed distracted just now."
"I, um..." Yoruichi Toyama then realized that she was still holding the soup bowl in her hand. It was rare that she hadn't spilled any soup, but her hand was already sore.
"I want to go to the detective agency... no, the owl café."
He put down his bowl and stood up from the table, but as soon as he straightened his back, a sharp pain shot through his injury.
Mingmei quickly came over and helped him up.
"You can't go out," the young woman replied, sensing his urgency. "What do you need to do? I'll take care of it for you."
Yuanshan Ye opened her mouth, but suddenly realized that she didn't know what to do either.
If Gao Yuan, oh, "Boss Mao," comes back, then he won't leave anything in the store that would arouse suspicion.
More likely, he also realized that Yoruichi Toyama had seen through him.
So this departure marked the disappearance of "Boss Mao".
Shigeru...wait, Shigeru, Achiri...or...?
Yoruichi Toyama has always followed "Boss Mao" and pronounced his surname as "shigeru".
However, the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese character “茂” can be “mo”.
And “亚” is a, “知” is ti, and “里” is li.
The recombination of these four chapters is read as moliati.
Considering the Japanese people's lisp, it should actually be Moriarty.
Professor James Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes's number one enemy.
This guy really knows how to elevate himself.
Yoruichi Toyama was fuming with these thoughts when her phone, which was on the sofa, beeped.
This text message was a bank transfer notification, sent by "Boss Maoya Zhili".
Looking at the date on my phone, it really is time to pay the rent.
The problem is, this person ran away but still sent money over. What does that mean?
Breakup fee?
Yoruichi Toyama held her breath and checked her bank account, and sure enough, she saw a note at the bottom of the transfer record.
"Consider it medical expenses. Good luck, Detective."
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Toyama Yoru threw her phone back onto the sofa.
"Gao Yuan, you bastard... Ouch..."
...
By the time Yoruichi Toyama was finally allowed to go out by Akemi, another week had passed.
