So he simply asked out of curiosity, "What project is it that Ms. Shimomura is so optimistic about?"
Shimomura Shiho burst into laughter at this question, which was exactly what she wanted to hear.
"It's a brand new project from the computer industry giant Schindler Group, called 'cocoon,' have you heard of it?"
The words "computer," "Schindler," and "cocoon" swirled in Yoichi Toyama's mind before he suddenly realized what they meant.
I've heard of it! I've heard of it so many times!
Artificial intelligence's Noah's Ark! Virtual reality games! The ghosts of Baker Street!
Why did you choose to invest in such a project? In the end, you'll lose everything... Wait a minute!
Yoruichi Toyama quickly thought about it again.
Although it's still unknown how things will develop with the Schindler Group, Noah's Ark is still in limbo.
However, it doesn't necessarily have to follow the original plot!
When I have some free time, I'll go over there and stir things up a bit.
Putting the case aside, the world we live in now is quite different from the original story.
With wireless networks ubiquitous and mobile phones having become mobile smart terminals, developing Cocoon, the virtual reality game, at this time can be said to be perfectly timed.
In the long run, this project... can make money!
Since it was Shimomura Shiho who invested the money for him, he wasn't afraid of losing it.
With this in mind, Yoruichi Toyama quickly nodded.
"Although I haven't heard of it... I trust Ms. Shimomura's judgment."
"I'll leave everything to you."
...
After leaving Shimomura Shiho's special ward, Toyama Yoruichi returned to her previous ward and asked a few questions to each person on the list.
Because my mind was suddenly drawn to the ghosts of Baker Street, I couldn't remember the case at hand.
All I could do was patiently chat with people, trying to find some clues from their conversations.
"Huh? Are you a detective? You look so young!"
In the hospital room where Shimomura and her son had just moved out, a girl with a rather large bust excitedly spoke.
She looks to be about the same age as Yoruichi Toyama, but upon closer inspection of her information, she is already 28 years old and works as a hostess at a small bar.
No wonder she struck various revealing poses while talking.
"Enough, you woman! Do you have to flirt with everyone you meet?" the young man on the next hospital bed shouted in dissatisfaction.
Yoruichi Toyama pretended not to hear and kept looking down at the documents.
The young man's name was Mazumoto Jun, and he was the bartender at the same tavern.
To put it bluntly, he was responsible for pimping for that hostess, Kikukawa Kozue.
The two came to the amusement park together; you could say they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Yoruichi Toyama had nothing to say about Japan's atmosphere, which he wasn't sure could be considered open.
All I can do is respect and offer my best wishes...
According to Kikukawa Kozue, she not only had no money, but was also heavily in debt.
"Who with money would do this kind of work?" she said nonchalantly.
They've probably become numb to it all.
Mazu was one of the people who "helped" her widen the hole of debt.
There's no way these two could have anything of value to them.
Yoruichi, having no intention of asking any more questions, stood up to leave, but suddenly stopped.
"By the way, you all work at the same pub... um, waiter, right?"
Have you ever heard of the name "Mailing Meijia"?
