Yoruichi Toyama did not expect that Ogino would bring a knife.
After all, he was only going to abduct a child around 5 years old. If he drove the car into the countryside and dumped the child in a river or in the mountains, the child would have no chance of survival.
Why bother doing it yourself?
Unless... he has some deep-seated grudge against the child's father, the doctor, Mr. Ogawa.
"Hey, Mr. Ogino, you have children too, right?"
Thinking this, Yoruichi Toyama cautiously took two steps forward and tried to speak in a calm tone.
"Just because you lost your own child, does that mean you have to kill someone else's child?"
Ogino trembled violently, and the knife in his hand drew a semi-circle in front of him.
The onlookers, who had already run far away, let out another scream.
"How...how did you know?" Ogino glared fiercely at Yoruichi Toyama. "Who exactly are you?"
Yoruichi Toyama shrugged and casually put the cat she was holding down on the ground.
Taro is not only a chatterbox, but also a coward. He was so scared that he didn't say a word for a long time.
Let him stay with Yuta, who is still unaware of the situation.
"As for me, I'm a good citizen who stands up for what's right."
Yuanshan Yezhi answered the second question.
...I can't exactly tell you that I was just guessing, can I?
It is well known that doctors are most likely to make enemies of their patients and their families.
That Mr. Ogawa is also a pediatrician.
It's likely that Ogino misdiagnosed or performed the wrong surgery on Mr. Ogino's child, which caused Ogino to harbor resentment and seek revenge.
Yoruichi Toyama stared at the knife in his hand and took another step forward.
"You, you stay away... I'm going to..."
Ogino swung her sword again, the gust of wind from the blade grazing Yoruichi Toyama's cheek, even causing a slight sting.
However, he only managed to say half a sentence before a "smack" was heard.
A streak of cold light shot into the sky, then fell back to the ground after a short while.
Ogino belatedly clutched her wrist and cried out, her face covered in sweat, her hat almost soaked through.
"Alright," Yoruichi Toyama retracted her kicking leg and loosened her joints. "I was taking it easy this time, so it shouldn't be broken."
As he spoke, he kicked the knife even further away.
I finally felt relieved.
With his fighting prowess, even without the Taro boost, he would be more than capable of dealing with a middle-aged office worker like this.
The only problem was that there were too many onlookers, mostly women and children, and there were also children from the kindergarten who hadn't come out yet.
This person dared to carry a knife in a place like this; he deserves to die.
While glancing at him, Yoruichi Toyama called out to the person peeking out from the kindergarten gate, "Could you please call the police?"
Upon hearing the words "call the police," Ogino, who had been howling in pain, immediately quieted down and collapsed to the ground, looking limp.
Meanwhile, the onlookers, who had already moved away to cover an entire intersection, burst into applause.
...
The police arrived quickly, and thankfully, it wasn't Inspector Megure's familiar face anymore.
After clarifying the situation, the police officers handcuffed Ogino and put her in the car, while the leader came over to greet Yoruichi Toyama.
“We are from the Third Division of the First Investigation Section of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. I am Inspector Miwako Sato.”
The cool and capable policewoman, a familiar face to Conan viewers, introduced herself to Yoruichi Toyama in this way.
"Ah, is this Mr. Toyama? Inspector Megure has mentioned him many times!"
"Thanks to your help this time, a major incident was averted."
After learning the basic situation from the onlookers, Officer Sato expressed his sincere gratitude.
Then, as a matter of routine, they asked Yoruichi Toyama to come back and give a statement.
Yoruichi Toyama, who had tucked the cat back under her arm, shook her head and asked Yuuta beside her, "Which one of you is Yuuta's teacher?"
At Yuta's pointing finger, a young female teacher timidly raised her hand in response.
"I...I'm...I'm sorry..."
It was obvious that the female teacher knew the extent of the trouble her negligence had caused, hence her trembling as she spoke.
"I just took over Yuta's class, and I don't know many of the parents yet..."
“Then we can’t let anyone take the child away so easily.” To her surprise, it wasn’t Yoruichi Toyama who spoke, but the rather straightforward Officer Sato.
"Yes, yes..." the female teacher bowed repeatedly, "I will definitely pay attention in the future!"
Yoruichi Toyama sighed helplessly.
It seems that the unreliable ones this time aren't the police.
It just goes to show that everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
If something really goes wrong, the spirit of craftsmanship is of no use at all.
However, considering that Officer Sato has already disciplined the teacher...
"Have you called Yuta's father to inform him?"
Yoruichi Toyama changed the subject.
The female teacher nodded vigorously.
"Yes, Mr. Ogawa said he'll be here soon."
Upon hearing this news, Officer Sato discussed it with Yoruichi Toyama and decided to wait a while longer.
So that the anxious father could see that his son was safe and sound as soon as possible.
A dozen minutes later, not only did the middle-aged man who kept calling out "Yuta" jump out of the speeding taxi, but several other people followed behind him, all of whom were old friends of Yoruichi Toyama.
"Mr. Ogawa, is this your son Yuta? Thank goodness he's alright!" That was Kogoro Mouri's loud voice.
"Yes, Mr. Ogawa, you don't have to worry anymore." This was Xiaolan's gentle reassurance.
The three-headed kid, wearing the same blue suit he never wore and barely taller than Yuuta, blinked his glasses and strolled over to Yoruichi Toyama, muttering something under his breath:
