Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

In a corner far away from the scene, Maori Kogoro stared with surprise and asked: "Who did you say that woman is?"

Hibiki Eri patiently replied: "I've told you three times, her name is Sakurai Izumi, and she's a student at the police academy."

Maori Kogoro blurted out: "Is it Sakurai Izumi who was expelled from the police academy?"

Hibiki Eri's eyes widened slightly: "How do you know she was fired?"

Maori Kogoro: "This matter has long been spread in the Metropolitan Police Department. It is said that this guy was expelled from the police academy because of mental problems. How did you get together with this guy?"

Hibiki Eri frowned: "Izumi Sakurai has mental problems? Is there any evidence?"

Maori Kogoro: "Isn't the knife wound on her right wrist evidence? It's normal for someone who has committed suicide to have mental problems."

Eri Kisaki: "Is there any evidence that she attempted suicide? Are there any hospital examination results for her mental problems?"

Maori Kogoro said loudly in dissatisfaction: "Could it be that the police academy would wrongly accuse her?"

Hibiki Eri's face darkened, and she said loudly, "As far as I know, the reason for her expulsion from the police academy was that she was suspected of having a mental illness. Why did they use the word 'suspected'? Was there any clear identification result? If not, then the police academy's expulsion of her was illegal! And I'm sure Sakurai Izumi is right-handed, and the scar is on her right wrist. Could it be that she committed suicide with her left hand that she doesn't use often? There are so many doubts, and you, a criminal police officer, don't even know how to doubt it?"

Faced with this long list of accusations, Kogoro Mori was a little dumbfounded. He actually had not paid much attention to Sakurai Izumi's affairs. He just heard about it from others.

Scratching his head, Maori Kogoro said innocently: "How can I know so much? I just heard it from others."

He suddenly realized: "Wait a minute, how do you know so clearly?"

Kisaki Eri snorted, "Ms. Sakurai came to my law firm today and wanted to entrust me to file a lawsuit against the Metropolitan Police Department and the Police Academy. She told me the details herself."

Maori Kogoro's eyes widened: "What! She also wants to report to the police station? You didn't accept her commission, did you?"

Fei Yingli took a deep breath and said, "No, I'm still thinking about it."

Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Is this woman really crazy? She actually wants to report it to the police station?"

"Kogoro, you'd better be careful with your words!" Hibiki Eri suddenly got angry and roared in a low voice, "This crazy woman you are talking about first saved Xiaolan, then helped you catch the bomber, and finally saved three policemen including you from the time bomb!"

Maori Kogoro showed an embarrassed expression on his face and begged for mercy quickly: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. But even so, you are not allowed to accept her commission!"

Hibiki Eri snorted coldly: "Not allowed to accept it? Why not? Is it because my husband is a useless detective from the Metropolitan Police Department? I tell you, I originally didn't intend to accept this commission, but now I have changed my mind!"

After saying that, Kisaki Eri turned around and left angrily.

"Hey, you're saying this because you're angry with me! You must be kidding!" Kogoro Mouri hurriedly chased after him.

After they walked away, Aburashi Yoshiaki came out from the corner. He carefully put away the portable recorder in his hand, with a smug smile on his face.

He just came here in the direction that Koizumi "pointed" and indeed heard something good.

Oh boy, so this is the truth.

Normally, the police academy is a subordinate institution of the Metropolitan Police Department, and there is no need to target a student like this. Could Sakurai's situation be caused by a high-ranking official who can influence the police academy? Could it be the superintendent who was beaten last time?

Then the target of her fireworks revenge is...

Come to think of it, Sakurai actually found a female lawyer whose husband is a detective. Hey, what a bad taste.

Maybe today's explosion was also part of the plan that Sakurai refused to talk about?

How could she be expelled from the police academy for slander and suddenly become a hero who helped the Metropolitan Police Department solve the case and saved the police? How could such a coincidence happen!

She also plans to sue the Metropolitan Police Department?

This girl is really good at journalism! I have to keep a close eye on her.

Here, Yubashi left with a smug look on his face, preparing to return to the scene to continue waiting for the results of the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation into the explosion. Behind him, Kurofuji Kizo watched Yubashi leave.

He understood Sakurai Izumi's strange criteria for finding a lawyer, but why did this guy go to the police station? Is he still trying to clear his name? But as an undercover police officer, shouldn't you seize the opportunity to infiltrate the organization?

Last time, Boss Rum gave him a batch of dirty work, which was supposed to be given to the undercover agent Koizumi to do, but this guy seemed to have no intention of doing the work at all.

How should he complete these tasks? Should he let this old man do it all by himself?

...Or maybe just kill this woman directly. Those idiots in the public security department should be able to send down another group of hardworking and capable people soon.

Alas, this kind of undercover agent is really a headache!

-

Koizumi was getting a little impatient when he saw a group of seven or eight policemen walking towards him.

She thought she could finally leave, but she didn't expect the leader to look at her unkindly and said, "Izumi Sakurai, right? I'm Shintaro Chaki. I suspect you are an accomplice of the bomber this time. Please come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with us to cooperate with the investigation."

Huh? What did you say?

Koizumi looked at the man who was talking. He had a square face, a mustache, and a side part. Judging from his rank, he was a police inspector. He was unfamiliar and had no impression of him. Even if he had appeared in the film, he was probably not an important character.

She didn't even stand up: "Who are you?"

The man took out the police manual and waved it in front of her: "I am Chaki Shintaro, an inspector of the Second Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division. Please cooperate with our work!"

Koizumi sneered, "Oh, Mr. Inspector, you are such a high-ranking official. I just saved three of your colleagues from a time bomb an hour ago, and many people can testify to that. What makes you say that I am an accomplice of the bomber?"

Chaki Shintaro: "We suspect that you colluded with the bomber to create this vicious incident!"

Before Koizumi could say anything, she heard Eri Kisaki's voice behind her: "Mr. Inspector Chaki, may I ask what is the basis for your suspicion? Do you have any evidence?"

Koizumi turned around in surprise and saw Kisaki Eri walking quickly to her side, followed by Mouri Kogoro with a grim look on his face.

Chaki Shintaro knew that Kisaki Eri was Maori Kogoro's wife, so he immediately frowned and asked, "Mauri Kogoro, what do you mean by this?"

Kisaki Eri spoke before Maori Kogoro: "I have accepted Miss Sakurai's commission and will serve as her defense lawyer to file a lawsuit against the Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Police Academy for illegally expelling Miss Sakurai from the academy. According to the agreement, I have the right to inquire about any disputes that occur during the period of Miss Sakurai's commission."

Huh? Has Hibiki Eri agreed to be my lawyer? Is this something else that I don't know about?
