Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

The serial bombings in Tokyo did not increase as explosively as Koizumi had expected. After the supply of finished explosives from Pramiya was gone, several sporadic and not serious explosions occurred, and then the whole of Tokyo temporarily entered a period of calm.

It’s hard to say whether this is because the people who received the tutorial didn’t work as hard to make explosives as Pramya expected, or because they didn’t have the necessary materials yet.

The Fire Bar gave Koizumi a total of ten investigation reports. Excluding Gin's, there were nine sets of purchaser information, and six of them contained accurate information.

In addition to the tutorial in the hands of Shota Oishi, the "Taro" of the Rainbow Theater, Koizumi successfully collected two more tutorials.

Both of them are newcomers to the dark web. The reason they bought the tutorial was either out of curiosity or they wanted to buy something cool to increase their sense of participation.

Even if these two wanted to make explosives according to the tutorial, it would be a bit difficult for them to collect all the materials.

When Koizumi approached them using Ash's alias, one of them was very scared, and immediately offered the item to him as soon as he heard Koizumi's goal. The other one, far from being scared, was extremely excited, and kept asking to exchange contact information with Koizumi, saying that he would take him with him if there was anything exciting in the future.

Koizumi pretended to agree to his request and bought back the tutorial at a price slightly higher than the original price.

The third is the professional scalper in the dark web.

Because this explosives tutorial was sold in limited quantities, this guy thought it had potential for appreciation, so he grabbed a copy and planned to stockpile it and then sell it at a higher price.

When Koizumi found him, he immediately offered her a price ten times higher.

You want me to pay 50 million for something worth 5 million?!

Koizumi just refused to be the scapegoat.

Just when she changed her vest and planned to go again to teach this guy a lesson, she unexpectedly discovered that the man was dead.

------

Inspector Megure was standing inside the cordon listening to his men's reports, and he didn't notice anything unusual about the young man in the crowd who had headphones around his neck and slightly messy hair.

"Did you find anything at the scene?"

"Apart from the two shots that killed the victim, Mr. Yamamura, no further signs of a fight were found. There was no sign that the victim's room had been rummaged through. Although the safe was open, the cash and bank passbooks inside were still there, so the possibility of robbery can be ruled out."

Another police officer came over and said, "Officer Megure, I asked the victim's neighbor, and the lady said that when she went out in the afternoon, she happened to see Mr. Yamamura having a visitor. She recognized that person, and it was the female detective who had appeared in newspapers and on TV before."

Koizumi: ...

He immediately reached into his pocket and put his phone on silent mode.

Officer Megure immediately took out her cell phone and started dialing. And as expected, her cell phone started vibrating.

Koizumi couldn't help but complain in his mind.

Does the female detective who has appeared in newspapers and on TV have to be me? How can they identify me right away? Can't there be other detectives who have both of these characteristics? !

Her current identity is really not suitable for being famous! She can be recognized no matter what she does, which is really too bad. She should try to use a pseudonym in the future.

Now she is only one step away from the second upgrade of Ash's disguise mask. I hope there will be a special effect that allows her to wear the disguise mask for a long time.

Also, she can no longer hold a backpack when using the Ash vest, so it would be best to find a different container to cover the backpack bomb in the future.

...For example, a guitar case?

Oh, if only there was some way to replace the backpack bomb in her storage space.

This backpack has been used for too long, and it has almost become a synonym for her identity. It is not very concealable. Not only is the power of the bomb slightly inferior to Pramya's finished explosives, but it also takes up two of her slots. It is really not worth it.

Officer Megure called Koizumi three times very persistently, but when he couldn't get through, he gave up and sent her an email instead.

"Besides Sakurai, did the neighbor see any other visitors?"

The police officer replied: "No, she said she went out and when she came back she found the door of her neighbor Mr. Yamamura's house was open. When she went in she found that Mr. Yamamura had been killed, and she immediately called the police."

Koizumi: ...

