Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi lay on the cabinet for a long time, and his overly excited emotions slowly calmed down.

She was thinking about how to escape from the house later when she heard Vodka say, "Brother, the document has been translated."

Koizumi carefully stretched her head and looked down, and saw Gin taking the documents from Vodka, then looking up at her.

Koizumi was so scared that he quickly retracted his head.

Gin didn't get up to catch the cat, but continued to look at his documents.

It was unknown what Vodka was busy with. After a while of operation, Koizumi heard the sound of the computer starting up.

I clearly didn't see any computer in the room just now, so how could Vodka take out a laptop?

Laptop computers of this era are really expensive, heavy, difficult to use, and extremely power-consuming. The batteries they come with cannot last very long.

No wonder I've never seen Vodka being used outside. It's probably being plugged in and used as a desktop machine now, right?

Gin is looking at documents and Vodka is looking at the computer. If she slips away now, the success rate should be very high?

Just as Koizumi was about to take action, he suddenly heard Vodka say in surprise: "Hey, someone is offering a bounty on Merlot?"

Koizumi was stunned.

Melo? Isn't that her code name? Someone's offering a bounty on her head? What's going on?

Gin became interested: "Go on."

"Someone on the dark web is offering a bounty for Sakurai Izumi's location, and the bounty is quite high."

Vodka clicked the mouse for a while. "I remember the ID that posted the bounty. The tasks he posted before were basically all about finding people or intelligence. He must be a professional intelligence dealer."

"The bounty was posted last night near midnight, and quite a few people have already marked the task as accepted."

Gin asked thoughtfully: "What is the current status of the bounty? Has anyone completed it?"

"Not yet. So far, no one has given any precise clues about his whereabouts."

Gin sneered: "It's not easy to find her. This guy is very good at hiding."

Vodka agreed and sighed, "Yes."

"Don't worry about such trivial matters. Let her handle it herself."

"Okay, big brother."

Vodka responded, and suddenly laughed again: "It's really funny to say that. Melo didn't even realize that the forum she visited daily was a dark web."

Koizumi:!!!

Gin asked, "Did she take on any other missions later?"

"No, I followed her account called Apprentice, but it hasn't appeared in a long time."

"Huh, apprentice...that's hilarious."

The conversation ends.

Koizumi felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this.

Dark web? Never heard of it. It doesn't sound like a website that decent people would go to!

Then Sato Aiko...

No, no, it's impossible. Those guys in the club, including Sato Aiko, are definitely not related to the organization! And there are obviously many ordinary people on that forum.

She had clearly studied the forum carefully and didn't find anything wrong!

And why is there a bounty on her? !

Xiaoquan felt that she couldn't stay here for even a second. She just wanted to go back to the office immediately and study the forum carefully.

If you want to leave, leave now!

Thinking of this, Xiaoquan looked down again. The two people below were busy with their own things and no one paid attention to her. So she immediately jumped to the ground from the other side of the cupboard.

Hearing a "bang" sound, Gin knew that the cat had come down from the cabinet, but he was not in a hurry.

The windows upstairs have been locked, and he is personally guarding downstairs. How could the cat escape?

He looked up at Vodka and found that his younger brother seemed to be unaware of the noise just now.

Sometimes Gin really doubts whether this person has a problem with his ears and can't hear, or is he pretending to be deaf in order to avoid work.

There is really nothing I can do about this unintelligent little brother. Who can blame others for being worse? At least this guy is obedient and has decent work ability. He can be used after some training.

Gin originally thought that he would replace Vodka after Melo got the code name, but he didn't expect that this woman would be valued by that gentleman and a new team would be formed for her.

His plan to subdue and train Melo was completely thwarted, which was a pity. Fortunately, this man did not fall into Rum's hands.

It is not unprecedented in the organization to set up a separate team for a new member, but it is also extremely rare. I really don't know what qualities that gentleman saw in Mello.

Or is this a check and balance technique used by that gentleman?

Hard to say……

The black cat did not return to Gin's sight. Judging from the noise coming from there, the cat seemed to have run into another room to play.

Gin didn't rush to get up, he listened quietly for a while.

After a rustling sound...

"Boom!"

"Click."

After a moment's silence, the sound of scratching on the door was heard again.

Gin smiled.

The cat did something and locked itself in the room.

What a suicidal little guy.

Gin stood up and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

There are two guest rooms on the first floor of the safe house, and the door of the inner room is closed. There are also slight but rhythmic sounds coming from the room.

Gin didn't think much about it. He walked over slowly, pressed the door handle and gently pushed the door open a crack. He quickly slipped in and immediately closed the door to prevent the black cat from escaping.

However, just as the door closed, a small black head popped out from the room outside, and the green cat's eyes were filled with a smile of success.

Koizumi walked out from his hiding place with a swagger and went upstairs in front of Vodka.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Vodka was a little confused.

He thought his elder brother was going to catch the cat, but it turned out that he was going back to his room to sleep?

Gin stood with his back against the door, his eyes scanning the entire room.

There were a few small dents on the bed, probably caused by a cat stepping on it.

There was a little thread loose on the floor-length curtains, apparently a cat had climbed over them.

The chandelier on the ceiling was still swaying from side to side, making a slight rhythmic sound.

If it weren't for the sound, he might have doubted whether the cat was really in the room when he was at the door just now.

Gin felt something at his feet. He looked down and saw that the latex pillow that was supposed to be on the bed was thrown at the door. There were two tiny holes on the pillow, as if it was bitten by a cat.

The only thing missing was the black cat that was supposed to be locked in the room.

Gin narrowed his eyes slightly and began to reconstruct what had just happened in his mind based on the scene in front of him.

After the black cat ran into the room, it first jumped onto the bed and dragged the latex pillow behind the door. Then it climbed up the curtains and pounced on the chandelier on the ceiling, causing the chandelier to start shaking and making noise.

Then the cat ran out into the hallway and kicked the door hard.

Gin had already seen how strong this cat was when it was playing with the milk can. Kicking the door should be no big deal for it.

The kick hit the door panel so hard that the door was kicked open, hit the latex pillow behind the door and bounced back, then closed with a "bang" and locked with a "click".

Finally, it used the sound of scratching the door to attract people...

Gin opened the door and walked back to the living room, and asked Vodka: "Did you see the black cat just now?"

Vodka was concentrating on reading the forum. When he heard Gin's question, he looked up and said in confusion, "Hey, brother, didn't you go back to your room to sleep? I saw the cat go upstairs after you went back to the room just now."

Gin glared at the innocent-looking Vodka with murderous eyes and walked up to the second floor.

As he expected, the window he had asked Vodka to lock was opened, and there was no trace of the black cat.

Gin:......

A cat that is not only skilled at picking locks, but can also design mechanisms to deceive people.

This person was obviously specially trained. Could he have been sent by some mortal enemy to investigate? Although he did not find any fragments from the cat.

However, he suddenly remembered that Jack Daniel seemed to have reported a black cat. What was it?

Gin turned and went downstairs: "Vodka, move immediately. Also, find someone to monitor this safe house, and pay special attention to the stray cats that approach here."
