Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Yi Dahang turned around and asked, "Who was that woman just now?"

He had only asked casually, but he didn't expect Hagiwara Kenji to answer casually, "That's Eri Kisaki. She met Sakurai during the shopping street bombing case, and it was at that time that she publicly announced that she had taken over Sakurai's commission and became her attorney. Later, various incidents that Sakurai encountered were related to this lawyer, and later she should have signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Sakurai's firm. She can be regarded as a very important partner of Sakurai's identity as a detective."

Yi Dahang nodded: "What about the police officer just now?"

"That one is Maori Kogoro, an outstanding graduate of our police academy, and the current chief of patrol in the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. He is the husband of Attorney Hime. The little girl with horns on her hair is their child, Maori Ran. The little girl wearing a headband is Suzuki Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group. The boy is Kudo Shinichi, the only son of writer Kudo Yuu. These three children are all students of Beika Elementary School."

Kenji Hagiwara was listening to the conversation in the room with his ears perked up, while absent-mindedly introducing his classmates. As he was talking, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw that his four classmates were all staring at him with burning eyes.

Hagiwara was startled by them: "What are you doing?"

Matsuda Jinpei: "...Where did you get all this information from?"

Hagiwara Kenji replied with a nonchalant expression: "Huh? Just read newspapers and magazines, and chat with others and you will find out."

Everyone was a little speechless.

Matsuda Jinpei: "...I know you like gossip, but you are amazing to be able to gossip to this extent."

Hagiwara Kenji shrugged: "I'll take it as a compliment."

"Tsk..."

Date Ko: "Then let me continue to ask, is the Maori police officer just now also a supporter of Sakurai?"

Hagiwara Kenji replied: "It's hard to say. It is said that Officer Mori usually has a lot of complaints about Sakurai, and he often quarrels with Lawyer Hime about her."

He stroked his chin and thought for a while: "But looking at the scene just now, I feel that this statement is very untrue. Maybe there is something else going on."

Just then, they heard the clear voice of the little boy named Kudo Shinichi coming from the room.

"Don't be afraid! I believe in you!"

"Oh, thank you."

Yi Dahang was silent for a moment, then punched the wall hard, making a "bang" sound.

He closed his eyes and took a long, deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze became firm, without any hesitation: "...I have decided."

He didn't need to say anything more, the four of them all understood.

They knew very well that because of their personalities, the ones who were most emotionally complicated and tormented among the five of them were probably Date Kou and Furuya Rei.

Matsuda Jinpei laughed: "The clues you told the police officer before can't constitute effective evidence, right?"

Before Date Kou could say anything, Furuya Rei suddenly said, "Yes, I didn't see that person's face. If it wasn't for what happened later, I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong."

Matsuda Jinpei turned around and looked at Hagiwara Kenji and Morofushi Kagemitsu again.

Hagiwara Kenji: "Why are you looking at me? I just came here with you guys."

Zhu Fujing spread his hands: "Me too, I didn't see anything in the first place."

Jinpei Matsuda laughed and subconsciously reached out to take out the cigarette case, but immediately realized that they were in the hospital, so he put it back into his pocket.

------

The eyewitness identification phase is over.

All the police officers led by Officer Narita and Officer Megure left, leaving only Koizumi, Kisaki Eri, the two girls and five police academy students in the room.

The five "eyewitnesses" exchanged glances, and just when Hagiwara was about to say something, Furiya Rei saw Koizumi raise his hand and touch his hair as if unintentionally, and made a very obscure gesture.

Fūya Rei's heart suddenly tightened and he quickly pulled Hagiwara.

Almost at the same time, Jinpei Matsuda, who was standing on the other side of Kenji Hagiwara, also pulled him.

Koizumi turned his head to look at Kisaki Eri and the two little girls next to him, and seeing that they were talking and not looking at him, he repeated the gesture more clearly.

This time, all five people saw her movements clearly.

That was the tactical sign language they had learned: There's a monitor!

Although she was seriously injured and hospitalized, she was still on duty and was in danger!

Koizumi glanced at the three people next to him and gestured again.

This time it’s: retreat!

