Takayuki Yagami: Evil Detective?

Takayuki Yagami: Evil Detective? (, Akutoku Tantei: Yagami Takayuki?) is the 41st side case in Lost Judgment.
==Plot==
When approaching his office, Yagami overhears two men say he had been blackmailing someone, and they run off when they see him. Two passersby recognize him as a thug from chatter, and he opens up the Buzz Researcher to learn more. By using they keyowrd "Yagami", he sees many bad rumors spreading about him. The keywords "threaten" and "fraud" show how much his reputation has sunk and the keyword "saw" indicates a sighting of the impostor in the Champion District.
Yagami heard an old man say he would hunt him, and ponders if he should approach him. When he approaches the old man, his grandson recognizes him as the man who stole his wallet, leading to the man attacking Yagami. The man trips and falls unconscious, and Yagami runs out, but two more old men -possibly triplets - wielding swords are also hunting for him. He disguises himself to sneak by them.
To learn more about this impostor, Yagami goes to Bar Tender. He sees a policeman ask Jo Masuda where he is. The policeman leaves, and Yagami asks Masuda of the situtation. Masuda states an impostor has been going around town causing misdeeds and throwing copies Yagami's business card around. If he has that many at hand, Yagami suspects the impostor went into his agency, which should be easy as he does not lock the door.
In his office, Yagami sees the impostor made a mess, and looks at the still-warm giant bowl of chili shrimp for evidence. Suspecting the impostor ran out after seeing Yagami arrive due to the fact the shrimp has not been touched, he calls Ranpo to track the strong smell. In Pink Alley, he sees the impostor blackmailing a businessman, and sees he is actually Sakakiba. Sakakiba still tries to act as Yagami, but Kasai tells him it is of no use now. The two team up to fight him and are defeated. With them gone, Yagami has cleared his name and joins Masuda in appreciating peace and quiet.

Some leftover shrimp in chili sauce ditched by someone in my office. I wonder if they had it delievered... It's still warm, so maybe they fled the place right before I arrived.

===Details===
Someone's been impersonating me around Kamurocho, doing all sorts of foul detective deeds. Blackmailing cheaters with photographic evidence, even straight-up shaking down passersby—none of the kinds of things I'd ever do. People must think he looks just like me, though...
Sakakiba turned out to be my impostor. He was out for revenge after I put a stop to the Neo Keihin Gang. Not sure what they were thinking, having him impersonate me... Why didn't they use Kasai, at least?
