Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

When he saw Koizumi coming, Kogoro Mori's eyes showed hope. He had just witnessed this person's abilities with his own eyes in the Beika Central Hospital.

"How's it going, brother Mori, any news?" asked Inspector Megure.

Kogoro Mori shook his head in disappointment, then turned his gaze to Koizumi.

Koizumi pointed to the two cats squatting at his feet and said, "If you don't mind, I will conduct the investigation with my two assistants."

Maori Kogoro's eyes lit up: "I knew your cat must be special! As long as we can find clues about Eri, anything is fine!"

After getting the authorization, Koizumi lowered his head and said to the two cat brothers: "Ares, Sheriff, conduct a comprehensive search of this house to see if there is anything suspicious."

【receive! 】

The two cats responded and went their separate ways.

Ignoring Officer Megure's stunned expression, Koizumi turned around and began searching the entrance, asking, "Officer Maori, didn't you notice anything unusual before you left this morning?"

"No, there was nothing unusual today until I left."

"Didn't you see anything different outside when you went out?"

"No..." Maori Kogoro suddenly stopped, frowned and thought carefully for a while, then said hesitantly, "I saw two middle-aged women who seemed to be preaching around here."

Koizumi frowned: "What kind of clothes are these two people wearing? Are there any obvious characteristics?"

"There was nothing special about her. She looked like an ordinary middle-aged lady. She had a silver cross around her neck and was holding a brochure in her hand. She looked very kind."

Megure Jusan also said: "I have heard that there are indeed Catholic believers who often visit every household to preach in this area. Is there any problem with this?"

"Meow! (I found this thing under the sofa!)"

The sheriff came running back, placed a pamphlet at Koizumi's feet and called out.

Xiaoquan touched its cat head and said: "Well done!"

The cow cat proudly ran away with its tail up: [Ares, if you don't find it again, you will lose! ]

The tabby cat that was wandering in the kitchen shouted: [Who would lose to you? I also have a major discovery here! ]

Koizumi pretended to rummage through his pockets, but in fact he took out the gloves from the space and put them on. He bent down to pick up the booklet, and then went to the kitchen.

In fact, she didn't need the tabby cat to remind her. As soon as she walked into the kitchen, she immediately noticed something was wrong.

The tabby cat stood by the sink and turned to Koizumi and said, "The smell here is different from the kitchen in the base. It's disgusting! I leave it to you. I feel like vomiting!"

After saying that, he jumped out of the cupboard and ran away.

This smell that makes cats sick is bleach!

Koizumi looked at the clean sink, opened the drawer and took a look, picked out a kitchen knife, brought it to his nose and smelled it carefully, and sure enough, it had the same smell of bleach.

Megure Jusan and Maori Kogoro followed behind her, watching her interaction with the cat, and were very confused: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Koizumi: "Officer Maori, do you use bleach for daily cleaning at home?"

Maori Kogoro was stuck: "Ah, this... is it big, probably, not?"

Well, this is a man who doesn't do housework at all, so it's useless to ask.

Koizumi rolled his eyes at him and put the kitchen knife in his hand on the counter. "This knife and the sink both smell like bleach. Some ingredients in bleach can effectively break down hemoglobin and remove blood stains more effectively. As a criminal police officer, you should understand this, right?"

Kogoro Mouri's pupils suddenly shrank and his eyes turned red in an instant.

Officer Megure was also shocked: "Sakurai, don't joke!"

Koizumi angrily said, "I would joke about something like this?!"

She threw the booklet in her hand into the hands of Inspector Megure: "Hurry up and have someone check on the two middle-aged missionary women. They are serious suspects."

The two men in front of her obviously couldn't follow her train of thought, and asked in confusion: "Why is this? What's your reason?"

Koizumi sighed helplessly: "Who would come out to preach early in the morning when everyone is rushing to work?"

The two of them suddenly realized.

Kogoro Mouri immediately took the brochure and left to investigate the clue himself.

Koizumi continued her search, but neither she nor the two cats found anything more. The house was too clean, so clean that it was a little abnormal.

According to Kogoro Mori, it was less than two hours from the time he left home to the time he discovered that there was something wrong with Kisaki Eri.

Being able to complete the operation and clean up the scene in such a short time must have been a planned and premeditated crime. Moreover, the speed and proficiency of this cleanup were not something that could be achieved by a casual criminal, but more like a professional.

Koizumi held her chin and thought intently. Suddenly, a not-so-good idea popped into her mind.

If Kogoro Mori said that the two middle-aged women he met were the organization's cleaners, wouldn't it make sense that such people would be good at cleaning but not too eye-catching?

The potion that made Miyano Akemi unconscious, the email from Rum...

Could it be that Rum thought she really wanted to break with the organization, and was trying to threaten her by taking Eri Kisaki as a hostage?

"Ares, Sheriff. Let's go out and look around to see if there are any other clues around."

Koizumi shouted loudly and walked outside.

Inspector Megure was talking to his men and did not say anything after hearing this, allowing Koizumi to act freely.

After walking out of the Mori residence, Koizumi saw his pseudo-assistant, Kentaro Nekozuka, surrounded by a group of unfriendly policemen. He hurried over and pushed through the crowd: "What's going on?"

A police officer who knew her immediately said, "Ms. Sakurai, be careful! We suspect this guy is dangerous!"

Seeing Koizumi coming back, Nekozuka Kentaro's expression, which was like that of Acala, finally changed a little. He nodded to her and said, "You're back, boss."

"Eh?!"

The surrounding policemen were all shocked and stared at the two people in amazement.

Koizumi was speechless and could only explain to them: "This is my detective assistant."

As he spoke, he picked up the tabby cat and the cow cat at his feet and stuffed them into Nekozuka Kentaro's arms: "Ares, Sheriff, please help me take care of this guy, I will be back soon."

Kentaro Nekatsuka subconsciously took the two cats. He thought Koizumi asked him to look after the cats, but he didn't expect that when he heard her ask the cats to look at him, his poker face finally showed a crack.

Ares jumped onto Nekozuka Kentaro's shoulders: [Wow, this guy's shoulders are so broad, so comfortable! The boss is good in everything, but she's too small, I can't stand on her shoulders. ]

The cow cat rolled over in Mao Zuka's arms, brushing a layer of fine cat hair on his chest, and echoed: "That's right! This guy's hands are so big and thick."

After the two pendants on his body used as a cat climbing frame, the murderer-like temperament of Nekozuka, the muscular tough guy, Kentaro, immediately softened and added a touch of humor.

The surrounding police looked at each other and dispersed in silence.

Koizumi walked away from the crowd, took out his cell phone and tried to call Gin.
