Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi's wound really broke.

It wasn't until she was a while into the car that she realized the problem.

At this point she had no way of concealing the situation because the blood had soaked her clothes. Fortunately, she was wearing dark clothes so it wasn't too obvious.

I have a headache. There is Ethan in front of me. Can I hide it from him? How can I fool him?

Koizumi pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and lit one for himself.

Ethan Bentang looked at her in the rearview mirror.

"So you still smoke?"

"Ah."

"Those guys just now should be students still attending the police academy. Do you know them?"

"Yes, a former classmate."

"It looks like you two don't have a very good relationship?"

Koizumi: ...

Did he see me push Hagiwara Kenji away? It would be great if you could believe that.

Seeing that Koizumi just had a cold face and didn't say anything, Ethan Hondou took it as if she agreed with his guess.

"Why did you meddle in other people's business just now? You should know what the consequences will be if you can't make up for yesterday's work progress today."

Koizumi narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice a little chilly: "...meddling in other people's business? Is this what you really think?"

"Isn't it? Whatever the accident was, it had nothing to do with you, right?"

Koizumi was silent for two seconds and suddenly said, "Stop the car."

Ethan Hondou frowned, looked at her expression through the rearview mirror, and then met Koizumi's cold gaze.

Koizumi reached out and pointed the shotgun at the back of Ethan Hondou's head, saying word by word, "I told you to stop the car."

Ethan was not panicked at all and parked the car steadily on the side of the road: "I'm curious, where did you hide the gun? Are you a magician?"

Koizumi ignored his question, waved his hand to put the gun away again, opened the car door and got out: "You can go now, I don't need a partner like you."

Ethan opened the car window and looked at her, then asked calmly, "Why? Wasn't everything fine before?"

Koizumi sneered: "People with different ideologies cannot work together. You can get out now."

Having said that, she turned and was about to leave.

Ethan chuckled and said, "Who is going to leave now?"

Koizumi paused, feeling a little surprised. This man who had always behaved like a stagnant pool of water finally showed some aggressiveness. But why did he choose to attack at this time?

Seeing that Koizumi did not insist on leaving, but was not angry because of what he said, Ethan Hondou chuckled and asked, "Are you sure you don't want me to take you to a reliable private clinic?"

Koizumi raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"You don't smell like cigarettes, and your fingers don't look like you're a regular smoker. So the cigarette you lit was to cover up the smell of blood on your body. You were injured, but not just now. The wound is very fresh, and probably sutured, so it broke open during the intense exercise. I heard that two days ago someone disguised himself as you and went to the Big Black Bar to assassinate Gin. Gin saw through the situation and shot him, but the man eventually escaped."

Ethan Hondou also lit a cigarette for himself, his expression unchanged, and he said calmly: "You escaped from Gin's pursuit and eliminated his suspicion. Being able to do this is enough to prove that you are really amazing."

Wow, he is indeed a veteran agent. His ability to collect and analyze intelligence is really admirable!

Koizumi was not afraid at all. He showed a very sexual expression and asked with a smile on his face, "You know a lot. What else have you analyzed? Tell me more."

Ethan Hondou stared at Koizumi for a long time with his dull eyes: "Aren't you going to refute my inferences?"

Koizumi spread his hands and said, "These are all facts. There is nothing to argue about."

"Why did you choose to assassinate Gin at this time? The timing is totally wrong, and I can't understand your motives."

Koizumi answered half-truthfully: "It wasn't an assassination, I didn't have the chance to do it. As for the timing and motivation, you can understand that I just wanted to test Gin on a whim."

Ethan took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled: "You don't seem to be afraid of what I said. Aren't you worried that I will report you to Gin?"

Koizumi tilted his head slightly and gave him a sly smile: "I'm not afraid at all, Mr. Agent."

Facing Koizumi's accusation, Ethan Hondo's pupils shrank slightly, his facial expression did not change at all, and his body remained relaxed, as if he had no signs of resistance. But Koizumi still heard his small movements from the slightest noise.

"Put your gun away, Mr. Hondou. Be careful not to accidentally hurt your allies."

Ethan Bentang stared at her with a pair of dead fish eyes, neither refutating nor replying.

Koizumi spread his hands and smiled, "You understand correctly. Generally speaking, our goals are the same. Now you and I each have a handle on the other, so it's even, isn't it?"

Ethan Bentang suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, his expression became more vivid: "I didn't expect that after so many years, I would hear these words from a little girl like you. This is really a bit incredible."

He sighed softly: "Am I getting old?"

Koizumi smiled: "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with you. I can sense your peculiarity only because I am a peculiar person myself."

Ethan Hondou obviously didn't understand what Koizumi meant by "special". He chuckled and tilted his head to signal Koizumi: "Come up, I'll take you to the clinic of my acquaintance."

"Okay." Koizumi got back into the car. "Please continue to be a supervisor and don't point fingers at the progress of my mission."

Ethan returned to his dead state and asked calmly, "Do you know the mission Gin gave me?"

Koizumi yawned. "You can guess. Humph, he forced me to take sides, but I don't necessarily have to cooperate with him. After all, I'm not a member of the organization yet, at least not in name."

Ethan Bentang quietly thought about what she meant by "standing in line", and after a while he said thoughtfully: "We just exchanged a secret, which does not mean that I will trust you. Do you understand?"

Koizumi rolled his eyes at him: "Same words to you."

"Okay. I'll just say this, and you can just listen to it. There will be a big move in Tokyo soon, and I think it's better for you to reconsider your stance."

Koizumi was suddenly shocked.

Yes. If there is no follow-up plan, what is the reason for Gin's busyness during this period?

Was it really that simple that he killed so many people and suppressed Rum's power in Tokyo just because he wanted to be the boss and have the right to speak? This was obviously impossible.

According to the description of Gin in the original work, this man is a die-hard fan of the leader of the organization, and his actions are in line with that gentleman's will.

He is killing people, that gentleman is the one who wants to kill people.

He is suppressing the rum, that gentleman is suppressing the rum.

The current situation is that there is definitely a serious conflict between the leader and the second-in-command of the organization, but it has not yet gotten to the point of a falling out.

In terms of the power of the organization in Tokyo, it is obvious that Rum has the upper hand. That gentleman has taken a fancy to something here, or rather, he has taken a fancy to something of Rum and wants to take it for himself.

Now all of Gin's little moves are to ultimately achieve this goal.

Because of the lack of information, Koizumi was unable to know what the interests of both parties were fighting for. The only thing he could be sure of was that if he did not intervene, the final winner would be that gentleman.

From the later plot of Detective Conan, it can be seen that the entire Tokyo has basically fallen into the hands of Gin.

If Rum can really restrain that gentleman, should she do something else for this heavyweight termite?

How can we avoid taking sides and offending others?

Seeing Koizumi lost in thought because of his words, Ethan Hondou retracted his gaze and continued to concentrate on driving, but he heard Koizumi suddenly ask, "Do you really think I'm meddling in your business today?"

Abbot Ethan pretended he didn't hear her question and didn't answer.

Koizumi stared at his back for a long while and sneered meaninglessly.

The small car returned to silence, but the atmosphere in the air had subtly changed from before.

After a moment of distraction, when he woke up, Koizumi was holding a piece of note in his hand.

[Crazy! How did you know he was an undercover agent! ]

Koizumi smiled slightly, took out a pen and wrote a line of answer below: [My father told me. Are you convinced? ]
