Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

When Koizumi opened the back door of the cat cafe, he saw two guys huddled outside, pulling each other and acting furtively.

Detective Nishijima looked over here warily when he found someone opening the door. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Koizumi. He lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Has that person left?"

This detective has some talent.

It was like this when she was blocking the detective in the alley before, and it was the same situation now when she was hiding from Gin. He really had a keen sense of danger.

Koizumi smiled and said, "He's gone."

Detective Nishijima asked worriedly, "How did you find out we were here? Do you have a camera here? Could you please delete the video footage?"

Koizumi glanced at him, then turned to the person next to him and asked, "Youqiao, I remember the bounty hasn't ended yet, so why are you two together?"

Yoshiaki Aburashi put a piece of tape on his mouth, made a helpless gesture to her to keep quiet, and pointed at Detective Nishijima next to him.

Koizumi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask him first. Now everyone in the room is my own, so both of you come in."

Koizumi took the two people directly to the reception room upstairs.

Detective Nishijima was shocked when he saw Nekozuka checking the room. Later, he confirmed that this man was indeed Koizumi's own man, and then he dared to sit down on the sofa. However, his doubtful eyes kept wandering around this burly guy.

"Boss, I've checked it out. No ears are left."

"Okay, thank you. You continue to help Sister Mingmei. I'll chat with these two for a while."

While Detective Nishijima was observing and guarding against Nekozuka, Koizumi logged into the dark web and took a look at the bounty.

[Task deadline: 38 hours (countdown has started)

Number of people who have accepted the bounty: 3351 (updated in real time).

Reward completion status: 3 people (updated in real time). 】

Koizumi: ...

I swallowed involuntarily.

Is it normal for the number of people to accept this bounty?

But with such a large base, there are still only three people who completed the task?

Koizumi praised directly: "Youqiao, you are amazing!"

Although he couldn't speak, Yubashi still had a smug expression on his face and pointed at Detective Nishijima who was sitting close to him.

Koizumi: "Detective Nishijima, could you please explain what is going on?"

After Detective Nishijima's explanation, Koizumi finally understood why Aburashi's record was so impressive.

"…That's it. If he pays 10 yen and 10 points, I'll give him up as a bounty target."

Koizumi looked at Yubashi: "...So this is how you solve all your problems?"

Ability to use cash?

Without waiting for Yubashi to express his opinion, Detective Nishijima said with some complacency: "I think the others were all dealt with by money, right? But I am a mid-level hunter after all, and I can't fool them with money alone."

Koizumi: ...

This guy just openly admitted that he was fooled, and seemed quite proud of it?

Koizumi: "So, what do you want to do with me?"

"Because the points transaction requires a notary, and we can't find a suitable person for the time being, Youqiao suggested coming to you."

Koizumi nodded simply: "Sure, no problem. What should I do?"

"I have drafted a transaction post. All you have to do is leave a message on it using your ID and admit that you are responsible for this transaction."

Detective Nishijima looked at Koizumi as he spoke: "So you are the one who initiated this reward, the apprentice?"

He curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "A beginner hunter who is a complete novice..."

"Is there anything else to be required of a notary?"

Seeing that Koizumi really didn't understand anything, Detective Nishijima explained, "Of course, the higher the level of the notary, the more effective the notarization will be. This can avoid a lot of trouble that may arise later."

"for example?"

"For example, if a dispute arises in a transaction, or one party breaches the contract after the transaction, the notary public will be responsible for punishing the party that breached the contract. If the notary public has a high level, the deterrent effect will be high, and similar situations will not easily occur."

Koizumi nodded: "I understand. I have another question, do so many people usually come to take up the bounty?"

Detective Nishijima: "Of course not. Your reward is used by others for gambling. Because you did not set a limit on the number of recipients, it attracted a bunch of professional scoundrels who bet that you don't have such a high ability to pay. If the reward is revoked or changed, they can get a share of the compensation."

"I see."

Koizumi nodded.

"Since you are so patient in helping me answer the questions, I will change my identity and notarize it for you."

Under the two people's puzzled gazes, Koizumi logged into the "Ash" account.

She smiled and said to Detective Nishijima: "This will satisfy your request, right?"

After seeing the name on the computer screen, Detective Nishijima first became stunned, then showed a shocked expression.

"Ash, Lord Ashes..."

His face was full of disbelief, staring at Koizumi from head to toe: "You, you, you are Lord Huijin's..."

Koizumi smiled but didn't reply. He turned to Youqiao and said, "Now you can safely remove the seal from your mouth, right?"

Aburashi Yoshiaki tore off the tape on his mouth, rushed over and hugged Koizumi's thighs, shouting: "Master Sakurai! I am your dog!"

Koizumi: ...

Just throw this guy out there and let him die... I really want to beat him up!

Koizumi sent Detective Aburashi and Nishijima downstairs to wait for dinner, and she stayed in the reception room to take care of some things.

When she was notarizing them just now, the two of them insisted on adding her as their friend. At this moment, Xiaoquan suddenly remembered the original reason why Dr. Gu gave her this account.

She opened the friends interface.

This vest doesn't have many friends, but at a glance, they are all high-level or even special-level hunters with special effects. Among the names of this group of big guys, the junior and senior ordinary accounts stand out.

Koizumi immediately found the new recruit's ID that Dr. Gu mentioned.

[Received a message from "7 minutes 45 seconds": Sorry, I am an unqualified contact person. But I will continue to work hard! ]

Koizumi: ...

This is really a surprise. I didn't expect it to be you.

Dr. Tani actually led Kazami Yuya to the dark web for such a trivial matter? What was his plan? Koizumi had always guessed that Dr. Tani was planning to help the highest official of the public security department to make connections.

She had already done everything she could, and there seemed to be nothing to say to this person. Moreover, she would not have any more interactions with Kazami, and the next time they met, he would probably be the contact person of Furuya Rei.

Koizumi didn't reply in the end. He just turned off his phone and went downstairs.

Come on, Kazami. I hope you can really become a standalone contact person.

------

At the dining table.

Miyano Akemi, Nekozuka, Ababashi Yoshiaki, and Detective Nishijima, four people who were originally completely unrelated, gathered together.

With the help of alcohol and Youqiao's deliberate antics, the originally somewhat weird atmosphere gradually became warmer.

In order not to spoil the fun, Koizumi poured himself a glass of wine and joined them in eating and drinking.

She looked at the four people sitting there with a smile.

Apart from Detective Nishijima, the "entry point into the dark web" who still needs to be understood and adjusted, the "core man" Nekozuka, the "clerical man" Miyano Akemi, the "intelligence man" Ababashi Yoshiaki, the "legal man" Kisaki Eri who is not present, and Kamimatsu Hisao who is "still of no use" and far away in the United States, these are considered her initial team.

And of course…

[Sakurai, what do you think? ]

[No, I can't do it. I refuse! You can continue to split yourself! I will just continue to be my surveillance camera.]

Koizumi smiled.

[Okay, I'll make you a "monitor."]

[…What? By the way, I wrote a plan while you were on break. See if it can be of use to you. It’s in the middle drawer.]

Koizumi took it out and flipped through it out of curiosity.

"TSE Plan"?

After reading it, Koizumi's eyes lit up.

Watch it again...

It works!

Read it again carefully...

There's a lot to be done!

"Sakurai, it's a waste of your talent to ask you to split the vest!"
