Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"So and so, so and so, do you understand what I am saying?"

Nekozuka nodded calmly: "The Black Organization is our enemy. You were forced to join their reserve member and are trying to instigate the second-in-command of the organization to rebel."

"That's it. You are now my detective assistant, and you will inevitably have to deal with them in the future. You must pay attention to safety. If anything special happens while I'm away, remember to notify me in time and we can discuss countermeasures together."

"Okay, boss."

"Since Boss Shangsong said you are trustworthy, I will tell you the truth. But please keep these things confidential and don't tell anyone without my permission!"

"Okay, boss."

"Then do you have any questions?"

Nekozuka Kentaro said bluntly: "Boss Uematsu said you are an undercover agent for the police."

Koizumi: ...

Kamimatsu Hisao, this old fox!

"Don't say anything like that again. Keep it confidential."

"Okay, boss."

Koizumi felt that she was certain that Kentaro Nekatsuka must be the special reward given to her by the system.

Of course, Nekozuka definitely didn't appear out of thin air, and she didn't know which little butterfly the system had made flutter its wings to make Uematsu Hisao send this person to her. She and Uematsu had only met once, and although they got along well, they were definitely not so open with each other that they could ask for nothing in return...

Oh, no. He still wants something in return, and the price is quite high...

Koizumi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "... Nekozuka, do you really treat me as your boss? Are you just forcing me?"

Nekozuka nodded without hesitation and stared at Koizumi with his fierce triangular eyes: "I like cats."

Koizumi: ...? !

I feel like this topic is no longer worth discussing...

Ahhh! After staying in the world of Detective Conan for too long, she is almost turning into a fantasy freak!

Koizumi coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Okay, since you don't feel forced, that's fine. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Nekozuka Kentaro thought for a moment and then continued, "What should we do with the woman downstairs?"

Koizumi withdrew his thoughts, picked up the ice cola beside him to moisten his throat, and continued: "This is exactly what I am going to tell you next."

"That woman's name is Miyano Akemi. She was placed in the office by the organization...or rather, she was placed next to me as a surveillance camera."

Mao Zuka suddenly said: "It's troublesome, just kill it."

Koizumi glared, jumped up and slapped him on the head, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Are you crazy? Wake up! Although being in an organization does involve doing a lot of disgusting things, don't really turn yourself into a murderer!"

Although he was slapped by her, Nekozuka seemed to be unaware of it. Instead, Koizumi rubbed his hand which was a little painful and said, "I left you in the store for one reason because I was afraid that you would go out and cause trouble. Another reason was that I asked you to protect Miyano Akemi."

Nekozuka asked in confusion: "Protect her? Why?"

Koizumi sighed, "Why did Boss Kamimatsu save you? That's why I saved her. And I have reasons to do so..."

Nekozuka lowered his eyes slightly and stopped talking.

"Anyway, until the dust settles on my side, both of you stay in the office. Keep an eye on this woman and don't let her run around. But if she has to go out, you don't have to stop her, just follow her and don't let her fall into the hands of those bastards in the organization. Pay special attention to the man you fought with, and don't let him take Miyano Akemi away. If there's anything you can't handle, call me immediately."

"Okay, boss."

After Nekozuka left the office, Koizumi collapsed on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

Not long after I ended the call with Rum that day, Inspector Megure arrived with the First Investigation Division.

Koizumi blamed the entire incident on an unfounded murderer and managed to get away with it.

After she regained consciousness, Kisaki Eri recounted the entire process of how she was attacked, threatened with a knife, and then given an anesthetic injection, which almost completely matched Koizumi's reasoning at the Mori family. As a result, this incident actually helped Koizumi's reputation in the Metropolitan Police Department rise to a higher level.

As for Miyano Akemi, Koizumi did not make things difficult for her. Not only did he let her continue to be responsible for the management of the cat cafe, he also returned the cell phone, car keys and Browning that he had taken from her. He only asked her to live in the office temporarily and be supervised and not to go out at will.

