Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"...What?" Tamaoka Takuma slammed the table in anger, "Is what you said true?"

"Yes, Boss, it's absolutely true!" The team leader shouted exaggeratedly, "Not only me, but also the brothers who went with me saw it."

Tamaoka Takuma frowned, and after a while he sat back in his seat: "The person you saw was indeed Sakata?"

"Yes, it is indeed Sakata's face!"

"What about the voice? Did he say anything?"

The captain thought about it and realized that when the bullet hit him, the man made a male voice. So he said with certainty: "I am sure it was Sakata himself!"

"Midorikawa did shoot him?"

"Yes, right here, on my arm, there's a lot of blood!"

The team leader gestured exaggeratedly.

"…And then you let him escape?"

The smile on the team leader's face froze instantly.

Damn it, shouldn't I have just said that I wasn't sure it was Sakata himself?

"Hmph, a bunch of rubbish. The only thing that interests me now is..."

"Yes?"

Tamaoka Takuma glanced at the captain and said, "Hmph, where is Midorikawa?"

"He, he went back to his room to sleep after he came back."

Tamaoka Takuma stood up: "Take me there, I want to have a good talk with him."

Eh? Eh?!

It wasn't a summons? Boss Tamaoka actually took the initiative to find Midorikawa Hikaru? This is the rhythm of taking off!

I, I should have tried to fawn on Lord Midorikawa on my way back!

When Tamaoka Takuma arrived at the door of Midorikawa Hikaru's residence, he found it quiet. He pushed the door open and the room was also quiet. The guys who usually gathered here to play cards and make trouble were not there at all. They had all disappeared.

Takuma Tamaoka glanced at the captain inquiringly, receiving an awkward smile in return.

"Because of what happened last night, everyone is a little scared of Midorikawa, so, hehe, so..."

"Hmph, trash."

Takuma Tamaoka walked to Midorikawa's room and was about to push the door open, but after a moment of hesitation, he stopped and knocked on the door twice instead.

The room was quiet and there was no response.

Knocked on the door again, still no answer.

Takuma Tamaoka became impatient, kicked the door open and walked in, then he was so scared that his heart skipped a beat and he stood still.

Midorikawa Hikaru was lying on the bed, half propped up, with a pistol pointed at him in one hand, his face still in a daze, half asleep and half awake.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and Midorikawa blinked his eyes, as if he had just come to his senses and recognized who had broken in.

He put the gun back under the pillow, slowly sat up from the bed, glanced at the sky outside the window, yawned and asked, "What's the matter, Boss? It's finally quiet today, I want to sleep more."

Tamaoka Takuma: ...

This demeanor, this tone...

If a gun had not been pointed at his head just now, Takuma Tamaoka would have thought that everything he heard was made up by the captain. The person in front of him was clearly the same useless person who had lost his dream that day!

"who are you?"

Midorikawa Hikaru looked at him with a puzzled look: "Midorikawa Hikaru."

"How did you find Sakata?"

"Just, a chance encounter."

"You really followed him just to practice pickpocketing?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Have you ever killed someone?"

For a moment, Tamaoka Takuma clearly saw a gleam of brilliance in Midorikawa's eyes, but he immediately restrained himself, scratched his head with a sad face, and replied in a lazy tone: "Boss, don't joke like that."

Killer! This is a killer!

Absolutely right, that look just now! He definitely didn't see it wrong!

Tamaoka Takuma was overjoyed.

Regardless of why this guy would lurk in the Mad Dog Society and portray himself in this way, at the critical moment when he is about to face the security company and that old man Futian, this is simply a surprise weapon given to him by God!

Tamaoka Takuma showed a determined smile on his face. He pulled a chair and sat down, saying, "I didn't expect you to carry a gun. The people living with you have never found it. You hid it well."

Midorikawa Hikaru laughed foolishly: "Haha, it's okay."

"I heard that you are very accurate with your gun and your shots are very decisive. Have you ever had a similar experience before?"

The smile on Midorikawa's face faded a little, and he didn't reply.

"How could someone as capable as you hide in a small place like our Mad Dog Club? Are you hiding from someone? Oh, by the way, I remember you came to Tokyo to look for someone. I have some connections in the Metropolitan Police Department, do you want me to help you?"

