Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

This is the first time that Gin has seen Tequila appear in the Daikoku Bar after Nekozuka got the code name of Tequila.

That guy Merlo always said that Tequila had other missions, and I don’t know what she was doing in secret.

They actually agreed to bring the person out today, which means something happened.

Facing Gin's suspicious gaze, Koizumi walked over with a smile and said hello: "Hi, Gin, long time no see."

Gin looked her over, especially at her bald head protected by her baseball cap and hood. "You look ridiculous now."

Koizumi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Then laugh as much as you want. I won't charge you."

She sat down at the table, and Nekozuka stood behind Koizumi with a suitcase in his hand, expressionless, his hands hanging by his sides.

Gin glanced over and saw the gun bag tied to Nekozuka's leg.

Putting the gun in the most convenient position clearly shows that the gun is in combat readiness, ready to strike at any time.

This loyal dog look is really eye-catching.

Gin couldn't help but glance at Vodka, who was sitting next to him and watching the fun happily, and curled his lips slightly.

Koizumi saw all of Gin's reactions and felt amused, but he didn't show any unnecessary expression on his face. He just asked casually, "Why didn't I see your Porsche today? Did you change your car?"

Hearing what Koizumi said, Vodka was stunned for a moment: "No, I just parked the car on the side of the road."

As Vodka was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Koizumi's expression opposite him was a little strange.

"...Vodka, you didn't park illegally again, did you?"

Vodka:…

Cold sweat suddenly broke out.

Could it be that Boss Gin's car was towed away by a tow truck? No way, no way, no way!

He turned his head to look at Gin's ugly face beside him, jumped up from his chair, rushed to the window and looked down.

It’s gone, really gone!

"Big, big brother, I'll go down and take a look!"

Vodka didn't dare to look at Gin's expression and rushed out of the door of the Big Black Bar at an unprecedented speed.

Koizumi watched Vodka disappear and stretched out his hand to cover the corners of his mouth that were curling up wildly.

Gin's beloved little car is now in her storage space.

Although she didn't intend to use this trick to cause a traffic accident for Gin, it didn't stop her from playing pranks, did it?

Gin kept staring at Koizumi, and of course he didn't miss the gloating that was about to overflow from her eyes. He lit a cigarette for himself and asked calmly, "Did you report it?"

Koizumi smiled righteously and said, "Don't be ridiculous. I won't do such a thing. How can it benefit me?"

Gin:......

Words spoken with this expression are not convincing at all.

He snorted coldly and got straight to the point: "Where are the things?"

Koizumi looked up at Nekozuka, who immediately put the suitcase in his hand on the table.

Gin frowned slightly.

He knew very well that this standard-sized suitcase could not hold even 100 million yen in cash, let alone 200 million yen.

What is Melo doing?

But looking at her calm expression, it was obvious that she was confident that she could pass him.

So what’s in the box is…

Without Vodka's help, Gin had to do it himself. He unlocked the suitcase, opened a crack and took a look inside.

It's neatly arranged inside...

An envelope.

Ha, that’s exactly what happened.

Gin reached out and took out the envelope, opened it and saw two anonymous cash checks for 100 million yen inside, drawn by the Oyamada family's company.

With Gin's intelligence network, of course, he had already investigated the explosion at Victoria Elementary School that day. He knew the whole story better than those useless cops in the Metropolitan Police Department. Therefore, he not only knew why the cash check of the Oyamada family was in Melo's hands, but also knew exactly how much benefit Melo had gained this time.

Other people in the organization get money by collecting dirt on entrepreneurs or politicians and blackmailing them, or by stealing or robbing. In short, they either use words or force.

Only Melo relies on his luck to make money.

Gin took the two cash checks in his hand and looked at Koizumi with a complicated look: "Your method of transferring money is really unique."

Koizumi's expression was actually a little smug: "What do you care what method I use? Anyway, I got the money back for you."

This guy was nearly killed by the bomb in that warehouse. What on earth is there to be so proud of?

Little madman.

Gin sneered, put the check back into the envelope and put it in his pocket: "Whatever. You're so happy to hand over the money, it seems that the profit is good?"

Koizumi smiled and nodded, "Not bad. Anyway, I don't have to worry about funding in the short term."

Gin:......

I reasonably suspect that you are implying something to me!

Gin suddenly felt depressed when he thought about how much money he needed and how hard it was to get money. He even suspected that there was something wrong with the way he transferred money.

Koizumi tilted his head and looked at Gin with a smile, and suddenly said, "Gin, I have a question."

Gin glanced at her coldly and said, "Speak."

“If I have a need, can I post a task in the organization?”

Gin simply pointed in the direction of the bartender Tom with his chin without saying anything.

Koizumi turned his head and glanced at the bar. "But my request is a bit difficult. I think only the code members are capable of completing it. Well, let me be frank. I think you are the only one who can do my task."

Gin narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous look.

Are you still planning to order him to do things?

Even if the gentleman said they were equals, did this woman really intend to challenge his authority? Even Rum wasn't that arrogant!

Koizumi certainly noticed the change in his demeanor, but he just smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. Let me finish what I'm saying first."

Gin didn't express any meaning, he just stared at her sharply.

Koizumi slightly restrained the smile on his face and said seriously: "I need information about 'Pramya', the more detailed the better."

Gin frowned.

He did have information on this. But was Melo still planning to continue to bother about the explosives tutorial? Why? What was she planning to do? Was she thinking of herself as a messenger of justice or an international policeman?

Or maybe she was just helping the police gather intelligence?

This woman, could it be that she is lying...

"I was sniped, you know that?"

Gin's pupils suddenly shrank.

Seeing his reaction, Koizumi was a little surprised: "Why, you don't know about this?"

Gin frowned and asked in a deep voice: "...You? Were you sniped? What happened?"

"Eh? The Investigation Division is pretty tight-lipped this time... No, they probably didn't realize I was sniped."

correct answer.

Because of the damned Matsuura Shun, although everyone in the Investigation Section heard two gunshots, no one expected that Koizumi was also a target of attack. They just thought that the killer accidentally shot her because of his poor shooting skills.

The only ones who actually realized that Koizumi was the sniper's target were Koizumi himself, Nekozuka, Matsuda, and Hagiwara.

If Inspector Megure knew that the sniper's target was her, he would not have sent only one person to guard the door of her ward, and she would not have been able to leave the hospital so easily.

That's why no news came out, and even Gin didn't know about it...

Koizumi, who suddenly realized this, was a little speechless. She put her hand on her forehead and said helplessly: "Yes, you heard it right. I was sniped. The sniper had two targets, me and Matsuura Jun. Matsuura Jun died on the spot. I was lucky and only suffered this injury."

As she spoke, she slightly tilted her head to show Gin the scar on her face that had not yet disappeared.

"Also, you should know Kitamura Yoji, the 'fireworks master' on the dark web, the largest gunpowder dealer in Tokyo. I reasonably speculate that his death was also the work of this sniper."

Gin suddenly spoke with certainty: "You also bought Pramya's tutorial."

Koizumi choked.

This person is really sharp.

She just said these words, but Gin had already come to the conclusion.

“Yes, I bought it too.”

Koizumi nodded and admitted: "I actually picked up two tutorials when I went to the airport that day. But when I took them out, I found that they were two identical tutorials."

Gin looked at her with a strange expression: "…Why did you buy that thing?"

"Study and learn from it so that I can improve my own work."

Gin:......

Very good, with good reasons, impeccable.

And now that it comes to this, it doesn't seem so stupid that I bought a tutorial for Melo.

He is urging Melo to improve!

Ah, I feel much better.
