Chapter 87 The Story of the Past



Yoruichi Toyama has no choice but to let things take their course now.

Every time he complained to Taro, he said he wanted to give up. Although he was well-off in this world and could participate in the plot when he had nothing to do, he was living a very comfortable life.

But for him, family, friends, and work in the real world are not things he can easily abandon.

Since he transmigrated, he has never taken off the police uniform in his heart.

Being a policeman in this world would be far too boring.

However, when it comes to diligently completing tasks, Kaito Kid's favorability rating is currently stuck at 11, unlike Shinichi Kudo when he transforms back and can have a similar boost.

Furthermore, it's unclear when Shuichi Akai will reappear.

He can only fleece Conan, Amuro Tooru, and Hakuba Saguru.

The difficulty of three people getting 300 points is incomparable to that of five people getting 300 points.

Yoruichi Toyama couldn't come up with any good solutions, but she did get the wise man who came to visit her.

Mingzhi was very thoughtful; he called ahead to say he was coming and even brought a big bag of the kind of cat food that Taro loved.

Upon entering, he only greeted Yoruichi Toyama once before starting to call out "Kotaro-kun" and exchange pleasantries with Neko.

Seeing how well the two of them were discussing things, Yuanshan Ye suddenly began to doubt whether his inability to understand cat language was a flaw.

After exchanging pleasantries, Akechi, without waiting for Yoruichi Toyama to ask any questions, began to talk about Kaito Kuroba.

As previously hinted at, Kaito Kuroba is fighting against a mysterious organization.

This organization firmly believes in the power of a gem called "Pandora" that can unlock the secret to human immortality.

Therefore, they searched everywhere by any means necessary.

"Doesn't that sound a bit like a 'drinkhouse'?" Akechi commented.

He was one of the first people to know Conan's true identity, so he had a clear understanding of the subsequent details, both from his personal experience and from his connections within the police force.

Yoruichi Toyama shook his head.

"They shouldn't be the same organization."

“That’s definitely not the case,” Akechi nodded.

"Judging from past actions, what the distillery focuses on acquiring, besides necessary things like money and power, is cutting-edge technology."

"I'm not one of those mystical enthusiasts who believe in the power of gemstones."

As he spoke, he became increasingly sarcastic, and Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but laugh.

He thought that the mysterious organization on Douzi's side was indeed a ridiculous existence.

However, because that mysterious organization sent someone to assassinate Kaito Kuroba's father, Toichi Kuroba, who was also the first Phantom Thief Kid, they became mortal enemies with the Kuroba family.

That's why Kaito Kuroba inherited his father's identity, specifically to oppose this organization, while also trying to find news of his father, whose fate is unknown.

From this perspective, the impact of Kaito Kid on the general public is actually not that great.

After all, he mainly stole priceless gems, and the ones who suffered losses were basically the wealthy capitalists.

This is the conclusion given by the police.

“But as long as he commits a crime, the police will definitely investigate, which is a waste of police resources.”

"Moreover, wherever Phantom Thief Kid goes, he causes considerable social unrest, not to mention the damage to public or private property he causes by setting up certain mechanisms."

Yoruichi Toyama insisted.

Capitalists are certainly hateful, but the idea of ​​thieves taking down the rich should only happen in societies with imperfect legal systems.

A fair and orderly society must be governed by the rule of law, not by the rule of men.

Those who break the law must be held accountable.

Besides, who says that Kaito Kid won't cause losses to ordinary people?

If it weren't for the successful capture of Kaito Kuroba this time, he would have caused a large-scale power outage in the "Magician of the End of the Century" case, which hadn't even happened yet.

Who will pay for the losses of factories, hospitals, and other special departments that need electricity to operate 24 hours a day?

Seeing Yoruichi Toyama's serious expression, Akechi smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"So I said, you guy, you make me feel like a cop every now and then."

“He’s even more like one of his colleagues who are just sitting in their positions without doing anything.”

When it comes to certain unhelpful colleagues, Young Master Mingzhi's indignant tone becomes unmistakable.

Yoruichi Toyama smiled and asked him about the next steps for Kaito Kuroba.

"It's just a typical juvenile crime, the police give a lecture, the person signs a letter of repentance, the stolen items are returned, and so on."

There was a hint of weariness in Mingzhi's expression, and it was hard to say whether it was aversion to this "juvenile offender protection law".

However, objectively speaking, this is good news for Yoruichi Toyama.

It's estimated that Kaito Kuroba will be able to get out without even going to jail.

"As for that organization, we'll see whether it gets handed over to the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department or the Public Security Bureau."

When the word "public security" was mentioned, both Akechi and Yoruichi Toyama's eyes flickered.

It was obvious that he was thinking of a police officer who was working three jobs at the same time.

Suddenly, Yoruichi Toyama thought of a question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time, and her curiosity burst forth.

"Tell me, when exactly did you and that Officer Furuya start their feud?"

Yoruichi Toyama chuckled and nudged Akechi with the back of her hand.

"I've asked him several times, but he won't tell me. Is he feeling guilty, or...?"

Or am I just trying to save face for you? ...

In front of the proud and arrogant young master Akechi, Yoruichi Toyama swallowed back her last words.

But Akechi understood and gave a dismissive snort.

"Of course he's guilty! I bet he'd be too embarrassed to openly admit to those kinds of espionage activities."