Miyano Akemi was a smart person after all. She quickly understood Koizumi's idea of ​​separating her from the organization, and cooperated very well by settling down in the guest room on the second floor without raising any objections.

In the following days, Koizumi quietly waited for the incident of her "killing Rum" to slowly ferment.

Nearly another week passed and there was still no news from the organization, but she received a call from Hibiki Eri, inviting her to her home for a simple meal.

Kisaki Eri's meal!

This is just like Kudo Shinichi's singing voice, it must not be missed!

Koizumi agreed happily and went to the Mori family with gifts at the agreed time.

------

It was still early before the agreed time, so Koizumi was not in a hurry and was enjoying this rare leisure time.

When passing by a small park on the street, Koizumi suddenly heard a cat's meow.

[Black Cat Boss! Over here, over here!]

Koizumi turned around and saw a stray cat, whom she had no impression of, standing in the small park and calling to her.

【Come here, this way! 】

Koizumi walked over with some confusion, and then smelled a faint orchid fragrance.

Xiaolan?

Koizumi hurriedly quickened his pace and, guided by the stray cat, found Mao Li Ran squatting alone under a tree. The child was still wearing her school uniform and carrying a schoolbag.

Koizumi walked over and touched her head: "Xiaolan?"

Mao Lilan looked up, with tears in her eyes.

Koizumi was startled, and quickly squatted down beside her and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The first thought that flashed through her mind was, could it be that the organization wanted to kidnap Xiaolan again? !

She quickly looked around, but didn't see any suspicious people, not even a single person.

"Sister Sakurai." As soon as she saw the acquaintance, Mao Lilan's tears couldn't stop falling. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and sobbed.

Xiaoquan frantically took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and stuffed them into her hands: "Be good, don't cry. Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll beat him up for you!"

An idea suddenly occurred to her mind: "Is it that little bastard Kudo Shinichi?"

Koizumi stood up and pretended to leave: "I'm going to beat him up right now!"

"No, no!" Mao Lilan hurriedly pulled her back, "It's not Shinichi."

Koizumi squatted down again and looked at her: "What's going on? Can you tell me?"

Mao Lilan lowered her head and whispered softly, "It's mom and dad..."

"Huh?" Koizumi was surprised.

"Eri-sister and Officer Maori? What's going on?"

Mao Lilan said aggrievedly: "They have been arguing recently. When I came home from school today, I saw them still arguing. Mom said she wanted to separate from Dad."

Koizumi: "...and then you ran out without saying hello?"

Mao Lilan lowered her head and said "hmm" softly.

Mihua Primary School ends school at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it is already past five o'clock.

Having just experienced a kidnapping case, Eri Kisaki must still be in a state of mental stress. Now that Xiaolan has disappeared for no reason, she must be going crazy with worry.

Koizumi sighed helplessly, took out his cell phone and dialed Kisaki Eri's number.

As soon as the call was connected, the anxious voice of Eri Kisaki came from the other end: "Sakurai, Xiaolan is missing!"

Koizumi interrupted her hastily: "Sister Yingli, Xiaolan is here!"

Kisaki Eri's voice paused.

"We're in the small park near your house. Don't worry, I'll take her back right away."

------

After hearing the reason why Mouri Ran left home without permission, Kisaki Eri and Mouri Kogoro both fell silent.

Koizumi sighed secretly, thinking that the dinner she had agreed to was out of the question. But after all, this was someone else's family affair, and she couldn't interfere, so she had to put down the cake she had brought and prepared to leave. But before she could say goodbye, Maori Kogoro said, "Eri, you agreed to treat someone to a meal, but you haven't gone to buy food yet?"

Seeing that Kisaki Eri looked embarrassed, Koizumi said hastily, "Let's meet some other time. I received an invitation to the Kudo family's Christmas party. I think you guys will go too, right? Let's meet again on that day."

Unexpectedly, Maori Kogoro insisted, "No, since we agreed to treat you today, we have to eat today. Eri, take Xiaolan to buy groceries now, it doesn't matter if it's late."

Koizumi: ...

Here it comes, Kogoro Mouri requests a secret call.
