Totally made for each other

So, the thought of Akai and Furuya kind of won't leave me alone. (Unsurprising, given that, as previously noted, all the detective types have five times the chemistry with each other that they do with any official love interest.) So I pulled down the older eps and rewatched, to get a feel for them, and my goodness are these two made for each other.

( it's been running for 20 years, do 'spoilers' apply any more? )

In conclusion: pairing catnip.
