Nakamori disliked that detective, which is why he kept detaining him without interrogating him. Why should Chaki take the blame for this?
It would be better to use this opportunity to save face for the First Investigative Division...
"Tea Tree Manager? Tea Tree Manager!"
After being called out repeatedly, Chamu finally snapped out of his reverie.
Just then, Eri Kisaki continued speaking with measured intonation: "...My client has always had an excellent record. Before this, she had assisted the police in solving many cases, including attempted murders..."
“Yes,” Mingzhi nodded, “I can testify in my personal capacity.”
“I can too,” Manager Matsumoto continued. “At my daughter’s wedding, Mr. Toyama and his assistant, Ms. Hayashi, stopped that scumbag, Toshihiko Takasugi, from assaulting my daughter.”
"I can say that my colleagues from the First Investigation Division are all witnesses to the fact that people who attended the wedding at the time."
Despite being on equal footing with the two people in front of him, Manager Chaki still felt a little weak in the knees.
So, you're trying to pull the entire First Investigation Division into your scheme?
“Furthermore, from an official perspective,” Akechi continued, as if he had heard his thoughts, “Mr. Toyama is also a special advisor hired by our First Investigation Division, with an appointment letter signed by the Superintendent General of Police.”
"If the Third Investigation Division is going to detain personnel from other departments, they should at least give them a heads-up," said Manager Matsumoto.
Helpless, the tea tree manager quickly clapped his hands and chuckled.
"Nonsense, nonsense! How could we possibly detain Mr. Toyama? We were just taking a routine statement."
"As far as I know, all the guests on the Queen Celeste had already given their statements before 2:00 a.m."
Eri Kisaki retorted.
"Only Mr. Toyama did not go home, and we could not get through to him on his cell phone."
The tea tree manager scratched his head in an awkward position, and for a moment, he even considered whether he could simply renege on the agreement and treat it as a missing person case.
Mingzhi watched as he pushed up his glasses.
"If Supervisor Chaki confirms that Toyama is not in Section 3, we can treat him as a missing person and begin a search within the Tokyo metropolitan area now."
"Huh? Ah... no, wait!" Manager Chaki immediately realized how outrageous he had just been and cried out in a panic.
"Nakamori! Nakamori!"
Inspector Nakamori, who had been summoned, still wore a fierce expression because he was still locked in a fierce battle with Kaito Kuroba.
But the strange combination of people in front of them gradually turned into confusion.
"Nakamori, has Mr. Toyama's statement been taken?"
The way the manager, Chaki, said those words was so effusive it could be used to stir-fry a dish, but Inspector Nakamori stubbornly refused to listen.
"Officer, there's no evidence to prove that person is innocent. Since he can disguise himself, it's hard to say who Phantom Thief Kid really is..."
"Is the 'evidence' that Inspector Nakamori is referring to just a confession from Mr. Toyama admitting that he is Kaito Kid?"
Eri Kisaki interrupted him sternly.
"Otherwise, if you do a simple investigation, you'll find that Mr. Toyama has alibis for all the times when Kaito Kid committed his crimes."
"Mr. Toyama entered Japan from the UK six months ago and had no prior experience living in Japan."
"You're ignoring such obvious evidence and insisting on framing him. I highly suspect that you've used any illegal means to extract a confession from him, who has been detained without cause!"
"W-What?!" Inspector Nakamori was so angry he was about to jump up and down. "Are you saying I used torture to extract a confession?"
If I could use torture to extract a confession, I would have beaten that black-feathered brat up a long time ago, okay?
"Alright, Nakamori!" Manager Chaki was getting a headache, wondering what other terrible things this queen-like lawyer would say if things dragged on any longer.
"Release him as soon as the statement is taken, don't drag it out!"
Faced with the pressure from his superior, Inspector Nakamori gritted his teeth and pulled out the key to the detention room.
Without saying a word, Mingzhi rushed to the front.
When the room was opened, the group couldn't see Yoruichi Toyama for a moment.
