Yoruichi Toyama, who hadn't spoken a single word to the officer in charge from beginning to end, had no choice but to call out.
I felt a little depressed.
Although Inspector Megure is not very capable, he is at least a listener and will at least ask for other people's opinions when faced with such a situation.
But Officer Shiratori seemed very confident.
Hearing the shout, Officer Shiratori turned around and, as if seeing Yoruichi Toyama for the first time, showed an exaggerated expression of surprise.
"Isn't this Mr. Toyama? What brings you here, great detective? Do you have any advice for me?"
"By the way, I was just promoted to inspector recently."
"You can call me Inspector Shiratori."
Yoruichi Toyama was speechless.
The hostility in those words was far too obvious; it was practically a direct accusation that Yoruichi Toyama was meddling in other people's business and disrespecting his position.
Did I offend him somehow?
Noticing the tense atmosphere between the two, Officer Sato, who was in charge of calming them down, quickly stepped in.
"Yes, Mr. Toyama, you don't know, Inspector Shiratori is an elite member of our third department. He passed the national first-class civil service exam right after graduating from university. You could say he has a very bright future!"
The professional group!
Yoruichi Toyama smiled, and her mood calmed down.
We've seen plenty of elite students in the professional group before!
Leaving aside the young master Mingzhi, the guy standing behind you, who appears to be a coffee shop waiter, should at least have the rank of police inspector.
Is it something to be proud of to be promoted to police inspector at nearly 30? ...
Of course, the fact is something to be proud of.
Because of their professional status, Shiratori was already at the same rank as Inspector Megure when he was half his age.
The reason he wasn't transferred to another department to take charge could be that he had just been promoted and needed more experience, or it could be due to Inspector Shiratori's personal hobby.
After all, he had a rather smug look in his eyes when Officer Sato started speaking.
"I see!" Following Officer Sato's words, Yoru Toyama nodded.
"Inspector Shiratori, I don't think this matter is as simple as it seems."
"Just as Mr. Zhang Tian said, he may have been nearly murdered."
"Murder?..."
"ah?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, even Zhang Tian himself gaped, his face filled with disbelief.
I was just saying it offhand, exaggerating the seriousness of the problem. How could you actually call it murder?
Who committed the murder?
Who dares to kill me?
Is that old bridge that useless guy? ...
Just like him, everyone immediately turned their attention to the old bridge, which was already under police control.
As if unable to bear the gaze of so many people, Gu Qiao silently lowered his head.
"Hey, sir..."
"Mr. Toyama, although you are a detective, you are also a special advisor to our First Investigation Division!" Before Yuriko could speak up for Furuhashi, Inspector Shiratori said with a half-smile.
"You must speak with evidence, and you can't just make things up."
"The key to murder is premeditation. Are you saying that this projectionist had planned to kill someone beforehand?"
His questioning suddenly became sharp.
Moreover, because Yoruichi Toyama's identity was revealed, the gazes of those present, mainly Mr. Muramatsu and Ms. Yuriko, became somewhat complicated.
Yuanshan Yeyi calmly turned her head and looked at Mr. Guqiao.
In reality, the person carrying out the murder plan knows best whether it was premeditated.
However, considering that he has a series of follow-up measures, I feel that he may not readily admit it.
Then the only option is to expose him.
Upon discovering that the ancient bridge was unresponsive, Yoruichi Toyama smiled before speaking.
"Inspector Shiratori, you must have some knowledge of criminal psychology, right?"
"You should know the circumstances under which someone would want to kill someone."
"A crime of passion is certainly possible, but that requires a violent conflict between the perpetrator and the victim, doesn't it?"
"If that were the case, Mr. Guqiao should have taken action when he was arguing with Mr. Zhang Tian in the front hall."
“We all witnessed that argument. Mr. Furuhashi didn’t lay a hand on anyone then, but he’s only doing it now. Do you think this is a mutual fight or a crime of passion?”
"Hmm..." Inspector Shiratori was taken aback by the sudden question, but quickly recovered.
"You also mentioned psychology; human psychology is very complex. Although he was angry at the time, most of the people around him were persuaded to stay calm. But the more he thought about it afterward, the angrier he became, and in the end, he couldn't hold back and still came out to take action. That's possible."
"While this behavior is wrong, it's still far from what you call 'murder'!"
As the discussion turned to his area of expertise, Inspector Shiratori grew increasingly confident, seemingly believing he had gained the upper hand.
However, his line of thinking is indeed reasonable.
As Toyama Yoru nodded in agreement, his gaze swept around the room.
Sure enough, his "mom" was sitting leisurely in the corner, holding a coffee cup and watching the commotion.
Isn't this guy afraid that I'll just yell at him first, get the police arrested, and that'll be the end of it?
But the things at hand are more important.
Yoruichi Toyama didn't want Inspector Shiratori to handle the matter as a simple brawl mainly because she wanted to completely dispel Furuhashi's murderous intent.
It should be noted that the simple charge of "disrupting public order" has no impact on him or Zhang Tian.
Once Inspector Shiratori hands them over to the police station, they'll probably be released in no time.
