He then went to the kitchen and brewed some black tea.
"Why don't you just let me do this?" Mingmei said with a hint of reproach when she saw him bring out the tea.
Yoruichi Toyama chuckled, but turned his gaze away from her.
"Oh no, sister, you've been rejected."
For some reason, Shiho Miyano was unusually aggressive today, not even sparing her own older sister.
Akemi coughed.
"No...actually, Yoruichi...is also a very good tea maker..."
Yoruichi Toyama thought to himself that if he weren't one of them, he definitely wouldn't have been able to stand by and watch this awkward conversation.
As expected, Amuro Tooru, who had been observing from the sidelines, finally spoke up.
"Alright, Toyama, do you know why I brought Akemi and Shiho here?"
Yoruichi Toyama turned to look at him with some confusion.
What else could it be?
Isn't this just a pretense of making peace?
Worried that he would be turned away, he brought the Mingmei sisters with him to meet him and show that they were safe?
Just as I was thinking this, there was a sudden "thump".
As Amuro Tooru calmly withdrew his hand, Toyama Yoruichi covered her forehead and glared angrily.
One by one, they've all learned to play it!
"No!" Amuro Tooru said with a chuckle.
"Just by looking at your face, I can tell you're wrong."
"I'm asking you, did you get sick and develop early-onset dementia?"
"You're older than me!" Yoruichi Toyama complained angrily, rubbing her forehead, then suddenly paused.
How does a dog spy know he's sick?
Is it Okaze or Akechi?
"Stop guessing!" Amuro Tooru looked at him with feigned disdain. "There's a long line of people coming to visit you while you're sick, even the son of the Superintendent General of Police is there. How could I not know?"
This reminder made Yoruichi Toyama realize that she was now a "celebrity".
Or rather, a famous detective.
He single-handedly captured Phantom Thief Kid at a Suzuki Foundation anniversary party, where many wealthy people and political figures were present.
Even because he was trapped in the Third Investigation Division, some cabinet members put pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department.
He became famous overnight.
Hmm, I don't know about Akemi and the others...
Just as he was about to steal a glance at the girl next to him, a hand came over and placed on his knee.
“I’ve heard about the Phantom Thief Kid incident,” Akemi said gently. “It’s a shame I couldn’t help you this time.”
"N-nothing...actually..." Toyama Yoru answered incoherently, his mind wandering elsewhere.
this time?
Could it be... there will be a "next time"?
As if guessing his thoughts, Akemi continued with a smile, "So, Detective Toyama, when do you plan to resume your work?"
"After this incident, the detective agency must be receiving a steady stream of cases, right?"
"Can you manage without an assistant?"
"I'm ready to open for business anytime!"
“What…” Yoruichi Toyama was completely stunned.
After a long while, he stiffly turned his head back to Amuro Tooru's direction.
Amuro Toru spread his hands.
"That's why I said you must be mistaken."
"While they are important witnesses, the police should make proper arrangements for them, giving them new identities so they can live discreetly."
"The problem is that quite a few people already know that 'Miss Lin Minmei' is a member of the Black Cat Detective Agency."
"It would be strange if she suddenly disappeared again."
"Moreover, Fudoyama City is relatively remote, and the breweries, especially Gin, haven't noticed it yet."
“It would be safer for Shiho to live here.”
Upon hearing the name "Gin," even the usually aloof Shiho Miyano couldn't help but flinch.
Yoruichi Toyama nodded thoughtfully.
"So, 'Miss Lin Mingmei and her sister' are the new identities the police have assigned to them?"
Upon closer examination, it's not entirely unfeasible.
However, Gin's obsession with "Sherry"...
“Yes,” Amuro Tooru looked at Shiho Miyano, who looked only 7 years old, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips, “Miss Lynn Minmay, and her cousin—'Ai Haibara'.”
"As for Shiho Miyano, or 'Sherry,' they've already been marked as 'dead' at the brewery..."
...
After Amuro Tooru recounted how he eliminated the traitor under the guise of "Bourbon," Yoruichi Toyama felt more at ease.
After all, it was Qin Ye who personally shot "Shirley," and someone as confident as him shouldn't have any more doubts.
So they won't suddenly feel like looking up any more information about a younger version of "Sherry".
"However," there was only one question that Yoruichi Toyama had to ask, "how do you know that Gin won't get a headshot?"
Even the two people who were acting together are members of the "zero" police force, and they should already possess professional qualities and a spirit of sacrifice.
Officer Furuya doesn't seem like the type to send people on adventures.
"I knew your saintly sentiments were acting up again," Amuro Tooru said, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Do you really have to be like this? Do you have to worry about everyone's life?"
Yoruichi Toyama shrugged and did not answer.
I also know that it wasn't actually a accusation, but rather a sense of helplessness in the face of a task that inevitably makes people cruel.
Fortunately, Amuro Tooru immediately explained, "Gin has always valued Sherry highly and must see her die with his own eyes."
"So whether it's true or not, he would definitely have kept that person's complete appearance."
Yoruichi Toyama quite agreed with this explanation.