Sakurai was warning them not to say anything, not to do anything, and to leave quickly!

Yi Dahang suddenly realized, no wonder she was in a hurry to distance herself from them just now.

The teasing that was on the tip of my tongue was swallowed back, and the words of greeting and wishing her a speedy recovery were stuck in my throat.

In this awkward and somewhat weird scene, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly said, "Hey, Sakurai, we're going back to school now."

Koizumi: ...

What does Jinpei Matsuda mean by this?

She looked at the five people and couldn't help but ask a question: "...Oh, goodbye?"

Matsuda Jinpei: "Shouldn't you thank us?"

Koizumi looked confused: "Why? Thank you for what?"

Matsuda Jinpei laughed and said jokingly, "Thank us for not framing you. You told the truth."

Koizumi: ...

This person's tone really deserves a beating!

She sneered and replied, "Okay, then I thank your whole family."

Five people:……

You call that a thank you? Are you sure that's not an insult?

After a few words, Hagiwara Kenji had already understood Matsuda Jinpei's train of thought, and he also joined in the teasing, "Why is your temper still the same as when you were in the police academy? Can't you be more easy-going?"

Koizumi realized that these people didn't leave quickly just to help her strengthen her image, so she mercilessly counterattacked, "What's it got to do with you?"

The rapidly rising tension attracted the attention of Kisaki Eri and the two children, and three pairs of curious eyes all fell on them.

Seeing that Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji looked like they were about to get addicted to quarreling, Date Kou hurriedly stopped them and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense and go back."

Then he nodded to the people over there and walked out, dragging one person with each hand.

Seeing that Kisaki Eri and the two children's attention were all attracted by them, Koizumi made a third set of gestures.

"Be careful, kid."

After the five people left the ward and walked a long distance in the corridor, Zhu Fu Jingguang asked in a low voice: "What does it mean to be careful with the child?"

"Hello, big brothers!" Kudo Shinichi suddenly jumped out from the corner, grabbed the hem of Date Kou's clothes, looked at them with sparkling eyes and asked, "You are all police academy students, right?"

------

Ten minutes later, little Kudo pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

He sat down on a chair next to the bed and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Hey, Sakurai... Sister, are those really your former classmates?"

Wow, "Sakurai" has finally evolved!

Koizumi nodded: "Yes, they are my former classmates in the police academy. What's wrong?"

"They are so unfriendly! They don't answer anything I ask and they just say they don't know anything!"

Ha, I guessed it!

I was wondering how this brat, who loves cases so much, could be taken out for so long and not come back. It turns out he was thinking about this.

Koizumi smiled with relief: "Oh, you want to be a policeman? If you have anything you want to know, why don't you just ask me directly?"

Suzuki Sonoko pulled her hand: "Sister Sakurai, ignore him!"

As she spoke, she opened her backpack and took out a card and handed it to me: "I came here in a hurry today and didn't have time to prepare a gift. I wish you a speedy recovery!"

Koizumi took it with a smile: "Thank you, Xiao Yuanzi."

Xiaolan took out a big red apple from her schoolbag: "This is my apple, you can eat it. I will bring a bouquet of flowers to see you next time! I wish you a speedy recovery!"

"Okay, thank you, Xiaolan."

Then, Koizumi turned to Kudo Shinichi on the other side and looked at him with a smile.

Little Kudo finally reacted: "Eh? I...I didn't bring anything."

Koizumi smiled and said, "It's okay, then I'll give you a gift. Come, get me a pen."

Then, a new line of English appeared in Kudo Shinichi's notebook: TSBL293 = Tokyo Shinkansen B Luggage293 (Tokyo Shinkansen B Luggage Locker 293).

Kudo Shinichi stared at the new ink handwriting, his face gradually turned red, and he shouted angrily at Koizumi: "You, why did you tell me the answer! I didn't ask you!"

Koizumi smiled maliciously and said, "To prove my accusation that I am bullying you."

Little Kudo turned his head away in annoyance.

Koizumi: "Well, listen carefully. The new question is..."

Little Kudo immediately turned back and looked at her expectantly.

"…The new question is, what was in luggage locker No. 293?"
