Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

After signing more than a dozen unequal treaties and finally getting rid of the little devil Koizumi, Rum locked himself up in the study of the Masuyama family.

Although the negotiation process with Melo was unpleasant, it made him feel relieved.

Living a smooth life for too long will really make people lose their sense of crisis.

Although Mello's words were harsh, they did make sense.

Rum felt a little annoyed. He thought he was a smart man, but he never thought that there would be a day when he would be educated as a fool.

It was obvious that the old man was dying and would not live for many days. Could he have any backup plan? Weren't Gin and Vermouth his last counterattack?

Humph, no matter what cards you have, when you’re done playing them, it’ll be time for me to change the dynasty!

Since you're planning on playing, I'm going to play a game with you guys seriously and see what you guys are planning to do.

With Melo as my support, I don't believe that I can't find your weak spot!

Ha, it’s been a long time since I felt this kind of passion!

Rum poured himself a glass of wine, leaned back on the sofa, and rubbed his temples.

His movements suddenly stopped, and he sat up straight, his eyes flashing with calculation.

At Fengting, he did not touch Koizumi's coin, but Gin did! Koizumi even hit him on the forehead with a coin!

Could it be that Gin's smooth sailing during this period is all due to...

Rum stood up with gritted teeth and walked around the room anxiously.

He was sure that Gin picked up the coin, and then what? What did he do with it? Is the coin still there?

------

Touching the check in his arms, Koizumi's mood exploded, better than ever before, and it was the first time he felt so good since he traveled through time!

According to the new agreement, starting from January of the new year, she can get 100 million yen from Rum every month.

One hundred million yen is equal to 67 US dollars, which is equal to 500 million RMB, every month!

Of course, in order to conceal the source of funds, the money will be deposited into her secret account under different names and account numbers each time in the future.

The check for 100 million in her arms now is Rum's sincerity in expressing his willingness to cooperate honestly, and it is also the reward for her "tipping off" this time.

For people like Rum and Kenzo Masuyama, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket, but for her, it is a huge victory!

She no longer has to worry about money! She can spend it however she wants and buy whatever she wants! She wants to buy the best cat food and the best canned food for her cat agents! She wants to build her own arsenal! She wants to open cat cafes all over Tokyo and continue to expand the cat team!

Spend money! Spend as much money as you can!

Koizumi managed to maintain his calm and indifferent personality until he was a thousand steps away, then he found a deserted place, turned into a cat, and ran towards the office.

Why take a taxi? Only running can calm her down now.

However, after running for half an hour, Koizumi began to feel tired, her frenzy finally began to subside, her surging adrenaline gradually subsided, and her mind finally calmed down again.

Tsk, she really has lost her mind.

Why would I use my legs to get such a long way when I can take a car? If I really run back in the form of a cat, it might be late at night when I get home. This is insane.

So she decisively gave up halfway, hailed a taxi, and took a taxi home. Anyway, she had money now, so she didn't feel bad!

…is impossible.

After getting off the taxi, Koizumi's mind was filled with the more than 10,000 yen that had just flown out of her pocket. She felt so heartbroken.

Even if I took a taxi, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening when I returned to the office.

Koizumi walked up the stairs yawning, then froze in the middle of the yawn.

This taste is...

She saw a person curled up at the door of the cat cafe, and her four little cat brothers were all snuggling around this person to keep him company.

Seeing Xiaoquan coming back, the cow cat raised his head and called softly: [Boss, it’s Xiaolan. ]

"Well, I see."

But the question is, it’s so late, why is Xiaolan here?

And isn't today the day of the Kudo family Christmas party? She should be with Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mori.

Koizumi looked around but found no trace of the two men.

Could it be that this child ran here by himself?

Koizumi squatted down beside her and saw that the child was curled up and asleep, with tear marks all over her little face.

Koizumi: ...

Ah, could it be that he ran away from home?

You might catch a cold if you sleep outside in this cold weather.

Koizumi picked her up.

Fourth graders are not small, and Xiaoquan felt a little tired. Fortunately, she has been practicing well so that she doesn't drop people on the ground.

Xiaolan was probably really tired of crying, and even though Koizumi's movements were not gentle, she didn't wake up. She was put on the bed in the bedroom, and she just turned over and continued to sleep.

Koizumi breathed a sigh of relief and said to the four cats following him, "You guys stay here with her tonight. If anything happens, come and let me know, okay?"

The big orange cat had already consciously crawled into Xiaolan's arms and used her as a pillow. The tabby cat and the cow cat also agreed and found an empty spot at the end of the bed and lay down.

The little black cat turned around to look, then jumped into Koizumi's arms: "It's OK if they watch over me. I want to be with you."

Xiaoquan smiled and kissed it on the head: "Okay."

The little black cat hugged her neck: [Don't you want to change her clothes and give her a bath? Don't you always do this before going to bed? ]

Koizumi: ...

I’m really sorry that the word “gentle” is not part of my personality.

She stroked the satin-like fur of the little black cat and laughed, "Hei-chan, do you want to take a shower? Let's do it together."

[No! ... Well, not today! Not tomorrow either! ]

"Haha, okay, okay. I'll wash it when the weather gets warmer."

Koizumi carried the little black cat to the reception room and took out his cell phone and turned it on.

In order to have a good holiday, she has not turned on her mobile phone for the past two days to avoid being harassed by the organization and the public security.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone was turned on, a series of notification sounds rang out.

Gin was indeed very tactful. After she announced that she wanted to take a break, she really didn't send any messages.

There were two emails from the Public Security Bureau. First, they asked her to report the process of obtaining the code name and leave the information for future reference. Later, they sent another email to explain the Public Security Bureau's considerations on the matter of Kazami Yuya, hoping that she could understand.

I understand you, you leg hair! This is not a complete lack of reflection!

Koizumi cursed in his heart, temporarily blacklisted the contact information of the senior management, and deleted the two emails.

The rest is all news about Eri Kisaki.

Koizumi called her and she answered immediately.

"Sakurai, Xiaolan..."

"Here I am."

Koizumi hurriedly told her that he had just picked up a baby at his doorstep.

With the experience from last time, Kisaki Eri was much calmer this time.

After Xiaoquan finished speaking, she was silent for a while and then said, "Let Xiaolan stay at your place for one night. I will pick her up tomorrow."

Before Koizumi could say anything, he heard Maori Kogoro beside him shout, "What? No! I'll go get Xiaolan back now!"

"Stop right there! If you dare to leave this room, I will divorce you!"

"……What did you say!"

Hibiki Eri's voice sounded unusually calm: "It's a good opportunity to solve our problem while Xiaolan is away."

Koizumi swallowed his saliva involuntarily: "Ying, Yingli sister, calm down and talk nicely. Um, how about you guys chat first, I'll take a taxi to send Xiaolan back now."

"No, let Xiaolan stay at your place for one night, and I'll pick her up tomorrow."

"Well, how about I send her to Kudo or Sonoko..."

"I'll live at your place!" Kisaki Eri said loudly in an extremely firm voice.

The tone of her voice made me feel like Hibari knew something.

Koizumi: "...Okay, see you tomorrow then."

Alas, can't she just have a peaceful and happy night...

Koizumi sighed as he took out a stack of stationery from the drawer.

[You should know a lot about bars? Tell me about it, Mr. Sakurai.]
