Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

As the sky gradually darkened in the evening, Koizumi still hadn't received a call from Hiroki, but unexpectedly received a call from Gin.

When the call was connected, Gin asked straight to the point: "Mello, where is that kid with an IQ of 200?"

The organization really took action against Hiroki.

There really is an organized spy in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Hiroki temporarily escaped the organization's sight and his whereabouts are unknown.

In an instant, these thoughts flashed through Koizumi's mind.

Although she knew the answer, she still played dumb: "Are you talking about the kid named Hiroki Hiramura? I heard his mom made a scene at the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Gin didn't explain, but continued to ask: "Where is the person?"

Koizumi sneered: "Who knows? Maybe he has been taken to America by his stupid mother."

"You don't know where he's going?"

Koizumi said in an impatient tone: "How would I know? I'm not his mother."

"I heard that there is a group of gang members protecting him, and they seem to listen to you?"

Koizumi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could it be that the organization's spy was at the scene? Working in the organized crime countermeasures department?

She sneered: "Be obedient? Is your eye blind? Didn't I tell you that I was almost beaten up yesterday?"

Gin snorted and changed the subject: "So you really don't know anything?"

Well, we can basically rule out the possibility that there are spies in the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.

This person probably didn't see the scene, he just heard about it later, otherwise Gin would definitely pursue the claim of being "beaten up".

Koizumi secretly felt lucky and replied, "If you had asked me this question yesterday, I would have been able to help you track it down. Now it's been a day, where can I find someone for you? I've only seen the child once or twice, I'm not familiar with him."

"...Since you have discovered outstanding talents, why don't you report them to the organization in a timely manner?"

"Excellent?" Koizumi snorted coldly and said proudly, "No matter how excellent you are, can you be as good as me? You are just a four-year-old kid. What's the use of having a high IQ?"

"Huh, your IQ is 200?"

"Your IQ is 100? You believed his mother when she said her child was invincible? I also said my cat can turn into a human."

Gin was completely speechless after hearing her retort.

Listening to the person on the other end of the phone gasping in anger, Koizumi laughed to herself.

After a pause, she continued, "Besides, why should I report to you? I've never heard that my job includes human resources."

"...When you add more content to this job, remember this clearly!"

Before she could continue to refute, the call was hung up.

Koizumi stared at his phone.

What the hell?

You don't want me to be a broker like Kurofuji Kizo, do you?

Bah! You wish!

Koizumi threw his phone on the table and checked the soul link in his consciousness again.

There was no problem with the soul connection, but there was still no movement.

She picked up her phone again and checked the email.

Judging from Gin's tone, the situation on Hiroki's side should be very tense, but why hasn't this guy sent me any news yet?

------

Seeing more and more people joining the search in the hotel lobby, Xiao Hongshu became a little nervous.

He was watched closely the whole way and had no chance to act alone, nor did he dare to take out his cell phone.

Having finally had a chance to escape from his mother's control, Xiao Hongshu ran away without hesitation.

Because he was afraid of being discovered by the hotel waiter and forced to return, he did not dare to run far and hid behind the nearby green plants. He originally wanted to find another opportunity to run further, but he did not expect that a man would block his only way out.

And he still remembered the long-haired man, the guy who had been following their taxi!

Could this be the bad guy that Sakurai's father mentioned who had bad intentions towards him?

Could it be that the purpose of his hiding himself was to sneak himself away when no one was paying attention?

No, we can't wait any longer, we have to leave here immediately.

This person blocked the view outside and had his back to him, so this could be considered an empty enclosed space, which perfectly met Sakurai's father's requirements!

Xiao Hongshu immediately took out his hidden mobile phone and sent an email to Xiaoquan: "Dad, come pick me up soon!"

Almost the next second after the email was sent, his body suddenly disappeared from the spot, and his mobile phone fell to the ground before he could put it away.

While Shuichi Akai was observing the hotel lobby, he was also paying attention to the little guy behind him, although he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, what can such a small child do?

He heard the sound of a cell phone being pressed and wondered if the kid was playing a prank or calling for help, and then there was the sound of something falling to the ground with a click.

Akai Xiu looked back subconsciously and then was stunned.

There was no one behind him. The child was nowhere to be seen. There was only a cell phone dropped on the ground.

When I picked it up, I saw the "Mail Sent" interface.

So Akai Shuichi found the most recently sent email and saw the content on it...

“This is my son’s phone!”

The lady who happened to be nearby spotted the phone in Akai Shuichi's hand and screamed and rushed over.

Shuichi Akai resisted the urge to dodge and let her snatch his phone away.

At the same time, he keenly noticed that those "kind-hearted people" who were helping to find the child were also gathering here.

Shuichi Akai acted like an ordinary passerby and said, "Madam, I found this phone here."

He took a step to the side, asking everyone nearby to focus on the green plants behind him, while he blended into the crowd without being noticed.

Hongshu's mother took a look at the location of the green plants and found that the gap there was indeed big enough to hide a child.

She took another look at the email displayed on her phone, became furious, and immediately called the email address.

As soon as the call was connected, she yelled at the person on the other end of the phone: "Mura Tadaki, you bastard, where did you take my son?"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then a female voice said, "Ma'am, you dialed the wrong number? I'm not Mr.? Village, I'm Sakurai Izumi."

"Sakurai?!" The woman became even angrier, "What is your relationship with my husband? Where did you take my son?!"

The female voice on the other end became impatient: "Hey, are you sick? If you have any questions, go ask your husband, why are you yelling at me? Besides, aren't you taking Hongshu to the United States? If there is a problem, why don't you go to the local police instead of calling me who is far away in Japan?"

After hearing her words, the woman realized that something was wrong.

Indeed, even if Sakurai Izumi is a somewhat famous detective, she is only confined to Neon, no, confined to Tokyo. What does her problem in Los Angeles have to do with this woman?

Although she thought so rationally, Hongshu's mother still yelled into the phone: "Just wait, I'm calling the police now! You must have taken my son away!"

Standing in the crowd, Akai Shuichi frowned slightly.

Sakurai...

He remembered clearly that the new member of the organization code-named "Merlot" was named Sakurai.

Will it be the same person?

Could it be that the loss of the child was actually a plot set up by Mello on Earth? She, the mastermind behind the scenes, had cleared herself of all charges.

As for why the child disappeared for no reason...

Shuichi Akai took another careful look at the small space behind the green plants. The exit had clearly been blocked by him, so how did the child disappear?

Was the cell phone thrown on the ground accidentally dropped when the child was taken away, or was it left there intentionally?

After taking another look at the woman who was angrily talking on the phone, he made up his mind.

This must be a prop deliberately left behind to hook this woman!

The organization’s target was indeed this woman.

So what was it about her that made those guys pay attention to her?

Shuichi Akai slowly stepped out of the crowd and walked to the other corner of the hall, then called his partner.

"Judy, how are things going over there?"

"Xiu, I was just about to call you. The guy I was following just dealt with the taxi and then ran to the bar to drink. There didn't seem to be anything else unusual."

"Well, then you call James now and tell him to bring people over immediately and prepare for action."

"What happened to you?!"

"The woman in the taxi just now is indeed the target of those gang members. We have to snatch her away before they do. We may be able to find important information about Merlot wine on her."

"Okay, I'll call James right now!"

"Well, it has to be fast."

After hanging up the phone, Shuichi Akai looked at the woman who was still surrounded by a group of "kind-hearted people" and moved closer to her again.

Okay, now the question is: how can he steal this woman without exposing himself?
