Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi tried to call Gin.

She originally thought that after what happened with Tequila, this person might refuse to answer her call, or answer her call with murderous intent, but she never expected that a third option would arise that was completely beyond her expectations.

Gin's voice sounded lazy and relaxed, even with a hint of joy, and he said straight to the point: "Not bad for reaction speed."

Hearing him say this, Koizumi was certain that her speculation was most likely correct. So she skipped a series of reasoning processes and asked directly: "...Where is the person?"

"Why don't you answer me first? What was stored in luggage locker No. 293?"

Koizumi: ...

Although I did have the intention of teasing you when I asked this question, are you really walking into trouble? And isn't this the wrong time?

"What else could it be? Luggage. If the luggage locker doesn't store luggage, then what about corpses?"

Gin:......

Koizumi: "Where is the person?"

"Luggage locker."

Gin said and ended the call immediately.

Koizumi: ...

Tsk, I knew it! Gin is such a petty person!

She frowned and stared at her phone for a long time, then suddenly took out Miyano Akemi's phone and looked at the email from Rum...

Koizumi turned around and walked back to the car: "Aris, Chief, go back to the office by yourselves."

[Eh? You found the person? I want to fight too!]

[That’s right, don’t even think about abandoning us! ]

Koizumi was silent for a moment: "Scouts are forbidden to participate in combat. This is the rule you set for yourselves."

The two cats choked.

This was a rule they set specifically to protect the little black cat, but they never expected that it would be used on themselves one day.

Koizumi reached out and took the two cats off the cat mound and put them on the ground: "Go back and keep an eye on Miyano Akemi for me. If someone wants to take her away, at least I want to know where she is being taken."

With a new task, the two cats left satisfied.

[No problem! Leave it to the God of War Ares and I'll make sure it's done! ]

[The premise is that you don’t get attracted by the cat teaser. ]

[…Last time it was an accident! An accident!]

Xiaoquan ignored the two cats, opened the passenger door and got in: "Let's go."

Even though he had watched the weird scene of Koizumi talking to the two cats, Nekozuka still didn't ask anything. He opened the driver's door without saying anything: "Okay, boss."

Koizumi: ...

"Why do you keep calling me boss? Shouldn't your boss be Kamimatsu Hisao?"

"Boss Shangsong said that as long as you agree, you will be my boss from now on."

"Agree? When will I…"

Suddenly I remembered what I said casually at the door of the office.

...fuck?

Koizumi swallowed his saliva and said, "Wait, what exactly is the little gift that Kamimatsu Hisao said he would give me?"

Kentaro Nekozuka turned his head to look at her, reached into his pocket, pulled out a super small firework cannon, and pulled it towards his head.

With a "bang", colored ribbons and papers sprayed all over his head.

Then the man said expressionlessly: "Clang clang."

Koizumi:……………………

After a long and strange silence, Koizumi slapped himself on the forehead: "Who taught you to do this?"

"Boss Kamimatsu, he said it's cuter this way."

Koizumi barely suppressed his grumbling spirit: "...So, the so-called gift is a living person like you?"

"Yes, boss."

What the hell is this Christmas gift! Is there a Christmas gift for a living person?! Did I agree to receive it?!

Xiaoquan felt the veins on her forehead throbbing. She pressed her temples hard and let out a long breath: "I don't have time to talk about this now. I'll talk to you later. Now let's go..."

The back door of the car was suddenly opened and Kogoro Mouri got in.

Koizumi turned to look at him: "Officer Maori? What's going on?"

Maori Kogoro stared at her and said in a positive tone: "You already know where Eri is, right? Take me with you."

Koizumi stared at him for a while and said, "...I will bring the person back to you safely."

Maori Kogoro interrupted her loudly without hesitation: "Take me with you!"

When Koizumi was still trying to persuade the man to retreat, he heard Maori Kogoro say, "I know who you are going to deal with. But Eri's life is in danger now. If I run away now, would I still be considered a human being?!"

Koizumi's heart was shocked.

She stared at Maori Kogoro in silence for another three seconds, then looked away and said, "Nekozuka, let's go to the warehouse area in the southern suburbs."

"Okay, boss."

------

The car was parked outside an old warehouse area. Although it looked dirty and messy, there were still many vehicles and people coming and going, and it looked very lively.

Koizumi was not in a hurry to get out of the car. She was looking around the area when she heard the sound of a gun bolt being pulled from the back seat of the car. She turned around and saw Maori Kogoro checking his gun.

Koizumi silently took out the M60 he carried with him and handed it to Nekozuka next to him.

The M60, which was a bit big in Koizumi's hand, was like a child's toy in this man's hand. Nekatsuka's fingers were almost too thick to fit into the trigger guard.

"Will it work?"

"meeting."

"Okay, I'll give this one to you first."

Mao Zuka turned his head and looked at her, then handed the gun back: "I'm still good at fighting."

You’re welcome.

With your physique, even if you don't have any fighting skills, you can kill someone with one punch.

Koizumi showed him Miyano Akemi's Browning: "Take it with you. I may need it."

Nekozuka turned around and put the gun away silently.

"Also, don't follow me later. Move with Officer Maori."

Maori Kogoro looked up when he heard this: "You're not coming with us?"

Koizumi: "I'm fast, so it's inconvenient for me to go with you. I'll go alone."

Maori Kogoro recalled the agility and speed that Koizumi had shown during the bombing, and nodded, "Okay."

"Also, Nekozuka, if you really run into danger, just do it. I'll take responsibility for any problems that arise."

"Okay, boss."

Maori Kogoro:……

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"Then let's go."

------

The black cat moved quickly amidst the noise and bustling crowd.

Koizumi took a short detour, and when he was completely out of the sight of the two men, he quickly rushed to his destination in the form of a cat.

The specific address was actually mentioned in Rum's email, but Koizumi deliberately did not tell Kogoro Mori.

She still wanted to solve this troublesome matter by herself before Maori Kogoro came to find her. After all, this matter was caused by her, and both Kisaki Eri and Maori Kogoro suffered an unprovoked disaster. Koizumi didn't want to involve them in the main task at all.

While trying hard to identify the sounds around her, she used the skills of the God of Food to try to identify the special scent of Kisaragi among the various complex smells.

The scent of Eri Kisaki is very unique, light and fragrant, a scent that can relax people's nerves and make them happy physically and mentally. Koizumi didn't know what this scent was for a long time, until one day she accidentally came across a blooming iron tree.

As she went deeper, there were fewer and fewer ordinary people around. When she reached the edge of Area G, Koizumi finally caught a glimpse of the smell lingering in the air.

found it!
