Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Just as Dr. Agasa was helping her to attract hatred, Koizumi was wearing a low-key black waiter uniform, carrying a tray full of champagne and moving smoothly among the people at the banquet.

On Christmas Eve, Rum sent her an invitation to attend the Christmas party at the home of car tycoon Kenzo Masuyama.

Kenzo Masuyama, isn't this Pisco, the member of the organization who once appeared in the main storyline and was later killed by Gin?

Is Rum planning to secretly invite her over for a secret discussion at the cocktail party?

Although she was invited as a detective, Koizumi did not intend to attend in such a high profile. She went to the Masuyama family in advance to apply for a position as a waiter at the cocktail party, and stood up the Kudo family.

Anyway, Kogoro Mori doesn't like her now, so there's no need for her to be so shameless as to get close to him.

Everyone has the right to choose how to live. She cannot comment on Kogoro Mori's choice, nor does she want to comment.

What may be poison to you may be honey to others; there will always be someone who enjoys it.

And to be honest, no matter what your choice is, at least you still have a choice. I really have no choice! I haven't even complained yet, so why should you complain?

Don’t listen, don’t listen, that bastard is chanting sutras!

Because of her memory of Sakurai Izumi's work experience, Koizumi was able to thrive in the huge venue and even received praise from the old housekeeper of the Masuyama family, who gave her a business card and hoped that she would consider a long-term service contract.

Koizumi felt amused.

If she really stayed in the Masuyama family for a long time, Masuyama Kenzo might cry, right?

It must be said that this kind of cocktail party is a great place to get intelligence, especially for someone with extraordinary hearing like her, she could easily get a lot of information.

As he listened, Koizumi suddenly felt a little emotional.

In her original world, everyone laughed at the organization as a water factory, and everyone except Gin was undercover.

But looking at these well-dressed high-ranking officials in front of them, even if they are not members of Rum's faction, they are all inextricably linked to the organization. This is a protective umbrella made of money, power, status, connections, reputation, and interests.

And this is just the power of one faction of Rum.

These people were interwoven into a huge spider web. Not to mention a big and experienced moth like Ethan, even a few fledgling undercover small flies could not break even a spider silk even if they risked their lives, right?

Including herself, although she has achieved some small success, she is still in the stage of struggling to survive.

How to survive? Just work hard to contribute and add bricks and tiles to the organization. Can you still say that Gin is the only one who works hard in the organization? Which undercover dares to say that he is not a brick?

So if you think about it carefully, Rum's strategy against undercover agents over the years is not unreasonable. And when he was in charge of Tokyo affairs, wasn't he always in control?

Alas, the Japanese police actually thought that they could destroy the organization with just a few undercover agents. How ridiculous!

Koizumi walked around the venue for several rounds, feeling a bit full from eating melons. She was just about to find a discreet place to rest when she caught a glimpse of an acquaintance.

Koizumi leaned over, reached out and patted the man's shoulder gently: "Hi, Youbashi."

Yoshiaki Aburashi was startled by her and looked a little terrified.

Koizumi pulled him to the corner and said, "I knew I would run into you here. Come on, come and taste whether my melon is ripe or not."

Youqiao was a little confused at first, but after listening to Koizumi pointing and saying a few words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"And, that guy over there..."

"Cough cough."

Koizumi turned around and saw the housekeeper Masuyama who had been praising her just now standing next to them, staring at her and pretending to cough.

Koizumi: ...

"Ahaha! My dear guest, if you don't have any questions, I will continue to work."

"I have a problem!"

Aburashi Yoshiaki grabbed her, his eyes glowing green: "Hurry up and continue, what next!"

Koizumi shook off his hand without leaving a trace and made an embarrassed expression to the old butler.

The old housekeeper came over with a sullen face and said, "Mr. Youqiao, I need her help with something. Could you please help me?"

Wow, even the butler Masuyama can call out Youqiao's name? How impressive!

Koizumi smiled and waved to Aburashi: "That's it, I'll contact you later."

