Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Hisao Kamimatsu came back with the police officers who went out on a mission.

When he walked in and saw Koizumi sitting at the bar in good condition, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to ask, "Are you okay?"

Koizumi smiled at him in a relaxed manner: "Don't worry, it's okay."

Seeing that the police behind them were scattered around to investigate and no one came to listen to their conversation, Koizumi winked at him and whispered, "I've cleaned it up for you. I promise there won't be any problems."

Kamimatsu Hisao smiled and gave her a thumbs-up.

The door lock was broken, there were several bullet holes inside, and some tables and chairs were damaged due to fighting. Although such a serious problem as the shooting occurred, the damage to the store was minor, which was a blessing in disguise.

The police inspected the scene and reviewed the store's surveillance video, but were unable to find any further problems.

A police officer with a mustache and squinty eyes watched the surveillance video for a long time, and finally said to Koizumi: "Excuse me, Ms. Sakurai, you knew that the store was dangerous, why did you return early?"

Koizumi said righteously, "I want to know what is so attractive about a tavern that would make him take risks that are totally disproportionate to the benefits and commit such a crime. I am at least a semi-professional, and now I have changed my career to become a detective. Just think of me as wanting to satisfy my curiosity."

The mustache officer nodded seriously, turned to the man beside him named Uematsu Toshio and said, "That's it. Mr. Uematsu, can you explain to us what is here that would attract them?"

Kamimatsu Hisao had long been accustomed to the process of dealing with the police, and immediately said aggrievedly: "I also want to know the answer to this question, Officer Hattori! You can just check in my store, I will definitely cooperate with your work to the fullest!"

Koizumi's heart moved slightly.

Officer Hattori?

Long face, curly hair, squinty eyes...ah, this person couldn't be the father of Conan's dark-skinned good friend Hattori Heiji, Hattori...what's Hattori?

Officer Hattori had dealt with Kamimatsu Hisao countless times and had long been familiar with this guy's watertight style of doing things. He knew that even if the police dug deep in this tavern, they would never be able to find any fault with this man.

It took a long time, and by the time the police left it was almost dinner time.

Because the Yelu Bar was going to be closed, Kamimatsu Hisao took Koizumi to another small restaurant nearby: "In fact, half of the shops on this street are mine. If you come to see me next time, just go to any shop and say my name. You don't have to go to the Yelu Bar."

Xiaoquan exclaimed in his heart, "Wow! No wonder there is such an exaggerated secret passage hidden in your tavern. You have designed all the houses around here into a maze, right? This person is indeed born in the Year of the Rabbit!"

Although it was not a French meal, Kamimatsu Hisao still treated Koizumi to a good meal, and he even reserved the entire place.

The people in this restaurant were obviously all Shangsong's own people. After serving the two people to finish their meal, they immediately avoided them very tactfully.

Koizumi finally had the chance to ask his own question: "Actually, even if I don't care today, you still have a way to get out of these troubles, right?"

Kamimatsu Hisao did not answer, but smiled and asked: "Actually, your original purpose was the same as those people's, right?"

The two looked at each other, smiled, and clinked their cups together, but Koizumi still insisted on drinking her iced Coke.

Kamimatsu Hisao smiled and said, "Some things are better known in your heart without saying them out loud. For example..."

He smiled meaningfully at Koizumi and said, "I won't ask you about your identity, and you don't have to tell me. I'm just a businessman, and we can just talk with money."

Koizumi smiled and said, "No problem."

"What a shame. I was planning to recruit you to work for me."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, remote cooperation is the same!"

"Of course, you are a capable friend, and I may need your help in the future. If you want anything in the future, just ask me, and I will give you a discount!"

"Okay, how much discount?"

"99% off!"

"...profiteer!"

------

"Yes, I do have such information in my hand. If you want to ask me for the price, why don't you just come to me and ask for the price? These bastards didn't even say hello and just came up and killed me. If you hadn't stopped them, I would have asked someone to pour cement on them all and sink them!"

"Ahaha, maybe they didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to."

"I'm a businessman. I can sell anything for the right price. As long as I have it and you can afford it, don't worry. It's the standard market price. I've been in this business for half my life. If I didn't have a bit of credibility, I would have been killed countless times."

"What about the information I asked for just now?"

"10 million yen, no bargaining."

"Where's the discount you promised me?"

"Who are you saving money for? It's not something you want. And you think the price is too high? Do you know how much effort I put in just to get this? And the people who need this information will definitely need to invest no less than 500 million in the initial stage of their business. Do you still think it's expensive now? If you can't even bear to spend a small amount of 10 million yen, hehe..."

"You're right. Who am I saving money for? It's not worth it. I say, can you get some fireworks?"

"Fireworks? Oh, I see. Do you want any for yourself? How many do you want..."

Koizumi pressed the stop button on the recorder, threw a floppy disk on the table, and said to Gin: "Here, the things are, I paid you in advance with a favor. Remember to transfer the money!"

Gin:......

I think you did it on purpose, leaking the news that you had made the bomb to me. Is this considered a threat?

"Anyway, the mission is accomplished, and I have paid off my debt for October. I'll go see if there's anything else fun to do, and see you later. Remember to send me the money!"

Gin:......

The sentence that impressed me the most after listening to the work report was: "Remember to transfer the money."

After watching Koizumi run to the bar to look through the task list, Gin winked at Vodka next to him: "Inspect the goods."

Vodka immediately picked up the floppy disk on the table and left.

Gin: "Jack Daniel, what do you see?"

The curly-haired middle-aged man whom Koizumi had seen before came over and sat down in the chair opposite him. "What I saw was exactly the same as what she described herself."

"You weren't discovered?"

"I have been observing from a very long distance and have not been discovered."

"If according to what she said, she had completed the mission yesterday, why did she come back only now? Where was she during the day?"

Jack Daniel answered in a calm tone without any ups and downs: "She went to Tsutenkaku in the morning, went to Osaka Castle in the morning, and then went to the nearby shopping street. In the afternoon, she took a water bus to tour the Osaka Canal, and then went shopping. In the evening..."

"That's it!"

Koizumi, who was sitting at the bar, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

She did not notice the stalker yesterday, but she was still aware of it today, so she stayed in Osaka for one more day and did not return to Tokyo until the evening.

It turns out his code name is Jack Daniel's.

Koizumi tried everything but failed to shake off this stalker. He was indeed very capable, worthy of being an old CIA who had been lurking in the organization for ten years.

But he didn't report my attempt to get rid of him. Could it be that this man had some idea about me?

Jack Daniel waited in silence.

After a long time, Gin said again: "What do you think of this person?"

"She is capable, but still needs to be evaluated. Especially since she seems to have a good relationship with the police. Do we need to continue monitoring her?"

"……No."

The man called Jack Daniel didn't say much, just stood up and left silently.

Not long after, Vodka came back in a hurry: "Brother, the information is fine."

Gin nodded: "Give her money."

Vermouth came over and sat down in the seat where Jack Daniel had just sat. She looked at Gin jokingly and said, "Is this okay? Isn't this an assessment task? Are you already impatient to give her a code name?"

Gin snorted, "I'll report the results. As for the code name? Humph, it's too early."