The smile on Midorikawa's face became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared completely. He just stared at her expressionlessly with a pair of dead fish eyes.

Takuma Tamaoka felt a strong sense of oppression.

Although he was a little nervous, he still maintained a smile.

After a while, Midorikawa said coldly, "Don't bother with the Metropolitan Police Department."

Tamaoka Takuma was delighted.

It turns out your weakness is the Metropolitan Police Department!

Tamaoka Takuma spread his hands: "It's okay, it's not a big deal. It's just a phone call, right?"

He reached into his pocket and pulled out five 10,000 yen bills and placed them on the table next to him: "This is the bonus we agreed on earlier."

Midorikawa glanced at the bills and continued in a cold tone, "We agreed on 40,000, and the man hasn't been caught yet."

"But doesn't this confirm that the other person is indeed the Sakata I'm looking for? Let's be friends, haha, let's be friends."

Midorikawa stared at him for a long while before speaking again: "What do you want to do?"

Tamaoka Takuma laughed and said, "Actually, brother, I have a big deal coming up. I was worried that my subordinates were too useless to handle it, but now that we have a master like Midorikawa, it will be easy to complete."

Midorikawa Hikaru sneered and said in a firm tone: "...You want to hire me to kill someone."

Tamaoka Takuma's eyes were full of brilliance: "Hahaha, whether to hire or not, we are all friends, so it's not a big deal to mention money, right?"

"...You still plan to get it for free?"

"Oh, what are you saying? Aren't you one of our Mad Dogs?"

Midorikawa Hikaru was almost laughing at his anger: "Get lost! Do you really think I need your help?"

Tamaoka Takuma laughed and said, "Isn't this the only thing you need? Otherwise, why would you come back? And it's obviously not convenient for you to go out and show yourself in front of the police now, Midorikawa, right?"

Midorikawa Hikaru's face looked very ugly. He stared at the smug guy opposite him with gritted teeth, and suddenly he sneered, with a fierce light in his eyes.

"There's another way, isn't there?"

He suddenly pulled out the pistol from under the pillow, stood in front of Tamaoka Takuma in one step, and put the muzzle of the gun to his head: "As long as I kill you now, there will be no trouble."

Tamaoka Takuma froze.

Damn, this is too much!

Hearing the sound of a gun bolt being opened above his head, he quickly raised his hands and said with a shameless smile: "Calm down! Calm down. If we make a big noise here, it will not be good for you or me, right? Look, there is a witness next to us..."

He wanted to say that there was a little brother of his standing nearby as a witness, so you can’t just deal with me.

As a result, when he turned around, his team leader saw that the situation was not good and ran away. By then, no one knew where he had run to.

Midorikawa Hikaru gritted his teeth and tried hard not to laugh.

He poked the man opposite him in the head with the gun in his hand: "Oh? Where is the witness?"

Takuma Tamaoka's face looked extremely ugly, he even had the urge to kill someone, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Midorikawa Hikaru retreated back to the bed and sat down, playing with the gun in his hand and chuckling: "Since this farce is quite funny, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn. Tamaoka Takuma calmed down and put on a smile again: "I want you to help me kill someone."

"Oh. Who do you want to kill?"

"The female detective who is currently in the limelight, Sakurai Izumi."

Midorikawa's eyelids twitched violently, but he still pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Do you have a grudge against her?"

Tamaoka Takuma chuckled and said vaguely, "Heh, you can't kill someone just because of a grudge. How about it, can you do it?"

Midorikawa Hikaru faced the other party's expectant eyes and sneered: "...No."

Tamaoka Takuma was stunned.

"If that guy Tamaoka Takuma makes any requests, you might as well leave him alone a few times. The more you act arrogantly, the more he will respect you. To sum it up in one word: cheap! Two words: ship! Three words: masochist!"

"…What do you mean by ship?"

"A ship is not called a ship, it is called a warship."

"Pfft! Hahaha!"

"Don't just laugh, remember this. This is what our seniors have said."

"There is another thing. Tamaoka Takuma is looking for a way to buy arms. If you have a chance, give him the contact information of this arms dealer."

"...Russian arms dealer, this is it?"

"hehe."

"…Okay, okay, no asking again. I get it."