Then he hurriedly pushed the old housekeeper away from this place of trouble: "I'm not lazy, I'll go to work now!"

Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper called her over, looked at her again with a very strange look, and bowed to her gently: "Miss Sakurai, my master wants to see you."

Oops, time is up and the dress-up game is over.

Koizumi was led into the study on the second floor by the old housekeeper, and she saw two old men sitting inside. One of them was of course Rum, and the other one, who looked kind, should be Kenzo Masuyama himself.

Koizumi smiled and greeted them: "Hi, Mr. Hongu, Mr. Masuyama, good evening."

Masuyama Kenzo looked at her curiously: "Are you Mello?"

Koizumi smiled and said, "Yes, nice to meet you, Pisk."

The two people on the opposite side were stunned. They didn't expect that Koizumi would call out Kenzo Masuyama's code name.

"How did you..." Rum swallowed his words halfway through and changed the subject, "So you already knew."

Koizumi sat down on the sofa opposite them in a very familiar manner, looked at Masuyama Kenzo and said with a smile: "So it's you, the one Gin said he wanted to kill."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the two people opposite changed drastically.

Rum asked hurriedly: "Where did you get this information?"

Koizumi: "Gin said it himself the day I killed your double. After we take care of Rum, he will be the next one."

At that time, Koizumi didn't know who the "he" in Gin's mouth was referring to, but it should be fine to apply it to any of Rum's confidants. At this time, he used it to fool the two people on the opposite side, and it really worked immediately.

Rum and Kenzo Masuyama looked at each other, and both of them knew that what Koizumi said was highly credible.

Because during the period when Rum himself had not yet returned, Kenzo Masuyama was approached by Gin several times, who strongly asked him to cooperate and change sides.

But even if he had heard that Gin was that gentleman's confidant, he was still just a rookie. Masuyama Kenzo would not pay attention to this man's threats, and he handled them all tactfully.

Now it seems that in Gin's opinion, his attitude has already been considered to be against the will of that gentleman and has been categorized as needing to be dealt with?

Kenzo Masuyama was a little disappointed. He was once a well-known figure in the organization. Although he could no longer fight after getting older, he relied on his management ability, which he was best at, to build a kingdom for the organization in the white way. Even if he could not be said to have made great contributions, he should be considered a great hero. But he didn't expect that when he got older, he would...

Could it be that what Gin meant was what that gentleman meant? How could he be so cold and indifferent, without any regard for our old friendship?

Rum sneered and said, "Humph, I don't believe that these rookies can achieve anything."

Koizumi glanced at him and said, "So, Mr. Motomiya, do you know what they are doing?"

Rum said proudly: "Is it necessary to understand? With their current situation of being penniless and without people, they won't be able to achieve anything even if they are given another three years without my support!"

With your arrogance, it's no wonder you lost so badly in the original world line.

Koizumi smiled and said, "Just by looking at today's cocktail party, we can tell that the organization should have some influence in Japan's political and economic circles. After having enough food and drink, what will be the next step? In other words, what is the organization's next development goal?"

"of course……"

Koizumi didn't wait for him to finish his words and continued, "The next question is, who is actually in charge of the organization? Who controls the direction of development?"

Rum seemed to have realized something. He was no longer in a hurry to answer Koizumi's question. He narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think.

"Third question. More money, more power, are you sure that's what the controller needs?"

The two people opposite fell silent.

Koizumi smiled and spread his hands: "Don't you understand? Why are you disliked? Because you stick to the old ways and have no ambition. You have become a stumbling block that hinders the progress of the controller. Now, do you understand how determined that gentleman is to bring you down?"

After a long while, Rum let out a long breath and looked at Koizumi with a strange look: "How old are you? How come you are as clear-headed as an old monster?"

Koizumi: "If you are good at history, you should know that the succession of dynasties in the world is similar. Countries are all like this. It's just an organization. Isn't it true that the same logic can be applied?"

Humph, I didn’t get a high score in the college entrance examination by rote memorization!
