Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Just a few days after Eri Kisaki was rescued after being kidnapped because of Koizumi, Eri Kisaki was kidnapped by criminals again.

The incident happened on the day Koizumi was discharged from the hospital. Eri Kisaki took Xiaolan to the police station to find Kogoro Mouri, but they encountered a fugitive murderer in the police station.

While the police were taking a statement, this man attacked the police officer and stole his gun under the pretext of going to the bathroom. While escaping, he happened to run into Eri Kisaki who was with Xiaolan.

The murderer threatened Eri Kisaki's life and asked Kogoro Maori to prepare a car for him to leave, but Kogoro Maori did not follow his request and decisively shot Eri Kisaki in the thigh and injured her. The criminal was disgusted that the injured Eri Kisaki would become a burden to him, so he abandoned her and fled. After he had no scruples, Kogoro Maori knocked him down.

Kisaki Eri sighed: "Later, because his superiors accused Kogoro of violating the regulations prohibiting shooting at hostages, he took the initiative to resign."

Koizumi could hear that there was a hint of self-blame in Kisaki Eri's tone at this moment.

However, if Maori Kogoro wanted to explain it clearly, there was still room for reversal. After all, they were all policemen, so who could not understand the truth? It was just that he didn't want to do it anymore, and happened to use this incident as an excuse to resign.

Koizumi glanced at Kogoro Mori and saw that there was no regret on his face, which confirmed his guess.

I just wonder if Eri Kisaki knows what Kogoro Mori is thinking?

So she said, "Actually, this is pretty good. Being a police officer is such a hard and dangerous job, so why not do it? Sister Yingli, didn't you complain about his working hours a long time ago? This way, I can spend more time with Xiaolan."

Hibiki Eri nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. For so many years, I haven't even had time for a normal vacation. I work overtime every day. My body..."

"Cough!" Kogoro Mouri suddenly coughed loudly.

Kisaki Eri suddenly changed the subject and sneered, "...Not only is his health broken, but he also completely ignores his family! Sometimes I wonder if he married me or the police station!"

The two of them glared at each other and snorted, turning their heads away in disgust, with angry expressions on their faces.

Koizumi's mouth twitched: "...I now reasonably suspect that you are just here to mock me."

"Eh?" Fei Yingli turned around in surprise, "How could it be!"

Koizumi: "Because I'm still single, it's convenient for you to show your affection, right?"

"Eh?!" The two people pointed at each other and shouted in unison, "Showing affection? What are you talking about! There is no such thing as affection between me and this person!"

Koizumi applauded: "Wow, what a good chemistry."

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Both of them turned their heads away at the same time.

Maori Kogoro shouted: "Please, don't imitate me anymore!"

Hibiki Eri: "I'm the one saying this to you! You're obviously imitating me!"

Koizumi stood up and walked to the door. She opened the door and dragged in Mao Lilan who was standing outside and eavesdropping.

She ignored Xiaolan's struggle and forcefully dragged her to the sofa, pointing at the two adults and said, "Lan-chan, you are also angry because of their attitude, right? They are obviously in sync with each other and care about each other's every move, but you still insist on denying it. Come on, let me tell you, your parents' shameless behavior is called 'spreading dog food', which is very immoral, remember not to learn it!"

"Huh?!" The sad expression on Xiaolan's face disappeared, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Xiaoquan ignored the two equally stunned adults and continued to say to Xiaolan: "Do you know why your father shot your mother? Because as long as your mother is injured and has difficulty moving, she will become a burden to the criminals, and the criminals will give up your mother as a hostage, so that she will be safe. You see, although your father knew that this was against the rules, he still did it decisively. He would rather give up his future as a policeman to do this, all for the sake of your mother's safety."

Xiaolan's eyes widened: "Oh, so that's how it is? Isn't it because Dad's shooting skills are not good?"

Koizumi glared, "Bad shooting? How is that possible! Your dad is a legend in the police academy, no one can break his shooting record. You say he's a bad shooter? Are you kidding me! So, do you think he loves your mom so much that he would do this?"

Xiaolan looked at Kogoro Mouri who looked embarrassed and nodded hesitantly.

"Then come and see your mother. You don't understand the significance of that shot because you are young, but your mother obviously does. This can be seen from her attitude of not making a fuss or complaining after she was shot. She knew that your father shot himself to save her, so not only did she not blame her, she actually felt a little guilty. You see, even when your father lost his job, she didn't blame him for it, right?"

Xiaolan looked at the embarrassed Kisaki Eri and nodded hesitantly.

"So why are they fighting?"

Koizumi spread his hands and said, "They have already confessed it themselves. It's because your father dislikes the food your mother cooks."

She looked up at the two adults: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Both of them had an expression as if they wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. They looked at each other, snorted, and turned their heads away.

Koizumi pointed at the two people and said, "See, Ran-chan? This kind of behavior is called a dead tsundere, saying one thing and thinking another, and being stubborn. In fact, they didn't take the quarrel too seriously, they were just joking. In the end, only you, a bystander, took it seriously. Oh, how pitiful. So you know why I said they were showing off their affection, right?"

Maori Kogoro: "No way! Who wants to follow this old woman..."

Kisaki Eri: "No way! Who would follow this drunkard..."

Koizumi laughed and clapped again, instigating, "Wow, you two are speaking in unison again, you two are really in sync. Look, Ran-chan, most couples can't do that. It's amazing!"

Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki blushed and turned their heads away awkwardly.

Mao Lilan stared at them blankly, and suddenly burst into tears: "I hate you! I hate you the most! Wa——"

Her voice was full of anger, and there was no trace of sadness at all.

Koizumi smiled with satisfaction, stood up and walked aside.

Kisaki Eri was frightened by the way Mouri Ran cried. She glared at Koizumi with a reproachful look and hurried forward to pull Xiaolan.

Mao Lilan shook off her hand and shouted, "Hate you! I hate you the most! Wow - you, hiccup, you two are such tsunderes!"

Then she ran out crying.

"Xiao Lan!" Kisaragi hurriedly chased after her.

Hehe, children have a good ability to learn, and they can put what they have learned into practice so quickly. Koizumi waved to them from behind with a smile: "Goodbye, I won't see you off."

Then, she turned to look at the restless Maori Kogoro and said, "Uncle Maori, why don't you give her a try? If you don't make her happy, Xiaolan will really resent you."

"Ahem!" Kogoro Mouri deliberately frowned, stood up with an extremely embarrassed expression, and prepared to slip away down the stairs.

"Ah, one more thing."

Kogoro Maori stopped and turned to look at her.

Koizumi leaned against the door frame and smiled at Maori Kogoro: "Have you ever considered becoming my colleague, Uncle Maori?"

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro raised his eyebrows. "What did you say? I told you a long time ago..."

Koizumi: "Because the skills of a police officer are really suitable for being a detective."

So you were talking about this colleague?

Maori Kogoro's eyes flickered: "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your business?"

Koizumi spread his hands and said, "It would be great if you could take over the commissions for the investigation of infidelity that I have. I am really not interested in such commissions. On the other hand, if you have any difficult matters, you can also pass them on to me. What do you think?"

Kogoro Mori thought about it for a moment, but he did not answer immediately. He just nodded to her, then took big strides and went after his wife and children.

She had already told the organization that Kisaki Eri was included in her defense area, so there was no way she could completely distance herself from them as Maori Kogoro wanted. In that case, there was no need to make the relationship too awkward.

Strategic cooperation is the best gesture she can make. I hope Uncle Maori can understand.

As for whether Kisaki Eri really noticed it?

Even if they knew, what would it matter? It would just be another Kamimatsu Hisao.
