Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Koizumi said goodbye. Just as Kudo Yusaku sent her downstairs, he heard the doorbell ring.

When I opened the door, I saw that the person who came was an unexpected acquaintance.

Kudo Yusaku was very surprised and said: "Zhongbin? Didn't you go to the United States? When did you come back to Neon?"

"last night."

The man was holding a little boy about three or four years old, and the smile on his face was a little forced: "Happy New Year, Yusaku. I shouldn't have bothered you at this time, but I'm in a difficult situation right now. Can I let Hiroki stay at your place for two days?"

Kudo Yusaku asked in surprise: "Hey, what's going on?"

The man sighed and said, "I'll tell you after this is resolved. What do you think?"

Kudo Yusaku was a little embarrassed: "Our family has booked a trip to Sapporo to watch the Snow Festival this afternoon, this..."

Koizumi, who had been watching quietly on the side, suddenly said, "If you don't mind, I can help you take care of the child for two days."

Both men were stunned.

Xiaoquan smiled and said, "It's been very quiet these two days. The two people in the store have gone home for something, so it's just me and a bunch of cats. There won't be any outsiders to disturb us."

The man named Zhongbin looked at her and then at his friend hesitantly.

Kudo Yusaku understood, but still felt a little surprised: "You are willing to take care of children? But I heard from Shinichi that you don't seem to have much patience with children."

Koizumi nodded, chuckled twice, and said bluntly: "I really don't have much patience for your brat. But I think he is the one who should reflect on why I dislike him so much but not Xiaolan and Sonoko."

Regardless of the strange looks from the two men, Koizumi continued, "When I was investigating drug dealers at Teitan Elementary School, your little bastard acted on his own and almost got me discovered by the drug dealers. Later, when he found out that the criminals were holding guns, he rushed forward without caring. While I was in the hospital, he went to investigate the case more than once. Mr. Kudo, you were there at the hospital that time, can you say that this was not the result of your indulgence?"

Koizumi didn't care about Kudo Yusaku's extremely embarrassed expression, and said bluntly: "Let me be frank, if you continue to indulge him like this, this kid will cause big trouble sooner or later. Don't be complacent about his cleverness, Mr. Kudo."

The man named Zhongbin looked at this scene in surprise, turned his head and asked cautiously in a low voice: "Yusaku, who is this?"

After a slight hesitation, Kudo Yusaku introduced her to his friend: "Her name is Sakurai Izumi, and she's a detective."

The man looked thoughtful: "Sakurai Izumi? I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

The little boy who had been held by his hand suddenly spoke up in a tender voice: "Dad, I've seen her picture in the newspaper. She's the sister who helped the police solve the case."

Koizumi smiled.

She bent down and looked at the little boy with a smile: "Yes, it's me. I have more than a dozen cats in my office, as well as books and computers. It should be no problem for you to go and play for a few days. How about it, are you interested, little guy?"

When the boy heard about the computer, his eyes lit up, but he said nothing, only looked up at his father eagerly.

Mr. Tadaki had already remembered who Koizumi was, and greeted her with a bit of surprise: "So it's Detective Sakurai. Excuse me, I've heard a lot about you. It would be great if you were willing to help me take care of Hiroki for two days, and I can pay you a commission!"

Koizumi smiled and waved his hand: "Forget about the commission fee. I'm the only one in the office during the New Year, and I'm feeling a bit bored. As long as it's not a brat like the Kudo family, I'm still happy to help."

This was the first time that Kudo Yusaku had encountered a situation where his child was disliked by others. Koizumi's ruthless criticism made him feel a little embarrassed, and he was also surprised by Koizumi's sudden friendliness.

Is it really because she dislikes Shinichi so much that she never restrains her aggressiveness in front of them?

So she is the type who will give in to softness and not hardness? She is less wary of the obedient personality?

Koizumi had no idea that his words had caused Kudo Yusaku to imagine so many things.

She smiled at Mr. Zhongbin and said, "My office is not too far from here. Why don't you come with me to take a look before making a decision?"

The man nodded and agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Tadaki Mura, and this is my son Hiroki Mura, who is four years old."

Although Koizumi can no longer remember the name of Hiroki Sawada's biological father in the movie, Hiroki should be that Hiroki!

Hiroki Sawada, a 10-year-old MIT graduate student, the inventor of the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, and a genius child who was eventually forced to commit suicide because of Schindler's persecution!

Calculating the time, he should be around three or four years old now.

Koizumi always thought that Hiroki Sawada was in the United States, and planned to ask Hisao Kamimatsu to try to help find him, but he didn't expect to meet him at Kudo's house.

Thank you, my dear father, for giving me this fateful encounter!

Koizumi squatted down in front of the little boy, smiled and stretched out his hand to him: "Hello, little Hongshu."

Unexpectedly, Koizumi did not shake hands with her father, but instead extended her hand to her. Xiao Hongshu hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his little hand and shook hands with her gently.

Koizumi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Wow, so cute!"

If it was that brat Kudo Shinichi, he would probably roll his eyes and say: Eh? What are you trying to do, weird auntie.

Seeing that his son and Koizumi seemed to get along well, Tadaki Imura was very happy: "My car is parked outside. If you don't mind, you can take my car and go over together."

"no problem."

Koizumi turned to Kudo Yusaku and nodded: "Then I'll take my leave. I'll trouble you to pass on the message."

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving together, Kudo Yusaku frowned slightly, feeling a vague sense of disharmony in his heart.

However, before he could figure this out, his cell phone rang.

Seeing the incoming call number, Kudo Yusaku sighed with a headache.

"…I'm sorry, I didn't have the chance to ask those questions. But you should have heard everything about the follow-up plan, right? (Still playing dumb, how dare you say you didn't hear her scolding?)"

"...No, I won't be able to help you pass messages anytime soon. Please find a suitable contact person. (Don't let me take care of your troubles anymore!)"

"...I think you are overthinking it. She seems to be emotionally stable. It is good for her to vent her emotions properly to maintain her mental and spiritual state. (Good scolding, let her scold!)"

"...My opinion is that instead of having ineffective communication again and again, it is better to solve the internal problems first. (What about salary? What about money? What about equipment?)"

"…Sorry, I'm really busy. (I've helped you twice, I've done my best.)"

"...Okay, that's it. (It's finally over.)"

After hanging up the phone, Kudo Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief.

He really couldn't help with this matter any more.

By the time the conversation in the study was coming to an end, Kudo Yusaku had already figured it out.

Sakurai must have discovered the bug, and the flower she took out of the vase was her hint to herself.

But she still pretended that she didn't notice it, which actually showed that she didn't want to communicate directly with the police.

Sakurai had always been clear-headed and would not blindly believe the promises of the public security. Her complaints were all targeted, and it was obvious that she was taking this opportunity to curse and make demands.

Alas, this undercover job is really hard...
