Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

At 3pm, the school bell rang, the gate of Teitan Elementary School opened, and students came out one after another. But everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the woman standing against the wall at the school gate.

It’s nothing, it’s just that this person is so conspicuous, and there are so many cats around her!

A black and white cow cat lay on her shoulder, with its tail hooked around her neck, making it look like a big scarf.

In addition, there were four or five cats of different colors and breeds squatting or lying at her feet. These cats were not afraid of people and were not panicked when being watched by people. They looked super well-behaved.

Kudo Shinichi, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko saw this scene as soon as they came out of the school gate. The three of them couldn't help but widen their eyes and shouted at the same time.

"Sister Sakurai!"

"Sakurai-ah...sister!"

Koizumi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Here we go again, Kudo Shinichi's "Sakurai". Is it so difficult to get it right the first time?

She took off her sunglasses and waved to the three children who came over with a smile: "Hi, long time no see."

Some of the elementary school students surrounding Sakurai Izumi knew the three people, and they all gathered around in surprise.

"Hey, you know this person, who is she?"

"The cat is so cute, can I pet it?"

"Is this person a man or a woman?"

Kudo Shinichi looked speechlessly at the classmate who asked the last question: "We all call her Sakurai-sister."

"But she really does look like a man."

Koizumi patted the kid on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Don't you think I look handsome in this outfit?"

The child was frightened by her and hurriedly hid behind Kudo Shinichi, but couldn't help looking at her curiously and shaking his head vigorously.

This little brat, why is he talking nonsense?

Seeing Xiaolan hiding behind the crowd with a timid look on her face, she reached out and pulled her over, took the sheriff off her body and stuffed it into her arms: "I heard from Sister Mingmei that you came to the store several times but I was not there, which was embarrassing. I just happened to pass by here today, so I stopped by to see you."

"Passing by?"

Kudo Shinichi turned around and looked at the group of cats at her feet, with a look of doubt on his face: "Will you bring so many cats with you when you go out?"

Koizumi spread his hands and said, "I brought the sheriff here, the others followed me on their own. You know how popular I am with cats."

The children watching nearby were still unwillingly asking Xiaolan and Sonoko about Koizumi's identity.

Xiaolan, who had always been excluded by her peers, was forced to accept a wave of enthusiastic baptism from her classmates. She was already a little dizzy, and honestly told them about the Black Cat Agency and the cat cafe.

"Cat cafe? Where is it? It sounds interesting!"

This time, Koizumi took the initiative to help Xiaolan out and introduced the Black Cat Office to the children: "The Black Cat Office is not far from here. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there. If you are interested, I can let my cat lead the way for you."

"Eh? Let the cat lead the way?!"

The children all became interested when they heard it.

Koizumi's original plan was to have the sheriff and his men wait at the school gate while he went in to investigate the situation. Seeing the situation, he gave them a new task.

Koizumi touched the head of the cow cat in Xiaolan's arms and said, "Sheriff, please help me. Please take these children to the office safely and let Miyano Akemi receive them. Can you do it?"

The cow cat jumped out of Xiaolan's arms, meowed, and wagged its tail proudly.

Although Koizumi couldn't understand cat language in her human form, she was already familiar with these guys, so even if she couldn't understand, she could still understand what they meant. So she smiled and patted its head: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Meow!"

The sheriff gave an order and took the lead to leave with a group of cats.

Koizumi said to the children, "Okay, now you just have to follow them and you will find my cat cafe."

"real or fake!"

"Go, go, go, hurry up and catch up!"

A group of children instantly became interested and followed the cats away.

Yuanzi watched them run away with eyes wide open, and exclaimed: "The sheriff is really smart!"

Xiaolan nodded in agreement.

Little Kudo put his hands behind his head, his eyes half-mooned, "I say, you're not here just to advertise, are you?"

Eh, why didn’t I think of that? It seems this way of advertising is quite effective. Can you do it more often in the future?

Koizumi glared: "Kid, you don't believe what I say?"

Kudo Shinichi: "Tell me the truth, what are you doing here?"

What an unpleasant child!

Koizumi reached out and flicked his head: "Okay, I do have something I want to ask you for help with."

Kudo Shinichi covered his forehead and complained unhappily: "Humph, I knew it!"

In contrast, Xiaolan seemed well-behaved and cute: "Sister Sakurai, is there anything you need our help with?"

Sonoko also echoed, "Yes, we are just elementary school students!"

Koizumi smiled and said, "It is precisely because you are students of Teitan Elementary School that you can help me."

"Eh?"

Koizumi continued, "After this period of investigation, I still plan to run the cat cafe and the agency separately, so I need to redesign a logo for the agency."

Xiaolan looked confused: "What is Lougou?"

Kudo Shinichi immediately explained, "It's the English word 'logo', which means trademark. Sakurai... uh, sister, are you going to design a new logo for the agency?"

Koizumi sighed in his heart, this kid really knows a lot, and nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

Yuanzi's eyes widened: "Are you looking for us to design for you?"

She turned her head and glanced at Kudo Shinichi: "Ran and I can try, but there's a guy here who can't even do his art homework properly. He definitely can't do it!"

Kudo Shinichi's face suddenly turned red: "Hey, there's no need to say this kind of thing!"

Yuanzi turned her head away proudly: "Humph, anyway, I am telling the truth."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Koizumi interrupted them hastily: "No, I don't want to ask you to design. I heard that the new art teacher in your elementary school graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, so I wanted to ask you to help introduce him to me."

Sonoko nodded: "So you want to find Mr. Murakami, that's no problem, her paintings are really beautiful."

Then he said with some embarrassment: "But I have promised to go back early today."

As she said this, she turned and looked at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan also said in embarrassment: "I, I still have to go to karate class today..."

Both of them turned their eyes to Kudo Shinichi.

Little Kudo said impatiently: "Eh? I want to go back and read the novel."

Koizumi: ...

She asked with a smile, "Little Kudo, have I solved the puzzle I gave you?"

Kudo Shinichi's expression froze.

"Oh, so it hasn't been solved yet? Well, let me think, how long has it been?"

"I know, I know! Can't I help you?" Little Kudo shouted helplessly, "But if you want my help, you have to give me the answer... No, you have to give me a hint! I will definitely deduce the correct answer next time!"

Koizumi smiled: "No problem, deal!"
