Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi looked at the unfamiliar police officer curiously and asked Megure Jusan, "Officer Megure, has that man been caught?"

Officer Megure nodded: "We caught him. He has a lot of gunshot wounds on his body. He is currently receiving treatment next to you."

Koizumi nodded and said with a frightened expression: "It's good that they caught me. Actually, there were seven people at the scene. I really thought I was dead."

“Seven people!”

All the police officers present were surprised. Officer Megure hurriedly said to Maori Kogoro behind him: "Hurry up and have someone check to see if there are any new clues!"

Kogoro Mori responded and hurried to work.

The police officer whom Koizumi didn't know coughed. Officer Megure glanced at him, then turned to Koizumi and said, "Sakurai, let me introduce you. This is Inspector Narita from the Narcotics Division. He has something to ask you."

Inspector Narita? Is that the policeman that Dr. Tani mentioned who suspected he was a murder suspect?

Koizumi nodded and turned his gaze to the crew-haired police officer: "No problem, I will try my best to cooperate."

Inspector Narita looked at Koizumi with a scrutinizing gaze, and seeing her calm expression and clear eyes, he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment. However, when he thought of the murderer's stable performance in handling the crime scene, which showed an extraordinary stability of mentality, he immediately reaffirmed his thoughts.

"Ahem, hello, Ms. Sakurai. I heard that Futakawa Takashi was captured by you. Could you please tell me what happened at that time?"

Koizumi was at a loss for a moment.

Futagawa Takashi, who is that?

Officer Megure quickly reminded, "It's the drug dealer you caught at Teitan Elementary School."

Koizumi then remembered this person: "Oh, I see, he is the boyfriend of Kumi Murakami, the art teacher at Teitan Elementary School, right?"

She took a breath and continued, "I went to see Mr. Murakami that day because I wanted her to help me redesign a logo for my office..."

Before she finished, Inspector Narita interrupted and said, "I heard that your detective agency has been open for a while. Why did you suddenly change the logo?"

Koizumi: "You should also know that my agency and the cat cafe currently use the same logo. Since the agency opened, the cat cafe's business has been good, but the agency has not been doing so well. I thought about promoting these two businesses separately, so I went to find..."

Inspector Narita interrupted her again: "Then how did you find out that there was something wrong with Mr. Murakami?"

Koizumi was a little tired from talking, and she took a breath before continuing, "Murakami locked the door from the inside when she was alone in the art classroom. When she found out that the person who came to see her was her student, she spoke in a panic and was unable to open the door immediately. I heard the sound of a plaster statue being moved inside, and then..."

Inspector Narita interrupted her again: "Then how did you find out there was something wrong with the plaster statue?"

Koizumi was a little confused. Wasn't the case already closed? What was the point of asking these questions now? Did Futakawa Takashi run away?

But before she could reply, she heard a familiar voice of an elementary school student coming from the door: "Uncle, you are so stupid! Why do you have to ask such a simple question? Things like plaster statues are usually placed at the back of the classroom. No one will move them until they are used in class! Sakurai...my sister said she heard the sound of someone moving the plaster statue. Anyone normal would be suspicious, right?"

This familiar "Sakurai".

Koizumi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Kudo Shinichi, wearing a blue suit, standing at the door with his hands behind his head, looking at Inspector Narita with a bored and speechless expression.

Hey, it’s winter now, and you’re not wearing a coat and your legs are bare, aren’t you cold?

Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and shouted in dissatisfaction: "You still ask such a simple question? Even an elementary school student like me knows it! And don't you see that Sakurai-san is feeling very uncomfortable now? You know she is not in a position to talk much right now, but you still ask so many questions without any understanding at all!"

Xiaolan also said indignantly: "Besides, you always interrupt others when they are talking. You have no manners at all!"

Standing behind the three children, Kisaki Eri smiled and waved to Koizumi. Behind her was the bewildered Mouri Kogoro.

Koizumi laughed: "Why are you here?"

Hibiki Eri walked to her bedside and pressed the call bell: "I heard that you were gloriously injured while catching drug dealers, so I came to see you, a great hero. When the three children heard that I was coming to see you, they all clamored to come with me. But it's a good thing we came, otherwise you might be bullied. Look, no one even noticed that the drip was over, right?"

Koizumi looked up at the empty medicine bottle, she didn't even notice it herself.

The three children also gathered around.

Mao Lilan's eyes turned red when she saw her body covered in patches. She reached out and gently touched the gauze wrapped around her arm: "Sakurai sister, are you seriously injured? Does it hurt?"

Koizumi reached out and touched her head: "It's okay, don't worry. You will be discharged from the hospital in no time."

"Really?" Little Kudo had a look of disbelief on his face. "But I heard that your lungs were pierced by bullets. From the sound of your voice, you will need to rest for a long time even if you are discharged from the hospital."

Suzuki Sonoko stepped on his foot in dissatisfaction: "Do you know how to comfort people?"

Little Kudo held his foot and cried out in pain: "Ouch, what are you doing! I didn't say anything wrong!"

Hibiki Eri tapped each of them on the head: "This is in the ward, both of you be quiet!"

Then she turned to look at Inspector Narita: "Inspector Narita, I'm Sakurai's lawyer. You don't mind my presence as an observer, right?"

How dare I mind?

Inspector Narita looked a little unhappy. His frequent interruptions of Koizumi's speech rhythm were intentional. He wanted to disrupt Koizumi's speech rhythm and emotions in this way to see if she would reveal any flaws. He didn't expect to be interrupted by a group of children and be scolded!

Without waiting for Officer Narita to speak, Koizumi asked anxiously, "Hasn't it been quite a while since this case happened? Has something unexpected happened?"

The look in her eyes was a little strange: "Did you lose the person again?"

The word "又" is very meaningful.

Officer Megure coughed awkwardly and explained, "No. This case was originally taken over by our Investigation Division 1, and later transferred to the Narcotics Squad. Inspector Narita also wanted to learn more about the situation from you, the client. After all, you left early and did not go to the Police Station to take a statement."

That's a plausible excuse.

Koizumi nodded: "Then, Inspector Narita, do you have anything else to ask?"

Inspector Narita simply gritted his teeth and asked directly: "Ms. Sakurai, where were you around 2:30 yesterday afternoon?"

Koizumi blinked his eyes: "What day was yesterday? How long was I unconscious?"

Officer Megure said, "Sakurai, that was the day you called me for help. Where were you at 2:30 that afternoon?"