Tsk, I'm a murder suspect? Trouble!

Koizumi waited for a while and found that he could not get any useful clues from the police, so he turned around and left.

At this time, she already had some ideas in her mind.

But don't forget that Mr. Yamamura is a scalper. Since he plans to resell the tutorial, he will definitely leave the transaction information on the dark web.

Maybe after she left, a new buyer took advantage of her.

Moreover, this person was quite cautious. Not only did he not leave any useful clues, but he was also not greedy for money.

…Maybe there are clues, but the police can’t find them?

Regardless of anything else, she had to find an alibi for herself as soon as possible!

Koizumi immediately returned to the office and called out the public security contact Mr. Maejima who was working honestly in the cat cafe to discuss the perjury. Then he went upstairs to avoid other people's sight.

But as soon as he walked into the door of the reception room, Koizumi was stunned.

Daju was actually lying on the sofa in her reception room.

How did this guy get upstairs?

Without waiting for Xiaoquan to ask, Daju answered her question directly: "Boss, a man sneaked into your room when no one was paying attention. He opened the safe and took away the three booklets inside. 】

Koizumi:!!!

She hurried to the safe and was shocked to see that her safe was indeed open, and all three tutorials she had were missing!

She was robbed! Her house was robbed!

And there is no doubt that this is the guy who killed Mr. Huangniu Shancun in the afternoon and made her bear the blame of being a murder suspect!

Like her, this person is also collecting Pramya's tutorials on making explosives!

Since this person was able to find her, could he have bought the information from the Liehuo Bar? !

Koizumi immediately took out his cell phone and called Shinji Hagiya.

"Boss Hagiya, you haven't sold my personal information to anyone, have you?!"

"Hmm? Wait a minute."

On the phone, Koizumi heard Shinji Hagiya call his men and ask, "Has anyone bought Sakurai's personal information recently?"

"Yes. There are other people on the dark web who have purchased all the tutorial purchasers' information. The information we provided him included the identity information of Ms. Sakurai's 'apprentice'."

Koizumi was anxious and shouted: "How could your people..."

But Shinji Hagiya interrupted her: "Why not? You know what I do. Not to mention that it's not me who handles the commission, even if it was me, do you want me to give up the business?"

Koizumi was a little agitated: "You even do business with your own people?!"

"One of us?" Shinji Hagiya smiled deeply and asked, "Are you?"

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

"Remember, friendship is friendship, and business is business."

Koizumi was silent for a moment. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down. After a while, she said, "I want to know who this person is."

Shinji Hagiya waited for her patiently. He laughed when he heard this: "Expedite? The price will be doubled."

Koizumi took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in his chest: "I'll go to the dark web and transfer the money to you right away."

"Okay. Since we still have some friendship, I'll allow you to pay later this time."

Perhaps Shinji Hagiya signaled to his men, and Koizumi heard the man's voice saying, "The person who purchased Ms. Sakurai's information is another buyer of the Pramia tutorial, and his dark web name is 'Master Hanabi'."

After hanging up the phone, Koizumi sat down stiffly on the sofa, reached out and hugged the big orange cat in his arms, buried his face in its soft and warm fur, his body trembling slightly and unable to calm down for a long time.

Yes, I am not a member of the Jingqiu Society, so I am not one of yours.

So even if there is something about Hongshu, the relationship between us is still just a relationship of interest.

I took it upon myself to treat you as my teammates.

It was my fault.

I took it upon myself to regard you as my backers.

It was my fault.

I have taken it upon myself to treat you as my close friends with whom I can be honest.

It was my fault.

It's my fault, it's all my fault!

------

"Boss, you should explain it clearly to Miss Sakurai. I believe she will understand. And Mr. Tani..."

Shinji Hagiya waved his hand to interrupt him: "It's done, there's nothing to explain."

Shinji Hagiya's butler wanted to say something but stopped himself, but seeing his master's firm attitude, he could only swallow the rest of his words.
